โI am a little tired, so I am coming out for a break. I will go back in a while.โ Alice said.Zayden nodded, picked up Max by the collar of his shirt, and said, โHey, little guy, you canโt get into the womenโs locker room. Get your hands off Alice.โMax reluctantly let go of Alice and was carried into the locker room by Zayden. After making sure Zayden was in the locker room, Alice went in the opposite direction and walked through the womenโs locker room to the exit. She then crouched in an open spot and pointed her phone at the menโs locker room, ready to record video. She wanted to laugh but didnโt dare to laugh out loud.Zayden soon walked out, holding Maxโs hand. Both of them were wearing black swim trunks, and Zayden had a white towel around his neck. Zayden had just taken a few steps when he was tugged by a woman. The woman said, โCouch, do you have a new swimsuit here? My swimsuit is tight, and I didnโt bring an extra one.โZayden frowned and said, โYou have got the wrong perso
Aliceโs face turned red. She then said, โI donโt think so.โZayden looked at her with a smirk and asked, โReally? But you donโt look like you donโt think so.โAlice looked highly wary, so Zayden knew what she was thinking. Seeing him looking at her, she subconsciously looked down at herself. Then she hesitantly dropped her hands and asked awkwardly, โBesides, what do you mean by bringing me here? I can apologize for what just happened, but you have to let me out.Zayden didnโt even look like he wanted to move. He simply turned around and leaned back on the headrest at the edge of the tub, and said in a low, teasing voice, โDo you think your apology is enough?โAlice got anxious and asked, โThen what do you want from me?โโCome here and rub my back.โ He said curly. His voice echoed in the bathroom. Alice froze for a long time when she heard the words. She looked straight up at Zaydenโs back and stuttered, โAreโฆ Are you kidding me?โโYou can think I am joking if you want to spend an aft
โZaydenโฆโ Panting, Alice called his name. At the same time, she bit her lips, closed her eyes, and let desire take the better of her.Zayden was more than aroused and ecstatic. The last time they had sex, he thought that the reason why Alice took the initiative was simply because she was under the influence of alcohol. However, it turned out that Alice was also affectionate toward him, proving that his affection toward her was not merely unrequited love.He clenched her waist more tightly and sped up.โAhh!โ Alice couldnโt help trembling. She felt a wave of electricity running from her cervix to her head, feeling like fireworks had just exploded inside her body. And her hand and legs went numb but shook uncontrollably. To Zaydenโs surprise, Alice passed out.After a while, Alice felt that someone was holding her and drying her off as she was dazed. She then was placed in a large, clean, comfortable bed and covered with a quilt. She was so tired that she drifted off to sleep immediatel
โWe have arrived.โAlice snapped back to her senses after hearing Zaydenโs low voice. She turned her head to look out the window and saw the apartment she was staying in. She was a little disappointed because she felt that she was just having dinner at Zaydenโs house.After thanking him, she then turned her head and shook Elianaโs shoulder, and said, โEliana, hey baby wake up.โEliana grunted and was still asleep.โI have got this,โ Zayden unbuckled his seat belt. He then got out of the car before Alice could refuse his offer. Zayden pulled open the car door on the other side of the car and gently picked up Eliana.โCome on, I will walk you upstairs.โAlice froze, she nodded immediately after coming back to her senses and walked ahead to lead the way for him. Maggieโs apartment was on the twentieth floor. As the elevator was rising slowly, the two seemed like they could hear each otherโs breathing in the narrow space.Eliana was lying quietly on Zaydenโs shoulder, sleeping soundly. Sh
Maggie drove Alice to the hotel the following afternoon. When they were at the door, Maggie teased Alice, โDo you want me to walk you in? Maybe we will run into Zayden. If you are too embarrassed to talk to him, then I will speak for you.โAlice rolled her eyes at her and said, โStop it, Maggie, stop the nonsense. Open the trunk and let me take the case. Thank you for taking care of Eliana.โMaggie leaned back, winked at her, and said, โI know. You might as well think about your own business, Alice, like finding a stepfather for Eliana or something. You donโt have to worry about anything else.โAlice was a little speechless. Maggie had mentioned Zayden since early this morning, even making Alice wonder if Zayden had bribed her into mentioning him in front of her. Alice took her suitcase and then stood still. Only when Maggieโs car drove away that she pulled the suitcase into the hotel.She walked straight to the door of her room and swiped it open with her spare room card. โWhy is thi
