The papers slipped from between his fingers and scattered all over the floor. It turned out I'd made 99 attempts. Every time, I started off filled with hope. And every time, he personally squashed out that hope.

To strengthen his claim as the heir, Kyle pushed me forward in front of all the elders, showing me off like a trophy. "Elders, this is my mate, Althea. She has been blessed with a divine gift from the Moon Goddess!" he announced, his face flushed with a manic energy. "I have died nine times, and every single time, she was the one who pulled me back from the brink of death!" "What?" "Nine times?" The hall erupted in chaos.

I retrieved the phone with the cracked screen from the ground. It wouldn’t turn on at all. Susan silently let out a sigh of relief. She seemed to think that I couldn’t verify the numbers on my damaged phone. Calm and collected, I pulled out a stack of papers from my bag. Susan’s face tu

The moment Adrian heard it, he picked up the call without hesitation. “Adrian, I’m on the rooftop. I saw you with another woman. I’m going crazy with jealousy.” “Don’t do anything stupid.

Five - 'I know you love me.' Six - 'and maybe I like you too.' Seven - 'or love you?'
