š„š This novel is so exciting that I'm going to stay up all night to keep reading! | šļ¼As the world teetered on the brink of spiritual desolation, fate led him to become the final disciple of a celestial genius. For ten years, he vanished into seclusion, refining his spirit amidst the arcane. When he descended, riding a sword that shimmered with otherworldly power, the heavens trembledāan invincible force had awakened to reshape destiny and crush all who stood in his way!š®š® Chapter 1 Ten Years Later Mount Stokeris had steep and towering cliffs with ancient trees reaching toward the sky. An isolated monastery stood alone amidst the clouds at the summit of the mountain. Two people were standing in front of the monastery gates, an elder and a youth. āFinneas, a decade has passed, and you've become invincible in the ordinary world. It's time for you to descend the mountain.ā The voice of Melvin Frye, the elder, carried the weight of time. āJust say it if you want to hit me.ā Finneas Lamorde looked at the old man with eyes full of resentment. Melvin fell silent for a moment before he said, āActually, my actions were for your own good!ā āHah!ā Upon hearing those words, Finneas let out a cold scoff but didn't respond. Suddenly, Melvin asked, āFinneas, do you despise me?ā āI used to really hate you!ā āAnd what about now?ā āIt doesn't matter anymore. Ten years have passed, so there's no point in bringing this up.ā āYou're right in that it's pointless! After all, how many decades does a person have in their lifetime... Time is as ruthless as a blade, cutting down even the most arrogant. Despite my strength, I still couldn't leap across to that unreachable shore.ā The old man let out a sigh. With great effort, he lifted his gaze, staring into the distant sky. At this very moment, the sun was setting in the west, marking the arrival of dusk. The evening glow intertwined with the layers of clouds, its lingering light falling upon the vast forest and reflecting a breathtakingly beautiful sheen. āThe setting sun is beautiful, but alas, it is fleeting.ā With a sigh, Melvin continued, āFinneas, could you call me 'Master Frye?'ā Finneas lowered his head, the corners of his mouth still carrying the same unchanged cold smirk. Melvin seemed accustomed to it, continuing to speak to himself as usual. āFinneas, what do you think the Immortal Realm is like?ā āFinneas, I'm craving dumplings.ā āFinneas, my tooth aches...ā The scene gradually quieted down. Whoosh! The evening breeze blew gently, bringing with it a touch of coolness. After quite a while of silence, Finneas sensed something was amiss and looked up at Melvin. To his surprise, he found that the old man had closed his eyes at some point and was currently devoid of any signs of life. Upon witnessing this scene, Finneas stepped forward and roughly hoisted Melvin's corpse up. His voice was cold as he said, āAren't you just trying to trick me into going down the mountain so you can find an excuse to beat me up? Why would you go to such absurd lengths as to feign death?ā However, no matter what Finneas said, Melvin no longer showed any response. His complexion was gradually turning purple, and his body temperature was slowly cooling down. His frame had withered away to less than forty kilograms, a stark contrast to his once ethereal and majestic demeanor. Memories began to slowly surface in Finneas' mind. Ten years ago, he was merely twenty-two when he graduated from university. To fulfill his promise to his girlfriend, he journeyed alone by car to Yiefmery to meet her parents at their home. Unexpectedly, during the journey, he encountered an enigmatic old man. The elder mentioned that Finneas had a natural spiritual constitution and was a promising seedling for cultivation. Despite Finneas' objections, Melvin forcibly brought him into this scarcely populated mountain. Just like that, a whole decade passed! Over the span of those ten years, Melvin subjected him to the most rigorous training known to mankind. Every day, before dawn, he had to get up to train. At seven, he practiced his punches. At ten, he practiced his kicks. At twelve, he practiced his swordsmanship. At two in the afternoon, he practiced the Eyes of Aether. At six in the afternoon, he practiced his arrays. At nine in the evening, he focused on medicine. After midnight, he began to meditate. Day after day, year after year. Over the decade, he had yearned to escape countless times, to flee from this place and return home. But every time, Melvin would effortlessly drag him back and give him a severe beating! There was even once the beating was so severe it almost cost him his life. Even though immortal cultivation was considered a great opportunity, Finneas was utterly indifferent to it. His girlfriend was still waiting for him to propose, while his aging parents and younger sister were all depending on him to earn money and support the family. How could he stay here? Unfortunately, no matter how much he pleaded, Melvin remained unmoved. Finneas had once subtly suggested that he wanted to send a message home, even pleading on his knees, but the old man still did not agree. After giving him a thorough beating, Melvin said coldly, āThe pursuit of immortal cultivation goes against the heavens, so you must sever all ties with the mortal world! Finneas, unless I'm dead, you can forget about ever leaving this mountain!ā From that moment on, Finneas harbored a deep-seated resentment toward Melvin! He trained relentlessly every day, hoping to quickly grow stronger. His goal was to surpass Melvin so he could kill the latter as a way to alleviate the hatred burning in his heart. And so, a decade flew by in the blink of an eye! He had devoted himself to ten years of rigorous training, yet instead of surpassing the old man as he had hoped, he was instead met with this particular scene. At that moment, Finneas felt an emptiness in his heart. He wasn't as joyful as he had imagined, nor was he as infuriated. All there was, was an undisturbed tranquility. Or perhaps, it would be more apt to say he was feeling numb. He couldn't help but feel that his ten years of persistence now seemed utterly ridiculous. The evening breeze began to blow more fiercely. The temperature in the vast mountains seemed to have plummeted below freezing all of a sudden. Without uttering a word, Finneas silently laid Melvin to rest. Then, he turned and stood, his melancholic eyes gazing at the lush green mountains in the distance. No one could comprehend what he was feeling at that moment. After a good long while, he finally spoke. āI can't believe you're truly gone this time! Your body will gradually disperse, becoming eternal, much like the grains of sand in the desert. In a way, this could be considered a form of immortality. With this farewell, we'll never see each other again!ā In the end, Finneas just couldn't bring himself to address Melvin as āMaster Frye.ā Then again, what significance did it hold whether he did it now or not? He unsheathed his sword, transforming into a ray of light that vanished into the horizon. If there had been a cultivator present at that moment, they would have undoubtedly been utterly astounded. It was hard to believe that in this modern era, someone could actually fly on a sword! Half an hour later, Finneas returned to the hometown of his memories at last. His hometown was located on the outskirts of Jacaster in Jussipi. The home he couldn't stop thinking about was nothing more than a modest, single-story house. In front of the single-story house was a small pond, with willow trees swaying gently by its side. āSo... nothing has changed, after all!ā Observing the familiar scene before him, Finneas' eyes ultimately welled up with tears. A decade had passed since he was abducted, and now he was finally returning to his home. Even with his current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow, on the verge of tears. Back when he had been in the mountain, there had been countless days and nights when he would dream of such a scene... Of swimming in the pond as a child, or the hustle and bustle of the streets, or even of all his friends and family. āAfter disappearing without a trace for ten years, I suppose Mom and Dad must have thought I was dead, right?ā āAnd little Alyssa... When I left, she was only nine years old. I don't even know if she's in university now!ā āThe old man claimed that the path to immortality lies in cultivation and requires one to sever all earthly ties. But if that means cutting off those dearest to us, what then is the purpose of cultivation?ā Finneas let out a long sigh, steadying his chaotic emotions. Wasn't this the moment he had been waiting for all these years? At that moment, a cry of fear suddenly echoed from within the single-story house. āI was wrong! I don't want the relocation compensation anymore! I was wrong, I understand my mistake now!ā āPlease... No... No!ā Smack! āBehave yourself!ā Upon hearing this, Finneas' expression changed abruptly. Is that Lyssie? Is she being assaulted? āD*mn it!