I take a deep breath and comb my other hand through my hair. Hudson gives my hand another squeeze. Looking up at him with a sad smile.<br /> "On my birthday I found my mate. When I first figured it out who he was I ran back home. He came to the party. Sort of. We went somewhere to talk alone. One thing led to another and we mated," I glanced over to Elliott, his hand is tightly gripping his glass. "After that we got into an argument. He rejected me because he wants to stay with the mate he chose. I've been trying to be OK with this but it got complicated today. I'm pregnant. I was having a heated conversation with Conor about what I wanted to do. Hudson was trying to calm me down, I didn't even know he was home. I gave him the black eye. I'm so incredibly sorry."<br /> Tears streaming down my face and my breathing is erratic. Elliott pushes back from the table and throws his glass at the wall making us all jump.<br /> －－－－－－<br /> I walk into the kitchen where my mom already has a towel for me.<br /> "Thanks Mom, "<br /> "Happy birthday my sweet girl"<br /> She wraps the towel around my shoulders and gives me a big hug. I hear her sniffling and I let go.<br /> "What's wrong, Mom?"<br /> "You're finally 18 and that means you'll be able to find your mate today."<br /> "I'm really not trying to think about it Mom. What is he doesn't want me?" Finding my feet more interesting to look at.<br /> My dad stands up from the stool and walks over to me. He hooks finger underneath my chin, making me look up at him.<br /> "He is going to love you. We raised you to be sweet, kind, caring but fierce when you need to be. Don't let any man tell you otherwise. And happy birthday."<br /> He bent down and pecked my forehead. Walking back in the kitchen to clean up dishes from breakfast.<br /> "I think I'm going to go for a run," I say while drying off my hair.<br /> Walking back up the stairs to my room, I can hear Elliott and Hudson laughing. Grabbing a pair of black sweatpants, a T-shirt and new panties, I quickly get changed in the bathroom. Looking in the mirror to see how bad my hair is. Cringing at the mess, I go to brush my hair out.<br /> Once I'm done I head to the kitchen to quickly grab a bowl of cereal. My mom already has the stuff I like out on the counter for me. I walk over to her and give her a peck on the cheek.<br /> "Where did Dad, Hudson and Elliot runoff to?" I said before taking a huge mouth full of cereal.<br /> "They're just getting something from town. They should be back when you come back from your run."<br /> Nodding my head, I finish eating my breakfast. My mom takes my bowl and put it in the dishwasher.<br /> "Thanks Mom. Shouldn't be too long today. Maisie is restless today. She's making me go crazy in here."<br /> Going out the back door I run to the tree lines. I found the tree that we all hide our clothes when we go for runs. Thankfully it got warmer so this isn't terrible. I quickly strip out of my clothes and start to shift.<br /> It doesn't hurt that much anymore, I've been doing it since I was 16. Everyone in the pack begins to shift then but only when you turn 18 is when you can find your mate.<br /> Shaking my silver fur out, I run deeper into the forest.<br /> "Maisie, why are you so restless?"<br /> "I just have a feeling we are going to meet our mate today"<br /> "I don't wanna get your hopes up if it doesn't happen. Trust me I'm just as nervous and excited but it took Hudson six months to find his and she wasn't even from this pack."<br /> "Let's just try to enjoy the run before the party tonight."<br /> About halfway through my run I stop suddenly. The most intoxicating smell is driving me crazy. It smells like pine trees with sandalwood and a little bit of chocolate.<br /> "That is our mate!"<br /> I follow the smell, running as fast as i can. Once I get to the top of the hill, I can see him. Well I can only see the back of him, but even still he is the most handsome man I have seen. He's not wearing a shirt, his back muscles contract as he does push-ups. His hair shaved on the sides and longer on the top. It's the darkest black I've seen.<br /> At that moment he must smell me because he gets up slowly. All of his muscles are tense as he turns around. Once I can see who he is the excitement drains from my body. No way!<br /> He takes one step toward us. I turn around and run towards home.<br /> "Turn back around! That's our mate!" Maisie whines.<br /> "I know! But we can't be with him and I know you know why."<br /> Maisie whimpers because she understands. Our soul is broken in that moment.<br /> I reached the tree and quickly get changed. I run back into the house trying to keep my tears from falling until I get to my room. My family is in the living room as a sprint past them.<br /> "How was your run?" My dad asks.<br /> Ignoring all of them, I run up the stairs to my bedroom. Slam the door closed and jump in to my bed. Soon as my head hits my pillow, I can't stop the tears now.<br /> Why did it have to be him? He knew for two years and never once said anything to me about it. Of course my mate is Royal.<br /> ...<br /> The party is a blast. Basically half of the pack it's here in the house. Chloe and Emily are doing a great job at keeping my brothers distracted.<br /> Jade and I are dancing in the living room with Conor and Eli. The four of us have been best friends since preschool. Since we graduated high school, we have been inseparable all summer.<br /> While I'm dancing with Conor, I get the feeling that someone is watching me. I try looking around to see who it is but both of my brothers are nowhere to be seen.<br /> "I'm going to go outside for a couple minutes. I need to cool down," I yell at my friends.<br /> Walking through the giant crowd in the living room, I go into the kitchen to grab some water and make my way to the backyard.<br /> There are a couple people outside mingling. They all wish me happy birthday. I walk across the patio and take a seat on the floating chair.<br /> I still feel like someone's watching me. But as I go to stand up, the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up. I freeze breathing in deeply. That intoxicating smell makes a small shiver run through my body. I slowly turn my head towards the tree line.<br /> Royal is standing against a tree. I can't look away from him. It's like everything else in the world just doesn't exist. He motions for me to follow him as he turns around.<br /> Maisie is hollering at me to follow him. I really want to. Honestly, I did not expect him to show up. That gives me some hope. Maybe Maisie is right, maybe he wants to explain. My heart quickly over powers my mind and I followed him into the woods.<br /> ...<br /> Once I'm all dressed, I turn around to see him facing the opposite direction. All of his muscles are tense and he is shaking. I slowly walk up to him and touch his arm. He shakes off my arm and growls at me. I take a couple steps back.<br /> "We should have never done that," he says clearly angry.<br /> My whole body stiffens. He turns around to look at me.<br /> "You're the one who knew that I was your mate for two years! You never said anything to me! And yet you still stayed with Cassie! You chose her over me!" I snapped back at him.<br /> "You're right I did choose Cassie, because I love her and I have loved her since we were 10 years old! And I will continue to choose Cassie!"<br /> I can't hold back the tears anymore. Keeping my arms at my sides, I dig my finger nails into my palms.<br /> "So you're going to choose her knowing that you have a mate, the other half of your soul, because you've been together for 10 years."<br /> "Yes."<br /> "You are so unbelievably selfish. Denying with the moon goddess wanted, what our wolves need!" I yell at him."So why did you just mate me!?"<br /> "Because my wolf was going insane without you. He wanted me to mark you but I can't do that. I won't do it!" He growls at me, taking a step closer to me.<br /> Tears running down my cheeks as I bend my head down and let out a sob. I can see Royals feet standing in front of me.<br /> "Look at me," He says roughly.<br /> I shake my head no. My whole body trembling for what I know is coming.<br /> He hooks finger underneath my chin and pushes my head up so I'm looking into his eyes. I take a step back so I don't feel the tingling.<br /> "Please. Don't do this," I beg him.<br /> "I, Royal Anderson, reject you Victoria West," he says and walks away.<br /> I fall to my knees, my hand over my heart has I gasp in air. Maisie is whining. Our soul crushed. I let out a mix between a scream and a sob into the forest.<br /> I wait about 15 minutes trying to collect myself. I start to walk back home.<br /> "Why would he do this to us?" Maisie whimpers.<br /> "Because he's an prick. He loves Cassie. He doesn't want us Maisie! We are going to be better off without him," I snapped back at her.<br /> "But you know that we need him."<br /> "We don't need any man, especially one like Royal. We are going to have to be strong together. We will be strong."<br /> Stepping back onto the patio, Jade comes out.<br /> "I have been looking everywhere for yo-" she stops as soon as she sees my face.<br /> Tears start running down my face again. I hug her as tight as I can.<br /> "He rejected me," I cry into her shoulder.<br /> "Let's go upstairs and you can tell me everything while I fix your make up," she says well wiping some of the tears off my face.<br /> We both run upstairs and I tell her everything except who he is. I can't have any of us acting differently around him. Is my family finds out at him, it's going to cause all kinds of problems. He's Alpha and my dad is still one of the head warriors.<br /> Finishing my make up, we had back downstairs. The party just blurs together. My heart is breaking. I know we can get through this. We have to.<br /> ...<br /> 6 weeks later<br /> The first week after Royal rejected me I stayed in bed. My parents were worried, both of my brothers tried to get me to talk about what was wrong and Jade was with me every single day.<br /> After that the weeks have gone by quickly. Jade and I have been out every day. Either at the pool, driving around in the Jeep with Conor and Eli and enjoying the summer.<br /> Every morning we decided to go on runs together. That has been super helpful. Conor and Eli don't know I was rejected. Only Jade knows. I think my dad suspects something happened with my mate but he hasn't asked yet.<br /> The four of us are on our way to the store to pick up some things for the pool. We each pick out a new raft. The boys are going to grab snacks while Jade and I go to find more tanning oil and sunscreen.<br /> We both grab a couple of each and start walking toward the registers.<br /> "Oh wait! While we're here I need to grab more tampons before next week," Jade says that she grabs my arm and pulls me down the aisle.<br /> As she is looking for hers, I'm lost in my own thoughts. I normally get my period before hers. Counting back to the days quickly, trying to figure out how late I am. She finds what she's looking for and tosses it into the cart.<br /> "Are you OK?" She asks.<br /> I look at her, my eyes are wide and I shake my head no. I can't even get the words out. I swallow hard trying to find the nerve to speak. Thank the moon goddess I don't have to, she looks up at me and gasps.<br /> "Oh, you're late," she says with a hand over her mouth.<br /> Conor and Eli find us as we both just stare at each other.<br /> "We got everything we need," Eli says. Dumping everything into the cart.<br /> "Why don't you guys go check out, we both want to go and look at something real quick," Jade quickly says shoving the cart at Conor and shooing them away.<br /> With them quickly gone we both quickly run to get tests. I grab the box with three of them. We check out quickly at the pharmacy and I hide the test in my purse.<br /> We quickly meet up with the boys in the parking lot loading up the Jeep. I get in the driver side and start of the Jeep. Once we are all loaded up, we had back home.<br /> Pulling into the driveway, we all grab bags and head inside. We leave all the snacks out on the kitchen island.<br /> "We're going to go outside and start blowing up the rafts. Go get changed so we can go swimming," Connor says.<br /> We both run upstairs and slam my bedroom door. I grab the test box out of my purse and open it up.<br /> "I feel like sick to my stomach," I tell Jade.<br /> "Well good thing you're already going to be in the bathroom," she deadpans. "Grab your swimsuit, go pee on those and by the time we're both done getting ready they should be ready," Jade says calmly.<br /> I grab my bikini and the three tests, closing the bathroom door. I quickly take all three and to turn them over. Getting changed into my bikini. I can't stop my hands from shaking. Trying to take deep breaths as I pace back-and-forth.<br /> Going up to the counter I turn all three over and look down. I pick one up and read the word, pregnant.<br /> I yell checking the other two.<br /> I open the bathroom door, Jade looks up at me. Couple tears fall down my cheeks and she's instantly hugging me.<br /> "I'm going to be a mom," I say softly as my whole body shakes.<br /> "You are going to be the best mom. You don't need him. He doesn't deserve anything," she replies.<br /> Conor and Eli come in. Stopping dead in their the tracks to try to piece and what's going on. Conor spots the test in my hand and looks up at me. I let go of Jade to stand in front of them.<br /> Eli looks over at Conor but Conor won't take his eyes off of me.<br /> "Are you really?" Conor whispers.<br /> Nodding my head, he instantly grabs me up in a hug. Resting his chin on my head. He pecks the top of my head. He puts both of his hands on the side of my face and makes me look at him, using his thumbs to wipe away my tears.<br /> "Who?" He asks gently.<br /> "My mate. My birthday, I found him. We mated and he did not mark me. He rejected me right after." I say sobbing.<br /> Eli and Conor both growl wildly. I look over at Eli and his eyes are almost black. He runs out of my room as I yelled for him to come back. He slams the front door and shifts. Running to the woods.<br /> The three of us go downstairs silently and start making lunch. I can't stop my hands from shaking. I grabbed everything we need for outside and set it outside on the table.<br /> I sit down in the chair staring off at the tree line waiting for Eli to come back. Jade squeezes my hand.<br /> "He'll be back soon. He just needs to wolf out. He's not mad at you," Jade says.<br /> "No I'm not mad at you. I am mad at that jack hip," Eli says coming over to give me a hug.<br /> He hugs me tightly picking me up. Setting me down gently,pecking my forehead and taking a seat next to Conor. We all eat our lunch.<br /> Grabbing my new floaty, I place it on the edge so I can climb in and rest on it. They join me a couple minutes later.<br /> "I have to tell my family today," I say randomly.<br /> "We can be there when you do, if you want," Jade says and both guys agree.<br /> "No. I have to do this alone. And I have to come up with a plan on what I'm going to do. I can't stay here."<br /> "What do you mean you can't stay here?! Your family is here and we are here!" Conor yells.<br /> "And so is my mate who rejected me for someone else!" I snap back.<br /> I jump off my float and into the water. Swimming over to the steps to get out. I grab my towel and dry off my face.<br /> "You think I want to leave?! Do you think it's going to be easy to say goodbye to you three and my family?! I have to do this alone! The one person who is supposed to be there, who was made to be my other half, mated me, rejected me to be with someone else and now I'm pregnant with his pup! He doesn't get to know, he doesn't deserve to get a say in this kids life anymore!" I holler while sobbing.<br /> All three of them look at me. Not saying a thing. Because they know I'm right. An arm wraps around my shoulders and I growl spinning around and punch whoever just grabbed me in the eye.<br /> All three of them rush out of the pool. Eli scoops me up and carries me over to the recliner. Jade rushed over to who I punched and Conor runs inside for a ice pack.<br /> I'm shaking and I don't know if it's because of the anger or being scared. Conor gives Jade one ice pack then slowly walks over towards me.<br /> "I won't punch you. I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry."<br /> "You just went into protective mama mode on Hudson's hip," Conor says chuckling.<br /> I let Conor wrap my hand in the ice pack. I rest my head on his shoulder.<br /> "Did he hear me yelling?" I whisper.<br /> "Unfortunately, I heard every word," Hudson says.

