2024-11-08 17:33:01The next morning, Alaric woke up, remembering last night’s events. He pinched himself—no, it wasn’t a dream. Vespera had actually said yes.
He jumped out of bed, showered, changed, and even straightened his tie before driving to her studio. There she was, focused on work, wearing a stylish dress and light makeup, looking absolutely radiant.
When he walked in, Vespera looked up, surprised. “Finally awake?” she asked with a smirk.
Alaric simply nodded, taking her hand without a word and leading her downstairs. She stumbled after him, asking, “Where are we going?”
Alaric gently nudged her into his car, driving her toward a villa. Vespera was clueless and a bit shocked, glancing around, unsure of what was happening.
They finally arrived at a beautiful villa. Alaric opened the door, and she asked, “Did you just buy this?”

The next morning, Vespera was woken up at dawn, barely getting a few hours of sleep. Known as a dedicated designer, she was usually the first one awake, but today she could barely keep her eyes open. As the stylist worked on her hair and makeup, Vespera sat half-dazed, drifting in and out, completely unaware of the hands tugging her in all directions.Two hours later, with her hair and makeup done, Vespera finally slipped into her wedding dress. The reality hit her, and for the first time, she fully realized she was about to get married.Memories flooded back, particularly that first encounter with Alaric.

The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Reborn
In a desolate small town in Cambodia. In a dimly lit dungeon, Olivia Pendleton was bound to a chair with chains, her body covered with countless whip and knife wounds. Isabella Whitmore had used every torture she could think of on her, watching her suffer, yet not allowing her to die. Now, Isabella looked down and sneered, “The famous Olivia Pendleton, ace assassin, has come to this, hasn’tshe?” She picked up a dagger from the table and severed the tendons in Olivia’s right hand. "Ouch!” Olivia screamed, gasping for breath, stammering, “Why? Why... are you doing this?” “Because you’re nothing but a lowly servant, a mere tool of the Abyss Group. Dominic Ashcroft is mine! This is what you get for seducing my man!” Isabella viciously stabbed the dagger into Olivia’s thigh, twisting it. Olivia’s leg instantly became a bloody mess. “I’ll tell you, Dominic and I will be engaged soon, and your influence in the Abyss will be uprooted by me. You, a nameless orphan picked up from nowhere,
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Can I Attend the Birthday Feast
Aurora returned to her room, gathered all the random pills, and put them in a bag, planning to have them tested at the hospital later. Right now, losing weight was the top priority! Aurora was 5 feet 8 inches tall, similar to her height as Olivia Pendleton, but while Olivia weighed only around 90 pounds, this body weighed 150 pounds. With this weight, let alone training, even daily travel was inconvenient. Aurora took out her notebook and quickly devised a weight loss plan for herself, including daily diet and exercise. This was the winter vacation of her senior year, and she had two months off. She had to lose weight as quickly as possible so she could enter high society and gradually get closer to Isabella Whitmore. At dinner, Aurora ate only an apple and then went out for a run. After running a kilometer, she was already panting. She couldn’t believe it; she used to be able to run ten kilometers with weights! When she returned home that night, Sebastian Pendleton was waiting in
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The Fairbanks Have Arrived
Unbeknownst to them, half a month had passed, and the old man's birthday was fast approaching. Aurora had managed to reduce her weight to 120 pounds. Although still slightly chubby, she looked quite slender and shapely, especially with the added muscle from her recent exercise.Aurora walked to the ancestral home behind the villa, where generations of Pendletons had lived. The old man resided in the ancestral home, while the newer villa in front was occupied only by Sebastian's family.The old man was astonished by Aurora's transformation. She had been so plump before that it was almost unseemly, but in just over twenty days, she had slimmed down so much.Not only had her figure improved, but her eyes were no longer weak as before. The lively and spirited young girl before him was really his granddaughter?Aurora approached with a beaming smile, asking, "What do you think, Grandpa? Can I attend your birthday feast?"The old man had almost forgotten the joy he felt when Aurora was born.

