"We're not afraid of anyone, you know that, right?”
"Emily, the promise I made to you twelve years ago still stands. You just enjoy life and leave the rest to me," Elton's hand suddenly covered hers.
His palm was warm, unlike Murray's, which was always cold, making holding his hand feel like grasping a block of ice.Emily was startled and instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but then she realized, was this a confession?
Noticing his forwardness might have startled Emily, Elton quickly released her hand, stumbling over his words in an apology, "Sorry, I... I got a bit ahead of myself. Did I scare you?"
Emily nodded, then said, "I've always remembered when you said you would take care of me forever, brother."
Hearing her still address him as 'brother,' Elton realized she might have misunderstood his intentions. He longed to tell her that his desire to care for her was not just as a brother but as a lover. Yet, he also thought that with Emily's university life still unfinished, a conf

As Lydia stormed out, Sandy happened to come back. Seeing Lydia's angry retreating figure, Sandy asked, "What set her off again?"Emily didn't reply, simply pointing to the two lunch boxes on her desk. "I saved some food for you. Go heat it." Sandy lifted the lunch box lid, inhaling deeply with satisfaction, her eyes narrowing contentedly. “There's a lecture in the department soon. They've snagged a top-notch business mogul as the speaker. I should head over now and eat later.”Emily thought to herself that explains Lydia's return at this time.Emily thought to herself, no wonder Lydia came back now. Both she and Sandy were finance majors - Lydia had likely rushed back for the lecture, too."Want to come with?" Sandy asked. "No thanks," Emily declined decisively. "Oh, okay then," Sandy said, stuffing a crab leg in her mouth before grabbing her bag and heading out again.Once Sandy was gone, Emily felt an urge to leave, too. Ever since she moved back in, visitors had been frequ
Falling for My Contract Lover "Come on, it'll be fun"
Emily picked up her phone, still carrying Murray’s warm.She sent Sandy her location.Soon enough, Sandy arrived, oblivious to what had transpired. She asked Emily excitedly why she hadn't responded to her messages, but Emily’s expression clearly read “not interested.”Undeterred, Sandy teased, "Guess who the mystery business big shot was tonight?"Emily sipped her freshly served cold beer. “Don’t want to guess.”"You're no fun!" Sandy said. "It was Murray Gibson! Shocking, right?""Oh." Emily nodded; no wonder he had come to see her. “Honestly, I think your part-time job isn’t too bad,” Sandy mused, admitting even she couldn't deny Murray Gibson’s allure despite her usual indifference.Emily didn't interrupt, letting her wax lyrical to her heart's content. Only when she finally wound down did Emily briefly explain Murray's earlier visit and abrupt departure. Sandy took a swig of beer, grimacing at the taste, and then spat it out. “So, the tycoon’s old flame is back? Why haven’t

Murray arrived at the bar in response to Stacey's call.He found her being coerced to drink by a group of people, seemingly part of some rich kids' gathering rather than a business event. He scanned the group coolly - did they really need to get so wasted?Striding over, Murray shoved aside the man blocking his path and tossed him away like trash.The man whipped around, cursing. But spotting Murray, the fist already raised quickly dropped back down again."Oh, Murray! What brings you here?" His tone instantly turned ingratiating."Get lost," Murray said bluntly, not even sparing him a glance as he went over to gather the tipsy Stacey into his arms.The room fell silent, watching as he carried her away.Nestled against Murray's chest, Stacey was quiet in her semi-drunken state, breathing softly.Reaching his car, Murray said, "I'll take you home."“No, I can't go back. If I return like this, my dad will
Falling for My Contract Lover “She has No interest whatsoever in rotten cucumbers”
Emily and Sandy met at the nearby milk tea shop by the hotel. Emily had always known that Murray had someone following her, thinking it was merely for her safety. Only after Woody's odd reaction did she realize the extent of Murray's measures. Returning to school and preparing for graduation was one thing, but a far more critical task must remain hidden from Murray. Emily understood Murray's nature well. If he realized she was aware of his secretive actions, he'd likely cease them. And Woody was the key to it all. First, she had Sandy add Woody on W******p, then arranged for him to meet up, intending to replace Sandy at the rendezvous. Before Woody's arrival, she deliberately let her tail see her, making it appear as if she was on a date. On their way to the hotel, passing a convenience store, she faked a need to buy something, but in reality, she swapped coats with Sandy there. Their heights and builds were similar enough, and with hats and masks in the evening, one couldn't t
Falling for My Contract Lover “ Would you like to know who my sugar daddy is?"
