Li Sun Mi slipped into her purple pajamas, the soft fabric gliding over her skin. She moved to her room's dressing table and began her nightly skincare routine, applying a hydrating facial mask. The mask felt cool and soothing. She glanced at the reflection of Jerry, who was seated on the edge of her bed, legs crossed with a concerned expression on his face.

"You shouldn't give out too much information about yourself.” Jerry warned, referring to her discussion earlier with Vince.

Li Sun Mi sighed, adjusting the mask on her face. "I guess I got too comfortable.” She admitted.

Jerry's brow furrowed. "Your parents would have my head if any harm befalls you.” He said.

She turned to face him, leaning against the vanity. "I know, Jerry. It's just... I feel different when I'm around Michael. There's something about him that makes me feel safe, like I can be myself.”

Jerry looked at her thoughtfully. "Different how?"

Li Sun Mi paused, searching for the right words. "It's hard to explain. I fe

Please ensure everything is in place by tomorrow morning," Michael instructed.As he ended the call, he glanced at his watch, noting the time.

The event planners are making good progress."Vince nodded, suddenly his expression became serious. "That's good to hear. I also wanted to talk to you about something else."Michael raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"Vince hesitated for

  • The Alpha’s Dionesa   The remembrance

    The day for the remembrance ceremony finally came, guests mingled quietly. At the front of the room, a large photograph of Layla smiled down on them, capturing her vibrant spirit.Imani stood at the podium with her protruding belly, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked out over the assembled guests. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before speaking."Thank you all for coming to remember Layla with us.” Imani began. "She was a bright light in our lives, and though she's no longer with us, her memory lives on in our hearts."Imani paused, glancing at the photograph of Layla. “I remember this one time during a camping trip in middle school, Layla decided she wanted to bake cookies for everyone. But instead of sugar, she accidentally used salt. The look on her face when we all took a bite was priceless! She was so embarrassed, but we all ended up laughing about it for days.” Imani said and the guests chuckled softly.One of Layla's friends, Sarah, stepped forward to s

While Mrs. Brown, Imani, Vince and other well wishers boarded the first class.IN THE FIRST CLASS:Imani and Vince sat opposite each other, while Mrs Brown sat together with a friend of hers who was around the same age as her.“Have you received any valuable updates on Layla's mother's whereabouts?” Imani asked Vince, while nibbling on a cupcake.“Not yet, he is quite a busy man. He should find something by tonight.” Vince replied, letting out a deep breath. “How are you feeling? You know the doctor advised you not to travel in your condition but you insisted.”“I feel fine Vince, I am perfectly fine. I just desperately wish to lay my eyes on Mrs Johnson, it's been such a long time.” Imani replied, still munching

    “I just got a call from my friend.” Vince announced as Imani stepped into their hotel room with a towel draped over her chest.Using a face towel Imani wiped off the water from her face and hands before she stared deeply at Vince. “What friend?” She inquired, making her way to the wardrobe to pick out pajamas for the night.“The one with the information about Layla's mother.” Vince responded and Imani paused in her tracks.“What did he say?” She asked, turning to face him.“He said that he bumped into her again, this time around in a supermarket. He claimed that he overheard her in a heated conversation with someone but he couldn't understand what she said as she spoke fluently in Mandarin. But the last words she said before the call ended were spoken in English.” Vince began.“What did she say?” Imani asked.“I don't want to lose my daughter again.” Vince replied. His words caused Imani to drop her face towel in shock.“Are you sure about this?” Imani asked, her eyes wide open in sho

