I had no idea Arthur had told his family about me. This moment made me realize that he had loved me from the beginning, and it's easier to call it love at first sight.

I was overjoyed that he remembered me after stealing my jewellery for the past five years.

When I woke up five years ago to find an empty room and all of my jewellery missing, I immediately assumed that I had given my virginity to a thief, and it turns out that I was correct.

Arthur stole my jewellery five years ago, and now that he's back in my life, he's stolen my heart in a very short time.

I may appear selfish, but for once, all I want is to steal something nice from Arthur. I want to take his surname and don't mind being known as Cornelia Alanson.

I was still smiling and thinking about how fortunate I was to have met Arthur when I heard his mother mention something about cancer.

I had been lost in thought, but when I heard her say the word "Cancer," I slowly shifted my gaze to her. "Mom, do you have cancer?" I ques

  • One Night Child    It's an honor.

    Arthur and I were still talking while his aunt looked on from a distance. She has a happy expression on her face, and I can tell she is rooting for both Arthur and me."I apologize for taking so long." Arthur's mother apologizes as she moves closer to us.She went to the guest restroom a while ago and took her time, but I didn't notice because Arthur and I were both busy keeping each other company while she was gone. "You don't have to apologize, Mom." Arthur told his mother.She takes a bond from her handbags and ties her hair into a neat ponytail, making her appear younger and likewise adorable. Mrs. Alanson smiles as she grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the kitchen. "Because it's almost nighttime, why don't we have some mother-daughter time?" Mrs. Alanson made the request.I have no right to refuse, and I would also enjoy cooking with her. "It's an honor to be in the kitchen with you, Mom, and I'll try to make something nice despite my nervousness." I declare, and what I just s

  • One Night Child    Let Arthur go.

    It was more than I expected to have dinner with Arthur's mother and aunt Astrid. I assumed that when I met Arthur's parents, I'd be chastised for my fat appearance, and that they'd make fun of me because I'm not as pretty as a doll.Arthur's mother had excused herself to go pick up a phone call, and as she returned, she had a mighty frown on her face.I was the first to notice her frown, and as she approached the dining table, I arched my brows before questioning her. "Is everything okay, Mom?" I inquired of her.Mrs. Alanson looks at me with a disgusted expression before shifting her gaze to her son.Arthur quickly noticed his mother's intense gaze on him and stopped eating as he arched his brows at her. "Mom." Mrs. Alanson did not respond when Arthur called out for his mother. "With your intense gaze, sis, you are scaring everyone." Mrs. Alanson was told by Arthur's aunt.Finally, Mrs. Alanson blinked several times before taking her seat.Mrs. Alanson remained silent throughout the

    "Enough already, Mom!" Arthur exclaims as he rises from his seat, addressing his mother.Arthur Mom was taken aback by her own child's behavior. She arched her brows as she slowly shifted her gaze to Arthur. "Did… did you just scream at your mother?" She asked while stuttering.Arthur didn't want to respond to his mother because he was dissatisfied with her actions. "Did you just yell at your mother, Arthur?" She inquired once more.Arthur is so enraged at her that he cannot bring himself to say anything. "Pumpkin, let's go home." Arthur declared as he looked at me with a brief smile on his lips.I return his smile as I wipe away the tears that were streaming down my cheeks. "You don't have to worry because I can go on my own." I declared as I rose from my seat.I was about to leave the dining room when Arthur rushed up to my side and grabbed my wrist.He stared at me with a pleading gaze as he briefly bit his lower lips. "Please let me follow you." Arthur pleaded, but I could only fo

    "All right then." Arthur's mother stated.Arthur turned around and shot his mother with a lethal glare. "What? It's a good thing you're both breaking up now." She added without hesitation.Arthur exhaled while biting his lower lips. He rushed over to my side and grabbed my hands. "Cornelia, don't do this to me. You already know how much I love you, so please don't mind my mother, okay? Cornelia, I love you, so please… Please don't do this to me...""I'm sorry, Arthur, but I won't be able to stay." I declared before yanking my hands away from Arthur's firm grip.He didn't let go and ran towards me, wrapping his hands around my waist. "Don't... Please don't do this to me Cornelia, you're breaking my heart." As he rested his head on my back, he stammered.I'm on the verge of grabbing the door knot, but Arthur's grip on me prevents me from doing so. "Please... Arthur, ple… please release me." As I forcefully swallow my saliva, I beg.He shakes his head side to side. "Cornelia, I can't… I

