The next morning, Elijah woke up just after eight. Marcia was still asleep, resting her head on his arm, with one hand wrapped around his waist. Her breathing was calm and steady, eyes closed, making her look as serene as ever.

Elijah frowned slightly. He never considered her particularly beautiful, but she was captivating in a way he couldn't ignore. Her personality wasn't exactly charming, her appearance unremarkable, and her aura too cold.

He couldn't quite understand what drew him to her.

Before coming to Liverpool, he had investigated her several times.

The identity created for her, "Patricia Roberts," was that of a 29-year-old woman with a relatively smooth life. She had studied in the U.S. for four years and had two relationships there. The most significant hardship she'd faced was losing both parents in a car accident two years ago, which had driven her to return to her homeland.

Calvin, who had introduced "Patricia," had said they barely knew each other, though she was compet

    Although Marcia was briefly enchanted by sweet words and a handsome face, after dinner, she didn't actually follow Elijah to the church for vows. Currently, she doesn't have a real ID that could pass government scrutiny—all her IDs are fake.This time, however, Elijah didn't push her. With an unusual gentleness, he said, "Go change clothes; we're going to work."Taking her hand, he led her to the bedroom and picked out a red dress for her, a vibrant color that, in Marcia's opinion, was a little too short.She tugged at the dress uncomfortably, her hands slightly sweaty with nerves. "I don't think red suits me. Does it look strange?"Elijah chuckled softly, sounding genuinely sincere. "It looks good. You should wear bright colors more often." He gestured to the closet. "Feel free to wear anything from here."Even without checking the labels, Marcia knew the clothes he picked wouldn't come cheap. She intended to refuse but instead found herself asking, "Did you buy these?""They were gi

    Booth shivered in fear. "Sir.""Is this how you hit on my secretary while I was gone?" Elijah's tone was light, but Booth felt his legs weaken.He chuckled nervously, "Sir, you misunderstand. I just had a question for Patricia, not... hitting on her..."Ignoring him, Elijah turned to Marcia and said mildly, "I have something to take care of. You can leave work early and GO HOME." He emphasized the words "go home."Marcia noticed and glanced at the tense Booth beside her, recalling his gossip from earlier. She blurted out, "Sir, where are you going?"Elijah raised an eyebrow, pausing without a word.Marcia bit her lip, "I was planning to go to a bar with Booth after work. I just didn't want to be unreachable if you needed me."Booth, feeling the chill of Elijah's gaze on him, quickly said, "Sir, there's a group of us going. It's not just the two of us."Elijah gave him a cold look and said to Marcia, "I won't be contacting you tonight. Booth, HAVE FUN!" With that, he turned and walked

    There's a saying: All men are fickle.From Marcia's experiences, she knew it was more than that—men could be ruthless in ways women couldn't even imagine.Still, she had always thought that Claire and Fidel were different.They'd been together since high school. When Claire worked as Marcia's assistant, Fidel was still in medical school. Claire split her paycheck three ways: the smallest part went towards her rent and living expenses, another portion was sent back to her family, and the biggest share went to support Fidel.Back then, Claire often talked about the day Fidel would become a doctor and how they'd get married and live happily ever after.Marcia, lost in the bliss of her own relationship with Alan at the time, used to dream of both their happy endings but couldn't help feeling sorry for Claire.While other girls begged their boyfriends to take them to the movies or buy them gifts, Claire worked extra hours. When other girls were upset and needed their boyfriends' comfort, C

    Claire was doing her makeup, but when she looked in the mirror, she found the reflection unbearably unattractive.She thought about the woman in Fidel's phone—the fair skin, the flawless makeup, the perfect figure—she couldn't compare at all.Frustrated, Claire punched the mirror, not wanting to see her own face. Marcia grabbed her, shouting to Nicole, "What are you standing there for? Help me hold her down!"Nicole hesitated, glancing at the blood on Claire's hand and muttering, "But this dress is limited edition!" Still, she rushed over to help.Claire sobbed and struggled, crying, "I'll kill them!" Her hands were covered in blood, but she didn't seem to feel any pain.It took both of them an enormous effort to calm her down. Seeing the shards of glass in Claire's hands, Marcia suggested, "Maybe we should take her to the hospital?"Nicole looked down at her now-bloodstained white dress, her face twisted in disgust. "The hospital? Like hell! If anyone sees me like this, they'll think

