I guessed right, Antoninus was shocked by my initiative to bite him.He touched his lips and remained silent for a while. But it didn't last long, and he quickly regained his usual icy expression."Tomorrow, the steward will take you to the hospital to remove the scars. You can also get rid of the scars on other parts of your body, except for the one on your ear, of course."I didn't understand why Antoninus was so fixated on the scars on my body.But there was a rebellious voice in my mind, saying that I should keep all the scars and only get rid of the one on my ear.Of course, it was just a thought in my mind.I didn't want him to bite my other ear.Antoninus seemed satisfied with my compliance, so he turned around and took out an exquisite gift box from under his desk.I received it in a daze and asked, "What is this?""Open it and see."I opened the box and saw a silver handgun lying quietly inside.The gun wa

The door swung open. Mirabelle stood on the stairs, gazing at me with curiosity. I struggled to find words to describe her beauty. If Roman resembled the sun god, then Mirabelle was undoubtedly the moon goddess. The gods must have fashioned her bones from ice and her skin from snow. Her eyes were clear and pure, shimmering with a crystalline brilliance, reflecting the twinkle of stars. Her nearly white, long hair flowed like moonlight—soft, ethereal, and enchanting.No wonder they said Mr. Marcus would never refuse any request from his daughter. I thought, if such a beautiful creature with tear-filled eyes pleaded with me, I would do anything for her..."Are you Lily?" Before I could even figure out how to start the conversation, she had already recognized me. I quickly responded, "Yes, yes, it's me.""Well then, go away. I don't like you.""... Why?"Her brother had clearly said everyone would like me!!! It seemed men's words really couldn't

Lucius yelled in pain and pushed me away, giving me a chance to escape the room. I hurriedly ran towards the exit. He didn't chase after me, instead, he twisted his face in agony, a sinister smile forming, "You can't escape. Mirabelle's spirit will haunt you forever! Abandon her and run away! I swear you'll dream of her tear-stained bloody face tonight!"But I didn't stop in my tracks. I ran out without looking back, heading towards my car...I hastily opened the car door, rummaged around in the back seat, and when I found what I was looking for, I quickly turned back. Lucius was still inside the private room.He had stopped his pursuit, but was still sitting there, using tissues to wipe his face. The tissues had a few red stains on them, evidence of the bite. "You're back?"Lucius straightened up, his wild and arrogant smile returning. Meanwhile, beneath the dirty coat I was holding, I raised something up in my hand, causing the fabric to protrude slight

Antoninus didn't seem to mind much about the situation."I've already informed Marcus about Mirabelle's situation here at the estate. She's planning to make a video call to her family later. Would you mind keeping her company?""Sure," I replied with a touch of sadness. "I should have apologized to Mr. Marcus, though.""No, I didn't ask you to apologize," Antoninus assured me.He lowered his gaze and looked at me with sincere eyes under the starlit sky. "You can say whatever you want to him. With me, you don't have to compromise yourself."His words were truly touching, but as I gazed into his deep and enigmatic eyes, I couldn't help but wonder how many secrets were hidden behind them. Were Lucius' words true? Was he a victim like me that night five years ago, or was he somehow involved in the dark events that took place?I couldn't find the answers in his eyes and eventually looked away in disappointment. Just then, Mirabelle came running towards us.Her leg was still wrapped in band

I was startled by my own thoughts and quickly shook my head to banish that idea. In any case, although fatigued, today was destined to be a busy day.7:00 AM: I went to the dining hall to have breakfast with Antoninus. I was on edge the whole time, unable to even look up at him.7:30 AM: I escorted Chris onto Lawrence's "school bus." The little guy was well-behaved today, but Mirabelle insisted on tagging along. Lawrence and I spent a good ten minutes trying to persuade her, but we eventually had to summon an entire fleet of bodyguards to escort her.When I finally had a moment to return to my office in the city, Blake was there, cursing up a storm. My colleagues saw me standing at the door and looked at me as if I were their savior. They seemed like they wanted to pry Blake's head open to make him turn around and see me."Boss?" I timidly pushed the door open.Blake turned around, his expression swiftly transitioning from anger to delight. "Lily!
