Bound By Paper Hearts Lost In The Woods
"Ahh......" Alice woke up with sharp pain all over her body.She fluttered open her eyes, instinctively shielding them from the sharp, piercing sunbeams.She fought to acclimate to the light, forcing her eyes open, only to discover herself sprawled on the mucky earth, encircled by towering trees and untamed underbrush, her body riddled with numerous open wounds and blood seeping out."Ahh, ouch......" Alice let out a low groan as she got to her feet, realizing she was in the midst of the dense woods."Where am I? How did I get here?" Alice mumbled between sobs, and tears rolled down her eyes.Tears fell for a moment, but she swiftly wiped them away. "I must find a way out of this place."Alice looked around in search of her phone but couldn't find it. She felt another wave of disappointment wash over her."No, I will stay motivated."Fisting her hand with determination, Alice mustered her courage, moved ahead, and winced as pain shot through her left knee, a testament to its severe in

Alice unwillingly witnessed the new secret of a member of the Kingston family, which is under wraps from everybody.The scene made her even guiltier for Vicky's accident and Mia's misery."Let's go back." Alice pushed her wheelchair back."What's wrong?" Skylar asked."Skylar, please reach out to my doctor and also arrange a caravan." Alice directed, rapidly propelling her wheelchair back to her room."What? For what, out of the blue?" Skylar asked in astonishment."I want to move away from here; do it promptly." Alice urged, filled with a whirlwind of various thoughts.She pushed the door of her room open, but Skylar halted her.Skylar gripped the handles of the wheelchair and admonished Alice, locking eyes with her. "Are you not thinking straight? Making hasty decisions like this when you should be focusing on resting?"Alice met her gaze, her expression filled with concern. She let out a sigh and confessed, "The adversaries I face are a danger to everyone in Andrew's family. I don'

"Nick, you asshole jerk, I specifically instructed you to handle this discreetly outdoors. How on earth could you be so thoughtless and inept as to lead him to Kingston Mansion?"The woman berated her accomplice. "Enough with the shouting; I'm not to blame here. You're the one who brought him on board. I cautioned him against breaking into the mansion, but he insisted his source was credible." Nick's voice was strained with frustration, fed up with her domineering attitude. Frustration boiled over as they found themselves in another failure, leading to a heated exchange of accusations. "Trustworthy source, my ass. That bastard didn't even avoid the security cameras and boldly caught the light. Just get rid of him." "It's done already, and Jade, don't complicit randomly; it's peril." Hearing her old name on the man's lips triggered a rush of bitter emotions tied to her history. "Don't call me that, you odious parasite. That's not my name anymore; dare do this again, and I will cut

Alice awoke from a lengthy nap with a throbbing head and a scratchy throat, the aftermath of her intense bout of crying, before slipping into sleep.She leveraged her hands for support as she rose to retrieve water from the side table. However, a stumble resulted in the glass slipping from her grasp and crashing onto the floor."Smash......" Skylar was startled by the sound and hurried to Alice."Alice, be careful." She helped her settle comfortably and then poured a glass of water."You're practically skin and bones, and the accident has caused you to lose blood; it's no wonder you're feeling weak. You need to allow yourself time to recuperate. It's been just 24 hours since the accident," Skylar said, gazing at Alice's pale face with dismay."A day has already passed, goodness gracious."Alice's consciousness wavered, making it difficult for her to consult her watch and discern the duration of her hospital stay."Speaking of which, how is Vicky now?" Alice asked."I got to know he w

"I heard Alice went to pay her visit to Vicky, but it seems the information was off," Benjamin said and scoffed playfully.John and Marie exchanged a quiet laugh and looked here and there to avoid the scene.Andrew made Alice comfortable on the bed and whispered in her ear. "I wonder how my family has a knack for playing gooseberry in my romantic life."Alice playfully swatted his arm, a blush coloring her cheeks."Bro, can you not be home in my hospital? At least maintain its sanity." Benjamin said it with a grumpy face."Being one of the directors of the board, I'm using my fair share of the hospital; do you have any problems?" Andrew raised his eyebrows after a befitting reply."You can't abuse your power."Benjamin and Andrew were going to get involved in a meaningless argument, but Marie meddled and scolded them. "Oh, please, cut it off both of you.""Alice, how's your well-being? Are you receiving adequate care?" John asked and patted her head."Gradually getting better..."John'

