Dominic Arnold really went on a business trip for three days, he disappeared without a trace. Taking advantage of this leisure time, I decided to use the powers of mistress, shopping for some necessary personal items.I went for a walk in the mall and picked up a few pairs of ballet shoes. When I stopped by the high-heeled shoe store, my gaze faltered a little. I really like the glittery rhinestones, they look both shiny and classy. However, as a ballet dancer, I have to admit that my feet are very ugly, so wearing high heels really doesn't look good at all.I gazed at the designer high heels for a while to satisfy my own liking, then was about to leave.Unexpectedly, the saleswoman warmly approached me and invited me to buy high heels."Pretty lady, would you like to come into our store and check out the latest high heels?The new collection of high-heeled shoes "Iridescent Crystal" is released, a beauty like a lady should not be missed."The saleswoman's skillful greeting really mad
In the evening, after eating, I went to my room to try on clothes. Except for the expensive "Shining Ruby" high heels, the items I bought were pretty cheap. Mainly, I buy the necessary items for ballet.Since I was pranked by Kaylin's friends and ruined my beautiful ballet dress, I decided to buy a few more sets in case the same situation happened.I stood in front of the mirror, trying to pull the zipper of my dress, but my fingers couldn't reach it."Aww, the zipper is so hard to take off..."Suddenly, a cold hand touched my back. Immediately after, I felt the buckle of my skirt being easily undone. The masculine scent enveloped the space and I immediately realized who was standing behind me."Thank you, Dominic Arnold. Did you just get home?""Um." After helping me, Dominic undressed leisurely and went to the bathroom.I heard the rushing water, maybe he was about to take a shower."Get me a clean towel and a set of pajamas."Dominic's voice came from the bathroom, and I did as he
'You get what you wish for'. That probably worked for me.A few days later, a lawyer suddenly contacted me. He said he could help me get the inheritance. With suspense and excitement, I made an appointment to meet him at a cafe near Malibu Academy. Right after afternoon ballet class, we met."Hello Miss Joan. I'm Attorney Kevin.""Hello, Mr. Kevin." I took his business card, smiled slightly, and sat down."Do you have tea or coffee?" Attorney Kevin politely asked me."Tea, please."While waiting for the waiter to bring the drinks, we talked for a while to get to know each other. Turns out, Kevin is not the lawyer that Dominic Arnold sent me as I thought. He was a lawyer with a famous law firm and happened to know of the inheritance trouble I was having.At first, I was a little hesitant to trust Kevin, but Dominic assured me nonetheless that he would help me with this troublesome inheritance. I still remember the agreement between me and Dominic, if he helps me get the inheritance tha
I returned to the academy just in time for the teacher to enter the classroom. This is a supplementary class exclusively for Royal, the most prestigious and famous ballet group at Mailbu Academy.The members of the Royal group are all famous ballet dancers and have won many professional awards.Except for Kaylin, Garrick, I recognize a few familiar faces. Jade Roxaleen, Baldric Herrington and Veronica. If Kaylin was dubbed the 'white swan' of Malibu academy with her ability to captivate audiences, Veronica is the 'black swan' that is both mysterious and attractive.Veronica's personality is quite quiet, introverted and has no friends. She's the same age as me and doesn't come from a noble family. She is Ms Glenda's cousin, a descendant of a family with a tradition of ballet since childhood. Out of all of us here, Veronica is considered to be the most innovative and unique ballet dancer.As soon as I entered the classroom, many eyes fell on me, including Baldric Herrington. In the past
The pain in my ankle made me limp. I plan to go straight to the bus stop and go to the hospital. It's getting colder and colder and this is pretty bad for the bump on my ankle. By the way, I also want to visit my mother.Outside the academy's gate, several students were still gathering. They are probably waiting for the family's private car to pick them up. Being born into a wealthy family was a great advantage for them."I feel sad for Esther Joan, she's so delusional that she can pass Kaylin just because she got better than Kaylin on the assessment.""Duck can't be compared to swan, haha. Anyway, Kaylin is Jenny's favorite student, Kaylin's position won't change.""That's right. And even if there was someone who could really replace Kaylin, it would only be Veronica, not the country girl Esther Joan."I had deliberately ignored their teasing, but it seemed they were purposely aimed at me and wanted to see me angry.My intention is to shut up and leave, to avoid bothering with these
Sitting in the car with Dominic, neither of us said anything. The distance from the academy to the hospital is not too far. Half an hour later, my ankle was carefully bandaged, Dominic even bought more tonics to help my leg heal faster."Dominic, I want to stay a little longer to see my mother. Just go home, you don't have to wait for me.""I'm at the hospital anyway, I'll go with you."Dominic didn't want to go home yet, he accompanied me to my mother's hospital room. A few days ago, the doctor called to say that my mother had regained consciousness a few times, but the time to wake up was not long. Just a few hours after waking up, my mother fell asleep again.Seeing my mother fast asleep in bed, my mood could not be at ease.I used a clean towel to wipe my mother's body. Actually, this is not necessary, I just want to take care of my mother.Dominic is very attentive, he not only fulfilled his promise to find a good doctor to help my mother but also hired a nanny to take care of my