ā Finneas' expression was bone-chillingly cold. His body seemed to teleport as he rushed toward the single-story house's gates! Chapter 2 I Despise You Meanwhile, inside the single-story house. Two bald brutes, their bodies marked with dragon tattoos, were surrounding a girl as they let out malicious laughter. āShe's absolutely stunning!ā āMan, this is amazing! Who would have thought this stubborn tenant would be so gorgeous? The two of us really lucked out!ā āLet me go!ā Alyssa Lamorde pleaded desperately while sobbing. Her delicate cheek was a rosy hue from the slap, with traces of blood spilling from the corners of her mouth. She struggled with all her might, but it was utterly futile! No matter what she did, she couldn't fend off the two burly men. āStop struggling! Once we're satisfied, we'll let you go!ā āDon't worry, we'll treat you well, you know...ā The two men held Alyssa down, all the while wearing wicked grins on their faces. Tears, clear as crystal beads, fell from Alyssa's eyes. She knew there was no escaping tonight! At this moment, she felt a chill coursing through her entire body as she reflected on her experiences over the years. She had been reluctant to spend money on clothes, and even when she got into university, she didn't have the funds to attend. Even when eating, she was always careful and meticulous. During the New Year, while others were enjoying a family reunion with a table full of lavish meals, she could only curl up alone on the bed in her single-story house, praying for the cold night to pass quickly. Eventually, an opportunity arose when she received news that she would be relocated. Unexpectedly, the demolition company took advantage of her being alone by offering an extremely low compensation for the relocation. She refused, which consequently led to the arrival of these two men to force her into submission. She genuinely didn't understand - what had she done wrong? Despite all the effort she put into living her life to the fullest, why did it seem like fate just wouldn't cut her some slack? Perhaps I should have left this world with Mom and Dad when they passed away eight years ago. That way, I wouldn't need to suffer anymore. Upon such thoughts, Alyssa felt a wave of overwhelming exhaustion and despair wash over her, to the point she fell unconscious. Upon seeing Alyssa faint, the two bald brutes laughed even more boisterously. Bang! It was at that moment the front door of the single-story house was kicked open with a single, forceful kick. Like a bolt of lightning, Finneas burst in! Upon witnessing the scene before him, his eyes instantly filled with rage, and he felt as though his heart had shattered into pieces! āAh! Go to hell!ā In a fit of rage, Finneas let out a furious roar, sending a slap through the air. Boom! Before the two burly men could even comprehend what was happening, they were reduced to a cloud of blood by Finneas! āLyssie!ā Overwhelmed with emotion, Finneas held his unconscious sister tightly in his arms, unable to hold back his tears. He had never in his wildest dreams thought that he would be met with such a spectacle upon his return. Seeing his sister's pitifully scant clothing and her red, swollen cheek, he felt an overwhelming sense of heartache. It took a while before his emotions gradually began to stabilize. After that, he fetched a clean outfit for Alyssa to wear and meticulously cleaned up all the bloodstains in the room. Only then did he sit next to his sister, silently watching over her. It seemed as though he could never tire of looking at her. They hadn't seen each other for a decade, after all! The transformation in Alyssa was significant. She had grown from the tiny tot of yesteryears into a stunning beauty. Just then, Alyssa slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Finneas, she was startled and quickly scrambled to her feet. She asked with a wariness in her voice, āWho are you, and where did those two people from earlier go?ā āI scared them away!ā Finneas didn't admit to having killed those two brutes. After all, his sister was just an ordinary person. It was inevitable that hearing such things would strike fear in her heart. At the same time, he felt somewhat conflicted within. Judging from her reaction, it was clear that Alyssa hadn't recognized him. However, this was to be expected. Ten years ago, she was merely nine years old. Over the past decade, his hair had grown long. Both his appearance and demeanor had significantly changed from what they used to be as well. āYou scared them off?ā Alyssa cast a doubtful glance at Finneas. Nonetheless, after a moment of hesitation, she murmured, āT-Thank you!ā Despite her words, her expression remained cautious, and she maintained a relatively safe distance from Finneas. Seeing his sister's cautious demeanor, a sense of sorrow welled up in Finneas' heart. He couldn't imagine what she had gone through in the last decade without him here! What about their parents? Where had they gone? āLyssie! Don't you recognize me anymore?ā Finneas struggled to keep himself composed. āWho are you?ā Alyssa looked up, a puzzled expression on her face as she regarded Finneas. His face was etched with weariness and melancholy. At first glance, he might not have been conventionally handsome, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that he possessed a unique, captivating charm. Beyond that, she surprisingly found the man before her somewhat familiar. It seemed as though they had met somewhere before! āIt's me, your big brother, Finn!ā A hint of a smile squeezed its way onto Finneas' face. āFinn?ā Alyssa paused for a moment. Subsequently, a face from the depths of her memory began to slowly merge with the one right before her eyes. Her body visibly shuddered, and her eyes quickly reddened. It was clear that glistening tears were threatening to spill from the corners of her eyes. āLyssie!ā Finneas truly struggled to calm his emotions at that moment. He cautiously reached out his hand, hoping to ruffle his sister's hair just like he used to when they were kids. Yet, he hadn't anticipated that, after a brief moment of appearing dazed, Alyssa would actually swat his hand away. Then, she seemed to transform into another person entirely. Rubbing her teary, red eyes, she snapped, āYou're mistaken. I don't have a brother!ā āLyssie, you...ā Finneas was taken aback, unable to believe his sister would utter such words. He had thought that upon hearing of his return, Alyssa would joyfully throw herself into his arms, just like she used to when they were children. Surprisingly, the look on her face now was one of sheer loathing. āDon't call me Lyssie! When our parents passed away, you were nowhere to be found. Now, when our home is on the verge of being demolished, you conveniently show up? Finneas, I really don't want to think ill of you, but you've truly let me down!ā A tremor ran through Finneas' heart, and he quickly asked, āWeren't Mom and Dad in good health?ā āYears ago, when you left and never returned, Mom and Dad spent all their fortune trying to find you. In the end, they were hit by a car on the road and passed away, just like that.ā Alyssa's voice was noticeably choked, as though she were holding back tears. āW-When did this happen?ā āA long, long time ago. Specifically, the second year after you left.ā She gave Finneas another once-over, letting out a cold, mocking laugh as she said, āHah! Just what have you been doing in the decade since you left us to end up looking like this? Could it be that Natalie abandoned you? So now you're homeless, you decided to come back? Finneas, you're really not human!ā Finneas swiftly stepped forward, grabbing Alyssa's arm. āLyssie, let me explain. You might find it hard to believe, but for the past decade, I've been on a path of immortal cultivation...ā āLet go of me! I don't want to hear your nonsense!ā āI won't let go! I won't ever let you go. You're my sister...ā āFinneas, don't push me. Will you only be happy once you've forced me into a corner until I have no other choice but to end it all?ā Alyssa's voice was hysterical, her emotions seeming as if they were on the brink of collapse at any moment. āFinneas, I will never forgive you! Never ever! From the moment our parents passed away, I've been left alone in this world with no family. Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you saved me!ā Upon hearing this, Finneas was dumbstruck and froze on the spot. He allowed himself to be shoved out the door by Alyssa. Then, with a resounding slam, the front door was forcefully shut. Chapter 3 The Nine Heavens Immortal Art āL-Lyssie.ā Finneas stared blankly at the tightly shut door, his heart aching. Contrary to his expectations, the anticipated heartwarming family reunion never occurred. Instead, a scene of desolation unfolded. Perhaps one could say, from the moment he was brought back to the mountains by Melvin ten years ago, it was destined to end in tragedy. Finneas stood at the doorway, catching his breath for a while, until his emotions gradually settled down. He had to admit Melvin's ruthless training had really affected him. He felt as though his blood had turned cold, as if no matter what happened, he could quickly regain his composure. Finneas exhaled a heavy sigh, slowly beginning to explain, āLyssie, I truly went for immortal cultivation back then and was confined in a place for ten years! Only today was I able to come out...