I still felt uneasy after returning to my room and washing up. In order to quickly calm myself down, I started painting.

I was someone who became completely absorbed in whatever I was doing. Just a few minutes after picking up the paintbrush, I was completely in the zone.

When I finally put down the brush, I was exhausted and realized that it was almost one in the morning.

I had painted for the last three hours without paying attention to anything outside or even going to the bathroom.

Indeed, when people were doing something, time flew by quickly. Pains like heartache were also relieved.

Climbing onto the bed with my tired body, I instinctively picked up my phone and opened WhatsApp. The person whose chat box was at the top had written a short message more than three hours ago, just after I rushed into the apartment.

The message wasn't too long, and the content was simple. "If you're concerned about the Instagram post, I can explain."

It turned out that the young woman was Uncl

    My mood suddenly became very bright. Even the stars outside the window looked exceptionally beautiful, and the wind carried a sweet scent.Instead of replying, I placed my phone on my chest and drifted off to sleep peacefully.My extremely accurate biological clock woke me up at 6:00 am sharp.The sky was already bright, with the corners of the window slightly fogged up. The sky was clear, indicating that it had just rained lightly.Colin's message came at 7:00 am, "Come down. I'll take you out for breakfast."I grabbed the large bag containing my materials and headed downstairs. When I reached the entrance of the apartment, I hesitated to take a step further. I saw Colin's handsome figure through the transparent glass door.Colin taking me out for meals was a regular occurrence back at Lincoln University. It was almost like a fixed scenery. All the women in school knew that the person they admired had a sister-like friend whom he cherished a lot and whom he doted on every day.

    After several years of companionship, Colin knew my ostrich-like tendencies all too well. He must have devised his own unique set of strategies to deal with them.This direct action of pulling me out of my nest was one of the simplest yet most effective among them."Yes, I like them." I took the flowers and buried my face in them. I took a deep inhale of the delicate natural fragrance as I felt my face flush.I was being pursued. There was nothing to be ashamed of, so why was I acting like this?It seemed that I was indeed that helpless.When Colin was distant, I felt a profound sadness.When he was near, I dared not face him.I knew I was totally screwed.Colin cheerfully suggested with his eyes twinkling like stars, "Let's go to your favorite ravioli shop."Ignoring my struggles and oblivious to the onlookers, he firmly took my hand. He led me to the passenger seat of his car, and I got in. I kept my head down all the while, too embarrassed to look at the onlookers or at h

    My mood was inexplicably affected, and even the delicious ravioli lost their original taste.Colin had always been wise and sensitive. He quickly noticed my discomfort and asked me what was wrong.I didn't want to ask, but learning from the adverse consequences of my previous baseless speculations, I decided to tell him the truth.Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything after hearing my words.With a sparkle in his deep eyes, he joyfully grabbed my hand and took a close-up shot with his phone. Then, he found a rose background frame and added the freshly taken photo. Colin then showed me his phone. He suggested I take a look with raised eyebrows. With just one glance, my face turned red again.The two photos were almost identical. It turned out that those were actually Colin's and my hands. That meant I had been competing with myself all along.I couldn't even recognize my own hand, which was truly embarrassing."Why would you post such a misleading photo?" I grumbled a bit.Even

    This morning's incident was like a pebble that shattered the calm of the pond. It left me disoriented throughout the morning class. I aimlessly followed the crowd out of the classroom afterward.I never imagined that just having breakfast would stir up such a commotion, making the whole school aware of my and Colin's relationship.If we were to escalate to an actual romantic relationship, it would just blow the roof off the school.Along the way, I was subjected to curious stares. A freshman even stood on a flower bed and shouted over the crowd to me, "Luna, you're an inspiration to all the women in school. You have to secure the heartthrob and be happy!"The whole school was abuzz with the rumor. Faced with such well-meaning blessings, all I could do was nod in deep gratitude.After finally escaping the fangirls and fanboys, I saw Felix coming toward me.He was alone, dressed in a simple tracksuit, looking tall and lean. He was approaching me slowly.My heart started throbbing,

    Felix White, the youth I once loved, had vanished from this world—never to be found again."You're wrong. Whether I choose Colin or whoever else, it has nothing to do with you. The page between you and me has been turned long ago. Besides, we never actually got together. And that's something I believe you're well aware of, so there's no need for me to remind you."As for whether Colin is suitable for me, that's for me and him to decide—not you."I spoke indifferently, my tone as calm as my demeanor. I didn't intend to hurt or retaliate against anyone. I was just stating the truth.However, Felix became anxious."Lulu, please be rational. How could a person like Collin, who's arrogant and looks down on others, genuinely like you? If I had known you'd choose Colin, I wouldn't have called Matthew that day."Yes, Felix was the one who called Matthew on the day Mrs. Loxley made a scene.Felix was a talented person, but he was a little shameless.His behavior was inconsistent. He was

