After leaving the hotel, I shook off Raven's hand and quickly headed to the side of the road to hail a taxi. I did not want to stay with them for even a second longer.

I had never thought that my life would have such a shameful part.

I used to be a hopeless romantic, and I had dreamt of having a partner who would be there for me all the time.

Once upon a time, I used to be excited about the simple yet compelling future.

But in the end, I witnessed how rotten someone's love could be. I even had to pick up parts of the mess from the ground just so I look less miserable.

"Darling, do you know Chase well?" Soon after I got into the taxi, Raven sent me a text.

In the past, I would never contact Chase privately to avoid any suspicions about our relationship, and also because I was lazy to socialize.

But now, I should be quite familiar with him...

The thought of Raven's act in the elevator earlier grossed me out. Why did he have to pretend to be very in love with me in front of Cha

    10After tapping on the screen for a long time, I still gave up on replying in the end.I was still afraid of Chase, be it back then or right now.Perhaps it was human nature to avoid harmful things.Half an hour later, I was done with my makeup. I was ready for work.No matter how problematic my relationship and love life were, it should not affect my work. That had always been my principle.Therefore, I would rather vent my resentment and hatred on Chase than let my emotions get in the way of things.I had secretly analyzed my motives for being with Chase..It was one thing to take revenge."The other reason was that I needed to find some kind of pleasure in this filthy and chaotic relationship. I needed to vent my anger and fight for time so that my life can have a buffer and not collapse completely.Chase sent a message at 1 p.m., saying that he was downstairs. I did not expect him to still be downstairs at this hour.He stood in the morning mist with his hands in his po

    12Chase was truly a bold person and someone who kept their promise as well.When I exited through the door, he was already in the elevator. We bumped into each other as I was about to head downstairs.If I had come a little later, he would have come to my house already."He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Chase wrapped his arms around my waist naturally and sniffed me like a puppy.I was so tired that I collapsed in his arms. "This is all part of your plan, isn't it?"Chase did not convict Raven at once. Instead, he left Raven with some hope and just watched how exhausted Raven would get from working for the empty hopes like an outsider.He even invited me, who was Raven's girlfriend, to join in the fun with him.How vicious.Chase raised his hand and pinched my nose. "Don't make me out to be someone so complicated. All I want to do with you is..."He glanced downward with a charming smile.Chase took me back to his house again and pointed proudly to his room as he anno

    14Previously, I had been trying to curry favor with Raven's mother. Now that she knew Raven had successfully proposed to me, she was very excited and chatted with me over a video call for nearly two hours, urging Raven to marry me as soon as possible.I pretended to be shy. "Didn't Raven say that there was a headhunter who wanted to poach him? Won't our marriage get in the way of things?"Raven waved his hand repeatedly. "I'm saving trouble for my new company by settling one of my life's biggest matters before joining them, aren't I? If I were to apply for leave to get married as soon as they recruit me, they'd probably get so frustrated.""Oh wow. He can really change everything to be in his favor," I thought.I nodded in agreement. "That makes sense."Before taking a shower, I put some sleeping pills in Raven's drink. By the time I came out, he was already fast asleep.I glanced at him in disgust and went to the study to continue working.My internal evaluation was coming to

    17I had no idea who found an influencer to talk about the matter and add fuel to the fire, but this scandal between Raven and Kiara remained a hot topic for a long time.In the end, the impact was so great that both of them were fired by their companies.The headhunter who wanted to poach Raven before this avoided him at all costs now.Happily, I discussed with Chase how to deliver the final blow to Raven."When I approached you at first, I thought you would be timid and think that I was a pervert. I didn't expect that you would be even crueller than I was," Chase suddenly said.I was stunned for a moment. It turned out that I had always felt that he was dangerous and he felt that I was cruel."I loved Raven before this, and that is why I hated him so much for cheating on me."Chase nodded and circled his arms around my waist. "But I'm quite grateful to Raven for allowing us to come together."Tonight, Chase seemed to be more sentimental.When I was in a daze at night, Chase

    Author: Ni HaiI had a crush on an uncle for nine years. I was tortured by how people looked at me in the secular world.Last week, I confessed my love to him, but he refused me. This week, he brought his new girlfriend to my house for dinner.When he went to the bathroom, I blocked him and asked, "Did you find a girlfriend so that I could give up?"He answered peacefully, "Because my heart is vacuous."1Starting from the time when I was a freshman, I had a crush on Adrian Lawson.At that time, he was 35 years old. He came and went freely with his SLR camera. Traveling around the world, he shot many photos that were highly praised by other people.I was also studying photography. I heard his legends and admired him. I wanted to be his pupil, but I dared not say it directly, for fear that it might be a burdensome relationship for him.My method was the stupidest. Whenever I had time, I would go to see him with my camera.He usually crossed me out. Most of the time, I was th

