JonathanMy hand stopped moving as I was brushing her hair back behind her ear. At that moment, I suddenly remembered Elina’s condition.I was here with Lora, yet my thoughts were not on her.Elina had also fallen down the stairs at the same time as Lora, and earlier I had forgotten about her, leaving her lying on the floor because Lora’s condition worried me more.For the first time, I heard Elina beg me.“Please…”Her trembling voice echoed in my mind again.“Jonny…” Lora called softly.I looked at her and smiled. Her face still looked pale because of what had happened earlier when she fell.Lora said that Elina was the one who had done this to her. And that was hard to believe. All this time, Elina had never been rough or aggressive. She always did what I told her.She was truly the kind of woman who remained calm and would do anything to please others.“Jonny, what are you thinking about?”Seeing Lora hold my hand, I felt something a little strange.I didn’t understand why my thou

ElinaThe past few months haven’t been easy for me. Sometimes I experienced anxiety and nightmares that left me feeling down.The pain from the wounds I carried ran so deep that I had to go through psychological therapy sessions.Losing my child truly shook me. Over these past months, I’ve struggled hard to get through that hardship.I didn’t want to feel that kind of pain again.I’m fortunate to finally return to my real family. As the daughter of the Everhart family, I was welcomed warmly, which eased the emptiness in my heart.They are the ones who made me feel more confident than ever before.At this moment, I smiled as I saw my reflection in the mirror, making sure nothing was lacking. I could say that I looked amazing.After finishing preparations, I took a deep breath and finally went out to meet my father and mother, who were already ready. My mother’s face lit up as she saw me.“You look so beautiful, Elina,” my mother said.I nodded in agreement, smiling. I had already prais

ElinaToday, I prepared myself to attend a banquet. After everything I’ve been through, I can face it now.The man who is my fiancé might be there. Even though I won’t be marrying him, I still feel nervous. After all, this will be our first meeting since I disappeared.There’s a sense of curiosity within me about him. All I know is that he’s an extraordinary man. I’ve often heard my parents praise him for achieving so much.The heir of the Halston family is considered a miracle.He has often been abroad, rapidly expanding his business since he was a teenager.Here, I was suddenly startled by the arm of the man I had just seen wrapping around my waist. He smiled confidently.“What business do you have with my woman?”It made my body freeze. The arm around my waist felt unfamiliar, but I didn’t push it away.Just like him, I looked at Jonathan with cold eyes.I truly didn’t expect him to be at this banquet. Seeing him with Lora made my blood boil—especially because he still thought the

ElinaSince Lucius and I had reached an agreement, both of our parents knew about it.When my dad and mom found out, they couldn’t hide their happiness. I knew that if they truly wanted this, they trusted him very well because of their friendship.We had just finished breakfast together. Mom looked at me with a smile that made me curious. She gently touched my hand.“When are you going on a date, Elina? Maybe before Lucius gets really busy, you two can go out.”She sounded sincerely concerned. She couldn’t hide her happiness, wanting to encourage me to grow closer to Lucius.Honestly, it made me a little stressed. I mean, he and I were just carrying out this engagement formally. We hadn’t discussed things like dating.I cleared my throat softly. “Ah… maybe later, Mom. After I finish some of my work.”I spoke with a small lie to avoid continuing this conversation endlessly.“Just let them do things their way. They’re still young.” My dad comforted me with his words.Mom hugged me after

ElinaI could say that the relationship between the Everhart family and the Halston family was perfectly fine. In fact, they often talked about how my relationship with Lucius was growing closer.They believed we understood each other better than before. In reality, the few times we met were only brief encounters—just enough to show that everything was fine.Beyond that, we were both busy with our own matters.At this moment, I had just leaned back and yawned after finishing some documents related to something I truly wanted.A week ago, I heard from my father that there would be a collaboration with a car racing club. I really wanted it, so I worked hard to prove to him that I was capable of handling it.I’ve always been interested in sports rehabilitation because I like sports. Jonathan’s grandfather allowed me to take a major other than business administration, and I was truly happy about that.However, because I had to help Jonathan manage the company, I ended up putting that asid
