The party was amazing. Avelyn stepped gracefully into the ballroom with Elvis by her side, who seemed so calm in the face of the commotion around him. Beautiful crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the ballroom and emit a beautiful glow, a combination of white lights and dim yellow lights. Then in front there is a stage which on the right side is filled by a group of classical musicians who are playing music very softly. All guests who attended the ballroom were practically treated to melodious classical music, which could reassure their souls.

Avelyn did not expect that she would quickly return to her old socialite routine. As a model, she often attends gala dinners and other dinners that require her to come to a star hotel with all the luxuries that accompany her. Sometimes she would bring a partner, which of course was Michael. She rarely went to dinner parties with Andrew because her husband was very busy. Yeah, but lately she only found out that her husband's busy life i

    "Is it true that Michael likes carbonara pasta with lots of cheese?" "So it is. Why? You must be surprised when you see that boy's body is still in good shape, even though he likes to eat these fatty monsters." Merry smiled softly when she saw the innocent gaze of the young girl next to her who was helping her cook. For a long time, her house had not been decorated with the typical female fanfare. Merry is the only woman in the Phoenix family with one adopted son and one biological son. Her two children rarely got into a fuss at home because they were always on their own path. The ambitious Andrew is busy studying at university to get the degree he has long dreamed of with amazing grades. Meanwhile, Michael, the troublemaker, spends more of his time outside for the typical youthful fun. The two of them are rarely at home to accompany her lonely days.

    It didn't take Avelyn long to wait for Elvis to make a luxurious and amazing wedding party. Within two weeks, Elvis has prepared all kinds of needs for their wedding party. The man's nimble movement was admittedly quite impressive because Elvis did not involve her in organizing her own wedding party. She was just left to work as usual, resting in her comfortable apartment, then they would talk at night around eight for an hour to talk about whatever they found enjoyable. The only thing Avelyn did in her wedding preparations was to try on the luxurious ivory white wedding dress that Elvis had ordered from a well-known boutique in LA. For the price, Avelyn really didn't want to think about it because Elvis would definitely not buy a cheap dress for his bride to wear. And for the dress style, Avelyn was very grateful that the man's taste was not bad. In fact, according to Avelyn, Elvis's taste was very good because they both had the same taste. Now Avelyn was staring at her nails being

    Avelyn couldn't help but roar the joy in her chest. After the pastor legalized their marriage to be a marriage blessed by God and recognized by the state, Elvis immediately kissed her with great tenderness as a husband. Now Avelyn really has the name Taylor behind her name. And now she has also officially become a young lady in Elvis's house, which is so big like a palace. "I love you, Ave." Elvis whispered softly in front of Avelyn's trembling lips which now looked slightly swollen and shiny. The second kiss Avelyn received from Elvis was truly extraordinary. Avelyn thought, Elvis must have been a charming man who was crazy about many women in his youth. "Me too. And I'm happy." Avelyn replied honestly. After the marriage ceremony at the church, their party was continued with a festive party held by Elvis at one of his business partners' hotels. Avelyn couldn't help but feel amazed as she stepped into the ballroom for the first time which had been transformed into a party arena th

    For more than thirty minutes Avelyn waited for Michael in the living room nodding off. It felt like her eyes were very heavy, and she was hungry too. In addition, her damp clothes felt uncomfortable on jer body, making Avelyn feel very angry with Michael for kidnapping her and ignoring her. Avelyn had been shivering to be in the living room alone all along. Not a single person there passed. Even the waiter, no one appeared just to greet Avelyn as usual. In the large living room, Avelyn was only accompanied by a few jumbo-sized photos, all of which had an unfriendly facial expression. All the photos on the wall are of Michael's ancestors. In the last row of photos, Avelyn could see a portrait of Michael's current face staring at the camera with a sharp and arrogant gaze. How disgusting! Avelyn thought irritably. No wonder Michael went wild like that. He must have felt bored living in his luxurious, yet cold home. If his mother weren't around, Michael would have been lonely and feeling

    The next day a golden glare burst through the open curtains, making Avelyn who was still asleep immediately opened her eyes while groaning softly because she felt her body ache. This is her first morning as a newlywed. Avelyn had imagined the romantic things she would do with Elvis in the morning before they got into their respective routines. But Avelyn felt empty when her hands began to touch the side of her bed which Elvis had filled last night. With a feeling of half disbelief, Avelyn immediately opened her eyes and looked to herself at her empty right side. "Elvis?" called Avelyn loudly. But only the silence that Avelyn got in Elvis's spacious room left only a little chaos, on the bed that Avelyn used. With a disappointed sigh, Avelyn bent her knees to her chin and threw her head over her knees. This is not the marriage she wants. The shadows of her shattered marriage with Andrew came back to haunt her and suffocate Avelyn. The first day after becoming Elvis's wife, she lost hi

    Stepping into a room with a masculine feel that the owner had long abandoned felt so different. The room was cold now. The winds blowing from the gaps in the windows were so freezing, instead it should have brought the scorching summer air out there. How long has the room been left? The answer was months ago. The owner was killed in a single accident that occurred on the streets of Columbia. Lean took a deep breath, then exhaled strongly with emotion. In that room he had many memories with Michael. Memories of when they discussed business, discussed the past, or discussed love. All things related to that man did not escape Lean's attention because they both grew up carrying old wounds from the past. Sitting on Michael's dusty black chair, it felt like Lean could still feel Michael's warm body there. The man liked to sit for hours in his office thinking about the various kinds of innovations he wanted to develop for his company. The company he started himself with all the sweat and pa

