Leave Me Alone

Percival could see that Eulalia was in a foul mood, so he changed the subject, "Do you want to hire a maid to take care of you, now that you're home alone?""I don't need one. I can take care of myself," Eulalia responded listlessly, sipping her soup with a lack of interest."You can choose the maid yourself. Having someone to talk to at home could be good for you." He genuinely cared for Eulalia's wellbeing, aware that her mental state hadn't fully recovered yet, displaying a tendency towards self-isolation that needed addressing.With his unavoidable obligations, he couldn't be by her side at all times. He hadn't been to his company for a month, leaving a pile of documents needing his signature and social obligations that required his presence.After her discharge from the hospital, Eulalia had changed; the once gentle and soft demeanor now occasionally erupted in unexplained fits of anger.Before her illness, a frustrated Eulalia would merely scoff at Percival, but now, she would r

Who's That Guy

Eulalia didn’t say a word, not even sparing Percival a glance.“Eulalia, didn’t you used to beg me to accompany you to social events?”“That was then,” she retorted.Back in the day, Eulalia was head over heels for Percival. Marrying him felt like hitting the jackpot, and she couldn’t wait to show him off everywhere they went.Eulalia thought her words would anger Percival. To her surprise, he stared at her for a moment, his expression unreadable, before breaking into a gentle smile. “There’s a bidding event next week. You’re coming with me.”It wasn’t a request but a firm command, a way to quash her momentary rebellious streak.Percival, accustomed to wielding power, believed that a firm hand was needed when dealing with people like Eulalia. A slap followed by a sugar cube, so to speak. If that didn’t work, he’d keep slapping until it did. After all, who doesn’t remember pain?Eulalia shot Percival a sidelong glance, catching a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.As they got out of the

Is That Man Really Your Husband?

(Content Advisory: The concluding section of this chapter includes graphic depictions of violence involving a rat.)Upon hearing that it was just some worthless fool, Percival couldn’t help but snort. “What kind of waves can a fool make?”Still, he didn’t like the way Vincent was looking at Eulalia. That gaze felt like someone was peeping into his hidden treasures, and just with that look, he felt like Eulalia was tainted.Vincent happily took the cake, but his mood plummeted when he saw that every kid around had one. He thought Eulalia had brought it just for him.Vincent had so much to say to Eulalia but didn’t know where to start. He was socially awkward due to his years of loneliness.Eulalia looked more worn out than before. He wondered what had happened during the month she was missing. Was she sick? Hospitalized?Before he could ask, he felt a piercing, icy gaze. Looking up, he met Percival’s

He Really Wants to Kill That Man

The scissors were all rusty, uncomfortable to hold, and slightly prickly against the palm. Vincent stepped on therat, his eyes turning icy. With a swift jab, he plunged the rusty scissors into the rat’s neck. Surprisingly, the worn-out tool pierced right through the rodent’s head, leaving a pool of blood.Vincent stared at the dead rat beneath his foot, his expression turning sinister.Eulalia, witnessing this, felt a chill run up her spine. It was eerie.Vincent emotionlessly picked up the dead rat with the scissors and tossed it into a trash can.He turned back to Eulalia, his menacing aura vanishing, replaced by his usual goofy demeanor. ”Lala, anything you’re afraid of, I can take care of for you. People included.”Eulalia saw a glint of something dark in his eyes. She couldn’t understand why Vincent could exude such a terrifying aura. A flash of fear crossed her mind.It was as if she had accidentally opened a cage, and inside was a ferocious beast now eyeing her intently.The ne

It's a Date

Percival didn’t ask any more questions. He already knew the specifics of where they met and how from his therapist.Eulalia’s reluctance to bring it up was a good thing, he thought. He was afraid that talking about it might trigger something for her.“Eulalia, my memory isn’t the best, and I’ve forgotten a lot from the past. But I promise to treat you well from now on. Let’s not keep looking back, okay? Let the past be the past...”“What right do you have to talk to me about the future, Percival? Some things can’t just be brushed off with a simple ‘let it go’!”If people could just say ‘let it go’ and everything would be fine, what would be the point of laws? Percival was the last person who had the right to say that.She was grateful for their encounter sixteen years ago, but now she regretted it too. She didn’t understand why loving someone had to be this pa

