“No! You're a thief! How could you steal from me?! Are young people nowadays that cunning?”
The crowd around us started taking photos or videos, but the old woman did nothing but fire up their curiosity.
“I helped you, ma’am. I wouldn’t steal from you. I am not a thief.”
“Don’t you dare talk back, miss!”
But that’s the truth.
I respect the elderly but don’t tolerate bullies… Anyway, I decided to be more patient than her.
“Ma’am, let's just talk this to—”
“You think I’m a liar? Do you want to take me to prison?“
Wait? Was I just scammed? A gaslighting drama to extort from me? I know this kind of drama. She's playing the victim and weak, for people believe her that I robbed her.
I smiled.

(DAHLIA POV)The guy who helped me was nuts. He let an old woman off with extorted money. She’ll repeat it every chance she gets and scam as many gullible people. Tsk.Does the old woman no longer have a sensible job to cling to from scamming?Yet, I was hoping my face didn’t spread on social media and bashed on. I wasn’t an active member of SocMed platforms, but I was only concerned about my future readers. Having bad reputation before my career even begins isn’t a good start. Somehow it makes me sign up to a famous platform for me to be able to know the latest trends. A writer must learn continuously.I remembered what the man had told me earlier. Time is more valuable than money. So I picked up the groceries I bought and left the place.I ignored the people who were willing to waste their time meddling in none of their business. And to the man, who helped me, thank you. Regardles
Nine Months Chapter 18 The Dragon Interest
(CEDRICK POV)“Scent of rosemary,” Master Kai mumbled when an umbrella flew in his sight and caught it. I thought he would be annoyed by the thing, but he was relatively calm when he spoke.“A woman.” Then he smiled… “Who do you think owns this?”“Master Kai.” He asks me questions that I can't answer right away.“An early challenge to return this to its owner. I’m curious about her scent. “That scent calmed him down? That’s new. In a moment, Master Kai disappeared in front of me.Challenge? Early work for someone likes me. Master Kai had nothing else to do aside from doing nonsense things that caught his curiosity.His sudden disappearance wasn’t that hard for me to follow until I found myself in front of that hospital that I had just gone into. I bring here Mr. Ofem
Nine Months Chapter 19 Confused
(DAHLIA POV)I was in the corridor, which is the rooms are for VIP patients. Has Carlo used an expensive room? Oh no! This can’t happen. The woman stopped at the front of a door, which is… is Carlo’s VIP room. My pocket was panicking about it. So, before we entered, I had to ask the clerk who really brought my cousin there?“Tell me the truth, Miss. Who brought Carlo here? Is he commissioned to do that ?!” my blood was seething.Did the hospital sponsor Carlo so he wouldn't have to pay for the bill? Or will the one who brought him here be gonna pay?No. Carlo was brought here for burying us in the hospital bill by the one who beat him.“You’re worried about the expenses? Aren’t you concerned about him?” A baritone voice asked.I turned to see who was talking and saw a man taking a cup of drink from the dispenser.“I don&r
Nine Months Chapter 20 Concern
(Dahlia POV)I called his parents. Their initial reaction was just like mine, drag Carlo out of the hospital. Until I told them the details. What kind of people did he mess up with to end up that way? But it felt as if it was my fault…I should have given him my money as soon as he asked for it. If I did, he would’ve had stayed home, bruise-free and healthy.“Auntie, what happened to Carlo is really dreadful. He is critical now. He needs to undergo surgery immediately.” I slowly tell them the real situation; hope they listen to me. I couldn't bear this all by myself.“Carlo is just scaring you. Gosh, don't believe him. Let me call him and I will scold him for good. I thought he had a job there. Tss.”"A job?" This reckless person really lied to his parents. He doesn't even help Grandma's cafe ever since he comes here.“Yes. He told me these past days he g
Nine Months Chapter 21 I know that kind of smile.
(Dahlia POV)I realized; Carlo was being truthful when he said we’re going to lose the shop. Stupid guy! Just what was he thinking?! I let them do things freely. But to meddle with the old man's property was unforgivable! Carlo is a bad weed, which meant he wouldn’t die easily. It’s up to karma to bitch whoever did that to him.I turned around when I heard someone coughing on his drink. He obviously wishes to get my attention. It was the man from earlier. There, buddy. You should know where to put your nose on.He caught my deadly gaze, the reason why he spilled his drinks. The man who thought he knew my situation a while ago. The one who interfered with that I was more concerned with money than Carlo's severe condition.What he wants to see is begging to save my cousin's life. Cry for him. The question is, does crying pay the hospital bill?It would be best if he joined our conversatio

