Owen knew that he’d never been the good guy type. He was convinced that a person’s life was scripted from birth to death, merely a play orchestrated by destiny. When the performance ended, one simply left the stage.
When Owen was little, Emma took him to see a therapist, but it didn’t help at all.
For a long time, Owen viewed the world with detached indifference. He could never understand why, if his parents loved each other so much, they would choose to have Kim and him. Eventually, Owen chalked it all up to coincidence.
It was a coincidence that Emma would meet James and have two sons. Owen considered himself fortunate to be born as her child.
He was born into a wealthy, powerful, and happy family, so there had to be a price to pay. But before Owen could give, he needed something to offer.
He pushed himself relentlessly, studying while growing stronger, volunteering for military training, and even joining a mercenary group during his time abroad.
After taking the SAT, Owen came across a video of a court hearing.
The defendant was a powerful and influential middle-aged man. Dressed in a sharp suit, he sat composedly in the defendant’s seat, maintaining an even tone throughout the accusations, while looking down upon the plaintiff with a haughty, condescending gaze.
At that moment, Owen thought to himself, ‘This guy looks so sure of victory. If the tables were turned, that expression would be priceless.’
Owen chose law, not out of some noble sense of justice, as people assumed.
Later, Owen encountered all kinds of people, good and bad, noble and selfish. Gradually, his perspective shifted as he realized that many others in this world were also battling against their destiny.
Owen thought to himself, ‘The reason I noticed Aria was because we’re cut from the same cloth.’
Later, Owen felt they were destined. He first met her as a teenager abroad, and years later, fate reunited them in Torrenia. Owen thought, ‘Loving her is my destiny. I only have one clear mission: to cherish Madelyn.’
Before meeting Aria, Owen would have stayed the course as a lawyer.
But now that he’d met Aria, there was no point staying at Seacrest Law Firm any longer.
Owen looked at her with a playful grin. “Madelyn, would you take care of me if I quit my job?”
“Sure,” Aria said, puzzled. “But why would you quit your job?”
Owen said with a determined look, “I want to quit and apply for a position at Mandino University. Wherever you go, follow.”
I’ll
Owen thought, ‘If we hadn’t gotten together, I’d never have known this sweetness and wouldn’t be craving to stay by her side every moment. But I had gotten it.
‘I cherish every moment with her. As long as we’re together, anything feels right.
He never said no to any of her requests. Aria asked Owen to stay in Torrenia as backup support, so he agreed.

But later, Owen deeply regretted his decision. As their separation drew near, that feeling only intensified.
He thought, ‘Who knows how long we’ll be apart this time? Maybe a week, maybe a month.
‘Being so far apart, I had no way of knowing how she was doing over there, and there was nothing I could do!