The two waiters looked at each other, and their mouths opened wide in surprise.Alice snapped back to her sense and tried to draw back her hand. Unexpectedly, her hand was held even tighter by Zayden.โDid you guys see clearly? She is mine now. Go to the HR department and resign and tell the others everything you saw,โ He said.Both Waiters turned pale. One of them was in a cold sweat, and he almost fell on his knees if not for the waiter next to him holding him up.Faced with Zayden, a cold and powerful man, they didnโt even dare to beg for mercy and quickly left.The room returned to silence as the door to their room closed. Alice rubbed her wrist, lowered her head, and asked, โWhy did you say that?โโSay what?โโYou said that I was your fiancee.โZayden stepped closer, lifted her chin, and forced her to look directly at him, he then said, โDid you understand what I said last night?โAlice found herself approaching the bed behind her and there was nowhere for her to run. She said, โ
Zayden hadnโt considered that he would get married until he met Alice. He never felt lonely living alone. He even thought that having a dog accompanying him was more reliable than getting married.In his opinion, Max had enough turned his life up and down, but he hadnโt expected to meet Alice, who turned his life upside down even more. Zayden holds different attitudes toward Max and Alice. He wasnโt too happy when he first met Max, but he loved having Alice around in the first place already.He closed the door gently in case he woke up Alice. The sound of his softly closing the door echoed in the quiet room. Henry had been waiting at the door for a while. When he saw Zayden coming, he greeted him and said, โHello, Mr. Collins.โZayden nodded in response and then said, โThere has been some gossip going around the hotel lately, so please go and take care of it. Donโt let me hear any more of this boring gossip from them.โHe was a little impatient when it came to this matter. All the emp
โSo, what about Alice? You think she is better mother for Max than I am, donโt you?โ Jessica continued to ask, even though she was a little upset.Zayden frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, โYes.โ He thought that sometimes he didnโt always have to tell everyone what he thought. He had always liked to solve most of the problems efficiently, so he would end the conversation by answering in this way.Although Jessica didnโt look happy, she did not continue to ask questions. After leaving Zaydenโs office, Jessica clenched her fists and got into the elevator. She thought that she would have been Zaydenโs wife if it werenโt for Alice.As the elevator doors were about to close, Jessica heard a young man say, โPlease wait!โShe immediately pressed the button. And she thought that she had heard that voice somewhere before. Then she saw a young man walking calmly into the elevator when she looked up.He nodded at her and said, โThank you.โThe moment she saw the
โMom, donโt come over!โ Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.โAlice, you are such a lucky bitch. You have such two wonderful children. I have worked hard my entire life, but now I have nothing in the end,โ Jessica said in an envious tone.โDid you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because heโs your only family?โ At the thought, Alice gently asked โJessica, do you want to meet Gary?โInstead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.โI will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,โ Alice added.โIs Gary really coming back?โโYeah. Heโs doing great this year. He has always get high grades on his test and he is popular school. He is just as smart as you are.โ Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.โHe didnโt want to see me. I tried to talk to him this year, but his maid always mistook me for a beggar and told me get lost.โ Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitorโs uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Elianaโs neck. Eliana had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She could not stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin.Charlotte was so scared that she screamed. Then she immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them, they all stood back and watched.Eliana grabbed the womanโs arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Alice were forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment.However, the woman realized what Eliana was trying to do. She whispered in a husky voice, โDonโt do anything. I will slit your throat if you move one more time. By then your blood will flow like a water flower and you will die tragically.โThe womanโs voice was so husky that it made Eliana feel li
Dominic saw Eliana the moment she walked into the room. He looked at her as if he could not take his eyes off her. Eliana shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat.Ever since Eliana entered the hall, Dominic had been looking at her. He watched her as she walked around the venue and to greet the guests and he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were looking at her as much as he was.Later on, the host asked Eliana and Max to come on the stage. They sang the birthday song together and then catch the multi-tiered cake. Zayden then announced that the party was started.It was not until then that Eliana was free. When she saw him after she left the stage, Eliana moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step into his heart, causing it to beat like a drum.Dominic had been waiting for Eliana to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea
