Lihat lebih banyak"Can you please tell me why your master wants to marry me? I don't even know him?" Kate looked at him with her fearful and confused gaze.
She was feeling very nervous.
"Miss, if you want to save Mr. Waston's company, marry our master. This is the only condition our master has for you," he told her.
Kate thought, "How could I marry a man whom I have never met in my life, but he knew she didn't have any other options to save her adopted father's company?"
"I need some time to think about it," Kate felt confused. She was just a college student. Alex stood from the chair and looked at her.
"Miss, you only have one day to think about this deal," Alex handed a card to Kate. "If you change your mind and agree to marry our master, then please call this number." Kate took that card from Alex:
"Thank you."
Alex turned around and left that coffee shop; Kate sat there in a daze; she felt like the entire world was crushing her hard.
Alex came out of the coffee shop and quickly went inside a car. After closing the car door, he turned to the car's backseat.
A handsome man was sitting there. That man lifted his black eyes from his laptop and looked at Alex. His eyes were icy cold; his one look was enough to give someone a severe heart attack.
Alex felt his sharp gaze; he felt very nervous. "Master, Miss said she needs some time to think about it."
The handsome man gave him a wintry smile. "Make all the preparations for tomorrow. She will say yes." he looked at the girl who was standing in front of the coffee shop.
Even if she wanted to refuse, she could not.
He was a legendary man of the S country. Everyone had always regarded him as a male god in this city, In S country. Everyone knows how heartless he could be if anyone dared to challenge him.
If he wanted to own something, nothing could stop him. So now he wants to marry her. How could she escape from him? He was the master who could make anyone fall into his trap, and she was just a little girl who had no idea what he desired from her.
"Okay, master" Alex understood his master's order.
"Go," he said to Alex. So Alex started the car and drove off on the road.
He looked at his master from the front mirror; he knew what his master was thinking. He has been following his master for nearly ten years now. He sighed softly; he knew his master's life would take a new turn from tomorrow.
Kate returned to her hostel room at noon, her thoughts running into the conversation in the coffee shop. When her phone rang, she looked at her phone and noticed a call from her mother, Rachel Weston. She answered it.
"mom"
"Kate, did you meet Mr. Wood?"
"Yeah, Mom, I already met him."
"Kate, what did he say to you?" Is he going to help us?"
"Mom, I'm not sure about it yet, but…."
Rachel Waston cut off her words before she could finish her words.
"Kate, although you're our adopted daughter, we gave you everything that we gave our daughter Sherry all those years. Now we're in deep trouble. Can you please help us?"
These words hurt Kate's heart; even though she knew they never truly cared about her, they owned her life.
Rachel Weston would sell her biological daughter for the money, so why would she be kind enough to spare Kate?
She was a greedy woman. For her, money was everything in her world.
Now their company is in a deep crisis. How could Rachel do nothing to save herself and her so-called image?
"I don't know what you will do, but you have to persuade Mr. Wood to tell his master to help our company, do you understand?
"Okay, Mom, I understand; I will do as you say. Rachel Waston hung up the phone call.
Kate was going to have lunch, but now she has lost her appetite. She lowered her head and got lost in her thoughts; Kate did not realize even when someone opened the door,
"Where were you all morning? Amy inquired Kate. Kate came back to her senses and crooked around,
"Oh, Amy, when did you come back?" Kate asked with a smile.
Kate and Amy became friends when they entered college, but they became best friends with time.
"What happened? You looked pale," Amy worriedly asked.
"Nothing, I’m just tired. Kate couldn't tell her the truth.
"Tell me truthfully, did that Walton family say anything to you?" Amy looked at her suspiciously.
Amy knows how that bitchy Waston family has treated Kate over the past few years.
"Amy, don't overthink; they didn't tell me anything. I have a headache; that’s nothing to worry about."
"If you say so, okay, have some rest now; I have classes after lunch." Amy took her bag and left the room.
Kate felt relief that Amy didn't force her to say anything else.
She lay down on her bed and thought about her life.
She could marry a man she never met, but it's not like she has any other options. Kate knew she had to return the debt she owed them.
Kate sighed; she had to sacrifice her freedom and future for her debts.
In a luxurious VIP private room, there were three people inside the room.
These three men looked super handsome. However, these three men have different characteristics.
A man looked playful and easy-going on the right side of the sofa. His name is Adam Richard. S country playboy, even though he never played with women, he was a little flirty.
