"Did you have dinner yet, my little Lina?" Lawrence asked the second Lina picked up the phone. "Don't tell me you called just to ask me that, Grandfather," Lina mused whilst taking a seat on her bed. "Hmph, always grandfather and never grandpa," Lawrence grumbled, shifting in his office chair to get more comfortable. His gaze landed upon his eldest son, the current chairman of Yang Enterprise, who was pouring himself his daily dosage of vitamins. "I still do not understand why you've grown out…-

When Lina got into the car, she was contemplating her conversation with Kaden. Once again, Kaden had left her with more questions. He was a mysterious and secretive man who revealed the smallest details that left people wanting more. Lina sighed. ?? "So much for staying away from him…" Lina mumbled to herself. Each time Lina tried to distance herself from him, he magically shows up. Was this enormous city that small? Ritan was known as the global port city in the past, where every export and…

Lina's heart dropped to her stomach. She didn't know what to say. She already knew the truth, but hearing it from his mouth was much more different. Especially when she knew how he acquired it. Almost as if sensing her detachment, Kaden tightened his arms around her, pulling her even closer against his body. ?? "Do not be hurt when you asked for the truth with your own mouth," Kaden reminded her, his voice low and warning. Lina tightened her grip on his shirt, suddenly wanting to leave. But she…

Kaden simply glanced at her. His face and gaze implied nothing. There was only a slight glimmer of amusement. He tilted his head and stared into her clear eyes, where he could see his own reflection within them. "And if I am immortal?" Kaden shot back. ?? "I wouldn't be surprised," Lina seethed. Kaden let out a soft laugh. So, she was still hurt by memories. Memories that she spun herself, lies that she uttered to comfort herself, and moments she refused to hear his explanation. Kaden shook his…

"So," Isabelle began, taking a good look at the expensive interior of the car. From the leather seats to the tinted windows, this vehicle was even more luxurious than the one her Father rode in, and he was an A-list actor! "Who owns this car?" Isabelle asked, turning to Lina who had been silent for a while. ?? "You wouldn't want to know," Lina said. Lina let out a quiet sigh and wished she had brought her chauffeur instead. That way, she wouldn't have to owe people favors. Especially favors to…

"Oh my god, look at that woman, Lina, she's stunning!" Isabelle nudged her close friend. Isabelle was left speechless at how beautiful the woman standing at the end of the carpet was. ?? "But she looks so familiar…" Isabelle trailed off, her eyes glued to the blonde. It wasn't a surprise, given the adoring glances shifting her way. "What are the odds that the two men you've been photographed with shows up at the same place as you?" Isabelle added on, her lips tugging into a grin. Her sharp nose…

Everett diligently glanced at the ring selections in front of him, his brows taunt with concentration. There were all sorts of beautiful gemstones that'd suit Lina's lovely fingers. He didn't know what size she was, but everything can always be altered. Everett could practically feel the crowd's gaze on him. A few people had gathered outside of the heavily guarded store, excitedly whispering amongst themselves. Flashes went off behind him, and he knew there were paparazzi taking photos. ?? "Would you…

The driver only had a second to contemplate the idea before he noticed two black cars pulling up in front of him and behind him. Men in black stepped out of the car, their attention drawn to him. Instantly, he unlocked the door and offered her a tight smile. "No charge, this ride is on the house," the driver told her. ?? Lina quirked a brow and exited the car. She made eye contact with one of the bodyguards and gave a curt nod. "Whoever pays him will get a bonus," Lina stated. At the mention of…

When Lina walked outside, she noticed a car was already parked outside for her. "Young Miss," the chauffeur politely greeted, taking off his black cap and bowing at the sight of the esteemed woman. ?? "Thank you," Lina gratefully said when he opened the door for her and she got in. The chauffeur was touched by her words, but dared to not voice it. In this entire house, only she would thank him for his services. "Where shall we go?" The chauffeur asked as he slipped on his seatbelt. The…

Lina always wondered why her grandfather despised her mother, Evelyn. It had happened for as long as Lina could remember. Her mother had been the epitome of a filial daughter-in-law, doing everything she could to please the in-laws, but nothing in this world worked. When Lina was a child, she had asked her grandfather, and he simply told her it was "adult business." Now, when she was an adult, he'd tell her it was "private business." ?? Lost in thought, Lina felt a buzz in her pockets. She pulled it…
