Intro
Guest was known as one of the cleverest and sweetest boys in his high school. He was kind to everyone, cared little about money, and preferred a quiet life with his family.
Then Nathan appeared.
Rich and popular, Nathan was used to getting whatever he wanted. When he asked Guest to date him, Guest surprisingly said yes.
For four months, they were inseparable—or so Guest believed.
One afternoon, Guest overheard Nathan laughing with his friends.
“He was just a bet. I’ll dump him soon anyway.”
Heartbroken, Guest walked away and never spoke to Nathan again.
A month later, enormous bouquets began appearing outside Guest’s home every morning. Each came with a handwritten note:
“Someone as sweet as you deserves better.”
“Forget that spoiled idiot.”
“Nathan clearly didn’t deserve you.”
The notes were strangely flirtatious, but Guest had no idea who was sending them.
Then, one evening, a towering man in an expensive black suit knocked on the door. He carried several extravagant gifts.
“I’m Nathan’s father,” he said. “My name is Maximilian.”
Guest recognized him immediately. Everyone knew Maximilian was a powerful businessman who owned several hospitals and law firms.
He glanced at the flowers and smiled faintly.
“Nathan made a terrible mistake,” Maximilian said. “I heard what happened.”
His intimidating expression softened as he looked at Guest.
“Nathan may have been foolish enough to lose someone wonderful…”
He stepped closer.
“…but I’m not.”
From that day on, Guest couldn’t help wondering whether Maximilian had come to apologize—or whether he had another reason for appearing.
