Chapter 11

Liam had just left the racing club when he received a message from his older brother, James. After reading what James had to say, Liam was startled. "What are you up to? Are you trying to play the overbearing big brother character and stop me from finding true love? This is the first time I've ever liked someone so much, so don't try to stop me. I'm nineteen! I'm not some little kid with a puppy-love crush." Liam rambled on non-stop for a bit. After all, James had a history of being strict like that. He never allowed Liam to skip class or date early, and demanded that Liam be the perfect student. Now that Liam was in college, everyone else's girlfriend was still the same from high school. He was the only one who was still single. Now that he finally found someone he liked, he wasn't about to let his wicked older brother break them up! James ignored his ranting and simply sent a photo he had taken at Bruno's house. "Take a look. Is this by the artist you like? The name Ael

"What fiance? He's just a scheming opportunist! "Thank goodness my beloved found out about him cheating before the wedding, or she'd have walked straight into hell! "Come on, James! Can't you at least check your facts before you tell me? What if I were timid and stubborn at the same time? Wouldn't that turn my love story into some kind of tragedy? "You're seriously trying to ruin my love life here, James!" Liam typed furiously on his phone, almost gnashing his teeth. Meanwhile, James was busy with work when he was getting bombarded with his younger brother's complaints. His phone rang repeatedly, and when he finally picked it up, he couldn't help but laugh in irritation. He had, in fact, just double-checked everything. However, it was also a fact that he had jumped the gun. Suddenly, James thought of the perfect plan. The worst that could be said about it was that it was a little inappropriate, but there was nothing to fault him for if anyone asked. He decided to consid

Chapter 13

Meanwhile, I was in the seating area watching Liam's race. The crowd was excited; everyone was shouting for their favorite racer. It was the final day, and the champion would soon be decided. Naturally, the atmosphere was even more intense. Thus, I didn't notice a familiar figure slowly making her way toward me in the corner. A pregnant Raine suddenly knelt at my feet, taking me by surprise. I stood up, shocked."What are you doing here?" I didn't tell anyone else where I would be, so how did Raine find me? Before I could think it through, Raine started crying and tried to throw her arms around me. I quickly got up and dodged. She had fooled me once—I wasn't going to fall for it again. Not to mention, she was pregnant now. If something happened, nothing could clear my name. When Raine saw how I avoided her like the plague, her face froze for a moment, but she quickly collected herself and began sobbing at my feet. "Please, let me have Bruno! I'm already carrying his chil

Chapter 14

Raine collapsed on the ground, her face frozen in shock as she screamed and clutched her belly. I could see blood trickling down between her legs. Immediately, I pulled out my phone in fright and called an ambulance. At the moment, people around us made their way as well. When life was on the line, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, no matter how much enmity there was between us. Besides, there were so many eyes watching. As Raine was being loaded into the ambulance, I told Liam to go collect his award. After I insisted several times, he finally relented and didn't come to the hospital with me. Having something like this happen on such a happy day for him made me feel terrible. Liam saw right through me and comforted me. "It's not your fault. She brought this on herself. Just wait, I'll come find you when I'm done!" I nodded. In the ambulance, I called Bruno. The phone rang a few times before he picked up, as if trying to act all high and mighty. "So, you finally de

My surprised gaze instantly fell on Bruno. Even the doctor was taken aback by the absurdity. He yanked Bruno's hand off his collar and said bluntly, "Stop talking nonsense." With that, he turned and went back into the operating room. He was only coming out to deliver the message, anyway. I watched Bruno go mad, banging on the door to the operating theater. "Save the baby, you hear me?!" Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a grad student? Where's your common sense? By law, you always save the mother first." Bruno froze for a moment, then looked at me lovingly. "Didn't you say you didn't like Raine? As long as we keep the baby and raise it together, you'll feel safe, right? If you want your child, we can have one as long as we get married. In the end, his is all your fault. As long as I don't press charges, you'll be fine. You have no choice but to marry me! Stop throwing a tantrum, okay?" The smug look on his face, as if he had everything under contr

"Everything you said is because you're upset, right? Someone as gentle as you won't ever say something like that!" he cried. Bruno looked at me almost pleadingly. It was the first time he had ever shown me that kind of expression…like when Liam nervously asked me if I had a fiance. But when Liam did it, it was charming. When Bruno did it, it made my skin crawl. I guess that was the difference when I love someone and when I don't. I firmly brushed his hand away. "From the day you used my life to threaten me into signing that agreement, there was nothing left between us." Bruno opened his mouth, but whatever he said now was useless. He had never imagined that someone who had once loved him so much one day would walk away. He had always thought that even if I found out about him and Raine, he would be able to talk his way out of it. Now, everything was different. If Bruno had to choose between me and Raine, he realized he couldn't give up either. So, he let me go. He did

Chapter 17

Time passed quickly. It was only a few days later that I found out what was being said about me online. Honestly, I couldn't care less. Whenever something like this happened, money could be used to clear up my name. Online gossip was full of smoke and mirrors. Who would truly keep paying attention to something so trivial? Bruno's attempt to use public opinion to pressure me completely failed, but his actions did provoke Raine. Lying in her hospital bed, Raine read the news on her phone, gritting her teeth. In the end, she completely snapped and hurled her phone onto the bed, cursing, "Aelia! You killed my child, and now you're trying to steal my man! I hate you!" The nurse who came in to change Raine's dressing just rolled her eyes. At first, she had almost believed Raine, thinking that Raine's hatred was because Aelia had killed her child. Now, the nurse was sure Raine was just jealous, since Bruno didn't love her. The nurse already knew about the online drama, so she was

Chapter 18

The moment one of those men's filthy hands reached for my chest, I didn't hesitate—I pulled out my stun baton and jabbed it right at him! While the others were still in shock, I went after the other four, one by one. Soon, the ground was filled with men howling in pain. All five of them lay there, twitching and convulsing. Without thinking, I took out my phone and called the police. It didn't matter who wanted me hurt, the police would get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, at Liam's side… He was checking his chat with his beloved. When he saw the message that I was on my way to pick him up, he got so excited he started bragging to his friends. "See? My wife's coming to get me! Are you envious of me, you singletons?" One of his close friends nudged him with his elbow. "The gods will punish you for showing off too much!" "Yeah! You've got a girlfriend, but the rest of us will get one eventually!" someone else grumbled. Liam laughed like a little boy, then impatiently jumped

Chapter 19

That sudden, unexpected proposal left me stunned. Minutes passed, and I had no idea how long I stood there like a marionette, just staring at Liam's cautious face. He bit his lip, as if summoning every ounce of courage he had. Even though his heart was full of fear and uncertainty, he forced himself to say those words out loud. Finally, under his intense yet nervous gaze, I nodded slightly and uttered a single word: "Yes." That simple answer seemed to drain all the strength from my body. After I agreed to his proposal, I gradually calmed down. I started thinking about the future; after everything I had been through, I had finally figured out a lot of things. I understood now that as long as I could truly be independent and strong, I never had to fear being hurt by love again. Even if I spent a lifetime with him, I would never forget the precious embrace I received today. The moment I said yes, Liam held me as if I were something fragile. He was so gentle and careful. A