ā Yet, there was not a single response from inside the single-story house. āLyssie, no matter what, now that I'm back, I'm not going anywhere! I don't care at all about things like the relocation compensation. You're my sister, so it's my duty to protect you! From now on, it's just the two of us, brother and sister, depending on each other. I won't let anyone bully you anymore.ā Creak. The gates had been opened. Alyssa looked at Finneas with a complicated expression. She naturally didn't believe Finneas' claim of being confined in one place for ten years. āDoes all this talk hold any significance?ā āLyssie, after our parents passed away, these years must have been quite tough for you, haven't they?ā Finneas said, his heart aching for her. āIt has nothing to do with you.ā Alyssa slammed the door shut once again. Then, leaning against the door, she clamped her hands over her mouth, tears already streaming down her delicate face. She genuinely wanted to be able to rush into her brother's arms like she used to when they were kids, to sob uncontrollably and seek solace from him. However, every time she thought about how Finneas had left for a woman after graduating from university, staying away for ten years and causing their parents' death, she found it impossible to forgive him. Now that her brother had shown up during such a sensitive period, when their house was about to be demolished and she would receive compensation for the relocation, it was hard not to speculate about his real reason for returning. āLyssie, get some good sleep first. I'll be outside, keeping watch. If you need anything, just call for me,ā Finneas uttered softly. Then, he found a relatively flat spot in front of the door and settled down cross-legged. Right now, his mind was a mess. He needed some time to sort out his thoughts. In their quest to find him, their parents tragically lost their lives in a car accident. After that, his younger sister had to live a lonely and difficult life all by herself for so many years. It was easy to imagine just how much hardship and injustice she must have endured. āSince I've returned, no one should even think about bullying Lyssie in the future...ā Finneas let out a heavy sigh. Since his parents had already passed away, his sole focus now was to care for his younger sister and achieve immortality. āAs for Natalie...ā Finneas let out another sigh. Natalie was indeed his girlfriend back in the day. The two of them had been together for seven years, throughout three years of high school and four years of university. Though they loved each other, they were ultimately star-crossed, destined to remain apart. A decade had passed, and Natalie was now thirty-two. Finneas guessed that she had probably married and had children by now. āForget it, what's the point in pondering over this now? In the end, it was I who let her down.ā Finneas decided not to dwell on it any further. He moved into the lotus pose, breathing in and out meditatively. The breathing technique he practiced was known as the āNine Heavens Immortal Art.ā According to Melvin, this was a supreme immortal technique, something he had risked his life to obtain from an ancient ruin! Unfortunately, this method was not suitable for ordinary people to practice. It could only be cultivated by those with a natural spiritual constitution. That was the reason Melvin had been so excited when he first saw Finneas. After everything that happened, Finneas could also guess why Melvin had been so harsh and merciless toward him. Melvin was remarkably talented, managing to reach the Judgment phase in this modern era. Unfortunately, he was ultimately unable to overcome the barrenness of this world. At the end of his lifespan, he still hadn't succeeded in achieving immortality. Achieving immortality had been Melvin's lifelong obsession. Therefore, in the last decade of his life, he sought out Finneas. Pouring all of his lifelong knowledge into the young man, he hoped that Finneas would be the one to break the chains of their world, to shatter the curse that prevented future generations from achieving immortality. Under Melvin's inhumane training, Finneas proved to live up to his expectations. In merely a decade, he had become a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core phase. The path of cultivation was divided into ten phases: Energy Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Projection, Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, Transcendency, Great Ascension, and Judgment. Each phase was further divided into numerous sub-phases. For instance, the Golden Core phase could be divided into three sub-phases: Core Formation, Core Condensation, and Core Transformation. Similarly, the Nascent Soul phase could also be divided into three sub-phases: Soul Formation, Soul Condensation, and Soul Transformation. Every minor breakthrough of a sub-phase was a major advancement for the cultivator, resulting in an exponential increase in their strength. One could say that in this modern era, Finneas was virtually unstoppable with his peak Golden Core phase cultivation! Naturally, this was just something Melvin had told him when he was still alive. As for the specifics, even Finneas wasn't quite sure, since he hadn't encountered any other cultivators up until now. The night passed in the blink of an eye. Finneas opened his eyes after his cultivation session, exhaling a breath of stale air. After breaking through the Golden Core phase, it wouldn't be easy for him to make further progress. Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in this world, it would take an incredibly long time to form the Nascent Soul through mere meditation and cultivation alone. To break through quickly, he would have to find alternative methods. At that moment, the gates of the single-story house opened. Alyssa, carrying a basin full of clothes, stepped out, ready to wash them in the small pond nearby. Immediately, Finneas was by his sister's side. āLyssie, doing laundry? Let me help you with that.ā āNo need,ā Alyssa responded coldly. Last night, she had observed Finneas sitting outside all night. Yet, even so, it was impossible to erase the resentment in her heart. She kept thinking that her brother's return this time around was most likely due to the demolition and relocation. āThere's no need to be polite with me.ā Finneas promptly snatched the basin and headed toward the pond. As soon as he crouched down, he noticed something was amiss. This was because the washbasin was filled with women's undergarments... To wash... or not to wash? Finneas was truly in a bit of a bind. Although Alyssa was his own sister, he still acknowledged the inherent differences between men and women. Moreover, using his hands to scrub this type of intimate clothing didn't seem all that appropriate, and it was rather awkward... That being said, as Finneas gazed at the faded undergarments, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness in his heart. For a girl, it was essential to frequently purchase new undergarments, but it seemed like Alyssa had been wearing the same ones for years. āWhat's wrong? Can someone like you also feel embarrassed?ā Alyssa stood on the shore, her tone indifferent as she spoke. āThese clothes are too old. Don't worry, I'll buy you new ones later,ā Finneas promised softly while washing the laundry. āStop pretending!ā Alyssa turned her head and walked into the house. Upon seeing this, Finneas couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Chapter 4 Kelly Latiers After finishing the laundry, Finneas decided to go out and earn some money. Just then, a pink Chevrolet Spark drove up the dilapidated gravel road in front of their house. A girl with light makeup and flashy clothes got out of the car. She looked about eighteen or nineteen, wearing a white dress and black stockings. With a youthful, energetic appearance, she resembled a delicate porcelain doll. Her name was Kelly Latiers, a high school classmate of Alyssa's. Kelly gave a curious glance at Finneas, who was standing at the door, and then loudly called out into the house, āLyssie, are you home?ā Inside, Alyssa heard the familiar voice and quickly wiped away her tears. She then ran out to ask, āKelly, why are you here?ā āLyssie, were you just crying?ā Kelly noticed Alyssa's red eyes and immediately sensed something was wrong. She then thought of something and glanced warily at Finneas standing not far away. āHe doesn't look like a good person. Did he bully you?ā āNo, I just accidentally fell.ā Alyssa shook her head and pulled Kelly into the house. Finneas wanted to follow them, but as soon as he stepped forward, the door slammed shut. āShe must be Lyssie's friend... With a friend around, Lyssie should feel better,ā Finneas muttered to himself outside. It didn't really matter if he went in or not, as his keen hearing allowed him to hear every sound inside the house clearly. What troubled him was that Kelly looked glamorous and beautiful, while his sister looked like Cinderella. āEven though Lyssie said this place might be relocated soon, relying on the relocation compensation isn't realistic. I need to make money quickly!