I sent Olivia and Daniel to Susan's early.The day was still young, and I decided to call Damien.As the phone rang, I felt a surge of anxiety. I feared he might see my call and ignore it, but thankfully, he answered."Damien... I was hoping you might be willing to talk to me again," I said softly, trying to make my voice sound as fragile as possible.I hoped this would work on Damien.It seemed he was in a meeting. I heard him say a few words to someone nearby, likely his assistant, Stephen, and then he moved to a quieter place."I'm glad you reached out, but Allison, I hope you thought this through before contacting me," he said. Despite claiming to be glad, his tone was calm, revealing nothing of his true feelings.This made me even more nervous.Biting my lip, I quickly replied, "I think I have, Damien.""Then I'll come to see you. I hope you're sincere. I don't want to be angry with you anymore."With that, Damien hung up. I instantly understood his message. He would be

I only relaxed when Damien held me in his arms and kissed me.I thought it meant he was still willing to help pay for my mother's medical bills."Allison, I'm so happy." Damien kissed my forehead and the corners of my mouth. "Is there anything you want me to do?"Still in a post-orgasmic daze, I looked at Damien with dreamy eyes and told him, "I took Olivia and Daniel to see my mother. She hasn't woken up yet.""Allison, don't be sad. Maybe we just need to wait a bit longer? She'll wake up." Damien's chin rubbed against the top of my head, his voice gentle."But the medical report includes a recommendation from the doctor to give up on my mother's treatment. That day, I also met my aunt, who almost immediately chose to give up on my mother after seeing the doctor's suggestion..."I felt my eyes heat up and begin to sting but to get Damien's help, I had to keep talking."Damien, I don't want to give up on her. I want you to help me again."Saying such words might be a bit embarr

After Damien helped transfer my mother, besides rehearsing for my personal performance at school, I visited my mother more frequently, eagerly hoping her test results would come out soon.I pinned my hopes on this.It made me look much more energetic these past few days, and Mia noticed, saying I seemed full of life.I told her about my mother's transfer. I had no one else to share my joy with. I wanted to wait until my mother's test results were out before telling Olivia and Daniel the news.I was merely a kept woman to Damien, and the hug from last time was just out of my excitement. The only person left to share my joy with was Mia, who was the most aware of my emotional shifts. I couldn't hide anything from her."This is really good news! Maybe Mrs. Claire will be able to make it to your graduation performance.""From your lips to God's ears, Mia," I shrugged.After our rehearsal, Mia pulled out three tickets from her backpack in the locker room and handed them to me."Mayb

Damien POVWhen I received that photo, I was listening to Stephen's report on recent work arrangements.I felt somewhat bored. I was more interested in finding out where Allison was. Ever since we reconciled, I found myself wanting to spend more time with her.I thought maybe she was trying to transform the person she fell in love with into me. She learned to be proactive, to compromise, and to focus on my preferences to better please me.It was a wonderful thing. Her choices made our lovemaking session on the day we reconciled enjoyable for both of us.Then, as I was pondering where my little swan might be today, I received that photo from an unknown sender.As soon as I opened it, I instantly realized who the sender was. It was Alex, smiling like an idiot in the photo, attempting to provoke me.After I had persuaded his father to send him to Silicon Valley in California under the pretense of honing his skills, Alex, unable to see Allison, decided to retaliate in other ways.

Damien punished me again, and I didn't resist.I tried to get used to what he was doing to me, even though I couldn't understand his thoughts.Meeting Alex was an accident, but I did meet him, and there was no explaining that to Damien. He'd be angry anyway.The next day, I dragged my injured body to school, covering the marks with a high-neck shirt.Luckily, the weather wasn't great, and my complexion didn't seem too bad.Convincing myself to accept Damien's rude behavior allowed me to maintain a pleasant facade in front of Mia. I told her I stayed up late playing with Olivia and Daniel, which made me tired.Mia bought my story, her expression shifting between happiness and annoyance."Alright, alright, Allison. Since you were with your siblings, I'll forgive your tiredness today."Eleanor couldn't join us today as she was helping other students, leaving Mia and me to rehearse on our own.After our practice, we watched the recorded video on my phone to identify problems.

Emily left with a grim look on her face. Before she walked away, she glanced at me, her expression complex.Perhaps she always knew it was Alex who had been approaching me actively, but she didn't want to believe that it was his choice.Emily had been deceiving herself, convincing herself that all of Alex's actions were because I was still giving him hope.She might come to trouble me again, but that was something beyond my control.Honestly, I had no expectations about whether she would tell Alex about this or not. Whether she told him or not, it was an incredibly foolish thing.After Emily left, I felt a bit dizzy.The conversation with her had left me exhausted. I held my forehead with one hand and reached out with the other to steady myself against the hallway wall.Before I could do so, Mia was already there, supporting me."Allison, are you alright?" she asked, looking at me with concern."I'm fine. I just need to rest for a moment." I apologized. I felt deeply sorry for

The surgery would come with some risks, not entirely safe.The doctor informed me that the worst-case scenario might be not different from now. My mother could remain in a coma indefinitely. She might wake up someday, or she might never wake up again.I thought I could accept that risk. I was willing to take a chance."Ms. Claire, the nurse will bring you the consent form for the surgery shortly. You will need to sign it." The doctor was pleased with my prompt decision, avoiding a prolonged deliberation allowed them to proceed with necessary arrangements more swiftly."Once you sign the consent form, we'll schedule the surgery as soon as possible, likely next month. Depending on your mother's condition, there may be adjustments, and we will provide you with detailed updates. If you have any concerns before the surgery date, you can still contact the hospital."I agreed.After signing the consent form, I left the hospital.Instead of taking the bus, I walked along the roadside.

