His eyes were all red. His breath reeked of alcohol. He approached me with the document in his hand. A transparent plastic file contains a person's case report information. My name is in the patient column. It was six months ago."I saw the video from Santa Maria Hospital," he said, word by word, "I saw us together. It turned out that we not only knew each other, but we were close. But you told me you didn't know me at all. Why?"The truth will be found out one day, and the deep-buried secret will be found out sooner or later. I unconsciously stepped back until my back hit the wall. How do I explain this to him?"Tell me." His voice was full of authority. "How can you lie to me?""We have nothing to do with each other," I said calmly. "Those videos don't mean anything."He stared at me, as if his eyes were piercing through me. His breath became heavy, like a lion about to explode."If those videos don't mean anything," he said, taking a piece of paper from his pocket and spreading it
Frade is gone, but his scent is still in the room. My body began to cool down, and all desire disappeared with his departure. I couldn't stay in the room alone. I couldn't forget the intimacy I had with him.So I rushed out of the room and knocked on Liv's door. When she opened the door to meet me, I finally couldn't help crying. Liv put her arm around me and sat me down on the couch. She kept handing me tissues to wipe my tears. After I had calmed down a little, she said to me."Eva, are you all right?" She said, wiping the tears from my eyes with a tissue. "Tell me what happened.""I'm in pain." My voice was hoarse after I cried. "My heart is dead.""Oh, silly," Liv whispered. "Who hurt you? Tell me.""It was me, I killed myself." I hugged her."Calm down." Liv kissed my forehead, her hand caressing my back. "I'm right here with you."I lay in her arms until the tears ran dry. I looked out of the window in silence. Liv let me lean on her, and she kept me company until I said somethi
I woke up immediately. The telephone is in my hand. I glanced at Liv in bed. She was still asleep. So I whispered on the phone, "I just woke up.""Who are you with?" The caller demanded."Liv, my good friend.""Come and see me, little rose," he said. "I have a present for you."I wanted to tell him that I didn't care about presents, and that it would be nice if he would let me sleep an extra hour. Looking at the empty cans on the floor, I can't remember how many beers we had last night. Maybe Liv and I had three rounds last night. Before leaving the room, I went to the bathroom to wash my face with water and then rinse my mouth with mouthwash. I didn't want to look too embarrassed when I saw Daley later.The door was unlocked and opened with a little push. There was a light in the sky and the room was dark. The curtains of the French windows were drawn to either side, and a shallow ray of sunlight fell on Daley. He was wearing a black suit with his back to me and his hands in his pock
"What else do you know?" Daley looked at me intently. "Who told you about my recruitment? Was it Frade?""Tell me, are you going to kill Frade?" I stared at him."Tell me, if you had to choose again, would you choose Frade or me?" He asked."Why do you care so much about that answer?""Because I love you." His voice softened, "I risked my life to bring back women who had been trafficked to pudding, and I have broken my rules over and over again because of you. I even went to Cartier headquarters to have a custom wedding ring made for you. I wanted to surprise you. But you hurt me.""I never meant to hurt you." I lowered my head in shame.“I want to give you the best of everything in the world,” Daley said, pulling a beautiful ring box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a large sapphire ring. “I just want you to be happy.”"No, Daley," I said quickly, in case he was about to kneel down and propose. "I'm afraid I can't bear the weight of your love.""Because of Frade?" He looked sa
Mia picked up a white bathrobe from the sofa and put it on. Her hair looked wet. I guess they were just getting out of the shower when they heard the doorbell.I looked around the room. On the table were plates of caviar, black truffles, foie gras and toast. It looks as if the food has been tasted and thrown away on a plate. Next to it were several empty wine bottles and two goblets.Then I caught a glimpse of white powder on the tin foil on the coffee table, and a bad feeling came over me.Was Frade using heroin?“Honey,” Mia said to Frade in a sweet voice, “Can you go to the coffee shop and get a cup of coffee?”"Cappuccino?" Frade looked at her with doting eyes."Yes." Mia looked at him. "My tastes haven't changed, you know.""What about you?" Frade asked me with a wink. "What kind of coffee would you like?""No, thanks," I said coldly.Frade went into the bedroom to change into a casual outfit and Mia gave him a kiss before he left. I deliberately looked out the window until the d
"Do you decide?" Daley asked."Yes.""No regrets?""Never!"There was a two-second silence at the other end of the phone, and I almost held my breath. Is he hesitating? Will he refuse me?"Where are you?" He said.Then I told him where the hotel was."Wait for me."Less than 15 minutes after I hung up, a black Mercedes pulled up in front of me. The car door opened and Daley sat on the back seat and looked at me from the inside.He was surprised when I jumped into the car and threw myself into his arms. The car started slowly and I sat on his lap. My legs wrapped around his waist, and I pressed my lips to his mouth as he tried to speak. He flattered me, and my tongue went into his mouth. I sucked on his soft, sweet tongue, and his hand went into my shirt and stroked the skin of my back.The kiss was like a stick of dynamite. As soon as we touch it, it will explode. His touch aroused the primal desires of my body. It was then that I realized that my body wasn't just reacting to Frade.I
I left Daley's legs and sat down next to him. As I got dressed, Daley asked as he adjusted the buttons on his shirt."Now you can tell me, what made you change your mind? I won't forget why you left me.""Mia's back," I said coldly, leaning back in my chair."The b.itch is back?" Daley said sarcastically. "I thought she was rotting in the ground.""I don't know." I didn't want to think about that sad scene. "Anyway, she came back and slept with Frade.""So you decided to marry me to get back at him?" Daley quipped."You can refuse me.""You know I can't say no to you." He touched my cheek with his finger. "We'll be at the airport soon. If you change your mind now, it's not too late.""I won't go back to my word," I said firmly, though I knew I was acting out of spite.I looked out the window and saw the tarmac. The car stopped. Only then did the silent driver speak.“Sir, we've reached our destination.”"Thank you."Daley opened the door, and I got out of the car and saw a Gulfstream
He looked up at me affectionately with his golden eyes. He took one of my hands and said, “Eva, you know what? I was so excited and flustered when you promised to marry me. Once I fell into Hell, the darkness accompanied me. You are the only light in my life. You let me feel the beauty of the world, the fragrance of flowers, and the beating of the pulse again. You are the world's most pure and beautiful white rose. You are the only one that I want to accompany and protect in my life. Even if the sea runs dry, even if the mountain falls, my love for you will never change. I love you, my gorgeous rose.”“Oh, Daley.” I was touched by his sincere confession, and warm tears fell from my eyes. He lowered his head and kissed the back of my hand. I helped him up and hugged him tightly.“I love you too.” I said the words buried in my heart.At that moment, I realized that I also loved Daley. I just never realized how I felt about him. All I saw was Frade. I was chasing Frade so much that I nev
