로그인MilesA message had just come through on my phone, and there was no way I could ignore it.For God's sake. I was seriously going to kill him.He never said things like this. He was usually the laid-back type—the kind of guy who could be incredibly irritating to me.That was exactly why I was worried, especially since I often heard about the things happening around him. Yeah, that was also why my name kept getting dragged into the spotlight. The two of us had become famous as the pair who were always causing trouble.The media was just being ridiculously dramatic and annoying.I immediately called him. As soon as he answered, I raised my voice."Damn it! Don't do anything you'll regret later. Stay right there—I'm bringing you a beer."He let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead. After a moment, I saw him nod.About ten minutes later, I arrived at his office. Luckily, I had already been nearby when he called.As I walked into his office, I found him leaning back in his chair, staring
CassandraI went to visit an old friend of mine. It had been quite a while since we'd last seen each other because, aside from being busy with work, I'd also been helping Diana take care of her baby.Ah, it wasn't a burden at all. I actually loved doing it because Amanda was absolutely adorable. I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it."You look exhausted, Erica."Erica smiled as she continued rubbing her forehead. She looked older now, just like I did, and it was clear she wasn't in the mood for any arguments.The weary sigh that escaped her lips made me feel concerned, so I sat down beside her."I heard everything from Miles."Erica finally raised both hands, her expression saying, Yeah, you've probably heard it. Everyone probably has, without a single word leaving her mouth.She leaned back against the sofa again. As I glanced around the house, which felt unusually empty, I asked,"Hm, Tucker isn't home?""Yeah. He's taking care of that guy." She leaned forward. "Honestly, our son's
WindyWhat weighed heavily on my chest was guilt. Everything felt unbearably heavy.Tucker wasn't wrong. I really did need to think about myself.And I also realized that I had fallen into the habit of constantly blaming myself for everything that had happened. When Tucker threatened to jump, I was terrified.The thought of seeing him lying lifeless on the ground was horrifying.It truly would have been a nightmare.So I decided to do as he said.He promised he would take me to see Kael when the time was right. There were far too many reporters gathered around the hospital, all hoping to get a story about the two of us.I remained restless, wondering when the right time would be to visit without disturbing Kael while he rested.Throughout my stay at the hospital under Tucker's watch, he treated me with great care, though he remained just as strict.I thought I wouldn't get to see Kael at all that day. But that night, Tucker finally walked into the room."Come on. I'll take you to see
TuckerThe atmosphere that day was absolute chaos.The situation became even more chaotic after news spread that Windy was Kael's fiancée. Everyone was questioning why she hadn't appeared when Kael was in such a critical condition.I had already investigated what had happened. This wasn't just an ordinary accident. That man had deliberately thrown himself into the collision to injure himself.And the reason?Simply to force Windy to show up.He was completely insane.I looked around at the chaos caused by his reckless stunt. His family had finally arrived, but they were only doing what was necessary—just enough to stop the reporters from publishing more negative stories about them.I let out a long sigh.It was incredibly difficult to start this conversation, especially since the sharp glare she had been giving me all this time was anything but reassuring.Yes, Windy had finally been caught. Fifteen minutes ago, she had completely lost her temper, shouting and hurling insults at me wi
Tucker“You really aren’t angry with my son?”My footsteps immediately stopped when I heard my mom’s voice. I only wanted to listen for a moment to what she was saying.“Maybe this is better.” Aunt Emma’s voice sounded so weak.From a distance, I could see her letting out a breath until her shoulders lowered.I wouldn’t have met them if I hadn’t needed to go out—to deliver Windy’s sketchbook to Grace. After that, they contacted me, so I came here right away.During these past two weeks, even though Windy seemed fine and calm, I still hadn’t allowed her to leave. She might slip away from me and make a mistake.Yeah, even now, I still believed that she loved me.“Because I’m sick, Windy sacrificed too much for me, and in the end, it made me feel guilty toward her.” Once again, Aunt Emma let out a long sigh. “It’s hard for me to argue with her, and maybe because of what Tucker did, it might actually save her.”My mom held Aunt Emma’s hand.“But… he could make a mistake. Tucker… I’m afrai
WindyHave you ever been kidnapped, yet somehow felt lighter than before?Even the inspiration I once thought had disappeared started coming back so easily after I had stayed here for two weeks.At first, I was genuinely angry at Tucker for doing things his own way. I thought he was extremely rude, completely heartless, and that he was only doing this because he wanted to bother me.Yeah, maybe almost everyone in my position right now would think Tucker just wanted to prove how capable he was of disrupting my world.Maybe because we’ve known each other since childhood, the kind of disturbance that grows up alongside you starts to feel strange once it’s gone, right?That was how I saw Tucker.It’s just that now, maybe I’m the one who’s gone crazy, because little by little I’ve started thinking that living here isn’t so bad. I can sleep peacefully, and it makes my body feel calmer.Yes, that’s right. I can relax more.“I’ll send it to Grace.” Tucker held out his hand and raised an eyebr
CassandraTo carry out this meeting, I really had to think calmly and not rush myself. Even contacting him was something I wanted to avoid as much as possible, but this time I wanted to say something to him.“Sorry for arriving a little late.”Five minutes had indeed passed. He was polite enough to
SebastianI was carrying out a secret mission that Cassandra must not know about.That was why today I began those secret lessons after Cassandra had left for work.I looked at Genna, who was carefully preparing everything, while I made sure the apron I was wearing was properly tied.“So, what are
SebastianI try to always be patient when dealing with Cassandra. I no longer want to hurt her again just to have her.Losing her was something incredibly heavy for me. Because of the foolish things I did in the past, I nearly killed her.Ah… this time, I want to win her back in a good way. But you
CassandraWas there anything more shocking than what he had just said? I couldn’t say anything in response to such a bold confession.A stalker? I was actually very uncomfortable with that word—it felt as though I had never truly had any freedom.Honestly, I knew that the many times he had run into
