Hanson frowned. After pondering for a while, he still had some doubts.Was Anna trying to make him give up on Ivanka by saying those misleading words?After all, over the years, he never...Just as the thought crossed his mind, his expression froze momentarily.He recalled a night three years ago when they were out together, and Anna got drunk.She had clung to his hand and was giggling foolishly.She kept talking to him and her gaze fixed on him.At the time, he did not think much of it. However, thinking back to her behavior that night and her actions over the years...Perhaps, if he had been more observant, he would have noticed some clues.At that moment, he suddenly did not know what to say.However, Anna herself knew that love was the most uncontrollable thing.Since he loved Ivanka, he would never be with her. Anna was well aware of that, so she tactfully never brought it up.Perhaps she had brought it up today just to talk some sense into him?Hanson lowered his ey
Anna shook her head and tried to control her emotions.“No, it’s not your fault.”Her voice choked slightly as she spoke.Today…She had finally voiced the feelings she had hidden for ten years. She never imagined that her confession would come out in such a subtle yet revealing way.Neither of them acknowledged it directly, but the current situation was already clear.Anna took a shallow breath. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have acted like this.”Hanson quickly shook his head. “No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have caused you any negative emotions today.”Anna shook her head and sighed softly. “It’s not your fault. It’s just that sometimes, love is uncontrollable. I know you like Iv, but I couldn’t control my feelings. I didn’t mean for it to happen.”This time, Anna was more straightforward. She had not explicitly said it earlier because she felt embarrassed.But since he already knew it, there was no point hiding it anymore.Although she felt like something was missing by confes
Hanson did not know what to say.He was tongue-tied.Anna tried to smile, but it looked more like a bitter smile.“I should go. I shouldn’t bother you any longer.” As Anna said that, she walked toward the door.Hanson’s expression changed slightly. “Ann.”Anna halted, but she did not turn around.Hanson stared at her slender back and said, “I’m sorry.”For all these years, he had been clueless, yet he still inadvertently hurt her. They had been close friends since childhood. He never expected it to end up like this.Now…Perhaps the one leading the most carefree life would be Sandy.Hanson lowered his gaze. His eyes were filled with envy.Anna just smiled. Her voice tinged with bitterness as she said, “If it weren’t for the current situation, I wouldn’t have told you anything. You don’t need to feel any psychological burden towards me. Hanson, I’m fine. What you really need to think about is your relationship with Iv. Don’t put her in a difficult position, and most important
A while ago, many women had tried to approach Elio.His aloofness had forced them to back down. He even yelled at some of them.When Ivanka appeared, Elio surprised everyone by letting her sit opposite him. They even chatted amicably. Seeing that, many women could not hold back their jealousy.Ever since, those who fancied Elio could only visit the pub and watch him from afar.But who would have thought that Ivanka was so close with him? They were hanging out with each other again!Many women were incredibly jealous!Upon seeing them together, one of the women commented on the situation, and another immediately seconded her.“Isn’t that Ivanka? They’re definitely involved with each other!”The third woman, who was blond, took out a cigarette and lit it. After breathing out a puff of smoke, she said flatly, “Look at you. You’re embarrassing. Don’t you know what Elio is like? That woman has cheated on him so many times, with one man after another. Be patient. Perhaps, one day, it
Ivanka remained on the couch.If someone else had heard what Elio had said, they would have left already.But Ivanka would not.She was not in a hurry to say anything. All she did was gaze at the man before her.HerElio, on the other hand, was running out of patience. “If there’s nothing else you want to ask of me, you may leave now.”Ivanka did not move still. Instead she said calmly, “My father didn’t want you to tell me. He didn’t want me to seek revenge and wished that I would spend the rest of my day in peace and happiness.”Elio said nothing and furrowed his brows slightly.Ivanka’s lips curled into a faint smile. “I have known that my father’s death definitely had something to do with Theodore and his family. Of course I’m going to take revenge on them.”“This is none of my business.” Elio did not even spare her a glance. He had already gotten up impatiently.Ivanka immediately stood up to stop him and said with a calm expression. “Pardon me for being blunt. And I’m sor
After leaving the pub, Ivanka was not in a hurry to head home.As she felt the breeze caressing her cheeks, she suddenly was not in the mood to drive.She recalled the memories she shared with her father before his death, and the look in her eyes became increasingly dazed.Hence, she started wandering around the places near the underground parking lot.Vehicles filled the roads, and the lights were dazzling. Occasionally, she could hear noises from some clubs. Music was playing on the streets.But the music they played did not capture her interest like the one they played a while ago.She did not like the song, so she walked toward an alley.There was no one else in the alleyway, and it was a little dark. After walking further into the alley for a while, the street lights could no longer reach this place. It was pitch black, and the only source of light was the moon. Ivanka relied on it to watch her steps.Besides, such a quiet spot was rare in the hustle and bustle of the city
The other men could not help but start to laugh as well. “Boss, where do we go then? Do we do it right in this alley? But the view is bad here, and the lighting is awful. We can’t see anything. We can’t use flashlights all the time either.”“Yeah, even though it’s kind of exciting to do it here, the lighting sucks. Also, we’re in the middle of the city. What if she screams too loudly and draws other people over?”They were all very excited, mostly because Ivanka was a legend. Not only was she pretty and curvaceous, but she also used to be Michael’s wife. Moreover, she was full of mystery, which intrigued and enticed them.They had always been interested in Ivanka, but they had not planned to act on their fantasies before.But things were different at the moment.The person who hired these men paid them handsomely and promised to keep them out of trouble. They even got to have their way with Ivanka. Of course, they would say yes!Besides, some powerful people got their back.They
“Ahhhhhhhhh!” The gangster was still screaming.Everyone was bamboozled by Ivanka’s actions. She was so strong!“Damn, this broad is fighting back! Beat her up!”Someone had already charged at her.But Ivanka did not bother with them. Instead, she charged at the two gangsters who were helping their leader to his feet. She lifted a foot and kicked one of them on the waist.With a yelp of pain, the gangster toppled over.Then, Ivanka rushed toward another gangster, whose face was filled with panic. He wanted to escape and was ready to let go of his leader.However, Ivanka was much faster than him. She kicked him on the waist as well and knocked him to the ground.“Ahhhhhh!”One after another, both gangsters cried out in agony.As they both collapsed, the others tried to help their leader up, but Ivanka was agile. She had stunned them and kept them from coming closer. All they could do was watch their leader fall to the ground.“Boss!”The leader of the gang was already losi