Damien POVAfter punishing Allison over the photo incident, I tenderly kissed her forehead in the morning before heading out.I hoped to show my little swan how much I cared.Allison had classes today, and I had plans to meet with a friend.Stephen dropped me off at an opulent bar, where my friend Blake Kensington was lounging in a booth, surrounded by girls in pretty dresses and sparkling jewelry, all smiling sweetly and chatting him up. Jesus, I felt the urge to turn and leave.Blake, a notorious playboy often gracing the entertainment headlines, had a jaw-dropping number of mistresses. In his words, he was simply too kind-hearted, always wanting to help every girl with a dream.I should have known what to expect when Blake invited me out.Upon seeing me, Blake didn't greet me directly. Instead, he introduced me to the girls around him, causing their eyes to light up with interest.After the introduction, they swarmed me with sweet expressions, making me feel like prey

"Allison, perhaps you like Tuscan pine nut candy?" My student handed me a bag of candy, looking at it with some reluctance."I do like it, but if you want to eat it, I think neither Antonio nor I would have minded," I said with a smile, noticing her craving for the candy.I was used to Antonio giving candies to the students to pass on to me, but for these little sweet tooths, it might have been a kind of torment.Antonio's way of expressing his fondness was to give me what he thought would bring happiness, whether it was the candy itself or something on the candy wrapper."No, I can't eat it. There's even a message from Tony for you today!" My student forcefully handed the candy to me. "Allison, you haven't even read it yet. If I just take it away like this, it would be very impolite."Then she reluctantly returned to the group in rehearsal.I held up the bag of candy, and there was a small card attached to the packaging. When I opened the card, Antonio's handwriting was clearly

They told me that after wrapping up their day's training and walking down the stairs, the most anticipated moment was seeing Antonio's smiling face. He often placed a candy jar on the table by the door during the time the children finished their training, with a sign that read "Free Tasting".The children said it was Antonio's reward for their hard work. When I inquired about it, he just scratched his head shyly and said, "Do they think so? I just thought they might want to replenish some sugar after training. If it motivates their training, that would be gr

"Hey, just trying to make conversation. Don't leave so quickly." The man was still reluctant, rushing over to grab my arm and speaking to the bartender on his own. "Another cocktail for this lady.

I'm a mutual friend of Damien and Alex, just as rich."A mutual friend of Damien and Alex?

I accepted Elena's invitation.In Victoria, there were many children who liked ballet, and their eyes were filled with love for it during training.I loved teaching them to dance. As I looked at their smiling faces, I knew why some ballet dancers chose to become teachers.Becoming an excellent ballet dancer was indeed a joy, but discovering more people who loved ballet, teaching them, and watching them aspire to become excellent ballet dancers was also a very fulfilling thing. This was another way of loving ballet.I did my best to teach them the dance techniques I had learned, to adjust their movements for them, and to encourage them when they were tired and sad from training.

Allison POVAfter Alex started accompanying me, I noticed that he would stealthily check his phone every day and then be lost in thought. Although he always quickly covered it up, I was very familiar with him.I thought he probably got a call or a text from his family.Alex didn't reply to them each time, so the texts and calls kept piling up, almost to the point where he had to turn his phone off when he was with me.He didn't want me to spot it, or to notice that he was troubled by the phone calls and texts.Our journey was full of joy, as we had expected it to be when we were young.But I knew I couldn't keep dwelling on the memories of my youth.I was no longer filled with the simple yearning for love like I was when I was young.

I was certain that my soul and body were with her around the clock.Allison turned down Damien's shameless engagement threat and left behind the family she deeply cherished. I believed she took a leap of faith, to be with me.I told her to think about herself, and her decision was to leave everything behind and come to this place with me."Good morning, Allison," I said."Good morning, Alex..."Her voice was still drowsy from just waking up. She couldn't resist my kiss but would only let out a soft, confused moan until the kiss lasted too long, and she'd come to her senses, gently pushing me away with her hand on my chest,

In the accompanying photo, Damien's face was expressionless, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.He looked as if he hadn't recovered from my disappearance.Alex had already gotten the takeout. When the door slammed, I switched back to the TV channel we'd been watching.As I ate, I looked at Alex. He was munching on his pizza. It was as if just being with me, even this small thing could make him happy.I nibbled on another piece of pizza and asked Alex, "Alex, is there anything you want to do?"Alex looked up at me, puzzled."The only thing I want to do is be with you. That will satisfy me no matter what I do."After hearing Alex's words, I confirmed one thing. He was actually still the same person. Alex didn't have a more detailed plan for being with me. As he said, he thought that he would be satisfied as long as he was with me.Family, friends, our future, none of them were as important to him as the present.Alex had always been that naive kid.He reminded me of ou

Allison POVAlex had purchased several different tickets for me. Their destinations were arranged in an irregular pattern on the map.Alex proudly said that he had drawn it by lot, so no matter how Damien tried to figure out where we would go when he found those tickets, he would fail.Then he bought a couple of cruise tickets from different parts of the U.S. coastline. They also went to different destinations. Then he gave me the choice.From it, I drew a ticket to Iceland."Did you know that some people call Iceland the end of the world, Allison?" Alex smiled in surprise after I drew this ticket."It's almost as if it's hinting that we'll elope to the end of the world. I like the moral of going against the entire world."Alex said something so innocent that I didn't know how to respond.While Damien busied himself with preparations for our engagement banquet, I had already boarded a ship bound for Iceland with Alex, who had sneaked out.
