When I glanced down at the ground and saw Lily lying motionless on the ground, I gulped in fear and asked quietly. "Who are you? What have you done, my friend?""I? Of course, the only one to escape is also the one to finish you off. As for her, you don't have to worry, it's just less annoying, so I made her pass out." He replied mockingly, seemingly without fear. "Or you call your husband to save you; at least I pity you and let you die a little easy."His voice was low enough to hear; the people around hurriedly left, so no one noticed my unusual expression or saw the small knife under my waist.'Damn it!' What must I do to save myself?No one looks this way."Go to the gate; help me escape." The man's hoarse voice resounded.I frowned, pretending to submit, but I purposely kicked a stone and hit a stranger when I passed a passerby. The strange man was very annoyed and turned around to scold me, but when he saw my pleading eyes, he stopped his action, looked down at my waist, and qu
I was thrown into the car by Elias, who went around the driver's seat and then fastened his seat belt. The car quickly sped towards the mansion. During that time, we all kept quiet; the atmosphere was extremely stuffy.The moment the car stopped, I felt like I was liberated; I opened the door myself and got out. The pain in my ankle was so intense that I couldn't help but wince, but in order not to let Elias see, I gritted my teeth and endured without a word. I quickly walked forward without turning back again, but I knew that bastard Elias was following behind me.After soaking in the hot tub, I felt a little better mentally, but when it came to going out and meeting Elias, I got upset, so I stayed in the tub.Seeing that I would never go out, Elias impatiently pounded on the door. "Stella, you come out! Don't provoke my limits."I didn't respond, burying my face in the warm water, but Elias' cold voice still rang in my ears. "I count to three, and if you don't come out, I'll break t
Elias's POV:I stood on the rooftop looking at the dark sky, looking a little further away would be the place where the incident had just happened. After pondering for a while, I sighed, then reached into my pocket to take out a pack of cigarettes, wanting to smoke a little to make my mood more comfortable. But after thinking for a while, I sadly threw it aside. I absentmindedly remember Stella's teary eyes when she looked at me.Perhaps she was very disappointed by my indifference. But I also don't want to explain to her; I'm afraid our relationship is going too far, making me uncomfortable. I always told myself to stay away from this woman for a bit, to be more ruthless with her, but since the time I was at home because of my injury, day and night contact in my heart has raised countless emotions strange touch.Like today, even though I don't want to, I have to admit that there were times when I was scared. I didn't even have time to treat my wound and rushed out after hearing Marcu
Serena's POV:I don't know when I became so lazy; I slept until noon without bothering to get up until the sun reached the top of my head to get out of bed. My ankle is swollen more than last night; I can't walk; I can only hop into the toilet.Standing in front of the mirror, I stared blankly at my worn-out face. Last night I always felt that Elias was next to me, but when I woke up, I was disappointed to see the cold empty bed beside me; maybe everything was just my imagination. I sighed, washed my face then applied some lotion.What surprised me was that as soon as I stepped out the door, I came from nowhere to a snow-white cat with blue eyes filled with innocence. The cat rubbing against my leg makes my heart soften. I picked it up and stroked its head.But why is there a cat in the room? The window didn't open all night; inexplicably, it was from the neighbor's house."What's your name, huh?" I loved to hold the cat tightly in my arms; if it were a feral cat, I would love to have
The atmosphere in the room was so dark that I found an excuse to go out to avoid Elias, but I didn't know he was still following me to the kitchen. I was drinking water to relieve the heat in my heart when Elias came over.Seeing him almost choked on water, fortunately, I could hold it back.I squinted at him. "You startle me. Can you make some noise?"Elias was confused; the first time I saw this expression of his, I found it very interesting and couldn't help but tease a sentence. "Are you shy?""No, don't talk nonsense." Elias frowned, pushed me aside, opened the cabinet, took a bottle of mineral water, and drank it.My mood is a little better; I smile softly. Just as he was about to go to the bedroom, he heard Elias' voice echoing back. "Do you want to have dinner?""But the maid has gone home; I'm fatigued today; I don't want to cook," I said; the truth is that what I don't want is to eat with Elias; I'm sure it will be a bizarre and awkward atmosphere.I thought that when I said
Since that day Elias did not return home, I also returned to my old life. Just like when the first day came, I would wake up in the morning to feed Pain; then I would play with Sweet until evening and then go to sleep again.I folded a piece of meat and placed it in the glass tank, but Pain remained motionless. It seems unwell these days, usually seeing the food has opened its mouth wide, but today it was just lazily lying in the glass tank and not moving.I stood watching for a while, feeling unwell. I don't want to contact Elias, but I'm afraid Pain will die, wondering for a while. I still call him; life is still the most important.The heavy bell rang, but it was cold; after a long time, no one answered the phone. I don't know why, but I have had a bad feeling since morning. I have always felt uncomfortable.After a while, no one answered, and the phone automatically disconnected.I was still unsure, so I stood there for a while; more than ten minutes later, Elias called back. I ne
But Asher still kept her cold face, even with a bit of sarcasm. "I don't know, since when did you become fond of snakes? Were you not afraid of it before? Did you change your fear of Elias? Do you love him that much?" Stop for a moment, and Asher is more ruthless; he really wants to kill Pain. "Four years of love is not equal to a few months…""What did you just say?" A cold voice at the door made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle.Both Asher and I stared blankly at the man with the aura of death outside. His cold air seemed to freeze my movements, my dry lips barely opening and closing.I didn't expect Elias to return home at this time, at the most chaotic time.'How am I supposed to explain it to him now? Did Elias hear what Asher just said?' I trembled like an unfaithful wife caught by her husband in battle.Asher's condition was worse than mine, his face as white as a corpse. His hand was shaking so violently that he couldn't hold Pain. After escaping death, Pain rushed tow
Elias's POV:I bet I've gone crazy to pay attention to Stella time and time again. In the past few days, there was not a single moment when I forgot her silhouette. I feel very uncomfortable not being able to see her and today, when she called me, no one knew how I felt inside.The moment I heard her sweet voice, I almost had a crazy thought. I want to do anything to keep her by my side, regardless of her background or everything. However, reality is always more bloody than fantasy. I put everything aside, returned home, and unexpectedly caught sight of her flirting with another man.I ran my hand through my short hair, shaking with anger. I put all my strength into punching the car window, and the sound of shattering repeated immediately reverberated with shrillness. I narrowed my eyes, this time different from the others. Usually, when I'm angry, it's okay to let it out, but right now, I still feel incredibly uncomfortable, like thousands of ants crawling inside, biting every piece
