About You

Zoe laughed silently as she watched Iris apologize while sobbing. Her crying was very convincing, not to mention her face looked remorseful. Many people naturally believed the apology.They believed her when she said she was fatigued and weak from the cold. The right reason, followed by a tearful apology, is compelling.Many fans on the forum where Zoe uploaded the video yesterday have posted an apology and praised her for having the courage to admit her mistake, understanding her grievances at the time, and asking everyone to stop bashing her, as well as a request to stop sharing the snippet of the video Zoe uploaded.Zoe deleted her thread and even the account she used to post the video. The person who downloaded the video and shared it is no longer her. Zoe didn't have to go to the length of spreading the word, as human nature generally loves juicy gossip, which helped her.Zoe now uses another account to surf the forum and is very satisfied with all the comments she has read.Alth

Your Hope for Healing

Zoe typed for a long time, not because the text was long, but because she deleted it several times. It wasn't easy to talk about something she hadn't thought about in a long time because she wanted to forget it.[I don't know because I never heard the doctor diagnose it properly. I ran from the hospital before they could diagnose me.]Zoe gave a short answer as she saw Wolf leaning forward. He couldn't wait to read her response."How did you run?" Wolf squinted his eyes in confusion. Of course, as a patient, Zoe should obey the doctor, who would not let her leave before giving a diagnosis.[I have no money to pay for treatment. I was in a coma for seven months after the accident. I had no health insurance. I couldn't possibly stay in the hospital while the bills mounted, so I left before my treatment was complete.]Zoe went on, typing longer than she should have. It was tough to remember all that. Zoe left the hospital when she had regained the use of her arms and legs. She had diffi

Trace of Your Memories

Zoe lowered her head, ensuring her face remained hidden beneath the hoodie that covered her head. She was more cautious because the likelihood of someone recognizing her was higher. She found herself in an unfamiliar environment.It was a place she shouldn't visit, as it could land her in jail. But Zoe had no choice. She didn't want to stay silent while waiting for the attack on Iris.The alternative was, of course, seeking revenge on Max. Zoe would do something similar to Max—finding evidence and spreading it—but doing so would require more effort and be more dangerous because Zoe's information about Max's activities was limited. Max was not Wolf's artist.However, it didn't mean Zoe would act recklessly. She had some information about Max that she obtained from Becca. Of course, the request didn't explicitly mention Max.She asked Becca for the names of singers from Wolf—and their schedules, but with a filter for singers collaborating with Nova—Billy's company.There were many singe

Your Cruelty is Still the Same

Zoe tried to get up, but the man who tackled her quickly immobilized her, boiling her back and pulling both of her hands behind her. Zoe couldn't shout or do anything; she could only growl while squirming."QUIET!" The man shouted, then pulled Zoe to stand with her hands behind her back. Three or four bodyguards had caught up."Who is she?" One of them asked."She... Oh, right! She's the crazy girl obsessed with Max! Mr. Dacosta showed me her photo!! Luckily, someone recognized her earlier." The man holding her hands removed Zoe's hood, revealing her entire face."Oh, yes. Mr. Dacosta said we should call the police if she shows up." Another man finally recognized Zoe. Dacosta was Billy, and Zoe boiled with anger upon hearing that name.Billy apparently wasn't satisfied with just making false accusations; he also wanted to ensure Zoe didn't interfere with his money-making."I've already called the police. Take her to the front of the park." Another bodyguard chimed in, and Zoe's strugg

What's Your Decision?

"Mr. Wolf!" Someone called as Wolf stepped out of the car. It wasn't strange because they had already arranged to meet."Mr. Harvey." Wolf greeted him, extending his hand for a handshake."Just Cliff. Clay is a friend. Relax." Cliff smiled warmly as his feet kept moving towards the police station. Wolf had asked for Clay's help earlier, remembering he had mentioned having a friend who was a lawyer now living in New York—opening a new law firm here.Wolf had a corporate lawyer on retainer, but only for civil matters; they are not licensed to handle criminal cases. So, he reluctantly sought help. Besides, it was safer this way. Wolf didn't want rumors about him getting married circulating at the company. Becca wouldn't talk about Zoe. He knew the limits of the gossip he could share."What's your relationship with the suspect?" Cliff asked, waving to the police officers, who welcomed them at the entrance."She... is my wife." There was a brief pause as Wolf considered whether it was safe

