When Sheila Montgo's baby was born, Asher felt a little disappointed because the child's appearance showed no resemblance to her mother.In Asher's daydreams, he hoped his daughter would look more like Vivienne. However, being a newborn, with wrinkled skin and all, she simply looked like a little monkey.As Sheila grew day by day, her facial features became more distinct, and she started to resemble Asher more and more. Despite Asher's initial disappointment, Vivienne was delighted, especially when she saw the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, staring at her. It gave her a sense of accomplishment.It was after Sheila's birth that Vivienne learned about the Montgo family's blood curse. Asher took the initiative to tell her, and the revelation left Vivienne utterly shocked, like a storm at sea.The Montgo family's blood curse meant that in the next generation of Montgo children, one of them would inherit it. Although Vivienne felt uneasy and worried, when Sheila turned five, the
"Vivi, in this lifetime, there can only be you for me. So, in your lifetime, there can only be me."On the vast and pure white bed, the slender and sturdy body of the young man pressed against the girl beneath him, his delicate lips lingering on the girl's collarbone."Let me go," the girl's voice carried a hint of breathlessness."Don't you like me?" The kissing stopped, and his chin slowly lifted, his beautiful eyes fixed firmly on the girl in front of him.It was a very focused gaze, in his pupils, in the color of his eyes, all imprinted with her face, as if his eyes held only her existence. "Then who do you like?" His eyebrows raised slightly, delicate yet gloomy.The girl's heart trembled, and she remained silent.In the next moment, he grabbed her right hand, his mouth enveloping her fingers, sucking, licking, spitting out and sucking in again, repeating the action as if her fingers were his most cherished toy at this moment.Sighing, she said, "No, I haven't liked anyone." As s
"Alright, Vivi, whatever you want, I will give it to you. If you want me to let you go, then I will." He spoke calmly.She was taken aback, finding it hard to believe what she had just heard. He would let her go so easily?But then, his voice continued, "However, I'll only let you go for ten years. After ten years, you must love me and belong to me alone."A faintly seductive smile appeared on the corner of the boy's lips, but his gaze towards her was heavy and lifeless, like a dead sea.Slowly, he lifted his right hand and hooked his little finger with her left hand. "Pinkie promise, unchanging for a hundred years. Vivi, this is what you taught me."She stared at their intertwined fingers, looking at his face so close to hers.Yes, that was something she taught him, the gesture of a promise.And now, he was making a promise to her that they couldn't go back on!While working as a waitress at night, Vivienne overheard Lily, another waitress, mentioning that a notable figure had arrive
The guests, whether standing or sitting, had expressions of disdain, amusement, or pure curiosity. Only one person, with his head lowered, calmly played with his phone as if the scene before him had nothing to do with him.From Vivienne's perspective, she could see the near-perfect profile of the man: a straight nose, jet-black hair falling over his smooth forehead due to his lowered head, and his eyes concealed. Even so, she could still sense that he was an incredibly handsome man.The familiar side profile caused Vivienne's body to stiffen suddenly.The manager beside her said, "Vivienne, quickly serve the guests their drinks."Before Vivienne could respond, the man who had been casually playing with his phone suddenly raised his head and looked in her direction.A refined face, a clean jawline, and the eyes hidden beneath his bangs—beautiful like a blooming white lotus. In the dim light, they seemed to be shrouded in a trance, then transformed into a focused gaze, like a net envelo
"What do you mean?" Before anyone could react, they heard a cracking sound. Along with the sound of bones dislocating, a scream echoed through the private room. The man's right hand was twisted unnaturally, but Asher remained expressionless, fingers still locked at the man's right hand joint.Not only his wrist, but he even broke the bones of the man's fingers. It was cruel and ruthless! As if he was merely doing something ordinary and simple, just like an ordinary person eating or drinking tea.The man screamed in agony, and a few customers who were initially stunned rushed forward, attempting to intervene. However, their persuasion had no effect whatsoever.Vivienne stared in astonishment at Asher. He was still the same as before, capable of displaying such expression and performing ruthless acts.The screams grew fainter, gradually fading away. If he didn't stop soon, the man's condition would likely worsen."That's enough," Vivienne spoke up. Two simple words, but they made Asher,
Vivienne was led out of the private room by Asher, and the manager hurriedly pulled Lily away as well. The remaining people at the table looked at each other in confusion. Some of them sent the man with the broken hand to the hospital, while others engaged in casual conversation."Hey, Caelan, you've been with the Young Master for the longest time. Do you know that girl?" one person asked curiously.Caelan, dressed in military uniform with the insignia of a lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, replied, "I don't know her, but...""But what?" someone prompted."It's nothing," Caelan furrowed his brows slightly and shook his head.What Caelan didn't say was that he had heard rumors before. It was said that Asher had once cared deeply about a girl. Overnight, he destroyed the city's largest nightclub for her. He also took a set of stunningly beautiful photos that caused a sensation. But in the end, he made the woman disappear from his life, forbidding anyone to mention her name, as if she
"Not used to it?" His voice suddenly resonated in the car.She paused for a moment before realizing what he was asking. "Yes, it's not easy. After all, we haven't seen each other in so many years.""Yeah, it's been a long time," his eyelashes flickered, his gaze still fixed firmly on her face. "But every day, I've been thinking about you."Her body stiffened, and she heard him ask again, "What about you? Have you thought of me?"Vivienne didn't know how to respond all of a sudden, and Asher frowned displeasedly. "Seems like you haven't."She remained silent, and he lowered his head, his lips kissing the palm of her right hand as if leaving an imprint.Her palm grew warm.He looked up, a faint smile on his face. "From now on, you can think of me as much as you want because you belong to me, Vivi."His voice was cold and commanding.She belonged to him!She had heard this sentence countless times ten years ago, but she never expected to hear it again after all these years."Asher, I don
The kiss was intense, frantic, and restless. But she clenched her teeth tightly, resisting his intrusion, and struggled with all her might. Suddenly, he raised his right hand and exerted a slight force on her chin. "Ah!" A sensation of pain shot through her as the irresistible strength compelled her to open her mouth. His tongue effortlessly entered her oral cavity, entwining with her small tongue, continuously savoring her saliva as if he wanted to consume her completely. "Mmm, Asher, please don't..." Her broken voice escaped her lips, but her struggles meant nothing to him. It only made it easier for him to conquer her mouth. Her mouth was filled with his breath, and his fingers gripping her chin prevented her from closing it. Saliva trickled from the corner of her mouth, following the line of her jaw. "Don't think about breaking the promise. You can't break it!" he murmured, his tongue licking and sucking the corner of her lips. Gasping for breath, she used all her strength wi
