Priscilla stepped into a bar, her reality suddenly turned into a nightmare.
She drank herself into a stupor.
She turned over to the stranger beside her and said, sleep with me.
He turned towards her and said, sleeping with me comes with a price.
What price? She replied. I will pay you I have money.
He looked at her and turned away.
She turned and placed a bundle of money in his hand.
He looked at her and knew she was serious.
Priscilla leaned weakly against the window of the car,
Looking out at the speeding receding night scene, her eyes red.
Ryan’s words were still ringing in her head. She felt so ridiculous.
How many times when Regina has bullied her behind her family's back, and she has endured it silently hoping to get some peace, but it has intensified.
She’s not a naturally weak person, but if she can’t tolerate it, she naturally fights back and this becomes her bullying Regina in Ryan’s eyes.
The tears which she had been trying to hold came down in a rush and she began to sober. She couldn’t return home anymore for her grandmother has finally found a way to remove her from the family name. She can’t return. She felt so devastated and helpless.
A man's voice echoed from the window is it worth it to be sad for such a man?
She was stunned and turned around only to be lost in a blurred vision of a Nobel man sitting there with a straight back and a cold brow.
She just remembered that she had gotten into the car of a man who she spoke to in the bar.
She didn’t want to look defeated anymore and wiped the tears away from her face. Who says am grieving for him?
Fredrick looked at her with a raised eyebrow, his gaze falling on her still-reddened beautiful eyes.
Priscilla explained, I am not doing it for him I am doing it for myself.
Fredrick readily agreed and nodded his head.
Do you know the best way to let go of a failed investment?
Stop thinking about it.
Priscilla turned to look at him too, it wasn’t like she hadn’t seen anyone so handsome. Ryan was handsome, but now his face seems so normal. Compared to the one in front of her, damn, he is like an ancient God.
It was like the stars could not share the same glory as the sun and moon, the man in front of her was so dazzling, like an eagle soaring above the nine heavens, with a powerful and noble presence.
Not to say his face can make any woman scream from excitement.
A ridiculous thought flashed through her mind.
Staring at the side of his handsome face, she swallowed.
Do you think am beautiful?
Fredrick's body stiffened.
The woman in front of him was undoubtedly beautiful.
Not only is she beautiful but sexy and stunning.
Even though she only wore a simple jacket. It couldn’t stop her from looking like a Goddess.
Fredrick Adam's apple rolled and no words were spoken.
Only a few moments later, he gave an uncomfortable answer, hmmm.
Priscilla looked at him and leaned in a bit, her delicate pink lips almost coming up to his ear, and thought she used a small voice to ask, “So if I want to sleep with you would you be willing to accompany me”?
David Gold, who was driving really couldn’t hold back and puffed out his laugh.
In the next second, he felt a cold knife-like gaze behind him.
David kept a serious face and drove the car silently.
Only then did Frederick turn back to the woman beside him.
He narrowed his eyes, there was a dark light floating in them, there is a price to pay for sleeping with me are you sure?
Priscilla smiled, money, I have.
She pulled out another stack of money to put in the hand of the man with her.
Fredrick then realized that she hadn’t been joking from the onset.
The veins on his forehead jumped twice and he raised his brow
He then asked with a serious face, are going to sleep with anyone sitting here tonight?
Priscilla shook her head and laughed suddenly, she then stretched her hand to reach out to his face and pat his face.
I wouldn’t be that stupid to sleep with you because e you are too handsome, they look down on me, don’t they? I’m going to find someone handsome and better than him, and I am pissed off at them.
Fredrick has never expected that this would be the answer.
He looked a little puzzled, clearly not prepared to take her words seriously.
Just then the car suddenly braked abruptly.
Priscilla was already drunk, with the inertia fiercely rushed out, if not for the quick eyes and hands of Frederick to retrieve her back she would have fallen out.
What’s going on?
David's voice came from the front, I’m sorry sir. We have arrived at the suite land.
You go back.
Yes sir.
The sound of the car door closing came from the front. Fredrick turned back to look at the woman in his arms, seeing her drunken eyes blinded, her clear face stained with flushes, not to mention a frown.
We are here, get off.
The woman in his body, however, did not move, leaning into his arms and gazing up into his noble untamed face.
Her face was ascetic and cold, but her lips were born thin and sensual and were full of seductive compulsions.
Priscilla reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, a cool kiss fixed on him.
Fredrick's body stiffened, his pupils tightened, and in the next seconds, the softness on his lips left.
Priscilla looked at his face and saw his stupefied appearance and giggled, handsome you have a sweet mouth.
Resisting the urge to throw her off the car he said in a quiet voice, let’s go.
Priscilla didn’t move and blinked, looking at his handsome and cold appearance, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Is that why you won’t sleep with me too, because you think am rigid, ungentle, and uninteresting?
