From His Pet to His Wife

I couldn't read Sean's emotions. I might not be exceptionally clever, but I was cautious enough. In Sean's presence, I avoided anything that might displease him. Therefore, I politely declined the Christian’s advances, explaining that I belonged to Sean, both in life and death.My response brought laughter from the crowd, except for Sean. He remained seated, his gaze fixed on me with those inscrutable eyes. I replied with a bright smile.Meetings among these powerful individuals and the end of the dinner were merely the starting point. The gathering shifted to a spacious private room, where the coffee table was already filled with various expensive liquors.A group of individuals, guided by the club owner, arrived at the scene. Among them were both men and women, appearing as if they had been carefully presented for choosing, much like well-packaged items. I even spotted a few who had recently come of age.In our profession, one needed to have a keen eye. Whether they were genuinely yo

My birth wasn't anything to boast about, and I didn't enter this profession willingly at first. My life story might earn a few tears from TV drama viewers, but in our line of work, it's hardly worth mentioning. There are plenty of people who had it worse, and who the hell am I to whine about my life?With the bustling airport crowd around me, I instinctively shifted my focus and rushed towards Sean, expressing my longing with an enthusiastic embrace.Sean wrapped one arm around me, his tone casual, but his eyes and smile held warmth. "You seem so happy?""Yes, very happy!" I nodded vigorously.He chuckled softly, evidently pleased with my response, and for a rare moment in front of others, he took my hand.I felt incredibly favored.Sean often had a group of people around him, and I didn't hold an official position. Despite my existence being public knowledge, I seldom had such intimate moments with him in public.I kept my full attention on him, partly to convey my feelings of longin

I knew my life hadn’t been exactly a walk in the park. However, this whole kidnapping ordeal was entirely new. In other words, I wasn’t some wealthy heir or a high-ranking official's child, so I couldn't fathom why they'd bother abducting me!I was awakened by a splash of water.The surroundings were dimly lit, probably some sort of basement. I shivered from being drenched in icy water and strained to open my eyes, looking at the person in front of me.I didn't recognize the man.Nonetheless, my father, positioned behind the man, remained just as loathsome as before.As I regained consciousness, my father's face briefly contorted with malevolence. It appeared that he had a strong urge to approach me and reprimand me, yet he held back because of the formidable figure before him."Lizzie Rees?"I shrank back, too frightened to utter a word.This man, David Johnson, radiated an air of apathy and authority that I couldn't dare to challenge."She's average-looking, I don't know what Sean se

Once I left the villa, my life became peaceful again. Sean had been truly generous. Thanks to the severance package, I acquired three properties, millions in cash, and even some stocks under my name. As long as I avoided unlawful or extravagant spending, this wealth would ensure a comfortable life for the foreseeable future.After working hard for over twenty years, I could finally retire early. One of my friends, Wendy Hawk, who visited me recently found a new benefactor, and it seemed that he was treating her well. In just a few months, she had earned a significant amount of money."After I make a fortune from this deal, I want to retire too," Wendy said while lighting a cigarette. The smoke obscured her expression, and I couldn't see her face clearly. "I'm not getting any younger, and it's time for me to settle down and enjoy life.""I can’t believe you’re saying that. It doesn't sound like you at all.""Remember my previous benefactor, the one from the capital?""Yeah, the only

The first time Sean met Lizzie was at a rather ordinary social gathering. Many people wanted to flatter him, but not everyone had the privilege. Everyone respectfully addressed him as "Mr. Lawisson," except for Lizzie, who seemed somewhat ignorant, calling him "Mr. Lawson." Because rarely anyone would address him that way, he took another quick look at her.People in influential positions were subjected to scrutiny and speculation from those below them even with just a passing glance. Although Sean only took a quick look, some people mistakenly believed he was interested in Lizzie. Consequently, they brought Lizzie over to him, together with her background checks and medical reports.At that moment, he happened to have no one by his side, and Lizzie stood before him. She wore a polite smile, but he could sense her hidden feelings of unhappiness and dislike.The individuals brought to his side were all seasonal players. He was curious about how long someone like Lizzie could last in
