The location I pointed out on my cell phone was a small restaurant near the orphanage. In fact, I had no idea if it still operated.In college when I took time to help in the orphanage, I went to eat there a few times and the food was top notched.About a few meters away from the restaurant, we found that the road was blocked with no way of driving through. We had no other way than to park and walk there.To my surprise, the restaurant was still open and the operator was the same one as we walked in.Immediately the operator saw me, he greeted with a smile. "Oh, isn't it Reed? I haven't seen you in years. Where have you been?""Boss, how come you still remember me?" I was a little surprised."Of course I do. You haven't changed much in recent years. I surely can recognize you." The owner of the restaurant said happily and looked at Dave, "Is this your boyfriend? He looks so noble."I hooked up the corner of my lips, "No, he's just my...""I'm her boyfriend."Knowing what I was going t
Judith's funeral.On that day, I wore all black and arrived at the burial place. As soon as Thomas saw me he got furious. He pushed me and said, "How dare you come here? Get lost!"As he roared, everyone turned to look at me and none of them had a gentle look on their face.Helen scolded, "You made the Defiant Family this way. How dare you come here? Get out of here!"I didn't know why they were furious but I was clear about my purpose here.I glanced at them coldly, "I'm here to see Grandmother one last time not you lot.""Even if my mother is alive, she won't want to see you!" Comfort finally spoke, "Reed Defiant, you've ruined Defiant Group. What more do you want?""What does Defiant Group have to do with me?" I frowned slightly."What does it have to do with you?" Thomas rushed over intending to hit me.I dodged.Thomas glared at me and said, "You seduced Dave and asked him to break off his marriage engagement with Lita! You are such a scheming woman!"I turned to look at Lita w
This laptop was used for my work. Because I had to draw and design drafts, the laptop was of high configuration and was overwhelmingly heavy.It wasn't until three or four seconds later that I felt the excruciating pain, feeling like my bones had been smashed by a metal case.There seemed to be sticky liquid slipping down my nose.Seeing me like this, Lita frowned, got up, and picked up a few pieces of tissue from the table. She then walked to me and gently wiped my nose.By the time she retracted the tissue again, the tissue was soaked red.At this time, my head and face was in great pain.Looking at me, Lita giggled and said, "Reed, do you know why you are here?"Because of the hit, I couldn't say a word.Lita took the laptop, "If I hadn't seen the files stored on it, I probably wouldn't have had to treat you this badly. Don't worry, I will let you experience what I went through."I squinted at her because I didn't understand what she was talking about.Lita looked at me with an ev
Lita clicked open the audio file.I heard an unfamiliar voice."Mr. Mitaka, the matter has been settled. The car would definitely drift off after taking off. Even if he doesn't die, he surely will become disabled."What I heard made me break out in cold sweat.No!No!I cried out in my heart...But then, I heard a voice I never intended to hear."Are you sure no one saw what you did?" I couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was Dave's.The unfamilair voice replied, "Yes, I handled it myself. There is nothing to worry about."It turns out Haick's car accident had something to do with Dave!It was Dave!"No, no, Dave had no reason to harm Haick. Haick and I had broken up and we were no longer in touch. The reason Haick came to the city was to help me out with the plagiarism issue. He helped me and Dave had no idea he would be in the CIty..."I babbled as I wasn't convinced by what I was facing.For a moment, I looked up at Lita and said, "This audio file is fake! It surely can't
"No, no, no, no!" I can't be defiled by these men. I explained to Lita, "It wasn't me who found the ruffians to hurt you. That matter has nothing to do with me. We both have been calculated by others!"Lita didn't take my words seriously. She raised her hand and touched the muscle of the man next to her, "Sister, do you see how kind I am? You found ruffians for me but I spent a lot of money hiring these ones with the strongest lower member. They surely will satisfy you.""No!"Lita then point to my legs, "Hold her legs!""No!"I shook my head desperately and kicked my legs.Two other men came over to grab my legs and the others loosened the chains on my hands as they held me firmly on the bed.Lita then slowly open the glass bottle in her hand. She raised the glass bottle bit by bit to the top of my eyes, looked at me and said, "Don't be afraid. There isn't much but such a small amount inside. If I drip it on your face, no one will think about taking a second look at you again."A p
