I had a look at Aline's laptop and immediately checked it. As usual, the stock charts and so on were opened up.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I wondered.

I opened Aline's purchase history and wrote down the names and codes of the stocks.

"Twenty million dollars for just this one stock?" I whispered to myself. I read the name of the company Aline had bought.

I had never even heard of a company that was famous enough to have such a name. Somehow I had a feeling that something was not quite right.

"It doesn't make any sense for someone to buy so many shares in a company that is unknown to me".

Unsure of my analysis, I had a look at the company's web site. It had a very ugly and unorganized look. Even the design had the look and feel of a high school student's work.

"This is so unprofessional", for a company in which Aline bought $20 million of shares, it was obvious that the company's website was not up to par.

I remembered that my preferred fiction reading site was better.

That was no

    I saw Aline's laptop and immediately checked it. As usual, the stock charts and so on were opened up."What are these stocks?"

    I acquired the list of stocks in which Aline had invested. They included a number of companies, names unfamiliar to my ears.I approached Rafe's room with an urgent matter. "Rafe, we need to talk," I announced, knocking on the door. Almost immediately, Rafe appeared, Aline by his side, her expression clouded with somberness."Luna, I must insist that you stop disrupting my husband," Aline declared, her tone harsh. Her gaze was piercing, almost as if she harbored a silent wish for my destruction.Unimpressed, I locked eyes with Rafe. I saw a glimmer of understanding in his eyes."Aline, I need a moment with Luna," Rafe intervened, politely distancing himself from Aline. Although she muttered her disapproval, her reaction was strangely subdued compared to her usual temper.Aline's behavior suggested a realization, perhaps influenced by Rafe's earlier change in attitude.Once outside, Rafe asked, "What's on your mind?" His action of locking the door, despite Aline's presence inside, almo

    In the early morning hours, Aline and Rafe had already locked horns.Their disagreement echoed through the corridors. The specifics of their argument escaped me, and yet a phrase from Aline broke through the muted exchange and hung in the air with poignant clarity."Why won't you hug me?" she begged. A simple question that somehow brought a smile to my lips.The day unfolded with a strange beauty. A kind of grim satisfaction that came from witnessing Aline's misery.It was as if the misfortune of this terrible woman infused the atmosphere with a twisted joy."Ah, am I in heaven now?" I wondered, stunned by the surreal turn of events.The sharp sound of a door slamming brought me back to reality, signaling Aline's hasty departure.It was not difficult to surmise that she had gone to seek comfort or perhaps advice from her father.Once the storm of emotions had settled, I left my sanctuary. The living room, now a stronghold of calm, revealed Rafe crouched on the big sofa.His attention

    "Shall we step outside for a while?" Rafe suggested, his voice cutting through the aftermath of our intense discussion."Where exactly?" I inquired and was met with his mysterious grin.This was typical of Rafe. Still, I suspected that our adventure would once again be intertwined with the werewolf tales."Back to the werewolf legend?" I inquired, only to see Rafe dismiss the idea with a shake of his head."No, there are no new developments in that regard at the moment," he admitted."So this is just a distraction?" I asked. A hint of disbelief colored my tone.It was rare for Rafe to invite me along unless it involved lycanthropic secrets, so this occasion was a notable diversion."Wait, this wouldn't have anything to do with Aline's shares, would it?" I speculated, to which Rafe's affirmative nod confirmed my suspicion.The probability that Rafe, this enigmatic figure, would extend an invitation for a social engagement like a date was slim.It was a reasonable conclusion that his in

    Arriving at a substantial building, the presence of a sign bearing the name of a prominent law firm was unmistakable."Is this the office of your acquaintance?" I asked Rafe, to which he replied in the affirmative.Upon exiting the vehicle, I was greeted by a number of guards who displayed a remarkable familiarity with Rafe.In the midst of them, another individual emerged and offered a warm greeting to Rafe."This is Kant, a connoisseur of legal matters," Rafe introduced, facilitating our acquaintance.The name resonated with me as I recalled his frequent appearances on television programs. My memory served me well: this gentleman was known for his involvement in important legal matters."Mr. Rafe, how can I be of assistance today?" the gentleman inquired with courteous professionalism, ushering us into a room within the soaring structure.In the private chambers of the individual known as Kant, the air was thick with anticipation."Kant, I seek your expertise in the legal maneuverin