    Demon was a five-story modern building, different from typical red-light districts. The women here came from all over the world, representing every type imaginable.As Marcia entered the lobby, it was clear that this was the busiest floor, and also the most affordable.In the center was a stage where a woman provocatively danced, stripping while a crowd of drunken men cheered and hollered. Some men, unable to restrain their urges, clutched the women beside them, touching and kissing without shame. This place was a den of pure indulgence.Marcia couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself: Is Elijah really here? She felt a sting of jealousy.He was whispering sweet things to her this morning, and now he's here? She couldn't help but think, Men really can't be trusted."Hey there, gorgeous! New here? I don't think I've seen you around before!"Just as she spotted the elevator, a drunken man blocked her path.He looked at Marcia's cold, impatient expression and belched, leering. "Well,

    Elijah? When did he arrive? How much of that did he hear just now?A sharp alarm went off in Marcia's mind, and she stammered, "I—""Shh..." Elijah placed his finger gently on her red lips, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Just choose?"No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of men in dark blue uniforms appeared behind them, blocking Fidel and Sherry's path.Fidel was still composed, his eyes filled with suspicion. But Sherry, her face as pale as a sheet, collapsed to the ground, not even a shred of resistance left in her."What are you trying to do?"Sherry seemed to recognize a few of the men and cried out anxiously. "Where's my boss? Call my boss out! I'm just doing my job, I haven't done anything wrong. Why are you doing this to me?"The men stood silent, their faces impassive, staring at Marcia, seemingly waiting for her to speak.Marcia's breathing grew shallow as she looked at Elijah, her hand trembling as she gestured toward Fidel. "My friend is still wait

    Marcia followed Elijah into the car, and the playful mood caused by the others' teasing faded as the two of them were alone. The quiet between them made her uneasy.She stole a glance at Elijah. His shirt was unbuttoned at several points, and his usually neat hair was loosened, giving him a slightly wild and untamed look."Sir," Marcia hesitated, "if you've been drinking, you shouldn't drive."Elijah shook his head. "I haven't been drinking."But he didn't look sober. His eyes were wild, full of energy, even hinting at a suppressed anger. There was something magnetic and almost provocative about him in the dim light.Marcia's throat tightened. She whispered, "Do you have something you want to ask me?""Do you have something to confess?" Elijah's gaze burned like fire as it lingered on her anxious face, making her shiver. "If you don't have anything to confess, then I have no questions."Marcia quickly lowered her head, her palms sweaty, too afraid to speak.Nervously, she fidgeted wit

    The next day, Marcia woke up to find it was already noon.Claire was sitting by her bedside, looking drained but still in decent spirits."You're awake?" Claire asked softly.Marcia took her hand in hers. "Claire, are you okay?"Claire forced a smile, trying to sound carefree as she shrugged. "I broke up. I'm single again."Hearing this, Marcia tightened her grip on Claire's hand but didn't ask about what happened last night after she fainted. She wasn't sure how to bring it up, and even if she did, she didn't dare to.Both Elijah and Kevin were sitting on the sofa in the room. When they saw Marcia awake, they both visibly relaxed. Kevin chuckled, "You scared us. Just passed out without saying a word. What's wrong with you?"Elijah, however, asked seriously, "Was it because of my driving?"Marcia shook her head. "I don't know why I fainted. Nicole, and the two gentlemen, have they left?"Kevin nodded. "Nicole went off to film an ad. Chubby took her. As for the other two... they're bus