    "What exactly did you say?" Arthur's mother questioned me, her brows slightly arched.She wasn't looking at me with curiosity; instead, she was looking at me with disgust on her face.I was so irritated that I turned around and decided to excuse myself from this house before I got a serious headache because I've been through enough in life and explaining myself to Arthur's mother wasn't worth it."Cornelia, I believe you need to explain something to me. What the hell do you mean when you say the child you have is Arthur's? You should not start imposing yourself on my son because your child's father abandoned you." She yelled.It hurts like hell when Arthur's mother speaks to me as if I had offended her in a previous life.Some minutes ago, she was chatting with me and speaking to me in a friendly manner, but humans all have different personalities."I don't need to justify myself to you, Mrs. Alanson."Mrs. Alanson grabbed my wrist and pulled me back as I was about to walk into the si

    I hailed a cab as fast as my petite little could carry me.I told the cab driver where I wanted to go, which was none other than Elizabeth Restaurant.Elizabeth is my only friend in town, so when I arrived at her restaurant, I rushed inside and asked her for assistance with a dollar bill.Elizabeth gave me a few dollars without even asking me a question, so I ran back outside and paid the cab driver."Do you want a bottle of warm water?" She inquired after I had taken my seat on a single chair at a table for two."You don't have to be concerned about me. Simply take care of your customers." I murmur.I always try to appear strong, and right now I'm trying to appear brave in front of Elizabeth, but deep down I'm in a lot of pain.I can't even feel my eyes because they were so weak, and they were also filled with tears that I'm fighting back from spilling."I'll bring you a glass of cold water." As she walked away from me, Elizabeth said.She had completely ignored my request that she s

    Arthur's point of view.I couldn't think straight because it felt like my entire world was collapsing around me.Things didn't make complete sense to me, and I'm not sure where to begin.I never expected my Aunt and Mom to show up unexpectedly at my house, and to make matters worse, my Mom now despises the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.I understand that saying he'd spend the rest of his life with Cornelia sounds ridiculous because the rest of his life isn't going to end in three months.I don't have cancer and have many more years to live, but I want to be the man for Cornelia before she dies.I want to be the one who loves and cherishes her indefinitely, even if she is six feet underground.Currently.

"Bro! Are you serious right now?" William inquired.Arthur burst into tears again as he collapsed on the floor, his body trembling uncontrollably. "I'll… I'll go talk to her; I believe it's just a misunderstanding.""Don't... don't do it, William. I was the one who ended things with her, not the other way around." Arthur explained everything to William.William exhaled."What the hell happened, bro? What happened to cause you to make such a hasty decision?

    Five years later."Mister Handsome... please be careful!" I told Arthur, who was baking a cake for his one and only pumpkin, none other than me. "Are you scared that I would fall and break my leg?" He inquired, and I couldn't help but nod. I'm currently worried that Arthur will trip and shatter his legs. I'm just too worried about him to think about myself. "You should be happy that I'm caring for you, but I still don't mind if you fall, because I would end up laughing at you." I smiled and shrugged as I stated my heart.I merely stated the truth, and the truth will always be the truth. Arthur was currently atop a small stool, attempting to reach the cake knife on the higher side of the kitchen cabinet. He claims to have a unique knife that he keeps hidden in the kitchen cupboard and that he want to use it right now. He smiled as he stepped down from the stool and handed me the knife. 'Gush! I'm relieved that he successfully stepped down from the kitchen stool without injuring

"I hope you don't mind if I look after the things that God gave to you?" I was questioned by Mister handsome. I quickly acted like an compelled individual, and I began to nod my head in excitement. "I... I... I don't mind!" I muttered in hushed tones. I'm extremely excited right now and don't know what to do to make Arthur snappy.He could clearly see my begging gaze, and as he leaned in closer, he buried a kiss on my neck, sucking my flesh as if it were honey. My hands were pinned to the wall, so all I could do was arched my brows and moan loudly. The sensation was euphoric for me, and I was well aware that Mister handsome had more in store for me. Arthur brought out his tongue and allowed his tongue to explore my body as I bit my bottom lips. The sensation was divine.Mister handsome grinn

