ログイン“I, the heiress of Burke industries was reduced to living the life of a lowly prostitute” Emile’s sobs became more heartbreaking “By day, a tool to vent his anger and by night, a tool to douse his sexual needs. In society, I became a joke, a notorious woman who used despicable means to steal a husband but incapable of keeping him; who was not even worth mentioning in front of an evening partner of my husband.”
“I had to stop work and cut-off contacts
Night Wing and Abbey had planned for a small wedding. Night Wing had no living relatives, at least none that he knew of, and Abbey had cut ties with her family long time ago, even before she was an adult, after they abandoned her at an orphanage following her parents’ passing.The plans had been perfect on paper- a small, simple affair. But reality had other ideas. The only thing that remained unchanged was the cathedral wedding. It had been Abbey’s dream, ever since she was a little girl.The cathedral chosen for the ceremony was the one the Walters had attended ever since Adam moved his family here. Having been Chris’s shadow since the day they met, it was the only church Night Wing knew, was part of, and so the choice had been easy.Abbey’s original plan was to get ready from Emile’s place, Rose Villa. However, the arrival of the Burkes once again changed things.“My dear girl, the bride has to be escorted to the church from her home, not the groom’s place,” Agnes insisted.Abbey w

Life slipped back into its familiar rhythm.Chris Jnr and Emm, along with their ever-present little tail, kept the entire household on its toes... decorating, re-decorating, and transforming their room into what they insisted was a “properly baby-friendly space.” Each new idea somehow demanded undoing the last, and the constant cycle drove everyone to the brink of madness.Until finally… Chris packed the trio off to Devil Island for training.“Finally… some peace. And my guilty pleasures.” Emile sighed contentedly, sinking into the couch as she unwrapped a bar of chocolate.Abbey arched a brow, glancing up from her tablet. She and Night Wing were knee-deep in wedding planning. Pulling everything together within a month was no easy feat… but at least neither of them had relatives hovering over their shoulders, offering opinions they didn’t ask for.A small mercy.“Those two have been driving me crazy,” Emile continued between bites, her tone light, her eyes bright. “Not allowed to eat
Every day was the same, monotonous and dull like the cold prison itself. But today was different.The door opened with a dull metallic click… in the morning, out of schedule.Daniel didn’t look up. He wasn’t interested. There was nothing left for him to look forward to.In the beginning, there had been Grandpa Holston’s visits to look forward to…Then, he clung to the hope that Emile and the kids would come, even if only to give the old man face…However, after waiting for a week, that hope died quietly. Because deep down he couldn’t blame them… he knew what he had done, even if he didn’t want to admit it.But someone had to take the blame…It had to be Chris…He must have stopped them.“Visitors...” The officer rattled his baton against the metal bars “Fifteen minutes. Move, unless you want to forfeit.”“For me??” Daniel shot to his feet, eyes widening in disbelief.The officer cocked his brow without answering, his answer evident in his expression.Daniel didn’t bother to tidy himself
“I understand.” Ron stood up; he felt disappointed even though he knew the outcome. He looked at Chris “I don’t blame you. I would do the same if I were in your shoes.”‘Would he? Would he even have the magnanimity to invite the person inside?’ The thought came uninvited. His face paled in shame.“Hymph!” Little treasure hmphed folding her arms across her chests; she looked like a puffer fish, her face puffed up and red in anger. However, Chris intervened before the little demon princess could throw a tantrum.He would have chosen silence; that was his norm. He never felt the need to explain himself to anyone other than his wife and family. But they never needed one.The only reason he intervened was his little firecracker. There were some battles that he didn’t want his kids to be tainted by, and this was one of them.Chris’s lips curled in mockery, as he said mildly, “I am not sure what you understand…”That was all. No raised voice. No edge.And yet, Ron felt it land harder than an
“Boss, there is a Mr Humphrey at the door, requesting a meeting.” Jeffrey announced curling his lips, despite trying to hide his annoyance.‘When would these flies stop buzzing around his boss’s head? How big an offense would it be if he squished them, himself without the boss’s knowledge?’Chris didn’t even look up, just waved his hand.That was enough.Jeffrey inclined his head, ‘he had expected this outcome.’He led Mr Humphrey to the formal lounge, the space reserved for entertaining guests, for conversations that were not business related. His face a mask of respectful indifference regardless of his personal feelings.Ron stepped in with a stiffness he couldn’t quite mask. He wasn’t comfortable being here, but he couldn’t refuse Grandpa Holston.He knew that none of them had the right to make any requests of Chris and Emile. Every step he took into this house only reinforced it. Still, a promise was a promise. So, he came anyway.Shamelessly.He was prepared to be kicked out the
“Where are you taking me?” Neil asked with feigned irritation as Marcus led his through an overgrown grassy forest area which was located behind the prestigious school.“Aha….” Neil kept on with his theatrics as he feigned an enlightened expression “Are you going to demand entry to the school under t
Mu Shuayong accepted defeat graciously by bowing according to his etiquette and shaking hands, respecting his opponent’s etiquette; his eyes filled with stars as he looked at the man in front of him. His voice was filled with respect as he spoke “That was well played… worthy of being the Night Lord’
At the same time, the demon emperor whom Emile was reminiscing about was preparing to land in the private airspace of the President of China. Night Rider had just received orders from the air strip commandoes for landing and was busy giving his crew instructions while Night Blaster was skilfully pil
“Like what you see?” Night Blade taunted with his arrogant smirk as stood next to Mu Shuayong, enjoying the undisguised dumbfounded expression on his face.“Are you serious?” Mu Shuayong whispered, still unable to comprehend that the legendary Night Lord would be humble enough to camp in the wildern
