Elliot's car drove quickly on the bridge.The wind blew in from outside the open window, his black hair fluttered wildly. Elliot made a phone call, wearing a Bluetooth headset: "Milan, listen carefully, Ashley, I won't give up on her, I will protect my family, let's see who will be the final winner."On the other end of the line, the man's slender fingers tapped the phone case twice, after listening, the corners of his mouth curved up, his voice calm: "Okay, no matter what you want to do, I will accompany you to the end. But don't even think about touching my things."The two sides seemed to hang up the phone at the same time, and without saying another word, each side entered a state of preparation for battle.Elliot has been very diligent recently, this is the common understanding in the business world.Tonight there is a company party, he also came to attend, so there are quite a few young ladies, all dressed up.Bright lights, swimming pool, villa, men and women dressed beautifull
Behind the desk, a man was working hard.Elliot's fingers were restless, constantly tapping on the keyboard, busy with work, he picked up the cup of coffee beside him, treated it like a cup of tea, drank it all, and then buried his head in work again.Milan was right - if he dared to be careless and sluggish, there would be no way to deal with the blows Milan caused.Only at this moment, Elliot feels powerless... When he and Milan were young, they were both friends and enemies, fighting each other in everything, but never won once.At that time, he did not believe it, this feeling of disbelief, until adulthood, until today, is still the same.It's just that, Milan is a monster, and only when he fought him, did Elliot discover, that this person in the business field, regardless of method money, or talent, is favored by the heavens."I never won a single battle when I was young, but this time I cannot lose." For Ashley, he couldn't lose to that guy named Milan.4 a.m., Elliot's office,
If Ashley knew Elliot thought like this, then no matter what happened today, she would not soften, would not interfere this time."Recently... I've been quite busy recently, Ashley, just be obedient, I'll come back to find you soon. Before that, take good care of yourself, don't get hurt, promise me."Ashley's heart suddenly beat faster, she lowered her eyes, looking at Elliot's hand holding hers, her heart suddenly felt unstable... How could she not be moved?Someone told her: Take good care of yourself, don't get hurt.Ashley raised her eyes, her gaze stopped on the man's face, the excitement of wanting to say everything was stuck in her throat, wanting to expose her past in front of him, to let him understand who she was, and what kind of person she was... She wanted to tell him the truth... Peel off her layer by layer, expose her ugliest side, and let him see clearly.But she wanted to say, she was very agitated at the moment."Elliot, my name is Ashley." She suddenly opened her m
As soon as she finished speaking, the man sitting in the driver's seat beside her immediately turned his head happily and asked her: "Really? Really?""Elliot, aren't you deaf?""Temporary deafness. Now it's over."Although Ashley had never been in such a fluctuating mood, even those who were paralyzed, their facial skin could tremble a few times at this moment, she quickly lowered her eyes, looking down at her hand.Elliot's bright eyes at this moment, also revealed a hint of a smile.Ashley remembered again: "Elliot, you still haven't told me, why you want me to take a leave, what do you want to do?"While speaking, there was a sound of brakes, and the car stopped."Here." Elliot looked at Ashley and smiled: "Get out of the car, you will know soon."Ashley looked doubtful, Elliot got out of the car, went to the passenger seat, and opened the door for her: "Ashley, get out of the car."Ashley looked at the building in front of her, it was an old factory that had been renovated, not
“You know, Mr. Kane. There are people, it’s not that they don’t know how to cry because of pain, but when they cry because of pain, they won’t be noticed, instead, they will be brutally beaten.” She was talking about her life in those three years: “Then I want to ask Mr. Kane, is it wrong for people to endure without crying because of pain just to avoid being brutally beaten? Is it because they are dishonest?”Kane suddenly stiffened, but immediately, a mocking smile appeared on that beautiful face: “You seem to have a special talent for acting pitiful. You say that, like if I hurt you, if you cry because of pain, I will beat you again.”Ashley lowered her eyes… People who have never experienced this will not understand. Some people say, 17 days, practice until it becomes a habit.If 17 days can form a habit, then… what about three years?Then, understanding becomes understanding, not understanding becomes understanding, and then there is no need to say more.“Mr. Kane, you should let
That night, Elliot didn’t tell Ashley the reason he wanted her to take a leave.“Elliot, you told me to take a leave, is it to take me on the Ferris wheel?” Ashley looked at the giant Ferris wheel in front of her in disbelief.“Let’s go, I promised you, I’ll take you on the Ferris wheel.”Elliot held out his hand, and Ashley cautiously took a step back.“Ashley?” Did she not want to go on the Ferris wheel?Ashley cautiously looked at Elliot: “Elliot… I’m sorry.”She was sorry, she could only leave him with the words “I’m sorry.”Elliot was stunned, a moment later, his serious face, suddenly revealed a smile: "It's okay if we don't sit today, then one day we will sit on the Ferris wheel together." This sentence contained a hidden meaning.Ashley did not resist, raised her head to look at the sky, and then said: "Elliot, I feel a little tired, you take me back to the dormitory."After listening, Elliot looked deeply at Ashley, finally, his magnetic voice said: "Okay."Wait until they ar
