Sentenced to Marriage Secrets
Callan's phone was locked with a fingerprint. To get any kind of data from the phone, we needed to bypass that lock first. There are many ways to hack into a phone that uses this kind of protection. One of them uses tape to clone the fingerprint, and that was our first method to try. Alan insisted that he would do it himself, claiming that he had done it a few times before... Well, I decided that it would be safer not to ask when he needed to break into someone else's phone that way. Unfortunately, the fingerprint on the scanner had already been smudged, and there was nothing to clone... Since we had no way of getting Callan's fingerprint, we needed to find another way around.One of the simplest methods to bypass the lock is a hard reset, which also wasn't an option. It wouldn't make any sense to get access to a phone with all the data erased. We were left with one other method—we needed to convince the phone that the fingerprint scanner malfunctioned so that the system gave us a way

It was a little after 9 AM when I woke up. Aren was in bed with me, leaning against the pile of pillows to keep him in the sitting position while he worked on his laptop. He was shirtless, with his muscles beautifully exposed for me to appreciate. I bit my lip as I carefully scanned every detail of him, recalling our sex in the shower…"It must be uncomfortable working like this," I said, slightly rolling over to his side of the bed."It's never uncomfortable around you." He smiled and leaned over me to give me a quick peck on the lips."I made you worry yesterday..." I muttered.He frowned. "I told you, didn't I? Don't think about it anymore. Don't you dare think about him anymore.""I'm not." I smiled nervously. "It's just that I am still worried about that video…"Aren closed his laptop and turned my way. "I called Alan an hour ago. He and Norton searched for that video all night and found nothing. My guess is that this sick fucker wanted to keep this video all to himself or use it

I kept staring at Alan, blinking my eyes in disbelief. "Let me get this straight... You made a perfect clone of Callan's phone, and then you erased all the nude pictures and the video from it?""That is correct," Norton confirmed."And this phone is the one that the FBI agents have taken?""Yup." Alan grinned wickedly."And the original is still in our hands, and we can complete the retrieval of data that got erased by the burner app?""Yes," they replied simultaneously.I collapsed on the sofa and burst out into laughter, relieved and happy to have those two freaks by my side. Aren stood beside me, smiling and gesturing a thumbs-up to Alan and Norton. I smiled at my husband and shrugged. "I guess, we will notify Jack if we find something useful.""Good idea." Aren nodded before turning to the boys. "Good job, guys.""It was the right thing to do," Norton said, confidently raising his chin.I knew I owed them a good dinner with high-quality alcohol, at least for what they did. As soon

I woke up sitting on the floor by Aren's bed, my hand stretched to hold his while he slept, my upper body twisted in a weird, uncomfortable position. It took me a while to stand as my stiffened muscles refused to work, punishing me for my awkward way of falling asleep. It was four in the morning when I swayed back to my bedroom to lie down in bed and try to relax. I couldn't. The image of Aren, desperate and mortified in his sleep, haunted me each time I closed my eyes. What could cause him such pain? Was it something from his past? "Lanfen..." I muttered, staring blankly at the ceiling. It was probably a Chinese name. I wondered if it was his family member, but I had never heard him mention that name before. And what was it that he was calling? "Buyao zou"? I wondered what it could mean. Should I ask him in the morning? Would he answer? For the first time, I wasn't sure that he'd tell me the truth... I was scared. I couldn't explain it, but something fragile had broken between us.

Neil's words rang inside my head for the next few hours. Of course, there was no chance that I would let Aren know that I wasn't mad at him anymore because my inner rage was still present and boiling in my veins each time I felt that I recalled his words. Yet, the situation between me and Aren was clearly exhausting both of us, and I didn't want Aren to fire more people or trouble poor Neil...Since my message-recovery mission brought no results this time, I ended up focusing all my thoughts on Aren anyway. Neil advised me that it would be best if I reached out to him. He was also certain that Aren would agree to any conditions. I wasn't too sure about it, but I figured that maybe it was worth a shot. From the moment I met Aren, I literally moved into his world and played by his rules; it was time to change that. After writing and rewriting the message five times, I finally sent Aren an invitation, one without pleading and extra formalities."Eat dinner with me. I suggest tacos at Cas

Perhaps, he said. Perhaps I should have kept my mouth shut. With a stiff smile on my face, I tried to contain my boiling emotions. The sting of jealousy was painfully spreading throughout my body and made me hate Lanfen even if I didn't know her. Why had I even mentioned that I would look for her?! I didn't want to find my husband's ex! If she was out of his life, then it would be better if it stayed that way! I hated the way her name and the memory of her could stir his emotions. It made Aren agitated and anxious. She caused it, and, as much as I didn't like to admit it, I envied her. I bet that she knew Aren before he decided to lock all of his emotions away. She could have had his love, but she rejected him. Whoever she was and whatever her motives were, she didn't deserve to come back to his life. "Sunshine, are you worried?" Aren asked, smiling. "Of course I am!" I snapped. "No girl likes to hear that her man's ex is in town!" I might have gone a little overboard with the volume

