  At Christine's insistence, Gloria came back to Fittro Club to work again only after she was a hundred percent recovered.

  Gloria felt that her life was back on track, and nothing changed.

  The only difference was that no matter how hard she tried, there was no work arrangement for her, which made her particularly idle.

  Emily, her supervisor, would not arrange work for her either.

  And Christine would never go against Patrick's words.

  Gloria sat alone in the Public Relations Department's lounge. It somehow became her routine till she got off work.

  "Time to get off work, finally! I'm beat. But I've got to say. The guest today is so generous."

  There were gradually more people in the lounge. Everyone was talking and laughing, discussing today's work. Only Gloria was sitting at the side in a daze.

  She looked up and saw a woman pull out a neat wad of bills. Judging from the thickness, there should be at least 10 thousand dollars. The

      Lucas saw how Gloria struggled deep down, and a smile appeared on his lips.  He thought, 'You are indeed a greedy woman.'  Lucas sighed silently.  He figured that Gloria's greedy nature could do him a lot of good since he was loaded.  After a while, Gloria slowly opened her mouth and asked, "What can I do for you in exchange for your tip?"  A trace of surprise flashed across Lucas' face. To his surprise, Gloria did not just take the money away. She wanted to do something in exchange for the money.  Lucas knew women in clubs. He knew those call girls even better.  Most of them hoped that they could gain things without having to do anything, or they would not choose such a career in the first place.  "Nothing. You just need to sit beside me and let me take you back to the dormitory," Lucas said affectionately. He figured that such sweet talk would move any woman.  However, he found no change in Gloria's expression. She just thoug

      'Of course not!' Gloria thought angrily, but she managed to collect herself and didn't shout it out loud.  She raised her hand, pointed at the door, and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Norman. Please leave!"  "I won't apologize to you." Lucas slightly raised his delicate chin, and his face was proud and aloof.  When he turned around and stepped out of the door of Gloria's dormitory, he said, "Your wound will fester if left untreated."  As Gloria watched Lucas disappear, her breathing was a little disordered, and his last words were still ringing in her ears.  Gloria thought angrily, 'What does it have to do with you? What do you know?'  The door was still open. Gloria took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Then she slowly walked forward and closed the door.  Suddenly, a force hit the door. The door bounced and made her stagger.  "Lillian?"  Lillian was at the door, and she looked like a ghastly evil spirit. She said fiercely, "Gl

     Lillian had now lost her job at Fittro Club as well as Derrick.  She was now looking for a new job. However, it was almost impossible for her to land a job with generous pay like Fittro Club.  What was more, her voice had become hoarse and unpleasant after she was punished by Patrick and Derrick. All of this added up to her anger and resentment.  Of course, she refused to leave just like that.  "You can't get rid of me," Lillian said as she raised her head.  Gloria nodded. She picked up her phone and called Christine. She said, "Christine, I would like to ask you to pass a message for me to Mr. Hammond. Tell him that I'd like to take back my plea. I no longer want Mr. Hammond to spare Lillian's life. I'm willing to pay any price for that."  Lillian heard Gloria's every word. Immediately, Lillian's face turned pale. She quickly said, "Gloria, no!"  Gloria did not hang up the phone. She glanced at Lillian and said to Christine over the phone,

     Early the next morning, Gloria came to Fittro Club. She put her things into the locker, came to Christine's office, and knocked on the door.  "Christine, I'll have to ask you to save for me again," Gloria said and put a stack of bills on Christine's desk.  Christine gawked at the money on the desk for a second and asked, "Who gave it to you?"  Christine thought Emily had arranged a new job for Gloria.  Gloria didn't think too much about it. She briefly explained to Christine what happened last night.  Christine frowned deeply after hearing Gloria's words.  She looked at Gloria and said, "Him? Gloria, didn't I tell you to stay away from this man?"  "But he gave me money," Gloria said.  Christine felt a little helpless. If someone other than Gloria had said this, Christine would have despised the person a lot. However, she knew Gloria well.  Gloria wanted to get rid of Patrick. Therefore, she had to earn a million dollars in a mon

      Derrick dragged Gloria out of Fittro Club.  Gloria thought Derrick would take her to some restaurant in downtown Gabbs, but he took her to the back of Fittro Club building.  He shifted quickly in front of Gloria, and his wolf was gray-black and huge. He lowered his head and gently bit Gloria's hand with his canine teeth.  Gloria put her arms around Derrick's wolf and got on his back.  Carrying Gloria on his back, Derrick spread out his legs and started running. She was so light for him and so he could still run at full speed.  He ran and took Gloria to a town near Shadow Forest.  Derrick put Gloria under a tree, and then he walked behind the trunk and shifted back to human form.  "This is the Blood Moon Pack." Derrick walked up to Gloria.  He took her to the pack territory. Gloria was not used to her hand being held, but Derrick wouldn't let go. She pulled her hand back several times, yet every time, Derrick would hold her hand again

