Foot Fetish Austin

William Anderson adalah seorang fotografer sekaligus pemilik agensi model. Kariernya cemerlang di usia muda dan bakatnya bukanlah isapan jempol semata. Namun begitu tidak banyak yang tahu lika-liku kehidupan William yang kelam. Mulai dari ayahnya yang gemar berselingkuh hingga lahirlah Lucas dan Jazzy sebagai adik lain ibunya. William memiliki saudara kembar yaitu Austin Anderson yang juga mengelola perusahaan properti. Dalam perjalanannya, William bertemu dengan Isabella—wanita pertama yang memeluk kesepian William namun wanita itu juga yang menciptakan kesepian terpanjang setelah kehilangan ibunya. William menjadi sosok lain dan tak tersentuh. Tatapan matanya dingin dan setajam elang. Lidahnya seperti belati yang siap menguliti lawan bicaranya. Tidak ada yang bisa menandingi mulut pedas William sekalipun itu Austin. Sampai akhirnya William bertemu dengan Clara Palmer. Seorang mahasiswa yang magang di perusahaannya sekaligus menjadi asistennya. Awalnya William tidak memedulikan Clara. William begitu cuek dan hanya peduli dengan pekerjaannya. Seiring berjalannya waktu William menaruh perhatian untuk Clara. Tanpa sadar, benih-benih cinta itu hadir. Clara yang begitu kalem dan telaten menyiapkan semua keperluan kerja William. Clara yang begitu mudah bergaul dengan timnya dan mencuri perhatian semua orang dikantornya. William jatuh cinta dengan cara yang sederhana dan menggila saat tidak melihat Clara barang sedetik pun. William akan bertingkah arogan saat ada yang mendekati Clara. Clara Palmer tidak pernah menyangka dirinya akan berada di sebuah perusahaan kondang incaran semua orang. Meski hanya magang, Clara sudah merasa bersyukur. Sebagai yatim piatu yang tumbuh dilingkungan panti dan berkuliah dengan beasiswa, Clara melakukan banyak cara untuk mempertahankan prestasinya hingga akhir. Walau harus pusing, Clara tetap menjalaninya dengan senang. Tapi semuanya berubah. Ketenangan yang Clara dapati di perusahaan William Anderson bak letupan kembang api. Pria sedingin kutub selatan itu menciumnya tanpa permisi. Dan lebih gila lagi karena Clara diam saja bahkan terkesan membalas ciuman itu. Oh Tuhan, apa yang sudah Clara lakukan?

My girlfriend is the true heiress of a wealthy family, yet she suffers from severe paranoia. She's convinced that everyone is out to exploit her. She never believed in my love. In her eyes, I stayed with her only for status and money. To prove my sincerity, during our seven years together, I never spent a single cent of hers. I handed over every paycheck I earned. As for myself, I couldn't even afford a few dollars for a taxi. Every day, I walked five kilometers to work. Then one day, my mother was in a sudden car accident. The doctor called and told me to come see her for the last time. The hospital was thirty kilometers away. There was no way I could make it on foot in time. Left with no choice, I asked my girlfriend to transfer me thirty dollars for a taxi. She flew into a rage. "Simon, thirty dollars is your entire monthly living expense. How dare you ask me for that much all at once? I almost believed your feelings were genuine. But now I see—you're no different from those gold-diggers!" In the end, I never made it to see my mother one last time. When I returned home in a daze, I found my girlfriend throwing a birthday party for her childhood sweetheart. He was wearing the latest luxury watch, his face full of smug pride. "This is the one you bought at an overseas auction, right? Worth thirty million," he said. "You wouldn't even give Simon thirty dollars for a taxi. You're really generous with me." My girlfriend smiled indulgently. "It's only thirty million. It's not like I can't afford it. "Besides, how could Simon ever compare to you? Today, he dares to ask me for thirty. Tomorrow, he'll dare to ask me for thirty thousand. "I've always known it. He's been with me just to take my money." I stood there, frozen, my heart sinking into the abyss. 'It's fine. I don't want her money anymore. And I don't want her, either.'

