This late-night news quickly dominated the trending topics on Twitter.<br /> <br /> Inside a suburban villa, Jessie Whitney looked at the two marriage certificates on the table, her lips curling with a hint of irony.<br /> <br /> Today was the day she and Elliot registered for marriage. However, her husband was with another woman on their wedding night. How ridiculous!<br /> <br /> Her phone rang at this moment, and a picture of Elliot getting water in a hotel room appeared.<br /> <br /> [Jessie, even if you marry Elliot, you are still completely defeated.] The text was sent by Shania and was full of mockery.<br /> <br /> Jessie closed her eyes and casually threw her phone aside, feeling a touch of bitterness in her heart.<br /> <br /> Everyone thought she only married Elliot to repay his kindness, but they didn't know that she already had a crush on him back in college.<br /> <br /> Elliot strongly opposed this marriage, but he had to compromise under pressure from his grandpa.<br /> <br /> So this was how the current situation came about.<br /> <br /> Elliot did not show up for the next three days. In the afternoon, Jessie had just finished a surgery when she received a call from Elliot.<br /> <br /> "It's Grandpa's birthday banquet tonight. I will pick you up in the evening." Before Jessie could even respond, he hung up the phone directly. It was obvious that Elliot greatly despised her.<br /> <br /> Jessie smirked with a hint of sarcasm as she thought inwardly, 'If it weren't for his grandpa Mario Flores, he probably wouldn't even be able to muster a perfunctory response.'<br /> <br /> After work, Jessie returned home. After taking a shower, she chose a low-key yet luxurious light blue dress. Just as she had taken off her bathrobe, the door to the room was pushed open.<br /> <br /> It was Elliot. He was wearing a black suit, and his handsome face seemed to have been meticulously carved by God, perfect and flawless.<br /> <br /> His gaze briefly swept across Jessie's chest before he quickly looked away.<br /> <br /> "Mr. Flores, you don't even knock before entering the room?" Even though Elliot was her husband, Jessie still felt a bit embarrassed. She quickly wrapped the towel around herself, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.<br /> <br /> Elliot mocked, "Do I have to knock on the door to enter my own room? You're really calculated, Jessie Whitney. Even if you stripped naked in front of me, I wouldn't feel anything for you. "<br /> <br /> 'Calculated? Elliot thought I deliberately tried to seduce him?' Jessie only felt it ridiculous, asking, "So I am such a person to you?"<br /> <br /> "Are you not?" Initially, Elliot didn't think that Jessie had any ulterior motives. However, such a simple and harmless woman actually convinced his grandpa he had to marry her.<br /> <br /> From that moment on, he had an indescribable sense of disgust toward her.<br /> <br /> He hated the feeling of being controlled by others.<br /> <br /> "Believe what you want." Jessie didn't bother to explain further. She just changed her clothes, put on some lipstick, and got into the car with Elliot.<br /> <br /> Today was Mario's 80th birthday celebration. He invited all the high society celebrities.<br /> <br /> People in the business world basically all knew that Elliot got married a few days ago.<br /> <br /> Regarding the recent rumors about Elliot, it was widely assumed that his rumored wife would likely be Shania Horne, the daughter of the Horne family, given the long-standing relationship between the Flores and Horne families.<br /> <br /> As a result, everyone was stunned when Jessie and Elliot got out of the car together.<br /> <br /> Jessie had flawless skin and delicate features without a trace of makeup. The light blue dress seemed to be tailored for her.<br /> <br /> Her every move seemed like that of a heavenly fairy, so stunningly beautiful that she took the onlooker's breath away. When she stood next to Elliot, they appeared to be a perfectly matched couple.<br /> <br /> "Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful," said one guest.<br /> <br /> "Wow, she looks really unfamiliar. I've never seen her before," added another one.<br /> <br /> "That dress she's wearing must be the latest style from Karen. Who is this girl?" a third one chimed in.<br /> <br /> "I think I've seen her before... Oh, I remember now, she's the doctor from Hulio Hospital! I met her a few days ago for a check-up."<br /> <br /> 'The Flores family's new bride is actually a doctor?' the onsite guests couldn't help wondering.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 The Fake Painting<br /> Hearing the people around gossiping, Elliot's mother, Kelly, was getting somewhat displeased as she welcomed the guests at the gate.<br /> <br /> Elliot's younger sister, Linda, disdainfully said, "I don't know what Grandpa was thinking. There are so many wealthy heiresses pursuing my brother, yet he insists on Elliot marrying this shameful orphan."<br /> <br /> As Jessie and Elliot approached, Kelly immediately pulled Jessie aside and warned in a stern tone, "Pay attention to your every move. Don't embarrass the Flores family at the banquet."<br /> <br /> Jessie's eyes flickered slightly as she replied softly, "I see, Kelly."<br /> <br /> Elliot listened to the conversation of the two nearby without giving any reaction.<br /> <br /> At that moment, Linda exclaimed in surprise, "Shania, you're here!"<br /> <br /> Shania walked over slowly, smiling and greeting the Flores family members, "Yeah, nice to meet you, Mrs. Flores."<br /> <br /> However, when her eyes fell on Jessie, her smiling face suddenly froze.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, both of them were wearing light blue dresses today. However, Jessie was actually wearing the latest design from the mysterious fashion designer Karen, which Shania had tried every means but failed to have. In comparison, her outfit was obviously somewhat inferior.<br /> <br /> A hint of gloom flickered in Shania's eyes but quickly disappeared.<br /> <br /> Jessie followed quietly with the group into the hall. Mario greeted her with a kindly smile and then pulled her aside.<br /> <br /> "Happy birthday, Grandpa," said Jessie first.<br /> <br /> "Thanks, Jessie." Mario looked very pleased and asked with a smile, "How have these days been? Has Elliot been good to you? If that little punk bullies you, remember to tell me. I will take care of him for you."<br /> <br /> Jessie gave a slight smile and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. He didn't."<br /> <br /> Seeing how Mario treated Jessie, Shania squeezed her fingers and felt very jealous. Nevertheless, she still maintained a bright smile and said, "Happy birthday, Mr. Flores. This is my gift to you. I hope you like it."<br /> <br /> Shania's assistant presented a box, and Mario opened it with a smile. The gift was a landscape painting.<br /> <br /> "Is this the masterpiece of Mr. Thornton?" Kelly spoke up.<br /> <br /> As was well known, Mario had a great passion for collecting paintings.<br /> <br /> The renowned painter Ariel Thornton had now put down his brush. His works were extremely rare and valuable. Even with unlimited wealth, it was very difficult to obtain his works.<br /> <br /> "Shania, you are so thoughtful. I really like it!" Mario was all smiles. It was clear that he liked the gift.<br /> <br /> "I'm glad you like it, Mr. Flores." With that, Shania turned to Jessie and casually asked, "Jessie, I wonder what gift you have prepared for Mr. Flores. I also want to have a look."<br /> <br /> In order to please Mario, Shania really went all out to get this painting. She believed that Jessie's gift was definitely no match for hers.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Jessie looked up at Shania's slightly provocative eyes. She smirked and nonchalantly took out the gift she had prepared. It was also a painting.<br /> <br /> Shania's eyes brightened with a smile. "What a coincidence! Jessie, you also prepared a painting!"<br /> <br /> 'But whose paintings can compare to that of Ariel Thornton? Jessie, you will ultimately be trampled under my feet. Just wait to be humiliated!' said Shania inwardly.<br /> <br /> Mario's eyes immediately froze as he opened the painting.<br /> <br /> The guests looked at it. The painting was exactly the same as the one Shania had given to Mario.<br /> <br /> Between two identical paintings, one of them must be a fake.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 I Will Never Like You<br /> "Jessie, Mario has been so good to you. How dare you fool him with a fake painting!" Kelly's expression changed immediately, and she accused Jessie directly.<br /> <br /> 'Shania Horne is the beloved daughter of the Horne family. There's no way she would send a fake painting. Instead, this Jessie Whitney is a low-class doctor...' said the guests inwardly.<br /> <br /> The people around started to look at Jessie with disdain, like they were watching a joke.<br /> <br /> Jessie didn't pay any mind to those stares, instead looking right at Elliot.<br /> <br /> Elliot stared at the painting and casually said, "It's real."<br /> <br /> His words had always been very persuasive. Shania's expression suddenly changed when she heard it. "No way, this painting was bought at an auction. How could it be fake?"<br /> <br /> Hearing it, everyone burst into laughter, thinking, 'It is known that Ariel's paintings are not to be auctioned. This old man sells his paintings on a whim. He just sells to whoever he likes. Does Shania not even know this insider information?'<br /> <br /> When Mario unfolded the two paintings together, it was obvious to see that Shania's painting was fake.<br /> <br /> The guests around carefully observed them and noticed the numerous flaws in the counterfeit.<br /> <br /> Mario looked a little unpleasant and handed the painting to Shania. "Shania, I'm afraid I can't accept your painting."<br /> <br /> Shania bit her lip, her eyes slightly red. "Mr. Flores, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't know that this painting was fake."<br /> <br /> Looking at the expressions of the people around her, Shania felt like her face was on fire. The painting, which sold for millions of dollars, was like a total rip-off.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Mario was smiling and asking Jessie, "Jessie, how did you persuade Ariel to sell you this painting? Tell me all about it."<br /> <br /> Jessie maintained a composed and modest attitude, speaking in a calm tone. "I was fortunate enough to meet Ariel while studying abroad, and he sold me this painting afterward."<br /> <br /> "Great! Everyone seems to like our Jessie." Mario chuckled heartily and couldn't stop praising Jessie. Then he turned to Elliot and said, "Why don't you take Jessie to receive the guests?"<br /> <br /> "Okay." Jessie nodded and followed Elliot into the banquet hall.<br /> <br /> At this point, Shania recovered from the previous embarrassment and chatted lively with an international director, Cordell Bowman.<br /> <br /> Cordell had just arrived at the banquet and hadn't seen Jessie yet. His eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Jessie.<br /> <br /> He walked forward, not hiding his admiration at all in his eyes. "You must be Mrs. Flores? Hi, I'm Cordell Bowman."<br /> <br /> "Hello, Mr. Bowman," Jessie responded gracefully.<br /> <br /> "Mrs. Flores, may I know what you do for a living? I'm preparing a movie and still haven't found the right female lead. Mrs. Flores, are you interested in it?" said Cordell.<br /> <br /> When she heard that, Shania's expression changed drastically. 'I'm talking to Mr. Bowman just for the leading actress of this movie. What makes Jessie Whitney think she can be the female lead?' she cursed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Before Jessie could even speak, Elliot casually said beside her, "She's not interested."<br /> <br /> There was a hint of pity in Cordell's expression as he replied awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Flores. I was a bit abrupt."<br /> <br /> Jessie didn't say anything, but after following Elliot out, she finally spoke up. "What? Are you afraid I'll enter the entertainment industry and steal resources from Shania Horne? It seems like you really like her a lot."<br /> <br /> Shania had only been in the film company for a few years but always had the best resources.<br /> <br /> Without Elliot's contributions, it was unlikely that she would achieve it.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Elliot coldly chuckled. "It's none of your business about who I like, but you should know I will never like you."