After breakfast, Vincent also had to go out; before he left, he instructed the servants to stay and talk to me to be less sad.

"I'll be back in the afternoon." Vincent kissed me lightly on the forehead and got into the car.

I watched until the car disappeared, then returned to the house and sat down on the sofa with a cold heart. I suddenly thought, if I had met Vincent earlier, how good it would be without animosity between him and me.

But it's too late; he and I can't be together forever.

In the afternoon, but Vincent didn't come back as he promised, I sat with my back against the window, looking out at the empty courtyard to the point of dismay.

The sky is so cloudy today; it looks like it will rain. Wait a minute, and I'm back in bed; how stupid am I to believe Vincent's promise? I felt so funny and ashamed of my actions; I was there, just waiting to see him.

Suddenly, from afar, an old car came running; I didn't know the brand, so I didn't realize what it was, only knowing that i

    Alan clicked his tongue, casually pulled up his pants, and cast two fingers on Laura’s blade aside. "Don't be angry; I was just joking, trying to scare her away to be less stubborn; the Alpha wants; I didn't dare to act stupid." Seeing that Laura didn't believe it, Alan explained further. "Rest assured, and I know the great work. I'm not crazy to find death.""Best as you say." Laura's expression worsened, and she hurriedly pulled me up. "Quick, get her out of here.""Why go? Is the sound of an oncoming car Alpha Clement's person?" Alan raised his eyes and asked."Bastard, it's not Alpha Clement but Vincent coming here for your life. Get her to Alpha Clement quickly." Laura yelled.Immediately she fell silent, her whole body shaking violently.Laura's grip squeezed my arm until it was about to break; she seemed very scared. Just then, a group of people poured in; they were dressed in military uniforms, their faces as expressionless as statues.I thought Vincent came to save me but sud

    I frowned at Vincent; this mental and physical torture was too cruel. Everyone knows that the men in the army are men of healthy age, they also require sexual relief, but the harsh conditions and military orders do not allow it. They were like a bunch of animals clutching their hungry bellies, and Laura was the hot piece of meat. Such delicious bait appeared before him; who could resist its allure?"By the way, kill her mother and younger brother; tidy up." Vincent's cold voice continued to echo above my head, making me shiver.I subconsciously squeezed his hand; I heard my voice go away. "You promised Laura you would spare her family; why change your mind now?"Vincent looked down at me, his eyes still calm and unwavering, but his words carried a strong smell of blood. "You are the woman I choose; whoever dares to touch you, that person must use his life to make up for it."With that said, Vincent leaned over and picked me up in his arms, and stood up. Strong footsteps left the aband

    I assumed everything would settle down for a while; at least I had more time to prepare a rescue plan for my mother and brother. But my only peaceful days were soon ended by the appearance of a girl.As usual, I changed my clothes and prepared to go out with Vincent; he said he would take me on a picnic and prepare snacks himself. It's been a long time since I've been out for a breath of fresh air. Usually, following Vincent, I hang out in fancy restaurants or noisy casinos, rarely experiencing natural relaxation.Suddenly I heard the sound of arguing reverberating in the living room, a girl's voice. I don't care about his private affairs; I want to stay in the room and wait for him to settle it; I will go there later.But there are some things that I can't avoid. The door to my room was suddenly flung open; in front of my eyes appeared a woman wearing a tight black dress, highlighting every curve, but why was the abdomen a bit different? But I don't understand, it's cold like this, b

    I looked down at Aboli's slightly padded belly, feeling somewhat pained. Whether that child is Vincent's or not, it will lose its mother after birth. I hesitated to warn Aboli but suddenly remembered that my family's safety was also in Vincent's hands. Being with him for a while, I also understood his callousness; he hated those who did his will, and I did not dare to play with my family's life.Aboli saw me staring at her belly and narrowed her eyes warningly. "If you're up to something, leave quickly; if you touch this baby, Vincent won't forgive you."I raised an eyebrow but didn't deny it. This she's right; Vincent won't forgive me if I hurt his children; I'm just an outsider anyway, no matter what. I have heard Vincent is cruel to the world because all his tenderness has been given to his brother and sister."Rest assured; I have no intention of doing anything to your child," I said and then glided past Aboli; going up the stairs, I looked back at her high heels, reminding me. "T

    Thinking that, I hurriedly ran downstairs; simultaneously, the servant was carrying the tea tray upstairs. Seeing me, she quickly put the tray down the stairs, reaching out to stop it. "Lady, where are you going? The boss told me to watch over you, not to let you go out to avoid affecting the wound."Did Vincent premeditate the people here to watch over me? Was he determined to kill Aboli?I mused for a few seconds, trying to sound as natural as possible, nonchalantly speaking. "I just want to go out and get some fresh air so it won't affect the wound."The servant's expression didn't change; it was still a stiff fake smile. "No, ma'am. The boss ordered I dare not disobey. Moreover, it is still sunny outside at this time. Unfortunately, you have a heat stroke; I know how to explain it to the boss now. I'm just a short servant; please don't force me."I frowned, and suddenly, a cry for help fell into my ears. The servant who had been expressionless just now couldn't contain her fear, a