ā Finneas pondered for a moment, then crouched in the corner to listen to the conversation inside. Inside the small room, there was only a worn-out bed and a desk piled with books. The two girls sat on the bed, whispering to each other, unaware that Finneas could hear everything they said from the corner. If Kelly knew, she would definitely scold him with her fiery temper. āLyssie, who is that creepy guy with the scruffy beard and long hair?ā āI don't know, maybe a scavenger here to take a dump.ā āOh, no wonder he looks so shabby. A grown man living like that is really shameful!ā At the corner of the wall, Finneas was speechless. Alyssa didn't want Kelly to talk about her brother that way, so she quickly asked, āKelly, why did you come here today?ā āOh! It's been a month since school started. The administrator asked me when you're going to register. If you don't go soon, the school will consider it a voluntary withdrawal.ā Kelly said quickly. Alyssa bit her lip and didn't respond. āIs it because of the tuition fees?ā Kelly looked around the room and then said, āYou can apply for a study loan! No matter what, getting into Jacaster University is not easy. Are you really going to give up?ā āI don't want to give up, but I can't get my study loan application approved.ā Alyssa smiled bitterly. āWhy is that?ā āBecause my verification of disadvantaged background status didn't pass!ā āD*mn! How is that even fair? How can they not consider you disadvantaged? Why didn't they approve it? This is outrageous!ā Kelly said angrily. Alyssa wore a bitter expression and didn't reply. She knew that even if she told Kelly, it wouldn't help. Kelly came from an ordinary family, and if they got involved with those people, they'd be in trouble too. She didn't want Kelly to experience what she went through last night. As for calling the police? After she reported it yesterday, two big guys came to kidnap her at night. She didn't believe it was a coincidence. āIs it because of the relocation? Do they want to force you to sell the land cheaply?ā Kelly asked keenly in a low voice. Alyssa nodded silently. Kelly clenched her teeth in anger. āD*mn! These b*stards only bully a girl. If you had a man in your family, they wouldn't dare bully you!ā Hearing this, Alyssa felt a pang in her heart. The situation had become serious enough that even having a man in the family might not solve it. āForget it! I don't plan to go to university anymore. It isn't worth it. I'm alone, so it's fine if I can get by. I'll just live each day as it comes.ā āNo, if necessary, I'll talk to the administrator and ask the classmates to donate for you.ā āKelly, I can't live off others forever! Besides, going to university isn't always a good thing. I plan to work and see the world.ā Alyssa forced a smile. Just then... Bang! The door was forcefully pushed open from the outside, and Finneas strode in. This scene stunned the two girls in the room. āNo, Lyssie, you have to go to college. Don't worry about the money; I'll take care of it!ā Finneas' face was dark with anger. He couldn't believe his sister was skipping university because of money! He was a powerful Golden Core cultivator and couldn't stand the thought of his sister not having money for school. His heart ached. If he hadn't eavesdropped, he wouldn't have known any of this! And the verification documents? Who was stopping them from being approved? How dare they bully Alyssa? They all deserve to die! At that moment, Finneas had an overwhelming urge to kill those who dared to bully Alyssa. āAre you insane? Trespassing into a private residence is illegal!ā Kelly quickly shielded Alyssa behind her and glared at Finneas. āI'm Lyssie's brother!ā Finneas replied calmly. āBrother?ā Kelly looked skeptical and then turned to Alyssa for confirmation. Alyssa had just said he was a scavenger here to take a dump.ā āMy brother died ten years ago. This guy must be some nutcase.ā Alyssa replied expressionlessly. āDid you hear that? You nutcase, leave now! Otherwise, I'll call the police. Don't think you can bully us just because we're two girls!ā Kelly shouted. Finneas took a deep breath and slowly said, āLyssie, whether you acknowledge me or not, you have to go to university. And Kelly, I'm going out to earn the tuition money now. I'll be back before dark. Take care of Lyssie for me. I'm afraid she might do something stupid.ā After saying this, Finneas turned and left, quickly disappearing from their sight. This scene left Kelly stunned, her face filled with confusion. Jacaster University's tuition is over five thousand a year. How can a man who can't even afford new clothes earn that in a few hours? āHe must be crazy! I heard that insane people aren't held responsible for murder. Good thing he left voluntarily,ā Kelly said, patting her chest in relief. Alyssa felt conflicted and remained silent. She thought he had returned to fight for the relocation compensation, but now she wasn't so sure. Maybe he really did not have a choice back then. Should I accept if he brings back over five thousand for my tuition? Alyssa was lost in thought. Her eyes gradually lost focus, drifting into memories of her childhood. Chapter 5 A Hundred Thousand To Solve Your Problem After leaving home, Finneas ran directly to the city center of Jacaster. With his speed, a forty-kilometer journey was merely a matter of minutes. If he flew using his sword, it would only take a minute, but the city center was crowded, so he chose not to fly. As for making money? Finneas had numerous ways to earn it. Setting up arrays, refining medicines, making talismans, treating illnesses, and geomancy were all within his expertise. Any one of these could bring in a fortune. After a brief moment of thought, Finneas arrived at a market in North Jacaster. This market, known as Jaskait Market, wasn't the largest in Jacaster but was undoubtedly the most diverse. Everything was sold here, from daily necessities and home remedies to gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and emeralds. You could even find a few fortune-tellers, exorcists, and those skilled in geomancy. The market's chaotic and mixed composition made it a lawless area, where even the city council avoided interference. Finneas found an empty spot, sat cross-legged, and wrote on the ground with a red brick: Rent me for two hours: Master of all trades, price negotiable. Having set up, Finneas closed his eyes and waited for someone in need to approach. The bustling market quickly spread the word about his offer, and many people came to take a look, but no one inquired further. His claim of being a master of all trades was too exaggerated. Even a deity wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim. Liar! They assumed he was a con artist. People surrounded Finneas, pointing and discussing. Some came to mock him with absurd questions like, āCan you cure impotence?ā or āCan you increase its length by five centimeters?ā Finneas ignored these obviously mocking inquiries. Meanwhile, in a black Hummer parked nearby, a group of men observed Finneas closely through the window. One of them spoke to a middle-aged man in the back seat. āBoss, this guy is too young. He's definitely bluffing. We should look elsewhere. If we don't find a solution soon, there could be major trouble at the construction site.ā āFinding an expert in exorcism isn't easy,ā the middle-aged man said with a sigh. He was Cameron Wheeler, chairman of a large construction company in Jacaster. Recently, strange occurrences plagued his company's construction site. Workers reported hearing children crying at night, and those who investigated found nothing. When the workers returned to their dormitory, the sounds of crying from outside resonated once more. Last night, a worker claimed to have seen a weasel smiling at him when he went to the toilet. It asked, āYoung man, do I look like a human or an immortal?ā The worker had never encountered such a bizarre incident. He didn't dare to respond at all and fled straight back to his dorm. However, as soon as he returned, he fell seriously ill and couldn't get up. Despite going to the hospital, they couldn't diagnose anything wrong with him. He was still lying in the hospital now. Desperate, Cameron personally led a team to Jaskait Market to find an expert. They found several seemingly powerful experts, but all turned out to be frauds. Cameron rubbed his temples in frustration. The project was worth over two billion, with a potential profit of one billion for him. Delays were costing him heavily. āBoss, I heard there's an expert in South Jacaster.ā āThat old guy's a fraud. I know better than you.ā āWhat should we do then?ā āI'm not paying you to ask me questions! Useless fools!ā With his keen hearing, Finneas had already overheard the conversation in the Hummer. This sparked an idea, and he shouted, āMaster of all trades, especially skilled in exorcism! Come to me if you need help!ā After that, he began packing up, acting as if he were leaving. At this moment, a middle-aged man rushed out of the Hummer and shouted, āYoung man, wait!