Chapter 34: She's My Girlfriend
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I ran into the garden before finally stopping, placing my hand on my chest as my heart raced with shyness and nervousness. As I tried to calm myself down from Antoninus's words that had accelerated my heartbeat, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Lily!"
Surprised, I turned around to see Ben. He looked visibly more exhausted compared to the last time we met. His cheeks were gaunt, and his eyes had a faint shade of bruised circles. Even his eye bags appeared swollen. Despite his weariness, a smile appeared on his face when he saw me, slightly rejuvenating his appearance.
I smiled back at him, curious as I asked, "You're here for the banquet too?"
Ben let out a wry smile, replying, "Of course, I had to buy a ticket to get in."
"Buy a ticket?"
There were tickets for this banquet?
How did I not know about this?
Seeing my confusion, Ben explained, "Since I didn't receive an invitation, I had to find another way to get in."

Roman suddenly hugged me and claimed I was his girlfriend? I was stunned by this sudden declaration, not knowing how to react in the moment. By the time I regained my senses, I noticed Antoninus glaring at me with anger.I wasn't sure if he had heard Roman's words just now, but he clearly hesitated in his steps for a moment. Then, he changed his direction and headed straight to the center of the event. I could sense that he was truly furious.He must have thought that I had refused to be his companion because of Roman...I wanted to cry out in protest, but Roman continued to hold me tightly in front of Anna, showing off our affection. "I don't know what misunderstanding there is between you and my girlfriend, but I don't want to see you bothering her again tonight," he said to Anna.Anna was just as shocked as I was. She alternated her gaze between Roman and me, her eyes burning with jealousy. Yet, with Roman by my side, she couldn't drop her ladylike fac

The banquet was even later than we had imagined. Marcus actually waited until after 6 pm to make his entrance. He had Antoninus waiting for him for over two hours!I didn't understand the details of their power play, but I was genuinely happy. There were appetizers before dinner if we got hungry, wine and drinks for thirst, soothing music in the background, and the witty and handsome Roman by my side to keep me company. The atmosphere at the banquet was truly enjoyable.However, as I chatted with Roman, something unexpected happened. Lucius also made his grand entrance, dressed to the nines, to join the festivities. He stood with Antoninus and other highly respected individuals, yet his gaze crossed the crowd and landed on me.He grinned at me, a smile laced with malicious provocation.I found his stare irritating and looked away, not wanting to engage.But my gaze unexpectedly shifted to the person standing between Lucius and Antoninus.I'd

Lucius forcefully gripped my jaw to prevent my teeth from biting down on his invading tongue. Anticipating his move, I thrust my foot hard into his toe as he lifted his head. Lucius winced in pain, taking a few steps back and stumbling. Seizing the opportunity while he was off balance, I hurriedly rushed toward the door. Lucius quickly regained his footing and gave chase, grabbing my arm once again... But just as the situation hung on a razor's edge, the door was suddenly pushed open. Mirabelle cautiously entered, holding a plate of rice. "F**k..." Lucius furrowed his brows, muttering a curse under his breath in frustration. At the doorway, Mirabelle's face lit up with surprise and excitement as she looked at me. She asked, "Lily! Have you managed to cure Alice?" Seeing Mirabelle at that moment left me dumbfounded. I couldn't comprehend why she was standing here so innocently. Moreover, I had no clue who this "Alice" she was ref

Was he jealous? I had no clue how to react, so I turned to Antoninus for assistance. Antoninus seemed taken aback by his father's actions too and quickly interjected, "Father!" Tiberius snapped back to reality. He immediately stepped back, and the affection in his gaze vanished, replaced by caution and hostility. "Who are you?" "Lily, Lily Miller." "Lily." Tiberius's emotions shifted once again, but this time, I couldn't decipher what he was thinking. He nodded politely and coldly gestured for me to step aside. "Excuse me, please move." "Oh." I quickly backed away. Tiberius glanced at Antoninus, then briskly walked away, clearly agitated. I was left utterly perplexed, not sure what had just transpired. Antoninus walked over to me, explaining, "Don't be too surprised. The outfit you're wearing today was my mother's favorite." "You mean this pirate costume I'm wearing is something your mother liked?" I asked, eyebrows raised. Antoninus nodded. Having received an explanation fo

Antoninus' kiss fell. But compared to Lucius, his kiss was gentle. As I took his kiss, I smelled his rich wine... When I came back to God, I found that I actually took the initiative to cater to his kiss. But Antoninus clearly craves more. He's got me on my desk. My feet hung in the air, and I had to lift my legs around his sturdy waist. And his hot hand went over my thigh and up. He's unbuttoning my shirt. I finally got a little nervous, quickly pushed him away and begged, "Mr. President..." My eyes were still misty and my lips were still wet and glistening. After seeing Antoninus' lustful eyes as he couldn't swallow me in one gulp, I realized I might be tasty. But! I'm not having sex with him here. At the very least, I don't want to give my body to an unconscious drunk. Antoninus sensed my resistance, looked down at me for a moment, and then leaned down again. My instinct is to struggle. He just buried his chin in my neck and said hoarsely, "Don't move." Let me hold