<br /> <br /> Jessie's expression turned somewhat gloomy. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 The Poison<br /> Shania was staring at Jessie's back from behind, her nails digging deeply into the palm of her hand.<br /> <br /> She and Jessie grew up together in the orphanage, but from the director to the classmates, they all only liked Jessie.<br /> <br /> Finally, she became the missing young lady of the wealthy Horne family.<br /> <br /> She thought she could finally tramp on Jessie, but to her dismay, the man she had her eye on became Jessie's husband.<br /> <br /> Jealousy drowned out Shania's gaze. 'Elliot should have been mine from the start. I won't give up!' she thought.<br /> <br /> When Jessie came out of the bathroom, she saw Mario talking to an elderly man of similar age, with Shania standing next to him.<br /> <br /> "Jessie, come over here. This is Shania's grandpa and also my friend," said Mario.<br /> <br /> Jessie immediately greeted, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Horne."<br /> <br /> Looking at her face, Lewis Horne paused for a moment before coming back to his senses. "Ah, hello."<br /> <br /> After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mario left with Jessie.<br /> <br /> However, Lewis couldn't take his eyes off Jessie's back. "This girl looks so much like your mom when she was young!"<br /> <br /> Shania panicked, but she soon regained her composure.<br /> <br /> She chuckled and said, "Grandpa, you must be kidding. There are so many people in this world who look alike. It's just a coincidence."<br /> <br /> The Horne family's daughter went missing when she was little, and when her parents found out, they rushed back and got into a car accident on their way. Both died.<br /> <br /> Thinking about this, Lewis couldn't help but pat Shania's hand and said, "You've been through a lot over these years."<br /> <br /> Shania didn't say anything but just hung her head low with a look of total despair.<br /> <br /> The banquet went on. After cutting the cake, Jessie realized it had been a long time since she had last seen Elliot.<br /> <br /> "Have you seen Elliot anywhere?" she grabbed a servant and asked.<br /> <br /> That servant pointed upstairs and said, "I just saw Miss Horne helping Mr. Elliot upstairs."<br /> <br /> Jessie's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran upstairs.<br /> <br /> In the room came Shania's voice. "Elliot, are you feeling unwell? What's wrong? Do you need my help?"<br /> <br /> Jessie felt fortunate to arrive in time. She kicked the door open neatly.<br /> <br /> The whole room was a mess. Elliot was curled up on the floor, looking really uncomfortable, like he was trying hard to hold on.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Shania was taking off her clothes. When she heard the noise at the door, she got a shock and hurriedly put her clothes back on. "Jessie, how did you get here?"<br /> <br /> "What? You don't want me to come so you can do something?" asked Jessie.<br /> <br /> Shania's expression changed abruptly. "Elliot brought me up here, Jessie. Elliot likes me. If it weren't for Mario, he wouldn't have married you!"<br /> <br /> "Get out of here!" Elliot angrily shouted.<br /> <br /> Jessie squinted her eyes and spoke with a touch of sharpness. "Shania Horne, if you don't leave now, I swear I'll call someone up here to see how you, a high-profile star from a wealthy family, are seducing my husband and trying to be a mistress!"<br /> <br /> "How dare you!" A hint of resentment flashed Shania's face. 'I'm not a mistress!' she said inwardly. But among too many guests, it was really embarrassing to make a scene. She gritted her teeth and ultimately left unwillingly.<br /> <br /> After she left, Jessie hurried over and asked, "What's the matter with you?"<br /> <br /> She had just touched Elliot's forehead when Elliot immediately pushed her away.<br /> <br /> "Get lost!" cursed Elliot.<br /> <br /> His whole body was burning hot. He just felt uncomfortable all over, like millions of ants were eating him alive.<br /> <br /> He swept off the stuff on the table again, making a loud bang.<br /> <br /> Jessie was totally freaked out. She thought Elliot had been drugged by Shania, but now it didn't seem like it.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she remembered Mario's words. "Elliot got kidnapped when he was fifteen, and although he came back alive, the kidnappers poisoned him. For many years, I've been searching for a cure and taking him to various doctors, but no medicine can cure him. Every 15th of the month, his condition flares up. Jessie, the doctor said he might not live past 25, so I found a master to do some fortune telling, and he said you are the lucky star in his destiny. I only have one grandson, and I've watched you grow up. I know it's not fair to you, but I hope you can marry him and stay by his side."<br /> <br /> Jessie could be sure that the poison in Elliot's body was acting up. 'But today is not the 15th. It's the alcohol! The alcohol has triggered the detox in advance,' she said inwardly.<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Contraceptives<br /> "Ouch!" Elliot was holding Jessie's arm tightly, piercing pain shooting through him.<br /> <br /> Jessie was startled and asked, "Elliot, calm down and tell me what the situation is right now. Where does it hurt the most?"<br /> <br /> Elliot seemed not to have heard her at all. Before she could react, Jessie's lips were suddenly blocked.<br /> <br /> Elliot's kisses came pouring down like a thunderstorm. He grabbed Jessie's head, their lips and teeth entwined and mixed with a hint of alcohol.<br /> <br /> Jessie froze in place and pushed Elliot away after realizing what had happened.<br /> <br /> She vaguely realized what poison it was and was about to stand up to leave.<br /> <br /> The next second, Elliot tightly grabbed her wrist, and his fiery gaze seemed to be looking at his prey.<br /> <br /> "Elliot, just calm down!" shouted Jessie.<br /> <br /> It seemed as if Elliot had lost all rationality as he pinned Jessie against the wall and tore at her dress.<br /> <br /> Looking at the man in front of her, who was clearly out of it, Jessie just couldn't bring herself to push him away again.<br /> <br /> When she woke up the next morning, she felt so sore all over, like her limbs had all fallen apart.<br /> <br /> She turned her head and saw that Elliot wasn't in bed. The sound of rushing water was coming from the bathroom.<br /> <br /> Thinking about last night's craziness, she couldn't help but blush a little.<br /> <br /> "Jessie, I really underestimated you! I can't believe you would scheme against me like this." Elliot had walked out of the bathroom somewhen. He was wearing a bathrobe, and the anger in his eyes looked like it could burn people alive.<br /> <br /> Hearing that, Jessie smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, "Elliot, I scheme against you? Who kissed me, and who slept with me last night? You're the one who wouldn't let me leave! Clearly, I'm the one who got the short end of the stick."<br /> <br /> "Didn't you already plan out what was going to happen next when you entered this room last night?" In Elliot's eyes, Jessie deliberately planned this.<br /> <br /> He sneered and looked at Jessie in front of him. "Don't even think that these low-down methods will make me like you. Dream on!"<br /> <br /> With that, he turned around and left.<br /> <br /> Jessie was so angry that her heart ached. If she had known before, she would have left even if she had to jump from the building last night.<br /> <br /> After breakfast at the old mansion, the two left directly. The whole way was quiet.<br /> <br /> As they were about to reach the villa, Jessie finally spoke up. "Elliot, the poison on your body..."<br /> <br /> Before she could finish, Elliot's eyes darkened. "Jessie, what do you know?"<br /> <br /> "Before we got married, Mario already told me about it. I'm a doctor. If it's okay with you, I'd like to draw some blood to see if there's any way to help," answered Jessie.<br /> <br /> As soon as she finished, Elliot's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm. "My business is none of your concern. Whatever your purpose is for marrying into the Flores family, if this matter gets out, you can forget about staying in the Flores family."<br /> <br /> Elliot had been searching for a cure through countless doctors. 'Jessie is a mere surgeon. She thinks she can cure me? That's just wishful thinking,' said Elliot inwardly.<br /> <br /> The corner of Jessie's mouth twitched as she thought, 'Who does he think he is looking down on?'<br /> <br /> She looked out the window and pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak and just picked up her phone to send a message.<br /> <br /> When the car reached downtown, Elliot asked the driver to stop at a drugstore.<br /> <br /> Jessie could vaguely guess what he was going to do, and sure enough, Elliot ordered, "Buy a box of contraceptives."<br /> <br /> The driver paused shortly and quickly responded, "Yes, sir."<br /> <br /> Jessie lowered her gaze, sniffed her slightly congested nose, and forced herself to calm down. 'It seems like he really has no feelings for me at all.'<br /> <br /> The driver came back so fast. Jessie took the medicine and gulped it down.<br /> <br /> The bitter medicine spread in her mouth as if reflecting her heart.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Shania Got Kidnapped<br /> They arrived at the hospital, and Elliot didn't leave immediately.<br /> <br /> Jessie had a feeling that this hospital was under the Flores Group, and the doctor who received Elliot was also from this hospital.<br /> <br /> They walked into the elevator, with the head of the surgical department, Felix Rollins, following behind.<br /> <br /> Felix didn't even know Elliot. When seeing Jessie and Elliot acting so polite to each other, he just thought they were strangers.<br /> <br /> Felix was also young and handsome. With a smile, he said, "Hey, Dr. Whitney, have you had breakfast? I brought an extra one for you just now."<br /> <br /> "Thanks, Dr. Rollins. I already had breakfast," replied Jessie.<br /> <br /> The two continued chatting about the patients and work stuff. When the elevator door opened, Jessie left with Felix without even saying goodbye to Elliot.<br /> <br /> Seeing his wife chatting and laughing with someone else, Elliot couldn't help but turn a bit gloomy.<br /> <br /> When he arrived at the fifth-floor office, Dr. Raul Smith, who had been treating Elliot for years, said jokingly, "Ugh... my assistant said he saw you walking in with Dr. Whitney from our hospital earlier. How did you two end up together?"<br /> <br /> With that, Raul seemed to remember something and looked surprised. "Wait a minute! I heard this morning that your new wife is a doctor. Could it be Jessie Whitney?"<br /> <br /> Elliot remained silent while Raul interpreted his silence as a yes. "Elliot, you are really something! You don't even know how popular Jessie is at the hospital. Doctors from all departments are always asking her out for dinners!"<br /> <br /> "Shut up," Elliot said with a cold tone, feeling extremely annoyed at the thought of Jessie. "I need to talk to you about something important. My poison flared up last night."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, Raul became serious. "No way! It wasn't the 15th last night. Oh, by the way, I was just thinking about calling you because I heard some news. Mr. Roland Ayers took on a disciple named Dr. Ghost a few years ago. Maybe he can cure your poison."<br /> <br /> Roland used to be a world-renowned miracle doctor. Rumor had it he could bring people back from the dead. But this guy had passed away. It had only been recently known that he had a disciple.<br /> <br /> Elliot squinted slightly and said in a low voice, "Figure out a way to contact this Dr. Ghost as soon as possible."<br /> <br /> "We are already on it," answered Raul.<br /> <br /> At this moment, the phone in Elliot's pocket started ringing. It was his assistant calling.<br /> <br /> Elliot picked up the phone. It was unknown what his assistant said, but his expression suddenly changed. "I'll be right over."<br /> <br /> With that, he hurriedly left the office.<br /> <br /> Jessie just got some meds in the lobby and was about to head back to the office when she bumped into Elliot, who was rushing out in a hurry.<br /> <br /> As they looked into each other's eyes, Elliot straight up grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me."