LOGINMidnight.The lights in each room had been switched to their nighttime settings. Outside, apart from the guards taking turns watching the entrances and exits, there was hardly a soul left in sight.Danielle played with her phone for a while before going to sleep. She had a habit of sleeping very deeply once she fell asleep. No matter how heavy the rain was, how strong the wind blew, or how loud the noise outside became, it was difficult to wake her.In the room next door, Lily could not sleep. She was nervous, constantly glancing toward the main door. Lily had wrapped herself in a thin blanket, wearing a seductive set of lingerie and drenched in a fragrant perfume. She had even prepared condoms in advance. The moment the billionaire walked in, she was sure she would make it impossible for him to walk back out.Fifteen minutes later.The sound of light footsteps came closer, followed by the soft click of the door closing. The tall silhouette of a man was cast across the floor.Lily was
All day long, Lily had to put on a friendly, flattering face to win Danielle over... All of this effort was merely to earn a chance to meet Lionel. If the billionaire did not hate his stepmother and, by extension, the Kendall family, she would not have had to work this hard.“Lily, thank you so much for today. Thanks to you, I had such a wonderful time. Even the food tasted better. It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to relax and relieve some stress.”“As long as you enjoyed yourself. Next time, I’ll take you somewhere with even better food. Just give me a call, and I’ll be there.”“My car is here, so I’ll head home first. Oh, right. Here, this is for you. When I was changing earlier, I thought this dress looked beautiful on you, so I deliberately bought one just like it for you.”“Oh, thank you.” Lily reluctantly accepted the gift.“Goodbye!” Danielle waved and got into the car.“Goodbye!”Only after Danielle had driven farther away did Lily lower her hand. She narrowed her eye
Upon stepping into the most luxurious shopping mall in Country X, the staff of high-end fashion brands could immediately tell at a glance who the VIP customers were and who deserved their attention and care. Lily was treated like a princess, while Danielle was treated like nothing more than a country bumpkin friend, an accessory tagging along with her.Clearly, Lily could have explained that she was not today's main character, and that Danielle was. But she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being praised to the skies, surrounded, admired, and pampered. It gave her a sense of victory as she deliberately left Danielle neglected.Usually, sales associates were ranked according to their monthly sales performance. Whenever a VIP customer appeared, senior employees, and even the store manager, would compete for the best catch. There was no way a low-level employee struggling at the bottom would get a chance.When she saw that no one was paying any attention to Danielle, the female employee
…At dawn, a new day began.A thin layer of mist covered the scenery. Two little birds chirped merrily on a tree branch, then began grooming each other, while the bright red flowers continued to bloom despite having just weathered the storm.The billionaire had left for the airport early that morning on a business trip to Hong Kong. The enormous bed was now occupied by Danielle alone.She woke up feeling refreshed, leisurely took a shower, and changed into a simpler outfit.“Miss, breakfast is ready…”“Thank you.”After showering, Danielle sat down for breakfast. Suddenly, she noticed a black card and a VIP fashion shopping card placed on the table.The young maid explained, “The billionaire told us to give these to you.”“Does he want me to go shopping?”“Of course, Miss. The billionaire said you should learn how to dress up more so you can match him. You can buy some makeup or younger-looking clothes, whatever you like. After all, you're getting older. Don't embarrass him.”The bill
3 a.m.The billionaire's mansion was immersed in silence when a loud scream suddenly rang out."Ah! Ah! Ah!"Danielle covered her chest with her hands."Billionaire, what are you doing in my bathroom? You have your own bathroom too, don't you?"Danielle panicked when she saw Lionel barge in without even asking for permission, right when she was soaking in the bathtub and, of course, completely naked.Lionel casually began taking off his clothes. Good heavens, the impressive bulge between his legs was already impossible to hide. She had no idea when he had become aroused. It seemed that he really liked Danielle because the moment he saw her, his desire only grew stronger.The billionaire curled his lips into a suggestive smile."Why are you covering yourself? It's not as if I've never seen your body before... And it seems you've gotten thinner lately. Your breasts look smaller too. I guess I'll have to check for myself.""Don't! Don't come over here!"Danielle kept splashing water at h
At 2 a.m., the birthday party had come to an end, and hundreds of guests had almost all left. Everyone had family members waiting to pick them up. Because her feet hurt, Danielle had to take off her high heels and carry them in her hands. She obediently stood waiting for the billionaire in the light rain for more than half an hour, her whole body trembling from the cold.From a distance, the Kendall twins had been watching Danielle from inside their car.While touching up her lipstick, Olivia said, “Let's go home... I told you not to waste your time approaching her. That old woman is just the billionaire's plaything. He'll throw her away once he gets bored. You saw it yourself. The billionaire can't even be bothered to come pick her up.”After thinking it over for a while, Lily still decided to bet everything on this pawn. She believed Danielle would help her get closer to the billionaire.“Jonny, just drive over there and pick her up.” Lily patted the driver's shoulder.“Yes, Miss!”
Danielle’s family frequently borrowed money from a billionaire whose very name struck fear into anyone who heard it, Lord Lionel Rick. The Lionel family had two sons, Lionel Rick and Lionel Carole, born to the same father but different mothers. Mr. Lionel favored the younger son of his second wife
“Quinn… Why is it you? Why would you do this to me?”Frank Tino having a mistress was no great secret, because Danielle had suspected him for a long time. Every time he came home from work, he reeked of perfume, there were red lipstick stains on his collar, and even his messages were password-prote
It took a full ten years for Danielle to truly understand the human heart, a lesson far too costly. The moment she dragged her suitcase out of her husband’s house, a crowd of neighbors had already gathered outside, eager to watch. Some immediately mocked her, while others showed pity. Once compared
“Let’s get a divorce!”Today was an unlucky day.The news that Danielle’s family had gone bankrupt had only come out a few days ago, and her husband’s family was already eager to cut all ties. Danielle, once a daughter-in-law from a wealthy background, married to her high school first love, living
