A beautiful new transfer student came to our class,
Threatening to sleep with my childhood sweetheart within three months.
Xander Sterling said with a cold face she was delusional, turned and held my hand tightly acting spoiled:
“Since childhood, who doesn’t know I am yours.”
“Said before give me title after graduation, really can’t advance?”
Transfer student vigorously chased until winter break, Xander didn’t give her a good face.
Until a gathering before school started,
Xander got drunk, I took him home.
He mumbled my name all the way.
My heart moved, prepared to secretly kiss him.
This counts as my first kiss.
Just touched his lips, he buckled my waist, voice hoarse:
“Baby, so reserved this time?”
“Not French Kiss anymore?”
I froze in place.

After the breakup, my ex still wouldn’t give up:
[Let’s meet offline.]
[We must meet once before Winter Break, before Christmas.]
[I know you have time.]
Nursing a drunk head, I subconsciously replied: [Sorry, I don’t reheat old pizza.]
At the same time, a sentence popped up in the dialog box.
[Your thesis requires more than just online comments to fix.]
Holy cow!
I scrambled to retract the message.
The dialog box showed “Typing…”
Pierce Sterling’s message jumped into my eyes again:
[Serena Ji, did you forget that I am still your thesis advisor?]
I went completely numb.
Chapter 1
At the class reunion today, I drank a bit too much.
When I received Pierce’s message, I really thought he was begging me to get back together.
So much so that I forgot that the youngest Economics Professor at Harvard, my graduation thesis advisor, is actually my ex-boyfriend.
My roommate Hannah leaned her head over and saw the lit-up phone screen.
“Tsk, does Professor Sterling always speak so gently?”
“Reading the first three sentences, I thought he was going to confess his love to you.”
“But that last sentence… hey hey, that’s a death plot twist.”
Back then, Pierce and I were in a long-distance relationship, so no one had seen what my boyfriend looked like.
I asked Hannah: “How do you guys usually reply to an advisor’s text?”
Hannah mimicked a serious tone: “Okay, Professor, please set a time.”
Fine.
I followed Hannah’s tone and replied to the message.
Just as I was about to lift my wine glass to continue drinking, Hannah pressed my hand down.
“I haven’t finished yet. Is the reason you rejected Leo really because you can’t forget your ex?”
Leo is a first-year grad student senior at our school. Excellent grades, talented, and good-looking, but I gave him the “nice guy card” and rejected him.
The female classmates were all very surprised.
“Was your long-distance ex really that good?”
I smiled, “Really too good. Old money family, top scholar, basically the standard male lead in a novel.”
Someone spoke too fast:
“Then why did you break up?”
I downed a mouthful of wine, “He died.”
My phone vibrated.
The screen displayed Pierce’s message.
[Come over anytime, I’m always here.]
Damn it, how did the corpse revive?
Chapter 2
Pierce and I were childhood sweethearts.
He is three years older than me. Since he was small, he was the most shining existenceโwinning Math Olympiad awards, skipping grades, studying abroad, everything was smooth sailing.
The only obstacle in his life was probably me.
I knew since I was small that Pierce and I had an engagement.
Just as I became an adult, we naturally got together.
Although it was long-distance, our feelings were very good.
Until my junior year, when I was discovered to be the fake heiress.
The true heiress was soon taken back home.
I fell into the mud overnight.
My biological father is a gambling addict. When my mother resisted his domestic violence, she was beaten by him into a vegetative state.
He came out of prison and found my foster parents.
He made a scene, saying that because they took the wrong child, they let me and himโflesh and bloodโbe separated for so many years.
My foster parents gave him a sum of money and also pushed me out.
The gambling addict took the money and went to the casino even more often, owing even more debt.
Debt collectors would come to school to block me, forcing me to repay the money for him.
My foster parents no longer cared about me, not even answering the phone.
At that time, the only person standing by my side was Pierce.
He paid my tuition, found a lawyer to handle my biological father’s lawsuit, and helped me mediate between my foster parents.
Gifts drifted across the sea, and punctual “love takeout” meals were delivered to my dorm, just to let me live a little better.
When he returned to the country for the holidays, I hugged him and cried, asking him why he treated me so well.
But he just kissed me: “Silly melon, if I don’t treat you well, who else would I treat well?”
“In another two years, when you graduate from university, we’ll get married.”
I was naive back then.
I always thought love could withstand ten thousand difficulties.
Until Pierce’s mother found me and told me the two families’ engagement wouldn’t change.
Except, the bride was changed to the true heiress, Giselle Ji.
She said: “Serena, I watched you grow up. You are smart and pretty.”
“In the past, I wouldn’t have been willing to break you guys up.”
“But in our circle, marriage is an alliance of interests.”
“Pierce wants to return to the country soon to take over the company. I can’t let people know he has you as a weakness, a handle for others to pinch.”
“Although you are not a Ji family person, the Ji family raised you for so many years. You should always do something for them.”
“So, Serena, think it over carefully.”
I called Pierce on a cross-ocean phone call.
“Pierce, let’s break up?”
It was a question, not a statement.
I thought, even if I wanted to break up, I should get his consent.
In this unequal relationship, he paid more for me.
It was me always dragging him down.
I was very tired.
I don’t know, in his days in a foreign land, did he also feel tired in the silent late nights?
Pierce’s anger, which he couldn’t cover, came from the other end of the phone.
“Break up? Don’t even think about it.”
Chapter 3
The next night, while I was packing my luggage in the apartment, Pierce came back.
Having sat on a plane for over ten hours, his face looked terrible.
“What did my mom say to you?”
Tears blurred my eyes, and my voice was trembling.
He looked me in the face.
“Don’t care what she said. Wait for me to graduate and return, and we will get married.”
I was stunned and opened my mouth:
“The engagement is between the Sterling and Ji families. I am no longer…”
“I don’t care.”
Pierce interrupted me, his voice choking.
“You are just you. I like you, I care about you, and I won’t abandon you. Do you understand?”
I didn’t dare to speak.
“Serena,” he cupped my face, “Do you still love me?”
I nodded.
“That’s good.” He sighed in relief, “As long as you still love me, we won’t separate, okay?”
His kiss fell on the center of my brow.
I choked out: “Okay.”
Can love withstand ten thousand difficulties?
No, it can’t.
If it could, the world wouldn’t have suffering.
After that day, Pierce stayed in the country and accompanied me for a period of time.
We lived together in an apartment near the school.
We were like many ordinary couples, snuggled in a not-too-big, not-too-small nest.
If there were no accidents, this kind of sweetness would have lasted a very long time.
But an accident soon happened.
My gambling addict father blocked me at the apartment door again, demanding money.
To protect me, Pierce was stabbed by him.
When he was lying in the hospital, Pierce’s mother and my foster parents all arrived.
My foster mother’s slap hit my face heavily, and my ears buzzed.
The eyes they looked at me with were contemptuous and disdainful.
They also said many ugly words, so ugly that I don’t want to recall them a bit.
Just like the past twenty years, the love they poured on me disappeared in that instant.
I couldn’t stand it.
If I were the only one bearing this, maybe it wouldn’t be so painful.
But, I was tightly bound by self-blame, guilt, and helplessness.
Based on what right did I implicate Pierce lying in the hospital?
Just because he loves me?
Should the person who loves me be dragged into the mud by me to bear pain?
I was tired, really very tired.
So, when Pierce was sent to Philadelphia to continue treatment, I called him and broke up.
This time, he had no way to sit on a plane for more than ten hours to rush over.
My tears kept falling, crying until I couldn’t speak words.
Pierce nearly begged me: “Can you wait for me another year? Just one year, wait for me to graduate and return.”
“Can you wait for me again?”
Wait another year, what would change?
I wiped my tears.
“Pierce.”
“I’m tired.”
He was silent for a very long time.
Finally, he opened his mouth, his voice hoarse: “Based on what right do you get to give up first?”
“What qualification do you have to give up on me first?”
Even though we were finally speechless, neither of us could bear to hang up the phone.
Until the phone battery ran out.
Chapter 4
I drank the wine too fast, and I really couldn’t handle it.
Thinking about meeting Pierce, ten thousand emotions surged in my heart.
I squatted by the side of the main road, crying continuously.
Hannah passed me a tissue.
“Sigh, if I knew earlier your ex died, I shouldn’t have mentioned this tonight.”
My stomach was churning like overturning seas and rivers; I turned my head and vomited.
Hannah patted my back, “I’ll go to the nearby pharmacy to buy some hangover medicine for you.”
Actually, just after we broke up, Pierce sent me many messages.
Gifts drifted across the sea, and holiday “love takeout” didn’t miss a single one.
Later I got annoyed and thought of a crude method.
I posted an AI-synthesized intimate photo to Instagram, officially announcing a new relationship.
He never sent me a message again.
Even after Pierce became my advisor, we always communicated via email.
I sent the thesis to him, he annotated it and sent it back to me.
He looked down on me a bit.
This was mainly embodied in the thesis comments he wrote to me:
[Where is the innovation point of your thesis? Is this thing from Wish.com? Pieced together.]
[Very niche sentence structure, makes zero sense.]
[Did I teach you your modeling? Don’t let people know you are my student, it’s quite shameful.]
[Rewrite everything according to comments.]
Every word was written with dissatisfaction toward me.
To meet him alone, I was scared in my heart.
Taking advantage of no one being around, I opened my Reddit alter ego account and posted a message:
[Help! Broke up with my ex-boyfriend, he should hate me quite a bit. But he is now my graduation thesis advisor, and I still have to take my broken thesis to meet him. What do I do? Online waiting, urgent.]
Netizens’ comments were various.
[See, the person who hates you will find a thousand ways and a hundred plans to become your advisor, then abuse you to death.]
[Is it sadistic deep love or a horror story? Only meeting him will tell. But I guess, high probability it’s a horror story.]
[As everyone knows, for undergraduate graduation theses, teachers choose students. He just intentionally chose you. Careful he doesn’t delay your graduation. My words are put here.]
[Wish you 99 (forever).]
Does Pierce just hate me that much?
Does he actually want to make me delay graduation by being my advisor?
That’s too vicious!
An Anonymous User with a black avatar comforted me:
[Don’t listen to their nonsense. He just feels your thesis is written rottenly. Normal work process.]
The thesis I wrote is rotten?
Those nights I turned over JSTOR and stayed up, the hair lost modeling, the ten thousand words I wroteโare they really so rotten?
I am, anyhow, a person who got a first-class scholarship.
[Sister, I suggest you act spoiled, act cute, be an academic gold digger. Let your ex-boyfriend fix your thesis well for you, fix it to death. Best if later he publishes in an academic journal, he brings your name as author.]
This idea actually wasn’t bad; at least it wouldn’t let me delay graduation.
But recalling Pierce, that living monk who sits still and doesn’t mess around…
Even if I stripped and stood in front of him, he could put my clothes back on piece by piece.
I was still staring at the phone screen in a daze when a car light shone on me.
The person in the driver’s seat opened the door, came down, and walked in front of me.
A black coat set off his skin color very white. He just looked at me faintly but didn’t open his mouth to speak.
Light shone on him.
He stood there, doing nothing, just very good-looking.
I stood up, took one step, and hugged his waist.
Then, with a fawning face, I looked up at him.
“Pierce, it’s you.”
“Quick, hug me.”
In my previous life, on the eve of marrying a wealthy heir.
Under my cousin’s instigation, I got carried away, demanding this and that from the groom’s family, even demanding the second child take my last name.
The groom’s family couldn’t stand it and called off the wedding.
Spurned by everyone, I could only go to my cousin to pour out my heart.
But accidentally heard my cousin say: “Deserve it! With her conditions, nothing compares to me, based on what can she marry a rich heir?”
“I didn’t do anything, I just lightly provoked a few sentences, she cooperated to seek death herself…”
Learning the truth, I was so angry I committed suicide.
Opening my eyes again, I was reborn to the day I was instigated by my cousin.
Chapter 1
“Sarah, you must listen to me, their family simply looks down on you!”
“If you don’t give them a show of strength now, you will suffer after marrying in!”
“Rest assured, we have so many relatives here to back you up, what are you afraid of?”
Cousin Heather’s voice rang in my ear.
But I broke out in cold sweat all over.
Didn’t I die?
How can I still hear her voice?
Could it be, I was reborn?
Chapter 2
I grew up poor.
Because my dad is a foolishly filial person.
He is the eldest in the family, back then my dad should have taken over grandpa’s job, but uncle cried two made noise three hung himself, my dad gave the job to him.
When young I didn’t feel anything.
Just envied cousin Heather had endless beautiful clothes since childhood, endless toys, piano to play.
And relatives obviously more enthusiastic to cousin than to me.
But when grew up, this difference became obvious.
Cousin didn’t study well, uncle and aunt sent her abroad to mix a degree.
Cousin just returned from studying abroad, their family bought her house and car in our county town.
Also pulled strings for her to be a music teacher in a private school in our county.
Honestly I was very envious of these in my heart.
Because I still live with my parents, living in an old walk-up apartment from decades ago.
As for having my own house and car, that is something I dare not even think about.
So in my heart, I felt although cousin was a bit arrogant, it was understandable, after all she had house, car, confidence, capital to be arrogant.
And me, only place stronger than her probably is passing the civil service exam, got a Government Job.
In other places might feel nothing, but in our small town, this is the iron rice bowl.
Put it this way, in elders’ eyes, even if you earn millions a year, it’s not as good as holding that few thousand dollars dead salary of government job.
After getting government job, because I work relatively serious and responsible, personality also good, I got lucky again.
Our unit head introduced his comrade’s child to meโโblind date Connor, a wealthy heir.
Of course definitely can’t compare with those New York listed company heirs.
But in our small county town also a person with face.
Connor’s dad and our unit head have iron relationship.
And his mom is principal of a key high school here, name is household known.
And Connor’s grandpa is in business, doing heating business in city, I don’t quite understand, but know enterprise very big very profitable.
As for his grandpa, opened a private dental clinic here, specialized in children teeth correction, is a dental clinic parents here relatively recognize.
And Connor himself condition also not bad, working as pediatrician in county hospital, personality gentle emotion stable.
Connor parents both single children, Connor is their only child, degree of spoiling no need me say more.
Can say, finding such a partner is blessing I got from eight lifetimes.
If not our unit head pulling strings, I might not even have chance to know this kind of person.
And after dating Connor, not only my living standard straight line rose, even unit colleagues attitude to me also became more gentle.
Because all know I found a wealthy heir, still unit boss pulled string, no one would be full to trouble me.
That time I really like fell into honey pot.
But previous life I didn’t cherish.
Maybe because family poor since small some inferior, suddenly got such good luck, bit not quite confident.
Plus that time I relatively worshipped cousin, felt she saw much knowledge wide, told her about dating, said my confusion.
And after listening me finish, cousin expression obviously stiffened a bit.
Then said: “Sarah, I feel marriage still matching door matching household good, your family condition so bad, won’t be looked down by their family right?”
“You think, when you gather together, his parents talk about politics, your parents talk about workshop gossip, can they have common language?”
“And rich people relatively hard to get along, definitely will various look down on you target you, you willing suffer this anger lifetime?”
I heard then heart thumped a bit.
Because I indeed have this worry.
After all two families gap really too big.
Then since then, not much contact cousin suddenly enthusiastic up, time to time send me message.
Today say you don’t put posture too low, go his house just sit don’t do anything, otherwise later married you have work to do!
Tomorrow say why partner New Year not accompany you? Such important holiday miss he just no heart.
Day after tomorrow say I feel their family look down on you? Otherwise why only give you money? Feel like smashing people with money? Isn’t this insulting people?
I also don’t know what happened, said by her psychology slowly changed, got carried away, started be awkward.
When talking marriage with Connor, demands changed again and again.
Today dislike wedding photos taken in Cleveland not high class enough, want go New York or Paris retake.
Tomorrow demand their family buy me a Porsche, must be Cayenne!
Finally, eve of engagement, I think my brain that time should really flooded by sea, actually demanded later have a child take my last name!
This directly touched opponent parents’ bottom line.
My parents knew angry scolded me crazy, asked if my heart covered by lard? Nothing find trouble?
I now think yes, my family poor like this child take my last name for what?
Inherit my family that old broken small apartment?
However that time I like possessed.
Who persuade also not listen!
Feel you not agree is not love me, your family just look down on me, look down on our family!
Now like this then later what?
I started put high posture, cold violence Connor, not answer phone not reply text not meet.
Later, groom family patience ran out.
Wedding directly cancelled.
Chapter 3
Small county town just this big, wedding cancel reason at once spread whole county.
I became county celebrity, of course, is bad name spread far that kind.
My situation in unit also sky flip earth over.
Not only colleagues discuss me, originally gentle to me unit head also cold to me, even publicly said I not know lift.
People below of course also see wind steer rudder, start various make difficult for me, career no need think.
More terrible is since then no one introduce partner to me, all say my eyes high, love seek death, say my family sell daughter.
Including my parents, also everyday at home various scold me seek death.
My dad even angry by me directly brain stroke hospitalized.
I that time depressed extreme, anxious every night can’t sleep.
Went find cousin want chat with her, feel only she can understand me, can enlighten me.
But didn’t think arrived her home I heard outside door she calling someone.
“Hehe, that idiot, really thought self can fly on branch become phoenix? Actually I didn’t do anything, just provoked few sentences she got carried away, felt other party must marry her.”
“She also not think, just her looks, just her broken family condition, if not government job bonus, people can fancy her?”
“Besides based on what? I look prettier than her, family condition better than her, based on what good partner I can’t find let her find?”
“She now became rat crossing street everyone shout beat! Deserve! Who let her no princess life, but got princess sickness, heart higher than sky fate thinner than paper, seeing her like this I too happy! Tonight must good celebrate!”
I outside listening like being five thunders bang top.
Turns out, from beginning cousin so-called good to me is a trap!
Turns out, from beginning she saved thought to ruin my marriage.
I angry a foot kicked open door wanted argue with her.
But was more cold mockery hot satire by her.
Nothing more than what myself no opinion, climb high branch fail blame others these words.
Angry me can’t think open directly jumped river suicide.
Chapter 4
I didn’t expect I actually would rebirth.
I deep breath, forced myself calm down.
And at this time cousin Heather spitting flying brainwashing me.
“Their family condition so good, buy you a Mercedes what wrong? This is respect to you.”
“C-Class no good, grade too low, at least must be G-Wagon right?”
“And can’t loan, must full payment!”
Correct, previous life I just now listened cousin words, noisy find Connor buy me Mercedes.
Originally his parents impression on me not bad, just from here is a turning point.
Although their family finally bought me a Mercedes, but his parents attitude to me became alienated.
No longer Sarah, Sarah call, but became full name.
Use his mom words say is we can give, you can’t ask, you active ask this nature different.
Thinking here, I lowered eyes, said: “This demand not good right?”
Cousin a look hate iron not become steel said: “Baby, you have to be confident to yourself know?”
“You are government employee! Do you know government employee how valuable? I tell you, your position at least worth $500,000! Ask his family a car what wrong?”
“Whose family marry wife no spend money? Besides his family not no this condition, you say if man family no this condition I also not say what, this not have ma? Then buy or not is attitude problem!”
“You must persist can’t compromise, now compromise later have you suffer!”
I heart cold sneer.
Previous life I under her flattery really felt self very valuable.
Government employee ne!
How awesome? How rare?
But didn’t think I ignored a thing, that is government employees everywhere, rich heirs not many!
Especially small county town, male more female less.
Because boys usually struggle in big cities.
Girls usually think close home test system.
So gender ratio serious imbalance.
Plus female government employees choose usually male government employees or family business rich heirs.
However male government employees have considerable part diverted by female teachers.
So female government employees selectable room really not much.
After all a county town can have how many rich heirs?
Like Connor family this kind condition extreme superior, self also strive, really one hand can count.
So Connor find partner want find government employee, that really can casually pick!
I count as what?
If not touched light of unit head and his dad are comrades, I think don’t think!
But pity, that time me not think so.
I really agitated by cousin.
Felt self look good excellent work good, really too cheap their family!
My that self-esteem about native family poor came up again.
Started crazy seek death road.
Can only say my family ancestral grave originally want smoke blue smoke, but didn’t think extinguished by me a basin water.
See me no reaction, cousin somewhat unhappy, pushed my arm again: “Sarah, why you not speak? My words you listened in? If you not fight, their family later definitely bully you!”
“I also for your good! You must not confuse!”
I lifted eyes look her, that face seemingly concern actually calculation, let my stomach a burst churn.
Previous life, just because her instigation, my life all ruined.
Thinking here, I heart cold sneer once.
This time, I won’t let her control my life again.
I gently pushed away her hand, tone calm let her stunned: “Cousin, my marriage I self will handle, not trouble you worry.”
Cousin obviously didn’t expect I would say so, she stunned a bit, immediately frown: “Sarah, what happen to you? I am for your good!”
“Only we are own family, otherwise others won’t say these words to you, who also don’t want offend people right?”
She looking me, face full hate iron not become steel expression.
I faintly smile: “Is it? Then I really too thank you. But I think, me and their family matter, still we self talk better.”
“After all human heart separate belly, who knows some people heart think what?”
“Maybe is jealous me so intentional instigate, ah, Cousin you wouldn’t be also jealous I found such good partner right?”
I directly asked out, then carefully observe her expression.