<br /> <br /> Jessie raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in a puzzled tone, "What's wrong?"<br /> <br /> Elliot didn't say anything and just pulled her into the car.<br /> <br /> The car was speeding along the road, going really fast. It looked like there was something urgent.<br /> <br /> Jessie was even more confused. "Elliot, why did you bring me out here so urgently? What's going on?"<br /> <br /> "Shania got kidnapped," replied Elliot.<br /> <br /> The kidnapper was a manager from Elliot's company, Shawn Ferguson. After getting caught for tax evasion and all sorts of shady stuff a few days ago, he got fired and had to compensate the Flores Group a ton of money.<br /> <br /> Shawn was in a desperate situation and was unable to reach Elliot. After seeing the scandal between Elliot and Shania, he kidnapped Shania directly.<br /> <br /> 'Looks like Elliot really likes that woman, huh?' wondered Jessie.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Saving The Love Rival<br /> The car drove to an abandoned factory on the outskirts. During the drive, Jessie had already found out that Shania had been injured in the kidnapping.<br /> <br /> This was why Elliot took her out of the hospital.<br /> <br /> "Elliot, where's my money? Are you trying to fool me? Believe me! I'll kill that woman inside right away!" roared Shawn.<br /> <br /> Elliot's eyes looked gloomy, his voice cold. "My assistant is already preparing the money. It's impossible to gather 20 million dollars in cash in a short time. Shawn, I've brought a doctor. Let her check Shania's injuries first. Otherwise, you won't get a single penny if something happens to Shania."<br /> <br /> Shawn took a quick look at Jessie, who was wearing a white coat, thinking, 'She's just a woman. No harm in taking a look.' "Fine," he replied.<br /> <br /> Jessie thought it was pretty funny that Elliot actually brought her to save her love rival, wondering if Elliot was generous or simply didn't care.<br /> <br /> After giving it some thought, Elliot spoke up. "There's a first aid kit in the car. You just need to take care of Shania's wounds, and then you can leave. Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."<br /> <br /> Jessie pursed her lips, grabbed the first aid kit, and went over. After being searched by Shawn's men guarding the door, she was finally allowed to enter.<br /> <br /> Shawn held a gun in his hand and said with a warning tone, "Doctor, I advise you not to play any tricks."<br /> <br /> "Sir, I am just a weak woman. You can rest assured that I will leave as soon as she is treated." At the moment, Jessie could only compromise.<br /> <br /> Shawn gave a cold snort and didn't say anything else.<br /> <br /> Shania's wound was deep, but it was not fatal. After dealing with it, Jessie was ready to leave.<br /> <br /> However, the cloth in Shania's mouth fell off at this moment, and she immediately yelled, "Sir, I'm just an artist under Elliot's company. She's Elliot's wife. Kidnapping her is more useful."<br /> <br /> Jessie's expression changed drastically when she heard this. 'What a bastard are you! Shania!' she cursed inside.<br /> <br /> "Bullshit! You think you can fool me?" Shawn was obviously doubtful.<br /> <br /> "I didn't lie to you. She is indeed Elliot's wife. If you don't believe me, just check on your phone and you'll see. She was the one who attended Mario's birthday banquet with Elliot last night. Kidnapping me won't work. Elliot won't give you any money," Shania lied.<br /> <br /> Shania was not dumb, knowing Shawn was a cunning guy. Once he got the money, he probably wouldn't let go of her. The longer she stayed here, the more dangerous she got.<br /> <br /> Shawn was lost in thought, about to take out his phone to check. But Jessie spoke up directly. "No need to check. I'm Elliot's wife. Let her go. I'll be the hostage."<br /> <br /> After checking, Shawn did see the pictures from last night's banquet. He readily let Shania go. After all, kidnapping Elliot's wife was truly more valuable and could ensure a better chance of success.<br /> <br /> The rope was untied from Shania and tied onto Jessie. Shawn was holding a gun and never let his guard down.<br /> <br /> After Shania left, Shawn grinned at Jessie and warned in a sinister tone, "Little girl, if you want to blame someone, blame Elliot Flores. He made me bankrupt, and now my wife is running off with someone else. He can forget about having a wife, too."<br /> <br /> Jessie's lips twitched when she heard this. 'What's wrong with this guy? His wife ran away with another man, so what does it have to do with Elliot?' she wondered.<br /> <br /> Jessie was not panicked. She smiled and said to Shawn, "Do you think Elliot will still pay up if I'm the hostage?"<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?" Shawn's heart skipped a beat.<br /> <br /> "It's nothing." Jessie shrugged, thinking, 'Elliot would probably be more than happy if I were dead, given his disdain toward me.'<br /> <br /> Shawn felt something was off about Jessie, but he didn't think too much of it. 'After all, Jessie was just a woman. What kind of tricks can she pull off?'<br /> <br /> Half an hour later, the Flores Group's men had 20 million dollars in cash ready.<br /> <br /> The kidnappers demanded that Elliot enter the room alone with the money. While Elliot watched the bound Jessie, there was a gloomy and complex expression in his eyes.<br /> <br /> The henchmen counted the cash, and Shawn laughed heartily. "Elliot, now that the hostage has been changed to your wife, I'm afraid that 20 million dollars is not enough. I want 100 million dollars!"<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Rumors<br /> "Shawn!" Elliot's voice turned even angrier.<br /> <br /> "Oh? Mr. Flores, you are not going to agree? Then I'll kill your wife right now!" threatened Shawn.<br /> <br /> Seeing the gun pointed at Jessie's head, Elliot said in a restrained voice, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Jessie raised the corner of her mouth, feeling a bit unexpected.<br /> <br /> However, upon further consideration, she thought it was reasonable. 'I am indeed his nominal wife. Even if unwilling, he could not leave this responsibility behind.'<br /> <br /> Elliot met eyes with Jessie, wondering, 'Is this woman scared dumb? The gun's right against her head, and she's still cracking a smile?'<br /> <br /> A smile flashed in Jessie's eyes before her gaze turned freezing cold.<br /> <br /> She gave Elliot a look, then suddenly stood up and kicked Shawn's hand.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" With a cry of despair, the gun fell from Shawn's hand to the ground.<br /> <br /> Elliot quickly reacted. With a swift turn, he kicked Shawn's henchman to the ground and promptly picked up the gun from the ground.<br /> <br /> Seeing the money slip through his fingers, Shawn suddenly summoned his strength, grabbed a knife, and stabbed toward Jessie.<br /> <br /> "Bam!" The gun went off, and Shawn fell to the ground with a pair of angry, resentful eyes wide open.<br /> <br /> Elliot's men quickly rushed in and subdued Shawn.<br /> <br /> "Aren't you afraid?" asked Elliot with a deep voice. Today's Jessie really made him feel different. 'Faced with the scene just now, other women would have been scared, but she...' As he thought about it, there was a hint of depth in Elliot's gaze.<br /> <br /> Jessie hesitated for a moment before answering, "Doctors like us often see all kinds of dead bodies. There's nothing to be afraid of."<br /> <br /> "Oh really? You've got some good fighting skills. You fight pretty well," praised Elliot.<br /> <br /> Although Jessie didn't really go all out just now, Elliot could still tell from her moves that most people probably couldn't beat this woman.<br /> <br /> 'I learned it abroad for self-defense," replied Jessie.<br /> <br /> With that, the two had already left the abandoned factory. Shania was still waiting in the car. "Elliot, are you okay? I just heard a gunshot coming from inside. It scared the heck out of me!"<br /> <br /> "I'm fine. Let's get in the car and head back," said Elliot.<br /> <br /> After getting in the car, Shania finally turned to look at Jessie. Although she was full of disgust in her heart, she still said hypocritically, "Jessie, thank you. If it weren't for you willing to exchange hostages for me, I couldn't have come out alive."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Jessie couldn't help but laugh. "Huh? I'm willing? Wasn't it you who told Shawn there was a better chance by kidnapping Elliot's wife?"<br /> <br /> Shania's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly explained, "No, Elliot, I didn't."<br /> <br /> Elliot's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't respond to Shania directly but simply said, "I'll have someone take care of those rumors. Make sure to have more bodyguards with you when filming and traveling in the future."<br /> <br /> It was actually a misunderstanding that day. He heard Shania had an accident on set, so he rushed over. Unfortunately, he was caught entering the hotel by reporters, so now there was a rumored relationship.<br /> <br /> Jessie was leaning back in the car seat with a playful look in her eyes, thinking, 'Rumors? huh!"<br /> <br /> After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Jessie didn't want to see the lovey-dovey couple, so she got out of the car first. When she arrived at the surgical room, she saw Felix running over in a hurry.<br /> <br /> "Dr. Whitney, where did you go? I've been looking for you for ages, and I couldn't reach you on your phone," said Felix urgently.<br /> <br /> "There was a kidnapping in the outskirts. I went over to rescue the hostage," replied Jessie.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, Felix became worried immediately. "Huh? Kidnapping? Are you okay? Let me have a check."<br /> <br /> Jessie smiled and said, "I'm okay."<br /> <br /> As soon as she finished, Felix noticed the bruise on her wrist. "You consider this okay? You're too reckless. I'll get some medicine for you."<br /> <br /> Behind her, Elliot followed along. Looking at Jessie's chatty and cheerful demeanor, he only felt annoyed instinctively.<br /> <br /> Chapter 9 Dr. Ghost<br /> Shania's wound was still being handled by Jessie. After her wound was bandaged, Shania said pitifully, "Elliot, I don't know when this leg injury will heal. I'm worried about scarring. Jessie is a doctor. Can I stay at your place and let her take care of me?"<br /> <br /> Jessie was disgusted by Shania's tone and straight up refused, "No."<br /> <br /> However, Elliot chimed in immediately, "Sure." With that, he glanced at Jessie and said, "You don't need to come to the hospital for the next few days. Stay at home and take care of Shania."<br /> <br /> Finishing, he left the consulting room directly.<br /> <br /> Jessie was feeling frustrated and cursed inwardly, 'You're simply inhuman, Elliot!'<br /> <br /> "Jessie, sorry for the inconvenience," Shania said with a big smile, looking victorious.<br /> <br /> Jessie had a poker face as she casually pulled out a syringe from the cabinet and shook the liquid inside.<br /> <br /> "What's this?" Shania's heart skipped a beat, and she shrunk back in fear.<br /> <br /> "You said you were most afraid of leaving scars on your legs, right? This is the potion that can make your scar last a lifetime. Plus, I have to take good care of you, right?" Jessie emphasized the words "take good care of" particularly strongly.<br /> <br /> "Jessie, don't even think about it. We are at a hospital. If something happens to me, Elliot will definitely not let you off the hook," said Shania a little tremblingly.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Jessie laughed even brighter. "Now that I'm Mrs. Flores, why would I care about a doctor's position? As for you, Shania, I've put up with you for too long."<br /> <br /> As Jessie got closer and closer to her, Shania screamed and wheeled out in her wheelchair.<br /> <br /> Looking at her embarrassed appearance as she fled, Jessie chuckled and said inwardly, 'What an idiot!'<br /> <br /> After finishing her work, Jessie left the hospital. Her phone started ringing at this time. It was a text message, reading, [Jessie, Raul contacted us. He offered a price of 100 million dollars to invite you to save someone.]<br /> <br /> [Okay,] Jessie replied.<br /> <br /> Raul was Elliot's personal doctor.<br /> <br /> 'Since he didn't trust me, this was the only way,' Jessie thought. It was late at night. She finally arrived at the hospital at the agreed time.<br /> <br /> She was now wearing a gray leisure outfit, with a cap and face mask, looking like a handsome young boy.<br /> <br /> On the way, the nurse from the same department didn't recognize that the person was Jessie.<br /> <br /> She finally arrived at Raul's office, where Elliot and Raul were already waiting inside.<br /> <br /> "Are you Dr. Ghost?" Raul eyed the person in front of him with a hint of curiosity. 'This person looks like he is in his early twenties, so young. Could he be an imposter?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Not only Raul but also Elliot had a look of scrutiny in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Jessie was all prepared and pulled out the emerald pendant that Roland always wore when he was alive to prove her identity.<br /> <br /> Even though Raul had never seen Roland, he recognized this thing and immediately exclaimed, "You are indeed Dr. Ghost! Forgive my rudeness."<br /> <br /> Without further ado, Jessie got straight to the point. "How's the patient?"<br /> <br /> Raul gave Elliot a look and waited for him to nod before speaking slowly. "His poison was administered five years ago. It flares up on the 15th of every month. But it flared up a few days early this month, and... It seems that women can alleviate the pain of the poison. I've researched for years and still can't figure out what this poison is. Dr. Ghost, if you can cure this poison, I'll give you not just 100 million dollars but as much money as you want."<br /> <br /> Jessie nodded and lowered her voice, saying, "Sure, I want first to draw a little bit of Mr. Flores's blood to do some research."<br /> <br /> Raul and Elliot didn't refuse. When Jessie drew his blood, she was very close to Elliot.<br /> <br /> Amid the haze, Elliot could only faintly smell a familiar scent lingering around his nose.