ā Gotcha! Finneas smirked and paused, scrutinizing the man. The man had a square face and thick eyebrows, exuding an aura of authorityālikely someone from either the underworld or high social standing. Regardless, he wasn't an ordinary person. Most importantly, a dark aura surrounded the man's forehead, showing that he was facing imminent danger. It was a sign only visible to someone with Finneas' spiritual vision. āLet me introduce myself. I'm Cameron Wheeler, and Iāā āI have limited time. Get to the point.ā Finneas acted like an arrogant expert. Cameron eyed Finneas, then explained the situation at the construction site. āWhere is your construction site?ā āIt's situated roughly fifty kilometers from the eastern suburbs, at the foot of Mount Riveria,ā Cameron replied. Hearing that, Finneas had a rough idea. They were in the modern era, but spiritual energy still existed, leading to the birth of demons. The workers likely encountered a mischievous weasel that had a quest for immortality. This wasn't to imply that the weasel was truly on the verge of becoming an immortal. Rather, it had lived for a considerable amount of time and developed spiritual intelligence. Thus, it resorted to unorthodox methods to satisfy its primal desires. Such creatures would be terrified of Finneas. However, he deliberately asked, āThere are many experts in this market. Why approach me?ā āForget it. They're all charlatans here to fish for fame,ā Cameron responded coldly, then continued, āI know what you mean. If you can handle this, I'll pay you twenty thousand.ā Finneas looked straight at Cameron and said calmly, āMr. Wheeler, this isn't a simple matter. It's beyond dire! Forgive me for being direct, but if this situation is not addressed soon, your site and even you will face danger. Have you been sleeping poorly lately? Cameron's heart skipped a beat. He knew the situation was dire. The site had been shut down for days, costing him tens of thousands daily. If this situation were to continue, he would suffer huge losses. Moreover, he had felt watched at night recently. However, when he switched on the lights, there was nothing around. That made him terrified. Cameron initially doubted Finneas. He was desperate to try anything. After hearing Finneas' words, he was filled with shock. Is this poker-faced man a true expert? āYoung man, what do you suggest?ā āRaise the price.ā Cameron looked at Finneas. Rather than feeling angry, he was surprisingly delighted inside. Asking for more money indicated confidence. āHow much?ā āA hundred grand. I guarantee to resolve your problem!ā Finneas replied calmly. | LEARN_MORE | https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html? | Wonderful story | https://www.facebook.com/100083193069340/ | 18,696 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | page.tapon.com | IMAGE | https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?lang=en&id=8278&brand=3&app=0&ppid=5251&pid=FBW2A&utm_source=FBW2A&utm_medium={{placement}}&utm_campaign={{campaign.id}}&utm_term={{adset.id}}&utm_content={{ad.id}}&badid={{ad.id}}&pixel_id=586505356679202&bacid=7916C20EFCF1BC2302E51717E910B7453664B9A65C34FBBBE6855F64C0ACB33B876883D1BF94D3F0A0449D3ADDA4526B06C20950F4D13F34&badid={{ad.id}}&ori_campaign_id=120213303078620213&ori_adset_id=120213303080390213&ori_ad_id=120213303089760213 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/469011811_562670406513628_8089586616829222609_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=OYvokVw4TKoQ7kNvgECwsVO&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&_nc_gid=AlArnXzcqEDu_ykHjFCtTNV&oh=00_AYCigt-u9mQ5KeSuE0h8JNtbMgsdi3PciZWEv0v9DA3exA&oe=67596E56 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Wonderful story | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I was not very sure what Pierce thought but marrying him was a dream come true for me. And now what was more exciting, we were going to welcome our first child. āItās a good thing youāre cautious. You couldāve lost your baby, Miss Monroe.ā The GYN told me seriously as she could see the shock in my eyes. I subconsciously touched my belly, and still couldn't believe a baby was lying there. Had I heard it right? I was pregnant? I was pregnant with a baby for Pierce! My best friend and my first crush! On the way out of the hospital, I couldnāt wait to tell Pierce about our baby. I wondered what his reaction would be. Would he scream in happiness? Would he kiss me and all? God! I couldnāt contain my happiness. I cupped my red face as I fantasized. But the moment I felt the cold from the simple ring on my finger, my wildly beating heart calmed down. I almost forgot that Pierce wasn't the type to be keen on having children, especially when our marriage was arranged by his family. Pierce was a complete gentleman, both as a friend and a husband. Every time we had sex, he was considerate but cautious, saying there was no need to add extra shackles when we were not ready. This baby, in a way, was out of plan. My mind was becoming restless as I sat in my car. Would this be good news for him? What if Pierce was still not ready for the baby? "Ma'am, is everything okay? Do you need to call the Boss?" My private driver Luke asked worriedly as he noticed my frown face. Luke was reliable like a family but if I chose to share, I still wanted Pierce to be the first to know this news. He's my baby's father. "No," I shook my head, giving Luke a reassuring smile. "He's on the flight. I'll talk to him later myself." So that I could sense his answer directly from his raw expressions. I was always good at that. I closed my eyes recalling the first day we met. His bright smile in the sunlight was so dazzling, he was a Prince. Long before we became best friends, I fell in love with him at first sight. But it was only an unrequited love, I knew it well. I slid down the car window to get some fresh air but accidentally caught a glimpse of our old high school. That bitter feeling filled my chest once again. Pierce is my first love but I'm not his. In high school, I was only a boring nerd in other's eyes while Pierce Anderson was the shining Quarterback. Everyone was surprised that we could be friends. Though enmity rose, I enjoyed being around him. I slowly realized that I didn't want just to be his friend. However, right when I was about to confess my feelings to him, another girl came into his life. I shook my head trying to get rid of those sad old memories. I gripped the cold wedding ring on my finger, telling myself the past was past. Pierce said they were over and I was his wife now. I was his wife who was carrying his baby now. I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and opened the door to our house. My heart calmed down as I breathed in the scent of home. Our home. It wasn't as luxurious as his family's villa but cozy. Pierce and I decorated it together with our own hands. We enjoyed it. Yes, I must have been overthinking. That woman had been out of our lives for a long time and my marriage with Pierce was as beautiful as a fairy tale for the past three years. I glanced at the clock on the wall. At this point, Pierce should have gotten off the plane. He was over a month of traveling for the sake of our familyās business. Pierce was the President of ADE, the leading fashion magazine company all over Asia, and I was actually the Vice President of the company. We were not only life partners but also good partners at work. I really missed him. I dialed his number immediately. I really wanted to hear his voice now, to know when he would arrive home. I would prepare a good meal for him and he would prize me with a sweet kiss. And then we might have passionate sex like what he gave me the night before his business trip. Oops, I almost forgot I was pregnant now. I needed to tell him this first and then we could do something else instead. I was happily envisioning our lovely reunion and my heart dropped when a woman's voice came over the line. [Hello?] I snapped the phone as just one word came out. My phone fell to the floor and my body started shaking uncontrollably. NO! It couldn't be her! It couldn't be Lexi! She was already out of our life! I must have misheard. I rushed to the fridge in an attempt to calm myself with the aid of some alcohol. But the moment I touched the wine bottle, I was reminded of the doctor's words and my baby. I needed to be cautious for my baby's sake. I turned to get a box of milk and walked toward the sofa. I didn't know what made me recognize that as Lexi's voice at that moment. I meant Lexi and I were never close. Lexi Gilbert was a typical blonde beauty that men would go crazy for. She was the popular cheerleader in high school while Pierce was the star quarterback. Better match than he and a nerd like me, right? It wasn't surprising that he had fallen for her. My pride couldn't stand watching the man I loved go crazy for another woman. So I had once tried to stay away from them silently but Pierce refused to quit from my life. Every time I drowned myself in a sea of books and studies to forget them, Pierce would appear at my doorway asking me out. I couldn't say no to his charming smile; I couldn't say no when he claimed it was his duty as my best friend to take me to enjoy the real world. To not ruin our