Haick stood at the same distance and looked at me with a sad expression on.I suddenly felt powerless as I could only watch helplessly as Haick drowned in the red rain.In the end, he bent his knees and fell to the ground.I knelt down and tried to grab Haick but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch him. I could only scream out, "Haick! Haick! Haick!"At this time, I suddenly felt a bright light burning my eyes then it was snowy white in front of me.I was stunned for a second before I realized I was in a hospital.Why am I here?My head was in a mess.What had happened earlier was like fragments of a puzzle.I layed still on the bed as I thought hard."How is she?""She hasn't woken up yet."As I was deep in thought about what had happened, the voice of a man and woman suddenly came from outside, then, the door of the room I was in was pushed open. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended I hadn't woken up.Among the two, the man walked to my bedside, paused for a moment, and
As I was about to chase after her, the doctor and Assistant Ivan came in.Seeing me out of bed, the doctor immediately held me back down, "Lie down quickly!"I asked directly, "What happened to me last night? Before I was sent here, was I raped?"My question was also for Assistant Ivan. Although I was certain in my heart that I haven't been violated, I wasn't quite sure after all, those men had been hired by Lita. How come they wouldn't violate me?Is it possible?I needed a theory to support and ascertain my judgment.For no reason, they looked guilty as no one spoke. In the end, Assistant Ivan spoke first, "When my boss' men found you, you were the only one at the location. You were disheveled as for the rest, I don't know it either... We only did a basic check up on you but we haven't checked whether you..."Before he could finish his words, I knew what he was going to say. I said, "I was threatened that I would be raped and those men suffered from AIDS!"Hearing my words, the two
I looked at the business card which was neat with only two words 'Ivan Slecko' written on it. There was an email and phone number below his name.I walked back to the ward with the business card in hand, feeling even more chaotic in my heart.Is it an accident or a deliberate murder?How could there be such a coincidence?I don't want to kill this child but what if I indeed get sick and pass the disease to my child?No matter how society changes, everyone's prejudice against this disease will be the same. My child surely will be looked down upon by others.He/she surely can't be confident for the rest of his/her life and he/she will live in depression all his/her life.What should I do...?After entering the ward, I squatted on the ground, desperate.I indeed couldn't make a choice.I had lost my first child. How can I bear to kill my second child?But what if, what if I was indeed raped and I'm infected with AIDS?I remembered what Griffin had said. He said it was okay for me to tak
Looking at me coldly, Dave seemed to be thinking about something and failed to say anything for a long time.About seven or eight seconds later, I was about to leave. Then Dave suddenly said, "Yes, you are right."I thought there was something wrong with my ears.His voice was a little hoarse and sentimental.Before I could say anything, Dave continued, "I really shouldn't force you to bear any child for me again. With our current relationship, it's really not appropriate for us to have a child.""I..."His attitude changed so fast that I didn't know what to say for a while.But he said first, "Sorry."After that, he turned around to leave.I stood in the night and watched him walking into the darkness bit by bit. For no reason, I felt reluctant to see him leave."Wait a minute!"I wasn't reconciled once again!I took a few steps, went up to the front of his car, and grabbed Dave's hand. When he stopped, I hugged him from behind, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to leave or stay?
I hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door slightly.Seeing me open the door, Jason surveyed me up quickly and looked inside the room, looking a little nervous, "Are... Are you okay?""Yes." I reluctantly curled up the corner of my lips, "Well, I'm going to close the door. We have something to do. You can leave first. Cook and have a meal with Bryan first."I made my position quite clear.Jason looked quite reluctant. He stood there for a long time. It seemed that he was not willing to leave.But I closed the door.After I turned around, I saw dense sarcasm in Dave's eyes. And he said, "What's wrong with you? Are you sad because you hurt your kept man?""Shut up!" I looked up at Dave and asked reluctantly, "What on earth happened? How did you become like this?""Huh? Do you want to know?" Dave stretched out his hand and directly pulled me into his arms.He turned over and pressed me under his body. He looked down at me and said, "I risked my life for you. And you kept a love
Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's
The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel
I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