I am a Transmigrator, my mission is to marry Julian Hale.
But the Hale Family Trust has a clause: only by giving birth to a son can one marry into the Hale family.
In six years, I was pregnant nine times, every time a girl.
So every child stayed in my belly for less than six months, before I was dragged to terminate.
When I was pregnant with the tenth child, a nurse whispered congratulations to me, saying it was a boy.
I excitedly went to find Julian to tell him the good news, but overheard his conversation with the doctor.
“You want to lie to Miss Elena again that it’s a girl, and make her abort it?”
“But Elena has already aborted nine times, now her uterus is as thin as a piece of paper. Another abortion, not only will she be infertile for life, but she might also die from massive hemorrhage!”
Julian’s voice was ice cold:
“Rest assured, she has a Fertility System, even pregnant a hundred times she will be fine.”
“But Giselle only has this one chance to take charge of the family. I won’t allow anyone to threaten her position. When Giselle becomes the Head of the Family Trust, I will compensate Elena.”
I then realized, it turns out my nine dead children, were all boys.
Julian didn’t know, although I have a Fertility System, the system only gave me ten chances to get pregnant.
If this time I still can’t give birth to a son and marry him, I will be Erased.
So when the System asked me how I wanted to die, I told it:
“Let me die on the operating table where my child is aborted.”
I want Julian to regret for a lifetime.
…
Chapter 1
Even though Dr. Carter and Julian are friends for years, at this moment he also began to fight injustice for me.
“But don’t you think this is unfair to Elena? With my understanding of Elena, if you say you want to wait for your sister-in-law to take charge before having children and marrying, she will definitely agree!”
“I know.” Julian’s voice was a bit muffled, “But I can’t gamble.”
“You should know how much power the Head of the Family Trust has in the Hale family. Elena for being with me, even abandoned her biological parents. How can I believe she won’t secretly give birth to my child for the position of Family Head.”
Hearing this, my heart went cold.
I am a Transmigrator. As long as I can marry Julian, the seriously ill me in the original world can be cured.
But I didn’t expect I would fall in love with Julian. On the first day with him, I confessed everything.
I told him, even if the mission is completed, I won’t leave him.
Result my confession in his eyes became ulterior motives, and also became the sharp blade that killed my nine children.
Dr. Carter was even more puzzled, “Even if you think her having a child will threaten your sister-in-law taking charge, you can’t let her get pregnant one after another like this. Clearly gender can be checked at three or four months, why do you always drag it to six months?”
“A six-month-old child is already formed, can’t abort only induce labor, some even cry when born… Even if she has a Fertility System, the damage to the body is irreversible. How can you have the heart!”
Because of his words, my nose soured, tearing pain seemed to still linger below, and the child’s cry rang in my ears.
My heart felt like being fiercely pinched by someone, the whole person in agony.
Julian wasn’t any better than me, “Every time seeing those children, I am also in pain.”
“But there is no way, I must drag to such a big month. Jerry (Giselle’s son) has heart problem, a doctor said, as long as use six-month-old fetus heart for medicine…”
Dr. Carter instantly raged, “What do you mean? Those children, you didn’t dissect their hearts, then give to your nephew as medicine right? Julian are you still human!”
And I after hearing these words, uncontrollably legs went soft, body leaned forward hit the door, making a huge noise.
At this time, two people inside simultaneously went silent.
Before Julian found me, I almost rolled and crawled back to the ward.
Lying on bed, my whole body couldn’t stop trembling, tears uncontrollably flowed down.
No wonder Julian often persuaded me not to think about those induced fetuses. He said as long as not full term, they don’t count as our children.
I thought he was comforting me.
Turns out in his eyes, these children don’t even count as life, just medicine for his sister-in-law’s son.
When Julian came back, I already wiped dry tears.
He tightly hugged me, voice heavy, “Elena, this time in your belly is a girl again, abort it, I already let doctor prepare.”
“Julian.” I looked up at him, tried hard to make my voice sound normal, “I want to give birth to this child.”
Julian turned pale with fright, “Are you crazy, only giving birth to a son can you marry me.”
Hale family genes are special. If it’s a boy in belly, born with super high IQ, appearance off the charts.
If it’s a girl, born can’t live past three days.
Because there were too many examples, so Hale family had an unwritten family rule.
Anyone wants to marry into Hale family, must first give birth to a healthy boy.
Also for this reason, women marrying into Hale family have high status.
Not only can get large shares, even the Family Head, is also selected from women.
My silence made Julian detect a trace of abnormality, “Elena, do you know something?”
A voice in my heart told me, must hide it, so my child still has a glimmer of life.
So I told him: “Nothing, I just feel a bit reluctant.”
My appearance was too pitiful, Julian embraced me into arms, “Don’t be sad Elena, we are still young, I promise you, next one definitely is a boy.”
He didn’t know, there is no next one.
If this time still can’t marry him, my body in this world will be erased.
I can die, but the child is innocent, I must let him live.
So when nurse came to pick me up for surgery, I excused to go to restroom.
Arrived restroom, I took out jewelry on body, exchanged a set of clothes and some cash with a lady inside.
I prepared to run.
System advised me think again, “Actually Julian still loves you. If you talk well with him, maybe he will let you give birth to this child and marry you.”
If I didn’t hear Julian’s those words, maybe I would fight for it one more time.
But so many years, as long as related to his sister-in-law, I never won.
When just together with Julian, I found he was extra attentive to his sister-in-law Giselle.
As long as go out with me, whatever I fancied, he would buy two portions, one for me, the other for Giselle.
Even Valentine’s Day, he would prepare an extra gift and flowers, personally send to Giselle.
I made a big scene because of jealousy.
Julian helplessly told me, “Elena, don’t think too much, I love is you. For sister-in-law, I just want to atone.”
I then knew, Julian’s big brother died long ago.
Reason for death was that day Julian had a quarrel with his big brother. His big brother angry drank few more cups, result drunk driving car accident on way back.
So many years, Julian always thought he killed his own big brother, took the heavy responsibility of taking care of Giselle and her son onto his own shoulders.
Before I only felt Julian values emotion and righteousness.
Today I discovered, his guilt towards his sister-in-law already reached a perverted level.
Don’t say for sister-in-law let me pregnant nine children to cure her son, even if digging my heart, afraid he can do it.
I knew Julian would definitely find me, but didn’t expect so fast.
I haven’t even left hospital, just hailed a taxi, was grabbed by wrist by him.
I looked back, Julian spoke.
“Elena, where are you going?”
Not wait me speak, he already reacted, face instantly white.
“Just now person outside door was you, you heard it!”
I thought Julian knowing I heard everything would at least feel guilty.
But after he dragged me all way back to ward, actually didn’t even pretend anymore.
“Elena, since you already know all truth, then you should also understand my difficulties. Sister-in-law is going to take charge tomorrow. After receiving the seal, she still has a one-year probation period, so the child in your belly can’t stay.”
His gaze cruelly swept over my belly, “So later you go do abortion surgery, I will let doctor give you more anesthesia, you won’t feel pain.”
I bit lip, “I don’t want.”
“Elena, what do you want to do!” Julian somewhat angry, after touching my gaze, tone softened again.
He fiercely hugged me, “Elena, I know you angry at me, previously nine children aborted without discussing with you. But sister-in-law they really very pitiful, especially Jerry, his illness, only lack this last heart…”
“He pitiful, am I not pitiful?” I unbearable, directly broke free his embrace, “Julian, I don’t know if Jerry will die without this child, but I can tell you, if I don’t give birth to this child, I will die, you still let me do surgery?”
Julian dumbfounded, “What meaning?”
I thought of System’s words, prepared to gamble last time.
I directly knelt down to Julian, “Julian, I only have ten pregnancy chances. If this time still can’t give birth to child, I will be erased.”
“I know what you worry about, but rest assured, I absolutely won’t fight for any Family Head position with Giselle. If you afraid this child cause trouble, you just say to outside it’s a daughter. After born, we directly give away.”
“Jerry’s illness I can also cure. As long as I complete mission, System will give me reward, that time I can use all to treat Jerry.”
I cried miserably, fiercely kowtowed few times to Julian.
Finally, Julian eyes appeared a trace hesitation, his lips slightly moved:
“Since like this, then…”
Result he haven’t finished words, outside door came a familiar female voice.
“Julian, what are you guys doing?”
I looked up.
Giselle came.
Julian ran to her side, “Sister-in-law, why you and Jerry came hospital, is Jerry body have problem?”
Listening to such concerned tone, my heart cut like knife.
How could I think before his feeling to this pair mother son is responsibility.
Giselle told him no, she heard I here for checkup, so thought to come see.
Finished, she asked him what happened just now.
Seeing lying can’t cover, Julian pulled Giselle to outside door.
Not long, I heard Giselle a burst rage: “Nonsense! Julian, you crazy, if I knew medicine you gave Jerry is this, say what I impossible let him eat!”
“You now let doctor cancel surgery, I go apologize to Elena. I Giselle don’t need her abortion, also can sit on Family Head position.”
She finished scolding Julian, then came in apologize to me, said if knew earlier those medicines were made of my previous children’s hearts, she wouldn’t accept.
I looked at her eyes, heart bottom ignited last trace hope, “Sister Giselle, if you really have apology to me, can you help me marry Julian?”
Giselle sure enough nodded, “This is should be, I go back tell mother-in-law this matter.”
I instantly sighed a relief.
Just this breath haven’t released completely, she spoke again, “Elena, you know Julian always thought his big brother was killed by him right, are you curious, that day why they two quarreled?”
I was confused why she mentioned this matter at this time.
Giselle suddenly pointed at herself, “Because his big brother discovered Julian likes me.”
This sentence like gave me a stick on face.
Julian never said this matter, he said I am first person he liked.
But Giselle said she is Julian’s first love.
Giselle seemed very satisfied with my expression, continued: “These years he always said want marry me, take care us mother son. I really afraid he this life won’t marry others, lucky met you.”
“Even Jerry taking medicine matter also is, I just said a sentence there is a folk prescription from a doctor is eating six-month-old fetus heart, he then did this kind of bastard thing. But when he gave me those things, I all felt dirty, afraid have infectious disease, didn’t let Jerry eat, all fed to dog…”
Behind words I couldn’t listen in.
Maybe also no need listen, because I already understood her meaning outside words.
Folk prescription was intentional.
Is she designed everything behind.
Truth impacted my body and mind, I almost uncontrollably raised slap hit on her face.
“You actually fed my child’s heart to dog!”
One slap simply not relieve anger, I raised hand want give her another slap.
But my slap haven’t fallen, wrist was fiercely grabbed by someone.
Julian don’t know when rushed in, pushed me fiercely back, and blocked Giselle tight tight.
“Elena! You crazy what!”
Giselle persuaded aside, “Julian, you don’t be so fierce, is me mentioned your children, Elena hit me is should…”
“Children matter all I did, no relation with sister-in-law!” Julian raged, “You have what hate, what grievance, all come at me, don’t hurt sister-in-law!”
I was pushed directly to wall by Julian.
Back and lower abdomen came huge pain.
But these pain, all can’t compare that cut in my heart.