I was glad that I didn't have to walk the entire way to the mansion's main building on foot. Marcus waited for us a little further away from the main gate. We drove away, leaving Vanessa, who looked as if she had gone mad. A tiny little part of me felt sorry for her. She had lost her son, and even if her brain lacked neurons, she must have suspected that he didn't kill himself. I would love to tell her that we shared the same suspicions, but that would only make her blame us for Callan's death more. I think we would never be able to guess what had caused her hatred, but especially now, that woman should be locked away from society for some serious treatment. As we entered the main building, my second favorite person in the mansion showed up—the chamberlain, Lucious Maffei. I didn't think that was possible, but this guy looked at me with more disdain than before. "Hello Lucious," I greeted him with a warm smile. "It's a lovely day, isn't it?" I couldn't help but turn on my very dark s

Aren and I left the Wintons' mansion soon after I had promised to meet with Augustus after the weekend."You did an excellent job, my beautiful wife," he commented as we were going back to the penthouse."You knew that your grandfather would approach me, didn't you? Was that why you suddenly chose to leave me alone in that hall?" I narrowed my eyes at him.He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "Of course. I knew that my grandfather would naturally assume that you are naïve. That was why he waited for the moment I wasn't around you. He was afraid that if I was listening to your conversation, I would make the choices for you, and I would make you refuse his offer.""Now, he thinks that I am willing to listen to him and use the diamond as an investment. What do we do next?" I asked.Aren sighed. "We would have to use the fact that you're going to meet my grandfather in his office, but the plan that I'm thinking of is a risky one…""What do you mean?" I asked, my heart speeding as I saw his

I didn't answer Aren right away. I held my poker face still, resisting the urge to smile. I waited until the smug smirk slowly left his mouth, enjoying every second of his uncertainty. "Say it again," I said. He raised his eyebrows questioningly. "Will you marry me?" His confusion made my lips gently curve. "Not this, but your words before that." "I love you." He grinned, reaching for my hand. "I love you." He took out the ring from the box and put it on my finger. It fitted perfectly. "I love you," he breathed, leaning closer and placing a gentle kiss on my chin, on my cheek, and my lips. I wish I could say that it was a perfect, romantic moment, but my hormones ruined it all by making me cry again. He chuckled softly, sitting beside me and pulling me onto his lap. He kissed every tear away while gently stroking my hair with his fingers. "I want you forever as my wife. Nod if you agree," he said, giving me the sweetest smile I saw on his face. Of course, I nodded. It was much e
Sentenced to Marriage Let's talk
I had been dreaming about this moment for the last five months. No. Scratch that. I had been having nightmares about this moment. From the moment I found out that I was pregnant, there wasn't a single day I didn't think about how I was going to tell Aren. Initially, I wanted to call him immediately. This situation was changing everything between us. I grabbed the phone while tears flooded my eyes. I picked Aren's number... and I froze.The baby I had growing inside my belly would become the future heir of the Lan family. This meant that as soon as I told anyone, I would become the future mother of the future heir... Chills ran down my spine. Would I be forced to live in Shanghai and become nothing more than Aren Lan's wife? I instantly felt nauseous, and not only because I had morning sickness. Something was crushing my chest, and I was scared. I was terrified. And then later, what if someone decided that I wasn't the best mother for my child and would take my child away? I knew that
Sentenced to Marriage Without her
It'd been over six months since Cora walked out the door of the Lan family mansion. That day was the last time I saw her, the last time I felt her, and the last time I could focus on anything. From that moment, I had been merely existing, surprising myself each time I got up to see another morning. Funny, isn't it? The cold son of the bitch who wasn't supposed to have a heart was suffering from agonizing heartache. If Nanny Mei Lien had seen me like this, she would have called me pathetic.Since my Mother died a little after I was born, Mei Lien was the only parent figure around me. James Winton most likely wanted me to die as well, but Mei Lien did everything she could to keep me safe. She contacted my Grandfather on her own and begged him to grant me and her his protection. He refused. He was soaked with hatred for the daughter who betrayed him, and it was only natural that he would hate that daughter's son as well. It's ironic that right before the daughter whom he hated died wishe
Sentenced to Marriage Choosing myself
I started packing the second I walked into our room. Aren looked at me, shocked. Within a heartbeat, he surged between me and my suitcase. "What are you doing, sunshine?" His steady voice had a rough edge painted with anxiety. "I'm going back to New York. I had already booked a plane on our way to the mansion." I tried to keep my tone composed, but every piece within me was shaking. He huffed nervously. "When are you coming back to Shanghai?" His eyes darkened; he knew what I was going to say. "I'm not coming back," I muttered, lowering my gaze. "Sunshine... don't..." He shook his head, pain and desperation surfacing in his features wildly. I brushed away the tears that had uncontrollably fallen down my cheeks. "Give me a reason why I should stay?" I pushed him away from my suitcase and continued packing. "I know that I'm selfish, but I can't lose you." His voice was soft, nearly cracking. Before I knew it, his arms were wrapped around me, and I surrendered to the warmth of his b
Sentenced to Marriage Entering the golden cage
I had trouble eating dinner, and it had nothing to do with my two broken fingers. I couldn't swallow a single piece of food, feeling that every bite got stuck in my throat. Afterward, I went to Lan Jing's office for a private conversation. I was pissed, and with every second that had gone by, I found it more difficult to hide my anger. I had known that Aren would have to be in Shanghai to take over Lan Wang Corporation, but we were going to discuss the details together! I had never even considered moving to Shanghai and staying here permanently!The few friends I had, all lived in New York. My Grandma stayed in the clinic in New York. My life was in New York. I loved Aren, but I had only just begun to truly cherish the place where I lived, and I didn't want to move somewhere else, no matter how beautiful and extraordinary Shanghai was. It wasn't about the language, because I would gladly learn it, but I would do it for myself. I helped Aren with his revenge, and it seemed to me that h

