All Chapters of The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Leila poked his muscular arms. “How about you? How’s your day?” “Well, it was a long day of lectures. But I’m not that tired.”In three years, he had worked hard to secure an internship at Lu Technologies. He was hoping to foster a good relationship with them so he could get a better chance of partnering up with them. ‘I can’t rely on the fact that Leila is my girlfriend. Auntie is still not talking to me, so I have to have a backup plan… Good thing, I gained a good connection in Lu technologies.’“Really? That’s very uneventful… But I have some good news to share,” said Leila as they walked towards Julius’ unit. Julius’ brows raised, intrigued with Leila’s news. “Really? What is it?”“I got into ESMOD Paris!” “They sent me an acceptance letter, informing me that I got in! It’s so crazy!” “…”An awkward silence filled the hallway. Julius blankly stared at his house keys, unable to comprehend what Leila just said, “…Paris?”“…You applied there?”Julius slowly asked. He gripped th

Rui rushed to her friend who was only wrapped in a blanket. “Leila!”She inspected Leila’s condition and quickly saw a bruise on her neck. She immediately held her friend closely, keeping her away from the men standing before her. “Julius, you asshole!”Julius, who watched how quickly the tide turned, was pinned on the floor, unable to move. ‘No… This can’t be!’A million things ran through his head, as he searched for a way to both keep his reputation intact and Leila in his arms. Without skipping a beat, Rui called her family driver who was only waiting downstairs. “Please go up right now, it’s an emergency. Hurry—please!”Now that the situation has come to this, Julius wasn’t able to do anything. Rui, and Shane both saw Leila collapse in this condition. It’s hard to cover this up since they’re from influential families. He cannot do something to them. Still, Leila’s discovered. “Rui, it’s not what you think—“He tried to approach Leila, but he was cut off by Rui. “What?! Tha

Rui and Phyllis curiously leaned closer. “Spill it, come on!” Phyllis excitedly blurted out. Her body is itching to know the details of her friend’s toxic relationship.“Tell us only if you are comfortable. Your secrets will always be safe with us,” said Rui, who was trying to respect Leila’s decision but was still curious to know what happened. Leila’s lips thinned as she uncovered the bitterness that she hid in her heart. “Julius… He… He controls everything…”Her friends listened quietly as Leila spoke with so much difficulty. “Controls?” asked Phyllis. Leila nodded. “Yeah… He has access to my account—everything—he controls everything… My replies to your messages… Who I’m allowed to go out with…”Rui’s brows furrowed. “What?”“I am only allowed to go out with you two because I insisted on it… At first, he wanted to let me leave you guys but because of our parent’s close ties, he relented.”“Just us? B—but what about my brother?”Leila avoided Phyllis’ inquisitive eyes. Still, s

Phyllis’ parents both went ahead earlier than them as they needed to return the graduation gowns that they rented. Today, they were supposed to celebrate their graduation… But the universe just has other plans for them. “Sir let’s hurry home, please…”Leila urged the driver as she anxiously fidgeted on the cords that were hanging on her neck. As soon as she heard about the news, she was itching to go home immediately. To say that she was nervous and worried is an understatement. Anxiety is eating her up so bad… It was especially since her mother rushed to check the scene. She knew full well that it was dangerous, yet her mother went ahead to the compound.Their family business has been around for three generations now. They started from trading textiles and over the years, it has developed into a massive manufacturing group. Of course, they have also dabbled in other businesses. However, it was the manufacturing company that made it big. It was Leila’s mother, Laura, that developed

“Laura, don’t be impulsive. Allen and Jackson are meeting Prosecutor Hale… You can’t just do this!”Laura barged into the private dining room in a restaurant in Lieren with her lawyer, Atty. Chen.BAM!The sound of the door slamming surprised the people inside the room. The waiters, serving the dishes paused to take a look at Laura’s glaring eyes. Allen sprung up from his seat upon seeing his ex-wife. “Laura—“Laura furiously cut his words as she pointed at him. “You! How dare you!”“How dare you do this to my daughter?!”She scanned the entire room and saw Jackson who was sitting next to Allen. “And you—“She quickly grabbed a glass of water before pouring it to Jackson. “You’re as filthy as your son!”Crestfallen, Jackson wasn’t able to move after being soaked in ice-cold water. He did not expect that the famously cold businesswoman would do this kind of thing. He knew her as someone serious and composed. Doing something like this is so out of her character. “LAURA!” Allen yelled
