Sunny adjusted the small package in his hand as he walked into the event hall, a smile appearing on his handsome face. It was a gift he had spent quite some time choosing for the woman he believed was his entire world, Lydia Anderson. He had even wrapped it himself, although the result wasn't particularly impressive. The edges were uneven, and the ribbon around it looked like something a child had tied, but he was satisfied with his work. After all, it was the thought that counted, wasn't it?It had been three days since Lydia last came home to their apartment. Three whole days.She's probably busy again.Sunny glanced around the hall, taking in the beautiful decorations as he continued walking.She always complains about how much work she has to do. Sometimes, I wonder if that company is paying her enough for all the stress she puts herself through. But that's Lydia for you. She's hard-working, ambitious and always determined to get ahead. That's one of the things I love about her. S

With one hand, Lydia held the microphone, her eyes slowly scanning the crowded hall. The music had stopped, and almost everyone was waiting to hear what she had to say. Her gaze moved across the guests before finally settling on Sunny, who stood among the crowd with the small package still in his hands. The moment she saw him she smiled and looked at him like nothing happened.Sunny stared back at her.Is she smiling?His mind struggled to process what he was seeing. Only moments earlier, he had watched the woman he loved kiss another man in front of everyone. He could still remember how Damien's lips had touched hers, how Lydia had responded without hesitation, and how the two of them had stood together as though Sunny didn't exist. Yet now, she was smiling at him.The image of that kiss kept returning to his mind, competing with the anger and sadness building inside his chest. He wanted to believe there was some explanation, some reason that would make what he had witnessed less p

Sunny stared at the envelope Lydia was holding out to him. For a moment, he couldn't bring himself to take it. His hands were still shaking, and the blood from the cuts on his feet had begun to stain the floor beneath him. Only a few minutes earlier, he had been rushing to open the door because he thought Lydia had returned to explain what happened at the party. Now, with Damian standing beside her, that little hope was slowly slipping away."What is this?" he asked again, his voice barely above a whisper.Lydia's expression remained unchanged. "I told you. Open it and see for yourself."Sunny looked at her face, hoping to find even the smallest sign that she was having second thoughts. But she simply held out the envelope, waiting for him to take it. After a brief hesitation, he reached forward and collected it, his trembling fingers brushing against hers. Lydia immediately pulled her hand away, as though even that brief contact was something she wanted to avoid.Sunny lowered his ey

The next morning Luther Corporation was already buzzing with activity, as the employees had returned to their respective departments carrying out their usual duties as if they hadn't spent the previous night attending one of the biggest parties the company had ever hosted.Phones were ringing in the offices, people were moving between departments, and the sound of conversations was filling the hallways. From the outside everything seemed normal, but the celebration from the previous night was still the main topic of conversation among the employees.The moment Lydia stepped into the building, several heads turned in her direction. She had barely taken a few steps when she noticed some employees whispering to one another while stealing glances at her. It didn't take long for her to realise that they were talking about what had happened at her birthday party."Isn't that Damian Luther's girlfriend?""Girlfriend? Didn't you see what happened last night? He practically announced that she
