Terry got closer to the bed, suddenly leaning forward and propping himself against her with his hands at her sides. "Lisa, I've never treated you as someone who would come and go as I feel like it," Terry said, his face dangerously close to Lisa's. Terry had never taken Lisa lightly. She had always been the love of his life!Lisa stared blankly at Terry as he gave her a level stare, his gaze burning with love. Lisa almost fell for his captivating eyes again. His deep and beautiful eyes enchanted her for a moment. Realizing what had just happened, Lisa tried to back away in embarrassment, but she was already leaning against the bed head with no room to retreat. Terry inched closer, putting his face close to her. "Lisa, do you know how much I've missed you?" he rasped, his low and husky voice seducing Lisa's mind.Lisa turned away, refusing to meet Terry's eyes. Afraid of losing control and falling for this man again, she could not look at him at such a close distance.Terry s
Terry's face paled in an instant. Lisa's clear voice had always been his favorite tone. He always dreamed of listening to her voice again, but the voice he yearned for spoke the cruelest words to him."You really… Don't love me anymore?" Terry almost strained his voice as he forced the words to come out of his mouth. "I don't love you anymore. If I did, I wouldn't have gone on a blind date and started dating again," Lisa said."When we were dating, I loved you with all my heart. But we broke up. I want a clean breakup, not dragging things out!""Clean breakup?" Terry laughed bitterly. Lisa wanted a clean break, but she had no idea what had happened five years ago. What Monica had done, and what he had sacrificed for her. "What's wrong with that?" Lisa questioned."You don't love me anymore. Do you love Gale?" Terry asked, but he answered himself before she could even answer. "No, you don't love him. If you loved him, you wouldn't have reacted like how you did the last time I ki
"Then what do you want? How can we end things? Do you want me to sleep with you? Or do you want me to be in a fake relationship with you again?" Lisa asked, mocking Terry."You can have all the women you want. Why must you act like you can't live without me? Besides, I'm not the only one for you. If you can't live without me, the breakup wouldn't have happened.""What am I to you?" Terry asked, staring at her eyes.Lisa met his gaze. "A man I loved once, but I'll never love someone like you again. I was hurt once, and I don't want to have my heart broken again. You're very career-oriented. You desire wealth and power, but all I want is just a peaceful and ordinary life with my future husband and children."Lisa and Terry were from two different worlds. They had completely different upbringings and were never meant to be together.Terry rose slowly, backing away from Lisa step by step. The moonlight shone on him through the window, lighting half of his face."You're right. I can h
Terry missed Lisa so much. She was the woman he desired the most, but she never realized he could not live without her and thought he could have any woman he wanted! Lisa was the only woman he loved. Terry had given all his feelings to her. How could he be with another woman?!Five years ago, Terry's decision to leave her behind was motivated solely by practicality rather than the future.Treading on thin ice, Terry had never thought of his future. He never knew if he had one and could not even secretly give her a promise. Terry's future had been uncertain. He never knew if he could regain the White family and crush the Hart family.For the past five years, Terry had secretly hired someone to pay attention to what Lisa was doing and stayed updated about her life. He did not dare to meet her and had to hold back from wanting to see her.Terry finally had all he wanted, but her heart was no longer with him! Thinking of this, Terry laughed at his own misery, his lips curling into a
Terry's face contorted with pain and struggle, jealousy consuming his mind as he thought of Lisa's future with Gale.Gale left Lisa's place with a big sigh of relief. He was glad to know Lisa had returned home safely upon contacting her earlier in the day, so he had hurried over to meet her. The storm was over, and Lisa could finally return to a normal life.A smile flashed across his face as he thought about what Lisa had privately told him earlier. "Gale, well… If you don't think it's a good idea for us to stay in touch, just let me know. It's okay." Gales thought Lisa was sometimes too honest for her own good. Lisa was already in her early thirties, but she was still as naive and innocent as a child. Maybe that was why he wanted to keep in touch with her after the blind date."Let's stay in touch, then. You're a victim of this scandal too.""So you believe me? That I didn't do anything with Terry in the hotel.""I do," Gale answered her. Yeah, he believed in her. Lisa would h
Gale never imagined that Terry would get jealous because of him."Mr. White, do you still have feelings for Lisa? If you do, you shouldn't be asking me this. You should talk to Lisa," Gale reminded him."Even if I want to be with Lisa, it'll only work out if she chooses me. Likewise, even if you still love her, you can't be with her unless she chooses you. The choice is hers.""I'm asking you if you're going to stay with her," Terry said, pursing his lips tightly.Gale sighed, knowing he could not leave until he gave Terry an answer. "Lisa is a good woman. If our feelings are mutual, I'd want to be with her, naturally.""Are you worthy of her? Do you love her enough to give up everything for her? Otherwise, don't even dream about it!" Terry warned."What? What if I don't love her enough to give up everything for her? Will you stop me from dating her?" Gale questioned.Terry said nothing, but the cold look on his face was already an answer."Can you give up everything for her? I
All of a sudden, Lisa's colleagues all sided with her, trying to flatter her. Some even began asking Lisa about her relationship with Terry."Hey, Lisa. Is Terry trying to get you back?""He was so handsome when he took you away from the press. He was like a prince who saved the princess!""Will Lisa soon become the CEO's wife?"Lisa knew the reason her colleagues had changed their attitudes toward her. It was all because of Terry. People could be very realistic. She had experienced so much prejudice and discrimination in the past five years that she no longer cared."I'm no longer related to Mr. White. Please don't speculate anything more. I'm dating someone else, and your comments will cause me trouble," Lisa stated, her voice cold.Her colleagues looked at each other, embarrassed at what Lisa had said. The crowd dispersed not long after, and Lisa finally regained some peace.Terry had not shown up when she went home yesterday. Terry's men had told her, "Mr. White says the mat
Just as Serenity was about to enter the building, something suddenly fell from above."Look out!" A cry of surprise rang from behind. Then, strong arms dragged Serenity to the side, knocking her to the ground. She felt a pair of hands shielding her as she fell to the ground."Madam! Madam!" Rapid footsteps followed as she heard the bodyguard and driver shouting frantically, bringing her back to her senses. "I'm fine," Serenity said, standing up in pain with the bodyguard's help. Then, she turned to the man who had just saved her. The man got up, dusting sand from his clothes."Are you alright, sir? Thank you for—" Serenity wanted to thank him for his help, but she paused midsentence, stunned as she saw the man look up. She recognized that man! Zeke Shaw! What was he doing here?Zeke was her ex-boyfriend and Jenny Hall's fiance, and he had been very popular among the Solaria elite class! Serenity did not expect to meet Zeke again, and he seemed completely different from what he wa