After dinner, Eliana comes back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in the Team Wolf Chat Group. Eliana was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didnโt because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Elianaโs teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat room, but they also mentioned for several times. Eliana was about to go to bed after replying to everyone's message, but the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished her thoughts.Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his familyโs business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.Dominic returned to Rose City this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Eliana didnโt even have ti
After the game was over, the lights in the hall lit up and the host invited two teams onto the stage after congratulating the winners.Max and his parents took a seat in the first row. People around them began to whisper in surprise, and they only stopped when Team Wolf showed up on the stage.The stage was well-lit, but the auditorium was dark, so Eliana had no idea her parents, whom she had not seen in a long time, had arrived on the scene.Standing on this stage, Eliana smiled while waving at the audience. She sparkled like a diamond and nothing seemed to be able to dim her light.Meanwhile, Alice looked at Eliana as if she was her biggest fire. She felt proud of Eliana from the bottom of her heart.Initially, Alice was furious when she learned that Eliana wanted to become an e-sports player. However, she began to regret it after Eliana became a world champion. โIf I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didnโt do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Elianaโs team, the Wolfs would play against a team from another country.Teen Wolf had previously won the world championship twice while their opponent was a dark horse team that had only recently formed. As a result, game lovers from both countries eagerly anticipated this match.At the same time, this was the most crucial match for Eliana since she joined Team Wolf two years ago. She would be a member of the world championship team if she won the game. However, she would lose her best chance to win the World Championship if she lost it. Therefore, Eliana took this match very seriously.Because the Dream High Group was one of the match sponsors, the live room was packed with people Eliana knew. Although ticker prizes had risen to several thousand dollars per person, Max could still obtain tickets for his family.At that moment, Trevor, Maggie, and their children sat in the center of the front row. Da
Henry was very efficient. Two days later, he managed to place the information he had gathered about Dominic on Maxโs desk.Then Max started reading it carefully.Dominic Deleon was Dominic's full name. He was born and grew up in London, and he was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was a politician who once held a high govt position. His grandfather was a successful businessman who owned a large corporation. As for his father, he was a businessman who made the company well.Dominic was the familyโs only child, but he was uninterested in business. He fell in love with e-sports in college and soon signed up with an E-sports company. Later, he made it to one of the best teams in the country and was named captain due to his outstanding performance. He once led his team to a world championship victory.Before moving to Rose City Dominic attended a university in London. However after he fell out with his parents, he transferred to a college in Rose City because several of his teammates
โDo you really want to know about it?โ Dominic asked after some thought.โYes!โ Eliana said.โI might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,โ He said.โWell, Iโm not interested in that anymore.โ Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.โAre you angry?โ Dominic asked.โNo.โโI know you wonโt get angry that easily.โโThatโs because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. Itโs nothing to do with you.โHearing Elianaโs words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. โWell, we are friends now,โ he said.At that time, Charlotte was talking to Kevin and Max was talking to Jason. On the other hand, Max kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Max. The two boys then locked their gaze on each other. Max appeared weary and hostile whereas Dominic didnโt seem to be bothered by Maxโs
Alice nearly fell on her knees and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that Zayden was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Alice and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.โIโm just a doctor. Iโm not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.โ Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. โAre you trying to fool me? Iโm sure you know some special forces! Isnโt Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.โAlice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, โI had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.โโThatโs fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.โZaydenโs gun was in his pocket, but he didnโt have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoriaโs gun remain pressed against Aliceโs temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
