In Love With You Chapter 41: Something Going On
Hmm...Since we are all eating, should we also invite Kane? I looked at them but no one seemed to remember to invite Kane. I kinda pity Kane now."We should call Kane. He is the only one missing." I reminded them.Gabrielle nodded. "Of course. He should be there.""...." So please messaged him.Gabrielle did not take my hint. I reminded her again, "You can invite Kane.""Yeah. You should call him." Gabrielle passed the matter to me."..."Everyone except Eduardo looked at me as if it was an obvious matter for me to contact Kane first.I have no choice but to take out my phone.Right, he was my partner so it was natural that I am the one who would contact him. Agh.As I was about to message him, I received an incoming call.Speaking of the devil.It was Kane."Hello?""Where are you?" Kane's magnetic and deep voice sounded. His voice sounded good and it even amplified on the phone. As if he was whispering in my ears.I shook my head to wake up from that strange state."I am in the priv
In Love With You Chapter 42: Lagging Behind
But Layla couldn't see it and denied it."Of course not. Boss and I are not like that. That's the line we will not cross and never be crossed."I glanced at Eduardo whose eyes darkened. I don't think you and Eduardo agree on that.Layla might not know but Eduardo has set his eyes on her.My fingers holding the cup tightened. If Kane did not act soon, Layla would be completely fallen into Eduardo's trap. I should think of a plan soon.Gabrielle did not buy Layla's denial. "Really? But seeing you two, I think you guys are about to cross that line. We are not fools. We could see-"Eduardo interrupted Gabrielle's new round of teasing. "Layla said it's not. So it's not." Eduardo's eyes were a bit domeenering. He changed the direction of the conversation to the interrogator, "How about the two of you? Are you guys dating?"Gabrielle was about to answer when Levi frowned, "Eduardo, don't put us into an embarrassing situation. You know I have a girlfriend."Gabrielle's face turned ugly, "Ja
In Love With You Chapter 43: Opening an Oppurtunity
In the end, the opportunity I opened up was wasted.After we left the restaurant, I dragged Kane behind."You..!" I glared at him, hating iron for not being steel.Kane looked at me confused, "What did I do?""I told you not to waste this chance! We rarely eat together and you lost the chance to show your gentleness to her!"Kane frowned. "What is serving food and gentleness do with each other? Besides, even if I wanted to give her food, she won't take it. Her plate was full and she can't finish it all."Who doesn't want someone to serve them food while the other party was thinking about their health? Girls like it when their partners cared about them. These simple gestures matters!"That kind of thinking will make you lose. Don't give up showing off easily. You can use some other ways. In that case, you can help her finish her food or something like that."Kane's frown turned deeper, "Does eating leftovers would show my gentleness? I don't really understand girls.""..." Nevermind.T
In Love With You Chapter 44: Spying on their Date
Saturday morning, Layla and Kane left the house.After they left, I waited for a few minutes before taking out my car keys. I followed them.Of course, I don't have anything going on today. Nor did I contact Gabrielle or Levi to make up a lie.If I were to involve them, those two would not allow me to be left alone. They might join me in following these guys. With other people in tow, our spying would be obvious and we might end up ruining this hard-earned date.Initially, I don't plan to follow them but this was Kane and Layla's first date. I am kinda anxious, especially with Kane's zero romantic experience. If something happens in the middle, I bet this man would just end up escorting Layla directly to home right after the task.Or what if Eduardo learned where Layla was and wanted to interrupt them? Who would stop the unnecessary people who wanted to meddle with them? This was a rare opportunity that we can't waste.Anyway, I am really worried.I would just take a peek. If the atmo
In Love With You Chapter 45: A suspicious man
A/n: This chapter is edited. *** I dropped by a milk tea store and bought some refreshing drinks. I am really feeling stuffy in my chest. Was staying in the car make me feel suffocated? Perhaps I am having acid reflux. I decided to take a short walk. I found a park that was not too crowded. I sat by the bench and looked at the other people who were having a picnic while biting my straw. There were actually couples still having picnics in parks nowadays? As I continued to watch blankly on people, I noticed a man in a black jacket and black cap looking my way. He was also wearing a black mask, everything he wore was black so he stood out. At first, I thought it was a coincidence that our eyes met. But when I saw in my peripheral vision that he was glancing in my way many times, I started to be tense. This man...why he was looking at me? He dressed suspiciously. And his actions of sneaking glances my way were starting to make me anxious. I suddenly remembered the dead rabbit t
In Love With You Chapter 46: Perfect Fit
A/n: This chapter is fixed. Thank you for waiting. **** "I have never been this embarrassed before. My tall figure, handsome face, and charisma are very evident. How could you mistake me for a stalker? People stalk me, not the other way around. You give yourself too much credit." "If not because my girlfriend threw a tantrum and dropped me off in the wrong place, I wouldn't have followed you to ask you to give me a ride." I glanced at Paul from my peripheral vision. I was currently driving and giving this talkative guy a ride. I thought again why should I be the good person here? After Paul proved his identity and that it was all a misunderstanding, the police officers left Paul to me. Since I bothered the police officers, I have to take this responsibility. Paul told me the reason why he followed me. He had an argument with his girlfriend earlier today. They have a cold war. When he just took a quick visit to the restroom, his girlfriend drove away with his car and his belongi
In Love With You Chapter 47: Paul Cruz
A/n: This is for chapter 47. *** "Just go to that parking lot." Paul instructed. I looked at the high-end bar not far from us. "You still have some mood for a drink? Shouldn't you go home?" This man has no money and phone on him. And he still wants to play outside? "It's fine. This club is owned by a friend of mine. And I also have some shares." Paul smiled. He jumped out of the car and gave me a wink. "Thank you for the ride. Let's meet again when I have my phone. So I could get your number." He then blew me a kiss which I disgustedly avoided. Paul just laughed and left. Kane's cousin...was very different from him. But both of them were weird. I was about to drive away when I saw Paul running back to my car. What now? "Open it quickly!" I saw him mouthing in panic. I quickly opened the door for him. He went in and hurriedly closed the door. He then stick his face close to the window and was watching something to the side. "Why did you come back?" What does this man want t
In Love With You Chapter 48: Why are you helping him?
