At the door of the luxurious dressing room, Jayden guided me, silencing everyone with just a look. As he confidently passed through the ropes that separated mere mortals from music stars, I realized that even without the pass Maryna gave us, he wouldn’t have had any trouble getting in. After all, this was his natural habitat. We spotted a man with gray hair and a well-groomed beard, sporting a watch so large it seemed to weigh down his wrist. As soon as he saw Jayden, the man appeared to recognize him and smiled."Jayden Park!" the unknown man called out Jayden’s name like a mantra, and Jayden responded in kind."Brandon Lux!" They greeted each other, and soon the man’s gaze landed on me. Jayden pulled me closer to him and quickly introduced me."Brandon, this is Jane. She's a big fan of Bruno Ocean, and so is her friend. Her friend is still at the door, do you think you could let her in?" Jayden asked, fulfilling the promise he made to Tracy, and I smiled.The unknown man seemed to p
I wasn't even remotely interested in this party, but I hated hearing him threaten me. Daon would never do that, so I got up from his lap just as the lights went out, and I started hearing the first chords of a very cheerful song that didn’t match the moment. I stood up from the couch and went to the enormous dressing room window that allowed me to see everything perfectly. The show was amazing, but the truth is, I was feeling bad because of the fight with Jayden.When the first chords of one of the songs began, I couldn't hold back, a few tears rolled down my face as I reflected on the lyrics that said, "You are all I have." I found myself thinking about how I had left my entire life with Daon to bet on Jayden, and now we couldn’t even watch a show together without arguing.I wanted to run into his arms and tell him that I didn’t want to go to any party, that I just wanted to be with him, but my pride wouldn’t let me. I look back, and our eyes meet for a few seconds. I noticed that hi
Once again, Jayden was begging for my forgiveness, his eyes filled with tears, which broke my heart, but he had been so selfish that I needed to set aside that feeling and think clearly. After all, Daon was still my husband, and no matter how upset I was with him, I needed to see him. The fact that Jayden had to apologize to me repeatedly only showed how much he messed up every day, and I didn’t know how long I could handle this.“Jane, I’m begging you to stay with me! Don’t throw away everything we’ve lived through these past few days,” he insisted, on his knees, tears in his eyes.“What’s the point if you ruined everything by lying to me? Don’t you understand that one lie invalidates a thousand truths?” I questioned, irritated, unable to understand how he could hide something so serious from me.“I didn’t lie to you, I just didn’t tell you because I was afraid you’d leave me again before I had a real chance,” he stopped talking, as if he realized he was about to say something wrong.
Jayden point of View.I just dropped Jane off at the airport, and my heart is shattered. Even though she says she loves me and I can feel her love, I'm afraid of what her reaction will be when she sees Daon. What if she still loves him? What if he manages to win her back? Every time she chose him over me, it felt like I was losing a part of myself that could never be recovered. It was as if fragments of my heart were breaking in a way that I would never be able to repair. But then, when she came back and I had her in my arms again, I felt like I loved her even more.No matter how strong my feelings for her were, I was surprised because they seemed to grow every day. I was haunted by these memories, and since it was still early, I decided to go straight to the company. I would bury myself in work to try not to think about any of this. When I got there, everything seemed normal. Most of our singers were on tour, and the company was reasonably empty. I walked past the dance studio and sa
Jane Point of view.I always knew someone would get hurt in this story. I knew that stories like mine were never meant to have a happy ending. After all, I was an unfaithful wife who had fallen in love with the typical bad boy, who, to make matters worse, was my husband's best friend and boss. I already knew what he was like, knew that at some point he would get tired of me. He's just like every other man who's ever been in my life, and I knew that from day one. So why did it hurt so much to see him with that woman? Why couldn't I hold back my tears, even though I knew this would happen someday?Fate was showing me just how much what I was doing to Daon hurt. Fate was punishing me, rubbing in my face that I was just a toy to Jayden, just like I was to all the men I was involved with before Daon. I thought I understood his feelings, thought he was really in love with me, just as I was in love with him. But as always, I was wrong.I always make mistakes. I was wrong to throw myself head
Jane Point of view.I narrowed my eyes, feeling my heart race in my chest as Daon stared at me, as if accusing me of something."Where were you?" Daon asked again, and I looked at him as if he were crazy. After all, I didn’t understand why he was asking me so many questions."I went to get the things you asked for," I explained, pointing to the bag with his clothes and the health insurance documents. "And then I ended up meeting with Seo," I explained, sighing as I ran my hands through my hair. He seemed confused for a moment."Seo?" Daon asked, intrigued, as if weighing my words for any flaw."Yes! He made me an offer that got me really excited, but I wanted to talk to you before accepting," I said as I took his clothes out of the bag, and he seemed to observe every detail of me."What offer?" Daon asked, and I approached the bed, sitting next to him, running my hand over his face to check his temperature."Calm down, first tell me how you're feeling," I asked, trying to swallow my u
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
