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
That morning, as usual, Ailee woke up early. The air around the lake was fresh, a light dew still on the grass. She walked into the kitchen, preparing a simple breakfast for herself and her three children-Loudy, Lowly, and Lucille. The aroma of toast filled the small room, blending with the sound of birds chirping in the background of their daily lives.The three children sat at the dining table enthusiastically, as usual. Lucille, the most cheerful among them, started the conversation."Mama, are we going to the forest again today?"Ailee smiled, though her heart was a little wary. The forest was her children's favorite place, but she never let them go unsupervised."You can, but later, when Mama's work is done. You should also stay close to home. Don't go too far," she said gently.The three of them nodded in unison. Loudy, who always felt she was more mature, added, "We promise, Ma. We'll take care of each other."Ailee looked at them with mixed feelings. The fear that had haunted
The morning sun broke through the large curtains in the dining room of Aaron and Tifanny's residence. The smell of fresh coffee and toast filled the air, but the usual cold atmosphere surrounding the house remained unchanged. Tifanny sat quietly in a chair, sipping coffee as she stared at her phone screen. Her expression was calm, but her mind was in turmoil.For the past few days, she had begun to smell something strange from Aaron. The man left the house more often with the excuse of work or sudden meetings. Although Aaron was a man known for being very busy, there was something different this time - like he was on a secret mission."Zoe Ailee," Tifanny muttered softly, remembering the name. She knew the name had something to do with Aaron's past, but how deep the connection was, she couldn't be sure.She realized that Aaron would never speak honestly to her. Instead, Tifanny relied on the spies she secretly hired to dig up information. She felt this was the only way to find out the
Dusk began to fall by the lake. The small wooden house where Ailee was hiding looked peaceful from the outside, but inside, the owner's mood was far from calm. Ailee was busy in the kitchen preparing a simple dinner while occasionally glancing at the triplets playing happily in the living room.After last night's incident at the orphanage, she felt a little relieved to be back home, but fear still gripped her heart. She had installed the CCTVs given to her by Mrs. Lyana in several corners of the house, but she knew it wouldn't be enough if Aaron really came looking for her.While Ailee was still deep in thought, a knock on the front door startled her. The triplets turned their heads in unison, then resumed their game."Mommy, who is it?" one of them asked in an innocent voice.Ailee wiped her wet hands with a cloth before answering. "Mommy will see. You guys stay here, okay?"She walked to the door carefully, opening the door just a little to make sure who was coming. Mrs. Lyana's fac
As previously planned, Aaron intended to come to the orphanage and ask Edric to postpone his entire schedule for the day. However, he unexpectedly met Aland there instead."Who are you looking for?" Aaron asked with a sharp gaze."It's none of your business" Aland answered Aaron's question, he tried to remain calm even though he felt tremendous pressure from the man in front of him.Aaron smiled a little, but there was no warmth in that smile. "Everything that happens here is my business," he said in an intimidating tone.Aland felt his chest tighten, but he didn't want to back down. "That sounds ridiculous," he said finally.But that didn't change Aaron's expression one bit. Although Aland didn't say it directly, but Aaron's hunch was very strong, the man must have come with the same purpose as him; looking for Ailee.Aaron approached, and the sound of his footsteps on the ground sounded heavy and intimidating. "I suggest you stop playing around. I don't have much patience for nonsen
That morning, Aland Rexton sat in his spacious living room, his fingers tapping on the wooden table in an erratic rhythm. Thoughts of Ailee continued to haunt his mind. It had been a week since their meeting in the city center, but the feelings he had been suppressing were rekindled. He knew that if he didn't act now, he might never be able to forgive himself. His gaze falls on the cell phone on the table. He stares at the number of Hana, his manager, as if he is holding something. After finishing his cup of cold morning coffee, Aland finally pressed the speed dial button. He calls Hana, his long-time manager. "Hana," he said when she answered in a formal tone, "I need a favor." "What is it, Aland?" Hana sounded wary. "I need you to contact Sunny," Aland said directly. "Didn't you say you were friends?" Hana was silent for a moment. "Yes, we've worked together a few times. But why do you want me to contact her? Is it about work?" "No," Aland replied quietly, his voice lowered. "F
That night, Aaron Alison Louvin's mansion was shrouded in silence. Only the faint sound of servants' steps could be heard downstairs. In the dining room, Tifanny sat at the long table, waiting with a flat expression but her eyes showing hidden emotions.The main door opened, and Aaron's heavy steps could be heard approaching. The man entered the dining room with a domineering cold aura, his face expressionless yet full of authority. He took his place at the end of the table, not saying a word."How was your meeting with your father?" Tifanny finally asked, her voice sounding flat yet firm.Aaron did not answer immediately. He took the glass of water that the waiter had prepared, sipping it slowly while turning his eyes to the corner of the room. Tifanny tapped her finger on the table, annoyed with Aaron's usual attitude, showing no interest in explaining anything."I'm talking to you, Aaron," Tifanny insisted, her tone rising."What do you want to hear?" Aaron finally opened his mouth
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