I couldn’t help open mouth, “Julian, you know, you know she gave our child’s heart to who eat? She simply didn’t…”
I haven’t finished words, interrupted by Jerry voice.
“Bad auntie! Not allowed say my mom bad words!”
He drilled out from behind Giselle, directly bumped on my leg, small fists randomly hammered me.
I already tottering, by this bump, feet unstable, subconsciously wanted push him away stabilize myself, hand didn’t control strength well.
Jerry fell on ground.
Just a second time, his face rapidly flushed purple, body also uncontrollably violent convulsion.
“Jerry!” Giselle screamed, pounced kneel to Jerry side, tried press him, “Jerry! Jerry what wrong with you? Doctor! Quick call doctor!”
Soon, Jerry taken away by few doctors, Julian and Giselle followed together leave.
Less than two hours, Julian went and returned.
I hurriedly stepped forward, ask him how is child.
Julian voice ice cold, “Situation already stabilized.”
I let out a breath.
If Jerry really because me accident, then I this life no way forgive myself.
Julian looked at my belly, “But, doctor said his recent condition not stable, best still…”
I suddenly understood, immediately covered my belly, “No, no, Julian, you can’t take our child’s heart give him again, all this is Giselle conspiracy, she simply didn’t give Jerry…”
“Enough.” Julian spoke, “If not you pushed like this, Jerry won’t have attack, this is you owe him!”
Finished, he snapped fingers.
Immediately few doctors nurses came in, pressed me onto surgery bed.
I constantly struggled, told him I can’t abort this child, not only child will die, I will also die.
Facing my bitter begging, Julian after all somewhat bear not.
He walked over held my hand, just when I thought he finally willing listen me say a say.
He told me: “Elena, you won’t die, wait next time, next time I absolutely won’t abort your child.”
No next time.
No next time ah.
I even too late shout out this sentence, doctor pressed gave me anesthesia.
Then I pushed to familiar surgery bed, those cold instruments opened my legs.
Along with warm liquid flow out, child crying sound rang.
I knew, I no longer have hope to live.
System carefully announced I mission failed, about to be erased.
But I still have some remaining points, want exchange or not, return original world say goodbye to family.
“No need.”
I closed eyes.
Mean while, I felt my body start bleeding.
Don’t know who shouted a sentence.
“Blood! Patient massive hemorrhage!”
Doctors nurses instant mess a ball.
They surrounded me, call my name, press my body.
Consciousness about to detach time, I said to System:
“Those points, please help me exchange some other things, I want send Julian a big gift.”
Chapter 2
After doctor friend Dr. Carter gave six-month-old fetus to Julian, he turned want go.
Dr. Carter pulled him, “Julian, you don’t want look Elena? After all this already her tenth…”
Julian however unhesitatingly threw off his hand, “Jerry side needs me more!”
Words said so, but on car back, Julian heart always very panic, as if something want happen.
Even he sent that warm heart to Hale old house, fingertips still unconsciously trembling.
Butler took sealed medical cooler box, low voice said Little Master used medicine already slept.
Julian nodded, turned want walk out.
Maybe Dr. Carter said right, he should go look me.
Result haven’t out door, Julian called by someone.
“Julian, I a bit nervous tomorrow ceremony, can you stay accompany me talk?”
Giselle appeared behind him, saying this request.
If past, Julian would unhesitatingly stay.
But since thought of my expression sent to surgery, he became somewhat hesitant.
Giselle like saw something, considerate said: “I forgot, Elena just did abortion surgery, should need you more, you better go hospital.”
“No need, I stay.” He heard himself say.
This night extra long.
Julian sat in living room sofa, Giselle chattering tomorrow ceremony details, he however a word didn’t listen in.
Front eyes shaking, always that pair despair eyes when I pushed into surgery room.
That time I seemed said something, he didn’t hear.
Said what?
Julian always ponder that sentence.
Sky almost bright, he then shallow sleep on sofa moment.
Chaotic dream, have baby weak crying sound, and large patchๆๅผ (spreading) blood.
And he finally remembered my mouth shape before pushed out surgery room is what sentence.
No next time ah!
Julian instant woke up.
This time sky not bright yet.
Julian picked up phone, saw Dr. Carter called many times last night he didn’t answer.
He walked to garden, heart annoyed chaotic want smoke cigarette, then return call.
Result saw Giselle squatting in corner.
In front of her is that German Shepherd raised many years, lowering head eating something.
Julian walked over: “Feeding what?”
Giselle back stiff, rapidly threw remaining thing in hand into dog bowl, stand up face already carried habitual gentle smile: “Nothing, some pig heart, give Little Black extra meal.”
She naturally held Julian arm, “Help me look which dress wear good today?”
Julian gaze however nailed in that dog bowl.
This thing how so like what he brought back yesterday…
His heart fiercely sank.
Just not wait him look careful, Giselle already half pull half drag took him away.
Today is big day, Julian till end also didn’t find suitable chance call Dr. Carter.
He told himself, estimate is me playing small temper, intentional let Dr. Carter call him so many times.
Hale old house main hall decorated solemn magnificent.
Family important members all present, witness moment new Family Head take over Trust Token.
Julian stood front row, watching mother hand that Jade Token symbolizing supreme power to Giselle.
Giselle mouth corner contain smile, reach hand take.
Just at this instant, main hall huge projection screen without warning lit up, above directly appeared my face.
From yesterday I kneel beg Julian start, until Giselle whispered those words in my ear.
“These years he always said want marry me, even Jerry eating medicine matter also is, I just said a sentence there is a folk prescription from a doctor is eating six-month-old fetus heart, he then did this kind of bastard thing.”
“But when gave me those things, I all felt dirty, afraid have infectious disease, didn’t let Jerry eat, all fed to dog…”
Full venue dead silence.
Blood color on Giselle face instant faded clean, extended hand froze in mid-air.
During period have several servants want turn off this screen, but TV like controlled by someone, how also can’t turn off.
Julian whole body blood also at moment hearing Giselle last sentence as if frozen.
He looked screen, looked again Giselle.
“I, I didn’t.” Giselle instant panicked, hurry explain to Julian, “Julian you believe me, I never said these words to Elena.”
At this time, present people all reacted, pointing fingers at screen.
See already someone take out phone want take photo, Julian hurry step forward block.
“This is my girlfriend making temper with me, video is AI synthesized, everyone don’t random spread.”
Because this video, Giselle finally didn’t succeed taking charge.
Julian handled this matter finish, then momentum fierce came hospital.
He one kick open my ward.
“Elena, you crazy, do this kind wicked thing, you not afraid karma?”
However room no my shadow, only two nurses tidying bed.
Julian walk in, ask them, “Person lying on this bed? Elena?”
Two nurses scared by him shivering, but still tell truth.
“Miss Elena she yesterday already rescue failed, passed away ah.”
Julian stunned few seconds, then rage, “Is she let you say this? What? One cry two make noise no use, now start use death threaten me, you tell her, I not eat this set, quick let her come out!”
Looks like I ruining Giselle taking charge this matter made Julian angry not light.
He while scolding while smashed things in ward into pieces.
Two little nurses scared run out, invited Dr. Carter then controlled Julian.
When Dr. Carter also told Julian I yesterday because birth massive hemorrhage, rescue failed died on surgery table after.
His eye bottom flashed a second hesitation, soon covered by raging anger again.
“Impossible, she this morning still went old house ruined my sister-in-law taking charge ceremony, how possible die?”
Julian grabbed Dr. Carter collar, “Carter, from beginning you always speak for Elena, is it she gave you money, so you cooperate her act such a play.”
Dr. Carter see can’t talk sense with Julian, directly pulled Julian came morgue.
He found my bed, pulled open white cloth on my head, pointed my already white corpse show Julian.
“Now believe?”
Julian gaze fell on my face.
He trembling hand reach over, fingertip touch cold skin time fierce shrink, like burned.
“Impossible…” He legs soft, actually straight knelt down, full face disbelief, “This isn’t Elena, how possible Elena die?”
“How won’t.” Dr. Carter face sorrow, “I long told you, she already pregnant so many children, when we opened her belly, her uterus thin like paper, fallopian tubes stuck together, separate can’t separate, we even blood too late stop, her heart rate dropped to lowest.”
Dr. Carter told Julian, so many years pregnant so many times, my uterus rotten like dumpling filling, able pregnant to tenth time already miracle.
“But she has System ah!” Julian grabbed Dr. Carter arm, “She said she has System! That kind thing… that kind thing how have times limit? She definitely lying me! You all lying me!”
“System?” Dr. Carter like heard some joke, he threw off Julian hand, eyes full anger, “Julian, you always say she has System, but have you seen her System? Under heaven if really have this thing, how she one time weaker than one time, uterus how rot like that!”
Julian asked speechless, brain chaotic flashed some fragmentsโโ
Elena knelt on ground crying said she only has ten chances, said this time not born she will die.
He that time thought that just her excuse to keep child.
“No.” Julian still want say this not true, Elena not dead.
But cold morgue, cold corpse all tell him, Elena died.
Because he insisted abort tenth child, Elena died on surgery table.
This cognition fiercely pinch Julian heart, almost let him breathless.
Just when he eyes red, prepared good look me again, suddenly thought of this morning surveillance.
“Right! Surveillance!” Julian like grabbed some life saving straw, “If Elena died, then who made video? Is you! Carter, is it she begged you help her change hospital surveillance, then you synthesize video revenge me? This corpse… this corpse also fake, right?!”
He pounced to morgue bed, wanted more carefully check, fingers only touched a piece stiff cold.
Dr. Carter thoroughly enraged by his self deception, he a grab Julian, dragged him back ward I lived, “Surveillance? You look clear! Our hospital OB-GYN and surgery room to protect patient privacy, simply not allow install surveillance! Where come surveillance recording for her use!”
“Julian, are you…”
Dr. Carter originally wanted ask Julian is it because my death stimulated hallucination.
But he heard here, fierce understood something, “Julian, I know, maybe Elena System is true, she only can pregnant ten times also true, that surveillance have possibility is her System made, just for let you see clear Giselle true face!”
Julian stunned, “What called Giselle true face?”
Dr. Carter told Julian, yesterday heard him say once a doctor said can use six-month-old fetus heart cure heart disease he felt wrong.
So he night found peer inquire that doctor.
Coincidentally, he has a friend know this doctor, so he asked contact, called over.
Through his inquiry then knew, that doctor indeed said this sentence, but that time was a rich lady found him, said want film a movie invite him cameo, designed this line for him.
“So I show your sister-in-law photo to him.” Dr. Carter told him, “He said your sister-in-law is that rich lady.”
Speak here, Dr. Carter sighed again, “After I felt this matter too strange, so went investigate your nephew Jerry medical record, I found he simply no illness.”
“Wh, what?”
How like this?
If Jerry no illness, why Giselle lie him?
Then only one possibility, Giselle not want Elena born own child marry into Hale family.
This time, Julian then remembered those dialogues in surveillance.
And things saw in garden dog bowl this morning.
That simply not pig heart, is his tenth child heart.
Elena didn’t lie, his sister-in-law, really fed those hearts to dog.
One after another smashed Julian almost can’t straighten waist.
He dare not believe he didn’t believe me, insisted want me abort tenth child time, how despair I was.
Is him indulged Giselle always hurt me, is him killed our child.
He simply wrong outrageous.
Julian bit by bit slide down from wall.
Just when Dr. Carter felt he seemed hit never stand up again, Julian fierce get up.
He voice heavy, “I want go home.”
Giselle since dare lie him, then have to bear end of lying him.

