Chapter 1

My smile froze. "What did you say?"Ten years from now, weren't Aiden and I supposed to be happy together? Why would I need to leave him now?And what about my application? I had already submitted it. I was going north with Aiden. He would study medicine, while I would study literature at the university next door.He had said he couldn't stop worrying about me and had begged me to apply to the school closest to his. So why would I give that up?I wanted to ask more, but in the blink of an eye, the woman in front of me vanished into thin air.I stepped forward in disbelief and searched for her, but then Aiden called out to me, "Why are you out here on the deck by yourself? Come eat with me."I looked around, but the woman was nowhere in sight. I pushed the thought aside for now and followed Aiden."By the way, you haven't changed your application again these past few days, have you?"My steps faltered."No," I signed as I looked at him. "Why do you ask?"He smiled and ruffled

Night had fallen, but Uncle Hubert replied almost immediately. He was overjoyed and went on and on about how my father and stepmother would only hold me back. If I was willing to go abroad, he insisted, I would surely have a better life.But as I stared at the screen, a needling pain spread through my chest, sharp and unrelenting.Of course I had not stayed here for them. So why had I stayed?I gazed at the sea beyond the window, lost in a haze of pain. There was only one person I could not let go of.So why was he entangled with Dawn?The familiar voice broke the silence. "It's not your fault."My future self sat on the edge of the bed, hazy as a patch of moonlight. "It's his heart. It was never steady. Not once."I stared blankly at "her."Never?Aiden and I had known each other for more than 10 years. He had moved in next door when he was six. His father was violent and beat him every single day.My mother had taken pity on him. She often invited him over for meals, bandag

In the shadows, Dawn tilted her face up, her voice forlorn. "Aiden, was I just trying to be too clever? Maybe she really doesn't like the gift."After all, that's why she couldn't speak in the first place, isn't it? She saw Ms. Alice's body, and it triggered something in her mind..."I couldn't bear to hear my mother's name on her lips. I rushed forward and slapped her hard."Dawn!" Aiden shoved me to the ground and pulled Dawn into his arms. "Vesper, what the hell are you doing?"Fighting through the pain, I pushed myself to my feet and signed, "Aiden, if you already knew, why didn't you call the police?"Aiden's expression changed abruptly, but he quickly composed himself, his eyes turning cold. "Because she's only 18. She's so young, and she has depression. How could she go to prison?""But my mother had severe depression too when she died, and she was only 45!"I collapsed to my knees in agony. My hands flailed helplessly as I tried to scream, but I couldn't make a single so

Five days later, the cruise ship arrived at port and docked.Throughout those five days, Aiden and I did not exchange a single word. It was not until the day we disembarked that he bought me a bouquet in an attempt to make peace."I was too rash that day. I'm sorry."The words were an apology, but his expression remained perfectly at ease.He had always thought I was easy to coax. In his mind, the smallest gesture was enough to ensure I would never stay angry with him for long.I looked down at the flowers in my hands and smiled faintly: lilies.They were Dawn's favorite flowers, and I was allergic to their pollen.Without a second thought, I tossed the bouquet into a nearby trash can.Aiden's face darkened, but before he could say anything, tears suddenly spilled down my cheeks.My gaze had fallen on a little girl nearby who was selling flowers, and I began to cry."What's wrong?" Aiden immediately panicked. "If you don't like them, that's fine. I'll just buy you another bou

Chapter 5

The man in front of Aiden stepped closer, his voice low and rough. "Who am I? You don't recognize me?"Aiden had nowhere left to retreat, yet he still couldn't believe his eyes."I'm you, ten years from now." The other Aiden let out a cold laugh. "Don't bother looking for her. She's never coming back. She finally gets to leave. Good for her.""What the hell are you talking about? What are you?!" Aiden reached for him as though trying to grab a ghost, but his hand passed straight through empty air.He spun around. There was no one behind him either."A hallucination?" he muttered, but the panic tightening his chest only grew worse.It wasn't the sudden apparition, whether ghost or man, wearing his own face that frightened him most. It was the fact that every call to Vesper went unanswered.She had blocked his number.Aiden had never felt so helpless or out of control. He forced himself to steady his breathing, flagged down a taxi, and prepared to head for the airport.Then Dawn

Aiden stared at the white pills on the counter in disbelief, feeling as though someone had slapped him out of nowhere."How could this be? How could this be..." Even after leaving the pharmacy, he wandered in a daze, like a man who had lost his soul, muttering under his breath. "I saw her episodes with my own eyes. That medical record...""She made all of it up to fool you." Future Aiden appeared again, his tone devoid of emotion. "All she had to do was cry a little and play the victim a few times, and you believed every word.""What about Vesper?""Aiden, you got tangled up with the one person she hates most in this world, and you hid it from her for years."She loved you that much. She trusted you with everything she had. And what did you do? You even brought Dawn along on your graduation trip behind her back."She was foolish enough to think she'd finally found happiness. All the while, she had no idea what you were doing in that room with Dawn every single night!""I didn't

Chapter 7

Aiden's heart sank. He pressed on with question after question."She already submitted her application. How could she not come back?"Elvin glared at him, irritation written all over his face. "Huh? What's the application got to do with anything? You think there aren't universities abroad?"That uncle of hers has been pushing her to study overseas every other day. She must've applied to some school over there. She's leaving for good!"Tch. Let her go. Her uncle can pay every cent of her tuition. She's not getting a single dollar out of me!"Elvin went on grumbling and cursing, with no sign that he would stop anytime soon.However, Aiden could no longer hear him. He staggered backward, barely able to breathe through the pain.Vesper really was leaving. No. She was already gone."Going to look for her?" That familiar voice sounded behind him again and followed his hurried footsteps. "And then what? Hurt her all over again once you find her?""Shut up!" Aiden whirled around and d

Chapter 8

Summer passed quickly. By September, I had arrived at a prestigious university abroad, completed my registration, and begun a new life.For two full months, I heard nothing from Aiden. He seemed to vanish from my life like chalk wiped from a blackboard, gone without a trace.And that was exactly what I wanted.Uncle Hubert came to pick me up the moment I landed. He had already arranged an apartment for me and taken care of everything else.I changed my phone number. Aside from a few close friends back home, I deleted every contact from my old life, including every last relative from the Monroe family.My worthless excuse for a father never reached out to me either. Not until a month after the semester began did I finally receive a call from him.He opened with a sharp, relentless interrogation. "Vesper, your sister's being sued by that little psycho Aiden. Get back here and help her, now!"I let out a cold laugh. "First, she's not my sister. Second, I've already made myself clea

Chapter 9

It was the first time I had seen Aiden since we parted ways on the cruise four years ago. He had lost a great deal of weight. His eyes were sunken, worn down by something heavy and enduring.He sat across from me with his head bowed, unable to keep still. "I'm sorry. Am I interrupting?"I met his eyes calmly. "Not at all. We were about to head out anyway. Was there something you wanted to say to me, Mr. Tyson?"The moment those words left my mouth, his shoulders sagged.His lips trembled as if a thousand words were fighting to get out, but in the end, only three escaped. "I am sorry."I smiled faintly. "You've already said those words to me hundreds of times in those letters."Aiden looked up, his breath unsteady. "Then have you...""I don't forgive you," I said calmly. "Mr. Tyson, no one forgives the person who destroyed their life. Not even when given a second chance. Not ever."Aiden covered his face with both hands and gasped like a fish out of water. "I know. But I still n
