The professor slumped into his chair and let out a deep sigh after finishing his words.

What a tactic he was using!

The other two lecturers in the same office looked at Colin and me with a mix of envy, worry, and sympathy.

I could only cry in frustration in my heart. The professor had labeled me as a stumbling block.

But I wasn't. I was just an ordinary young woman who wanted to live a simple life.

Why was I being accused like that by the professor? I was just trying to see if it was possible to turn it down. It didn't mean that Colin would definitely reject the offer. Was it really necessary to get so angry?

Getting angry was bad for the old man's health. He had to take care of himself. And all this frowning and glaring wasn't going to help the teamwork among the faculty.

Although, to be fair, what the professor said was mostly true—except for the exaggerations.

Fine, as youths of the new era, we had to do our best.

    I knew that I had done a great job on that project, but there was no need for them to be so exaggerated.I thanked them multiple times to calm down the heightened atmosphere in the classroom.After class, as I followed the crowd out, some of my fellow classmates came over to chat with me. They said they were my fans and they wished to learn from me in the future, making me feel a little embarrassed.I had planned to go to Crystal House to paint in the afternoon. Colin was so busy that he only sent a text asking me to have lunch by myself. So, I decided not to go home for lunch and just grab something at the cafeteria.As the weather turned colder, I felt a chill in my stomach after I ran to the cafeteria. So, I ordered a bowl of hot minestrone soup.Just as I was about to eat after finding a relatively quiet spot, another person sat down across from me.Looking up, I didn't expect to see Winston's sour face. He stared straight at me with a fierce gaze, making me put down my spoon

    Actually, after we had a barbecue together the last time, Jade and I discussed Zara and Chris. Both of us felt that they were not a good match for each other.Zara was the outgoing type of woman. She was warm and treated others sincerely. She practiced kickboxing since she was young and even won second place in a junior competition for two consecutive seasons. If it weren't for her injury, she might have become a professional kickboxer now.But Chris seemed to be the opposite. He was indifferent and aloof, as if he wasn't aware that he was Zara's boyfriend. He always treated her coldly.Even someone slow like me could see that Chris was not really into Zara. They stayed together solely because Zara was holding on to their relationship.At that time, I didn't understand why Zara, who had a strong personality, could be so persistent in this one-sided relationship. In my opinion, it wasn't worth it at all. I even wanted to tell her to leave Chris.There would always be someone who wa

    Never had I imagined that the easygoing, decisive Zara could be blinded by love. She forsook her own dignity for a man who didn't even love her. I was so mad that I slapped my knees out of frustration."And you know what? Faye then claimed that she felt sick and threw herself into Chris' embrace. That fucker then abandoned everyone and sent her to the hospital. He was missing for three whole days. Zara called and texted him, but he never replied."Can you imagine how mad I was? I was there. If my mom hadn't stopped me, I would've kicked and slapped Chris to death."I felt the same too. A toxic boyfriend like him should be slapped and kicked away. He should be locked away with his shameless childhood friend so that they would not pollute the dating pool."Zara broke up with him, yeah? Good. She doesn't need a man who stood her up during an important talk about their marriage.""Chris sent Faye to the hospital, and the doctor said that she was allergic to the fabric she was wearing.

    Early December sounded very far away, but it was just next week. For some reason, I had an ominous feeling regarding Colin's new project. Something inside me hoped that he would turn it down because I felt like I was about to lose something.I could only tell myself this bad feeling came from my reluctance to be ignored by Colin when he was busy with work. Surely, it had nothing to do with my sixth sense. Nevertheless, I felt on edge.I found my self-contradiction rather amusing at times. Colin always came home late. I had tried many times to stay up to talk to him and to go to bed with him together. But it never worked. I would doze off before he reached home.And for once, Colin came home early. We kissed and cuddled, yet sleep eluded me as I lay on the bed. To make sure neither of us got carried away by our urges, I silently distanced myself from him. There was now a one-foot gap between us.I knew how frustrated Colin was. He hugged the love of his life to sleep every night, ye

    Of course, some were happy that Colin and I were moving out. Andrew, for example.We moved out on December 2nd. Lincoln University should be covered in snow while in Jinovy, it was around seven or eight degrees. We had to wear wool jackets or winter coats.Queenie and I were wearing baggy wool jumpers as we carried the things downstairs. It was exhausting, but we never stopped.Colin wanted to hire a moving company, but Queenie said that since we rented an apartment and all we had were our clothes and some daily necessities, the four of us could carry them as they weren't heavy. There was no need to spend money to hire a moving company.Besides, she said that carrying things out felt more fun. Andrew and I agreed with her, so Colin relented. Indeed, we did not have a lot of things to carry. It only took all of us two to three trips to load everything onto Colin's and Andrew's cars.As we were about to leave, several students came and offered their help enthusiastically since they

    I rolled my eyes. Another scumbag? He flirted with other women yet thought he did nothing wrong. He thought he was just being a good friend, and he gaslit his girlfriend so that he could continue his behavior.What had the world become? How could someone in the wrong guilt-trip the victim while the victim had to swallow it all or risk being called petty? This man's girlfriend should break up with him. He wasn't worthy of her love."Zara, I'm telling you one last time. I can forget about the past. As long as you ask me to come back to you, I'll arrange a meeting between our parents to talk about our marriage. I'll treat you well. But you need to know that Faye is my childhood friend. She's my responsibility."You'll take care of her like I do now."Wait. Zara? So the guy was Chris?Before I could ask, the woman standing next to him suddenly sobbed.

    Faye was momentarily stunned. Then, she rushed to Chris' side while calling his name and sobbing. I watched with my mouth agape, shocked at how much the couple cared for each other. They sure loved each other deeply."How dare you hit me?""Because you had it coming. You played with a woman's feelings and were unrepentant about it. This serves you right.""Stay out of my business." Chris spat out a mixture of blood and saliva. Then, he scowled. "How dare you hit me, Winston? I'm telling on you.""Pfft, why can't I hit a two-timing guy like you? Telling my dad on me is all you can do, Chris. Go ahead. Tell my dad what happened here. Maybe I should do it instead. He should know what you've done too, you filthy animal."The superhero who intervened was Winston? Why did he intervene? Who was he to Chris? Why did he ask me about Zara? Who exactly was Winston?"You have one minute, Chris. Disappear or I'll cripple one of your legs. You know I can do it," Winston threatened while squint

    Winston Moyer, Chris Moyer. I should have noticed the similarity in their last name. I never thought that they were related. I was such a klutz."So, you're the brother of a scumbag. I hope two-timing doesn't run in your blood." I walked around him and shook my head disapprovingly.Winston blushed right away. He wanted to say something, but nothing could be formulated out of his mouth. He could only repeat, "N-No, I'm not like that."Even the eloquent Winston would find himself stammering one day!"So, why did you ask me about Zara? Come clean now. If you lie, I'll give you hell."Winston tensed up. The nonchalance on him disappeared, replaced by seriousness. "Zara is blind. Why would she fall for a douchebag like Chris? I didn't want her to get hurt, that's all.""Really? That's all?" I raised my brows and questioned him."Yes, that's all," he nodded and reaffirmed."Then why are you blushing?" Winston's face immediately turned even redder.Back in the room, several students

    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
