Nearly two hours later, Dominic was still standing in the same place, his eyes wandering around and observing the situation. Every 15 minutes, the captain of the rescue team would report the situation to Dominic. No trace... No trace... All the words he didn't want to hear. His face was becoming more and more unsightly, and his anger was hard to hide, even in his terrifying gaze.Until now, Dominic hadn't heard what he wanted to hear. Everything related to Esther seemed to have been swept away by the sudden avalanche. He was like petrified, standing still, staring at every corner of the forest.Where are you... Esther?Dominic didn't believe in virtue or god, but right now he really wanted to pray that Esther wouldn't be in any danger. He would rather that the person lying in the thick and cold snow was him than that weak and fragile girl."Sir, we heard strange noises in this area."Almost in the blink of an eye, Dominic rushed towards the area, his steps faltering, as if he could no
It was three days later when I woke up. My mind is hazy and I can barely remember what happened. Later, Veronica recounted to me some of the things she knew, like how Garrick and Cato argued about saving me, or how scared they were from the avalanche.I lay on the bed with a white bandage on my head and listened intently. Veronica also mentioned Dominic. When it came to him, her attitude was clear with respect and admiration. She said Dominic sent 10 helicopters with the most professional rescue team here, or he himself went down the hole filled with ice to save her."I heard people say that Dominic was really cool at that time. He tried to find you, even said he heard your cry for help. Everyone has given up hope, only he has not." Veronica wrapped a bandage on one hand, holding an apple in the other hand, biting the apple while talking. "I didn't have much sympathy for him before, because I thought he was just infatuated with your beauty, not really in love with you. But now I think
After a few days of rest in the hospital, Dominic hired a helicopter to take me back to the city. Veronica teases me and says I'm like a princess pampered by Dominic. And I can't really object to that, because I myself feel the favor that Dominic has for me.I returned to Dominic's mansion and rested, while Kaylin Joan left unexpectedly. I heard she went abroad for treatment. She's also officially dropped out of Malibu Academy and won't be participating in the city competition to be selected as a contestant at the Finding Stars. This will probably be a pity, since Kaylin is an excellent ballet dancer anyway.After the avalanche, the city-level competition was also postponed for a few months so that the students at Malibu Academy had time to recover from their injuries and regain their mental stability.I feel like a lot has changed since that sudden avalanche happened. And one of the most obvious is Dominic's expression and attitude towards me. He told me to stay at his mansion for th
I'm not some naive girl who doesn't understand what the things Dominic just held out are. Her face turned red for a moment, and she looked away because she was too shy. She saw a can of liquid or something, a dildo, some vibrator with a slightly odd shape."What are we... going to do with these?" My voice trembled."You'll like them. They'll make you comfortable, but hopefully not more comfortable than making love to me." Dominic teased me."But, I've never done this before. I'm scared.""This will help you."Dominic took a white handkerchief, closed it, and gently put it over my eyes. For a moment, everything was just black. When I could no longer see, my ears became extremely hearing.I see his rough, warm hands slowly strip away my clothes until I'm naked.Then I felt a cool liquid on my skin, I guess it was the clear liquid that Dominic had just held."It's... it's so cold..." I wiggled and felt a strange change in my body.Apparently the liquid was very cold, but for some reason
According to the schedule given by Malibu Academy, members of the Royal group will gather at the airport and fly to the US to participate in the competition between major cities. After the unfortunate incident at Mount Alan, Ms. Jenny has temporarily stopped teaching and managing the Royal team. Her replacement was a young ballet teacher named Allison."Everyone, Esther Joan hasn't arrived yet. Does anyone know where she is?" Miss Allison asked."Miss, if we keep waiting for one person, we'll miss that flight. Esther is so irresponsible, let's just ignore her and go." Jade Rosaleen stood with her arms crossed and pouting.Miss Allison was quite confused, she tried to contact Esther but couldn't."Miss, let's leave on time and don't wait for Esther." Veronica took her suitcase and spoke to Miss Allison. "She took a private jet to America before us."Veronica finished speaking, smugly glancing at Jade and pleased to see her biting her lip in exasperation."She was probably on the plane
The next day, we went to the dome hall in LA. LA is a busy and vibrant city, the noisy and bustling atmosphere in this city makes people's hearts flutter."This is your breakfast. I know you didn't eat anything yesterday." Veronica gave me a hot hamburger while we were in the dressing room."Oh my gosh, thank you." I looked at Veronica gratefully.Indeed, I am very hungry, and the only one who cares about this is Veronica. She has always been a great friend."I think you should apply a thicker layer of foundation over your eyes." Veronica took a sip of her coffee and spoke to me."What happen?" I devoured the hamburger and turned to look at Veronica.She pointed at my eyes then pointed at the mirror. I turned and looked at myself in the mirror. After just one night, I woke up and loooked like a sick person. His eyes were dark and tired, and his face also lacked rosy and excitement."Did you lose sleep?""Ah... um." I made no secret of Veronica and nodded."Because of the news regardin
The symphony sounded, I chose a song with a difficult rhythm and many hidden beats. The technical ballet movements are also very well choreographed by me, they are all very difficult and require the ballet dancer to be really excellent. I know that this is a self-imposed challenge and it is somewhat unsafe for such an important competition. However, I still believe in myself to do well.Every time I listen to symphony music and relax to the ballet steps, I feel like a completely different person. I slowly closed my eyes and turned around a few times.This ballet performance celebrates the beauty of women, affirming their pride and confidence, so my movements have both feminine fluidity and clear decisiveness.After the performance, I felt quite satisfied, let out a sigh. At this time, I calmed down and listened to the judges' comments.I happened to catch Edna's gaze, who was staring at me, her eyes brooding but expressionless. Or maybe I couldn't guess her current feelings.Just like
Turns out Edna hasn't left yet. She seemed to know someone was inside, so she waited quietly. I was a little hesitant, but my face remained calm and washed my hands.When I didn't answer, Edna smiled softly, she stroked her shiny black hair and looked at me in the mirror."What's wrong, after eavesdropping, you pretend like nothing happened?""I didn't mean to be there eavesdropping. Besides, what you're saying isn't a secret.""Hmm, that's true. But it's a secret between me and Dominic."My body stiffened for a moment, but I remained calm and turned off the faucet, wiped my hands, and was about to get out of the toilet. Edna stared at me and carefully observed every expression on my face."A more deserving woman should be with an elite man like Dominic, you know that, don't you?"I stopped in front of the toilet, turning my head to look at Edna. She didn't talk sarcastically and teasingly like before, but just looked at me with nonchalant eyes. That expression of hers showed her conf
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