$10,000 a week, night shift only, job content is: Sleep.
To get this god-tier job, I signed a contract with a huge penalty clause.
The butler Alfred handed me a pure black eye mask, tone serious like giving last words:
“Remember, no matter what Mr. Damien does to you, absolutely, absolutely do not open your eyes.”
“More importantly, do not let him know, you are awake.”
I clutched the eye mask, heart blooming with joy.
Isn’t it just playing dead? I’m an expert at this business!
Chapter 1
Before winter break, the balance in my card was cleaner than my face.
To avoid being despised by my mom during holidays, and save enough tuition for next semester, I refreshed resumes day and night on Indeed.
Just when my eyes were about to go blind, a recruitment ad hit me like lightning.
[Urgent: Night Companion. Location: Blackwood Manor. Requirement: Female, good sleep quality, quiet and honest. Salary: $500 daily, $10,000 weekly.]
Ten thousand dollars!
Am I seeing things?
This isn’t recruitment, this is simply targeted poverty alleviation!
Afraid this splashing wealth would flow to someone else’s field, I submitted my resume at light speed.
Didn’t expect the reply even faster, directly sent a location, told me to interview tonight.
On the way to Blackwood Manor, I sat in the back of an Uber, heart actually drumming a bit.
The driver looked at me several times through the rearview mirror, finally couldn’t hold back: “Miss, going to Blackwood Manor this late? That place is famous for being… weird.”
I clutched my deflated wallet tight, thinking what does a poor ghost fear of weirdness?
Poverty is the scariest ghost.
Arrived at the place, I was awed by the magnificent carved iron gate.
This isn’t a manor, simply a vampire castle.
Coming out to pick me up was a middle-aged uncle wearing a tuxedo, claimed to be Alfred.
Alfred looked me up and down, eyes carrying a kind of… pity I couldn’t understand?
“Miss Mia, right? Follow me.”
The manor was scary quiet, only our footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
Decoration luxurious is truly luxurious, desolate is truly desolate.
I couldn’t help shrinking my neck, whispered: “Um, Alfred, what exactly is this job doing? I saw the recruitment wrote quite simple…”
Alfred stopped, turned around, expression serious like reading an imperial decree.
“The job is indeed simple. My young master suffers from severe sleep disorder and skin hunger, needs someone to act as… a comfort object.”
Comfort object?
Put bluntly is a human body pillow?
My mental abacus crackled loud.
Sleep with but not sleep with (sex), still get paid, this deal is profitable!
Alfred seemed to see through my thoughts, he took out a black silk eye mask from pocket, handed to my hand.
That eye mask felt cold, slippery to touch, like skin of some cold-blooded animal.
“Miss Mia, although ugly words are not pleasant to hear, but I must say ahead.”
Alfred’s voice lowered a few notches, appearing extra gloomy in this empty corridor.
“First, working hours are from 10 PM to 6 AM. During this period, you must wear the eye mask throughout.”
“Second, young master dislikes noise, no matter what happens, you cannot make a sound.”
Speaking here, he paused, eyes staring straight at me, making my scalp numb.
“Third, and the most important point.”
“No matter what you feel or hear at night, absolutely, absolutely do not open your eyes.”
“More importantly, do not let young master discover, you are awake.”
I glanced at the pitch-black eye mask in hand, heart inexplicably thumped.
These rules, why sound like filming a horror movie?
But turning thought to that money, and the bag lying in my cart for half a year, fear in heart instantly dispelled by the light of money.
Isn’t it just pretending to sleep?
In Calculus class before, I could sleep with eyes open, now sleeping with eyes closed isn’t it a piece of cake?
I patted chest guarantee: “Alfred you rest assured, I have no other merits, just sleep dead! Thunder can’t move!”
Alfred looked at me deeply, sighed: “Hope so.”
Signed the contract, Alfred took me into a huge bedroom.
Room didn’t turn on lights, only thick curtains drawn, black can’t see fingers.
Air filled with a faint cold fragrance, like cedar mixed with some unknown herbal smell, very good smell, but makes people inexplicably feel cold.
In the middle lay a ridiculously large bed.
“Go, young master will come in a while.”
Alfred finished saying, retreated like escaping for life, smoothly closed the door.
With a “click” sound of locking, the whole world seemed to quiet down.
I groped to climb onto bed, obediently put on eye mask.
This mattress soft like clouds, lying on it whole person sank in.
Comfortable is truly comfortable, just why heart always feels creepy?
Time passed minute by minute.
Just when I dazedly about to really fall asleep, door suddenly came a trace of movement.
No footsteps.
Only sound of doorknob being gently turned.
I instantly sober, whole body hair stood up.
Coming! My sugar daddy… no, is my money coming!
I held breath, forced myself relax body, tried to make myself look like a peaceful corpse.
Cold fragrance in air seemed thicker.
Immediately after, mattress beside slightly sank.
A stream of cold breath instantly wrapped me.
That wasn’t normal human body temperature, more like frozen in ice cellar for three days and nights.
I couldn’t help shivering.
Next second, a slender powerful hand, gently rested on my waist.
Across thin pajamas, that coldness penetrated bone marrow.
I involuntarily tensed muscles.
That hand didn’t stop, instead followed my waist line, bit by bit moved up.
Action elegant, slow, but carrying a kind of unquestionable control desire.
My heart panicked a batch.
This plot direction wrong!
Didn’t say just sleep disorder? How feels like transforming into The Ring?
I dead bit teeth, remembering Alfred’s teaching: no sound, no move, no open eyes.
That hand finally stopped beside my cheek.
Cold fingertip gently slid across my profile, like appreciating a fragile porcelain.
Itchy, cold.
Immediately after, a heavy object pressed up.
That so-called “young master”, buried head into my neck hollow.
Warm breath sprayed on my skin, raising a layer of fine goosebumps.
This feeling too weird.
Body cold, breath is hot.
Is he really human?
My mind instantly flashed various horror novel plots read before.
Vampire? Zombie? Or some perverted killer?
Just when I thinking wild, ear suddenly came a low laugh.
Voice deep magnetic, good to hear make ears pregnant, but revealed a strand of evil making back spine cold.
“New… pillow?”
Is he talking to me?
No, he is talking to himself.
I kept rules in mind, motionless, even breathing frequency controlled carefully.
He seemed very satisfied with me, arms tightened, circled my whole person into arms.
That suffocating oppression, made me almost breathless.
Don’t know how long passed, just when I thought this night would pass safely like this.
Change suddenly born.
I felt something, gently touching edge of my eye mask.
That is his finger.
He is hooking my eye mask strap!
My heart instantly raised to throat, crazy hitting chest cavity.
Alfred’s words crazy loop playing in mind:
[Absolutely, absolutely do not open eyes.]
[More cannot let young master discover, you are awake.]
I desperately controlled eyelids, even if eyeballs already crazy rolling under eyelids, dare not reveal a trace gap.
That finger very bad.
It didn’t rush to take off eye mask, instead gently rubbed along edge, like probing, also like teasing.
“Heart beating so fast…”
That voice sounded again, carrying a trace of playfulness, drilled in sticking to my ear.
“Are you afraid?”
Boomโโ
A firework exploded in my brain.
He knows!
He knows I’m awake!
Then what should I do now?
Continue playing dead, or jump up shout “Hero spare life”?
Before I struggled out a result, that hand suddenly exerted force.
A corner of eye mask was lifted a gap.
Faint moonlight shone in.
That instant, I instinctively wanted to close eyes tight.
But human instinct sometimes is just this damn.
Stayed in darkness long, once have light, will subconsciously chase.
I didn’t hold back, squinted a slit.
Just an instant.
I regretted.
Borrowing that cold moonlight, I saw a pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes glowing with weird red light, dead staring at me.
That face handsome unreasonable, pale without a trace of blood color.
At this moment, that face hanging a touch of evil smile.
Our sight, at this moment, collided together without obstruction.
Finished.
Chapter 2
Barbie Q-ed (Done for).
My money, seems going to become my life buying money.
He looked at my terrified eyes, smile on mouth corner deeper.
Cold fingertip gently tapped on my eyelid, voice gentle like coaxing lover, words spoken let me fall into ice cave:
“Didn’t tell you, don’t open eyes?”
I looked at that face handsome to anger gods, brain spinning fast.
Next second, I fiercely reached hand cupped his face, smack a kiss on it.
“Wuwuwu, dreaming can dream of this superb handsome guy, this life worth it!”
Air dead silent for about three seconds.
Damien โโ also my employer, obviously didn’t expect I would have this reaction.
His pair of red pupils originally full of killing intent and teasing, at this moment revealed a trace of obvious confusion.
Cold finger still stopped on my eyelid, froze.
My heart panicked like ten thousand alpacas running, but face must be steady as old dog.
This is my only way to live.
I must make him believe, I am still dreaming, I am a hungry ghost for sex, I am a sleepwalking patient!
After that smack, I even pushed luck rubbed cheek on his cold palm, mouth vaguely mumbled:
“Don’t go… my money… my handsome guy… hehe, ten thousand dollars…”
Damien’s finger trembled a bit.
He seemed evaluating if I am really stupid or pretending stupid.
“Dreaming?”
He low voice repeated once, tone carrying few parts playfulness.
That oppression didn’t disappear, instead heavier.
He lowered head, nose tip almost touched my nose tip.
I could clearly see my own reflection in his pupils โโ a coward risking life for money.
“Since dreaming,” he suddenly laughed, revealing a sharp canine tooth, appearing both evil and… damn sexy, “Then doing something else, also not excessive right?”
I haven’t reacted what “something else” means, neck suddenly came a burst of severe pain.
He bit me!
Not that flirting bite, is real bite!
Sharp teeth pierced skin, cold liquid injected along wound, or maybe he is sucking something.
I pain almost passed away on spot, tears instantly burst out.
But I dare not scream.
Because people in dream bitten won’t scream like killing pig.
I dead pinched my own thigh, forced scream into a charming hum:
“Mm… lighter… bite broken have to compensate money…”
Damien movement paused.
He loosened mouth, extended tongue tip, unsatisfied licked away blood bead on my neck.
That action, erotic to death, also dangerous to death.
“Really a… money fan.”
He low laughed once, killing intent in tone seemed lighter.
Then, he waved big hand, pulled that damn eye mask back for me, blocked my sight.
“Sleep.”
His voice seemed to have some magic.
I originally pain spirit shaking, hearing these two words, eyelids actually really started fighting.
Last thought before consciousness blurred was:
This money, really f*cking hard to earn ah…
Chapter 3
When woke up next day, I was woken up by Alfred.
Sunlight sprinkled in through curtain gap, shining me a burst of trance.
If not for two clear teeth marks on neck, I almost thought last night everything really was a dream.
When Alfred saw wound on my neck, that face paralyzed all year round instantly colorful.
Shock, fear, unbelievable, finally turned into a look seeing god.
“Miss Mia, you… still alive?”
I touched neck, pain teeth grin mouth: “Alfred, does this count work injury? Can reimburse medical fee or not?”
Alfred mouth corner twitched once: “…Count.”
When walking out room, I specially looked at that big bed.
Bed empty, not even a wrinkle, as if that cold corpse-like man last night didn’t exist at all.
But I knew he was there.
This whole manor filled with his aura, that cold, aggressive cedar smell.
When settling bill, Alfred handed me a thick envelope.
I opened look, stunned.
Not ten thousand.
Is twenty thousand.
“Young master said, this is last night’s… tip.”
When Alfred said this, expression very complex, “He also said, Miss Mia’s blood, taste not bad.”
My hand shook, envelope almost dropped ground.
So I am selling body and selling blood?
But looking at those red bills, fear in my heart instantly cured.
Twenty thousand dollars!
Don’t say sucking two mouthfuls blood, even let him treat me as mobile blood bank, as long as not suck dry, I willing!
“Alfred, I still come tonight!”
I grabbed envelope, smiled eyes unseen.
Alfred looked at me, want speak but stopped, finally just sighed: “Miss Mia, take care.”
Chapter 4
Next half month, I lived a painful and happy life.
Daytime I am money spending little rich woman, night I am Damien’s human pillow cum mobile blood bag.
Damien seemed didn’t expose my “pretend sleep” that night.
He enjoyed this cat catch mouse game very much.
Every night, he would appear on time, sometimes hug me sleep, sometimes bite me twice.
And I found, this guy’s body temperature is slowly changing.
At start like ice block, now occasionally can feel a trace of human warmth.
Most ridiculous is, he started chatting with me.

