“Release her right now!”It was a familiar yet strange voice.The man let go of me and I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breath, he spat on the ground and said with disdain in his speech: “Look who's finally here! What a sissy.”“Stop talking nonsense, I was busy on the phone.”It seemed as if he had been talking to someone all this time.I finally recovered from the cough and turned to look at Andrew, he was standing in the rain, looking like a wild animal, just like years ago when he had left the Moom family.I looked at his face and felt like he was trying to avoid eye contact with me, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.He apologized. “I didn't know this piece of shit would ambush me tonight. I didn’t want to involve her.”I still couldn't speak, so I shook my head in response.I was worried about him because he had come alone, like Karen, I didn't want to see him punched to the ground.I turned around to see how Karen was, she looked horrible, she was lying on the floor

Andrew Moom. He said in an enigmatic way: “You may not be Natália Moom, but you are a true child of the Moom family, and there is no doubt about that.”I smiled and said, “Andrew, that doesn’t sound like you. Normally, you would say whatever. What do you have in mind, I just want to know the truth. Can you tell me the truth, please?”Andrew I wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly fell on something behind me and said: “When I have time, I will call you again.”I guessed it was Carlos Sky. That was behind me, so it was indeed a bit inappropriate for Andrew to say it here. I agreed, said, “Yes, let’s find a good place to speak next time.”I still felt a little disappointed. After Andrew left. I turned to Carlos. And his gaze was cold as he looked in the direction Andrew had left and asked, “Where do you know each other?”“Yes, I know him, he is a friend.”Actually, I wasn't lying. It was true that I had hidden some things.Carlos didn't ask me anything else. On the way back, I a

“Should I reciprocate her feelings for me?”André Sky's words continued to echo in the depths of my heart. I was stunned, not knowing how to answer his question.He sighed and lowered his voice to say softly. “Girl, in this world, there are many things that no matter how much you want, you can never obtain. I know your heart aches for Karen. As her brother, how could I be totally calm about all this? It's just that I have my own point of view on some things! Karen likes me... And that's her problem. And if I'm not cruel to her, she'll have hope.”What André said was not wrong. In fact, it was important that both parties were willing to love if he had no feelings for Karen, it was right for him to stay away from her and not give her hope. This would prevent them from continuing to deceive themselves.Karen understood in her heart why André was doing all this.However, for some things, it was one thing to understand, and another to be reluctant to give up.I felt that Karen wouldn't giv

Andrews' Beloved said that the police had rushed into her house to arrest Andrews without any explanation, and she knew nothing about what had happened, but I suddenly remembered the man from last night.He hated Andrews. Last night, when he caught her, he had said he wanted Andrews' life. Andrews had probably already had some disagreements with that man.After turning off the cell phone, I looked at the time, it was now one in the afternoon and I didn't have a car available. If my assistant came to pick me up, going there and back would take a lot of time. When I arrived in the city, it would probably be around 5 in the afternoon.Carlos would probably arrive home around 7 pm. It would also take some time to deal with things, and there would be no way I could return in time.If Carlos found out that I had run away again, he would definitely be very angry. Furthermore, with such heavy rain, my body was very tired and I just wanted to sleep, but Andrews...In the end, I need to help hi

He muttered: “Stupid woman!”I corrected him and replied, “She was just worried about you.”Andrews did not respond. We soon turned into a small alley lined with two rows of old houses.I frowned and asked, “Where is your house?”Andrews asked what do you want to know?”He was asking about the question I asked him yesterday, it was about Natália Moom from 1995.As he had asked me, I simply replied: “On my birth certificate it says 1995, but I was born in 1996. So who was born in 1995?”Upon hearing my question, Andrews responded with amusement: “Natália, why do you think there is another Natalia instead of suspecting that you added another year to your age when registering your birth?”I rolled my eyes and said, “My parents would never make such a mistake! Andrews, what exactly is the secret behind all this?”“Is there another Natalia Moom in this world?”I was shocked, Andrews patted me on the shoulder and explained: “Your parents adopted a child from the orphanage that year... She h

I grabbed my umbrella and walked through the alley. When I got back to my car, I was still depressed and stressed. I had never imagined that my parents could have treated Melaine this way in the past by forcibly removing her kidney.After all, she had only been a girl.At that time, she had been a girl my age. However, the treatment she had received was worlds apart from mine due to our backgrounds.The assistant could sense that I was feeling low. While driving, he said with concern: “Mrs. President, did something happen?”I shook my head and said, “It’s okay.”Even now, as I stood at the door and looked at that woman dressed in a flowered skirt, I had felt a strange kind of panicky fear inside, since she had looked just like Melaine.Truth be told, I didn't understand my own fear. Maybe he still felt the guilt inside.I had asked Andrews if she had been Melaine.However, Andrews had denied it, saying: “Melaine is abroad.”That woman looked like Melaine, but she wasn't Melaine.

When I left the infirmary, I didn't see any vision of André on the fourth floor. I rubbed my chin gently and thought hard. Could he have left sooner?Could André have caught one, am I rushing here just to catch a glimpse of Karen?When I went down the stairs to leave, I saw that a man was standing at the entrance and I immediately understood that he was waiting for me there.By this time, the rain had become considerably lighter and there was just a drizzling snow outside.André was wearing a thin outer coat over a white shirt. Cream? On his wrist, he wore a Rolex watch.He was especially tall and his bangs had been neatly styled to reveal a smooth, acne-free forehead. At that point, he was holding onto a huge black umbrella and his eyes were shining as brightly as a thousand stars.His eyes sparkled purely. They were exactly the same pair of pure eyes that I used to look at. Of course, the owner of these eyes hasn't belonged to me for some time now. I had fallen in love with another

“Street Where Wind Resides.” It was a melancholic song and was not well known. Very few people would be able to compose, sing, roll with it unless they were true lovers of the song.Even so, I came and my strength was demonstrated through the performance of this song. Because of that, the public all voted for me.I did not lose. Such as. The waiter. Asking for more competition, the man dressed authentically, in a classic suit, slowly raised his hand. He smiled with a sheepish smile and said, “I want to challenge you.”As predicted, he was probably the cafe owner who waited for The Final Winner to appear before showing off his capabilities. I didn't feel worried at all. First of all, it still was. Debatable whether or not I would lose. Furthermore, there was also André here as support. If I lost.In terms of his piano ability, I had never doubted him.I played another piece, a Modern piece this time. Meeting the middle-aged man chose to play a chopim piece. Clearly, he was a hidden pro

I sat down next to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, smiling. “I’m not a fool at all!”I had just confronted the cafe owner, after all.Upon hearing this, Carlos took a deep breath, as if he was preparing to ask something. Suddenly, he changed to a firm expression “Did you meet André?”I was quite surprised. “How did you understand?”“You have his scent on you.”Carlos had an extremely cold expression and I knew I couldn't mention the coffee incident with André without angering him more. Upon seeing this, I responded carefully, “Before leaving, I decided to visit Karen in the hospital. He was there and we spoke a few brief words before I returned to my assistant.”I didn't want to lie to him on purpose, however, I also didn't want him to get angry any more.He asked suspiciously, “André really made the effort to visit Karen?”I continued with the lie. “Yes, I think he eventually gave in.”Upon hearing this, Carlos looked at me solemnly for a long period of time before respondin