    There is mature material involved.The sound of birds singing a joyous tune could be heard across the window, and the sun's reflection sneaked through. I brushed my fingertips across the duvet, relishing the aroma of a new day. I slowly opened my closed eyelashes, and there was a handsome young man sleeping just next to me. Arthur is a handsome young man, and just glancing at him made him appear so sexy. But, then...I quickly grabbed the blanket that was keeping me warm in order to stay alert. I recall showering in the bathtub last night, but now it's morning and I'm also on the bed. I sighed with relief as I examined my body, knowing full well that I wasn't naked and that Mister Handsome hadn't done anything to me. 'But how did I get to the bed?'I blinked my lashes a few times before returning my attention to Mister handsome. With my hands, I gently caressed Arthur's face."You really are the most handsome man in the entire universe." I complimented Arthur because I couldn't

    Me and Mister Handsome each had a little reception party, and Arthur was quite amorous towards me during the event.Currently! After the reception, Arthur and I went back to our hotel rooms. Alexander followed Arthur Mom as they made their way to Arthur's personal hotel room because Arthur Mom was intended to offer both Mister handsome and I some privacy. I was fatigued, so when the door to the hotel room was opened for me, I went to find the bedroom so I could sleep warmly, but I found something surprising. As soon as I stepped into the bedroom, my mouth hung open slightly. When I saw a bed full of beautiful roses in front of me, I couldn't believe my eyes. "Do you think you're going to like it?" Arthur, who was standing right behind me, inquired. I bit my lower lip and nodded quickly. "I absolutely love it, Arthur." I exclaimed. I continued walking inside the room, straight to the walk-in closet. "Can you help me with my zip code? I need to get rid of this." I spoke to Arthur.

    When two loving souls meet and decide to become one, a wedding is nearly always in the works. And a wedding necessitates a well-designed and well-made wedding gown.A lovely white wedding gown with a straight pentagonal necklace and a basque waistline pattern was observed on the body of a lovely young lady with fair Olive complexion.The lady wore a tight gown that clung to her figure. Unlike A-line or ball gown wedding gowns, her gown is a mermaid-like gown that stretches below the knee rather than at the waist, creating the illusion of a mermaid-like "tail" that is totally stunning.It draws attention to the lady's contours. The mermaid dress produces an hourglass figure by hugging the chest and waist and flaring out at the bottom.It had a lace long sleeve that was meant to keep the lady warm, and a white Veil that was used to conceal the lady's face.

The individual is none other than myself. ***Flashback***I could plainly hear them chanting my name on the day the doctor declared that I was dead... Well! Despite the fact that I'm currently lying down in a medical bed, I could hear Arthur calling my name. I could tell by Arthur's voice alone that he must have been hurt seeing my lifeless body.But on the other hand, I'm more than hurt right now. It hurts me to leave Mister handsome alone, but I can't help myself.I don't own my life, so I don't have control over it. I could sense myself in a hospital bed, and the irony is that I'm drowning.

    We are terrified of the unknown when we die, just as we are when we are born. But fear is something that comes from within ourselves and has nothing to do with reality. Dying is similar to birth in that it is simply a shift.**The casket was elegantly designed and white in hue. Arthur had ordered that the coffin be white, claiming that the coffin is as white as the soul of the person who will be buried in it.

    "You have the power to break my soul. Remove my life from my hands. Defeat me. Hurt me. Murder me. But for God's sake... death, please... don't take... Please don't take Cornelia away from me!" Arthur screamed while sobbing. He's still struggling to accept Cornelia's death. She couldn't be dead, can she?The doctor was no longer in the hospital room, and a couple nurses entered, covering Cornelia's face with a white sheet. Arthur's eyes remained wide open as his parents and Cornelia's parents entered, and his mother clutched him so that he wouldn't do anything logical.He remained motionless as he stared at Cornelia. 'She can't be dead, can she?' Arthur questioned himself once more. "Art... Arthur, I'm truly sorry." Queen Mulan said while cuddling her son. She still finds it difficult to accept Cornelia's abrupt death. It was still a dream, and all she could feel were chills on her skin and her heart splitting into pieces.
