Even though the New Year was almost over, the weather in Lunaris was still very cold.
In those days, Elena didn't go out at all, she stayed at home all day, but she still dressed herself up beautifully.
She had always been a woman who loved beauty.
Although her face was ruined, she did not give up on herself, because beautiful makeup was equally important.
She turned her back, hiding her scarred face from view. Even just looking at her silhouette, one would still consider her an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Her slender waist was just a handful, her golden, big wavy hair casually draped over it.
Lifting the soup to take a few big gulps, Alexander's gaze fell on Elena's back.
She was wearing a bright red coat today, the color of blood, so red that it was somewhat startling.
He stared at her for quite a while, Alexander didn't take his eyes off her. Logically, she shouldn't have obeyed him as she used to.
Could it be that
It hit Alexander's head hard."It was you, it was you, it was you, it was you, it was you!"With every smash, Elena roared, putting all her strength into each one.Blood splattered, splashing on her face, falling into her eyes - a sea of crimson.She kept smashing until all her strength was exhausted. Only then, panting, did she stop.Alexander was already unrecognizable.She smashed it."Hahaha..." Looking at her own masterpiece, Elena suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out.Tears and blood, mixed together.Bitter, sweet, and pungent, just like her life.Suddenly, she lost all her strength and collapsed weakly next to Alexander's body.She stared blankly at the unrecognizable corpse, then suddenly, she reached out and embraced him."Alexander, was Ellie beautiful?"She asked.No answer.Only the color of blood was spreading infinitely.After a
These past few days, due to health reasons, Isabella always got up relatively late, usually arriving at the studio around ten in the morning.Seeing her come in, Lila quickly poured her a glass of boiled water. She watched as she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she didn't say anything."Lila, are you trying to play charades with me?" They had been friends for so many years, how could Isabella not tell that Lila had something to say to her.Lila thought again, even if she didn't tell Isabella, but this matter was so big, Isabella would soon know. It would be better to let her say it, and it could also serve as a reminder to Isabella.She first helped Isabella sit down, then slowly asked, "Izzy, what is your current attitude towards Alexander?""Why did you suddenly mention that person?" Isabella asked.To be honest, all her thoughts had been on Quinn and the child for quite some time. She hadn't thought about those past events and
It was precisely because Alexander had been escorting her all the way, and Kason's attitude towards Isabella was fairly good, that she could capriciously do what she wanted to do.During the college entrance examination, Isabella was admitted to the best university in Lunaris with the highest score, but that was Kason's wish, not hers. What she wanted to study was fashion design.Kason was very angry about this matter. In his rage, he punished her by not allowing her to eat dinner and, furthermore, made her stand as punishment.This matter was known to Alexander, who climbed over the wall from their villa, ascended a large tree to the upper floor of her house, and gave her the packed chicken legs and hot rice. "Izzy, eat quickly.""Alexander, you've always been the best to me." She took the lunch box, looking at him with a smile of pure joy."Who will treat you well if I don't?" Alexander said, not without pride, as he affectionately ruffled her ha
"Wasn't it you?" The speaker turned back into Alexander, who stepped forward and grabbed her by the throat, "Izzy, we were once the closest people to you, yet you conspired with someone else to frame us.""I didn't--" Isabella tried to speak, but he choked her throat. Her face swelled up red, breathing became more and more difficult, and she couldn't utter a word."Isabella, do you know how sordid your birth was? Kason treated your mother like a plaything, giving her to other men, and it was under such unbearable circumstances that she conceived you.""Take another look at who Quinn is? He's Qadir, the one who controls the Grand Group. He's someone that many people can't reach. Now look at you, what's your status? What gives you the right to stand by his side, to take the place of his wife?""Did you think that carrying his child would keep him tied to you? Did you think his promises to you would always hold true?""The only reason he was still wit
Isabella didn't know why, but the nicer Quinn was to her, the more uneasy she felt. She was terrified that one day she would open her eyes and he would no longer be by her side, and she would never be able to find him again.If he hadn't been so good to her, even if one day he was no longer by her side, she would have been able to adapt to a new life quickly.But back then—Back then, she found herself increasingly reluctant to leave him. Even dreaming of him saying he wanted to break up would cause her such heartache.Although he said the breakup was in a dream, she still felt a lingering fear at this moment."Isabella, can you tell me what's on your mind?" Quinn asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his gaze deep and profound.Isabella had been frequently distracted recently. Quinn knew she was hiding something in her heart, but he just couldn't guess what it was.She was still eating at that moment, and he was still by her s
