11. The Woman He Didn't Choose

"That's Vallen, my best friend. Did you forget?" I shot back immediately. Climbing off the bed, I strode over to Dylan and snatched my phone from his hand. "Or do you think I'm just like you?"Dylan clicked his tongue. Maybe my words had struck a nerve."I remember," he replied in an especially hoarse voice. He coughed before sitting on the edge of the bed and wiping the sweat from his face.Even sick, he still had enough energy to accuse me of all sorts of things, even though he knew Vallen and I had been friends since childhood.I checked my phone and noticed a small crack on the screen."But..." he said.He paused for a moment, staring at me. "...there's no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman."One of my eyebrows arched. "What are you trying to say? You think I like Vallen?""Not you. Vallen," he accused again.My mouth fell open before I could stop it. I almost laughed. Instinctively, I brushed my bangs away from my face."There's no way Vallen likes me, Dylan.""Tc

12. Her Smile, His Problem

DYLANThe cold compress Anna had placed on my forehead had already dried out, but strangely enough, it had managed to bring my fever down. I had finished the porridge she made for me, along with the medicine for my headache.Slowly, I sat up in bed. I was feeling well enough to attend the party tonight. At the very least, I had to show up as the company's primary heir and newly appointed leader in front of all our business associates.My gaze drifted to the nightstand, landing on Anna's handkerchief. I clicked my tongue in annoyance as I remembered her attitude. She was a lot bolder than I had imagined. Like a little kitten finally daring to show its claws to an enemy.Without realizing it, the corner of my mouth lifted.When a servant opened the bedroom door and informed me that the party would begin in an hour, I reluctantly got out of bed."I'll be downstairs in thirty minutes.""Do you need any assistance, Young Master?" the servant asked.I shook my head.The young woman closed t

13. Public Humiliation

My steps came to an abrupt halt when I saw Vallen staring at me from across the room.His gaze was like a drawn blade, poised to strike. As if warning me not to come any closer. Every so often, he would respond to something Anna said before shifting his eyes back to me.One of his thick brows arched, silently questioning what business I had approaching them.I let out a scoff at his unfriendly attitude. I always thought doctors were supposed to be approachable with everyone. Apparently, Vallen was the exception. He carried an air of hostility, at least when it came to me.My eyes widened when Anna turned around after receiving some sort of signal from Vallen.Damn that man.“Dylan?” Anna’s voice was gentle, touched with disbelief. “Do you need something?”I stepped beside her and rested a hand on the curve of her waist. Vallen’s eyes followed the movement before he deliberately looked away.He clearly didn’t like it.“I need to introduce you to my business associates.”Vallen clicked

14. Unforgivable Words

“Damn it!” I cursed at the cracked bathroom mirror.My hand trembled violently after punching it. Blood trickled from my knuckles, and my chest burned with rage. I raised my fist again, ready to smash the glass once more, when Anna’s half-shouted voice stopped me.I turned around.Anna rushed toward me and grabbed my bleeding hand. “Stop, Dylan! You’re hurt!” she scolded.My jaw tightened at the sight of her face.Hah. If this woman hadn't shown up at the party, maybe I wouldn't have had to endure all those sneers and insults.I shrugged off her touch and shoved her against the bathroom wall.Her back hit the tile with a soft thud. Anna gasped, her eyes widening in fear as she stared at me. I boxed her in with both arms.“Stay out of it!” I snapped before slamming my fist into the wall beside her head, sending a sharp pain through my hand.Anna flinched. Her fingers clutched her dress while I lowered my head and stared into her pale face.“Happy now?” I demanded. “Happy seeing me humi

15. Why Do I Care?

Anna let out an amused huff and looked away.For a moment, I regretted this decision.Why was this sudden guilt making me look like some idiot begging for her forgiveness?Damn it. I truly didn't understand.My grip tightened when Anna looked back at me. She seemed to be seriously considering what I was offering.Yeah, it was strange.At first, I'd strongly refused her request. Now I was the one offering it.Slowly, I descended the stairs until I reached the landing and stopped directly in front of her. Our eyes met, and in that instant I noticed the redness beneath her eyes and the swelling in her eyelids.Because Anna remained silent, I assumed she was accepting my offer.When I reached up to touch her face, her pupils trembled. My palm brushed against her soft skin, still slightly damp, probably from crying.“You’re not answering? I’ll take that as a yes, Anna.”I gently tilted her chin upward and leaned closer.For several moments, I studied her face.Wasn’t this what she wanted?