    Jerry walked up to Michael. “It would be nice if you took Sun Mi to the dance floor.” Jerry suggested.“And why would that be?” Michael asked.“It would be nice for both brands, rumors are the best advertisement. If a relationship rumor springs, attending events together and fooling the general public. Would not only widen Sun Mi's opportunities but Browns Inc as well.” Imani explained on Jerry's behalf.“Yeah what she said.” Jerry chimned in.“I don't think I want that to be the way to expand Browns Inc.” Michael responded.“Just dance with the girl, it's not such a big deal. Besides, celebrities do it all the time.” Vince added.“And they never fall in love?” Michael asked.“The question should be, will you fall in love?” Vince asked, sipping champagne from a glass.Michael glared at Vince then turned to face Jerry. “Where is she?” “Over there.” Jerry replied, pointing at a table not too far from them.Sun Mi was seated with other models on a table they were engaging in a basic c

    “You did not tell me about any crazy speech, don't say anything insane out there.” Michael warned Vince with a death glare.Before Vince could retort Carol interrupted. “Good Evening Sir.” She greeted Michael with her head bowed low. “I know that this might be a wrong time to ask for this, but I am currently feeling extremely weak. And I would really love to go back to the hotel. I know that I should be here supervising the hired staff, but I won't be able to hold on for much longer.” Carol said, with her head bowed low while sniffing back her obviously fake tears.“It's time for my speech.” Vince announced with a mischievous smile then he got up and made his way to the center of the hall.“You can go back to the hotel, the event is almost over. You don't have much to contribute here anyways.” Michael dismissed her coldly.Carol looked up and stared at Michael for a short while before she turned around and made her way out of the hall.“She likes you.” Imani revealed, causing Michael

  • The Alpha’s Dionesa   Dinner with the Johnsons

    The event had long ended and every guest had gone to their respective homes or hotel rooms. Michael stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, while he made use of a smaller towel to wipe out the beads of water on his body.When he was done he sat down at the edge of the bed and began to think about everything that went down today during the grand opening. From being rude to Senator Bong Won Yun, because he had belittled Sun Mi. To actually listening to Imani and asking Sun Mi for a dance and finally finding it hard to say that he doesn't care about her.He couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that had been weighing on him since Imani's words. He couldn't believe he was developing feelings for Sun Mi, especially after being responsible for Layla's death. He started questioning his own morality and wondered why he was capable of loving anyone else.“Michael, you need to forget about the past and move on.” Imani had said, but it was easier said than done.~~

    As the plane soared through the skies, Michael, Sun Mi, Carol, Jerry, Imani, Vince, Mrs Brown and other business partners settled into their seats, exhausted from the events of the past few days.In business class, Jerry and Sun Mi chatted quietly, their conversation carrying over to where Michael sat."So, what was it like dancing with Michael?" Jerry asked, his eyes sparkled with curiosity.Sun Mi shrugged. "It was nothing special. Just a dance.”She said with a nonchalant expression.“Are you sure? Your heart did not flutter or skip a beat when he placed his hands on your waist?” He inquired.“Was it meant to?” She clapped back.Michael felt a pang of hurt listening to her words.“Why do I feel this way? I should be happy, this is what I wanted after all.” Michael said, trying so hard to convince himself.He decided to push his emotions aside, trying to focus on preparing for the conference call he would have in a few hours time.IN THE FIRST CLASS:Vince was on a mission, he neede

    River's POV:The black dress my dad bought for me to wear to the dinner was strapless, above the knee, and a bit too tight. I could barely breathe in it, and I had no idea what material it's made of, but it felt almost as strong as plastic. It really cinched my waist and accentuated my curves perfectly.I paired it up with ankle strap heels, a pearl necklace, earrings and bangles. I made sure I put on light makeup. I didn't want to come out as desperate.After glancing at myself at the mirror for a third time I took a deep breath, picked up my phone and made my way downstairs.The dining table was already set, my dad was seated on the head of the table as usual, my mom was nowhere to be seen. I looked around and realized that the Milton's were yet to arrive.I glanced at the time on the top of my phone screen and I saw that it was forty minutes past nine. The agreed time for the dinner was nine so they were forty minutes late.Suddenly, Lola ran into the dining hall, “The Milton's are

The whole house has been busy from installing new house decorations to brewing crazy recipes in the kitchen. Mom and Lola have been in the kitchen all day supervising the chefs.

