111 The Burn of Whiskey

Layson swirled the whiskey in his glass, the ice clinking softly against the sides as he sat in the dimly lit bar. The sharp burn of alcohol still lingered in his throat, yet it did little to cool the irritation boiling in his chest. After leaving that dinner meeting in frustration, he had no plans to drink—until Leopold stopped him in the hallway, insisting they grab a drink together."Adela went to Florida on a business trip with Cora," Leopold announced casually, watching Layson's reaction with a smirk.Layson’s grip on the glass tightened slightly, but his expression remained unreadable. He took a slow sip, letting the whiskey slide down before setting the glass down with a quiet clink."For how long?" His voice was calm, almost indifferent, but the sharp edge in his tone didn’t escape Leopold.Leopold leaned back lazily, twirling his own glass between his fingers. "Not sure," he mused. "Could be two days, could be two weeks, maybe even longer. Depends on how things go."That was

112 His Presence in the Wind

Feelings can erupt in an instant, but they can also be extinguished just as quickly. Layson felt a dull ache in his head, and when he finally propped himself up, he realized he had been lying on the couch. The whole room smelled strongly of alcohol. He glanced at the clock—it was already 3 a.m. The stillness of the night made him feel more awake than ever.Meanwhile, Leopold Davis was jolted awake by his phone ringing. The caller ID showed Layson Norman, and it was well past three in the morning. He thought, Layson must be out of his mind, calling this late."It's three in the morning, what do you need?" Leopold mumbled, still groggy.Layson’s voice was low and a bit seductive, carrying a hint of impatience. "I need Cora's number and the address for where they’re staying in Florida."Leopold, still half asleep, didn't know how to respond to Layson’s unexpected request. Layson pressed his fingers to his temple, trying to ease the headache that had started to form. He’d been thinking ab

113 Meeting in the Rain

After arriving in the small town, Cora took Adela to a quaint workshop that had a distinct folk style. The workshop was small but filled with meticulously crafted silver jewelry. Each piece was so delicate, and Adela couldn’t help but be drawn to them, wandering around the display and admiring the craftsmanship.“These are our latest creations. There are a lot of girls in the town about to come of age, and these are gifts their families make for them. They’re sewn into the clothes, and when they turn of age, they wear them as part of their formal attire,” A gril explained, showing her the intricate designs.“Is this a tradition in your town?” Adela asked, genuinely curious.“Yes,” the girl smiled. “It’s a custom here. When the girls reach adulthood, they wear these special garments to the bridge to meet their future husbands.”Adela was fascinated. She had never encountered such a custom before, and it gave her a deeper appreciation for the cultural richness of the small town. Each pi

114 The Two in the Rain

The rain showed no signs of stopping, and it seemed to grow heavier with every passing minute. Standing in front of Layson Norman, Adela could feel the cold raindrops soaking her clothes. Despite her surprise, a part of her knew instinctively that they couldn’t just stand there in the downpour."The rain's too heavy. Let’s find some place to shelter for a bit," Adela said, her voice almost lost in the sound of the rain hitting the ground.Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed Layson's arm and started walking. He barely reacted, a small smirk playing on his lips as he allowed her to pull him along. What used to irritate him—the damp, wet days—now felt almost welcoming. Something about the rain, about being here with Adela, made everything feel strangely right.They found refuge under a roof that had been shut off for the night, a small, overhanging awning protecting them from the downpour. Adela brushed the water off her clothes, and Layson put the umbrella away, both of them sile

115 A Painful Anger

The rain had finally stopped, and out of nowhere, the sun broke through the clouds, casting a golden glow over the town. It was as if the summer sky had never been gloomy in the first place. The air smelled fresh, carrying a hint of damp earth. Adela walked alongside Layson Norman, her steps light but her thoughts heavy.She didn’t know what to say. Since his arrival, the tension between them had been unbearable. He wasn’t as cold as before, but that didn’t make things any less awkward.“When are you heading back to New York?” she finally asked, breaking the silence.Layson turned his head slightly to look at her, his sharp gaze unreadable. His steps slowed, and his expression darkened.Was she trying to get rid of him now? First, she ran away, and now she couldn’t even wait for him to leave? Her audacity was truly growing by the day.“Am I making you that uncomfortable?” His voice was low, edged with something almost dangerous.Adela immediately felt a jolt of panic, quickly waving h