friendship, I could only hide my broken heart, silently playing the role of his best friend by his side and watching his happy face for another girl. I finally got up the courage to study abroad as I learned that Pierce was planning to propose to Lexi. However, I never expected Grams would call to beg me back. I returned in a hurry only to see a lifeless Pierce. His heart was harmed badly, by Lexi. My beloved sunshine boy was nowhere to be seen, and my heart was bleeding. I started to hate Lexi from that moment. I gave up my cherished man to her, and how dared she harm him so badly! That witch! Pierce didn't tell anyone what happened except he was over with Lexi. Grams arranged our marriage. I didn't understand why he agreed until the day I heard him say that marrying anyone but Lexi would be the same for him. It was so fcking hurt but I still walked into this marriage without a second thought. My cherished boy was broken and I wanted to fix him, not caring if I would ruin myself in the process. I fell asleep at home feeling so insecure and worried. I woke up in the middle of the night when I felt someone caressing my cheek. Slowly, I opened my eyes and I realized I had fallen asleep in the living area. Someone lifted me from the couch. I immediately recognized his scent and touch as I looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes. āPeirceā¦ā āHmm,ā he hummed as he walked towards the stairs. āWhy did you sleep on the couch?ā I stared at his face when he gently put me down on the bed. He caressed my hair and kissed my forehead. He was always so gentle and that was why I loved him so much. Even when making love, he was very considerate of my feelings. We'd been apart for over a month, my body missed him and my heart wanted him. āWhere have you been? Iāve been waiting for you,ā I said as I caressed his cheek. āJust met a friend. You said you were waiting for me, is it something urgent?" Looking at his gentle face, suddenly I didn't want to ruin the moment. so I closed my parted lips and swallowed the truth back in my stomach once again. Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, I will have the courage to face all the puzzles. I shook my head and pouted, telling him that I was sleepy. He chuckled and carefully carried me to the bed. The moment he was about to leave me after giving me a goodnight kiss, I panicked for some reason. I then quickly grabbed him and kissed him with all my passion, trying to undress him, trying to make him touch me more and deeper. I missed him. I wanted him. I felt that the only way I could feel at ease was to let him put himself inside me again. To make sure he was still mine. "Wait Kels," Yet he stopped me by pinning my crazy hands on the bed. "I thought you said you're sleepy and you need to rest." "But I think I miss you more now." I looked at him with innocence and I could catch desire flashing in his eyes but I didn't know why it faded soon. He used to be happy when I became the initiative one. As if noticing my confusion, he chuckled and playfully pinched my nose, āIāll just take a shower. I smell alcohol.ā I just nodded and watched him as he walked toward the bathroom. But drowsiness struck again so I closed my eyes to take a nap. However, it was already morning when I opened my eyes again and Pierce was beside me, putting a tray of food on the bedside table. āHey!ā I greeted and smiled when I realized what heād done. He prepared breakfast for me. In bed. The sweetest. He smiled and sat on the bed. āGood morning.ā I grinned as I sat on the bed. He carried the tray and put it beside me. I shot an eyebrow up and tilted my head as I stared at his handsome face. His eyes are deep brown. His eyebrows were thick and black, complimenting his beautiful eyes. His nose was proud and pointed and his lips were red and thin. He literally looks like a sexy bad boy. Even Damon Salvatore would be embarrassed to stand beside him. No one stands a chance against this man. āWhat is this? Is this a bribe? You stood me up last night, bad boy.ā He didnāt laugh. He heaved a sigh and gently tucked my hair on my ears before he held my hand and stared into my eyes. āI have something to tell you.ā I felt my heart race. I thought about our baby in my womb. Heās got something to tell. I have something to tell him too. āW-What is it?ā I asked as I felt my voice tremble. He took a deep sigh. āYou know youāre important to me, right?ā I slowly nodded with parted lips. I couldnāt answer. Iām scared of what heās about to say. I have a bad feeling about this. āYou were my best friend before we got married. You are one of the few people I treasureā¦ā I hid my balled fists under the sheet. I donāt know why heās telling me all this but I felt tears pooling in the corner of my eyes already. āKellyā¦ā he paused and squeezed his eyes closed before he looked at me again in the eyes. āI-I think itās time for us to divorce.ā āP-Pierceā¦ā I felt my heart clench. He smiled. āI know you donāt have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them. Now itās time for our real happiness, Kelly.ā I shook my head, āW-What are you talking about, Pierce?ā āLexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back.ā Chapter 2: Chapter 2 It Never Rains but It Pours Kellyās POV I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes. I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought⦠I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high. I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi. āKellyā¦ā I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, āI need to wash up before eating.ā He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him. He sighed and let go of my hand. āOkay. Iāll wait for you here. Letās eat and go to work together.ā Together? How cruel could he be? He still wanted us to get along like he didnāt ask for a divorce? He wanted us to stay the way we were right after he told me that his first love was back and he wanted to divorce me? Oh Pierce, what was going on in your head? If I used to be able to force myself to stay in the seat of his best friend wishing him happiness, I no longer had that courage after the three years we'd shared. There's no way I could endure that kind of torture again, especially when I'm carrying his baby. The baby...I had thought it was good news for us but now...it would be more like a burden to him, I guess. A burden that would prevent him from getting his true love and freedom. I knew how an unwanted child to grow up. My parents were divorced even before my mother died and the new family of my father hated me and it hurts like hell. I donāt want my baby to experience the same thing I felt. I need to keep my baby away from it. I faked a smile again. āWe canāt. I need to visit the studio for the photoshoot of our new modelsā¦ā āIāll go with youāā āNo.ā I pushed his hand. His eyes followed my hand before he lifted his face to look at me again. āYou have some documents to sign. Our schedules are already organized, remember?ā āButā¦ā āI have a personal driver, Pierce. Iāll be fine to go alone.ā He sighed and slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom. I immediately opened the shower and stood under the cold water. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs. My shoulders were trembling really badly and when I thought about my baby, I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down. I wiped my face and caressed my belly. I need to be strong. I need to stay calm. I shouldnāt put my babyās life on the line just because I got my heart broken. I have to deal with this smartly. I sucked my breath and finished my bath. When I got out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Pierce was still there. He was struggling to fix his tie in front of the full-length mirror. I also noticed my pair of heels and dress on the bed. āHey! I picked your dress for today.ā Since our marriage wasn't public, Pierce said he would try to do little things for me as a husband. He did it well and I used to enjoy these sweet moments but now, it was going to kill me. I grabbed the dress and went inside the walk-in closet. I felt him following me. I put the white dress back and picked a red one. When I faced him, his forehead was creased. I smiled. āI prefer red today. Iād feel beautiful in this dress.ā His eyes went to the dress I was holding and his face immediately calmed down. He nodded and walked towards me. āI see. Help me fix this first.ā I put my dress on his arm and started fixing his tie. I could feel his eyes staring intently and it was making my heart beat so fast. I took a deep breath and chewed my bottom lip as I struggled to fix the tie. My vision is becoming blurry again. Damn! āKellyā¦ā I jumped in shock. āHmm?ā āAre you okay?ā I looked at him and smiled, āYeah.ā āI have another thing to say.ā I finished fixing his tie so I immediately grabbed the dress from him. I glanced at him before I walked past him and spoke⦠āLetās just talk some other time. I'm going to be late.ā I heard him sigh as he followed me again. I grabbed my underwear and got dressed while he was standing behind me. Heās silent the whole time as if heās thinking about something. āYou should eat before you leave.