It was already night, and it was snowing.

The drifting snowflakes were scattering under the orange glare of the headlight. I looked nervously at Oogway, feeling extremely uneasy because I have never seen Oogway acting like this. No matter when, he always wore a faint smile on his face.

His simile only disappeared when he was serious. But even in that case, he would soon put on a smile.

I had thought Oogway used his smile and gentleness as a mask for hiding his real side but at this moment, I didn't want Oogway to be expressionless like this, even if I knew his smile was just a mask.

I was terrified by his expressionless face.

I was even afraid that the place he is taking me to would be terrifying.

Someone might.....

Someone might die there.

However, Oogway seemed to have lost his ability to smile.

After about two hours, he drove the car all the way from the brightly lit urban area to the suburbs without any street lights.

There were only lights from the headlights.

Suddenly, I looked

This story is becoming very ridiculous. It’s going in circles with no end in sight. Lita and Reed were fighting over Dave. Now Oogway and Dave are fighting over Reed.

    Russian roulette was a game in which a single round was placed in a revolver. The players, in turn, spun the cylinder, place the muzzle against their heads, and pull the trigger. This game didn't end till the bullet hit one of the players.This was a very cruel and terrifying game.If there was a rank of cruelty for gambling games in the world, Russian roulette must be the cruelest.No!No!But at that moment, two bodyguards came over directly. They held my hands, and forced me to stand aside."Let me go!"I was a woman, how could I break free from these bodyguards?I tried my best to struggle! "Let go of me! Don't do that! I beg you!" I shouted.Oogway looked at Dave. "Dave, let's play. If you don't want to, it's not too late to leave now.""Leave, please!" I got heated!However, Dave wasn't afraid. He looked at me and said, "I'll lose if I leave, won't I? I would rather take a gamble.""Alright." Oogway nodded. "It's Russian roulette, you know the rules.""Of course."The two men s

    I looked at them and said, "Why do you want me to decide your lives? Are you stupid?"I really couldn't understand why they wanted to do this."Because neither of them is willing to quit. Anyway, either of them has the ability to take over the other's company and either of them will be very good to you." Bleak said.Dave and Oogway did not refute his words."So, you want one to live and the other to die?" I looked at Dave and Oogway in confusion."If they continue to fight each other, neither of them will win based on the companies they have. It's better to solve the problem personally." Bleak just couldn't shut his mouth.However, he seemed to fully understand the decision Dave and Oogway had made.When they heard his words, they did not explain.Bleak seemed to be right.I looked at them and smiled bitterly. "So, no one can change it, right?"Both of them nodded but no one spoke. At the same time, there was no fear on their faces. It seemed that they were both ready to die."Come on

    Dave patted me on the head. "Are you hungry? Let's eat."He led me out of the room and we went downstairs. I looked around as I walked. It should be a very ordinary villa with mountains and trees outside. More of a holiday villa.However, the scenery was covered by the snow."This is..."I wanted to ask Dave why I was here?If I remembered correctly, today should be my engagement banquet. Since I was here, what about the engagement?"I'll stay here with you for the time being."Dave took me to the table and we sat down. Then he took out a bowl, filled it with the porridge from a thermos nearby, and put it in front of me.The aroma of the porridge crept into my nose. I picked up the spoon and started drinking.After a few sips, I fixed my eyes on the thermos.Dave was not very good at cooking. This porridge was definitely not made by himself, but sent by someone else.At present, everything here made me feel a little weird. But my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know where to start.