Bad news often comes at a time when we don't expect it.Around five in the morning, while I was still asleep, Dominic suddenly woke me up. My mind is still buzzing with the effects of alcohol. I raised my eyebrows questioningly and asked him."What is going on?"Dominic was already dressed, looking more hurried than usual. His eyes looked at me with sadness, which made me acutely aware that something was wrong."My mother is in critical condition, we need to go to the hospital right away."I got up immediately and quickly changed my clothes. Early in the morning, the road was not blocked, so it didn't take us long to get to the hospital. I was in an unsettled mood like never before, and inadvertently I bit off a few of my fingernails.Dominic took my hand and took me to the emergency room, he kept reassuring me to help calm me down but that didn't make me feel good.During the hour of waiting, I felt like my spirit was being tortured, my head aching and spinning. I try not to think ab
The particular place Dominic was talking about was a beach located on the outskirts of the city. Although I have been in this city for many years, I have never been to this place.When we got there, coincidentally it was sunset. The sun was like a tiny fireball that slowly disappeared under the ocean surface. This scene was so beautiful that I stood and stared at it for a long time."My mother brought me to this place. This is her favorite place."Dominic slowly talked about his childhood, his voice was even and warm, his expression gentle, no longer cold and docile as usual. For some reason, I have a feeling that watching him is even more enjoyable than watching the sunset on this beautiful beach.This man is really top quality, straight nose bridge, mysterious blue eyes, low voice attractive. I look up at him, my heart can't help but beat a little fasterThe concept of the perfect man didn't exist in my mind, until Dominic Arnold appeared."Love me?""Huh?""You're staring at me. Ar
The very next day, the entire media covered the news regarding Kaylin Joan's past. Videotapes of her bullying her sister, Esther Joan, have sex with multiple men, even with other people's husbands. There are tapes so rare that Kaylin himself may not know it exists.After that, a series of posts accused Kaylin of living a fake life, disdain for fans, and brazen.It seems that all public opinion is pointed at Kaylin. Right now, at Kaylin's house, she was frantically smashing things, roaring like a madman."Who? Who harmed me? I knew right away that when that bastard Esther returned, misfortune would find me again."Kaylin bit her lip, scratched her head, and threw a ceramic vase at the door. Baldric, who was standing outside, heard this and quietly backed away. Kaylin had been so mad for several hours, he dared not enter the room. He knew Esther was forever an existence that made Kaylin insecure.After throwing everything in the room for a while, Kaylin angrily grabbed her phone and mad
The aroma of bone broth rose, I put some coriander leaves and pepper in it, then stirred it up. The taste was not bad, I happily scooped the soup into a bowl. Kenelm is running indoors and playing with the dog we bought him last week."Dominic, Kenelm, it's time for lunch."I called out to them softly, Dominic came out of the study, picked up Kenelm and made fun of him, and then we sat down to dinner.It has been six months since the shipwreck, people are spreading a lot of rumors regarding it. But no one knows the truth.At that time, Dominic asked me if I believed him, then he dragged me into the sea. I really thought I was dead, unexpectedly, when I woke up, I was lying in a clean room.Dominic lay in the bed next to him and was bandaged by the doctor. Many others were also saved. It turned out that Dominic's father Donald soon received his son's news and drove a giant submarine. All the people who jumped into the water were brought into the submarine by the Arnold family subordina
Six months later...Kaylin Joan and Baldric Herrington were walking together happily. They have been married for more than a year and have become a couple admired and followed by young people. Their social media accounts are always filled with intimate and happy photos.Currently, Kaylin is already a celebrity, representing people with disabilities, inspiring people. She was very good at acting, and in all these years no one had suspected that she was pretending to be friendly. As for Baldric, he doesn't have a job, he is a rich young man with a lot of money to spend, so every day he just carries bags for his wife.Today, Kaylin and Baldric were walking down the street, everyone noticed them and took pictures. Kaylin felt so proud and happy, she grinned and waved goodbye to everyone.Moments later, Kaylin and Baldric entered a cafe together."I'm tired of those crazy fans." Kaylin pouted."Don't be mad, it's thanks to them that we're famous, isn't it?" Baldric coaxes Kaylin."Hey, shh
