Lina turned her head in time to see a single man. When they made eye contact through his camera lens, he ran for his life. "Oh no you don't!" Lina growled. Despite wearing heels, Lina sprinted after him. The man was quick. He showed no mercy to a woman running in heels. Instead, he was wild enough to run through the rushing traffic. She was just as crazy. Once they crossed to a different sidewalk, she took off one of her heels, aimed, and threw it. The heel hit him on the head. He stumbled and she…-

Lina made up her mind to formulate a plan. It would be near impossible, but she had faith in herself. With the file as leverage, she could make anyone yield to her. With power comes great responsibilities. Many would turn on her if she used it as blackmail. Once the Leclare firm was eliminated, she'd be next if she possessed the file. But what if she could use the file deletion as a means of being in everyone's good grace? "How's the food?" Atlantis commented. Lina snapped out of her thoughts. She…

Atlantis was the first to arrive at the restaurant. The location was in the heart of Ritan, at one of the highest skyscrapers in the entire city. Well, there was a glaring one even taller than this, not far away. DeHaven Corporation. From his seat, Atlantis had a good view of the company. DeHaven Corporation's headquarters were dubbed "the building that touched heaven." It was so high up, Atlantis pitied the engineers. Seated in the most secluded part of the restaurant, Atlantis relaxed and took…

Kaden's face darkened. He said nothing, but motioned for her to answer. Lina shakily glanced from the hand in between her legs, and then, back to her phone. "Hello?" Lina picked up hesitantly. Kaden didn't feel the need to be jealous. He was confident in his abilities. Confident he'd keep her. Thus, he showed no shame in fingering her during the phone call. Again. Kaden's lips curled upwards. She was such a darling for wearing a dress today. He slowly stroked his hand up her skirt.. "What?"…

Kaden didn't think he'd fall asleep so quickly. As a Pure-Blood, sleep wasn't a necessity. They could go a full week without a blink. Only after that, would they feel mild exhaustion. Thus, he was startled to wake up. He was even more shocked to feel the empty bed beside him. He expected her warmth. Her softness.? And when he felt icy coldness, his eyes snapped open. Kaden frantically glanced at the spot where she should've been. The blanket was tucked neatly, as if no one had laid there in the first…

Lina knew herself well. She was the kind of person to never get attached to something. She couldn't. When she developed an attachment towards someone, she wasn't able to think straight. It was why she had very few close friends, except for Isabelle and Atlantis. Growing up in a house dominated by? men, Lina realized the more she became invested in something, the more they wanted it gone. When Lawrence grew fond of Rina, everything concerning her drove him insane. When her father was attracted to her…

Lina woke up in a cold sweat. She shot upright, her eyes shaking from the trauma. She was unable to speak. Her hands couldn't stop trembling. She reminded herself that it was just a dream. Just a nightmare. That was all. With a quivering head, she turned to see the bed was empty. Lina's heart fell. In her moment of weakness, all she wanted was warmth and comfort. But the other end of the bed was cold. She bit back her pain and tried to lay back down. Then, she heard it.. "...why would he need…

Reality was harsh, but destiny was harsher. Despite falling asleep in the arms of her lover, Lina woke up in a nightmare. When she opened her eyes, the scenery was familiar. Serendipity School of Success. Krystal was right. More like School of Snakes. "Look, there's our resident piggie!" "What noise does the piggie make?" Laughter erupted in the hallways. A kid pushed her nose up, their cruel giggling taunting the young girl on the floor. Lina froze in the middle of the lunchroom.. With a small…

Shortly after dragging her to the edge of the bed, he moved her closer to the center. She thought they were going to cuddle and call it a day. Surely, after working and picking her up, he'd be tired? Wrong. Lina had forgotten his stamina was unmatched. His thirst was insatiable. His body was strong and muscular. He knew no limits. He possessed no physical weakness. Lina thought his thirst would disappear after the first round. But it only stirred his desire further.. "Kaden…" Lina trailed…

When Lina went upstairs, she found the bedroom empty. She predicted Kaden must've been in his office. He arrived at the celebration, despite telling her he wouldn't come. She wondered if he came in a rush. Wordlessly, Lina took off her dress and went into the shower. Afterwards, she drew herself a bath and slid in. When the hot water touched her skin, she let out a groan.. Her feet were aching from her high heels and her shoulders were tense from the celebration's atmosphere. The water felt good on…
