“Justin, I carried you to your room last night. Don’t tell me you got up and went looking for Emma again? Did you two actually…?” Zac didn’t press for details, but the implication was clear. Justin rubbed his aching temples. He hadn’t slept well, plagued by nightmares of Emily discovering his night with Emma and vanishing from his life forever. “How do you know?” His voice was heavy with fatigue. “Dude, you two got photographed leaving the hotel together. The headlines are all about your scandal. Everyone knows you and Emma spent the night at the hotel!” Justin’s eyes immediately sharpened, all traces of exhaustion gone. He hung up and searched for the entertainment news. Sure enough, his name dominated the top headlines. The more he scrolled, the darker his expression grew. He glanced at the time. Hopefully, Emily was still asleep and hadn’t seen it yet. “Sam, come to my office,” he said in a low voice. Sam arrived quickly. “Yes, Mr. Yates. What can I do for you?”

Sam pulled his sleeve free from Zoe’s grip and said sternly, “No gossiping during work hours, or I’ll dock your pay.”“Come on, don’t do that! Making money isn’t easy!” Zoe whined, pouting playfully.*Emma entered Justin’s office, placing the documents on his desk. “Justin, these are from the sales director. He asked me to pass them to you.”“Okay.” Justin took the documents and set them aside without even glancing at them.Emma pulled up a chair and sat across from him, her tone soft with concern. “Justin, is something bothering you? You look upset. If you’re dealing with something tough at work, you can talk to me.”She added gently, “I may not know if I can help, but at least I can listen and ease your worries.”Her gentle, considerate demeanor and the fact that she was his lifesaver made her the perfect candidate for a wife—or so he had thought.Justin stared at her for a long moment. “It’s good that you’re here. I need to talk to you,” he said.“What is it? You can ju

When Emma heard Justin’s answer, her face turned pale. Forcing a bitter smile, she said, “As long as you’re happy, Justin, that’s all that matters to me. I don’t care about anything else.”She hesitated before adding, “But… can I still stay at RC Corporation and keep working here?”Justin nodded firmly. “As long as I’m here, this place will always be your home.”“Thank you, Justin,” she whispered before lowering her head and leaving his office as if fleeing.After Emma left, Justin instructed Sam to transfer a hundred million to her account. It was his way of compensating her for the night before and easing his guilt for hurting her.With everything finally out in the open, Justin felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He returned to his usual self, even catching himself smiling whenever thoughts of Emily crossed his mind. He also realized why he had always disliked Sean. *The secretarial team noticed the sudden improvement in Justin’s mood after Emma’s visit. Grateful, they

Justin thought to himself as he stepped into the house. Mrs. Zimmer was in the kitchen directing the staff in preparing dinner, while Emily was outside in the small garden, turning off the sprinkler she had been using to water the lawn. Once the watering was done, she headed to the bathroom to wash her hands before dinner. Finding she still had some time, she sat on the couch and started scrolling through her phone. A new email stood out in her inbox. Emily clicked it open and immediately frowned, her face twisting in disgust. The email contained explicit photos of Justin and Emma in bed. The images were vile and unbearable to look at. After just a glance, Emily deleted the email in disgust. “Disgusting!” she thought, her stomach churning. She didn’t need to guess who had sent it. Other than Emma, no one else would have known her email address, let alone sent something so malicious. The sound of the door unlocking interrupted her thoughts. Justin had returned ho

That checkup had been a long time ago. Emily knew Justin wouldn’t want this child. Rather than let him arrange for her to be forced into a termination, she would handle it on her own. She hated being controlled or coerced. “Let’s eat first,” Justin said as he pulled out a chair for her before sitting down beside her. Emily was surprised. In the past, whenever Emma’s name came up, it would inevitably lead to an argument. But today, he seemed oddly calm. She didn’t dwell on it. Perhaps because she had just thrown up, her appetite wasn’t great, and she only picked at her food. *After dinner, Justin stood and casually said, “Move to the master bedroom tonight,” before heading to his study. Emily frowned. “I’m not feeling well tonight. I can’t deal with you right now. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Justin paused on the stairs, recalling the dream where she left him and disappeared from his life. The fear crept back, and his tone turned cold and commanding. “That’s an

At the RC Corporation, Emily followed Justin confidently into the exclusive CEO elevator, heading straight to the top floor. “Good morning, Mr. Yates!” “Good morning, sir!” Justin nodded in acknowledgment, his expression stoic, as he walked into his office. Naturally, Emily followed behind him. As soon as the door to the CEO’s office closed, the secretarial team started whispering among themselves. “Was that Emma walking in behind the CEO? She looked a little different, didn’t she?” “Yeah, I thought so too. Something was off.” By mid-morning, the rumor of the CEO bringing in a woman who resembled Emma had spread like wildfire throughout the company. Some said it was Emma, others said it wasn’t. When Emma heard about it, she blinked in surprise. “Justin brought Emily to the office?” she wondered.“Emily, you’re more cunning than I thought. Fine, let’s see whose tricks are better,” she thought to herself. *Justin quickly became swamped with meetings, leav

