2024-12-29 14:45:00The next day, Phoebe arrived at the agreed location on time, following Gavin's instructions from the day before. She had assumed they would head straight to the evening banquet, but what greeted her instead was a high-end fashion studio.
"Why are we here?" Phoebe asked suspiciously, standing at the entrance without any intention of stepping inside.
Her eyes stayed fixed on Gavin, trying to discern his intentions from his expression.
"As my companion for the evening, you'll need to be appropriately dressed," Gavin replied with an air of calm confidence. After a brief pause, a faint smile tugged at his lips.
"Phoebe, do you think showing up in your current attire would be appropriate for such a formal occasion?" His gaze swept over her outfit, making his point clear.
Phoebe instinctively glanced down at her casual student clothes, then turned to her reflection in the glass panel on the wall.
She couldn't deny that her outfit was utterly unsuit

There was an inherent wicked charm and untamed energy about Gavin.As he approached step by step, Phoebe's heart inexplicably began to race.Feeling flustered, she lowered her head.She couldn't deny the man before her possessed an extraordinary allure, both in looks and demeanor. His every move exuded an irresistible charisma.Yet, Phoebe's heart was already filled with someone else, leaving no room for anyone else."Let's go,"Gavin said, his arm slightly bent in an elegant gesture, inviting Phoebe to take it.Phoebe frowned slightly, her heart filled with hesitation and conflict.After a brief pause, she gingerly extended her delicate arm and looped it through his. Wearing these high heels felt like walking on clouds—unsteady and precarious.Clinging to his arm seemed the most practical choice.Still, Phoebe couldn't help but wonder if he had done this on purpose.He knew she rarely wore heels

As night fell, a grand and luxurious banquet unfolded within a palatial villa. The interior was brilliantly lit, filled with the mingling of elegant figures and murmurs of distinguished guests from all walks of life.A sleek black car glided smoothly through the gates of the villa, coming to a halt under the respectful gaze of the waiting servants.The car door opened, revealing Gavin's tall and commanding figure. His steps were steady as he exited the vehicle and circled around to the other side, where he gracefully opened the door for Phoebe with a gentlemanly gesture.Phoebe stepped out lightly, her movements poised and graceful. She naturally linked her arm with Gavin's, but beneath her composed demeanor, her heart raced uncontrollably. A subtle wave of nervousness spread through her body, impossible to suppress.Her eyes darted anxiously through the crowd, searching for the tall figure that haunted her thoughts.

Alexander entered the grand banquet hall with his date in tow, commanding attention like a storm disturbing a calm lake. In an instant, the event's serene atmosphere was shattered, and a wave of whispers and speculation rippled through the crowd. His presence, as a figure of such significance, was akin to dropping a bombshell amidst the gathering of elites and dignitaries—impossible to ignore."Mr. Davis, welcome! We are honored by your presence," greeted a slightly overweight middle-aged man who rushed forward, his face plastered with an ingratiating smile. Bowing and scraping, he resembled a sycophantic lapdog, eager to curry favor with the powerful Alexander. Not long after, several others followed suit, surrounding Alexander in a small circle of flattery and eager conversation.Alexander's expression remained indifferent, his features as unreadable as the surface of a tranquil lake. He responded with a curt "Hmm," giving no clue to his inner thoughts or emotions."Is this your new

"Alex, what are you looking at so intently?" Samantha's voice was sweet and coquettish, her eyes shimmering as she playfully asked the question.Her tone carried the intimacy of lovers oblivious to their surroundings.A fleeting, complex emotion crossed Alexander's deep eyes—like a shooting star in the night sky, gone in an instant. His thin lips pressed into a stern line, ignoring Samantha's question entirely. He continued to gaze silently in one direction, his expression inscrutable.The faint smile on Phoebe's lips froze, transforming into something stiff and bitter. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.Every inch of her body felt the cold seeping in, numbing her.Why was he acting this way? Had he not seen her? Why did his gaze treat her like a stranger—so indifferent, as though they had never shared a connection?It was as if everything between them had been a fleeting dream, now completely erased.Was it because of her impulsive

Samantha's lips curled downward slightly, her eyes brimming with disdain and contempt. She cast a sidelong glance at Phoebe, sprawled on the floor, and let out a derisive snort."Look at you," she sneered. "Absolutely shameless. Exposing yourself like this and not even trying to cover up. Do you even know what dignity means? All this just to grab attention and fame—how utterly despicable. You'd stoop to any low, even desecrating an occasion as solemn as this with your vulgar antics. Absolutely disgraceful."Her gaze flicked momentarily to Alexander standing nearby.Noticing that his eyes, like those of the other men in the room, were locked on Phoebe, a pang of jealousy surged through her.In a coquettish tone, she said, "Alex, you wouldn't be interested in a woman this desperate, would you?"Samantha hadn't even noticed Phoebe until the sound of her fall drew her attention.But the moment her eyes landed on Phoebe's breathtakingly beautiful face, a spark of envy ignited within her, s

The departure of the two caused a stir at the banquet.People whispered among themselves, but the minor episode didn't seem to dampen the festive atmosphere. Laughter and chatter resumed as if nothing had happened.Alexander squinted slightly, his icy gaze fixed on the backs of the departing figures. His handsome face was frosted with cold fury.Damn that woman. She would rather expose herself than look back at him even once. She must be waiting for Gavin.So, this was why she was so desperate to leave him—she wanted to throw herself into Gavin's arms.Damn it. She's already in Gavin's arms so quickly.How long has she been with him? Was it mere moments after he let her go that she ran straight to Gavin?Alexander's fists clenched tightly, his steps heavy as he stormed out, a chilling aura surrounding him."Alex, where are you going?"Samantha called after him anxiously when she saw him leave.