This is an amusement park. Normally, there will be people holding parties here. Ashley tried to lower her head, wanting to hide her face, not daring to let the people at the party see her… She didn't dare imagine what kind of situation she would face once she was seen by others.Fortunately, Midge didn't want others to see her either. Ashley hid herself among the young ladies, lowered her head, followed Midge, walked through the crowd, and accidentally touched someone's clothes, Ashley hurriedly said "I'm sorry", then lifted her feet and continued to follow Midge, not daring to raise her head even a little.Midge hurriedly walked. Ashley also had a hard time following her. The people around her became less and less. The further she went, the fewer people there were. Finally, the surroundings became quiet. Only then did she cautiously look back. Then, unconsciously, she discovered that Midge had already walked to the end of the corridor on the second floor.The door was made of metal,
“You should show your “ability”, The sisters also want to witness your “service level”with their own eyes.”The shrill voice reached Ashley's ears, the woman lowered her head, her nails digging into her flesh, using all her strength to control the anger that was spreading throughout her body... In her anger, there was also a bit of helplessness... It turned out that no matter how much she protected her remaining self-respect, in the end, she could not change the reality - she was just a prisoner with the number "926", the rest was nothing."Ashley, don't forget, the video in my phone, can be posted anytime, anywhere, if I post it on social media, what do you think will happen?"Ashley gritted her teeth, her expression was a bit unsightly, and the hand pressed against her body clenched so tightly that it trembled.Wanting to struggle, trying to fight back.But then she discovered that no matter what she did, it was useless... This feeling of helplessness made people feel extremely des
My parents stood not far away, but they did not enter the garden. At that time, I didn't understand, were my parents sad.Later I learned that my parents wanted to give my grandparents a final space.Her funeral was not a big deal, but the whole city of S, even the powerful and prestigious people, came to pay their respects.Her funeral was arranged by my grandfather.After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather's bones began to weaken.After examination, they couldn't find the cause. My father said, "Your grandfather has a mental illness."What is mental illness? I didn't dare ask.It's just that every year after my grandmother passed away, my grandfather would hold her portrait, and cherish it, as if my grandmother was still alive.Occasionally, my grandfather would talk to her portrait, as if he were talking to her. Another spring, everything seemed to be restored.My grandfather pulled me back and said, "Like.""Like what?""Like your grandmother.""Don't be sad anymore." I'm
My name is Kal Elise. This name was given by my grandfather, and as for his personality, according to my experience when I was young, he was not a good person.My grandfather's name was Milan. I heard that he was extremely charismatic when he was young.My grandmother's name is Ashley.Sometimes I wonder why this couple, who seemed to be incompatible, can still be together until now.Before my father was born, my grandparents divorced.After the divorce, my grandparents did not remarry.My grandfather did not care about my face and clung to my grandmother all day long.Since I have memories, my grandfather has always treated my grandmother well.Grandpa Tyson told me: Your grandfather never bowed to anyone, he was arrogant, and everyone was afraid of him.But why do I feel that what Grandpa Tyson said is not trustworthy?If my grandfather was that strong, why did he obediently run home like a puppy just because of a glare from my grandmother?Moreover, have you ever met an arrogant ma
“Divorce is good.”The old man snorted and walked on crutches.“Wait.” She chased after him: “The matter between you and my grandfather, don’t drag it onto me anymore. I don’t owe you. If you still want to collect the debt, find my late grandfather. Okay, I’ve made my position clear, you go, I won’t see you off.”“You…” The old man behind her trembled with anger, but Ashley had already gone far away.Meadow chased after her: “What’s the matter? Is there a grudge between Elise's house and Patterson's house?”“Nothing.”“Then I…”“I don’t like that old man.”Meadow agreed with her: “That’s right.” Elise's house and Patterson's house, the grudge between Mr. Elise and Mr. Morio, it’s best to resolve it between the two of them. As for her, she didn’t want to mention it.3 days after the surgery. Inside the intensive care unit, the man lying on the bed did not have any reaction.Even the slightest reaction was enough to make everyone happy.The morning of the first day.The man on the bed
