"Stop it," Elijah whispered into her ear. "I just wanted to take a few pictures of you."

Liesel extended her hand, and Elijah handed over his phone without hesitation. The photo showed Liesel in quiet solitude. Her side profile was radiant yet touched with a faint trace of melancholy.

"Who's this stunning beauty? If no one claims her, she's mine." Elijah chuckled. "It'd be even better if this beauty could smile more. Do you think she could grant me one? I'll make it my phone wallpaper."

Raising an eyebrow, she held up the phone and activated the front camera. She tilted herself slightly into Elijah's embrace. The camera captured them with a subtle air of intimacy.

The warm yellow light in the distance added a soft glow that accentuated their features.

Liesel obliged when he requested a picture for his wallpaper. She always had a soft spot for indulging her beloved.

Elijah's heart warmed at the gesture, and he instinctively tightened his embrace, pulling her closer. He b

    Chelsea was trying to mess with Tobey again. Tobey knew Chelsea's tricks inside and out. Coincidentally, he had a weakness for it. They stood close enough for him to see himself reflected in Chelsea's mischievous eyes. It was almost as if she was falling for him. But Tobey wasn't naive. Behind that deep gaze was a cold, calculating heart. His throat tightened slightly. While it was a balcony, it was fixed with air conditioning that blew cold wind to keep the guests comfortable. The breeze carried Chelsea's sweet scent with it. "I just had some candy. Want a taste?" Every word and every movement felt deliberate, like a trap carefully set to reel him in. She leaned closer. Tobey froze when her face grew too close. Chelsea's eyes sparkled with amusement as she cupped his face. Tobey frowned and leaned back but Chelsea pouted. She leaned in even closer."I want a kiss." She was relentless. When Tobey stopped resisting, she lit up like a child and leaned in. She brushed h

    Chelsea certainly knew how to redirect attention. One moment, her words were drenched in teasing allure, but in the next, she would retreat just enough and take on the guise of an obedient figure. Her eyes fixed on him as if the entire universe reflected in them was solely his. Tobey paused. He was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. The name "Yvette" lit up the screen. Yvette was the nation's sweetheart and one of the hottest stars of the moment. Chelsea had caught Tobey's attention because of her slight resemblance to Yvette. Yvette was Tobey's childhood friend. Chelsea's eyes darkened, but her lips held their gentle curve as if waiting for Tobey to take the call. He answered it. Chelsea watched him soothe another woman with a voice as soft as a caress. She seemed indifferent, yet her sharp, unreadable eyes carried a chill. When Tobey hung up, his gaze flicked back to her. Chelsea put on a pouty expression. His sharp features tightened. The warmth fro

    Tobey grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked her sharply toward him. He threatened her with a low voice, "Chelsea, enough with your little games." She had brought Yvette up on purpose.He knew Chelsea was smart, calculating, and ruthlessly vengeful. Anyone who crossed her would find themselves torn to pieces by her claws. Tobey understood all that, but he rarely intervened. He didn't care how aggressive she was with the world outside. As long as she wasn't the one being wronged, he could turn a blind eye. After all, this wild creature was tethered by a leash he had personally fastened around her neck. She could lash out anywhere else, but not here. In the end, he blamed himself. He was the one who had spoiled her, after all. Chelsea winced as his rough grip tugged painfully at her scalp, but she didn't cry out. Instead, her lips curled into a smile—one that was sharp and icy. Tobey bore into her with undisguised contempt. He saw right through her antics. He couldn'

    The balcony doors had been locked long ago under Tobey's orders. His icy gaze hardened as he pinned Chelsea onto the wooden bench. Despite being held down with such force, Chelsea's breathy laughter filled the air. One moment, she was every inch the seductive temptress, and the next, she started adopting the unmistakable mannerisms of Yvette. She toyed with him to stoke his fury. Her lips brushed his ear as she whispered, "Doesn't this make it more exciting, Tobey?" When Tobey crushed her lips with his own, Chelsea wrapped her arms around him. She looked soft, but her eyes were cold. Chelsea was merciless. Since she couldn't fully pay Tobey back just yet, she'd drag him down with her, ensuring neither of them found peace. She relished seeing his hesitation when her movements mimicked Yvette's. It stopped him cold, forcing him to order her to drop the act. She would coo soft apologies to ease his tension just enough, only to pull the same stunt again moments later.The t

    Liesel bit her lip. Her thoughts were racing. Suddenly, she realized something was off—the muffled noises from outside had disappeared entirely.Chelsea and Tobey were gone. "Elijah, there's no one out there anymore!" She raised her voice at Elijah.Elijah finally raised his head, straightened up, and brushed his lips against hers again while pulling her into his arms. "Sorry, I got a little too caught up to notice." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the woman in his embrace. Liesel's body felt soft against his, her delicate features flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and lingering frustration. It was all because of him. A sly grin crept across his face. Elijah couldn't help the warmth spreading in his chest. He dipped his head for another kiss, but they were interrupted by a sudden voice. "Mr. Elijah? You're here too?" Elijah reacted instantly, pulling Liesel closer and tucking her face into his chest. Her hair had fallen loose, cascading over her shoulders and

    "Lili, I'm still waiting," Elijah teased. He raised an eyebrow and flashed her a crooked smile as he extended his hand again. Liesel glanced down at his well-defined hand. His long, slender fingers seemed elegant. Slowly, she placed her hand in his, and he tugged her closer to the railing.Elijah released her hand and placed both of his on her waist, effortlessly lifting her. Liesel instinctively bent her knees, helping him as she swung over the railing. But as she came down, she stumbled forward and landed squarely against his chest. Elijah stood firmly on the ground and caught her with ease. Her palms pressed against his shoulders for balance. Her face had lightly bumped against his chest just now, and she caught a whiff of his scent. It made her dizzy, and she flushed.The warmth of Elijah's hands on her waist seemed to burn through the fabric of her dress. Without warning, he slid them onto her bare back and pressed them directly against her skin. Liesel trembled at his

    Liesel found Elijah's personality to be full of contradictions. At times, he seemed like a carefree playboy, but sometimes he would show the refined manners of a gentleman. He could be thoughtful and attentive one moment, only to turn around and tease her the next. That complexity made him feel real to her. She could tell that Elijah was showing her parts of him that he didn't reveal to others. He was quietly inviting her to walk into the space he had opened for her. She was walking into his heart. Liesel tilted her head up. Her gaze landed on Elijah's sharp profile. Hotel lights illuminated the night, casting a glow that wasn't quite daylight yet not fully shadowed either. The soft lighting made the angles of his face stand out more sharply. From her vantage point, he looked like a masterpiece brought to life. Liesel found herself staring at him. Elijah chuckled. "I used to think being born with a pretty face didn't mean much, but judging by the way you're looking at me

    Liesel didn't look at Elijah. She shut her eyes as her voice was barely more than a whisper. "Elijah, do you really want to be with me? Are you sure you won't regret this someday?"You know this child is Jacob's. He'll grow up looking more and more like him. Won't his face remind you of those awful three years I spent with Jacob? Elijah…" She paused. "Maybe you should think this through again." Elijah was quiet. Liesel didn't open her eyes either. The silence in the car was suffocating.Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her head. Soon, he wrapped her in a careful embrace. He sighed and murmured close to her ear, "Lili, open your eyes and look at me." Liesel's lashes fluttered. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met his gaze."Lili, can I take what you've just said to mean that you care about me? Because if you didn't, you wouldn't think so hard about this, would you?" His lips brushed her ear. "I'm glad you told me these things. But why can't you trust me a little more? I

    Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

    Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

    With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia?

    Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

    Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

    As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

    "How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y
