Steven and I fell in love repeatedly until I had to beg for him to stop. He is like a wild animal that has been starved for a long time, and when food is in front of him, he can't control it and eats it wildly. Of the two of us, only I lost all my strength.After two days in a lavish mansion in the suburbs, Steven took me back to New York City. He informed me that, on the night of the party, Sunwell Corporation selected the three best restaurants to sign a contract with, including where I worked. Although I am pleased about this, I feel uncomfortable. I hesitated to ask:"Steven…if I wasn't related to Skyline, would you choose?"He looked at me and then laughed and said calmly: "Do you think I chose Skyline because of you? From the beginning, I gave conditions based on the criteria and evaluation of customers. And Skyline is the highest rated of the three. Whether you are there or not has nothing to do with the contract signing this time."Steven reaches out, caressing my lips; his ga
I saw Steven's face go white. He slowly picked up the document, staring at it as if he was hesitating whether to read it. My heart began to beat fast; my heart rate became irregular. This feeling I seem to have experienced.I remember when I went to find my mother at Charles's casino. The men there looked at me with the wild gaze of a wolf. Kirk was the one who made fun of me, and the others started teasing me. At that time, they were going to rape a 16-year-old me. I cried out in terror and helplessness at their hideous laughter. Thinking I would die there, I seemed to pass out from the panic. But a little luck smiled on me; a woman saved me. I'm sure it wasn't my mother. She was like a savior, a guardian angel of mine, who saved me from that disgusting place. To save me, she injured her shoulder. To this day, I still don't know her face. Because at that time, everything in front of my eyes was blurry. When I woke up, I was in the hospital, and I hadn't seen her since to say thank yo
Steven took me to a quiet place. Although I have been in this town for almost two months, I never knew there was such a beautiful street here. If in autumn, this road will definitely be gorgeous."Have you been to this place before?" I took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.Steven stopped the car and parked in a position overlooking the lake. He looked into the distance, his eyebrows furrowed with an exhausted face. Steven raised his hand to his forehead, rubbed his temples, and sighed heavily. He seemed to have something to say to me but couldn't.He shook his head, his voice low, "This is my first time here, and I happened to pass by this place. You've never been here before?"I bit my lip and shook my head in response. Since coming here, my life has been repetitive, going to work and home. I didn't dare to let myself have any privacy because then my heart and thoughts were always thinking of Steven. So I don't have time to go to places like this."Diana, why don't you
The following day, Steven and I went to the Skyline restaurant to sign the contract. I didn't want to let people know that we were together last night, so I suggested that Steven leave first and I'll come later. I think Steven will disagree because he is the one who wants to make this relationship public more than ever. However, Steven immediately agreed without asking me why I did it. I know that he respects my opinion.Even so, I told him why I hid my relationship with Steven from my colleagues. I don't want to make him feel insecure or make Steven feel as disrespected as he did when he was in love with Calliope.After we had breakfast together, I saw Steven off to the car. He kissed my forehead and said, "We look like a newlywed couple. Wake up together, eat together, sleep together, and always have you waiting for me when I come home from work."I never thought about this because it was so far away for me. But when I heard these things from Steven's own mouth, a surge of hope and
On the way to Skyline, Zelda and I talked a lot. She told me about the wrong things Calliope had done when she was Steven's lover. I think her haughty, contemptuous nature is due to her being pampered since childhood. I wish Calliope weren't my father's biological son. And I can't share with Zelda that she and I are half-sisters. It's shameful.Zelda really wanted to know how Steven met me, and I told her my story. Her expression changed dramatically, from surprise to horror. It took a while for her to calm down.Zelda looked at me with eyes of compassion and understanding and hesitantly said, "Steven…he…maybe he was…not such a mean person."I smiled and explained:"Oh, yes. I know. I know why Steven did this to me. Anyway, all misunderstandings have been resolved. Of course, I'll still be heartbroken and a little annoyed when I think back on all that. But now Steven has given all his love to me to make up for it. This is enough to make me happy. At first, I still doubted Steven's fee
