+25 Bonus

In the past, Nick had spoiled Michelle too much, and sometimes it made everything feel… tedious.

Michelle was no longer the naive girl who had once felt the first stirrings of love. After leaving school and stepping into the adult world, their relationship had shifted—it was more like friendship and family than

romance.

No matter how good Nick treated her, the spark had long since faded. Watching her friends’ boyfriends come and go while her life with Nick remained unchanged, Michelle felt as if she had already glimpsed the end of the road for their marriage.

To delay their union, she went abroad to study for a few years. She was certain Nick would wait for her.

He was responsible but insecure, and once he committed to someone, he never let go easily. And she needed time-time to give her heart an answer: Was her love for Nick deep enough? Could she truly marry him?

Michelle made her decision. Though reluctant, Nick supported her unconditionally.

But neither of them anticipated that the moment Michelle left, everything between them would change.

Nick’s work was demanding, yet he pushed himself, sacrificing rest just to visit Michelle every few days. Whenever she needed him, he was there for her.

And yet, perfection could not satisfy.

Michelle had grown used to Nick’s care; it no longer felt new or exciting. Being apart expanded her social circle. Beautiful, poised, and young, she naturally attracted attention. Though she never crossed any boundaries, her dates gradually shifted-from women to various men.

Eventually, Michelle’s studies abroad were coming to an end. The elders of the Hunt family began pressing for marriage, so Nick and she agreed to get engaged once she returned.

Then, on the eve of their engagement, disaster struck.

Michelle heard that Nick had gotten into a violent confrontation during a social engagement. She didn’t know why… but he had almost killed the man.

She went to the hospital to see the victim: a man whose throat had been pierced, his vocal cords destroyed, left to breathe through a tube for the rest of his life.

Nick had always seemed emotionally steady to her. Even if he was decisive and cold in action, he had never seemed capable of such uncontrolled impulsiveness.

Michelle was shaken. She remembered that Nick had suffered childhood trauma; doctors had warned that it was difficult to fully heal and required careful management to prevent a dark turn in his personality.

After learning what happened, Michelle tricked Nick into undergoing a psychological assessment. The results confirmed a serious stress-related mental disorder: once his emotions collapsed, he could temporarily lose control and possibly harm others severely. Such a condition was difficult-if not impossible-to cure completely.

In other words, if Michelle were to marry Nick, she would have to accept this risk.

Michelle couldn’t digest it. Nick, sensing her hesitation, felt deeply disappointed.

The engagement party had been scheduled long in advance. With the date approaching, Michelle still hadn’t told Nick how she felt.

The night before the party, Nick went to see her, hoping to talk. But outside her building, he saw with his own eyes a man pressing his lips to her forehead.

Nick stood there silently, watching as Michelle sought comfort from another man. She cried, her emotions raw and fragile.
