Aiden stood on the bridge, where he usually kept himself calm. The snow still faithfully rained down on the city of New York. The cold air pierced his bones and joints. But it had no effect on Aiden.
"Where are you, Cath? Aiden murmured, staring ahead.
He could feel it now—the tightness of loss. The tightness of being left behind and the tightness of this longing
A thousand times, he told himself that he had locked himself in those shackles.
Evelyn was right. Catherine and Agneta were different, but it was clear that Catherine loved her. Whereas Agneta-?
Even Aiden himself couldn't answer that. Agneta chose to be with him out of reciprocity, nothing more than that.
How pathetic Aiden was. He couldn't even tell the difference between genuine love and reciprocation.
Aiden let out a long breath as he rubbed his face, which felt cold and seemed to be frozen. He closed his eyes and felt the cold snow touch his face.
He opened
Soon their car entered the mountainous area, and it looked deserted, and the roads were so rocky.Ah, damn that, Robert. He brought Catherine here! Aiden shouted, clenching his fists. He felt like he wanted to immediately punch Robert's face to pieces."We'll park the car here. It's still quite far from here. But if we use our car, we'll raise their suspicions," Harry's men shouted.They all got out of the car and walked on foot without leaving any traces or arousing suspicion.---After traveling quite far. They saw a large building. More precisely, a building for the manufacture of something And seen a few people guarding outside the building."What now?" Aiden asked."We'll keep an eye out here first. Some of my men will be barging in on every side," Harry explained."By the way, can you defend yourself?" asked Harry, looking at Aiden."Are you underestimating me?" cried Aiden, looking annoyed that Harry had underesti
A doctor is attending to Catherine. Aiden was standing outside the emergency room. With the assistance of the police, Harry was tracing Robert's whereabouts and securing the animals that Robert had captured.Aiden was seen sitting in a chair on the side of the door to the room. His gaze wandered forward. Fragments of the events of a few hours ago flashed through his head again. When Catherine protects herself and sacrifices her own life.I love you, Aiden.Those words rang in Aiden's ears and felt so suffocating."You need to get back to health, Cat." Aiden muttered, rubbing his face angrily.Not long after, a doctor came out of the examination room. He asked Aiden to follow him to his room."How is Catherine? Aiden asked when he sat in the chair opposite the doctor.Aiden looked so worried, and there was fear in his sharp eyes. The doctor seemed to take a deep breath as he adjusted the position of the glasses he was wearing."How?" Aiden asked very quietly. "He's fine, isn't he?""Mi
Snow is still falling faithfully in the city of New York.The cold air is so piercing to the skin. Someone seemed to be staring out the window. Staring at the snowflakes falling down. His gaze was blank."The air is very cold! shouted someone putting a coat on the body of a person sitting in a wheelchair.That person was Catherine, who sat quietly without saying much in the wheelchair. When he wakes up, he must recognize the fact that he is paralyzed. The second time, he could not move. According to the doctor, this will not last long. Catherine just needs regular therapy."Thank you," said Catherine to someone who was none other than Aiden.Currently, Catherine is still being treated in the hospital. And Aiden faithfully accompanies him. But after realizing this, Catherine didn't say much and chose to remain silent."You need anything? Aiden asked."No."Aiden was used to getting cold and flat calls from Catherine, but he didn't leave her. In fact, he still paid attention to Catherine
Catherine is seen working with her laptop on the gurney. Aiden was still sitting and watching her. Actually, Catherine had finished her work, which was just checking some reports. But he felt nervous and awkward being stared at like that by Aiden. Feeling embarrassed, Catherine finally looked at Aiden."Do you really have nothing to do? Why are you still here?" cried Catherine."What's wrong if I'm here? You yourself know that I'm no longer working," Aiden said casually.Aiden was used to being kicked out of Catherine's house. This isn't the first time."Then do whatever you want; why do you have to stay here all the time?" said Catherine."Because I have activities here. It's different when I sleep in the apartment. So it's better to be here, right? Besides, if I'm not here, who do you want to be with? Aiden exclaimed."I'm used to being alone.""Really. Then why, yesterday, when I went to see Mine, you were at a loss and contacted E
Aiden saw Mine sitting in the garden behind Catherine's house, looking at the artificial lake there. He walked over to Mine and sat in the chair Mine was sitting on."Still angry with Uncle? Aiden asked, making Mine turn to him and shake her head."Then do you want to listen to Uncle's explanation?" he asked."But won't you lie? Mine was asked innocently, making Aiden smile."Promise." Aiden raised his hand next to his head as a sign that he had promised."6 years ago. I met Mommy Catherine in an arranged marriage made by our parents. From the start, I told her that I already had a woman I liked and would marry her. Mommy Catherine understood, and she didn't accept the match," said Aiden."Time just went by, and we met again at a company dinner. From there, we decided to be friends because we felt like we suited each other," Aiden exclaimed. "Until one day I was drunk because my heart was broken because I had been betrayed. I recognized the
Catherine has returned home. He just needs to control his legs. Catherine was able to breathe a sigh of relief; finally, she could be a little away from Aiden. In fact, continuing to be with Aiden was not very good for her heart condition.Catherine has not returned to work. He only works from home, and his secretary comes to the house when he needs his signature.That morning, Catherine had just woken up. He relaxed his muscles a little. He heard noise and laughter from outside the room."What happened, huh?" muttered Catherine. Then he tied his hair loosely. With slow movements, he moved into the wheelchair and took it out of the room.He temporarily moved his room to the first floor. Which directly connects it to the family room and kitchen without any wall partitions. His eyes widened slightly when he saw a tall figure with an apron attached to his body cooking in the kitchen. And Mine is seen sitting on the pantry table, clapping her hands, and looki
Catherine pushed her wheelchair towards Mine's room. Since what happened this morning, she didn't dare to meet Aiden at all. And it seemed like Aiden didn't intend to meet him either, and he ordered Mouli to deliver food to his room. Catherine stopped pushing the wheels of the wheelchair she was sitting on. His eyes were focused on the room, where the door was slightly closed. He could still see Aiden in there, reading a fairy tale book to Mine, and they looked very close and very familiar. Mine seemed to be laughing because of Aiden's joke.Seeing all this, Catherine's heart felt warm. He was happy to see Mine finally able to be happy and laugh out loud. He saw Mine's figure was different from usual. He never accompanied mine to sleep. Sometimes when he comes home, mine is already asleep. What kind of mother is she who even forgets her own child's happiness? He is really very selfish."We haven't slept yet." The question awakened Catherine's thoughts. She saw Aiden's
“Hello, Madam," said Evelyn, approaching Catherin, who was in the back yard reading a book."I still remember having a friend. It's been a long time since I came," exclaimed Catherine."Ciee, someone missed me," chuckled Evelyn, taking a seat in the garden chair near Catherin."Where have you been all this time? It's unusual for you to disappear for so long.""I'm giving you time to be close to Aiden," he chuckled, making Catherine look at him. "So how is your relationship progressing?"Catherine looked forward again as she closed the book in her hand."He's being a little strange! exclaimed Catherine."Strange how?" Evelyn asked very curiously."He became a little flirty and very sweet; I don't know what happened to him. I don't know."Evelyn suddenly laughed when she heard Catherin's exclamation. "That's him trying to be accepted by you again. Come on, Cath, what are you waiting for? He's already said that he lov