Give me your daughter, and I'll consider your debt paid in full. You will not have to make any more payments to us, and you can continue with your lives."<br /> “And if I don't?"<br /> I let out a deep breath. “Then, I'll kill you right here and now. Maybe I'll kill your entire family. Of I'll kill you, your wife, and son and will take your daughter anyway. It's your choice."<br /> “No, don't!" the woman yelled. “This is my family!"<br /> Gage was suddenly calm, his eyes filled with resolve. “If I do this, then we're square?"<br /> “Dad, no!" The woman's eyes shot daggers at me. “I'm not going anywhere with you!"<br /> 'Oh, but you are,' I thought to myself as a sly smile curled my lips.<br /> “No, you can't take her!" her mother yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. “She's pregnant!"<br /> ————————<br /> Lycia<br /> I pulled into the parking lot of Supernova, and the music was already blaring. As soon as I got out of my car, I clicked the automatic door lock on my keychain and headed toward the front door of the club. Tonight, I was going to have fun. I was tired of playing it safe and tired of my Pack ridiculing me. I was ready to cut loose and live on the wild side for a change and maybe even do something a little dangerous. I was keeping my options open.<br /> The sound of glasses clinking resonated from the bar to the right, and people were talking to each other, yelling over the loud music. After fishing my ID out of my purse, I stepped up to the bouncer at the front door when it was my turn.<br /> One of his eyebrows rose, giving me a hot smile as he quickly looked over my ID and handed it back to me. “Have fun tonight." He winked as he stamped my hand.<br /> I walked on, smiling as a thrill ran through my body, glad to see that my dress was working.<br /> All eyes were on me as I passed the first bar and headed toward the second bar to the left. It was quieter, and not as many people were there. I sat on one of the barstools and smiled at the bartender.<br /> “So, what'll you have tonight?" he asked, placing his hand on the bar as he turned sideways.<br /> “A frozen Mango Margarita and a shot of Amaretto, please." I laid my purse on my lap, not wanting to leave it where it could easily be taken.<br /> As I sipped the shot, I scented another wolf nearby. Humans came here along with wolf-shifters. I looked up, and there he was, sitting right across from me, drinking a spirits.<br /> He held up his spirits as he smiled and took a drink. He had dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and was heavily muscled. All wolves had blue eyes, so that was no surprise, but he seemed to look right through me. I downed the rest of the shot.<br /> “Would you like to dance?" I looked across the bar at him as I set the shot glass on the counter and motioned for another. The bartender nodded.<br /> “Yes, I would," the handsome wolf across from me replied. He left his spirits sitting on the bar and stood, rising to his full height... and he was huge. He had to be six foot five or something, nearly a whole foot taller than me. I was tall for a woman—five foot, six inches—but he dwarfed me. He held out his big hand, and electricity coursed through my body as I took it.<br /> He led me onto the dance floor and slipped one arm around my waist as I laid my arm on his shoulder. He held my other hand and brought it to his chest, looking into my eyes.<br /> The song came to an end, and I stepped away. “Well, thank you for the dance—"<br /> “Would you honor me with another dance?" he asked, a beautiful hot smile curling his lips.<br /> “Sure, why not?"<br /> But this time, he pulled me close, and my breasts pushed against his chest as he slid his strong arms around my waist, leaving me no choice but to slide my hands to his upper arms. Muscles bulged beneath his thin, muted-green sweater, causing my heart to pound as he stared into my eyes.<br /> He leaned close, his eyes never leaving mine, as if trying to read my mind, but I was sure he couldn't. He was just that intense.<br /> Unable to take any more, I laid my head on his chest and swayed with him to the music, feeling safe in his arms, despite his warning.<br /> He leaned his head against mine. “What Pack do you belong to?" he asked, his voice merely a whisper, too low for humans to hear.<br /> “No names. No identifying features. Not tonight." I looked into his eyes. “Let's just enjoy ourselves."<br /> He shrugged. “As you wish."<br /> Suddenly, a hot Latin song came on, and, to my surprise, he led me along the dance floor in a perfect West Coast Swing. The way he moved his hips to the music and spun me around was nothing short of magical. When the song came to an end, another came on, and we kept dancing. He was so good on the dance floor, I couldn't help but wonder what he would be like in bed.<br /> But I quickly pushed the thought from my mind as we danced. After all, I had never been with a man before. Then again, I had wanted to live on the wild side and see how the other half lived for once. A part of me felt like being reckless. I chuckled to myself. This poor man didn't know what he was getting himself into. He had probably come here for a drink and to have a little fun. I was sure he wasn't here to find a Mate.<br /> All too soon, the song ended, and he pecked my hand and led me off the floor. My heart sank, thinking that was going to be the end of our story. But then, he surprised me when he asked, “So, do you mind if I get my spirits and sit with you?"<br /> I chuckled, shaking my head as his smile faded. “No. I don't mind at all. I'd love it."<br /> His smile quickly reappeared. “I'll be right back." He went to the other side of the bar.<br /> In the few moments that he was gone, another man approached. “Mind if I sit down, lovely?"<br /> “Yes, she minds," a gruff, powerful voice said beside me. I looked up and smiled, for it was my mystery man, having come back to claim me. Or, at least, that was how I saw it.<br /> ---<br /> Logan<br /> “Oh... yeah... sorry, man," the man stammered, taking a step back. “I didn't know she was with anyone."<br /> The poor jerk darted away before I could ask him if he saw us dancing together. But technically, he was right. We weren't together. Well, not permanently, anyway. But for tonight, she was mine. My wolf growled his satisfaction deep within my chest. He wanted to claim her wolf as his right then, which was rare. In fact, he had never wanted to claim another wolf before now. But there was a first time for everything.<br /> “So, do you live around here, or are you from out of town?" I took a sip of my spirits, curious. I found that the more time I spent with her, the more I wanted to know. Even though she had suggested we stay anonymous, it was a simple enough question that I didn't think she would object.<br /> She sighed, brushing a strand of her long blonde hair over her shoulder. Actually, it was dark blonde with subtle streaks that fell over her shoulders like water into beautiful waves.<br /> “I'm from here." She poured the rest of her shot into her Margharita, stirred it up, and took a sip.<br /> So, she was a part of either the Shadowcrest Warriors Pack or the Crystal Grove Pack. But I knew for a fact she wasn't a part of my Pack, the Skyclaw Guardians. If she was, I would have seen her by now and would have probably already claimed her. It wouldn't be hard to track her down later, if I really wanted to.<br /> That would be a first. I never went looking for women after one-night stands.<br /> “So, are you from around here?" the gorgeous blonde asked, her eyes a striking blue, contrasting sharply with her hair. She had an incredible figure, a thin waist, and long, luscious legs.<br /> I sighed, enjoying the view more than I should. “Yes, I am." I arched an eyebrow, giving her my sexiest smile. “Would you like to know which Pack I'm from?"<br /> She looked out over the dance floor. “Nope!" she said.<br /> I let out a deep breath as I looked away, knowing I had to get this woman out of my head before I did something I regretted, like carting her off to Las Vegas tonight.<br /> “Would you like to get out of here?" I asked, suddenly serious. If she turned me down, I was going to find the first woman I saw and fck her senseless.<br /> “Yeah." Her voice was soft, suddenly shy. Then my heart sank. She was a virgin, and I didn't do virgins. But coffee wouldn't hurt. I paid our tabs and placed my hand on her back, motioning with my head toward the door. “Come on. Let's go."<br /> Outside, I lifted one shoulder as I took her hand, inhaling the cool night air. Slowly, it started bringing me back to my senses. “Because that's what men do for women." I led her to my Lamborghini Countach and leaned her against it, placing one hand on either side of her, preventing her escape. “You are one gorgeous woman."<br /> A slight blush crept up her cheek, making me want her even more. “You're pretty handsome yourself."<br /> I leaned in as my heart pounded against my ribcage, silently seeking acceptance. Finding it, I crushed my lips to hers, and in that instant, my whole world shifted as I took her into my arms. She opened for me, deepening the peck as she pulled me close to her body, her breasts pushing against my chest as my hard cck pressed against her stomach. There was no mistaking what I wanted.<br /> She tilted her head and crushed her lips to mine again. I pulled back for a moment, lifted the door high into the air, swept her into my arms, and placed her gingerly inside the cab. She leaned back and looked good enough to eat. But there was no way I was going to f*ck her in the parking lot for all to see. I wasn't an animal. Instead, I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers again, running my hand up her leg.<br /> ……<br /> Lycia<br /> I woke with a start the following day, and my mystery man was still asleep next to me as the faint rays of morning sunshine peeked through the clouds. I had to get out of here. I had to get home to shower and go to work before anyone noticed that I hadn't come home last night.<br /> One Month Later...<br /> On my way to work, I vowed to get a pregnancy test on my way home that night. If I was having symptoms, then I was far enough along that would definitely show up on a pregnancy test.<br /> Lately, I had been vomiting in the morning and at the oddest times throughout the day. I thought I had a stomach bug, at first. But now, it all made sense.<br /> “Good morning, Lycia!" Kelly, the owner of the shop, chirped as I walked in. She was a human, but as nice as they come. She was also young to own a beauty salon, only twenty-five.<br /> “Good morning, Kelly." I hurried to put my things away, hoping the nausea would subside soon. This seemed to be the worst day so far.