    Elvis was forced to leave his bride at his beach house in Balboa when an important call from his retail company in San Diego got into trouble. There is someone who is reported to have embezzled some company funds after he smuggled a spy in the office. Bingo! Elvis was pleased that his efforts to ensnare the mice were successful. Unfortunately, the timing of the arrest was a little bit wrong because the news came when he was struggling with his bride. "Scotish has been doing that for a year." "I'm not surprised that the financial statements in the San Diego office always look odd." Elvis sipped his coffee quietly while talking to his San Diego spy Pieter Smuggler. Actually Elvis had been suspicious of Scotish since ten months ago. But he didn't want to be reckless in catching Scotish when the evidence was not strong enough, so he let the man hang around his company assuming he was safe. Or assuming he could fool lonely old Elvis. But who would have thought that Elvis was never that

    About five hundred meters from the main door of the hotel, Lean can already find the beach sand that becomes the barrier between the paved roads and the exotic shoreline. The sight of palm trees waving in the wind is the first sight Lean sees after entering the beautiful Balboa Beach area. After that, Lean can see various kinds of tourists from various countries sunbathing or chatting around the rented mats sold by local residents for tourists who want to sunbathe or just chat while enjoying the snacks they buy around the beach. At first glance Lean imagined that things like that would be fun if he did it with someone he loved. A woman maybe. Unfortunately Lean was too upset to carry on with his shadow because it would only hurt him in the end. A woman? thought Lean bitterly. There will be no woman in his life. It will never exist until it rots in the ground in eternity. Lean looked doubtfully at a brown haired woman who had just bumped into him. The woman is now sitting on the brown

    The halls were full and bustling with Royale High School students. Avelyn walked as usual down the hallway, ignoring the scornful stares of her friends. Isn't that normal? Avelyn thought sarcastically. For almost three years, she had always received the same gaze from them. So this is no longer a problem for her. But is she sure that this is not a problem? A student suddenly blocked her way. He looked at her body with an impolite look, then suddenly gripped her chin with a painful grip. "Let me go!" Avelyn hissed sarcastically. As far as she knew she had never had any business with the dark curly-haired student. But she knew what his name was, Hudson. That boy had never bothered her, at least as long as she was with Michael. Only a fool would dare to deal with Michael. Unfortunately not anymore. Avelyn wasn't part of Michael anymore, ever since she slapped the man for her lecherous act. Their relationship was practically broken. Michael didn't come to her often in class anymore to d

    Avelyn hesitated to ring the bell in front of her. But this is the only chance she has so she can be free from Michael who has been looking for her since five days ago. Her flight from that man was not time to stop. She had to keep moving in order to avoid Michael's hired spies whom he had seen in the various places he had been. This morning when she came out of her rented apartment on the outskirts of LA, she saw a man with glasses standing reading a newspaper across the street, right in front of her apartment window. Of course she wouldn't be as paranoid as it if the man she saw this morning was not the same as the man she saw yesterday while having lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Without any hesitation, Avelyn was sure that this man was the spy Michael sent to find her. But to hell with that guy. After she was sure that her position was known, she just walked out of the apartment, speeding fast right in front of the man using her sports car which she happened to be able to rely o

Since his wife and child died, Elvis has continued to make himself like a robot who has absolutely no thought for his own health. Now at the age of fifty-three, Elvis looked so pale, his cheekbones protruded horribly because of his thin body.

    Lean stroked the top of Hill's head affectionately. Just as he expected, Hill was still sick and not completely healed. After an hour of playing in the park, Hill has now fallen asleep on his shoulders. That kid was not as active as usual. When he tried to impress Hill with his basketball skills, the boy just clapped his hands without showing any enthusiasm. But whatever it was, Lean felt relieved that Hill was doing well. It only takes a little more time to rest, medicine, and nutritious food, and Hill will soon recover from illness. "Oh, I was just about to catch up with you." Letha looked surprised when Lean suddenly stood behind her who had just locked the apartment door.

"Your friend is home?" “Yes, ten minutes ago. After clearing the glasses and plates, I intend to catch up with you. Is he a bother?" Letha led Lean to Hill

The cold war that occurred between them actually made their household unclear like this. Even last night Elvis didn't contact her at all. Even though when Avelyn activated her cellphone this morning, she hoped Elvis would call her, looking for her with a panicked face while praying non-stop throughout the night, asking God for her safety. But all she got when her white cellphone was completely turned on was a pile of emails from credit cards, from the legality agency Lean who sent her a copy of the employment contract, then a few missed calls from Becca. In addition, there were absolutely no calls

    Letha rested on her chin in Hill's room while accompanying the boy to play with his dinosaurs. It had been quite a while since Tatyana had said goodbye to go out with her boyfriend. Her heart had been wondering whether Lean would come to see his child? Is Lean willing to leave the pleasures that woman offers in his apartment? The more she thought about it, Letha's head grew dizzy and her heart pounded. She can't just keep expecting a man who clearly doesn't expect her anymore. This is her fault.

    Avelyn closed the door to Lean's apartment and stayed where she was with a frown as she stared at the door. Just now Letha came. But he thought the woman looked strange. Her face showed both nervousness and surprise when she saw her open the door. Avelyn then glanced at her own appearance from top to toe, at her bare feet. Instantly she patted herself on the forehead and voiced some curses for the stupidity she had done this morning. Really she didn't mean to misunderstand her. No wonder Letha immediately looked pale after seeing her come out to open the door. her appearance this morning really couldn't be said to be appropriate. She thought she was still wearing her wet dress last night because she didn't even check her appearance before getting out of bed. Moments ago she was awakened by the disturbing sound of the bell from the front door. She saw Lean sleeping soundly on the sofa, made her feel so sorry that she decided to open the door without waking Lean. Seeing the man so guar