    My bedroom is quite far from Aboli's; Vincent also forbids the servants to mention her to me, so I don't know anything about her condition. But I guess it's okay, so I don't mind too much; I don't want to have much to do with that sinister woman anyway.After a few days in the bedroom, I made my limbs soft like a boneless animal. My daily schedule is also simple; I wake up in the morning and wait for someone to bring food; after eating, I sleep until the afternoon; Vincent will come back in the evening to have dinner with me. He forbade me to go out, saying it affected the wound, but it was he who made me depressed.I sat sullenly by the window, looking out; I was afraid that if it continued like this, I would go crazy. While Vincent wasn't home, I sneaked out for a walk.Strangely, no one stopped me; I even assumed that with Vincent's weird personality, he would have people watching me everywhere.But I did not expect that everything was in his calculations. He continuously monitored

    When I finished my sentence, Vincent's face was black; he angrily banged on the closet next to it. The pitiful night lamp creaked, only to flash once, then fell to the ground. In the quiet space, his angry voice rang more clearly in my ears. "You can't even deal with a useless girl like Aboli. Do you still want revenge? You want to kill Clement, and I'm afraid you must wait until the afterlife!" Mentioning this, as well as profoundly touching the pain in my heart, for a moment, I felt my face white; each throbbing pain in my chest made my eyes red. "I don't need you to teach me wisdom. It is only a matter of time before I kill Clement, and later I will take his life to avenge my father." In the last sentence, I almost shouted; from the moment Vincent brought me to his side, I have always kept an attitude that is neither cold nor hot. I am always careful in every word or action to ensure the safety of my family. But today, I feel I have lost my mind; I must be crazy just because of s

    Seeing my dumbfounded expression, the maidservant continued to speak. "Moreover, today's harsh words are about wishing you well, taking care of you. If the boss doesn't return this time, I'm afraid you're dead."I was dumbfounded listening to her explanation; so far, I have been used to being protected by my family. I've never had to be on alert in my house.Hearing my sigh, the maidservant smiled softly. "Actually, BLOCK is not as scary as you imagine. Even though it's dangerous inside if you get past it...."She stopped and looked at me with brown eyes.I felt uncomfortable when someone looked at me so inquisitively that I lowered my eyes and said casually. "But no one ever made it through that hell. If there were, there would be only ghosts."The maidservant laughed louder as if amused by my ignorance, she said slowly. "One person overcame it; even that year, he was only seven years old."I wasn't in a good mood and still didn't pay much attention to the servant's words, but after

    No matter how bad life is, I still have to live. I can't abuse myself, and I can't let myself fall. I don't want to see Fayre gloating and happy. I had to find her, and I wanted her to experience the pain she caused Edward.Every day, I go to the hospital several times. At first, I wasn't allowed into the treatment room, but after a week, I was finally allowed to get close to my brother. Edward remains in a coma, but doctors say his condition is stable.I held Edward's hand and carefully wiped it.As usual, I will massage Edward's feet and talk to him to make time faster."Winter is coming; the air outside is frigid. But I still remember when you used to take me out to build a snowman; it was very beautiful, huge..." I suddenly stopped, feeling sad; all the beautiful memories for me seemed blocked by a door, and I didn't dare to step through.Suddenly, a man's hoarse voice rang out in the quiet room. "Orabella..."At first, I thought it was Vincent, but then I discovered it wasn't.I

    Orabella:After what felt like a century, I slowly woke up from a long sleep. I opened my eyes then, but my limbs were stiff as if plaster had been poured on them; I couldn't move. Even so, tears still rolled down my cheeks.According to what I saw, I was brought home, and a familiar room met my eyes, and the natural floral scent I liked the most. Everything is so normal that I can imagine it clearly with my eyes closed. However, my heart is empty, and I have lost the most crucial thing in life."Edward…" I whispered, my mouth dry and my tears falling like rain again, my chest constricting as I remembered what he had endured.A bloody Edward appeared before my eyes, his face pale and groans of pain.I reached out, wanting to touch it, but the image immediately disappeared. I smiled bitterly, and it turned out it was just my imagination.Just as I wanted to sit up, the door opened again. A face so familiar that I hated it appeared in my sight. He was surprised to see me awake; in those

    Unable to wait any longer, I rushed to the slave camp E. The soldiers bowed to their sides in greeting and seemed terrified at my sudden appearance. I passed them and went all the way down to the torture room. I could smell Orabella's blood from afar, and my steps became more urgent.My eyes were wide open; I couldn't believe what I saw was real. It made my heart ache like a thousand knives were stabbed.Without waiting for my order, the people behind me quickly opened the cell door.I rushed inside, hugging Orabella's limp body, who had passed out after being brutally tortured. My hand trembled, and I didn't dare hug her too tightly for fear of hurting her. My stomach tightened when I saw the wounds all over her body. The smell of blood quickly spread everywhere, causing pain in my chest. I lowered my eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were about to overflow."Orabella, please wake up," I whispered, my voice was so weak.Blood ran down my arm as I carried Orabella to the hospit