My son and I waited in the room for a long time, there was no movement outside, which made my heart feel even more anxious. The tired Kenelm fell asleep in my arms, the boy was still innocent and didn't know what danger was."Esther, I finally found you. We have to get out of here fast. Can't wait any longer." Frederick rushed into the room and spoke in a panicked voice."What's wrong? What's the matter?" I frantically took Kenelm in my arms and ran after Frederick."The boat is about to depart for the mainland.""How can such a small boat be enough for hundreds of people?" I wonder."Just us leaving. As I promised, I'll save you and Kenelm."I stopped, my face full of bewilderment. Dominic's enemies have reached this yacht and want to kill everyone?"No, I have to find Dominic.""Are you crazy?" Frederick pulled my arm back. "My boss has gone crazy, he wants to kill everyone, including him. Now you go find him, it's like you give your life for him to kill.""But I can't just leave Do
As soon as Dominic and Rory took Kenelm out of the yacht's grand lobby, I found them."Oh Esther, I keep worrying about you." Rory let out a breath when he saw me.I nodded at him to show I was fine, then took Kenelm from his hand. The boy woke up and bewilderedly asked me what happened. I could only reassure him and hug him tightly."Dominic, I overheard Frederick talking on the phone with his boss just now. Looks like they're planning to sink this yacht, only their subordinates will leave in a boat."I hurriedly explained Dominic. His face was contemplative, and his mood seemed tense."Besides, their boss..."Before I could finish my words, the sound of a helicopter in the distance sounded. We all looked up at the pitch black sky at the same time and saw the flashing lights from the helicopter."Is the lifeguard coming to rescue us?" Rory wondered."No, it is not." I immediately denied it. "The boss of those attacking us.""Really? What made him come here in person?" Rory frowned su
In the main hall of the yacht, everyone is handcuffed and blindfolded. I walked next to Dominic, feeling my heart beat faster and faster in my chest.I'm missing Garrick so much now, I wonder what the hell happened to him. Vivian says he's dead, this is not necessarily true, but does not rule out the possibility that his life is in danger. A few days ago I texted Garrick that I was on the yacht with Dominic and we've made up now. But he didn't reply.At the time, I didn't think much of it, just assumed he wasn't happy when I got back with Dominic. So I didn't text him anymore, I intended to wait until this trip was over when I would meet him and talk properly. Unexpectedly, bad news about Garrick came, which proved that he didn't respond to my messages not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't."Don't worry too much." Dominic whispered to me.I nodded, but deep inside I couldn't control the feeling of uneasiness. Fortunately, I saw Kenelm now, lying obediently beside Rory,
The water slowly rose to my waist, while I grew impatient with untying my bound hands. My wrist was sore and scratched, and a few streaks of blood had oozed out. I tried to calm myself, thinking about my family. With great difficulty, I was able to convince myself to forgive Dominic and accept to build a new family with him. I am not willing to die in this place, how can my little Kenelm live alone without a mother?I don't know how long it took, when the water level reached my chest, I was able to untie the rope from my hand. Immediately after, I took off the ropes on my body and blindfolded. Only then did I observe the room I was in. This place is like a basement at the bottom of a yacht, there are a lot of machines down here but for some reason they stop working all at once. In there is a machine that continuously sucks back seawater from the outside into the room.I don't understand how these machines work, but I'm not stupid enough to think that these machines are suddenly malfun
Thanks to Kenelm, Dominic and I made up. Rory couldn't help but be shocked when he saw us walking together to the pool."I didn't believe Esther Joan was your wife until now, Dominic. You really look like a happy family on vacation." Rory laughed and said."It's not the same, it's the truth." Dominic corrected.Anyone can tell that Dominic's mood is very good. He, along with Esther and Kenelm, freely swam and played."Dad, what kind of water is that? I want to try it." Kenelm pointed to the cocktail Dominic was holding."No. This is an alcoholic drink, children can't drink it. Wait until you turn 18, you can try it. Now, if you drink it, your mommy will be sad."Kenelm heard Dominic say his mother might be upset if he asked to drink the sparkling water, and Kenelm stopped asking.I stood on the shore and saw the father and son chatting happily, the mood also became comfortable. Gradually, the relationship between us has drawn closer together, become cohesive and strong. For one thing,
I approached the pool, quickly seeing Kenelm sitting on the float and enjoying the water. I gave him swimming lessons when I was at Goderich so I wasn't too worried about him drowning."Esther Joan, is it really you? Last time we met, I didn't recognize you, I'm really sorry."Rory Franh, smiling, approached me and talked enthusiastically. Behind him Dominic was sitting looking at the sea, his face as calm as if we hadn't had any arguments before. Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to me, I ignored him too and talked to Rory Frank.But less than a few minutes later, a hand was wrapped around my waist, slightly pulling my body closer to him."Rory Frank, it looks like it's time for dinner." Dominic said.Rory Frank has been Dominic's best friend for many years, how could he not notice the unhappy expression on Dominic's cold face."Oh right. You two and Kenelm will change and go to the restaurant, I'll ask the waiter to prepare." He smiled and left.When it's just Dominic and I, I