The following day, Steven was lying next to me when I woke up. He hugged me tightly, making me feel so warm. I remember, yesterday me and Zelda were together on the sofa, but this morning the person lying next to me was him. Maybe last night Steven woke up; he took Zelda into the bedroom and went out to lie on the sofa with me."Good morning, honey!" Steven said softly and kissed my forehead.I was startled because I thought he was still sleeping; I looked up at him confusedly. "Since when did you wake up?""It's been a while. It looks like you slept quite late last night, huh?" He says. Suddenly, Steven laid me on top of him with a single turn. This time, me and his face to face. I don't need to look in the mirror to know that my face is probably as red as a tomato right now. Looking at him now is so charming; I really want to hide this sly man for myself."You seem to enjoy watching this handsome face of me."I nodded shyly, "That's right. I don't know why either."Steven grinned, k
The air around the room was now as cold as ice. Everyone's faces became tense and scared. Zelda and I looked at each other with worried eyes.Steven walked up to me right after that, his voice turned serious: "It seems like people are feeling disgruntled about me putting unqualified employees as full-time employees. And you guys excellent people who have to be interns at Sunwell, aren't you?"No one dared to answer. Even the employees who had worked here for a long time, when they met Steven's cold eyes, bowed their heads to do their work; no one dared to interrupt."That's correct." Calliope crossed her arms over her chest, glanced at me with disdain, and said haughtily: "Recruiting someone who has dropped out of school with no training and work experience will only cost money. and make people look down on it—even taking away the opportunity of excellent trainees. They worked very hard and traded a lot to be able to come here to work and learn. So where's the justice?"Steven sneere
Everyone suddenly fell silent, focusing their eyes on me with concerned eyes. I calmly got up and followed him. Maybe Calliope told this to Darius. I guess that Darius took advantage of what happened between Calliope and me and wanted to see me, but his intentions may have been for something else."Sir, I've brought Miss Diana!""Come in!" Darius' cold voice resounded. "Enoch, please stay out, and don't let anyone disturb my conversation with her."Although I have met the man who has always been by Darius' side, now I know his name. "Enoch - a name like it was born for him; it means devotion, devotion, and loyalty."Enoch bowed his head in respect to his master and said reverently: "Yes, sir."Then, Enoch opened the door for me to enter the room. Darius was sitting majestically on the sofa, his face cold, and looking at me with dangerous eyes."Sir, you asked for me?" I stood a fair distance from him, cautiously speaking.Darius smirked at me; he said sarcastically: "Diana, it seems t
I thought our life was peaceful, but no, something terrible happened. Steven and I got a phone call saying that Odelia got lost while playing in the amusement park and still had yet to find her. We went there immediately. Steven mobilized many people to find her in the park, but Odelia was nowhere to be found.I was so scared, and I cried and called out my daughter's name in vain. Odelia is our treasure, and nothing can happen to her. Three hours have passed, but all the police stations in the city have not received a call about a lost child. At this point, I'm sure someone kidnapped Odelia for ransom.I've been through a lot of fear in my life, but I've never been this scared. It's slowly killing me since I can't find Odelia. If something happened to her, I would never forgive myself. I have never felt so hopeless as I do now. Now, we have to wait for the phone of the person who kidnapped Odelia."Diana, I'm sorry. I…." Zelda said as she sobbed loudly, her trembling hand gripping min
We woke up the following day, arms and legs still entwined as the sun shone through the thin curtains. Steven was so energetic last night, bringing me into a world filled with lust. If I hadn't fallen asleep because I was so tired, maybe Steven wouldn't have had any intention of stopping.Steven kisses my forehead; he leans on his elbows and looks at me lovingly and possessively, making me a little embarrassed. I stroked his silky hair and said, "Good morning, my love!""Good morning sweetheart!" He kissed my white neck; his warm, melodious voice whispered in my ears as if seducing me.I stretched and moaned softly as my whole body was the red kiss marks left by Steven and my entire body ached from last night's lovemaking. I whispered, "I don't know if I have the strength to get up after last night."Steven leaned on the top of me and said in a loving voice, "If you can't walk, I'll carry you."I giggled, wrapped my arms around Steven's neck, and actively kissed his lips a deep kiss.
