"I..." James wanted to say something but stopped after giving it a second thought. At first, he was forced by his mom to give up, and he was afraid that he was too young to give her a future. After that, he went into Bella. He couldn't do anything due to the strife between him and his family. And now, the only thing he could do was put aside his love for her. All of these turned into a kind of silent sorrow that choked his throat.
"I'll love you more and make up for everything that happened for the past five years," he continued.
Sonia put on a smile that was full of sorrow, bitterness, and despair. He did love her, but he did not care about her at all. She had waited him for five years, and had actively confessed her love to him. However, he didn't welcome her in his arms, making her look like a big fool. After getting drunk, she married someone else and lost the most precious innocence that she had been saving for him.
"Did you ever
Sonia smiled and touched his handsome face. "Although you seldom smile, I know what things make you smile.""Really?" He raised his thick eyebrows. "Tell me.""When you tease someone, you smile. When you play a trick on someone, you smile. When you make a fool of someone, you smile an evil smile. When you are unhappy, you sneer coldly with your mouth closed, and..." She trailed off and her eyelids flickered. When he looked at her like this, he smiled. His smile was real and very gentle.She liked to see his smile because she had never seen him smile to others that way, not even to Leila. It seemed like this smile was really exclusive to her. As a matter of fact, there was another reason why she didn't regret giving up Instituto Marangoni—if she hadn't given it up, she never would have met him."You're so into me, aren't you?" He said in a low and joking voice. Sonia blushed, but it was masked by the dim light."Don't flatter yours
Finney was feeling absolutely frightened. She picked up her phone, getting ready to call the police. Meanwhile, Sonia ran into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife. She thought that if her cousin-in-law failed to deal with him, then she'd be able to scare him away using the knife.Daniel gasped and grabbed the knife from her hand at once, afraid that she would hurt herself by accident. "I'm here. What are you worried about?"Indeed, he was a very tall man. The strange man was no match for him. Once he caught sight of Daniel, he would probably be scared to death."Be smart later. If brother-in-law fails to deal with him, you should go out to rescue him." Sonia patted him on the shoulder."I think he will be fine." After he finished talking, Daniel got lost in thought. He had very sharp and keen eyes. It was almost as if he could see all of the secrets hidden in the dark that others couldn't see. He usually never cared about
Then, Jim looked at Eva with a playful yet threatening expression in his eyes and thought, ‘I will be sure to remember this girl!’At the same moment, the director entered the room."Sonia, are you here? You’re going to sing ‘Reversed Attack’ with Jim for the opening."Sonia couldn’t believe what she heard. ‘What?!’ She couldn’t utter a word but she was already screaming in her mind.The color on her face quickly faded. ‘Why the hell didn’t they inform me in advance?!’ Luckily, she was good at singing. Otherwise, she was already thinking about what a disaster it would be.To her consolation, Jim was informed about it but he never rehearsed. After all, he was also good at singing and doing it in front of so many people was a trivial thing for him."Don’t worry too much. I’ve go
The day after that was another exciting day.Sonia made it to the front page of the entertainment news, making people speculate that she was one of Jim's new favorites.Lying leisurely on the balcony of the villa by the bay, Daniel put the newspaper he had just finished reading on the marble round table.With a glass of champagne in his hand, Jim leaned against the handrail and said, "I thought you were playing a game of cat and mouse around the world, but I didn't expect that you would be hiding out here.""The most dangerous place is also the safest place." A smile spread over Daniel's mouth. He had never been one to play by rules."The way you're dealing with things this time isn't your style." Jim squinted his eyes and looked at him. He knew exactly what kind of person Daniel was. They grew up together, so he believed that he knew him
When the other two men saw this, they were so scared that they nearly peed in their pants."Let him go. He already stopped," Sonia said, consoling the thin, tall man as she glanced towards him.The tall man looked at her with gratitude."Fuck off," Daniel growled before he let him go. The man rushed out and disappeared in a flash.Daniel turned to face towards Valery and with a face contorted with venomous rage, he growled, "Look straight into my eyes and don't you dare blink! If you do anything harmful to my woman again, I swear to you, by the time Baron comes to collect your dead remains, they would need DNA testing to figure out that the body belongs to you!"Valery was clearly frightened and angry, but resorted to stamping her feet on the floor with her hands on her belly.Sonia was silent, but her deep black eyes glared at Valery coldly. De
"What's wrong with you?"A scenario played in Sonia's head for a while. 'One day, Daniel had an argument with Leila and got himself drunk. Valery then climbed into his bed and a drunken Daniel thought it was Leila and later impregnated Valery.'Such plots were frequently seen on TV shows. Not to mention, Valery's mother, Elizabeth, was a very skilled woman. She must have inherited that from her."Did Valery's family force you to marry her?" This was something she knew, and didn't even have to guess. Some people were just like super glue. Once you stick to their skin, there was no way out of it."There's no way I would marry her, but I want to be responsible and raise the baby myself," he said with sheer determination, assuring that the child was indeed important to him and he wanted to be responsible for it.This answer made Sonia feel a bit uneasy.
That name.No one was more familiar with it than she was.No one knew her better than she did.No one understood her better than she did.Because she bore that name for seven whole years.Sonia was Cathy.After divorcing Baron, her mother changed her name to Lucy in the hopes of forgetting her past life and starting a new one. After she married Bob, Sonia offered to change her name in order to ease her mother's conflict with her new grandparents. Since her mother's second marriage, they had severed ties with their original family and became members of the new family wholeheartedly.However, did she actually become engaged to that ice guy?Wasn't this the biggest joke of the century?How come she never knew about it?He was eleven years old then, while she was onl
Never!Thanks to his so-called mediocrity, she didn't feel any pressure whenever she was with him. She was able to get along with him, joke with him, and even argue with him. It was also because of his "mediocrity" that she felt like they were from the same world, and that she was able to put her trust in him.There had been a lot of ups and downs in her life. She had gone from a girl with a well-known and rich family to a girl with a small house in the middle of nowhere. And to be honest, she preferred the latter one.It was said that jade was the apple of the eyes of people from wealthy families, but the truth was, people from wealthy families all had two faces: one was ugly, while the other was gorgeous and fake.What was the difference between Daniel and those people?"I'll only do what I need to, and I'll act how I should. Nothing more." Sonia's voice was cold