On the opposite side, a man looked calm, severe, and courteous. His name is Liam Jones.
In the middle, there was the most handsome man. In a black suit, he was the king of the S country's business world, David Xiver.
One look from him was enough to make any woman crazy for him. S Country's people know he is a heartless psycho if anyone tries to challenge him.
He taught them harsh lessons that they wished they were never born. He never cared for anyone other than his friends and hers.
"Good morning. I’m Dorothea Sinclair and welcome to today’s session of Under the Spotlight. I am sure that some of you are wondering where I am today and why this background looks different. That’s because, for this interview, I left the studio to conduct this interview in the home of our guest who is no stranger to the spotlight.” Dorothea announced. “Some of you might know her from September last year when she and her best friend, Isabel Gomez, were held hostage by two gunmen who kidnapped them from the club they both worked in. Some of you might also know her from her interview with me on this very show in March where we talked about her revolutionary app, Care Compass which was, and still is, making waves in the medical field. However, some of you might know her from everything that went down two months ago when she was kidnapped from a supermarket and held hostage for a week. Join me to welcome, the very beautiful and very intelligent, Cassie Peters.” She said and signaled to th
The first time Cassie had woken up as a captive, she had thought that that would be the most pain she would ever be in. She remembered how much her head hurt and how she had ached all over. Waking up again, she found that she felt a thousand times worse. She owed the shitty feeling in her entire body to Robert fucking Smith. After she had been caught trying to escape, he dragged her by her hair to the very room that she had escaped from. She had tried to struggle against him but her muscles ached from running around the house and anytime she made any form of movement against him, Robert would pause along the hallway to deliver a series of kicks to her midriff.When they had finally got to the room, he had exerted the second phase of his revenge by reopening the cuts that had been made on her arm earlier that week and adding a couple of new ones with the help of his switchblade. He followed it by wrapping his gangly fingers around her neck and choking her, letting his nails dig into he
When Felix finally awoke, he did so slowly, his vision blurry and his head heavy. Even as he was still half unconscious, he realized that he recognized the environment that he was in. It was all strangely familiar but yet, unsettlingly transformed. He was in a room in the Callahan mansion and judging from the size and layout of the room, he was in his old bedroom. The decor of the room had changed drastically since the last time he had been in the room. All of the posters of superheroes and bands had been taken down and replaced with modern art pieces. The color of the walls had been changed from a baby blue color to a dark gray one. His bedside table which had been formerly crowded with action figures and school books now spotted manila folders, stationery and a small potted cacti.The more Felix observed the room, the more it looked to him like someone had been staying there for a while. The hardwood floors had a few scuff marks on them at the points where the room’s furniture was.
Felix stumbled over the phone as he clumsily tried to pick up the phone. “Cassie. Are you hurt? Do you know where you are?” Felix asked, each word tumbling out of his mouth quicker than a response could possibly be given.He pulled his laptop closer to himself and hurriedly started to launch the software that he had been working on ever since the night of Cassie’s disappearance. He had already set his phone so that whenever Cassie's phone came online, he would be able to track it. It had a lot of flaws but it was the best he could come up with in such short time. He couldn’t just download a regular cell phone locator off the internet to locate Cassie’s phone as she had built a series of safeguards for her phone to ensure that it was heavily guarded. She had everything on it apart from a proper password; it was both ironic and amusing. He had tried launching the app multiple times but the search always came up blank, indicating that her phone had been switched off. Now, it showed that
Cassie felt as if her head had been shattered into thousands of pieces by a sledgehammer, hastily put back together with hot glue and then a band of tiny people had started to use it as a venue for a rock metal concert. She felt worse than that time in her freshman year of uni when she had attended
She startled herself awake the next morning. There was no way for her to tell if anyone had entered the room while she was asleep. As she pulled herself from the ground, she decided that anytime she was going to fall asleep, she would do so with her back to the door so that if anyone were to try to
“What’s the update?” Felix asked, walking down the hall.There was a deep sigh at the other end of the line. “There still hasn’t been any sighting of him. No one is sure if he has been back to his place ever since he’s been out of police custody. Witness testimony is also a bit shaky as that neighbor
Felix steadied himself against a nearby shelf as he took quick, successive breaths. Cassie was fine. She had to be fine. He started to circle the supermarket again, searching for her amongst the multitude of shoppers. When he didn’t see her, he did it a third time. And then a fourth time. But there