I quickly left the hotel room, scared to see his embarrassment in the morning.<br /> <br /> One month later — PREGNANCY TEST: POSITIVE<br /> “It’s just you and me from now on my little angel.” I could never tell Logan, not with him seeing me as his little sister.<br /> “Lacey!” Logan burst into a panic waking up in an empty hotel room that morning.<br /> I didn’t expect that the next six years would drive Logan insane.<br /> He was not able to find me, the love of his life…<br /> ---<br /> 'Sometimes the strongest women are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors and fight battles that nobody knows about'<br /> ~ Farzana Baig<br /> <br /> Italy.<br /> Spain.<br /> France.<br /> England.<br /> Australia.<br /> There are so many amazing options but I can only pick one yet whichever one I pick is one which could strongly impact the rest of my life or at least the next few years of my life because this isn't just a vacation, it's more of a temporary staycation.<br /> "Can I help you, ma'am?"<br /> An effeminate voice with a southern twang asks me.<br /> I narrow my eyes from the board on the wall to the young man behind the desk who was looking at me with a big, bright smile on his glossy lips.<br /> "Actually, you can...do you fancy playing Russian roulette with me?"<br /> I ask him with a smile and he looks at me like I've lost my qmind.<br /> "Ma'am...this is an airport, it's not a casino"<br /> He says and I chuckle.<br /> "I know that, sir, I'm just looking to get away from New York for a little while but I'm stuck on where to go"<br /> I say and he rolls his eyes in a jokey and semi-serious kind of way.<br /> "Let me guess, you're running away from a boy?"<br /> "Got it in one"<br /> I say while nodding my head and smiling.<br /> Dylan Tate is definitely a little boy.<br /> Grown men who are mature don't do what he did.<br /> "You really shouldn't let a man run you out of your own home, honey because the moment you give a man that type of power and control, it's hard to get it back"<br /> "Well, it's kind of hard to stay here when my fiance screwed my brother behind my back"<br /> I say angrily while smiling a sad and pained smile as the guy behind the desk gasps dramatically and clutches at his invisible pearls.<br /> "Oh my"<br /> He says as he straightens his jacket and looks at me with a shocked and sympathetic expression.<br /> "Well, if I can make a suggestion...London is always beautiful at this time of year"<br /> London.<br /> I think to myself as I smile a real and genuine smile.<br /> This is the first time in four whole weeks that I've smiled like this.<br /> I've always wanted to visit London, England but for some reason, it just never happened.<br /> "The UK has also got a lot of historical and cultural spots if you're interested in that type of stuff, not to mention their nightlife is lit"<br /> He says the last bit while doing a little twerk before quickly getting himself together and looking around to see if anyone had seen him do it.<br /> "Sorry ma'am, that wasn't professional at all"<br /> "Don't worry about it"<br /> I said while chuckling.<br /> "It looks like I'm going to London then, when does the next flight leave?"<br /> "In twenty minutes, ma'am"<br /> "Great, book me a seat please, oh and make sure it's one way"<br /> I say and the guy looks up at me with sympathetic eyes.<br /> He then arranges my ticket for me and books me on the next flight to London.<br /> I was so excited but I was also feeling really nervous as well, especially when I was handed my ticket and I was told what gate I had to go to.<br /> The reason why I felt this way is because this meant it was real, I was really leaving not just New York but also America, my home and right now with how I'm feeling, it's going to be for good.<br /> I thank the worker who wishes me good luck as I head towards my gate and take a seat letting out a sigh as I did.<br /> The past four weeks have been super freaking crazy and stressful for me and I just can't wait to get away for a little while so that I can get over recent events, get myself together and work on myself mentally.<br /> I take a sip of my water as my mind drifts back to four weeks ago when all of this mess started.<br /> My fiance Dylan Tate and I were hosting our engagement party at the Ritz Carlton and it was supposed to be the party of the century.<br /> The Carpenter, Black and Tate families are the top three most powerful, influential and richest families in New York's elite and the fact that two of these families were joining together through marriage was a big freaking deal but I didn't care about any of that.<br /> I loved Dylan and I had loved him ever since I first set my eyes on him when I was sixteen, we were childhood sweethearts and had dated each other ever since our high school days.<br /> He's the love of my life, the man of my dreams, so when he proposed to me in Bali, the answer was a given and I couldn't have been any happier but then my whole world came crashing down the night of my engagement party, the night that was supposed to be one of the best nights of my life turned into pure hell.<br /> What happened was, Dylan had gone AWOL right before we were supposed to make the official announcement, so I went looking for him but I wasn't expecting to see what I saw when I finally found him.<br /> I found Dylan in our hotel room with my brother Luca and both had nothing on.<br /> I can't even begin to describe to you how painful it was to see the love of my life and my beloved older brother who I love so freaking much entangled the way that they were.<br /> I was so heartbroken and devastated that I didn't even stay to hear their sorry excuses.<br /> I quickly left the room and the hotel altogether because honestly, there's nothing they could say or even do that would be good enough for me to accept or even forgive.<br /> After I left the hotel, I went to a nearby bar where I drank all of my pain and sorrows away.<br /> I ended up getting so freaking drunk that I found myself in a hotel room losing my innocence to some strange guy or at least that's what I thought at the time.<br /> When I woke up the next morning, I realised the guy who I had been intimate with and gave my precious flower to was none other than New York's most eligible bachelor Logan Black who is also the best friend of my eldest brother Justin.<br /> I was in so much shock and I couldn't believe I had been with Logan.<br /> I instantly freaked out and panicked because I didn't know how Logan was going to react when he woke up and realised he'd had been with me, the girl he had always seen as his younger sister and I really didn't wanna to stay to find out, so I quickly got dressed and left the hotel room.<br /> I then went home where of course, I found out I was the villain of my story because I had left my engagement party without a word and had shown up the next morning literally doing the walk of shame.<br /> My parents questioned me about where I had been? who I had been with? why did I leave? how could I embarrass the Carpenter and Tate familys the way that I did? you know all that blah, blah, blah BS.<br /> Of course, Luca and Dylan didn't say anything and they were only too happy to throw me to the wolves which broke my heart even further because they were supposed to love me, yet they didn't care and they stood there allowing me to take the brunt of the blame for last night when it was all their fault.<br /> Anyway, I took all of the abuse and all hell broke loose when I told them that the wedding was off and I didn't want to marry Dylan anymore which angered my parents, more specifically my dad who hit me for the first time in my life and he demanded or I should say he commanded me to still go through with the wedding.<br /> Even that fake piece of trash Dylan acted like a love-sick victim and begged me not to cancel the wedding and even had the nerve to say he'd forgive me, you know ME for MY indiscretions, the cheeky man but I refused to budge even despite my dad's determination for it to still go ahead.<br /> I didn't wanna fight them anymore, so I let them all think they had won, so while everyone was planning the wedding of the century, I was making plans of my own to leave and get away.<br /> I really didn't want to leave because at the end of the day, my family are still my family and I love them so much but I knew I could never forgive them, especially Luca.<br /> Luca was my best friend growing up and I was the closest to him out of all of my brothers which is why this is so devastating to me.<br /> It's also the reason why I stopped myself from publically dragging Luca and Dylan out of the closet and outing them to the world so that everyone would know I wasn't the big, bad wolf in this story because deep down inside of me, I still do love them both and I don't want to hurt either of them.<br /> There's also another reason why I'm leaving or I should say this was the final nail in the coffin if you will and that reason is because I'm pregnant with Logan's baby.<br /> I knew my parents would flip their lids when they found out and they'd either assume Dylan is the father and would use my baby to make the wedding happen sooner or they'd wanna know who the real father is and if they learned Logan is the father then they'd force me to marry him to save face.<br /> I didn't want either of those options, I didn't want Dylan and I didn't want Logan, I just wanted me and my baby, so I packed a bag and grabbed as much cash as I could because I didn't wanna take any cards with me in case they tried to track me down and I headed straight for JFK airport hoping to start a new life.<br /> I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard the boarding call for my flight.<br /> I let out a breath and smiled as I thought to myself this is it whilst placing a hand on my stomach.<br /> "It's just you and me from now on my little angel"<br /> I take a final deep breath in and slowly release it before standing up and grabbing my bags.<br /> I then head towards my gate and my new life in London, England.<br /> Six Years Later...<br /> <br /> "KIDS!!, BREAKFAST IS READY!!"<br /> "OK, MUM!!"<br /> I plate up mine and the kid's breakfasts and place them on the table along with four cups of orange juice and a cup of coffee for myself.<br /> I was grabbing a few condiments for the table when my three babies came barrelling into the room with my youngest son Dayton looking like he was going to a Marvel or DC convention.<br /> "Dayton baby, I thought I told you all to get ready for school?"<br /> "You did and I did"<br /> He said cheekily and I rolled my eyes.<br /> "Son, you can't wear your Batman mask and cape to school"<br /> "Why not? I look cool"<br /> He says and I chuckle.<br /> "Yes I know you do, son but you can't just wear it"<br /> "Why not?"<br /> "Because it's the rules, Dayton, we have to wear our school uniforms and nothing else"<br /> My one and only baby girl says before taking a sip of her drink.<br /> "But Elijah gets to wear his Spiderman costume every day, mum"<br /> "That's because Elijah is autistic, baby and the school are trying to make his school life a little bit easier and make it as comfortable as possible for him"<br /> I tell him for the umpteenth time and he drops his head in defeat.<br /> "Ok, fine...can I wear it after school?"<br /> He asks and I smile.<br /> "Of course, you can"<br /> I bend down and give him a kiss.<br /> "Now come and eat your breakfast before it gets all cold and soggy"<br /> "Ok, mum"<br /> Dayton and I take our seats and my eldest baby, my firstborn Logan couldn't resist making a comment about his brother's attire.<br /> "You look like a nerd, Dayton"<br /> "Says the one who is reading a chemistry book at the breakfast table"<br /> "It's biology actually and it doesn't hurt to want to warm your brain up before school"<br /> "That makes no sense at all"<br /> Dayton says while rolling his eyes.<br /> "Actually it does, Dayton, it's just like when you go to the gym, you warm up first, right? Logan reading a book before school is like a warm-up for him to go and learn"<br /> Why did that make so much sense?.<br /> I mean, don't get me wrong, my babies are smart, actually, they're super smart, so it shouldn't be surprising or shocking to me that they'd say something clever but it is every single time.<br /> "Ok guys, knock it off and eat, please"<br /> We all eat our food and I couldn't keep my eyes off my three bundles of joy as we ate.<br /> It was one of the biggest shocks of my life when I found out I was expecting triplets and I near fainted in the doctor's office, especially when my mind started going into overdrive about things like giving birth but thankfully the pregnancy and the birth went better than I expected because I had my best friend Carmella there with me and she's been there for me ever since.<br /> My kids are my entire life and have been ever since I left New York six years ago.<br /> I've got two handsome boys and a beautiful little girl who have all just turned five years old and they're the lights of my life.<br /> My eldest son is Logan David Junior, yes I named him after his biological father and his paternal grandfather David Black which is something that I never planned on doing at first but as soon as I gave birth to him and I held him for the very first time, I knew that I couldn't give him any other name.<br /> Logan is my quiet child and he's very introverted compared to his siblings, he also loves to learn new things and is always either studying, reading a book, watching educational programmes or looking up something educational on the internet.<br /> He's not as sociable as his brother and sister but he still likes to have fun and hang out with other kids his age just as long as he knows and trusts them.<br /> My baby is also obsessed with science and computers and is constantly learning the ins and outs of them both, hence why he's currently reading a biology book while he's eating his eggs.<br /> All three of my kids are very skilled musically and Logan is one hell of a pianist.<br /> He's won so many awards for it and he even performed at the Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety performance in front of the royal family last year which made me one hell of a proud momma wolf.<br /> Then there's my youngest son Dayton James who is named after my father.<br /> Dayton is my little troublemaker, he's my cheeky child who has got one hell of a smartass mouth and he loves to joke around and play pranks on people which I hate and I'm trying to knock it out of him but it's hard, especially when he religiously watches Home Alone because he says the main character Kevin is his idol.<br /> I really should've given Dayton the middle name Liam after my big brother because he's just like his uncle in every way possible, even his laugh is the same as Liam's.<br /> Despite being a Johnny Knoxville in training, Dayton is a mathematician which is something he must've gotten from his dad because I'm dumb as a chicken when it comes to numbers, he also loves the drums which fits perfectly with his personality and lately, he's been taking air guitar lessons with a tutor.<br /> Then there's my little princess, my daughter Teddy Louise who I named after my mom.<br /> Teddy is a little girly girl who is obsessed with Disney, she loves to get dressed up and look pretty but she's also not afraid to get her hands dirty.<br /> She loves it when it rains because she gets to stomp around in puddles but her favourite weather is when it snows because she loves to build snowmen and make snow angels.<br /> Teddy also loves to bake and can make pretty much anything but her favourite thing to bake is cupcakes because she loves to decorate them with different icing and sprinkles.<br /> She's obsessed with many forms of art and loves to learn about the history of different famous artists, especially the likes of Picasso and Van Gogh, they really intrigue her for some reason.<br /> Teddy also loves to play the flute and can play many different beautiful melodies on it but she's not as into it as her older brothers are with their instruments.<br /> All three of my kids are incredibly smart and they attend a special school for the gifted after they were referred there by their previous school when they all started showing signs of being child prodigies.<br /> I always knew my kids were special and were more intelligent than most other kids their ages but I never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought that one let alone all three of my babies would be child prodigies because I always believed they were rare like one in a million type of rare, yet I managed to birth three, that's crazy.<br /> "Mum"<br /> Dayton's cute, adorable voice broke me from my thoughts.<br /> "Yes, baby"<br /> "Can I have some more juice, please?"<br /> "Of course you can, do you two want some more as well?"<br /> I ask Logan and Teddy who nod their hands.<br /> I grab the jug of juice and fill up their glasses before sitting back down in my chair.<br /> "Thanks, mum"<br /> My babies said in unison while smiling and I smiled back at them.<br /> "You're welcome, babies"<br /> I said as I heard a noise coming from the front door which I knew was the mail.<br /> I once again get up from my chair and go to see what junk I've been sent today.<br /> I wasn't expecting anything important because all of my bills have been paid for and are up to date, so I wasn't expecting anything more than just junk mail and takeaway leaflets which they seriously need to stop giving us, the internet is a thing, folks.<br /> I let out a breath as I look through the pile but my eyes narrowed and I was confused/scared when one of the letters caught my attention for several reasons.<br /> The first reason is because of the American stamps and the address which are in the corners of the envelope.<br /> The latter is something the majority of the UK don't do, so that struck me as odd and the second reason is the very familiar handwriting on it which I immediately recognised as my grandfather Joseph's handwriting.<br /> My heart was beating a mile a minute and my anxiety had spiked as I continued to look at the envelope and they got worse as my fingers danced over the Christmas stamp which had been used to seal the letter.<br /> I didn't know what was in the letter but it was enough to make me feel panicked and nervous because nobody from my previous life except for Carmella knows where I live now, so how in on earth has my grandpa found out where I am? and why is he writing to me? what does he want?.<br /> "Mum, we need to go, we're going to be late"<br /> Teddy says and I look up to see all three of my kids standing in the hallway putting on their coats, hats, scarves and gloves.<br /> It's December and the weather is cold which is something I'm used to as a native of New York but in the UK, the mornings always seem really bitter, so I make sure we're all wrapped up warm whenever we leave the house.<br /> I place the pile of letters on the side cabinet and go to put on my coat and accessories before grabbing my bag and making sure I've got everything I need including my phone, purse, house keys and car keys.<br /> "Are you ready to go, babies?"<br /> "Yep"<br /> "Mmm-hmm"<br /> "Yes, mum"<br /> The kids all say at the same time.<br /> "Have you got your book bags and packed lunches?"<br /> I ask them and they all nod their heads.<br /> "Ok, let's go"<br /> We leave our home and head towards the car.<br /> I make sure all of the kids are safely strapped in before getting in myself, we then set off for their school as we sing along to the Christmas songs which were playing on the radio.<br /> Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year and it's also my kids favourite as well.<br /> This time of year is also always really bittersweet for me because Christmas with my family used to be amazing and we'd always have so much fun.<br /> It was the one time of the year when we'd all gather together and stay at my parent's mansion for the entire holiday and we'd celebrate it in style.<br /> I really wish I could go back to those times.<br /> There's nothing I'd love more than for my babies to have a REAL family Christmas with our family maybe even with their father and his family but I highly doubt this will happen anytime soon.<br /> <br /> It's crazy how fast our lives can change within the blink of an eye and sometimes you don't even know it's happening until it's already happened.<br /> The past six years have been a crazy whirlwind and I've had to get used to a lot of changes in my life since I moved to London but now I'm happily settled and living my best life, well, I'm living as great of a life as I possibly can without my beloved family here with me.<br /> There was a time when my family and I were extremely close, we would always see and talk with each other every day and we always did anything and everything for one another but all of that changed and I saw a totally different side to my family after Dylan and Luca's betrayal.<br /> I always used to think I had the perfect family, the perfect parents, the perfect grandparents and the perfect older brothers and in a way, I still feel that way about them but I also can't forget the immediate change in them when I found out my older brother was screwing my fiance.<br /> The betrayal left me a heartbroken mess and it changed my entire life forever, it also changed all of the plans I had made for my future.<br /> Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a school teacher, I wanted to teach the future generation and prepare them for the next stages of their lives.<br /> A few months before everything happened six years ago, I was offered a place at one of the best colleges in New York to get my teaching degree but then my relationship broke down and the perfect future I had planned with Dylan had gone up in flames along with everything else.<br /> I no longer had any desire to get my teaching degree but I needed to find a steady income so that I could provide for myself and the triplets because I knew my savings which was a very substantial amount of money wouldn't last me forever.<br /> I wasn't used to living like this because I was born a millionaire heiress, I had always lived a life of luxury and I never had to worry about anything, so to now live knowing money was running out was kind of scary, especially since I now had three extra mouths to feed and I didn't want my kids to grow up differently to how I did.<br /> Don't get me wrong I wasn't a spoiled little rich girl or anything like that but I lived a comfortable life with no worries and I wanted the same for my kids as well.<br /> I didn't want them to grow up worrying about things that they shouldn't have to which I know they would've done because they're really smart and they would've immediately sensed when something was wrong.<br /> Anyway, I knew I needed to make some decent money and fast but I didn't know how.<br /> That was until one day when I was watching some soppy rom-com movie which was based on some old book and it unlocked a brand new passion inside of me, a passion which I never knew existed if I'm being perfectly honest with you.<br /> I always loved to read and loved nothing more than to get lost in a good book but I never once saw myself as a writer because I didn't think I was creative enough to be one.<br /> All of that changed as soon as I put pen to paper or my fingers to my laptop I should say and that's when magic happened.<br /> Within two months, I had finished and completed my first book The Billionaire's Secret Baby which later turned into a five-part series when my fans demanded more from me.<br /> The series was a huge hit and before I knew it, I was a world-famous author, I was successful and I was rolling in the money, most of which I've either invested or I've put into different bank accounts for me and my kids for when they're older.