MasukWindyA loud ringing filled my ears.It was so overwhelming that my knees nearly gave out, and I almost collapsed onto the street."Windy!"Tucker caught me before I could fall, but it did nothing to ease the shock coursing through me. I stared at him in disbelief.This couldn't be happening.This wasn't what he had told me.Yet here stood a woman in front of us, holding a child in her arms.Unable to bear looking at them any longer, I turned my gaze away."Miss, stop talking nonsense!" Tucker snapped. "I don't even know you!"His voice was loud, filled with unmistakable anger."We slept together. Have you forgotten, Tucker?" the woman shot back just as loudly.A surge of anger welled up inside me. I forced myself to move, pulling away from Tucker's grasp as I fixed a cold stare on both of them."I have never slept with any woman!" Tucker shouted. The veins in his neck stood out so clearly that I could see them from where I stood.As far as I knew, he was telling the truth.I had been
WindyJust when things had finally begun to feel peaceful, another letter arrived.This time, it was just like the emails I'd been receiving—filled with words that made my stomach twist with unease.Grace said she had no idea who had delivered it. The letter had already been lying in front of the store's entrance when she unlocked the door that morning."Tucker..."I called his name softly as I reached for his hand."I'll catch them soon, Windy. Please... stay calm."Tucker's voice was gentle, but I could feel the intense anger simmering beneath it.A person's obsession with destroying someone else's life—or taking what was never theirs—could drive them to do terrible things.I hated whoever was behind this.Even as I struggled to stay calm, I found myself remembering what I had almost done in the past.Yes, I had nearly become someone like them—someone willing to do anything to win Miles.But I had come to my senses before it was too late.So this...This shouldn't be happening to me
TuckerI was just as anxious about what was happening to Windy.Whoever was behind the harassment clearly wanted to drive us apart.It was insane.And I wasn't going to let that happen.At first, I suspected Kael. That's why I had him investigated. But the man came up completely clean. He wasn't responsible for the harassment that had been tormenting Windy.I also assigned people to protect her. After what had happened to Diana, I couldn't allow something like that to happen again.I rubbed my tired eyes.I'd spent far too many hours staring at my laptop screen. The work still wasn't finished, and my anxiety only kept growing.More than anything, I wanted to see Windy as soon as possible. But until I finished this project, I couldn't leave to be with her.Windy knew how hard I was working. She was incredibly understanding.So, despite my exhaustion, I kept working, holding onto a single thought:Once I finished, I'd go straight to Windy.Two days later, I finally got to see her again.
WindyDuring 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
DylanI looked at the bandage on my hand, letting out a slow breath. The injuries from the car accident were unavoidable. At that time, I truly felt like I was about to kill myself, trying to feel a little more free.As I glanced to the side, the man sitting next to me was typing on his phone using
CassandraAh, I truly didn’t expect what just happened. Dylan proposed to me…The entire room fell silent. Everyone was staring at me, waiting to see my response to this utterly shocking proposal. He had done it so boldly, right in front of all these important people.I took a deep breath, trying t
Sebastian“How does it feel to see her get engaged?”I adjusted my sitting position after hearing Grandpa’s unpleasant question. My reason for coming here wasn’t to listen to that, to words meant to make me suffer and reflect. With my body feeling uncomfortable, I glanced back at him.He kept his e
CassandraAround me, it was quite noisy with the activities of the servants and Ellen, who was meticulously arranging the breakfast we were about to have.Today, I actually felt quite excited, but it was a bit different because Sebastian was sitting across from me to enjoy breakfast together.This
