When Lyra walked into the high-end cafe later that evening, she was quick to recognize the Madam of the King family. She was seated in one of the window seats and the cafe was fairly deserted anyway so it was quite easy to find her among the people.As she stared at the woman seated taking a sip of what she supposed was coffee, Lyra had a hard time believing that this was indeed Ronan King's mother. She didn't seem like any middle-aged woman who had a grown-up son and instead looked like she was in her early thirties. She was quite beautiful and elegant. Her expression was also calm and even from the angle Lyra was she could tell that she wasn't a person easy to deal with. But she was already prepared for that anyway.She strode quickly toward her but didn't immediately take a seat. Instead, she greeted, "Hello. Are you Chairman King?"The woman quickly looked up in surprise before bearing a wide smile on her face. "You're here." She regarded Lyra carefully before saying, "You look e

Lyra dug her fingers into her hair in frustration as she paced around the entrance of the station. It turned out it wasn't just a mere threat and her father had really kidnapped Auntie Josie. Even her family had been looking for her and they were all currently running helter-skelter in search of her. She had come to the station to report her disappearance hoping to let the cops into the situation. But she wasn't really confident about them as she was well aware that even though the Sean Family was on the verge of bankruptcy, they were still quite an influential family and could well manipulate the police.Just then, her phone which was in her bag vibrated. She paused in her pacing and brought it out. When she saw the Caller ID, her eyes flashed and she quickly picked it up.A curt female voice sounded from the receiver. "Z, are you there?""Yes, I am," Lyra responded anxiously. "How is it? Did you get what I asked you to check?"The person on the end was quick to reply but her voice

"You will have to do what I tell you, Lyra. I am your father and I have a right to decide what is good for your future!" Richard Sean proclaimed anxiously with a tough expression on his face as he pointed at her. He looked as though he was going to cough up blood anytime soon with how angry he seemed.Lyra could not help but scoff. She had truly guessed right. Even after more than three years, her father had still never changed. He was still that same profiteer who would be willing to do anything just to get what he wanted his hands on. He was the first slimy and disgusting bastard she had ever met in her life and he had ruined all her expectations of men.She stood with her back straight and her chin tipped up as she looked directly at him. "No, I won't marry him."Richard seemed to have just heard the most ridiculous words ever. He flared up in anger as he pointed at her angrily. "You...unfilial brat! The company is going bankrupt and if we don't do something about it, we'll have

Lyra jerked and turned in her sleep uneasily. Balls of sweat that had gathered all over her face and neck rolled down chin in buckets, soaking her nightwear and quilt. Her brows were furrowed, eyes drew tight as she wiggled on the bed uneasily. She was having a nightmare.In her dream, she was in a deserted subway and roaming listlessly. She didn't have a good memory of where she was headed or where she was walking but she was dragging a white suitcase along with her as she walked.Her phone was in her hand and she seemed to be having a call with someone. Everything seemed nice and dreamy. But it only took a moment to go downhill.As she walked onto the steps of the subway pavement, a figure suddenly jumped out of nowhere, crashing into her and knocking her onto the ground heavily. Her body smashed onto the ground and even though it was only happening in a dream, Lyra herself stirred on her bed feeling the awful sting that came with the fall.Her phone had slid away from her due to t
