Colin happily accepted my invitation, even saying he would choose the most expensive restaurant so that I'd be forced to spend more.

Over the years, I had saved nearly a million from the prize money I received from participating in various competitions, the income I received from helping people draw, and scholarships. I could afford to treat him to an expensive meal.

The itinerary he arranged was to go swimming in the open-air swimming pool in the morning and have a meal at noon. There were two options for the afternoon. One was hiking, and the other was bowling.

Since I had some experience with the dangers of hiking mountains, I chose bowling. I had never played it before.

After breakfast, Colin carried me into the car under Mom's earnest reminders.

I protested, telling him not to carry me, but it was futile. He told me that whoever was stronger had the final say, so I gave up struggling.

The open-air swimming pool was a natural lake with a large area. I could see the beautiful

    I was by no means a pervert. I only wanted to know what was so magical about men's abs that the authors had to mention them in every romance novel. I didn't have any dirty thoughts about Colin."What are you looking at?"He asked me as he swam up to me."Colin, can I touch your abs?" I whispered while pulling him lower.His ears instantly flushed. He glared at me angrily, ignored me, and dove into the water. He swam away like a fish.I was just curious about his abs. His reaction was too exaggerated.Unexpectedly, he was still innocent despite almost turning 30. He was even blushing!It was my first successful attempt at teasing Colin!I got tired after swimming two laps, so I lay on the beach chair and admired the scenery with my sunglasses on.Rather than admiring the scenery, I was actually admiring Colin, who looked like a merman.I wasn't aware of when he appeared beside me, his tall body shielding me from the scorching sun.I even wondered if he was doing this intentio

    "So, you don't dare? It seems that you only know how to brag!"I truly didn't dare to. I gave up. I didn't want to touch him anymore!"Hehe, you've been protecting your chastity for your future wife. I should let her be the first person to touch your abs. I won't touch them." I smiled dryly as I made excuses for myself.Colin sneered. "You sure phrased your words nicely, but you look like you're regretting not touching me. I don't think you should miss this opportunity. If you miss it this time, there'll be no more chances. Once I marry, you'll never get another chance to touch me. Won't you regret it?"He was right, but I didn't dare to make the move."Let's be honest here. Do you want to touch me?"I looked at Colin in embarrassment, trying to ask him to give me an idea of whether to touch him.Perhaps I wasn't sitting still or he wasn't standing firm, but I accidentally placed my palm against his abdomen during a moment of unsteadiness. The warm and smooth touch made my fa

    After exiting the airport security check, I saw Matthew standing at the guardrail outside, waving at me excitedly. "Lulu, this way!"Felix and Lilac took the taxi back to the university while Matthew took me to a restaurant for a meal.Although Lilac tried every means to express her wish to follow us, Matthew pretended not to hear and silently refused. Felix soon pulled her away with embarrassment.It would be difficult for him to avoid embarrassment seeing as he had such a shameless girlfriend.As soon as I entered the private room, Matthew hugged me from behind and held me tightly.His unfamiliar breath startled me. I struggled instinctively.However, he held me so tightly that I couldn't break free from him. I gradually started panicking. He buried his head in my neck, his breaths making my skin itch."I missed you so much! I almost went crazy! Lulu, how long more do I have to wait? I'm having a hard time. Do you need such a long time to consider being my girlfriend?"He spo

    I had celebrated Colin's birthday with him for three consecutive years. As I couldn't celebrate with him this year, I planned to choose a gift and send it to him.I hoped he would be happy to receive my gift.On Saturday afternoon, I had nothing much to do and planned to go out to pick out a gift for Colin. Unexpectedly, Helen called me and asked me to go shopping. It was better to shop with a friend than alone, so I agreed.She took me to those expensive luxury stores when she heard I wanted to buy a birthday gift.After shopping for more than two hours, I hadn't bought anything. Meanwhile, she had bought several bags of clothes and shoes.I found out that she spent more than 300 thousand in two hours. But she complained that the stores had no new products and that made the shopping experience boring.That was more than 300 thousand. I didn't think I'd be able to spend so much on shopping in my life. Although my family wasn't short of money, I couldn't accept such spending habit

    After class in the afternoon, I received my handmade ceramic mug.A drawing of two children was on the light blue mug. The tall one was a boy of about ten years old, and the short one was a girl with two braids. He was holding her hand while she was talking to him with her head tilted up. He showed a gentle and indulgent smile.That was my clearest memory of Colin when I was about five.I cleaned the mug, put it on the table, and admired it. I even took out my phone and took a few photos as I waited for Colin to receive his gift. After that, I could post the photos on WhatsApp Status to show off.The coursework here wasn't as much as it was at Lincoln University. Our tutor often took us to places with unique scenery or historical heritage. He would also let us read classics and poems and conduct research based on our different perspectives. Our creations contributed to our academic scores. On Friday morning, 17 of us followed our tutor to visit the tomb of a princess. It was mo

