"Bryan, stop! You're going to get sick if you keep doing this!" Edward interrupted as Bryan was about to down the drink in his glass. He couldn't count how many glasses Bryan had drunk since he arrived at the club. But Bryan didn't care. None of Edward's words even entered his ears."Don't stop me, Ed. I'm enjoying life and celebrating God's gift to me.""What do you mean? You're sick, Bryan. You must remember that. Do you want to die on purpose, huh?!"Bryan stopped the laughter that had been going on. He was laughing at his misfortune that, after losing his true love, he was about to lose his life. So what else was he to do but celebrate his misfortune?"He should have taken my life back then. Right?" he reflected.Edward was annoyed at Bryan's unchanging attitude. Bryan would let himself fall to the ground before finally waking up and getting up. But most of the time, he had already lost time by then. And this time, Edward wasn't going to let it happen again.There were many things
Bryan opened his eyes slowly, and he felt his head throbbing and pounding. He didn't immediately leave bed but remembered what happened last night. He looked at his body, which wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing, and remembered that he and Shienna had spent a night of love and passion, and it was time for Bryan to make sure he wasn't dreaming last night.Strangely enough, Bryan's feelings right now are unhappy. It's as if today he will never find Shienna again, who last night allowed him to release a deep longing that he could never express because he never managed to see her.Slowly and hesitantly, Bryan turned his head to make sure their night was the real deal, but instead, he found another kind of madness and drama that he couldn't believe.It's not Shienna lying next to him naked, but another woman—a woman he never expected to come and appear in front of him, especially in this way."Shit! What are you doing here, Amara?" Bryan rolled off the bed and rushed to put on all hi
Bryan was stunned, his gaze fixed on the suffocating scene before him. Shienna looked cheerful, smiling happily and occasionally letting the man in front of her hold her hand. Bryan squeezed the fork that had been in his hand and was about to get up to head over there.His anger was rising. In his mind and thoughts now, was Shienna deliberately leaving him to suffer and keep trying to find her while she was having fun with another man?Bryan didn't know who that man was. That is, he is just another person who has just walked into Shienna's life. Unfortunately, Bryan was wrong."Why do you look so gloomy? Is there a problem?" asked the man, who had now released his grip from Shienna's hand. Shienna shook her head and returned the smile, sipping the milkshake in her glass until half was left. "Are you sure you want to leave Jennie's house? She'll be happy if you stay there."Shienna sighed heavily. She was silent for a while as if she were thinking about the many things that had accumula
Work was done, and Shienna was now driving to a place she had wanted to visit for the past few days. She sped up and got out as soon as the car was in the parking lot in the basement of a building just as grand as Bryan's office.Shienna stood before the front desk to ask to see someone, but the employee told her to wait."Don't you know who I am? Your boss knows me very well, which means you're going to get in trouble if you get in the way of my meeting with him," said an impatient Shienna."We're sorry, Miss Miller, but Mr. Hashimoto is in a meeting that will probably end in an hour. If you'd like, please wait in the lobby. We will let you in when Mr. Hashimoto is finished.""I don't need your permission!" Shienna asserted herself and began to turn around and enter the open elevator, gathering with the other employees before the security guards could stop her. Shienna got off on the tenth floor after asking a few employees where Jun Hashimoto's office was.Arriving in front of a gla
There was no way Shienna couldn't recognize the man standing far from her. Even if it was just the sound of his footsteps, Shienna knew him well, as well as the scent of his body, voice, and breath. Everything about Bryan was like a part of her that she couldn't possibly not recognize. Shienna would never forget him so easily.Shienna was stunned when she saw someone who stood still and didn't move her gaze from him. They seemed to lose the neatly arranged words they planned to say if they met again.In fact, neither one of them started a conversation, even if it was just a curse.Shienna stared at Bryan with wet eyes, while Bryan could barely stop himself from reaching out and grabbing Shienna into his arms. However, he clenched his fists to resist the urge. He didn't want to scare his wife, who had just met him after a long time away.After all, Shienna was with another man. Bryan couldn't take her away or be a loser by ruining all of Shienna's happiness. From both of their lips cam
"Ms. Miller, can you come to the office?" asked a voice on the other line, which made Shienna pull over. She listened to the woman's words and then hurriedly drove to the office the woman had previously mentioned."Why did that woman ask me to come to the office? Didn't she say the estimated sale of the house was about two weeks? It's only been a week. Does she want to cancel the deal?" Shienna muttered as she focused on the steering wheel and the deserted road before her.Before long, she arrived at the real estate agent's office, where they helped her sell her house. She got out of the car and met the woman. She had good news to tell Shienna."Someone has bought your house and immediately made full payment. However, it was only today that I could cash the funds. Would you like to take it as a check, or would you like me to transfer it to your bank account?"Shienna was still gaping, unable to believe what she had just heard. The house had a high value, and it was doubtful that it wo
"I couldn't possibly say that I was the true owner of D'Maestro. I was afraid that Shienna would feel that I was pitying her. I'll say it, but not now. I want to get closer to her without making her feel like I'm looking down on her," Jonathan said before leaving. "Wait, what's your purpose in getting close to her?" "Because I love her. For a long time. And this is the first time I've gotten the chance to get closer to her. Therefore, I don't want to waste this opportunity." Jonathan walked out of the room this time and was surprised to see Shienna leaving. Meanwhile, Shienna was still stunned when she overheard the conversation between Jonathan and Damien that inflamed her. She trusted Jonathan, but he lied to her. Although, with good intentions, there was no initiative to commit a crime against her, Shienna didn't like lies. No matter what the reason. "Shie? Since when have you been here?" asked Jonathan, who noticed the change in Shienna's face and immediately grabbed her arm.
Shienna arrived at the hospital and checked on Jennifer's condition, which was slowly improving. The doctor said the cut on her wrist wasn't too deep and, therefore, not fatal. However, he asked Shienna to closely monitor her, as a similar incident could occur if everyone relaxed their guard.Jennifer still hasn't opened her eyes. According to the psychiatrist who is also in charge of monitoring her condition, Jennifer is experiencing symptoms of acute stress due to what happened to her. The mental health team will continue to monitor her condition until it gets better, and she can decide whether to keep the baby or choose abortion as a middle ground.Shienna looked compassionately at her friend, took Jennifer's cold hand, and sighed heavily."I know you're a strong woman, J. But it's okay if you complain to me about the harshness of life. It's okay if you tell me everything; never mind my meager condition. You have always been there for me, so let me do the same," Shienna murmured wh
