บททั้งหมดของ Woke up to My Enemy… Acting Like My Boyfriend: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Ashton Ford ran an impatient hand through his hair when he saw me still lying motionlessly on the bed. He lit a cigarette as he strode over to me. He then leaned down and caged me between his arms.I coughed violently when he blew a mouthful of smoke in my face. Unable to hold myself back, I slapped him hard across the face. "Do you have a death wish, Ashton?"Ashton's cheek immediately reddened. However, he didn't seem to be angered at all. Instead, he licked his lips and grasped my chin."I admit that you look a lot like Elizabeth, but at the end of the day, you're not her. Take the money and leave. Don't try to curry favor with me again. Sunny will get angry."Ashton's statement seemed to excite whoever was sending the comments."Look at how Ashton's protecting his wife! I love their dynamic so much—a delicate woman who's like the sun, and a cold and ruthless man. Who wouldn't love a couple like that?""Am I the only one who thinks that this woman is actually Elizabeth reborn?

"Who wouldn't want a Daddy-type boyfriend like Mr. Ford? Sunny's so lucky. I wish I could exchange places with her.""Am I the only one who feels bad for Elizabeth? The company she worked so hard to build up is being used as a flirting tool.""Stop spouting nonsense, you Elizabeth-lover. Can't you just enjoy how sweet Ashton and Sunny are right now?"The auction kicked off while I was busy reading the comments.25% of the company's shares were up for auction, but the starting price was only one dollar. Everyone tripped over themselves to call out a price, worried that someone else would snatch up such an excellent deal from right under their noses.Meanwhile, Ashton remained cool and composed until the end, when no one else was willing to call out a higher price.The auctioneer had already struck the gavel twice. Just as I was about to hold up my sign, Ashton's voice reverberated around the room."Two billion."Sunny's face twisted upon hearing his words. The highest price had

The World's Will didn't expect that a sliver of Ashton's consciousness would continue to exist within his heart, fighting back against its influence. It was why Sunny could never complete the mission despite the many years that had passed."Good job, Ashton. As expected of my partner," I said, reaching out to him.Ashton held my hand as if it were the most natural thing in the world and pressed it to his face. "Am I just a partner to you? When did you realize that my consciousness was being manipulated, Liz?"I looked at him resolutely. "From the moment I woke up and saw you. I knew that you weren't the Ashton I knew. The Ashton I know would never say something so cringey."I rolled my eyes. I had been nearly overwhelmed with the urge to knock Ashton out at that time, but I had ultimately curbed the impulse.Different comments began to fill my vision."Why does Elizabeth sound like she's talking about disciplining her dog? Is this how we're supposed to do it?""I don't know abou

That night, Leon and I were cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. The male lead had just saved the female lead, jumping in front of her and taking the blow in her stead.Leon wrapped an arm around my shoulder and murmured, "I'll protect you like that in the future as well."As I leaned against his chest, I suddenly felt as if my consciousness had been yanked out of my body. I couldn't control myself as I said, "Ashton…"Both Leon and I were stunned the moment the name left my lips."Ashton?"I repeated the name over and over again."Who's Ashton?"My heart was hammering wildly against my ribcage. Why would I say this name? It was like a key that inserted itself into the lock of my memories, but it refused to unlock, no matter how much it turned.My temples throbbed as excruciating pain exploded across my head. I shook my head, tears streaming uncontrollably down my face."I feel like I know and don't know him at the same time. My head hurts so much… but I can't remember…

Perhaps Leon had always been pretending since the beginning.I freed my wrist from his grasp and whirled around, running toward the other end of the hallway—Ashton should be there.Gasps of surprise and the sounds of thundering footsteps resounded from behind me. When I glanced behind me, I noticed that the guests' faces had twisted into blurry messes, looking as if they were made of photos that were forcefully pieced together.Cracks began to form on the walls while bricks ripped themselves out from the floor.The entire world was collapsing.Suddenly, all the lights in the hotel were extinguished. I could hear my own footsteps and labored breathing in the darkness. I ran forward while stumbling over my feet. There was a heavy weight pressing down on my chest, and a sweet, metallic taste surged up my throat.My legs gave out, turning to jelly. Just as I was about to stagger to the floor, a pair of firm hands gripped me and kept me on my feet.A familiar scent of cedar permeated
