Josiah put out his cigarette, giving Adele a profound, inscrutable look. His eyes settled heavily on her, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he raised a long, elegant finger to his lips in a quiet 'shh'.
Then he grabbed his suit jacket and strode out.-
Adele watched his tall, broad-shouldered back. Even from behind, the man exuded a suffocating, dominant aura that simply couldn't be contained.
As far as men went, he was the absolute cream of the crop. Infinitely better than York!
It was just a shame... The person in his heart was probably Sharon, right??
Adele's eyes grew red, but she forced a smile and lit a cigarette.

Sharon sat on the living room sofa in a daze for a long time. Until... her entire body went numb.
She finally stood up, her steps heavy and unsteady, and made her way to the bedroom. Lying on the bed, her mind was an absolute mess.
A flood of memories washed over her—snippets of them growing up together. They were all kids from the Capital's elite families. Being close in age, they naturally formed their own tight-knit social circle. They got along well, practically growing up as childhood best friends, Emeline included.
But as they got older, the question of who liked whom... romantic entanglements inevitably pulled them apart. Lines were drawn, bringing some closer while pushing others away, tangling them in a web of love and resentment.
Caleb loved her. He pursued her loudly and proudly, making sure everyone knew, even the elders of the Fletcher family.
But she... she only had eyes for York. She had loved him for ten whole years. The tragedy was that York loved... Emeline.
Later, a chaotic mess of events unfolded, and somehow, Sharon ended up in York's bed. The shock sent Emeline spiraling. In a fit of devastated anger, she turned around and immediately married Caleb. Ultimately, York married Sharon, but as one could imagine, their relationship was terrible.