Gavin's face was filled with worry as he gently pressed on her ankle. There didn't seem to be anything abnormal—it looked like a dislocation. "I'll take you to the hospital."The car sped off into the night and soon arrived at the hospital.When the doctor realigned Phoebe's ankle, the excruciating pain overwhelmed her, and she burst into tears. Gavin wrapped her in his arms and, to prevent her from biting herself, put his arm into her mouth.Her scream pierced the air before she collapsed weakly against Gavin's chest. Beads of sweat covered her forehead, and her face turned alarmingly pale.Though her ankle was still swollen, Phoebe could now feel it fully. She forced a bitter smile, realizing just how agonizing bone pain could be.It felt as if she had died and come back to life.After prescribing medication for her injury, the doctor gave them a few instructions and left.Gavin went to fetch the medicine and returned shortly

LauraSince that night, an entire week had passed, and Laura had locked herself in her small room like a little snail, refusing to take a single step outside.The servants, worried about her prolonged isolation, began to grow uneasy. She hadn't left her room for days, skipping school and shutting everyone out. Afraid something might happen to her, one servant hesitated before deciding to report the situation to Gavin.Bringing food into her room, the servant glanced at Laura lying motionless on her bed. After much deliberation, she concluded it was best to inform Gavin. If anything were to happen to Laura, she couldn't bear the consequences of his wrath.Although Laura wasn't a true mistress of the house—her presence was almost insignificant—Gavin rarely paid her any attention. He never mentioned her, nor seemed to care about her at all.The thought filled the servant with a pang of sympathy. Laura was still so young; experiencing something like this was undoubtedly hard for her to pr

Chased By Billionaire After One Night A Shadow at the Door
Phoebe lay still, listening to the fading sound of footsteps outside her door. It felt like someone had ripped open her chest. He actually left just like that?Tears soaked half her pillow. She stared into the darkness until dawn. In the mirror, her face was pale, with dark shadows under her eyes. Just as her fingers brushed the doorknob, she felt it—his presence on the other side.Alexander was still wearing yesterday's wrinkled dress shirt. His bloodshot eyes said everything: he hadn't slept a minute. He'd been sitting outside her door all night."Phoebe..." His voice was barely more than a rasp.She recoiled as if burned, brushing past him with her head down—but he grabbed her wrist. His palm was so warm it made her tremble."Let go," she said, her voice like ice.Instead, he pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her head. "What will it take for you to forgive me?"Phoebe fought to break free, her nails leaving red streaks on his arm. "Don't pretend," she choked out, tears

After hanging up, Phoebe immediately turned off her phone. She sniffled, her nose sore from holding back tears. As she looked at her two sleepy children nestled in her arms, her eyes turned red again. Biting her lower lip, she forced down the wave of emotions and held them a little tighter."We're going home." Her voice was hoarse.Jeremy and Amy lifted their heads sleepily and shook them in unison."Mommy, aren't we waiting for Uncle?""No." Phoebe avoided their hopeful eyes.The children's shoulders slumped as they looked down."But Uncle promised to take us out for ice cream..." Jeremy mumbled.A cold wind swept across the empty office building entrance. Phoebe looked at their disappointed little faces, her chest tightening."What do you want to eat? Mommy will make it when we get home.""I'm not hungry," Amy said, burying her face in Phoebe's neck."Me neither," Jeremy echoed, though he kept glancing around. "Maybe Uncle's on his way. Can we wait just five more minutes?"Phoebe's

The office clock struck five. For the third time, Phoebe glanced down the empty hallway.She clutched her phone, scrolling through her contacts again and again. Five missed calls, no one in the office, and his phone still lying quietly in the drawer—where on earth had he gone?Her reflection in the glass window revealed a furrowed brow. They had clearly agreed to leave at four. Even if something urgent came up, he should've at least found a way to let her know.When the six o'clock dismissal bell rang, Phoebe finally grabbed her bag. In the rearview mirror, the neon sign of the kindergarten glowed vividly against the twilight.The car phone suddenly rang. The unfamiliar number made her hand tremble slightly."Phoebe."That familiar voice made her heart settle—only to twist a moment later. "You're at the hospital? Are you hurt?""It's Hermosa. Acute appendicitis,"he said, hospital announcements echoing faintly in the

The morning passed in a slow, steady rhythm, the hours slipping by almost unnoticed.By the time Phoebe returned to the office after lunch, the clock on the wall pointed to half past two.Alexander's lingering kiss still burned on her lips, leaving her ears warm and flushed. She instinctively smoothed her slightly tousled hair, and when her fingers brushed against her heated earlobe, a soft smile tugged at her lips.In the break room, the moment the hot water hit the tea leaves, a delicate fragrance wafted through the air.Phoebe cupped the warm mug in her hands, and through the rising steam, she could almost see him again—his fingers laced tightly with hers, confidently leading her through the office in full view of everyone.He never hid their relationship. That unabashed affection of his… it made even her tea taste sweet.When only a few unfurled leaves remained at the bottom of her cup, Phoebe rubbed her slightly sore eyes.