Fredrick tenses his jaws, No.
Then why won’t you sleep with me?
She seemed suddenly aggrieved, and her tears fell in great masses rolling down are pale, jade like face like a glittering jewel
His heart tightened hard for no apparent reason.
The woman's tears fell as if she didn’t want money and soon they wet the hem of his clothes.
The grand ballroom of the Aurelian Hotel shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, golden hue over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Tonight, it wasn’t a place of betrayal or whispered plots. Tonight, it was a temple of love, a sanctuary where Priscilla and Fredrick would finally seal their bond.After everything they had endured—the deceit, the threats, the near-death experience—tonight was a testament to their resilience.And tonight, in front of the world, they would celebrate it.Priscilla stood in the bridal suite, her reflection staring back at her from the full-length mirror.The gown was breathtaking.A masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate pearls, the off-shoulder design framed her collarbones perfectly, while the flowing skirt cascaded down like a waterfall of silk. A delicate veil, embroidered with shimmering crystals, draped from the crown of her head, a silent promise of the sacred vows she was about to take.She exhaled slowly, running her
The woman’s gaze was sharp, unyielding, her dark eyes filled with something dangerous—something primal.Hatred.She stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, her fingers tightening around the stem of her champagne glass as she watched Priscilla from across the room.Priscilla, radiant in her emerald-green gown, moved through the crowd with effortless grace, smiling, laughing, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond her vision.She doesn’t deserve any of it.The thought slithered through the woman’s mind like venom.She was supposed to be nothing—an unwanted child of the Waals, an orphan taken in out of charity. Yet she had grown up in luxury, had been given love, attention, and a family name.While she…She had been the outsider.The adopted daughter.The replacement.Priscilla was the real daughter. The one they truly loved.And for that, she had to die.She had spent years waiting, biding her time.Hiding the bitterness beneath practiced smiles. Perfecting the art of deception.But
Everyone was merrier as they celebrated.Lourdes felt a little bit awkward when she saw Ben.Ben, on the other hand, kept staring at Nancy.Although she had given birth, she was still as pretty as ever, but now it seems this pretty lady hates him.He wore a sullen look and kept staring.Andrei came over and tried to tease Him.“Hey Ben, you seem so lost staring at that pretty lady over there. Are you aware your recent ex is here? How do you do it? Nancy has given birth, definitely she is taken!”Ben stared at him coldly, “ I’m aware she has given birth, and as for Lourdes, we never really dated.”Ben thought of something, then smiled.He walked over to Lourdes.They chatted and kept smiling at each other and laughing so loudly.Lourdes enjoyed his company and wished that the relationship they had could become real.On the other hand, Nancy kept staring at them.She was having mixed feelings. Priscilla observed that her face didn’t look so good and she asked, “Best, are you okay?”Nancy
In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and drink.If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”Nancy blinked.“What?” Ben frowned.“You didn’t hear me?”“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”Ben sneered.“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”Nancy’s temper flared.“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”Ben ignored her completely. “I have no faith in you.”She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make my meals while pregnant, do you?”Ben shot her a look.He seemed to think about it.“If you could, why not?”“Bastard!”Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Ben’s mood inexplicably improved.“Relax.
How could this man be so hateful?He knew she couldn’t do anything. He knew she had nothing left. Why was he still pressuring her to this point?Ben sneered.“If I decided to come after this child, what can you use against me? Your half-baked techniques? Or are you going to tell your father and have me beaten up like four years ago?”Nancy jolted.Endless cold raced down her spine.She looked at him icily. “You can certainly try.”Ben paused, then said, “But your father probably won’t treat me like this now, will he? After all, four years ago, I was just a poor kid with nothing, no match for his sweet daughter. But things are different now. I’m the heir to the Silvester family. Think about it. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with my seed, wouldn’t he be so happy he carts you over in a horse-drawn carriage?”“Don’t go too far, Ben!”“I’m just telling the truth, aren’t I?”The two stood there as dead silence took over the still atmosphere.Nancy glared at him with eyes full of
Nancy’s birthday was coming. Priscilla was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn’t celebrate her birthday.Since Nancy went abroad, she had only been in occasional contact with Priscilla.She didn’t even contact her father and brother.Priscilla couldn’t raise her opinion. She could only care about Nancy as much as possible, lest she feel lonely abroad.On Nancy’s birthday, Priscilla called her at the stroke of midnight. The call was put through soon.Nancy’s delighted voice came, “Priscilla!”“Happy birthday!”“Thank you.”Priscilla couldn’t help being amused by Nancy, “To be honest, have you missed me?”“Of course, but you never come to see.”“Don’t worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Fredrick and I will come together.”“What if it’s a daughter?”“It’s better. Ann can keep her company and take care of her.”Nancy shook her head, “You’re lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child.”Priscilla’s smile froze on her lips.“Can you manage i