<br /> The rest of the money I used to buy us our current home and everything we needed to furnish it and I also bought myself a decent car as well.<br /> I mean, I'm not at Donald Trump's level of rich but I've got enough money for me and the triplets to live happy and comfortable lives together.<br /> Right now I'm in my office working on a new book and a new series but for some strange reason, I can't seem to concentrate and for the first time in my writing career, I've got writer's block.<br /> I let out a sigh as I take off my glasses and rub the bridge of my nose.<br /> This is so frustrating and annoying.<br /> The worst thing for a writer to experience is knowing what you want to write and how you want to write it but being unable to articulate it in the right way and have it make sense.<br /> There have been many times in the past where I've written something and when I've read it back I was baffled. this makes absolutely no sense.<br /> I looked back at the screen and decided I needed to take a break, so I got up and went into the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee and something to eat.<br /> I didn't really have much of an appetite but I knew if I didn't eat something now then I probably wouldn't have anything to eat until dinner later on which wouldn't do me any good.<br /> You need to be healthy in your mind, body and soul in order to do anything and I can't focus on writing a great story if I'm pushing myself without resting or eating.<br /> I was sitting on the couch and eating my food with the television on in the background which I wasn't watching, it was just on for background noise because I hate silence and that's all I ever seem to have in this house when the kids aren't here.<br /> Anyway, the T.V. quickly caught my attention when the annoying presenter with a high-pitched squeaky voice, who was wearing more make-up than a drag queen mentioned several familiar names which piqued my interest, one of which and the gossip about him almost had me choking on my coffee.<br /> "Hello everyone and welcome to the Hollywood Daily, it's been a busy week for many of the Hollywood elite, more specifically those within the affluent Carpenter and Black families"<br /> The presenter said with a huge grin on her face.<br /> The first piece of news she was gossiping about was my sister-in-law Sabrina launching two new clothing lines, one is a maternity line and one is for kids which will be released after Christmas.<br /> This will be her third and fourth lines that she's released, the first one being a bikini line and the second one was an undergarment line which she worked on with my mom.<br /> "Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen because the latest announcement from the Carpenter family is one that is going to break all of our precious little hearts, Luca Carpenter the youngest son of James and Louise Carpenter has come out as gay"<br /> This is the news which had me almost choking on my coffee.<br /> What does she mean he's come out as gay?.<br /> Didn't he do that six years ago?.<br /> "According to a statement released earlier today, Luca said it's taken me a very long time to finally accept who and what I am and now I can proudly say that I'm a gay man"<br /> Holy cow.<br /> "But that's not the most shocking part of the statement, the part which has left many of the public including fans of the family baffled and scratching their heads in confusion is when Luca also confessed his undying love for his soulmate and the love of his life Dylan Tate...does that name ring a bell? well, it should do because Dylan is the eldest son and heir of Lachlan and Sandra Tate and he's the former fiance of Luca's younger sister Lacey Carpenter who has been M.I.A for the past six years, are Luca and Dylan the reason for her disappearance from the limelight? has this love story been going on for a lot longer than the Carpenters want us to believe? this is something we may never know unless Luca, Dylan or even Lacey herself comes out and explains it to us"<br /> I can't believe this.<br /> It's a good job I legally changed my name six years ago before I gave birth to my kids because if I didn't, then this could have caused a lot of trouble for me and my kiddies.<br /> "Moving on, we've got everyone's favourite billionaire playboy Logan Black who is as much known for his dating life as he is for his wealth, businesses and modelling career, the fitness model and business mogul is known for having a different woman on his arm every week but is his bachelor life officially over? it seems so after the sexy hunk was spotted shopping at one of New York's most expensive jewellery stores with singer and actress GiGi Addams"<br /> What?.<br /> It hurt my heart to hear about Logan settling down with someone else, especially with a snake like GiGi Addams.<br /> Deep down in my heart, I knew why it hurt me so much but I just didn't want to admit to it.<br /> I had always had a crush on Logan ever since I was a kid and I think somewhere over the years, that crush manifested into something more but I really didn't want to confess to those feelings because he's my older brother's best friend and also because of Dylan, not to mention Logan is everything I hate in a man.<br /> He's cocky and conceited and he thinks if the world doesn't revolve around him then it should or at least that's how he was six years ago, I don't know if he's changed at all since I left the States.<br /> I couldn't help but smile a sad and bittersweet smile as the presenter continued to talk about my family and those who used to be close to me and it really hurt my heart because I miss them so freaking much and I hate hearing about them and what's new in their lives through channels like this.<br /> Changes are a natural part of life but sometimes it's the ones you weren't expecting that cause you the most pain and sorrow but also the most happiness as well.<br /> ...<br /> Open the app and continue reading the rest of the story . 👉<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book

So, why did it suddenly shrink today?<br /> What did she do differently from last night till now?<br /> Xeyla furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes.<br /> Last night,She had sex with a man for the first time…🔥🔥🔥<br /> <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Xeyla McLean never expect to stumble upon her fiancé's affair when she returned to the company to get something.<br /> <br /> Hearing the moan coming from an office, she initially suspected that one of her artistes was behaving indecently. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard a coquettish voice ask, "Cain, when can we be together openly?"<br /> <br /> Xeyla was stunned.<br /> <br /> The voice seemed to be Pheona Irving's.<br /> <br /> Pheona was the most popular artiste under her management, and "Cain" was Xeyla's fiancé, Cain Irving.<br /> <br /> But... how could that be possible?<br /> <br /> Xeyla thought that she must have misheard it.<br /> <br /> She couldn't help but shake her head in denial.<br /> <br /> "Honey, be a little more patient." The man's tone was lazy. Unmistakably, it was Cain. "The company has just gotten on track. We still need her for many things."<br /> <br /> "Alright then." After a snort, Pheona added smugly, "She would never have thought that I'm not your sister actually."<br /> <br /> What?<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Xeyla felt dizzy. Not only did her mind go blank, but her ears were buzzing too.<br /> <br /> By the time she had regained her composure, the conversation in the office had ended. However, she was constantly reminded of the reality as her temples throbbed.<br /> <br /> She didn't imagine it, nor was it a dream. It was all real.<br /> <br /> Three years ago, Xeyla and Cain founded Starlight Entertainment together. And immediately, Cain signed Pheona and introduced Pheona as his sister. Xeyla believed it wholeheartedly and put all her efforts into making Pheona the most popular actress in the entertainment industry.<br /> <br /> But now, it turned out that the two had been deceiving her all along!<br /> <br /> Xeyla trembled violently not only because of heartache and humiliation but also anger.<br /> <br /> Tears dripped down her face, and she had to cover her mouth desperately to prevent herself from sobbing out loud.<br /> <br /> She couldn't let the two find out that she was there. If she confronted them now, it would be too easy for them!<br /> <br /> Thinking of the emotions and efforts that she had invested in the past three years, Xeyla wiped away her tears resolutely and left the company quietly.<br /> <br /> When Xeyla got home, she immediately played the surveillance video of the office.<br /> <br /> Cain and Pheona probably never expected that she had just installed surveillance cameras in every office a few days ago. Ironically, Pheona was part of the reason why the cameras were installed. Nevertheless, Xeyla didn't expect the cameras to come in handy so soon.<br /> <br /> Perhaps it was destiny that she finally saw the truth now, as she had been deceived for so long. Xeyla thought to herself self-deprecatingly.<br /> <br /> In the video, Pheona's face soon came into sight. She had her eyes closed. Her face was flushed, and she was tightly embracing Cain.<br /> <br /> Perhaps because Xeyla's heart was already numb from the pain, she was surprisingly calm at the sight of it.<br /> <br /> Without further ado, she quickly cut out this part of the video and copied it to her external hard drive.<br /> <br /> After doing all this, she went to the bathroom and washed away the icy tears on her face.<br /> <br /> When she looked up into the mirror, a pale yet pretty face came into sight.<br /> <br /> However, anyone who saw her face would exclaim with pity.<br /> <br /> And that was because there was a red birthmark, about the size of a baby's palm, on her right cheek.<br /> <br /> It was precisely because of this birthmark that she believed in Cain's sweet words in the first place back then.<br /> <br /> And it was also because of this birthmark that, no matter how talented Xeyla was, she could only be relegated to the backstage.<br /> <br /> Otherwise, why would she pour all her heart and soul into Pheona by working tirelessly to help Pheona secure a role, staying up late countless times to select scripts, writing character insights, and even drinking until her stomach bled?<br /> <br /> But now, all her efforts for Cain and Pheona had become a joke.<br /> <br /> Only now did she understand why Pheona had always been hostile to her for no reason and why Pheona always hung around Cain close. Several times, she even saw the two embracing each other in intimacy.<br /> <br /> Yet, Xeyla always thought that it was normal for them to have such a close tie since they were siblings.<br /> <br /> Siblings, tsk.<br /> <br /> At the thought of that, Xeyla clenched her fists with unknown emotions burning in her eyes.<br /> <br /> At this moment, her phone, which was placed by the sink, rang.<br /> <br /> Seeing the caller ID "Cain" on the screen, Xeyla bit her lip.<br /> <br /> She calmed down her emotions before answering lightly, "Hello."<br /> <br /> "Where are you?" Cain asked with rudeness in his tone. "Haven't you been contacting Elias, the director of 'The Tales of Annika,' lately? How is it? Has he agreed to cast Pheona as the female lead?"<br /> <br /> The television series, "The Tales of Annika," was invested in by TS Group, a leading enterprise in the country. TS Group's businesses span multiple industries, such as finance, communications, real estate, e-commerce, etc. Evidently, the enterprise had abundant resources.<br /> <br /> Cain had always wanted to meet the heir of TS Group, Fletcher O'Neill, who was also the current executive president. Unfortunately, Fletcher had been low-key and mysterious. Even though Cain was the president of Starlight Entertainment, his business card was still far from enough to be passed to Fletcher.<br /> <br /> Hence, Cain needed to use the tv series to establish a relationship with TS Group. Needless to say, he attached great importance to the series as a result.<br /> <br /> Xeyla was well aware of his intentions. Therefore, lately, she had been meeting with the director of the series, Elias Van Dahl, frequently. Last night, Elias finally agreed to give Pheona another chance.<br /> <br /> Prior to discovering the office affair, Xeyla was confident that Pheona would get the role. But now...<br /> <br /> "Oh, Elias still hasn't changed his mind. He is still not satisfied with Pheona's performance in the audition," replied Xeyla faintly, trying not to let her tone show any unusualness.<br /> <br /> "Ugh, this man!" Cain hissed angrily. "In that case, we must make sure that the Newington Awards tonight is flawless. If Pheona wins the Best Actress for Television Series, Elias will change his mind for sure! Now, you should go find out what the organizers and judges think."<br /> <br /> It was only at this moment that Xeyla realized that whenever Cain called her, he always spoke in a high-handed and condescending tone.<br /> <br /> She clenched her fists and looked at herself in the mirror, slowly showing a smile. "Sure."<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> At 5 o'clock in the evening, the red carpet event began.<br /> <br /> The venue tonight was packed with celebrities. Since Pheona had high popularity lately, she was one of the last few to make an entrance.<br /> <br /> Next to the red carpet, among the audience, Xeyla was wearing a mask and not attracting any attention.<br /> <br /> Soon, Pheona, dressed up in her best outfit, entered the venue. She held Cain's arm, smiling as she walked up the red carpet.<br /> <br /> The cheers were deafening. It was no surprise since Pheona was the most eye-catching actress of the year.<br /> <br /> "Wow. That must be Pheona Irving and her brother, Cain Irving!" An audience next to Xeyla continued to shout excitedly, "Ah, she's so lucky! Her brother is the president of the company, and the company has been providing her with so many good opportunities! No wonder her popularity has skyrocketed in recent years!"<br /> <br /> Xeyla heard the words. Something flashed across her eyes.<br /> <br /> Indeed, Starlight Entertainment had given all the best resources to Pheona. Not to mention that as her agent, Xeyla also worked painstakingly hard for Pheona.<br /> <br /> Every one of Pheona's roles was carefully selected by Xeyla. In fact, in order to leave a good impression on the directors, Xeyla would always explain the script to Pheona beforehand and rehearse with the latter repeatedly, which ultimately helped Pheona establish a reputation as a skilled actor in the industry.<br /> <br /> Despite all of this, Pheona would occasionally throw tantrums. At those times, Xeyla treated Pheona like a younger sister and would patiently coax her.<br /> <br /> whenever there were dangerous scenes on set, Xeyla would always stand in as a stunt double for her. But during the show's promotion, Xeyla never took credit for it. Instead, she portrayed Pheona as a dedicated and hardworking actress, which earned Pheona countless fans.<br /> <br /> If it hadn't been for Xeyla's efforts, Pheona wouldn't have accumulated such a huge fan base in just three years.<br /> <br /> Reputation and good impression were hard to be built up, but they were easy to be destroyed. Sometimes, they could be ruined with just a single video.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 The Sex Tape<br /> <br /> At 7 o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially began.<br /> <br /> Pheona was still immersed in the excitement of walking the red carpet. She whispered to the man beside her, "Cain, the cheers were the loudest when I came out."<br /> <br /> "Exactly, my superstar." Cain smiled indulgently. But subconsciously, he was scanning the surroundings. "Strange. Where's Xeyla? She hasn't been answering her phone."<br /> <br /> A trace of disgust flashed in Pheona's eyes. "Cain, can we not talk about her?"<br /> <br /> "She went to scout for information. We aren't sure whether the judges have picked you," explained Cain with his brows furrowed slightly.<br /> <br /> "Well, who else can they pick?" With a cold snort, Pheona continued, "Cain, I honestly don't think she's all that great. Even without her, I'll still become famous."<br /> <br /> Cain just smiled noncommittally and turned his gaze towards the stage.<br /> <br /> As time ticked by, it was finally time for the Best Actress for Television Series.<br /> <br /> The highlights of the nominees' performances from their respective shows were being played one by one on a big screen. When it was the turn of the last nominee, Pheona, the screen flickered strangely twice.<br /> <br /> Then, Pheona's flushed face suddenly was shown on the screen.<br /> <br /> At first, everyone was dumbfounded. The venue fell into an eerie silence. Some even wondered when Pheona, who had always taken innocent roles, had filmed a sex scene.<br /> <br /> Even Pheona herself was dumbfounded at first, only staring at her face on the screen with surprise. The video had no sound, but her entranced expression was enough to explain everything.<br /> <br /> Immediately right after that, a man appeared in the video. Due to the angle, only his side profile could be seen. However, Cain immediately recognized the man's identity.<br /> <br /> It was no one but himself!<br /> <br /> "Stop it!" He stood up abruptly and roared, "Stop the video now!"<br /> <br /> By now, Pheona had also realized what was happening. Her face turned ashen in an instant.<br /> <br /> All the celebrities, reporters, and audience in the venue finally responded to the situation. There was an uproar. Many took out their phones and cameras to film the video frantically.<br /> <br /> It was a sex tape!<br /> <br /> The woman in the tape was Pheona, a rising goddess and tonight's favorite for the Best Actress award.<br /> <br /> As for the man in the video, his identity was originally unknown to the public. But when Cain stood up and shouted frantically, everyone suddenly realized that the man was very likely to be Cain.<br /> <br /> What a shock!<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> Somehow, no one paused the video, and the tape was played for more than ten seconds. So, Cain rushed backstage like crazy.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, sitting in the audience, Xeyla silently laughed at the sight of his erratic behavior.<br /> <br /> Using the local area network to replace Pheona's performance video with the tape was an easy task for her.<br /> <br /> And this was just the beginning.<br /> <br /> Taking advantage of the chaos in the venue, Xeyla quietly left. She went to the riverside with a six-pack of beers.<br /> <br /> Although she had a good alcohol tolerance, for some reason, she became a bit drunk after drinking for a while tonight.<br /> <br /> She took out her phone and saw that social media was taken over by the shocking news.<br /> <br /> Mockingly, she curled her lips.<br /> <br /> Revenge may be satisfying, but she still felt aggrieved at the thought of the emotions and efforts that she had wrongly invested.<br /> <br /> She had thought that Cain could provide her with a home, but the reality proved her wrong. In the end, she was still alone.<br /> <br /> Because of the birthmark on her face, she would never be able to fulfill her dreams. What now? Did she have to work with another Cain and Pheona?<br /> <br /> Xeyla gave a bitter laugh and turned off her phone.<br /> <br /> Tonight, she didn't want anyone to reach her, let alone have Cain find her.<br /> <br /> Therefore, she couldn't go back to her apartment for the time being.<br /> <br /> With that in mind, Xeyla hailed a taxi and went to Majestic Hotel, where she booked a room.<br /> <br /> When she walked into the elevator with her room card, her steps were already unsteady.<br /> <br /> The effect of intoxication hit her fast.<br /> <br /> She swiped her room card in the elevator, pressed the floor button, then closed her eyes and massaged her sore temples.<br /> <br /> Soon, the elevator doors opened.<br /> <br /> Xeyla looked up and then stared blankly for a while.<br /> <br /> Somehow, the elevator took her directly to the living room of a suite, which had a low-key but luxurious decoration, a dazzling crystal chandelier, and warm yellow lights.<br /> <br /> Without a doubt, this was the hotel's presidential suite.<br /> <br /> But she clearly booked a regular room.<br /> <br /> Xeyla lowered her head and stared blankly at her room card, but she didn't find anything wrong.<br /> <br /> She just wanted to rest now.<br /> <br /> So, she stumbled a few steps inside and then, subconsciously, held her breath.<br /> <br /> There was a man sitting on the sofa not far away.<br /> <br /> It was a very handsome man.<br /> <br /> He had his eyes closed. His sharp eyebrows were slightly furrowed with a hint of coldness. Under his tall and straight nose, his crimson thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he was trying to hold something back.<br /> <br /> There was a cold and unwelcoming aura emanating from him.<br /> <br /> One of his hands was resting on the armrest, whereas the other was propping up his forehead. With his bathrobe collars opened, his exquisite clavicles and clear muscle lines were revealed.<br /> <br /> Perhaps he was uncomfortable. His Adam's apple moved up and down. His jaw to neckline was tense, and he was full of sexiness.<br /> <br /> Seeing that, Xeyla couldn't help but hold her breath.<br /> <br /> As an excellent agent, she had a sharp sense that if the man was willing to enter the entertainment industry, he would definitely be popular.<br /> <br /> No, this isn't the point. The point is that the room is clearly mine.<br /> <br /> Staggeringly, Xeyla approached the man and tried to be imposing. "Excuse me, this is—"<br /> <br /> Before she could finish, the man suddenly opened his eyes.<br /> <br /> Those were a pair of deep and cold eyes. His pitch-black pupils seemed bottomless as if they could draw one's soul into them.<br /> <br /> Xeyla's words were stuck in her throat.<br /> <br /> "Get out." The man calmly spat out the words. His deep voice was very hoarse.<br /> <br /> Xeyla blinked her eyes repeatedly.<br /> <br /> Under the continuous influence of alcohol, her reaction was slow.<br /> <br /> "Are… are you feeling unwell?" The influence of the alcohol was so strong that Xeyla found it difficult to straighten her tongue.<br /> <br /> "No." Fletcher's eyebrows were knitted together, and his handsome face was filled with gloom. "Get out."<br /> <br /> After being drugged by his grandfather, Steve O'Neill, with an aphrodisiac, Fletcher decided to stay at a hotel nearby. Despite having taken several cold showers, he could still feel the heat and desire in his body. So now, he could only wait for the drug effects to wear off.<br /> <br /> Earlier, he had dismissed his bodyguards and assistants. He didn't expect that a clueless woman would barge in.<br /> <br /> "No, you must be having a fever." With her arms extended, Xeyla wanted to help him. "Why don't I take you to the hospital to check it out—ah!"<br /> <br /> Her steps were unsteady, and with a loss of balance, she fell straight into his arms.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 One-Night Stand<br /> <br /> Xeyla's senses were immediately filled with the strong scent of male hormones, and under the catalysis of alcohol, she was dizzy and disoriented.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, Fletcher couldn't help himself and grabbed her wrist.<br /> <br /> Initially, he had intended to push her away. But when her soft body landed in his embrace, he felt as if blood was boiling.<br /> <br /> Her body fragrance was mixed with a hint of alcohol. It was a fatal stimulation to every nerve in his body.<br /> <br /> He couldn't help but curse in his heart.