    Vincent:I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. I sat on the sofa and ran my hands through my hair. This feeling of loneliness makes me highly uncomfortable. Even though she left here long ago, I can still smell Orabella's scent in the air. For some reason, I have a terrible feeling about something.Hesitating momentarily, I dialed Oreballa's phone number but never pressed the call button. Initially, I told her we needed time and space to be more comfortable. But now it's only been three hours, and I've broken my promise again; how bad am I in her eyes?I sighed and put the phone down. I couldn't sleep again that night. I couldn't stand it anymore in the morning, so I went home. I don't care what Orabella thinks of me, but until I see her safe, I probably won't be able to focus on anything for the next week.Thinking about it, I drove like flying home.As soon as I parked the car in the yard, I saw Fayre's shocked face. What made me unhappy was why she was still here.More tha

    Slap!A shrill screech tore through the cold wind, my red hand slowly descending along with Fayre's swollen half-face.Everyone present was amazed by my somewhat crazy actions. Their face was written the question: Who is that girl that dares to slap Vincent's sister?Fayre's eyes widened in shock, clutching her left cheek, hissing through her teeth. "You dare slap me?""Not only slap, I can kill you if you dare touch my brother again," I replied loudly without fear.Our eyes met for a few seconds, and Fayre's eyes were filled with utter fury. I smacked her once before without restraint, and Fayre said she would kill me if it happened again. And this time, her words came true.Fayre's eyes reddened, and she roared in command. "Catch her back, bring her to the torture area for me. It would be nice if she could see her brother again in the moment before she died; that's also the last kindness I have for her."My hands were tied, I struggled with all my strength but could not escape the f

    The night wind blew colder and colder, and I pulled my oversized jacket over my body, this shirt Vincent gave me with a thing. I reached out my hand to touch my pocket; the palm of my hand conveyed a cold feeling like a cold burn. A gun with real bullets inside makes it easy to finish anyone.When Vincent gave it to me, I was surprised and asked him. "Aren't you afraid I'll use it to pierce your heart?"Vincent casually smirked. "If you can afford it, I won't stop you. But before you do anything, you must consider the consequences, the benefits, and the harms."I gripped the gun in my hand, then turned towards him, my index finger trembling, but eventually had to put it down. Vincent's lips smiled calmly as if my actions were all part of his calculations.I sighed, frustrated at my weakness. I walked along the asphalt road, listening to the wind rustling on the trees and finding a sense of peace I had long lost. A few good memories rushed into my mind when the incident had not happene

    I was violently thrown down in front of Vincent's door; in pain, I heard a knock on the door, and then the group of men quickly disappeared. In the long, gloomy corridor, I was left alone for a moment.Due to the gag, I couldn't speak or scream; I could only use all my strength to untie the ropes and get out of there before Vincent opened the door.But in the end, still not in time, the door opened, and Vincent's cold face appeared in the darkness. His eyes darted over mine, including a few glints of unspeakable astonishment. There was only an awkward and suffocating atmosphere between us.After a minute, Vincent stooped to help me up. He helped me untie and remove the towel from my mouth, coldly throwing it in the trash. My wrists and legs were red but red due to being tightened by the rope; I frowned and rubbed it a little to relieve the pain. Just as I wanted to leave, Vincent's bloody arm caught my eye; he let his hand drop to his thigh, blood still dripping from the wound, drippi

    But at the same time, I can't forget the reason why my family fell into the situation today, and I can't forget the feeling of falling from heaven to hell; I can't forget where my unhappiness comes from, much less forget what made me change into a completely different person.I remember I used to like to laugh. I remember I used to have a lot of dreams and ambitions; I remember I dreamed of a perfect life partner. I remember my former self.I looked at Vincent's pupils, where my current self was reflected. A person so strange that I didn't recognize, a person that disgusted me.Vincent pinned my shoulder blades to the point of pain, uncontrollably shaking.After a few moments, Vincent slowly let go of me; he reached out to squeeze my chin, his voice hoarse with a hint of cruelty. "No matter how much you hate me, you must be by my side even if you don't want to. You say I'm a demon; you're right. So don't try to escape; the more uncomfortable you are, the more I want to torment you, to

    Seeing her like that should have made me very happy, but why do I feel uncomfortable in my chest?I suddenly remembered Edward; before, every time I did something wrong, afraid of being discovered by my parents, I would hug his arm tightly to coax him; if not, I would cry bitterly. I know Edward is most afraid of seeing my tears, knowing his weakness, so I always use that method to force him to lie for me. Although Edward often found out I was faking, he still indulged me unconditionally. Because of Edward, I have never been afraid of anything because I understand well that no matter what terrible things I do, there is someone behind me ready to support me.Remembering some old things makes me unable to help but feel bitter when I remember the present. Edward's cold, emotionless face popped into my head, tightening my chest. I looked up at Vincent; Edward and Vincent's faces interlocked. They are utterly different in every way, but they have one thing in common: that is hugely loving
