Central BuildingAt the president’s office.Sean set down a gold credit card on Rose’s table. He had a wide smile on his face. “Orchid, this is your reward.”Rose looked up at him. “Thank you, Boss.”Sean was overjoyed. “The next thing we should do is prepare the screenplay for The Moonlit Sky, then we’ll use the new girls who we got from Ares to be the supporting actresses in the movie. “When it goes live, everyone will know that Ares Films can’t retain their female stars and weren’t able to buy the IP of popular screenplays. Thus, the head of Ares Films will start to destabilize from his position.”Rose gave a round of applause. “The plan sounds good.”Sean gazed back at her and smiled. “Orchid, this is all thanks to you.”Rose reminded Sean. “You’ve taken the big cheese of the Ares’ second family. We don’t know for sure if Sir Ares will step out and help his younger paternal cousin!”Sean replied, “Jay’s the head of the Ares family. There’s no way that he’ll sit and do not
When Sean watched Nancy leave, his smile gradually became cold.After work, Sean invited Rose over for dinner to celebrate their little victory.Rese reminded him yet again. “Mr. Bell, good things can lead to bad ones, so I suggest that you tread carefully during the night.”Sean’s face was ashen. “You’re afraid Master Ares will exact his vengeance on us?”Rose thought of what he had done to her recently. If he did not lock her up like a prisoner, then he violated her like a beast. The thought of it made her hair stand. “I’m afraid.” Rose nodded honestly.Sean walked over to her, his arm wrapping around her shoulder. “If you’re scared, I can drive you home.”Rose gave him the cold shoulder and swatted his arm away. “That’ll be unnecessary.”Sean came close once more. “I have some free time today. Let me give you a ride!”Rose suddenly thought of the time that she lied to Jay, saying that she liked Sean. Perhaps she should play the part, just to make it look real. “Alright, th
The Porsche stopped beside Sean and Orchid. The windows rolled down while Storm and Tempest strolled out of the car. Sean looked at the young men in front of him, raising his brows.Storm mimicked a fortune-teller and said, “My brother, you have deep-set eyes and an amazing love life. Your brows are thick, and your career is wonderful. However, your ophryon is dark, and you have black air swirling around your head. I’m afraid that your life may be in danger soon.”Sean looked at him cautiously. “Who are you? What are going to do to us?”Tempest glared at Storm, speechless. “What are you talking all that bullsh*t for?” He then proceeded to snap his fingers near Sean and Rose’s nose.Sean and Rose felt their bodies go weak as their vision blacked out. Then, they fell into the arms of Storm and Tempest. The duo promptly dragged them into the car.After half an hour, Sean and Rose slowly woke up.They realized that they were in a dark, underground basement and tied to a chair. Th
That was quite the shock.Jay untied her.Rose opened her eyes and gazed at him with shock.“If you want me to let him go, we’ll have to see how you perform,” said Jay.Rose was confused. She bewilderedly gazed over to Sean who lay on the concrete floor, then she looked back at Jay.She stood up slowly, yet she quickly collapsed back onto Jay because she had no more strength left in her.She wanted to stand up when she heard Jay’s satisfied voice, “Mm, now this looks promising.”Rose felt a chill breathe down her core.This b*stard wanted her to satisfy him right here and now?Filthy pervert.She looked up, and Jay grabbed the back of her head to go for her lips.Furthermore, he brutally turned her head to the other side so that Sean could witness the sight of them kissing.Rose felt extremely uncomfortable…Jay’s kisses had a hint of punishment in them. It made her almost run out of breath.Just when she was about to have a mental breakdown, he finally stopped.He carri
“What if I don’t want to?” Rose glared at him with indifference.His hand found her jet black hair, picking at every strand with focus as if treating it as a rare jewel.Rose thought of the time that he pulled her hair and numbed her scalp. It made her nervous.Jay gave her hair a slight tug and her hair grafts came off with ease.Then, he was like a toddler, plucking her hair out one by one. Rose panicked because of the pain. “Sir Ares, these are expensive…”Jay replied humorously, “Aren’t you tired of putting on makeup every day while you’re with him?”“I’m willing.” Rose gave a clear answer. “You like him that much?”She became silent.In her heart, he could fulfill her for two lifetimes over. In the past, she was like a pug. As long as he smiled and waved at her, she would race over to him.She had never thought that a woman’s honor and life were far more valuable than love.Thankfully, it was his apathy and the damage inflicted upon her that woke her up.She wante
In the trash bin sat an expensive liquid supplement box that rested beside the poor syringe. When Rose thought of having contracted this shameful disease, she became stricken with grief.She went back to her rented house in dismay.As she closed the door, her emotions blew open like a broken dam.She squatted on the floor as her tears flowed freely.“How could you do this to me?”Her phone rang non-stop. Rose removed it from her bag and saw the words ‘Josephine Ares’. She wiped her tears and answered the call.“Sister-in-law...”“Don’t call me that.”Her tone was as if she was pleading, and her choked-up voice left Josephine dazed. “Did my big brother offend you?”“Josephine, I’m leaving all three of my kids to you. Please take good care of them for me.” Rose sobbed. “Also, tell your brother that Baby Zetty is his daughter. Tell him to treat her well.”“Rose Loyle, what happened to you? Are you leaving your will right now? Where are you? I’ll come over this instant.” Jose
“Parker Hotel” After Jay managed to find where Rose lived, it was like he had been through a long war. He was exhausted. He leaned his head against the seat and rested his eyes.Josephine secretly looked at Jay through the rear mirror. At that moment, her heart was struggling. Her Sister-in-law dared to go against the Ares family According to how her big brother had dealt with this kind of matters in the past, he would make her suffer for sure. Should she plead for her sister-in-law?“Big Brother, when Sister-in-law worked together with Bell Enterprises to snatch away the business of Ares Enterprises, I think that she was touching Jean’s treasure. Sister-in-law wouldn’t have the heart to touch your essentials...”Jay opened his eyes. His still irises suddenly emanated rays of light once more.Did she really think of it that way?His dull demeanor brightened up a little.“Talk less and drive faster.” Jay urged.“Oh.”When the car stopped at the ground floor of Parker Hotel, Ja
Rose held Jay’s hand and put it on her face. Josephine’s pupils dilated as she looked at Jay with horror in her eyes.If her big brother could tolerate it this time, she would eat her foot for breakfast. Jay was not furious. Instead, he gave her his remaining fingers, caressing her beet-red face.He asked tenderly, “Do you know whose hand this is?”“I know,” Rose mumbled. “Jaybi.”Josephine let out a scream, “Ah!”She covered her mouth and gazed at Jay, terrified.This was Jay’s forbidden nickname.There was a woman who called him that way back then. In the end, her reputation was utterly ruined by her big brother and she took her own life.Rose. Loyle. Was. Doomed.Still, Jay’s cold eyes slowly became warm. A soft smile appeared on his face.“Rose, come home with me,” Jay said affectionately.Suddenly, Rose was struck with some sort of mania. She let go of Jay’s hand and pulled at her hair in madness as she wailed sorrowfully.“I have no home!“I have no home.“I’m
