Alice had been very aloof towards him in the last few days. Finally, Zayden couldn’t keep his cool for much longer. It was the first time that he found himself completely out of control.Instead of remaining calm and composed, he grew enraged and made rough love to her. Even though he knew it would harm Alice disappointed and harmed their relationship.Zayden panicked after they had sex because he noticed how upset and desperate Alice looked. Just as he was pulling the quilt over her, he heard her say dully, “Is that what you want? Zayden are you happy now?”Zayden’s hand trembled as he held the corner of the quilt. He hung his hand in the air for a long time before attempting to place it on her shoulder.“Don’t touch me! Go away!” She snarled as Zayden’s palm touched her face.Alice said it with her teeth clenched. Her face was pale as if she was exhausted. She trusted Zayden so much that she believed he was her soul mate and the love of her life. So, she never imagined that Zayden w
“Max is your brother.”The dim streetlight shone on Alice as she cried aloud while holding Eliana.Three days later, Alice went to the HR office again to turn in her resignation letter. The employee looked at Alice in surprise and said, “I am sorry Miss Brown. But we can’t let you resign. As you know you are suspended form work. So, you have to wait for the hotel…”“I will sue the company if they don’t let me go.”Alice simply cut her off. The employee couldn’t help but be frightened by Alice's expressionless face.“No matter what you will say, this is my resignation letter. Since I have given it to you, I am resigning, whether you allow it or not.”As soon as she finished, Alice walked out of the room without saying another word. The employee could do nothing but look blankly at her back.“Alice, is this the end? You really don’t want to work anymore?” Maggie asked Alice after she got into the car.Alice buckled her seat belt and raised her eyebrows. She replied, “I sent out my resum
“Only Alice can change you,” echoed Zayden’s mind.Trevor gradually calmed down and then sat back on his chair. He glared coldly at Zayden and said, “Only Alice broke all your boundaries and changed your principles, and she even made you doubt yourself. She is the first gray zone you have encountered in your life. Juts admit it, Zayden, you can’t live without her anymore.”Zayden frowned. Trevor had just said exactly what he was thinking, making him feel uncomfortable. So he glared at Trevor and said coldly, “Stop staying in my company and get your ass back to yours.”Then, he left the conference room straight away.Trevor rubbed his chin and smiled teasingly, thinking Zayden was so stubborn!Zayden had too much of a smooth life over the past thirty years. Even though his parents hadn’t gotten along, it hadn’t done him much harm. He was always the coolest kid in the school. However, After his father’s death, he lost the only tenderness and joy he had.At Zayden’s father’s funeral, Zay
Alicia froze as Alice hit her, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. When she looked up, everyone saw clear red fingerprints on the left side of her face.She trembled and covered her face, looking at Alice as if she couldn’t believe that she would do that. She said, “How dare you hit me, Alice!”“I slapped you for Dad! Dad is still in the operating room, for God’s sake! When Dad wakes up, I hope you will apologize to him.”Alicia’s heart thudded, and she bit her lower lip. She remembered that she had just gotten so angry that she had accidentally said that Dad was going to die. She didn’t expect Alice to remember that and won’t let it go.“We are in a hospital now, and the operating room is right here! If you want to cry and make a scene, get out and fool yourself wherever you want. But, if you want to stay, juts shut the fuck up!” Alice said. Her voice was low, but her every word was firm and assertive.Alicia looked furious. She tried to break free of Oliver’s gri
“Back then, when she went to a nightclub one day, she got drunk, slept with a man, and got knocked up. She gave birth to her daughter without knowing who the father was. And she left for America without even telling us just to keep it as a secret. Also, she stayed there for six years.”“She didn’t even call us once. You know, at that time, Alice didn’t graduate from college and didn’t have a job. But she was living very comfortably there. So, you can imagine why,” Alicia said viciously.Zayden became discontent. He asked, “So, why should I believe you?”“Of course, you may not believe me. But you can check this thing out by yourself. She was a medical student at a good university, so she could have a perfect job and a promising future. But why did she leave in such a hurry? Yet, if she was doing well in America, why did she come back? Well, I guess it was because the person who gave her money there broke up with her. She didn’t have money, so she came back to ask us for money. Zayden
Zayden clicked on the email he received from Henry, and then he saw some photos. The first photo was a marriage certificate with two signatures with the date on the bottom, and the second one was the current marriage status of a U.S. citizen. Also, there were some family photos.There was a resume attached, and it belonged to a man called Damian Wilson. He graduated from Y University and became a famous designer. Also, it only took him three years to make his start-up clothing company public. Later, he was the head of a Fortune 500-listed group. It was an impressive resume.Even Zayden had to admit that this man was very outstanding. But what upset Zayden was that Alice and Damian were together before Damian became successful. They married in the U.S. on Valentine’s Day four years ago.Zayden couldn’t find any other reason why she married this man except the fact that they loved each other and to this day, they hadn’t divorced.The room was quiet, and Zayden could hear the water dripp
It had been raining heavily for several days in a row, and the rain washed the whole city clean. So, in the morning after the rain, even the air was refreshing and light. Unfortunately, it only lasted a short time. It was noon soon after the sun rose. After that, the city was immersed once more in the endless slumber and summer.Trevor locked himself in his house for several days. Every day, the maid would go to his house to clean it. By the fifth day, she finally couldn’t stand the foul smell coming from the bedroom anymore. So, she called Nancy Davis, Trevor’s sister.“Hey, Trevor!” Nancy walked straight inside the house after she opened the door.Trevor lived in a two-flat apartment. The door on the second floor was sealed to make it an open bedroom, while the first floor was the living room. Nancy was there when the house was under construction. As she hoped, the apartment was elegant and pretty in a refreshing way.When Nancy saw the neat doorway, she praised in her heart that th
Breakups are usually too brutal to watch. Moreover, Alice felt embarrassed to stand around and watch while they were breaking up. So, Alice immediately flipped out of the side of the pavilion and ran away.As she escaped there, the last words she heard were from Trevor. He said, “Maggie, let’s just pretend that nothing happened these days, okay? Can we just stay the same as before?”Alice was surprised. Trevor was the biggest playboy in town, and he had dated almost half the women there. But he would make others sympathize with him if he became serious about his relationship.Alice didn’t expect Trevor to be willing to back off after all that had happened. He even wished he could go back in time and pretend he had never proposed to her or been rejected by her.“I am afraid I can’t. I am sorry Trevor, but I have had enough of fooling around,” Maggie responded.So, messing around was not just a right of men.****Alice drove Maggie back to her studio when it was dark.“Alice, I am fine.
“Mom, don’t come over!” Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.“Alice, 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,” Jessica said in an envious tone.‘Did you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because he’s your only family?’ At the thought, Alice gently asked “Jessica, do you want to meet Gary?”Instead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.“I will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,” Alice added.“Is Gary really coming back?”“Yeah. He’s 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.” Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.“He didn’t 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.” Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitor’s uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Eliana’s 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 woman’s 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, “Don’t 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.”The woman’s 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 didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Eliana’s 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 family’s 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 didn’t 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. ‘If I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didn’t do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Eliana’s 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 Max’s 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 family’s 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
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.“Yes!” Eliana said.“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,” He said.“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore.” Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.“No.”“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It’s nothing to do with you.”Hearing Eliana’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we are friends now,” 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 didn’t seem to be bothered by Max’s
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.“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.” Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.”Alice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.”“That’s fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.”Zayden’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoria’s gun remain pressed against Alice’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
