"During our time together at the Manor Estate, I found myself, whether intentionally or unintentionally when dealing with matters, casting my gaze upon her. Watching her gentle smile, I felt as though the whole world had warmed up."

"In the tranquil years, we spent five years together. So many springs came and went, and by then, I truly couldn’t let her go. Waking up to see her first thing in the morning had already become my habit and joy. Without needing many words, just quietly watching her was enough for me."

"Yet everything vanished like smoke when she stabbed me. Jorge, do you know? At that moment when I was gravely injured, watching her leave, the feeling in my heart was indescribable. I held onto her wrist despite the blood flowing from my left atrium, warning her not to go."

"But she still left, pushing away my gravely injured self, leaving without a backward glance."

"I almost never woke up again, and when I did, she was still in my mind and heart. Upon learning she was in City C, I came with hatred, wanting to settle the score."

"Through forced encounters and repeated contacts, I slowly discovered how all that hatred dissipated over time. Looking at Nicole, no matter how much I once hated her, seeing her in danger, I would always reach out to save her first. I even cursed myself for being pathetic!"

"Her engagement to Steven Cooper pushed my anger to the peak. This woman, whom I had been with for years, was suddenly about to become someone else’s fiancée. The thought of Steven being able to touch her burned away all my reason."

"Time and again, I forced myself upon her, and she became pregnant with my child, twice. Jorge, two children... without even a single ultrasound picture, she got rid of them all. Do you know that kind of hatred and anger? An unprecedented level of hate that made me want to strangle her."

"But five years—those flashes of memories of five years kept appearing before me. Towards Nicole, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Even if she had killed my two children, I couldn’t exact revenge on her."

"Later, I found out that her hatred for me stemmed from her belief that I killed her brother, which is why she got close to me in the first place for revenge."

"I went to Italy to find out the truth and wrote her a letter before leaving, threatening her not to get engaged. But when I returned, she was someone else’s fiancée. I rushed to the engagement party, and because I was driving too fast, I got into an accident..."

"With blood covering my head, I made my way to the engagement party scene, reaching out to her, but she refused. Jorge, if she truly had even a trace of affection for me, why did she choose to get engaged after seeing the letter I left? And why did she get engaged even before I rushed back?"

"Jorge, do you think she was in such a hurry to marry Steven Cooper?"

"I always thought what I felt for her was merely possessiveness. After all, I was unwilling for someone else to touch a woman I had been with! But, Jorge, I now realize everything is off track. Towards her... I no longer simply want to keep her like a pet by my side."

While speaking, Jose Floyd took out some photos and placed them on the table, his eyes lingering deeply on the wedding photos of him and Nicole. He downed his beer in one go before speaking in a deep voice, "Jorge, these are the photos we took today. I never knew Nicole could be so beautiful, the way she looks in a wedding dress, that gentle smile... Letting her marry Steven Cooper is impossible! As long as I’m alive in this lifetime, she better not think she’s going anywhere."
