Author:Shi Er Hua My boyfriend and I started from scratch and we had been in love for ten years.However, he told me that he wanted to marry his first love.1Outside, the torrential rain had stopped. Yet, my boyfriend, Baron Doyle, hadn't replied to my message.Jim Carroll, the assistant of the company, secretly told me that Baron had bought a pair of DR diamond rings and that he was busy decorating the proposal scene in the past two days."It's raining cats and dogs today. He is supposed to come home first!"I sat in front of the dressing table and toweled my wet hair. Although I was complaining, I couldn't suppress the sweetness in my heart when I thought that Baron would propose to me after he came back.We had been in love for ten years, and this unromantic man was finally somewhat enlightened.When I was lost in thought, my phone on the table kept buzzing. I turned it on and saw my colleagues congratulating me in the company chat group.Did the news filter through?
6So I became a major shareholder in Jaiden's company.There was no need for me to worry about the tedious procedures. A week after signing the contract, Jaiden put all the completed formalities on my desk."What do you think, Shirley? Do you like it?" Jaiden showed me the office he had arranged for me for several days.It was my favorite single-color style, simple and elegant.I nodded, but my gaze fixed on the small table at the door. "What do you mean? Is it prepared for my future secretary?""This is for me," replied Jaiden naturally.I leaned against the desk and sized him up with my arms crossed over my chest. "What do you mean by sitting in my office, Mr. Cooper?"All of a sudden, Jaiden bent over and leaned against me. He looked at me with his deep eyes. "Save time. It's easy for us to have discussions."I was speechless.The sun shone on the two seemingly intertwined shadows on the ground.At one glance, I took a step back immediately.I felt a little hot."You're
10Against the street lamp, Jaiden looked handsome with red eyes and an extremely indifferent expression."Jaiden, when did you come here?"I smiled and raised my hand. What responded to me was only his cold face.He turned around and left, leaving no time for me to catch up with him.I had known Jaiden for a long time, but he had never been angry with me.I didn't expect him to be like this.I was confused.What was wrong with him?That night, I still didn't feel sleepy after taking a shower.It was not because of Baron, who had lost everything, but because of Jaiden's abnormal behavior.Everything was fine before we got off work today. We even discussed the site of team building on the weekend together.He was no longer a teenager. How could he get angry with me so easily?I switched on my phone, wondering if I should send him a message.Ding!The doorbell rang.I glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was about 1 a.m.I was on the alert and I grabbed the
Author:Feng Hua Xue Yue 1"Let's get divorced!"I could clearly see a flash of panic in Steven Yandell's eyes when I threw the divorce settlement agreement to him.The next second, he tore the agreement to pieces and hugged me. "Honey, what did I do badly? Tell me, and I'll change. Let's not divorce, okay?"I pried away Steven's hand around my waist and said nonchalantly, "Some mistakes can be corrected, but some are just..."I didn't complete my sentence, but Steven immediately understood.He grabbed my wrist and said anxiously, "Honey, listen to me. At that time, I thought of going to the hospital to accompany you, but my mother—""Enough!" I shook Steven's hand off, interjecting him. "I don't want to hear anything about our past. We have nothing to do with each other after the divorce."Nevertheless, Steven didn't give up. "No, I don't agree to the divorce. Honey, think about our sweet moments before. Think about our kid. What about the kid after the divorce? She can't
7The arrival of the police seemed to boast Charlotte's confidence, as she shouted even more vigorously. "Police officers, they seized my son's house and kicked him out. Please arrest them.""Are you the one making a scene here?" the police asked."It's me." Charlotte looked proud as if she took pride in her booming voice."You're disturbing public order. We will need you to come with us.""No. Police officer, you've made a mistake. It's not me you need to arrest. It's these two women who forcibly occupied my son's house. You should take them away.""You are making a lot of loud noises here, which has seriously disturbed public order."Seeing the police insisting on catching her, Charlotte panicked and said, "I didn't make any loud noise. I only want them to return the house to my son. Sir, please judge the situation correctly..."No matter what Charlotte complained, she was taken away by the police. Of course, my mother and I were not spared. We were also taken to the police s
11On this day, my company organized a team-building activity. Considering the current spell of hot weather, we went for white water rafting, a popular activity among young people. It was exhilarating but also high-risk.I was at the end of the line, waiting for my turn to get onto the raft. I was the only one left who hadn't done the rafting yet. I was a little nervous and felt even more scared when I learned I had to be on the raft alone.My colleague waved at me and yelled, "Jacqueline, hurry up..."I braced myself and sat on the raft. I closed my eyes and let the raft take me down the stream. Suddenly, with a loud bang, I was thrown out of the slideway with the raft.The next moment, when I regained consciousness, I was in the hospital. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my mother sitting by the bed with red and swollen eyes."Mom, what's wrong with me?" I asked in a hoarse voice.Seeing me finally awake, my mother wiped her tears and said, "You were thrown out and severely
15Three months later, my body completely recovered. The case of Steven and Winnie was also brought to court. Steven and I sat in the dock again as plaintiff and defendant.In just a few months, Steven and I already went to court three times. It was sad to think about it.This time, I was the plaintiff, and he was the defendant. Winnie was standing next to him. Surprisingly, they didn't hire an attorney. I didn't know whether they had no money or didn't want to waste it.Since there was conclusive evidence, the judge quickly pronounced Steven as the principal offender and Winnie as an accessory. The former was sentenced to ten years imprisonment, and the latter was sentenced to five years imprisonment. Both Steven and Winnie waived their rights to appeal.When they were taken away from the court, Winnie suddenly said she wanted to talk to me. I was surprised for a few seconds before nodding to the police officer who passed the message to me."Jacqueline, I hate you."I said, "I
Author:Jian Jian Tu Zi 1The fence at the edge of the terrace was loose, and Juliette Dalton fell from there.The mansion did not have many stories, and the terrace was only on the fourth floor. It only took a second for her to hit the ground, but it felt like a long time to Juliette. It felt so long that she could clearly see the person pushing her in the moonlight. He calmly stood at the opening of the fence and looked down at her with no expression on his face.It was her husband, Quinton Sullivan, to whom she had been married for less than a year. Soon, he would get a new identity as a widower.It was said that before a person died, their entire life would play out like a movie in their mind. Maybe it was because Juliette had been living foolishly, so she didn't have many memories surfacing. At this time, in addition to the excruciating pain, her mind kept replaying what had happened ten minutes ago until she completely lost consciousness.Tonight would have been a pleasa
