The First Guy asks out of nowhere, and I’m suddenly dragged back to the present. I turn my head toward the ceiling. “About what, sir?” “About us.” My lips twitch, not quite a smile. “Enough to know you don’t like questions returned, sir.” “Someone is uncomfortable,” Thirst Trap finally speaks, and I’m totally in love with his voice. “What did you find before you ran?”

“At least try, Jane. Even if you can’t be my girlfriend right now, at least give yourself a chance to accept and embrace happiness. “You can’t live in your own memories from the past or in your own tiny world forever. “Wipe him out of your memory, Jane. No matter what kind of past and memories you share with him, I firmly believe that those unhappy memories will be replaced by the blissful memories that you and I will share. They’ll fill your heart to the brim.” For a moment, Jane Dunn was moved… Happiness? Who could bring themselves to refuse it? Jane Dunn was entranced by that beautiful word. “Okay…” She was just about to say ‘okay’ when she suddenly became clear-headed. “No.” Happiness. W

I didn’t care about his reaction as having this conversation with them was quite exhausting. I stepped into my Audi A4 sedan that was parked outside the mansion, and took a deep breath, before driving out of the mansion’s gates. My name is Tristan Ford, and I am the CEO of a business company named Titancorp. One might think having money and fame is what brings happiness, but I have a different opinion. My happiness lies with someone, and that person died two years ago in a fatal car accident. That person was my wife, Lyla Ford. Since then, my happiness has gone and never to be found. Despite being alive, I can’t help but wonder if I’m awake or still in this dream… a dream called life.

my voice caught, “—I need you to be happy without apology. I can feel you already building the perimeter. Build it. But do not let the perimeter become the only thing this is.” Tristan crossed to me, dropped his forehead to my shoulder, and breathed there for a long count of time. “I am happy,” he said into my skin, fierce and quiet. “I am so happy it is bordering on unmanageable. I am also the man who has watched this territory try to take you from me with silver, with law, with blades, with every clever hunger it could invent. That man does not retire because the medic said viable. He just acquires a new center of gravity.” He lifted his head. “I will try not to make you fragile. You will

“But I would like to have another pup, a lots of pups actually.” Tristan kissed her lightly and said. “In this case we have a plan. Let’s make these pups. Let’s be happy , princess!” . . “Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” Jim Rohn

When Dimitri found me years ago, he told me something I’ll never forget: “We don’t get happy endings, cousin. We get power. If you’re lucky, you die before the power eats you alive.” At the time, I laughed. Thought he was exaggerating. But now? I understand. Because happiness isn’t for people like us—it’s a liability. Still… when she looked at me tonight, when her voice cracked asking why I’d been avoiding her, something inside me shifted.

For the first time that night, he took off his earbud, smiling as he ruffled my hair. "Aleah, thanks for being so understanding. Things are different now. A marriage certificate doesn't mean much. We should stand our ground, not give in just because your grandpa wants us to get married. Besides, aren't we happy like this?" Layne's voice was gentle, but it cut through me like a blade. Two years ago, Ruby's parents were abducted and killed after saving the Harper family. Since then, she'd developed severe separation anxiety. That was when she quietly started becoming a constant presence in our lives.

On the high-speed train home, the scenery outside passed by in fragments, but I could not focus on any of it. Shanine slept soundly on my shoulder. She had drunk too much the night before and had been rushed onto the train early this morning, leaving her half-dazed. Her hair brushed my neck, carrying the familiar scent of her shampoo. Yet, my heart felt strangely quiet. Almost empty. That happiness had arrived too fiercely, and it had disappeared just as quickly. Phoebe sat across from us, wearing headphones and scrolling through her phone. Occasionally, she looked up, our eyes meeting briefly before she quickly looked away again, as if nothing had ever happened.
