“Wow!” Alya exclaimed, her eyes widening in awe as she stared at the skyscraper in front of her. The building was the tallest one she had ever seen and she craned her neck to see the top but all she saw was that the building disappeared into the clouds. Alina stood next to her, snickering while David only sighed.

He had followed Jason’s instructions and brought them shopping at one of the malls Jason owned. All throughout the ride, Alya had pointed at places and asked him about them which was quite an arduous task. The girl was excited about every little thing as if she had seen them for the first time. She was even about to jump into a manhole to check what it was but David and Alina had to pull her away with great difficulty.

Alya was now staring at all the high fashioned people who were entering the mall. She gap

With the largest pillarless hall in the country, it was the perfect place for the fashion show.As soon as Jason entered the large lobby, he was welcomed by several of the staff members. All of them knew who he was and paid extra attention to his needs.“Welcome, Mr. Cho,” the concierge greeted him. “You reservation with Ms. Walter has been booked on the eighth floor.”“Is she here yet?” Jason asked.“Yes,” the concierge replied.

    Jason pulled back, making Stephenie purr. They were only beginning to deepen their kiss when Jason felt his heart go cold. It was not simply an emotion nor a brief, fleeting feeling. He literally felt that his heart had become cold to the point that his chest was beginning to cool.“What happened?” Stephenie asked seductively. She ran a finger up his arm. “Why did you pull out? You wanna go someplace more private?”“No, it’s not that…”Jason frowned at the phenomenon that had occurred. This was unusual. He had never heard of the heart becoming icy like this and even if it did, the feeling should have killed him. Instead, the coolness in his chest was increasing as if it was literally turning him into ice. He clutched his

    Adrian checked Alya’s vitals while the rest of the group stood outside. Jason had instructed David to take Alina home but the little girl protested and threatened that she would not eat if she was sent back. Seeing how determined she was, he had to resign to her demands. She was now seated on a bench while Jason was pacing to and fro.“This woman sure is a troublemaker,” he sighed.“It’s your fault anyway,” Alina muttered but Jason did not hear it. Now that they were at the hospital and the girl was being treated, his rational thoughts were returning. He was wondering why Alya did not inform him about any pre-existing heart condition. It was not like he would have thrown her out but the people in the mansion would have been more careful. Maybe the long shopping trip had tired her out and was too mu

    “I’ll give you all a moment alone,” Maxwell’s Secretary said and backed away from the room.Jason’s mouth gaped open but before he could say anything, Maxwell pushed his grandson out of the way and studied Alina very carefully. He peered at her carefully. The little girl stared back at him. She had the same jet black hair as Jason and her eyes were the same shape as Jason’s…“Grandfather, it’s not what you think-” Jason began but Maxwell turned around and to everyone’s surprise, began to beat his grandson with the walking stick.“OW!” Jason protested as he dodge the old man’s attacks. “What the hell are you doing you old man?”

  • Pearl of his Heart   Night at the Hospital

    Both Jason and Alya were shocked at the bold little girl. The second condition had rattled Jason to the core while Alya was inwardly delighted. Ever since Alya had told her about the pearl incident, Alina had done some digging on the internet. Even though mermaids were considered to be mythical creatures, there were many lores on them. One of the famous lores talked about a mermaid who lived hundreds of years ago and had given away her pearl to a human. When the human betrayed her and fell in love with someone else, the mermaid began to experience constant pain in the heart until one day, her one year was over and she disappeared into the sea. Ever since Alya suffered the heart attack, Alina suspected that it was because her uncle had been fooling around with someone else. Now that they had him under their thumb, it w

  • Pearl of his Heart   Story Time

    “Repeat it again after me,” Jason gritted as he pressed the ice pack against his eye. “I’ll never keep the door unlocked while changing clothes,” Alya parroted. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to fling herself into the ocean. The moment Jason unexpectedly walked in and saw her topless, she punched him on an instinct. She could not even control herself when she did that. Thankfully, the heart attack had temporarily decreased her strength so her punch did not hurt him as much as it should have. But he was knocked out for a good twenty minutes. When Jason’s doctor friend, Adrian, heard the story, he laughed so hard that he had to excuse himself for a while. Jason finally regained consciousness and Alya had to listen to a long rant. It was a good thing that she was wearing a bra inside, otherwise he would have seen

It was surrounded by vast greenery and an electrical fence encircled it. Stretching across several acres, the mansion gloriously stood at its spot like the palace of a king. Its white walls shone under the dim rays of the rising sun and an impressive European style architecture made it a unique home to the ones living inside it.But for the boy living in the mansion, it was merely a brick and mortar building. For him, his home lay elsewhere and he was going to visit it at that very moment.He did not sleep all night but was thinking of the promise he made to her. Was she going to come?

Why aren’t you at school?”

Colorful flowers were blooming all around the family which was standing next to a pair of graves with a shared tombstone. Despite the nice weather, the family was solemn as they paid their respects. The tombstone had a writing on it:“Here lies Sheila and Charles Wang. Loving parents and good people. Date 19XX to 20XX”Max dabbed his eyes, lamenting the loss of his granddaughter and her husband.

She was heavily sedated; Jenna’s beating had caused her arm to be fractured.“Alya...sis…” she mumbled.“I’m here.”The girl’s eyes flung open and she was delighted to see that Alya was there with her.“You’re here…” she whispered, reaching out for Alya.

    Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered. Cain was suspicious but he did not ask anything else. He had filled in Jason about what happened at the Tang mansion that morning and even though Jason was tense, he was also worried about Maxwell.“Looks like grandfather took this well,” he muttered.“Well, he never really liked my mother in the first place so he wasn’t too sad seeing her leave,” Cain remarked. They were now about to leave the main city but the factory was st

    Jason pulled up in front of a restaurant when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation in his heart.“Agh!” he winced when his chest became cold. He was gasping for breath and closed his eyes to lay his head on the steering wheel.“What the hell?” he muttered. “Why is that sensation happening again?”He touched his heart and it was colder than the earlier attacks. Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered. He was so engrossed in his pain that he did not notice a familiar Maybach pulling up behind his car. There was a knock on his window and to his surprise, it was Cain.

A small dockyard was situated at the end of the place where a few ships were anchored.The workers had gone home for the day because the sun was setting. The gloomy clouds hovered in the sky, indicating that it was going to rain that night. Monty looked around for Jenna and finally spotted her standing a few meters away.

    Malorie quietly followed Cain to the patio and waited for him to talk. He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you. We could have worked something out.”“I wanted to find our child first,” she replied in a small tone. “If I had told you, she might have gotten alerted and killed Billy. I couldn’t take the risk.”Cain stared at her for a while before sighing. “We’re both idiots,” he muttered. “We talk about being on our own but in the end, we let my parents manipulate us…”Malorie was staring at her fingers, unable to understand what to do. So many things had happened and it was going too fast.

Despite the setback with the wedding, she was now more determined to match Cain up with someone even more influential than Jenna.“Mrs. Wang, I hear that your daughter Catherine is coming back to town!” Dahlia was saying. They were sitting in the living room, sipping tea and having cakes.
