"Give him 500 bucks to grab a meal while you're at it. At least he wouldn't have waited all night for nothing."I whispered to Josie, "Your brother's unhinged, but he's actually kind of nice."Josie had nothing to say.…Worried that Logan might come harass me, Josie suggested I stay at her place for a few days.Simon didn't object. In fact, he even offered me his room, claiming that it had better light. Then, he moved into the guest room next to Roman's bedroom.Josie clicked her tongue in amazement."Simon never lets me bring girls home, and he doesn't let them touch his things. I was starting to think he might be a bit of a misogynist. But look at how accommodating he is with you! Do you know what that means?""What does it mean?" I asked.Simon's footsteps on the stairs suddenly slowed."It means that Logan and Leah, those two scumbags, were so outrageous that even my cold-blooded brother can't help but sympathize you!" Josie huffed."If you have nothing better to say, j

Simon drove to work with his usual icy expression.To kill time and ease the awkward silence, I started scrolling my social media feed. And that was when my world collapsed.Last night, the aloof Simon posted an update. "Today, we added an extra set of cutlery at home."Besides a cute emoji, attached was a close-up shot of a massive plate of pasta—my plate of pasta. My right hand which was holding the spoon was also in the frame.Even though the image quality wasn't great, anyone could tell the plate was filled to the brim.I had a big appetite, but since it was my first time eating at their house, I felt too embarrassed to ask for a second serving. So, I pressed the pasta down to fit more in.At this moment, I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it.Moreover, the comments section was worse.Among our mutual friends, Leah commented almost instantly after the photo was posted. "Who on earth is that? I need answers right now!"Logan, who must have recognized my bracelet,

For the next while, I stayed at Josie's place and commuted to work with Simon in the morning. With all the distractions, the agony of my breakup passed surprisingly fast.Simon, like a once-feral man slowly integrating into civilization, started learning how to care for others. He even attempted to cook, which frightened Maria into thinking she would soon be out of a job.Another unfortunate casualty was Dr. Wilson.Simon suddenly lost his love for overtime. With him clocking out on time every day, Dr. Wilson was left to shoulder the workload alone. His hairline was visibly receding at an alarming rate.Josie remarked in admiration, "The most abnormal person in our family is finally becoming normal."But to me, Simon was still a little off.Take last night, for example. Right before bed, he checked on me like I was one of his patients."How are you feeling? Have you been sleeping well these past couple of days?"I nodded. "Yeah, I'm getting used to it."A moment later, he post

"That night, Logan must've crushed you with his answer, huh? You should understand now that you and I are different. He's been chasing me for five years, and still, he couldn't have me."But you just threw yourself at him. The way he sees us is very different. First love is the most unforgettable. Even if you two are married, I'll always be embedded in his heart."Leah's words were sharp, each one striking close to the heart. But I was beyond caring.Seeing that I wasn't reacting, she lowered her voice and continued, "And you know what? After you left that night, he took me home and stayed over at my place. While you were tossing and turning in bed, he was right next to me, sleeping soundly. That's the man you've loved for three years.""Speaking of which," she added, "Although I caused you some pain, you should thank me, right? I've shown you exactly what kind of man he is."I furrowed my brow, and my expression grew solemn.Leah smiled smugly. "Weren't you so calm just now? Wha

With his eyes still closed, Dr. Wilson answered, "There's an SUV downstairs, and it's filled with bouquets. It looks like it's for you."I blinked in surprise. Pushing open the window, I saw Logan standing below with a sea of flowers surrounding him.In the past few days, he desperately searched for me. He even booked an appointment with me and poured his heart out in a tearful confession.I rationally suggested that he might need to see a psychiatrist, but clearly, he didn't give up.Now, he was standing outside with an overwhelming display of flowers. When he saw me through the window, he started to bare his soul."I had too much of a drink that night. When I woke up, I realized I made a terrible mistake, and I've regretted it every second since. After thinking it through, I realized my feelings for Leah were nothing more than an obsession I carried for years over something I could never have."And once I had it, I finally understood that the person I truly love has always been

Simon: "So what? You're just here to show off your relationship and make me feel bad?"Logan: "Haha, I'm just a little emotional after drinking. I used to hate her and blame her, but I've let go now. I hope she gets what she wants and lives well. I realized that when you're surrounded by love, you just tend to be kind to the world."Simon replied with an annoyed emoji.Logan: "Okay, now that I've said it, it feels better. Let's delete the chat. Thanks for listening, man."Simon: "Wait, I'm not feeling good now."Logan: "What?"Simon: "I mean, your situation's off. You're still concerned about her—doesn't that mean you haven't let her go?"Logan: "No, I think I've let her go."Simon: "No, you haven't."Logan replied with a speechless emoji. Simon: "I mean it. Trust me, you're too involved to see it clearly, but I'm an outsider. Deep down, the person you love the most is still Leah. Speaking of which, who is she?"Logan: "I sent you a photo. That's her."Simon: "She's beauti

