It seemed that Colin had completely glossed over my request for him to come pick me up and was more concerned about the fact that I was riding with Ivan.

I could almost picture the look of jealousy on Colin's face as I read his response. I chuckled, thinking, "Goodness, with Colin's jealous streak, I doubt I'll ever befriend another man."

I typed, "I just ran into him, that's all."

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the gates," Colin responded.

As I lifted my head, I noticed Ivan observing me with a smile on his face. His expression was inscrutable as he said, "Chatting with your boyfriend, huh? Mr. White seems like a great guy—smart, talented, and handsome to boot.

"And you, a real dazzler among women. If there was a match made in heaven, it'd be you two! I bet he treats you real nice, doesn't he?"

"Yes, Colin is extremely good to me. He's the only person in this world who loves me as much as my dad, if not more," I emphasized, trying to convey how special Colin was to me.

    I wanted to tell my mom that I was almost done with my studies and would soon be a master's student of Jesselton College.However, after deliberation, I decided against it because I doubted they cared. After all, their main concern was for me to ask fewer questions, not actually to encourage me to study.The day before Mardi Gras, my curiosity got the best of me. Being excluded from my mom's secret planning felt particularly uncomfortable. So, I asked Colin if he knew anything about the big plans our moms seemed to be cooking up. I couldn't take how their conspiring had noticeably increased and their knowing smiles were becoming more unsettling.Colin was standing at his desk, one hand behind his back and the other holding a pen. He was writing with an air of calm authority. He looked up, his expression serious. "Let them conspire all they want. It's not like they'll sell us off or anything."His nonchalant response made me pause. The more I thought about it, the more sense it ma

    Both Mom and I were in a distracted state, and we exchanged words for about 15 minutes until her phone chimed. She checked the message, then waved her hand, signaling that I could leave.The incredulity of the situation was baffling. After all, she was inside my bedroom acting like she owned it.Feeling frustrated and curious, I reluctantly opened the door and stepped out.However, the moment I opened the door, I was stunned. A sea of dazzling red roses filled the living room, covering every available surface. The air was thick with the sweet, intoxicating scent of roses, making my heart race.Memories of my birthday flooded back to me when Colin filled an entire hotel room with roses. But today, he had outdone himself.Amidst the roses, I saw the man I loved. He was dressed impeccably, looking as dashing as ever and full of deep affection for me. The world fell silent. It seemed as if only the two of us existed at that moment.Someone turned off the lights, and for a brief momen

    Being proposed to in front of our parents made me blush with embarrassment, and for a moment, I felt somewhat at a loss.I had read countless novels and seen many proposals in stories. But experiencing it myself, I realized the depth of emotion that could make one willingly give their whole life to someone.Hannah clapped her hands and chanted, "Say yes! Say yes!"The soft glow of candlelight enveloped us, illuminating our faces with a warm radiance. Colin stood before me, his eyes shimmering with anticipation.My nose tingled as a surge of emotion filled my chest. A sweet, overwhelming joy rose within me. It was a happiness born of love and contentment. Colin was the love of my life, and there was no way I would refuse his proposal. Besides, I had made up my mind long ago. No matter how the world might change or if it were to crumble around us, I would marry Colin and no one else. I had already promised myself to him."I do," I said firmly, my voice filled with conviction.C

    Felix chuckled and found the light switch, flicking it on. "How could you be so clumsy?" he teased but then asked more gently, "Is your foot okay?""It's fine. This is my first time witnessing and participating in a proposal ceremony. It's such a joyous occasion that I'm too happy to care about a little pain. Besides, it didn't really hurt me, so no worries," Hannah replied cheerfully.Everyone burst out laughing at that."Lulu, today is the happiest day I've had in seven years. You're now part of our family, and Colin has finally found the woman he loves. It's simply wonderful," Aunt Mel said, wiping her eyes until the skin around them turned red.She continued, "I did a lot of terrible things back then, and you and Colin suffered because of that. I wish I could make up for it with my life. For the past two years, I've lived in fear, worried that my actions would keep you two apart. If that had happened, I'd never be able to forgive myself."Aunt Mel raised her head and looked at

    The proposal was a great success. After some playful banter, everyone gradually dispersed.Hannah naturally followed Felix back to the Whites' family home—not the one across the street but the old family house.Aunt Mel had declared that the house across the street was reserved for us as they didn't want to intrude.It was nearly midnight when we finished tidying up the living room. Fireworks continued to explode outside, heralding the arrival of Mardi Gras.My dad, barely able to keep his eyes open, stubbornly sat on the couch. He kept glaring at Colin, which amused me to no end.Annoyed by his action, my mom grabbed him by the ear and dragged him to their room. Even as he struggled, he mumbled about wanting Colin to go back to the house across the street."They're practically married now. Why do you care so much? You're such a busybody. If you don't get to bed by the count of five, you'll be sleeping on the couch forever," Mom threatened.With his keen senses, my dad quickly g

    Seeing me lying there in my birthday suit, Colin's gaze deepened like the depths of a fathomless lake."I'm a little cold," I said, reaching for the blanket to cover myself.Colin swiftly pressed himself against me, his kisses raining down on me like a storm battering a sailboat lost at sea. We spent the night wrapped in each other's arms, and only at daybreak did we find rest.I was awakened by the sound of fireworks on the day of Mardi Gras. Colin was already up, bustling around the house shirtless and preparing something in the kitchen that filled the air with a delightful aroma.My body ached from the night's exertions. I felt too lazy to get up, so I rolled around in bed.As I opened my phone, a flurry of notification chimes filled the air, all from friends and classmates sending their Mardi Gras greetings.It was then I realized that the day before was not only the day Colin proposed but also the eve of Mardi Gras. We were so caught up in our emotions that we forgot to cele

    "What's wrong with you? You need to lighten up, got it? If you keep this up, the three of us will head over to the house across the street and leave you here to sulk alone," my mom scolded.Thanks to her intervention, my dad finally managed a slight smile at the dinner table. The meal proceeded without any further incident.Just as we finished eating, Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel arrived, accompanied by Hannah and Felix. They carried a variety of packages.The elders chatted while the four of us youngsters sat and listened.Aunt Mel announced, "Harper, yesterday was Colin's day, and we were overjoyed by his successful proposal. So, today, Austin and I are here to formalize this union by presenting the betrothal gifts. Let's set aside all past grievances and start anew."Colin is incredibly lucky to marry such a wonderful woman like Lulu, and from now on, we'll treat her as our own daughter. These gifts may not be many or expensive, but they come from the heart."Everyone's gaze turn

    That evening, I returned home in a sour mood. Colin noticed immediately and asked what was wrong. I recounted Nico's refusal to co-author the paper. Colin seemed unsurprised, reminding me that Nico was simply that type of person, and there was no need to insist."But how can that be okay? The lab's success is largely due to Nico's efforts. It's not right for him to lay the foundation only for me to take the credit. If he refuses to co-author the report, I simply won't publish it," I said, pouting in frustration.Colin couldn't help but laugh at our predicament. He likened us to two overly studious individuals with a curious affliction—one stubbornly refusing to co-author the report, the other relentlessly insisting upon it. Any other person would have taken the opportunity to claim all the credit, but we were pushing it away.In truth, it wasn't about pushing credit away but rather about fairness. We had agreed from the start that any success would be shared between us. I was unwa

    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