<br /> Kelly crossed the room and sat in the hydraulic chair next to my station. “If you didn't feel well, you shouldn't have come in."<br /> “I'm fine," I lied. I was a single and possibly pregnant wolf. There was nothing fine about it. “I probably just have a stomach bug." Suddenly, another wave of nausea rushed over me, and I darted to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth and vomited the contents of my stomach into the toilet again. It seemed that I shouldn't have anything left to vomit, but my body was telling me differently.<br /> Taria was leaning against the wall outside the bathroom when I came out. “How far along are you?"<br /> “What?" I laughed without humor. “What are you talking about?"<br /> “Lycia, don't play dumb with me." She waved a hand toward me. “Any fool could see that you're pregnant."<br /> “Shush!" I looked around to see if anyone had heard, but no one was in the back. “I don't know for sure yet. But—"<br /> “But you think you are," Taria finished. “I'll tell you what. Let's get a pregnancy test on our lunch break, and you can take it from there."<br /> I closed the door and locked it so I wouldn't be interrupted again. This was the moment of truth. I quickly did what the test said, and then set the plastic stick on the side of the sink and waited.<br /> I closed my eyes, afraid to look, but then slowly opened them. Sure enough, two bright pink lines were clearly visible in the test window. I blinked, unable to believe it, although I already knew it was correct.<br /> I flushed the toilet again, packed everything into the shopping bag, washed my hands, and headed out.<br /> My thoughts went to my mystery man, and I wondered what he would think about it. But I was glad that the baby would just be mine. I never wanted him to feel like he had to marry me just because I was pregnant. It was a moot point now, anyway, because I didn't even know his name. But I could take care of myself. I didn't need a man to take care of me. But now that I was going to have a baby, it wasn't going to be just me anymore, leaving me to wonder what I was going to do.<br /> ---<br /> Logan<br /> I slipped into my black Italian loafers I kept polished for occasions such as these. But before I slipped into my suit coat, I strapped on my shoulder holster, making sure it was loaded. Then I slipped on my suit coat and shoved some loaded magazines in the inside pockets, knowing it was going to be one of those nights. After that, I strapped a knife to my left ankle and another pistol to my right leg, just in case.<br /> Ready, I headed down the stairs, and Siren, Marshall, and two other men were waiting for me in the foyer.<br /> “Are you loaded?"<br /> “Aye!" they all said in unison.<br /> “Are the cars ready?"<br /> Marshall nodded. “We'll go in the limo, and the other men will ride in the Mercedes that will follow us. Also, there's a driver for each car." He was letting me know precisely how many were in our detail, just in case everything went sideways. We didn't want to take down any of our own people by mistake, but that rarely happened.<br /> I nodded once and looked over my Crew. “Remember: No one goes down without my say. Got it?"<br /> “Aye!"<br /> I looked out the window as we drove, wondering where my lady was and what she was doing. I never thought of her with another man. I couldn't bear it. In my mind, she was already my Mate. She didn't know it yet, but she was mine. And when I found her, I was going to make her my wife and my Mate.<br /> We pulled to a stop in front of a single-story house, and we all slid out of the cars. I headed toward the front door with Siren and Marshall hot on my heels. I kicked open the door and a woman screamed, holding up her hands, but I went straight for the man.<br /> “Quick! Is there anyone else in the house?" I fisted his hair, pulling his head back.<br /> “Yes! My son and daughter!" the man shook, holding up his hands. “Please, kill me if you must, but don't kill my wife and children!"<br /> “Call them out here!" I yelled, pointing my pistol at his wife.<br /> “What the heck is going on in here?" a young wolf asked as he stepped into the room. He saw what was going on and lunged toward me, but Marshall quickly pinned him against the wall by the throat, growling.<br /> “Do as we say, and no one has to die!" I yelled in his face and turned to his father. “Now, call your daughter out here!"<br /> “What the heck?"<br /> My head snapped up, and I nearly fainted as my heart pounded in my ears. At that moment, I knew exactly what I was going to do.<br /> Before I could stop her, Siren crossed the room to her and pointed a pistol in her face. But she reared back her hand and slapped Siren across the face as hard as she could. I couldn't help but be in awe of her.<br /> “Get that thing out of my face, and don't point it at me unless you plan on using it!" she yelled.<br /> Siren chuckled, undeterred. “Oh, honey. I plan on using it."<br /> “No!" I yelled. “Siren, don't!"<br /> Her head snapped up as she narrowed her eyes, silently asking why I had used her name. We never used our real names while on the job.<br /> But a job was a job. Time for business.<br /> “Is there anyone else in the house?" I demanded, fisting the man's white hair, yanking back his head. He looked young, despite his white hair.<br /> “No, no one!" he yelled, trembling. “I'm sorry I'm late with your payment, but I don't have the money—"<br /> “Late?" I scoffed. “You're six months behind on your payments! We've warned you and threatened you, but now it's time to pay with your life."<br /> “No, don't!" I looked up, and Siren had a pistol pointed at the woman, and Marshall had her brother against the wall.<br /> I released him and stood. “Then I'll make you a deal."<br /> “What kind of deal?" Gage Owen asked.<br /> “Give me your daughter, and I'll consider your debt paid in full."<br /> “What?" Marshall and Siren yelled in unison, their eyes wide as if I had lost my mind.<br /> “Do you know how much money he owes? What will Fa—" Marshall almost asked.<br /> “I'm making the decisions here," I growled, cutting him off.<br /> He nodded once, leaving the sentence unfinished.<br /> I turned back to Gage. “If you give me your daughter, I'll consider your debt paid in full. You will not have to make any more payments to us, and you can continue with your lives."<br /> “And if I don't?"<br /> I let out a deep breath. “Then, I'll kill you right here and now. Maybe I'll kill your entire family. Of I'll kill you, your wife, and son and will take your daughter anyway. It's your choice."<br /> “No, don't!" the woman yelled. “This is my family!"<br /> Gage was suddenly calm, his eyes filled with resolve. “If I do this, then we're square?"<br /> “Dad, no!" The woman's eyes shot daggers at me. “I'm not going anywhere with you!"<br /> 'Oh, but you are,' I thought to myself as a sly smile curled my lips.<br /> But first things first. “Yes. You have my word." Bile crept up my throat, unable to believe that the man would give his daughter away so freely to pay his debt.<br /> “No, you can't take her!" her mother yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. “She's pregnant!"

This late-night news quickly dominated the trending topics on Twitter.<br /> <br /> Inside a suburban villa, Jessie Whitney looked at the two marriage certificates on the table, her lips curling with a hint of irony.<br /> <br /> Today was the day she and Elliot registered for marriage. However, her husband was with another woman on their wedding night. How ridiculous!<br /> <br /> Her phone rang at this moment, and a picture of Elliot getting water in a hotel room appeared.<br /> <br /> [Jessie, even if you marry Elliot, you are still completely defeated.] The text was sent by Shania and was full of mockery.<br /> <br /> Jessie closed her eyes and casually threw her phone aside, feeling a touch of bitterness in her heart.<br /> <br /> Everyone thought she only married Elliot to repay his kindness, but they didn't know that she already had a crush on him back in college.<br /> <br /> Elliot strongly opposed this marriage, but he had to compromise under pressure from his grandpa.<br /> <br /> So this was how the current situation came about.<br /> <br /> Elliot did not show up for the next three days. In the afternoon, Jessie had just finished a surgery when she received a call from Elliot.<br /> <br /> "It's Grandpa's birthday banquet tonight. I will pick you up in the evening." Before Jessie could even respond, he hung up the phone directly. It was obvious that Elliot greatly despised her.<br /> <br /> Jessie smirked with a hint of sarcasm as she thought inwardly, 'If it weren't for his grandpa Mario Flores, he probably wouldn't even be able to muster a perfunctory response.'<br /> <br /> After work, Jessie returned home. After taking a shower, she chose a low-key yet luxurious light blue dress. Just as she had taken off her bathrobe, the door to the room was pushed open.<br /> <br /> It was Elliot. He was wearing a black suit, and his handsome face seemed to have been meticulously carved by God, perfect and flawless.<br /> <br /> His gaze briefly swept across Jessie's chest before he quickly looked away.<br /> <br /> "Mr. Flores, you don't even knock before entering the room?" Even though Elliot was her husband, Jessie still felt a bit embarrassed. She quickly wrapped the towel around herself, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.<br /> <br /> Elliot mocked, "Do I have to knock on the door to enter my own room? You're really calculated, Jessie Whitney. Even if you stripped naked in front of me, I wouldn't feel anything for you. "<br /> <br /> 'Calculated? Elliot thought I deliberately tried to seduce him?' Jessie only felt it ridiculous, asking, "So I am such a person to you?"<br /> <br /> "Are you not?" Initially, Elliot didn't think that Jessie had any ulterior motives. However, such a simple and harmless woman actually convinced his grandpa he had to marry her.<br /> <br /> From that moment on, he had an indescribable sense of disgust toward her.<br /> <br /> He hated the feeling of being controlled by others.<br /> <br /> "Believe what you want." Jessie didn't bother to explain further. She just changed her clothes, put on some lipstick, and got into the car with Elliot.<br /> <br /> Today was Mario's 80th birthday celebration. He invited all the high society celebrities.<br /> <br /> People in the business world basically all knew that Elliot got married a few days ago.<br /> <br /> Regarding the recent rumors about Elliot, it was widely assumed that his rumored wife would likely be Shania Horne, the daughter of the Horne family, given the long-standing relationship between the Flores and Horne families.<br /> <br /> As a result, everyone was stunned when Jessie and Elliot got out of the car together.<br /> <br /> Jessie had flawless skin and delicate features without a trace of makeup. The light blue dress seemed to be tailored for her.<br /> <br /> Her every move seemed like that of a heavenly fairy, so stunningly beautiful that she took the onlooker's breath away. When she stood next to Elliot, they appeared to be a perfectly matched couple.<br /> <br /> "Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful," said one guest.<br /> <br /> "Wow, she looks really unfamiliar. I've never seen her before," added another one.<br /> <br /> "That dress she's wearing must be the latest style from Karen. Who is this girl?" a third one chimed in.<br /> <br /> "I think I've seen her before... Oh, I remember now, she's the doctor from Hulio Hospital! I met her a few days ago for a check-up."<br /> <br /> 'The Flores family's new bride is actually a doctor?' the onsite guests couldn't help wondering.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 The Fake Painting<br /> Hearing the people around gossiping, Elliot's mother, Kelly, was getting somewhat displeased as she welcomed the guests at the gate.<br /> <br /> Elliot's younger sister, Linda, disdainfully said, "I don't know what Grandpa was thinking. There are so many wealthy heiresses pursuing my brother, yet he insists on Elliot marrying this shameful orphan."<br /> <br /> As Jessie and Elliot approached, Kelly immediately pulled Jessie aside and warned in a stern tone, "Pay attention to your every move. Don't embarrass the Flores family at the banquet."<br /> <br /> Jessie's eyes flickered slightly as she replied softly, "I see, Kelly."<br /> <br /> Elliot listened to the conversation of the two nearby without giving any reaction.<br /> <br /> At that moment, Linda exclaimed in surprise, "Shania, you're here!"<br /> <br /> Shania walked over slowly, smiling and greeting the Flores family members, "Yeah, nice to meet you, Mrs. Flores."