“Mr. Halle, the event starts at 9:00 AM, I’m supposed to pick you up.”

Jordan let out a rough breath. If he didn’t leave soon, his boss would be furious. If he could turn back time, he would have paid someone to take care of his work…

“Mr. Halle, we’ll stop here…” But when he turned, the driver saw Jordan’s face pale. “Are you alright, Mr. Halle?”

Jordan shook his head. Even though his body wasn’t feeling well, a man like him wouldn’t be weak and give up on his situation. “Keep driving”

However, the car came to a sudden halt when they saw people crowding in the middle of the road. Jordan and his driver got out of the car to find out what was happening. Seeing many security officers and reporters gathered around the area, Jordan immediately asked. “Excuse me, what’s going on?”

“Emma?” Jordan furrowed his brow, curious abou

    "Oek... Oek..." "Ma'am, Giselle won't stop crying. Would you mind holding her for a while?" The maid's request was met with immediate offense from Raisa. "You're paid to work here, aren't you?" Her eyebrow shot up, leaving the maid speechless. During her time with the Halle family, this was the first time her employer had ever mentioned wages. However, Raisa's presence in the house had made the maids feel insignificant, and even dismissing them was as easy as snapping her fingers. It might have been safe for Raisa, but not for those who lost their jobs in a blink of an eye. This was what irritated everyone working in the Halle household. As the maid chose to soothe her daughter Giselle until she stopped crying, Raisa started to rummage through her entire wardrobe. "I need to look perfect for the exclusive clothing brand commercial shoot. I need to secure an advance payment when I promote it. Get positive ratings and an extra bonus." Raisa's enthusiasm was so intense that she didn

    Raisa's voice was sharp and demanding, her gaze arrogant as she glared at the group of people before her. "You lowly beings, how dare you try to chase me away?" she sneered. "Byurr!" Her words were met with a spray of mineral water, soaking her face and dress. The people around her erupted in laughter, their amusement tinged with cruelty. Humiliated, Raisa retreated, pulling her sunglasses back down and turning to leave. "What's all the commotion here?" The laughter died down instantly. Raisa, who was about to give up and walk away, turned back to face the source of the voice. "Mr. Hans..." "Get back to your work." His voice was cold and commanding, silencing the room. No one dared to answer or argue. Raisa, emboldened by his presence, lifted her chin even higher. "What brings you to see me?" The question took her by surprise, but she quickly recovered. "It's about the project you offered. How about we sit down and discuss it?" "Right here, get to the point." A new agreement wa

A notification flashed, displaying a new balance in her bank account. "This must be Hans' doing..." she muttered, her eyes wide with disbelief. Her account now held a staggering one hundred million dollars The message following the notification sent a shiver down her spine. "This is just the beginning. There's more commission if the video is published. Reply to this message if you want to do it again." "The crazy man" Raisa almost threw her phone across the room, but she stopped herself. "Maybe this is about the collaboration he mentioned yesterday." The mystery lingered, but Raisa pushed it aside for a moment. She realized there were multiple missed calls from Jordan. "He must have been looking for me last night," she thought. "But what excuse can I give him?" Raisa stared blankly ahead, then quickly typed a message

He remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on the entrance, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. He was waiting for someone, someone special. He had nearly finished a pack of cigarettes, his lips curled into a knowing smirk, when the door swung open, revealing a woman in a vibrant orange dress. Her name was Raisa, and her arrival set his heart racing. "Raisa," he breathed, his eyes barely able to tear themselves away from her captivating beauty. He rose from his seat, a smile playing on his lips. "I didn't think you'd actually come. But you're a little late." Raisa sighed, her face etched with annoyance. "Do you think it's that simple?" "Just say, 'We're getting a divorce,' what's so hard about that?" "Are you trying to test my patience?" she retorted, her voice laced with frustration. Raisa felt like a

Was Clara intentionally seeking him out so they could reconcile? But the photo he saw on Clara's phone made him speechless. "W-where did you get this?" "I still have more to tell you, I hope you won't be shocked..." Jordan furrowed his brows, his assumptions were wrong. "What is it? Don't keep me in suspense..."

"No" Clara switched to the next slide. "Please watch this video..." "So that's why Raisa wanted a divorce?" Jordan finally vented his emotions after Clara left. The news he had just received today truly hurt his heart, "Why was I so foolish to marry Raisa?" Jordan felt regret for what he had seen himself on an adult video channel. He also regretted Ra

    Raisa received strange and cynical stares as she walked out of the studio building where she had spent the night. She ignored them, passing by without a care. "Hey kid, were you working last night?" An elderly woman asked her. Raisa turned and gave a small smile, but before she could answer, the woman continued. "You don't seem unfamiliar. Do you think selling yourself is halal?" Raisa snorted, then gave a wry smile. "Excuse me, why do you seem to know more about my life than I do?" Raisa waited for the woman's response, but there was no sign of her answering. "Why are you silent? Let me handle it, it's my personal business, you don't need to interfere in this." Raisa clearly didn't accept this. Unfortunately, the person Raisa should have called grandma, approached her and whispered. "So, did the man last night satisfy you?" Raisa's face turned nervous, but she stood tall. "Why are you so curious?" Raisa didn't want to entertain her any longer. She knew this woman wanted to rui

It seemed that not only Joe was impatiently awaiting the next day, but Clara was also eagerly anticipating their wedding day. Her unwavering smile became a topic of conversation among her neighbors, curious about her busy day. "Mrs. Lara, are you sure you want to replace all the decorations in this room?" A worker felt sorry for all the furniture and everything visible in the apartment. Everything was still new, they couldn't bear to throw it away.

