With tears blinding her face, Alice left the bar. After walking some distance from the bar, she stopped at the zebra Crossing, looking at the street absentmindedly.
Her life the pasts ha been harsh and merciless. Life had offered her nothing these days but pain and anguish.
Just a month ago, she had been to his family house an met his parents who had talked to them about getting married soon. Who knows that was just twisted fantasy that can never come true?.
Betrayed by her childhood sweetheart, and actually impregnated her cousin who was way younger than her. Alice felt like her life was ridiculously coming to an end. It was just like a dream that she wished to wake up from as soon as possible.
While contemplating on her messy life, her phone blared from from her phone jolting her back to reality.
"Yes, Alice Lewiston here, who's speaking?"
She was silent for sometimes, after the caller was done, Alice let out a yell making every passer by wonder what call she had gotten to make her yell that much.
She halted the passing taxi and left hurriedly.
Back from the Lamborghini 2023 model that was following her, the man put a call through to the boss. "She suddenly yelled after getting a call President, what Shall I do next?"
There was silence from the other end of the phone before his voice came through.... "Follow her!"
Alice Lewiston got out of the taxi in front of the hospital.
Hurrying towards the stairs, she almost fell.
The man that was following in her in the Lamborghini picked up the phone and dialed the boss again.
"I have followed her per your request, President Clinton, it appears her family member is admitted to the hospital and she appears very anxious. There are some acquitances in the hospital, would you like to talk to them?"
The President was silent, it was until the driver checked the phone that he realized that President Clinton had hung up.
It was actually the first time that he'll ask her to monitor someone and this time it was a woman!
The woman that came out of President Clinton's room this woman, seems this woman had left a Blueprint on President Clinton's heart before she left.
The phone rang again snapping him back, "Yes President?"
"Go over and take took"
"Yes President!"

In the hospital emergency room, Kyle Lewiston, my younger brother, was still undergoing emergency treatment. I was asked to wait for more than an hour, each passing minute increasing my despair, until the door finally opened.
The doctors emerged, looking exhausted. I hurriedly walked over and grabbed one of them. "Doctor, how's Kyle?"
"Are you his sister?" he asked.
"Yes, Doctor. What happened to him?"
"The patient’s vital signs have stabilized. He's out of danger for now," the doctor reassured.
"So, my brother is okay now?"
"Yes, but only for the time being."
"Thank you, Doctor. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much," I said, smiling through my relief as I bowed slightly to the doctor. Then, I rushed towards the general ward where Kyle had been transported.
I sat beside him, holding his pale and frail hands, waiting for him to wake up. When he finally opened his eyes, I asked with relief, "Kyle, are you fine now? Would you like the doctor to come and check on you?"
"Sister, I am fine," the little Kyle replied in a croaky, hoarse voice.
I paused for a moment, overwhelmed with worry. Kyle was my only living family. He was a thirteen-year-old boy attending an athletic school, and one day he had suddenly fainted while running on the field. That was when it was discovered that he had a serious heart problem and needed a heart transplant.
Since then, Kyle had been battling heart problems from time to time. Our uncle, who I was staying with, offered no help to his brother’s children. The only assistance he provided was ensuring the hospital gave me enough time to pay my brother's medical bills without troubling me.
Kyle saw my pale face and was very sad. He reached out with a simple smile masking his sadness and patted my hand lovingly. "It's okay, Sister. I'll be fine with time."
Hearing this made me want to cry. The meager earnings I got from my clothing store were not enough to take care of my frail brother.
"Kyle, you…" Before I could finish my sentence, the door of the ward opened and several doctors trooped in.
I stood up, facing them with a questioning look as if to ask what happened.
"We're here to change Kyle's room," one of the doctors said politely.
I was surprised. Perhaps our uncle had found out that I had broken up with Gaston. He had been unwilling to help us from the start, but when I became engaged to Gaston, he stopped making a fuss. He knew that my marriage to the Veriland family meant huge business deals for him. Now that we had broken up, there was nothing to look forward to.
I felt sad and frightened, sometimes wondering if he was really our uncle. But I couldn’t blame him. Everyone has their own personality.
After packing some of the things Kyle brought, the doctor who spoke earlier instructed his subordinates, "Hurry, send Kyle to the VIP ward!"
I didn’t expect this outcome. My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at the doctor. "VIP? Why?"
"That's what we were instructed to do."
Kyle, lying on the bed, was also puzzled. He tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Sister, what's going on?"
I, too speechless to think straight, replied, "I don't know."
What was really happening? So many surprises in a day. This was too much to handle.
