Caspian stepped into his quiet home, the stillness of the late night wrapping around him. The clock in the living room read 2 a.m., and he had just finished dealing with a mountain of work.

As he closed the door, he noticed someone sitting on the family room sofa. Alaric was waiting patiently, his attention focused on the phone in his hands. The moment he heard Caspian’s footsteps, he looked up.

“Why are you still awake?” Caspian asked as he removed his jacket.

Alaric set his phone down on the table, his expression serious. “I was waiting for you to get home. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”

Curious, Caspian walked over to the sofa across from him, tossing his jacket casually over the backrest. He loosened the tie that had been strangling him all evening.

“What is it you want to talk about?” he asked, his tone relaxed even as his sharp eyes studied his son.

Alaric took a deep breath before answering. “I am eager to join your company. I think working there will give me t

    Caspian, with his mind entangled with haunting memories of the past, drove his car at a moderate speed towards home.When he arrived home, he went straight to his bedroom. Opening the extensive wardrobe, he sifted through the neatly organized contents. His eyes landed on a black box tucked away in the back.Carefully, Caspian pulled out the box. As he opened it, an exasperated sigh escaped his lips. Inside the large blue velvet box were various belongings of his late wife—old shoes, purses, and small items that held countless memories.Anger flared within him. He should have discarded those items long ago, when he first tried to let go of the past. Yet, without realizing it, one box had remained hidden in the wardrobe.He questioned himself—was this an oversight on his part, or had someone deliberately kept it there?Irritated, Caspian pulled out his phone and called the elderly woman responsible for cleaning his house.“Yes, Mr. Caspian?” The woman’s voice was gentle and respectful,

    Alaric sat hunched over, his hands massaging his throbbing temples. The spaciousness of his office felt suffocating.His vacant gaze rested on the large window overlooking the bustling city below. But the view did nothing to soothe his troubled heart. The mountain of work and last night’s argument with Selene loomed over his thoughts, refusing to let go.He sighed softly, his breath swallowed by the monotonous hum of the air conditioning. Deep down, he longed to escape. To go somewhere far away, anywhere he could breathe fresh air and leave his problems behind. But that desire remained a fleeting fantasy.Life had been easier before. Alaric used to come to work whenever he pleased. Being late didn’t matter. There was always someone else to handle his responsibilities. The credit card Caspian had given him was his golden ticket to a luxurious lifestyle—dining at the finest restaurants, traveling wherever he desired.But those days were gone.Now, Caspian no longer treated him like a sp

    Caspian and Cassandra had just changed clothes. Cassandra had swapped her white gown for a simple dress, while Caspian wore a casual shirt with rolled-up sleeves. They were chatting casually when Caspian’s secretary, Cedric, entered the room carrying a medium-sized box.“What’s this, Cedric?” Caspian asked, raising an eyebrow at the box.Cedric approached, holding out the box with both hands. “Mr. Damian asked me to deliver this to you, Mr. Caspian.”Caspian tilted his head, his expression puzzled. “Damian sent me something? What is it?”“I’m not sure. Mr. Damian mentioned you’d definitely like what’s inside,” Cedric replied matter-of-factly. Before leaving, he added, “Oh, I saw Mr. Alaric in the parking lot. He looked upset.”Caspian scoffed lightly, his voice laced with derision. “Leave the wild child alone. He still can’t accept that I’m marrying Cassandra.”He placed the box on the table and began opening it. Cassandra, standing beside him, leaned in curiously.As the lid came off

    Cassandra Winter thought this day would be the beginning of new happiness. In one month, she would be engaged to Alaric, the man of her dreams. But all those hopes were shattered instantly. Who could have imagined that her future fiancé was having an affair — and not with just any woman, but with her best friend, Selene?The heartache tore through her soul like a sharp knife stabbing inward. Cassandra stood in the doorway of the apartment, her eyes wide open at the sight of Alaric and Selene locked in a passionate embrace. They felt no guilt whatsoever, as if the world was theirs alone. Not a word escaped Alaric's lips as she walked away — no attempt to follow her, as if her departure was meaningless.“Give me another glass,” Cassandra said, her voice drowned out by the crowded bar. She ignored the concerned look of the bartender, who saw her chugging tequila like a drunk.Today, her red dress, which clung to her body perfectly, seemed worthless, like a hope that had now been dashed

    Cassandra's fingers clawed at Caspian's bare back every time the man above her moved with passionate intensity. She could feel Caspian's tanned skin sweat under her touch, and she was sure that her hoof scratches would leave a mark.Pain radiated through her private parts as he entered without foreplay, leaving her breathless. As a quarter of her consciousness returned, Cassandra found herself caught up in feelings of regret for the nonsense she had spoken. However, her decision to proceed was deeply rooted in her soul. There was no going back-they were both striving for the fulfillment they craved.“Look at me, Cass,” Caspian whispered softly into Cassandra's ear as his hand wiped away the sweat that was running down her forehead.Cassandra, who had closed her eyes earlier due to the pain, finally opened them. She found concern in Caspian's dark eyes.“We can stop the game right here if your body can't handle my presence,” Caspian said, his tone fading as if he were eager to stop eve

