Perfect. The car Sunny was driving suddenly broke down and the sky suddenly rained, thunder could even be heard crashing against each other, on the day Ailee was confirmed pregnant. It really was the most perfect day to ruin her life.
"I called for a towing service, but none of the online taxis would take my order," Sunny said as he looked at Ailee who was silent and pale.
Sunny couldn't help but feel sorry for Ailee, who would have thought that the man she knew so well on television was the man who had impregnated her friend?
"Didn't you use contraceptives when you did it?" Sunny asked suddenly.
But Ailee's gaze, which was like a sword ready to be drawn, made Sunny reflexively shake her head. "Okay, I'm not going to talk about it anymore," Sunny said as she refocused on her phone.
Sunny searched for an online taxi service again, but no one wanted to take her order.
At that moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, causing both Ailee and Sunny
Ailee stared at the water droplets falling through the trees through the window of Aaron's villa. Yes, Aaron had brought Ailee to the villa he used to meet her father, the one on the border of the forest. There was no one else there, not even the officer sent regularly to take care of the place."Hot chocolate?"Aaron's heavy voice made Ailee turn her head. Visibly, Aaron came while carrying two cups of hot drink, Ailee could even see the smoke rising from the cups. The man had also changed clothes just like her. Yes, upon arrival, Aaron immediately asked Ailee to change her clothes into Aaron's oversize sweater, while the man was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt that made his body proportions clearly visible, very manly and charming."Why did you bring me here?" asked Ailee with a wary attitude, even though after all, the man who brought her was the same man who had raped her.Instead of answering immediately, Aaron sat down and placed the cup in hi
For your information, Aaron's patience was as thin as a tissue. Dealing with Ailee's insolence without getting emotional was a miracle for him. However, if the tissue continued to be exposed to water, it was not impossible that it would tear as well.I don't know when Aaron stood up from his seat and confined Ailee between the sofa and Aaron's arms. Ailee immediately froze, Aaron's sharp gaze felt sharp, no different from the last time they met."Then, just kill me if you can do it," Aaron said coldly, his breath even hitting Ailee's face who was really surprised by Aaron's sudden action.The dominance Aaron had was no joke, there were always times when the atmosphere around Ailee felt suffocating if she was alone with this pale man, one of them was now.Ailee who was still stunned could feel Aaron's warm forefinger rolling from her forehead, towards her nose, then finally on her lips."What did you do to your lips?" asked Aaron with both eyes fixe
"As I told you. People who wish for my death or people who want to see my downfall are not just you. That bitch is one of the people who was ordered to frame me," Aaron replied without hesitation, he said while cutting his roast beef calmly."Then I'm a victim of mistaken identity," Ailee said in a low voice, instantly feeling sorry for herself. "How similar am I to that woman for you to be mistaken?" asked Ailee finally.Aaron stopped his movements, there was no way he could admit that he didn't have time to see the bitch's face, or say it was because Ailee was wearing the same clothes as the bitch, whichever answer option was available, all of those answers still pointed to Aaron's fault, the man didn't want to open his mistakes any further."I'm sorry ...."Not only Ailee, but Edric, who happened to arrive at the villa and was now standing in the doorway of the dining room, immediately froze in place.In Edric's entire life, this was the first t
"You're annoying!"Ailee winced when she heard Sunny's voice. That girl must have been really annoyed with her to call her Zoe, aka her stage name."Why?" Ailee, who was just about to enter the elevator to reach her flat, immediately fell silent, her head trying to read the situation."I said I'd catch up with you at the orphanage, why are you forbidding me? I know I just got hired at another agency, but that doesn't keep me very busy, I can still pick you up," Sunny complained."Huh?" Ailee was confused now, her fault for not reading the chat on her phone in detail.Sunny was just about to speak up, but Ailee opened her mouth first, "You got hired at another agency?"Sunny nodded. "I told you in the chat, it's very strange, that agency never accepted applications from just anyone before. Before Gloss Entertainment, I tried to apply there but they never contacted me at all.""What agency is that?" asked Ailee finally."Mint Ent
A few days after Ailee returned to her flat, news of the wedding plans of Aaron, the owner of Ardolph Group, and Tifanny Rhianna, an Interior Designer who was at the peak of her career, continued to be reported everywhere.Television, social media, even foreign media did not fail to cover the news. Aaron received congratulations from everywhere. However, the man was not the type of person who would be moved by such congratulations. For Aaron over the past few days, everyone has been so noisy."I can't keep track of her whereabouts." Edric's voice delivering the report on Aaron's orders, made Aaron who was sitting at his desk, look up."It's not like you, it's not that hard to find that girl with all your skills," Aaron said, clearly dissatisfied with Edric's work."I'm sorry, but... Miss Zoe is like being swallowed by the earth, I can't find her," said Edric with a calm face, he didn't mind if Aaron would scold him because he had used all his strength to
Ailee tried to think positively, even though there was no one living in the area, no cell phones, no internet, but Ailee could live quietly there.Just like today. As the media covered Aaron and Tifanny's lavish wedding, Ailee didn't bother to look. Let alone seeing it, not even hearing the rumors. Ailee was really only focused on her pregnancy.While Aaron and Tifanny had their wedding, Ailee focused on her new activity, which was gardening in the yard of her new house.Time went by quickly. While Aaron and Tifanny were living in their new home, Ailee was focused on practicing yoga to ease her labor.While Aaron was busy with his work, Ailee was also busy doing her routine. It kept repeating until Ailee's belly grew bigger. This will already be the 9th month of Ailee's pregnancy."How are you?"Ailee, who was harvesting tomatoes, turned to the source of the voice. Mrs. Liana was standing not far from Ailee's place with a friendly smile.
