At that point, Griffon paused. His hawk eyes, which hadn’t had a proper rest in the past few days, were red-rimmed once more when he looked at Taya. “The French restaurant is not a romantic restaurant for couples. It’s just an ordinary western restaurant.” “The gla*s installed in the restaurant is LOW-E gla*s, which means guests can’t see what’s going on outside at night…” Eyelashes of the stunned Taya fluttered uncontrollably when she heard those words. Griffon’ fingers were gentle and delicate as always in stroking her eyebrows as if to overcome her insecurities. “Emelyn’s identity is quite unique in the sense that it involves the Aronland royal pack. If we had to go on a mission, we must forge an alibi.” “She requested my help for the two of us to act as a couple, but I didn’t want to, so I looked out the window. It just so happened that you showed up at that time.” After his words died away, he embraced her petite figure in his arms, the pair of hawk eyes under the thick eyelashes
Griffon raised his trembling fingertips to wipe the streaming tears on her cheeks. Under the hawk eyes were looks of distress. The man, too, had his eyes brimming with tears. It was his first time hearing her express her love and cry out her disappointment in him. Only then did he come to the realization that his Taya loved him dearly… Yet, he had hurt her, not to mention how he had never given her enough sense of security, which led to her being so insecurely sensitive. He wanted to own her, but he had never considered how tortured she would feel… His fingers weaved through her hair and clasped the back of her head so that her uncontrollable sobbing self could lean against his shoulder. “I promise you that from now on, no other woman will appear by my side other than you.” ere the When he said so, it was like taking an oath. In his eyes were unwavering determination and a promise to her of his lifetime. Taya, who lay against his shoulders, hugged him hard, and after crying her eyes o
Taya.” Griffon pressed on the paper and looked down at Taya, who was serious and focused on drawing “I’ll help you restore your identity and set up a company for you. You can design under your own name in the future,” he offered. Hearing this, Taya’s hand, which was holding the measuring ruler, paused for a moment. She looked up at Griffon and shook her head without hesitation. “If you’re going to restore my identity, then wait till I fulfill Rosalie’s dream first,” she replied. Rosalie had taken on more than fifty projects that she was interested in and ended up pa*sing away before she could get started on them. As her sister, Taya had to finish all of them so that Rosalie could rest in peace. “Forget about setting up a company, too,” she added. She wanted to stand on the same stage as him with her own ability after fulfilling her sister’s dream. Although it was impossible for her to reach his level, at the very least, she wouldn’t remain like how she was right then: lacking educatio
When Neil arrived at Sancastle and saw the fort-like villa in front of him, the calm expression on his face collapsed instantly. He lowered his head and glanced at his slippers, which were supposed to express his indifference for Griffon. Looking at the villa again, he suddenly felt that the decision he made was rather hasty. The door to the villa was opened. Neil gulped and walked inside. Seeing that the interior of the villa was even more resplendent than the outside, Neil regretted it even more. “Taya, do you know where I stayed the day you were taken away by Alpha Knight?” he asked. While browsing through the drawings, Taya asked, “Where?” Neil flashed a clean, stiff smile. “I stayed under a flyover with a bunch of homeless people.” Taya’s finger, which was tracing the drawings, paused for a moment. Apologetically, she murmured, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know…” Neil waved his hands, showing that it was fine. “Even though your living conditions are better than mine, you lost a million d
Seeing her bright smile, Griffon felt the dull pain that had been looming in his heart since the night before had suddenly dissipated a lot. He took her hand and led her to the changing room. After personally helping her change into horse riding clothes, he turned around and ordered someone to fetch his own exclusive clothes. Taya, who was waiting outside the door, leaned on the railing and kicked the stones on the ground out of boredom when the door behind her slowly opened. He emerged facing the sun with a face as cold as snow. He was wearing a pair of black sungla*ses, which made his facial features even more well-defined. He had perfect body proportions, with white, body-hugging clothes on his torso and a black belt tightly wrapped around his toned waist. His lower body was dressed in white breeches, and his thighs are outlined to make them taller. Below the knees, there were a pair of black high-riding boots. The man held a helmet in one hand, turning his head slightly against th
Watching as Jessica gracefully made her way back to the riding track, Taya clenched her hands into fists and tightened them. She locked her gaze on Jessica, who got on the horse and quickly caught up with Griffon as if she had said something to him. Griffon slowed down, and then he followed the direction in which Jessica pointed and saw Taya sitting in the rest area. He and Jessica were riding their horses side-by-side. They seemed like a perfect match, while Taya, who couldn’t ride a horse, could only watch from a distance. The fact that those born at the bottom of the social ladder were at a disadvantage since birth was despair-inducing. It was harder for them to learn things like that after growing up. Although Taya had gotten Jessica riled up, she still felt insecure deep down. Thus, she slowly looked away, got up, and walked to the changing room. Jessica told Griffon, “Griffon, Taya is relying on you to back herself up. She’s deliberately acting arrogant in front of me. Aren’t yo