<br /> <br /> "Sorry." Embarrassedly, Xeyla got up from him. But under the influence of alcohol, she stumbled again. Once again, she fell onto his lap.<br /> <br /> Fletcher's breathing became heavier.<br /> <br /> "If you don't want to lose your V card, get lost," he warned slowly. His voice was quite husky.<br /> <br /> Tilting her head, Xeyla thought for a while before realizing what he meant.<br /> <br /> In the past three years, she had never done any intimate stuff with Cain, which she had always thought was a tacit understanding between her and Cain.<br /> <br /> But now, she finally came to the realization that Cain didn't like her at all. Hence, he had been deceiving her like she was a fool.<br /> <br /> There was a sudden twinge of pain in her heart. She reached out to hug Fletcher's neck, staring straight at him with a misty look in her eyes. "Perhaps… I want to!"<br /> <br /> Fletcher's pupils slightly contracted.<br /> <br /> It was only at this moment that he saw her face clearly for the first time.<br /> <br /> She had obviously drunk a lot of alcohol, as her charming eyes were watery and full of drunkenness. Under her slightly upturned nose lay her alluring pink lips.<br /> <br /> Undeniably, she was attractive.<br /> <br /> Her face was delicate and pretty, whereas her skin was as white as snow.<br /> <br /> Therefore, the bright red birthmark on her right cheek stood out even more. However, although the birthmark was abrupt, it was not ugly. Instead, it had a peculiar charm.<br /> <br /> Gulping, Fletcher couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheek.<br /> <br /> Xeyla felt him caressing her face and couldn't help but giggle.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Fletcher came to his senses. Narrowing his gaze, he asked in a hoarse and dangerous tone, "Do you know what you're saying?"<br /> <br /> "I know. I want to have sex with you." She sounded proud.<br /> <br /> With his pupils contracted and the veins on the back of his hand bulging out, he grabbed her hand. His breathing became extremely heavy.<br /> <br /> "It's okay." She comforted him insincerely. Then, licking her lips, she cupped his face and stared straight at his thin lips.<br /> <br /> Right now, Fletcher's handsome face was already covered in sweat.<br /> <br /> When he realized her intentions, he decisively pinned her down on the sofa.<br /> <br /> She let out a painful cry and looked a little aggrieved.<br /> <br /> Gulping, Fletcher tried to slow down his disordered breathing. He looked down at the woman on the sofa and hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he took a blanket from the backrest of the sofa and covered her body. "Close your eyes and sleep."<br /> <br /> She had a room card in her hand. Apparently, there was a mistake on the hotel's part.<br /> <br /> Otherwise, he would have thrown her out.<br /> <br /> He turned around to leave, but her soft arms were wrapped around him right then.<br /> <br /> Xeyla pressed her burning cheek against his back. Her voice was low and soft. "Don't go."<br /> <br /> "Let go." Fletcher's tone was tinged with a bit of anger.<br /> <br /> "No." Still clung onto him tightly, she pleaded, "Stay, please."<br /> <br /> At this moment, with a chaotic mind, she had no time to ponder about his identity, nor did she care about where she was. She only knew that his breath made her feel very comfortable.<br /> <br /> Perhaps it was because she had been drinking. At this moment, she felt very lonely and couldn't help but want to keep the warmth, even if it was short-lived and unreal.<br /> <br /> Hearing her pitiful voice, Fletcher paused for a moment.<br /> <br /> He had always been aloof and quite impatient with women. Tonight, his grandfather not only drugged him but also specially prepared a woman for him. Just now, even when the drug effect was at its strongest, he could still push away the woman arranged by his grandfather for him. But now, his determination was somewhat weak against this other woman behind him.<br /> <br /> Exerting all his self-control, he grabbed her wrist and turned around. His handsome face was filled with an extraordinary level of restraint. "Lie down."<br /> <br /> Xeyla blinked. Soon, her eyes turned red from aggrievement. "Do you think I'm ugly too?"<br /> <br /> Because of the birthmark, growing up, she had been ridiculed. So when Cain said he didn't mind, she felt like she had found true love.<br /> <br /> But thinking about it now, in the past three years, Cain hardly showed her any affection and rarely looked her in the eye.<br /> <br /> In fact, he had always despised her. Sadly, she only realized it now.<br /> <br /> Therefore, just like Cain, the man in front of her must be despising her too. He rejected her when she asked for sex.<br /> <br /> She was really pathetic.<br /> <br /> Thinking of that, she lowered her head. She seemed lost and sad.<br /> <br /> At the sight of that, Fletcher felt that part of his heart was tugged badly.<br /> <br /> With his lips pursed, he answered in a tense voice. "No."<br /> <br /> When Xeyla heard his deep and hoarse voice, somehow, she couldn't stop feeling wronged. Her tears fell uncontrollably. "Don't leave then."<br /> <br /> Her figure and look were charming and delicate. But at this moment, she seemed like a homeless little animal, with cautious yearning and attachment.<br /> <br /> As if at this moment, his acceptance could save her.<br /> <br /> Fletcher felt a certain string in his mind suddenly break.<br /> <br /> Lowering himself, he grabbed her chin and said in a low-pitched voice, "Don't regret it."<br /> <br /> "Of course not!" Xeyla realized that he had changed his mind. She broke down in tears and buried herself in his arms. "You're a good man!"<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> When Xeyla woke up, her mouth was dry, and her head felt like splitting.<br /> <br /> Not to mention that her body was in pain everywhere.<br /> <br /> She struggled to sit up from the bed, rubbing her temples as memories flooded back into her mind.<br /> <br /> Last night, she successfully took revenge on Cain, but that wasn't the point. The point was... she seemed to have gone to the wrong hotel room and had sex with a stranger.<br /> <br /> Joylessly, she ran her hand through her hair.<br /> <br /> She felt very embarrassed.<br /> <br /> She didn't expect herself to reveal such a fragile side after getting drunk. And she even had casual sex with a random man.<br /> <br /> Vaguely, she remembered that the man only agreed to stay after her begging and tears.<br /> <br /> It was as if he was doing this for her out of pity.<br /> <br /> Thinking of that, Xeyla felt even more embarrassed.<br /> <br /> However, since she was the one who took the initiative, she stopped acting sentimental.<br /> <br /> With a sigh, she calmed down and dragged her body to the bathroom while enduring the soreness. When she looked down and saw the marks on her body, she couldn't help but blush.<br /> <br /> She didn't dare to look any longer and hurriedly finished washing up. Later, coming out of the bathroom, she found a set of new clothes on a cabinet.<br /> <br /> It seemed that the man was quite considerate. Xeyla believed that to avoid awkwardness, the man must have already left the hotel by now.<br /> <br /> As she thought so confidently, she walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.<br /> <br /> Only then did she realize that she was wrong.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 The Shrinking Birthmark<br /> <br /> The living room was huge, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open. When the breeze came, it brought a chill.<br /> <br /> Xeyla looked up and saw Fletcher sitting behind a long table.<br /> <br /> In the daylight, his angular and handsome face was even more impactful. Xeyla couldn't help but hold her breath subconsciously.<br /> <br /> Although his short hair was slightly disheveled, his tidy white shirt was buttoned all the way up. It gave him an extra air of nobility and restraint, as well as a chilly aura that kept people at bay.<br /> <br /> At this moment, he was holding a tablet in his right hand and tapping something on the screen with his left hand. His fingers were long, and his knuckles were clean and distinct. Against the backdrop of the high-tech tablet, they looked particularly pretty.<br /> <br /> Xeyla's heartbeat accelerated.<br /> <br /> Perhaps hearing some noise, Fletcher put down the tablet in his hand and looked up. His gaze fell directly on her.<br /> <br /> Those pitch-black, deep eyes were filled with lofty and cold arrogance. Yet, they had a calm and confident look. It was as if she was just prey and destined to never escape his grasp.<br /> <br /> Her heart tightened. Under such a gaze, she could hardly stand.<br /> <br /> "Um..." She coughed lightly, trying to calm herself down. "I apologize for last night. I'll take my leave now."<br /> <br /> At the same time, Fletcher gazed at her pretending composed look with a deep and meaningful expression, as if he saw through her hidden panic.<br /> <br /> "Come here." Although his voice was faint, it carried an irresistible dominance.<br /> <br /> Instinctively, Xeyla walked over and sat across from him.<br /> <br /> "Take a look. If you're good with it, sign it." He lightly tapped on the table.<br /> <br /> Now that he mentioned it, she noticed the document on the table. She glanced at it quickly, then gasped.<br /> <br /> "Fl-Fletcher O'Neill?" she asked, stuttering. "You're Fletcher O'Neill?!"<br /> <br /> She couldn't believe it.<br /> <br /> Did I have sex with the Fletcher O'Neill last night?!<br /> <br /> And this mysterious and legendary figure is actually so young, and… very good-looking!<br /> <br /> She was so shocked by what she had just learned that she couldn't recover her senses for a long time.<br /> <br /> With her eyes widened and her mouth slightly agape, she appeared a bit silly.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, Fletcher was very pleased by her reaction. He picked up his coffee and took a sip. Something flashed in his gaze. "Keep reading."<br /> <br /> Xeyla turned the page and finally saw the content of the agreement.<br /> <br /> "Y-You w-wanna get married to me?!" she stammered.<br /> <br /> With a dull thud, Fletcher put down his cup on the table. Then, his cold and unquestionable voice sounded. "Yes."<br /> <br /> At that moment, Xeyla thought of many things.<br /> <br /> For one, Cain had mentioned Fletcher's name many times with enthusiasm. Cain had been hoping to get investment from TS Group. If Cain learned that the fiancée whom he had been looking down upon married Fletcher, the look on Cain's face would be very interesting.<br /> <br /> Besides, Fletcher had enormous wealth and power. It was hard for Xeyla to say no.<br /> <br /> Nonetheless, she soon regained her rationality.<br /> <br /> What do I have that this man would look at me differently? All we had is just a one-night stand. With his money and status, he can have any woman he wants.<br /> <br /> Besides, there's still this unsightly birthmark on my face. Because of this birthmark, many men would subconsciously look away when they see me for the first time.<br /> <br /> Fletcher might have agreed to fool around with me last night due to his goodwill. But, getting married?<br /> <br /> It must be a trick!<br /> <br /> Thinking of that, Xeyla closed the document and said seriously, "I'm sorry. I can't sign this."<br /> <br /> Fletcher's pupils dilated slightly. He did not expect her to turn him down.<br /> <br /> His grandfather had been desiring to see him get married and have children. So, if he didn't find a woman to marry soon, it seemed that his grandfather would continue to seek ways to do so. Drugging him like last night was just the beginning.<br /> <br /> Therefore, when Fletcher woke up this morning and saw Xeyla's peaceful sleeping look, he suddenly had this thought that if he absolutely had to marry someone casually, why not chose Xeyla?<br /> <br /> Most importantly, her scent had a certain appeal to him. If it was her, perhaps he wouldn't be repulsed.<br /> <br /> But now, she refused his marriage proposal.<br /> <br /> It was she who pleaded with him to stay last night with a pitiful look. How dare she refused his proposal after that!<br /> <br /> But when Fletcher saw Xeyla's determined look, his gaze darkened.<br /> <br /> His fingers lightly tapped on the table, and with each tap, Xeyla's heart raced a little faster.<br /> <br /> "I… don't think that's a good idea…" answered Xeyla in difficulty. Deep down, she was feeling guilty though.<br /> <br /> It seemed that Fletcher was upset.<br /> <br /> "Tsk."<br /> <br /> He snorted. His tone carried a hint of coldness and mockery.<br /> <br /> Both of Xeyla's hands were trembling slightly, and she couldn't bring herself to look at his expression. In fact, for a brief moment, she even wanted to give in and sign the agreement.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Fletcher said in a faint tone, "You can go now."<br /> <br /> Xeyla was surprised.<br /> <br /> "Anything else?" He looked up at her.<br /> <br /> "Nothing." With an awkward chuckle, she got up without hesitation. "I'll leave now."<br /> <br /> After leaving the hotel, Xeyla managed to hail a cab and said to the driver, "Rosewood Mansion."<br /> <br /> Then, she let out a sigh of relief, though her heart was still thumping fast.<br /> <br /> It wasn't her fault for being easily intimidated. The oppressive presence given off by Fletcher was just too strong. If she hadn't spent three years in the entertainment industry, where she had been exposed to grand spectacles, she might have surrendered long ago.<br /> <br /> As for that random and bizarre marriage proposal, it was right for her to reject it.<br /> <br /> After all, someone like Fletcher was way out of her league.<br /> <br /> Soon, the cab arrived at Rosewood Mansion.<br /> <br /> Returning to her own little apartment, Xeyla could finally relax.<br /> <br /> Then, she recalled that the sex tape of Pheona and Cain was played at yesterday's awards ceremony.<br /> <br /> She had turned off her phone for more than ten hours now and felt like she was completely cut off from the world, which was a wonderful feeling.<br /> <br /> She knew without a doubt that many must have called her since last night, but she had no intention of dealing with them.<br /> <br /> Upon entering the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> <br /> The birthmark on her right cheek was still there, and it even appeared more vibrant than before.<br /> <br /> A hint of melancholy crossed Xeyla's eyes, but in the next moment, she froze.<br /> <br /> Something wasn't right.<br /> <br /> Since she looked at the mirror every day, she was intimately familiar with the shape and size of the birthmark. She was absolutely certain that today the birthmark appeared smaller by a whole round.<br /> <br /> At the realization of that, she rubbed her eyes and leaned in closer to the mirror to observe carefully for a while. Then, her heart began to race.<br /> <br /> Indeed, the birthmark had undeniably shrunk. It wasn't her imagination!<br /> <br /> The change would mean that one day the birthmark could completely vanish.<br /> <br /> She would be freed from all the limitations the birthmark had imposed on her and could finally step in front of the camera to make all her dreams come true!<br /> <br /> With the surge of thoughts in her mind, she felt her blood boil with excitement.<br /> <br /> But…<br /> <br /> For so many years, the birthmark remained unchanged. So, why did it suddenly shrink today?<br /> <br /> What did she do differently from last night till now?<br /> <br /> Xeyla furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes.<br /> <br /> Last night…<br /> <br /> She had sex with a man for the first time.<br /> <br /> Yes, this must be it! This must be the reason why the birthmark has become smaller! It can only be for this reason!<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Holding a Press Conference<br /> <br /> Xeyla was caught up in a huge frenzy. For so many years, she had already given up hope. Who would have thought that the birthmark was somewhat similar to a mark which some women wore to indicate their virginity?<br /> <br /> And there was one more crucial point.<br /> <br /> To make the birthmark disappear, could she just have sex with any man? Or did it have to be Fletcher only?<br /> <br /> If having sex with any man would work, it would be fine. But if it had to be Fletcher only...<br /> <br /> At the thought of that, Xeyla regretted it so much that she wanted to go back in time.<br /> <br /> She should have signed the marriage contract just now. If she had signed it, she could have found a legitimate reason to sleep with him, and perhaps it wouldn't take long for the birthmark to disappear completely.<br /> <br /> But now...<br /> <br /> Thinking of Fletcher's distant and aloof demeanor, Xeyla almost had zero hope.<br /> <br /> With his status and the fact that he had already given her a chance, he probably wouldn't be willing to give her another chance.<br /> <br /> Even if he was willing, it was almost impossible for her to see him again, given their vastly different statuses.<br /> <br /> Her hope that had just risen was crushed. She couldn't just have sex with a random man to test out her hypothesis.<br /> <br /> Xeyla knocked her head against the mirror in frustration.<br /> <br /> But no matter what, she finally found a way to make the birthmark disappear.<br /> <br /> Xeyla's eyes lit up again with a sudden burst of excitement.<br /> <br /> Just a few minutes ago, she was still extremely uncertain about her future.<br /> <br /> Now, she had goals.<br /> <br /> One of them was to sleep with Fletcher.<br /> <br /> And the other one was to get back control of Starlight Entertainment.<br /> <br /> She wanted Cain and Pheona to repay everything they owed her. Considering her understanding of Cain, she knew very well that a sex tape wouldn't be sufficient to bring him down.<br /> <br /> Thinking of that, Xeyla went to the living room and took out her phone.<br /> <br /> As soon as she turned on the phone, the notifications of messages kept popping up.<br /> <br /> She took a look and saw that Cain had probably called her more than a hundred times since last night.<br /> <br /> In addition, many reporters whom she knew in the circle, as well as her colleagues and top executives of the company, had also called her.<br /> <br /> It seemed that last night's video had caused quite a stir.<br /> <br /> Just as she was about to check her social media, Cain's call came in.<br /> <br /> She answered it.<br /> <br /> "Xeyla!" Cain almost roared. "Where did you go? Have you heard what happened last night?"<br /> <br /> Hearing that, Xeyla was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Cain hadn't suspected her at all.<br /> <br /> "I wasn't feeling well after I arrived at the venue, so I came home early to rest. I had no idea that my phone ran out of battery. I just managed to turn it on. What happened?" she asked with a light tone.<br /> <br /> Cain seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. "Xeyla, no matter what you see, don't believe it. Pheona and I have been framed."<br /> <br /> "What?" exclaimed Xeyla in surprise.<br /> <br /> To be fair, she got to applaud herself for her acting skills.<br /> <br /> "In any case, come to the company as soon as possible. We'll hold a press conference in an hour, and we need you to be our spokesperson. The sooner you come, the better!" he urged.<br /> <br /> "Okay, I'll be there right away." Upon saying that, Xeyla hung up the phone for the first time.<br /> <br /> Just then, another call came in. It was her colleague, Leo Marsh.<br /> <br /> She answered the call.<br /> <br /> "Xeyla! Thank goodness you finally picked up the phone!" Quickly, Leo described the event last night before updating her on the current situation. "Cain released a statement in the name of the company this morning, saying that the two in the video are not him and Pheona, but just two random people who resemble them. But clearly, this explanation isn't convincing enough, so he's planning for you to step out to clarify for him and Pheona. Xeyla, don't go. Cain is using you!"<br /> <br /> Hearing that, Xeyla asked in surprise, "Leo, why do you say that?"<br /> <br /> "I always felt that something was off between him and Pheona since before. So when I saw that video, I knew for sure that those two had something going on!" Leo continued urgently, "Xeyla, I know you're hurt, but you must believe me. Cain—"<br /> <br /> "I believe you." Xeyla cut him off. "Leo, don't worry. I know everything."<br /> <br /> A warm feeling rose in her heart. There were still people in the company who truly cared about her.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Leo seemed to take a breath. "So last night's event… Ah! I get it now! Well, I'm looking forward to the press conference later, ha-ha-ha."<br /> <br /> Xeyla smiled and hung up.<br /> <br /> She returned to the mirror and studied the birthmark on her face. Suddenly, she had an idea.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> At Starlight Entertainment, there were ten minutes left before the press conference would start.<br /> <br /> "Why hasn't Xeyla come yet?" Cain repeatedly called Xeyla's phone, but there was no answer. In frustration, he threw his phone onto the sofa.<br /> <br /> Pheona sat by the side. Her face was pale and full of tears.<br /> <br /> The incident last night was like a public humiliation. Just the idea of the whole world had seen the sex tape of her and Cain filled her with intense anger.<br /> <br /> "Why does it have to be Xeyla? Maybe it was her who shared that video!" Pheona clenched her fists tightly.<br /> <br /> "Impossible," Cain denied firmly. "Even if she found out, she would never do such a thing."<br /> <br /> "Still, I don't want her to clarify for us."<br /> <br /> "She's my fiancée. Her stance is crucial!" insisted Cain.<br /> <br /> "Fiancée this, fiancée that!" After yelling that, Pheona wept again.<br /> <br /> Although she and Cain loved each other, because of Xeyla, they could only be together in secret.<br /> <br /> Even when everyone was now suspecting that they were in an incestuous relationship, Cain wouldn't allow her to reveal the truth still.<br /> <br /> Why?<br /> <br /> "Pheona, stop causing a scene," Cain said sternly as he looked at her. "Think about your future in the entertainment industry."<br /> <br /> Pheona choked. "But, I don't want her to be the spokesperson!"<br /> <br /> "This is the only way to clarify things now!" To be honest, Cain wasn't sure. He didn't know whether Xeyla would still unconditionally believe him like before if she saw the video.<br /> <br /> Just then, an assistant knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Irving and Miss Irving, it's time. The reporters are waiting outside."<br /> <br /> "Pheona, let's go."<br /> <br /> "But Xeyla isn't here yet," muttered Pheona.<br /> <br /> Although she never admitted it, at this moment, Pheona realized that she lacked the courage to face the reporters alone.<br /> <br /> "Yeah, but if we're late, the reporters will have something to write about again!" Cain's tone was impatient. "And not to mention that this is a live broadcast!"<br /> <br /> Only a live broadcast could spread the press conference in real time and effectively suppress the rumors.<br /> <br /> Pheona finally had nothing to say, gritted her teeth, and gave in. "Fine."<br /> <br /> The assistant pushed open the door for them, and immediately, countless microphones and cameras were aimed at the two of them, making it almost impossible for them to see clearly.<br /> <br /> "Mr. Irving, where is your fiancée, Miss McLean?"