    "How could it not be love? Lulu, stop deceiving yourself. No matter how I treated you, whether I was ignoring you or scolding you, you'd always smile and listen to me. I know you have a special spot for me deep in your heart."Even when I got a tiny cut on my finger, you would cry your eyes out. How could you say that deep feeling isn't love?"Lulu, you love me. You really do. Have you forgotten? I've read your diaries, all of them. They were all about me. You said I was your life, your everything, and that you had to marry me. Did all those words you wrote mean nothing now?"Lulu, do they really mean nothing?"I stepped back in shock, my heart sinking."So you know everything, Felix. You knew, yet you still humiliated me! You belittled me and treated me like a dog in front of so many people. You were so cold. "It was you who killed all the feelings I had for you. It was also you who pushed me further away time and again. What right do you have to blame me now?"Fine. You said

    "I won't deny it. After all, I once truly invested my feelings in you. But even the deepest love will come to an end. Felix, if you consider the affection I had for you in our youth as love, then I'm telling you now that I don't love you anymore. "I haven't loved you for a long time. My feelings for you have been battered to shreds, worn away by time. I don't love you. Felix White, listen to me, Luna Lawson no longer loves you.""It's been 18 years. How could you say you don't love me just like that? Luna, do you love him? Do you dare to swear by the heavens that you love him?""I swear that I love Colin White, and I'm willing to be with him for the rest of my life, through thick and thin without wavering. As long as he still wants me, I'll never leave nor forsake him."Actually, I hadn't sorted out my feelings for Colin. But at this moment, Felix's actions had led me to a further understanding of my feelings for Colin.Perhaps falling in love with Colin wasn't that difficult.C

    "I don't believe it. You must be lying to me. He couldn't have done so much for you. It's impossible! You're lying, you're all lying to me." Felix staggered, his frail body shivering in the wind as if he would fall at any moment.I didn't want to believe it, but his eyes were filled with profound pain.Such pain couldn't be faked.Suddenly, I wanted to believe that he really liked me.Unfortunately, his affection came far too late."Felix, there was never anything between us. Now, you have Lilac, and you've promised to be with her. Focus your thoughts on her; don't waste them on someone irrelevant like me."Felix, for the sake of our childhood years, let me remind you one last time. We'll never be able to return to the past, so cherish the present."We had attracted quite a crowd of onlookers watching from a distance. I didn't want to become the center of gossip again, so I turned to leave quickly.I didn't know what Felix's expression was. I only heard his cries behind me. "Lu

    I wanted nothing more than to run to Queenie, to hold her tightly and tell her how much I missed her during those endless days apart. I wanted to kiss her deeply and feel the warmth of her embrace. I called out, "Queenie, I'm here."Seeing me seemed to jolt Queenie from her joyous state, replacing it with a vacant expression. Mere moments before, she had been smiling brightly, her eyes aglow with happiness. Now, she appeared lost, her initial elation dissipating into a blank, unresponsive gaze.I couldn't understand why she had turned so distant upon seeing me. The love and joy that once shone in her eyes were nowhere to be found. As I observed her, I wondered if our time apart had caused her to forget. Or perhaps the events of the past had wounded her so profoundly that she had stopped waiting for me.The thoughts terrified me, and I dared not ask for fear of confirming my suspicions. All I wanted was to hold her, kiss her, and tell her how much I missed her. Yet, it seemed tha

    I had no interest in Daniela's pregnancy, so I kicked her out of the house. My friends came to console me, each expressing their sympathies with a drink because they didn't know how else to comfort me.The money I had sent to Queenie's account was quickly returned as the account had been closed. Her phone number became unreachable, and when I sought her at her parents' home, I found the elderly couple waiting anxiously for their daughter's return. I lost not only Queenie but any connection to her. I grew disinterested in everything, neglecting my company and spending my days in a drunken haze.Then, my uncle came. We drank through the night as he shared tales of his hardships, the painful memories of his mother, and the years he spent alone, suffering.He said, "Everyone has their fate, Flynn. And choosing one thing often means losing another. Just as you've chosen to fight for the family business, you've sacrificed a part of yourself. But you must rise and fight me with all you'v