    I crept over, wanting to grab the phone. As I approached, the phone's screen suddenly lit up.A message popped up.'Where are you? What happened? Please contact me.'The sender was Teresa.Seeing this, my heart missed a beat.Sure enough, Dave lied to me. He did not divorce Teresa. Otherwise, why did she send him a message like this?Thinking of this, I felt disappointed.If I couldn't trust Dave, then who else could I trust?Seeing this text message, I completely gave up the idea of continuing to check his mobile phone.Perhaps I was afraid that I would find something I shouldn't.I paused for a few minutes beside his mobile phone, but Teresa hadn't sent anymore messages. I went back to bed and lay down again.Just as I lay down, the man behind me suddenly stretched out his arm and held me in his arms.He muttered, "Baby, I love you."His voice was a little bit vague.He was talking in his sleep however, it warmed my heart.The next morning.As soon as I woke up and opened my eyes,

    Dave was being really considerate when we had sex. Most of the time, he let me enjoy myself a few times before doing his work.Compared to a few years ago, he seemed to take more care of my feelings.I continue to read the book in my arms. I didn't raise my head until the doorbell rang.Dave stood up and went to open the door.Who was that?I stood up right away.When the door opened, I saw Desmond Gaddy standing outside.There were several lunch boxes and some vegetables in his hand.Dave let him in. As soon as Desmond came in, he began to complain, "I am really tired because of you, Dave. If others let me do this, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"After finishing his speech, he saw me.With a fake smile on his face, he said three words, "Hello, Mrs. Mitaka."Desmond's expression made me feel confused since he was acting weirdly.I saw that there were a lot of fresh vegetables, eggs, and meat in his hand.I took the initiative to say, "I'll make lunch for you.""Okay." Dave no

    "Alina!" Dave's voice rang out.I looked up and wanted to look at him.Perhaps because the sunlight on snow was too glaring, my eyes couldn't help but shed tears when I looked up at him. I couldn't see anything clearly."Da.." I opened my mouth slightly without finishing his name.Dave rushed over and hugged me.Seeing the wound on my foot, he said sadly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."He repeated three times.I opened my eyes, wanting to see him, but no matter how hard I tried, my eyes were in pain and tears fell down. I couldn't see anything clearly.It's so strange.I closed my eyes and said to him, "I, there is something wrong with my eyes. They hurt.""What?" Dave was stunned."My, my eyes hurt. Something entered my eyes." I continued.I was not sure. Maybe it was the strong wind on the mountain that blew something into my eyes, which made me feel uncomfortable.Dave immediately said, "Close your eyes first, let's get inside." I closed my eyes. As soon as we entered the hou

    "Now is the most dangerous time for Dave. This time, the stock price of Mitaka Group has fallen sharply. Oogway has already bought a lot of shares, and his shares are almost the same as my Dave's. But the remaining shareholders are Grandpa Mitaka's men, so they are not selling their shares, but they all asked Dave to give up his position of CEO. Dave said he needed three days."I didn't fully understand his speech however, I understood part of it."After three days, then what?" I looked at Dave."I have been negotiating with a technical team from Country Z. If they join my project, we will be able to mass produce our products this year at the fastest speed. However, they needed three days to give me an answer." Dave said.I roughly understood that this team should be the last bargaining chip for Dave to keep his position of CEO."So, why don't you go back?" I looked at Dave, feeling extremely sad."No." Dave shook his head. "The treatment for your foot can't be delayed and we have to

    Dave was sending an email. It was in French.When he saw me, he reached out and pulled my hand. "I'll go to sleep after sending this email."I looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two o'clock, midnight. Because I wanted Dave to rest, I simply sat next to him and said, "Then I'll wait for you."When I finished, I felt that, as the boss of Mitaka Group, Dave must have a lot of things to do. I was being too wilful.I thought for a moment and stood up again."Forget it, you can just do your work. I'll sleep first. Don't be too late."Just as I was about to leave, Dave suddenly got up and held my waist. He directly let me sit on his lap then he kissed me on the neck. "I hide no secrets from you. You can look at my works as you like." He said, kissing me on the neck with his thin lips, "And, a beauty like you will improve my efficiency."As he spoke, his two arms circled around me and landed on the keyboard to edit the email.I took a rough look. He was writing the email to th

    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