    There was a seemingly abandoned gazebo on the side of the gate of the factory area. I sat on the steps of the gazebo and waited for Matthew.After waiting for half an hour, he still hadn't arrived. It even started to rain heavily, The rain came so fierce and sudden. I didn't bring an umbrella, so I had to seek cover in the gazebo.The dark clouds were heavy. The vendors had already run off with their equipment, leaving me alone.What happened that year had left me with a trauma of heavy rain. My parents and Colin would never let me face the thunder alone.But the door to the factory was tightly closed. Even when I knocked on it hard, no one answered me. The lightning above was flickering across the clouds, and the exposed gazebo was crumbling under the attack of wind and rain.I suddenly remembered the desperate moment when I stood at the bottom of a well while covered with wounds. Fear instantly enveloped me, and my head began to hurt. I was so panicked that I didn't know what

    Matthew threw himself beside my bed anxiously. "Lulu, are you feeling better? Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. There was something wrong with the plan, and it was very urgent. I had to discuss the solution, and... "Lulu, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. You know that. I wouldn't hurt you."He looked terrible—his suit was torn, one eye was swollen, and his lips were bleeding. His chin was also covered with stubble. His eyes were full of anxiety and helplessness.Felix stood far away at the door. Seeing that I was fine, he seemed to take a long breath and smiled slightly at me."Lulu, can you please say something? It's my fault. You can hit me or scold me, just don't ignore me."Matthew held my hand, his eyes turning red with anxiety. I wanted to withdraw my hand, but my body was so weak that I had no strength."How did I get here?" I asked him hoarsely. My throat was dry, and my head was dizzy. It felt as if I was standing in the clouds.He was about to speak w

    Felix glanced at me with his phone in hand. He was visibly torn about whether to answer the call. In the whole world, only Lilac could put Felix in such a dilemma."Go back. I'm fine. Don't worry, I'll call you if anything comes up."Felix left, but not before repeatedly reminding me to call him if I needed anything.I agreed, but I knew I wouldn't do that. He probably understood that too. Given my stubborn nature, I wouldn't turn to him no matter what, hence his repeated reminders."Lulu, you didn't eat last night or this morning. You must be hungry. What would you like to eat? I'll go get it for you." Matthew sat beside me. He was guilt-ridden like a schoolboy who had erred. He continuously muttered apologies.Truth be told, I didn't blame him. I had no expectations for him to begin with. So, I had no grounds to feel resentful.However, this incident somewhat diluted my desire to give him a chance.Matthew tried to hold my hand several times when he sensed my coldness, but I

    I wanted nothing more than to run to Queenie, to hold her tightly and tell her how much I missed her during those endless days apart. I wanted to kiss her deeply and feel the warmth of her embrace. I called out, "Queenie, I'm here."Seeing me seemed to jolt Queenie from her joyous state, replacing it with a vacant expression. Mere moments before, she had been smiling brightly, her eyes aglow with happiness. Now, she appeared lost, her initial elation dissipating into a blank, unresponsive gaze.I couldn't understand why she had turned so distant upon seeing me. The love and joy that once shone in her eyes were nowhere to be found. As I observed her, I wondered if our time apart had caused her to forget. Or perhaps the events of the past had wounded her so profoundly that she had stopped waiting for me.The thoughts terrified me, and I dared not ask for fear of confirming my suspicions. All I wanted was to hold her, kiss her, and tell her how much I missed her. Yet, it seemed tha

    I had no interest in Daniela's pregnancy, so I kicked her out of the house. My friends came to console me, each expressing their sympathies with a drink because they didn't know how else to comfort me.The money I had sent to Queenie's account was quickly returned as the account had been closed. Her phone number became unreachable, and when I sought her at her parents' home, I found the elderly couple waiting anxiously for their daughter's return. I lost not only Queenie but any connection to her. I grew disinterested in everything, neglecting my company and spending my days in a drunken haze.Then, my uncle came. We drank through the night as he shared tales of his hardships, the painful memories of his mother, and the years he spent alone, suffering.He said, "Everyone has their fate, Flynn. And choosing one thing often means losing another. Just as you've chosen to fight for the family business, you've sacrificed a part of yourself. But you must rise and fight me with all you'v

