I didn’t want to meet him. What could a cheater like him possibly have to say to me again? For the past two days, he had been pestering me, constantly asking to see me. I rejected every single offer until he mentioned the one thing I couldn’t ignore. My money. The huge amount I owed him. The moment he said he would bring it back, I agreed. Fine. Let me get my money and cut ties with him forever. As much as I hated him, I loved my money. I even laughed at myself a little. How on earth had I ended up dating a man who could borrow money from me? The irony was almost embarrassing. So I sat there in the café, waiting. And waiting. When he finally arrived, I immediately suspected he had done it on purpose. He wanted to make an entrance. A flashy car pulled up outside, and Henry stepped out, trying desperately to look cool. But all I saw was the confidence of a cockroach. He walked toward me with sunglasses on, pretending to be some untouchable man, but he didn’t have the presen

Had I really cooked my best meal… for another woman?I sighed, forcing myself to bury the ache in my chest as Bella and I carried the dishes back to the dining table.Marcus was smiling.Not the polite smile he usually wore.He looked relaxed… comfortable… genuinely happy.Something about it hurt more than I wanted to admit.Bella and I finished serving everyone. I suddenly had no appetite.“I’ll leave you guys to eat,” I muttered, turning away.“Ella.”Marcus’s voice stopped me.It was the first time he had spoken to me all day.My heart betrayed me instantly, pounding so hard I was sure everyone could hear it.I slowly turned around.“Where are you going?” he asked gently.“I… um…”The words refused to come out.“Sit with us,” he said. “Let’s eat together.”My lips almost curved into a smile.I quickly took my seat, feeling strangely relieved.Maybe I had been overthinking everything.But before I could even take another bite…“Uh… Ella?”Maya looked directly at me.I paused, my for

I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep.All I knew was that I slept deeply… almost too deeply.That day had drained every bit of energy from me.When I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was Bella.She was wrapped around me, holding onto me like I was a pillow.I blinked in confusion.How tired was I?Tired enough that I didn’t even hear her come in?I looked toward the door.Was Maya back too?I secretly hoped she wasn’t.Because if she was…Life in this house was about to become even harder.I sighed and carefully untangled myself from Bella before getting up to freshen up.When I returned to the room, Bella was awake and looking at me.“Good morning, princess.”I forced a small smile.“Good morning.”She tilted her head, studying my face.“Why do you look so dull?”I frowned.“What?”“Since yesterday,” she continued. “At dinner, you barely talked. And when I came to sleep, you looked sad too.”She sat up.“Is it because I left you alone to wash the dishes?”Before

He slowly raised his hand. I looked up at him, my tears refusing to stop. Without hesitation, I placed my trembling hand in his, and he gently pulled me up from the ground. I was still crying, my clothes completely soaked from the rain. Before I could even think, I wrapped my arms around him. My wet body pressed against the solid wall of his chest, and my sobs grew louder as the rain continued pouring around us. He didn’t hug me back, but I felt his hand gently patting my back. “It’s okay,” he murmured softly. “It’s okay… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have triggered you.” I let out a shaky sigh. It wasn’t his fault. Not at all. In fact, I didn’t even know why I was making him stand there in the rain with me, soaking him in the process. My crying slowly came to a stop, and I pulled away from him. “I’m sorry, sir,” I whispered, rubbing my swollen eyes. “I got you all wet.” He sighed softly before resting a comforting hand on my shoulder. Without another word, he led me into the house.

I went to his study room with my books and sat on the chair opposite his desk. It had already been twenty minutes since I entered, and since I hadn’t brought my phone with me, I was starting to get bored. I decided to walk around the study room instead. It was filled with newspapers, books, certificates, and trophies. I couldn’t help but feel impressed. Marcus was clearly a very intelligent man because even his office at the university was decorated with awards and achievements.As I continued looking around, I accidentally bumped into one of the shelves, causing a few newspapers to fall onto the floor. I quickly bent down to pick them up, but the moment my eyes landed on one of the front pages, I froze in disbelief.It was my father.The newspaper was covering the accident that had taken his life. I hadn’t even known it had made the news. The headline, the picture… everything came rushing back at once, and I felt a sharp wave of grief wrap around my heart.Before I could collect myse
