The day my father jumps to his death, I'm taken in by Scout Saccone, an influential scion. He treats me like a princess for eight years, turning me into the target of everyone's envy. However, everything changes when he walks right into a trap and has a wild night with me after being drugged. I can't stop myself from confessing my deep-seated love for him when at the peak of my flame. To my devastation, he thinks I drugged him to have my way with him. He berates me for being shameless and hedonistic. The following day, he announced his impending marriage to his childhood sweetheart. Everyone thinks I'll kick up a fuss as I've always done, but I merely take a pill to end my pregnancy. Then, I leave without a word on his wedding day.

Wilted Petals of Love Chapter 6
In the struggle, Scout and I both fell to the ground, and I couldn't help but cry out in pain.The injury on my head from before had never been properly treated. Even after careful care upon returning to Aralea, it hadn't fully healed. Standing for too long still made me feel dizzy.Scout cautiously tried to check where I was hurt, but I pulled away. Still, he caught a glimpse of the scar on my forehead, and his eyes filled with anguish.I had been using a scar cream on it, so it wasn't as frightening as it once was. I simply got up quickly and walked away.Behind me, I heard Scout's desperate cries. "Nora, I swear, I'll make sure you come back to me!"But, just like he did that day, I didn't stop nor look back.After that day, Scout began finding every excuse imaginable to be near me. This time, it was him chasing after me.He waited around when I had work, and he stayed by my side when I rested. Even though I had given strict orders for him not to approach, he always found a w

Our housekeeper, Natalie Hudson, was unaware of the tension. She introduced me to Scout with a cheerful smile."Mr. Scout, this is Ms. Graham, the young lady of the house. She recently returned from Hare City. Perhaps you've met before?"Scout pressed his lips tightly together. He was staring at me without saying a word. After a moment of awkward silence, he finally spoke."Nora, it's been a while."That one word—Nora—pulled me back to the days I spent in the Saccone family.Why had he come to this wine-tasting event? Was it deliberate, or was it just for business?I was momentarily confused, but I quickly regained my composure. After all, as the leader of Hare City's elite circles, Scout attending high-profile events like this wasn't unusual.Why should I overthink it and trouble myself unnecessarily? With that thought, I responded with deliberate detachment."Mr. Scout, your presence at this event truly elevates the occasion."Perhaps my smile was too distant because Scout's

Unlike my usual trips away, this time, I knew I wouldn't be coming back.I closed my eyes in the airport lounge, pretending to rest, while overhearing endless chatter about the great Mr. Scout's grand wedding. It seemed the entire Hare City was abuzz."Did you hear? Halfway through the wedding, Mr. Scout called it off!"I was stunned upon hearing this.Wasn't he deeply in love with Maya? Why would he call off the wedding?"They say the family butler whispered something to him, and Mr. Scout immediately dropped everything and ran out."Ms. Walker tried to stop him but got slapped instead. The once-glamorous fiancée of Mr. Scout has now become the city's laughingstock."This sounded like one of those baseless rumors cooked up by people in Hare City's elite circles to pass the time.Scout, though often arrogant, valued the Saccone family's reputation above all else. He would never act so recklessly.But what could Segun have said to him? Could it have been about my disappearance?

Even after all that, I couldn't resist the greed of wanting to see Scout one last time, even though I knew the person marrying him would never be me.I wanted to put an end to the eight years of feelings and the intimacy we shared that night.The next day, Maya suddenly came to see me. She said that Scout was hosting a banquet."Nora, I know you have a lot of misunderstandings about me, but it's alright. Soon, I'll officially be Scouttie's wife. I'll take care of you together with him from now on."Wear this dress and head to the front hall. Don't make Scouttie angry," she said.I glanced at the dress—it wasn't anything special, just an ordinary evening gown.It was nothing like the meticulous outfits Scout used to personally prepare for me for every important event. This dress fell far short of those.But at this point, I knew better than to expect too much. Not wanting to be late and risk upsetting Scout, I hurried to the front hall. I arrived just as the guests began to fill

I struggled to speak. "Scouttie…"Scout's cold gaze swept toward me. "Nora, mind your place. You should address me as Mr. Scout!"Maya gently patted his shoulder, soothing him. "Alright, don't bother arguing with Nora. After all, she's just a kid."She then wrapped her arm around Scout before leaning against him. The icy expression on Scout's face instantly softened into warmth.That gaze had once followed me so tenderly. But after that night, I never saw it again.Scout left the study with Maya in his arms, but their intimate figures lingered painfully in my mind.As we were heading downstairs, Maya suddenly stopped. "Nora, I have an appointment with the bridal shop in a bit. Get ready to join us, okay?"I nodded blankly again. As an orphan, I had no right to refuse the future lady of the household's request.I waited with the driver, Hank Smith, at the entrance while Scout and Maya arrived fashionably late. They were chatting and laughing, and the sight of it stung me all ove

After having shared a wild night with Scout Saccone, I received a wedding invitation from him the day after.The couple on the cover were leaning against each other. The sight of it pierced my heart. I immediately crushed the tie in my hand into a ball and tossed it into the trash can beside me.Before I could turn around and offer my congratulations, a sharp, playful voice rang in my ears. "Scouttie, take it easy. There's still someone else here."The blood in my veins froze as I stiffly turned around. There, I saw Scout walking in with his arm around Maya Walker's slim body.The accessories he wore—weren't they the ones I had painstakingly chosen for his birthday?A bitterness filled my heart, and I couldn't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes. Before Maya, "Scouttie" was a name that belonged only to me.As the Saccone family heir and third in line in the Saccone hierarchy, he wielded enormous influence in the Hare City's circle.