"I'm sorry..."I didn't understand why Antoninus was in my room. But I was caught off guard and hastily pulled my leg back, choking on my words."It's fine," Antoninus said calmly.His alcohol haze seemed to have cleared, and he reverted to that indifferent expression he always wore, seemingly unaffected by everything.As my senses returned, a hint of irritation grew within me. Why was it fine? Who gave him the right to sneak into my room while I was taking a shower?Under the cover of darkness, I shot him a fierce glare. He, however, nonchalantly rolled over and lay next to me again.I was frustrated. I shook him awake with force, unable to stop myself from reminding him, "Antoninus, Mirabelle has already gone home...""So?" he replied."So, there's no need for you to sleep in the same room as me."Furthermore, his father, Tiberius, had made it clear that he was not allowed to sleep with me anymore.I wasn't too

"Just building a cabin?"Antoninus's voice was cold, "Do you think that's an easy task? Have you considered issues like lighting? Structural load-bearing, windproofing, insulation, material selection, or even maintenance and termite prevention after construction?"Um... I guess I haven't considered those things.I lowered my head guiltily.Antoninus then pulled out a few books from the stack and spread them out in front of me, saying, "Start with these. Remember, always be prepared before you start anything, instead of rushing in impulsively only to give up halfway. Understood?""Okay, okay, you don't need to say anymore. I'll start reading!"He seemed like he wanted to say more, but I just couldn't bear to listen.I'm not Chris, why does he always treat me like a child in need of guidance?Even if I mess up, I can just fix it. It's not a big deal.I took a deep breath and reluctantly opened the book he handed me.

Back in my room, I began redrawing the blueprint based on Antoninus's design. Even though I was adding interior details and furniture within his framework, I was still filled with joy. But when I took the sketch and headed back to the "construction site," I realized there was someone else here?A tall, slender man was inspecting the wooden stakes that had been hammered into the ground. Was it Tiberius? He hadn't left the estate!I hesitated, unsure whether I should turn back. However, Tiberius suddenly spoke, "Vibia always wanted a cabin. Small, yet warm and cozy, away from the hustle and bustle. Just the two of us living inside."Was he talking to me? I glanced around, confirming that there was no one else here. I reluctantly approached, trying to engage in conversation. "And what happened later?""I let her down." Tiberius lightly tapped the wooden stake, his expression a mix of joy and sorrow. "I never fulfilled her wish, even until her death."

Once the hype is over, it's time to start preparing for our roving pitch. The first presentation was downtown. It's where the last parade was. Only this time it wasn't Antoninus in armor on the stage, it was me. He didn't show up, so I, the president's personal secretary, had to deliver his campaign message instead. I don't know much about Antoninus' politics, but at least I know what he did, and I have something to say about it. I don't know if the advertisements all over the street played a role, and when I took the stage to preach, the audience came to be particularly large. I even saw a lot of professional reporters and cameras standing in the audience. Good flow of propaganda, actually made a press conference sense. The dark camera came over, and I panicked for a while. However, I was more disturbed by the questions they asked. "How do you and the president know each other?" 'What? I suspect I misheard. But then someone asked, "I hear you and the president have a son

"Boss, I might need a favor from you." I said."No problem, go ahead."I said, "Antoninus's campaign has been delayed for a while, and I was hoping you could help us out."'Of course you can!Blake grinned and patted me on the shoulder, but sure enough, he was looking down and rubbing his hands. "But... You know, Lily, we don't do this kind of propaganda at this paper. So I'm afraid I can't help you directly. How about I give you the contact information of some of my colleagues, and you go find them?"I knew this was gonna happen.I sighed and stepped aside.Lucius, who was behind me, stepped forward and expertly pressed Blake down on the table, sneering, "Repeat what you just said?"Blake's face turned white. "You... Who are you? Lily! How could you do that?! I'll call security in!"I gave him a faint glance. 'Bark.'"I... Help me! Get me someone now! Security guard!"Just as he spoke, the door was pushed

"Antoninus lost? What do you mean?" I asked him.Lucius replied vaguely, "The day you were taken by Roman, my duel with him ended." Four out of seven, I won.""Not two out of three?"lucius replied uncomfortably, "Never mind a few games, I won anyway.""Well," I said, "it's none of my business. It's just a game. I don't care if you win or lose.""You don't care about the result?""Of course not."A kid takes a game like that seriously!Lucius snorted, "That's what I thought."He stretched out and asked, "Do you have any food here? I'm a little hungry."He did not regard himself as a stranger at all, and had begun to dig in the refrigerator.Two people in a bunker suddenly burst into a dozen people, just preparing the ingredients can be exhausting.Fortunately, they were not idle, rushing to help wash vegetables and cut meat, almost pushed the table over.Even the meal was noisy.The fir