    Elijah frowned. "Impossible?" He couldn't understand. "But then... how could you? No, we're going to the hospital right now! The doctors I know are far more reliable than him. I've always found him suspicious. Let's get you checked first, then we can talk about this.""Are you not happy that I can conceive?"Elijah shook his head. "How could I not be happy? But I don't trust him. Let's go to the hospital, okay?"He was overwhelmed with joy, but beneath that joy lay deep concern. If Jeff was lying, how would Marcia handle it? He could live without a child, but he couldn't bear to see Marcia fall into despair again.He never wanted to see her cry. That pain would be far worse than not having a child."Eli, sit down first." Marcia dared not let him take her to the hospital—if they found out she had recently lost a pregnancy, things would be disastrous."The surgery two years ago... Jeff was actually the lead surgeon." Marcia watched Elijah's expression darken as her voice unconsciously d

    Marcia leaned against Elijah's chest, yet a slight unease crept into her heart.She still remembered Jeff's instructions—no intimacy for a month. But when she stole a glance at Elijah, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression serious. For some reason, her heart softened again and again."Eli, what are you thinking about?"Hearing the slight anxiety in Marcia's voice, Elijah held her tightly, resting his head against her neck. His voice was low and gentle. "Nothing. I just think... it's really good that you're here.""Myron is really getting engaged? To... that Nancy?" Marcia traced her fingers over his firm arm, feeling a growing sense of security.She wished she could rely on him like this forever."Mm." Elijah's response was muffled, carrying a hint of an unspoken heaviness.Marcia thought for a moment. "His family has a rule that a man can only marry one woman in his lifetime, right? Does your family have a rule like that?"Elijah chuckled lightly and ran his fingers through

    Elijah let out a soft sigh and gently pulled Marcia behind him. "What are you doing?"Marcia bit her lip, feeling a bit foolish for her reaction. Why did she assume Hayden would actually come to blows with Elijah?Elijah, standing tall and unwavering, met Hayden's gaze head-on, his expression calm. "To bring Myron back to Liverpool.""Back to Liverpool? If he's taking that woman with him, then what's the point? He might as well not come back at all! Damn it!" Hayden raised his fist but ultimately slammed it against the table instead."Hayden, sit down." Myron's voice was deep and hoarse. He seemed exhausted, yet his expression remained resolute. "I chose to marry Nancy on my own. It has nothing to do with my mother or Eli. I appreciate your concern, but enough with the arguments."He glanced at Kevin and chuckled. "What are you scheming now? Think I'm lying?"Kevin cleared his throat awkwardly. "Not at all. If you say so, then it must be true." He had initially suspected this was just

    "Patricia, I thought you two would head straight to the second floor!" Hayden teased with a mischievous grin, taking a sip of his orange juice.Marcia ignored him, her eyes immediately landing on Myron, who sat beside Kevin with a face as dark as ink. At the head of the dining table sat a frail, pale-skinned elderly woman who was scrutinizing her with an assessing gaze.Marcia couldn't help but feel nervous."Auntie, this is Patricia. What do you think? Beautiful, right?" Elijah draped an arm over Marcia's shoulder, grinning proudly.Gloria took a sip of water before smiling lightly. "Hmm, she is beautiful. No wonder you've been so restless, eager to come home!""That's not true! I'm also happy to spend more time with you!" Elijah chuckled, then gently nudged Marcia forward. "Cia, come say hello to Auntie."His eyes were filled with warmth, a look that was second nature to him in front of Myron and the others. But for Gloria, it was the first time witnessing this side of him, and she