Griffon would be visiting their company to sign the contract in person? While Neil was astonished, he couldn’t help feeling equally puzzled. Didn’t Griffon abandon Taya in Washington? Why would he still meet her? Could it be that Griffon couldn’t let Taya go, so the project was just an excuse to approach her? Neil slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on his right hand… Vaguely, he could tell that there was seemingly something amiss with the timing of the dislocation of his right hand, but he couldn’t figure out what went wrong. Taya’s eyes overflowed with doubts as she gawked at the blacked-out screen. Why did Griffon demand that she take on such a huge project? After a moment of contemplation, she dialed Neil’s number. “Mr. Sherwood, I think it’s better that we reject the project. I have so many projects to catch up on, there isn’t just enough time…” After having just sent Joe off, the perfect smile on Neil’s face fell upon hearing Taya’s words. “There isn’t any need for you to
Looking around the huge office, Taya’s heart started pounding, beat by beat. As if Rosalie’s blood circulated within her, it boiled and clamored, urging her to nod to Neil. “All right…” As soon as her voice died away, the screeching of a convoy of luxurious cars against the road came from the lower floor. More than a dozen luxury cars, led by a Koenigsegg, stopped at the val door. The bodyguards in black suits and ties hurried to exit their cars and formed two lines that flanked both sides of the Koenigsegg… In the Koenigsegg, Andre got out of the car and went up to open the door of the pa*senger seat. Under the sunlight, the shadow of the man’s statuesque figure was cast onto the ground, his facial features were well-defined and flawlessly stunning. Under those well-kept eyebrows, there were almond-shaped eyes unveiling his elegance and a face that could captivate the hearts of many. the tall nose was a pair of gold-rimmed gla*ses with large lenses covering his thick eyelashes. The m
Neil received the item from the owner of the goldsmith shop. He originally wanted to give it to Taya and at the same time, show off. Who knew that Alpha Knight would be here! He had such bad luck! The smile on Neil’s face disappeared. “How dare you!” Neil was disappointed when he saw Griffon. How were they going to have fun now that he was here? The designers, who followed behind Neil, froze when they saw Griffon too. The smiles and excitement immediately faded. They did not even dare to enter the door. They stood at the door, pushing and shoving each other. “Hey Neil, after you…” When Neil saw Griffon, he was extremely humble. He waved his hands desperately, “No, no, the young ones should enter first…” Taya glanced at the designers who were afraid to come in, then at Griffon who exuded a terrifying aura. She saioicd in a low ve, “Why don’t you go out first? I’ll take care of things here first before going to the hospital.” Griffon let go of his balled fists, which were clenched due t
Are you alright?”After Harper finished talking with Preston, she immediately went to the office. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes. When she came out, she overheard Mr. Jenkin’s conversation. He said that Griffon caught Johnny flirting with Taya and that they were fighting downstairs. There were also guns involved. Harper was so frightened that she did not even have time to put on her high heels. She quickly wore her slippers and she rushed down in a hurry with her hair still wet. When Taya heard Harper’s voice, she hurriedly pushed away Griffon, who was about to kiss her, and turned to face Harper who was rushing towards her in a panic. “I’m fine. Be careful, don’t run.” Harper rushed to Taya and quickly examined her just to make sure she was alright. Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, Harper immediately relaxed. “I was scared to death. I thought something happened to you. My heart was literally about to leap out of my chest!” Taya raised her hand and comforted her. “Do
Griffon hugged Taya tightly as he stared deeply at Johnny with cold, deadly eyes. Griffon grabbed Johnny’s wrist hard, almost squeezing it. If he exerted any more strength, Johnny’s wrist would definitely dislocate. Johnny couldn’t struggle and he became irritated. He glared at Griffon and shouted. You are courting death!” After he finished speaking, he raised his other hand and motioned for his bodyguards to come forward. When Taya, who was nestled in Griffon’ arms, saw the group of bodyguards running towards them, her heart started pounding in his chest. “Griffon, you have to go now.” Listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that they knew each other and they had grudges. Griffon did not have any bodyguards with him at this time, so he might not be able to take down Johnny and his team of bodyguards sorry, Griffon suddenly lowered his head and gave her a rea*suring look. “Don’t worry.” As soon as he said those words, he lifted his leg and kicked fiercely at the