Ailee was seen lying weakly on a simple wooden cot, her face pale but full of happiness. Beside her, three newborn twins wrapped in a thin cloth, still red and small, cried weakly in their mother's lap. The simple wooden house by the lake was quiet, accompanied only by the sound of gurgling water and the gentle breeze blowing in from the open windows.That's right, Ailee had just gone through a grueling labor, without the aid of modern medical equipment, assisted only by a middle-aged woman who was none other than the experienced and gentle Mrs. Lyana. Mrs. Lyana looked calm, sitting beside the cot while cleaning her hands and watching the three newborns with great care. Sweat was still pouring down her forehead, the result of her hard labor."They're small and beautiful, you've worked hard," Mrs. Lyana said as she looked at Ailee who was still faithfully gazing at her babies.Ailee smiled weakly, the peaceful faces of her three children making her forget the pain she felt just moment
That afternoon, the sun began to lean to the west, its rays shining on the glass surface of the magnificent new building, creating a sparkle that bounced all around. It stood tall amidst the bustling city, a symbol of the success that Aaron Alison Louvin and his company, Ardolph Corp, had just realized. However, amidst the cameras and the crowd of journalists gathered to cover the inauguration, Aaron felt as if he was trapped in a void.Yes, it's been 5 years and he has yet to find Ailee. Crazy! Aaron admitted that he was crazy. The image of Ailee's face never left his mind, even getting clearer every day. Aaron doesn't understand, he's never been like this especially just because of a woman. But, Edric's words made him realize; 'as a werewolf we should realize one thing, namely the presence of a mate, even though it has been considered a myth by the werewolf nation itself, but I believe it is real, maybe Ailee is the mate destined by the Moon Goddess for you.'Aaron did not deny that
When dawn still covered Ailee's small house, Lucille woke up earlier than usual. The sound of the wind blowing outside made her windows rattle softly. However, her little heart filled with curiosity and the desire to return to school was much noisier than the morning breeze. She decided to act. Lucille reached for a small bag in the corner of her room and started to put in her books and school supplies that she had used a few days earlier.As she was sneaking out of her room, she was stopped in her tracks by a small voice calling out to her, "Lucille, where are you going so early in the morning?" Lowly stood at the door, looking at her with a puzzled face. Lucille was surprised of course, she was glad Lowly had started talking to her again, but the timing wasn't right, Lucille was already biting her lip, trying to find an excuse."I'm going to the orphanage, Lowly. I want to go to school again. We don't know when Mother will let us go back," she whispered.Lowly, who had always been m
Three days had passed since Ailee decided not to allow her children to return to school at the orphanage. Lucille, who was full of excitement after her first experience at school, couldn't help but feel disappointed. Every morning, she asked with a hopeful face, "Mommy, when are we going back to school? I want to see my friends."Ailee always replied with the same excuse, "School is on vacation, dear. When it opens again, I'll let you know."However, that answer began to lose its power. The innocent, but intelligent, Lucille sensed that something was wrong. While Loudy and Lowly were busy with their activities at home, Lucille kept thinking about the real reason. She felt there was something her mother was hiding, and it made her uneasy.Meanwhile, Loudy noticed a change in her mother's demeanor. She wasn't stupid; she knew there was something that made Ailee more protective than usual. She often saw her mother pensive while staring at the CCTV monitor or holding the phone with a worr
That morning, the sunlight streaming through the curtains was not enough to chase away Ailee's restless thoughts. The sound of Lucille's laughter and the twins' cheerful chatter could be heard coming from the dining room, but Ailee found it hard to join in. The image of the conversation with Madame Lyana a few days ago kept looming over her mind. Aaron, the person she had tried to avoid for the past five years, suddenly appeared so close to her children.While preparing breakfast, Ailee tried to focus on the routine. She cut fruits for her children, but her hands trembled every time she thought about the possibility of Aaron realizing this big secret. "What if he gets suspicious? What if he discovers something?" the questions kept swirling in her mind.When everything was ready, she called the children to the dining table. "Come on, breakfast is ready. After that we'll continue studying in the reading room."Lucille rushed over to her mother with the little doll she had just sewn hers
