Everyone who saw Steven's appearance was shocked and bewildered; their eyes looked at him apprehensively as they let him witness this chaotic scene. "Calliope, can you explain? Why are you here? Why hit my staff?" Steven questioned Calliope, who didn't seem to recognize me yet. But what does he say, "my staff"? What's that supposed to mean? I was startled; maybe Steven is the CEO they mentioned. Liam ran up to him and timidly explained: "Sir, I'm sorry for letting you witness this. I will deal with it quickly." "Why didn't you stop this in the first place? Is everyone standing here a scarecrow?" Steven said angrily. "Liam, did you see other people assaulting your employees without taking action to stop them? No one has the right to look down on my employees, even as a customer. Or things like this often happen here, so you are not too surprised." Liam was afraid to turn pale; his voice was a little shaky: "Not at all, director. This… because Miss Calliope refuses to cooperate, so…
I thought that it would all end here when I said such unintentional words to Steven. But no, he followed me on the bus. It was at rush hour, so the bus was crowded and packed. I swiped my card, then quickly got into the car. However, the bus still hasn't moved because Steven hasn't paid the fare yet. Everyone focused on Steven with irritated eyes. He stared blankly at everyone, not understanding what was going on.At this time, the new driver voiced a reminder:"Do you want to pay with cash or a monthly pass?"Steven seemed to have understood the problem; he glanced at me as if afraid I would disappear and took his wallet from his breast pocket to pay for the bus fare. Steven looks at his wallet and frowns; I can guess his problem.For the first time I saw him lose confidence and awkwardness like that, he stammered: "I currently…have no cash. Can I…swipe with a bank card?"Everyone else was surprised at Steven riding the bus with no cash on him. They laughed at this. As for me, I was
The first time I met Diana, I was captivated by her pure beauty. Although she has many similarities with Calliope, their beauty is different. If Calliope has a sharp, seductive beauty, Diana brings a gentle, sweet, clear, like spring. My heart suddenly fluttered when I looked into those black eyes that shone with a strong desire to live, sparkling like the stars in the galaxy. The galaxy belongs only to me.However, I don't know why I got angry when Charles said she was a prostitute. And she ran away while receiving guests. At that time, I thought it was just a temporary feeling, and I was about to give up. But the earnest pleas and the glimmer of hope in Diana's eyes made it impossible for me to refuse.When I saw the bruises on her body, I thought of Charles's words again, it made me feel uncomfortable, and my anger exploded. I don't understand why I lost control like that. I never thought of myself as rude, but I did terrible things to Diana. Her wretched look made me feel a pang o
I fit in Steven's muscular arms. He was still staring at me as if waiting for my answer. I didn't know how to answer him; every word stuck in my throat. I'm afraid he's a confusing pity with love. He wouldn't have feelings for a girl a little old-fashioned like me. What Steven want is my body, that's all. I'm not confident enough to trust him again."Can you let me go first?" I suggested and took a deep breath to control my emotions.However, he still hugged me tightly, his body close to mine, causing the temperature to rise. He stared at me like he was looking at a treasure, which made me uncomfortable. Every time I move my body a little further away from him, he pulls me closer to him. He smiled gently and said."When you answer me, I'll let you go.""What do I have to say? How many times do I have to tell you this? Our relationship is over." I bit my lip, speaking decisively.Steven took my hand and kissed my injured hand gently; his eyes showed guilt and guilt that made my heart b
I woke up when the light of dawn shone on my face. I reached for my phone on the table to check the time, and it startled me. It is midday now. I moved gently, but my body ached everywhere. It's all because of last night's infatuation.I turned to look at Steven; he was still sleeping soundly, and his face looked very refreshed. I carefully examine his forehead; it seems to have cooled down. Yesterday he was sweating a lot. The memory of last night's passionate affair made my face flush. He was like a beast, licking everywhere in every corner of my body as if gnawing at his favorite food. I didn't think a sick person would bully a healthy person like me. It's not fair.I was about to get out of bed gently, but Steven's arm was around my waist, pulling me into his lap."Since when did you wake up?" I say.He gave me a smug smile, his eyes filled with lust gliding over me. His hand, like magic, touched my soft chest so gently, lovingly, making me gasp."Steven…I…have no strength left,"
Steven phoned someone, and after thirty minutes there were several cars parked in front of my house. Steven opened the door, and they brought in a lot of costumes and expensive jewelry that made me dizzy."Diana, choose whatever you like. Can you go to the party with me today?""I'm what?!" I said with a lack of confidence: "But I've never been to such parties? It's all for people like you. I didn't feel right when I went there." I twisted my hands together because of my self-doubt, starting to get awkward.Steven put his hands on my face and gently said: "It's okay? I went there today as my lover. No one is allowed to look down on me."He didn't wait for me to answer, and he signaled the staff to start choosing my clothes and makeup. His words just made my heart skip a beat. I was both happy and nervous at the same time.I wear the dress that Steven chose for me. I can't deny that he is very good at selecting outfits. Steven previously chose a stunning and sexy dress for me, though i
Steven still holds me tight and pulls me away, not wanting anything to do with Calliope. Yet she still refused to let us go, speaking in an arrogant, sarcastic tone."Are you leaving in such a hurry because you're afraid she'll find out I used to be your ex? Do you need me to remind you of our old memories? Every time we go to a party, we….""Shut up, Calliope!" Steven growled, "Don't make me feel so disgusted about my own past.""Oh, is that so? This time around, I remember it again. Especially when the two of us are in bed." Calliope spoke in a sarcastic tone as if trying to provoke me to misunderstand him.Maybe Calliope still didn't realize that I was Diana, so she purposely said that to annoy Steven. He clenched his hands into fists, his chest rising and falling as if he was holding back his anger.I took Steven's hand to calm him down. He looked down at me, our eyes meeting. I give him a gentle smile, wanting to let Steven know that I trust him completely.I turned to look at Ca
I raised my eyebrows, looking at Calliope. I will not tolerate them insulting me anymore. I realized that, once I became Steven's woman, I was absolutely not allowed to be weak.Calliope clutched the wine glass in her hand; with eyes full of hate, I felt she was going to crush it. The atmosphere between the two of us became increasingly tense. At this moment, I suddenly saw Sharmaine approaching me from afar. I'm not surprised that she's here as well."Don't get attached to a poor person like her, Calliope." Sharmaine mocked me, giving me a fake smile.At first glance, everyone thinks Sharmaine and Calliope have a good sisterly relationship, but in reality, Sharmaine is a venomous snake, a dangerous and dishonest woman. I'm sure Calliope had a grudge against me, constantly fighting with me as part of Sharmaine's plan.Calliope looked at me and said to Sharmaine in a disdainful tone, "That's why she's clinging to Steven, even though he sees her as a stand-in for me.""Let's say I love
