LOGINChapter 91: The PastThe light from outside slipped through the gap in the curtains and shone into my eyes, waking me up. The corner of my eye was still wet with unshed tears, that pain so real as if I had just gone through it once again myself.I raised my hand to wipe across my damp cheek and let out a soft sigh.“It’s been so long, yet I still can’t forget that past.”I thought I had become much stronger than before, but it seemed that wasn’t true. Only at moments like this did I realize just how weak I was.Perhaps the past I believed had already passed had worn down my soul far more than I had imagined. Sadly, I had been tormented by that pain for an entire lifetime and was given a chance to live again, yet even now I was still groping within that same pain, unable to escape it.I sat up and walked to the mirror. Looking at myself now, I finally realized just how different I had become compared to the past.“That’s right, how could I possibly go through that again?”In this life,
Chapter 90: The Way Lady Dominic Died with PrideI knew how extravagant and absurd the thing I was begging for was. But what if I lived my entire life alone and died alone?At the very least, I wanted to have a child. That child would be my family, the only person in this vast world who would turn toward me.“Please! Please understand my unreasonable request…”I clutched Leo’s shirt and cried until my vision blurred, my breath caught in my throat, the pain suffocating as if I might die right then.Leo looked at me with a surprised and somewhat troubled expression. He helped me to my feet and asked softly, his face thoughtful.“You’re doing this because you want something, aren’t you? I said I would grant any request of yours, but this is a bit difficult.”Leo gently pulled me into his arms and soothed me as I sobbed uncontrollably. The light pat on my back gradually calmed me down.Even though he did not truly like being close to me, Leo had never acted rudely or abandoned me in diffi
Chapter 89: The DreamThat night, I had a dream, a dream I had not seen again for a long time.Five years after marrying Leo, I had become a refined lady of the upper class. The poor, rustic girl who once stepped out of the orphanage seemed to be nothing more than a faint memory.What I gained thanks to the Dominic name was truly far beyond what anyone could imagine. Although I did not receive Leo’s love, I was given all the necessary etiquette training to stand firmly in high society on my own.The hardships of learning all those complicated things before seemed to have been worth it at this very moment.Ella Dominic had become a renowned name in this city, known by everyone. The days of wearing luxurious gowns not only made others admire me but also made me proud of myself.Looking at myself in the mirror, I smiled and wondered.“Is this really me?”It was far too dazzling compared to my timid image in the past.At the age of 27, Ella could sit and enjoy afternoon tea comfortably wi
Chapter 88: Flirting or TeasingLeo rested his chin on his hand and looked at me with a charming gaze, using a deep, husky voice to ask.“I truly think we’re very compatible. Ella, do you want our relationship to change?”Leo whispered by my ear, his breath warm, and I could feel my heart beating wildly.This crazy man!Why was he acting so differently from usual?I tried to keep a calm expression and replied coldly and firmly.“No!”Leo seemed to have expected my answer, so there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he looked even more cunning.Did he know his face was attractive, so he was doing this? Was he deliberately trying to seduce me?Hmph! Even though I didn’t have as much money as him right now, I was still a girl with strong principles! Before I earned a lot of money and became a rich lady, there would be no romance, making money was what mattered.Leo reached out, lifted a strand of my hair, gently kissed it, and said softly.“So decisive? Not even a little hesitation?”
Chapter 87: Seize It by Any MeansAfter listening to the report, Leo smiled and said.“I didn’t expect you to speak so highly of her. That’s not very much like you, is it, Anessa?”Anessa was the type of person who was strict, rigidly principled, and not someone who easily showed admiration or praise for others.In other words, she had been trained by the Dominic family to be loyal only to them, so she would never accept ordinary people approaching her master.Yet after working together for only a few days, Anessa’s attitude toward Ella had changed to this extent, which surprised even Leo.Anessa replied awkwardly.“Well… that’s because she’s truly more capable than I expected.”It was actually a good thing that the secretary team had a favorable view of Ella. It seemed that she really was more capable than Leo had thought.Leo fell silent for a moment before asking again.“She didn’t ask you to do anything else? Just handle that child’s matter?”Anessa nodded in response.Leo was qui
Chapter 86: Fortunately, That Person Was EllaFinn’s warning made Leo stare in astonishment, then burst out laughing while clutching his stomach.Ella married him with a purpose? If that were true, Leo might even feel happy about it.On the contrary, that foolish, cold girl like a block of wood did not even spare him a glance. Besides, if Ella truly had ulterior motives, how could one explain the fact that she agreed to sign that marriage contract with him?Leo smiled, waved his hand, and said.“I’ll take that as your concern for me. But this time, you’re probably wrong. Intuition isn’t always right, is it?”Finn held his head and sighed.“I’m sure I’m not wrong. That girl grew up in an orphanage, and now she has the chance to cling to the only son of the Dominic family. How could she possibly not have other intentions? That sounds ridiculous!”Leo did not reply, only smiling faintly to himself.Rather than saying Ella had impure intentions toward Leo, it would make far more sense to
Chapter 15: They First MetThe reason I agreed to attend today’s party was, of course, not because of Julian Bennett or Dyan’s persuasion. To me, those people held absolutely no meaning at all.The real reason I wanted to come here was because of him, Leo Dominic.Leo Dominic stepped into the banqu

Chapter 30: A Love Like a Fairy TaleFinn Muller continued to look at me with a harmless smile, but his eyes seemed to be observing my every movement.I knew that if I revealed even the slightest flaw, he would immediately grasp the truth about our marriage.Finn smiled and spoke as if asking for m
