The Danger
“Oh, no!” Seeing that, Fae’s eyes widened.Her heart pounded faster than before; she never expected that her bad mood earlier would lead them into this kind of danger.Fae’s footsteps immediately faltered, torn between whether she should step forward or retreat. “Derek... just give him what he wants and let’s get out of this place.”Bargaining with someone like that was the last thing Fae wanted to do, though it wasn't always the case. But prioritizing their personal safety above everything else was paramount.Yet Derek held a different view; having lived a hard life filled with lifelong struggles, he refused to simply bow down to those who demanded things from him, to those who made requests and tried to pressure him.Derek glanced briefly at Fae, making sure she stayed back. “Calm down, Fae.” Then his gaze returned to the brawny, terrifying man in front of him. “He’s just threatening us; he isn’t brave enough to hurt even a mouse on the street.” A mocking smile appeared at the corne
Strange man
“Is that car outside is yours?” That deep, heavy voice diverted their gaze.Derek stared calmly in his direction, not answering right away as he caught something suspicious about the man. “What is it?”Suddenly, the night atmosphere around the old building felt even more suffocating as heavy footsteps drew closer to them.The large-bodied man stepped forward with a sharp gaze harboring bad intentions, while a cynical smile was clearly carved onto his thick lips. The dim light from the outside street lamp penetrating the dusty window glass highlighted his intimidating, rough build something about him spelled out a threat.Anyone looking at him would surely feel anxious and frightened, exactly like Fae right now. The girl began to show her restlessness through her shifting movements.“Then it's yours, that means your wallet must be thick and you're rich enough to share,” the man said with a mocking tone that pierced the night air, his voice sounding harsh and raspy as it broke the silen
Their Past
Fae smiled weakly toward him, inwardly harboring a sense of envy at how Derek wisely positioned himself. “Good for you. Still I don’t know what happend with me. Its hard for me to accept who I really was.”That face grew darker than before with her gaze lowered deep. “I don't know whether to feel happy or burdened by all of this,” Fae's voice trembled softly, her pupils staring blankly at the cold bedroom floor.“People out there, even our own relatives, never truly see me as a part of this family.” The expression on her face revealed hurt.Every time they met, every time there was an opportunity, they would turn toward her with sharp glances and begin to judge. They started saying whatever they thought was right, regardless of the reality that it hurt her.She had endured their ways for so very long—ways that sounded like praise yet dripped with sarcasm and put her down. Strangely, she had never been able to fully deny and fight against it.“They still consider me an orphanage kid wh
Nothing has change
"I still believe that I'm Moss to this point, Fae.” He looked at the woman as calmly as possible while his mind had never been that calm as it kept searching for who he really was.His identity as a member of the West family was a part of him that he had only recently discovered, and that didn't change who he was before at all, how he lived, and what his character was like. Even as Derek West, he remained Derek Moss.Derek shifted his gaze, his fingers intertwined as if he were keeping the deepest part of himself—the most sentimental one—and was now weighing whether to utter it. “I never forget who I am, Fae. No matter what happens today, I am Derek Moss.” His lips smiled while showing sadness at the same time.Fae, realizing this, reached out and gently grasped those fingers. When Derek turned his head, he looked at Fae and smiled in the exact same way.“Becoming Derek West doesn't suddenly change my past; nothing changes from my story back then, even though everything can become eas
Where they belongs
“Did you just meet Brian?” Jacob’s heavy voice immediately greeted their return the moment the main door of the residence opened.The middle-aged man sat casually in the living room with a thick book in his hands.Like any ordinary day, he had no sensational or overly exhausting activities, he no longer handled work, spending most of his time gathering with friends and playing golf, while the rest he used to monitor his children and other matters. Today, he had received a report about Fae’s meeting with Brian.Fae paused for a moment, taking a short breath before answering honestly, “Yes, I happened to run into him earlier.”She was forced to lie; her dinner with Brian was an appointment they had indeed made intentionally. Over the past few days, Brian had helped her a lot, and Fae never had a specific reason to avoid the man.Jacob looked dissatisfied, yet he still appeared calm. “You don't need to meet him often if you don't plan to have a special relationship with that man.”“I kno
The silent
"Fae?” Derek shifted his gaze from Allysa toward the woman who had just stood before them.A flash of astonishment crossed the man’s eyes before his expression settled back into calmness. Without thinking much, he immediately nodded to grant the request.He watched as Fae walked straight ahead with an indifferent demeanor, the aura radiating from her being a strong one that wished not to be disturbed; her face wasn't as friendly as usual, and she looked thoroughly exhausted.“Get in,” he replied briefly without asking any questions, even though he could clearly see the shadows of turmoil lingering across Fae's face tonight.Allysa, who had been sitting inside the car with Derek's black jacket draped over her shoulders, blinked a few times. “Do they know each other?” She muttered softly before the two of them approached.Fae's sudden appearance and her direct barge into the car made the atmosphere instantly feel awkward.Allysa turned her head toward the back seat, feeling that her pos