<br /> <br /> However, when her eyes fell on Jessie, her smiling face suddenly froze.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, both of them were wearing light blue dresses today. However, Jessie was actually wearing the latest design from the mysterious fashion designer Karen, which Shania had tried every means but failed to have. In comparison, her outfit was obviously somewhat inferior.<br /> <br /> A hint of gloom flickered in Shania's eyes but quickly disappeared.<br /> <br /> Jessie followed quietly with the group into the hall. Mario greeted her with a kindly smile and then pulled her aside.<br /> <br /> "Happy birthday, Grandpa," said Jessie first.<br /> <br /> "Thanks, Jessie." Mario looked very pleased and asked with a smile, "How have these days been? Has Elliot been good to you? If that little punk bullies you, remember to tell me. I will take care of him for you."<br /> <br /> Jessie gave a slight smile and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. He didn't."<br /> <br /> Seeing how Mario treated Jessie, Shania squeezed her fingers and felt very jealous. Nevertheless, she still maintained a bright smile and said, "Happy birthday, Mr. Flores. This is my gift to you. I hope you like it."<br /> <br /> Shania's assistant presented a box, and Mario opened it with a smile. The gift was a landscape painting.<br /> <br /> "Is this the masterpiece of Mr. Thornton?" Kelly spoke up.<br /> <br /> As was well known, Mario had a great passion for collecting paintings.<br /> <br /> The renowned painter Ariel Thornton had now put down his brush. His works were extremely rare and valuable. Even with unlimited wealth, it was very difficult to obtain his works.<br /> <br /> "Shania, you are so thoughtful. I really like it!" Mario was all smiles. It was clear that he liked the gift.<br /> <br /> "I'm glad you like it, Mr. Flores." With that, Shania turned to Jessie and casually asked, "Jessie, I wonder what gift you have prepared for Mr. Flores. I also want to have a look."<br /> <br /> In order to please Mario, Shania really went all out to get this painting. She believed that Jessie's gift was definitely no match for hers.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Jessie looked up at Shania's slightly provocative eyes. She smirked and nonchalantly took out the gift she had prepared. It was also a painting.<br /> <br /> Shania's eyes brightened with a smile. "What a coincidence! Jessie, you also prepared a painting!"<br /> <br /> 'But whose paintings can compare to that of Ariel Thornton? Jessie, you will ultimately be trampled under my feet. Just wait to be humiliated!' said Shania inwardly.<br /> <br /> Mario's eyes immediately froze as he opened the painting.<br /> <br /> The guests looked at it. The painting was exactly the same as the one Shania had given to Mario.<br /> <br /> Between two identical paintings, one of them must be a fake.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 I Will Never Like You<br /> "Jessie, Mario has been so good to you. How dare you fool him with a fake painting!" Kelly's expression changed immediately, and she accused Jessie directly.<br /> <br /> 'Shania Horne is the beloved daughter of the Horne family. There's no way she would send a fake painting. Instead, this Jessie Whitney is a low-class doctor...' said the guests inwardly.<br /> <br /> The people around started to look at Jessie with disdain, like they were watching a joke.<br /> <br /> Jessie didn't pay any mind to those stares, instead looking right at Elliot.<br /> <br /> Elliot stared at the painting and casually said, "It's real."<br /> <br /> His words had always been very persuasive. Shania's expression suddenly changed when she heard it. "No way, this painting was bought at an auction. How could it be fake?"<br /> <br /> Hearing it, everyone burst into laughter, thinking, 'It is known that Ariel's paintings are not to be auctioned. This old man sells his paintings on a whim. He just sells to whoever he likes. Does Shania not even know this insider information?'<br /> <br /> When Mario unfolded the two paintings together, it was obvious to see that Shania's painting was fake.<br /> <br /> The guests around carefully observed them and noticed the numerous flaws in the counterfeit.<br /> <br /> Mario looked a little unpleasant and handed the painting to Shania. "Shania, I'm afraid I can't accept your painting."<br /> <br /> Shania bit her lip, her eyes slightly red. "Mr. Flores, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't know that this painting was fake."<br /> <br /> Looking at the expressions of the people around her, Shania felt like her face was on fire. The painting, which sold for millions of dollars, was like a total rip-off.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Mario was smiling and asking Jessie, "Jessie, how did you persuade Ariel to sell you this painting? Tell me all about it."<br /> <br /> Jessie maintained a composed and modest attitude, speaking in a calm tone. "I was fortunate enough to meet Ariel while studying abroad, and he sold me this painting afterward."<br /> <br /> "Great! Everyone seems to like our Jessie." Mario chuckled heartily and couldn't stop praising Jessie. Then he turned to Elliot and said, "Why don't you take Jessie to receive the guests?"<br /> <br /> "Okay." Jessie nodded and followed Elliot into the banquet hall.<br /> <br /> At this point, Shania recovered from the previous embarrassment and chatted lively with an international director, Cordell Bowman.<br /> <br /> Cordell had just arrived at the banquet and hadn't seen Jessie yet. His eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Jessie.<br /> <br /> He walked forward, not hiding his admiration at all in his eyes. "You must be Mrs. Flores? Hi, I'm Cordell Bowman."<br /> <br /> "Hello, Mr. Bowman," Jessie responded gracefully.<br /> <br /> "Mrs. Flores, may I know what you do for a living? I'm preparing a movie and still haven't found the right female lead. Mrs. Flores, are you interested in it?" said Cordell.<br /> <br /> When she heard that, Shania's expression changed drastically. 'I'm talking to Mr. Bowman just for the leading actress of this movie. What makes Jessie Whitney think she can be the female lead?' she cursed inwardly.<br /> <br /> Before Jessie could even speak, Elliot casually said beside her, "She's not interested."<br /> <br /> There was a hint of pity in Cordell's expression as he replied awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Flores. I was a bit abrupt."<br /> <br /> Jessie didn't say anything, but after following Elliot out, she finally spoke up. "What? Are you afraid I'll enter the entertainment industry and steal resources from Shania Horne? It seems like you really like her a lot."<br /> <br /> Shania had only been in the film company for a few years but always had the best resources.<br /> <br /> Without Elliot's contributions, it was unlikely that she would achieve it.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Elliot coldly chuckled. "It's none of your business about who I like, but you should know I will never like you."<br /> <br /> Jessie's expression turned somewhat gloomy. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 The Poison<br /> Shania was staring at Jessie's back from behind, her nails digging deeply into the palm of her hand.<br /> <br /> She and Jessie grew up together in the orphanage, but from the director to the classmates, they all only liked Jessie.<br /> <br /> Finally, she became the missing young lady of the wealthy Horne family.<br /> <br /> She thought she could finally tramp on Jessie, but to her dismay, the man she had her eye on became Jessie's husband.<br /> <br /> Jealousy drowned out Shania's gaze. 'Elliot should have been mine from the start. I won't give up!' she thought.<br /> <br /> When Jessie came out of the bathroom, she saw Mario talking to an elderly man of similar age, with Shania standing next to him.<br /> <br /> "Jessie, come over here. This is Shania's grandpa and also my friend," said Mario.<br /> <br /> Jessie immediately greeted, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Horne."<br /> <br /> Looking at her face, Lewis Horne paused for a moment before coming back to his senses. "Ah, hello."<br /> <br /> After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mario left with Jessie.<br /> <br /> However, Lewis couldn't take his eyes off Jessie's back. "This girl looks so much like your mom when she was young!"<br /> <br /> Shania panicked, but she soon regained her composure.<br /> <br /> She chuckled and said, "Grandpa, you must be kidding. There are so many people in this world who look alike. It's just a coincidence."<br /> <br /> The Horne family's daughter went missing when she was little, and when her parents found out, they rushed back and got into a car accident on their way. Both died.<br /> <br /> Thinking about this, Lewis couldn't help but pat Shania's hand and said, "You've been through a lot over these years."<br /> <br /> Shania didn't say anything but just hung her head low with a look of total despair.<br /> <br /> The banquet went on. After cutting the cake, Jessie realized it had been a long time since she had last seen Elliot.<br /> <br /> "Have you seen Elliot anywhere?" she grabbed a servant and asked.<br /> <br /> That servant pointed upstairs and said, "I just saw Miss Horne helping Mr. Elliot upstairs."<br /> <br /> Jessie's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran upstairs.<br /> <br /> In the room came Shania's voice. "Elliot, are you feeling unwell? What's wrong? Do you need my help?"<br /> <br /> Jessie felt fortunate to arrive in time. She kicked the door open neatly.<br /> <br /> The whole room was a mess. Elliot was curled up on the floor, looking really uncomfortable, like he was trying hard to hold on.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Shania was taking off her clothes. When she heard the noise at the door, she got a shock and hurriedly put her clothes back on. "Jessie, how did you get here?"<br /> <br /> "What? You don't want me to come so you can do something?" asked Jessie.<br /> <br /> Shania's expression changed abruptly. "Elliot brought me up here, Jessie. Elliot likes me. If it weren't for Mario, he wouldn't have married you!"<br /> <br /> "Get out of here!" Elliot angrily shouted.<br /> <br /> Jessie squinted her eyes and spoke with a touch of sharpness. "Shania Horne, if you don't leave now, I swear I'll call someone up here to see how you, a high-profile star from a wealthy family, are seducing my husband and trying to be a mistress!"<br /> <br /> "How dare you!" A hint of resentment flashed Shania's face. 'I'm not a mistress!' she said inwardly. But among too many guests, it was really embarrassing to make a scene. She gritted her teeth and ultimately left unwillingly.<br /> <br /> After she left, Jessie hurried over and asked, "What's the matter with you?"<br /> <br /> She had just touched Elliot's forehead when Elliot immediately pushed her away.<br /> <br /> "Get lost!" cursed Elliot.<br /> <br /> His whole body was burning hot. He just felt uncomfortable all over, like millions of ants were eating him alive.<br /> <br /> He swept off the stuff on the table again, making a loud bang.<br /> <br /> Jessie was totally freaked out. She thought Elliot had been drugged by Shania, but now it didn't seem like it.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she remembered Mario's words. "Elliot got kidnapped when he was fifteen, and although he came back alive, the kidnappers poisoned him. For many years, I've been searching for a cure and taking him to various doctors, but no medicine can cure him. Every 15th of the month, his condition flares up. Jessie, the doctor said he might not live past 25, so I found a master to do some fortune telling, and he said you are the lucky star in his destiny. I only have one grandson, and I've watched you grow up. I know it's not fair to you, but I hope you can marry him and stay by his side."<br /> <br /> Jessie could be sure that the poison in Elliot's body was acting up. 'But today is not the 15th. It's the alcohol! The alcohol has triggered the detox in advance,' she said inwardly.<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Contraceptives<br /> "Ouch!" Elliot was holding Jessie's arm tightly, piercing pain shooting through him.<br /> <br /> Jessie was startled and asked, "Elliot, calm down and tell me what the situation is right now. Where does it hurt the most?"<br /> <br /> Elliot seemed not to have heard her at all. Before she could react, Jessie's lips were suddenly blocked.