I was not a killer. I'd always considered myself a good person. I had a high set of moral standards, and I had never thought that there would be a day when I would point a gun at someone, thinking that he deserved to die. Still, I couldn't take away his life... But I wanted him to suffer. I aimed at his right shoulder. Adrenaline sharpened my senses, making me more focused than I had ever been in my whole life. The oddly funny fact was that I had problems with hitting the target board, but I knew exactly where the bullet would hit the second I pulled that trigger.Caishen growled in pain, the knife held in his right hand falling to the ground. "You bitch!" he yelled, stomping my way.I shot again, this time aiming at his thigh. The second bullet made him collapse. I watched him fall to the ground, his hands reaching to press the wound on his leg. I smirked coldly. I must have hit an artery since he was bleeding out fast. None of those shots were lethal, but they were enough. He lost.
Sentenced to Marriage To kill for love
My husband was two feet away from me. He was covered in blood, but all I cared about was that the blood wasn't his. His eyes carried an explosive mix of emotions. There was fear, guilt, relief, need, longing, pain, anger, and an unrecognizable form of warmth. He stood still, as if he was waiting for my permission to come closer, to touch me, to embrace me. Seeing him near me and not feeling his skin against mine was almost unbearable. My whole body craved him. I could finally breathe because he was close. I spread my arms open, invitingly. It only took a heartbeat for him to encircle me in a tight hug, allowing me to melt into his muscular frame. I breathed in his scent like it was a remedy for all the physical pain."I missed you so much," I mumbled, shedding a wide stream of tears.His hands delicately traced up and down my back as if he was afraid to hurt me. "I'm sorry, sunshine... I'm so sorry." He breathed heavily in between leaving soft kisses on the crown of my head. "I was so
Sentenced to Marriage Escape
The alarms went off. I could see the red lights flashing rhythmically as Caishen dragged me through the corridor. This time I didn't even dream of running away. I was circled by Max and the group of guards who watched me closely, tensing each time one of my legs swayed as if it was a signal of me trying to run away. I tried to memorize the route but then decided that it was useless since I didn't even know where the exit was. Nonetheless, I'd noticed something before: there were no windows. My suspicions were confirmed as I was pushed into the elevator. We were on the underground floor—Level -3, and the elevator went down to Level -5.Once we left the elevator, I saw more armed men, running somewhere and securing certain areas. Then I heard very distant gunshots. My heart started to pound with a new beat. Aren might have been getting closer. The sole thought made my body warm."Get in," Caishen hissed, throwing me into a raw, almost unfurnished room. "You will wait here until it's all
Sentenced to Marriage Having a choice
Caishen's peel of laughter told me that I could breathe again. I emptied my lungs in one hectic exhale. The gun's barrel was still touching my temple. My hand was trembling. I blinked my eyes, slowly realizing that there was no bullet in the chamber. Caishen clapped his hands, visibly entertained that I decided to risk my life, playing his sick game. I hated him. I hated him for making me choose between my life and the lives of the criminals standing around me. It would have been easier if I had lost my moral values and had given up on respect for human lives, but it was something I could never do. Certainly, I believed that there were deviants in this world that didn't deserve to live, but if I was their judge, I would rather grant them hell on earth than send them to hell myself."Are you trying to become a saint, my dear?" Caishen laughed as he snatched the gun from my hand. "We are surrounded by meaningless people. Their lives don't matter. They will always be workers, not creator
