Riya walked in those 15-centimeter high heels underneath with all her might. It was tough. She reached out to Alex and held onto his hand. Her heart was racing in her chest. She was happy, nervous, and anxious all at the same time.Alex held her hand, grounding her racing heart. His large hands squeezed and grabbed her small delicate hands in his clutch. He was holding her tightly, giving her warmth. Even though he looked aloof, Riya could we the love and care he had for her in his small gestures.It was this attitude of his that melted her heart. She willingly gave her heart to this man; Riya was sure that he would cherish and love her till her death.He as waited for her approval even though they were already promised to each other. He never forced her to do something she was unwilling to do. Riya never thought she would fall in love with this guy. And now she was here waiting to get married to the same man.The ceremony was tedious and too nerve-wracking that she couldn’t care abou

At the house,Christian left briefly after staying for some time during the house tour. He looked somewhat distracted the whole time, and he seemed stressed when he left. Jenny couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Christian doesn't even have the time to accompany her, maybe that's why he invited Charles so that she won't feel lonely staying in this big house.After Christian leaves, Charles patiently gives Jenny a house tour, the pool area included. He finally shows Jenny to her room on the first floor. “My room is right down the hallway if you need anything,” Charles says, and Jenny nodes her head with a some, in gratefulness yet again.Jenny has been cautious ever since she arrived in the city to their pack. She knows that it is unlikely that the Ford family will make her disappear overnight.She was just being paranoid over the fact that she had come alone to the unknown pack.Her grandfather had promised her that the Ford family would give her the protection she needed here. No

That afternoon at the wedding, after showing Elizabeth Golden Orchid, Christian finally arrived to meet his friend.He took Elizabeth with him, and they entered the venue together with a Fournier. While walking, the two of them conversed in a different language, and Christian even explained the conversation to Elizabeth simultaneously. “I have chosen three shows to watch over these few days. There’s no need to watch any of the other shows. We’ll spend the remaining time having fun.”“Yes. Whatever you say.”Christian had planned an entire thing to spend with Elizabeth.“That’s a good girl. When this ends, I’ll take all of you to eat something delicious. We can then go and visit my children.”After that, people continued to stream in to attend the after-wedding party.Along with Christian, Elizabeth attended the party. She even saw Vanessa at the after-party since she was not present at the wedding she was attending after wedding party.She was sitting just opposite Elizabeth. When sh

"sis- sister-in-law?" Jenny's mind blanked for a second before she registered what she heard."but- wasn't she dead?"Charles frowned; his facial muscles tightened as he clenched his jaw. "is that what your grandpa said?""No, your grandpa said that," Jenny said.A shadow cast on Charles's face and fear crept into jenny's heart. She knew what she saw now was real, not her imagination like before. Charles was not the harmless man he looked to be.Jenny took a step back, and Charles moved a step forward. "it doesn't matter who told you what. You shouldn't have done what you did when Christian was here."Jenny regretted it now. she shouldn't have acted out of jealousy. The way Charles looked at Elizabeth and a genuinely happy smile stung her harder than she anticipated. She stayed with him for three days, and every smile she received from Charles never met his eyes. But she was fine until she saw how Christian, her soon-to-be husband, was running chores for that woman. She thought he wa

Charles had always been a light sleeper. When he was just 13, his father had him trained to be someone like that.Who'd even know if he was being attacked in the dead of night?To be someone who is always ready to defend himself. A killing machine even when doused in sleep. That is how Charles has grown up all these years.So when he hears the tiniest bit of sound coming from inside his room, he immediately wakes up, putting his hand under his pillow to get his knife.Confusion settles in when he finds it empty."Looking for this?" A familiar voice asks, and Charles turns around, surprised."Jenny. Hi." Charles says, still sitting on the bed.Jenny, who's leaning against the wall of Charles's room, and who's twirling his knife around her finger, walks out of the shadows and walks towards him."Hey there. It's been a while, Charles.""It sure has been.""You thought I went back to my hometown?" Jenny asks next, a smile blooming on her face just like Charles's does, both of them smiling
