The aroma of bone broth rose, I put some coriander leaves and pepper in it, then stirred it up. The taste was not bad, I happily scooped the soup into a bowl. Kenelm is running indoors and playing with the dog we bought him last week."Dominic, Kenelm, it's time for lunch."I called out to them softly, Dominic came out of the study, picked up Kenelm and made fun of him, and then we sat down to dinner.It has been six months since the shipwreck, people are spreading a lot of rumors regarding it. But no one knows the truth.At that time, Dominic asked me if I believed him, then he dragged me into the sea. I really thought I was dead, unexpectedly, when I woke up, I was lying in a clean room.Dominic lay in the bed next to him and was bandaged by the doctor. Many others were also saved. It turned out that Dominic's father Donald soon received his son's news and drove a giant submarine. All the people who jumped into the water were brought into the submarine by the Arnold family subordina
The very next day, the entire media covered the news regarding Kaylin Joan's past. Videotapes of her bullying her sister, Esther Joan, have sex with multiple men, even with other people's husbands. There are tapes so rare that Kaylin himself may not know it exists.After that, a series of posts accused Kaylin of living a fake life, disdain for fans, and brazen.It seems that all public opinion is pointed at Kaylin. Right now, at Kaylin's house, she was frantically smashing things, roaring like a madman."Who? Who harmed me? I knew right away that when that bastard Esther returned, misfortune would find me again."Kaylin bit her lip, scratched her head, and threw a ceramic vase at the door. Baldric, who was standing outside, heard this and quietly backed away. Kaylin had been so mad for several hours, he dared not enter the room. He knew Esther was forever an existence that made Kaylin insecure.After throwing everything in the room for a while, Kaylin angrily grabbed her phone and mad
Early in the morning, Malibu Academy was noisier than usual. Because, today is admission day for new students.Malibu Academy is known as the most famous and prestigious talent training academy. All students of Malibu Academy come from noble families.Among the faculties of Malibu Academy, the ballet faculty is always the one that people admire the most. That's why, at the entrance of the ballet faculty, there were a lot of people standing around."Is it that girl?""Yeah, it's her, I heard she's the one who got a special offer from the principal to the ballet faculty.""The special one? Then her talent must be remarkable."There were whispers of gossip. They are talking about me. I heard it all, but kept a poker face and stared at the dance teacher. Because I'm actually quite nervous."Esther Joan.""Yes. I'm here."The attendance teacher shouted my name, and in response, I stood up. Everyone looked at me with a weird look, like I'd just done something stupid.I blushed and sat down,
I walk on the street, remembering the sweet days with Baldric. Baldric Herrington is the perfect boyfriend I can imagine, at least he used to be.Baldric Herrington is the only son of the Herrington family, one of the large and noble families that owns many media companies.Not only does he have a great family background, but he also has an extremely attractive appearance. Baldric is tall and bright, though, he has a rather bad guy vibe.However, all of the above reasons do not make me love Baldric. What really made me determined to be with him for over 2 years was the way he treated me. He is attentive, gentle, and often takes care of me. It was his meticulousness and sweetness that made me fall in love with him. He was my first love, and I thought he would be the last.However, when I fell in love, I gradually felt that something was not right.Baldric gradually grew cold towards me. He no longer cares and asks me as often as before.At first, I assumed it was because I was too blan
"Okay, that's enough."Mr. Curtis spoke up. He looked at his wife for a few seconds, and it seemed that Ernesta was frightened by her husband's warning gaze. I saw her biting her red lips lightly and clutching at the hem of her skirt, slowly turning away and not looking at me anymore."The funeral will be held tomorrow. Juliet Joan, please call the funeral home to prepare the procedure for cremation."Aunt Juliet and her husband quietly left the room.I stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. It feels like I'm the extra in this family. Finally, I couldn't help but feel the pressure, so I tried asking my father."Father, do I need to prepare anything for my great-grandfather Joan's funeral?""No. You and I have important things to talk about. Ernesta, go out and wait for me." My father coldly ordered."But..." Mrs. Ernesta seemed to want to stay in the room, but she dared not disobey my father. After a few seconds of lingering, she finally let go.Father looked at me for a moment,
I was left at the barn until almost midnight, or more, I guess. The room was dark, with only a small window that helped me guess the time.My whole body is exhausted and tired. My whole body was disheveled from sweat and dirt. The swelling in the ankle seemed to throb again. My phone and bag were stolen, so I couldn't call anyone for help.Both thirsty and hungry, I became exhausted. No one in this Joan family cares about me, maybe they're just waiting for me to give up and beg them. However, I have made up my mind, I will not sign that property transfer paper. I also want to be selfish for myself, and for my poor mother.Mom is waiting for me at home, she must be very worried.My mother, Rowan Ambar, was an outstanding ballerina. Her background is not really good, so she always aspires to fall in love with a talented and rich man. And indeed she found the man she longed for. My mother gave her love and her body to my father, but what she received in return was abandonment, contempt,
Perhaps because of the effects of alcohol, my body was also lightheaded and out of control. I couldn't see this man's face and body clearly, but somehow I still had the feeling that he was strangely attractive."Girl, I know you hear what I say." The man leaned close to my ear and whispered.I frowned slightly and moved my body. It seemed he took it as a response from me, so he continued speaking."I'm a businessman, so I'm always concerned with losses and profits. You sneaked in here and made me lose an evening of rest. So, you need to compensate me proportionately for what I lost.""Compensation... what?" I woke up a little, and whispered back."You."I heard the sound of his belt being undone. Looks like he's stripping his clothes. I slowly opened my eyes, this time, I got a better look at him. A tall man... very tall... he wears a black suit... now he wears nothing... very nice and muscular body. I guess he must have been working out regularly. I wish I could see this man's face c
The bright light in my eyes woke me up from my long sleep. My mind was blank and completely in a state of confusion. I opened my eyes slightly, blinked a few times, then observed everything around me. A rather luxurious room, the mattress is soft, the curtains are half ajar.My body ached as if I had just been through a terrible fight, just twisting my body makes me feel tired."What's this?"I pulled up the blanket and found myself naked, a few red hickeys that made my mind even more chaotic. Just before I could get up, I heard running water in the bathroom. Is someone else in this room too?I fell into a panic and didn't know what to do. This is the first time I've been in this weird situation. I frantically searched for my underwear but couldn't find it, instead a new set of clothes was placed at the end of the bed.Without thinking much, I grabbed the suit and hurriedly put it on. Unfortunately, before he could finish dressing, the person in the bathroom stepped out.In my life, t
