It turned out that although Dave didn't believe what Reed had said, he was actually looking into Lita's past.Knowing this made Reed's mood a little better. She replied some what uninterested, "What does it have to do with me? After all, the Mitaka Family is a rich and powerful family. Is there any problem for them to investigate the soon to be wife of their heir?"The corridor was very dark and Reed couldn't see Lita's expression. Lita was silent for several seconds and Reed thought she had given up so she added, "If there's nothing else, I'll be heading inside now."However, just as she was about to walk away, Lita grabbed her arm and laughed strangely, "Reed Defiant, do you think you can take up my position in this way? I just want to tell you that you are simply daydreaming!"Then, she suddenly let go of Reed's arm and took two steps back as she shouted, "No, no! Help!"Then there was a loud noise in the dark corridor. The sound of someone rolling down the stairs resonated in t
At around dawn, Reed was awoken by the sound of an ambulance. She stood up from the ground and stretched whiles yawning. She looked around the parking lot for Dave's car. Knowing he was still in the hospital, she went to guard the main entrance.Not long after, Reed saw Dave's car coming out from the parking lot. She couldn't care less about anything else as she rushed straight up!The car was not driving fast and it stopped just when Dave saw Reed.Dave got out of the car and Reed walked up to him to explain the incident to him. All she wanted was for Dave to not go after Kim but as soon as she took a couple of steps, she felt dizzy for no reason. A second later, everything went dark and she passed out!By the time Reed woke up again, she was in a single ward. There was a woman in her fifties in the room. She knew at a glance that she was the servant of her grandma, Judith Defiant.Reed spoke weakly, "Stacy..."Stacy looked back and saw that she was awake.Stacy hurriedly said, "L
Judith then asked, "Reed, I heard from June that you spent the night with Dave on the wedding night, right?"I nodded my head in a daze, wondering why Judith would ask these questions.After that, Judith said, "According to June, after that day, although the matter had been cleared up, Lita hasn't moved to live with Dave."After hearing this, Helen immediately stood up and explained, "That's because Mr. Mitaka said that he owed Lita and he would like to find a good land to build the best house as Lita wishes so that they can live there."I felt a stinging pain in my heart for some reason.Dave indeed cared about Lita very much. How could his feelings for Lita be easily provoked by a few words of mine?However, Judith's next words shocked everyone, "Well, since Reed had spent the night with Dave. In that case, Reed should stay married to Dave."When I heard this, it took me five seconds to figure out what it meant.Helen and Thomas were the same. When I came to my senses, Helen stood
Seeing that I didn't speak, Dave increased the strength in his hand as if he was about to crush my chin. It hurts, but I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from making a sound.Seeing that I didn't say anything, Dave said, "Reed Defiant, tell me, how did you fool the Head of the Defiant Family and managed to get her to speak up for you?"The strength in his hand grew stronger. He let go of my chin, grabbed my waist with his big palm, and was about to tear my clothes off directly!I was so angry that I struggled and finally shouted, "Don't..."He raised his hand and pressed a button then a black partition slowly rose between the front and rear seats of the car... As the division was completely raised, the rear seat had become a closed space.Regardless of my resistance, Dave didn't have any and he went straight into me.I was in so much pain that I finally couldn't help but scream out yet he still didn't stop.Because of the limited space in the back seat, he was half kneeling on
Reed's POV:I didn't go back to Dave's villa instead, I went back to Kim's house. Kim happened to be at home. Seeing how moody I was, she pestered for a reason. After countless questioning, I finally told her the truth.Knowing the whole event she asked, "Speaking of you grandmother, is she doing this for your own good or setting you up?""She's doing it for my own good." I had a positive answer for that. I believed that even if everyone was not doing it for my own good, she was.Kim nodded, placed her arm around my shoulders, and said, "Well, it's your day today. Let's go. I'll take you to have some good food."Although I couldn't bear to spend her money, I couldn't stop her........................We chose a hotpot restaurant. There were not many people in there. We soon found a place and ordered some hotpot alongside some beer. After rounds of drinking, I didn't seem to be in a bad mood anymore. We kept having fun till 12 a.m.Since it's been a while we both went out together
It was pay day today. Kim had already repeatedly told me early this morning that I should treat her to a meal after getting payed.In order to not let her wait, I got off work a bit earlier than usual which rarely happened.As soon as I walked out of the office building, a man in a suit came over and said politely, "Hello, Miss Defiant. I am Mr. Mitaka's driver. He asked me to pick you up."It was closing time and people around me looked at me with strange eyes.For a moment, I was in a trance, "Mr. Mitaka? Dave Mitaka? Why would he send someone to pick me up?"The driver explained, "The Chairman wants to see you, that is, Mr. Dave's grandfather."Thinking of the phone call from a month ago, I felt repulsion in my heart and also feared that Dave would insult me in front of his grandfather. However, I had no choice but to go.Helplessly, I followed the driver into the car.The driver took me to the DIOR Department Store first and gave me a Black Amex bank card, asking me to go in and b
The manager asked the lady what was going on.The lady said there was so many customers in the shop just now, when she turned back, she found that the bracelet was gone. She was so scared that she cried as she searched the shop and couldn't find it.Although the lady didn't say that it was me who took it, the fact that the bracelet was found in my bag had explained everything. I still explained to her, "I didn't take this. I don't know how it ended up in my bag."The manager glanced at me and said disdainfully, "Explain it to the police!"It was not until now that I really panicked!'I'm going to see Dave's grandfather with him today. If I get involved with the police because of this matter and get delayed, it is unknown how Dave's grandfather will think of me!' I thought, really scared.The manager asked the security guard to take me to the office on the first floor of the mall and then waited for the police to arrive.I struggled and didn't want to go with them.Lita stood aside an
The next morning, I took the morning off and went to the police station where I was charged with stealing.The answer they gave me was that it was a misunderstanding and that the case was closed so the monitor was not checked.I refused to deal with it this way. My reputation was at stake.With my repeated request as well as the involvement of Dave yesterday, the police dared not neglect me. An officer then headed to the mall with me.We found the manager and requested for the surveillance video from yesterday. The manager immediately agreed only for us to find out that the monitor was broken!The manager then said in an exaggerating tone, "Oh, why is the monitor broken? Get someone to repair it immediately."At that moment, I understood that Lita might have known I would come back to check the surveillance video.Of course, the monitor couldn't be repaired. The so called repairer failed to get it back on after a long 'fix'.I didn't want to give up. After the police left, I went to
My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,
Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw
Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m
Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou
Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a
A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he
After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something
Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave
I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