The condition of the VIP ward was much better than that of the ordinary ward. It felt like a home away from home. The room was designed as a single occupancy, but it was more than just a room. It was a complete set, with a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom combined with a toilet. It could be described as a mini house, a place where one could almost forget they were in a hospital.The ward had a breathtaking view of Liverpool from the balcony. On the other side, opening the window revealed a vast, scenic landscape. The usual hospital sterilizing scent was replaced with a refreshing fragrance from the air freshener, making the atmosphere more inviting.As I stood there, taking in the room, a doctor approached and bowed slightly. "Miss Alice, we hope Kyle is comfortable. If you need any help, please let us know."I wasn't used to this newfound respect and quickly replied, "We are satisfied, thank you."The doctor, who seemed to be the leader, looked relieved. "That's good
When I reached the company address given to me, I thought the person Ryu Ken mentioned, Enzo Clinton, was just another employee. I hadn’t imagined it would be such a highly guarded place. Arguing with the security guards at the gate was exhausting, and facing the stern expressions of the employees at the front desk didn’t help.I was scared at first, but thinking of Kyle gave me the courage to proceed. I hadn’t realized that the Enzo Clinton I came for was the boss, so I didn’t say anything to the staff at the front desk. Instead, I walked to the nearby resting area and took a seat, waiting for Enzo Clinton to get off work.After sitting there for a long time, I noticed the front desk employees mocking me. One of them walked towards me and asked, "Who are you looking for?"Composing myself, I replied curtly, "Oh, never mind. He’ll soon clock out."The staff member was amused but tried to suppress her laughter. "Who are you talking about?""Enzo Clinton. I heard he works here, and this
My heart was pounding as I stood there, arms akimbo, facing Enzo Clinton’s personal assistant. The PA gently tapped on the door. From the other side, a deep baritone voice, cold and magnetic, invited us in. Just from the sound of his voice, I felt like the person behind it must have been a soldier in a past life.Nervously, I followed Personal Assistant Tony into the room. As soon as we entered, he bowed toward the man whose head was bent over a file. “President, Miss Lewiston is here,” he announced, then promptly left the room, leaving me alone to state my mission.I glanced around the room, filled with a distinctly masculine aura. Most of the furniture was either black or grey, giving the office a simple but somewhat dull appearance. The potted flowers by the window added a touch of color to the otherwise bland décor. The man, still engrossed in his file, seemed to ignore my presence. I took a secret peek at him and felt the powerful aura he exuded. His eyebrows were thick and neat
This time, I was sure I hadn’t misheard him. I was too shocked to react. I had thought he would ask for millions of dollars or perhaps for me to be his maid, but I never expected him to ask for my hand in marriage.It was too ridiculous. He had money, fame, and a handsome face that no woman would want to resist. Why was he so bent on making me his wife?I found it unbelievable. "Mr. Clinton, are you serious right now?""Do I look like a comedian or someone with time for joking?""But why marriage? Why should I marry you?"He had everything. Why would he want to marry someone he met for the first time? Did he have some kind of harem? Did he marry everyone who came to ask him for help? Did he want to make me one of his wives?As if he guessed what I was thinking, he frowned, his expression turning darker. Then he slowly walked up to me and pulled me into his arms."Oops," I groaned as I bumped into his hard, firm chest. It felt like hitting a rock, and my nose even turned red.Before I
He called a few people, discussing business, contracts, and all that. We got a marriage certificate and took pictures together.I looked at the paper in my hand bearing both of our pictures. I felt like crying. Did I just get married? Just like that?I imagined it in different dimensions and several phases, but none of them seemed realistic under such circumstances.As we both sat in the car, I was still lost in my thoughts about the sudden marriage. Enzo glanced at me, his new little wife. He seemed to study my features. I could feel his eyes on me. I knew I was very beautiful, with my small face and big eyes. My lips were full and my brows thick. Up until now I know, the ladies he ever got to meet either had plastic surgery done or used different layers of cosmetics. But I was just me, natural and composed.He placed a hand on my nervously shaking ones. "Alice, don't look like our marriage is a doom for you. You might think that this marriage of convenience is a bad thing, but be pa
