"I'll just let things develop naturally and try my best without leaving any regrets. Enough about me. That handsome guy of yours looks refined and powerful. He definitely has a bright future ahead."

"Wow, Ms. Johnston, I haven't met you for two months and you've already switched careers? Tell me, when will I become successful and rich?"

"Stop fooling around."

Colin called, asking us to go out and meet them at the stairwell.

When Helen and I approached, Colin and Matthew had already put out their cigarettes and were talking to each other.

Matthew had gained a little weight compared to when he was in the hospital, but he was still very thin. Looking at him from behind, it was obvious that his clothes were propped up at the shoulder blades.

Colin stood shoulder to shoulder with him, though he was slightly taller than Matthew. His tall and straight posture made him look like a pine tree standing tall in the wilderness.

Matthew was outstanding enough, but in my eyes, Colin was even b

    This cold came out of nowhere. I had a stuffy nose, dry eyes, and a scratchy throat. It was so uncomfortable."I don't want to go." I weakly refused, barely opening my eyes.I had always hated going to the hospital. The smell of disinfectant was like a nightmare to me. So, in order to avoid going to the hospital, I tried not to fall sick.But in recent years, I had been to the hospital too many times. And it was serious each time. That feeling of panic was unforgettable. Even now, just the thought of hospitals would make me squirm. So, I firmly resisted.Colin took my sweater while coaxing me to get dressed and get up. But I just rolled over and pulled the covers over myself, refusing to listen to him."Baby, when you're sick, you have to go to the hospital. If you get pneumonia, you'll have to be hospitalized. Come on, get up quickly," Colin urged.But no matter how he coaxed me, I refused to listen. He was so anxious that his eyes were turning red, and Helen was so angry that s

    Like Colin, he loved me with all his soul but had to suppress his own feelings. He even left home because of my promise to Felix.It seemed like no one had it easy when it came to love.I felt much better when I finished nearly all the pills Colin had bought for me. As my health recovered, I was excited to eat all the fried, greasy food my sick diet deprived me of. However, it became Colin's turn to fall sick.For the first time in my life, Colin was ill.He must have overworked his body from having so much on his plate lately. He had to look after me, go to school, and manage several projects simultaneously.Fortunately, the staff dormitory he stayed in allowed visitations from students.When I went to visit him, Colin was sitting on his bed. He was pale, his eyes had lost their luster, his countenance was sickly, and his nose was red. However, he still sat upright as he usually did.I knew he was trying to look as robust as possible so that I wouldn't worry about him. His thou

    It was a gloomy morning. The rain was falling as I ran out of the dorm. I didn't have an umbrella with me nor did I want to waste time running back to get one. Therefore, I braved the rain.I was eager to help Colin.The drugstore chain wasn't that far away from the campus. It was across the street in front of the college, a few blocks down the residential area, and a final turn right. The building would be there.Perhaps due to the rain, there weren't a lot of people on the street. Cars blitzed through the rain puddles, splashing pedestrians with water.The rain became heavier and heavier, so much so that it was hard to discern what was in front of me. I used both of my hands to shield my eyes from the downpour, but the rainwater was so aggressive that I struggled to open my eyes. I could only advance blindly."Watch out, Lulu!"There was a loud shriek and an ear-piercing brake. My body came into contact with something, and the pain knocked me out.I heard someone screaming for

    Where was the handsome, charming Colin that I used to know?His clothes were crinkled, his hair was messy, he was unshaven, and his eyes were bloodshot.How long had I been asleep? A century? How did Colin become an old man who looked like he had seen the terror of life?The pain in my body was unbearable. I breathed in and out to soothe the pain. Squeezing a smile, I tried to console Colin, "I'm fine. No need to be so upset. It doesn't hurt."Colin's eyes turned red. He kneeled next to me and grabbed my unwounded hand. Then, he buried his face in it silently. Before long, warm liquid flowed through the cracks between my fingers, wetting my entire hand.I had never seen Colin like this before.My palm was soaked and warm."What about Felix? How is he?" I probed gingerly.Colin lifted his head and croaked. I saw pain in his eyes. Tears still adorned the corners of his eyes. The mole under his eye was still as mesmerizing as ever.Was Colin…I sat up in disbelief. The pain clea