<br /> <br /> "Didn't your company make a statement that she would clarify for you at the press conference today? Where is she? Has she also started to doubt your relationship with Miss Irving?"<br /> <br /> "Miss Irving, as the third person in the two's relationship, how do you feel?"<br /> <br /> Countless malicious questions came at them.<br /> <br /> Pheona's face turned pale, and she almost couldn't help but shout out that it was Xeyla who was the shameless third person.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Cain's expression didn't look good either. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "Xeyla is on her way and will be here soon. Please wait a moment."<br /> <br /> "I doubt Miss McLean will show up."<br /> <br /> "Yeah, who could stand such a thing? And they even claimed that someone pretended to be them in the video. Tsk, only their diehard fans would buy that!"<br /> <br /> The voices of skepticism were growing stronger and louder. As the scandal had captured the attention of the public, the reporters were eager to uncover more sensational information.<br /> <br /> Cain pursed his lips and gradually grew uncertain.<br /> <br /> Did Xeyla grow suspicious as well? Is that why she hasn't shown up now?<br /> <br /> By abstaining from this press conference, she's practically taking a stance in agreeing with the accusations against me and Pheona. In that case, we'll never be able to clear our names!<br /> <br /> As time passed, the reporters witnessed the increasingly grim expressions on Pheona and Cain, and they took even more photos.<br /> <br /> The reporters were glad that they had more sensational pieces to write about.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, the viewers who tuned in to the live stream also affirmed the nature of the scandal. Pheona's most devoted fans were overcome with emotions and found themselves shedding uncontrollably.<br /> <br /> Just then, a slender figure made her way toward the press conference venue from a distance.<br /> <br /> Cain was the first to catch sight of her and shouted, "Xeyla!"<br /> <br /> Instantly, the reporters quieted down.<br /> <br /> Following Cain's gaze, they turned their heads to behold a slender and graceful figure.<br /> <br /> In the next second, a collective gasp of astonishment escaped from their lips.❤🔞😍<br /> <br /> -------------------------------------------------------- <br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 😉🔥<Blind to Love>🔥 (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	LEARN_MORE	https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?	104800005627300	A wonderful story	https://facebook.com/100083177024234	55,247	2	400,050,962,797,736	2024-04-07 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	Learn more	A wonderful story	120208143461600110	page.tapon.com	NONE	video		https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?lang=en&id=6125&brand=3&app=0&ppid=3065&pid=FBW2A&campaign={{campaign.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&utm_source=FBW2A&utm_medium={{placement}}&utm_campaign={{campaign.id}}&utm_term={{adset.id}}&utm_content={{ad.id}}&ori_campaign_id=120208143453420110&ori_adset_id=120208143455040110&ori_ad_id=120208143460180110	2024-04-07 04:40	https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/433989036_1372446743447464_3647671189666059080_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=mMWBUbNKtl0Ab73M7Ia&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=00_AfDRpmN_tQumvLDG6jN-wKyoeZjDgS6jEXsgQXaR-q0U9g&oe=6618E489	person_profile	A wonderful story	https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434465923_1464779127446746_986692234592032803_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=4oFB69e8eWcAb4f2p1r&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=00_AfCGJkJBAAEdEy0WEhK2So6or8vxj8v_GQ2gYu5prNXdfw&oe=6618DB79	3	A wonderful story	2024-04-07 02:00	View Edit Delete

He was an overbearing and formidable man.<br /> <br /> He who overwhelmed the world with his unparalleled power had even created the Five Great Wars Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, and many more.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Setting foot on his homeland, Levi Garrison was overcome with emotions.<br /> <br /> Once upon a time, he used to be an orphan who was abandoned on the streets of North Hampton and then adopted by the Garrison family.<br /> <br /> However, the Garrison family had never been fond of him.<br /> <br /> His adoptive parents, who had a tendency to beat and scold him, treated him like an outsider.<br /> <br /> As for the outsiders, they treated him as a nobody.<br /> <br /> But he didn't care a stiver. He had always been proud of his surname since he was a child, and he strived to bring glory to this family when he grew older.<br /> <br /> At last, Levi had established Levi Group, the largest dark horse in North Hampton's business community.<br /> <br /> With billions of assets, it ranked among the forefront of North Hampton, pushing the declining Garrison family to the top.<br /> <br /> However, not only did the Garrison family showed no signs of appreciation, they even harbored dissatisfaction towards him. Jealous of his success, they regarded him as a thorn in their flesh and coveted Levi Group.<br /> <br /> No matter his wealth and power, unless they were in control, he was just an outsider in the Garrison family's eyes.<br /> <br /> Eventually, on Levi's wedding night, the Garrison family plotted a frame-up against him by getting him drunk before tossing him onto his sister-in-law's bed. They wanted to create the illusion that he was doing something untoward to her and was caught in bed by his brother and adoptive parents.<br /> <br /> That night, the Garrison family had brutally broken his limbs and left him on the road like a wild dog.<br /> <br /> Not only was he handicapped, but he also had to take the flak for something he didn't commit.<br /> <br /> From an upstart in the business world, he had become the target of disdain overnight.<br /> <br /> And the next day, he had been punished for several crimes and sentenced to six years in prison.<br /> <br /> He could never forget the ruthless and sinister faces of everyone in the Garrison family and the ridicule of his friends, classmates, and business partners.<br /> <br /> More so, he could never forget the disappointment on his newly wedded wife, Zoey's face.<br /> <br /> He had regarded the Garrison family as his home and devoted himself to the family.<br /> <br /> Yet, they treated him like trash.<br /> <br /> It felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart every time he thought about this.<br /> <br /> How he hated the Garrison family!<br /> <br /> But who would have thought that Levi had been secretly transferred away from prison to join the military?<br /> <br /> In a few years, he dominated the military world and became the one and only five-star God of War.<br /> <br /> Now that he came back, the Garrison family ought to stay on their toes.<br /> <br /> “How's it going, Azure Dragon?” Levi asked.<br /> <br /> Azure Dragon, the commander of the Five Great Wars Regiment, took a step forward and said respectfully, “Sir, I'm afraid your wife, Ms. Zoey Lopez will remarry at ten o'clock tonight!”<br /> <br /> Ever since Zoey's husband was sent to prison on their wedding night, she had been living like a widow.<br /> <br /> Only God knew how much pressure she was put under.<br /> <br /> And right now, the person Levi couldn't wait to see the most was Zoey.<br /> <br /> After a moment of hesitation, Azure Dragon continued, “To add on, Sir, the Garrison family is holding a successful listing celebration banquet at the Crystal Palace Hotel tonight! Many people had invited the God of War just now, including the Garrison family, but I didn't accept nor refuse directly.”<br /> <br /> “What time?” Levi asked tersely.<br /> <br /> “Eight o'clock, Sir.”<br /> <br /> “Okay. Tell the Garrison family I will attend the banquet!”<br /> <br /> Since the time for the two events didn't clash, Levi gladly accepted the invitation.<br /> <br /> The celebration banquet for the public listing of Garrison Group was held at North Hampton's Crystal Palace Hotel.<br /> <br /> With the help of Levi Group, they had become a rich and powerful family in one fell swoop.<br /> <br /> The hall was bustling with noise and excitement, and sounds of glasses clinking could be heard ringing in the air every now and then.<br /> <br /> “God bless the Garrison family,” said Joseph, the head of the Garrison family. “The younger generations are the stars among men. Garrison Group is now listed and has become an upstart in North Hampton!”<br /> <br /> Joseph's three sons and daughter welcomed their guests with bright smiles on their faces.<br /> <br /> The younger generation of the Garrison family was all the smugger and prouder because, after today, the Garrison family would become a powerful family, and they would become one of the top rich kids.<br /> <br /> Most of the guests who attended today's banquet were from the top circle in North Hampton.<br /> <br /> “Garrison, do you know what happened today?! Your celebration party is nothing compared to that.” They were gossiping about the major event that had happened today.<br /> <br /> “Yeah! I heard that a big shot has arrived in North Hampton!”<br /> <br /> “The richest man in North Hampton wanted to meet him but was shooed away. Apparently, he's not qualified enough!”<br /> <br /> “So? Jesse Nielsen had been waiting for five hours in advance at the airport!”<br /> <br /> Joseph nodded. “Yes, I know about that too. I even sent someone to invite this big shot to the celebration party!”<br /> <br /> “No way! Why would this big shot attend such a party?”<br /> <br /> No one believed it.<br /> <br /> In fact, as an upstart, Joseph was just trying his luck.<br /> <br /> “Dad!” shouted Jaycob, the second eldest son of the Garrison family could be seen running over. “The big shot has accepted our invitation to attend our celebration banquet! He's on the way!”<br /> <br /> “Jesus! God has indeed blessed the Garrison family!”<br /> <br /> Everyone in the Garrison family could barely conceal their delight as this was their chance to reach the sky in a single bound.<br /> <br /> The grandchildren of the Garrison family gathered together, sunshine flooding their souls.<br /> <br /> Levi's brother, Bryan, and sister-in-law, Victoria, smiled. “Well, it all starts with Levi's imprisonment that the Garrison family is at where we are today...”<br /> <br /> “Right, speaking about Levi, do you guys know today's the day that kid gets out of prison?!” somebody asked abruptly.<br /> <br /> “Really? Isn't that bad luck? Why did he have to be released on such a big day?!”<br /> <br /> “Please, please, please don't come back! He's the Garrison family's biggest disgrace!”<br /> <br /> Victoria's lips tugged into a sneer. “Speaking of which, Levi is the crowning glory of the Garrison family's status today.”<br /> <br /> “That's what he's supposed to do!” Bryan said. “He should contribute to the Garrison family for raising him, an orphan! His multi-billion Levi Group means nothing. To put it bluntly, he's just a dog raised by the Garrison family!”<br /> <br /> Someone gave a chortle. “As a matter of fact, I've been interested in Levi's wife for a long time now. She's still widowed, and I'm so going to marry her!”<br /> <br /> The man's remark caused gales of laughter.<br /> <br /> “Everyone, stop what you're doing. I have an important announcement to make,” Joseph said and went on to announce that the big shot was coming.<br /> <br /> A thunderous applause was heard.<br /> <br /> But when the applause had died down, there was still someone clapping.<br /> <br /> The sound was loud and clear, approaching from afar.<br /> <br /> On the red carpet, a man came clapping, looking bold and energetic.<br /> <br /> His stride gave off a majestic and imposing aura, which made the mass hold their breaths.<br /> <br /> “It's Levi!” Bryan and Victoria exclaimed.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, all eyes were riveted on him.<br /> <br /> “I forgot this little brat got out of jail today!” Levi's adoptive parents spoke in unison.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the astonished gazes darted at his way, Levi walked step by step towards Joseph.<br /> <br /> “A little bird told me that the company is now listed. How are you feeling, Joseph? Are you happy?”<br /> <br /> Levi flashed him a meaningful smile.<br /> <br /> “How dare you show up here, you insolent brat! And what did you just call me?” Joseph's fury sprang to life.<br /> <br /> “Who let him in? Didn't you know he just got out of prison? How inauspicious!”<br /> <br /> Bryan rose to his feet. “…… are you doing here, Levi?”<br /> <br /> Levi sized him up. “Why can't I be here?”<br /> <br /> “Well, for starters, you're an orphan! The Garrison family has raised you, but you were ambitious and ungrateful. You had inordinate ambitions for your sister-in-law, and you wanted to take possession of the Garrison family! You'd even tried to kill your parents when things go south! Have you no conscience? Do you have any sense of morality left in your heart?”<br /> <br /> “You've lost your reputation in North Hampton, and everyone knows that. Have you no shame to have the brass neck to come round here?”<br /> <br /> “Everyone knows why you're back. You want to leech off the Garrison family; you want our money, isn't it?!”<br /> <br /> “You've long been expelled from the Garrison family, you ungrateful wretch! The Garrison family has nothing to do with you! Now, get lost!”<br /> <br /> Levi's adoptive parents rose to their feet and pointed at his nose, hurling abusive remarks at him.<br /> <br /> The Garrison family's brazenness of distorting the truth was mind-bending.<br /> <br /> How disappointing!<br /> <br /> He had thought they would feel somewhat apologetic after six years, but they were unexpectedly more aggravated.<br /> <br /> They took everything from him, crippled him, and ruined his reputation, turning everything upside down and making everything his fault instead.<br /> <br /> The Garrison family didn't have the slightest bit of compassion to speak of.<br /> <br /> Bryan zipped towards Levi, assessing him condescendingly. “Hmph! Don't you just want money now that you're back?”<br /> <br /> Flap!<br /> <br /> Bryan threw a credit card to the ground and lifted his foot, shaking his leather shoe. “My vamp is dirty. Lick it clean, and the one million in this card is yours!”<br /> <br /> His words elicited a fresh burst of laughter as the crowd looked at Levi as if they were looking at a dog.<br /> <br /> “Oh my! One million? That's more than enough to cover his living expenses. I bet he'll lick it!”<br /> <br /> Victoria gave a wry look.<br /> <br /> “On your knees!” Bryan roared, seeing that Levi was glaring at him. “Now, lick my shoe!”<br /> <br /> Levi stared at him coldly and held his peace.<br /> <br /> “Kneel!!!”<br /> <br /> Bryan rushed to Levi and pressed his shoulders, forcing him to kneel, but the latter didn't budge.<br /> <br /> “I said kneel!!!”<br /> <br /> Bryan struggled to rivet him to the spot.<br /> <br /> “Drop dead!”<br /> <br /> Levi suddenly slapped Bryan in the face, sending him flying almost eight meters away.<br /> <br /> Silence engulfed the room; one could even hear a pin drop!<br /> <br /> Unbelievable!<br /> <br /> Everyone in the Garrison family was stupefied.<br /> <br /> What did Levi just do?<br /> <br /> Did he just knock Bryan to the ground with a single slap?<br /> <br /> Plod!<br /> <br /> Bryan was about to get up when Levi stepped on him, crushed him, and crossed over him.<br /> <br /> Looking at the approaching Levi, Joseph instinctively stepped back.<br /> <br /> Levi went up the stage and adjusted the microphone stand.<br /> <br /> Everyone looked at him, wondering what he was going to do next.<br /> <br /> “Listen up, everyone...”<br /> <br /> “I'm sure you remember what happened six years ago, yes? For the love and care I had received from the Garrison family during childhood, I'm giving you one month to kneel before me for three days and three nights to repent your sins!”<br /> <br /> “Remember, that's everyone from the Garrison family!”<br /> <br /> “If I don't see any shadow within a month, the outcome is simple—I swear I'll wipe off every single one of you here today!”<br /> <br /> Levi's voice was low and deep.<br /> <br /> But as soon as he finished, the crowd was laughing like a drain.<br /> <br /> “Did prison life eat his brain or what? What conceited nonsense is he spouting?”<br /> <br /> “The Garrison family right now is a juggernaut in North Hampton. He's just a criminal. Isn't it a pipe dream to destroy the Garrison family?”<br /> <br /> “Did he knock his brain loose or something?”<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> “Bear in mind that I have limited patience. You only have one month! Of course, you may gather your strengths and connections to fight against me! I'll be waiting.”<br /> <br /> Levi then took his leave straightaway, disregarding the mockeries of the crowd.<br /> <br /> “Stop right there, you *! Did I tell you to leave?”<br /> <br /> Ben, Levi's adoptive father, wanted to stop him.<br /> <br /> “Ben, let him go!” Joseph said. “It's a big day today. I don't want to see bloodshed!”<br /> <br /> He was afraid about the impact that would bring about if the big shot saw this.<br /> <br /> “Yeah! There are so much more opportunities to take care of him!”<br /> <br /> “He's in luck that the big shot is on his way!”<br /> <br /> With that, Levi left the place under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people.<br /> <br /> After Levi had left, Joseph asked anxiously, “Jaycob, where's the big shot? Isn't he here yet?”<br /> <br /> Jaycob looked dazed. “According to the time, he should have arrived long ago. Let me ask...”<br /> <br /> After making a phone call, Jaycob blanched. “Dad, the big shot was here, but he left already.”<br /> <br /> “What? The big shot was here?”<br /> <br /> “The big shot said that the Garrison family are a bunch of unworthy stupid pigs!”<br /> <br /> “I get it. He must have left in a fit of rage after witnessing the ruckus that brat had created!”<br /> <br /> “He must have thought that the Garrison family disrespected him!”<br /> <br /> Joseph trembled with rage. “That brat will pay for this!”<br /> <br /> The multitude reacted accordingly.<br /> <br /> Levi has ruined the Garrison family's glorious event!<br /> <br /> He just pissed off the big shot!<br /> <br /> That's equivalent to cutting off the Garrison family's chance to reach the sky!<br /> <br /> Levi Garrison is indeed the sinner of the Garrison family!<br /> <br /> At that moment, the Garrison family wished to skin Levi alive.<br /> <br /> His adoptive parents, brother, and sister-in-law especially hated him to the bone. “Just you wait, Levi!”<br /> <br /> After leaving Crystal Palace Hotel, the next person that Levi was going to look for was his wife, Zoey Lopez.<br /> <br /> In this life, he owed no debt to the Garrison family, nor his friends and classmates, but Zoey.<br /> <br /> He had been imprisoned on the second day after the wedding, making Zoey lose her reputation. That even put her through six years of widowhood.<br /> <br /> This woman has carried too much on her shoulders for six years.<br /> <br /> But now that I'm back, I'll hold your hand, and we'll conquer the world together!<br /> <br /> After hesitating for a long time, Levi pressed the doorbell.<br /> <br /> Thud!<br /> <br /> The young woman dropped her mobile phone to the ground as the door opened.<br /> <br /> Upon taking a closer look at Levi's face, Zoey broke down in tears.<br /> <br /> “Zoey, quick, just get the parcel and come in. It's almost time for the family banquet! Your grandfather is going to settle your marriage at the family banquet tonight. You can't get away from this!”<br /> <br /> “Yeah! Quickly get dressed! Your grandfather is going to set you up with someone else!”<br /> <br /> Zoey's parents' voices sounded from the inside.<br /> <br /> “Zoey, I'm back!” Levi said excitedly, wanting to fling his arm around her, but Zoey slapped his hands away.<br /> <br /> “Why did you come back? I've already forgotten about you...”<br /> <br /> Zoey's voice was choked with sobs.<br /> <br /> Very soon after, Zoey's parents, Aaron and Caitlyn, came out, looking horrified.<br /> <br /> “How dare you have the nerve to come back? Do you know how much criticism my family has suffered because of you? Especially Zoey. Do you know how much she has suffered for the past six years?” Zoey's father, Aaron, reproached.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, her mother, Caitlyn, pushed and shoved Levi. “You should know that this relationship between you and Zoey is impossible in this life the moment you went to jail! You're a criminal! You're just a street rat in North Hampton! You're only putting Zoey in harm's way by coming to see her!”<br /> <br /> Naturally, Levi had known of Zoey's sufferings for the past six years, including her refusal to remarry because of him.<br /> <br /> Levi put on a serious face. “This time, I'm back for good. I won't leave Zoey ever again. I will grant her a bright future and let her own the world!”<br /> <br /> Levi's declaration had Aaron and Caitlyn hooting with laughter.<br /> <br /> “You've spent six years in jail. How are you going to give Zoey a future?” Aaron asked with a sneer.<br /> <br /> “Yeah! With your mouth?” Caitlyn chimed in. “There's a limit to talking big!”<br /> <br /> Nonetheless, Levi smiled. “Don't worry. I'll reclaim what I lost in those years! I'll destroy the Garrison family in a month!”<br /> <br /> “Levi!” This time, even Zoey couldn't bear to listen to his nonsense any longer. “Can we be more realistic? It doesn't matter if you just get out of prison. Can't you just be down to earth and start anew? I believe that you will make a comeback one day, but you can't just indulge in tall talk. Do you know just how powerful the Garrison family is right now? And besides, today's era is a far cry from what it was six years ago!”<br /> <br /> “Zoey, trust me,” Levi said earnestly. “I can make the Garrison family bow at my feet with just a word!”<br /> <br /> Preposterous!<br /> <br /> Levi's bravado nearly drove Zoey and her parents round the bend.<br /> <br /> Having been caged up for six years, did he finally lose his mind?<br /> <br /> “Fine. If you say so,” Zoey said, shoving her mobile phone to Levi directly. “Then prove it! I'd like to see how you make the Garrison family bow their heads with just one word!”<br /> <br /> “I...”<br /> <br /> Levi was stunned.<br /> <br /> It was true that he could exterminate the Garrison family with his words, but he had given them one month; it would be too uneventful to destroy them now.<br /> <br /> “See, you can't do it, can't you? Then don't you ever talk big if you can't!”<br /> <br /> Zoey smashed the phone to the ground, marking her wrath.<br /> <br /> Following that, her parents pushed Levi away. “Go now. You're not welcome here. We've got a family banquet to attend!”<br /> <br /> “No. Mom, Dad, let him in!”<br /> <br /> “What do you mean, Zoey?”<br /> <br /> “I won't remarry. My husband is back.”<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Aaron and Caitlyn couldn't talk her round, so they could only let him in.<br /> <br /> After that, Zoey took Levi to her bedroom.<br /> <br /> “Since you're back, you're still my husband. I don't care about the gossips. Besides, I believe you're innocent, and anyone with discerning eyes can see that it was the Garrison family who'd framed you!”<br /> <br /> Levi could feel the warmth in his heart.<br /> <br /> She trusted him, and that was more than enough for him.<br /> <br /> “But you must promise me to start from zero and be down to earth. I believe you will achieve something great with your ability! I'll give you five years!”