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
That hand lifted the hair on her forehead. Even if she was stupid, she knew what that man was trying to do.“Mr. Callen, do you not know how to respect other people’s wishes?”“People?” Callen’s thin lips moved. “Didn’t you say that you’re a b*tch who will do anything for money? Even if I’m not from the Hua kingdom, I still know the saying, ‘leading the life of a b*tch but still wants a monument put up for one's chastity’. Is that right?”Jane felt pain in her heart. Then, she started mocking herself. She was too sensitive. She was already a b*tch, so why was she still being pretentious?However, she still tightened her hands that were held behind her. The skin of her palm was sliced open by her nails, but she could not feel any pain at the moment.“Anywhere is fine, just not here.” She looked into his eyes stubbornly. Her eyes were red, and she did not blink. “No means no.”“What if I insist?”Jane lowered her gaze and did not say anything else. Callen felt that this woman was
Despite being furious, Jane knew one thing. Callen was right.She lowered her head, but Callen did not urge her. After a while, she lifted her head. “I have a request. You can’t force me with brute strength. If not, I won’t be able to avoid you. You should know this clearly, Mr. Callen.”“Okay.”Callen answered frankly. His brown eyes glinted. ‘Idiot, am I not imprisoning you if I don’t use brute strength on you?’He was much faster than her when it came to speed.Jane looked at Callen cu
The first time he saw her, she was just like a breathing corpse.…Whenever Jane saw that figure at the entrance of her dorm in the following days, she would feel an itch on her palms.She kept suffering defeat in her battles with him, and yet, she kept on fighting despite these continual setbacks.Slowly, her wound was not as sensitive as before. It was as if the wound was no longer the same as it was previously each time it was touched by the man’s lips.However, it still hurt.Jane co
“Jane, you’ve changed.”The expression on Jane’s face froze. “Alora…”“Jane, haven’t you noticed? Before this, your expression was always the same. I only ever saw a blank and lifeless expression on your face.” Alora looked at Jane. “Now, you feel more like a living, breathing human.”Jane opened her mouth. She wanted to say something.“Jane, who did this? Who caused you to be lively again? Is it Callen?” There was no blessing on Alora’s face. Her face was stern as she lectured Jane, “He harbors malicious intentions!”How could it be a good thing?She had witnessed Jane’s transformation for herself. However, the person who made this happen was someone with malicious intentions.Jane did not say anything.Alora let out an annoyed sigh. “Jane, promise me. Stop seeing him. I’ll arrange a new dorm for you to stay in.”“No!” Jane almost screamed. However, when she said that, she could see Alora’s disappointment. She fisted her hands tightly. “Alora, I don’t want to change dorms. I
Callen’s departure took away the last piece of soul Jane had after climbing up from hell.All the previous times when he had touched her wound, he was adding a little bit of himself into her.Callen was an expert in the love scene. He knew that Jane would change after he kept touching and stimulating her wound. Jane did not know that, but Callen knew that very well.The even scarier fact about Callen was that no matter how spicy or sour Jane’s noodles were, he would still devour all of it despite not being able to tolerate spice.He won this hunting game. He had won it thoroughly and did not leave Jane any mercy.…“Do you have the money?”The next day, Alora called Jane to her office.Jane shook her head.Alora frowned. “Did you not talk to him?”Jane shook her head again.Alora understood.“We won’t be able to understand the mindset of a rich person. Jane, are you regretting this now?” Obviously, Alora knew something. “Jane, I’ll tell you a piece of bad news. Mr. Stewart
Ding!The lift opened. Jane ignored Jason. When she walked out, Jason grabbed her arm. “No, Jane. You can’t go down now. Y-You have to find somewhere to hide.”“Mr. Dunn, please let go. I have some business I need to take care of.”“No, Jane. They’ll see you if you go down now. Brendan and his gang are gathering here today.” Jason pulled Jane into the lift. “Jane, you don’t want your childhood playmates to see you in this state, right?”Jane stopped breathing, and there was fear in her eyes.
“Jane, you’re not the only person who has been to jail. Why can other people provide for themselves by working hard while you have to stay here and entertain other people? Jane, you’ve become depraved.”Jane’s shoulders were shaking. She pinched the flesh on the outside of her thighs to stop herself from slapping Jason.She lifted her head to look at Jason. She had been calling this man as her big brother for the past 20 years. Those amazing memories together… Her brother’s love for, his prote
"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
