Richard scoffed. “They’re off taking wedding photos. I just called them and they’re still not done. Apparently, they’re shooting some night scenes, so who knows when they’ll be back.” Justin’s gaze drifted toward Haley, who was silently eating across from him. “Wedding photos… When will it be our turn?” he wondered. “Night scenes?” Alex tilted his head in confusion. “But it’s dark at night. How can you even see their faces?” Richard smirked. “They’ll probably use those fairy lights, or maybe set up some fake scenery with LED strips. Hey, Alex, want me to help you wrap some lights around your kite for Ria? That way, when you fly it at night, it’ll twinkle like a little star.” Alex’s eyes lit up. A kite that twinkled like a star in the night sky? “That sounds amazing!” Alex thought excitedly. “Who’s Ria?” Justin finally asked, looking genuinely lost. Richard shot him a look. “Ria is the little girl Alex likes. You seriously didn’t know? And you call yourself his d

The night deepened, and it was time for everyone to head to bed. After tidying up the half-assembled kite frame and putting away the materials, Justin led Alex upstairs for his bath. By now, he was more than familiar with this house and it felt almost like his own. As they passed through the living room, Chase and Richard were still engrossed in their video game. Seeing them enter, Chase set down his controller. “Mom, Uncle Richard, I’m going to bed.” “Go ahead,” Haley replied without hesitation, letting him leave with Alex and Justin. Ever since Justin had made a habit of staying over, she no longer had to nag the kids to take their baths and sleep on time. It was convenient, but it also took away a bit of that special bond that came with being the one they relied on. Richard yawned. It was getting late, and without Chase, playing alone wasn’t much fun. He turned off the game. “Sis, I’m heading upstairs too.” “Good night.” “Good night.” With that, everyon

The day after tomorrow was the day Haley had turned down Justin’s invitation to go clam digging. It was also the day Helen and Zac were scheduled to try on their wedding attire. That morning, a team from the bridal boutique arrived at the Mistletoe Villa, bringing dresses and suits for fittings. What Haley hadn’t expected was that Justin would show up too. By now, everyone was used to him dropping by for dinner, so his unannounced arrival barely raised any eyebrows. “Haley.” He greeted her as he walked over. Haley acted as if she hadn’t heard him, sidestepping him and settling on the far end of the sofa. “Uncle Justin, how come you’re here during the day?” Alex asked curiously. Though he greeted Justin, he made no move to approach. After all, thanks to last night’s impromptu quiz, Alex had developed a bit of a guilty conscience. He adored Justin, but right now, seeing him only reminded him of schoolwork and he wasn’t about to risk getting tested on anything e

“Honey, is there anything we haven’t finalized yet?” Helen asked.Zac sat on the edge of the bed, flipping through their wedding checklist. “Let’s see… wedding favors, cake and wine tasting, guest gifts, meeting with the officiant tomorrow, and of course, the venue rehearsal…” “Ugh!” Helen groaned, throwing herself onto the bed. “There’s still so much left? My head hurts just thinking about it!” Even though Wilfred had arranged for professionals to help, she still had to make all the final decisions. Most of it wasn’t too bad, but there was no getting out of the venue rehearsal. No one could stand in for the bride. “Why is wedding planning so exhausting?” She whined. “I still haven’t recovered from the pre-wedding photoshoot, and now I have to go through a full rehearsal? Do I have to wear heels all day again?” Just the thought of high heels made her feet ache. “Honey, I think I might cry.” Zac put down the list and leaned forward to massage her shoulders, his ton

After half an hour, Zac and Helen arrived at the cafe ten minutes early since it was close to Mistletoe Villa. However, to their surprise, Elena was already there, seated as if she had been waiting for a long time. “Zac…” Elena stood up with a smile, but the moment she saw him walking in with her, their hands intertwined, that smile froze instantly. “You… came together?” “Of course,” Helen said smoothly, guiding Zac to sit inside the booth while she took the seat on the outside, ensuring Elena had a clear view of her hand resting possessively on his arm. “A woman asking my husband out alone at night? That doesn’t sit well with me. So, I came along. Whatever you have to say, go ahead—I’m listening.” Elena’s grip on her coffee cup tightened, her fingertips turning pale from the pressure. She thought Helen wouldn’t know. But Zac had told her. No wonder he had hesitated before agreeing, that brief silence was him seeking her permission. They had grown up together, y

Did Elena really not understand the concept of boundaries with a married man? Helen couldn’t stand the way she so casually called Zac by his name, as if she had any claim to him. Tonight, Helen was going to set the record straight—Elena needed to back off.Lowering her head, Elena looked almost frail in front of Helen’s unwavering presence. She reached into her bag and pulled out an envelope, placing it in front of Zac. With that woman sitting right beside him, the words she had rehearsed over and over in her head felt impossible to say out loud. Instead, she simply said, “This is my resignation letter. I hope you’ll approve it.“I’ll be leaving for Merika soon. I’ve already made arrangements there. My father has helped me sort out my living situation, and all that’s left is to book my flight. Everything is set up. You…” You don’t have to worry. The last sentence remained unspoken, swallowed by her pride and the presence of Helen. Helen raised an eyebrow. The way Elena

The days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, October 1st arrived. No one wished more for time to stop than Justin.Because once the wedding was over, it meant Haley would be leaving Haven State.He had endless wealth, yet he was powerless against the passage of time.*Zac stood at the front door, beaming with excitement. Dressed to the nines and holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, he led his groomsmen up to Mistletoe Villa, ready for the next big moment of the day.Inside, the house was filled with laughter, music, and excited chatter. Bridesmaids and family members gathered around Helen, making last-minute adjustments to her gown and veil.But before Zac could see his bride, he had one more challenge—getting past the bridesmaids.“Not so fast,” one of them teased, blocking the doorway. “If you want to see Helen, you have to prove you deserve her!”Zac grinned, playing along. He answered questions about Helen, completed a couple of lighthearted challenges, and, of course, sli

Just earlier, Xena had been gossiping in the group chat about Helen. Yet now, she sat there in stunned silence, completely frozen. Had that really been Wilfred walking her down the aisle? No one paid attention to Xena’s shock—the wedding continued seamlessly. It was time for the bouquet toss. The bridesmaids, groomsmen, and any unmarried guests excitedly gathered at the front, eager to catch it. With her back to the crowd, Helen took a deep breath, raised the bouquet high, and tossed it over her shoulder. It spun through the air before falling into the sea of outstretched hands. Laughter and cheers erupted as guests playfully jostled to grab it. And then—against all expectations—the bouquet landed right in Justin’s hands. He had snatched it. Standing there like a victorious general, Justin held the bouquet high, a triumphant grin on his face. His suit was slightly rumpled from the scuffle, and a few strands of his carefully styled hair had come loose. Clearly, he h

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
