I Am the Woman Who Has Been by Jayce Linton's Side the Longest
I am the woman who has been by Jayce Linton's side the longest. After his family went bankrupt, I accompanied him as he slowly made a comeback.
During the most difficult times, Jayce Linton, his face full of exhaustion, would lean into the crook of my neck, his eyes filled with resolve.
"Evie, just wait. In the future, I will definitely give you the wedding of the century!"
Later, he truly achieved fame and fortune.
But my own wedding never came.
"She... she's not as innocent as you." I went to Jayce Linton's office to find him, only to see him pinning the intern assistant against the wall and flirting with her.
I didn't cry or make a scene. At most, I had bet on the wrong horse. I deserved it.
Later, Jayce Linton stood at my door in the pouring rain, tightly clutching a red velvet box.
"Evelyn said you were an eyesore, so I spent half the night placating her." The fair-skinned and handsome young man opened the door, his neck covered in red marks.
In that moment, from inside my doorway, I saw that the man who hadn't cried even when his family was ruined, had eyes brimming with red.