ā I faced him and nodded. āI will. You should go now.ā āKelly, weāre on the same page, right?ā I stared at him. No, Pierce. Weāre never on the same page. All of these are just my stupid fantasies. I thought you had feelings for me and I was so wrong. āIf itās about the divorce, I understand everything, Pierce. I know what I have to do. Just give me some time because Iām really busy with the company. I will not run away.ā āKelly, Iām not just doing this for myself. Iām also doing this for you. Youāve been caged with me ever since we got married. I know youāre not happy because deep inside, you also want to find the man you deserve. Someone who will really love you. Not me. Not someone whoās half-hearted.ā āI understand what youāre trying to say, Pierce,ā I said and tried to turn my back but he held me by the waist, keeping me in place. He did everything to capture my eyes and he succeeded. He looked at me worriedly. āYou are my best friend. I donāt wanna lose you, Kels. Youāre one of my few peopleā¦ā āI know,ā I said out of frustration. He looked shocked, so I calmed myself down. āI-I know. You donāt have to worry. Iām just stressed about work. Itās not about our divorce.ā His lips parted and he slowly nodded as if he was able to breathe properly. He walked towards me and I froze when he gently kissed my forehead⦠āThank you, Kelly," he whispered. My heart clenched. It had been three years but I was still such a coward. Why couldn't you just tell him that you love him, Kelly? He's your husband and you're carrying his baby! Tell him and he might change his mind! I swallowed hard and was about to tell him but his phone rang. I didn't miss the caller ID. Again, it was Lexi. " I gotta go." He scratched his head in apology and I didn't miss the upturned corners of his mouth. "I called Luke and heās waiting outside. Eat before you go, okay?ā With that, he left our room. The tears I had managed to suppress burst out again. Why would I think I could have a chance? He made his choice already the moment he asked for the divorce, didn't he? Whenever it came to Lexi, I was always the one he would abandon. Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Stiff Upper Lip Kellyās POV I entered the studio wearing just two-inch red heels and a red dress. Everyone was looking my way as I walked along the hallway. Theyāre all greeting me with a smile but my face remains stoic, not showing any emotions at all. The conversation with Pierce this morning was still lingering in my head, but I couldn't let it affect my work. I couldn't fail my work after I failed my marriage. I took a deep breath to adjust my condition. However, when I entered the photoshoot room, I could notice everyone was in chaos. āWe canāt! Sheās not answering her calls. What should we do? The Vice President is coming today. Sheād get mad.ā āWe can just tell her the truth. Sheās nice.ā āNot in this situation, Lily! Sheād scold usāā āWhatās happening here?ā I asked as I graced the room. The staff were now looking at me with worried expressions and I knew then that there was a problem. āG-Good morning, Miss Monroe.ā Miss Monroe. Of course, no one knew that Pierce and I were married except for our families. I felt a pinch in my heart because of that truth. It hurts. I stared at her blankly, āWhat?ā āW-We have a problem, Miss Monroe. Miss Chen, our model has been refusing our calls. She said she heard that weāre changing our model soā¦she doesnāt want to come here. Sheās evenā¦threatening to file a case against us.ā She bowed his head. I gritted my teeth and roamed my eyes around. āWhereās the marketing manager?ā āS-Sheās still trying to convince Miss Chen, Miss Monroe.ā I massaged my forehead and squeezed my eyes closed. I grabbed my hair and screamed in so much anger. I felt everyone around me jump in shock. I groaned and sucked my breath before looking around. āMiss Monroeā¦ā āWhat is this, Miss Hayley? You are the marketing manager, what is happening?ā āMiss Monroe, I donāt know how it happened but Miss Chen heard that you are changing our model. Sheās about to file a case against usāā Changing the model? How come I didn't know about this? Miss Chen had always been our trustful partner and if not necessary, changing models for a commercial shoot on short notice would only cause a lot of trouble for the company. I would never allow such a cheap mistake. āI never asked for that. You must be mistaken." I cut her words to save time, " Fix this mess or I have to fire you!ā "Miss Monroe...It's Mr. President who asked us to change it." Hayley spoke hesitantly. "He ordered that as soon as he came back from his business trip yesterday." I was hit by the truth. Pierce's order? Why didn't he tell me? He used to discuss every major decision with me first. "It shouldn't be..." I was confused. Pierce was not a clueless businessman. He kept a clear distinction between work and relationships, which was why he always succeeded. And that was also why he chose to keep our marriage a secret. "Yes, Kelly. I gave the order." The voice pulled me back. āM-Mr. Presidentā¦ā Hayley bowed with respect as she saw the man who suddenly appeared behind me. "I think you owe me an explanation, Pierce. About changing the model!" I gritted as I turned around to question him. He knew clearly how much effort I put into winning this project. I hardly had a good sleep those days and Miss Chen was the ideal one for us to work with. I remembered he agreed on it too. But now...he just changed the model as he liked without telling me in advance. I felt like a hard slap on my face. "Go ahead for the work. I'll make it clear to her." He pacified the staff first, ignoring the anger that was about to spew out of my eyes. "Answer me, Pierce! Why do you change the model so suddenly?" I couldn't hold my anger and he just touched my shoulder whispering to me, "This is not the place to talk. Let me explain it to you in the car." I looked around to notice others sneaking glances at us. Then I shook away his hands and walked toward the parking lot. But along the way, my heart was heavier and heavier. I had a feeling that I was not going to enjoy his explanation. "Now, say it." I blurted it out as we sat in his car. He stared into my eyes as if weighing my emotions. I looked away again. I couldnāt stand his stares. I couldnāt withstand his eyes that never looked at me the way I wanted him to look at me. He has no feelings for me and it hurts so much. āI-Iā¦ā he paused and sighed. āI replaced Miss Chen because Lexi wants to be our model. Sheās also fit to be our model so I agreedāā āWhat?ā I asked in disbelief. He pressed his lips together and looked away. He messed his hair up before he shook his head and held my hand. āIām sorry I didnāt tell you sooner. It was just so sudden. She asked for a favor and I canāt say no.ā I took my hand back and looked at him in both pain and anger. āYou can't say no to her so you'd rather harm the company, our company. You betrayed me, Pierce.ā āKels, come on. You know how much I love her. Sheās my first love.ā Painfully, I closed my eyes. Oh yes, she's your first love. She's always the one you want no matter what it takes. As long as she frowned a bit, you could turn a blind eye to the pain and effort of others. You are so heartless, Pierce. āWell, youāve decided. I donāt have a say in this since youāre the President. Just go. Iāll be in the office.ā I said coldly as I opened the car door to walk out. āKellyā¦ā I looked him in the eyes. āGo home early. Letās talk about our divorce at home tonight.ā Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Left High and Dry Kellyās POV I was playing with the wedding ring on my finger. I told him to go home early but he didnāt come home completely. He wasnāt even answering my calls. Well, now Lexi was back, this house was probably not home in his eyes anymore. My eyes turned to my pregnancy report on the table. What a mockery. I was still naive to hold a glimmer of hope that things would be different if I told him about the baby. But forget this baby was out of his plan. Sure, Pierce was not the kind who would force me to have an abortion. But he couldn't cut out his obsession with Lexi either. He might stay in this loveless marriage if his parents asked. But all I had would only be an empty shell. That's not a Father what I wanted for my baby. I wiped off the tears collecting at the corner of my eyes and collected the report. It was 5 am already when I looked at the clock on the wall. I tried to dial his number again, but still busy. What was he busy with? Was he busy making love with Lexi? He must have missed her a lot, didn't he? I still remember the day when he came back after his first private vacation with Lexi. His joy was unmistakable. Nearly at once, I could tell they made love. The same day I returned to my room, I cried out loud as I took off my makeup. Nothing I did worked. I could never replace Lexi in his heart. I felt like hundreds of pounds pressing my chest. I decided to get a shower to wash away all the miserable emotions but the moment I opened the wardrobe, our intimate clothes were snuggled together bringing me back to the memory of how Pierce and I had sex here last time. It