- Crystal's POV -Mark didn't come to school for a whole month after that.I didn't ask around, but I did hear that Mark seemed to have been grounded by his father.Everyone knew that Mark's father was Alpha Arthur, and they guessed that Alpha Arthur must be a very strict and scary person.However, my impression was that he was a soft-spoken, elegant gentleman. Although I hated him for taking away my virginity, I must admit that he was a patient and cultured man.Since that incident, I have been more silent than ever. Wherever I went, I kept my head down and never looked anyone in the eye.My classmates were used to my reticence, and they all thought that my change was due to the public rejection by my mate. No one cared about me.During this period of time, I went to the library after school as usual. I didn't go to see Emily again.But I didn't expect that a month later, Emily would come to me on her own initiative."Emily! What's wrong with you?"Looking at the crying Emily in fron
- Crystal's POV -One of them, with his strong hand, grabbed my arm that Mark was holding on to.I looked at the two bodyguards up close and realized that they were taller and stronger than I thought, so what should I do if they were going to help Mark?Suddenly, the force on my wrist loosened, and my hand was actually released.I looked over in surprise, only to see that both bodyguards were holding Mark's left and right hands, respectively, and actually looked like they were stopping him."Mark, Alpha doesn't want you to bully others."I was stunned. These two men...they weren't arranged to protect Mark, but to monitor him?These two men were just too powerful. The muscles under their clothes looked bigger than even Mark's head.Mark couldn't break away, his face was red with anger."I'm not bullying her! Can't I just talk to my classmates? My dad didn't say I'm not allowed to chat with my classmates!"I saw the two bodyguards turn their attention to me simultaneously, as if inquiri
- Crystal's POV -The memories hidden in the depths were hooked up little by little. On that wild night, there was also such a hand stroking my body, and even penetrating my private parts, stirring my heartbeat.The news video was still playing on the screen, and Alpha Arthur tried out other new weapons.The other weapons were much more violent than the gun. But Alpha Arthur seems to be very familiar with every category of weapon.When he jumped down from the tank, all his wildness was released at that moment, as if the calm and composure earlier were a disguise, and his nature was possessive and dominant.The sunlight wrapped around his whole body. All of our eyes were drawn to Alpha Arthur's sculpted, gorgeous face.He was using a monocular, with his other eye closed, and his thick lashes cast a large dark shadow across his high nose.None of us knew what he saw, and his tightly pursed lips suddenly curled up in a charming smile.The video ends, and everything falls silent. But Alph
- Crystal's POV -Putting the phone down, I realized what a crazy thing I had just done.What did I say? Oh my God, what did I say? How dare I be so bold!But, if I didn't, I wouldn't have the money for the operation.I had no way out.An operation of this magnitude can cost millions. Even if I had the patience to save up slowly, the baby in my belly couldn't wait too long.I didn't wait at the door of the dorm. I knew no one would open the door for me, so I walked down to the bottom of the building.- The Third's POV -Shortly after Crystal's figure disappeared down the hallway, the door of the dorm opened a crack.A head poked out to take a look, then retracted and said, "Hey, that bitch left."The dormitory burst into laughter, and Zara's laughter was particularly loud."Hahahahahaha, that damn poor bastard. She deserves it! She's always against us. This time we just denied her entry. Next time we'll throw her stuff out!"The others laughed along with her, and suddenly one of them
- Crystal's POV -When I heard Arthur's reminder, I realized I was blocking the car door. I blushed and hurriedly got out of the car.Standing next to Arthur, I was as shaky as ever. I didn't even dare to raise my head on the way, just staring at the hem of his shirt.After taking off his suit, Arthur's back looked much more approachable.The dressed-up Arthur who appeared on the news earlier was too perfect.It is only suitable for watching and looking up from afar, not for getting along.Of course, even with just his shirt on, he didn't exactly blend in with the ordinary people. Even with his face blocked, his impressive aura and physique likewise made him stand out far from the rest."Am I intimidating?" Arthur, who was sitting across the table ordering food, asked, "You haven't looked up at me."We were already sitting in the booth, surrounded by silence, nothing but the dulcet sound of violins.It was for this reason that Arthur had taken the mask off his face, and the eye-catchi
- Crystal's POV -I was so anxious that I stood up straight away. How could he suddenly change his mind when he had just promised me?"Can I take the money as a loan from you? I will work to earn money after I graduate..."Arthur shook his head and said, "This is not your business alone. The baby is ours. I can't let you take on everything all by yourself."I was frozen.Arthur's concerns seemed a little different than I had imagined.I had thought that Arthur would be worried that the baby in my belly would damage his reputation. He would have wanted me to get rid of it sooner. But Arthur...Arthur seemed to see my bewilderment and confusion. He steadied his mind and rephrased his words, "I mean, you can't be left alone with such a big deal. I know I have a big unshirkable responsibility in this matter, and I'm not a selfish person. I can't stay out of it.""So, Alpha, what are you going to do?"When I asked this, I subconsciously treated Arthur as a reliable man.Arthur did not answ
- Crystal's POV -Of course, Arthur didn't do that.He just straightened his shirt decently and sat back down in his spot. I kept my side to the car window after that and didn't say another word.The car stopped in front of the college."Go back and get some rest first. I'll call you in a few days when I've thought it over. If you need anything, call me right away, that's my personal number.""Okay." I got out of the car and closed the door.When I turned to walk into the campus, the car didn't drive away instantly but stopped in place for a long time. I didn't hear the sound of the car starting until I was out of sight.It was at this point that I remembered, as an afterthought, that the window glass was specially made to look like a clear mirror from inside the car in the dark.Then Alpha kept staring straight at the car window, and what he saw was not the street scene outside, but...my reflection.I couldn't think straight when I was with Arthur. Now that I am alone, my mind is sud
- Crystal's POV -I was shocked and went over to the railing to look down. There was a car in front of the dorm, but it wasn't the same car as last time. This time the car was an understated black, and the style was plain."Come down, I need to talk to you."Listening to the firm tone on the phone, I knew that Alpha had mostly made a decision, and that decision mattered to my future.My heart couldn't help but be apprehensive."Okay, I'm going down now."At this point, I knew that Arthur's decision would have a significant impact on my life, but I could never have imagined that that impact would actually be that big.I was two meters away from the car when the door opened, and it was the passenger seat."Get in."Arthur's voice came from the driver's seat.I glanced in the back seat in surprise; Arthur was the only one in the whole car, without a driver.I obediently got into the passenger seat and closed the door tightly.There was a faint smell of smoke in the car, which seemed to b
