MasukElise was forcefully yanked out of the car and thrown onto the dirty soil. She quickly stood up, eyes darting left and right, looking for a place to hide or run."Come here! Don't think about running," he pulled out a gun.A real gun! Elise gulped as fear slithered down her back, wrapping around her limbs.She slowly approached, praying and hoping that her brothers would get to her location as soon as possible."First, I'm going to fuck you and see what you got that made Ellison King and Damien D'Augstino so in love with you. Then I'll finish you. You can die on my cock for all that matters. Hahaha!" The man laughed.Hearing such words made her feel disgusted and nauseous."What's your name?" Elise asked, forcing herself to keep calm."Why ask and try to gather evidence when you're dying?""I just want to..." Elise thought of a ridiculous lie. "Want to know your name so that I can moan it,"Elise felt like puking and punching herself in the face for saying this. But this was for her s
"Kayden is Kayden. You're you. I'll talk to my brothers to stop setting us up. I think they didn't get the message that I don't really want to get into a relationship. Goodbye, Mr. D'Augstino," Elise hailed a cab and got in without looking back.She addressed him by his surname, putting distance between them.Damien watched as the cab disappeared down the lane. A sigh slipped from his lips."Elise, you have no idea how long I've waited for you," Damien lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.Meanwhile, in the cab, Elise sent angry messages to all her brothers in the group chat, telling them not to set her up with any men.Ellison: Dad and our Stepmom would.Edward: Come on. He's better than Kayden, that jerk.Donovan: I'm serious. We didn't tell him where you were, and we didn't initiate anything. It was he himself who approached you in the first place. Don't you remember? We only thought that it was a good way for you to be with someone new.Nikolai: Yeah, Don's right.Ellison: W
Damien took her hand, leading her onto the dance floor. She was a fast learner. Soon, she could keep up with his rhythm and speed, synchronizing wonderfully with him. Elise was surprised that he could dance too. She had too much fun relaxing and dancing that she forgot she wanted to reject him.The following days, Damien would always come and take her out. His real purpose was to make her less stressed and release the tension in her body. Because of her strict schedule and work routine, Elise often had little time for herself.She needed to catch up with her life and what she had lost during those three years. Elise couldn't help taking an extra look at Damien whenever he came to pick her up.Meanwhile, Kayden saw the photos online. The veins on his forehead threatened to burst as he saw them acting lovey-dovey. Unconsciously, he crumpled a document in his hand."Sir? Sir?"Kayden snapped out of his thoughts."What is it?""You're..." Jackson pointed to the document in his hand, "Dest
Seeing that Liam hadn't come to bother her, Elise was pleased. Nathan didn't turn up either after the rejection. She didn't mean to be harsh, but she had to.Now, it was two down, one to go. And that one was leaning against a car, the sun casting an otherworldly orange glow on his face. Damien was... hot. Elise had to admit that even though she didn't want to."You're here," he turned to gaze at her, his eyes deep and mysterious."Hmm,""Hop in," he gestured with his chin.Elise got in as he opened the door for her like a gentleman. She racked her brain for a way to reject him. Amongst the men, he seemed like the hardest to chase off."Where are we going?" she asked."A place you'll like," he replied, acting mysterious.Elise and Damien were walking side by side when they crossed paths with Maria and her friends.Maria's eyes flashed with malice as she crossed her arms, approaching Elise."So you're cheating on Ellison with this man?" Maria scanned Damien from head to toe, snickering.
"Elise, Nathan is looking for you. Out of them all, he's the most sensible and gentle. He's not a playboy. I heard he has never dated before," Penelope told Elise early in the morning."Don't suggest anything," Elise rolled her eyes. "I know. Just saying," Penelope shrugged.Elise went down to see Nathan. He was wearing a grey suit and glasses, making him look inexplicably handsome and stunning."Elise," His eyes seemed to brighten upon seeing her."Good morning, Nathan. State your business," Elise said, radiating coldness."Elise..."Nathan wanted to tell her, pour out his heart to her, say all those things he had hidden since two years ago.Nathan and Liam always frequented Kayden's office and his house. During those times, Nathan accidentally spotted Elise folding Kayden's clothes with a smile, doing housework and cooking. Sometimes, he witnessed her humming to herself and dancing to some music. But he always watched from a distance, afraid that if he stepped in, she'd stop danci
"KTV. Let out all those frustrations," Nathan said.Liam sang and sang, bellowing like a donkey, letting out all of his sorrows. He drank and sang 'Total Eclipse of My Heart' out of tune.Nathan watched him as sorrow flashed across his eyes and he gripped his thigh, thinking of a certain woman he met two years ago.Every day, Roger would send Kayden photos and videos of Liam, Nathan, and Damien accompanying Elise, having lunch, walking side by side. There were even instances where she would smile at them.What the hell were Liam and Nathan doing with her? And his rival, Damien D'Augstino...The more Kayden spied on her, the more curious he became about her. He kept trying to find her real identity, only to hit a dead end every time.He found Liam and Nathan at the KTV. Both of them were drunk and singing at the top of their lungs without a care. The reason Kayden was here was that one of the photos Roger gave him showed Liam gripping Elise's hands tightly, his expression frantic.He w
At that time, Jessica purposely moaned extra loud to get Elise's attention. She wanted to show off how good Kayden made her feel. Back when Elise was still obsessed with Kayden, she never dared to retort when the Andersons humiliated her because she didn't want to make things hard for Kayden. She
All the eyes of the staff fell on Elise. Ava looked around but didn't see anything or anyone looking like a manager. Until she noticed that all the staff were looking in one direction.Elise? She was the manager?! How was that possible?"You? The manager? Can you even manage a h
Seems like he must go to Massachusetts if he wanted to know more about her. Then Kayden noticed Jackson giving him a funny look. "What are you looking at?" He narrowed his eyes at him. "Sir, are you interested in Miss Elise?" Jackson asked, hiding his smile. "No. I'm just interested in her
"What is this?" Elise stared at the documents placed on her desk. The large words printed in bold seemed like an ominous sign: DIVORCE AGREEMENT."The divorce papers. Don't forget how you married into my family, Elise Thatcher," Kayden Anderson said coldly, his dark eyes seemed to be assessing her.