Even without the ID, the guard and the host knows Paul so we were able to come in. Paul opened up one of the VIP rooms. This room was big and everything we need was there. We have our own private bar, big couches, karaoke, and board games. At the front was a huge glass wall that oversee the dance floor below. We can choose to draw the curtain to get some privacy. It was not night yet, so there were not many people on the dancefloor. Paul mentioned that the real party starts at midnight when people get wasted and the music bangs to the roof. "Do you drink?" Paul took the bartender's spot and mixed up some drinks. I watched him show his skills in bartending with interest. "I don't. But I would like to try." It was rare for me to take initiative to drink. I just want to get those complicated thoughts out of my mind. "How much can you take?" Paul skillfully opened another bottle and it made a 'plop' sound. "Just little sips." "How could you get fun with little sips? To start the p

In Love With You Chapter 148: Compensated Forever
After listening for an hour, I came to believe that Kane did really visit me in those times as he told me some of the things he was concerned with. It seemed that he bottled it all up. Kane pouted, "When I came to visit you, aside from the first few times, you don't look like you missed me. You are happy with them. Especially with that person named Hugh. You are being too close to him. Are you sure he doesn't have a crush on you? Whenever your group hang out, he was always there." "Because he is part of the group. Don't worry about Hugh, I think he has a crush on Lilac." "Your dormitory friend? But they looked like they hate each other." "Didn't we also start that way?" Kane chuckled, "Right. It only changed when you played Cupid." I could not help but smile at the memory. Wait.... I slapped Kane's arm. "You are changing the topic. I am still angry at you." Although I said that, there was no really no anger in my heart anymore. I just wanted to make it difficult for Kane for
In Love With You Chapter 147: Reunion
My consciousness started to stir as I felt someone wiping my face. The wet towel then wiped my neck, arms, and hands. Although I am already aware, my body was numb and I couldn't move. I wasn't in the mood to bother about it. The one who was wiping my hands and face was so gentle in his movements, that I slowly fell to sleep afterward.The grumbling in my stomach woke me up. But the dizziness made me groan.I felt a movement beside me. That person gently brushed the hair away from my face."Dizzy?" His gentle voice was familiar but the aching in my head made me muddle-headed to think bout it further.I muttered, "Head...hurts..."That person massaged my head and spoke in a low voice, "You should drink a hang-over medicine. Here...." That person's voice was low and magnetic. It calmed my heart immediately.With my eyes closed, the man lifted me up until I was able to sit up from the bed. The man grumbled as he helped me drink, "....Paul made me drink you again, right? That man never l
In Love With You Chapter 146: Breaking of the Golden Corp
When I disappeared that year, the Cruz family suddenly break ties with the Golden Corp. Then they began attacking the Mckenzie family. There was a huge case involved regarding the murder of Mrs. Cruz. When I first heard about it, I was shocked. According to Denise, the Mckenzie family was behind the accident which caused Mrs. Cruz and the unborn child to die. I put the pieces together and understood why Uncle Tristan used such methods to threaten us. Although it was a bit unfair that I am the one receiving the scare of his threats, I still felt bad about it. It turned out that the Mckenzie was more disgusting than I thought. I don't want to admit that I came from that family. My parents were actually the person who caused so much pain to Kane's family. After knowing the truth, my anger towards Uncle Tristan and Kane dissipated a lot. I had become more obedient as a hostage which in return, Uncle Tristan gave me a bit more freedom. He allowed me to socialize here and let me meet m
In Love With You Chapter 145: Three Years Later
Three years later.... Many friends and families of the graduates came to attend the graduation. I have become one of the elite students who graduated with flying colors. I looked around the hall looking for familiar figures. "Stella Mary, congratulations." My classmate, Hugh, with a thick Russian accent, came to congratulate me. He was one of the friends I made here at the university. "Thanks, Hugh. Did your family come?" "They will arrive later. You know how my family always comes late." I laughed at Hugh's answer. "Stella Mary! Congratulations! I know you will come out on top of your course!" One of my dorm mates, Jamie, hugged me. She put the flowers she brought into my hands. "Hey, don't huggle Stella on your own. My turn." Lilac, who came after Jamie, pushed the latter away and hugged me. Jamie and Lilac were both of my dorm mates for three years. We have become friends since then. It's been three years since I stayed at the university. I did not expect I would stay