With the wedding approaching, Logan Bradshaw's childhood friends threw him a bachelor party.Everyone in Logan's close circle knew how much he adored me. If he didn't bring me along, he'd undoubtedly rush home before 10:00 pm, regardless of whether the others enjoyed themselves.So this time, they warmly invited me as well.However, the moment I stepped inside, I sensed something was off.Everyone greeted me enthusiastically, yet I caught them subtly exchanging glances with Logan. I had no idea what was going on.Once everyone was seated, a short-haired woman arrived fashionably late."Sorry, I'm late! Traffic was terrible!"She was tall and slender, and her voice was crisp and confident.Beside me, Logan instantly tensed up. For the first time in my life, I saw what it looked like when someone's heart skipped a beat.The woman beamed at me and extended her hand."You must be the bride-to-be. Nice to meet you! I'm Leah Powell."The second I heard her name, everything clicked

"If you ever get mistreated, come to me. Logan and I might've grown up together, but I'm not about to take his side. If anything happens, I've got your back!"The people around us broke into applause."That's our queen! Still as cool as ever!"Leah paused, then looked past me to Logan, who was sitting on my other side."Hey, what's up with you? We haven't seen each other in three years. Why are you so quiet?"The others at the party resumed drinking and chatting, but their eyes were locked on the three of us, eager not to miss a second of the drama.Logan's ears turned visibly red.He didn't even dare look at her. Instead, he held his drink and forced a joking tone as he replied, "I just don't know what to say to you. We're not as close as we used to be."Leah chuckled. "So it's my fault for not keeping in touch these past three years?"She raised her glass toward him. "Then let's keep in touch from now on."Logan glanced at me before answering, "I'm under strict supervision

"Come on. Let's check if they accidentally removed your brain the last time you were hospitalized."Josie's protests echoed down the hallway."My brain is just fine! Simon, let me explain. Having a stepmom has three major benefits! First, if Dad gets married, he'll stop nagging us about settling down."Second, I'll get her to sweet-talk Dad into passing the company down to me. That way, you can keep being a doctor, and I'll finally become the chairwoman. Everyone wins!"Third, she's young, gorgeous, and curvy. If everything goes well, we'll have a baby brother by next year. The family legacy will be secured, and you won't even have to lift a finger!"Isn’t it perfect—ow! Why'd you pinch me?! That hurts!"…As we left the hospital, a familiar car flashed past. I turned my head to look."Was that Logan?"Josie remained unfazed. "No, you're seeing things. He's probably busy whispering sweet nothings to his first love in the bed. Why would he have time for you?"I considered myse

Josie's words helped piece my shattered self-esteem back together."But seriously though, are you not considering marrying into my family?"She asked me this countless times before.Josie and I met when she was hospitalized. The hospital director personally took on her case, and I was his assistant.However, as I had a gentle demeanor and gave painless injections, Josie stubbornly insisted that I be her attending physician instead.That was the start of our unbreakable bond.At the time, I was already dating Logan.Josie would sigh in regret every day and say, "I should've gotten sick a few months earlier. You were still single then. I could've brought you home as my sister-in-law!"The innocent bystander in all this was Simon Lawson, Josie's older brother, who flew back from abroad to visit her at the hospital. His expression would darken each time she brought it up.Thanks to her relentless matchmaking, my relationship with Simon started off tense. Whenever we ran into each

By now, Logan had sobered up. He rubbed his temples and stood."Tara's tired. I should take her home."Josie sneered. "I'm already here. You can just keep playing dead."The crowd awkwardly stood by, watching as Josie started packing up my things while muttering under her breath."I told you ages ago. With your looks and personality, you should've married into old money and enjoyed life. But no, you had to go suffer in a nouveau riche family. That kind of social circle is full of backstabbing and fake smiles. Someone as innocent as you doesn't belong in a place like that."Logan's family had a net worth in the high nine figures. To call them a nouveau riche family was a rare insult. But when it came from her, no one dared to refute it.Josie finished packing and grabbed my bag. Seeing the elegantly wrapped perfume bottle inside, she didn't even bother asking. She merely took it out and tossed it onto the floor."What kind of outdated garbage is this? Who thought it was a decent
