Chapter: 5KRYSTAL'S POINT OF VIEW The limousine was parked outside the massive and busy mansion, and my eyes sparkled at how massive this house was. This is my first time seeing this kind of lovely home, especially since the massive fountain draws my attention. Marcus sent me a black gown with a small slit in the side and a mask to cover my eyes yesterday.He didn't say anything on the package, so I had no choice but to wear it to this opulent event. Whatever event this is, I'm sure it's not a typical celebration because everyone is dressed up in very fancy gowns and jewelries. The limousine door opened, and the butler assisted me."Wow..." I said quietly."Madame, good evening. Master Marcus requested that you wait in the private room "a man said as I stepped onto the massive stairwell."Of course."He led the way, and I followed him around the mansion, where everyone was talking about the party and I couldn't relate because I wasn't as wealthy as them. I approached the luxurious chair when t

Chapter: 4MARCUS'S POINT OF VIEW"Hola, amigo!" David said as he entered, and I hadn't expected to see him today."You arrived early, David; I expected you to be late; did your mother scold you again?""Well, every corner of that house screaming how boring my family was, and they always praised my brother," he sat and set his luggage aside."There's no news on that, especially since you're the youngest; they probably thought you wouldn't bring any luck from the family, despite the fact that I know you're one of the top three youngest billionaires; why don't you tell them?" I replied."Dunno," David shrugged, "but I know one thing.""What?""If my family finds out I'm richer than they thought! They will kneel and beg me!" he exclaimed happily."Crazy," I chuckled, shaking my head."Speaking of crazy, didn't you mention the crazy plan you devised? Did she bite the bait? How did the woman react? Care to tell me?" David was clearly excited, and I didn't want to think he came here to gossip."Why ar

Chapter: 3KRYSTAL'S POINT OF VIEW @HOSPITAL"Mom!" I exclaimed when I saw my mother; she has this smile that always makes me feel relieved despite the problems I'm dealing with."What are you doing here, Krystal? You're supposed to be a part of that company, "She expressed her concern."Mom, I've already been there. Your husband called and said you needed emergency surgery," While looking at my mother, I'm trying hard not to cry. She is the only treasure I have."Victor? I instructed him not to call you" she exclaimed."So why not? Fortunately, the interviewer did not keep me waiting for too long, so I was able to answer his call. Please don't tell me he's lying again." I responded.Mom grabbed my hand and squeezed it "Don't be concerned about me, Krystal. You're old enough to find the right man for yourself, and taking care of me is no longer your responsibility."Victor wasn't lying from that moment on. My mother's voice tells me she has a problem, but she doesn't want me to get involved."S

Chapter: 2Krystal POV"What the hell are you on about?" My mind can't process it properly because of his sudden proposal, which completely confused me."Ms. Dawson, be careful what you say. You're in my domain, and cursing is one of the few things I dislike "He responded.I laughed "Humans are capable of profanity. I need to do that because your proposal surprised me, and believe me, Mr. Miller, I wasn't like the gala women you've met. Whatever your problem with your wife is, it is none of my business and is no longer my problem.""Take a look, Krystal. Do you not want to change your life and get out of poverty?" He inquired abruptly.How did he find out about my goal? Is this man following me around without my knowledge, and why is he doing so?He snapped his finger, causing me to return to reality and look at him."What does it mean to you, Mr. Miller? It makes no difference if I want to escape my unhappy life, and you are not required to be concerned about someone like me.""Yes, you are ent

Chapter: 1@M&M MODELING AGENCYKrystal's POVI couldn't contain my excitement right now, especially since the modeling agency where I aspire to work called me yesterday. This is one of my greatest ambitions, but it is nearly impossible to accomplish due to my current situation. I'm not wealthy, and I'm struggling to live normally because of my struggles and problems.My mother, you see, had to be treated every day. I mean, she requires medications due to her disease and the fact that I'm her only child. I am the only person on whom my mother can rely. I despise Uncle Victor because he always wastes our money on gambling and is extremely irresponsible. He is my mother's second husband, and they have no children.He or she is safe from the poverty we are experiencing."Good morning, and I apologize for keeping you waiting! There's so much to do that I almost forgot we had a session today" My deep thoughts are interrupted by that bubbly voice, so I smile at her."No need to worry, ma'am. I complet

Chapter: Chapter 158Kalix's POV I am stuck at the middle of the road because of the heavy traffic ahead of me, and couldn't wait any longer because I have a wedding to catch. This is frustrating. When I found out Andrea is getting married with her childhood friend, so without any questions and hesitation. I came home just to stop her from marrying that man. This is unbelievable, I know.

So, I hate myself from being so careless and self-centered. "Ms. Rodriguez, your father message me. They are waiting inside," the driver remind me that I'm getting married. "Oh, sorry. Got a little nervous..." I reasoned."That's normal, miss. I remember the day I married the girl in my dreams, that day I almost passed out in joy."He chuckled, "I humiliate myself