After freshening up, Emily and Sandy prepared for bed. As Emily locked the door, she noticed Lydia hadn't returned yet."Can you ask if Lydia is coming back tonight?" Emily asked.Sandy shook her phone, "She posted on Instagram saying she won't associate with people of questionable character and is sleeping in another dorm tonight.""Oh," Emily replied indifferently, locking the door before getting into bed.Sandy turned off the lights and joined her.With Lydia away, they could talk openly without texting each other, even when face-to-face.Emily turned over, lying on her back. Moonlight streamed obliquely through the window, casting a sparse, hazy light on the ceiling. She squinted into the dimness, suddenly curious about what Murray might be doing at that moment. The thought scratched at her heart like tiny claws with sharp nails, tingling and slightly itchy.She reached for her phone, pretending to scroll through Instagram. Severa
Falling for My Contract Lover "I've missed you"
Emily chuckled softly, her slender fingers swiping across her phone's screen before holding it up for Lydia. The image on the screen showed a man and woman cheek to cheek in a photo, capturing Lydia's attention completely. Her eyes widened, and her pupils shifted from unfocused to a sharp focus, almost frozen in place. "Want to see something even more exciting?" Emily teased, her eyebrows raised, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "No, no, this is fake; you Photoshopped it; it's not real," Lydia stammered in denial. "Not convinced? Here's something more," Emily said, scrolling through her phone's gallery. She opened a video of Murray wrapping his arm around her, kissing her cheek, and setting it to loop play. Standing beside Lydia, Emily watched the video with her, occasionally making remarks. "The sugar daddy keeping me is quite handsome, isn't he? Almost like those big movie stars." Lydia stared at the intimate couple in the photo; her image of the unattainable Murray Gibs
Falling for My Contract Lover "I don't like it"
His searing kisses lingered on her skin, reluctant to part even for a moment.Emily felt herself melting under his touch like a quiver might send her sliding off the seat. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson; she half-resisted, half-surrendered in his embrace, whispering, "Are you serious about this?""Are you playing pretend?" Murray paused, propping himself up on his arms to gaze down at her, his half-closed eyes brimming with desire.The man's intense aura enveloped her, a hint of mint fragrance in the air, "Don't you find it thrilling?"Emily bit her lip, nodding shyly, her face flush in embarrassment. Outside, the rush hour traffic was in full swing, with bustling crowds and a whirl of activity. Inside the car, they were a picture of intimacy, a stirring scene indeed."Shall we continue?" Murray's voice was dangerously enticing.Her cheeks blushing furiously, Emily timidly reached down to unbuckle his belt."Are you sure about doin
Falling for My Contract Lover "Please!"
The restaurant boasted chefs from various countries, allowing customers who booked the entire venue to choose their preferred cuisine.Despite knowing Murray preferred mild flavors and couldn't handle spicy food, Emily deliberately chose Spanish dishes, emphasizing extra spicy."Just as Miss Rockefeller wishes," Murray said casually, loosening his suit button and sitting down with an air of nonchalance."What would you like to drink?" he asked Emily."Dry white wine," Emily replied quickly.Murray slightly furrowed his brow, then instructed the waiter, "Get one from the L winery, any vintage or grade."After the waiter left, he sat up straight, leaning back in his chair while elegantly folding his napkin onto his lap. He lifted his eyelids to look at Emily, "Satisfied?"Emily propped her head with her hands, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and let out a light "hmm.""Too bland? Want to change it?" Murray wasn't fond of white w