"I trusted her completely. How could she hurt me like this?"At present, with Mia's revelation about Skylar and Benjamin, Alice fumed, hobbling around the room in frustration."That little troublemaker thinks she can keep things from me? She's in for a rude awakening."In a fit of rage, Alice rambled on before snatching her phone and punching in Skylar's number."Where the hell did this brat go? Why didn't she answer her call?"Her words spilled out in a torrent as she tried to get through to Skylar, but all her calls went unanswered."Today, she is going to be dead by my hands." Alice mumbled and called her again."Alice, why are you calling so frantically?" Skylar's voice came on the line."Where are you, and why were you not answering my call, you hellion?" Alice rebuked angrily.'What's gotten into her? She rarely loses it. Has she had a fight with Mr. Kingston? Nah, she doesn't vent her anger on innocents. Did I annoy her?'"Alice, chill, I was driving to take your call. I got ou

"Feel free to do as you please; I won't be partaking in this flavorless fare today," Alice declared firmly before turning away.Andrew delivered Alice's lunch, only for her to grimace at the sight of the egg porridge once again.Ignoring her refusal, he ladled a portion of porridge into a bowl and extended a spoonful toward her."I told you, I'm..."Alice was in the midst of speaking when Andrew abruptly stuffed a spoonful of porridge in her mouth."Ahh, ouch. Sunny....." Alice gulped the saliva and yelled."Have it, silently." Andrew said it with a stern look.Alice positioned herself with crossed arms and averted her gaze."Do you believe your tantrums will work on me?" Andrew remarked, delivering another spoonful to her mouth."I doubt that." Alice mumbled and ate it grumpily."You need to rest and recuperate, but you seemed to wander around the entire floor. From now on, you'll not even step out of bed." Andrew reprimanded her."What the heck..." Alice's incredulous words were dro

Benjamin punched in Skylar's number, only to be met with a vexed voice on the other end."Now what?" "Let's breakup." Benjamin said it much more rudely than her."What?" Skylar was taken aback.Even though she'd been insisting on a breakup for days, she knew he'd never willingly let her go. When he finally conceded to separate, she felt like the ground had been yanked from beneath her."What's the matter? Are you shaken?" Benjamin asked, stationed in the second-floor corridor, and shot Skylar a concerned look at the first-floor lobby."Of course not. Why would I be shaken? I've been wanting this for a long time. It's clear now that parting ways is the best choice for both of us," Skylar said, her eyes welling up with tears.'Wow, what an adorably awful liar,' Benjamin mused, casting a smirk her way as he casually slipped his left hand into his pocket.Every action of hers was under his keen observation and enjoyment. The moment he brought up the breakup, her brisk steps suddenly halt

Listening to lawyer Jones's argument, Alice and Vicky held their heads. They were at a dead end when a sudden voice made them jump in surprise."Pardon the interruption, but I have evidence that exposes Mason Rex not only as a bad father but as a genuinely awful person," Andrew declared with a sense of outrage upon entering the courtroom.Alice and Vicky exchanged surprised glances before turning their attention to Andrew, whose expression was stern and his eyes blazed a fierce red. Even Mason and Jones were visibly shaken, captivated by the intensity emanating from his fiery gaze.The judge glared at him and massaged his temples. "What's going on here? Mr. Kingston, maintain order in the court or face removal. Defense counsel, enlighten us on this new development." His irritation heightened with the persistent interruptions.Vicky was completely in the dark about what Andrew was talking about, rendering him dumbfounded. He looked at Andrew and the judge with a zipped mouth, like a de
Bound By Paper Hearts Final Showdown
"I may not have singled out your name, but to the plaintiff's lawyer, your statement carried significant weight."Vicky's remark triggered laughter in the courtroom, leaving Jones feeling offended."Excuse me, we don't need to play a cheap trick when truth is our ally. Mr. Rex is Emma's biological father, and a parent needs no justification to reclaim their daughter.""Your honor, I earnestly implore the court to weigh Mr. Rex's blood relation to the child and render a decision in his favor. Allow an anguished father to reunite with his daughter."Jones, at this moment, had no recourse but to go to court, relying on Mason's biological fatherhood as the sole influential factor in tilting the case in their favor.Vicky sighed and shook his head, accustomed to Jones's theatrical displays and feigned emotions aimed at swaying the court."What if there's a legitimate reason?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow."What?""What if I propose that even a father like Mason may have a rationale fo

In the courtroom, Paul Rex brought to light a new revelation, a piece of knowledge shared among Alice, Andrew, and Vicky. Yet, their challenge lay in the absence of concrete proof to back up the information they possessed."Point duly noted, Your Honor. Mr. Mason Rex professed a profound love for his ex-wife and conveyed regret for the child. However, this revelation unveils a contradiction—indicating he was never genuinely inclined towards marriage or assuming responsibility for the child but was compelled to do so."Vicky's words stirred a reaction from Mason, who hastily stood up to defend himself. In response, Jones gestured for him to exercise caution and avoid actions that could prove unfavorable in the proceedings."What unfolded next, Mr. Rex?" Vicky shifted his focus back to Paul, encouraging him to pick up where he left off."I deeply regret coercing this troublemaker and hoping he would reform for the well-being of his wife and child. Sadly, my choice subjected the poor wom

