While I was lost in thought, my father's loud voice rang out."Everyone, please pay attention. As you all know, Joan's family party today is to welcome the return of my daughter, Kaylin Joan. It's been a tough time for Kaylin, but my daughter bravely made it through. I hope everyone can see her with loving and appreciative eyes."After my father finished speaking, the light shone on a girl who was slowly walking out. Kaylin is not in a wheelchair or on crutches, she walks on two legs as if there had never been an accident.Everyone saw this scene and burst out because it was too hard to believe."I heard a rumor that she had to have her leg amputated because her leg was so badly injured that it became necrotic? How come she can walk normally now? Could the rumors be false?""I feel like Kaylin has changed a lot, it's not her appearance but her personality. This is the first time I see her wearing such a delicate chiffon dress. Before, every time I see Kaylin, I see her in designer clo
Because Dominic was quite drunk, he was invited by my father to rest at Joan's mansion. However, Dominic's room is the largest room in this mansion, it has been cleaned and changed with new sheets. As for me, I went back to my room, the room that used to be a storage room.Although Joan's relatives and relatives all know that I am Dominic's fiancée, it is not customary for nobles to openly sleep in the same room with him before marriage.After taking a shower, I was about to go to bed when I saw a text message sent to me. Unexpectedly, it was a message from Kaylin. She has never texted or called me before, so receiving a text from her in the middle of the night like this makes me confused and curious."Go to Dominic's room."For some reason, a strange feeling arose in my heart. Kaylin and Baldric were together and they made it public. But I still can't forget the fact that Kaylin once had a crush on Dominic and always found a way to get close to him. If it weren't for Dominic being so
Since being threatened by Dominic, Kaylin no longer dares to take risks but comes to me and him to cause trouble. Without Kaylin's provocation, my life at Joan's mansion was much less tiring and stressful. Even so, I still could not be as comfortable as I was with Dominic, because in Joan's family I had no status, even the maids rarely respected me. They considered me less than a guest staying at Joan's mansion. At dinner, no one will mention me. Every day I can only walk or take the bus to Malibu Academy, but there is no shuttle like the other ladies and young masters of the Joan family. Later, Dominic learned of this and sent a private driver to pick me up whenever I wanted. Baldric often comes here to visit Kaylin. Every time I met him in the lobby, I would find another way to go, avoiding having to face him. However, this time I can not avoid a bad luck. One day when I came back from Malibu Academy, just as I was about to enter my room, I saw him standing in the hallway. This c
Kaylin Joan's return not only received a warm welcome from her family but also received the love of many others. Back in the day, when Kaylin was still the top dancer at Malibu Academy, there were many loyal fans of her. Now, the number of people who love her has increased dramatically since her return.The reason is because now she is not only a ballet dancer but also a celebrity who inspires and motivates many people. Kaylin is like becoming a symbol of courage and courage that everyone admires and loves.Now, whenever Kaylin goes out, she is accompanied by a bodyguard to escort her. She regularly participates in press conferences, charity programs for the disabled and becomes the spokesperson for many famous brands.Kaylin has completely changed her style, imitating the graceful and meek lady, she also chooses elegant clothes. Whenever standing in a crowded place, she always shows a fragile and weak appearance, speaks softly and cares for others. It was only when I got home that I
True to its reputation as the largest ballet competition in the world, Finding Stars has attracted many celebrities to watch. Actors, models, billionaires... in general, many people have to spend a lot of money to be able to sit in the largest theater in Milan to admire the most quintessential and refined performances.However, I did not expect that among the guests attending there was the presence of Kaylin. She did not need to buy a ticket but was invited here to participate as the official spokesperson for this contest. And the one who invited her here was Edna Mohini.Now I understand why Kaylin put on such a nonchalant face and smiled. Turns out she was invited to the Finding Stars contest. Moreover, she deliberately arrived a little late to be the last one to walk on the red carpet, taking all the attention on her.She also really knows how to make people notice her when she chose a red dress with a bold cut and a long fishtail skirt to hide her fake leg. At a glance, people wou
When I stepped onto the stage, everyone in the theater clapped and cheered. Every time I step on the stage and feel the light shining on me, I have different moods. Feelings of joy, anxiety, trembling, nervousness... All these emotions make me love this ballet more. Even though my toes are calloused and have been injured many times, it does not discourage me."The Ballet of Remembrance by the ballerina Esther Joan."I perform my ballet with the most focused mind ever, my mind relaxes and listens to the melodious melody. If anyone is familiar with classical ballet, it is impossible not to know about my performance. I'm recreating the performance that made my mother's name, Rowan Amber: Duck in the Moonlight.'The Duck in the Moonlight' is a ballet performance created by my mother herself, everything is a perfect combination of art and reality, leading the viewer to a ballet work. Captivating to every detail. This story is about a duck who always thought she was ugly, so on the night of
I was on stage waiting for the results, but I wasn't nervous at all. What I want to do the most is to help my mother be remembered by everyone. Other things don't really matter that much to me either.The one who announced the results was Ms. Silia."Here, I would like to announce that the person who got the perfect score in the Finding Stars contest and officially became a member of the Angels team... That's Esther Joan."This is not a difficult result to predict. Everyone was not surprised at all, they shouted my name and never stopped cheering. Silia put the medal around my neck, then gently hugged me and nodded.I walked up to the podium alone, bowing to everyone in lieu of a ballerina's ritual chosen for the Angels.For a moment, when I raised my head, I saw Dominic's eyes following me. But strangely enough, that look was not of joy or pride, but of extreme panic. I've never seen him so terrified, what exactly made him like that?Before I could explain the doubt in my heart, I fe
After being hospitalized for about half a month, I was brought home by Dominic instead of Joan's mansion."Why don't we go back to Joan's mansion?""You wouldn't want to see that person every day, would you?"I heard Dominic say that and lowered my head. Although the police did not reveal the identity of the person who cut the chandelier, Dominic figured it out a long time ago. That's Kaylin. My father almost had to get on his knees begging Dominic, along with Aunt Juliet constantly persuading Dominic to temporarily forgive them. After all, they are my relatives, so he wanted to let me make my own decisions."So, do you want to forgive Kaylin or punish her?" Dominic took my hand and led me into the room. "You know, if you just want to, I can make her stay in prison forever.""I..."I hesitated, then sighed."I think I need to meet her and have a clear talk. At least once. If there's a need to punish her, I should be the one to do it."Dominic seemed to understand that I wanted to deal
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