    Marcia and Elijah walked hand in hand toward the villa. Since it was located in the suburbs, the fresh air was a rare luxury.A cool breeze brushed against Marcia's face, making her instinctively shrink her neck."Are you cold?" Elijah asked, his voice tinged with concern as he pulled her into his embrace. "I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable if we stayed in the car for too long. Looks like I miscalculated again!"Marcia shook her head and snuggled against his chest with a soft laugh. "Not at all. The air is refreshing, and the scenery is beautiful. But how did you know I was feeling restless in the car? Do you have some kind of mind-reading power? That would be incredible!"Elijah chuckled, gently ruffling her hair. "Your nose is all red. You look just like a little bunny. Makes me want to eat you up!"As he spoke, he playfully rubbed her cheeks. When Marcia looked up at him with a smile, he couldn't resist leaning down to kiss her cool lips."Aren't they waiting for us inside? Le

    Seeing the two of them like this, Marcia couldn't shake the strange feeling growing inside her. She pulled out her phone to check for any messages from Elijah. The last thing on their chat was a simple "Good night" from both of them. A faint smile curved her lips.She casually snapped a photo of the highway scenery outside the car window and sent it to Elijah.Since it was still early, she hadn't expected an immediate response. But to her surprise, he seemed to have been awake all night—his reply came almost instantly."Already on the road? Are you tired? You should get some rest in the car!"Marcia bit her lip lightly and typed back curiously, "Did you not sleep? I'm not tired. I've been resting at home these past few days.""Hmm, I heard about that. Why are you so lazy and always sleeping?" Elijah chuckled, then added, "Even though I feel bad for you, my love, I'm so happy that I'll see you soon."Seeing him call her lazy, Marcia instinctively glanced at Kevin, who was driving. It h

    Ever since that terrible experience, Marcia had developed a subtle aversion to "Calderstones."Elijah had been away for five days now. They spoke on the phone daily—sometimes just exchanging a few words, other times lingering as if they couldn't bear to hang up.The distance seemed to intensify their feelings, making them feel like a couple deeply in love.A call in the early morning. The phone was warm in her hand. Though sadness still lingered in her heart, Marcia felt as if Elijah was slowly healing her, piece by piece.Since her surgery, she had become more sensitive—more reliant on Elijah. She wanted him to return, yet at the same time, she hoped he wouldn't come back too soon. She longed for his embrace but also feared the warmth he brought.Torn between these emotions, her longing for him only grew stronger.Sometimes, as she lay in her empty bed, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he were beside her&md

    "He's just a wolf in sheep's clothing," Hayden remarked leisurely, pouring himself a cup of hot water. Watching the steam rise, he smiled faintly and casually asked, "Patricia, did you already know Myron was fine? Otherwise, how could you be in the mood to come out for a meal?"Marcia was momentarily stunned. After a brief silence, she chuckled. "I contacted Eli. Besides, there wasn't much to eat at home. Everyone's had a tough day—it's only right that we treat ourselves to a meal. Why? Do you think there's something wrong with that?"Hayden smirked. "Not at all. Just a funny coincidence." He blew on his cup, took a small sip, and added, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you hadn't been home at all."Shirley shot him a glare. "Hayden, your mindset is all wrong!""Oh?" Hayden raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.Shirley shook her head dramatically and said with an air of seriousness, "Have you been spending too much time with Demon? You've picked up the nasty habit of

    "Did she ask you anything? Or did she want you to do something?" Marcia sat up straight, her tone cold and sharp.Jeff snapped out of his thoughts and replied calmly, "She was curious if you were pregnant. Oh, that reminds me, was she the one at Calderstones that time...?"Before he could finish, he paused, realization dawning on his face. "No wonder!"Marcia stared at him intently. "What did you tell her? Did you take her money? What about Alan? Was he there too?"Jeff shot her a glare. "I'm a doctor. What do you take me for? She's pregnant, and Alan? Oh, you mean that man? No, I didn't see him."Pregnant? A sharp pain struck Marcia's heart. Kate was pregnant again, while she… she had lost her child.Fate was truly laughable. The heavens remained as unfair as ever.Perhaps sensing her hatred too clearly, Jeff coughed lightly and continued, "Alright, stop glaring at me. I'm on your side."Marcia eyed him suspiciously but said nothing.Jeff sighed. "I refused to be her private doctor,
