The Despised Luna's Comeback
"Okay, okay." Rosaline pushed me away, her breath quickening. After a moment, she said, "I won't go to the office today. I'll rest at home in the morning, and in the afternoon, Yura and I will head out for makeovers." "I'll come with you." I pulled her back into my arms and kissed her forehead gently. Rosaline shivered slightly, and then gently pushed me away. "No need, Yura will be there with me. Don't you have work at the company?" "But I want to be with you," I said, pressing my lips together. On such a special and important day, I didn't want to be apart from her for even a moment. "How about this? After my styling is done, I'll call you and you can pick me up. For now, you go to the company." Rosaline thought for a moment before speaking. Seeing that she was insistent, I didn't push it. I quickly kissed her cheek. "Alright, I'll listen to my wife." "Who's your wife? You're so shameless." Rosaline's face immediately turned bright red. "I'll go to the company now, but remember to call me in the afternoon, and I'll come pick you up," I reminded her. Tonight, I planned to make Rosaline the happiest woman in the world, and I wanted everyone to envy her. I was looking forward to tonight's engagement ceremony. As I drove, I imagined the grand event awaiting us, and I couldn't wait to see the surprised look on Rosaline's face when she saw what I had prepared for her. Suddenly, a woman in a white dress appeared ahead on the road, running frantically while glancing over her shoulder. She dashed straight into the street, heading straight for my car. I quickly slammed on the brakes. With the screech of the tires, the woman fell in front of my car. I quickly got out of the car and walked over to her. Lying on the ground was a pale-faced woman. It didn't seem like the collision was too severe. I stood in front of her and asked, "Are you okay?"She lifted her head, and I froze for a moment. This woman looked familiar. She was the singer at Chroma Lounge. I think her name was Heidi Tessford. I heard her sing at the bar before. I had no idea why she suddenly ran into the road and crashed into my car. Heidi grabbed my leg, panic in her eyes as she looked behind her. "Please, sir, help me!" I frowned and pulled my foot back, noticing two large werewolves charging toward Heidi. One of them, a bearded man, grabbed her roughly and pulled her up, snarling, "You filthy b*tch, think you can get away?!" With a tearing sound, the bearded man ripped the collar of Heidi's dress, revealing her shoulder. That was when I saw it—a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her pale skin. The sight sent a jolt through me. The plum blossom-shaped birthmark ... it felt so familiar. Deep in my memory, I remembered a little girl who had the same birthmark on her shoulder. "Tessa?" I asked without thinking. Heidi froze for a moment, then grabbed my arm again, her eyes locked on my face. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with tears, and her voice trembled with emotion. "You're ... Caden?" Caden ... The way she called him was so familiar! Back then, that was the way Tessa called me! The girl standing before me, looking so delicate and helpless, could she truly be Tessa? Memories I thought were long forgotten flooded back all at once, overwhelming me like a tidal wave. At that moment, my thoughts were a chaotic blur."You b*tch, you're lucky that Mr. Johnson likes you. There are so many women lining up to get into his bed, you're so lucky!" The bearded man pulled Heidi hard and slapped her, "Come with me!" Heidi covered her face, shaking in fear, her eyes full of desperation as she turned to me. "Caden, please, save me! I beg you, save me!" Her words hit me like a wave. It was the exact same thing Tessa had cried out before she fell off that cliff all those years ago. "Caden, save me! I beg you, save me!" Without hesitation, I shot a cold glare at the two men. "What do you think you're doing?" My commanding presence immediately diminished their previously aggressive demeanor. One of them stammered, "This woman owes our boss money. It's only right to pay what she owes." I swiftly pulled out a check, filled in the amount, and tossed it at the bearded man. In a cold tone, I spat out one word: "Leave!" When the bearded man saw the amount on the check, his eyes lit up, and he quickly snatched it up from the ground. "Haha, we're leaving now!" "Thank you, Caden." Heidi grabbed my hand, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions—excitement, joy, surprise—so many feelings all at once. I felt the coldness of her touch and studied her face carefully. "Are you really Tessa?" "Yes, I'm Tessa," Heidi replied, nodding without a second of doubt. A shock ran through me. The cold wind swept over Heidi, and her already delicate dress, torn by the two men, barely clung to her frail body. She looked so fragile, like she might collapse any second, as if she were made of paper. All these years, where had Tessa been? Why couldn't I find her? I had so many questions I wanted to ask, but at that moment, I didn't know where to start. "Caden ... I finally found you ... " Heidi trembled as she spoke, swaying unsteadily before collapsing into my arms. "Tessa? Tessa?" I instinctively reached out to support her. "What's wrong?" The woman in my arms was pale, her brow furrowed, and she had already fainted.