Vicky vented his simmering rage over Mason's intricate web of lies about his relationship, a revelation that outpaced even the awareness of his legal representative."Your Honor, the accused asserts a lack of recollection regarding the breakup with Miss Cooper. Nonetheless, the truth emerges: he terminated the relationship upon her refusal to endorse his company as a brand ambassador. This is what he is not in a position to accept. Subsequent revelations exposed his infidelity during the course of their relationship.""Miss Cooper, left with no recourse, exposed his misconduct, resulting in the loss of his company. In retaliation, he targeted Miss Monica after their marriage, subjecting her to a tumultuous and distressing life."Vicky's statement was left incomplete as Jones abruptly rose and began applauding. Departing from his usual objections, he introduced a surprising and unconventional method of interruption that caught everyone off guard."Lawyer Jones, can you please put words
Bound By Paper Hearts Courtroom Chess
"Your honor, before we commence today's proceedings, Miss Cooper would like to make a request to the court," Vicky stated after bowing to the judge.Mason and his lawyer exchanged glances, and Jones threw them a look that said they were pulling the same stunt, but he made it clear it's not going to fly in court—different day, same old song.The judge gave a nod of approval, granting permission for the request.Alice sauntered up, taking her spot in front of the judge after shooting a quick nod. Feeling the weight of onlookers' stares, she nervously licked her lips, sensing the heat in the room.The seasoned stage and on-camera pro, unafraid in the limelight, is now grappling with stage fright for the first time. However, driven by her love for her daughter, she pushes through.Alice let out a deep breath, mustered her courage, and started speaking. "Your honor, during the previous session, Attorney Jones claimed I'm unfit as a mother for Emma, and even...""Your honor, objection. What

Alice and Andrew stepped out of the elevator onto the 52nd floor of the Royman Hotel that evening, ready to meet Mason. Thanks to Vicky's setup, the ball was in Mason's court."Sunny, any hunch on why Mason opted for our hotel meet-up instead of his office digs?" Alice queried as they strolled in."The thief thinks everybody steals. I reckon Mason Rex's a bit wary, fearing we might have some tricks up our sleeves for this meeting. So, he's strategically set it in our territory to clear his name if anything fishy happens," Andrew mused with a touch of suspicion.He read Mason's cunning mind like an open book."Hmm, you are right.""Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kingston."Mason awaited them in Andrew's exclusive waiting lounge; spotting their entry, he rose, extending his hand for a shake. Andrew, a bit iffy, eventually gave it the nod."So spill it, Alice, what's the rush for this impromptu meeting? Worried that the verdict tomorrow will swing my way and your little angel, oops, I mean my darli

"Your honor, it's crucial to acknowledge that Miss Cooper opted to prioritize her public image over the well-being of the infant.""That's wrong......" Alice attempted to protest, but Jones kept firing questions with a booming voice. "Why'd you stroll out with the baby solo without giving a heads-up to your folks or security?""I went with Emma to the restroom, but she bolted unexpectedly while I was washing my hands. Despite my quick commands, being small and flickering, the little baby wouldn't listen, so I had to dash after her urgently, without alerting anyone to the sudden twist of events." Alice spilled the beans without holding back."Your honor, it's worth emphasizing that the defendant isn't just self-centered but also an inattentive mother, incapable of looking after a one-year-old child," Jones remarked, a broader smirk evident on his face.Once again, he slyly targeted Alice, preventing her from defending herself. "Miss Cooper, in the interview, did you really discuss a o

Alice and Andrew were stunned to see the director of Sunshine Orphanage appear as Mason's witness."Your honor, I'd like to point out that this woman is Mrs. Green, the director of Sunshine Orphanage—the entity the defendant manipulated to falsely assert her adoption of baby Emma. Yet, Director Green's statement provides a stark contrast," Mr. Jones explained.The judge peered over his glasses at the individuals before him and declared,

"I'm the poor man whose daughter you've absconded with, masquerading your adoption as a virtuous act. You're the very definition of an opportunist," Mason hissed, an insidious smirk creeping across his face."Your words hold no weight. She's my child, and you're nothing but a loathsome fraud and betrayer. I'll ensure the truth prevails in court."Alice couldn't contain herself when he claimed Emma as his own, but when she tried to object, Mason's unscrupulous grin remained unshaken.
