Sold to the Bossy Billionaire Chapter 29 Alex's Farewell
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. We h

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

Damien POVI could barely remember how I brought Allison back to our residence.After entering the room, I dragged her to the bed and threw her onto it.I covered her eyes with another black blindfold. Then I cuffed her wrists to the head of the bed.I stuffed a ball into Allison's mouth.Those were the ones I'd prepared before, the ones I'd wanted to use when making love to Allison, with a tender attitude, not the ones I had now.After I was done, it was so quiet that only my heavy breathing and Allison's soft struggles could be heard."Oh..." Allison twisted her wrist. The rough hemp rope made her wrist a little painful. She frowned."Allison... Allison..."I licked the tears from Allison's eyes and swallowed the salty liquid. I slowly kissed her neck from the corner of her eyes.My lips brushed against the soft skin on the side of Allison's neck. Then, I bit it lightly with my teeth, causing the skin to turn red."Why are you doing this to me?" I'm the one you chose, aren

Allison POVI couldn't suppress my surprise after Damien said that he wanted to be engaged to me.Today was not an April Fool's day for jokes.This was not a good joke to make.Damien stared at me with his eyes. His lips did not curve because the muscles on his face were tense.The figure in those eyes was all me.Realizing that this wasn't a joke, I began to suspect that he had lost his mind in a moment of anger.This speculation made me uneasy.Damien should have no reason to lose his rationality for me. Even if he lost his rationality, I didn't think Damien would make such a decision to get engaged to me.Then, there was only one impossible speculation left. Damien was serious. He wanted to be engaged to me.I thought I looked at Damien in disbelief. Damien became uneasy under my long gaze."Damien..." I debated how to answer him. He made my mind go blank. I didn't know how to react.Was there something wrong with our relationship? Damien was a rational, cold, and cruel

"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

My first encounter with Antonio left a positive impression on me, but it seemed he was even more taken with me.Every time I visited the training class, I could see him warmly greeting me, his smile genuine and friendly, creating anticipation for a wonderful day.His warm and friendly demeanor was not just toward me but extended to the entire town, which made him quite popular.The children in the training class adored Antonio. 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. She's not ready to leave yet.""Take your hands off. Your behavior is extremely rude." I struggled."Come on. Aren't you following the news about wealthy men? I'm a mutual friend of Damien and Alex, just as rich."A mutual friend of Damien and Alex? If Damien and Alex heard this man's lie, their expressions would be as terrifying as if they had swallowed a fly.They didn't have any mutual friends, and even if they did, they wouldn't be here, dressed in cheap clothes and harassing a lady who was about to leave.I saw the bartender's face was difficult but dared not to stop. Perhaps this man was a somewhat famous ruffian.When I was helpless, Antonio Gatti suddenly appeared, standing between me and the man."Please, this is harassment.

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. It made me happy.Looking at the young girls, I thought of Olivia and Daniel every day.Susan would take care of them for me, but that didn't stop me from missing them every day.What were Olivia and Daniel doing now?

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.