However, she didn't need to do anything, the girl quietly looked at the man on the hospital bed, and a second later, she reached out to him.“You don't need to dirty your hands for me…” Before he could finish his words, a thin, weak body pressed against him.Suddenly, a soft feeling rose in his heart.He was surprised and didn't know what was happening."You..."Her index finger unbuttoned his shirt, and she turned over and sat on him, in a position like making love. "You..."She lowered her head and kissed his lips. If he could still endure like this, then he wasn't a man.His mind was blank.His body responded honestly, his big hand grabbed her waist, tilted his head, and kissed her back.Outside the door, Reuben heard the sound of the door locking, he suddenly felt worried, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but was stopped by Meadow."The door is locked, what if she does something bad to the young master...""That's not the case." Meadow retorted.Tyson's face was solemn: "S
In the hospital, the door of the ward opened without a sound.When Tyson ran over, he saw the girl.He didn't say anything, Meadow pulled him out into the hallway and closed the door.The man lay on the bed, his head tilted to one side, sleeping, deep in his dream.Not knowing what was in his dream, he frowned, showing that his sleep was not peaceful.The hand on the bed was wearing a wedding ring.The girl walked slowly, finally stopping in front of the man's hospital bed.Her eyes fell on the man's ring finger.She didn't know what she was thinking.She just stared at the ring for a long time, staring until she fell into thought.Not knowing how long it had been, the man opened his eyes vaguely, seeing the girl in his dream.He smiled slightly: "I'm dreaming again."Like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, his tone of voice to her was both gentle and warm: "That's great, you still appear in my dream."The girl standing by the bed was lost in thought, her eyes gradually focused
In the three years, she also saw Milan constantly looking for Ashley. Everyone told her to stop looking, maybe Ashley had died long ago.If she didn't die, why couldn't he find her after three years?But that man didn't believe it, he kept looking. In addition to finding the girl in his heart, his life was all about work.What Meadow saw was an arrogant man, never giving up on finding the girl in his heart.Although she couldn't tell what Milan had done, she could see that he was very persistent.All of these were things she expected from a man, but perhaps she couldn't find that person in her entire life.But Ashley wasn't like that.She could get the happiness she couldn't have from Ashley. She had gone through bad things with Ashley, and all those bad pasts would probably end with Ashley.She admitted she was very biased.But the important thing is that she can see that Ashley is not a heartless person. Ashley does not completely give up, it is just that she is running away.If the
Tyson sneered: "Now you say it's all over, why didn't you say it straight at first? I'll tell you, you're strange. At first, you didn't hesitate to use any tricks, you refused to let go. Now that you're sick, you chased her away."Tyson felt a little sour in his heart: "Now I believe it, you love her very deeply."The man didn't say anything, Tyson also felt bored."I heard she's going back to City A."The man paused for a moment, then hoarsely said: "She likes that place, it's a good place. Okay, okay.""Aren't you going to say goodbye to her? This might be the last time you two see each other."As a friend, he didn't want to say these unfortunate words. As a doctor, he knew very well how serious his good friend's condition was."No... No more." The man tilted his head and looked out the window: “She hates me, I’ve always known that.”“You…” Tyson wanted to say why he had to be like this, but he respected his friend’s choice: “You like sleeping more and more, why didn’t you tell me a
In the hospital.In the VIP room, today an unexpected figure appeared."Let him in."In the ward, the man of few words.The door of the ward opened, and an outstanding man walked in."You grasped the news so quickly." On the hospital bed, the man gently curled his lips and said, his lips pale and bloodless.“I have a source. Even if you hide it well, I can't guarantee that you won't reveal it."The man curled his lips and smiled lightly: "You don't have to be in such a hurry. When I die, the Elise Group will be yours.""Hurry up." The person who came found a seat: "When you die, all the assets will be transferred to her."Although he didn't say who "she" was, a light flashed under the man's eyes: "You know me very well.""No no no." The person who came shook his finger: "It was just a coincidence that I saw Lawyer Mike coming out of the hospital that day. Lawyer Mike was hired by you, and has a department that only serves you and the Elise Group."He held a briefcase, and behind him w
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps her head was already wet, she raised her head slightly to peek… And couldn’t take her eyes off him anymore. She was captivated by the rich and complex emotions in his eyes.Gentle, lingering, and… what else could it be?She had used all her vocabulary to find a word that could describe it. But, she searched her mind but couldn’t find a word that could describe that gaze.Her eyes gradually became confused. She couldn’t understand this person’s gaze.The feeling was very familiar, but also very strange.A warm hand gently placed itself on her forehead.He gently rubbed the scars that would never disappear.“It must have hurt a lot back then.”That person gently asked her.She felt uncomfortable with this gentleness, so she placed her hand on his, and said without hesitation: “It doesn’t hurt.”Her body had experienced more pain than this wound.Ask her if it hurts. What's the point of pretending?At that moment, she thought.A red swelling immediate