<br /> <br /> “That's unnecessary,” Levi said. “Just give me one month. In a month, I'll de—”<br /> <br /> “Shut up! I don't want to listen to your nonsensical and unrealistic talks! Why can't we just be realistic?” Zoey shouted.<br /> <br /> “Even if you have nothing now, as long as you take one step at a time, I believe you'll get back on your feet!”<br /> <br /> Levi shut up obediently.<br /> <br /> “I bought you these six years ago.” Zoey took out a suit from the cupboard. “Change into it at once and follow me to the family banquet!”<br /> <br /> “Zoey, what is up with you?”<br /> <br /> Seeing Levi all dressed up, Aaron and Caitlyn were naturally dissatisfied.<br /> <br /> Zoey clung onto Levi's arm. “Mom, Dad, Levi is my husband now! I will make myself clear to Grandpa tonight!”<br /> <br /> Aaron and Caitlyn looked daggers at Levi, sighing helplessly, “For Heaven's sake!”<br /> <br /> The Lopez family banquet was held at Golden Port Restaurant, where they contracted the entire restaurant.<br /> <br /> Naturally, the Lopez family was not as powerful as the Garrison family, but they were considered above average in North Hampton.<br /> <br /> When Zoey and her family arrived at the main hall, they were greeted with strange and jesting gazes.<br /> <br /> In the past, when Zoey and Levi had gotten married, Aaron's family status was the highest in the Lopez family.<br /> <br /> But after Levi's downfall, Aaron's family had experienced a seismic shift in life, and their status in the Lopez family took a nosedive as they became the subject of ridicule, especially during family events.<br /> <br /> “Look! Is that Levi beside Zoey?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah! It's really him! He's released from prison already?”<br /> <br /> All eyes fell on Levi at once.<br /> <br /> Harry, the head of the Lopez family, snorted and turned a blind eye to the four of them.<br /> <br /> The old man's favorite now was Fabian, his eldest son, and his family.<br /> <br /> Mainly because Fabian's son-in-law, Samuel Robertson, was of mixed ethnicity who was born rich and had lived overseas.<br /> <br /> This time, Harry was going to set up Zoey with Samuel's younger brother, Chris, who had been casting covetous eyes on Zoey for some time now.<br /> <br /> With no one paying attention to them, Aaron and his family could only find a place to sit first.<br /> <br /> As they were about to take their seats, a voice was heard. “No, Aaron. You guys can't sit here.”<br /> <br /> It was a reminder from Henry, the second eldest son of the Lopez family.<br /> <br /> “What?”<br /> <br /> “There are sitting arrangements to the family banquet this time.”<br /> <br /> Aaron looked puzzled. “How so?”<br /> <br /> “There are four tables for the family banquet! And it's decided according to the family contribution!”<br /> <br /> “For example, the first table is given to the family who contributed over five million to the family in a year; a million for the second table, a hundred thousand for the third table, and less than a hundred thousand for the last table, or should I say no contribution at all!”<br /> <br /> Henry smiled smugly. “Our family has made good profits this year, and we've contributed just about five million to the family. So excuse me, but this table here is ours.”<br /> <br /> “Of course, you can also sit at the first table without contributing. That is if your family has tens of millions of assets.”<br /> <br /> “Unfortunately, we couldn't be any clearer about your family's situation,” sneered Maddison, Henry's wife. “Now that there's an ex-convict in your family, I'm sorry that you guys can only sit at the last table!”<br /> <br /> “Mom, Dad, as far as I know, Uncle Aaron and his family didn't contribute much to the family last year,” said Shaun, Henry's son, walking over with a glass in his hand. “Their company went bankrupt, and they even borrowed over two million from Grandpa. Clearly, it's a negative contribution. It's unfair to the relatives sitting at the fourth table! I say we add a fifth table for negative contributors!”<br /> <br /> “Yeah, I agree!”<br /> <br /> The rest of the Lopez family concurred.<br /> <br /> “Okay, we'll do as Shaun says! This shall motivate you people!”<br /> <br /> Harry gave his consent.<br /> <br /> “Hurry up and sit down. Don't just stand there and make a fool out of yourselves.” Harry glared at Aaron.<br /> <br /> With that, Aaron and his family walked over to the fifth table quietly.<br /> <br /> “Which table should a ten billion contributor sit at?” asked Levi suddenly, pulling Zoey's arm.<br /> <br /> Levi was the one and only five-star God of War, and wealth to him was just a number.<br /> <br /> In fact, he didn't know exactly how much he had, but he could still fork out ten billion casually for the family contribution on behalf of Aaron's family.<br /> <br /> As soon as Levi said that, everyone was stunned at his query.<br /> <br /> After a few moments of silence, the crowd blossomed into an enormous belly laugh.<br /> <br /> “Ten billion? You must be kidding me! Even the aristocratic Garrison family may not have that much money!”<br /> <br /> “This kid must have a loose screw in the head to come here and embarrass himself!”<br /> <br /> “Hey, Aaron. Did you know you have a son-in-law worth ten billion? Hahaha...”<br /> <br /> Sensing the jeering gazes and titter from the people around, Aaron and his family wished the ground could swallow them whole.<br /> <br /> This is embarrassing!<br /> <br /> Too embarrassing!<br /> <br /> Zoey's temper sparked, and her eyes blazed with rage.<br /> <br /> “Levi Garrison, is it not enough for you to talk big at home that you have to come here and embarrass me? Do you think you haven't done enough after all these years?”<br /> <br /> Zoey trembled as tears silently rolling down her cheeks.<br /> <br /> “But I do have ten billion!” Levi said helplessly.<br /> <br /> At this time, no one bothered to listen to Levi's sheer bull because the star of the day, Fabian's son-in-law, had arrived.<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Harry, went out to the entrance to greet him.<br /> <br /> “I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting.” Samuel wore an apologetic expression.<br /> <br /> “Your flight was nearly ten hours late. What's up with that?” Harry asked in concern.<br /> <br /> Samuel smiled. “Grandpa, don't you know? A big shot has arrived in North Hampton, and North Hampton Airport was sealed off for eight hours.”<br /> <br /> What? Is there such a thing?<br /> <br /> “Who's this big shot to have the airport sealed off, Samuel?” Harry asked smilingly.<br /> <br /> “It's not just that. It's said that a hundred planes escorted the private jet of that big shot, and there were a hundred thousand people guarding at the airport.”<br /> <br /> “Damn!”<br /> <br /> “What?”<br /> <br /> The crowd gasped in shock.<br /> <br /> “He's the commander-in-chief of nine military regions, the God of War of Erudia. Haha, you may not believe it if I say this, but I met this great man when I was at a gathering abroad, and we even exchanged numbers. I didn't expect him to take up a post in North Hampton! I'll ask him out sometime in support of the Lopez family. That way, you'll gain a foothold in North Hampton in no time,” Samuel said loftily.<br /> <br /> “God! That's incredible! How did you even get to know someone like him?”<br /> <br /> “My brother-in-law is so cool!”<br /> <br /> “The Lopez family's son-in-law is one of a kind! Of course, except for one!”<br /> <br /> Everyone looked at Samuel with veneration; the old man was all the more impressed, Aaron and Caitlyn begrudged Fabian's son-in-law, and Zoey was envious as well.<br /> <br /> But she believed that in five years, Levi, too, could make her grandfather proud.<br /> <br /> Yet, unbeknownst to them, Levi was actually barely stifling in his laughter.<br /> <br /> This kid is quite something to know that I've arrived.<br /> <br /> But his ability to make up nonsense is even more impressive.<br /> <br /> “You're saying you know the God of War?” Levi asked.<br /> <br /> Samuel raised his head. “Yeah, we had a drink together. Is there a problem?”<br /> <br /> Levi chuckled. “Then why don't I recognize you?”<br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here<br /> Install the APP to search for the book title "The Return of the God of War" Read more exciting content immediately	LEARN_MORE	https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?	103138129056172	Hot style novel	https://facebook.com/100083332361004	9,359	5	1,821,533,191,647,120	2024-04-07 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	Learn more	Hot style novel	120208744651920344	page.tapon.com	NONE	video		https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?lang=en&id=5528&brand=3&app=0&ppid=1779&pid=FBW2A&campaign=%7B%7Bcampaign.id%7D%7D&adset_id=%7B%7Badset.id%7D%7D&ad_id=%7B%7Bad.id%7D%7D&utm_source=FBW2A&utm_medium=%7B%7Bplacement%7D%7D&utm_campaign=%7B%7Bcampaign.id%7D%7D&utm_term=%7B%7Badset.id%7D%7D&utm_content=%7B%7Bad.id%7D%7D&ori_campaign_id=120205896062630344&ori_adset_id=120205896062730344&ori_ad_id=120205896068810344	2024-04-07 02:41	https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/436495816_781371507250853_2740818175824213586_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=aWNsnNeO5Y8Ab6I0_Hz&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.xx&oh=00_AfAS5max1Js1OWZd1xjXF6QGWa_aJj3GoeHqI-1xQuu3Sg&oe=6618F657	person_profile	Hot style novel	https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/436357924_1358506194743579_7685741244747845450_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=oAhhBy0EVHgAb5vXVKM&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=00_AfCMCuR-07p_Jw_8vWaBgTFFCjK--gyJiOX5Miz73lkHlQ&oe=6618CAB6	3	Hot style novel	2024-04-07 02:00	View Edit Delete

The words from my ex-husband still lingered in my ears.<br /> "I know you cheated on me, Malia! I saw the pictures!"<br /> I laughed inconsolably. If he loved me truly he would have gone to me for verification instead of bedding himself with 3 sluts.<br /> I was getting scared. This wasn't the husband I knew at all.<br /> ————————<br /> <br /> It was five in the afternoon I'm just arriving from the ladies banquet. Mason had me attend these silly meetings to give a proper presentation of a powerful man's wife. Since I love him dearly and I love seeing that man happy...i go. At first I thought it would such but turns out it was a great committee with women that were lively and friendly and my friends. I never thought after a three year marriage I would be apart of a prestigious organization of women. Something I am very proud of.<br /> Mason and I met back in college I graduated with a Masters of Arts in fashion and him of course business and politics. I was amazed by the way when we met I the outcast girl with big glasses and loose clothing had grabbed the attention of a god-like looking man... literally.<br /> •Memory•<br /> I was in my final year and working on a project line. My class was preparing for the night to have models walk the catwalk in our designs. I noticed him but he never saw me. the girl with the hair up in a bun, jeans, and a shirt that made me look bigger then what I am but it never bothered me. I was comfortable in my clothing. One of the models happen to be his weekly flame was trying one of my dressed when she fell and twisted her ankle.<br /> "That is why i don't wear 4-inch heels on a daily base." I said as my instructor looked at me "Go on and put the dress on." she said strictly. "NO! she's fat she'll break the dress!" Liv, Mason's "girlfriend," said trying to walk. By the time my instructor could say anything I was already in the back fitting into my own design.<br /> Nervous and shy I slowly stepped out the pearly white dress hugged my curves in the right spots and my small frame fit perfectly. As they were arguing, I could see Mason trying to calm Liv down. When he stopped and looked up he looked in awe like he saw someone more beautiful than me? though I was the only one on the stage. My instructor Ms. Viola turned around and smiled "OH Malia! you look dazzling in your dress!" the dress was a wedding gown. a strapless mermaid dress with transparent white material for the train. Ms. Viola came onto the stage and loosened up my hair letting my chocolate brown hair cascade down. I smiled and giggled and frowned when she took my glasses off. "There's the beauty you hide." she said making blush. She turned to the crowd "Doesn't she look beautiful and she designed the dress! Such Talent!" She said clapping that the elements with the light and fabric material combine well.<br /> I looked down and see Mason still staring at me. Blushing I am escorted out so I can change out of my dress and into my clothes. As I walked off the stage my friend Dalia came took a rubber band and tides my shirt back in a knot. "There much better...dont take it off it's my birthday remember," she said giving me the death glare. smiling i saluted her and went back to finishing preparations.<br /> That night it was a huge success and i received a scholarship for my designs by a local designer. only 3 semesters to go. I am going places already. As the night ended and everyone has gone out to the after-party I drove to a local cafe called "Millie's" and order my favorite soy chai tea latte. As I sat at a booth alone sketching a new design that occurred to me someone joined me. I looked up and there he stood Mason Michealson in the flesh, in my favorite booth as I call it.<br /> "Um hi," I said shyly<br /> "Hello I'm Mason." he said as if I didn't know who he was! The whole campus knows who he is.<br /> "I'm Malia." I replied back.<br /> "I know who you are." that's a miracle. "Your the designer who looked absolutely stunning in her own wedding design...is that your idea for a wedding dress?" he asked me.<br /> I froze "Ummm no my idea is more historically elegant." I responded as I turned the page over and showed him my dream dress. "this is my dress" there was a paused as he..what it looks to be a man appreciating my work of art. "Hopefully one day it will come alive....if i ever get married that is." I said looking down. He looked up at me as I took a sip of my latte. "You would look beautiful in this dress and the man that marries you is going to be lucky," he said. My eyes widen in shock, did he! did he just. Say that! HE DID!<br /> "If I ever find him." I said looking down as I took my drawing back.<br /> "Maybe you just did." my heart stops after those words. I think he's drunk or high on something! He can't ..I...I ...I'm not his type. My nerves are getting to me oh god. I suddenly stood up and grabbed my belongings and dashed out for my life. He's a player he has a history and a reputation with the girls on campus. I could just be his next game. No, No I am not that kind of girl.<br /> I unlocked the car and open the car door. "Malia don't go I didn't mean to scare you." I stopped in place and turned around to face him. " I'm not scared of what you said I'm scared of you. I know of your player history a different girl every week or day I'm not that kind of girl who's going to let myself be swooped away by some guy who's being extra nice to me when I've seen how you behave with others..so rude and cold. I am not a conquest... I want forever and you can't give me forever regardless of your pretty words. I have a brain compare to your "girlfriends" I said as and got into my car and left him.<br /> After that, he was persistent to win me and in the end, he did. We got married a month after graduating both with honors in our field. Three years of heavenly bliss. He was my first real love, first buss, first experience. I thought it was going to be forever.<br /> I walked into our home and headed up the stairs to change for the evening. As I head up the stairs hearing noises that I only hear when Mason and I are doing....things in private. I walk down the hall to see multiple sets of clothes scattered on the floor. My heart stops and I look at the door into my bedroom where the noises is coming from. The moaning and groaning and the sounds of pleasure. A tear race down as suddenly takes the doorknob and open the door. Gasping from both sides his eyes weren't with panic they were calmed like he didn't care. He was in bed with three women all blonde just like the women he uses to go after before we started our relationship.<br /> I couldn't say a word so I left I ran for my life and almost stumbled down the stairs. Screaming as my knees hit the floor. I got up and ran out of the back and towards the lake. Clouds were moving in as it started to rain. I stood my dock letting the rainfall on my hoping that I could just die. When it started to thunder I walked back to the house...his house. He was in the living room worrying yelling out orders. As I walked in I shivered as the cold air introduces me "home" all eyes are on me. His eyes were glaring at me, what's his problem I didn't cheat on him.<br /> "Mrs. Rose bring me a tea please to the guest room and Chester I'm going to change and I'll need boxes up in the bedroom so I can pack my belonging," I said walking past them not saying a word to Mason. As I passed him he grabbed my arm, "Packing! Where are you going to your lover!" he said with pain and anger in his voice "Lover? What are you talking about? No, my parents." I said taking my arm back and I left him standing there.<br /> After my hot shower and I was I warm clothes I stared at the bed of the guest room thinking of what to do next. How could he? "What's his name?" I look behind him looking baffled. "Who?" I simply respond.<br /> "Don't play games with me, Malia! I know you cheated on me! I saw the pictures!" so confused and dizzy I shook my head. "Me cheating are you drunk?" His eyes blazed with anger as he took me by my shoulders and shook me violently. "Don't Lie TO Me!" scared I closed my eyes and cried as I figured it out. He cheated on me because he believes I cheated on him. His hands were going down to my stomach pressing in hard and instinctively I pushed him away and slapped him. "I want the divorce and I never ever want to see you again....as always you assume before asking questions." Just in time, Chester comes in with Mrs. Rose. After an hour in I was gone...he didn't even say goodbye. The worst part I was expecting him to do so. I am so foolish, I shouldn't be hard on myself the signs were there. Sighting, I started thinking about my future and how I was going to survive and obviously not off my soon-to-be-ex-husband no way.<br /> I didn't kill myself studying for nothing. I still have connections and I am amazingly enough a fashion figure. I can do this I will survive...just like the song. Chester dropped me off at my parents who graciously allowed me to stay for a few days.<br /> The next morning a week later I woke up with a text from my still husband to meet at the lawyer's office. Three hours later I was back in my tight jeans and white tank top with a loose dark green cotton sweater and grey high heels. I got used to them .... I'm addicted now hush.<br /> The heels of my shoes clicked against the stone floor as I walked into the lawyer's office. Upon entering I had to witness Mason flirting with the lawyer. Gah! I quietly enter and slammed the door. "Mason stop flirting with every living breathing thing you can start again in momentarily right?" Shocking them both with my entrance. "Op didn't expect me to be so early..... too bad chop-chop assemble the papers I have an appointment after here," I said as I approached the chair and sat down crossing my legs. I just happen to be wearing his favorite shoes. Noticing how he was moving in his chair.<br /> As the lawyer or Ms. Renee explained I will be left with nothing but ten thousand dollars that were already in my bank account. So I had no say what so ever. MEN, Once we signed the papers I looked at him and looked away and walked out of the office. I was halfway down the hall when he came after me.<br /> "Malia." I don't know why I stopped but I did. Turning around to face him "What is it, Mr. Michealson." I said almost formally. "This happened because of you." He had the nerve to do this. I was about to open my mouth when i suddenly became dizzy. "MALIA!" he took hold of me to keep me from falling. "Let me go! I'm fine Mason." I took a deep breath. "Sorry... I...I. I haven't eaten much since I left your house...actually nothing at all amazing that I'm still standing...why am I telling you I am not your business anymore." I laughed inconsolably then stopped and slapped across the face with tears streaming down. "You are a jerk" emphasizing the word oh so humbly. "If you loved me truly you would have gone to me for verification instead of bedding yourself with 3 sluts which I hope you get checked for any STDs, but then again not my problem your not my husband anymore....you Brute!" I said finishing off my rant. I turned on my heels and left the office and left to meet with my mom for the doctor's appointment.<br /> After the doctor's office I stared out the window crying, I am alone, jobless, and pregnant and today I am a newly divorced woman.<br /> <br /> "You need to tell him or at least let him know." Livia said as she rubbed my back. I sniffle and dried my tears away nodding. I looked at her and closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Your right...he has the right to know at least," I told her. "And I am going to do that right now," I said as I stood up and walked over to my closet picking out jeans and a comfortable red plaid blouse along with grey flats. "Why now? Why not later? Livia asked trying to block my way from my dresser. "Because I want to get this over with and I have work remember at the cafe later in the afternoon," I said as I made my way behind her and cleaned up my face and applied the most natural amount of makeup on with a pale pink matte and shine on my lips. "I'll go tell your mom you're going out," she said leaving the bedroom. "Thank you," I said as I grabbed my handbag.<br /> An hour later I arrived at The Michealson Inc. As I walked into the lobby I walked right pass everyone with all eyes on me. I suppose they're wondering what's the ex-wife doing here. I didn't care at all I stepped into the elevator. With a group of executives "Gentlemen and ladies." I said politely as they returned a hello or nod. We were only 20 floors up and left with three executives. "Please make sure Mason remembers he has the private Humanity charity gala and that he is required a date," I said remember the gala we were supposed to go together to...I don't know why I even remember.<br /> Cheese and sprinkles the elevator doors open and that horrible cucumber lotion smell came rushing into my nostrils. That sense! Making me dizzy, I never liked cucumber lotion has a Halloween type smell, nauseous much.<br /> As I walk out I see Maddy polite smiling face turn into a frown to glare. I walked to her desk as everyone stopped and stared at me "Good day Maddy I need to see Mason is he in his office?" I asked kindly. Rudely she replies "Yes but he's with his "client," she said "Why don't you leave and go with your lover." she said all brave and bold. Behind her, I could hear a couple of the other assistants cheer her on. "Excuse me?" I wasn't confused about the accusations of me having a lover but my ex-husband secretary to know this private information. "Your not the bosses wife you can...." The doors open and out came Elizabeth Renee aka the divorce lawyer with a smiling ex-husband of mine. She was blushing and smiling in her black dress addressing her curves to the world. They didn't see me which is weird I'm the human in plaid!