Kyle was shocked to see his sister being held on the waist like a little girl. He was playing video games on his phone when they entered and was more shocked when the man that held her removed his dark glasses.Kyle can't help the shock that escaped his mouth. The man before him was like a Mafia male god in a video game. He's an ardent video game player, he knows every Character in such games by heart. "Sis, did you rent Diego Romero the Mafia male god to cure me?" He asked in wonderment.Alice disentangle from his hands and walked over to her brother timidly and pulled the hem of his hospital gown. "Stop it Kyle, show your Respects"Before Kyle could have to ask questions, the man's face that was screwed up in a deep frown broke into a very handsome and incomprehensible smile. He extended his hand for a shake, "Hello brother in-law, I am Enzo Clinton" Kyle looked at her sister shock, she was looking down in nervousness, Enzo Clinton's hand was still outstretched. When there w
After he left, Kyle dropped the game and faced his sister with keen eyes, "Now tell me sister, what's going on?"He was worried that she might have sold herself to him after getting heartbroken by Gaston. He thought that his sister might actually dated Enzo Because she wanted to spite Judy and Gaston.But thinking back to it again, that brother in-law just now too is too hot to handle, not someone that can agree to something without any gain.Alice felt that there's no reason to hide from her brother again, then she came clean, "You see Kyle, that man gives us 90%of your recovery rate if I married him, he will help with your surgery and you'll be free from the hospital bed for life"Kyle jumped up in shock! He didn't expect his sister to go to such extents "Sis you did what? So you're saying you married him so that he can perform my surgery?" "Yes, but don't worry, I'll divorce him after he performed the surgery, so don't worry about me and focus on getting recovered, that's all that
I looked at the chauffeur who had come out of the car to open the door for me. "Why are we here?""President says you should shop for clothes and anything else you might need.""What? Is your president picking his own money from the floor?""What?" The chauffeur was surprised at my question.I almost exposed myself right then. If I wasn't careful, the driver would have known that I didn't know much about my husband. My new husband was truly wealthy."Oh yes, madam." The chauffeur took a black card out of his bag and handed it to me. "President asks me to hand this to you. It's a platinum credit card. You can use it however you like.""Is he monetarily insane? Why would he give me a platinum credit card?" I wondered as I looked at the card, still reeling from the surprise. "Actually, I don't need it. It's alright, I really don't need it."I never had the habit of spending a man's money. I didn't want to know if this man was my husband in name or for real. While I was dating Gaston Veri
Alice asked again, "If you can meet a condition can I still consider divorcing him?""what?""Give me 10 billion. I believe this money should be nothing for the Clinton family. So, if you can give me 10 billion, I will consider divorce.""What are you talking about?" Mrs. Clinton opened her eyes wide, with an incredible expression on her face, only to feel that she had misheard.Alice pursed her lips, smiling and repeating what she had just said.This time, Mrs. Clinton heard clearly.Her face was extremely ugly and displeased, "Alice Clinton you greedy witch, 10 billion? Did you think you worth that much?"Alice narrowed her eyes. Of course, the 10 billion worth nothing much to the Clinton family networth. But she was determined, that if this is what Mrs Clinton wants to hear from her, then she's ready to give her.Mrs Clinton also glared at the lady standing before her with hatred. She wondered what more bad characters she has because her original plan was to give her a few hundred
Back outside in the garden, Mrs Clinton's attitude is very strong.Alice did not give in. She looked at her humbly and wordlessly, repeating what she had said just now "Mom, I still said what I said just now, and I cannot divorce him. Enzo and I love ourselves. There are no emotional issues, no other issues. We get along well and care about each other.""I like to be with him and I want to stay with him for a long time. I really can't agree with your request.""Do you like him?" Mrs Clinton's eyes were full of anger and sneered. "Do you like my son or his money? Don't think I don't know what a woman like you is thinking about. You just want to change your class by getting married, want to sparrow on the branches and change into a phoenix? If he has no money and no power, would you still like him? You have a bit of demeanor in battle, so your face is confused by my son, Coaxing him because you can touch him to pull a marriage certificate with you.""Don't you think you're so shameless?
