After showering and putting on our Christmas-themed pajamas, Chris and I hurried downstairs to join the others. That night, we were all wearing the same Christmas-themed pajamas, with the same pattern but different colors. The women wore red pajamas, while the men wore green pajamas. We also wore red Christmas hats.

“Finally, you’re here,” Mark said.

“We’ve all been waiting for you,” Mom said as she carried two large paper boxes filled with salty and sweet popcorn.

“Hmm, I want popcorn,” I said.

“Later. Now help us in the kitchen,” Mom answered. I joined Mom, Anne, and Chloe in the kitchen to prepare dinner. Meanwhile, Alice and the twins were to set the dining table. Chris, Mark, and Jensen set up the living room, which would be used for gift exchange and watching movies together. So, after the gift exchange, we would watch a movie together. We had agreed on the movie a long time ago. Therefore, Mom prepared popcorn, potato chips, and Cokes.

    HannahAfter going to our respective rooms and lying down, I still couldn’t close my eyes. Chris felt the same way.“I’m still scared and shocked. I can’t imagine what would happen if something bad happened to Alice and Jensen,” he said.I hugged him and rested my head on his chest. “Me too. Everything was unexpected. Luckily, that man helped Alice.”“Yes. She must be traumatized. Would you mind keeping her company when you’re not busy? Maybe women can understand each other better,” Chris asked.“Okay. It looks like she’s getting close to Jensen.”“Yes, I saw them holding hands all the way. There is a lesson behind everything,” Chris replied.After that, we were silent, just thinking to ourselves. Destiny is unique and funny. After a tense event, a close relationship was formed. At first, Alice was cold towards us. But on the way home, she rested her head on Jensen’s head, and they held hands. An event connected a broken thread. I don’t know whether I should be grateful or sad because

    Alice Walker“Sister?” I blurted out spontaneously.Jensen turned around and gave me a wink. I understood his signal. Together with the twins, we took a few steps back from him.“Please don’t cause any trouble and leave us alone. If you insist, we’ll call the police,” Jensen said. I didn’t expect him to be so articulate. But that wasn’t what moved me. It was his courage and attitude that amazed me.An unexpected reaction occurred. A group of five teenagers, all tall and well-built, laughed loudly. If I guessed correctly, they were high school students. Probably tenth or eleventh graders.Two of them had acne-covered faces and were slightly overweight. The other three were quite handsome and had athletic bodies like basketball players. However, I didn’t like the look in their eyes. It was a look that wanted to strip me naked. They licked their lips as if they thought I was food they wanted to taste. But I knew what they meant. I had seen eyes like theirs when my mom was hugging two men

  • My Husband's Betrayal   CH 111

    Alice WalkerThat morning, when Ms. Hannah and I met at the villa entrance, I greeted her with an icy stare and attitude. I realized I had made a mistake. But I was only trying to protect myself and my family.I had indeed been rude and hurt her feelings. But I didn’t know her true intentions in pursuing a relationship with my dad. No one knows what’s in another person’s heart. I could only wait and watch her behavior. Grandma would surely tell me the truth.After that unpleasant greeting, I went into my bedroom and lay down. My head hurt, and sadness crept back into my heart. Why did my parents have to divorce? Why was my family different from other families?When I was little, I thought I had a perfect and happy life. I had everything that other people didn’t have. Grandma, Dad, and Mom spoiled me, especially since I was an only child and the heir to the Walkers Company. Of course, everything I needed and wanted was fulfilled.However, Grandma and Dad were quite strict and disciplin

    HannahSince we had bought premium tickets at the carnival entrance, we could go straight onto the Ferris wheel. All the cabins were full, and the reason for our mischievous idea was that I noticed each cabin was very enclosed, like a small room that provided complete privacy for each passenger.Before entering the cabin, Chris bought two large Cokes, a large cup of popcorn, and French fries. After entering the cabin, we sat close to each other, leaning back in our seats without talking, just staring at the night sky decorated with many stars.“The sky is so beautiful,” I said.“Do you like this vacation?” Chris asked.“Yes. I’ve never been on vacation to a villa, soaked in a hot spring, or gone to a carnival, tried all the rides, and bought lots of food. Because my mother had little money, we prioritized the important things first. Vacations, carnivals, and snacks were just secondary needs that didn’t have to be fulfilled. To be honest, my childhood wasn’t very pleasant. I rarely tra

    Hannah“Sorry to hear that. I didn’t know you had a tough childhood,” Alice said. Her tone was empathetic.“Thank you. Because my mom worked two jobs, I was to cook, while my big brother was to clean the house and put the laundry in the washing machine. I saw my mom when the sun had already set. She would come home, take a shower, eat, say hello to us briefly, kiss us on the forehead, and then go to bed. The next morning, I would prepare breakfast. That routine continued until we grew up and could support ourselves.”“What happened next?” she asked curiously.“Once our family’s financial situation stabilized, my mom only took one job. My big brother moved to Sunnyville to study and work. Luckily, he got a scholarship. I studied at Riverford and still live with my mom. Besides studying, I also worked part-time at a fast-food restaurant every afternoon until evening, five days a week. I used the weekends to sleep in, read books, and go out with my best friend, April. I didn’t expect tha
