2025-01-16 18:01:50Luana needed to get to the restroom, but the dizziness was so intense she couldn't move.
She could only hold onto the door frame and sit back down.
Thankfully, the vertigo came and went quickly, and before long, she started to feel better.
Just as she was about to get up and head to the restroom again, she caught sight of Cline standing by the elevator.
He was dressed in a well-tailored, custom-fit navy suit, standing tall and straight like a pine tree, his figure long and elegant.
The warm light gently bathed him, casting a faint halo around him, making him look even more noble and aloof, exuding a unique, ascetic charm.
His face was hidden in the dim light, his deep features as sculpted as ever, his deep-set eyes like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, revealing an imposing aura.
It seemed he had been standing there for a while.
The moment Luana saw him, her heart tightened, rippling with a hint of nervousness.

Calvert noticed Cline sizing him up and, out of politeness, quickly raised his glass to toast with Cline.Although Cline responded, his demeanor was arrogant and disdainful.Seeing this, Calvert didn't say much.He had heard about Cline's temperament.This man was known for his cold and aloof nature, never giving any face to those he disliked.The fact that he responded in this setting meant he at least had some respect for Calvert.However, much of it was probably due to Runa's influence.Runa was skilled at lightening the mood, and with just a few words, she helped everyone become more familiar with each other.She then purposefully guided the conversation from everyday life to work matters, project collaborations, and bidding issues.She even brought up the recent actions of Coburn Group against the Ortega family.Throughout the entire process, only Cline remained mostly silent, his deep and sinister eyes occas

As Cline and Runa passed by her, Runa suddenly stopped in her tracks.She turned around and instructed Luana, "Luana, take Mr. Coburn back to the hotel."Luana forcibly pulled herself back to reality from her chaotic thoughts, nodded, and replied, "Okay."Runa then smiled contentedly, linked her arm with Cline's, and headed towards the elevator.Once they had their backs turned, Luana dared to lift her head and observe their departing figures.Cline and Runa together seemed like a perfect match, so compatible and harmonious.She herself, however, was just a passerby who had stumbled into their world, like a fleeting trace of a goose's flight, destined to vanish without a trace.Luana curled her lips into a wry smile, thinking to herself that this pain was nothing.As long as she had time to forget, she would surely let go of Cline just as she had forgotten Albion.Luana turned around and looked at Calvert and the others

Gath suffered from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, needing to sleep at a fixed time every day, not even a minute and a half late.But at that moment, he was just too curious about who Calvert wanted him to save.So he gritted his teeth, broke the rules he had adhered to for years, got up, grabbed his car keys, and hurriedly went out.While Gath was still on his way, Calvert had already started giving Luana oxygen.Although the oxygen tank was small, it was enough to alleviate Luana's current emergency situation for the time being.After Luana started breathing the oxygen, the feeling of suffocation and pain in her heart gradually eased, no longer as unbearable as before.As the oxygen slowly entered her body, her consciousness also gradually recovered.When she slowly opened her eyes and saw Calvert standing by the bed with a furrowed brow, she was slightly stunned.It turned out that the person who just saved her was Cal

Luana quickly raised her hand to stop his action.With a calm expression, she said, "I have a heart condition. It's just a sudden attack this time, nothing serious. No need to check."She knew in her heart that her condition couldn't be hidden from a professional doctor, so she chose to tell the truth.However, the reason she didn't let Gath conduct a detailed diagnosis was that she was afraid that if Calvert found out about the severity of her heart failure, he would do something cruel to her again.She hadn't had the chance to say goodbye to Clarissa properly, and she really couldn't accept dying without understanding what was happening.As an experienced doctor, Gath could see through whether a patient was hiding their condition with just one glance.He subtly glanced at Luana's legs and noticed that her lower limbs had already shown obvious swelling, which is one of the typical symptoms of late-stage heart failure.This woman in f

Luana was completely unaware of the rumors about her and Calvert that were spreading among the wealthy young men.Initially, she had planned to rest for a while and leave once the dizziness subsided.However, she unknowingly fell into a deep sleep without any warning.Calvert, noticing her lack of movement for a long time, thought she might have slipped into a coma and gently nudged her.When he realized she was merely asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.He stood by the bed, frowning as he watched her for a moment, then gently tucked the blanket around her.After turning off the light, he left the room.Exiting the presidential suite, Calvert asked his assistant Stanley, who was waiting outside, in a stern voice, "Do I really have no past with her?"Stanley, with an unchanging expression, replied calmly, "Yes, didn't Mr. Coburn take you to the orphanage to verify with the director a few years ago?"Recalling the past,