    After finishing business with Rafe's lawyer friend, we found ourselves back home. Suddenly, Rafe's phone buzzed with a message from Aline."Don't forget my birthday party tonight," it read. Though short, Aline's tone seemed to be tinged with irritation toward Rafe."So, are we going?" I asked, turning to Rafe.I remembered that Aline had invited me earlier, a memory that had just resurfaced. Her invitation, if I remembered correctly, had been laced with mockery, calling me a poor man.This made me apprehensive about attending her birthday party. It felt risky."We should," Rafe said firmly. "We'll tread carefully for now, so as not to arouse suspicion."With that, Rafe reloaded the truck and we headed for the town's business district. No matter how often I saw it, the sight of the bustling shops, each more luxurious than the last, always left me in awe."Where exactly are we going?" I asked, curious about our destination."We're here to buy clothes," Rafe announced, catching me off gu

    Aline's party was a grand affair, held in the magnificent State Palace."Is this even allowed?" I whispered to Rafe, noticing his obvious discomfort with the whole event.It was hard to believe. Here we were in the State Palace, the very heart and symbol of our country, transformed into a venue for the President's daughter's extravagant party."See that man over there? He's a diplomat," Rafe said quietly, nodding toward a man engaged in conversation."And that woman he's talking to is the foreign minister of another country," he added, pointing to her.I was in awe. Never in my wildest dreams had I thought I'd be rubbing shoulders with such influential figures. This event was on a whole other level compared to Rafe and Aline's wedding.Thinking back, their wedding seemed almost rushed. Aline and Rafe had been engaged for barely a day before they tied the knot. But here, at this party, everything was meticulously planned and opulent, a stark contrast to their simple wedding."Dear gues

    I stood next to Rafe and inhaled the mixture of fancy perfumes around us.Then the main attraction, Aline, dazzled everyone, appearing in a stunning red gown."Wow, this is incredible!" I thought. Even though I disliked Aline, her dress was truly stunning.When the crowd clapped, Rafe and I didn't join in. Aline, with her inflated ego, didn't need any more praise.One of the hosts then announced, "This masterpiece was created by the renowned Mr. Claude Konto." This led to another round of applause.Curious, I leaned over to Rafe and whispered, "Who is Claude Konto?"Rafe whispered back, "He's a legend among tailors and designers. His creations are always exceptional."I began to hear whispers about Aline's dress costing a whopping hundred thousand dollars."Insane... how much ice cream could you get for that?" I muttered to myself.Yes, the excitement of my life was comparing everything to ice cream.Suddenly, Aline spotted Rafe next to me and called out, "Ah, my dear husband!" She wa

    We visited my grandmother's grave and found the place unkempt. As Rafe had mentioned, her grave had remained intact, contradicting my belief that it had been torn down due to the surrounding new construction."Luna, come on," Rafe urged, leading me to the cemetery.I grabbed some tools and started clearing the overgrown grass."Why hasn't this cemetery been torn down?" I asked, aware of the ruthless business tactics often employed these days, where even homes are not spared for the sake of profit."The company that owns the adjacent property is having financial difficulties," Rafe informed me.Then he added, "I plan to buy all that land," leaving me stunned."Thank you," I said, realizing that expressing gratitude had become a habit for me. I truly appreciated all that he had done.After tending to the grave, Rafe and I decided to dine at a nearby restaurant. Its simple charm was refreshing, a reminder of how much I missed such unpretentious places.Having spent the past month indulgi

    I never thought it would end. The last few months have been really exhausting for me and I'm glad they're finally over."Luna, what are you going to wear?" Rafe asked as he approached me with a group of people behind him. They seemed to be famous fashion designers."What do you think would look good on me?" I replied, bringing out Rafe's playful side."Anything looks good on you, Luna," he flirted, earning nothing more than a playful flick of my tongue in return. Rafe laughed heartily, his demeanor so different from before.He seemed much more alive and approachable now, almost like a new person."Did you hear about Faghri? He's going to run for president," Rafe announced, taking me completely by surprise. Faghri, once notorious for his ruthless ways, had transformed himself into a respectable figure, and now he was eyeing the presidency."Rafe, you're serious, aren't you?" I asked, looking for confirmation in his expression. He nodded solemnly, confirming the surprising news."I'm se