16. Denial

"Are you still there?" I asked Erwin after the call connected."Yeah, what's up, Mr. Dylan?" Erwin sounded puzzled. The noise in the background told me he was still at the hospital.I glanced toward the door, worried Lea might still be lingering outside my room. If she found out I'd sent Erwin to keep tabs on Anna, she'd be furious.After making sure no one was around, I focused on the conversation again."What is Anna doing there?"Erwin lowered his voice. "I can't hear what they're talking about, but it looks like an ordinary visit."One of my brows arched. "What do you mean, an ordinary visit?""If you think Mrs. Anna is having an affair with Dr. Vallen, you're probably mistaken, Mr. Dylan."Erwin was painfully direct, and his words caught me completely off guard."What are you talking about? I don't..." I groaned in annoyance, rubbing my suddenly warm face. "Forget it. Just go back to the office and take care of the files on my desk.""Are you sure?" Erwin asked hesitantly. "You r

17. What Makes My Heart Race?

"Then go ahead and cheat on me with Vallen."Anna's face immediately went pale. She blinked repeatedly, trying to hold back her tears, but in the end they slipped down her flushed cheeks.I looked away, unwilling to be consumed by guilt again. Instinctively, I took a step back."Then do it with Vallen if that's what will make you happy.""Do you really think I'm that kind of person? I'm not like you, Dylan." Anna lowered her head, her fists clenched at her sides. "I'm not someone who would stain my own marriage," she said firmly.For a moment, I simply watched Anna sobbing in front of me. How many times had I made her cry like this? I used to think Anna was much stronger than this.The thought lingered for a second before I brushed it aside. Anna hadn't become weak. If anything, I figured her emotional state lately was because our divorce was drawing closer. Maybe she'd simply stopped staying silent the way she used to.My head nodded unconsciously."Oh." The response came out short,

18. The Way She Smiled

"Done talking to your boyfriend?" I taunted when Anna climbed back into the car after finishing her call with Vallen.She only shot me a brief glance before fastening her seatbelt. She ignored my question entirely.On the drive to the amusement park, I noticed she barely spoke. Her grip on her phone tightened until the veins on her hand stood out beneath her skin. What was she thinking about that had her looking so tense?I cleared my throat, trying to ease the chilly atmosphere, but Anna still refused to acknowledge me, not even with a glance. She kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, completely unfazed.The way she was acting made me let out an irritated sigh.I turned the steering wheel and pulled into the spacious parking lot. The distant sounds of music and excited screams drifted through the air.It had been a long time since I'd come to a place like this. Ever since entering the corporate world, all I'd done was work, work, and work.Even when I was with Lea, it had never crossed

19. Just Not Attraction

"Dylan?" Anna's voice from behind startled me. "Did Lea call you?" she asked curiously.I slipped my phone into my pocket. "Yeah."Anna checked her phone. Her lips pressed into a thin line. Then she gave a small nod and smiled at me, her eyes curving into crescents."So it's already been an hour. That's okay, you can go." Her words caught me off guard."Then what about you?""I'll probably ask Vallen to keep me company," she said casually, but the words hit me square in the chest.As Anna walked away through the crowd, I watched her fiddle with her phone while heading toward the carousel she'd wanted to ride. I tilted my head back with a sigh.Damn it.Why didn't I like the thought of Vallen being with Anna?What right did I have to stop her from seeing that guy?Yeah, we were husband and wife. But...I clicked my tongue in irritation. Instead of leaving like Anna had told me to, I strode after her and snatched her phone from her hand.The screen showed Vallen's caller ID. So they'd a

20. A Night to Remember

Anna cleared her throat softly. Her head lowered as she hid the hand holding her phone behind her back. I watched every little movement carefully.Tilting my head, I studied her as she fumbled awkwardly in front of me. "Okay, whatever. What medicine is it... none of my business. So, what do you want to ride next?" I asked, changing the subject. No matter how hard I pushed, it seemed Anna had no intention of telling me.Yeah, maybe it was just vitamins. She had looked pale lately, and Vallen had probably prescribed them.Stop thinking about it, Dylan. You're only putting yourself in an awkward position if you keep wondering. Remember the saying, curiosity killed the cat. Better to let it go.Once she realized I wasn't interested in the medicine anymore, the dimness in Anna's eyes gradually disappeared. She straightened her back and pointed toward the Pirate Ship Ride before gesturing at the roller coaster currently in motion.Just two rides, yet my whole body immediately went cold.Dam