Luana checked the time and realized she had slept until late afternoon, around four or five o'clock.The countless missed calls on her phone screen hadn't managed to wake her up from her deep slumber.She really could sleep through anything. As she thought this, she swiped to unlock her phone, wondering who had been calling so persistently.To her surprise, she found hundreds of missed calls, all from Mr. Night.He had not only been calling her non-stop throughout the night and day but had also sent countless messages to her.She had slept so soundly that she hadn't heard a single ring or notification.Luana didn't rush to call him back but instead opened WhatsApp to see what he had written.At first, Mr. Night had asked, "Where are you? Send me your location."Gradually, his messages became more suspicious. "Are you with another man?"Eventually, his tone turned aggressive. "If you dare be with another man, I'll kill yo

Just the sight of Cline made Luana's heart race with anxiety, and she dared not even lift her head, her small frame instinctively hiding behind Calvert.This act of hiding only served to enrage further Cline, his gaze towards her becoming even colder.Calvert, however, failed to notice the tension between them and politely extended his hand, greeting, "Mr. Moriarty."Cline barely glanced at the hand extended towards him and coldly remarked, "I have a phobia of germs."His demeanor was the epitome of arrogance and disrespect.Fortunately, Calvert had always been extremely composed and did not feel embarrassed by this. He retracted his hand and responded with a smile, "No problem."Ignoring Calvert's response, Cline's icy eyes turned directly towards Luana, who was hiding behind him."Luana is here too?" he said.Having been called out, Luana could no longer continue to hide.She reluctantly stepped out from behind Calvert

Luana did not respond, simply reaching for her water glass and taking a quiet sip.Seeing her silence, Calvert became even more convinced that she was referring to him.In fact, a hint of doubt was quietly rising in his heart, questioning whether the information he had investigated before was incorrect.After all, he couldn't remember her at all.However, seeing her so vulnerable and helpless last night, he couldn't help but feel worried and even a bit sad.That heart-wrenching feeling was so real that it made him start to ponder whether what she had said before might be true.After hesitating for a moment, he mustered the courage to ask, "Miss Hammond, you once said you were my girlfriend. Is that really true?""No, I lied to you," Luana replied without even lifting her eyelids, flatly denying it.Hearing this answer, Calvert felt a slight sinking in his heart, a sense of loss welling up. He continued, "Then why did you lie to

He didn't blame her. He only hated himself for not cherishing her while she was still by his side.Clenching the letter in his hand, he stumbled and slowly turned to leave.His once-proud figure now seemed frail, as if a gust of wind could knock him down."Cline…" Just as he leaned on the car door, preparing to leave, her familiar, tranquil voice called out to him.Hearing his name, he turned slowly, his gaze locking onto her slender, fragile figure under the streetlight.This was the person he'd missed for three years. Just her soft voice was enough to make him want to run to her and hold her tight.But reality was a cold shower, dousing his fervor.He took a step forward, but she retreated three steps, panic in her eyes, as if he were a monster."Don't come closer," she said calmly, her voice clear and unrippled."I've said all I need to. Please don't disturb me again."Cline had hoped she'd called him ba

Cline released Luana with a hint of despair, staggering back a step.His bloodshot eyes locked onto hers as he asked, "Never at all?"Luana's lashes fluttered, her composure unwavering as she shook her head again.The smile on Cline's lips deepened with bitterness. "What about these, then?"He pulled out a letter he'd carried always, holding it before her. His voice cracked, his eyes red as he repeated, "What do these mean?"Luana's gaze fell on the perfectly preserved letter, and her expression froze—a chord struck deep within.She wondered when exactly she'd lost all hope in him.Her thoughts drifted back to that night when he held her close, their intimacy shattered by his cold words, "Don't delude yourself into thinking I'll love you."She'd felt like ice, realizing she was nothing to him but a vessel for his emotions. Yet now...Luana slowly lifted her eyes to Cline, his composure completely undone.Whe

Luana fought with all her might, her slender hands clawing at Cline's arms.Her nails bit through his skin, drawing blood, yet he held on relentlessly."Cline!" Luana roared in fury, finally dropping her Dorothy act and staring him down as Luana.Hearing his name from her lips, Cline's eyes reddened further. "You finally admit it..."Luana sneered. "So what if I do?"Cline froze, his bloodshot eyes slowly meeting hers.Her face was an icy mask, devoid of emotion, filled only with contempt.This cold Luana left him at a loss.As he opened his mouth to speak, Luana turned her head, her calm eyes reflecting Cline's pale face."Did you really mean it when you said you loved me?""Yes..." Cline's heart leaped at the chance to connect, and he nodded eagerly, about to confess a decade-old truth.But Luana cut him off, her voice ice-cold, "If you loved me, why wouldn't you wait until our contract ended before break

