My husband stared at me, seeking answers that even I didn’t have. I wanted more than anything to go back to how we were. I wished it were possible to erase my mistakes like someone who erases words from the pages of life, but even an eraser leaves traces, and often it even tears the paper. So at this moment, all I could hope for was that my mistakes wouldn’t completely destroy us.“I don’t know,” I confessed, feeling lost. Daon closed his eyes, squeezing them shut as if my words had hurt him, so I continued.“But I really want to try!” I affirmed, and he looked at me, seeming surprised, while I stood up from my chair and went to him, sitting on his lap, with one leg on each side of his body.Our eyes didn’t leave each other’s for even a second, and he seemed surprised by my gesture, since I had been avoiding him lately. I took my hand to the hem of his shirt, gently pulling it up, and he raised his arms, making my task easier. I slid his shirt off his body, revealing his defined abdom
Jane Point of View.The way Jayden's eyes went from expectation to complete disappointment broke my heart, but I knew I couldn’t keep playing this game, especially now that there were more players on the field. I needed to push him away at any cost. Now that my past had found me, I could no longer live in the present, and I knew I’d have to give up the person I loved most to protect him."I can explain what happened to Hanna!" Jayden stammered, and I sighed, shaking my head with a half-smile."It doesn’t matter anymore, Jayden," I assured him, trying to hide how much I wished there really was an explanation, but there was no way to unsee everything I had seen that day."I only did that because I knew you were doing the same with Daon," Jayden argued, and I let out a sarcastic laugh."Really, you knew?" I asked, rolling my eyes and looking away before I broke down. "Good that you knew! Now, if you’ll excuse me, my students are waiting," I said curtly.He was speechless, and I took the
My hands were trembling as I grabbed the phone from Maryna's hand and quickly searched for Daon's number. My heart raced, and I felt a chill in my stomach that made me desperate, even though my body was burning. With each ring, my heart seemed to stop, and when I finally heard my husband's voice, I broke down."Love, where are you?" I asked, stammering in desperation."Love, I don't want you to worry, but something strange happened," Daon said, apprehensive at the other end of the line.I could sense the concern in his voice, and he sighed deeply before continuing."I'm at Mix. Someone vandalized my car that the insurance company had delivered here to the company after the accident. They called me, and I had to come here," Daon explained, and his words hit me, making my knees buckle as I realized there was only one person who could have done this.Bobby, it had to be him."But are you okay?" I asked, whimpering, wanting to escape to a place where my past would only hurt me."Yes, love
The last thing I wanted was to see the two of them fighting. I didn’t understand why all of this was happening today of all days. They stared at each other as if they were about to kill each other, and if that happened, I didn’t know how I’d separate them. As soon as Daon saw the marks on my neck, he seemed to grow suspicious of Jayden, and I couldn’t understand why he was acting that way. So, to try to avoid a fight, I positioned myself between them and looked at Daon, trying to draw his attention to me.“What are you implying, Daon?” I asked, challenging him, and his gaze wavered uncertainly between me and Jayden, who stood there with his tattooed fists clenched.“I just find this story really strange! You’re ‘attacked,’ and coincidentally, Jayden was there,” Daon muttered in a sarcastic tone, as if insinuating something.“He wasn’t there! I was attacked, and when the assailant was about to take me away, Maryna jumped on his neck and almost tore off his ear!” I explained, irritated.
Jane Point of View.Part of me wanted to run into Jayden’s arms, and another part knew I could never do that again because we were doomed. The sound of Jessi clapping, celebrating the reunion of the couple that should never have broken up, snapped me out of my trance, and I sighed as I saw a police officer approach, whispering something in Daon’s ear, who looked at me anxiously.“I’ll finish my statement and sign some papers,” my husband explained, and I nodded.He looked at his best friend before leaving, and Jayden seemed as confused as I was. Simon and Maryna were so wrapped up in each other that when I noticed, they were stumbling and bumping into me.“For God's sake, get a room!” Jayden demanded, huffing in irritation.“Yeah, have some compassion for the singles!” Jessi grumbled in her always loud voice.“Now, besides everything, there’s no respect left in this company,” Hanna muttered, and even wrapped in the arms of the man she loved, Maryna couldn’t let it slide.“Who are you
We stared at Simon in anticipation, my heart almost jumping out of my chest. Had they discovered Bobby’s identity? Had he done something else? Time seemed to stand still as I stared at him, terrified, unable even to breathe.“I just wanted to say I’m heading home, and since I don’t know if I’ll survive this woman, I’m letting you know. If I don’t show up tomorrow, search for my dehydrated body with too much pleasure.” Simon said, his first words serious before laughing, and I finally exhaled in relief. Jayden, noticing my distress, huffed irritably.“Get out of here, you fool! Go have sex and leave me alone! By the way, where’s Maryna? Did you leave her alone?” Jayden asked, worried.Simon’s eyes widened as if he just realized what he had done, and before he could respond, we heard a loud scream echoing down the hallway.“Help! Someone help me!” A female voice pleaded.When we opened the door, we were met with the sight of Maryna dragging Hanna by the hair down the Mix corridors.“Let