    Queenie would then jump off the cliff, leaving me to jolt awake in a cold sweat. I endured each twilight in my hopeless vigil, counting down the days.On the 75th day, the door finally unlocked. I stepped outside and realized that this was the neighborhood where Queenie and I lived. All this time, we had been mere yards apart.My mom truly knew how to break a person's spirit. All I had to do was lift my head to see the pomegranate tree planted in our yard.I stumbled toward our home, my wounds screaming as I desperately called for Queenie. But the immaculate house stood eerily silent, echoing my footsteps like thunder.Except for Queenie, every possession remained meticulously in place—the exquisite clothes, expensive jewelry, and designer cosmetics.Queenie was gone, and the thought of losing her drove me into a frenzy.I collapsed in the middle of the room, sobbing uncontrollably. Regret consumed me. I should have never let my family's threats manipulate me and left Queenie to

    I clenched my fists, barely resisting the urge to rush over to Queenie's side. All I wanted was to embrace her and whisper assurances that I would protect her, always. But I knew I had no right to do so.My dad's threat hung heavy in my mind, and the stares of Daniela and her mother bore into Queenie like daggers. One wrong move or word and those blades would descend upon Queenie, cutting her to shreds.The pain was unbearable. I felt sorry for Queenie. I was powerless and couldn't help her. With all my heart, I wished for her to stay strong and survive. She deserved better than me. Daniela's mother slapped Queenie, calling her a whore and a homewrecker, accusing her of seducing other people's boyfriends.Queenie stood rigidly, her gaze filled with humiliation. Her lips trembled, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.I winced in agony but held myself together, picking up Daniela and walking away.Countless times afterward, I berated myself for choosing to take Daniela away

    We both knew the truth—neither of us could cross the chasm that had formed between our hearts.After that, I went home almost every day. We managed to maintain a semblance of normalcy in our day-to-day lives. We prepared sumptuous dinners and tended to our garden. I even considered adopting a pet to keep Queenie company while I was away.However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't rekindle the warmth we had once shared. Queenie hardly smiled anymore. No matter what I did to cheer her up, she would only give a half-hearted smile, her eyes remaining cold and distant.I knew something had transpired during our separation, but she refused to discuss it. My attempts to uncover the truth through private investigators were in vain. Any evidence had been meticulously erased.Eventually, I realized Queenie was simply biding her time, waiting for the moment when she would be forced to relinquish all hope and leave.A month later, my mother joyfully told me that Daniela was pregnant an

    I grabbed a brush from the bathroom and scrubbed myself furiously, desperate to wash away the overwhelming sense of filth. Even as the rough bristles tore into my skin, drawing blood and causing searing pain, I felt no closer to feeling clean.My mind was consumed with thoughts of Queenie and the nearly five years we had spent together—the happy moments, the arguments, every single memory.At that moment, I realized I was terrified. Never before had I experienced such abject fear. Knowing Queenie's uncompromising stance on love and fidelity, I knew she would never forgive me once she discovered my transgression.She would undoubtedly turn and leave, heedless of any pleas I might make. I probably wouldn't even have the courage to ask for her forgiveness in the face of her justified anger.I regretted everything. If I had listened to my friends and taken Queenie away from all this, none of this would have happened. But I had hesitated. Even now, I couldn't be certain if my hesitati

    Yesterday afternoon, my dad called and demanded that I make a decision within two days, or they would take action.I felt cornered because I genuinely didn't know how to talk to Queenie about this. The mere idea of her packing her belongings and leaving, accompanied by the unspeakable anguish it would inflict upon me, was a burden too heavy to bear.I wasn't sure if I could ever have a semblance of normality in my life again after that.So, I gathered some friends to drink with me. I drank heavily because I had made a decision—a disgraceful, heartless decision. The thought of what I would have to face the next day made life seem hopeless, so I drank even more.Before losing consciousness, I handed my car keys to my assistant, using my last bit of clarity to tell him to take me home no matter what state I was in.Even if it meant returning to the Hayes family's residence, he should not leave me out on the streets. Despite the imminent breakup, I wanted to part ways with Queenie in

    My mom proved to be even more ruthless than my dad. She found me, dropped to her knees without a word, and begged me. She reminded me of the years they had spent raising me, pleading that I ensure they wouldn't be left without a sense of security in their old age.In essence, they were pressuring me to abandon everything. I was to pursue money and power for their sake, secure the Hayes family's head position, and ensure our grip on wealth and influence. Their priority was maintaining their luxurious, elevated lifestyle. My happiness, my desires—whether I even wanted those things—meant nothing to them. Sometimes, it felt like I was nothing more than a tool for achieving their ambitions.My dad told me bluntly that he would go after Queenie if I didn't comply. He said, "You're right. I'm incapable of outmaneuvering your uncle. But no matter how incompetent I am, I can easily make Queenie's life in Harveyton unbearable."To be honest, that day was the coldest my heart had ever felt