When Justin arrived, the atmosphere froze. After a brief silence, Emily responded indifferently, “We weren’t talking about anything important.” “Not something she wants me to know?” Justin wondered. “What could she discuss with Sam but not with me?”His gaze shifted to Sam, who awkwardly rubbed his nose before, for the first time, lying to the CEO. “Miss Yates and I were just talking about the drinks in the break room. She said they were really good.” “Really?” Justin’s lips curled into a faint smile, though his tone carried a trace of jealousy. “Perfect timing. I have a dinner event tonight. I’ll bring you along, and you can enjoy more drinks. Drink as much as you like.” Emily was speechless. *That afternoon, Emma knocked on the door of Justin’s office. “Come in,” Justin said. Emma entered, her gaze quickly scanning the room. Not seeing Emily, she swiftly hid her curiosity and walked over to Justin’s desk, handing him a file. “Justin, I’ve been learning a lo

“I didn’t mean to see anything. I was just passing by. Please step aside,” Emily said coldly. Jack chuckled slyly. “What’s the big deal? Come join us. I won’t tell Mr. Yates.” The secretary, apparently accustomed to situations like this, stepped aside to make room for Emily. Emily’s gaze hardened. “Mr. Griffin, since you know who I am, you should also know that I’m not someone you can mess with.” She glanced around, realizing her exit was blocked. With no other options, she brought up Justin.Jack let out a cold laugh. “The only person I wouldn’t dare touch is Emma. But you? Who do you think you are? From what I’ve heard, women in your position only care about money. Whatever Justin’s paying you, I’ll double it.”He smirked and thought smugly, “As long as I get her in bed, who cares about paying her? I could just record a compromising video and use it to keep her in line. Women are all the same in bed anyway. But since she’s someone Justin has been with, I’m curious to see w

Haley shook her head quickly, flustered. “No… I mean—no.” Then she realized how that sounded and corrected herself. “Actually, yes. I’m just hot.”Helen blinked in confusion. “Hot? The classroom has air conditioning. Was the sunlight from the window hitting her seat?” Helen wondered.Without missing a beat, she rushed over and tugged the curtains tighter, making sure her bestie didn’t get “sunburned.” She still needed Haley to hold onto that top spot. Otherwise, she would lose her excuse at home for going out to “study” with Zac.The pressure and tension of senior year finally came to a close. On the day of the college entrance exam, when everyone stepped out of the test hall for the last time, their faces lit up with genuine smiles—relaxed, free, and full of relief.Haley tossed aside her textbooks. Her summer break was filled with makeup shopping trips with Helen or third-wheeling her and Zac on their study-dates-turned-real-dates.That routine came to an end the d

Haley’s eyes shifted as she thought quickly. “But… I don’t really like guys who rank higher than me on exams.”She gave a light shrug and continued, “I mean, I think we should be focusing on school right now. Relationships can wait until after we get into college, right? What if we don’t even end up at the same school? Long-distance never works, and after a while, we’d probably drift apart. Don’t you think?”Was that a gentle rejection? It seemed like it. Haley wondered if she had been too blunt. Had she left him any dignity at all?They still had a whole year of high school left together. She didn’t want things to get awkward between them. A harsh rejection would only make everything more uncomfortable.Justin furrowed his brows, thinking for a long moment before giving a single reply. “Okay.”Then he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked off.Haley stood there, completely confused.“Okay? What did he mean by that?“Did he understand what I was trying to say?

Emma and her little clique of schoolyard mean girls had Justin completely surrounded.“I’ll ask you one more time,” she said, smug and unbothered. “Will you be my boyfriend or not?”“No,” Justin replied coldly, his face unreadable.“Hey!” one of Emma’s loyal followers stepped forward, cracking her knuckles and getting way too close. “Do you even know who our Emma is? She’s the heiress of the Xander Corporation. She’s giving you a chance, and you should be grateful. You better say yes.”“What, you want us to beat you up before you agree?” another girl sneered.Justin didn’t flinch. His icy stare locked onto the girl who spoke, completely unbothered by the threat.Emma waved a hand to hold her crew back, pretending to be generous. Then she turned to Justin again, cocky and bold.“I like you way too much to have anyone rough you up,” she said sweetly. “But I heard you’re trying to get into Altiplano University in the capital. Here’s the deal—if you go out with me, I’ll have my dad