Every time I heard the doorbell ring, I almost lost my mind. I didn’t know what to do, and if I knew Bobby well, he’d find a way to get in. Desperate, I grabbed my phone and dialed Jayden’s number, but I simply couldn’t complete the call. I couldn’t involve him in this, this was my problem, and I had to deal with it on my own. Suddenly, my phone started ringing, and I saw an unknown number on the screen. Panic surged through me, and the tears fell even more frequently down my face. My voice cracked from crying as I mustered all my strength to answer the phone."Hello?" I stammered, my voice trembling.I held my breath, waiting to hear the voice that haunted all my worst nightmares, but there was no reply. Then, I heard the sound of someone entering the code into the door lock, and I panicked. My God, how did he find out the code? He’s going to get in. He’s going to kill me. I held my breath and felt my legs give way as I heard the door unlocking. Just as I thought of screaming, I saw
His threat makes me stop fighting immediately, and tears start rolling down my face. He takes me to the back of the gym, and from where we are, he keeps watch until I see Jayden approaching the car, looking around in confusion, searching for me. I began crying even harder, and when Bobby removed his hand from my mouth, I thought about screaming, but then I saw him pull a gun from his pocket and aim it at Jayden.“If you make a sound, I’ll shoot,” Bobby whispered.I panicked and covered my mouth with my hands so Jayden wouldn’t hear my sobs.“If you want your lover to live, you’ll come with me now!” Bobby demanded.He turned me to face him, and my entire body trembled as desperation took over me. I glanced back at Jayden, and even though I knew that if I went with Bobby, I’d never see him again, I was willing to do anything to save him. So, I took one last look at the man I loved and nodded.“Okay, take me. Do whatever you want with me, but please don’t hurt him!” I begged desperately.
Jane’s Point of ViewFour years later.I woke up stretching, desperately wishing to sleep for ten more minutes before the twins burst into the room, jumping on the bed like they did every morning. Before I could close my eyes again, I felt the familiar touch of my husband on my arms and soon felt him pressing his body against mine, already kissing my neck.“Time to wake up, sleepyhead,” he said.“No, just ten more minutes,” I whined, feeling his body against mine.“What if we use those ten minutes to do something much better?” he teased, making me smile, teasing him back.“Aren’t you tired, Mister Park? We barely slept last night,” I remarked.He smiled and took my hand, pulling me on top of him.“Of course, it’s not every day the kids go to bed early,” he retorted.“Well, after spending the whole day at the amusement park,” I commented.He sat up on the bed, pulling me into a kiss, and lifted my nightgown, quickly taking it off completely. I took the opportunity to remove his shirt,
Jane’s Point of ViewMaryna pouted, and I couldn’t help but smile when Louyse seemed to tug at her blouse.“You don’t need to apologize. Now we’re all going to be a family, and the only thing that matters is your well-being,” Louyse said, looking pleased.She seemed to realize what she had said, and everyone stared at her, then looked at me.“Family?” I asked.“Stop scaring my patient, you impatient lot. Let me examine her first,” the doctor joked, and started examining me. He soon sighed as if thinking of a simple way to deliver news I wasn’t sure was good or bad.“Alright, your vital signs are normal, and your blood pressure is steady. Jane, the sedative you were given was strong, but not enough to keep you unconscious for more than two hours. However, what complicated things is that you're pregnant,” the doctor stated.“Pregnant?” I asked, startled.“Yes. Nearly six weeks along,” the doctor confirmed.I was completely shocked, and the worst part was that I didn’t even know who the
Jane’s Point of ViewBeing threatened, kidnapped, none of that affected me as much as the sound of that gunshot. I was still numb from the substance Bobby injected into me, but I managed to stand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, which allowed me to see everything clearly. Daon provoked Bobby, risking his own neck to save me despite my tearful pleas for him to leave.All I wanted was for everyone to get out of here safely. I just wanted to erase the stain of my existence from their lives so they wouldn’t have to go through this. I looked around, seeing the distress on the officers' faces, the tears streaming down Jayden’s flawless face, and Daon’s determined look, his eyes full of resolve to save me even if it cost him his life.When he achieved his goal and Bobby moved the gun from my head to point at him, Daon smirked, and my heart seemed to stop. It was as if Daon wanted Bobby to shoot him, and after a few words that made Bobby’s body tremble next to mine, I wanted to say
