Roman sighed, "Lily, do you know? Sometimes, I really envy Antoninus."

"Why would you envy him?"

Roman didn't answer. Lately, he seemed to enjoy playing the silent game.

I could sense that beneath his sunny demeanor, there was a cloud of hidden turmoil. I thought he might open up about his concerns, but after those words I couldn't hear, he didn't speak much about anything else.

Until he brought me to a nearby island.

As we disembarked, Marcus stood on the beach. His smile was as usual, but his eyes were bloodshot. I couldn't tell if it was from exhaustion or anger. Either way, this version of him was a bit unsettling.

Marcus approached politely, helping me off the boat. "We meet again, Miss Lily."

I asked, "So, what's your purpose in bringing me here?"

"Of course, I wanted to ask you to continue being a messenger."

"Alright, what's your message?"

"Tell Antoninus, I'm willing to cooperate with him. I agree to shar

    "No, we still need to wait," Antoninus said. "Marcus needs to make more significant concessions.""But what about the workers?" I couldn't help but worry. "Will the people occupying the mine harm them?""No," Antoninus assured me. "They are just laying siege, not hurting anyone.""But a siege can also be dangerous."I relayed Marcus's words to him, but Antoninus just raised an eyebrow, seemingly unfazed.I grew frustrated. "The workers will be in danger if they're trapped in the mine for too long! Even Marcus is concerned for them. How can you stand by and watch them be trapped?""No, he's just using you. Marcus never cares about them. These local people are just his expendables. He can replace them as soon as they're used up. What he cares about are the experts and engineers he brought from Europe. Pressure has been mounting on him from that side.""Oh." I flopped onto the bed, feeling irritated. "I hate you guys.""Hmm?"

    Antoninus went off to handle work, leaving just me in the room. Glancing at the time, I realized it was Chris's lunch break, so I decided to give him a video call."Mom!" Chris exclaimed joyfully as soon as he saw me.His classmates also gathered around to say hello, but Chris covered the screen and shooed them away, looking annoyed.I chuckled at the lively scene before me; kids were always full of energy. It's just that the teachers bore the brunt of it.Chris's teacher, William, was tidying up the books on his desk, looking exhausted and resigned. He appeared as though he had just finished teaching 800 students, although Chris's elite school had only 8 students per class.Curious, I asked Chris with a suppressed smile, "So, why did you manage to upset your teacher again?""No one upset him," Chris replied. "He just doesn't know the answers to our questions.""Really? He's that clueless? What kind of questions were you asking?"

    I looked around warily, but I didn't spot any suspicious individuals. Roman tried to reassure me, "Maybe you mistook it. It wasn't camera lights just now; it was probably car headlights."Hearing his explanation, I stopped overthinking it.After he helped me apply the concealer, I looked in the mirror.Perfect.My neck had regained its previous clean and fair appearance, as if it were a freshly finished plaster sculpture, every inch of skin concealed thoroughly.Roman kept his promise, and I dropped my guard against him.We went to the night market together. Roman told me he had volunteered around this area during his college days, so he was familiar with everything here. He led me to a stall selling scarves.The stall owner was an elderly person in their sixties or seventies, with weathered skin. They appeared kind and honest.I gazed at the scarves on his stall, each with different colors and patterns, and couldn't help but a

    I sat on the bed, glaring fiercely at Antoninus. But due to my intense emotions, tears unexpectedly welled up in my eyes.Antoninus, who had initially furrowed his brow, lowered it further. "Why are you crying?""Who's crying?!" I retorted angrily, but the next moment, tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably.Both of us froze for a moment.I hurriedly raised my arm to wipe my tears away, but they kept flowing, as if they wanted to drain away all the grievances I'd suffered during this time. But... why did they have to come at this moment? Just a second ago, I was defiantly arguing with him...Anyway, regardless of the situation, it seemed like Antoninus was taken aback by my reaction. He poked my shoulder and handed me a tissue."If I said something wrong just now, then I apologize. Anyway, stop crying for now."I angrily slapped the tissue onto the ground. Did he really think I was crying over something sad? These were purely ph

    In the morning sun, I slowly woke up.I opened my eyes and found that my body had already been covered with a quilt.The tingling between my legs told me that what had happened last night was not a dream.I actually had a physical relationship with Antoninus...This is just too bad.I mean, I do have a soft spot for Antoninus.And I liked how he was in bed last night.Although he is poor in bed skills, he is gentle and considerate, and will take care of and soothe my emotions.Also, his waist is very powerfulAll in all, it was an unforgettable evening.But I still feel a lot of worry.Because I hate this kind of unplanned unexpected events, it often means some kind of balance upset and broken.I had to re-evaluate my relationship with Antoninus.Who am I to him now?Friends? A lover? A lover, or just a sexual partner?I gave Antoninus a rueful look.As usual, he sat by th

    Recalling the passionate scenes from last night, I couldn't help but blush slightly. "It's alright," I said. After all, what did regret matter when everything had already happened?"Raise your hand," I continued, helping him take off his clothes. But he still stared at me with a complex expression. "Perhaps today, you could make a public appearance with me.""Let's forget about that," I replied.Why would I want to make a public appearance with him?I had no interest in being the First Lady.Increased exposure wouldn't be good for either of us. Maintaining the status quo was just fine.Despite his occasional dominance, bossiness, and unreasonable behavior, I didn't dislike him.Moreover, he was quite handsome.As for his physique, there was no room for criticism. He had no excess fat, and his muscles were not exaggerated or veiny.He had a balanced and slender figure.Like an elf fallen from Middle-earth, a perfec

    "For safety," Antoninus explained."We need others to know where we're going today. The more people who know, the safer we are."I certainly understood the reasoning behind it. If everyone saw us entering Marcus's farm, then in case of any unexpected events, the first person suspected would be Marcus. This way, Marcus would certainly not dare to harm us without consequences.But...I couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you wait for me to get in the car first before making such a fuss?"Now, with such a spectacle, how was I supposed to get in?So many people were watching!Antoninus calmly said, "You are my exclusive journalist. Riding in the same car with me isn't unusual.""But...""No 'buts.' Change your clothes and get in the car."His tone brooked no argument, so I reluctantly returned to the wardrobe.I picked out the most conservative, professional-looking women's suit from the closet and carefull

    Antoninus's words caught Marcus off guard. Marcus turned pale, raised an eyebrow, and after a moment, nodded with a twitch of his lips, "Of course.""Thank you," Antoninus politely thanked him and then returned the baby lion to me. I hurriedly accepted the lion and gave him a glare. After all, it was still a young animal, and he had been tossing it around like a toy. But then again, he had let four-year-old Chris ride a horse by himself. It seemed that, in his eyes, even cubs were made of steel.While I was soothing the poor baby lion, a person in the distance began approaching us. It was Roman, who had taken Antoninus's convoy earlier. He walked directly to Marcus and whispered something to him.I pursed my lips, my eyebrows furrowing deeper. He seemed to be even more subservient to Marcus than Eric was by Antoninus's side. It was evident that he was Marcus's right-hand man in running this animal farm, which used hunting wild animals as its main attraction.

    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...