    That morning, the shocking news reverberated across all media platforms, sending waves of disbelief around the world. Television programs, newspapers, and online outlets all carried the same headline: "Assassination at the President's Office: President Etas fatally shot by trusted aide". The uniformity of the reports, which all followed the same chronology, was striking, with not a single source challenging the narrative of President Etas' untimely demise.In stark contrast to this grim news, a more personal story was unfolding in an old but grand home. Here, Rafe and Aline were seen in a tender embrace, their affection evident in front of Rafe's parents. The atmosphere was one of familial warmth and impending change."Rafe, have you decided who you are going to marry?" inquired Rafe's father, a hint of expectation in his voice. Rafe's answer was a nod, followed by a frank admission, "Legally, I am married to Luna. But in matters of the heart, not yet." His words revealed a complicate

    The presidential palace was eerily quiet that day, a stark contrast to the tightly secured perimeter outside. Inside, however, the atmosphere in the President's private chamber was anything but calm.Aline's father, the President, was visibly seething with rage. His face was contorted with rage, the veins on his neck were pronounced, and his body tensed as if ready to spring into action. The anger inside him had reached a boiling point."Bastards! I'll kill them all," he roared, the words thick with raw emotion.The tragic death of his daughter Aline had devastated him. Ironically, he had denied her Secret Service protection out of respect for her wishes to engage in something illegal, a decision he now bitterly regretted."I swear, everyone involved will pay," he bellowed, his tone dripping with vehemence.In a fit of desperation, he threw a paper across his desk, his demeanor mirroring that of someone lost in a terrifying episode of unbridled madness.At that moment, there was a ten

    On the other side of the picturesque park where love once blossomed, next to a quiet street, Faghri sat alone, lost in thought."It seems I took too long to realize it," he murmured to himself, reflecting on his past mistakes.It was a moment of deep regret for Poria. He lamented that he had not met Luna earlier and thought about a different fate."If I had met Luna earlier, would I have been the one she loved?" Faghri wondered aloud.He sat brooding in solitude, struggling with a fate that seemed inexplicable and unfair."Never mind," he finally sighed, trying to accept what he couldn't change.As tears trickled down his cheeks, Faghri quickly wiped them away, trying to regain his composure.Looking back, he noticed that Luna and Rafe had returned. They seemed to have reconciled and returned to normal. Faghri watched them, a mixture of relief and sadness in his heart."How was it? Was the curse finally lifted?" asked Faghri, trying to maintain a calm and undisturbed demeanor regardin

    Luna chased Rafe to the edge of the highway, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Rafe stood dangerously close to the edge, his eyes a lifeless gray that reflected his apparent resignation to ending his life."Rafe!" Luna's voice broke through the tense air, a mixture of fear and relief coloring her tone.Rafe turned, his expression one of disbelief. "Why are you here?" he asked, his words laced with disbelief.Without a word, Luna delivered a powerful punch to Rafe's cheek, leaving him momentarily stunned. Her voice, trembling with a cocktail of emotions, scolded him, "What's the point of us surviving all this time if you're just going to throw your life away?"As Rafe looked at her, his eyes changed, darkening with a resurgence of hatred. "Luna...go away. I don't want to kill you," he said softly, his voice strained with the effort of suppressing his darker impulses.It was all because of the Alpha Oath that Rafe harbored a deep-seated desire for revenge agai

    I opened the letter Faghri had just given me. It was a letter written directly from Rafe, who was nowhere to be found.**To Luna,I know I've caused you a lot of trouble. I selfishly planned to save us both from this terrible fate, but now I realize that may not be possible. It seems that one of us must make a sacrifice, and I have chosen to be the one to do so.Luna, perhaps we will meet again in our next reincarnation, hopefully free of this curse. Before I met you, I lived a lonely life, but your presence brought color to my world.For you, Luna, I cannot break the Alpha Oath. After Aline's death, my desire for revenge has grown. I am torn between wanting to hurt you and loving you.You no longer need to look for me. If my father asks, please give him this letter. I do not want to bring suffering to anyone, so I have decided to end my life.I believe the waves will take me to the next life.Thank you, Luna.**The message ended with my heart racing wildly.
