"We spin this bottle, and the mouth of the bottle points to whoever is challenged. How about it? Truth or dare!!!" Emma challenged, pointing at the edge of an empty bottle of beer that she had just finished.Her four friends looked at each other, then Emma winked at Keyara, asking for her permission. Today was Keyara's day. She was celebrating her first acceptance into her dream company, Gametopya Inc., a game design company that was currently popular for its latest game, Triangle Love.Keyara had applied for the job for a long time and had even been rejected twice before. However, she never gave up and remained determined to be accepted into the gaming company. Her hard work and perseverance paid off, and on her third interview, she finally landed the job she wanted.Therefore, to celebrate Keyara's success in being accepted into her dream company, her close friends from high school went to a club on Thursday night, which was also Ladies' Night. They intended to celebrate.The five f
Keyara blinked her eyes, she didn't expect the stranger she kissed to kiss her back. And to make matters worse, the guy was an expert kisser!"Can you even call a kiss like that 'expert'?" she thought. This type of guy should be categorized as a playboy. If he can kiss like that, he must have a lot of experience.They kissed for a whole minute, and Keyara's breath was almost gone from the non-stop kissing. The stranger held onto Keyara's waist tightly, as if to trap her so she wouldn't escape.When the stranger tried to continue with a second round of kissing, Keyara pushed him away."Is he crazy?" she thought.The stranger looked at Keyara and smiled, "Shall we continue?" he teased.Keyara glared at him. She wanted to scold him, but then she remembered that she was the one who initiated the kiss. So, she turned around and ran towards her table.The stranger still looked at her in surprise.Keyara whispered to her four friends, "Let's go from here, I'm afraid he'll chase us down again
Kira then picked up the phone handle and pressed a button that connected her to the boss. After a short while, Kira said to Tony, "Just go in. Mr. Grey is waiting." Tony nodded and knocked twice on the boss's office door. It was a rule in that place. The number of knocks indicated the purpose. If the knock was twice, it meant that it was related to an employee. If the knock was done three times, it was related to work. After knocking, Tony turned the doorknob and opened the door. When the door opened, a man was seen bowing in front of the desk, signing some papers. Tony approached, as did Keyara. "Sir, I want to introduce the new staff in the Character Design division." The man who was bowing raised his face, and at that moment, Keyara's eyes widened, even without her realizing it, her mouth opened. Although it was dark at that time, Keyara would not easily forget the man whom she had either kissed or been kissed by at the Nightclub. Now, amid a room with clearer lighting, Keyara
Keyara pushed Grey's body away from her. Her face turned even redder as she wiped her lips with her arm, so hard that she felt a burning sensation on them."Sir!" Keyara exclaimed in panic, her eyes widened in anger, and she gritted her teeth to hold back the emotions that were about to explode from within her."As I said before if you answer incorrectly, the punishment is a kiss. How about it, isn't this similar to your game?" Grey said without any remorse."You can't do that, it's harassment!" Keyara answered fiercely."Oh, harassment? So what you did to me back then should also be considered harassment. Suddenly patting someone's shoulder and kissing them like that. Do you think that's not harassment? Don't think that only women can call it harassment, men can too!" Grey spoke harshly, and his words made Keyara silent."Listen, you started this game, so I will continue it. As long as you work here, you cannot avoid this game. I will ask and you will answer. If your answer deviates
When all of his subordinates went for lunch, Grey, who was looking at his laptop screen, suddenly smiled to himself. The man then touched his lips and felt the sensation of a kiss.He looked at his laptop screen. It was time for lunch. He seemed to be ready to leave soon. However, his phone suddenly vibrated. Grey frowned. He reached for his phone and saw the name displayed on the screen. The smile on his face disappeared."Hello?" he answered."Grey, I'm glad you picked up my call. Guess where I am?" the voice on the phone sounded cheerful. But Grey's face didn't show any feelings like that."What do you want? Why did you call?" Grey asked coldly."Oh, are you still angry? Why do you answer me like that? Listen, I'm in front of your office building now. Let's have lunch together. How about it?" Hela's voice sounded cheerful. She seemed to ignore Grey's cold response."I already have plans," Grey refused."Oh, come on. I know you're lying. Let's have lunch together as we used to," the
Hela looked at her cute watch wrapped around her wrist. Several times she glanced towards the office door, hoping Grey would come out soon. She had prepared dozens of sweet words to persuade Grey to come back to her. Grey would come back, ah no, he must come back to her.Their relationship had been going on for a long time, and Hela felt attached to Grey. The only two men who could tolerate all her ego were her brother and Grey.Hela had liked Grey since she first met him. Her brother Ares introduced Grey to her. Grey and Ares were friends during their college years. They were both brilliant and handsome on campus.Then, Hela saw Grey coming out of the office door. The security guard was polite to Grey. Hela felt happy, her waiting was not in vain, and she was sure they would reconcile as before.As Grey walked past the office towards Hela, Keyara and her colleagues passed by and crossed paths with Grey.Grey was momentarily shocked, as was Keyara."Hello, sir," Tony greeted his boss
"Honk!! Honk!!" The horn echoed loudly. Just in time, Grey slammed the steering wheel back in the opposite direction. However, some cars had to hit their brakes hard and yelled. "Do you want to die!! Idiot!" yelled one driver angrily. Grey gasped. Only for a split second, if his reflexes weren't good, he and Hela would have been in an accident. Grey, who had already stopped his car on the side of the road, now glared at Hela. "What are you doing? You want us both to die!" Grey shouted. This time the man was impatient. Hela looked at Grey, not seeming afraid in her eyes, now her eyes were angry at him, "Let's just die! We both should die than for you to decide for me!" Grey was furious, his teeth clenched in frustration. He wanted to slap Hela to make her realize, but all Grey did was take a deep breath until he said, "Singh," and now his eyes were on the girl next to him. "Get out of here!" Grey said, who had been holding back his anger that had reached the top of his head. "I
Keyara felt like breaking through the lift wall and escaping. The tenth floor still felt far away. Keyara bit her lip to ease her anxiety.Keyara glanced to the side. Although she tried to keep her distance to the end of the lift, her eyes unconsciously looked towards Grey's stained clothes. There was a scent of coffee in the lift."What's that coffee stain?"Grey looked at Keyara and said, "It's a coffee stain."Keyara was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Grey to respond to her thoughts as if he could read her mind."Oh..." Keyara answered briefly, understandingly.Silence fell.Grey then looked at Keyara. Suddenly a mischievous idea crossed his mind. Grey took out his phone from his jacket pocket and made a call, "Hello, can you turn off the CCTV for the lift? Okay, thank you." Grey hung up and walked towards Keyara. Feeling nervous, Keyara stepped back until her body was pressed against the lift wall."What do you want, sir?" Keyara asked anxiously. Her hands, which were full
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
