- Crystal's POV -Putting the phone down, I realized what a crazy thing I had just done.What did I say? Oh my God, what did I say? How dare I be so bold!But, if I didn't, I wouldn't have the money for the operation.I had no way out.An operation of this magnitude can cost millions. Even if I had the patience to save up slowly, the baby in my belly couldn't wait too long.I didn't wait at the door of the dorm. I knew no one would open the door for me, so I walked down to the bottom of the building.- The Third's POV -Shortly after Crystal's figure disappeared down the hallway, the door of the dorm opened a crack.A head poked out to take a look, then retracted and said, "Hey, that bitch left."The dormitory burst into laughter, and Zara's laughter was particularly loud."Hahahahahaha, that damn poor bastard. She deserves it! She's always against us. This time we just denied her entry. Next time we'll throw her stuff out!"The others laughed along with her, and suddenly one of them
- Crystal's POV -When I heard Arthur's reminder, I realized I was blocking the car door. I blushed and hurriedly got out of the car.Standing next to Arthur, I was as shaky as ever. I didn't even dare to raise my head on the way, just staring at the hem of his shirt.After taking off his suit, Arthur's back looked much more approachable.The dressed-up Arthur who appeared on the news earlier was too perfect.It is only suitable for watching and looking up from afar, not for getting along.Of course, even with just his shirt on, he didn't exactly blend in with the ordinary people. Even with his face blocked, his impressive aura and physique likewise made him stand out far from the rest."Am I intimidating?" Arthur, who was sitting across the table ordering food, asked, "You haven't looked up at me."We were already sitting in the booth, surrounded by silence, nothing but the dulcet sound of violins.It was for this reason that Arthur had taken the mask off his face, and the eye-catchi
- Crystal's POV -I was so anxious that I stood up straight away. How could he suddenly change his mind when he had just promised me?"Can I take the money as a loan from you? I will work to earn money after I graduate..."Arthur shook his head and said, "This is not your business alone. The baby is ours. I can't let you take on everything all by yourself."I was frozen.Arthur's concerns seemed a little different than I had imagined.I had thought that Arthur would be worried that the baby in my belly would damage his reputation. He would have wanted me to get rid of it sooner. But Arthur...Arthur seemed to see my bewilderment and confusion. He steadied his mind and rephrased his words, "I mean, you can't be left alone with such a big deal. I know I have a big unshirkable responsibility in this matter, and I'm not a selfish person. I can't stay out of it.""So, Alpha, what are you going to do?"When I asked this, I subconsciously treated Arthur as a reliable man.Arthur did not answ
- Crystal's POV -Of course, Arthur didn't do that.He just straightened his shirt decently and sat back down in his spot. I kept my side to the car window after that and didn't say another word.The car stopped in front of the college."Go back and get some rest first. I'll call you in a few days when I've thought it over. If you need anything, call me right away, that's my personal number.""Okay." I got out of the car and closed the door.When I turned to walk into the campus, the car didn't drive away instantly but stopped in place for a long time. I didn't hear the sound of the car starting until I was out of sight.It was at this point that I remembered, as an afterthought, that the window glass was specially made to look like a clear mirror from inside the car in the dark.Then Alpha kept staring straight at the car window, and what he saw was not the street scene outside, but...my reflection.I couldn't think straight when I was with Arthur. Now that I am alone, my mind is sud
- Crystal's POV -I was shocked and went over to the railing to look down. There was a car in front of the dorm, but it wasn't the same car as last time. This time the car was an understated black, and the style was plain."Come down, I need to talk to you."Listening to the firm tone on the phone, I knew that Alpha had mostly made a decision, and that decision mattered to my future.My heart couldn't help but be apprehensive."Okay, I'm going down now."At this point, I knew that Arthur's decision would have a significant impact on my life, but I could never have imagined that that impact would actually be that big.I was two meters away from the car when the door opened, and it was the passenger seat."Get in."Arthur's voice came from the driver's seat.I glanced in the back seat in surprise; Arthur was the only one in the whole car, without a driver.I obediently got into the passenger seat and closed the door tightly.There was a faint smell of smoke in the car, which seemed to b
