Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe
"Please Reed, I beg you, I've never asked you for anything, and I also know how bad I have been treating you, but please, help me out here, just this once." Lita pleaded.Reed's back was turned to her, she was in deep thought, what Lita was asking of her is something she just can't do, she knows her mother and father will definitely kill her if they find out. Lita's wedding is tomorrow, their father owes a rich billionaire, and since they couldn't pay their debt, the man decided to take Lita as his wife. Lita was Reed's younger sister and she was the most beautiful, thereby, making her the most loved. Everyone in town admired Lita and no one ever seems to notice Reed. Even their parents favored Lita the most. Lita was in love with someone else, a guy who claims to be wealthier than the man Lita was suppose to marry. Lita has fallen head over heels in love with him due to the fact that he claims to be richer, and now, Lita was planning to elope with this guy. Now, she wants Reed to
Next day.... Reed woke up with a start as she heard someone banging on the door loudly. "Open this door right now Reed." Her mother yelled from behind the door. Her heart skipped a beat, she thought her parents would have realized that Lita was gone. She hurriedly got down from the bed and rushed to open the door. On opening the door, she was welcomed with Helen's hateful glares. "G.. good morning mother." She stuttered. Instead of replying to her greetings, Helen rewarded her with a slap. "Are you forgetting what day today is?" "Today is your younger sister's wedding? She should be getting ready already, and instead of you waking her up and helping, you are busy sleeping." Helen yelled. Oh no, mother has no idea about Lita fleeing. Reed thought. What should I do? She panicked. "Go prepare breakfast, then go get Lita and help her get ready." Helen said, then turned to leave. Oh no, I have to break the news to mother, we have to leave this morning. Reed ran after Helen. "Mot
Dave was staring at his bride from the corner of his eyes, he was glad that he'll be getting married to the most beautiful lady in town. "Do you, Lita Defiant, take Dave Mitaka to be your husband?" The priest asked in a loud voice. Reed didn't answer, her heart was beating so fast and she was sweating profusely. Her mother has strictly warned her not to take her veil off until she gets to Dave's home. She was already imagining what Dave will do when he finds out the truth, what will happen to her when he finds out he was married to her, the ugly one and not her beautiful sister. Dave frowned deeply, his bride was taking so much time to answer and it was getting on his nerves, he was a man with little patience. The priest cleared his throat loudly, then he repeated his question. "Do you, Lita Defiant, take Dave Mitaka to be your husband?" Dave nudged her arm, bringing her back to reality. "I I do." Reed stuttered. A small smile appeared on Dave's lips. "Do you, Dave Mitaka,
The veil fell from Dave's hand when he saw Reed's face. "W.. who are you?" He asked in shock as he moved back a bit. Reed bit the bottom of her lips nervously. She raised her head to look at Dave, and he looked like he'd just seen a ghost, or rather, he'd just seen the most ugliest looking person ever. "I asked you a question, who are you?" He barked, causing Reed to let out a fearful yelp. "Where is Lita? Why are you here instead of her?" "I... I'm her elder sister." Reed stuttered. "What?" Dave said in shock. Reed wasn't surprised that he didn't know her, after all, her parents never allowed her to meet him whenever he comes by. They believe if he sees her, it'll bring them bad luck, so whenever Dave comes to see Lita, Reed was asked to stay in her room and not come out. "S s sister?" "Lita has no sister, who the fuck are you?" "I told you, I'm her elder sister, Reed Defiant." "This is crazy, I can't believe this." "Where's Lita? Why are you here instead of her?" Dave
Dave grabbed Reed by the waist and pulled her closer to him. Reed let out a fearful yelp, as she struggled to free herself from his hold. "You're not even that beautiful." Dave said, ruining his fingertips down her face. "But that doesn't mean I won't have your body." "And don't even think of struggling, you should only do as you're told, otherwise, you'll regret it, I swear you'll regret it." He said manically. "P.. please." Reed begged, but he pushed her on the bed and got on top of her. She tried pushing Dave off but he slapped her again."Didn't I say you shouldn't dare to struggle." Dave said darkly. "Don't make me order for you to be flogged." He threatened. The thought of getting beaten scared Reed, she had no choice but to give in, all she could do was cry silently. Dave got off her, then he pulled her up. "Strip." He ordered. *W... what?" Reed panicked. "If I have to repeat myself, it'll be with a slap." He barked. Reed's hand went to her back, she was trying to op
The next day, Reed woke up from the pain, feeling like the lower part of her body had been ripped apart. She couldn't believe what had happened last night.On her wedding night, Dave had treated her as if she was his enemy and took her virginity. What Dave had done had ruined all her previous fantasies.The bed side beside her was already cold. A drop of scarlet blood on the snow white sheet looked particularly irritating.Reed got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath despite her pain. After freshening up, she looked around Dave's room for a new bed sheet and changed the sheets.She then proceeded to walk out of the room heading downstairs.Standing at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, Reed saw Dave, sitting behind the dining table with a file in his hands as well as having breakfast.The golden sunshine in the morning shone on his side through the half opened window, making him look warm and holy.Over the past years he had been visiting the Defiant family home, R
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young.

Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e
In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would
Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
Eunice lowered her head and kept silent, as if she was thinking.I didn't say anything more. I took the cup of fruit tea in front of me and took a sip.It was sour and sweet.When I put down the teacup, Eunice said, "Though I want to help you, it's just that his heart is no longer with me. He probably doesn't care about whether I live or die.""It's not like that." I looked at Eunice and said firmly, "Oogway has you in his heart, but he doesn't realize it, or... he is deceiving himself. What he needs is a process to know his heart."Eunice slightly nodded. "But that doesn't mean that he will give in to me.""I know." I smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry. In fact, I have already told him about your illness. I hope he can see his heart clearly. I have no choice."Eunice looked at me without saying a word.There was only silence.I said again, "I'm sorry." Eunice finally looked up at me and smiled. "If he let you go because of me and come back to me, then I am willing to be used by you."Euni
After hearing the name clearly, Oogway's eyes immediately showed some indifference. He folded his legs, put his hands on his knees, looked at me, and said in a very alienated voice, "So what?"I was not beaten back by his state. I continued, "Eunice got uterus cancer."When I said those words, Oogway frowned slightly.Then, I added another two words, "Stage 2."Oogway's expression obviously relaxed a little but he said only one word, "Oh."Seeing that he was relaxed, I hurriedly continued, "But when I saw her today, her assistant told me that she was not willing to be treated, because once treated she might not be able to conceive. She has always held the hope of getting pregnant.""That's her business."Unwilling to let it go, I continued, "Then have you ever thought about the fact that for an excellent woman like Miss Eunice, there must be a lot of men who wanted to be with her, even with her legs were disabled. But has been single all these years?""That's her business."Oogway sa
Brianna snorted at my oath.But it didn't mean that she didn't believe what I said.She looked at me with a serious look."What are you going to do then? Are you really going to marry him?""I don't know." I shook my head and said, "But no matter what, I can't watch Bryan die.""I..."I looked at Brianna. "You are also a mother. You know how it feels. I can not give up Bryan."Hearing this, Brianna sighed heavily."Oogway, Oogway, to be honest, we have been on guard against him all the time, but we didn't expect that he took a shot at you."I looked at Brianna and said seriously, "Auntie, I really love Dave. I hope to be with him for the rest of my life. I believe he loves Bryan and me as well. But I may not be able to be with him in this lifetime. If you two hate me, I won't blame you.""Alas!" Brianna sighed again. "I know my child best. He really loves you deeply. If you marry Oogway, he will take you back by all means necessary.""I will be done with him." I clasped my hands toget
Halfway through the dinner, I was tired. I went to the big sofa in the corner of the hall to rest. I stayed for a while and headed to the restroom.When I came out, a woman's scream came from the corridor!I was so frightened that I thought something happened, so I walked over quickly.I found that there was a baby hypertension room. When I was about to push the door and go in, a pleasant male voice came from inside."Don't you like this excitement?"It was Bleak.Anita.Actually I didn't have a habit of eavesdropping, but because the other side was them, I couldn't help but stand a little longer.I heard Anita say shyly, "But if you don't lock the door, in case others think there is no one inside, they will come in directly...""Then you should shout louder, and let them know that there are people inside." Bleak's voice was mixed with gasps.What they were doing speaks for itself.I was wondering what kind of deep grudge Bleak had with the Mitaka Family.Even a women like Anita, who