"I want to have a word with Elena alone," Isabella said."Then I'll go ahead and wait for Ms. Isabella. If you need anything, just call out." With that, Ashford turned around and walked away, leaving behind a smile.Isabella took a deep breath of cool air, returning once again to the window. In the room, Elena was quietly looking in the direction of the window, her gaze as silent as death.Isabella's gaze fell on Elena's face, looking at her unrecognizable face, she thought of many things from the past.Once upon a time, Elena was so radiant and dazzling. Back then, so many boys in their circle wanted to pursue her, but they were all gently rejected by her one by one.It was not until later that Isabella found out that Elena's heart had always been with Alexander, with marrying him as her lifelong pursuit."Are you here to mock me?" Elena suddenly burst into laughter. Her cold laughter was particularly eerie and terrifying in this quiet cour
Seed drill?No sooner had Isabella's words left her mouth than she felt a pain on her lips. Before she could react, she was forcefully kissed by Quinn.He forcefully and dominantly pried open her shell-like teeth, invaded her mouth, and compelled her to accept his assertive kiss."Uh—" Isabella swung her fists, pounding them one after another on his solid chest, "Bastard, let me go!"She muttered indistinctly, but Quinn paid her no mind, kissing her like a furious lion.His kiss was too dominant, and soon Isabella had no strength to struggle, but she was not one to give up easily.Isabella couldn't push him away, nor could she hurt him by hitting. This man was not only incredibly strong, but his muscles were also astonishingly solid.Isabella was so angry, perhaps even blinded by rage, that she thrust her hand into his suit collar and fiercely grabbed at his chest through his shirt.Quinn's body shuddered slightly, he qui
Ashford understood very well why Qadir didn't step forward to do these things directly, but instead used him as a pawn.That was because Qadir wanted his wife to see his dark side, and couldn't bring Isabella, who stood in the sunshine, into his dark world.Back then, when Isabella came to him behind Qadir's back, wasn't it also in her heart that she didn't want to bring Qadir into the dark world?The couple was indeed very interesting. They would rather step into the dark world themselves, but both wanted to protect the other's lifetime of sunshine.***The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and Quinn hurriedly rushed in, carrying Isabella in his arms.Seeing his anxious look, Isabella reassured him, "It's just a little pain, it won't be a problem, don't worry too much."Quinn said in a deep voice, "Don't speak."Isabella. "..."She just didn't want him to worry, why was he angry with her?Before coming
How Quinn wished she would say more! He had so many things he wanted to tell her, he wanted to know how she had spent these past three years.He wanted to tell her that their Izzy II was already three years old, very cute and sensible, and sometimes quite a handful.But all of these, he couldn't tell her now.Or, didn't know how to start.His wife, his Isabella, she no longer remembered their past."Iris?" Quinn repeated her Slendish name a few times, laughing, "Iris is a very nice and interesting name, the goddess of starry night in mythology. I suppose your Celestian name must also be very nice."Suddenly hearing someone ask for her Celestian name, Iris couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. After a moment's hesitation, she still said, "I fell seriously ill two years ago and forgot everything from before. My father didn't tell me my Celestian name, but he calls me Izzy."- Izzy.The tip of the tongue touched the lower teet
The rapidly descending elevator suddenly got stuck and did not continue to descend.The scream in the elevator stopped abruptly, but Isabella's fists did not. She seemed to be greatly frightened, treating the person holding her as a ferocious beast.Quinn held her tightly, constantly comforting her, "Isabella, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay, I will never let anything happen to you again, never again—"Three years ago, he lost her and he has been filled with regret ever since.If he were to encounter her now, no matter the cost, he would absolutely not let her suffer the slightest harm again. No one could hurt her anymore.Quinn held Isabella tightly, instructing, "Anyone with a phone, take it out for lighting, and immediately press the emergency button to notify the property management."Hearing his calm voice, the trapped people in the elevator were like they had taken a sedative, no one made a fuss o
Because there was hope, there were countless disappointments.This time, Quinn did not act immediately, but quietly watched the woman, whose silhouette resembled that of his Isabella, walk further and further away.Just as she turned the corner and disappeared from his line of sight, Quinn could no longer care about anything else, and he rushed out of the crowd surrounding him.Regardless of whether that person was his Isabella or not, even if the truth would disappoint him, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.He would rather be disappointed again than miss any opportunity that might lead him to her.Quinn suddenly ran off, and for reasons unknown, everyone else followed him."Mr. Ashton..."The one who called out to him was Braylon. After finishing the matters here, there was still a very important meeting waiting for him. He had no time to delay."Don't follow me," Quinn said without turning his head.As s