Harper’s heart trembled as she saw the bodyguards’ hands reaching for the back of their waist once again, but she forced herself to stay calm and began to make up nonsense. “She’s in Aronland with Mr. Yardley. If you want to look for her, go to Aronland…” That’s right, he should go ahead and deal with Amon. Harper wanted to see who would come out on top. Upon hearing this, Johnny’s repressed anger burst out of his dark eyes. “I found out that she had returned from Aronland, and the first person she met up with was you, right here!” The first time he came here, he was actually looking for Harper to ask about Rosalie’s whereabouts. However, he was so furious at the waiter that he couldn’t speak. After adjusting his mood, he revisited the place. However, he never expected that Harper would dare to play dumb. This was simply unbearable! He stood up out of the blue, and his tall and burly figure towered Harper, whose height reached his chest despite being in heels. Stare at Harper. “Ms. Du
Harper smiled coquettishly. “It has nothing to do with you.” Nothing to do with him? Preston had always been a gentleman towards women but at that instant, his face darkened as he spoke. “Harper Duke, are you sure you want to provoke me?” Harper felt that he was reversing right and wrong, and her face also darkened. “Please get it straight. You’re the one who came to provoke me with another woman.” “That’s because you rejected me without thinking the other day! The indignation in Harper’s eyes turned into confusion in no time. Preston had had many women before, but he had never been serious with any of them. He would never lower his status to try to reconcile after breaking up with them. But that night, he hugged her like a pup and nuzzled her neck. “I miss you a little. Please don’t leave me, okay?” She thought he was just talking nonsense due to the alcohol in him, but she never expected him to be serious. Harper was surprised for a moment, but then regained her composure… Regardles
Taya walked up to the second-floor bedroom without turning on the lights. By the dim light, she could see the Koenigsegg downstairs and the man inside. Through the half wound window, Taya noticed that he was typing on his phone. A few seconds later, Taya’s phone vibrated. She took out her phone from her pocket and opened WhatsApp. She saw a photo he sent, a picture of the two of them taken at the seaside. He typed her a message with only a few words: “Don’t delete the picture. Keep it as a memory.” A memory…Why would it be a memory? Taya wanted to reply to him, but she noticed that Griffon had his profile picture to a picture of her. Another message came in. “Taya, I love you. Goodnight.” After thinking for a few seconds, Taya replied, “Goodnight…” The next morning, Taya received a bouquet of roses from him, which was delivered by Andre. He didn’t come himself. Andre explained, “Ms. Palmer, Alpha Knight has several international meetings to attend today, so he asked me to deliver BIKI
Rebecca had shown up just to meet Taya. Having met her, she thus spun around and left. Looking at her graceful and composed back, Taya, who was so nervous that her heart leapt to her throat, gradually relaxed… She thought that the members of the Knight pack would despise her, look down on her, and even speak ill of her, just like Shelly. Unexpectedly, Griffon’ eldest sister was so gentle and elegant, without any arrogance whatsoever. Even if she did, it was only because of the way she had been raised in a rich pack, as well as the way she viewed the world, which was saturated by the knowledge she had obtained. Griffon lowered his head and asked, “When will you come back to the Knight pack’s house with me for the family dinner?” Taya raised her clear eyes to stare at his flawless face and thought to herself, “In the future.” At that moment, she had yet to reach a position where she could be a proper match for him and attend the Knight pack’s banquet.He didn’t get a response from her,
He brought Taya to the jewelry area. All he did was ask if there was anything she liked. Taya said no so he asked the shop a*sistant to send the latest collection of diamond jewelry to the villa without asking any further questions. The shop a*sistant glanced at Taya with envy, then replied respectfully, “Yes, Alpha Knight…” Taya, who was led out of the jewelry area by Griffon, stared at his back in a daze. He was sending her cars, flowers, and accessories. Was he going to send her clothes next? As Taya expected, Griffon took her to a clothing department selling haute couture garments. This time, he didn’t even ask for Taya’s opinion and directly asked the shop a*sistant to pack up a bunch of clothes. Seeing the shop a*sistants frantically helping her pack clothes, shoes, and bags, Taya rubbed her forehead in helplessness. She lowered her head and looked at Griffon, who was kneeling on one knee and helping her try on a pair of crystal high heels. “Who taught you all these tricks?” Con
Right then, the National Space Administration was funding her project with about 10 million dollars. It was enough to repay Neil for the favor he had done her. If not for his “eloquent” and “careful” teaching over the past couple of months, she wouldn’t have improved so fast. After finishing all of that, Taya turned on the computer. She clicked on various construction-related software, and self-study videos. She was a design student, so she had learned how to use all those software in school. She only had to review the process a few times, and she should be able to remember it. She was rushing to complete a project at that moment, and all she had was a sketch. After completing her sister’s projects, she had to continue taking on other projects as well. Since that was the case, she had to go through the entire process from sketches to post-production renderings. That way, she could grasp every link faster and more clearly. She continued studying until ten o’clock. In an attempt to take