<br /> <br /> Elliot's kisses came pouring down like a thunderstorm. He grabbed Jessie's head, their lips and teeth entwined and mixed with a hint of alcohol.<br /> <br /> Jessie froze in place and pushed Elliot away after realizing what had happened.<br /> <br /> She vaguely realized what poison it was and was about to stand up to leave.<br /> <br /> The next second, Elliot tightly grabbed her wrist, and his fiery gaze seemed to be looking at his prey.<br /> <br /> "Elliot, just calm down!" shouted Jessie.<br /> <br /> It seemed as if Elliot had lost all rationality as he pinned Jessie against the wall and tore at her dress.<br /> <br /> Looking at the man in front of her, who was clearly out of it, Jessie just couldn't bring herself to push him away again.<br /> <br /> When she woke up the next morning, she felt so sore all over, like her limbs had all fallen apart.<br /> <br /> She turned her head and saw that Elliot wasn't in bed. The sound of rushing water was coming from the bathroom.<br /> <br /> Thinking about last night's craziness, she couldn't help but blush a little.<br /> <br /> "Jessie, I really underestimated you! I can't believe you would scheme against me like this." Elliot had walked out of the bathroom somewhen. He was wearing a bathrobe, and the anger in his eyes looked like it could burn people alive.<br /> <br /> Hearing that, Jessie smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, "Elliot, I scheme against you? Who kissed me, and who slept with me last night? You're the one who wouldn't let me leave! Clearly, I'm the one who got the short end of the stick."<br /> <br /> "Didn't you already plan out what was going to happen next when you entered this room last night?" In Elliot's eyes, Jessie deliberately planned this.<br /> <br /> He sneered and looked at Jessie in front of him. "Don't even think that these low-down methods will make me like you. Dream on!"<br /> <br /> With that, he turned around and left.<br /> <br /> Jessie was so angry that her heart ached. If she had known before, she would have left even if she had to jump from the building last night.<br /> <br /> After breakfast at the old mansion, the two left directly. The whole way was quiet.<br /> <br /> As they were about to reach the villa, Jessie finally spoke up. "Elliot, the poison on your body..."<br /> <br /> Before she could finish, Elliot's eyes darkened. "Jessie, what do you know?"<br /> <br /> "Before we got married, Mario already told me about it. I'm a doctor. If it's okay with you, I'd like to draw some blood to see if there's any way to help," answered Jessie.<br /> <br /> As soon as she finished, Elliot's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm. "My business is none of your concern. Whatever your purpose is for marrying into the Flores family, if this matter gets out, you can forget about staying in the Flores family."<br /> <br /> Elliot had been searching for a cure through countless doctors. 'Jessie is a mere surgeon. She thinks she can cure me? That's just wishful thinking,' said Elliot inwardly.<br /> <br /> The corner of Jessie's mouth twitched as she thought, 'Who does he think he is looking down on?'<br /> <br /> She looked out the window and pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak and just picked up her phone to send a message.<br /> <br /> When the car reached downtown, Elliot asked the driver to stop at a drugstore.<br /> <br /> Jessie could vaguely guess what he was going to do, and sure enough, Elliot ordered, "Buy a box of contraceptives."<br /> <br /> The driver paused shortly and quickly responded, "Yes, sir."<br /> <br /> Jessie lowered her gaze, sniffed her slightly congested nose, and forced herself to calm down. 'It seems like he really has no feelings for me at all.'<br /> <br /> The driver came back so fast. Jessie took the medicine and gulped it down.<br /> <br /> The bitter medicine spread in her mouth as if reflecting her heart.<br /> <br /> Chapter 6 Shania Got Kidnapped<br /> They arrived at the hospital, and Elliot didn't leave immediately.<br /> <br /> Jessie had a feeling that this hospital was under the Flores Group, and the doctor who received Elliot was also from this hospital.<br /> <br /> They walked into the elevator, with the head of the surgical department, Felix Rollins, following behind.<br /> <br /> Felix didn't even know Elliot. When seeing Jessie and Elliot acting so polite to each other, he just thought they were strangers.<br /> <br /> Felix was also young and handsome. With a smile, he said, "Hey, Dr. Whitney, have you had breakfast? I brought an extra one for you just now."<br /> <br /> "Thanks, Dr. Rollins. I already had breakfast," replied Jessie.<br /> <br /> The two continued chatting about the patients and work stuff. When the elevator door opened, Jessie left with Felix without even saying goodbye to Elliot.<br /> <br /> Seeing his wife chatting and laughing with someone else, Elliot couldn't help but turn a bit gloomy.<br /> <br /> When he arrived at the fifth-floor office, Dr. Raul Smith, who had been treating Elliot for years, said jokingly, "Ugh... my assistant said he saw you walking in with Dr. Whitney from our hospital earlier. How did you two end up together?"<br /> <br /> With that, Raul seemed to remember something and looked surprised. "Wait a minute! I heard this morning that your new wife is a doctor. Could it be Jessie Whitney?"<br /> <br /> Elliot remained silent while Raul interpreted his silence as a yes. "Elliot, you are really something! You don't even know how popular Jessie is at the hospital. Doctors from all departments are always asking her out for dinners!"<br /> <br /> "Shut up," Elliot said with a cold tone, feeling extremely annoyed at the thought of Jessie. "I need to talk to you about something important. My poison flared up last night."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, Raul became serious. "No way! It wasn't the 15th last night. Oh, by the way, I was just thinking about calling you because I heard some news. Mr. Roland Ayers took on a disciple named Dr. Ghost a few years ago. Maybe he can cure your poison."<br /> <br /> Roland used to be a world-renowned miracle doctor. Rumor had it he could bring people back from the dead. But this guy had passed away. It had only been recently known that he had a disciple.<br /> <br /> Elliot squinted slightly and said in a low voice, "Figure out a way to contact this Dr. Ghost as soon as possible."<br /> <br /> "We are already on it," answered Raul.<br /> <br /> At this moment, the phone in Elliot's pocket started ringing. It was his assistant calling.<br /> <br /> Elliot picked up the phone. It was unknown what his assistant said, but his expression suddenly changed. "I'll be right over."<br /> <br /> With that, he hurriedly left the office.<br /> <br /> Jessie just got some meds in the lobby and was about to head back to the office when she bumped into Elliot, who was rushing out in a hurry.<br /> <br /> As they looked into each other's eyes, Elliot straight up grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me."<br /> <br /> Jessie raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in a puzzled tone, "What's wrong?"<br /> <br /> Elliot didn't say anything and just pulled her into the car.<br /> <br /> The car was speeding along the road, going really fast. It looked like there was something urgent.<br /> <br /> Jessie was even more confused. "Elliot, why did you bring me out here so urgently? What's going on?"<br /> <br /> "Shania got kidnapped," replied Elliot.<br /> <br /> The kidnapper was a manager from Elliot's company, Shawn Ferguson. After getting caught for tax evasion and all sorts of shady stuff a few days ago, he got fired and had to compensate the Flores Group a ton of money.<br /> <br /> Shawn was in a desperate situation and was unable to reach Elliot. After seeing the scandal between Elliot and Shania, he kidnapped Shania directly.<br /> <br /> 'Looks like Elliot really likes that woman, huh?' wondered Jessie.<br /> <br /> Chapter 7 Saving The Love Rival<br /> The car drove to an abandoned factory on the outskirts. During the drive, Jessie had already found out that Shania had been injured in the kidnapping.<br /> <br /> This was why Elliot took her out of the hospital.<br /> <br /> "Elliot, where's my money? Are you trying to fool me? Believe me! I'll kill that woman inside right away!" roared Shawn.<br /> <br /> Elliot's eyes looked gloomy, his voice cold. "My assistant is already preparing the money. It's impossible to gather 20 million dollars in cash in a short time. Shawn, I've brought a doctor. Let her check Shania's injuries first. Otherwise, you won't get a single penny if something happens to Shania."<br /> <br /> Shawn took a quick look at Jessie, who was wearing a white coat, thinking, 'She's just a woman. No harm in taking a look.' "Fine," he replied.<br /> <br /> Jessie thought it was pretty funny that Elliot actually brought her to save her love rival, wondering if Elliot was generous or simply didn't care.<br /> <br /> After giving it some thought, Elliot spoke up. "There's a first aid kit in the car. You just need to take care of Shania's wounds, and then you can leave. Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."<br /> <br /> Jessie pursed her lips, grabbed the first aid kit, and went over. After being searched by Shawn's men guarding the door, she was finally allowed to enter.<br /> <br /> Shawn held a gun in his hand and said with a warning tone, "Doctor, I advise you not to play any tricks."<br /> <br /> "Sir, I am just a weak woman. You can rest assured that I will leave as soon as she is treated." At the moment, Jessie could only compromise.<br /> <br /> Shawn gave a cold snort and didn't say anything else.<br /> <br /> Shania's wound was deep, but it was not fatal. After dealing with it, Jessie was ready to leave.<br /> <br /> However, the cloth in Shania's mouth fell off at this moment, and she immediately yelled, "Sir, I'm just an artist under Elliot's company. She's Elliot's wife. Kidnapping her is more useful."<br /> <br /> Jessie's expression changed drastically when she heard this. 'What a bastard are you! Shania!' she cursed inside.<br /> <br /> "Bullshit! You think you can fool me?" Shawn was obviously doubtful.<br /> <br /> "I didn't lie to you. She is indeed Elliot's wife. If you don't believe me, just check on your phone and you'll see. She was the one who attended Mario's birthday banquet with Elliot last night. Kidnapping me won't work. Elliot won't give you any money," Shania lied.<br /> <br /> Shania was not dumb, knowing Shawn was a cunning guy. Once he got the money, he probably wouldn't let go of her. The longer she stayed here, the more dangerous she got.<br /> <br /> Shawn was lost in thought, about to take out his phone to check. But Jessie spoke up directly. "No need to check. I'm Elliot's wife. Let her go. I'll be the hostage."<br /> <br /> After checking, Shawn did see the pictures from last night's banquet. He readily let Shania go. After all, kidnapping Elliot's wife was truly more valuable and could ensure a better chance of success.<br /> <br /> The rope was untied from Shania and tied onto Jessie. Shawn was holding a gun and never let his guard down.<br /> <br /> After Shania left, Shawn grinned at Jessie and warned in a sinister tone, "Little girl, if you want to blame someone, blame Elliot Flores. He made me bankrupt, and now my wife is running off with someone else. He can forget about having a wife, too."<br /> <br /> Jessie's lips twitched when she heard this. 'What's wrong with this guy? His wife ran away with another man, so what does it have to do with Elliot?' she wondered.<br /> <br /> Jessie was not panicked. She smiled and said to Shawn, "Do you think Elliot will still pay up if I'm the hostage?"<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?" Shawn's heart skipped a beat.<br /> <br /> "It's nothing." Jessie shrugged, thinking, 'Elliot would probably be more than happy if I were dead, given his disdain toward me.'<br /> <br /> Shawn felt something was off about Jessie, but he didn't think too much of it. 'After all, Jessie was just a woman. What kind of tricks can she pull off?'<br /> <br /> Half an hour later, the Flores Group's men had 20 million dollars in cash ready.<br /> <br /> The kidnappers demanded that Elliot enter the room alone with the money. While Elliot watched the bound Jessie, there was a gloomy and complex expression in his eyes.<br /> <br /> The henchmen counted the cash, and Shawn laughed heartily. "Elliot, now that the hostage has been changed to your wife, I'm afraid that 20 million dollars is not enough. I want 100 million dollars!"