When the door flung open, George Clementine bore an extremely worried face as her hands grasped Xyla Quest’s shoulder. “President Xyla, what’s wrong with you?”“I’ll sleep over at your house tonight.” Xyla said with a deep, depressed sigh. She did not want to go back to their house tonight. Georgie realized that she must have gotten herself into a difficult or complicated situation from the expression on her face. Immediately, she caught up with Xyla and pulled her to the sofa, sitting down together with her. “What’s the matter? Did you have a fight with Five Batton?”Upon hearing the name ‘Five Batton’, Xyla could not help but sneer bitterly. “Five Batton? Pfft… Just call him Stanley Batton from now on.”The initial worry on Georgie’s face was replaced by shock. “What do you mean?” “He’s Stanley Batton… My husband.”Georgie was struck dumb by her words, her eyes out on stalks as she gaped at Xyla’s face. “What? He’s your mysterious husband that you never met? Stanley Batton?

Xyla Quest shook her head. “I don’t know. Speaking of which, which room is empty? I need some sleep to put my mind at ease. I’ll get back to you on that after I wake up.”Georgie Clementine did not say anything else. She simply held Xyla’s right hand in her own before leading her to an empty guest room and stopping in front of the door. “You can sleep here tonight. There are pajamas and some brand new bras inside the closet. Feel free to wear them.”Xyla nodded her head in response. “Thanks, Georgie.”Then, Georgie pushed open the door and turned on the lights. “Go to bed now and stop thinking about it. Call me if you need anything, alright?” “Okay. If he calls you to ask about my whereabouts, please tell him that you have no idea.” Xyla reminded her before she sank onto the bed. She refused to see him at the moment. All she wanted to do was to calm herself down and leave everything behind. “Although your post-surgery recovery is going really well, you still need to have enoug

Zack Cassidy woke up instantaneously. He turned on the light and stole a glance at the clock. It was already ten o’clock at night. This bastard… “Yes, Fifth Master!” Zack nodded respectfully before jumping down from the bed with a heart full of resentment. On the other hand, Stanley Batton had gone to some of the bars and hotels that Xyla Quest often went to after he drove away from his villa. As he drove, he could not help but started laughing at himself. Never in his life had he been so crazy for anyone, or anything, not even once since he was a child. He felt very much like a blind, headless fly right now, roaming through the streets, not knowing where to go. The person he was at that very moment was akin to an immature boy who fell in love for the first time, doing all he could do for his first love. When Stanley was drowning in his deep thoughts, it started to drizzle. Under the drizzle, the black Honda continued to roam between the streets, traveling through the c

Though Xyla Quest knew that Stanley Batton was a liar who could not be trusted at all, her heart softened right away as she looked at him. The exhaustion on his face was real, and so were the red veins in his eyes. For a moment, she hesitated to chase him out of the room. That would be too mean to him.“First of all, I apologize for lying to you. Let me introduce myself first. I’m Stanley Batton, and the Dragon Group belongs to my family.”“I’m the fifth born in my family. Besides, I’m the President, as well as the heir, of the domestic Dragon Group.” He recounted, the seriousness in his tone retained with each word he spoke. Upon hearing that, Xyla was completely shocked… He was the young master of the Dragon Group? The young master with God-like existence in the eyes of the citizens? The husband who she agreed to marry that time was such a remarkably successful person in real life?As for her master, he was related to Dragon Group too? Ron Batton?No wonder her master had

The truth came like a thunderbolt, leaving Xyla Quest tongue-tied. Suddenly, many things that had never crossed her mind were happening right in front of her. She was unsure how to register the situation in her mind.The man who was standing in front of her right now… was actually her husband? He was even the master of Dragon Group? No wonder she could not find out who her husband was at that time. She tried to look him up but it was a failed attempt. “I swear I won’t lie to you about anything from now on. I swear.” He continued to justify himself with a sincere face, the three fingers of his right hand rose in the air, forming a scout’s honor sign. As Xyla stared deep at his genuine and solemn face, her heart melted away once more. “Really?” “Yes, I promise,” He said confidently. Xyla did not say another word. Her hands proceeded to flip through his family’s household register booklet. On the last page of the booklet, a familiar name hit her in the eye again…Sharon

Even until now, Xyla Quest still found it unrealistic that the man she fell in love with just happened to be her husband. “Look… I really can’t have them. I’m not short on money.”“Yes, you are.”“I told you I’m not.”“That’s it. I assume you are. Just keep properly what’s given to you, okay? Stop being so dumb and silly.” insisted Stanley Batton assertively, though his tone remained gentle as usual.Xyla scowled with dissatisfaction. “Excuse me? Who’s dumb and silly?”“You.”“You’re the one who’s dumb, okay?” Xyla refused to comply with him. “All the stuff that I mentioned just now will be yours by noon today. You can do whatever you want with them.”“You’re just like an insolent fellow.” She had never seen anyone like him, forcing her to receive the gifts without even caring about her opinion. As she spoke, her stomach started rumbling. The aromas of food wafting through the air, all the way from the kitchen into her nose, making her feel extremely hungry. Embarrasse

Stanley Batton held her hand in his all the way up the stairs. As the two of them reached the master bedroom, Xyla Quest stopped before Stanley and slowly released her hand from his, her blush seared through her cheeks. “I… I’m going to bed first.”However, before Xyla could even lift her leg, Stanley forced her against the wall beside her door and placed his right hand on the wall, bringing himself close to her. His calloused fingers proceeded to pinch her chin lightly as he whispered, looking her in the eyes, “Aren’t we sleeping together? My dear wife.” His warm breath spread over her ears. The tickling sensation across her skin made her heart beat faster and faster every second.His gaze was just like hot iron. Anywhere it landed on Xyla, it brought a flush of heat across her skin.In the next second, the rosiness on her cheeks spread across her face, all the way to her neck. “I… I’m tired.” Xyla did not dare to meet his eyes. Slowly sliding down from the wall, she slippe

Xyla Quest struggled to get up, but Stanley Batton forcefully pressed her down onto his lap. “Be good… Wait for me, hmm?”Now, Xyla suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed as her face turned red.His embrace was making her heart beat so fast she felt as if it would soon leap out of her chest.The gazes of people in the computer screen made her feel even more nervous.“You’re in a meeting. Can’t you be more serious?” Xyla bemoaned.“How am I not being serious?” Stanley retorted with a serious look in his face before turning to face the people in his computer screen. “Let’s end the meeting for today.”People in the meeting room looked at one another.Stanley turned off his laptop right away before unplugging his earphones. “Let’s go out and eat,” he said as he looked at Xyla.Xyla quickly got up from his lap. “I’ve already made dinner.”“Who said you could cook?” Stanley asked.“My body is almost fully recovered. Why can’t I cook?” Xyla said.“Even if it’s almost fully recovered

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
