Jane was pulled out forcefully by Haydn.The sound of the busy night market rang through her ears. There was also the sound of various hawkers noisily trying to attract customers’ attention. Haydn was holding her hand. She was not used to her hand being held while walking. However, it was as if this person had a toughness inside of him. She had purposely tried to hide from him a few times, but he still smiled and grabbed her hand.At that moment, the different smells from the stalls invaded th
“Damn you, you little rascal,” Mr. Harper smiled and said.Jane looked at Haydn. “Why are you lying to Mr. Harper? I’m not your girlfriend.”Haydn took the chopsticks and handed them to Jane. He said, “Who said I’m lying to him?” He lifted his head and said, “Jane, why don’t you consider me?”How shocking!That was too sudden!Jane’s ears were ringing. She looked at Haydn for a very long time. “Mr. Soros, what did you say?”The back of her hand started to heat up. She heard Haydn say, “I s
A man favored by God was so delicately made that even his hands were art.Jane widened her eyes and looked at Sean who was standing at the end of the bed. His long and thin fingers were undoing the buttons of his white shirt.She backed away reflexively until her back hit the headboard of the bed. The man’s narrow eyes were cold. He was looking down at her while his fingers undid his buttons in a hurry. No matter how much she backed away, the man on the end of the bed maintained his cold expression on his face. He was unbothered.She looked at the opened door of the bedroom subconsciously. Then, she got up, got out of the bed, and ran toward the door.Unfortunately, the moment her feet hit the ground, she was caught once moreSean stood at the end of the bed and grabbed her shoulder with one hand. He pressed her against the mattress. He was controlling her and holding her captive so that she could not get up. His other hand was on his belt. He was undoing the button of his pants.
When Jane woke up, her eyes were bloodshot. For a moment, her brain was not working. After a while, she suddenly remembered what had happened last night.She sat up with a loud thump.When she looked around her, the man was nowhere to be seen.She let out a sigh of relief as a shot of pain coursed through her heart. When she got up, she realized that she had been sleeping naked the whole night. She scoffed at herself. How confident was she to sleep soundly next to that man?She lifted her hand and slapped herself.She would allow herself to sleep with anyone except Sean Stewart!She felt her heart tightening from anxiousness. Even if it meant being locked up in jail and spending a night next to a toilet, she would not and could not fall asleep next to Sean.How could she do that? How could she sleep so calmly next to that man?That man was Sean Stewart!Her slaps sounded crisp and clear. The more disappointed she felt, the harder she slapped herself.Jane sat on the bed. Her
Jane knew she had gone insane.Right now, she looked stunning in front of Sean. She looked even more stunning than three years ago. However, she did not know this.“Tell me.”She was not scared to lose anything because she did not have anything to lose.“I want…” Sean said while feeling a little dazed. Suddenly, he stopped talking.His expression changed and he glanced at the woman. “What can you give me?”He had always been rational and cold. He had always been that way. How could he allow a woman to disrupt his train of thought?His grandfather’s words lingered in his ears. He had said, “When someone is able to affect your emotions and choices with their presence, don’t hesitate. End them.”Jane was ruined. ‘Luka. Luka, I’m still so useless.’“Why? Mr. Stewart, I’m useless to you. Please give me a break, and let me go. It’ll be just like letting an animal go. It’s so easy and simple. Why won’t you just let me go?”She was decrepit. “I’ve done three years in prison. I have n
In the middle of the night.Jane walked alone in her residential area. She went up to the second floor and noticed that the lights on the corridor were not working.She looked around and thought that only the lights on this floor were not working, so she carefully made her way upstairs. When she got to the third floor, the lights over there were not working as well.She took out her phone and used the light on her phone to brighten her path. She slowly made her way back home.Finally, she got to the entrance of her unit. Jane shivered. “Mr. Callen, why are you here?”“I’ve been waiting so long for you.”“...” She asked him why he was here and not how long he had been here.“What’s wrong?” Jane took the key in her hand, but she did not unlock the door in front of Callen. She still feeling defensive. Callen understood why she was behaving like that. There was a flash of excitement in his eyes.The feeling of dominating a defensive prey was amazing.“I’m hungry.”“Ah?”“I said,
When Jane’s cheque appeared in front of Alora again, she looked at Jane and put away the cheque. “You should know that Callen is not innocent.”“Yeah.”Alora lifted her eyebrows. “If you know, why did you accept his money?”Jane did not say anything.Alora did not talk about it again. No one knew more than her that Jane needed a huge amount of money.“There’s not much time left.” Alora reminded.“I still have to try.”“What do you want to try? Jane, just give up.”“No.”“Do you hate Mr. Stewart that much?” Actually, Alora wanted to say, ‘Mr. Stewart does not treat you that badly. When you were sick, he even carried you to the hospital. When you insisted on working while you were sick, he hired a private doctor to check up on you after you fainted. He didn’t allow me to tell you all these.’Alora did not know what had happened between Jane and Sean. She only witnessed those scenes, so in her opinion, she thought that there was no need for Jane to be so scared of Mr. Stewart.
Jane could not read his mind at all.Callen was looking at Jane while thinking if he should end this hunt.Jane loved money. He could only attack her weakness if she loved money. He needed to approach her again and again so that he could hunt her.In this hunting game, money was the bait. She was the prey.The fun part of hunting was watching the prey’s slow struggle.However, when this woman asked for money, Callen felt that it was time this game ended because it was too… low.“It’s late. I should go.” Callen patted his pants and bade her farewell.Jane pursed her lips together and said, “Let me walk you out.”“No need.” His voice was dull. One would feel awkward in a situation like this.He was being too obvious.“No, I still need to.”Jane closed the door and was ready to walk this man out. He had been here a few times, but she only ever walked him to the door of her dorm. This was the first time she walked him downstairs.“Miss Dunn.” Callen smiled suddenly. There was a
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
