James' birthday celebration was going to be lively.I stared at the building that had been decorated with a simple design, adapted to James' age of 41. The gray color dominated, while the main beverage was the finest expensive wine ordered by James himself.There was no birthday cake, just a jumbo-sized roast turkey placed in the center of the room, right underneath a hanging golden chandelier.James' birthday celebration party was more like a formal party attended by people from the upper class. My eyes are filled with an array of expensive suits and dresses, all shouting out their abundant wealth.Tonight, I'm wearing a sexy and elegant red silk dress, as well as the jadeite necklace James picked out for me. My hair is left down with a small clasp on the side of my head.James himself is wearing a luxurious black tuxedo. His hair is neatly slicked back, with cologne that gives off a distinctly masculine scent.We stood at the opening of the main hall for a moment. James took my hand
Overcast clouds hung in the sky and the wind came sweeping in like a blizzard. I shuddered and tightened my coat. With the end of summer approaching, it seemed like the frequency of rain would increase these days.James opened the door before I could do so, and he held out his hand. I accepted it with a happy smile, then looked at the towering building in front of us.This morning, James and I went to his office together. James wants me to take part in every meeting he has. That way, I can learn more about the business that James is involved in.James is a true workaholic. He does his job perfectly, leaving no stone unturned to make his clients feel unsatisfied. That's why at his age, he can already taste his success.I want to work with a competent person like James. And today, he intends to show me how he controls the company.When we stepped inside, the employees who passed by immediately greeted us. They bowed respectfully and greeted politely, while James replied briefly.Their e
All the employees stared in confusion as they were gathered on the first floor.I took my father's hand and stood next to James, while Jack stood some distance away. He just kept staring at his feet."As a new employee in my company, I want you to abide by all the rules," James said in a big voice. He pulled Jack closer and motioned for him to stand in front of my father. "I don't like employees who are trouble makers, let alone authority figures, when they're just 'regular employees'. Just because we're related, doesn't mean you can act like an overnight boss."James deliberately emphasized his last sentence and Jack's face turned sour.The employees started whispering, because they knew that Jack was James' nephew who was notorious for causing trouble. And on his first day of work, he had already made James angry.Jack would never learn from his mistakes."Now, I want you to kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lincoln."James gave the order and everyone stared in surprise, especially Ja
I got out of the car and walked towards the main door, a few people greeted me kindly. Then, the main door opened."Hi, Lizzie. I didn't expect you to come here looking for me. What's wrong? Did you miss me?" A young man with a messy appearance asked me. He smiled condescendingly at me.I was so sick of looking at his face. A few hours ago I had been relieved not to find him in the party crowd, but apparently he had been here first."I had expected that you would come back to me again to beg for my love. I'm impressed that you were able to know my whereabouts, until you found out I was at my uncle's house," he said. That man was Jack, he was my jerk ex-boyfriend. "Jack, watch your language! You should be polite to your uncle's wife." A grown man's voice was heard, I glanced back, and James was already here. Earlier he told me to go into the house first, because he was taking a call from someone."What? What do you mean, Uncle?" Jack looked confused.James put his arm around me intima
Tonight, James invited his two sisters over for dinner at our house. He wanted to formally introduce me to his family. I felt a bit nervous thinking that my ex-boyfriend's mother would come and might say something bad. She'd always thought of me as a pest around her son, so she'd definitely think the worst when she saw me with James.I stared at my appearance in the mirror, looking absolutely stunning in the expensive dress James had given me. My old cheap clothes had been put away and replaced with dresses and gowns from famous designers.I brushed my shoulder-length hair for a moment, then put on my wedding ring. My feelings for James might not be called 'love' yet, but I feel very happy now.Somehow James can always make me smile with his words."Sweety, are you done?" James appears at the door in his expensive tuxedo. He comes closer and hugs my waist intimately. My lips automatically smiled when he gave me a sweet kiss on the top of my head."Yes. Is your family here yet?""On t
Maria and Vivi looked like they were going to explode at James' words. Their eyes seemed to be about to jump out of their sockets, while their neck veins tightened.I was quite surprised myself, even though James had talked about it on our wedding day. I just didn't expect him to say it in front of his sisters who clearly hated me.This man really was serious about what he said.Deep in my heart, there was a sense of emotion that arose. Although on the other hand, James and his two brothers seemed to be at odds because of his words just now.Vivi let out a rough breath. "OMG, James. Why did you trust her so quickly and give her your treasure? Have you lost your brain?"James shook his head. "Not at all, Vivi. I wanted to do it myself. Lizzie never influenced me and you can't blame her for my decision.""I disagree." Maria clucked loudly and gave me an annoyed look. "Look at what that poor woman has done to you. It's only been a few days and you've already given her your entire fortune
Tonight James took me to a nightclub. He really knows how to find entertainment for young people like me.We arrived at the club with a tight escort by some of James' bodyguards. And it made everyone in the club marvel at our arrival.James sweetly invited me to sit in front of the bar, while he ordered drinks from the bartender."Oh isn't that Lizzie, Jack's ex-girlfriend?"My forehead wrinkled at the mention of my name. I turned to the source of the voice and was surprised to see Jack's presence with his friends.They were sitting on a sofa not far from the bar. They all looked at me, then my gaze fell on Jack who seemed to widen at my appearance. He was clearly surprised to see my style that was different from usual."Gosh, why does Lizzie look so different now? Hey Jack, you're so stupid for betraying the love of a beautiful girl like her," said one of his friends.Well, all of Jack's friends knew that I was his ex. But I didn't care about that at all anymore.I looked over at Jac
Jack glanced at me, James, and the four men preparing to execute him in turn.He looks so confused.He looked back at me for a long moment, then swallowed. His expression looked so bitter, as if he was embarrassed to ask me for help.Was he really going to do it?I knew how big Jack's arrogance was. He always thought of me as a poor woman and kept insulting me when I was with Flona, so I knew he must feel reluctant to do James' command.But he also had no other choice. Unless, he'd rather be beaten up by the four debt collectors who had set up at their place."Are you serious about all this, Uncle?" Jack gave a frustrated look."Of course. Do or do not," James said.I smiled, actually still feeling surprised by everything James did. I never told him about the sad end of my relationship, but he seemed to know everything. He did me a great favor in front of Flona and her circle of friends.Did James actually know about what happened? He always defended me over Jack and his family."Come