As soon as Justin sat down and pulled out the textbook for the next class, a hand suddenly reached out from beside him.“Hey, I’m Zac White,” Zac said.Justin glanced up with a cold look, then went right back to pulling out his notebook and pen—completely ignoring the extended hand.Zac awkwardly pulled his hand back, speechless.“Man… this guy’s seriously cold. What a show-off,” he thought to himself.The class flew by. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Haley and Helen linked arms and headed off toward the bathroom. Zac immediately trailed after them.“Where are you two going? Take me with you.”“You planning on going into the girls’ bathroom, you perv?” Helen smacked his hand away, not wanting their classmates—or worse, their teacher—to get any ideas about the two of them dating.Zac scratched his nose. “Fine, I won’t go in the girls’ room… but I can go to the guys’ one, can’t I?”“Hmph!” Helen huffed, scrunching her nose playfully.Zac clutched his chest

At a top-ranked high school in Lincourt City, the bell rang.Students still lingering in the hallways or restrooms were urged to hurry back to class.Outside, the summer heat simmered, accompanied by the steady buzz of cicadas. Inside, the air-conditioned classrooms offered a much more comfortable escape.In Class 2–1 of the junior year, students hurried back to their seats. Just as the final chime faded, the homeroom teacher walked in, holding a stack of freshly graded exam papers.“For this round of mock exams,” she announced, loud and clear, “the top score in the entire grade once again goes to our very own Haley!”A wave of murmurs and applause followed. “Let’s all work hard and try to catch up to her next time!”She began handing out the papers in order, from the highest score to the lowest.After Haley got her paper, the next few went to her seatmate, Helen, and the student sitting behind them—Zac.“Work hard and catch up?” Helen muttered as she slid back into her seat, s

But what did it matter, even if she still loved him? The pain he caused her in the past was still there, lingering beneath the surface.They had loved, they had hurt, they had been entangled for years. But not every love story had to end with forgiveness and reconciliation.Haley couldn’t pretend the past hadn’t happened. She couldn’t smile and pick up where they left off, as if nothing had ever gone wrong.She would always remember that street in Merika State, when Justin turned away, picked Emma up in his arms, and left her standing there alone.Even if he had mistaken someone else for her, the pain he caused and the love he failed to give were real.And that wasn’t something she could ever forget.She could make peace with the past, but she could never erase it.Her heart ached, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned and walked away.*Years later, Haley passed away peacefully in her bedroom at the estate.That same day, Justin had gone out to the grocer

It was just a shame that life rarely worked out the way people wanted it to.*Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.Chase and Alex had grown taller and older. Haley’s once-small jewelry brand had not only found its place in the industry—it had grown into a globally recognized luxury label, known for bespoke, high-end pieces.As for Justin, he split his time between Haven State and Merika State. Whenever he wasn’t busy, he would shamelessly camp out at the estate, claiming he was just there to “see the kids.”Eventually, no one even bothered to call him out on it anymore.One day, Haley had a business meeting with a potential partner—a widowed single father. Somehow, Justin caught wind of a rumor that the man had feelings for Haley and was actively pursuing her. Word had it that she was interested too, and they were currently having dinner together at a restaurant.The second Justin heard that, he canceled a company meeting, boarded his private jet, and flew straight to Mer

As soon as Haley stepped into the room, Justin followed right behind her.It was the first time he had ever set foot in Haley’s room—the space where she lived in Merika State.“Get out!” she snapped.“Haley, I just wanted to see you. Please don’t make me leave, okay?”His eyes scanned the room. The walls, the shelves—everything was filled with Haley’s photos. There was even a custom-built glass display case, clearly made with love, housing her pictures from childhood to adulthood. It was something Evelyn had put together just for her, and it overflowed with affection.There were portraits of her alone, family pictures, and right at the top—photos of Chase and Alex.Justin looked at each one carefully, as if he were trying to piece together a life he hadn’t been part of, but desperately wished he had been.Then his gaze landed on a particular photo: Haley in her teens, wearing a soft pink-and-white hoodie with little bunny ears on the hood. Her pale skin, big round eyes, and brig

“Haley…” Justin’s voice was weak. There was so much he wanted to say, but he didn’t even know where to start.“I heard you’re sick?” Haley said.“I… I’m fine. I’m not really sick, I just—”“Take care of yourself. Heart problems aren’t like other illnesses. Just look forward. Let go of the past. Meet someone new. Live your life.”Justin fell silent. His head dropped, and the phone pressed against his ear was clenched so tightly in his hand that his knuckles turned white. He wrestled with the words for a long moment before finally managing to force out.“Okay.”But he knew. He wouldn’t meet someone new. Without Haley, what kind of life could he possibly call “living”?The call ended. Life went back to its quiet rhythm. Justin no longer clung to Haley or tried to find her. After one more day in the hospital, he threw himself back into work and took over the reins of RC Corporation.They had truly managed to part on peaceful terms.After returning to Merika State, Haley d