<br /> <br /> Chapter 8 Rumors<br /> "Shawn!" Elliot's voice turned even angrier.<br /> <br /> "Oh? Mr. Flores, you are not going to agree? Then I'll kill your wife right now!" threatened Shawn.<br /> <br /> Seeing the gun pointed at Jessie's head, Elliot said in a restrained voice, "Okay."<br /> <br /> Jessie raised the corner of her mouth, feeling a bit unexpected.<br /> <br /> However, upon further consideration, she thought it was reasonable. 'I am indeed his nominal wife. Even if unwilling, he could not leave this responsibility behind.'<br /> <br /> Elliot met eyes with Jessie, wondering, 'Is this woman scared dumb? The gun's right against her head, and she's still cracking a smile?'<br /> <br /> A smile flashed in Jessie's eyes before her gaze turned freezing cold.<br /> <br /> She gave Elliot a look, then suddenly stood up and kicked Shawn's hand.<br /> <br /> "Ah!" With a cry of despair, the gun fell from Shawn's hand to the ground.<br /> <br /> Elliot quickly reacted. With a swift turn, he kicked Shawn's henchman to the ground and promptly picked up the gun from the ground.<br /> <br /> Seeing the money slip through his fingers, Shawn suddenly summoned his strength, grabbed a knife, and stabbed toward Jessie.<br /> <br /> "Bam!" The gun went off, and Shawn fell to the ground with a pair of angry, resentful eyes wide open.<br /> <br /> Elliot's men quickly rushed in and subdued Shawn.<br /> <br /> "Aren't you afraid?" asked Elliot with a deep voice. Today's Jessie really made him feel different. 'Faced with the scene just now, other women would have been scared, but she...' As he thought about it, there was a hint of depth in Elliot's gaze.<br /> <br /> Jessie hesitated for a moment before answering, "Doctors like us often see all kinds of dead bodies. There's nothing to be afraid of."<br /> <br /> "Oh really? You've got some good fighting skills. You fight pretty well," praised Elliot.<br /> <br /> Although Jessie didn't really go all out just now, Elliot could still tell from her moves that most people probably couldn't beat this woman.<br /> <br /> 'I learned it abroad for self-defense," replied Jessie.<br /> <br /> With that, the two had already left the abandoned factory. Shania was still waiting in the car. "Elliot, are you okay? I just heard a gunshot coming from inside. It scared the heck out of me!"<br /> <br /> "I'm fine. Let's get in the car and head back," said Elliot.<br /> <br /> After getting in the car, Shania finally turned to look at Jessie. Although she was full of disgust in her heart, she still said hypocritically, "Jessie, thank you. If it weren't for you willing to exchange hostages for me, I couldn't have come out alive."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Jessie couldn't help but laugh. "Huh? I'm willing? Wasn't it you who told Shawn there was a better chance by kidnapping Elliot's wife?"<br /> <br /> Shania's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly explained, "No, Elliot, I didn't."<br /> <br /> Elliot's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't respond to Shania directly but simply said, "I'll have someone take care of those rumors. Make sure to have more bodyguards with you when filming and traveling in the future."<br /> <br /> It was actually a misunderstanding that day. He heard Shania had an accident on set, so he rushed over. Unfortunately, he was caught entering the hotel by reporters, so now there was a rumored relationship.<br /> <br /> Jessie was leaning back in the car seat with a playful look in her eyes, thinking, 'Rumors? huh!"<br /> <br /> After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Jessie didn't want to see the lovey-dovey couple, so she got out of the car first. When she arrived at the surgical room, she saw Felix running over in a hurry.<br /> <br /> "Dr. Whitney, where did you go? I've been looking for you for ages, and I couldn't reach you on your phone," said Felix urgently.<br /> <br /> "There was a kidnapping in the outskirts. I went over to rescue the hostage," replied Jessie.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, Felix became worried immediately. "Huh? Kidnapping? Are you okay? Let me have a check."<br /> <br /> Jessie smiled and said, "I'm okay."<br /> <br /> As soon as she finished, Felix noticed the bruise on her wrist. "You consider this okay? You're too reckless. I'll get some medicine for you."<br /> <br /> Behind her, Elliot followed along. Looking at Jessie's chatty and cheerful demeanor, he only felt annoyed instinctively.<br /> <br /> Chapter 9 Dr. Ghost<br /> Shania's wound was still being handled by Jessie. After her wound was bandaged, Shania said pitifully, "Elliot, I don't know when this leg injury will heal. I'm worried about scarring. Jessie is a doctor. Can I stay at your place and let her take care of me?"<br /> <br /> Jessie was disgusted by Shania's tone and straight up refused, "No."<br /> <br /> However, Elliot chimed in immediately, "Sure." With that, he glanced at Jessie and said, "You don't need to come to the hospital for the next few days. Stay at home and take care of Shania."<br /> <br /> Finishing, he left the consulting room directly.<br /> <br /> Jessie was feeling frustrated and cursed inwardly, 'You're simply inhuman, Elliot!'<br /> <br /> "Jessie, sorry for the inconvenience," Shania said with a big smile, looking victorious.<br /> <br /> Jessie had a poker face as she casually pulled out a syringe from the cabinet and shook the liquid inside.<br /> <br /> "What's this?" Shania's heart skipped a beat, and she shrunk back in fear.<br /> <br /> "You said you were most afraid of leaving scars on your legs, right? This is the potion that can make your scar last a lifetime. Plus, I have to take good care of you, right?" Jessie emphasized the words "take good care of" particularly strongly.<br /> <br /> "Jessie, don't even think about it. We are at a hospital. If something happens to me, Elliot will definitely not let you off the hook," said Shania a little tremblingly.<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Jessie laughed even brighter. "Now that I'm Mrs. Flores, why would I care about a doctor's position? As for you, Shania, I've put up with you for too long."<br /> <br /> As Jessie got closer and closer to her, Shania screamed and wheeled out in her wheelchair.<br /> <br /> Looking at her embarrassed appearance as she fled, Jessie chuckled and said inwardly, 'What an idiot!'<br /> <br /> After finishing her work, Jessie left the hospital. Her phone started ringing at this time. It was a text message, reading, [Jessie, Raul contacted us. He offered a price of 100 million dollars to invite you to save someone.]<br /> <br /> [Okay,] Jessie replied.<br /> <br /> Raul was Elliot's personal doctor.<br /> <br /> 'Since he didn't trust me, this was the only way,' Jessie thought. It was late at night. She finally arrived at the hospital at the agreed time.<br /> <br /> She was now wearing a gray leisure outfit, with a cap and face mask, looking like a handsome young boy.<br /> <br /> On the way, the nurse from the same department didn't recognize that the person was Jessie.<br /> <br /> She finally arrived at Raul's office, where Elliot and Raul were already waiting inside.<br /> <br /> "Are you Dr. Ghost?" Raul eyed the person in front of him with a hint of curiosity. 'This person looks like he is in his early twenties, so young. Could he be an imposter?' he wondered.<br /> <br /> Not only Raul but also Elliot had a look of scrutiny in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Jessie was all prepared and pulled out the emerald pendant that Roland always wore when he was alive to prove her identity.<br /> <br /> Even though Raul had never seen Roland, he recognized this thing and immediately exclaimed, "You are indeed Dr. Ghost! Forgive my rudeness."<br /> <br /> Without further ado, Jessie got straight to the point. "How's the patient?"<br /> <br /> Raul gave Elliot a look and waited for him to nod before speaking slowly. "His poison was administered five years ago. It flares up on the 15th of every month. But it flared up a few days early this month, and... It seems that women can alleviate the pain of the poison. I've researched for years and still can't figure out what this poison is. Dr. Ghost, if you can cure this poison, I'll give you not just 100 million dollars but as much money as you want."<br /> <br /> Jessie nodded and lowered her voice, saying, "Sure, I want first to draw a little bit of Mr. Flores's blood to do some research."<br /> <br /> Raul and Elliot didn't refuse. When Jessie drew his blood, she was very close to Elliot.<br /> <br /> Amid the haze, Elliot could only faintly smell a familiar scent lingering around his nose.

"You have to be joking." <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained.<br /> ______________<br /> Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.<br /> 'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.<br /> 'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> 'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.<br /> Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?<br /> 'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'<br /> Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.<br /> "Lily, what's taking you so long?" Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.<br /> "Coming!" Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.<br /> "Took you long enough," Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, "Cute dress." Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.<br /> "You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size," Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.<br /> Brandy replied with a scowl, "That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me." She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.<br /> Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.<br /> 'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.<br /> 'That's not nice,' Lily responded.<br /> 'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.<br /> Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.<br /> Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping spirits and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.<br /> "Oh, you look so lovely!" her mother said to Brandy.<br /> Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.<br /> Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, "Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?"<br /> "I passed all my exams. Straight As again," Lily said happily.<br /> Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.<br /> Her mother casually remarked, "That's lovely, honey," before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. "Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?"<br /> "Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress," Brandy explained.<br /> Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of spirits and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.<br /> 'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.<br /> Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, "I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring."<br /> "What do you mean?" Lily asked.<br /> "Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate," Her father responded.<br /> "Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night," Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.<br /> "That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony," her father proposed.<br /> "Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together!" Lily exclaimed happily.<br /> Brandy scoffed and said, "You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad."<br /> "Tell me what?" Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. "Tell me what, Dad?"<br /> "I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew, deeper! Oh, yes! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy, her sister, on all knees, back arched, while her fated mate was thrusting in her with abandon. Brandy lifted her head and smirked at Lily. It finally clicked now.<br /> Matthew didn't answer his phone because he was with her.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew making love to her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> "Oh, I'm coming," Matthew groaned as he released into Brandy. Brandy's eyes rolled in satisfaction as she bounced back against Matthew, milking him of every drop.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily, what the heck?" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand.
