After deciding to leave, I went to the Blacknight Pack's municipal office to submit my withdrawal application. "Ms. Holt," the clerk said carefully, "once you leave the pack, you'll lose all pack protection and will never be allowed to rejoin. Are you sure about this?" "I'm sure." When I stepped out of the building, a notification popped up on Instagram. "Thank you for being there for me when I'm at my weakest!"

Two days later, Jack took Rhea on a trip. I smiled as I entered the office, ready to put my plan into action. I hadn't been idle during this time. I went through the company's accounts and found numerous issues. I also looked into Rhea and Jack's neighborhood and learned that they had presented themselves as newlyweds. As I organized the evidence I gathered, I continued setting up more traps for them. … One day, I suddenly received a message from Jean, saying she couldn't reach Jack. I explained that Jack had gone abroad with his pregnant lover.

Left with nothing and pushed to the brink, they were scammed easily into taking up 'high-salary jobs', which ended up with them being trafficked deep into the jungles with no hope of ever returning. As for Mona, she was taken away by an enraged parent right after she was released from lockup, and no one knew where to. Since then, one of the parents' hometowns gained a mute female student who was sold to a man to give birth to his children. All of them paid a painful price for what they did, and their lives were getting further and further away from mine. My life got better as the days passed. My mother was happy at work, and my father was recuperating well. I started my university life at a

He knew that after living in a dream of wealth and status for five years, it was finally time to wake up. My father glanced at him coldly and said to the assistant beside him, "Give him fifty thousand dollars and make him leave. Consider it payment for occupying my son's place all these years." He accepted the check in humiliation and fled the banquet hall under everyone's contempt. "No! I don't believe this!" Joanna ran over and tried to grab my arm. "You're mine! You can't marry her!" I stepped aside and easily avoided her. Tina also stepped forward and looked at Joanna coldly as she said, "Ms. Shaw, have some self-respect."

The transaction was swift, the cashier indifferent to the stories that lingered behind Bella's tired eyes. With her new, untraceable phone in hand, Bella moved towards the bus terminal. Texas, a distant haven, beckoned her with the promise of anonymity. The journey ahead was fraught with uncertainty, but it was the only path leading away from the clutches of her past. At the Greyhound counter, she purchased a ticket to Texas, choosing the bus as her vessel of escape. The dull thud of her heartbeat echoed in her ears as she navigated through the terminal, a sense of urgency pushing her forward. Bella boarded the bus, her senses on high alert. She chose a seat near the back, her eyes scanning

EVELYN I had finally gotten my head around getting a Cafe, and it had been really slow.

I guessed I didn't expect half the drama I had had to face since returning to Woodhidge. It had literally been one drama to another, one weird situation to a weirder one. Jeez, I need a goddamn break. I needed a little me time. A time where I could just go for a vacation or something; stay on a beach and read some romance. How I wish!

The trio walked out and exited the karaoke. “Today was extremely satisfying. We first got Merrick to spend a ton of money on a knockoff, then we got the Asclepius Needle we wanted, and then we surprisingly got a liver as well. Before we left, we also received another huge gift, Sophia's great liveshow, hahaha, sweet!” William said, grinning. “That son of a turtle Merrick has finally earned the notoriety of millennium bastard. The Dawson family would be quite embarrassed.” They were chatting as they walked, and by the time they got outside, the sun had set.

It's the shop owner. Renz slowly backed away from me and we both turned to the old man. I didn't wanna risk that. What if he picks an ugly one for me? He'll probably get me a poop with googly eyes. Or even worse, a fake wood with a 'Los Angeles' text carved to it. "N- no thanks. We can only afford one." I ended with a laugh, awkwardly patting the back pocket of my pants. "Oh that's no trouble, dear. It's a buy one take one deal for couples." He gave us a genuine smile.

He threw the polythene bag he had his police uniform in to the seat next to his, turned on the car and gripped the wheels firmly while muttering words Gerey and Aunt Brione couldn't discern. As the Peugeot 404 hastily disappeared from no. 3, Atholl Esplanade with a fairly crazed driver in it, Gerey slowly slid back into the house with aunt Brione, thinking of what he had to do. He apparently had better chances of survival than anyone else except maybe, Sir. Oswic. Should I fly after him?