He didn't care about the noise he made or the possibility of the door falling apart, he just kept on knocking.Until the door was pushed open revealing George standing not too far from him.“Are you insane, were you trying to break down my door?” George asked rhetorically.“Are you not going to invite me to Georgie?” Li Ping asked not caring about the angry look on George's face.George took a deep breath in an attempt to control his anger. “Did Aiden send you here?”“Let me in and I will tell you who sent me.” Li Ping said with a sheepish smile.George stared daggers at him then moved aside, gesturing for Li Ping to Walk in.George's apartment was filled with high-tech gadgets, maps, and surveillance equipment.Li Ping stared around for a while before sitting down on the couch.“Do you really live here?” Li Ping asked while staring at a pile of take outs at t

    "Hey." River said as she made her way to Derek.Derek turned to face her with a weird look in his eyes."Is there a problem? You look annoyed." River asked."Well, that's because I am annoyed." Derek answered."What got you annoyed, is the arcade not to your liking? Should we go somewhere else?" River inquired."You know I don't understand what your problem is, you're the one who wanted us to come here when we got here you were acting all weird and suddenly you're all happy." Derek said."Is your problem the fact that I'm happy or is there something else?""My problem is that you ran off to meet some dude all upset and annoyed, and now you are all happy. If you had a man in your life, why insist on making things work.""I only said that he looked like someone I knew. I don't recall mentioning that he was once a man in my life. Tell me what's your problem exactly?""My problem is that the young man walked up to me saying that you had denied ever knowing me." Derek answered.River: “...

    Aiden sat in front of the television in his modest apartment, where a female newscaster reported the latest business news."On business news tonight, AD Innovations has acquired yet another enterprise," the newscaster announced. "Yesterday, it was reported that Twilight Incorporated had suddenly gone bankrupt. A few hours ago, it was confirmed that AD Innovations successfully negotiated the purchase of Twilight Incorporated. The company will soon proceed with rebranding."Aiden smirked mischievously as he switched off the TV. He dialed a private number on his cell phone, which surprisingly went through. "Good work," he said before ending the call.Putting on his jacket and grabbing his helmet, he made his way to the Arcade for its grand opening.River stood in front of Aiden's bustling arcade, a sign proclaiming "Grand Opening" greeted visitors at the entrance.

    "Oh, trust me, it is," August countered."So what are we talking about here, millions or billions?" She continued"He hails from a wealthy family and is affluent himself, perhaps boasting billions. Trust me, I couldn't care less," River replied"So, is this gamer guy some kind of legendary gamer or does he own a gaming company?""He owns an arcade downtown," River replied."Seriously?" August sounded incredulous. "Your problem is choosing a scooter over a Bentley. Honey, you need relationship therapy ASAP.""I don't know why I thought you could be useful. Goodnight," River said, ending the call abruptly and switching off her phone to avoid any further disruptions. She lay back, staring at the ceiling for a moment before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.It was past 11:00 in the morning, and River was just getting up. She quickly brushed her teeth and took a shower before slipping into a pair of shorts and a white top. Rushing downstairs on her way to the kitchen, she noticed

    River nodded, feeling awkward. "Yeah, it was urgent, that's why.""I've noticed this before, it's like you always have something urgent going on. On our first date, you were on a call when I approached you and you couldn't stop looking at your phone all through the little time we spent together. It was as though you were expecting a call or something. And today at the cinema, you seemed lost in your thoughts. It's like you have a lot of calculations going on in your head," Derek observed.River felt a surge of frustration. "Goodnight, Derek. I would have invited you in, but it's too late now. My parents must be asleep. Goodbye," she said abruptly, opening the car door and stepping out, already feeling upset.River quietly ascended the stairs on her way to her room.