    Breakfast with Selene was still fresh in his mind — her smile, the laughter echoing among the aroma of coffee and warm toast. Alaric expected today to be like the days before, peaceful and uninterrupted. But as he stepped out of the car, an unexpected sight changed everything.At the end of the parking lot, Alaric saw a familiar figure. His father had just arrived, and beside him walked a familiar woman, but whose presence darkened the skies of Alaric's heart. His eyebrows shot up, confusion and fear creeping in. He clutched his briefcase tightly, as if it were the only thing keeping him from exploding.“She must have been complaining about my affair with Selene,” he thought, frowning as he walked quickly toward the CEO's elevator, which seemed to be getting farther and farther away. “How could Daddy be with Cassandra?” The two figures turned their heads, but instead of answering, Caspian checked his watch.“It's after hours, why are you still in the parking lot? Shouldn't you be at y

    “Aren't we just pretending to make out? What if someone comes in again?” Cassandra panicked and didn't obey Caspian's command to pull up the skirt she was wearing. Caspian looked at her flatly. “Isn't it too late to be embarrassed? Alaric will definitely not keep quiet after seeing us together. Of course not.”Cassandra nodded, realizing that Caspian's plan to upset Alaric had worked.“Alaric will surely spread bad rumors about you flirting with me. Then what else are you afraid of? Weren't you ready to accept all the consequences when you decided to take revenge on Alaric?”Hearing those words, Cassandra fell silent. “If you're embarrassed to do it here, I can understand. We can postpone it until the evening.” Caspian relented, intending to let Cassandra down from his lap.However, Cassandra hugged him instead, reluctant to be lowered by the 40-year-old man. “I'm not embarrassed. Just let them see. After all, they can't do anything to me except gossip. That gossip won't affect me.

    Caspian woke up gasping for air. Sweat drenched his sleep shirt, mingling with the warm morning air. He rubbed his face roughly, trying to shake off the lingering unease. The dream had felt so vivid, so intimate, it left his chest tight with an indescribable heaviness.In his dream, Cassandra had approached him with that sweet smile that never failed to weaken his defenses. She called his name in a soft, teasing voice before leading him to the bed. The details were blurry, but the sensations lingered, leaving his body burning despite the new day’s arrival.“This is insane,” he muttered, cursing himself. “How could I dream something like that? About Cassandra…”Caspian raked his fingers through his hair in frustration, as if trying to banish the dream from his mind. It had been two years since he first realized these strange feelings, yet instead of fading, they had only grown stronger. Cassandra didn’t just occupy his thoughts during the day; she invaded his subconscious every night.

    On his first day in Italy, Caspian just wanted to sleep. His body felt heavy after the exhausting long journey. He thought that perhaps, after enough rest, he could enjoy his vacation.But the second day didn’t go as planned. Hoping to shake off the boredom, Caspian started dating a few local women.They were beautiful, friendly, and seemed genuinely interested in him. Yet, everything felt empty. Their smiles, the lighthearted conversations at the seaside restaurant on Spiaggia dei Conigli, even the nights that ended in his hotel room—all of it was nothing more than a meaningless routine.“This is just a waste of time,” he muttered softly on his balcony, gazing at the rolling waves in the distance.Four days passed, and Caspian had had enough. Spiaggia dei Conigli hadn’t given him the joy he’d hoped for. In a sudden decision, he booked a ticket home.Working remotely had seemed enjoyable at first. But it had only deepened the void that had haunted him for so long.***At three in the

    Caspian let out a long sigh, both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel of the car. He had just left Cassandra's house, but his mind was far from calm. Throughout the journey, Maxian's voice kept echoing in his mind.“If you're not careful, you'll lose everything. Not just Cassandra.”Alaric's relationship with Selene was a huge dilemma. Caspian knew that Selene was not a good woman for Alaric. But he had no right to intervene.Caspian sighed softly. If he separated Alaric from Selene, he was afraid that the crack would bring Cassandra back into Alaric's arms. And that was a risk Caspian couldn't afford to take.Every decision he made always came down to one reason. Cassandra was at the center of everything.Memories came rushing back like an uninvited cold wind. That day, at Alaric University, it all began.Caspian chuckled in annoyance as he glanced at his watch. Two hours had passed since he arrived at the business faculty, waiting for a meeting with the dean. Normally, he wou

    “Caspian, I need you to take me home,” Cassandra's voice sounded sharp, breaking the silence in the living room. She stood by the window, her arms folded across her chest, and her face staring out, as if reluctant to meet Caspian's eyes.Caspian, who was holding the car keys, stopped his movement. He wrinkled his forehead, his eyes full of questions. “You really want to go home, not because you're still angry and misunderstanding me, right?”Cassandra sighed loudly, closing her eyes for a moment. “No, I'm not. I'm not angry. I just want to go home. Maxian might come here if I don't go home now.” Caspian folded his arms, standing tall before her. “Is that your reason? Or do you just want to run away?”Cassandra turned her head, her jaw hardening. “Run away from what, from whom? You're too confident.”“I pointed out that I never loved her. I even burned all her belongings to make you believe me,” Caspian retorted matter-of-factly. He came closer, his eyes piercing, trying to penetrate
