He seemed to believe that anyone could steal me away, even though I had never given him

reason to doubt me.

I didn't answer immediately but turned my gaze towards the window.

the car began to move and music started playing, I recognized the gentle melody as a piano piece I had posted online called "Eutopia".

I paused, then asked, "This is Monologue's piece. Do you like her?"

Leo seemed surprised, then responded, "Oh, yes. Her recent compositions have become incredibly popular, and many people have taken notice of her... I was following her even

before she gained so many fans. Her music is so pure; every time I listen to it, it calms my restless mind."

I wasn't sure whether to feel happy or sad.

After three years of marriage, Leo had no idea that the Luna he lived with day and night was the "Monologue" he admired. Leo continued, "Videos of 'Monologue' playing the piano always remind me of the music

used to hear while training at the villa when I was a child... Unfortunately, even Aria herself couldn't recreate that feeling." The soft strains of piano music filled the space between us, a melody that seemed to mirror the unspoken tension.

After a moment, I spoke, my voice soft.

"The fan you just asked about is a man."

Leo's grip on the steering wheel tightened, though he didn't say anything.

The silence stretched out, heavy and loaded with unspoken words.

I knew what he was thinking, knew the insecurities that gnawed at him despite his outward confidence.

As we approached a red light, the car slowed, and Leo turned to me, his eyes dark with an emotion I couldn't quite name.

"You're shining now," he said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.

"In your favorite area. I should be happy for you, but..."

His words trailed off, and for a moment, I saw the vulnerability beneath his usually stoic

exterior.

Then, his expression hardened, and he finished, "But I just want to have you all to myself."

Before I could respond, Leo leaned in, his lips capturing mine in a kiss that was both tender and demanding.

It was as if he was trying to convey all the conflicting emotions he couldn't put into words-his love, his fear, his need to keep me close.

The atmosphere in the car changed, becoming more intense and intimate.

The music pounding in the background was an important choice for me.

I don't want to give Leo some false hope, and while he's been helping me a lot lately, I also know it's only on the surface. In reality the rift inside me isn't easy to fill. Just as I was about to push Leo away, the car behind us let out a blaring honk.

We both pulled away, the spell broken as reality came crashing back.

Leo's expression darkened with annoyance, and he quickly shifted the car into gear, speeding off with a quiet fury.

The rest of the drive was filled with an uncomfortable silence.

I could sense Leo's agitation, but I didn't know how to ease it.

My own emotions were a tangled mess, a mix of love and fear, desire and doubt.

Leo's possessiveness was something I had always known, but now, with everything out in the open, it felt more intense than ever.

When we finally reached the pack's territory, Leo parked the car and turned to me, his expression softening slightly.

"I have some urgent business to attend to," he said, his voice gentle, though I could still sense the lingering tension.

"I'll see you later."

The next day, I arrived at the piano room early, determined to focus on something other

ån the turmoil in my heart.

To my surprise, Shadow, who had given me the score was already there, waiting with a mixture of excitement and skepticism.

He looked up as I entered, his eyes searching my face for any sign of success or failure.

"Good morning," I greeted him, my voice steady and calm.

He glanced at my empty hands, his expression faltering slightly.

"You don't have the score," he observed, disappointment creeping into his voice.

"It's okay. I know it's a difficult piece, and you probably haven't heard it before."

I sat down in front of the piano, my fingers hovering just above the keys as I took a deep

breath.

The familiar weight of the instrument beneath my hands brought a sense of calm, the world outside fading away as I prepared to play. Shadow, who had handed me the crumpled sheet music, stood off to the side, his expression a mixture of skepticism and curiosity. I began to play, the first notes flowing gently from the piano like a stream trickling over

smooth stones.