<br /> Mason leaned in and busses her. My heart broken into million pieces, but then my mind click he's just using her she will be gone by next week. Clearing my throat his eyes widen when he saw me. Ms. Renee blushed and left instantly. " I need to talk to you privately," I said stepping forward. "Make an appointment then Maddy schedule her in nine or in three years I don't know you decide on some month on the 16 at 10:30 am," he said as Maddy nodded and typed in the information "oh and I took the liberty of calling every fashion-related agencies with the assistance of one of my assistants who volunteered to help to not hire you so I hope you enjoy minimum wage.." He said like my dreams didn't matter to him anymore. That is his revenge..my blood boiled, I worked my hip in college to fulfill my dreams and now that he...he..he.I just want to die! My dreams, my goals, my baby! How am I supposed to raise a child on my own if I have multiple jobs and not the field I love! get a minimum wages job and work my life and miss all the important milestone of my baby. He hit it! Please prepare for an ultimatum.<br /> "Maddison cancels that appointment I won't be able to attend I might be in labor alone in nine months or busy with a small child in three years," I said boldly. My words stopped everyone and everything around me. Mason stopped and looked up and saw the tear streaming down.<br /> "Your lying you can't be! That's not my child. I'm sure it's your lover's child! You bimbo!" he yelled out again he hit the button again.<br /> I walked up to him and in front of all his employees and clients I slapped him across his angelic and God-like face. "NEVER IN YOUR MISERABLE LIFE CALL ME A bimbo AGAIN!" I shouted.<br /> "I only came here to inform you that I am having YOUR child! But please clear this one detail for me....what is the man's name that I supposedly cheated on you on? hmm, cause I have no idea who he is!" I said with all honesty. The people around me, I can hear their whispers, their gossip. Mason just stood there stuck his shocked expression. "Madison I'm sure you know what's the jerk's name? Since you obviously know all the gossip of the office and everything right?" I said giving her my death glare. "Alejandro Posada" she even took the newspaper with the picture and article even. I looked over it and it looks so familiar and then it clicked I remember him, I remember that day. I looked up at Mason and started laughing, "I regret the day I let your playboy hh intiio my heart!" I said I held the paper up and made the announcement, "This is a set up because on that day I was in there with Chief Botiago and Alejandro Posada was trying the women's committee samples for the charity we went too together three months ago and I was designing another "Michealson design" remember his mother's party, Mason? The dress she wore?" I shook my head as people started to realize what I was saying. "Your gullible and insecure hip has been greatly manipulated."<br /> "You destroy our marriage, my trust, and ruin my future!" I walked away with paper in hand and I stop turning around. "Look at me! Look at me real good Mason because this is the last time you will ever see my face and the child I hold here he or she will never know you! And know that it is your fault." I said as I left the lobby and went straight to the elevator. Mason shouted my name and ran towards me. I wanted to turn around and forgive him but the doors open and I stepped in and I was gone. I managed to sneak out of the building without being seen but they saw me they just didn't say anything!<br /> I stopped by a cafe shop and order a fruit platter before heading into my upcoming shift. As I ate I think fate struck me, it was him Alejandro Posada walked through those doors. My teary eyes met with his dark brown eyes. "You" he walked over to me and he looked down at the table seeing the paper.<br /> "I heard about your marriage I am so sorry," he said kindly. Sighting, I wiped my tears away. "It's ok I'll survive just need to find another job and go to the health department..I'm divorced and pregnant," I told him his eyes widen as my tears just rained on.<br /> "You'll find a job you're an extraordinary designer." I smile, "Mason blocked all my ties to the fashion world I called 10 companies and all said, "No we're not hiring" but I can hear their lies." I Wiped more tears away as he looked down. " I just want a new life and to disappear and never be seen again with my baby." And suddenly his head looked up "I have an idea", he leaned into me and whispered, "Marry me?" I blinked several times "what" flabbergasted I cocked my head confused and all. "Just say yes, I can give you my name and help you regain your name in the fashion world anonymously, and your baby will have a family and security," he said it all sounded nice but I don't love him.<br /> "I'm sorry, but no I won't marry you I don't even have feelings for you only as a friend," I said truthfully. Alejandro nodded. "I'm ok with that I'm gay anyway so the feeling is mutual. I'm not opposed to living a lie I've been doing it my whole life thanks to my grandparent's old values," he said clearing it up. It all made sense now literally why he was never seen with women but a few but mostly men.<br /> "What do you say disappear off the planet..which I mean country, raise your baby in a safe environment, make your designer dream come true, make a comeback, and inherit me as your best friend and "husband" hmm" I laughed as another man joined us.<br /> "This is my boyfriend," he said in a whisper "Jonathan, Jonathan this is my "future wife," he said as he gave him a crazy look. " I didn't even give you an answer!" I said quickly. "I'm just assuming you'll say yes so I can finally go to my Abuelita and tell her I getting married so she can stop pairing me up with women and he'll live with us he's my live-in assistant but people are getting suspicious," he said as they both took my hands. I helped him once and now he's returning the favor....big time.<br /> "Ok"<br /> "Really"<br /> "Yes!"<br /> I looked out the window and saw Mason standing there staring at me. I looked away and started asking about investigating who did this to us because it causes more problems on his side than mine. Alejandro looked behind me as he was on the phone talking to a lawyer about the newspaper. In the end, once Alejandro took my hand Mason left like he lost everything.<br /> One day I will confront him and prove to him my innocence not for our love for dignity.

I'm in front of the café. Call you later!” Emmanuel Lowe hung up on his mother impatiently.<br /> The twenty-eight-year-old man had never been in a relationship.<br /> <br /> After spending seven years in the army, he retired from the military and worked at a hospital in Yeringham for three years.<br /> <br /> He was a gynecologist at the hospital and made eighty thousand a year.<br /> <br /> Worried he would end up old and alone, Emmanuel's mother urged him to settle down. Since he had no idea where to begin when it came to dating, his mother took matters into her own hands and set him up on multiple blind dates.<br /> <br /> Thanks to her efforts, he had gone on seventeen blind dates so far.<br /> <br /> Alas, wedding bells were clearly not on the horizon for Emmanuel. It was frustrating. He knew he was just going through the motions at that point.<br /> <br /> “Help! Someone help me!”<br /> <br /> Right before Emmanuel entered the café, he heard someone calling out weakly for help.<br /> <br /> The cries came from an old man who had fallen on the roadside. Many pedestrians walked past him, but no one dared to stop and help him to his feet.<br /> <br /> After all, helping the old man could be more trouble than it was worth if one ended up with an expensive lawsuit for injuring him further. No one would do something that risky and foolish.<br /> <br /> It did not deter Emmanuel from stepping forward and helping the man to his feet. He asked, “Are you all right, sir?”<br /> <br /> “I'm fine! Thank you so much, young man! It's so hard to find people as kind as you these days. I must repay you for your kindness!” replied the old man with a smile.<br /> <br /> Emmanuel realized then that the old man's attire was at odds with his airs. Despite his tattered clothes, the old man's clean hands looked like those of a man accustomed to wealth.<br /> <br /> Still, he had no time to satisfy his curiosity. After confirming that the old man was unharmed, Emmanuel rushed into the café for his blind date. He never once considered being repaid for his kind act earlier.<br /> <br /> The café was massive and practically structured like a maze.<br /> <br /> Emmanuel's mother mentioned that his blind date was seated at table number eight. He wandered through the confusing café, but before he could locate the correct table, he stumbled into a special area.<br /> <br /> The lighting was softer there, and the floor was scattered with fresh petals.<br /> <br /> The sweet scent of flowers wafted through the air. He wondered if he had set foot in heaven.<br /> <br /> Emmanuel raised his eyes and immediately froze.<br /> <br /> A beautiful, elegant woman sat before a table in the room.<br /> <br /> It was no exaggeration to say she embodied perfection itself.<br /> <br /> The heavens clearly decided to shower all their favors on her.<br /> <br /> The woman quietly sipped her coffee with her legs crossed neatly to the side. On the table was a non-translated copy of The Power Broker.<br /> <br /> When she noticed Emmanuel barging into the room, she looked up at him in confusion and displeasure.<br /> <br /> Thump! Thump! Thump!<br /> <br /> When Emmanuel recovered from the shock of stumbling upon the beautiful stranger, he realized his heart was about to beat its way out of his chest.<br /> <br /> Never once had he ever felt so attracted to a woman in his twenty-eight years of life.<br /> <br /> The countless female bodies he had seen in his work as a gynecologist hardly appealed to him. At some point, he even wondered if he was attracted to women at all.<br /> <br /> Against all odds, it seemed, the young woman before him made his heart race like a runaway horse.<br /> <br /> Am I simply nervous, or am I already attracted to her?<br /> <br /> More surprisingly, Emmanuel noticed a large number eight sign on the woman's table.<br /> <br /> She's my blind date?<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath to calm himself before approaching her table and taking a seat opposite her.<br /> <br /> The young woman's expression grew increasingly flabbergasted. There was even a hint of hostility in her pretty eyes.<br /> <br /> The audacity of this man! Barging into my private room is bad enough, but he's going to sit opposite me like it's nobody's business?<br /> <br /> Emmanuel ignored her expression. It was not the first time a woman had scoffed at him.<br /> <br /> They were free to go their separate ways after getting the blind date done and over with.<br /> <br /> He introduced himself, declaring, “Hi! My name is Emmanuel Lowe. I'm twenty-eight years old, and I work as a gynecologist. I make eighty thousand a year and don't own a car or a house.”<br /> <br /> Any man would need an incredible amount of courage to say such things to a woman, but Emmanuel appeared unusually calm and unfazed.<br /> <br /> The young woman stared at him in shock. A moment later, her lips curved into a smirk, and she replied with an introduction of her own.<br /> <br /> “Nice to meet you. I'm Mackenzie Quillen. I'm twenty-seven years old with dual doctorates in finance and business administration from Harvard University. I made three billion last year, and I have a car and a house.”<br /> <br /> Emmanuel was stunned.<br /> <br /> What is happening?<br /> <br /> He always thought women on blind dates came with red flags.<br /> <br /> Mackenzie, however, was arguably flawless.<br /> <br /> Where's the catch?<br /> <br /> All sorts of fantastical theories filled Emmanuel's mind.<br /> <br /> Mackenzie smirked at his perplexed expression. The pride in her cool gaze was evident.<br /> <br /> She deliberately introduced herself to put the stranger in a difficult spot and intimidate him into retreating.<br /> <br /> As expected, awkward silence lingered in the air after her words.<br /> <br /> Urgh, forget it!<br /> <br /> Whether Mackenzie was telling the truth was beside the point. Emmanuel decided to go through all the motions so he could at least mollify his mother, even if the date did not result in a trip to the altar.<br /> <br /> He declared, “I don't make much, but if you decide to date me, I promise I'll always protect and cherish you. I'll take over all the household chores so you can be a queen at home. Of course, I hope you'll allow me to preserve my masculine pride in front of my family. If we do get married, I can give you about five to six thousand every month.”<br /> <br /> It was a well-worn script that Emmanuel recited in a single breath.<br /> <br /> Mackenzie was dumbfounded at his earnest expression and apparent lack of shame at his much lower salary.<br /> <br /> A long while later, she burst into a chuckle.<br /> <br /> She had never met a man who could humor her so.<br /> <br /> “What are you laughing about?” Unimpressed by her reaction, Emmanuel continued, “I know I don't check all the boxes, but I promise I'll be a good and responsible husband if we're married!”<br /> <br /> Pfft!<br /> <br /> Mackenzie failed to keep in her snigger.<br /> <br /> An annoyed Emmanuel demanded, “Why are you laughing, Ms. Quillen? Don't you think you're being rather rude?”<br /> <br /> “Sir, you're a very good man!” Mackenzie stopped smiling and retorted coldly, “But I think you're the confused one here. I'm not here for a blind date!”<br /> <br /> Huh? What is going on?<br /> <br /> Emmanuel's eyes widened in horror as he sputtered, “Isn't this table number eight?”<br /> <br /> “Yes, but this is the VIP area. You must be looking for table number eight in the common dining area. Please go out and turn right!” She pointed a slender finger at the exit.<br /> <br /> “Oh... Sorry! I'm so sorry! I mixed things up!”<br /> <br /> Emmanuel wished he could sink into the floor in embarrassment. He jumped to his feet, ready to make a hasty escape.<br /> <br /> That was so embarrassing! How could I sit at the wrong table for a blind date? No wonder she was laughing so much. She must have thought I was shooting above my weight!<br /> <br /> Shortly after Emmanuel's departure, an old man entered Mackenzie's private room, escorted by four black-clad bodyguards.<br /> <br /> Emmanuel would have been astonished if he was still around. The old man was none other than the stranger he had helped earlier in front of the café!<br /> <br /> He implored, “Perhaps this is fate, Mackenzie. You're twenty-seven, but you've never been in a relationship because of your misandry. No man would dare come near you! But that young man succeeded! He's also a kind and just person. A while ago, he helped me outside the café and didn't expect a reward for his actions!”<br /> <br /> The old man's true identity was Terence Quillen, chairman of Yeringham's premier financial corporation.<br /> <br /> While his wealth could trump that of entire nations, he had a major regret in life.<br /> <br /> Terence had had three sons who tragically passed away before him. They either had no children of their own or only left daughters behind.<br /> <br /> Mackenzie was Terence's favorite granddaughter and next-in-line to helm Terence Group.<br /> <br /> Her intelligence and charisma did not change the fact that she was a woman.<br /> <br /> Before Terence met his maker, he wished his favorite granddaughter could give him a great-grandchild.<br /> <br /> That spurred him to fake his fall in front of the café and scout a decent man for his granddaughter. To his surprise, the young man who helped him earlier made a blunder of his own blind date and ended up meeting Mackenzie instead.<br /> <br /> Isn't that fate?<br /> <br /> Mackenzie remained stoically unmoved by her grandfather's words. “Grandpa, he may have passed your test, but he hasn't passed mine. I'll marry him if he aces my test.”<br /> <br /> She wanted to fulfill her grandfather's wish, but she naturally wished to promise herself to a good man.<br /> <br /> Marrying a man after one blind date was simply too hasty and careless.<br /> <br /> Terence's gaze lit up expectantly, and he replied, “All right! I'm sure he will pass your test!”<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Failure<br /> <br /> After turning right at the door, Emmanuel finally found table number eight in the common dining area.<br /> <br /> Sure enough, a woman was seated at the table, looking like she was running out of patience.<br /> <br /> Dressed in professional attire that accentuated her beautiful curves, she was, by all means, a sight to behold.<br /> <br /> Even though she didn't exude the same air of elegance that Mackenzie had, there was no denying she had the power to make men fall at her feet.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, Emmanuel wasn't disappointed in the slightest. After all, he was well aware of his own qualities.<br /> <br /> Without further ado, he straightened himself up and approached the woman with a smile.<br /> <br /> “Sorry I'm late! My name's Emmanuel Lowe. I'm twenty-eight years old, and I work as a gynecologist with an annual salary of eighty thousand—”<br /> <br /> “Stop!” the woman coldly interrupted before he could finish his introduction. “What's the meaning of this? With what little you have to offer; do you seriously think women would want to marry you? I can't believe you even had the nerve to be late! What right do you have to keep a woman waiting? This has been an utter waste of my time. Hmph!”<br /> <br /> After firing off a barrage of questions, the red-faced woman angrily splashed a glass of water on Emmanuel's face.<br /> <br /> The latter, who was caught off guard, instantly became soaking wet.<br /> <br /> Nevertheless, Emmanuel didn't lose his temper. After all, he was indeed late because he went to the wrong place, so he could understand why the woman was upset.<br /> <br /> “Hmph. You're twenty-eight and still only earning eighty-thousand a year. No wonder you're doing so poorly! Not only do you lack punctuality, but you also don't seem to take life seriously. You're doomed to be at the bottom of the social hierarchy your entire life! I'm shocked you even have the guts to go on a blind date with me... Stop being delusional!” the woman scolded as she shot Emmanuel a look of contempt.<br /> <br /> The next second, she grabbed her bag and stormed off, not once bothering to leave her name.<br /> <br /> To add insult to injury, she even waved a wad of cash in front of Emmanuel's face, then slapped it hard on the table as payment for the bill.<br /> <br /> The latter's gaze darkened instantly as rage began pulsing through his veins.<br /> <br /> This woman is humiliating me! I may not have high expectations for marriage, but that doesn't mean I don't have a temper! Argh! As much as I want to make her regret her actions, I know I don't have that capability...<br /> <br /> Since the woman was gone, Emmanuel, too, left the café glumly.<br /> <br /> To his surprise, he had only just stepped out the door when he saw a long-haired man deliberately colliding into a BMW and screaming in pain.<br /> <br /> Emmanuel couldn't help but furrow his brows. Oh, gosh. That man is clearly staging a car accident. Why is there so much trouble in this café today?<br /> <br /> “Ah! Someone's been hit!”<br /> <br /> “Argh! My leg's broken! Murderer!”<br /> <br /> Four men immediately rushed out to join the commotion when the long-haired man fell on the ground.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, Emmanuel saw right through their ploy. Ha! Those guys must be the co-conspirators!<br /> <br /> Just then, a young lady hastily exited the BMW, clad in a maroon sleeveless dress that revealed a large expanse of tender, fair skin.<br /> <br /> “What's the matter? How could I have injured your leg when I was driving so slowly?” she asked anxiously.<br /> <br /> Seconds later, the long-haired man's buddies surrounded the woman, demanding compensation. “Cut the crap! Pay up! Pay up now!”<br /> <br /> Several people in the café had witnessed the staged accident, but unfortunately, they were so afraid of the big, burly men that no one dared to confront them.<br /> <br /> “How much do you guys want?” the woman muttered helplessly, having resigned herself to the fact that she'd have to settle the matter with money.<br /> <br /> The group of thugs, however, began leering at and drooling over her.<br /> <br /> “Haha. Hey, why don't you have some fun with us?” one of the men suggested.<br /> <br /> Just like that, what had started as a staged accident quickly turned into public harassment.<br /> <br /> The pretty woman was so scared out of her wits that she staggered backward until she bumped into Emmanuel.<br /> <br /> Instead of taking advantage of her like the other thugs, Emmanuel stepped in front of her and glared at the long-haired man.<br /> <br /> “Your leg's broken, and you're asking for compensation, huh?”<br /> <br /> Upon seeing Emmanuel's menacing expression, the thugs felt chills down their spines.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Mackenzie was sitting in the café and watching the entire scene unfold.<br /> <br /> Well, well, well. Who knew that man would be so brave? I'm sure no one else would have the guts to go up against five thugs.<br /> <br /> The next second, Emmanuel stunned everyone by viciously kicking the long-haired man's leg.<br /> <br /> “Argh!” the latter shouted in pain as he began hopping on the leg that was supposedly broken.<br /> <br /> The onlookers instantly let out a collective gasp.<br /> <br /> Goodness gracious! That man is daring!<br /> <br /> Mackenzie, too, had curled her lips into a smile.<br /> <br /> The café was one of her properties, so naturally, she had also seen how Emmanuel's blind date went.<br /> <br /> I thought he was a timid man when he didn't flare up despite being splashed with water. Who knew he was just a gentleman who doesn't lose his temper with women? I must admit, he looks rather charming when he shows his tough side!<br /> <br /> “What's this? Didn't you say your leg's broken? I'm impressed you can still jump on it!” Emmanuel mocked.<br /> <br /> When the onlookers realized that the long-haired man had lied about his injury, they wasted no time scolding and criticizing him.<br /> <br /> By then, the other thugs had also lost their bravado and fell silent. After all, they knew the tables had turned on them.<br /> <br /> “Hmph. I'll let you off this time. You'd better watch your back!” the long-haired man warned before running away with his tail between his legs.<br /> <br /> With that, the pretty woman gave Emmanuel a warm smile and coyly gestured for him to get into her car. “Hey, handsome, thank you so much for your help. Would you like to go to my house for a drink?”<br /> <br /> Emmanuel, however, brushed her off without a second thought. “No, thank you. I have other things to do!”<br /> <br /> Seeing how unmoved he was by her advances, the woman couldn't help but stomp her feet in frustration.<br /> <br /> Back in the café, Mackenzie heard her grandfather burst into loud guffaws.<br /> <br /> “Haha! I told you so, Mackenzie! Didn't I say that man has an excellent character? Your assistant, Lexi, is such a beautiful woman, yet he refuses to give her the time of day! Once you guys are married, you won't have to worry about him betraying you!”<br /> <br /> The more Mackenzie ruminated about Terence's words, the more her impression of Emmanuel improved.<br /> <br /> “Don't be too happy yet, Grandpa! Men are either after looks or money,” Mackenzie uttered coldly before getting up.<br /> <br /> Ha! I doubt Emmanuel can pass my second secret test of character!<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Emmanuel had gotten home after his matchmaking session failed spectacularly.