Chapter 4. It Gets Worse

Sunny was so frustrated. Ailee didn't even recognize the man who'd fucked her, and it was even more unbelievable when Ailee said that afterward she'd been in her room with foreign pajamas clinging to her body.

But, seeing how messed up Ailee was made Sunny try to believe her.

"Alright, we'll take care of that damn man later, leave Leyna to me. But what about your dealings with Simon? You hurt his shoulder." Sunny reminded.

Ailee looked down sadly. "He definitely won't renew my contract."

"Hey! That's not what I meant. What if he sues you for injuring his shoulder?"

"I'll just have to testify that it was in self-defense because he tried to harass me," Ailee replied. It honestly didn't matter if she had to deal with Mr. Simon in court, since she was innocent, the only risk was that she would never set foot in showbiz again.

Honestly, being a singer is Ailee's dream since childhood, as a girl who grew up in an orphanage, having a dream is a luxury for her, she has successfully entered the entertainment world, unfortunately there are still many things she has not achieved as a singer, because her name is not well known.

"Are you going to sue him or wait for him to sue you?" Sunny asked.

Ailee was silent for a moment. If she had to choose, Ailee would choose a defensive position, she was good at that rather than being an attacking player. "I don't want to attack first," Ailee finally replied.

On the other side, Aaron sat upright in the living room chair made of Ebony wood. Aaron's sharp eyes stared at the ancient wall clock that showed 12 noon. That stern gaze looked fine at first glance, but no one could tell that there was a tremor of fear in Aaron's eyes. It was uncharacteristic.

Wolf howls could be clearly heard from outside, breaking the silence. The nervousness that Aaron tried to hide by trying not to show any expression began to show a little.

"He's coming." That was the voice that came from Aaron's mind.

And sure enough, shortly after that, there were footsteps entering the room. A well-built man with a cardigan made of bearskin covering the man's pale skin, he entered the room with arrogant steps.

Aaron immediately stood up from his seat, intending to welcome the man's arrival.

"Sit down," said the man.

Aaron obeyed, he had seated himself again at the same time as the man who also seated himself across from Aaron.

"How are you?"

"As you can see. What's up? You asked me to meet here," Aaron replied.

The man in front of Aaron, whose name was Reynard, was already snorting. "You've been dealing with humans for too long," he quipped.

Humans? Of course, because Mr. Reynard was not one of them. He was a werewolf who lived in a different settlement from the humans, a creature believed to be mythical that was Aaron's biological father. He thought Aaron shouldn't be in the human world, however, for some reason, he had to let Aaron live as a human in the human world.

For your information, they were in a villa building near the forest. One might think so, but in reality the villa was deliberately built on the border land. Yes, the border between the human world and 'their' world.

Aaron just gave a brief shrug of his shoulders, the man began to control himself in front of the man he respected.

"Get married." Mr. Reynard was very to the point. Aaron was quite surprised by his father's words.

"Next week, your mate spouse will come to your residence, be nice to her," Mr. Reynard continued without wanting to know Aaron's response.

Aaron was silent for a moment, he should have immediately said yes to his father's words as usual. There was nothing wrong with having a mate. However, the image of Ailee's face suddenly haunted him. Especially when he remembered that she was the victim of his misdirection. There was a strange feeling bubbling up in Aaron's chest.

"How?" Mr. Reynard's stern voice pulled Aaron back to reality, he saw his father's serious face fixed on him.

Aaron nodded slowly. "Fine Dad," Aaron replied finally.

**

It has been a week since the horrific incident, but Ailee has not received any lawsuit from Mr. Simon's side, the man probably thinking that he would be the aggrieved party if the case became public.

During this time, Sunny said that she did not find Leyna anywhere. Ailee also did not renew her contract, this time Ailee is really not part of Gloss Entertainment anymore, it was reinforced by Gloss's statement on their social media account stating that they did not renew the contract with their artist named Zoe Ailee.

Ailee doesn't know whether she should be relieved or not. On the one hand, she really lost the chance to keep her dream, but on the other hand she was relieved that she wouldn't be dealing with that man named Simon anymore.

"How are you doing?"

Ailee jumped when she heard Sunny's voice from behind her, she didn't know when the woman entered her flat, it seemed that Ailee was seriously daydreaming that she didn't hear the door password or the flat door opening.

"Just weak," Ailee replied as she leaned back on the sofa she was sitting on, her gaze already fixed on Sunny who came over to her carrying a fruit basket and sat down next to Ailee.

"I won't renew my contract either, let's find another agency," Sunny said lightly as she pulled an apple out of her fruit basket. "I'll peel it, eat it, you've been in bad shape for the past week." Sunny said as she reached for the fruit knife just out of reach.

"Thank you," Ailee said, honestly grateful to have a friend who always supported her. Maybe it was because they grew up together in an orphanage. To Ailee, Sunny wasn't just her best friend, but her family.

"Eat." Sunny said as she handed Ailee a piece of apple.

Ailee happily accepted it. "You could have continued working there. I don't want you to be blacklisted by the company for being on my side," Ailee said after she chewed and swallowed the apple.

Sunny, who had also tasted the fruit she had brought, shook her head, her mouth still full of the apple she had eaten. "I don't want to work with people like that," Sunny explained after swallowing her food, her hand returning to feed Ailee who looked pale.

"Should we get you checked out at the hospital?" Sunny asked.

Ailee shook her head in response, her arm already reaching for the television remote on the table and turning on the television.

The first thing Ailee saw when the television came on was the familiar face of a man.

"Wow, he's young but he's managed to become the leader of a giant company like the Ardolph Group," Sunny said as she stuffed a piece of apple into her own mouth.

Ailee choked on her own food. There was no mistaking it, the man on the television was the man who had fucked her that night! The asshole who had taken away her chastity.

Sunny quickly grabbed a glass and filled it with mineral water and handed it to Ailee who was still struggling with a cough.

Ailee's head was sore and dizzy, and she drank the drink Sunny gave her greedily.

"What's wrong?" asked Sunny when she saw that Ailee's condition had improved slightly.

Ailee was still trying to catch her breath. Her eyes were back on the television, which was showing a pale man's face with the headline 'The Successful Journey of Aaron Alison Louvin, Ardolph Group's Young CEO Who Shook the World'.

Ailee was just about to swear, but a cramp in her stomach made her cry out. Sunny panicked even more, especially when she saw Ailee's sweaty face and pale complexion.