The StylePulse Show was world-class. After the event, not only did the models' value skyrocket, but the attention received by the backstage designers also significantly increased.Although the designers did not have as much exposure in front of the audience as the models, their status in the fashion industry was far higher than that of the models, and those who won awards were extremely popular for a time.After Iris won the award, there wasn't much change in her life, because her father managed all her affairs. She just needed to draw her design drafts, and life was still very comfortable.On the third day of arriving at Northbay, Kason had already accepted an announcement for Iris, it was an interview program for a fashion segment on a certain TV station in Northbay.Designers always worked behind the scenes, and Iris had never made a public appearance over the years. Suddenly hearing such news, she was resistant internally. However, when she saw the ho
Quinn looked in the direction Izzy II was pointing, but still saw nothing, finally shaking his head in frustration.What has been going on with him recently?Even seeing a simple heart-shaped band-aid, or hearing some childish words from Izzy II, he could associate everything with Isabella."Daddy, Izzy was hungry, she wanted to eat red strawberries and sweet chocolate." Izzy II raised her little hands to hold her father's face, and said seriously with a soft voice.Soon, Izzy II could no longer remember Izzy I who had just helped her, she was just craving for delicious food."Does Izzy want to eat?" Looking at his daughter's twinkling big eyes, Quinn couldn't help but lean down and kiss her rosy cheeks."Kiss for five hundred bucks." Izzy II spread her hands, said softly, "Daddy, give money."Quinn asked, "Does Izzy want money? Or does she want strawberries?"Hearing her father's words, Izzy tilted her little head and blinked
The little girl first looked at Iris with a shocked expression, then stretched out her hand, pointing at Iris, "You are Izzy I," then pointed at herself, "I am Izzy II." Then she made a "2" with her chubby little hand, "We, two Izzys!"Izzy II looked so adorable that Izzy I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So Izzy II, why aren't your family members with you?"Such a lovely child was left here just like that. If it weren't for her conscience, Iris really wanted to take this child home and raise it herself."Tania was over there, and so was Ethan," Izzy II pointed behind her, not far off. There stood a woman and several bodyguards, their gaze fixed intently in this direction. Not a single move escaped their watchful eyes.Iris understood in an instant, it wasn't that no one was watching her, but rather, there were too many people watching her. Perhaps the little one didn't want so many people following her, so those people could only watch her from a dist
Iris had spent the past three years, the years she could remember, living in the city of Serenova. She had grown accustomed to the pace of life and the environment in this city. She particularly loved the city's fashionable atmosphere and deep down, she didn't want to return to her home country to develop her career.But her father was very good to her, he gave a lot for her.Her mother passed away early, and her father, in order to take care of her, did not remarry. It could be said that he devoted all his thoughts and efforts to her throughout his life.Her father, in order to take care of her, had almost given up his own life, placing all his hopes on her. He gave her enough space and trust, allowing her to excel in the field she loved.This kindness, Iris had no way to repay. So, now that her father was old and wanted to return to his birthplace, she had no reason not to accompany him.Fortunately, the nature of her job was relatively flexible.
The StylePulse Show concluded, with Iris winning both the Newcomer Award and the Best Fashion Award, becoming the first young designer in the history of the StylePulse Show to win both the Newcomer Award and the Best Fashion Award.As Iris received the trophy, she also got a substantial amount of prize money. More importantly, she finally achieved her life's dream of becoming a designer recognized by professionals.For Iris, the most important thing was that, once she had status and position, she could naturally earn more and more money. Then, she could live in a bigger house with her father and lead a better life.Three years ago, Iris had suffered from a severe illness. After recovering from the illness, she had forgotten all her previous memories, she didn't even know who she was.Fortunately, her father was by her side, helping her recover her previous memories, and also helped her rediscover her talent for fashion design, which enabled her to achieve
Arriving at Misty's little house, at first glance of Misty, Quinn could hardly recognize it.In just a short period of absence, Misty, who was originally as fat as a round ball, had suddenly lost a lot of weight, becoming quite thin and flat.It lay in its little house, weak and powerless, looking as if it could take its last breath at any moment."Misty..." Quinn crouched beside it, calling it softly while reaching out to stroke its head."Woof woof--" Upon hearing Quinn's voice, Misty struggled to open its eyes. Its eyeballs rolled around, seemingly glistening with tears."Misty, don't be afraid. Daddy has called the doctor, and the doctor will be here soon." Quinn picked it up, holding it carefully in his arms."Woo woo--" Misty whimpered again, shaking its little head gently, as if saying it didn't want to see the doctor, it wanted to leave with its mother. But its mother was no longer there, and there was no point in it staying. It want