    4The blind date did not go well. Because of two things, I could no longer stay in the private room and pretend to be refined and cultured.The boy my father introduced to me was called Ethan Stein. He was the one in the hotel that day.What was even absurd was that the real middleman of this blind date was Adrian.After I slammed the door in front of all the people in the room and left, I immediately took out my cell phone and dialed Adrian's number.When I was waiting for the call to go through, I felt the ringing sound was unbearable as if it were a thorn piercing me.Finally, the ringing sound was over, and the call was connected."Adrian, where are you? I want to see you. Now, right now!" I blurted those words out.There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before I heard a woman saying gently, "Please don't worry. What has happened to you? Adrian is in the bathroom now. I'll tell him later."My heart at once sunk to the bottom. Coldness spread along my li

    7Ethan was a little frightened. He blushed and swallowed several times. Then, he stammered and said, "O-Okay. There are empty rooms in my house."My tone became more and more ambiguous. "What should happen between us has happened. It doesn't matter whether there is an empty room or not."Ethan blinked his eyes several times and was completely at a loss what to do.I looked provocatively at Adrian, looking forward to his reaction.But he just walked past me at a fast pace and strode to the off-road vehicle. Then he opened the car door."Samantha, I'll send you home."I was silent for a moment. Then, I held Ethan's hand and said with a sweet smile, "No, Uncle Lawson. Please go back by yourself."After saying so, I went in the opposite direction with Ethan and got in his car.After we closed the door, Ethan seemed to be thinking about something complicated for a long time.As I adjusted my seat, I explained, "Don't be afraid. I was just joking. I won't go to your house. Please

    9It was late at night when the plane landed. After checking all the ways to return, I found that I had to wait for at least eight hours.Sitting on the chair at the airport, I mulled over the words that Adrian had sent me and had recalled.All kinds of thoughts kept flashing through my mind. My soul was filled with questions and answers, and my mood was changing because of them. As a result, I was covered in cold sweat.I even morbidly felt that everyone passing by was looking at me with sympathy.The passage of time seemed to be slower when I was waiting. I wanted to do something to change my mood. At this time, Ethan sent me a friend request again.It seemed that only with him could I openly talk about the complicated situation.We were about the same age, and he was the only outsider who knew the load on my mind.Was he an outsider?Before I could answer this question, I had accepted his friend request with my emotions taking the upper hand."Haven't you gone to bed yet?"

    12When we got back to the hotel, after a brief contretemps, I lay on top of Jarred. "Didn't you say that we were even?"He pulled the blanket over his face, his chest rising and falling as he laughed, seemingly embarrassed to face this question.I rolled my eyes and laughed. I didn't understand what he meant by "being even" before, but now I realized that this little guy was trying to distance himself from me.But now we had broken our agreement again, so who would pay the breach of contract fee?We had taken our clothes off together tonight."It seems like you're enjoying the show tonight." Seeing him laughing all the time, I sighed.He showed his face and blinked his eyes. "I was really angry at first.""Oh," I said expressionlessly.He laughed again, "Hehe, luckily I didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have known that boss lady cares about me so much."???Where did he find out?I coughed and said, "Work hard and cultivate diligently, there is still plenty of time."……

    10Today at work, Oliver wasn't in the company, so I felt much more relaxed and efficient.Men only slowed down my work.After venting my anger on a workplace crybaby, Ms. Dixon teasingly approached me, "Why do you exude the aura of a fierce and formidable martial arts master?"I replied while sorting out the documents, "She asks for help here and there, why doesn't she split her salary with me?"Ms. Dixon chuckled and said, "Alright, how about we have some fun and blow off some steam tonight?"I ran my fingers through my hair and felt a bit annoyed, "Sorry, I can't."Ms. Dixon understood my expression and asked mysteriously, "Is it because of Mr. Hudson? Someone saw you two together at a bar last time."I didn't say anything.She leaned closer and asked, "There are rumors about you two in the company. Tell me, is it true?"My heart sank and my face darkened.Ms. Dixon noticed the change in the atmosphere and left with a few embarrassed laughs.Jarred didn't contact me all

    8We randomly picked a street vendor and sat on a small bench by the road, enjoying the evening breeze and occasionally taking sips of beer without saying a word.Jarred pursed his lips and seemed lost in thought but didn't say anything.The atmosphere was relaxed and not awkward.I quite liked this way of getting along, where we could speak when we wanted to speak and be silent when we wanted to be silent.We didn't have to worry about anything.'Why don't you drink?' I bumped his shoulder and handed him my half-finished beer.He smiled sweetly with his eyes narrowed, "Boss lady is difficult to handle when she's drunk, so I won't drink. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it later."……I pinched his cheek, "Do you really like me, or is it just because I'm a woman?"It was the same as the question Oliver asked me today, "Do you really like him, or is it just because he's a man?"I wanted to hear how he would answer.He lowered his eyelids, and his hot breath sprayed on my