Third year after being kidnapped, my husband brought his mistress and rescued me.

But I still threw tantrums, made home chaos.
Finally, when I fought with socialite wives for nth time.

I pointed at those wives:
“They say everyday I am ruined, not worthy of you.”
“Say I can’t compare to Ruby a bit, let me not come back, fulfill you two be together.”
Husband somewhat impatient:
“Just few sentences, you make scene like this?”
Son whispered:
“Ruby mom is so good, unlike Mom you now only know losing face.”
“Besides, you being kidnapped not Ruby mom’s fault.”
I stunned, indeed not her fault.
But is it my fault?
“But I not willing you have two wives, son has two moms.”
“Choose one, either she go, or divorce.”
…
Chapter 1
Hall dead silence.
Son eye rims red, he pulled my sleeve:
“Mom, you don’t drive Little Mom away, also don’t separate with Dad okay?”
My heart ache, looking at this child I carried ten months born.
Still couldn’t hold back grievance in heart, eye rims carrying tears.
“She counts as what Little Mom? Your mom only me one!”
“If you choose her be mom, then don’t call me Mom!”
Charles immediately protected son behind, brows tight knit:
“You throw what temper to your son? How old is he, understand what?”
“I throw temper?”
I suddenly laughed out sound, tears couldn’t stop falling down:
“Charles, you look he looks like my son ma?”
“He calling other woman Mom, still want let me tolerate her.”
“Continue like this, don’t know still think Ruby is your wife, my son’s biological mom!”
I couldn’t help recall reason I fought with those wives.
Since I came back, they always gossip me behind back.
Say I ruined, not worthy Charles, say I not as Ruby virtuous capable, know big picture.
I always endure, just afraid give Charles trouble.
Until this banquet, I then knew.
Ruby although left, but always brought by him with “Mrs. Charles” identity attend various occasions.
Even house I live now, clothes wear, jewelry use, all she picked left.
Even bed I sleep, still left her perfume smell.
More I think more collapse, throat like blocked cotton ball.
“Everyone say I shouldn’t come back, you guys are most match.”
“But clearly I am your legal wife, they however all think I am mistress destroying your happiness!”
“Could it be I shouldn’t aggrieved, shouldn’t have temper?”
Charles face stiff, then helpless said:
“But that also not Ruby fault, why you want drag Ruby.”
“Is these wives said excessive, I let them apologize to you okay?”

“Pretend! You continue pretend! You think what you think I don’t know?!”
“Clearly I already back, you however still always claim ‘Mrs. Charles’ identity, don’t you just want squeeze me away, self ascend?!”
In chaos, I accidentally touched her, she not stand steady, just hit champagne tower behind.

Son also ran over grab her hand, turn head shout at me:
“Mom, you too excessive!”
Looking their family of three harmonious look.

Chest like pressed by giant stone, can’t breathe.
I suddenly laughed.

“Good.”
I retreat few steps, turn rush to balcony outside.
No hesitation, flip over railing…

Below floor have trees and shops, did buffer.
Finally in ICU rescued forty-eight hours, survived.

“I go immediately, Sister you don’t force them.”
Then she like a wife about to leave home, chattering instructing.
“Nathan, you remember drink milk at night, Charles, your underwear put in second drawer at home.”
I can see, this is Ruby disgusting me means.
But I don’t care, I only want her leave.
Chapter 2
After discharge, all things Ruby left, I called cleaner threw into trash can.
I thought, this home finally can completely belong to me.
But I found, facing me time, Charles and son more and more silent.
I start learn everyday early up cook porridge for Charles, specially go learn massage want relieve stress for him.
To let son happy, I in near forty degree weather wear heavy monster suit play with him.
I thought like this, they will love me again.
Until weekend I take son go playground, accidentally heard son and classmate dialogue.
Son voice not loud, but like needle prick into my heart:
“I tell you guys a secret, I have two moms.”
His classmate curious ask:
“What two moms, your that Little Mom, not driven away by your mom?”
“No ah, that all act for mom see, my dad long bought her a new house at school gate.”
In classmate exclaim sound, he raised chin.
Hearing this, my eyes a burst black, almost can’t stand steady.
“You not afraid your mom find out?”
Son cold snort:
“She full heart all how let us like her, won’t find out.”
“These two months, my dad excuse work busy, actually is taking me go find Ruby mom.”
“Even parent-child activity, my dad require teacher not allowed tell my mom, let me take Little Mom go.”
I support wall, heart tip rise dense pain.
Turns out Ruby simply didn’t go.
They behind my back set another home near school.
Holding spare key in Charles bag, I took taxi went address on contract.
Today should be our wedding 8th anniversary.
But now, I go catch adultery.
Through window, I look Ruby tying apron cooking, Charles then accompany son playing toys in living room.
Atmosphere harmonious, warm as if a family.
“I come really not coincidence, disturb you family of three?!”
Three people turned head, expression instant froze.
Looking Charles and son subconsciously protect Ruby behind movement.
I finally couldn’t help red eye rims, grievance overwhelming surged up:
“Charles! Two homes, you really can play ah!”
“This is you told me sent away? Let son call her Mom? Give her another home!”
Charles face flashed a trace embarrassment of being caught, then he force calm explain:
“Ruby stayed in our home three years, suddenly let her go, me and son both not used to.”
“And her family situation special, her dad alcohol addiction domestic violence, I can’t watch her jump fire pit right.”
“Domestic violence?”
I sneer out sound, tears however uncontrollable surged up.
“That three years I kidnapped sold, everyday chained beat, several times, they vividly broke my leg and two ribs.”
“But do you know? Such beating, I suffered 1100 Days.”
“If not police saved me out that day, I long died there!”
I lift open clothes, countless scars crisscross.
That time son grabbed by trafficker into black car.
I to save son, used myself exchanged son a life road.
Trafficker drove car dragged me three kilometers.
When taken into deep mountain I flesh blood blurry, body no piece good meat.
I locked in dark no sun cellar, supply old men there vent.
Kidnapped three years, I aborted more than ten times, finally uterus removed.
I choked voice:
“You guys heart ache him, why not heart ache me?”
Ruby this time walk over, eye rims red:

Saying she want untie apron on body.
“Enough!”

