"Sir, if you don't believe me I can testify for Steven and Diana. They truly love each other. Although I am not Steven's biological sister, we always consider each other a family. I have witnessed all of his emotions when he loves Diana, happy, sad, sad... All they have for each other is a sincere love. The words I say today are attested to by God."Zelda's voice surprised me quite a bit. Suddenly, a lot of people I used to know: Phelim, Muriel and her parents, Felix and Rowan, Karla and the colleagues who had worked with me at Skyline, now working as wedding caterers, stood up and said:"I can also testify to Steven and Diana's love."The person we didn't expect the most was the Mafia boss, Steven's cousin; he stood up and said in a serious voice: "Me too. I know a secret from Steven. He will never shed a tear in front of a girl he doesn't love."Theodore shrugged and said, "As you can see, Steven cried in front of Diana. This proves that he loves his bride very much.Their actions m
We woke up the following day, arms and legs still entwined as the sun shone through the thin curtains. Steven was so energetic last night, bringing me into a world filled with lust. If I hadn't fallen asleep because I was so tired, maybe Steven wouldn't have had any intention of stopping.Steven kisses my forehead; he leans on his elbows and looks at me lovingly and possessively, making me a little embarrassed. I stroked his silky hair and said, "Good morning, my love!""Good morning sweetheart!" He kissed my white neck; his warm, melodious voice whispered in my ears as if seducing me.I stretched and moaned softly as my whole body was the red kiss marks left by Steven and my entire body ached from last night's lovemaking. I whispered, "I don't know if I have the strength to get up after last night."Steven leaned on the top of me and said in a loving voice, "If you can't walk, I'll carry you."I giggled, wrapped my arms around Steven's neck, and actively kissed his lips a deep kiss.
I thought our life was peaceful, but no, something terrible happened. Steven and I got a phone call saying that Odelia got lost while playing in the amusement park and still had yet to find her. We went there immediately. Steven mobilized many people to find her in the park, but Odelia was nowhere to be found.I was so scared, and I cried and called out my daughter's name in vain. Odelia is our treasure, and nothing can happen to her. Three hours have passed, but all the police stations in the city have not received a call about a lost child. At this point, I'm sure someone kidnapped Odelia for ransom.I've been through a lot of fear in my life, but I've never been this scared. It's slowly killing me since I can't find Odelia. If something happened to her, I would never forgive myself. I have never felt so hopeless as I do now. Now, we have to wait for the phone of the person who kidnapped Odelia."Diana, I'm sorry. I…." Zelda said as she sobbed loudly, her trembling hand gripping min
I woke up in a pitch-black basement, with only a little outside light shining through the door crack. I felt my body aching; there was no strength left after being beaten by Killian because I was trying to get back the money I had saved over the years from this stepfather. My mother, Killian and his son are gamblers. They stole the money I worked so hard to get into casinos often. When the three of them were penniless and in debt piled up, they came to me again, forcing me to give them money.I lay huddled in the cold basement and constantly wondered why I must endure such a dark life? After all, what did I do wrong? Even the mother I trust the most only sees me as a money-making tool for her. At this moment, I really miss my father, he is the one who understands me the most and loves me the most, but I don't know why that day, he didn't take me with him?"Dad, where are you now? I miss my dad so much."At this moment, I couldn't hold back the tears that fell, making the wound on my f
He seemed to have ordered his bodyguard to lift me up. At this close distance, I could clearly see this man's face. My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment because this was the same man who had taken my virginity three years ago. The man I can't forget with his dark black hair hanging over his forehead, his perfect face, insanely beautiful, and his pale blue eyes piercing my soul. Confusion reigned within me."Please save me." I gasp, the words dry like sawdust in my mouth. I couldn't hold back my tears and cried right before him. I'm so scared, and I don't know who to turn to right now except him.At my pleas, he swept his sharp, hawk-like eyes, looking at me from top to bottom to judge me for who I was. I looked down at my bare feet in shame; I looked so messy, like a beggar. I wondered if he saw my poor situation and came to my aid?"Sorry for obstructing your path. She's drunk and speaking unsavory words. Now we will bring her back."I was startled to hear Charles' blatant li
I saw that man slowly move away from me, and my consciousness gradually became hazy before my eyes darkened. On this cold, desperate night, I cried out for the last bit of hope from that man with a heart of stone."I will do anything you want. Please, get me out of here.""Shut up! You're crazy!" Charles covered my mouth and roughly pulled me away. I tried to hold my body down to wait for the man's decision.I looked at Charles indignantly and expressed my disgust for him in every word: "You are a demon. I curse you to hell and get out of my life."Charles tugged my hair back, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fuck! Tonight I'll punish you, so you shut up."My eyes flashed when I saw that he had stopped, but he still didn't move while I was about to be carried by Charles to the car. He was trying to push me inside the car to get me out of this place quickly. I screamed weakly and fought back to break free of his grip: "Get out of my way.""Wait a moment!" That man's voice was so powerful
I felt a cold air wrap around me, my body shivering as I turned around and met his sharp eyes. I want to run away now, but I can't; I don't have any strength left. Even if I could jump out of the car, I wouldn't be able to escape this man's muscular bodyguards. And maybe, my actions will also make him angry; then he will give me back to Kirk and Charles. I clenched my fist and hid it in my coat pocket to hide the fear in my heart. The sense of panic and emptiness made me feel like my veins were frozen. Then I shook my head in denial of his question; however, I couldn't stop thinking about the worst that could happen to me. I wonder if my decision to ask this man to help me was right or wrong?I gulped and boldly told him, "If this can help me pay off my debt, I will."He stared at me with narrowed eyes, testing whether my words were true or false. I hope he does not realize my disgust for him, even though he is my benefactor. My mind is blank now; I can't think of anything else. I'm n
Then Steven dragged me to another room; the surrounding space was all gray; looking around appeared a dark color, dim light, fanciful. I clenched my fist to become calmer as I faced him. He stared at me like he wanted to pierce my heart. Seeing that look in his eyes made the hairs on the back of my neck shiver. Steven gave me a scornful smile at my words. He seems to think I'm some kind of no-nonsense person, but I still try to hold my head high to retain some of my pride, even though I know what's going to happen to me.“Diana, I gave you one last chance to run away from this place. But it seemed that she purposely did not want to leave. As expected, you are not an ordinary person.”I nodded firmly in response to Steven's question. Although I know starting this job is somewhat dangerous and having to stop studying at university temporarily. Later, when I pay off all this debt, I will continue my study path, go to another place, and start a new life. I will bury my past; I don't want