- Crystal's POV -The next day.When it was time for my meeting with Emily, I went to the appointed place early.Emily said we'd meet at 8 PM, but I'm a very punctual guy. No matter what the meeting is, I always used to arrive half an hour early.Today's meeting was significant, so I arrived almost an hour early.Emily told me to wait in front of the Moonlight Bar. But my nerdy outfit obviously didn't match the style of the bar. People passing by always gave me a look.I was uncomfortable by the look, so I shrunk to a corner. Pay close attention to Emily's figure.After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Emily's figure, but a creepy voice came to my ears."You can have fun today. Let's be clear: I'll play first, as usual. I'll play until I'm satisfied, and then it's your turn. Also, remember to wear a condom. Don't mess it up all at once."That's, that's Mark's voice!I was terrified. It was almost eight o'clock, and Emily was coming over. How did Mark happen to be here?A few jerk
- Crystal's POV -Mark was fuming to pry my teeth open. Again and again, he launched his attack, and again and again, my teeth blocked it back. He grew more and more irate and smashed the glass jug into the corner of my mouth. I think it must have bruised." BANG!"With a sudden loud bang, the door of the KTV shook violently, scaring everyone to a halt.The few people present looked at each other in disbelief, no one knowing exactly who was slamming the door."What's going on?"They didn't let go of me, there were a few more loud bangs on the door, and before long, the door was kicked open. Several amazingly fit, muscular men entered in order.Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Mark, "Mark, are these people the bodyguards you called in..."Before they could finish their sentence, those big strong men suddenly rushed up like leopards.I only saw a few black shadows swaying in front of me, and then I heard the sound of bones breaking.The two people holding me down let out a miserab
- Arthur's POV -"Good evening, Alpha."I had just reached the door to my room on the second floor when the personal physician who had finished examining Crystal happened to be out the door. He saw me and greeted me.I nodded, "Doctor Smith, how did the exam go? Any problems?"Doctor Smith glanced sideways at Crystal in the room, who was half-sitting on the bed. She still looks scared and upset."Checked, no major physical problems, no injuries to the belly. So the baby is safe. It's just that she's in quite a bit of shock and is very emotionally unstable. It's recommended that she recuperates for a while from now on.""Okay, thank you, Crystal's health will be in your care in the future."I finished and tried to walk into the room when the physician suddenly called out to me."Alpha, one more thing..."My heart skipped a beat, "What's up? Is it about Crystal?"The physician said with a nod, "Crystal has ingested some aphrodisiacs. Although it's only a small amount, the effect of the
- Crystal's POV -I apologized to Arthur again, "I'm sorry...I should have trusted you...""You don't need to apologize. I should have explained it to you ahead of time. I'm sorry for scaring you."I was suddenly tempted to ask him if the actress was his ex-wife. But then I thought about the day Arthur got mad at me for that photo. I dismissed that plan.I've doubted Arthur twice today. Once because of Mark's words and once because of a video.I really am a terrible girlfriend. I don't trust my lover.I don't deserve to be Arthur's wife.After almost half an hour, Doctor Smith arrived with a medical kit."Alpha! Sorry, I'm late!" Doctor Smith panted.Arthur turned his head to look at the doctor and said, "It's fine, it's not a big injury.""Doctor Smith, come and check it out!" I was so excited to see the doctor. I was more anxious than Arthur.After an initial examination, Doctor Smith had Arthur make a fist and then told him to drop it."Not much of a problem. None of the tendons or