“Annie! What exactly you want?”
“Is I want let you kidnapped ruined?”
“That time everyone let me not pick you back, said you ‘not clean’, I faced pressure pick you back.”
“Also according your request sent Ruby away, what else you want?”
Tears flow more and more fierce, I couldn’t help hiss roar out sound:
“So is this my fault?”
“I deserve be ruined, be beaten, be scolded by them I am mistress destroy your happiness is it?”
“I am your real wife, child real mom!”
Charles shocked by my consecutive question.
He rubbed brow center, tired open mouth:
“I not this meaning.”
“You kidnapped we all don’t want..”
“Now like this just quite good, you don’t force me okay?”
Now like this just quite good?
I suddenly laugh out sound:
“Charles, now good where, are you want me to your cheating matter open one eye close one eye, watching you guys additionally form a new family?”
Son timidly open mouth:
“But Mom, when you not here, always is Ruby mom act my mom…”
“And for not let others say you, Dad already kept Little Mom outside, title originally belong Little Mom all gone, what exactly you still want ah?”
Behind my back live family of three days, call for me?
Heart like fiercely grabbed, I pain can’t breathe, grab hair hysterical roar:
“I kidnapped! How accompany you!”
“Mrs. Charles title, originally is belong me, she is a mistress!”
Son scared by me, hurry hide behind Ruby.
“Sister, you don’t blame child, he still small, Charles these years not easy, I just want help…”
“Help?”
Accumulated long time anger finally exploded:
“You help to want rob my husband and son? You less here pretend innocent! You are a shameful mistress!”
Charles clenched fist, knuckles white.
He suddenly loud shout: “What exactly you want?”
I want what?
I just want back my family, my son, originally belong my everything.
How now, instead all became my fault?
A burst grievance surge heart head.
“I said, this home, have her no me, have me no her!”
“You today not drive her away, I go die!”
This sentence like exhausted his last trace patience, Charles fierce pulled open tie, eyes ice cold:
“Then you go die.”
Air instant solidify.
I dare not believe look surging annoyance and impatience in his eyes, fingertips cold.
“You… let me go die?”
Charles turn away eyes, Adam’s apple moved, but didn’t speak.
Ruby suddenly open mouth:
“You guys don’t quarrel… all my fault, I shouldn’t stay…”
Charles interrupt her:
“You don’t go.”
His gaze fall on me, eyes no half guilt:
“Person should go not you, is her.”
Son also follow nod:
“Mom you always noise, if you not come back good.”
“If I not come back good…”
I repeat this sentence, tears surging smash on floor.
Looking Ruby eye bottom can’t hide pride, Charles cold side face and son eyes strange.
I finally understand, I again pushed out home by them.
I while cry while laugh, slowly retreat.
Ruby make posture want come pull my hand apologize to me, but when approach fierce pushed me a push.
I not stand steady, hit on flower vase behind.
Vase instant fall, fragments splash me a body, body come sharp pain.
Blood soon seeped out.
But Charles and son simply look not look me once, all rush over look Ruby.
“Okay right, hurt or not.”
Then, they took Ruby turned leave.
Chapter 3
I hospitalized three days, Charles and son not come see me once.
Ruby just scratched a bit skin by fragment, Charles directly asked leave to company stick body take care.
I crazy smash furniture once bought together at home.
Photos in album all tear destroy.
Finally, I lit a fire, watching them all bit by bit turn ash.
Then I called Charles, open condition:
“You want give her a home outside, can.”
“But you give her a house, have to give me ten sets.”
“Otherwise, I let Ruby this life, all can’t detach mistress title.”
Since die also can’t beg back their love, can’t get a bit their concern.
Then I not beg.
But things belong me, he don’t think less give me a cent!
I clench voice recorder in pocket, fingertip white because force.
Kidnapped three years, although I eager desire return family, re-establish connection with family.
But I not stupid, Ruby appearance like a time bomb.
Early when I foresee uneasy, I start carry voice recorder with me.
Inside has son show off two moms recording.
Also in that house hidden near school.
Charles protect Ruby defend words, all clear recorded down.
These words let me completely break last trace thought.
I sit in hotel room, mood unprecedented calm.
Once I don’t want extract emotion from this father son, they then never affect me a bit.
Kidnapped three years, already exercise my heart extra strong.
That hard time I all boiled over, betrayed by husband and son, just scratch.
Soon, phone ringtone sharp rang.
I ignore, directly silence phone, then go bathroom wash a comfortable hot bath.
Wait finish bath out, saw more than hundred missed calls and WeChat message bomb on phone.
This time, Charles phone call again.
I just press connect, his rage voice came from receiver:
“Annie! You crazy what? Why you burn house?”
“Where are you now?”
I tone calm:
“Charles, that house originally should burn.”
Charles impatient said:
“Is your brain enter water? That is our home, is you want burn then burn? Can you not so unreasonable?”
“If you have Ruby half sensible, can we between noise become like this?!”
I light laugh out sound:
“Our home?”
“You say these time heart not guilty? In your heart, exactly where is your home?”
“I see school gate that is your real home right.”
Charles fierce pause:
“Fine, even this matter is me wrong, but you also can’t burn house, inside still has many important documents, do you know that is illegal?”
“What illegal, just accidentally fire that’s all, do you have evidence prove I intentional?”
“Besides.”
I mock said:
“You cheating in marriage, use couple common property buy house for Ruby, let her wear my identity accompany you attend various occasions.”
“You guys unite lie me, treat me as fool, even watch me pushed down injured by Ruby also ignore, she just broke bit skin, you asked leave take care her.”
“You treat me as what? Could it be not you forced me to this step?”
Then, I open WeChat, sent recording file to him.
“Inside here recorded evidence you cheating in marriage, and matter you transfer marriage property.”
“You and son, I both don’t want, casual you how handle Ruby, all no relation with me, I only want compensation belong me.”
Receiver fell into dead silence, only Charles heavy breathing sound.
Passed a while, he then eased tone, tone soft few points:
“Annie, house burned just burned, we re-buy a set is fine.”
“Where are you now, we appoint a place good good talk.”
“What compensation you want, we can discuss.”
I sneer once:
“A set house want send me away, you inevitably think bit too good.”
“You owe me, not so easy pay back.”
I firm said:
“I already contacted lawyer, divorce agreement should soon send to your hand.”
“Couple common property part, I want take away I deserve, also Ruby that house, transfer to my name.”
“You cheating caused me mental damage, I will also a cent not less ask back.”
Charles tone become angry again:
“You must make matter to this step? Son think how?”
“Affect his later growth what do, can’t you think think your son?”
Think of son, my heart needle prick like pain.
But I think of son said self “two moms” that words, facing Ruby say I not sensible words.
I hard heart:
“You now say these what use? You start why not feel will affect son.”
“Is you and Ruby let him feel me this biological mom is superfluous, now you mention son, not feel late?”
I press down hoarse in throat:
“Charles, from now on we two not owe, since Ruby not go, then I disappear from your world.”
Finished this words, I not wait Charles respond, but directly hung up phone.

Every time I slept with Carter Sterling, I took care of protection myself.
Once it was too intense, broke at the end.
He teased: “Joanna, want to have my baby?”
My face slightly red, just wanted to explain.
He patted my butt, carelessly said: “Don’t be silly, you know I won’t marry a girl who plays loose.”
I froze on the spot.
Left that city the next day.
Reunited five years later.
He skillfully fished out a strawberry-flavored packet from my bag, shook it.
“Relive the old times?”
I politely refused: “No thanks, my husband is waiting for me at home.”
…
Chapter 1
Carter’s smile faded a few degrees.
The increasingly mature man’s aura was stronger than a few years ago, combined with the wind and snow of New York, pressing people breathless.
I buried my face in the scarf, nodded slightly to him then turned to leave.
Arm was grabbed by someone.
His voice low: “When did you get married?”
I was forced to stop, had to answer: “Five years ago.”
Carter sneered, hooking his lips.
“Just broke up with ex-boyfriend then seamlessly found a rebound, your skill of coaxing men hasn’t diminished.”
Cold wind cut face.
So many years passed, he could still so easily say words that made me feel humiliated.
I looked up straight into his eyes, nodded.
“Yes, my husband said he likes the way I coax him.”
Hurting words not only he can say.
Running behind his butt for so long, I also know well how to provoke his anger.
Sure enough, muscles on his face twitched rapidly.
“Three sentences not leaving your good husband, really touching couple affection.”
“Said until I’m curious, exactly what did he do, to make you this social butterfly willing to play house for him?”
He said through gritted teeth.
Eyes however flashing with seriousness… and confusion?
I turned my gaze indifferently, seriously said: “Because he said I am like snow.”
“Snow?” Carter puzzled.
Snow filling the sky drifted down, equally covering my and his shoulders.
Half a day, he chuckled.
“Does he know you were with me?”
“Eight years, we slept countless times, played all tricks, he still thinks you are pure and flawless like snow?”
I didn’t speak.
Sawyer didn’t mean this.
Back then he saw me crying heart-wrenchingly, while handing me a pack of tissues, sighed.
“Joanna, you are quite like the snow in New York.”
I didn’t understand, looked at him with red nose.
He explained: “Just looks cold, quite shrewd, but actually very silly. As long as getting a trace of warmth, will desperately chase until losing self, until becoming a puddle of water, to nourish dry land.”
I laughed through tears.
Propitious snow promises a good year.
Is a good thing.
Pulled away from memories, I reached out hand to Carter, asking for the pink square packet still pinched in his hand.
“Mr. Sterling, give it back to me.”
“I really going home, my husband is waiting for me to eat.”
Carter however flipped wrist, stuffed thing into his coat pocket, smiling ambiguously.
“Give to me.”
“Little girlfriend shy, never embarrassed to actively prepare these, just right save me buying.”
I noncommittal.
Withdrew hand step to leave.
Carter remembered something, suddenly said: “Guide Joanna, tomorrow don’t forget to pick us up at hotel, if change person halfway, I will complain to your travel agency.”
My steps paused slightly, helplessly nodded.
Peak travel season, Carter brought girlfriend to travel.
I am the tour guide receiving them.
Chapter 2
Next day.
I went to Carter’s hotel early.
Agreed to meet at 8, they came down at 10.
Pretty girl held his arm, shyly complaining: “All blame you, why torment me in morning, later can’t ski all blame you.”
He lazily glanced at me, didn’t speak.
I boarded the business van with wooden face.
Arrived at Aspen ski resort.
Lila looked at a row of muscular men providing carry-skiing service eyes shining, shaking Carter’s arm said: “I want too, you carry me ski.”
I timely opened mouth to promote: “We can provide drone follow-up shooting service, very photogenic.”
Little girl more energetic, non-stop acting spoiled.
Carter however unmoved, he seriously picking snowboard, casually pointed: “You go find them carry, they are professional.”
Lila stunned, moment later pouting: “You not jealous?”
Carter finally picked a snowboard.
Hearing words, smiling explained: “My vinegar jar not that big.”
Added a sentence: “Be good, I haven’t practiced, afraid hurting you.”
Little girl mumbled “I don’t believe, you afterwards definitely will find excuse torment me”, gave up most classic carry-skiing project, obediently went to manager consult single shooting service.
I expressionlessly finished watching a familiar taming performance.
Little girl definitely thinks Carter is saying one thing meaning another, actually very cares he having intimate contact with other guys, so actively avoid suspicion.
Only I know, no.
Carter didn’t lie.
He really doesn’t like being jealous.
Sometimes the care he shows, is just twisted possessiveness at work.
Same possessiveness as towards a cat, a dog, an ear pick.
Stained with a bit of his breath, then not allow others touch.
Even if this thing is not important to him.
People too.
Chapter 3
First time I met Carter, was at a classmate’s birthday party.
Tested into bustling metropolis from remote village, I worked hard for half a year, still couldn’t adapt to completely different college campus.
Study became unimportant thing.
Social, circle, family background and messy abilities are.
I have nothing.
Walking alone.
As an orphan, I already used to this state.
But still felt indescribable loneliness when squeezed out of crowd at lively party.
I met Carter at this time.
He leaned on terrace railing, smoking uninhibitedly.
Seeing me, turned hand handed cigarette holder over, smiled unrestrained.
“Smoke?”
That instant, I heard heart beating thumping sound, so deafening.
I was certain I met same kind, started running behind his butt.
But that night’s loneliness was just fleeting illusion, Carter actually is undisputed campus prince, always surrounded by countless men and women.
I was so inconspicuous among them.
But Carter didn’t drive me away.
He tacitly allowed me stay by his side, like raising a stray dog no need feeding.
I just became his little tail.
Once, playing Truth or Dare.
I drew punishment to kiss a boy at same table.
I dared not refuse, afraid they think I spoil fun, just about to hard scalp kiss down.
Carter suddenly exploded, dragged me out.
In dim night, he angrily bit my lips, forcefully sucked rubbed.
My brain lack oxygen, near suffocation.
Chapter 4
I thought that day Carter was jealous.
Drawing such conclusion made me secretly happy endless.
Jealous means care, does this mean, he also likes me a little.
I happily fantasized, waited.
Waited full a week, he didn’t contact me once.
Day I actively went find him, a senior sister just got off his passenger seat, after ten minutes wet kiss with him, twisted waist back to dorm.
I red eyes stepped forward, put all eggs in one basket confessed.
Carter put arm on car window, expression playful debauched.
“I didn’t bring Condoms, you go buy, want XL, strawberry flavor.”
I went.
That night, we spent in hotel.
Next day, under torn plastic packaging pressed a dress, replacing my shapeless shirt.
I looked at collar low to chest, whole body awkward.
Carter however touched my waist, dropped light kiss.
“Very beautiful, I like.”
I looked at self in mirror, seemed indeed more matching him than before.
So endured overly bold clothes.
That time I thought self was step by step approaching him.
Even if unrecognizable also not hesitate.
But didn’t expect he said in eight years later: “Loose ones just sleep is fine, marry still need clean pure ones.”
My full cavity love and dignity, thoroughly trampled by him under feet.