At the afterparty, my daughter, Mia Volpe, suffers from a sudden asthma attack. She collapses to the carpeted floor and goes through a seizure on the spot. But my Capo husband, Lorenzo Volpe, wraps an arm around his secretary, Sophia Bianchi, while watching Mia suffer before his eyes. Sophia had once shown him a forged paternity test of Mia and him. As such, he firmly believes that Mia is the bastard child of me and a Soldato. When Mia tries to reach out for Lorenzo, her complexion already bluish-purple from suffocation, he merely averts his gaze with a disgusted look on his face. "Daddy… S-Save… me…" I look everywhere for Mia's inhaler like a madwoman, only to realize that it's already empty. Sophia covers her mouth while tittering softly. "Dear me, Mia sure has an affinity for acting! Elena, I can't believe you and your daughter are willing to go to such lengths just to get Lorenzo to pay attention to you! "Since Mia likes acting that much, she might as well make the performance perfect." She lifts a high-heeled foot before crushing Mia's fingers, which were attempting to curl around Lorenzo's pant leg. Poor Mia was in so much pain, yet she couldn't let out a single sound. All she could do was scream silently into the void with her mouth wide open. I kneeled on the floor, my forehead already bleeding from smashing it against the floor repeatedly. "Lorenzo Volpe, Mia is your flesh and blood! Please, I'm begging you! Give me some medicine or call a doctor!" But Lorenzo just looks at me coldly, as though he's looking at trash. "A bastard like her is better off dead. Elena Corleone, stop using such underhanded methods to spoil everyone's mood." At that moment, what little love I still harbor for this man completely dissipates as I feel Mia's heartbeat gradually weaken. I no longer beg him for help. With trembling hands, I press the button on the emergency transmitter that I've sworn I'd never touch. That transmitter is the direct line to the highest authority in Smeraldia—my father, Don Vito Corleone.

Lors du premier jour de classe, j'avais tout organisé. J'avais déjà classé mes livres en ordre alphabétique, mon uniforme était repassé et ranger dans mon placard, attendant seulement que je le porte. C'était la même chose depuis des années. Les garçons allaient siffler devant l'arrivée de Jeanette Green, la bimbo de l'école, les intellos seraient dans un coin en train de faire des recherches sur leurs ordinateurs, les joueurs de foot se vanteraient auprès de n'importe quelle fille prête à les écouter, la chorale répéterait leurs chansons dans un coin de la cantine et les petits nouveaux seraient dans un coin, exclus, en attendant de se faire des amis. Et moi, j'allais trainer avec mes meilleurs amis, faire la folle mais rester une bonne fille. Car quand on s'appelle Lily Parks, on a pas autre choix que de bien se comporter. Dans notre famille, nous n'avons pas de réputation qui nous suive: nous sommes comme la plupart des gens. Seul différence entre notre famille et les autres? Mon arrière grand-père était un homme très respecté dans notre petite ville perdue dans les États-Unis. On le complimentait souvent dans sa façon d'agir, en tant qu'avocat réputé. Il a enseigné les bonnes manières à ses enfants, qui eux l'ont enseignés à leurs enfants, ainsi de suite. Mes parents tenaient beaucoup à continuer la tradition, alors je suis l'incarnation même des bonnes manières. Bonnes notes, bon comportement, apparence soignée... S'il fallait que je brise ces règles! Je n'imaginais même pas... Je prévoyais toujours tout en avance pour éviter de me mettre les pieds dans les plats, pour faire plaisir à ma famille. Mais pourtant, cette année, il y avait une chose que je n'avais pas du tout prévu. Et cette chose avait un nom. Matthew Carter.

During the outdoor orientation boot camp, Wanda Lawson, the daughter of the richest tycoon, suddenly suffered from a heart attack. She collapsed to the ground and went through a seizure, her complexion bluish-gray. My boyfriend, Joseph Jensen, the drill instructor of the boot camp, overheard my pretentious roommate, Ella Ziegler, murmur, "She's usually fine, so why is she suddenly suffering from some sort of attack when it's time for the drills to start? She must be faking it in order to laze around!" Because of those assumptions, Joseph kicked the medication that Wanda managed to pull out of her pocket into the nearby river. "Get lost if you want to play dead! Don't drag us down with you!" I quickly dived into the river and scooped the medication out. Thanks to my efforts, Wanda's life was saved. Her father was enraged when he found out about the news and wanted to hold someone responsible. With tears streaking down my face, I begged Wanda to not expose Joseph. She nodded quietly to me. Joseph narrowly escaped the judgment. But Ella was expelled by the university right away for her malicious and provocative words. She even had a permanent stain of poor conduct marking her record. On the third day after Ella returned to her village, her family forced her to marry an older man who had remained single for far too long because of his violent temperament. Wanda's father was grateful to me for saving Wanda's life, so he listed me into the list of beneficiaries of his family's trust fund. The amount of money I received was second only to Wanda's portion. On the night news of Ella getting beaten to death by her husband got out, Joseph lovingly invited me to the place we first met so that we could go hiking. When I stood on the steep slope of the mountain, Joseph suddenly snatched the backpack filled with supplies, which included a life-saving whistle, from me. Then, he shoved me off the slope. "Why must you be such a busybody? If you never saved Wanda, she wouldn't have been able to testify against Ella because she'd have died! A murderer like you should just die!" Having broken my spine from the fall, I ended up dying at the foot of the mountain. After my death, not only Joseph got to receive the trust fund thanks to his relationship to me as my fiance, but he also began sponsoring low-income students by using Ella's namesake. That was how he reaped both wealth and reputation in one go. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Wanda suffers from the heart attack.
