121: What If I Fall in Love With You?

Laura had said the way Lorenzo looked at her was different.Lisa claimed he had planned this for a long time.Even Xandra insisted he was completely gone for her.It felt like the whole world was saying Lorenzo liked her.If Anna were a teenage girl with a fluttering heart, she might have believed it without question.But she had seen the dark side of people. She had tasted betrayal. She knew how messy this world was. That was exactly why she had never considered the possibility that Lorenzo liked her.Her status in the Whitmore family had always been awkward. If he wanted a political marriage, even Patricia would bring him more advantage than she could.And she had once been Lucas’s girlfriend. No matter how you looked at it, it made no sense for a man to desire his nephew’s former lover.If she had any advantage at all, it was her face.And beauty was the most ordinary advantage in the world.There was never a shortage of beautiful women. Natural or enhanced, domestic or foreign, ev

122: How Should I Punish You, Anna?

His fingertips were warm, even through the thin layer of silk. Everywhere he touched, tremors followed.In the distance, Xandra’s voice rang out. “Anna, where did you go?”They were hidden behind the trellis, a wall of blooming roses shielding them from view.If they walked out now, it would be obvious what they had been doing.Even though Xandra knew they were married, Anna still didn’t want to corrupt her innocent little friend.Heart pounding, she pressed herself against Lorenzo’s chest. Her bandaged fingers hovered near her lips as she motioned for him to stay quiet.Lorenzo looked down at her sneaky, flustered expression and found it unbearably adorable.Instead of letting her go, he pushed her gently against the back of the trellis, one hand braced beside her head. He leaned close and murmured in her ear.“Scared?”Scared was an understatement. She was seconds from a heart attack. If Xandra walked around the corner—While her nerves were strung tight, his breath brushed her neck

123: The Clown Turned Out to Be Herself

Boom.The sky collapsed.One second ago, Lorenzo had just confessed his feelings. She could choose not to like him, but she could not get close to other men.The next second, Orlando casually revealed their childhood game of playing house.Anna did not even need to turn around to imagine how dark Lorenzo’s expression must be in the shadows.Forrest, ever the troublemaker, muttered gleefully, “Fight, fight.”Laura shoved a skewer of raw squid into his mouth. “Food still can’t shut you up?”Xandra blinked, chin in her hands, eyes sparkling. She loved male rivalry scenes. Was Lorenzo going to throw a punch?Only Patricia and Asher were completely out of sync.Patricia tugged at Asher’s sleeve. “They just played house as kids. Why is everyone acting like this?”Asher was still drowning in heartbreak. “She was so pure and sweet. How could she be that kind of woman? There has to be some misunderstanding.”Patricia sighed sincerely. “A love-brained man is truly hard to cure.”Time seemed to

124: I Have Needs Too

Lorenzo’s words struck Orlando straight through the heart.Forrest swirled his wine glass and shot Orlando a teasing look. “Finally said it. I was about to explode holding that in. If you didn’t, I would’ve.”“You don’t get it. It’s called romance,” Xandra grinned.Asher shot to his feet. “So all of you knew? I was the only idiot left in the dark? I even told Anna not to love me because there’d be no future. What kind of clown am I?”Clown?If anyone wore that title tonight, it was Orlando.He had just deliberately brought up the childhood “hubby” nickname—while the real husband stood right there.To his credit, Orlando recovered quickly. He stood and raised his glass. “I didn’t expect you to be married already, Anna. As your old classmate, I owe you a proper toast.”“Congratulations. I wish you happiness. I’ll definitely attend your wedding.”Forrest silently muttered, Impressive composure.Asher and Patricia both drank heavily—each nursing their own heartbreak.Inwardly, Orlando cur

125: The Show Begins

In the thick, humid mist of the bathroom, a sheen of moisture glazed Anna’s eyes. Her lips parted slightly, red and soft, like a temptress casting a silent spell.“Lorenzo…” she breathed.She felt like a single leaf in a torrential storm—tossed and turned by wave after wave crashing over her.When he finally carried her back to bed, the flush had yet to fade from her cheeks.They hadn’t gone all the way.He had only pleasured her.The wound along her inner thigh had just formed a scab. At a time like this, he wouldn’t touch her.She had lost herself completely in the moment—yet he had remained composed, almost divine in his restraint, controlling every shift in her emotions.His self-control was terrifying.The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom again, and her heart still refused to settle.How could Lorenzo possibly like her?She had assumed the first time was simple attraction. Now it seemed far more deliberate.When he returned to bed, cool droplets still clinging to h