116 Because of You

After returning from Florida, Adela hadn’t seen or heard from Layson Norman at all. It was as if he had vanished. Even the usual office gossip about him had completely died down. She found it strange, but more than that—she felt… unsettled.For someone who had been avoiding him for so long, she shouldn’t have been bothered by his silence. Yet, she was. Keeping tabs on him had somehow become a habit, something she did without even realizing it.Cora stepped out of the conference room and immediately spotted Adela lost in thought again. Since their return, Adela had been like this—distracted, absent-minded. Then again, maybe she had always been like this.Cora still found it odd, though. Leopold had told her that Layson had traveled to Florida with him, but strangely enough, no one had actually seen Layson while they were there. When Cora had asked Adela about it, she had stuttered through a vague, unclear answer.Then, after they got back, rumors began circulating in New York’s busines

117 Layson’s Hospitalization

After stepping out of Leopold’s office, Adela paused at the door for a moment. The words he had just spoken echoed in her ears—Layson was in the hospital.She couldn't quite figure out how she felt. There was an odd emptiness inside her, a strange sensation she couldn’t describe.……Layson lay in the hospital bed, his face pale, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he wasn’t sleeping well.Diana had just learned this morning that Layson had been hospitalized. Standing by his bedside, she looked at his normally sharp, imposing face, now drained of color, and felt an inexplicable discomfort.Layson Norman never let himself end up like this.He was always in control, always composed, yet now, here he was, lying unconscious.“What the hell happened to him?” Diana’s voice was stern, carrying a hint of frustration as she turned to Barnes, who stood nearby.Barnes knew that Layson had been pushing himself too hard—nonstop work, endless business negotiations, and his latest brutal takeover of t

118 Because of Adela

Dexter took Ralph back home. He knew Layson didn’t want them staying at the hospital any longer, so he had practically pushed them out. Ralph sulked the entire car ride, clearly unhappy about leaving. He had wanted to stay by Layson’s side, but his father had been firm about sending him home. No matter how much he protested, Layson was even more stubborn.Dexter wasn’t surprised. He had already figured out that this had everything to do with Adela. His older brother had fallen hard.He never imagined Layson would take things so seriously. Years ago, he had resented him for what he had done to Adela, but looking at things now, maybe… this was fate.Dexter had been back in New York for some time now, but he hadn’t yet seen Adela. Even so, it seemed like her name was everywhere. It was as if she had always been a presence in the Norman family.But there was no longer any love left in his heart for her—only the most sincere blessing for an old friend.“Ralph, do you want your mom and dad

119 Rejecting Layson Norman

The setting sun painted the streets with a golden hue. Adela walked slowly, her eyes fixed on the long shadow stretching in front of her, lost in thought.She was almost home. Recently, Herbie had insisted that Adela no longer needed to pick her up, saying she was old enough to manage on her own. Instead, she had Adela buy her a small phone so she could check in whenever needed.After work, Adela had stopped by the supermarket to pick up a few things for dinner.What she didn’t know was that, at this very moment, two unexpected guests were waiting for her at her apartment building’s entrance, standing near the elevator.The moment she stepped through the glass doors, her footsteps faltered.Ralph was standing beside Diana, his tiny hand held firmly in hers. But as soon as he spotted Adela, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly broke free from Diana’s grasp.“Mommy! You’re finally back!”Adela froze. It had been a while since she last saw Ralph, long enough that she had almost forgo

120 Visiting Adela

In the bedroom, Ralph excitedly pulled out his brand-new gaming console, a gift from Dexter. He was eager to show it off, but Herbie wasn’t as interested. Her thoughts were elsewhere—she still wasn’t sure who the woman outside was.Leaning in closer to Ralph, she kept her ears trained on the conversation happening in the living room. But all she could hear was the sound of the game playing.“Ralph, who’s that lady with you?” she finally asked.“My grandma.”Ralph answered casually, focusing on his game.In truth, it had been Ralph’s idea to bring Diana over. After returning home with Dexter the night before, he had immediately sought out his grandmother, explaining that Layson refused to stay in the hospital and that he was desperate to see Adela. Ralph believed that if there was anyone Layson would listen to, it was Adela.“Your grandma?” Herbie’s heart skipped a beat.She had no idea what Diana’s attitude toward Adela was like, nor did she know why she had come here today. Even thou
