Early in the morning, my phone started ringing. It took some time until my sleepy mind registered that somebody called me because they wanted to talk with me. However, even though I finally realised it, I still refused to grab it and pick up the call. Recently I had trouble sleeping. No matter if I tried to sleep during the night with lights on or during the day, I just couldn't. I was so desperate that I tried to sleep in full darkness, which I didn't do since the time was reversed. I only felt drifting to sleep three hours ago, which was five in the morning. So, which monster wanted to wake me up so early at eight o'clock?Disgruntled, I reached out and accepted the call. The not so pleasant voice of that man came through it."I want you in my office in half an hour." Before I had time to tell him to f*ck off, he hung up to me. I blinked slowly, contemplating whether I should listen to him. Nah, my sleep was more important.However, thanks to him, I couldn't d

Ten minutes had left until we finally received the call that the sniper had been taken care of by Kang Xianliang’s right-hand man. At least, this problem was out of the picture. However, seeing what the CCTV footages on Kang Xianliang’s phone showed, it looked like we were far away from being saved. There was a group of seven sturdy men wearing black clothes and masks who invaded the building. Right now, they were approaching us undisturbed by no one. Even after the lifts were stopped, they used the emergency staircase, and within a minute or two would be here.‘’What will we do now?’’ I asked in despair.‘’You still can save yourself. Just go to the rooftop. They don’t want you, after all.’’ The man replied sleepily. Seeing how hard it was for him to remain conscious, I felt even more anxious from the dead-end we were in.‘’Can you use your power one more time?’’ If we wer

 When I woke up in the morning, I was alone. This was the first night when I slept soundly for a long time ago. Maybe it was because I fall asleep sensing another person’s presence. However, now I was relieved not to see Kang Xianliang here. Yesterday night we spent a lot of time speaking about random stuff, and I asked him not to show in front of my family when they visited me. My mom and Yan Si still had hostile feelings towards him.Soon my mom opened the door of the ward and stared at me for a few seconds without saying anything. Then she put a hand in front of her face and started crying. I watched her dumbfounded, wondering why she acted like I was on my death bed, not just shot in the back with a bullet. Yan Si behind her left out a heavy sigh.‘’My baby Luo, who dared to do this thing to you? It’s all this man’s fault.’’ She rushed towards me, hugging me tightly and pressing my head towards her chest. A few

 As the night progressed, I felt how my headache was getting stronger. Not only this, my sight was hazy, and I wanted to puke. Was it because of the ship’s rocking? I never had seasickness before. I leaned my back on the chair and took a look at the host. The bid had risen to 5 million US dollars.Kang Xianliang was waiting patiently for Xavier. As Leonardo’s representative, he was carrying his money in a black suitcase which laid next to his leg. If I was correct, there were 10 million dollars in it. But, I had no room for doubt as I used my phone to check Leo’s bank account. Just a week аго one of his debit cards lessened with the exact same sum. So, it was only logical to assume he was going to use it for tonight’s bid. However, even if I was wrong, I doubted he would pay more than Kang Xianliang, this crazy b*stard. If Xavier brought more than twenty – five million for this relic, I was going to rename myself.‘&rsqu

After I saved him, he was nice to me, so I had forgotten his real self for a while and how unpleasant his personality was. It was my mistake to do it, and I would make sure not to forget ever again. Thinking about it would only ruin my Christmas Eve mood, which was unforgivable. I didn’t intend to look upset and grumpy when everyone else was happy.The living room was brightly lit and lively. The table was set with delicious meals, and there was an appetising turkey in the middle of it. I started salivating shamelessly like some barbarian who hasn’t seen food for days. I almost lost control over myself, but I managed to stay still using my last straw of will. However, when I saw the chocolat
