Frade drove me to the beach and we walked side by side on the beach. The beach here is so remote that few people pass by. At this moment, the sun is slowly setting to the west. The orange sunlight is aspersed on the sea surface along with the waves, and it is like a thin gold gauze to sway.We were silent for a long time. We walked slowly along the beach on the soft sand, like a real couple. Suddenly, Frade put his arm around my waist from behind, and we stopped at the same time.He looked at me deeply, his green eyes showing a look that was hard to guess. He touched my cheek lightly, his sexy lips parted slightly.The sea breeze was gently blowing over the beach, and he slowly bowed his head and kissed my lips. The kiss was tender and sincere. I didn't say no. I welcomed him when his tongue opened my teeth.It's been a long time since I've tasted a kiss. I've even forgotten what it's like to be kissed. He let a little fire appear in my original dead heart, let my original cold body f
I lowered my head and hid my body behind Frade's clothes. He gave me a curious look, and it was clear to him that I was running from someone. So he whispered something to the restaurant manager in a kimono, who then led us in the other direction.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jenny talking to a man. Luckily, she didn't see me. She and the man went in the opposite direction."Who is that woman?" Frade sat on his tatami, his upper body standing upright, with a languid nobility."A clerk from my husband's company!" I took a sip from my white ceramic teacup. From the wooden sliding doors, we could vaguely see people passing by, but at least no one outside could see me in the room.That was a relief, and I'm still worried about being caught with Frade by someone I know. The feeling of cheating bothered me. Frade seemed to guess what I was thinking. His hand crossed the table and stroked the back of my hand."I told you. You don't have to worry about anything around me. I promise no on
The lights above my head illuminate the dance floor, and the light and ambiguous dance music encircles the men and women like a soft and smooth ribbon. I took Frade's hand and was nervous because I hadn't danced with a man in a long time. Even after I married Ron, he rarely took me to parties like this."Follow my steps, slowly!" Frade pressed against my back. His whisper, caught in the dance music, floated into my ear like a thin cotton wool. One of his hands caressed my lower abdomen, and even the slightest touch from him made me feel like an electric shock. My arms were immediately covered with bumps.I'm slowly getting back to the way I felt when I went to prom in college. A yellow light lingered for a few seconds on Frade's half-masked face. I looked up at him. On the other side of the mask were his distinct features.He had deep, tender green eyes, a tall nose, and a thin mouth. Half of his exposed face was so charming. The other half of his face was covered with a silver mask,
Frade drove the car to the address I gave him. He seemed to know the city well because he drove near my home without even using GPS. My old home, to be exact.Through the window, I could see the pitch-black asphalt road and the trees swaying in the night wind. The sign in front of me became clearer and clearer. I looked up and saw the words -- Green Manor.Green was my family name, and I knew that my home was not far away. I suddenly felt cold all over and even a little queasy. When the fear returned, I told Frade to stop the car."Are you all right?" Frade touched my forehead. "You're so cold!""I'm fine!" I took off his coat and took my old clothes out of the bag and put them on. I can't go home in such bright clothes. It's against the rules."Eva, can you tell me what you're doing?" Frade grimaced as he grabbed my hand that was pushing the door open. "Don't leave me!""Frade, I have to walk the rest of the way!" I turned my head away from him, but his heavy snoring could still be h
The white light in the study was blinding, and I knew my father was waiting for me in a chair behind the desk. The wrinkles on his face grew deeper with the passage of time, but his cruel heart did not change at all!The closer I got to the table, the more cold I felt.When I was a child, I once accidentally broke into my father's study for fun. It's his private space for work and reading. No one can set foot inside without his permission. But that time I just forgot the rule. When he found that I had broken into his private study, his face was very cold. Just a look, I was scared to the spot.His eyes were like those of a lion staring at a smaller animal. It was a look of condescension, disdain, and ferocity. He could easily kill all the animals in front of him if he wanted to.Finally, my father asked Lady Mary to take me to the lecture room, which was reserved for people who had made mistakes. My father punished me by making me naked and kneel before the Madonna to confess my sins.
Once again, I fell into a death-like state. My body was as heavy as soaked cotton. In the darkness, a force was pulling me down. My mind wandered between the unreal and the real, and I was sure I could hear voices in my ears, and I could even see a tall figure moving in front of me.But when I opened my eyes to see the world, I realized that what had just happened was an illusion. But Frade was standing right in front of me, just like what I had seen in my dream.I went back to the hotel where we were alone for the first time."You're awake!" His voice whispered in my ear, a hand covering my forehead. "You had a fever!"I turned my head away and looked at him carefully. His green eyes were clear for the moment, and his chin was surrounded by green stubble. I want to say something to thank him for taking care of me when I was sick. But I'd rather ask him another question."Do men like to tame everything, especially women?" I stared at him, wondering if he thought I was a woman he'd nev
The bodyguard standing outside the ward checked my handbag carefully. When he was sure everything was OK, one of the bodyguards motioned for me to come in. None of them noticed what I had hidden in my sleeve.I went into the ward. Gina was sitting on a large hospital bed with her back against a pillow, dressed in light blue. There were many red roses in a glass jar beside her bed, but they didn't look so fresh anymore. The aroma of the roses overshadowed the smell of disinfectant.Gina saw me. Her red lips curled upward into a victorious smile. She put the hand with the needle in it on her belly, as if she were hiding something precious under it."You don't look well, my sister!" She drawled. "Did father punish you again? You're a wretch!"I walked up to her, my eyes fixed on her arrogant, smug face."Yes. My sister, as you wish. You're just like your w.hore mother."My words made Gina even more arrogant. She caressed her flat belly in an exaggerated way that made it impossible for me
We found a cafe near the hospital. There are not many guests here. The waitress in the pink apron was standing next to Ron with the menu, and I could clearly see her swaying her hips and rubbing Ron's arms. Ron, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy it. He didn't turn down an offer from a strange woman. As the waitress served us coffee, she kept glancing at the Rolex Ron was wearing.How can a woman not like a man who's rich and young? And for a woman to flirt so actively, what man can resist the temptation? Money lets a man do whatever he wants, but a woman has to remain faithful to her marriage. How ridiculous that sounds!"Ron!" I hoped my voice would bring his fantasies about the waitress back to reality. "I think I have something to say!""Okay, I'm listening!" Ron leaned back in his leather chair and looked at me calmly."Even though our marriage was a business one, I always tried to do my job as a wife after we got married. Once we were a loving couple. I have always regarded you