      Gloria found herself despicable. In fact, she had thought about asking Derrick for help, to buy back her freedom from the Fittro Club.  "Do you want to say something?" Just as Derrick dropped Gloria off at Fittro Club's door, he suddenly pulled her and asked.  "No. Nothing." Gloria felt dry in her throat. She couldn't ask the question out loud.  She glanced at Derrick, turned around, and walked towards the club's door hastily as if she was running away from something.  However, because of her leg, she couldn't walk fast. She tried to move forward as quickly as she could while dragging her injured leg, like a clown.  Gloria did not dare to look at the man behind her. She suddenly felt ashamed of herself and thought, 'You are so hideous, Gloria!'  She stood in front of the elevator. The doors opened. She was about to enter. Then she looked up and saw Patrick's angry and cold face.  Gloria took a step back. Her guts told her that the man in f

      Patrick opened his eyes in the dark and glanced sideways at Gloria, who was asleep in his arms.  His gaze fell on her neck, which was covered in hickeys. And then he closed his eyes again.  To Patrick's surprise, Gloria left so many bloody bite marks on his shoulder.  He didn't get it. Why did he let her do it? And why did he kiss every part of her body so madly?  His instinct urged him to get close to Gloria, to make her his. He didn't want to control himself.  Patrick also said to himself, "Don't think about it."  The next day, when Gloria woke up, her eyes were bloodshot. She gave herself a few seconds to react. Then suddenly, she remembered what happened yesterday.  She quickly sat up and looked around. Patrick had already left.  As she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a dull pain in her heart. When she got up, she realized that she slept all night while being completely naked. She actually fell asleep next to Patrick!

      In the Sea Moon Pack, Mike glanced at Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa in his office, and said, "You seem to be in a good mood these days."  "Why shouldn't I? I've come across a very interesting prey," Lucas said with a smile.  Mike put the document down, looked at Lucas, and said seriously, "Lucas, stop it. There's nothing funny about it."  "Mike, you are an Alpha. Don't you know that hunting is a very elegant sport?" Lucas said.  "If hunting is indeed so much fun, how come you've kept going after different prey over the years?" Mike frowned.  Lucas raised his index finger and shook it. "The fun of hunting lies in the process. That's what I enjoy. The process is all that matters. Get it, my Alpha?"  Mike instinctively frowned. "I'm not that sick like you."  "I know Melissa was the only one for you."  Suddenly, Lucas found it hard to finish his words. He sensed that Mike had released the Alpha's pressure, which was so suffocating t

    She sat stiffly on the sofa for a long time, her fingertips absentmindedly rubbing the embroidered pattern on the edge of the sofa.Then, using her elbow to lever herself up from the armrest, she rose slowly. Her knees bent slightly before straightening abruptly, as if she were using all her strength to walk back to the bedroom with mechanical steps.The metal door handle felt cold in her palm.As she pushed open the window, the headlights of the matte-grey Koenigsegg downstairs were reflecting a cold light. The raindrops sliding off the car's streamlined body fell to the ground, like the tears she had not shed last night.Her eyelashes suddenly trembled violently, her knuckles whitening as she gripped the window frame, and the scar on her chest, where the surgery had cut and sewn her up, seemed to be burning.She slammed the window shut, the aluminum frame clattering against the glass, then grabbed the curtain cord and yanked it forcefully. The heavy velvet curtain fell like a black

    Cline's bloodshot eyes slowly lifted toward the lit villa. "She kept saying she's Dorothy, not Luana. So she's using that identity—and married Dorian with it." He frowned."She loved Albion so much. There must be a reason she married Dorian."His thoughts darkened like a storm approaching."Go investigate Dorian and Dorothy," he ordered Russell coldly."Yes, sir," Russell replied respectfully.As Russell turned to leave, Cline stopped him."One more thing...""Yes, sir?"Cline's lips parted slightly as he slowly said, "Check if Dorian saved Luana from the crematorium. Start there."George had mentioned that if the body wasn't damaged and the brain was still active, a heart transplant could save a person.Luana's body had no defects, which meant she must have been secretly taken away before cremation.Whoever took her also gave her a new heart, allowing her to survive.Cline suspec

    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
