MasukBefore I could explain, the car had already pulled up in front of the lobby of a luxury apartment building that belonged neither to me nor to Evelina.
I could only stare at her in silence, especially seeing the many security guards and staff standing around the lobby, as if they were waiting for me.
“Evelina, what’s going on?” I asked, panicked and shoc
When you're young, perhaps eighteen or in your early twenties, you dream of finding true love. Yes, you hope to meet the man you'll spend the rest of your life with, someone who will grow old beside you, love you unconditionally, and teach you what it truly means to be loved.I might have found love when I was young, but Christian was the only man I had ever dated and married.Evelina once told me that I should at least experience life first, see the world, and never sacrifice my dreams for a man. Otherwise, I might regret it someday.Back then, I had only smiled because I was so certain Christian was the man I had chosen for myself. But I had learned the truth the hard way and the man I had chosen had betrayed me.And now, looking at the mature man sitting in front of me, watching me after confessing that he wanted something more with me, I realized this was something I had never imagined would happen.Especially at my age.The innocence of young love was no longer there. I was no l
Wait…WHAT?!I stared at him, wondering whether I had heard him correctly.“I'm doing all this for you, Priscilla, not her.” His words lingered between us, leaving me completely speechless.For a few seconds, I simply looked at him, waiting for him to laugh and tell me he was joking, but he didn't.Edward Cross was still looking at me with those penetrating eyes, his expression unusually serious.“Why?” I finally managed to ask. “Why would you do all this for me?”One of his eyebrows lifted and he placed his coffee cup on the table before leaning back slightly.“Do I need a reason?”I blinked… What? Of course, he needed a reason!He was Edward Cross, a man whose time was probably worth more than I could earn in several years. He owned businesses, had powerful connections, and could probably make almost anything happen with a single phone call.And yet, he had spent days checking on me, arranged for a private hospital room, provided security, and even made sure I had a comfortable plac
“What did you say?!! Why didn’t you tell me straight away?!” Evelina shouted in anger.The very next day, after I’d contacted the bank and enquired about my savings account—which, as it turned out, had been completely emptied—I immediately told Evelina about it.My best friend, who is also my solicitor, was fuming with anger; she immediately rang someone and, shortly after hanging up, the phone rang again. She answered it straight away whilst standing in my room.“How much did they take?” she asked me, still holding the phone to her ear.Hesitantly, I finally replied, “Around… more than 3.5 million.”“WHAT?!!!”Because of that, an hour later, Evelina called the police.Now, in the presence of the police, Peter, Evelina and Edward Cross – who this time had come along in person – I explained what had happened that night.Evelina said that the concussion had caused new memories to surface, and that was why she had called the police straight away after she heard I am saying something abou
Before I could explain, the car had already pulled up in front of the lobby of a luxury apartment building that belonged neither to me nor to Evelina.I could only stare at her in silence, especially seeing the many security guards and staff standing around the lobby, as if they were waiting for me.“Evelina, what’s going on?” I asked, panicked and shocked by the scene.Evelina, for the first time, smiled contentedly before giving me a mischievous wink.“I’d say you went out to throw out the trash and ended up striking gold.”Huh? What?But Evelina just burst out laughing at the look on my face without saying more.
“Look at this Anna, more than three and half million?!”Christian knows there’s a lot Priscilla has since she had an account at 18 that time, she works three jobs and separates her money from daily and saving, never thought it could be this much.Anna's eyes lit up the moment he mentioned the total amount.She just got 10 millions from her sugar daddy, even though she knew she could get more, but at least this is more than enough, especially with breaking contract, she aware she supposedly didn’t get anything but Edward cross is the best sugar daddy she ever have, she could just sold her jewelry, bags and everything Edward had given her and with the new company Christian plan, she believes she will gain more in the future.Now, with an extra three and half million in their pocket, life is truly good.Edward is rich, yes, but Christian is more attractive to her. With his blonde hair and handsome face—not to mention that he was incredibly satisfying in bed—Anna couldn’t help but fall in
Knock… Knock… Knock…Before I could say anything, there was a knock on my door, and Evelina immediately let go of my hand and walked over to open it—only to be shocked to see that it was none other than Edward Cross.“Mr. Cross?” Evelina looked startled before she glanced over at where I was lying and then swung the door wide open so he could come in.“I just saw it on the news and rushed over here,” the man said, as if explaining why he was there, before glancing in my direction and walking toward me with a look as if he were carefully assessing my condition for a few moments before turning back to Evelina. “What did the doctor and the police say?”Evelina sighed and looked worried as she explained, “A knife wound on her right shoulder, bruises, and her face also appears to have been struck. Her left arm and leg are broken from a three-story fall. The police are trying to track down a thief who’s likely targeting women living alone in this area.”Wow.. That bad? I thought in shock a
