"So, are you telling Xiellenna? Those things that you've heard and seen?" Rylie's voice pierced my ears. Her tone was so arrogant that it made me want to run over and yank her hair off her head.
She's infuriating me, but honestly, I have no idea what's going on.
Because everything around me is darkness. As I opened my eyes while listening to the strange noise around me that I couldn’t explain, all I could see was endless darkness.
It was so cold and eerie.
It was also so quiet, yet every now and then, I would hear a sound spreading around me. The noise echoed and lingered until it faded into the distance, only to be followed by another unknown sound. It repeated over and over again.
At first, it was like the drip of water, then the sound of someone being slapped, followed by something breaking, and then something hard falling. The mi

Exelle...When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure of a man sitting in front of me. But upon recognizing who it was, I frowned and shot him a hateful glare."You f*ckin' bastard!" I yelled at him, but he didn't respond.I tried moving my body, only to discover that my wrists were tied behind me. As I struggled, the metal shackles on my ankles and wrists clanged noisily against the cold cement floor.I groaned as pain shot through my wrists from the struggle. It infuriated me so much that I didn't even think about the danger I was in because my anger at seeing his face took over. I anxiously looked around, realizing we were in a room with no windows, just a door, and a large mirror on one wall.It was the kind of room you often see in dramas and movies. The one that looks like an interrogation room."Don't waste your time struggling. You won't escape from

THIRD PERSON'S POV...The red dot on Techno's monitor flickered. Dark watched it with a furrowed brow as he continued giving orders to his team. But his heart skipped a beat when the red dot, which represented Exelle's location, suddenly started to move."What's happening?" Dark dashed over to Techno's station and asked him, who continued typing rapidly on his keyboard."The PH-HQ must have figured out what's going on," Techno replied, and as if on cue, a radio connected to the other team crackled to life.There was a long silence before a muffled voice came through the radio. It was Bern, Bernardino Morales, the leader of the NCI Philippine HQ team."This is Alpha B of PH-HQ, reporting. The target is on the move. We can only watch from the sidelines until your men arrive because they outnumber our team," Bern reported from the other end. He pa

ExelleI huffed for a moment before glaring at the two bastards standing side by side at the doorway.I didn’t struggle to escape, but my mind was awake enough to function and think of the things I needed to do.Although it’s no use doing it now, I calmed myself and let them do whatever they wanted. I felt tired, but honestly, I was just waiting for the right timing, a chance where I could fight them more freely and escape from their grasp. I don’t believe that there’s no escape in the middle of the sea, unless the chances of surviving are too slim to be possible.‘I still have Dark.’‘Yes. I still have him.’‘And I trust him.’I kept reminding myself that this would all be over soon. That’s actually the purpose of those words. It&rsq

ExelleI looked at my hands, which were tied with nylon rope, before glancing at Alexis, who was silently standing in front of me. I saw how he clenched his hands into fists.At the same time, he turned to look at Rylie, who still remained unconscious."Take her to the gallery," Alexis said, and the newcomer immediately followed the order.I didn’t say anything and just relaxed my body, while still pointing the gun in their direction, ignoring the fact that Rylie was being carried out of the place. I secretly glanced behind me to check the area, and I was relieved to see another door leading out of the hallway.My eyes then shifted to the round window in the door, which was just to my left. The window, made of clear glass, made it easier for me to see the transparent glass window in the rectangular frame inside the room, which offered a clear view
EX Wife (ENGLISH) Prologue
Exelle/XiellennaMy skin, once radiant, now bears the haunting marks of my suffering—bruises marring its pale surface. I stand before the mirror, a sorrowful weight pressing upon my heart. As I gaze at my reflection, the red and swollen eyes that stare back at me mirror the anguish within. My lips, wounded and adorned with dried blood in the corners, remain tightly pursed, withholding the words that long to be spoken.Regret weighs heavily upon me as I trace the bruises with trembling fingers, each touch met with a sharp sting that resonates through my battered body. I cannot deny the truth any longer. I should have known better, anticipated the worsening of my situation. What began as being a mere punching bag for my husband, Hans, has escalated to a perilous point where my life hangs in the balance. And yet, even as he inflicts pain upon me, my body finds ways to numb itself, a self-preservation mechanism that shields me from the full extent of my suffering.To Hans, I am nothing mo

Exelle"Hey, it's not that difficult to say, 'thank you, my dear friend.' Can't you see how grateful you should be to have me here, helping you out?" I playfully teased Samara, who was on the other end of the phone call, requesting that I design a dress for her.I carefully added the final touch to her dress, drawing a large ribbon at the waistline, just as she had described. "Hey, Sam. My business revolves around constructing infrastructures and such, not designing dresses. Seriously? Asking me to create a dress for you? Oh well, here you go. I'll email you the pictures later since I'll be occupied with a board meeting," I spoke to her as if we were face-to-face. I could almost picture her smiling mischievously and letting out an eerie giggle.I often wondered how I ended up with a friend like her. She seemed eccentric and wild when she was around her family and me, but she appeared composed and proper in front of others. At times like this, I couldn't help but wonder if she was just
EX Wife (ENGLISH) ONE - Part 2
In the past three months, we successfully opened a new branch of EXiellene Royale on Jeju Island, South Korea, which has received a highly positive response from the people. Our top priority has always been to satisfy the needs and provide exceptional service to the tourists, customers, and visitors of EXiellene Royale. And we have accomplished just that by taking the risk of expanding from America to Asia. Standing before the others, I presented a graph showcasing the continuous increase in ratings of EX Royale in Jeju over the last three months. Their smiles widened as they witnessed the positive results of the risk we took the previous year."Congratulations, everyone! I've always believed that taking risks is not a bad thing at all. Therefore, our next plan is to build a new hotel and resort in the Philippines."They eagerly opened the folders that Audrey had distributed to them. "As you can see, and as we all know, the Philippines is renowned for its attractions that attract bot

Exelle"Hey," Jules greeted me with a warm smile as soon as her eyes met mine upon entering the grand entrance of the hall. Jules has been my friend since our high school days, and her creative talent as an interior designer always left me in awe.We shared a history, just like Sam, and she knew about the profound struggles I had faced in the past. Time seemed to have stood still for Jules; he still possessed that porcelain rosy skin and a perfectly slim physique, resembling a true deity. It was undeniable that he had inherited his mother's striking features, Aunt Juliean."Aunt Juliean! Oh my God, auntie. I missed you," I exclaimed playfully, embracing her tightly. She responded with a playful scowl, pinching my arm gently, causing me to retreat a step while laughter escaped my lips."What? Are you happy? Are you truly that happy, huh?" she teased, pinching me again. "I may resemble Mama, but I am even more beautiful. Care to laugh some more?""You're utterly crazy," I chuckled, play