was that time he didn't use contraception. He was so passionate that I thought he finally accepted our marriage. I once believed his return from this business trip would be a fresh start for us but actually, it was a start for us to fall apart now. Unable to suppress my feelings any longer, I crouched down crying loudly. Why? Why am I always the one they choose to abandon? Why don't I deserve to be loved? I didn't remember how I fell asleep. When the alarm clock went off, I subconsciously touched the pillow beside me. Cold as last night. He didn't come home yet. I sneered at myself as I caught my reflection in the dresser mirror. The dark circles under my eyes were so clear and my hair was a total mess, looking like a ghost. See, Kelly? That's what happened when you stepped into such a loveless marriage without a second thought. You would only break yourself if you continue on the wrong path. Just get a divorce. Spare him and yourself. Your baby needs a strong mommy. Suddenly a wave of nausea flooded my stomach and I realized I hadn't even eaten anything last night. Feeling sick again, I run to the sink and puke. I spit yellowish liquid and it tastes so bad. I washed my mouth immediately and stared at my own reflection in the mirror. I shook my head and cupped my forehead as soon as I felt like throwing up again. I spit yellowish liquid again and while Iām washing my mouth, I feel a warm hand caressing my back. I immediately lifted my face and met a pair of brown eyes looking at me through the mirror. Standing behind me with a worried face was my husband Pierce. Iāve always been thankful that I have him as my best friend and husband but nowā¦Iām losing him. Hopelessly losing him. āAre you okay? Are you not feeling well? You shouldāve told me.ā I stared at him through the mirror. āYou didnāt answer my calls. Guilt flickered in his eyes. āIām sorry. I had some things to do. I stayed in the office all night.ā I wiped my face and walked past him. He followed me as I sat in front of the vanity and started combing my hair. āKelsā¦ā āI woke up late. I failed to prepare breakfast.ā I tried to avoid his eyes. I felt like I would lose my temper and snap at him. There was no moment when I felt his selfishness so clearly as now. He called me his best friend yet he had never seriously confronted my needs. My feelings. "Kels...... you know I'm not asking about this. I'm just worried about your condition......" āKels, are we still okay?ā I stopped combing my hair and slowly met his eyes. Through the mirror, again. Really? Heās asking me that? After he offered me a divorce without even asking if I was okay with it? He decided on his own. Just because his first love is back. I canāt believe him. I faked a smile. āI just donāt feel well today, Pierce.ā He immediately squatted beside me which is not surprising because I know he truly cares. What surprised me is why is he still doing this after he buried a dagger in my heart. āAre you okay?ā He gently touched my forehead and neck. āAre you sick? Tell me how you feel, Kels.ā āMy feelings donāt matter,ā I couldnāt help but blurt out. He looked shocked because of what I said. When I attempted to avoid him, he grabbed my wrist and made me face him. His face is mirroring his anger now. Heās completely lost his patience. āWhatās wrong with you, Kels? Youāve been acting like this since yesterday. Is this about Lexi? Or was it because I didnāt come home last night?ā I looked him in the eyes, annoyed. "You're the one who asked for a divorce! I told you to come back earlier but you just let me wait for the whole night. How do you want me to greet you this morning, Pierce?ā He clenched his jaws and shook his head. āKels, I..." "Enough. We can talk about the divorce after work today." āKels!ā He called and grabbed my shoulders. Confusion and pain were visible in his eyes. āAre youā¦in love with me?ā I was taken aback? In love? Yes! Ever since we were in high school. Ever since he became my best friend. Who wouldnāt fall for someone who has been protecting you ever since? But of course, I canāt tell him. It would only complicate things more. I donāt even want him to pity me. I shook my head and pushed his arms away. āAre you on drugs? Iām not in love with you.ā I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom again. I locked it before going to the bathtub. I should focus on myself. I canāt let my emotions affect me butā¦but why are my tears falling again? āYou are so pathetic, Kelly! You canāt even tell him how you truly feel,ā I whispered to myself as I wiped my tears angrily. It took me almost an hour bathing. When I was done, I realized Pierce had already left. I shook my head in disbelief. Heās been constantly abandoning me. I canāt believe weād reach this point. I thought we were okay. I was so stupid. *** āGood morning, Miss Monroeā¦ā āGood morning, Vice Presidentā¦ā I did not greet anyone back just like how I used to greet them back. I still feel pissed and my mood seems off. Irritation can easily take over me and I canāt control it. Probably because of Pierceās divorce proposal or because of my pregnancy. I was about to enter my office when I heard two girls talking. āDid you see her? I bet sheās Mr. Andersonās girlfriend. They seemed close.ā My forehead creased. Pierceās girlfriend? āAh! Itās a waste that I didn't see her face but I feel like itās Miss Lexi.ā āLexi? Lexi Gilbert? The model?ā āYes! I bet my whole month's salary on this. They look good together.ā āCome on! Miss Monroe and Mr. Anderson look better together.ā āAre you serious? Theyāre best friends. You know, some people are better off just friends. Itās Mr. Anderson and Miss Monroe.ā I squeezed my eyes closed and pushed the door of my office. I slowly closed it and rested my back against it. This is harder than I expected. I took a deep breath and sat on my swivel chair. I opened the computer at the same time a notification popped up on the screen of my phone. My hands started shaking as soon as I saw the notification. It was Pierceās social media update. He uploaded a photo of him and Lexi together. Eating in a fancy restaurant. I balled my fists and gritted my teeth. Of course, thereās no way I can compete with her in his heart. Sheās always the first one and I will always be the last in his priorities. | LEARN_MORE | https://dynamic.lightreader.com/noah-ssg/wn/766754 | Novel new | https://www.facebook.com/61566066291999/ | 1,708 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | dynamic.lightreader.com | VIDEO | https://dynamic.lightreader.com/noah-ssg/wn/766754101/30244563706755305+1+4+facebook?utm_source={{campaign.name}}&utm_campaign={{campaign.id}}&utm_adset={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/469322440_1331024168275240_3474163553728950969_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=KzNon5ssmwkQ7kNvgGgrWCF&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&_nc_gid=AlArnXzcqEDu_ykHjFCtTNV&oh=00_AYAOPmcjEvk6BXAc8TXH7iP9LXkmZEYzAddYwbQpldmyXA&oe=67598251 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Novel new | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

š Santa says: āMarkās novel about a carpenterās family is a perfect ho-ho-holiday gift for the handy person in your life.ā And you donāt want to argue with Santa so close to Christmas, right? š __________________________ šAvailable in paperback, ebook, hardcover: https://tinyurl.com/CarpentersNotebook šAbout āThe Carpenterās Notebookā The answers to living a good life follow the rules of carpentry. With every swing of his hammer and turned page of his fatherās notebook, Brendan tries to fulfill a promise to his late father: Rebuilding his late fatherās old shop into an art studio for his mother. After discovering his fatherās carpenterās notebook, he obtains the inspiration he needs to rebuild his own life and face the challenges heās avoided as a husband and father. āI reached for my tape more like a gunslinger going for his six-shooter than a timid (albeit middle-aged) apprentice afraid to do the wrong thing.ā BONUS: Illustrated how-to of real DIY projects are included throughout the novel. šReviews āA wonderful book about building both houses and relationships...wise, touching, and as satisfying as a hard day s work well-done.ā āBret Witter, Editorial Director, HCI and Publisher of Chicken Soup for the Soul āInspiring work and great reading don t miss it!ā āScott Phillips, host of Public Televisionās American Woodshop and American Homeshop āHome Improvement is a thread that runs through our lives. Mark has woven it into very rich and unique story.ā āDean Johnson, co-host of Hometime | MyFixitUpLife | https://www.facebook.com/MyFixitUpLife/ | 133,758 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | MULTI_IMAGES | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/469479854_1260305961974428_1365481623170907438_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=YxW-eOsXjVgQ7kNvgGsrn61&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&_nc_gid=ACVfsk0zeQ-w6I_9e02LyCv&oh=00_AYAX1kxp2Iygv67kONnOszornfVQ4aCuDsAkbdygBohydg&oe=675958F8 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | MyFixitUpLife | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