- Crystal's POV -I pushed open the door to the study. As soon as I entered, the odor of books filled the room.Five large bookcases stuffed with books on philosophy, economics, military, and management. Every book looks old.I took down a few random books and saw handwritten annotations in each one.It seems Arthur could become the most famous Alpha by virtue of his hard work and erudition.Seeing so many books made my heart settle down a little.I've heard that the books one has read will melt into his bones, blood, and thoughts.You can basically assume what kind of person that person is by what kind of books he likes to read.These books show signs of having been read, and Arthur would have read them all. Maybe he couldn't remember all the contents of the books. But such focus and perseverance make him an amazing leader.Why wouldn't I trust a knowledgeable and courteous Arthur, but rather doubt Arthur after hearing a few words from asshole Mark?I shouldn't have doubted Arthur.I
- Crystal's POV -It's only been a day since I moved into the villa, and I have a lot of doubts building up in my mind.Maybe I was really too stupid to figure it out.A lot of things were not exactly what I expected.My original life was full of thorns and sometimes rainstorms and earthquakes, so I stopped moving forward to try to get a brief moment of ease under the shelter of Arthur. But life isn't easy for me now, either.I felt something invisible, soft, and dense surrounding me, gradually shrinking and tightening.I'm like prey falling into a spider's web. I am a little out of breath.Getting out of the car, I said goodbye to the chauffeur and walked into the school gates.I was in a very unassuming car, so I didn't realize at all that I was already being watched.Emily watched me get out of the car, and I noticed her but pretended not to see.I wouldn't forgive her for her betrayal. I knew she was the one who helped Mark trick me into going to KTV.During the five minutes betwe
- Crystal's POV -At night, I sat on my bed after a shower and read a book.I was losing sleep. I couldn't get used to the strange room and bed.As I read, I vaguely heard strange sounds that seemed to be coming from downstairs.Like someone in excruciating pain was holding back a suppressed moan.Was it the wind? Or is it really someone?If it was someone, who could it be?It's almost eleven o'clock at night. The servants were all asleep. Was Arthur back?I got out of bed, grabbed my cell phone, and walked to the door, gently turning the knob.Just as I unlocked it, someone suddenly crashed through the door and lunged at me."Ah-"I shrieked out in shock while the one who fell on top of me cried out in pain, "Give me the medicine..."As soon as I heard it was a familiar voice, I quickly stabilized him, and sure enough, it was Arthur."Alpha! What's wrong with you?"Arthur reeked of alcohol. He frowned tightly, holding one hand over his stomach and pressing his lips together."Stomach
- Crystal's POV -Without waiting for me to answer, Zara hastily said, "Mine!"Then she clutched up her dried seaweed-like smelly socks and shrank away."The washbasin...""I don't want this washbasin," I said, turning to pack my luggage.Zara and the other roommates looked at each other in disbelief, no one knowing what was going on."Lady, you don't need to do it yourself. We'll pack it for you."All the maids pulled out their gloves and put them on in unison, and took out their prepared boxes and bags in a well-trained manner.I hesitantly looked at my things, "But...""Don't worry, lady. We can tell which things are yours. We promise to pack them back in one piece at a time, and then you can choose which ones to keep and which to discard."As we spoke, the other maids were already in motion, some folding my quilt, some bagging my clothes, and some encapsulating my shoes and placing them in a separate box.It was really easy to tell what I had. Basically, the cleanest things in the
- Crystal's POV - The next day, I poked my head out from under the covers in a daze, and before I could open my eyes, there was a sudden soft kiss on my forehead. I was instantly awake, and when I raised my eyes, a magnified, handsome face appeared up close. Arthur hadn't woken up yet and kissed me while he was still asleep. After he kissed me, he fumbled with one hand and rubbed my hair, then pushed my head back into his chest. My cheek pressed against his bare skin. I could see clearly that we were both naked under the covers. I blush as I think back to what we did last night. Even though...we didn't really have sex last night because of the baby, but...it was basically no different than having sex. He'd kissed and touched me and licked me in the most intimate places all over my body. I was too shy to stay any longer and just wanted to get out of there, or at least get out of the covers first. But I'd barely started to move when both of Arthur's arms tightened around me. "Slee
