“Do you live here?” Bella asked, eyeing the apartment in the luxurious area.Brandon nodded. “Yes, during my college years. I lived here,” he said.“You can sleep in the guest room. There are three vacant rooms. You can use any room you feel comfortable in,” Brandon said, with his characteristic sweet smile.Bella smiled back. “Thank you, Brandon. You're so kind. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't meet you,” Bella said, her gaze looking sad.Brandon couldn't bear it. He gently stroked Bella's head.“You're like my guardian angel,” Bella continued."Hey, don't say that. I'm your friend. I should help you if you're in trouble," Brandon replied."Consider this your own apartment. There are no rules. It's yours too," he said.Bella just chuckled. It seemed Brandon had never changed. Always cheerful like before. Brandon was her friend from junior high. Back then, they were still very young, and seeing Brandon's appearance now surprised Bella. Brandon had grown into a handsome and galla
When they arrived, Bella quickly opened Julius's car door, already planning to leave. She ran to her room as fast as she could. Bella didn't want to argue with Julius. It felt too tiresome.Unfortunately, Julius could already read what was on Bella's mind. Therefore, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, ran a bit, and then grabbed Bella's wrist."Let go!" Bella said, with a fierce look on her face, moving her hands aggressively. But his grip on her wrist didn't loosen at all. Instead, Bella's hand hurt. 'Tsk! Why does he have to be so strong?!'Julius responded to Bella's tantrum calmly. "Don't scream. Follow me," he said.Julius pulled Bella's arm."Where are you taking me?!" Bella asked. But Julius didn't respond at all."Let go, I said!" Bella said.But she continued to be ignored."LET GO!" she yelled.Because Julius was surprised by the painful cry, her hand was released. Julius immediately stopped walking, as did Bella."Sobs."Julius could hear Bella's crying, and it
Bella just snorted. "Still, that doesn't change my judgment that you had sex with that woman. I even saw you kissing by the pool," she said as she left Anne's room. The atmosphere there was uncomfortable. Stuffy. Maybe because the inhabitant was a woman who also had her eyes on her man.'Her man?' Her cheeks immediately flushed. Bella shook her head.'What am I thinking?' she scolded herself.But then she remembered when Julius defended her and said she was his lover. Bella melted.‘Is he serious?’ That's all Bella could think about now.Meanwhile, Julius, who was still standing in Anne's room, sighed. "Women are complicated," he said.***"I want to apologize, Brandon. I'm really sorry for what happened," Bella said.Right now, Bella was in a park. She took advantage of the time when Julius went out of town. If not, he would never have allowed her. And of course, with Damian.Julius left her with Damian. The man hadn't taken his eyes off Bella the whole time. As if Damian was her bod
She just broke the vanity mirror in her room. Anne had been out of Julius's mansion for weeks. Actually, Julius didn't kick her out at all. The man remained silent. As if he didn't care. But Anne took the initiative to leave. She only took herself, all her clothes, and belongings were still there.Anne just needed to calm down. She must not be reckless. What happened that day shouldn't make her give up. She wanted to take control of all the wealth and power that Julius had."I need to think of another way," Anne seemed to be thinking hard."Who is that woman, actually?"Anne made a phone call. "I want you to find out about someone for me. I'll send you her photo. Give me the details," the woman commanded.Anne sighed deeply. "I'm sure there's a way to make Julius weak. And if that happens, I won't let Julius win again." Anne smirked.The woman appeared gentle and innocent. But in reality, she was a very dangerous woman. No one would know how cruel Anne could be to someone until she go
Bella and Julius's eyes snapped to Julius's phone as it beeped.Damian's name flashed on the screen, prompting Julius to answer immediately."What's the matter?" he demanded, his tone curt."Master, she's back," came the voice on the other end.A flicker of surprise crossed Julius's face. "Hm. Hold on."Ending the call, Julius rose from the bed with a sense of urgency. "Focus on your studies," he instructed Bella, his voice tight with unspoken tension that piqued her curiosity.Without another word, Julius left the room abruptly, likely to meet with Damian. Bella's mind buzzed with questions, but she kept silent, merely nodding in acknowledgment.As much as completing her college assignment was a priority, Bella's curiosity drove her to quietly trail after Julius, eager to unravel the mystery unfolding before her.Anne swept into Julius's mansion with an air of entitlement, disregarding any sense of shame."Miss," Damian's voice cut through the air, his disapproval palpable.Ignoring
Half an hour had passed, and Julius had not stopped receiving calls from several parties who felt aggrieved by the confusing news about him.The stock market of his company immediately plummeted to its lowest price since the company went public."I don't care. Your personal affairs are harming many parties, Mr. Maverick. You need to resolve this immediately," someone on the phone said. This was the umpteenth person to threaten him this morning.Julius sighed deeply. He knew he was in the wrong. So Julius wouldn't deny it at all."Alright, sir. Don't worry, I will fix this immediately. You don't need to worry. I will handle everything to the root."Julius leaned back in his chair. His head was really spinning facing the morning drama."Here, master."Damian showed the photos that were spread on the internet. Julius was really angry. The veins on his forehead were even very visible."Damn it! What is this?! Who edited these cheap photos?!" Clearly, this was fake. Just an edit. Julius di
Anne looked at Bella with hatred in her eyes. Julius and Anne had just arrived. Damian and Bella were there to greet them as well.Bella's gaze was unreadable. There was something she was trying to hide. But Bella knew if Julius understood her gaze. She hoped Julius would come to her. Hug her. Comfort her.But that didn't happen. The man just looked at her coldly."Tsk!" Anne clicked her tongue in annoyance."Why is she still here?!" Anne asked. She acted like a boss.Damian, who was watching, was very annoyed. 'This woman is really rude!' But he remained silent. Showing his smile to Anne. Showing great respect to her."Just leave her. She has nowhere else to go," Julius replied.Bella's heart was truly torn when Julius didn't mind at all when Anne hugged her waist, clinging to him.Her eyes welled up and her tears fell, but Bella immediately wiped them away. She couldn't cry."You've broken up with her, right?" Anne asked. Her lips pursed."Of course. I regret dating her. She's a low
Anne felt like she could die right then and there upon hearing Edrick's name spoken. The door opened, the sound adding to the dramatic impression.Anne thought. Julius lied about bringing Erickhere as a witness. But apparently not at all. Erickreally came! The man stared at her for quite a while before shifting his gaze to others. As if avoiding her."Damn! Why is he here?" Anne glared at her lover. She didn't expect him to come."And how did Julius get his contact?" Anne was truly puzzled!It's as if everything is betraying her now."He is this woman's lover. Anne, he told the media that she is pregnant with my child," Julius said."She's lying. Everything she says is a lie.""LIE!" Anne screamed."SHE'S LYING!" she continued, of course with her heartbreaking sobs to garner sympathy from the guests."That man! I don't know who he is! He's not my lover! Julius paid him to be my lover!" Anne pointed to her real lover."You all know Julius has a lot of money. He can pay anyone! Don't be
