All Chapters of Where Snow Can't Follow: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In a moment, I felt like all the wind had been taken out of my sails. All the times we fought seemed like nothing but a joke.Wrapping my wet jacket closer around my body, a single thought began to sprout and take root in my mind. I wanted to go somewhere warm.A place with no winter, no snow… And no Lucas. -I blocked all of Lucas' contacts, including his friends.Out of the blue, a message popped up from an unknown number. It was Lulu Harper, the woman Lucas got engaged with. "Lucas is engaged with me now, and you have no idea how much he dotes on me. If I were you, I'd back off and save myself some dignity."He used to hate your guts, you know? Every time he met you, he'd buy me a gift to make it up to me! Everything you have, I have too, and more!"Stop buzzing around him like a fly, and I won't tell everyone that you tried to seduce my man." Lulu Harper was the ditzy, clumsy little assistant that was always fumbling around and making mistakes around Lucas. Petite and f

Looking out the window, the warm summer breeze carried away my exhaustion along with the lingering chill of Atlantia. What a lovely place. "Tony's house is currently under renovation, so you're going to have to stay at my place for a few days. Your room's ready for you, so just go upstairs. It's the second room on the right, and it's right across from my room."The room had a great view with a huge floor-to-ceiling window, but the décor was… Something else.Pink. Everywhere. I wouldn't even be surprised if I saw a rainbow unicorn somewhere. What, did he think I was a child?In any case, I was too tired to play the straight man, so I freshened up and collapsed on the bed.In my dreams, I returned to the day when I first met Lucas in high school. He leaned on the windowsill, wearing headphones as he read a book. The wind rustled the trees outside, tousling his hair and the hem of his snow-white shirt. It was like a scene straight out of a movie.Back then, the girls silently

As I rushed upstairs, I couldn't shake the feeling of his gaze lingering on my back.The next morning, Charles came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes. "Sir, did you pull an all-nighter writing that report?" I asked, surprised. Was writing a report actually really hard for him?"Just call me Charles when we're at home."I lowered my head and continued eating, trying not to laugh at him.That morning, he wore sunglasses to the company. In the break room, everyone gathered around me, gossiping. "Susan, what's up with Mr. Lawson today?" "Who knows? Maybe he just wanted to change up his style."-Finally, it was my day off. Charles wanted to be a proper host, take me sightseeing, and treat me to some good food. Just as I got in his Maybach, I got a call from an unknown number back home. No one other than my parents, close family and my lawyer should have had this number, so I picked up.On the other end was Lulu's sobbing voice. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Susan,

"I only did that to get you to meet me! We were so good in the past, so I thought you'd always be by my side."I stopped in my tracks, turning to look at him as if he told a particularly funny joke. "Don't act like you care all of a sudden, Lucas. You knew what I was bothered about, yet you kept on pushing my boundaries. Now you're all miserable, and I've become some sort of petty villainess in your story. Well, if you didn't care, then just forget it!"I can forget you no problem, and I'm sure you can forget all about me, so don't come see me ever again. Can't you spare me this last shred of dignity?"Lucas didn't follow this time.This country was warm all year round, yet he felt like he was sinking helplessly into an endless frigid sea. As her silhouette blurred into the distance, he thought back to the past.They went through high school and university together. Back then, her smile was even brighter than the sun, and when she confessed to him, his heart skipped a beat.At so

In the end, Charles kissed me. By the time he let go, my legs went weak. - Just like that, we were officially together. During the new year, both our families gathered for dinner. Charles, whose mouth was once laced with poison, had now switched to endlessly spouting praise and sweet words, no matter the time, the place, nor the target.Once my parents found out his target was me and not Tony, they changed their attitudes towards him completely. The most excited ones, however, were Charles' parents. They'd long since accepted the fact that their son, who'd been rebellious for more than half of his life, would end up an eternal bachelor, so this was nothing short of a holiday surprise for them. I received enough gifts that it was almost overwhelming. In a sense, this was a bountiful holiday season. The only one who treated this with complete calm was my brother, who looked at Charles with a scrutinizing gaze. "Tony, when did you find out that Charles had a crush on me?"