The next morning."Mom, are we going to Grandma and Grandpa's tonight?" Amy clung to the edge of the table, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Phoebe nearly dropped the plate in her hand. "Hmm?" She was sure she hadn't said anything about that to the kids."Uncle said so," Amy replied confidently, swinging her legs under the chair.Phoebe glanced out the window at the man polishing the car in the driveway. Her fingers tightened unconsciously around the plate. She'd thought he was just talking offhandedly—but he actually meant it? A wave of warmth rose in her chest, only to be washed over by a ripple of unease. Would her parents even be friendly to him? Her mother hadn't said much during their last phone call, but the sigh she'd heard through the receiver still echoed in her ears."Mom?" Amy tugged at her sleeve.Phoebe crouched down and gently smoothed her daughter's crooked collar. "Of course we're going.""Yay!" Jeremy jumped up from his chair with a loud clatter of utensils. "I ha

Alexander's deep voice rumbled against her ear, and Phoebe could no longer hold back the tears welling in her eyes. Warm drops slid down her cheeks as she stood on tiptoe and clung tightly to his neck, burying her tear-streaked face into the crook of his shoulder. Her slender shoulders trembled uncontrollably.Those three words were far too heavy—so heavy, they made her chest ache.He immediately wrapped his arms around her, gently stroking her back with the flat of his palm. Suddenly, Phoebe clenched her fists and began pounding his chest, each hit harder than the last."You bastard..." she sobbed into his shoulder. "You've made me cry so many times..."Yet even so, hearing his confession now, all those scars seemed to vanish into insignificance. Love was ridiculous like that—no matter how deeply wounded, the heart still surrendered without hesitation."Say it again," she whispered, lifting her tear-soaked face, her nose bright red.Alexander chuckled lowly and brushed her damp cheek

"Mom, you don't have a boyfriend, and Uncle is such a good guy. Can't he be your boyfriend? Can't he be our dad?""Yeah, Mom, just think about it!"Phoebe kept her expression neutral. This wasn't something that could be decided so easily.She wasn't about to let him off that easily. Especially after what Hermosa said earlier… What exactly did she mean by those words? And that look of surprise on her face—what was that about?Every time she thought about it, a heavy pressure settled on her chest. It felt like they were hiding something from her.She told herself not to overthink it. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the wild guesses running through her mind.Maybe... maybe it was time to ask.And he owed her a real explanation."Mom?"Her thoughts snapped back to the present. The kids were looking up at her with hopeful eyes. They really cared about her love life, it seemed. And clearly, they liked Alexander a lot.Of course she knew what they were trying to do. But a

Phoebe's fingertips trembled slightly as she stared blankly at Hermosa's pale face. That name always pricked at her memory like a needle—Melissa's curly hair, the unopened photo frame in Alexander's study—all flashing before her eyes now."What a coincidence. Running into you here," Hermosa said, her face still drained of color.Phoebe forced a smile. "Yeah, what a... coincidence."She quickly added, "What are you doing here?""My stomach was acting up, so I came to get something for it. You?""Oh, me? I..." Phoebe's throat tightened. Instinctively, she crushed the box of birth control pills hidden behind her back. She only realized where Hermosa's gaze had landed when it was too late. Embarrassed, she moved her hand behind her again. "I was just buying... medicine."As Hermosa turned to leave, the hem of her trench coat brushed past Phoebe's wrist, sending a chill straight to her bones. Hermosa suddenly paused. Under the harsh fluorescent lights, her profile looked almost transparent

When Alexander stepped into the bathroom, he found Phoebe resting peacefully in the bathtub, eyes closed. A soft flush still lingered on her cheeks, a trace of pleasure not yet fully faded. Her face looked like a ripe peach, pink and dewy, waiting to be picked.He walked over quietly. She must have heard him—her thick lashes fluttered as if she wanted to open her eyes. But she was too exhausted, not even a finger moved.Alexander chuckled softly, gazing at her delicate face. He'd really worn her out today.He reached down and gently stroked her silky cheek. He'd intended to call her for dinner, but looking at her now, sleep seemed more fitting.Scooping her out of the water, her smooth skin against him made his body stir again—but he held himself back.He dried her carefully, then laid her on the bed. The marks he'd left on her body filled him with a certain pride, but as he inspected the swollen red tenderness between her thighs, a pang of guilt twisted in his chest. He'd been a litt
