Chapter 283

Author: Lightmoon
There was an old saying: when God closed a door, He'd open a window.

Looking at Alinta's goofy, cheerful grin, Marisol thought that perhaps the doors in her life had been sealed shut, but God hadn't given up on her. He'd opened a window instead.

It was a huge window that was as big as an entire wall! Sunlight could pour through without anything blocking it.

She found herself grinning just as goofily.

…

To pay back the money and save up more, Marisol took the most basic service job she could find since tutoring was off the table and many other paths were blocked. She ended up working at a bubble tea store on a busy food street. At least she'd receive an income.

She was pretty and spoke gently, so naturally, many customers came by. Most weren't really there for the tea.

They just wanted to chat with her, admire her face, and the bold ones would ask for her number. She turned them all down, but they kept coming back anyway.

Marisol didn't mind. Good business was good business, and

    They even called the police. Her reputation in the tutoring community was destroyed overnight. Everyone was calling her names and cursing her out.In the blazing heat of summer, Marisol sat in the police station, repeating over and over that she hadn't stolen anything or hit any children. Her throat was on fire. Her lips were cracked and peeling. Despite the sweltering heat, she was drenched in cold sweat and couldn't stop shaking.Eventually, since there was no evidence she'd stolen anything or harmed the children, they didn't arrest her. However, due to the serious allegations and what they considered a violation of conduct, all her tutoring earnings had to be returned. She was also fined.The university called too, issuing her a formal warning and banning her from tutoring in the future. In one night, she went from having savings to being completely broke. She even owed money.Finally, Alinta got the call and rushed over to pay the remaining fine so Marisol could leave the stati

    Marisol barely slept the rest of the night. Perhaps it was because she'd just recovered from her fever, combined with the cramped car seat, but she woke up the next day feeling sore all over with a splitting headache.Zachary, on the other hand, was bursting with energy. She had to hand it to 18-year-old college guys—their stamina could only be described as volcanic.Of course, it might also have been because this was his first long-distance road trip, and the adventurous teenager was practically buzzing with excitement. He'd gotten up early to grab breakfast from the service station and fill up her bottle with water.They went through their morning routine—eating breakfast, taking medicine, then hitting the road again.During the drive, Marisol used her phone to check their route and calculate timing. By afternoon or evening, they should reach Cozam, which was the entrance to Highway 317, the legendary road into Maros.This stretch of highway was known as the "Nirvana Road". It w

    Marisol sat beside her, forcing a weak smile. This was her first taste of how easily power could crush someone, leaving no room for dignity or pride.Just as Alinta was ranting about filing a complaint, Marisol received a call from an unknown number. When she answered, Lucian's voice on the other end was as casual as ever."That aid you applied for… Although it may have been approved, it hasn't been distributed yet. Things can still change... "Let's talk, Marisol. Come to this address tomorrow night."He gave her a hotel name and room number. As if certain she would come, he hung up after delivering what sounded more like an order than an invitation.Marisol gripped her phone, expressionless. After a long moment, she suddenly grabbed Alinta, who was still ranting, and asked, "Ali, how does your family compare to Lucian's?""Huh?" Alinta paused, confused about why she was suddenly bringing up Lucian. Instead of answering directly, she held up her hands, gesturing with one high an

    "A deal?" Marisol's mind was already foggy, and she asked without thinking.The alcohol had gone straight to her head as it always did, leaving her cheeks flushed. When she looked up at him with slightly unfocused, glistening eyes, there was an innocent confusion that made Lucian's gaze darken.His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice grew even huskier as he spoke slowly. "Yes. I've been thinking—if you need a stable relationship to feel secure, I can give you that. But it won't be as boyfriend and girlfriend."Marisol stared blankly, not understanding what he meant.Then he said in a casual, indifferent tone, "I know you need money. I can support you."What about 200 thousand dollars a month? You'll come to me whenever I call, but it stays private. When it's over, I'll give you additional compensation."You won't lose out. That should work, right?"Having said that, as if certain she would agree, he lost all patience. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers almost hungrily.

    If Marisol could forget the pain her family had inflicted on her since childhood, she could forget her feelings for one person. She had always been capable of being ruthless with herself.After that night, Marisol decided to quit her job as a court assistant. When she went to submit her resignation to the court manager, Lucian happened to be there, chatting with the manager about something. He saw her arrive but showed no reaction; he didn't even look her way.Fortunately, having just cut those feelings out of her heart, Marisol felt completely numb inside.She handed over her resignation letter. The manager seemed somewhat surprised. His gaze unconsciously fell on the expressionless Lucian beside him before quickly shifting back to her. After some back-and-forth, Marisol cited her studies as the reason, and the matter was settled.From then on, she never went to the basketball court again and never asked about Lucian, forcing herself to shut him out of her world completely.The t