In Love With You Chapter 144: Separation
Snow was falling. As far as my eyes can see, the whole world was covered in a white blanket. Just where the heck am I? Am I in the north pole? I was unconscious the whole time. When I woke up, I was already in this small villa where snow was constantly falling. I bet I am in another country. Because there was no way it was snowing in the middle of summer. And the mountain of snow outside the window just tells me that I am in a cold country where snow was falling for a long time now. I hugged the thick overcoat and felt saddened by the fact that I am a hostage. "Young Miss. The adviser is here." Adviser? I moved my wheelchair and went to the study room. Fortunately, these people did not mistreat me even though my status was a hostage. They provided me with everything I need like food and clothing. But I couldn't get my phone or tablet back. Any kind of communication was cut off. The only people who were allowed to talk to me were these guards. Because I know that it was Uncle Tr
In Love With You Chapter 143: Murdered
Kane's eyes were bloodshot. "It is you who said to me that I should love only one woman who moved my heart. And it is Stella. I won't love anyone but her in this life. No matter if she was once a Mckenzie, I don't care. Even if you don't accept her, I will only love her. The Mckeznie? To hell with them. I don't care what you do to them. But you have to return Stella to me." Tristan's face turned dark as well. "You can love anyone but not her. She has a blood of a Mckenzie, a red-head-" "I don't care! I love her, Dad! To me, she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life. If you can't accept that, then I won't force you. Just tell me where she is." "I can't. With her around, our fight with the Mckenzie will complicate you. You are already unstable. If she is by your side, it will affect your decision-" "I am not interested in fighting the Mckenzie. You can fight with them the way you want." "Kane...Are you saying you would rather choose that woman than our family?" Tristan
In Love With You Chapter 142: Revelation
..... "Master, I have received a call from Young Master Kane. He is on his way here." The head butler came to report to Tristan. The head butler felt uncomfortable for lying to his young master. But he couldn't disobey his Master's orders. Tristan was standing on the window looking at the bright moon above. He did not react to the head butler's report and just continue to stare at the dark sky. When the head butler thought that he would be dismissed, the man asked. "Has she arrived safely?" The head butler bowed and answered, "Yes, Master. The people there called me a few minutes ago that they have arrived at their accommodations." "How long is it until her legs will heal?" "It's about a month, Master." "Don't let her come out of that place then. Watch her closely. If she ever made contact with my son, changed the address. I don't care which country she lives." The head butler hesitated a bit. "Master...I know I am going out of line by asking this, but is it really alright
In Love With You Chapter 141: Someone High
"I don't believe it as well. So I dig deeper into this so we can prove that the Cruz empire is innocent. However...." "But what?" Kane asked in a heavy tone. "Things got more suspicious. The more I investigate the more I found their movement fit all the missing pieces in the puzzle. I think someone higher up in your company has control over all of this. " "...Send me the details." Kane was having difficulties accepting all of this. He wouldn't believe it as long as he see it with his own eyes. He could not accept that his own people would do this to the people close to him. A while later, he received an email from Eduardo. Kane printed all of them and was stunned when he read every page. If it was other people, they wouldn't be able to find out the involvement of Cruz Empire in this incident. They were meticulous enough and did not leave any traces. However, Eduardo was not an ordinary person. He has the means to dig up and his intelligence could find the minute flaws that the

They were the people who kept sending threats with fresh blood. They are the people who caused me to have an accident.Dread came to my whole being. I looked up at the thin middle-aged man with red eyes.Are they here to kill me?This was the first time I saw them in action. There was no doubt that they were here to harm me.I could not help but tear up.After battling with Mckenzie and persevering, I thought I could finally start a new life without being afraid anymore. But it looked like I could not do that anymore.I stared at the man with tears in my eyes, "Are you here to kill me then?"The thin middle-aged man just looked at me, "I want to. But if I do that, I am afraid it will drive my son insane. Like what happened to me."Huh?Son?Suddenly, the familiarity that kept nagging me found its missing piece. The deadpan face overlapped to the face of a handsome middle-aged gentleman."Uncle Tristan?" I asked in bewilderment."So you still recognize me, huh?"His words confirmed my