(Dahlia POV)When I open my eyes out of curiosity, someone is about to hit me. All of a sudden, a hand stopped him. He immediately twisted the attacker's arm to make the man scream and brought down the pan.Unhesitatingly, I managed to pick up the pan. And hit it on the head of the man who almost hurt me."This is what you get!You never fed me, so you can't hurt me!Another swing of the pan. That's it! I am very satisfied with what I did.And when I turned to the One who saved me, my eyes widened. The frying pan fell off in my hand. This is the man who seems to have our paths always intersected. His eyes…Karen pulled me over, and the man kicked the scoundrels again. He's with his associates. Because of them, the unwanted guest runs breathing heavily.

Nine Months Chapter 23 Death
(Venal POV)I went back to the shop for the real purpose of our visit. To talk to the woman. I found the two women serving our men with milk tea. I just nodded when they stared at me.“Where did you go?” The woman greeted me vigorously. She has had this lively aura around her ever since we first met. Her name is Dahlia Amelia. Like the flower, she makes a place more beautiful.I smiled at her.Generally, the significance of Dahlia flowers is positive. Perhaps the most common of all isfinding inner strength, which roots back to the plant’s ability to withstand harsh conditions.Some say, Dahlias, are remaining graceful and standing out from the crowd since their beauty and elegance are undeniable. A kind of flower that makes the best gift for someone you admire or perceive as a strong person.This woman in front of me has the same characteristics as her name.&l