“Be careful!” I rushed to shield David behind me.Draw my gun.Aim.The dark figures gradually rose to their feet.They looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly shouted my name: "Lily?"This voice?Is it the Salamanders?I looked at the men in surprise as they came out of the shadows one by one.It was them.And the tall figure in the distance who was waving a crowbar to greet me was the bear."Why are you here?" I was pleasantly surprised.They were visibly agitated, too: "We're coming to save you.""But how did you find me?"I can't get any signal out of here.Did they call in satellite surveillance? Or infrared tracking?"No, no, none of that. The salamander vendor said, "We have the drawings, look at the coordinates and find it."The blueprints?I looked back at David. Didn't he say the drawings were gone?So, salamander, where did the

“What's that noise?”I instinctively stood still and looked warily into the cave.David smiled and explained, "Don't worry, it's just some... Music in the background. Surely a dark cave needs some monsters, doesn't it?" 'What do you mean? I looked at him in even more shock. "Don't tell me you've been genetically modifying animals."Could it be that the depths of the cave are visiting cages stacked with animals, and the cages are filled with mutated monsters with hideous faces?Judging by his uncle's crazy ideas, it's not impossible.But David waved his hand and denied my guess: "This is a shelter. Not an outdoor adventure park. How could I really put some monsters in here? You may rest assured that you are perfectly safe here. ""So what was that sound?""I don't know..." David scratched his head and looked puzzled, "These are all audio files I downl

I looked at Antoninus on the screen and asked anxiously, "Does he have a good chance of reelection?""I don't know."I looked back in doubt.With all this surveillance, it's kind of bullying for him to say he didn't know.But David doesn't seem to know.He raised an eyebrow innocently and explained, "Well, his approval ratings are very high and he should have a good shot at re-election.""But?"But he doesn't seem to be running anymore."'Why?I was surprised. "Where did you get that information?"I know all about Antoninus. How could a workaholic totalitarian like him give up the presidency?David was still clueless: "Maybe it's you?""Me?"I'm not sure. Well, that's certainly the case according to the surveillance results. He spends half his time at his desk working and half looking at your pictures.""Oh," he said.My heart beat faster, but my face pretended not to care, "Then

"How can this be..." I know I'm not tied tight.I seriously doubt he strangled his hands like that on purpose.Sure enough, he looked up at me innocently again, his blue blue eyes blinking and blinking."All right," I said, "I'll untie you, but you have to give me a gun!""I don't have a gun.""Do you expect me to believe that?"I don't think a guy with his paranoid, cautious personality wouldn't have a few guns stashed around here."Say it! Where is the gun?"He smiled brightly again: "Under your bed, the floor closest to the wall is pry up.""Very good."I looked where he said, and sure enough I found two pistols under the floor.With a weapon in my hand and some relief, I unseated him from his chair.He still looked at me with a big smile. "You're not afraid I have a gun somewhere else.""Not afraid. One is enough for me."Shoot him or shoot yourself, but I won't give him another cha

For the next few days, I just stayed in my room.I cooked for David every day, watched TV with him, and even chatted with him until late at night.Because I wanted him to let his guard down early, hoping he'd forget to close the door one time he left.But I really underestimated him.The man was indeed introverted and timid, but he was also sensitive and cautious, like a rabbit, a scheming rabbit with a soft exterior but a dark belly.He locked the door when he entered the room and made sure I was standing at least three metres away when he opened and closed the door.I think it's gonna take a few months before he's completely unwary of me.I can't afford to wait that long.I can't stand the fact that he provides me with everything I need to live here, like food, like clothes, including my underwear.I even had to give him my underwear to change.I'm really gonna go crazy if this keeps going on.Might as we

"Well..." I nodded, as Antoninus had told me.Tiberius did all he could to restore the glory of his family, even though it drove his wife away and killed his only daughter.David sees that my face is fine and continues: "Mr Tibeirus chooses a quicker way to have a baby as soon as possible. One that doesn't require much cooperation from the president." .I probably guessed what he was going to say, and I bowed my head and listened.David said: "His father found a surrogate for him. That's you, isn't it?""That's right." I freely admitted, "I did have a child with him.""Chris. That's the name, isn't it?"I heard him say Chris's name and raised my eyebrows at him. "He's just a kid! What are you investigating him for?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing my anger, David awkwardly began to wring his fingers, "I didn't mean to hurt him." I just feel sorry for you... I mean, innocent.""It's not something you should take on," he sa