    I slid out of my blanket. Paying no mind to the agonizing pain in my body, I wanted to get out of bed to seek the answer.The pain made me sweat profusely.Colin pulled me into his arms tightly. He told me to behave and to rest because letting my wounds heal was more important.He also told me that Felix wasn't dead. He was in a coma in the ICU. He was still breathing.Then, he began putting all the blame on himself. He said he shouldn't have gotten sick and let me get medicine for him. He said he was the one who brought the tragedy upon Felix, that it had nothing to do with me.He hugged me. His body was trembling while his eyes were glossy with tears.All humans fell sick at least once in their lives. Colin had done nothing wrong, yet he believed that he was the reason behind the unfortunate event.Felix wasn't dead, but he wasn't conscious either. No one knew if he'd ever wake up. And no one knew what would become of him if he ever woke up.Waiting for an answer for the most

    Colin fell silent for a very long time when I told him that I wanted to visit Felix. I thought he'd dissuade me. In the end, he just patted my head and told me to wait till my wounds were healed and Felix's condition stabilized.If I insisted on going now, I would only be allowed to see Felix from the door. What was the point of visiting him if we couldn't meet in person?In the evening, Mom wanted to feed me chicken noodle soup. I tried to turn her down because I could feed myself since my right arm was not wounded. However, Mom began crying. Honestly, ever since I was hospitalized, Mom had mastered the art of summoning tears whenever.Not wanting to make my mom cry over dinner, I let her do what she wanted to do.As I chomped on the spoonful of chicken soup, I lifted my eyes and saw Matthew standing by the entrance.Looking dashing and well-groomed, he was carrying a large bouquet of baby's breath in one hand and a huge fruit basket in another. Then, he smiled at me and greeted

    I sighed internally and made sure that I did not show it on my face, pretending as if I saw nothing.Since I couldn't reciprocate Matthew's feelings, I shouldn't give him hope. I should always make this clear between us.Mom was confused but shrewd enough to notice the change in the general mood. She chose silence. She took my bowl to the pantry, out of this tense atmosphere, to wash it.As soon as Mom left, Helen came in with plenty of bags.I supposed she didn't expect Matthew to be there. When she saw him, she became anxious, nervous, and surprised. She lingered by the entrance, unsure if she should enter or give us privacy.I beckoned to her with my hand and invited her in.Then, I asked Colin, who was sitting opposite me, to sit with Matthew on the side. Helen would take his seat.Helen was an outgoing woman. Although she viewed me as a love rival, we were still very close. She freaked out when she heard that I was involved in a car accident and rushed over to visit me.Sh

    "Of course. I'm good at pairing up my close friends." I smiled smugly.Colin held me gently in his arms. He touched my forehead with his face and placed my right hand above his heart. Then, he croaked, "You silly girl, you almost scared me there. Don't act on your own again. No matter what, just let me handle everything for you."You just have to stay by my side like a princess."I found it hard to accept Colin's sudden change of mood.I mewled affirmatively and snuggled in his arms. Listening to his steady heartbeat and taking in the pine-scented cologne on him, I felt calm and safe—like a rescued kitten.Colin planted many kisses on my hair as I held his cheek. We felt the warmth from each other.It was a peaceful moment.Outside, Dad asked Mom why she didn't go inside.Mom stopped Dad and let him sit outside for a while. She said that we were having a special moment inside, so she didn't want to interrupt us.I was so embarrassed I wished I could sink into the mattress. Col

    Luna furiously scolded me, asserting that I didn't deserve Queenie's love and that Queenie had been blind to my true colors all those years. Driven mad by desperation, I chased after Queenie, determined to tell her I was wrong and plead for another chance to prove myself. However, the young man intervened, delivering a swift and punishing combination of punches and kicks that knocked me to the ground. Humiliated, I struggled to get up and fight back, unwilling to lose to another man.Despite his youthful appearance, the look in his eyes as he glanced at Queenie was undeniable. It was a blend of love, desire, and possessiveness only a man could understand.I was consumed by the thought that he wasn't worthy of my precious Queenie's love.Nevertheless, my body felt heavy and powerless. It was as if the strength had been drained from me. The blows rained down on me, bringing with them a strange sense of relief amidst the pain. Part of me yearned for him to kick me harder, inflict

    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
