“What is it?” Titus asked. One of the security guards shook his head. “I-It’s nothing.”“Really?” “Y-Yeah.” Despite the security guards earnestly saying that there was nothing wrong, their gazes betrayed them.Titus walked in and looked up. The lights were on.Was someone here? He sped up and ent
After Titus heard that Kieran had never tasted Carol’s cooking, his frown disappeared. He picked up his spoon and drank the soup. His stern face adopted a gentler look. Carol knew then that she had conquered Titus’s stomach with her soup. Since she was confident in her cooking skills, she filled u
Titus’s eyes were full of mockery. “Marry you?”His gaze stung, but Carol smiled to hide her pain. She continued cradling his face while she said seductively, “Exactly. Marry me. Are you telling me you want to marry someone else?”“Do you really want to marry me?”“I do.” Carol smiled wider. “Who wo
Carol picked up Titus’s phone and saw that he did not lock his screen. Well then, he could not blame her anymore. It was his fault for not locking his screen. Carol rejected Aqua’s call and sent her a message. [Riverbank International.]Aqua soon replied. [I’ll be there soon.]Once Carol saw the r
Carol. She was always full of surprises. He stood up and headed out. “You can leave now.”“What?” Aqua thought that she misheard him. “I just arrived, and you’re asking me to leave? Ty, are you toying with me?”“I’m not the one toying with you.”“Who could it be, then? Are they a man or a woman?”
Aqua started crying. For the first time in five years, she hugged Titus and cried her heart out, as if she finally had an outlet for all of the sadness she kept in her heart. But she forgot that the current Titus was no longer the young man in his mid twenties. He was twenty-nine years old and abou
When Carol woke up the next day, it was already noon. Piercing sun shone through the curtains. Carol sat up while squinting. Her waist was sore and numb. She went to the bathroom and saw the hickies on her neck. Then, she remembered how Titus had spoken to her while he kept changing their positions
Sirius watched on his phone as all of Tiny Blessings’s products were removed from Amazon. They even put up a notice.[In order to improve upon our image, we will be closing our doors and restructuring our business. After three months, we will reopen our store. Please forgive us for the inconvenience
Since then, the Fritzgerald family fell from grace, and the shock was so great that Robin died in prison. During the funeral, Aster stared at Robin’s photo on his tombstone and smiled. “See, Grandpa? I still managed to destroy the Fritzgerald family’s cage in this timeline.”The Fritzgerald Corpora
“I know that you’re trying to fool me into becoming your puppet again. Over the past decade, I worked hard for Fritzgerald Corporation. I did whatever you asked me to, but I won’t listen to you when it comes to marrying someone who will spend the rest of her days with me. If you really want a puppet
Sirius could not figure out what she meant and could only nod. Myka did not want to stay here any longer and left to look for Aster. He was at the door of the doctor’s office. By the looks of it, he had just come out. “Well? I’m fine, aren’t I? I told you I was.”Aster ruffled her hair affectionat
He took over the report from Myka’s hands and took a look. But it only made him angrier. “You’re pregnant?”Myka slapped her hand over her forehead. She did not even have the time to explain what had happened and could only say, “Look at the name.”Feeling skeptical, Sirius checked the name, only to
What she said made Aster so happy that he rushed over to Myka like a child and kissed her forehead gently. “Alright, sweetheart.”If she were not injured, he would have picked her up and twirled her around simply because he was too happy. After Aster bade her goodnight, he turned the lights off for

She reached the third floor. The two men were about to meet up with the man on the first floor. Myka quickly went to the second floor. She had to seize the chance to jump. Otherwise, when the three of them came up to look for her, she would have a hard time escaping. Myka looked out one of the wind
Those two men did not search quickly. She only heard them getting closer after more than one hour passed. They were right outside. They had even entered the apartment. Myka held her breath. Her heart raced. “There’s a closet here. She might be hiding inside.”“Are you blind? The drawers are small
Robin hung up. All he could think about was what Aster told him just now. He wanted familial love? What a joke! The Fritzgerald family had built a business empire. If they had let themselves be controlled by those useless emotions, their empire would have fallen to ruins a long time ago!He answere
