Author: Liu Xiao QianWhen I was 23 years old, my boyfriend, who I had been dating since college, passed away.We even met each other's parents at that time.Last year, when we were traveling, he proposed to me on the top of the mountain.And I said "yes".But he left me in the blink of an eye.After his death, I still lived in our rented house.The house was very big with two stories, and the total area was more than 1,800 square feet. It was empty, but we kept a border collie named Coco, which, with the things left by my boyfriend, gave me a sense of security.Living here would sometimes make me feel that he was still alive.Therefore, no matter how my parents tried to persuade me, I didn't move away.On the day of my 24th birthday, I came back from a business trip and lied to my parents on the phone that I had made an appointment with a friend.After that, I sent a message to the familiar bakery and ordered a small fruit cake for myself.It was my boyfriend's favorite
9Then I hid in the warehouse of convenience store.It was a very warm place.The shopgirl hurriedly called the police.I knew I was safe.The store was several hundred feet away from my house, and there were three or four forks in the road before getting there. In the heavy rain, I thought it was impossible for Oliver to find me.Thinking of this, I felt the warehouse was the warmest place I had ever stayed in.It even made me a little sleepy.However, two minutes later, I heard the welcome greetings from the store again. Someone was coming."I'll get 30 dollars' worth of gas."It was Oliver's voice.He drove a car here!I forgot about it! He could drive after me!The police station was the closest place nearby where one could call the police, so he would definitely come!10"What can I get for you?" the shopgirl asked.I heard Oliver pacing back and forth between the shelves.He was looking for me."Do you have a band-aid?" He fobbed off the shopgirl."Two rows beh
16Oliver turned around, but it was late. Zachary had picked up a golf club and hit his head with it.Oliver fell with a thump.Then, Zachary sat on top of him and raised the club to hit him on the head again and again.Oliver tried to grab Zachary's hand but lost all his strength after suffering two heavy blows.Zackary hadn't stopped the movements of his hand, however.Oliver's expression went stiff as he lay on the ground with his eyes wide open. His head moved sideways with each blow and was soon brought back into place by his neck.It looked as if he were dead.My first instinct was to stop Zachary from killing Oliver.But just as I was about to speak, I paused.I hoped inwardly that Zachary could continue."Bang.""Bang.""Bang."I seemed to be enjoying the sound.However, neither Zachary nor I noticed that Oliver was still holding a knife in his other hand.He hadn't released his grip.I only saw a flash of light.A second later, Zachary groaned and covered his
Author: Tong Tie Si I never thought that one day I would find a boyfriend who was ten years younger than me. He had a good family background, a handsome appearance, and excellent physical strength.But I was a person with a cold and heartless nature, and I was unable to be loyal to someone for long.I swindled his mother, his father, and his money, leaving him with nothing.But he still loved me.In his eyes, I was both a treacherous snake and also an angel.1If there was a downside to having a boyfriend ten years younger than me, it was that my body often felt like it was falling apart, and I had to stay up late.Last night, I checked into a room with Joshua and didn't sleep until late at night. As the sun rose this morning, he blinked his bright eyes at me and said, "I want it."I forced a smile. "Aren't you tired?"He shook his head. "I'm not tired when I see you."I didn't want to disappoint him, but every bone in my body was screaming for no more.Seeing Joshua lean
2Over the next few days, Wendy followed me around every day to shop. She then posted photos on Instagram after our purchases were made.I spent money on Wendy without any hesitation, hoping to attract the man's attention and waiting for him to take the bait.Eventually, the man couldn't contain himself. As he couldn't get through to Wendy on the phone, he came to find her.At the time, I was drinking with some guests when someone mentioned that Wendy had a visitor. I glanced at his back and simply returned to the private room while instructing one of my subordinates to deal with him.The girl spoke to him jealously and exaggeratedly about Wendy's recent situation. "A wealthy man from Hong Kong has taken an interest in her and is generously supporting her. The man is very elegant and handsome, and he also has a very successful business. Wendy is incredibly lucky!"I heard that the man became immensely jealous upon hearing this news.Leaning against the wall with my arms crossed,
4Wendy insistently requested my help to find out what was going to happen to Marcus.I proceeded to inquire and learned that he was currently in detention and would probably be sent to prison for attempted murder.According to reports, he allegedly lifted his wife and threw her out of a window, possibly intending to make it look like she had jumped from the building by herself. Fortunately, a tree was in the way as his wife fell, so she managed to survive the fall.He was extremely rushed and desperate to recover from the financial setback.Unfortunately, the money wasn't rightfully his and was destined to be taken away from him. In fact, the funds were not even owned by his wife. Both of them had stolen it from my father.Unusually, I experienced a few dreamless nights. A few days later, I dressed up to the nines and went to Maria Willis Hospital.Inside the ward, Marcus' wife was lying there, appearing frail and feeble with multiple deep scars marking her face caused by tre
5As I was walking toward Flora Cafe, I got delayed by something. By the time I arrived, the café was in chaos.My mother had Wendy's left cheek in her grasp while slapping her right cheek, screaming, "You've embarrassed me! What kind of impression do you want your father to have of me for raising such a child?"I watched this scene quietly.My mother had hit me in the same way before. Back then, it was because she believed that I had delayed her remarriage, and now she blamed Wendy for the crisis in her marriage.I had been protecting Wendy ever since I got to know her, and I did not want her to suffer in any way because I still had hope.I still hoped that my mother would show some motherly instinct and protect her daughter, even if that daughter was not me. It was better than my mother being a cold monster.`But she still let me down.She cared more about men and her marriage than her own children. All her children were used as pawns just to keep men around, and once the chi
Author: You San He blocked me with a fierce look and said, "So... Does what you said about being with me still hold up?""Of course." I hugged Yorrance Sonic. "I really like you."I heard something falling to the ground with a bang as Yorrance waved to someone behind me. "Mom!"I turned around and saw my husband holding hands with a woman, whom Yorrance called "mom".1I had known for a while that my husband, Jack Aldos, was cheating on me. I also knew that the woman he was with had a 19-year-old son who liked to draw.They said that men prefer younger women, but I couldn't understand why Jack chose to cheat on me with a 38-year-old woman. Maybe he had a special fetish, but that didn't stop me from seeking revenge.I decided to give this pair of adulterers a surprise, and the key was the 19-year-old university student.I went through a lot of effort to bump into Yorrance. Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult because my audacious husband didn't even bother to delete their cha
