Screech!Dos finally caught up. When he looked up, he was astonished… The police station?What was he doing here?With no time to think, Dos got out of the car and rushed inside.…“Keep this somewhere safe, Miss. Here’s your new identity card.”“Thank…” Before she could finish her sentence, a hand came into view suddenly as it snatched the identity card away from the staff at the counter.“You’ve got the wrong one. This is my Identity…” Jane turned around and froze at once. Her pale li
He dragged her out of the lobby and trotted toward the car.“Let go, let go! You’re hurting me!” Whilst holding the back of her waist, the woman struggled to break free from the man’s iron grip.The man ignored her as he stuffed her into the back passenger seat violently and climbed inside himself. Dos understood what was going on at once and hurried over to get into the driver’s seat.A partition rose between the front and back seats. Jane panicked when she heard the mechanical sound of the
“Mm!”It was useless to struggle.It was useless to resist.She tried tussling but was restrained by his iron grip.She bit down hard so that he could have a taste of splitting pain.Unfortunately, he did not feel any pain. Instead, a crack was heard coming from her jaw. What followed after the crisp crunching sound of bones was the pain that shot through her jaw. The pain was no less than the scalpel slicing through the back of her waist back then!She was gasping desperately. The pain sh
As long as she behaved, then there would be no more pain. It sounded so easy… Why would she not want to do it?"You don't need to go to Storge anymore.""…" Why? The woman opened and closed her mouth a few times, eventually swallowing her question that carried a hint of defiance back into her stomach… As long as she behaved, then there would be no more pain… "…Mm.""Hand over the current projects and everything else related to Storge to someone you trust and let that person handle it… That Vi
Occasionally when he was tired, he would walk to the french window to see her in the backyard holding onto her pant leg with her bare feet. She had not looked the slightest bit reserved and gentle when she laid on the lawn flat on her back.As the thought of it, he realized that these memories were etched incredibly deep into his mind. He was actually looking forward to seeing what the future held.The woman next to him disagreed, though.Her shoulders shuddered… Stewart manor contained too m
Why was she here?How could she come here?How could Sir bring her in here?This was the place Rosaline grew up in. This woman was not welcome here!The old butler’s gray hair was hanging over his forehead, and his veins were protruding.He tried his best to suppress the rage that was roaring in his chest!He was the Stewarts’ old butler after all. For generations, they had served the Stewarts. At this moment, the old butler tried his best to endure. The chord in his head was about to snap
“Get some rest. I’ll ask Alora to go shopping with you after lunch.” Sean led Jane into a bedroom.Jane was actually familiar with the structure of the manor. When he led her to the second floor, she already knew where she was about to stay. Naturally, Sean did not know what she was currently thinking about because he did not notice the conflicted look on the woman’s face.He simply led her into the house, gave her some simple instructions, turned around, and left.Jane, on the other hand, st
The man busily worked in the study for the entire day. He ate a quick lunch before going into the study again in a hurry.He simply asked Jane to seek the servants’ help if she needed anything done.Jane sat at the long corridor outside the manor and watched the gardener in the manor trim the grass and flowers. The sun was warm; the sky was blue; even the breeze carried an indistinct fragrance with it. She was put in a trance as though she had traveled back in time.No one interrupted her. Unknowingly, she dozed off while lying on the bamboo bench.Everything was perfect, so perfect that it seemed unreal.If the straight and rigid figure standing at the end of the corridor could be ignored, then everything would be even more perfect.At the end of the long corridor not far away, the man’s silver-white hair danced with the breeze, failing to conceal the loathing in those hazy eyes below the grey eyebrows. The old butler held onto the pillar for balance. His aged eyes were beyond
"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