Jayden's Point of ViewBefore I could react, Maryna took off running, even in her long red evening gown. She kicked off her matching red heels and simply sprinted with surprising speed, catching up to them. She leaped onto the back of the taller figure, who appeared to be the man, and started hitting him on the head. The boys were as shocked as I was, but they quickly reacted, and we all ran over to help Maryna. However, the woman covered in a burka began screaming and crying in a language I didn’t recognize, and airport security surrounded us. Maryna managed to pull the cloth off the man's head and face, revealing that it wasn’t Bobby. The final boarding call for the flight to Venezuela was being made, and we were now surrounded by security. The situation couldn't have been more desperate. They were pulling Maryna off the man, restraining her with her hands bound in front of her using plastic ties. She was trying to explain the situation when something seemed to dawn on her, and her
Jayden's Point of ViewThe guard zooms in and, after enhancing the image, the vehicle’s license plate becomes clearly visible. Maryna grabs her phone and starts dialing a number while Daon seems to be growing increasingly anxious about his call."No! We have recordings that prove she was kidnapped! She didn’t run away! I CAN'T CALM DOWN! MY WIFE WAS DRUGGED, KIDNAPPED, AND YOU’RE TELLING ME TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW? BY TOMORROW HE’LL ALREADY HAVE TAKEN HER OUT OF THE COUNTRY, YOU IDIOT!" Daon shouted, enraged.He didn’t seem to be getting anywhere with the inspector, who appeared to be stubbornly holding onto his own version of the story. Meanwhile, Maryna looked excited as she spoke in a language I didn’t understand, and as soon as she hung up, my heart almost stopped."A long-time friend is going to try to track the car, but he reminded me of something important. The only airport with international flights is Incheon, so we need to head there immediately," Maryna explained urgently."
Jayden's Point of View.I knew that one day Daon would find out everything, and I thought that when that day came, I’d be able to say something better than just repeating meaningless apologies to him. I knew I was wrong, I knew Daon didn’t deserve any of this, but the more he talked, the more anger I felt. When he started hitting me relentlessly, without even trying to hear or understand what I had to say, I completely lost control and started throwing punches and kicks back at him.We were blindly attacking each other. My fists hurt and were covered in blood. I couldn’t tell if it was mine or Daon’s. I could hear Jane’s voice in the distance, trying to get us to stop, but the rage had blinded us. The only thing that finally made us stop was when Simon and Maryna appeared and pulled us apart before something worse happened. Even though they broke up the fight, we kept attacking each other, but now, instead of fists, we used words.“You’ve always been a selfish jerk! Without my help, y
Apologies were useless now, we had been discovered, and maybe it was for the best. Daon already knew everything, but perhaps seeing it with his own eyes would push him away from me and keep him safe, as I knew I could never stay by his side. Daon seemed completely destabilized by my response, and confusion was written all over his face."What? What do you mean?" he asked, intrigued by my revelation."I met Jayden on my first day here. When we went to meet your mother, and she treated me poorly, I left and went to a bar," I began, but my voice faltered.Maybe none of this would have happened if I hadn’t overheard what his mother said that day. Maybe it wouldn’t have happened if we hadn't come to Korea. No. I can’t blame my mistake on circumstances. The only one to blame for everything that happened was myself, for being weak. I let myself be carried away by my impulsiveness, and now I was suffering the consequences of my own actions."I know. You were with a guy there and said it meant
The man I love is capable of destroying all my defenses with just one look. He could make me sigh just by thinking of him, and now, as he touched me in that needy way, I knew there was nothing I could deny him."Then go crazy with me!" I pleaded, surrendering completely.What I had desired for so long was finally going to happen. I can't even say how many nights I spent awake, feeling my body burn with a fire I knew only he could extinguish."Make me yours, Jayden!" I begged, desperate."You are already mine, just as I am yours!" he declared, and I nodded, crossing my legs around his waist to prevent him from pulling away."I love you so much, Jane!" he sighed, and I smiled, satisfied, as our bodies fit together like the perfect puzzle."I love you too, Jayden!" I confessed, reaching my climax.When we were both trembling and completely satisfied, we adjusted ourselves as best as we could. We had silly smiles on our faces, and our messy hair gave away the love we had just made."You l
Dealing with Daon's mother was nothing compared to the whirlwind of emotions I'd been handling over the past few days, but it was still difficult. I rolled my eyes, unsure how to hide my dissatisfaction upon seeing her there, and only when I looked at her did I notice she was arm-in-arm with Louyse."Mom, please don’t start!" Daon warned her with a weak smile on his face, gripping my hand more firmly when I tried to step away."Start what, my son? I’m here on a peace mission. I was talking to Louyse, and the more I talk to her, the more certain I am that you two were born for each other." His mother gestured to the younger woman, who smiled as her cheeks flushed, pretending I wasn’t even there."Don’t say that, you’ll embarrass me," Louyse replied shyly, though it was clear she was enjoying it."It’s the pure truth, dear. I still have faith that my son will open his eyes and see you’re the ideal woman for him. Nothing would make me happier than seeing you two together," his mother ins
