“For the past six years, I’ve been trying to find a new heart for her. I tried to find a suitable donor but my efforts were always disappointing. It felt like I had been carried high into the sky, and dropped back down as every time I found a donor with the same blood type, it always ended in failure.” “I don’t know what to say. Obviously, I’m very sorry to hear that, Mr. Grayson,” Violet said, finally opening her voice. “You are right, Miss Violet. It is indeed a sad story, made all the sadder when I found out that I couldn’t give Emily my heart.” “You even think that?” “Of course. For parents in my position, self-sacrifice is the first thing that comes to mind. No parent wants to see their child suffer, unless they’re out of their mind.” Jack added a bit of laughter at the end of his sentence, but it couldn’t cover up the fact that he was in great distress. The man’s eyes didn’t move from Emily’s small figure who looked very happy exploring the beauty of the garden. “When I smil
“I don’t want to imagine it and I can’t, Mr. Grayson. That’s why I’m asking. I really didn’t expect that you would ask such a big thing of Victor.” Violet averted her face, not wanting to look into Jack’s eyes that were staring at her with that pleading look. Violet didn’t want to feel sorry, Violet wanted to be indifferent even if it was very difficult. She wasn’t someone who could ignore others who were in trouble. Violet then fell silent, not continuing her words. She was still in shock and Jack didn’t want to bother Violet anymore by continuing to beg. After all, the person he was going to ask for help was Victor, so he didn’t need to force his words on Violet because in the end, the big decision was up to Victor. They were silent for a long time. Neither Violet nor Jack had anything else to say to each other. Violet didn’t feel the need to stop Jack even though she regretted asking Victor to come here. It was because she still had the humanity to understand that it was a natura
Like any other human being, who only wants to experience good things and remember good memories in life. Maria was no different.Living in an orphanage since she was a baby, without knowing who her parents were and why she was born if only to be thrown away like trash. Maria's life in the small, well-off orphanage wasn't so extraordinary that she could imagine telling her descendants about it.But one day, the arrival of a boy named Victor changed everything in her life.Victor was an interesting boy. A very quiet boy who was hard to understand. Instead of approaching him because he had a handsome face and a refreshing appearance judging by how clean his skin was, Maria chose to approach Victor because of her curiosity about the new boy in her neighborhood.Maria met many children with all their unique traits, but among all of them, only Victor seemed very calm. So calm, at the beginning of the meeting Maria even thought Victor couldn't speak.The days were boring, being a quiet
"Maria ...." The soft voice that was as calm as the surface of the frozen lake water blurred Maria's attention. She who had been sitting on the edge of her luxurious bed, now turned her head to the source of the voice. She found Victor standing in front of her bedroom door with a cold expression, as usual.She didn't hesitate to walk over, open her arms and rush to hug him very tightly. Maria didn't know how to express it anymore, but the longing that she had been holding back for a very long time, spilled out when the presence of her beloved man was caught by the lens of her eyes.Maria cupped Victor's face, the dull-looking, sleep-deprived face she gazed at intently. "Victor... you've finally come," she said once more before hugging Victor tightly again.The man did not react. Just let her hug his thin body for a while, before she let go slowly. "What happened to calling me?" asked Victor with a calm yet cold look in his eyes. That made Maria frown a little sadly. She didn't know
"Are you going to give Emily your heart?"Victor paused, watching Violet's face as she looked worried and possibly worried about him. Victor didn't answer for a long time until the girl lifted her head, staring at him with a demanding gaze.Violet said again, "I want to know how you think of Emily...."With a hand that Violet still didn't let go of, Victor answered her with, "Emily, my first niece.""You think of her that way even though you've never met. Apparently your relationship with Mr. Grayson isn't as bad as I thought," Violet said.Victor sighed heavily, shifting his eyes to something else. "I can't say our relationship is fine, but I can't possibly hate Emily for not being involved at all." Violet frowned, waiting for Victor's next words. "Violet, I'm going to take a guess and make sure....""Confirm what?""When you hear what Jack and I are talking about." Violet glared, shocked that Victor's words were even a guess. But seeing Victor say it with such conviction inti
“Really?” Violet was getting more and more annoyed. She had spoken with such emotion, but she still couldn’t get Victor to shut up and admit it. Victor’s brief remarks were like a challenge to prove Violet’s words, and he rose to the challenge.Violet tugs on Victor’s black coat, bringing him closer and she quickly kisses his lips. Let him look like a child by acting recklessly just to prove his right to his words of wisdom. Most importantly, Violet felt satisfied after being able to shake Victor with a quick kiss.Victor is left with a shocked look on his face. He must not have expected Violet to be so bold and go beyond her limits. Violet feels victorious here, and she smiles smugly at Victor. “I proved it,” she says confidently while gyrating her waist.Victor was still watching with eyes focused on capturing his girl’s proud face. Victor would admit that Violet’s brief kiss had taken him by surprise. He had no idea that an innocent girl like Violet could act as aggressively as she
It was a quiet morning at Victor's private residence, and Violet started it by being alone. It hadn't been her intention, since Victor had said he'd be busy for a few days on a mission given to him by his leader.Like it or not, Violet had no reason to keep him by her side. As much as she wanted to, of course, Violet knew very well when it was time to spend time with Victor and when it was time to remember who Victor had really been.By the way, today was Violet's fifth day at Victor's place. She's been given permission to access this place, and she's using that permission very well. Violet decided to go in, with no intention of leaving or returning to the mansion. She thought that staying with Victor would be better, which was what she wanted as well. Please understand, Violet had openly admitted that she was in love.While waiting for the food to cook, Violet prepared another side dish. Since her arrival here, the kitchen in Victor's apartment has been steaming more often than be
Violet was silent. She digested what her mother had said and what she meant by that short remark. But no matter how long she digested it, the words and the meaning would not change. Violet had not misheard or misunderstood. Karina was really talking about her homecoming.“My homecoming?” said Violet, asking for confirmation of what she had heard. Her mother answered her with certainty.“Violet... Mama wants you to come home.”“But, why?”“Why? Violet, listen to me. It’s not right to pay off a debt with a girl. Even if your father borrowed a lot of money from Victor, you’re not worth a pile of money. Do you understand?”No, I don’t. If Karina said that, Violet didn’t understand even more. She knew what she was talking about, she knew that she was not worthy of being used as payment for her father’s enormous debt. Violet had also understood from the beginning that the land and business she owned could pay whatever Victor asked for, but as you know... Violet had chosen to go with Victor