<br /> <br /> Needless to say, his sister, Roselynn Lowe, was frustrated beyond belief. “What? Another unsuccessful blind date?”<br /> <br /> This is the eighteenth time, for goodness' sake! My brother's a six-foot tall, fit, and upstanding young man. Why won't any woman take a fancy to him? He may be thick-skulled at times, but surely, someone will still appreciate him for his good looks, won't they?<br /> <br /> Emmanuel's mother, Alessandra Cadigan, seemed even more anxious as she hurriedly dragged him out of the house.<br /> <br /> “Mom, what are you doing?” Emmanuel asked, startled by how panic-stricken Alessandra was.<br /> <br /> “What am I doing? I'm worried sick about you!” the woman scolded without breaking her stride. “I don't understand it, either. Our neighbor's an unkempt twenty-eight-year-old novelist who's always cooped up at home, yet he's already planning for his second child! Why can't my son get a girlfriend? That woman didn't even stay for the blind date, did she? I paid good money to set this up for you! Let's go see her at her house right now!”<br /> <br /> “What?” Emmanuel choked out.<br /> <br /> Did I hear that right? I can't believe Mom has gotten this desperate! The matchmaking session was an utter failure, so why must she still insist on dragging me to the woman's place? Wouldn't I just be embarrassing myself again?<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Rags to Riches<br /> <br /> In any relationship, the party taking the initiative was often seen as lowlier and more desperate.<br /> <br /> Therefore, upon seeing Emmanuel and his family at her house, Milani Zimmerman wore an even haughtier expression than when she was at the café.<br /> <br /> Ha! I knew he wouldn't be able to get over my looks, so he's come to badger me again!<br /> <br /> Milani's mother, Melody Claus, was just as smug when she learned of the Lowe family's intention.<br /> <br /> “If your son wishes to marry my daughter, you'll have to give us a betrothal gift of five hundred thousand,” she said as she raised her palm. “We won't accept anything less!”<br /> <br /> Emmanuel's heart instantly sank.<br /> <br /> Oh, my goodness! Five hundred thousand? Is she trying to sell her daughter?<br /> <br /> Alessandra, however, gritted her teeth and nodded. “T-That's fine!”<br /> <br /> As long as my son can get married, I'll do anything to make up for the betrothal gift, even if it means selling the house!<br /> <br /> “Your family must also provide a car and matrimonial home!” Milani's father chimed in. “More importantly, you're not going to let my daughter pay for any installments or maintenance fees!”<br /> <br /> By then, Emmanuel was on the verge of losing his patience.<br /> <br /> Shouldn't marriages be consensual? I don't expect both parties to be forking out the wedding expenses equally, but why does it feel like my family's here to surrender and be fleeced?<br /> <br /> Alessandra, too, found herself in a tight spot.<br /> <br /> She could sell the house to afford the betrothal gift, but how would she pay for the couple's car and home?<br /> <br /> “Sure. That's no problem!” Roselynn piped up, even going so far as to pull her brother back when she realized he wanted to object.<br /> <br /> She was just as eager for Emmanuel to start a family, and at thirty years old, she had worked and saved up enough to make the necessary down payments for him.<br /> <br /> Since Mom is settling the betrothal gift, I shall help Emmanuel with the car and home!<br /> <br /> “Lastly, he will bear all household expenses after the wedding!” Milani suddenly said.<br /> <br /> That, however, was the last straw for Emmanuel. “I don't mind paying this much if she's coming to work for us as a housekeeper, but if she expects to be treated like a princess or queen, you can forget it! I don't need that!”<br /> <br /> “Look at your son! What's with that attitude?” Milani yelled. “We aren't even married yet, and he's already so domineering. Wouldn't it be worse down the road?”<br /> <br /> “No, no, no... The marriage will work out. It'd work out just fine!” Alessandra pleaded, desperate to finalize the wedding.<br /> <br /> I can't wait any longer... I must fulfill my husband's last wish by the end of the year!<br /> <br /> Having seen how things were going, even Roselynn knew she had to step in to persuade her mother. “Mom! Stop forcing it!”<br /> <br /> Manny's right. There's nothing wrong with giving a betrothal gift, car, and house. However, asking him to be the sole supporter of his family after the wedding is too much! What about his wife, then? Why can't she chip in? Will she be sending her own money back to her parents?<br /> <br /> Just then, Milani's younger brother, Jacob Zimmerman, suddenly appeared with a cocky grin plastered on his face. “Haha! Don't forget about me, Milani! When it's my turn to get married, I'd be counting on you guys to buy me my car and house too!”<br /> <br /> Upon hearing that, Emmanuel instantly exploded with rage.<br /> <br /> “What? Am I marrying your sister or your entire family? I may as well support all of you!”<br /> <br /> Even though Emmanuel had only meant that as an angry remark, Milani decided to hold him to his word. “Hah! You'd better remember what you just said! In that case, I'll leave you to plan and pay for the wedding banquet and honeymoon. Don't tell me you can't afford that...”<br /> <br /> “Get lost! I'd rather marry anybody than you!” Emmanuel retorted as the rage and ferocity he used to experience on the battlefield came flooding back.<br /> <br /> He didn't know what the Zimmermans were playing at, but there was no doubt they were monsters.<br /> <br /> “Look at yourself! How dare you ask me for my hand in marriage! I'd rather marry anybody than you too!” Milani snapped back.<br /> <br /> Given my qualities, I have no problem marrying a rich man, so why should I settle for a man like Emmanuel? I'm only too happy that he wants to fall out with me!<br /> <br /> After giving an exasperated laugh, Emmanuel stood up and stormed off, leaving Alessandra and Roselynn with no choice but to follow suit.<br /> <br /> To their surprise, they had only just stepped out of the Zimmerman residence when three luxury cars pulled up in front of them.<br /> <br /> The Zimmermans quickly popped out to see the commotion and almost dropped their jaws when they saw the car lineup.<br /> <br /> Oh! Those cars are worth tens of millions! What's going on? Since when were the Lowes that fancy?<br /> <br /> Emmanuel, on the other contrary, seemed to recognize one of the cars. Hmm... Didn't I see that car outside the café?<br /> <br /> The next second, Terence stepped out of the car, surrounded by his convoy of suited bodyguards.<br /> <br /> He smiled as he approached Emmanuel and said politely, “I'm here to return the favor, Mr. Lowe, after you helped me outside the café!”<br /> <br /> Needless to say, everyone was stunned.<br /> <br /> Roselynn couldn't hide her excitement and gripped her brother's arm tightly.<br /> <br /> Ah! Isn't this like those rags-to-riches stories?<br /> <br /> The more Emmanuel thought about it, the more he frowned. Wow... Who knew this old man was a millionaire? Could he have intentionally fallen at the café?<br /> <br /> Terence waved his hand, and within seconds, his subordinates had unloaded several boxes of gifts.<br /> <br /> Not only were there precious stones and jewelry, but there were also famous paintings, antiques, and even a Porsche key.<br /> <br /> The total value of the items had to be at least ten million.<br /> <br /> For someone who earned a mere eighty thousand a year, ten million was an eye-watering amount of money that Emmanuel could only dream of!<br /> <br /> Upon witnessing the scene, the Zimmerman family almost collapsed in shock.<br /> <br /> Milani might be a well-dressed woman, but the truth was, her family was just like any other average family. To them, ten million was undoubtedly an astronomical sum!<br /> <br /> If I had known Emmanuel would become a multi-millionaire, I'd have married him straightaway!<br /> <br /> After snapping out of her daze, she smiled and hastily clutched Emmanuel's arm.<br /> <br /> “What's the matter, darling? Oh, wow... You're so kind to help the elderly! I love that about you!”<br /> <br /> “Who's your darling?” Emmanuel asked, embarrassing Milani so much that she wanted to crawl into a hole.<br /> <br /> As though that wasn't enough, he brusquely pushed her away and added, “Didn't you just reject me? Why are you still calling me that?”<br /> <br /> “Uh... I—” Milani muttered, clearly at a loss for words.<br /> <br /> Her family, too, was incredibly frustrated.<br /> <br /> After all, they had just missed out on getting a wealthy son-in-law!<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Alessandra was about to say something when Roselynn tugged at her.<br /> <br /> As much as I want Manny to start a family, I can't let him settle for the horrible Zimmermans! Besides, he's rich now! I'm sure he can find a better woman!<br /> <br /> “Mom, Roselynn, let's go!” Emmanuel said before ushering both women into the car.<br /> <br /> He didn't want to accept the gifts, especially since he knew he hadn't done anything to deserve them. However, it wasn't the time and place to discuss the matter, so he decided to leave instead.<br /> <br /> Once the Lowe family had left, a gust of cold wind swept over the Zimmermans as they seethed silently.<br /> <br /> “How could you have made such remarks earlier, Milani? Do you think it's easy to find a millionaire these days?” Melody berated.<br /> <br /> “W-What should I do now, then?”<br /> <br /> In all honesty, Milani was at a complete loss. She had gone on several blind dates to find a rich husband who could give her a life of luxury.<br /> <br /> Alas, who knew she'd let a multi-millionaire slip right through her fingers?<br /> <br /> “What else can we do? They've already come to our place to ask for your hand in marriage. Can't we do the same?” Melody suggested.<br /> <br /> Jacob, who was just as anxious, instantly exclaimed, “I don't care, Milani! You have to marry that multi-millionaire! When my girlfriend and I get married, you must give us a house and a luxury car! Otherwise, I'll disown you!”<br /> <br /> “Okay, okay. I got it!” Milani replied with a long sigh.<br /> <br /> Argh! Emmanuel and I left on such bad terms... Would he still care about me?<br /> <br /> 👉To continue reading the story for free, download the app and search📚"Love at the Wrong Table".

My dad is really mad at you and Raven being mates." Twin sister Reagan said to my mate.<br /> "I don't mind rejecting her, but I would have been embarrassed to face my mate" Justin said.<br /> "My father has decided to appoint me as his future Alpha not my sister Raven. So, I will be your luna." Reagan said to Justin.<br /> ******** <br /> I silently run through the woods letting my wolf Emerald out tonight. She has been anxious all day, well really the last few days, and I could tell that she needed to come out for a run. <br /> Alpha Cole Walker is the Alpha of the Blood Walker pack. He is said to be one of the most dangerous Alphas in the United States. It is said that he would hurt anyone who dared to enter his pack uninvited. Due to this fact, most of our pack members studiously avoid this area altogether.<br /> My twin sister, Reagan, is the golden child of the pack. They all love her unconditionally. She is cherished and appreciated, no matter what she does. They all seem to ignore the fact that she is a horrible and mean she-wolf. I was born first, and with that should come the respect that after I find my mate, I will officially be the Luna here, and he will take over as the Alpha of the pack. Yet they all treat her as the next Luna. <br /> My sister and I are the only children that our parents had. The Goddess never blessed them with another child, even though they tried for years. My father, Alpha Graham Sullivan, is very strict with me. I am not allowed to leave my room other than to eat my meals and then return back to my room again. I am also not allowed to leave our pack for any reason. I have never even crossed the border of the Sliver Blade pack in my life. <br /> I was the Alpha's daughter, but I was not a valued member of this pack. Telling on me has always resulted in a bonus for whoever told on me to my father. I have had to learn how to overcome this on my own. It has made me very independent over the years, as well as a very good climber. I use the tree outside my window at the pack house, to climb up and down to get in and out of my room.<br /> From my vantage point, I can see who is coming now and rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw my brain. It was Reagan, and she was pulling the arm of a pretty large guy, as she headed toward the grassy bank near my tree. I realized right this moment that I have picked a terrible place to hide. I should have doubled back and then climbed in my window to my room and I would have been safe and sound in my room. Reagan is clearly out with one of her many men, as she was allowed to stay out and do whatever she wanted to. I mean how else could she beat me to finding her mate if she didn't flirt with all the unmated men in our pack? I rolled my eyes again and then froze when I looked at them again and got a good look at his face.<br /> That smell coming off of him was starting to drive me wild, he smelled like freshly baked cinnamon buns, and I was now pissed off. She had come here with the guy that I had a crush on, someone with whom she had never shown any interest in before. It was our Beta's son and the guy that I have had a crush on for the last year and a half.<br /> "No, don't stop them, Raven, she has already been dating with him for the last few months. This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week. They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it. I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out" Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.<br /> "How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate? Why can't I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don't want to lose him, Emerald. He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can't he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way? Please Emerald" I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers.<br /> I am frustrated. I don't want to give up on my true mate. He doesn't even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don't want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don't know if I can survive this level of betrayal.<br /> "I can't wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years. I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. " My sister says to my mate.<br /> "Besides, I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me. I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate. I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break." She adds.<br /> "I think we will be so happy together. Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out. I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement. I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me. I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time" I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn't hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.<br /> It wasn't loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough. I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn't heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.<br /> "I have always thought that you were a she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together. If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don't think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate. Per our agreement, I don't mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal. I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate" Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.<br /> These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He "chose" her, so he can keep her. She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to ensure that they become the next Alpha and Luna. She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day. I had already decided to get out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. <br /> "She is your mate? Are you serious? Oh, this is the best" Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. "Justin, why haven't you mentioned this to me before?" Reagan continued.<br /> "I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate's scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them. I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn't even know it yet. I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan? Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?" Justin asked Reagan. I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be.<br /> "Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me. I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great. I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate.<br /> We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will hurt her every day to see us together. It is my pack any way, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn't have a wolf, she won't be able to scent you, and your rejection might even hurt her when you do it. That would be the best-case scenario for all of us" Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was. Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, "She doesn't deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you. Hopefully, you will come to love me too.<br /> I was just worried, I don't want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated." Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes. I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.<br /> "Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this. He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it. She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack. She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple. We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish" Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me? My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack. I didn't even know that they weren't true mates. What else don't I know about them?<br /> "We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you. Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us. Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack's full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents" Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me. Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them touching again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don't they need to get back to the pack house?<br /> I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now. Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.<br /> "Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK? That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad" I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me. She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here. I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don't know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that. I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade.<br /> "Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me? Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway. I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you" Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mind linking. <br /> I and my wolf were running away from this pack. But they caught us immediately.<br /> "If you come back here now Raven, I won't punish you for leaving your room without permission" I heard my father tell me. <br /> "Nothing in the world could possess me to do that father," I told him, and I see his eyes glazing over as he goes to link someone. I could care less what they have to say to me, and I turned to walk away. <br /> "You will get punishment in the Blood Walker pack. You know how dangerous they are Raven, you have heard this fact for your whole life. They cannot be trusted, and you are now a rogue. We have told you, and the whole pack, exactly what happens to those who trespass on their land. The moment they scent you they will move in, and you will die today. Is that what you want? Do you want to die? I will get you more freedom in the pack. I will allow you to go to the library every day instead of once a week. How does that sound?" my mother's voice is calming and comforting. She has never before sounded as nice as this, and I know that dad put her up to try to lure me back into the Siler Blade pack. They must be desperate to do it, so I want to see how far they intended to go with it.<br /> "Let me ask you this mother. Was the plan to get Justin to take Reagan as a chosen mate her idea, or dad's?" I asked her. Mom is not a very good liar. I can see her expression as we are only about 20 feet apart from each other right now. <br /> "I don't know what you are talking about Raven, they are mates," my mom said to me, and now I smirk at her. Clearly, mom was keeping me out of the loop and doesn't know that I know for a fact that they aren't.<br /> "Thanks for always lying to me mom. That makes it so much easier on me. I will not be coming back to the Silver Blade pack. This is the last time, Goddess willing, that you all will probably see me and actually I am welcoming the death that is coming to me. It will be better than the life I have lived since Reagan tried to hurt me, and my own dad called me a liar when I told him what actually happened. Justin is not her mate mom, and I know this because he is MY mate. It is disgusting what all you three have done to me and allowed to be done to me my whole life. I never deserved to be treated the way I was. I can only hope that I can find my way and get to live a life that allows me to find someone who loves me and realizes that I am a good person. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you mom? It seems like you and dad are willing to do anything to get me to come back over the fence, but we both know that if I did come back, I would either immediately be thrown in the cells. So, I will take my chances over here, where at least I have a chance" I told them and turned again to leave. I only made it a few steps before I was stopped again by my father's hateful words.<br /> "You are ungrateful daughter, How do you have the nerve to say that to me? I have clothed and fed you, provided you a room, and let you go to school. I did take care of you, and it is disgusting to see how you repay me. Lying about Justin being your mate. Trying to take your sister's mate away from her. I know that I can speak for your mother as well as myself when I say that we hope the Blood Walker pack disposes of you quickly. I only wish I could punish you myself" my dad roared out, and the hate was coming off of him in waves.<br /> "You disgust me father," I told him and the tone I used to draw out the word father let him know just how little I thought of him being my father. "I have never done anything to cause a problem or disruption in the pack, or in the family. I did what I was told this whole time. Even as knowing that you let the whole pack know that I was fair game if they wanted to hurt me, and they did dad, over and over again. You know what, it was my family that really took the award for the most torment. Your unwarranted hate, mom never supporting me, and my sister allowed to try to hurt me, and incite others up against me made me realize that life will be much better on this side of the border than it was on that side. Even if I only live an hour more, it would be better than the years I spent over there."<br /> I wiped off my tears and walked past them, suddenly, I hear something coming to me…<br /> <br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna continue this incredible story?