"Yes, I'm the least favored third daughter, so I ended up locked in my room. What about you? Why are you out here alone?" Aurora said, rummaging through the bushes."The banquet was a snooze-fest, so I came out for some fresh air," Heath replied."I find it boring too, but if I don't go, Grandpa will never let me attend any other events," Aurora said, her voice tinged with helplessness."Why won't he let you attend?" Heath asked, feeling a bit nosy. He usually wasn't this chatty, but today, he found this girl far more interesting than anyone else at the banquet."You saw it, right? My figure isn't great, I'm too chubby, and not well-liked. I'd bring shame to the Pendleton family," Aurora explained."Chubby? I think you're just right," Heath said, recalling the soft feeling of the girl in his arms, like a small animal."I'll tell you, they all look down on me, but once I lose weight, you'll see that I'm actually quite good-looking!" Aurora declared confidently."Oh? So confident?" Heath

Aurora was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding the sudden toast.Evelyn's eyes widened as she watched, entranced by the elegant man's charming gesture. Unfortunately, the one sitting beside him was that silly girl, Aurora!Grandpa laughed and said, "Silly girl! What are you staring at? Heath is greeting you!"Aurora hurriedly picked up the glass of juice from the table, saying, "I'm not feeling well, Mr. Fairbank. You don't mind if I drink juice instead, do you?"She wasn't feeling unwell; she was just on a diet, refusing to drink alcohol. Ideally, she wouldn't even drink juice, just plain water.Evelyn watched her with a cold sneer. Doesn’t she know who Heath Fairbank is? Aurora was trying to fob him off with juice!Even Grandpa seemed a bit nervous. Heath Fairbank, the heir of the Fairbank family, was known for his unpredictable temperament. If he were to become angry over a glass of juice, it would be a difficult situation to handle.Under everyone's watchful eyes, Heath ra
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife A Deal
After the dinner, while the two were eating, Heath's phone rang. He apologized and picked it up. Aurora faintly heard something about the Whitmore family from the phone.She immediately listened carefully. Heath seemed not to care if she heard anything and said to the other end of the phone, "Have our people pull back; I'm going back now."Heath hung up, and Aurora tentatively asked, "Are you collaborating with the Whitmore family?"Heath glanced at her and nodded. Aurora asked again, "The Whitmore family from the United States?"Heath laughed, "Little girl, you know about the American Whitmore family?""I'm an adult now, about to go to college, not little anymore," Aurora retorted."Then wait until you're in college to worry about these things. I have something to do, so I have to go back to the company. I'll treat you to hot pot another day," Heath said, standing up to leave.Aurora panicked. This was her first chance to get close to information about the Whitmore family since her re

The next morning, Alaric was finally over his fever. When Vespera woke up, he was already waiting in the living room. After breakfast, they both headed to their respective offices.Aurora’s team reported they’d successfully returned to the Whitmore family’s estate. For her, that had been a fierce battle. For Vespera, however, the real challenge lay ahead: the design competition.Ever since her last conversation with Yvonne, where Yvonne had hinted that everything she had was due to Aurora and Alaric’s support, Vespera had been determined to prove herself. She wanted to be worthy of Alaric and was pouring all her energy into this competition.After submitting her designs, Vespera anxiously waited at home for results. When the winners were finally announced online, she saw her name in second place. The relief and pride were overwhelming. She had finally achieved something worth sharing with Alaric.