Getting off work, I scrolled past a Reddit thread.
[Should I pursue a guy if he has a girlfriend?]
A comment said: “Of course.”
“Five years ago I moved, neighbor was a high IQ handsome guy, he had a girlfriend then.”
“I became friends with them first, then framed his girlfriend for hurting me, acted weak to make him feel sorry, they immediately had a rift.”
“Later they often argued, the most serious time, when the guy came to me to vent, I kissed him, he immediately lost control.”
“And that night, his girlfriend was still sad about her College Rejection Letters.”
“Now found my choice indeed right, he became a partner at a listed company, we are about to get married, if not for my initiative back then, where would this life come from.”
Then, this girl changed the topic: “His ex-girlfriend is miserable, didn’t go to college, probably rotting in the mud for a lifetime.”
I instantly froze, because I discovered, I am that ex-girlfriend in her mouth.
Chapter 1
Seeing this comment proudly recounting her homewrecking experience, my first reaction was to exit this post.
Because I also encountered such a thing.
But I stopped my finger, because this profile picture was incomparably familiar to me.
It was Scarlett and Liam Sterling’s first photo together, on Liam’s birthday, taken by me.
I couldn’t help staying under this comment for a long time.
Most below were scolding her, saying she has no shame being a mistress.
But also a small part supported her, thinking she just made the best choice.
“This is a Girlboss move, binding a potential stock early to cross class, wanting to live better is not wrong.”
“Even without this episode, they might not make it to the end, I think she did nothing wrong.”
At this moment I stood by the road, wind suddenly picked up, I didn’t stand steady, dinner in hand rolled into a muddy puddle.
I bent down, threw the dirty sandwich into the trash can.
Actually I am that ex-girlfriend mentioned in this comment.
Later Liam and I separated, I didn’t go to college, even my mom who loved me most had an accident.
That time I wanted to commit suicide several times, until recent years, life slowly returned to track.
Only then I remembered, it’s already been five years, fifth year since I broke up with Liam, third year since I completely let him go.
Past pain and grievance, already healed with scars on hand and let go, dissipated in the wind.
Back home, I organized messy sketches on the table.
Like Scarlett said, I finally didn’t go to college, also no chance to cross class again.
When organizing sketches back into cabinet, I suddenly saw a long dust-sealed letter.
Handwriting on it bold and powerful wrote: “To Natalie.”
At the end of the letter he wrote, will give me everything he has, but finally I lost everything because of him.
My thoughts suddenly pulled back to the past.
Me and Liam were childhood sweethearts, grew up together.
We lived in the same community, that time he still had a happy family.
Later his dad’s business got bigger and bigger, times home became fewer and fewer, he always ran to my house, said here looks like home, and his home is not home.
Six years old, Liam’s dad cheated, his mom smashed everything in home overnight, along with no longer loving him.
When divorced parents kicked him like a balloon, no one wanted him.
Chapter 2
Once warm family of three, from then on only left an empty home.
Finally, my parents saw him pitiful, took care of him like biological son.
From then on, me and Liam inseparable, never separated again.
He always excellent, grades excellent, looks handsome.
And I am that kind of ordinary girl, not pretty, grades also average, only outstanding merit maybe is talent in drawing.
But past me also didn’t feel not worthy of Liam.
He once said, is our family gave him all family warmth, we are his family.
He also said, I am a beam of light in his gray world.
Freshman year of high school, one night after Study Hall, I went home with Liam as usual.
In a remote alley, encountered Liam’s dad.
He full of alcohol smell, words and actions erratic, behavior crazy.
Turns out he went bankrupt, mistress also ran, so now thought of Liam again.
Liam didn’t want go with his dad, his dad fierce pounced over want drag him away.
Was me regardless everything blocked in front of him, drove away his dad.
Actually I scared legs couldn’t stand steady, but I more afraid he hurt.
That night, Liam tightly hugged me, said he this life only love me one person.
After high school, Liam more and more excellent, attracted countless girls pursuit.
Liam is unshakable grade first, and I am just an art student with average grades.
I also afraid he would leave my side, but Liam only smilingly pinched my nose said: “Silly melon, how would I leave you, kindness of you and uncle auntie to me I can’t repay in this life.”
I also thought would be happy like this, until Scarlett appeared.
A hot summer, I wrote homework with him in Liam’s house, suddenly came knock door sound.
Opened door is a girl with braids, sunny and bright.
She said she just moved here, is Liam’s new neighbor, light voice seemed to dilute summer heat, but my heart somewhat uneasy.
Maybe because she too pretty, or maybe I noticed flashing light in her eyes looking at Liam.
Later knew, this uneasiness was not illusion, but portrayal of my latter half high school life.
Next day I knew, Scarlett not only became Liam’s new neighbor, even transferred to our school next day.
Just finished monthly exam, teacher reviewing last grades, average me finally got class first in English, but when teacher praise words just said out, Scarlett appeared at class door.
Whole class sensation, no one cared my grade anymore, but one after another looked towards Scarlett outside door.
“Wow, our school actually has such beauty!”
“Are you stupid, look is transfer student, otherwise how never seen before.”
I then knew, Scarlett not only became Liam’s neighbor, also about to become our classmate.
And what I didn’t expect is, when choosing deskmate, Scarlett actually chose me.
“Natalie, in this class I only know you one girl, later you have to help me more.”
“I know you and Liam relationship good, later can you bring me together.”
She smiled brilliant, like warm sun in winter.
And I, seemed also can’t find any reason to refuse.
From then on, between me and Liam inserted a third person.
Chapter 3
I had few friends in class, and since Scarlett came classmates also felt, Liam and her are match made in heaven, even if person Liam likes is me.
“Class beauty and class grass together, what does Natalie always insert for?”
“Who knows, toad wants to eat swan meat.”
At that time I really treated Scarlett as good friend, asked her if I really not worthy of Liam.
But Scarlett only smilingly said: “How could it be Natalie, although you not pretty, but Liam also not value these ah.”
“Right, weekend Liam wants take you to amusement park, he dare not tell you personally, let me pass word, you don’t forget ah.”
Although relationship with Liam is tacit, but such date, me and him still first time.
That day after school I specially left early, rained heavy, I still went to a far mall bought a gift for Liam.
I picked a tie, clerk asked if sending to boyfriend, I shyly nodded.
Day go amusement park, I wore a yellow dress, always tied ponytail hair also let down, waiting at gate always thinking, is such dressing too exaggerated.
But I waited till dark also didn’t wait Liam, messages sent out also like stone sink ocean.
I long no mood, worried Liam had accident.
Sky too dark, on way I fell into a muddy land, yellow dress instantly muddy, tie also flew out.
When I rushed there, opened door only saw Scarlett lying on Liam’s bed, and Liam aside making cold medicine for her.
“Why you come now, went where? Today couldn’t find you all time.”
“You don’t know Scarlett rained yesterday, she fever fainted early morning, if not I live next door don’t know how dangerous.”
He had no explanation for breaking appointment, only anger and questioning to me, knew so many years, he also first time threw such big fire at me.
And Scarlett eye rims containing tears said: “Natalie, I know you had urgent matter yesterday, but so heavy rain, you also shouldn’t take away my umbrella ah.”
“My home no cold medicine, mom and dad both business trip, always message you, you actually blocked me, lucky I fainted when finding Liam, otherwise don’t know what to do.”
Speaking here, Scarlett couldn’t help choking: “Natalie, I just came here school, always treat you as best friend, why you want do this…”
Liam reached hand wiped her tears, interrupted her words said: “Enough, no need say more.”
I instantly froze in place, turns out in Scarlett mouth, is another set of rhetoric.
My eye rims containing tears, passed long time then open mouth, prepared hand tie to Liam said: “I didn’t, I just…”
But Liam didn’t even look me once, instead handed water cup in hand to Scarlett.
I like an outsider, passed long time, I no longer stay here, but left Liam’s home.
Because this matter, me and Liam first time broke out cold war.
After school start I silent changed seat, no longer be deskmate with Scarlett.
And class people look me eyes also more strange, Scarlett told others I targeted her because of Liam, shaped herself into a victim image.
No matter where I go, class filled with discussion about me.
“See not, just said she not worthy class grass, must go horizontal insert a foot.”
Chapter 4
“Just class beauty kind heart still willing play with her, if me long can’t stand, result she still not know good bad, fake high what?”
For a time, I seemed became rat everyone shout beat, even if I did nothing wrong.
Even Liam, also no longer give me a look.
That time teenage me, where can stand such grievance.
Finally I couldn’t endure anymore, found Liam after a Study Hall.
And that time he still correcting wrong questions for Scarlett, seeing is me find him, eyes revealed a trace surprise.
Me and Liam went home together, I told him all my grievances, asked him why treat me like this.
But when I said Scarlett intentionally lied me go amusement park, and framed me took her umbrella, Liam frowned.
He impatient interrupted my words said: “I don’t understand why you always have such big hostility to her, she is not person you think, don’t understand your those schemes.”
“Since knew Scarlett, I then discovered you originally are person with such strong jealousy, clearly she so good to you, you want say her like this, just because she pretty you want repeatedly frame her?”
“Do you know that day she burned severe, but after you left still non-stop say is it herself said too ugly.”
I stunned, I didn’t expect knew many years, Liam to me even this bit trust no have.
“Natalie, knew you so many years, you first time make me feel so disgusting, is self average so also can’t see others good?”
I dare not believe this is words said from Liam mouth.
And he seemed also felt self said bit excessive, reached hand want pull my sleeve.
“Natalie… I not that meaning.”
And I long no any patience, fast ran back home, locked myself in room cried whole night.
I no longer speak with Liam, everyday bury head study, just want hurry leave here.

He holding a bunch jasmine came my home.
“Natalie, before is me said too excessive, can you forgive me.”
“I still, don’t want separate with you, send you jasmine, advise you not leave (Mo Li/Jasmine sounds like Mo Li/Don’t Leave).”

My best friend’s Navy SEAL brother retired from the military and came back.

Best friend sighed everyday for this:
“I decided to be Child-free in this life, now my brother also had this accident, I see our old Zimmerman family is going to cut off the incense, completely lonely ending!”
Who would have thought, a few days later, when I finally saw this legendary tough guy soldier with my own eyes, I was completely dumbfounded.
How does he look exactly the same as the father of my child from a one-night stand a few years ago!
Chapter 1
“All blame my dad for giving unlucky names, I am Zoe, my brother is Jace. Sounds like ‘Zero’ and ‘Cease’, can it be good!”
In a BBQ Joint, best friend hugged a beer bottle wailing like a ghost.
“Originally I wanted to wait for my brother to come back, introduce him to you, let Nina become my biological niece.”
“But a man can’t reproduce, what’s the difference from waste. We have such good relationship, how can I harm you!”
Just talking, her phone rang.
I glanced at the screen.

Best friend already drunk lying on table, didn’t hear at all.
I struggled for a moment, when the impatient ringtone rang for the third time, I answered for her.
“Mom said if you are not dead, roll back home.”
Voice deep.
Quite good to hear.
I pinched my inexplicably hot earlobe.
“Hello, I am Zoe’s friend.”
“We are at the BBQ Joint on South Main St, do you have time to pick her up?”
Looking at best friend like this, it would be hard for her to go home by herself today.
I drank not little either.
If someone can pick up, naturally more convenient.
Opposite haven’t responded, best friend originally lying on table suddenly “corpse revived”.
“My that pitiful brother yo, went to military academy young age, old age still a Virgin, now this situation later fear no one wants…”
Receiver end suddenly fell into weird silence.
Awkwardness made my drunkenness fade a bit: “She really drank a lot.”
“Address.”

I never saw him.
Until a week ago, best friend’s brother retired, I then knew he was heavily injured.
Seeing time about right, I supported best friend waiting at door.
Far away saw a black Ford F-150 drove over.
Down came a tall man.
Wearing sharp work clothes, shoulder wide legs long.
Can’t see face clear, only glimpsed a sharp silhouette.
Same time, video call came.
“Is it Nina?”
Best friend dazedly looked at my phone.
“So late suddenly find you, don’t be any situation.”
“You quick answer, my brother already arrived.”
Saying, she waved hand to not far away man.
I heart also some not worry little kid situation.
Too late to greet other party, only wait man walk closer then hurriedly walked aside answer video.
Almost immediately.
Nina’s small face appeared opposite.
“Mom!”
Kid smiling, I then sighed relief.
“Why not sleep yet?”
“Miss Mom!”
Saying, phone that end came my mom voice.
“Today took her to countryside catch crawfish, played crazy. Home not willing sleep, insist video with you. You outside, why not home yet?”
“I out gather with Zoe.”
These few days my mom took kid back old house, I also rare got leisure.
“Godmother also there?”
Nina’s small face squeezed over again: “Mom, I want talk to Godmother!”
I turned head looked at main gate.

I twitched mouth corner.
Really is… tough guy style.
Chapter 3
Giving birth to Nina counted as an accident.
Four years ago I just broke up.
Bar buy drunk met a man.
Calm abstinent.
Every breath precisely stepped on my aesthetic point.
Taking advantage of alcohol, I slept him.
Unexpectedly, that night we abnormally match.
I still remember man’s rough big palm brushed over me, caused light tremble.
That time I thought happening a romance also not impossible.
Didn’t expect next day open eyes, other party answered a call expression suddenly serious.
“Copy that, I go immediately.”
Then rapidly get up wear clothes.
Wrote a string numbers on paper: “I have an emergency mission now, you can call this number contact me.”
Whole process I even didn’t know his name.
Originally I thought we later won’t have intersection, but didn’t expect next month I found out pregnant.
Under ten thousand helpless, I called this number.
Several times no one answer.
I thought myself was cheated.
He should be not interested in me, casual found an excuse leave.
Afterwards afraid I pester, made up a contact way dismiss me.
Because body reason, I still gave birth to this child.
But I never regretted this decision.
Nina obedient and smart, these years I also very rejoice have her company.
Next morning best friend sober, called me complain.

“No need no need, I afternoon myself can.”
“All own brothers, have what embarrassed! He anyway unemployed at home, whole day idle also nothing do.”

Didn’t expect afternoon she really came.
Behind still followed a tall man.

