Guided Reading Level I

I returned home after studying abroad for three years, only to find that my brother’s girlfriend had brought her entire family to live in my mansion. The moment they saw me, they pinned me against the floor. "How dare you! Call him your sweetheart, spend his money, and now you're here to take my mansion? " When I saw the girlfriend’s crazed antics, I was shocked. “Who did you say owns the mansion?” “It’s my boyfriend’s, but it’ll be mine sooner or later. It has nothing to do with you.” With her parents, she yanked off the ancient pendant on my neck and crushed my heirloom bracelet. They even tied up my limbs, put me on the table, and positioned me in a humiliating pose to post online. Her brother pinned my legs down and reached under my shirt…

My live-in husband used my family’s influence to climb all the way to the position of Deputy Fire Chief. Throughout our five years of marriage, he has stood me up on every anniversary by using work as his excuse. This year, he finally agreed to celebrate our anniversary with me. But he only did so out of guilt. He had manipulated me into staying abroad to handle matters for him, which made me miss saying goodbye to my sister while she was dying in childbirth. The dinner was just his way of pretending to be sorry. As our dishes were served, my husband saw a news report about a fire at a top-tier postpartum care center downtown. He immediately ditched me and rushed to the scene. The fire station headquarters was just one block over! And he had specifically taken leave that week. I accidentally answered a call on his personal phone, and that was when I realized why he had been away from me most of the time. This man would not even buy me a cheap birthday gift, yet he had spent a packet to book a stay at a postpartum center for his mistress! I had to see for myself what kind of woman would have him so spellbound. I was determined to make him pay back every single item he had gotten from the Grant family, with interest.

You have my words.” Tristan said to Claire. She stared at him for a moment, he looked serious. “And why do you want to help me, Mr. Pierce? What will you achieve?” She couldn’t help but asked him with narrowing gaze. “I am not helping you in free, Miss Jones. I want a woman to as my son’s mother. He never asks for anything and this is the first time he wished for something and I can’t deny my only child's wish.” He said. “What do you mean, Mr. Pierce?” Her voice wavered as she anticipated his next words. “Marry me, Miss Jones.”

Gadis itu masih terbaring dengan posisi yang sama, yang berbeda hanyalah kelembapan di bawah matanya. Rino menyentuhnya dan mengelapnya dengan tisu. “Tak apa jika kau ingin seperti ini, aku akan tetap menemanimu. Tenang saja, Lucy. Sampai kapanpun, bahkan ketika misiku telah usai. Aku masih belum yakin, ada apa denganku. Tetapi aku akan berada di sini, ya, di sisimu, menyiapkan bahuku jika kau perlu.” “Sebenarnya aku tidak yakin juga akan hal itu, tetapi, ya ..., lupakanlah,” ia berkata. Tangannya meraih kursi yang ada di samping meja lampu. Ia pikir mungkin akan mengobrol dengan raga gadis yang kosong ini sesaat. “Sangat langka momen seperti ini, momen di mana kau, Lucy, bisa menerima semua yang kukatakan. Bukan berarti aku senang kau seperti ini. Ini sangat susah untuk diceritakan, tetapi aku akan memberitahumu.” “Separuh dirimu adalah diriku, dan separuhnya lagi adalah dirinya. Dan takdirmu sangat tidak bisa diterima bagimu, itu dapat dilihat dari keadaanmu saat ini. Misiku adalah mengawasimu sebagai musuh, tetapi aku malah mengawasimu sebagai orang terdekatmu. Kau mengerti maksudku, bukan?”