Lucille, Lowly, and Loudy immediately looked at their mother with great interest."I know you want to go to school," Ailee began carefully. "But you should also know that school means you'll be leaving this house every day. The world out there... isn't always as safe as it is here.""What do you mean?" asked Loudy, confused.Ailee tried to organize her words. "There are many things I want to protect you from. The world outside is not always kind to children like you.""We're not kids anymore, Mom," Loudy interrupted. "We can take care of ourselves. I can look after Lucille and Lowly."Lucille nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, Mom. I'll be careful too."Ailee shook her head softly, her eyes beginning to tear up. "That's not the case, dear. It's bigger than you think."However, before Ailee could explain further, Lowly suddenly spoke, his voice low but clear, "We have to know, Mom. What really happened to us?"Those words left Ailee speechless. For the first time, she realized that her chi
That morning, Ailee picked up her three children from the orphanage. Lucille, who was usually the most cheerful, seemed more excited than usual. She kept talking about her friends at the orphanage, while Loudy only nodded occasionally and glanced at Lowly who was still silent as usual.Lowly sat next to the car window, his gaze glued to the trees running backwards outside. However, there was a flash of tension in his eyes. Loudy, sitting in the center, stole a glance at her smaller brother."What's wrong, Lowly?" Loudy whispered softly, making sure Lucille didn't hear.Lowly just shook her head softly, but her face couldn't hide the anxiety she had been harboring. Loudy didn't push, knowing they would have a chance to talk about everything later at home.***Once they got home, Ailee directed the children to the kitchen. "Have breakfast before you start studying. I've made your favorite pancakes," she said, trying to sound cheerful.Lucille ran straight to the dining table, her eyes s
"Who is he?" asked Lucille, tilting her head."I don't know, but he seems like an important person," Loudy replied as she watched the man who was none other than Aaron closely.Lowly who was sitting behind them suddenly felt uneasy. There was something about that man that made him feel uncomfortable, though he didn't know what.Meanwhile, Aaron stepped into the living room, his eyes scanning every corner of the room carefully. The room was simple yet clean, with several paintings of children decorating the walls."This orphanage looks well maintained," Aaron commented, sitting down in the chair that had been prepared for him. Although the last time he came it was still the same, but he felt something was different, whatever it was."Thank you, Mr. Louvin. We're trying our best to provide for the children here," Mrs. Lyana replied, trying to sound casual even though she felt oppressed by Aaron's cold aura.Aaron nodded, then his gaze shifted to the window overlooking the courtyard. He
"I'll protect you, Lucille. No matter what happens," Lowly whispered softly, barely audible.But apparently, someone was listening."What do you mean?" A low, husky voice came from the other side of the bed.Lowly was startled, his body stiffened instantly. He turned his head and found Loudy sitting on his bed, his eyes looking at Lowly sharply. His older brother's face looked serious, more serious than usual."Loudy... I..." Lowly stammered, not knowing what to say."What did you say just now?" Loudy repeated her question. "You're going to protect Lucille? From what? What really happened?"Lowly was silent, bowing his head, not daring to look his sister in the eye. But she knew Loudy wouldn't give up so easily."Lowly, I'm your big sister. If there's something, you should tell me. We're family," Loudy said more gently this time.Lowly finally lifted his face, the look in his eyes filled with indecision. But then she took a deep breath and said softly, "Loudy... I saw Lucille turn...
The next day the orphanage was filled with the laughter of children playing in the courtyard. Lucille was seen running around with a cloth ball, her hair waving in the wind. She laughed happily with another girl who was older than her. On a wooden bench near a large tree, Loudy sat casually, watching her younger siblings play. However, her eyes occasionally glanced at Lowly who was still sitting alone in the corner of the yard.Lowly sat hugging his knees, his face buried between his arms. The voices of the other children did not attract his attention in the slightest. In his mind, the image of that night continued to haunt him-when Lucille turned into a little wolf and attacked his favorite white sheep, Berry."Lowly," Loudy called as she approached, "why don't you play with them?"Lowly just shook his head slowly without lifting his face.Loudy let out a long breath. "You still don't want to talk?" she asked in a soft tone.Lowly remained silent, only tightening the hug on her knees
That morning, Mrs. Lyana arrived early. She brought a small car to pick up the three children. Lucille seemed the most excited, she had even brought a small bag with her dolls."Mama, I'm ready!" Lucille said cheerfully as she ran a little toward Ailee.Loudy came next, holding Lowly's hand who still looked pale. "Lowly's ready too, Mom," Loudy said in a calm tone, trying to sound like a responsible eldest child.Ailee lowered her head, holding both of Lowly's shoulders and looking at him deeply. "Lowly, listen to Mama carefully. It's okay, okay? You'll be safe there. Loudy and Lucille will take care of you."Lowly just nodded slowly, his eyes staring down.Ailee hugged him tightly before finally leading them to the door. "Mama will be waiting at home. Don't worry."Mrs. Lyana smiled gently at Ailee. "I'll let you know how they are. You can rest easy."Ailee smiled faintly. "Thank you, ma'am."With a heavy heart, Ailee released her three children to the orphanage. She stood at the doo