  • Mysterious Husband is Billionaire   The Night the Whiskey Talked

    Louis wasn’t driving himself home. He’d opted for a cab, pulling up in front of a bar he hadn’t visited in ages. Stepping inside, the place was a whirlwind of young, reckless revelers and dancers grooving to the thumping DJ music. He weaved through the crowd, grabbing a drink the moment he spotted an empty stool.“Louis! What the hell are you doing?” Lucas appeared, his voice sharp, as he caught sight of his twin brother knocking back shots of hard liquor.“Louis, have you lost your mind? Your wife’s waiting at home, and you’re here, getting plastered?”Lucas tried to snatch the shot glass, but Louis held firm, his voice surprisingly calm. “Why the rush? Let’s relax and drink this stuff until we’re happy. Don’t worry about the cost.”This was getting out of hand. Louis wasn’t usually a drinker; this change was unsettling. Lucas needed to get him out of there before the alcohol did more damage. “Damn it! How do I even contact Mischa? My phone’s still in the car.”“Still want to wa

    Louis’s words hung in the air, sharp as a threat. Mischa wondered if the woman with the long nails and platinum blonde hair was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between them. Giselle watched the woman discreetly. When Louis excused himself to make a call, Mischa casually pulled a cigarette from her purse and lit it, the acrid smell of tobacco instantly filling the room. Giselle coughed. "Excuse me, but this is a non-smoking area. There's a sign right over there."Mischa glanced at the sign Giselle indicated, then rolled her eyes. "And I care?"Giselle took a deep breath, composing herself. Just as Louis returned, Netty's doctor emerged from the room. "Doctor, how is my sister-in-law?" Giselle asked anxiously."She's still unconscious. We'll be monitoring her hourly. Please, try to stay calm."Louis was about to enter Netty's room, but Mischa stopped him. "Can't we just go home? You've already done so much…" Her plea hung unspoken in the air."No! Can't you see someone's life is

"It's 2:00 AM."She sat up, leaning against the pillows, blinking sleepily, then checked her phone – still dark. Her breath hitched. Louis was going to see Netty. "I have to make sure Netty stays away from my husband," she muttered, a knot tightening in her stomach.She picked up her phone, intending to distract herself with social media. A post stopped her cold. Her husband was at the hospital!"This is weird. I need to find out what he's doing there."***2:05 AM"Ms. Netty needs type B blood. We're looking for donors…" Louis remembered the doctor's words to his sister, Giselle. He decided then and there to donate."Excuse me, doctor, I'm here to donate blood…" Louis knocked before entering the doctor's office."Come in…"He was calm, but worry etched his face."Your name?""Louis Halle.""Since you're close to the patient, are you willing to donate?" the doctor asked, observing

    The whispers followed Giselle like a shadow. "They say she never got her mother's love, not even as a baby," one voice hissed. Another chimed in, "Really? Where'd you hear that?" Giselle’s cheeks burned. The judging stares felt like knives. But the whispers died down abruptly as a figure appeared – Alessandro, her husband. "Al-Alessandro..." breathed the gossips. Their attention shifted back to their shopping, the initial purpose of their visit to Giselle’s grocery store. Alessandro’s arrival transformed Giselle's frown into a radiant smile. Serving her customers, she was noticeably more relaxed. Alessandro, however, watched her with a tender gaze, a small smile playing on his lips. Netty, noticing this exchange, chuckled softly. Despite the storms they’d weathered, Giselle felt incredibly fortunate to have him. And now, cradled in her arms, their beautiful baby boy, Leon, completed their picture.

However, she still believed that the only place for her to calm down was her family. "Netty, you have to take care of yourself there. I feel like an irresponsible person for letting you go alone. You must understand my situation right now, right?" Louis could not leave the company at that time, especially since his parents were so adamant about keeping him in the company. "Louis, why has your expression changed? Lucas suddenly appeared to awaken the man from his reverie. But Louis was still silent, so Lucas continued. "You and Netty were already considered to look like lovers, but why did you let her go?" His gaze turned cold at his twin brother. "Stay out of my business, you don't deserve it!" Finished speaking, Louis immediately left there with the burden of thoughts that were stuck in his mind about last night's incident. He acciden

Who told you to give me these?"The boy flashed a gap-toothed grin, then produced a beautifully packaged food box with a little note attached. (Don't forget to eat the food right away!)Reading the note, Netty looked back at the boy—but he was gone! Poof!Where did he go?She searched the immediate area, but the little guy had vanished. Weird!Shrugging it off, Netty prepared to leave. That's when Louis appeared, a smirk playing on his lips. "So? Did you get your bouquet?"Netty frowned, looking down at the flowers in her hand. "So, this was your doing?"Louis nodded slowly. "Do you like them?"He started to respond, but then—bam!—a near-identical version of himself materialized, greeting Louis with, "Long time no see, Louis. How's it going?"But his face was sour. Louis clearly wasn't thrilled about this guy'

This was seriously shady!The driver got out of the car, removed their glasses, and stood in a hidden corner, producing a wad of cash from atop the car's hood. "Here's your payment, as agreed. Five million should be enough. Count it yourself."The hired man opened the bag containing the money. Seeing the bundle intact, the bald man with a tattooed arm smiled contentedly.