Your Friendliness is Excessive

But no words were heard from Wolf's lips after that. When Zoe glanced, Wolf wasn't even looking at her.Wolf was half-focused on Cliff, who was still flipping through documents in his hands. Despite the possibility that the restraining order had been denied, Cliff seemed to be exploring another avenue. Therefore, Wolf waited without causing a scene."Miss Anderson hasn't violated this restraining order before this, has she?" Cliff asked."No. There have been no violation reports before today," said the police officer."And today's violation occurred in Central Park. Miss Anderson can't be charged for this."The police officer immediately frowned. "What do you mean she can't be charged? It's clear she can. Miss Anderson was near Maxwell Taylor, less than a hundred meters away.""But she was in a public facility. Central Park, where hundreds of people come and go every day. While here, it clearly states 'approaching in private space.'"Cliff showed the document in his hand for the offic

The Rest of Your Sanity

"I apologize. Nice to meet both of you," Cliff finally excused himself hurriedly, feeling that he had made a mistake.As soon as Cliff was out of sight, Wolf immediately grabbed Zoe's hand and led her towards the car. No one spoke until Wolf started the car. Zoe, of course, just kept her head down. She had no idea how Wolf would react to this unfortunate situation."Can your condition be cured or not? This stalking, do you need to see a psychiatrist?" Wolf asked, finally breaking the silence."Hmm..." Zoe shook her head, forming an X with her hands, indicating that she doesn't have a stalking hobby."DON'T LIE TO ME! Do you think I would believe this?!" Wolf shouted, throwing the piece of paper that Zoe handed to Cliff earlier.Zoe's reasons meant nothing to Wolf because, as far as he knew, Zoe had a habit of stalking. And Zoe didn't have a good reason to cover it up. Clearly, she couldn't say anything because her plan had already been set in motion."What do you like about her? Of al

Compensate For Your Mistakes

"Remember, you should not do things that make me bothered."Wolf brought his face close to Zoe's ear as he spoke. He wanted Zoe to truly hear him and imprint his words in her mind.Zoe nodded while pulling her head away due to the ticklish sensation."Who said you could move? I just reminded you about obedience!" Wolf hissed, pulling Zoe's waist closer until it hit his thighs.Wolf brushed away Zoe's hair that hung on his shoulder, gently massaging Zoe's nape. It wasn't an affectionate touch; Zoe didn't feel any love in that touch. It was the touch a wolf gives to its prey before devouring it. Not a soothing touch, just a threat."You're the one who made that agreement... You traded your status as a free human for power. I don't care how you use it, but it will be a problem if you use it to stalk."Zoe lowered her head with folded hands. Her body shivered, alert but cornered. She was indeed careless. She shouldn't have been greedy and approached Max without careful preparation."I'll

Your Guess is Too Ridiculous

Zoe knew she was supposed to be experiencing an extraordinary part of life, but she couldn't enjoy it at all.She had been trembling almost non-stop since the plane she was on took off, even after landing again. Zoe missed her first experience on a private jet because she was too scared.The uncertainty about her fate made Zoe too anxious. The vivid memory of Wolf saying he wanted to make money from her lingered in her mind. Zoe knew she could only make money from one thing because she had no other skills that could generate income—except selling her body. Harsh, but that was the reality she acknowledged.Zoe doubted that Wolf would only sell her for stripping. He wouldn't have brought her this far just for that.Zoe began to consider whether the revenge she wanted to take was worth what she was about to do. She wanted revenge but never intended to stoop to prostitution.What she was about to do to Wolf might be almost similar, but Zoe did it knowing she would get more than money in r

This is All For You

"What's wrong with you? This is just a hospital. I'm not really going to sell your organs!" Wolf exclaimed, puzzled by her fear.[They'll catch me! I ran away with a huge debt! I don't want to be in the hospital!] Zoe typed anxiously.Even though they were in a different state now, a hospital was still a hospital to Zoe. She worried that the hospital she was in before might have connections with the one in front of them. She didn't want to be in that place."I just want you to meet someone. There is no need to register or do anything. Your name won't show up in the hospital system. There's no need to be afraid like this. Nothing will happen to you here."Wolf tried to reassure her while shaking his head. His patience was truly being tested, as was Zoe's. Her emotions were in turmoil, switching between fear, humiliation, relief, and then panic."Come down! Let's go in." Wolf, who had already stepped out and stood by the open door, bowed while waving his hand, urging Zoe to come down.B