Back in the house, Enzo didn't go update, he decided to wait for his wife before sleeping, just then, "Enzo."Serena's voice rang at this time.Enzo frowned slightly and turned to look at her.Serena pinched her sleeves and stood up, she gently bit her lip corner "Last time, I am sorry for whatever had happened. I don't have chance to tell you sorry because I'm so ashamed of myself that's why I left for Paris. I'm influenced by Judy Lewiston that sly force, will you forgive me?"Enzo stared at her for a few seconds, his brow furrowed tighter, and his voice was a little cold, "Apologize? Can apology fix what you did? Also, the person you should apologize is not me!"His indifferent attitude made Serena's face a bit ugly.Serena already felt it.Since the last time she left for Paris and came back, Enzo has been very cold to her.Enzo who seems irritated by her presence left angrily. Old Mrs Clinton came into the sitting just in in time, Serena rushed to her. "Grandma, let me help y
Alice gazed at her and couldn't help her footsteps.She hesitated for a few seconds and then whispered, "Mom..."Hearing her name, Mrs Clinton's eyes flashed with disgust, and her lips twitched coldly, reaching for the opposite position and saying, "Come on, let's sit down first."Alice didn't ignore the trace of disgust in Mrs Clinton's eyes.She knew that Mrs. Clinton did not like her.However, such unabashed disgust showed Alice as if it had been stabbed in her heart, which was a bit uncomfortable.But she was still indifferent.She walked across from Mrs. Clinton and sat down. After asking for a cup of coffee with the butler, she turned to look at Mrs Clinton. After hesitating, she decided to ask: "Mom, what did you want to tell me?" Mrs. Clinton took a sip of the coffee in front of her and frowned at it.Presumably, the coffee here doesn't suit her appetite.She took a sip and let go.Although this is a five-star hotel cofee recipe for ordinary people, the consumption and grade
Her face became hotter and hotter, and she looked up at him shyly and angrily.But what she met was the gentle and spoiled gaze of the man. The dark and charming eyes were full of spoiled eyes. When looking at her, her eyes were focused as if everything around him had become the background. Only her alone.The heart was messed up for no reason, beating fast and pounding.On the opposite sofa, Serena looked at this scene, and the jealousy in her eyes came out again.Enzo's tenderness, like a knife, stabbed hard at her heart.She had dreamed that she had n goever treated him so gently.She could see that Enzo really liked Alice.If she had been deceiving herself before, thinking that he would marry Alice for special reasons, it’s good for her, now.Does she deceive herself now?After everything she had done in the past to get Alice off his life but she keeps reappearing one way or the other."Thank you mom." Alice accepted the gift that Enzo's mum had presented her and cleverly thanked
Serena looked at Mrs Clinton's somber face and felt a little bit happy in her heart.As long as Mrs. Clinton does not like Alice, her life at the family will not be too good.She lowered her eyes and pretended to be in contemplation. After waiting a few seconds, she said: "I guess Alice's family background should not be very good. She is afraid that you will not agree with her and Enzo maybe that's why she find everyway to be able to touch him so she became his wife""In this way, even if you object, it's useless.""You mean, she asked Enzo to do this?" Mrs Clinton asked in Surprise.Serena pursed her lips, "I understand Enzo, he is not such a person who does not respect you. This should not be his own idea. He is now spoiling Alice, naturally he is listening to what Alice said."Mrs. Clinton squeezed her fingers angrily: "Is Enzo really serious about her?"All these while, Enzo and Alice were at Grandma's side not hearing any of this. "Aunt, if you were on the scene that day, you w
Her grandson really had a good taste to bring such an good wife. Only such a beautiful little girl is worthy of her baby grandson.Except for Enzo, no one else in the Clinton family knew that grandma likes granddaughter in-laws with good looks.It’s easy to please her, as long as she looks good enough.The more beautiful, the more she likes it.And Alice not only looks good, but also looks like the old lady likes.Even Alice didn't know that she actually won the old lady's approval by her face.If she knew, she would definitely find an opportunity to introduce Camilla to the old lady.After all, they are both still young, no matter how old they are, they can always find common topics."Go, take out the gift I prepared for Alice." After the old lady recognized Enzo's wife, even the title changed, and Alice sounded very intimately.There is a lot of fun here.On the other side, Mrs. Clinton and Serena, who were sitting intimately, looked less beautiful.Serena is the daughter-in-law ide
The middle-aged woman is about forty years of age, with good looks, fair skin, and elegant temperament.At first glance, it's a girlish lady from a famous family.That face is seven points similar to Enzo.Alice guessed that it should be Enzo's mother.Worthy of being famous, the look of the whole body is different from ordinary people.There was still a man sitting on the sofa in the middle.He is an old woman in his 60s. Like a middle-aged woman, she has a very good temperament. Even if she is over hundred year old, you can see that she must be a great beauty when she is young.The rich lady's old lady looks differently.The old woman has a ruddy complexion and full of energy. It can be seen from her that she must have lived a very superior life for a long time in order to nourish this elegant and noble temperament that is different from ordinary people.No need to guess, Alice knew she must be Enzo's grandmother.Suddenly facing Enzo's mother, his grandmother and Serena, Alice felt
The next weekend, they packed whatever may needed and left for Enzo's neighborhood. Alice felt that Enzo lived in a place that was large and luxurious.But when the car drove into Clinton's Mansion, she couldn't explain the gasp that escape her lips. The Mansion is way more bigger than Emerald Villa where they reside. The old Mansion of the Clinton family is just like the Forest Park. After entering the gate, they drove for more than ten minutes before it reached the residential area.There are towering trees and pavilions everywhere.She had the illusion of entering the courtyard of the ancient royal palace.The architectural style of the Clinton's old house has a classic charm, and it can be seen that the plants and trees here are some years old.It is a real old house.It can be seen from this point that the Clinton family is a real celebrity an Wealthy family.It is absolutely different from those rich upstarts.At least three generations or more are very rich.Compared with