I knew very early on that I was the Fake Heiress in a “Switched at Birth” novel.
But the most important person in my life was never that rich CEO.
It was the True Heiress who saved me from deep waters.
But now.
Her kidney was dug out, her corpse lying lonely on the operating table.
Her most loved husband stood aside without a word.
And my lover was gently coaxing the woman who caused all this, telling me not to be crazy.
I looked at them, thinking.
From today on, they will know what a real madwoman is!
…
Chapter 1
When I learned from abroad that Serena was undergoing surgery, I immediately booked the earliest flight back to New York.
But what greeted me was only a cold corpse.
I stood blankly by the operating table, fingers tightly gripping the bed rail, quietly looking at the corpse of the woman I loved most in this life.
I raised my hand to lift the white cloth covering her, hand trembling uncontrollably.
Her chest was empty, the position of the kidney only left a bloody hole, mottled blood stains on her body seemed to tell me the inhuman treatment she suffered before death.
My throat seemed to be strangled by something, breathing became difficult, eyes also pitch black.
“How could it be like this?…” I mumbled to myself, turned to look at Quentin.
This man who told me he would make Serena happy for a lifetime, this man I entrusted Serena to with confidence.
And at this moment Quentin squatted at the operating room door, face pale, eyes empty, like lost his soul.
I walked fast to him, fiercely slapped him several times: “What exactly did you do?”
And at this time a woman suddenly appeared, grabbed my hand preparing to continue slapping, screamed out: “Don’t hit Quentin, everything is my fault.”
I lifted eyes to look at her, she cried out: “Blame me, is I have kidney disease, I need Sister Serena’s kidney, but didn’t expect… didn’t expect surgery failed, all my fault, don’t blame Quentin.”
Hearing these, I just coldly looked at her, this look of pitiful appearance no wonder let Quentin want to change kidney to save her.
“What thing are you? Roll far away.” I threw away her hand, continue fiercely slapping Quentin.
Quentin silent not speak, just blindly taking beatings.
At this time this woman actually knelt to me, crying shouted grabbed my thigh: “All my fault, you don’t be like this.”
When I wanted to kick her down with one foot, a man suddenly appeared grabbed my hand: “Scarlett, are you done yet?”
Then helped up the woman on ground, I looked at him, heart gradually cold down.
I coldly looked at this man in front of eyes โ my lover, Julian Vance.
He at this moment face full of gentleness supporting the woman on ground, eyes full of heartache and concern.
“Julian, do you know what you are doing?” I looked at him, voice also like frozen cold.
“Scarlett, Serena is already dead, what can you do if you are not satisfied? Now things already happened, Hailey also apologized, you making scene again also useless, right?”
“Then I now want to take out her kidney, return to Serena, do you think okay?” I looked at his eyes, coldly asked.
Julian silent not speak.
“Seems you really care about this woman! Even if Serena died on operating table, you two protect her like this.” I turned to look at Quentin behind who already had no soul, fiercely said.
Then I looked at Hailey still hiding behind Julian, she seemed burned by my eyes, whispered crying: “Sister Scarlett, I really didn’t mean to, I just wanted to live.”
“Shut up!” I suddenly raised hand, wanted to slap over, but wrist grabbed by Julian.
His strength very big, gripping my hand very painful.
“Scarlett, you really don’t be crazy again!” Julian’s voice carried warning.
“Good.” I looked at him threw off his hand, firmly said.
Then I turned walked to operating table side, looking at Serena above, that bloody hole on her chest like a knife, fiercely stabbed into my heart.
I reached hand gently touched her face, used voice only we two can hear said: “Serena, you rest assured, I definitely will make all people who hurt you pay price.”
Just like long ago she said to me she would protect me for a lifetime, said won’t let me receive a bit hurt that firm.
I gently picked up Serena’s corpse, her body cold and stiff, as if telling me her unwillingness.
I prepared to hold her walk out operating room, but blocked by a figure: “Based on what you take her away, she is my lover.” Voice issued exactly from Quentin who had no soul till now.
“Quentin, did you already forget? Before Serena died already submitted divorce request with you, you already no longer her lover.”
Quentin still wanted say something, but blocked by Hailey figure, could only give up.
I took Serena’s corpse came to our former home, here still so beautiful, just person fighting with me now changed appearance.
I gently put her corpse into cold storage, beside full of her favorite flowers, as if she just fell asleep.
Looking at her face, I actually started recalling past.
I since small not obedient child, others as long as did bad thing to me, I definitely will double pay back.
Like seven years old that year, our neighbor’s kid for fun, threw my schoolbag into roadside pond, I wordless walked into cold pond picked up schoolbag.
Next day, I pushed this kid into pond, let him also feel coldness.
Parents rushed come time, only saw my indifferent incomparable eyes.
Since then, kids in our villa area no longer dare provoke me, my parents also more and more cold to me.
Twelve years old that year, parents brought back Serena, I then knew, I never was their biological daughter, I probably is vicious Fake Heiress described in novels.
But Serena never gave up on me, even I before robbed her parents love to her, even after she came back I countless times bullied her, she would also always follow behind me call me Sister.
This time I then knew, even I time and time ignore her, she still whole heart whole intention trust me.
Past me always full of hate to this world, but Serena would again and again grab my hand, tell me as long as have her, I will forever happy.
After adult, our parents died due to accident, I alone propped up family company.
At this time, many people persuaded Serena, said I am outsider, is want rob Shen Family property, these people all driven away by her with broom.
Until she met Quentin, she became happy blissful, seeing them two love each other, I then unwillingly handed Serena to Quentin.
I thought Serena would be happy for a lifetime, but didn’t expect what I got was only a cold corpse.
Chapter 2
Passed a day, I directly took people went to Quentin and Serena’s previous home.
No longer care still lost soul Quentin, directly let people organize Serena’s things before death one by one, put in yard.
Her diary, photos, her favorite clothes, even gifts Quentin gave her before.
Quentin saw my action, but didn’t stop, just eyes empty stood aside, as if a walking corpse.
“Do you know? Quentin?” I coldly looked at him, holding a lighter in hand: “Serena once said to me, her life biggest happiness was meeting you, she believed you would treat her good for a lifetime, she wanted to go down with you forever.”
Hearing this, Quentin’s body slightly trembled, lips moved, but didn’t emit sound.
“But you?” I lit lighter, flame rapidly burned those items.
“What did you give her? You gave her a cold corpse, a bloody hole.”
Quentin’s tears finally flowed down, he knelt down in front of flame, hands covering face, voice hoarse said: “Sorry, is me sorry Serena.”
“Sorry.” I sneered: “You think your one sentence sorry can make up everything? Serena already died, she never will come back. And you! Quentin, all this is caused by you.”
I stepped forward, fiercely grabbed Quentin’s hair, looked at him with hateful eyes: “Serena before death last moment, still thought you would save her, still thought you would like you promised protect her forever, but you? For a woman, even not hesitate hurt Serena, is you, personally killed Serena.”
Quentin’s hair was rawly pulled up by me, he could only look up at me, his eyes full of despair and pain: “I really didn’t know would be like this, I just wanted to save Hailey, I really didn’t expect.”
“You just wanted to save Hailey?” I let go his hair, interrupted his words: “Then Serena’s life not important? Her life can be casually sacrificed?”
“No, no.” Quentin desperately shook head, but voice more and more low: “I didn’t want sacrifice her, I just, just…”
I no longer listen his nonsense, just looking at burning flame, tears slowly flowed down.
Flame burning Serena’s relics, emitting sizzling sound, like her silent accusation, and Quentin’s crying sound slowly became hoarse, echoing in empty yard.
I looked at Quentin this appearance, threw one item on ground, is Serena’s pregnancy certificate.
“Do you know? Is Hailey you fought life want save killed your child.”
Then I watched him like crazy picked up that certificate, sneered out sound: “Quentin, you deserve it! Person like you not worthy be with Serena.”
Finished I turned leave, only left Quentin alone kneeling in front of flame, holding that certificate, painfully crying.
Chapter 3
After leaving Quentin’s home, I found all information about Hailey.
I found she suddenly appeared beside us, if say me and Serena story like True Fake Heiress novel, hers like white flower growth story.
Inexplicably only associate degree Hailey became Quentin’s life assistant, started love kill with Quentin, from inside also knew my husband Julian.
I looked at these materials, how also can’t understand always loved Serena Quentin how would like woman like Hailey, even for her, not hesitate everything.
Before even for Hailey, moved hand to his business partner for many years, just because partner said a sentence Hailey is seducing mistress.
I looked at these, instead fell into silence.
Then I immediately found that person beaten by Quentin, from his mouth learned turns out Hailey before always was others mistress, so she was arranged into Quentin’s company, became assistant.
Seeing Quentin’s money, she immediately dumped previous person, hooked up Quentin, I also got Hailey and her ex photos from him.
Then I immediately sent this photo in Quentin’s company group chat, let everyone know Hailey’s nature.
Not only this, I also let people send a file to Quentin’s hand, inside detailed recorded evidence how Hailey secretly bullied Serena, from it can find, Hailey not once slander Serena behind back, even many times create misunderstanding, let Quentin produce suspicion to Serena.
Among them also a surveillance video, inside completely recorded video of Hailey knowing Serena pregnant, unhesitatingly pushed Serena down stairs.
When Serena wanted tell this matter to Quentin, but was told by Quentin want Serena change kidney to Hailey.
Quentin saw these after, immediately contacted me, questioned me file truth, when he heard my affirmative answer, he immediately crazy like went find Hailey.
I also went to Hailey’s residence, want watch a good show.
When I rushed there, they two were arguing, same time I also saw here my husband Julian who I haven’t seen since operating room.
Quentin always angrily questioning Hailey, she at start still quibbling, but in front of evidence, she finally collapsed, admitted everything.
“All done by me so what?” Hailey hysterical said: “Based on what Serena own your everything? Based on what own happiness? I am the person should get everything!”
Quentin heard this, no longer able control, reached hand want hit Hailey.
However, just when his slap about to fall, Julian appeared grabbed his wrist, protected Hailey behind.
“Quentin, you calm down a bit.” Julian said with warning voice.
Quentin coldly looked at Julian, eyes full of anger and disappointment: “Julian, you till now still protecting her? Do you know what she did? She harmed dead Serena! Also harmed dead my child!”
Julian face changed, but he still didn’t let go Quentin’s hand: “Now matter already happened, you pursue again also useless isn’t it? And did you forget? Back then was you let Serena change kidney to Hailey, don’t you have fault?”
Quentin heard this, instead crazy laughed out sound: “I know is me wrong, I am also person harmed dead Serena, but you, Julian, you again are what good person? I at least dare admit, but you are a coward.”
Then Quentin threw off his hand, looked at me standing far away, said to Julian: “You definitely will have retribution.”
Finished turned leave, leaving they two stay in place.
Till this time, Julian then discovered my existence, hurriedly came to my side, held my hand, somewhat annoyed said: “Scarlett, you listen me explain, thing not you think like this.”
I looked at his pale face, smilingly said: “Julian, looks like you really are a coward, even like Hailey dare not admit, you also really make me disgusting.”
Then I also left, no longer care Julian retaining eyes.
Because I had a more significant discovery, just now when Julian and Quentin arguing, I heard Hailey talking to a blank space, seemed saying: “System, now what should I do ah?”
Moment heard Hailey mention “System”, my brain flashed countless possibilities.
System? Could it be her everything behavior have some power support? These all let me feel very absurd.
But Hailey sudden appearance also very strange, and she even can make Quentin and Julian both dead heart fall ground to her, these unreasonable places, behind must have some power pushing.
Just when I indulged in investigation, Julian suddenly found door, he looked very bad, very haggard.
“Scarlett, you now noise enough right? Continue like this good for no one isn’t it?” He looked at me with angry eyes.
“Is it? But I still did nothing ne?” I cold eyes look him.
“Isn’t you instructed Quentin against me?” Julian looked at me, seemed know self misunderstood something, then he eased tone, peace seeking like said to me: “Now Vance Group and Qin Group fell out, Quentin also like crazy target Vance Group, our cooperation projects also all called stop, stock price also plummeting. Continue like this, bad for Vance and Qin.”
He held my hand, begging said: “Scarlett, you help me okay?”
I raised eyebrow, tone indifferent: “But these with me have what relation? Didn’t you always protect Hailey? You can let her think way ah!”
“These are all my fault, Scarlett, you don’t always blame Hailey, she is a good girl, forget it? Okay?”
“Based on what forget it, Julian did you forget? When Vance Group because fund not in place, was me and Serena went find sponsorship pull investment for you, is us everyday drinking exchange for your current things, now based on your one sentence forget it, Serena just vainly died?”
“Is you and Quentin forgot Serena’s deeds, you all sorry Serena, based on what want me forget it, now like this all you two self-inflicted! You give me roll!”
Finished, I directly pushed Julian out, no longer ignore him.
Then looking his leaving back view, I secretly swore.
Julian, Quentin, Hailey they all sorry Serena, debts they committed to Serena, I will one by one calculate, one by one ask back from them.