"Sir, if you don't believe me I can testify for Steven and Diana. They truly love each other. Although I am not Steven's biological sister, we always consider each other a family. I have witnessed all of his emotions when he loves Diana, happy, sad, sad... All they have for each other is a sincere love. The words I say today are attested to by God."Zelda's voice surprised me quite a bit. Suddenly, a lot of people I used to know: Phelim, Muriel and her parents, Felix and Rowan, Karla and the colleagues who had worked with me at Skyline, now working as wedding caterers, stood up and said:"I can also testify to Steven and Diana's love."The person we didn't expect the most was the Mafia boss, Steven's cousin; he stood up and said in a serious voice: "Me too. I know a secret from Steven. He will never shed a tear in front of a girl he doesn't love."Theodore shrugged and said, "As you can see, Steven cried in front of Diana. This proves that he loves his bride very much.Their actions m
I could very clearly feel Steven's body shaking now. Maybe he was too surprised when I appeared in front of him. His eyes sparkled, looking at me with affection and tenderness. His tears fell because he was so happy that I had become his bride. I reach out and carefully wipe away the tears that roll down Steven's cheeks.After that, I glanced down at where Darius was sitting with Zelda's mother, his face full of anger, his bloodshot eyes staring at me. It was late, and there was nothing else he could do now that he had discovered that the bride today was not Zelda. Because if he stood up to prevent this wedding, it would mean that his everything would be exposed. Now he can only grit his teeth and accept it.Next, the priest's voice was heard to reduce the noise of the ceremony."Can we continue?"Steven was too emotional to speak, so I was forced to answer on his behalf. "Yes, Reverend. Please forgive us. Maybe he was just too emotional to be like that."The Pastor smiled and nodded
Tomorrow is Steven's wedding day, and newspapers everywhere have reported on social networking sites. And, of course, there were articles congratulating Steven's happiness. Still, there were also many articles saying that this marriage was just a lie presented by the chairman of Sunwell Group, causing the Royal side to begin to suspect doubt. I know this because Steven called me yesterday and told me everything. Maybe those articles were created by Sunwell's competitors to discredit Steven and bring down Sunwell Corporation.I'm back in New York and ready for my plan. I definitely won't let them achieve that goal.7 am at Sunwell Group hotel.Steven's wedding was held at the biggest hotel in the city. Because the number of guests coming to the wedding ceremony is very large. Those are Sunwell's business partners, not only that but also the group's competitors, who took the opportunity of the wedding ceremony to add fuel to the fire to crush Sunwell. Their primary purpose for coming he
On the way to the hospital, I called Nick to ask about Alan's health. Nick said that Alan was not only severely injured physically but mentally as well. Before Nick took Alan to the hospital, I figured that too. How could a five-year-old child endure that? I went through the same thing as Alan, so I know very well how horrible that feeling can be. To this day, it still haunts me. This will probably be challenging for Alan, Clyde, and me.I raised my hand to rub my temples, my voice becoming heavy:"Nick, help me find the best psychiatrist here to treat Alan when he's released from the hospital."Nick quickly replied politely: "Yes ma'am."After that, I continued to call Steven, and in less than a minute, I heard his familiar, warm voice ringing in my ears."I was going to call you, too. Is Alan OK?""You have read the news already. Maybe Alan needs both physical and psychological treatment."There was a moment of silence between the two of us, and then Steven said apologetically, "Um.
There was a commotion all around. All eyes were on us. They were curious, not knowing what the truth was. There were disdainful eyes, treating this as a pastime; they used it to bet, between Fiona and me, who would die. I nodded, motioning for my bodyguard to give the document to Theodore, but to my surprise, Fiona snatched it and tore it to pieces. Theodore's expression changed; he didn't seem to believe his eyes. Perhaps he also understood that this impulsive act of Fiona was proof that she did something shady behind his back. Fiona still didn't stop; she tried to tear the document to make it deformed. But she didn't know that it was just a trap that I had planned in advance to expose her true face. "Fiona, you really are stupid. The real proof is still here." I held it up high and shook the document in my hand. Fiona looked up at me with a look of indignation and panic. She quickly got up and rushed towards me to destroy the evidence, but my bodyguard was able to stop her in tim
They disregarded my words and burst out laughing. A guy with a poked head, with a large centipede-shaped scar on his face approached me, glared at me and spoke in a threatening tone."Who do you think you are to say such things? If you don't want me to cut your tongue, get the hell out of here. This is not a place you can enter."As he said that, he pulled a dagger from his pocket and danced it in front of me to threaten. He thought this might terrify me, but he was wrong. Today, I must make Fiona kneel in front of Alan to ask for his forgiveness.I ignored them and directly entered the lavish mansion, making the man with the scar on his face angry at being looked down upon by a woman. He bellowed like a wild beast: "Stop whore!"He said and rushed towards me. Immediately, I pulled the gun from the side of a bodyguard walking beside me and without hesitation, I shot him straight in the thigh. The sound of gunfire made them all startle; it was like a signal to start an upcoming war.My
Today is the next court date, and the court also ordered Alan to be present. Although I did not attend the trial, I discovered what was going on through Clyde's attorney. Listening to her narrate everything today made me extremely angry and frustrated. He seemed to want to let go of everything and accept his defeat. Clyde is thwarting her attorney's efforts, leaving her frustrated. And Alan kept crying and refusing to accept Fiona, but that didn't change anything. And from now on, the court also allows Fiona to see Alan regularly so that she can make up for Alan's feelings. Not only that, but I also received a message that I was not allowed to see Alan as I was not his biological mother. I'm sure Fiona made this. Somehow she managed to convince the judge to make such an absurd decision. I'm damned if I'm going to let her get away with that.Later, I asked some bodyguards to investigate this and learned that the judge was on pretty good terms with Fiona's husband. A quick look at the d