    Queenie would then jump off the cliff, leaving me to jolt awake in a cold sweat. I endured each twilight in my hopeless vigil, counting down the days.On the 75th day, the door finally unlocked. I stepped outside and realized that this was the neighborhood where Queenie and I lived. All this time, we had been mere yards apart.My mom truly knew how to break a person's spirit. All I had to do was lift my head to see the pomegranate tree planted in our yard.I stumbled toward our home, my wounds screaming as I desperately called for Queenie. But the immaculate house stood eerily silent, echoing my footsteps like thunder.Except for Queenie, every possession remained meticulously in place—the exquisite clothes, expensive jewelry, and designer cosmetics.Queenie was gone, and the thought of losing her drove me into a frenzy.I collapsed in the middle of the room, sobbing uncontrollably. Regret consumed me. I should have never let my family's threats manipulate me and left Queenie to

    I clenched my fists, barely resisting the urge to rush over to Queenie's side. All I wanted was to embrace her and whisper assurances that I would protect her, always. But I knew I had no right to do so.My dad's threat hung heavy in my mind, and the stares of Daniela and her mother bore into Queenie like daggers. One wrong move or word and those blades would descend upon Queenie, cutting her to shreds.The pain was unbearable. I felt sorry for Queenie. I was powerless and couldn't help her. With all my heart, I wished for her to stay strong and survive. She deserved better than me. Daniela's mother slapped Queenie, calling her a whore and a homewrecker, accusing her of seducing other people's boyfriends.Queenie stood rigidly, her gaze filled with humiliation. Her lips trembled, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.I winced in agony but held myself together, picking up Daniela and walking away.Countless times afterward, I berated myself for choosing to take Daniela away

    We both knew the truth—neither of us could cross the chasm that had formed between our hearts.After that, I went home almost every day. We managed to maintain a semblance of normalcy in our day-to-day lives. We prepared sumptuous dinners and tended to our garden. I even considered adopting a pet to keep Queenie company while I was away.However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't rekindle the warmth we had once shared. Queenie hardly smiled anymore. No matter what I did to cheer her up, she would only give a half-hearted smile, her eyes remaining cold and distant.I knew something had transpired during our separation, but she refused to discuss it. My attempts to uncover the truth through private investigators were in vain. Any evidence had been meticulously erased.Eventually, I realized Queenie was simply biding her time, waiting for the moment when she would be forced to relinquish all hope and leave.A month later, my mother joyfully told me that Daniela was pregnant an

    I grabbed a brush from the bathroom and scrubbed myself furiously, desperate to wash away the overwhelming sense of filth. Even as the rough bristles tore into my skin, drawing blood and causing searing pain, I felt no closer to feeling clean.My mind was consumed with thoughts of Queenie and the nearly five years we had spent together—the happy moments, the arguments, every single memory.At that moment, I realized I was terrified. Never before had I experienced such abject fear. Knowing Queenie's uncompromising stance on love and fidelity, I knew she would never forgive me once she discovered my transgression.She would undoubtedly turn and leave, heedless of any pleas I might make. I probably wouldn't even have the courage to ask for her forgiveness in the face of her justified anger.I regretted everything. If I had listened to my friends and taken Queenie away from all this, none of this would have happened. But I had hesitated. Even now, I couldn't be certain if my hesitati

    Yesterday afternoon, my dad called and demanded that I make a decision within two days, or they would take action.I felt cornered because I genuinely didn't know how to talk to Queenie about this. The mere idea of her packing her belongings and leaving, accompanied by the unspeakable anguish it would inflict upon me, was a burden too heavy to bear.I wasn't sure if I could ever have a semblance of normality in my life again after that.So, I gathered some friends to drink with me. I drank heavily because I had made a decision—a disgraceful, heartless decision. The thought of what I would have to face the next day made life seem hopeless, so I drank even more.Before losing consciousness, I handed my car keys to my assistant, using my last bit of clarity to tell him to take me home no matter what state I was in.Even if it meant returning to the Hayes family's residence, he should not leave me out on the streets. Despite the imminent breakup, I wanted to part ways with Queenie in

    My mom proved to be even more ruthless than my dad. She found me, dropped to her knees without a word, and begged me. She reminded me of the years they had spent raising me, pleading that I ensure they wouldn't be left without a sense of security in their old age.In essence, they were pressuring me to abandon everything. I was to pursue money and power for their sake, secure the Hayes family's head position, and ensure our grip on wealth and influence. Their priority was maintaining their luxurious, elevated lifestyle. My happiness, my desires—whether I even wanted those things—meant nothing to them. Sometimes, it felt like I was nothing more than a tool for achieving their ambitions.My dad told me bluntly that he would go after Queenie if I didn't comply. He said, "You're right. I'm incapable of outmaneuvering your uncle. But no matter how incompetent I am, I can easily make Queenie's life in Harveyton unbearable."To be honest, that day was the coldest my heart had ever felt