Do You Know How I Got Sick

Percival’s way of comforting people is like how you’d soothe a kitten or a puppy. To him, Eulalia’s furious outbursts are as harmless as a puff of air.“Who’s making a fuss with you?”“Alright, alright, you’re not fussing. Let’s eat. If you don’t want the candied hawthorns, fine, I won’t buy them for you anymore.” He had thought Eulalia really liked them.---Percival didn’t insist on taking Eulalia to a movie. Seeing that she wasn’t feeling great after dinner and seemed sleepy, he just took her home.As soon as they got in the car, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. Her drowsiness was a side effect of the medication prescribed by her psychiatrist. Taking too much of it wasn’t good for her health, but without it, she couldn’t manage her condition. It’s a catch-22; the medicine is a necessary evil that she has to gradually reduce.She didn’t wake up even when they got home. Percival was about to carry her inside when his fingers barely touched her waist, and she woke up.

A Moment of Awe

“What’s so great about Percival, huh? A few kind words and he’s suddenly a great guy? Not divorcing her means he loves her? Does she even care for such things?”Eulalia abruptly stood up, her aura icy and intimidating, making it hard for anyone to breathe freely.“You haven’t been through what I’ve been through, so you think he’s a good guy, huh?” She was still young, easily fooled by appearances.At this moment, Eulalia seemed to forget that she was only 24. Yet, in just four short years, she felt like she’d lived a lifetime, tasting all the flavors life had to offer.“If he was as great as you think, my life wouldn’t be this hard.”Don’t preach to others if you haven’t suffered yourself.Did Percival think that by having Zephyra, an outsider, speak well of him, all would be forgiven?Eulalia turned on the faucet to wash her hands. There’s

A Theme Park for Eulalia

"Eulalia is so stunning,” Zephyra exclaimed.Yeah, Eulalia is drop-dead gorgeous, the kind that makes women gasp and men go crazy. And this Eulalia? He wants to keep her all to himself, hidden away at home for his eyes only.Percival’s possessiveness kicked in. He didn’t want to share Eulalia with anyone, not even Zephyra, who was already in their home.As Eulalia approached, Percival suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap. The sudden intimacy made Eulalia uncomfortable. She struggled a bit, but Percival’s grip on her waist was like a shackle.Her face flushed, a stray lock of hair falling across her forehead, adding a touch of allure.Resting his chin on her rounded shoulder, Percival murmured, “I wish I could lock you up and keep you hidden forever. I don’t want anyone else to see you.”He wasn’t just saying it; he really meant it. If it weren’t for Eulalia’s health condition, he’d actually do it—keep her “locked up” at home, pampering and teasing her.He could see he

What a Schemer

He had spent 143 million on a piece of land to build an amusement park. All told, it was going to cost no less than 300million. All this effort and time, just to entertain his wife."This guy sure knew how to spoil his wife,” they said.“A match made in heaven.”“If I had been Eulalia, I probably would have fainted from happiness by then. When would I ever meet a guy like that?”Eulalia had no idea how she was being talked about at that moment. If she had, she would have just scoffed. ‘You should be thankful you’re not me,’ she would think.Diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer, her family shattered, treated like an inflatable doll—she had been living a life that was neither human nor ghost. And people envied her?Eulalia hated interviews and was terrified of camera flashes. Her already pale face had turned almost translucent under the lights. She squinted and hid behind Percival. This moment was captured and posted online as her being “shy.”Percival dealt with the reporters while

Confrontations at the Restaurant

In a luxury restaurant, a single meal could easily cost tens of thousands. The dinner Percival treated her to was at least 50,000.Back when the Clearwater Corporation was still around, Benedict had no job and relied on his shares for pocket money, or he’d ask her for some.Now that the Clearwater Corporation was gone, it was surprising to see him in a place like this. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be doing quite well these past few months.Upon seeing him, Eulalia instinctively opened her mouth to call him “brother,” but the word got stuck in her throat, like a sharp stone lodged there.Benedict was affectionately hugging a woman, and it was clear they were more than just friends.Seemingly sensing her gaze, Benedict looked up and his eyes flashed with surprise, followed by a mix of hatred and impatience.Benedict whispered something to the woman in his arms, who then looked at Eulalia disdainfully.Eulalia knew they couldn’t be saying anything good about her. Just as she w
