Can’t Win Me Back

Liam lowered his eyes, slowly clenching his fists as if trying to grasp the warmth that was gradually slipping away.

"I hope you can find someone who can prioritize and love you with his life.

It's not worth it for you to love someone like me." Yuliana cried as she ran through the hallway in the fortress.

When exhaustion finally claimed her, she slumped against a wall, her breaths coming in ragged gasps.

She looked like a child who the entire world had just abandoned.

Some time passed before a figure stood before her and then lowered itself until meeting Yuliana's eyes.

"Oh, someone's crying.

I thought a ghost might be haunting the fortress," Alyssa said gently with a twinkle in her eye.

Yuliana lifted her swollen eyes, choked on asob, and exclaimed, " Yes...

I'm a ghost...

but I'm also the prettiest ghost you'll ever find!" "You're right! You're absolutely right.

You're the prettiest princess in the whole world." Alyssa coaxed her tenderly.

To distract Yuliana from her sadness, she even tried to scare her.

She asked, "Why are you crying here in the dead of the night instead of sleeping in your bed? Aren't you afraid of actually attracting ghosts? I heard that centuries-old fortresses like this one can be quite haunted..." Yuliana was timid.

She screamed and leaped into Alyssa's arms in fright.

Her petite frame was soft and warm, making her very snuggly.
