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
The large room was filled with dark wood ornaments and antique furniture that reflected the glory of the Reynard clan. The air inside was chilly, even though the morning sun was shining brightly outside. At one corner of the long table, Aaron sat with his body erect, his stern face looking emotionless. Although he was known as a dominant and authoritative Alpha, this time the situation was different. In front of him sat Mr. Reynard, his father, a man with a large build and piercing eyes that could subdue anyone with just a look.Mr. Reynard poured himself a cup of tea, then leaned back in the chair with a gesture of authority. "You've missed quite a bit of time, Aaron. Five years of marriage, and you still have no children," he said, his voice heavy and stressed.Aaron didn't answer directly. He just stared at the cup in his hand, swirling a bit of barely touched tea."I did not force you to marry Tifanny just to be a ceremonial couple," Mr. Reynard continued. "I wanted a successor. A
The gentle breeze from the lake caressed Ailee's face as she looked at her small house that stood quietly at the edge of the forest. The house was simple, yet it had been a safe haven for her and her three children for the past few years. The fresh scent of the forest mixed with the moisture of the lake always made her feel at ease, but today, that relief was still overshadowed by worry."Mommy, when can we go to the orphanage again?" Lucille's cheerful voice broke Ailee's reverie. The little girl looked at her mother with sparkling eyes, the typical expression of a curious five-year-old."Yes, Mommy! It's really fun there! I like playing with Dario," Loudy continued enthusiastically, her hand grasping Ailee's arm tightly."I also want to stay again, Mommy!" Lowly added in a low voice but no less enthusiastic than her two twin sisters.Ailee smiled gently, though her heart was still a little heavy remembering last night. "That's fine, but you have to promise Mother. Don't play far awa
At the perfectly arranged dining table, the morning light infiltrated gently from behind the curtains. However, the warmth of the sunlight could not penetrate the cold aura of Aaron who sat at the end of the table with an unreadable expression. His gaze was sharp, his body perfectly erect, and his posture exuded undeniable authority. He busied himself with reading files on his cell phone, as if there was no one in the room but him.Tifanny sat across from her husband, trying to keep her face calm even as irritation began to overcome her. Throughout their five years of marriage, Aaron's coldness had always managed to make her feel small. But this time, Tifanny was determined not to lose."Aaron," she said, her voice firm but slightly trembling. She looked at Aaron who only raised an eyebrow, barely showing the slightest interest in responding."What's wrong?" Aaron replied briefly, still not looking at her. The way he spoke was so cold and straightforward, making anyone who heard him f
The night was already creeping into silence, a chill infiltrating the air through the crack in the window of the small room occupied by the triplets. The dim nightlight illuminated their tiny faces, but a sudden low whimpering sound shattered the silence. Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille, all three had woken up looking sleepy and confused."Mama..." whined Lucille softly, rubbing her eyes. "We want to stay here. We like it here."Ailee, who was also awake since hearing their voices, could only take a deep breath. She sat on the edge of their bed, trying to understand the twins' request without letting her worry show on her face. Ailee realized that at the age of five, Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille did not yet understand everything that was happening. They were just kids who wanted to play, wanted to have friends, and be comfortable in their own little world."It's so exciting here, Mama..." Lowly whispered with her eyes still half-closed."We have new friends, Mama. Why should we leave?" continu
In a corner of the orphanage's simple room, Ailee sat looking at the serene faces of the triplets who had just fallen asleep. Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille were already lying on their respective beds, and the sound of their rhythmic breathing brought a little peace to Ailee's heart. Those three children were the center of her life now, the miracle that kept her strong, even when she had to avoid and live in the shadows for years.Sunny, her best friend and former manager, had returned to her apartment moments ago. She knew that her every move might trigger the suspicions of Aaron's people, who probably wouldn't stop looking for Ailee. They agreed that Sunny shouldn't linger at the orphanage, to avoid that risk. Leaving Sunny behind did make Ailee's heart ache a little, but she knew that it was the best option for now.With slow steps, Ailee left the twins' room, closed the door carefully, and walked towards the living room, where Mrs. Lyana was sitting quietly, reading an old book.Mrs. L
Aaron sat in the black leather chair in his spacious office, looking at the stack of files on his desk with a blank stare. The piles of documents that usually filled his day and kept him busy seemed meaningless today. Ever since his meeting with Ailee in the city some time ago, his thoughts never left her. In his heart, he knew that he couldn't just let her go, even after five years had passed.Edric knocked on the door and entered the room, carrying a new, important-looking file. "This is the report you requested, Mr. Aaron," Edric said as he handed over the file.Aaron took it quickly, opening the first page with an enthusiasm that was hard to hide. His eyes immediately fell on the photo and identity of the man who was now the target of his curiosity: Aland Rexton.The file listed some important information: 29 years old, former artist of Gloss Entertainment agency, now under Kingdom Entertainment. This name is no stranger to showbiz, especially with his impressive track record. Ala
Ailee caught her breath after running away from Aaron. She walked quickly towards the orphanage where her children were, letting the image of Aaron slowly fade in her mind. Fear and relief mixed together in her-fear that Aaron might keep looking for her, and relief that at least she managed to get away from him for a while.As she arrived in front of the orphanage, her previously restless heart gradually subsided. Mrs. Lyana's orphanage was like a second home to Ailee. Over the past five years, this place had become an integral part of her life.Ailee entered the courtyard of the orphanage and immediately her eyes caught the sight that always warmed her heart: her three twins, Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille, were playing happily with their friends. They were laughing, running around, and forming a small circle while laughing together."Loudy, Lowly, Lucille..." murmured Ailee with affection.The three of them were so similar to Aaron-dark hair, eyes as sharp as weasels that shone with joy,
Ailee looked down, staring at Aaron's hand that grasped her fingers so tightly. Behind that grip, she felt the warmth that once made her feel safe. But now, that warmth only made her feel bound, making her feel that she didn't have the freedom she had been fighting for the past five years."It's not about leaving everything behind, Aaron," she said in a more stern tone. "It's about the reality we live in now. You don't know... there are things you can't imagine, things that... that should stay this way."Aaron was silent, but from the look in his eyes, Ailee knew that he wasn't going to just give up.The tension grew thicker, filling the narrow space with an almost unbearable weight. Ailee knew that if she didn't act soon, Aaron would be even harder to let go of. She had to go, leave this man and all their memories behind, no matter how difficult it was.After taking a deep breath, Ailee tried to shift her gaze out the window, looking for ways to devise an escape plan. On the other ha
Ailee did not expect those words to come out of the mouth of an Aaron Alison Louvin, Ailee remembered their less than pleasant first meeting, she also remembered their quite complicated relationship.Honestly, Ailee had not lost all her feelings for Aaron, their last meeting at Aaron's villa instilled quite strong feelings for Ailee. But, Ailee didn't know, 5 years of not seeing each other could change Aaron like this, the cold man was now speaking softly to her.But no, Ailee had something she prioritized more; her children, more than that, Ailee didn't want to ruin someone's household, no matter what Aaron said about her political marriage, no matter that she still had feelings for that man, Ailee knew, she also didn't want someone to ruin her family bond, for her living with the triplets was more than enough.Ailee averted her gaze, trying to avoid Aaron's demanding gaze. But the man's gaze was too intense, too deep, and seemed to bring Ailee back to the times when she and Aaron ha