"Does it hurt?" Luana silently asked herself.Once, she had known pain—excruciating, soul-crushing agony that had left her curled on a cold floor, voiceless and desperate.It had been a pain that stripped away all hope in this man before her, eroding her very will to live. It had been so severe that even in her final moments, when she'd longed for a glimpse of him, he'd refused even a phone call.That pain was no mere physical wound. It was a despair that seeped into her very being.It was after enduring such torment that she had finally seen Cline for what he truly was—a man utterly ruthless toward her.Yet now, here he was, holding her and asking if she hurt. The irony was bitter, almost laughable.With a cold, expressionless face, she said, "The five minutes are up. Let me go."But Cline, who had finally held the person he'd obsessed over, had no intention of releasing her so easily.He held her tight and said, "

Cline held tight to her arm, as if he'd never let go unless Luana gave him a chance to speak.Luana, brows furrowed, sighed and relented, "Five minutes, right here."Cline's cold gaze shifted to Dorian, who shot him a glare before turning to Luana."Five minutes, then home," Dorian warned.Luana nodded meekly, "Okay."Only after Dorian strode into the villa did Luana turn to Cline, her voice cool and impatient."Well?"In Dorian's presence, Luana had been the picture of obedience, just as she used to be with him.Now, though, Cline saw a change in her—calm, distant, and edged with impatience.This new version of Luana only deepened the ache in his chest.He longed to reach out, to brush his fingers against her face, but as his hand rose, she flinched violently, stepping back as if struck.Luana stared at Cline's right hand, her pupils suddenly clouded with fear, as if the ghosts of past trauma had res

Luana nodded in agreement and turned toward the stairs.But after just two steps, she froze, her fingers brushing the banister.Slowly, she turned back, her voice hesitant. "Clarissa, I came back as Dorothy... What about Gehrmann?"Clarissa had guessed that Luana had returned as her sister Dorothy the moment she heard Dorian call her by that name.Clarissa's smile was warm, reassuring. "I won't say a word to him or Cline. Your secret's safe."Relief flickered in Luana's eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, the word soft as a feather.As Luana walked away, Clarissa watched her retreating figure, worry knotting her brow."Is this luck or a curse?" she thought, "Leaving Cline only to be trapped by Dorian."At the car, Luana opened the passenger door and slid in."Home at ten seems early," she ventured, her tone tentative.Dorian glanced over, his indifference palpable. "Make it eight, then."Luana's lips twitched

Clarissa watched Luana's fingers tighten around the phone until her knuckles whitened. "When I first saw those messages flooding in, I tried luring him out myself—posed as you, planned to bring the cops. But instead of catching a creep, I got..."She trailed off, the memory of the man in the café still prickling her nerves.A man as cold and heartless as Cline—why would he cling to memories of Luana like this?"Anyway," she shrugged, "he never showed. Guess some ghosts stay buried."Luana's voice was a whisper. "These things... they should've been my fight. Not yours."Clarissa cut her off, "If it were me in this mess, you'd do the same. So quit with the thanks already."Luana nodded meekly, her lashes drooping as she glanced back at the phone screen.The mystery gnawed at her—Mr. Night's messages reeked of obsession, yet he hid in plain sight. Why?She couldn't fathom it, and frankly, didn't care

"I had no choice but to pull a dumb move—I seduced Gehrmann and took Naomi's spot as his bedwarmer," Clarissa said flatly, her voice echoing off the brick walls."I thought I could use him to get back at Cline. Turns out I was dumber than a bag of hammers—Gehrmann wouldn't lift a finger against Cline for any woman." She kicked at a pebble, watching it skitter into the shadows. "By the time I figured that out, he wouldn't let me walk away."Clarissa shifted her weight, catching Luana's profile in the dim light."But don't you worry, Luana. I ain't falling for Gehrmann's charm. This world's got exactly one good man left—Albion. And he's six feet under."So, I won't be that girl anymore—the one who pours her heart out for every little kindness, even when it's not worth it."Mentioning Albion again made Luana's eyes dim as if the light behind them had been switched off.She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow pooling th

Third Person's POVLuana tightly embraced Clarissa, hoping to alleviate her pain.Clarissa, however, patted her back with a smile and said, "It's alright. After finding out the truth, I was devastated for a while, but then I pulled myself together. I installed surveillance cameras and recorded every moment of their infidelity, which I sent to my lawyer."I won the lawsuit, but I couldn't get the house back. I could only recover the mortgage payments, the money I spent on him, and compensation for emotional distress..."However, what I didn't expect was that someone would expose Albert's bigamy online, ruining his reputation. His company fired him, and no other major firms would hire him. As far as I know, his current salary isn't even enough to cover the mortgage. Plus, his mother has cancer, which is why he keeps begging at my door."Clarissa's voice turned cold as she continued, "He thinks I'm still the naive woman I once was, that if he kneels a
