Auteur: Ink the Seventh
The bathroom door opened with a click.

Sierra opened the messaging app, planning to delete any reply from Dr. Smith as soon as it came in so John wouldn't see it. If he caught her holding his phone, so be it.

She hadn't expected the top of the chat to show a message from Pamela instead.

[John, are you asleep? I'm feeling a little sick.]

Her fingers tightened around the phone. She was about to toss it back onto the bed when it was taken from her hand.

John took it from her. "If you want to

    Cedric's expression slowly returned to normal as he listened to Nathan's threats. "Is it, now?"Nathan's presence was intimidating. "You know it best, don't you? You had a taste of it.""I'm getting old, so my memory isn't what it used to be," Cedric said. "All I know is that you can't do whatever you want now the way you used to.""And you know that too?" Nathan stayed unnervingly calm."Back then, you and Anna were unbeatable. No matter what I did, the two of you always found a way to handle it." As Cedric spoke, he glanced toward Sierra and Anna. "But things are different now. You have weak spots."Nathan knew exactly what he meant. "You mean Sierra.""Not just Sierra. Anna too." Cedric did not mind saying it outright. "I heard she spent years lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Is she still as capable as she used to be, I wonder?"Nathan answered plainly. "No."Cedric almost chuckled, "Then that...""But she crushing you is still more than enough," Nathan cut in.Cedric

    "John isn't like us." Charlie had interacted with John before and seen it for himself, so he did not agree with Cedric's conclusion. "He really sees Sierra as part of his life."Cedric let out a quiet laugh. "You're talking about love?"Charlie did not answer. He knew Cedric would laugh at him if he said it out loud. In their world, profit came first. Most families raised their children to put interests ahead of feelings."You saw how much Anna and Nathan loved each other back then, didn't you?" Cedric didn't believe a man in John's position could love someone forever. "They loved each other so much, didn't they? And how did that end?"Charlie pressed his lips and said nothing. Those two had gone their separate ways. One never married again, while the other left for good."Feelings are the most fragile thing in the world." Cedric stirred the coffee in front of him. "John loves Sierra because he hasn't gotten tired of her yet. You know what men are like, don't you?"Charlie was st

    Marcus gave Tony a look, and Sierra gave him the same one.Tony froze before explaining, "What I mean is, he's a director at Lynch Group. What kind of business would bring him to a hospital? I never heard of Lynch Group having any business in medicine."Sierra watched him for a moment without saying a word. As long as the people she hired did not hurt her and break the law, they could be as weird as they wanted. "You can run after him and ask. Maybe you'll get an exclusive interview."Tony blinked.Marcus blinked too.They both turned to look at her at the same time.Tony even turned to Marcus and spoke right in front of Sierra. "Do you think the Miss knows how to throw shade now?""That isn't throwing shade. It's growth," Marcus said.Tony closed his eyes. How did Marcus manage to tie everything back to growth?Sierra stopped listening to their nonsense and took Marcus with her to handle her business. Tony, knowing where he belonged, stayed in the car and waited.Meanwhile,

    "It was probably better for us not to lose them back there," Tony said to Sierra as they got close to the hospital. He had been fooling around so long that even he had let his guard down.Sierra looked puzzled, and so did Marcus."We weren't doing anything top secret anyway," Tony said, unusually serious. "If they wanted to follow us, we should have let them. I have good reflexes and my driving is top-notch anyway. I could've kept both of you safe no matter what they do."Sierra thought it over. It was just as Tony had said."Now they all know you have a bodyguard with great driving skills. They probably won't waste time on that again. They'll switch to something else after this most likely," Tony said like it had already happened.Sierra and Marcus exchanged a glance with each other and came to the same conclusion. He was taking the long way around to praise himself again. What he had shown earlier was nowhere near enough to surprise anyone. Even taxi drivers in Harbor City a

    "A security company only really asks for a few things from its employees. No criminal record, good combat skills, and a strong sense of duty." Marcus clearly saw himself as the company's best hire when he talked to Tony about it. "I got in after taking on ten men by myself."Tony fell silent. That did sound like there was nothing wrong with it. A bodyguard like him who was skilled and responsible would be in demand anywhere.Marcus then asked, "What about you?""Obviously, I got with the power of exceptional intelligence," Tony said naturally. "You don't think everyone gets by on brute force like you, do you?"Marcus said flatly, "Got it. You got in through connections."Tony gave Marcus a look.Trying to save his dignity, he added, "We specialize in different things.""Right," Marcus said expressionlessly."My mind works better than yours," Tony said."That still doesn't change the fact that you can't fight," Tony said in a matter-of-factly tone.Tony gritted his teeth.He

    "She's getting suspicious now," Marcus said in a serious tone regarding Sierra."Isn't that normal?" Tony was calm, thinking Marcus was overreacting about it. "It would be a problem if she wasn't."Marcus stared at him."I wasn't wrong," Tony said.Marcus then brought up something else even in the middle of talking about something so serious. "You were disrespectful to the Miss. I'm reporting you to her.""How childish can you be?" Tony was especially quick with his sharp tongue. "You're a grown man. Why are you still complaining like a kid? Can you please handle it like an adult?""Alright," Marcus said without hesitation.The next second, he got up and walked toward him.Tony froze.Facing Marcus's stiff, intimidating presence, his composure finally cracked. "What are you doing? I'm the bodyguard, driver, and secretary now. If anything happens to me, she'll definitely... Argh!"Tony cried out in pain as Marcus grabbed him in one clean submission move. He was fast and effici

    Pamela suddenly felt a desperate need for a clear answer. "John.""Speak," John said, looking at her."After you and Sierra finalize the divorce, will you marry me?" Pamela asked.Her heart was pounding, not from excitement, but from the unease and fear of the answer she didn't want to get.Jo

    "It's fine," Sierra tried to refuse Mr. Smith.Alone, she had no way to resist a room full of people urging her on. In the end, despite all her reluctance, she was pushed into the seat beside the host, where every senior executive treated her with unusual politeness.Sierra felt as if she were s

    Pamela instinctively pulled John's sleeve and tried to calm him down. "Why not just let it go? It's not a big deal. She doesn't need to apologize. Besides, she didn't do it on purpose.""It doesn't matter whether she meant it or not. The point is that you got hurt," John's tone was cold and ruthl

    John reached out and took the glass from Sierra's hand.She instinctively drew back. "What are you doing?""I want to check whether it is wine or plain water you just switched in," John said.His warm fingertips brushed against her slender hand as he closed over the glass. The brief contact made