    5I still couldn't calm down when I returned to the hotel after a long time.I rummaged through my phone, feeling more and more annoyed and a little empty... I really wanted to call Jarred and scold him.I had been away for so long, and he didn't even bother to call me once!This was too much!Was he seeing someone else?Didn't he say that he liked his boss lady the most?Did these words only work in bed?After a long struggle in my mind, I tried to find Jarred's phone number in my contact list when a strange number called me.I answered it, and heard a familiar voice on the other end. "Boss lady, it's me."My heart skipped a beat, and I got a little nervous. "What's wrong?"There was silence for a while, and I urged him, "Just talk!"He coughed a couple of times and said carefully, "Boss lady, I'm at the high-speed railway station now. Can you come to pick me up? I've lost my phone, wallet, and luggage."Jarred had silently taken the high-speed train to the city I was on

    Author: Ni Hai"Is my boss lady avoiding me?" He approached step by step, his slender fingers hooked into his tie knot and lightly tugged left and right, his movements elegant and sexy.My heart was pounding uncontrollably."Jarred, if you have something to say, don't..."My voice was hoarse and completely lacking in confidence, causing my face to instantly turn red."My boss lady," a triumphant light flashed in his eyes as he murmured softly, "We are legally married."Okay, the plan to run away from home failed.1Jarred was indeed my husband, but at first, we weren't really married.To be more specific, it all started from the first time I pounced on him.That day, I woke up from a hangover and found a man lying next to me.His facial features and physique possessed a tender charm...Before I could even recall the absurd past, the man frowned, unhurriedly waking up, and unconsciously hugged me, his lips touching my forehead, giving me a good morning kiss.The whole pro

    10On his day off, he came to meet my mom with me.When my mom learned that he was a cop, not a soldier like she had assumed, she pulled me aside softly. "Being a cop is a dangerous job. You shouldn't have to live in fear and worry."I cut her off. "Mom. I appreciate your love and concern for me. But I need you to give him a chance to show you who he really is and why I love him."My mom knew that I always made my own choices since I was little and didn't argue much, but when she talked to Darrian, she often looked sad and worried.Darrian and I left my mom's house after dinner. Instead of driving, he took my hand, and we strolled in the night.I could tell he had picked up on my mom's thoughts and was feeling conflicted.The moon was shining brightly, casting its light over the world.I held Darrian's hand, resting my head on his arm, and said, "Darrian, I'm here for you."He turned his head and looked at me, his eyes filled with warmth. "Remy, I'm so lucky to have you.""Wh

    7The party was at a restaurant that we used to go to when we were students. It was very lively.My friends must have gotten there early to put on their best act of judging my potential husband.Darrian bought some flowers on the way and handed them to my friends. He pretended to be cool, but a slight blush on his ears betrayed his nervousness.I sat next to him and whispered. "What are you nervous about? You've already met my mom."He whispered back. "I'm not nervous. I just feel like I'm betraying my bachelor buddies by skipping dinner with them and having dinner with so many girls."I rolled my eyes, seeing through his fake bravado. "Darrian, you're the only one here with a stiff smile."Darrian had to avoid alcohol after work in case of an emergency. He told everyone why and they were cool with it. He had a good time talking to them honestly without drinking.After a few drinks, I held Darrian's hand with the courage that alcohol gave me and asked with tears in my eyes, "Am

    4Darrian walked out without a word, leaving me on the floor.I was stunned by my own actions.The last two words on my screen were "I do".I did ruin my love life for good.I curled up in a ball and waited for a long time before I gathered the courage to peek at Darrian through the door.He searched the area for any signs of trouble. I watched him from a distance, hoping he would notice me."Darrian, are you ignoring me?" I asked in a weak voice.He paused for a second, then turned his head to face me. "I need some time to think."I felt a flicker of hope, and he added, "Calm down and have fun.""Sure," I said. Well, at least he was still talking to me. That was something.I went back to my room and tried to find some nice pajamas that could impress Darrian, but I ended up falling asleep on my stomach.When I opened my eyes, it was already seven in the morning.Darrian was still leaning on the door, not moving a muscle.Poor guy. He must have had a hard night.I felt so

    Author: Ni HaiI never expected to meet him again. The last time I saw him, he was a clumsy barista who messed up my order nine times in a row. I felt sorry for him, so I tried to crack a joke. "Hey, are you an undercover cop?"He looked startled and denied it quickly. But as soon as I left the cafe, he locked the door and disappeared.Later on, we ran into each other again. He stopped me and said, "You're under arrest, because you have stolen my heart, darling."1Before the blind date, I only knew that he was a policeman, and that he was tall and handsome.My mom, Rachel, had warned me that she would disown me from the Rae family if we didn't get along. She was well aware of my weakness for men in military uniform, and she had gone to great lengths to find one for me.Needless to say, I was nervous as hell.When I caught sight of him, I was shocked.
