The past...
The past…
Ariella Santana used to be my best friend.
Killian once hated Ariella.
"Selfish, greedy, shrewd, calculating, stay away from her."
But later, he fell in love with her.
"I've never met anyone who lives as authentically as she does." It lasted just three years.
They went from being adversaries to understanding each other, just three years.
And their time together as a couple? Only six months.
Young love, kept secret from everyone.
Only I knew.
I covered for them.
I also covered for my own feelings for Killian.
I thought that was the end of it.
But the changes came too quickly.
Killian's car accident, the broken leg.
Ariella Santana took the 100,000 Killian's family gave her and went abroad.
That almost destroyed Killian.
He gave up on himself, shut himself off from everyone, except me.
Someone once asked me.
"Is it worth it? He's clearly looking for Ariella in you. Why degrade yourself?"
But that wasn't it. I wasn't degrading myself, nor did I think about whether it was worth it. That was Killian.
Killian, the one I grew up with. Killian, the one I've called 'Lia' for many years. The one who protected me and fought for me. Loving him was my choice.
He didn't hurt me.
He was in trouble, so I had to help!
Until later, when he confessed to me.
The joy in my heart was almost uncontrollable.
At that moment, I had to admit—I still had selfish motives.
I still liked him, couldn't let go, and wanted to give it a try.
I thought I had succeeded.
From 18 to 28.
Ten years of memories—couldn't they cover their three years? Killian said: "They can't!"