Nine Months Chapter 94: Discrimination of My Lineage
(Yuki POV)“While those bitches you call, have a status in the association.”I give him a forced smile. "I do not care Cedrick. As long my brother Kai was at my side I would never falter. Why not admit that you are just an envious creature. How pity. My brother Kai values someone like me a lot. Despite of being human, weak? But all my wishes are granted by him. Well, you're just his secretary and nothing more bond to you with my brother, but your job. He just orders you, and you need to obey. If you make him angry, he might punish you with death. Aren't you scared Cedrick?”It is time for me to push him at the truth's edge. “I am more precious than to his own kind.”He smirked. “Fine. Let’s see. I will let you go on your way Miss Yuki and test your brother’s treatment to you. If you thought that we are like dog, that have a sense loyalty to a human, you are in danger Miss Yuki.”“Dog. If you are dog, Cedrick, you will be the most outrageous one.”“Maybe. Especially having you as my ma
Nine Months Chapter 93: Weak, Human
(Yuki POV)We arrived at the threshold of the company; I didn't bother to go to the reception desk. I went straight to the executive floor. And all the eyes I pass are normally peculiar, mostly werewolves. Why should I be surprised, Brother Kai was their Grand Alpha in this generation. Walking with a confidence I didn’t bother about my safety, who are they to attack their Grand Alpha's beloved sister? I was especially escorted with Grand Alpha’s men, and they were recognized by their fellow.I come here once a blue moon, after brother Kai talked to me after my previous visit. He warns me personally that it is dangerous for me. It might be too late for an attack if the newbies aren't informed about me.I knew the way exactly to his office, since there are no major changes. When I got to his office, the guard on the door met my gaze and I expected them to recognize me. They did as they opened the door. Even though I hadn't seen yet my brother, I greeted him sweetly, but it was wasted fo
Nine Months Chapter 92: The Ghost Writer
(Yuki POV)When Mr. Owen left, I walked around the garden while the servants were taking care of the dog that I murdered. When I couldn't find peace and calm myself, I returned to their presence. They immediately halted to what they were doing and slightly bowed in front of me."Call Cedrick right now.” I take a seat. “I don't care what he's doing right now, I just want to know the whereabouts of my brother.""But Miss Yuki, the Master instruction will be violated, especially these hours, we should not disturb them.” The butler cares to respond."I know.” I looked at him. “But the only one that I respect is my brother Malcolm. Cedrick is my intention to be disturbed. You heard me clearly, right? It is him I want you to phone, not my brother. Don’t be stupid.”The butler bowed, even though there’s a hesitation but he couldn’t defy my words. He signals one of his men to phone the mere secretary of my brother.When Cedrick answered the call I couldn't wait to grab the phone from the butl
Nine Months Chapter 91: Scapegoat
(Yuki's POV)“And who is she Miss Yuki? As you refer her as ‘her.’” I caught his curiosity.“You, yourself gave me that idea having a ghost writer. Didn’t you?” I didn’t bother to answer his inquisitiveness. But confirm with a nod. He likes the idea not only I would have an assistant to my career, also to divert my mood and he sees some hope that I won't take my anger out on him.“Though there is a problem finding her. It is only my brother who can tell me where I can find her. But it's just a simple problem not to compromise your time especially in part of my brother. Tss. She is just a mere aspiring writer. It is easily to find her. If she declines me even though I place a few cases of money in front of her, she is prideful of herself. Didn’t she, Mr. Owen.”“I agree with you on that Miss Yuki.” Tsk. He always agreed in front of me. “I know she will not decline you.”“I hope so. I hope she is like you who sells his integrity.” Then I grinned at him. I slap him with my words so good.
Nine Months Chapter 90: It should be Me!
Alexandra POV)“Tss. This is the reason why you are willing to visit me? I think I need to repeat myself again Mr. Owen. If they make a movie adoption, won't there be a lot of maggots stealing my idea? Make it as a cliché. Get some inspiration and they will make a different version so that it won't be seen that they plagiarized it? Don’t you get it Mr. Owen?”In truth, the real reason behind is I don’t want to make the story famous that I didn’t write. If I let them make a movie adoption, it is obvious that a lot of movie enthusiast will love it. It is like a silent bullet for myself, that proves there is someone better than me.I hate it. I don’t want to lose to that mere commoner!Dahlia… Who are you to take everything away from me?! I need to put an end of this.“Miss Yuki. Please consider and think about it. We both aware that this is possible to your story. It is also part of the contract you signed with our company."“Tss. How sweet. Owww. Thank you for your concern but I am not

I am determined to beat that woman. I hate her. I really do. Even though I didn’t meet her in person. In case it happened I might kill her.Brewing some various type of tea in garden might help me inspired. However, I ended up wasting the ingredients without determining the proper brewing her tea. Tsk. What is her magic? If the taste of my tea didn’t satisfied me, it is also means that brother Kai will don’t like it. Of course he will compliment my effort but hide the fact that I couldn’t beat his woman’s tea. Bulsh*t! Tsk.The butler arrived and bowed in my presence. “Miss Yuki, your editor has arrived.”“Show him the way here.”Mr. Owen was escorted in, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a c

Everyone feels an intimidation, which makes us bow down in his direction. His laughed turn into a chuckle.He is entertained. “You know Venal, I think the two weeks I have given to you are too long. It seems like century. I think I might run out of my patience for you to persuade that woman. Of all the women I married, she is the only one who gives me a strange attitude. She struggles to fought but it was obvious that she is weak. How long will she stand to decline my offer? She is getting into my nerves.”I admit, what he is telling me is not good to hear. Still rooting he doesn’t try to rush this matter. Two weeks was not enough for me to convince his chosen. Having a tea with her is tough to request."Just make sure I don't get bored and have my schedule full for I wouldn’t dare to cut my given time to yo