Vespera had reclaimed her brand, and Alaric seemed to be maturing by the day, treating her like she was his entire world. Everything seemed to be falling into place.After that showdown in Alaric’s office with Elowen, she hadn’t shown her face again. Vespera figured it was over, that Elowen had finally given up. Everyone else thought the same.But on the day they took graduation photos, Aurora disappeared. Heath and Alaric eventually tracked her down — Elowen had taken her. Vespera was frantic, blaming herself for not protecting Aurora better.Heath and Alaric couldn’t stop Aurora’s flight at the airport, so they booked tickets to the UK to get her back. Vespera had too much to handle here to join them, so she only saw Alaric off at the airport.He held her close, whispering, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon, and Aurora will be safe.”Vespera hugged him back tightly. She trusted him. Alaric and Heath would get this done — Elowen had crossed a line that couldn’t be ignored, and she knew

This past week, Aurora had been tirelessly setting up to counter Evelyn and her allies, Yvonne and Elowen. Meanwhile, Alaric, working alongside Aurora to reclaim Elowen’s brand.A week later, the press conference went ahead as planned. Alaric helped Vespera pick an outfit, stayed until she’d finished her makeup, and then drove her to the venue himself.The conference, led by Evelyn, was a disaster for her team. They failed to take over Aurora’s company, couldn’t drive her out of the Pendleton family, and made no progress in placing Yvonne and Elowen as CEO and head designer. Their plans had backfired entirely.Leaving the venue, Yvonne, clearly shaken, stepped in front of a car without looking and was hit, blood pooling around her. Vespera, stunned and dizzy at the sight, would have collapsed if Alaric hadn’t steadied her.Frantically, Vespera fumbled with her phone to call home, stammering, “It’s Yvonne… she’s bleeding so much…”As someone unaccustomed to such violence, Vespera was t

Alaric looked at Vespera with an innocent expression and said, “It’s not what you think. I’m not a creep.”“Not a creep?” Vespera glared at him. “Then what were you doing in my room?”Alaric almost groaned. “If I told you I was here to give you a massage, would you believe me?”“Total creep!” she shouted. “Sneaking into my bed while I was asleep!”Alaric shot back, “I did not! When I woke up, you were the one curled up on me!”Vespera paused, recalling the moment she woke up. Okay, maybe she had been cozying up to him. Wait a second—was he implying she was the one acting out of line?Seeing her hesitation, Alaric grinned smugly. “See? You were just as comfortable with it!”“Get out!” Vespera yelled.Alaric left the room, trying not to smile too much. Sure, nothing happened, but just getting to hold her felt amazing. Although… his shoulder was sore from her leaning on him all night, so he headed back to his room to grab a few more hours of sleep.Vespera, alone in her room, listened as
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Close Your Eyes
Vespera walked ahead, casual and carefree in a T-shirt and shorts, no makeup, and even bare of high heels, while Alaric trailed close behind with a jacket in hand, grinning like a fool. Everyone in the lobby couldn’t help but notice—their usually composed CEO was tagging along, practically beaming.Catching up to her, Alaric draped his jacket over her shoulders. “How could you leave without dressing warmer? You’ll end up with a stomach ache tonight,” he said, his voice soft with affection.Vespera felt a warm flutter in her chest but stayed quiet, letting his jacket settle around her as they walked out. Alaric was thrilled she hadn’t brushed him off; emboldened, he slipped his hand into hers, wrapping her cold fingers in his.For a moment, she stiffened, then relaxed, letting her hand nestle securely in his. Together, they headed to the parking lot, Alaric practically floating with joy. This felt better than winning the lottery!Bringing her home, Alaric felt out of his depth—things h

Alaric stood in his office, with Elowen right in front of him, her hand tugging at his tie, a faint smirk hidden beneath her slightly indignant expression.Seeing the scene, Vespera nearly turned around and left right then and there. But she reminded herself of her purpose for coming today. She was done hiding from Elowen. Even if Alaric wasn’t hers in the end, she’d be damned if he ended up with someone like Elowen.So Vespera strode into the office, fixed her gaze on them, and asked, “What’s going on here?”At the sound of her voice, Alaric spun around, fumbling to free his tie from Elowen’s grip. But Elowen held tight, glancing over at Vespera with a slight smile. “Miss Thornfield? You’re here?”Vespera closed the door behind her, gave a slight nod, and asked again, “What exactly is this about?”Elowen smirked. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask Alaric if I could borrow a few people to help promote my new fashion line. Not sure if he’s on board with it, though.”“Not a chance,