126: She Wanted to Share It With Him

Poppy grabbed Lily’s hand. “Why even waste your time on someone like her? Just looking at her, you can tell she’s here to hook a rich guy. I feel dirty even talking about her.”“True… but doesn’t she look a little familiar?” Lily frowned.After thinking for a moment, she decided it was probably because the girl vaguely resembled Anna.How unlucky. She couldn’t escape that woman’s shadow anywhere.After kneeling for a full day and night, she had fallen seriously ill and lost a lot of weight. She was still simmering with resentment.Poppy squeezed her arm. “Are you really going to catch Lucas cheating? In our circle, not just the men—women play around too. If he has someone on the side, that’s normal. You’re not even legally married yet. If you make a scene, you’ll be the one embarrassed. And if you ruin this engagement, what do you gain?”Lily watched Lucas boarding the cruise ship, helplessness flickering in her eyes.“I’m not planning to cause a scene. I heard he had a girlfriend in

127: The Playground of the Ultra Rich

Anna might have been the eldest daughter of the Whitmore family, but after ten she had been on her own. She made her own money. She built her own path. Places like this, built purely for indulgence, were not part of her routine.She knew luxury cruises were impressive. She did not expect something this unreal.Every detail shimmered with money. Not flashy, not vulgar. Just absolute, effortless power.The owner of the ship was said to be untouchable. Influential enough that both the underworld and the elite political circles gave him space.Even among the wealthy, there were tiers.And whoever owned this vessel clearly stood at the very top.Out on the endless sea, the garden felt like a floating oasis. The ship swayed gently beneath her feet. It almost felt like walking on air.No one else was here besides her and Maurice. The quiet was almost sacred.“You can have some afternoon tea here if you like, Mrs. Caldwell. It’s peaceful.”“All right.”Beyond the garden lay an infinity pool,

128 Angels or Demons

No wonder Lorenzo said he would arrive later. The ship had already left the harbor. How else would he board?Because this was his ship.He could come home whenever he pleased.Anna had worked for over a decade and still could not touch even the edge of Lorenzo’s world. Things she once chased desperately were now placed in her hands simply because she married the right man.It felt like standing on clouds.Beautiful. Weightless. Unstable.Love was intangible. Today he could adore her. Tomorrow, who knew?The privileges he gave her now could just as easily be handed to another woman someday.Only what she secured for herself would ever be real.She needed to hold on to him.Her mind drifted. Had he once stood exactly where she stood now, high above the crowd, watching everyone below like pieces on a board?Like a god deciding who won and who lost.This ship did not operate in daylight. It ran in the shadows.A floating money furnace. Underground casinos generated profit at terrifying sp

129 Stop Filming. Please Stop

Not wanting to disrupt the stores’ business, Anna slipped toward the stairwell instead of taking the elevator. She planned to head upstairs quietly.This section of the ship was oddly deserted. Most guests used the elevators. Even the lights in the stairwell had gone out, left unrepaired.Only the glowing green “Emergency Exit” sign cut through the darkness, casting an eerie light down the narrow space.A chill crept up her spine.She turned to go back.An arm shot out of nowhere and yanked her inside.Before she could react, the stairwell door slammed shut behind her.Darkness swallowed them.She was shoved against the wall.The man holding her was tall. His breathing was heavy. Too heavy.His body pressed tight against hers. Heat radiated through the thin fabric between them.Anna forced herself to stay calm.Money or sex?Or one of those thrill-seekers who liked danger in dark corners?His palm slid up her waist. His breath brushed her neck, hot and uneven.“Let go,” she snapped qu

130: You don’t think I’ve been giving it my all before, do you?

Anna watched the footage on the monitor, seeing Michelle’s disgrace. The woman looked utterly pathetic, a far cry from the arrogant tone she had used when calling Anna earlier.Anna wondered, was Michelle regretting calling her an old woman now?Her compassion had died long ago, the day her mother passed when Anna was ten. With no one to protect her, Anna had armored herself, becoming prickly, a woman no one could touch without consequence.In this life, she despised nothing more than the third party who destroys someone’s relationship.She spoke coldly, "Maurice, once the video is out, make sure you push it along.""Understood, Madam."Moments later, a local video surfaced online."Warning: This woman is notorious for cheating. Caught in the act by her original partner, be careful who you trust."As she continued watching, Anna’s phone buzzed with a call from Xandra, her voice practically bubbling with excitement."Anna! You won’t believe what I just saw! Asher’s ex was caught red-ha
