LOGINWindyDuring the drive, I finally told Diana everything I'd been feeling about the harassment I'd been receiving.Worry filled her eyes as she held my hand the entire time, doing her best to comfort me.She really was a good friend—someone who listened to everything I had to say—and I was grateful for that."Don't worry. I'm sure Tucker will find whoever's behind this soon."I let out a slow breath and gently shook my head."But I'm scared that he might be lying to me." I lowered my gaze for a moment before looking back at Diana. "I mean... what if he really did sleep with another woman? Do you know anything about that, Diana?"Diana shook her head."Honestly, Miles has always said Tucker likes the easy life, especially partying. But he doesn't know whether Tucker slept with every woman he dated or not."I fell silent.I couldn't blame Diana for saying that because I knew she was right. Miles had never been the type to involve himself in other people's personal lives. He simply didn't
WindyI honestly hadn't expected him to say something like that, but I didn't want to respond to it, so I simply rolled my eyes.Even though Kael was acting relaxed now and seemed capable of being a good friend, I didn't want things to become complicated by failing to set clear boundaries with him."I'll help you find out who's behind this," he said again.I fell silent before shaking my head."No. I want to trust Tucker with this."He would probably sulk again if he found out Kael was helping me. More importantly, I wanted to entrust everything to Tucker. As long as it was something he could handle, he would.A little while later, I left the café to head back to my store, but Kael followed me.Once we were outside, he glanced around."Is Tucker picking you up?""No. I walked here."I'd already told him that, yet he still stared at me with his mouth slightly open, as if he couldn't believe what I'd said."Yes," I repeated. "I walked.""There was nothing unusual about what I'd said, bu
WindyHonestly, something like this was enough to give me a headache. It felt like a deliberate act of intimidation.After Tucker and I received the package containing a pair of baby shoes, we immediately checked the CCTV footage. A large figure dressed entirely in black had left it at our doorstep.We couldn't identify who the person was, but one thing was certain—it wasn't something pleasant.I couldn't stop thinking about it. Tucker had plenty of enemies, and there were also women who hated me simply because they wanted him.I mean, yeah, our relationship was surrounded by obstacles from every direction.Tucker had been investigating the incident, but he still hadn't found any answers.As for me, I pretended it didn't affect me at all. I went on with my days as usual, smiling and acting affectionate with Tucker."Fuck. It hurts so much."The moment the words left my mouth, I realized the employees in my store were staring at me. Grace immediately hurried over with a worried sigh.H
WindyI frowned, feeling a little annoyed with him."Are you seriously pretending you don't know?"He still looked completely confused.I immediately unlocked his phone—he never even bothered to put a passcode on it—and held up the message for him to see."Look. Read what she wrote." I fixed him with a sharp stare. "She said she misses you. Damn it!"I was getting irritated far too easily.Maybe it was because I was exhausted.But Tucker remained calm.He smiled as he gently took my hand."I really don't know anything about this."I glanced back at his phone. The woman's number wasn't even saved in his contacts, yet that still wasn't enough to reassure me."Maybe you did that on purpose."He pulled me into his arms."How else would she know you came back today? Maybe the two of you have been secretly keeping each other updated."He let out a slow breath before speaking in a calm, soothing voice."I honestly don't know how she found out I came home today, but I truly have no idea who s
WindyThis place was absolutely packed with people.Just looking ahead—or even to either side—made me let out a long breath.But I wanted to be here, so I wasn't about to give up.Tucker tightened his grip around my hand. Then he leaned close, his lips near my ear as he whispered in a low voice,"Do you want me to carry you?" I immediately looked up at him in surprise."Ah, no. I can walk."It wasn't that I doubted he could carry me—he absolutely could.I just didn't want to make things harder for Tucker. I didn't want him to shoulder all the burden by himself.Tucker smiled at me, as if he could read exactly what I was thinking. Even though he didn't carry me, he made sure no one got too close to me. Crowds really could feel suffocating.Eventually, we found a great spot. I let out a relieved sigh as my tired body finally relaxed."Sit down."I obediently followed Tucker's instruction and took a seat. We were in front of a bustling café, right along the route where the festival parad
WindyEven though it was already midday, the sunlight here wasn't as bright as it was back in the city where I lived.The air was wonderfully cool, and I hurried outside to find my mom. She was already in the garden she had cultivated herself, a cup of coffee in her hand.As she sipped her coffee, she scrolled through her phone, a faint smile playing on her lips.I walked over to her. It wasn't until I was standing right beside her that she noticed me."Did you sleep well, Windy?" she asked, lowering her phone.Her gentle smile made me feel incredibly grateful that I had come here. It also filled me with happiness.The truth was, I had rarely been apart from Mom. Ever since I was little, I had always followed her around and relied on her.So when she left to travel on her own, I had felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness and loss.Maybe that was why Tucker loved teasing me so much."Yes, I slept really well, Mom. I'm on vacation now, so I'm just enjoying my time."She seemed genuine
CassandraI was still far from calm. Even though I had finally made it home and escaped from him, I remained in the car. As if struck by a heart attack, I couldn’t move.Dylan, sitting beside me, said nothing. He allowed me the space to steady myself and endure it. He had been silent for a long tim
CassandraDylan wanted me to stay calm. He had done something I never would have thought of, since I had such overwhelming worries about Miles.The fear of making mistakes and being unable to do anything.I overheard his serious conversation at that time, which left me both surprised and relieved.
CassandraI sat in that room as if trapped in a field of absolute frost. My head felt so heavy that I could only keep it bowed down.Every part of my body screamed at the knowledge that man’s sharp gaze was fixed on me. Perhaps he wished to crush me the same way he had done before.Those sharp, col
SebastianI sit on the sofa that used to be her favorite spot.Funnily enough, over the past few years, this sofa has become my favorite place too. Whenever I return home, sitting here brings back memories of her over and over again.I still can’t believe how much she lingers in my memory. In a way,
