《The Doctor Who Loves Me》 Chapter 1 - The Witch Doctor "That Xander Yang! How dare he build his hospital in that area! How did he even manage to get that land from the old lady, anyway?" Yera barked at her secretary. She had been dying to get that piece of land. But the old lady who owned it had been refusing to sell, even though she had approached her with multiple lucrative offers. The Yangs were the owners of the Yang Global Hospitals. They were also her family''s longtime rival. She had just found out that Old Master Yang, the Chairman of the Yang Global Hospitals, had recently appointed his firstborn son to be the new Chief Executive Officer of their group. She had never met Xander Yang in person, but she had already heard so much about him. He was quite a well-known figure to most; not for his achievements in the healthcare industry, but more for his stellar reputation of being a womanizer. As the rumors said, he was known to swap his girlfriends as often as he changed his socks. "Don''t tell me he has already added that old lady to his list of conquest!?" Yera sneered with a tightness in her voice. Shan gulped. She was hesitant to say something or anything at all because her boss really had a bad temper. She might have looked youthful and innocent on the outside because of her pretty baby-faced look, but behind that facade, she was actually a scary monster. Yes, she was Yera Han, who was widely known as the ''Witch Doctor'' who had saved hundreds of lives. They called her by that nickname because it was said that she could conjure magic to heal any patients whom she was in charge of. But those who had interacted with her directly had drawn their own conclusion. They firmly believed that the nickname was created because of her being a total witch to everyone around her. Yera looked at Shan impatiently. She was obviously waiting for an answer from her secretary. Shan cleared her throat and said, "Ma''am, from what I heard, Mr. Xander Yang is someone with a silver-tongue. He can be quite the sweet-talker. The old lady was moved by his way of words, and hence was easily persuaded." Yera scowled at Shan as her face reddened. She fumed, "So, are you saying that I don''t know how to talk nicely? Or that I''m difficult to talk to? Not even good with words? That''s why I have failed to convince the old lady?" "No, no, Ma''am, that''s not what I meant at all. What I meant was that Xander Yang is someone with a lot of charm. He''s smooth-spoken and glib... uses a lot of flowery words, and¡­" Shan quickly replied, trying to placate her boss, but she decided to pause because the more she listened to her own words, the more Shan thought that she was digging her own grave. "So, I lack the charm? Is that so, Shan? And do I use harsh-sounding words because I don''t know how to use flowery words?" Yera scoffed as she squinted an eye accusingly. She wanted that piece of land so desperately and found it hard to accept that she had lost the opportunity to obtain it, not from just anyone, but from their very own rival. Shan sighed silently. She didn''t dare tell her boss that she was just too rigid. The way she talked had always been without emotion and matter-of-factly, like a robot. Miss Yera rarely smiled and had never bothered to put on the pretense of being subtle at all. She always preferred to be frank and to the point. It was no wonder that she had failed to get the old lady''s approval. From what she had gathered, Shan knew that Xander Yang did not start his negotiation with the old lady by talking about business straight away. He had waited patiently until he had succeeded in building a good rapport with her before he even dared raise the real subject of interest. In the end, he had won the old lady''s partiality, and she was more than willing to sell him the land. "Get out, Shan, before I reduce your bonus for this year," said Yera in a menacing voice. Yera didn''t need any more explanations from Shan to know why she had failed the negotiation. She could already tell, by merely looking at Shan''s reaction. Her mobile phone rang; it was Lyndon, her fiance. She drew out a long breath. Lyndon was the fiance whom her family had selected for her. Their families had been close friends for many years, and they had arranged for their children to marry each other. He wanted to meet her to celebrate her birthday together. He knew that she hated parties and would prefer to celebrate it alone with him. ...... Yera and Lyndon enjoyed their exclusive dinner in his yacht together. They had been engaged for almost one year but had not shared any intimate moments yet. It was because she had never wanted to do it. Whenever Lyndon would take the initiative, she would always refuse him. She was grateful that he had still been understanding and respectful of her wish. It was already late, and the stars were shining brightly in the sky. Yera was standing by the railing of the yacht when she felt Lyndon hug her from behind. "Aren''t you cold?" Lyndon asked as he kissed her bare shoulder before covering it with his blazer. "A little bit¡­ By the way, did you get a new cook?" She whispered. "Yeah, the usual one is currently on leave¡­ Why? Didn''t you like the food?" Lyndon asked. "I liked it. I just noticed that it was not your usual cook." Yera answered, and she heard Lyndon chuckle. "What?" She asked, slightly confused. "Nothing, I just find it amusing that you''ve managed to take notice of how different the food tasted, but you failed to see the romantic ambiance of the room," Lyndon replied. Yera detected a hint of sullen moodiness in his voice, so she turned around to face him and smiled. But she felt dizzy all of a sudden and the last thing she knew was that she and Lyndon had both fallen onto the ground. Everything went pitch-black in an instant, but she was still in her senses. "They blacked out already. Hurry and take the woman!" a man''s voice said. "What should we do about the man?" asked another voice. "Leave him here. We will only take the woman as instructed, so hurry," the man answered. Yera felt her body being lifted off the ground. She wanted to scream and struggle, but she couldn''t move at all. ''Is this my end? No, it can''t be! I''m still young, and I don''t want to die like this!'' That was the last thing that she had thought to herself before the drug in her body had completely taken over and made her slump into unconsciousness. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL site only.

She could hear male voices, and they were in the middle of a discussion about something. "Such a waste to kill a cute lady like her," said one man. "Too bad they have instructed us not to touch even a single strand of her hair. Otherwise, it would have been fun to play with her a bit before we kill her. But now we just have to wait, dude," said another one, followed by a crazy laughter. "Did you manage to make a cute video of her?" asked another one. Yera''s face paled in horror as realization dawned upon her that this was not a dream. This was real. She had really been abducted. She quickly tried to loosen the duct tape on her wrists. She must find a way to escape. "Yes, we got her. What do you want me to do next? Alright, I understand," she heard another man speak. She presumed he was talking to the person who was behind her abduction. "Let me go! What do you want? Is it money? I will give you three times the amount they''re paying you. Or you can name your price, just let me go," she spoke louder, making sure she was heard. "Shut up, another word, and we will kill you!" A man shouted. A few hours later¡­. "I need to pee!" Yera shouted. She felt a hand abruptly pull her up and lead her to walk. "You have to remove my blindfold and untie me!" She hissed. Then the voice which she had confirmed to belong to the leader of the group said, "Just do what she asked, she can never escape anyway." "Do it fast, or I''ll barge in without a warning, milady," the man jeered after he removed her blindfold and ripped the duct tape off her wrists with a knife. In a sudden surge of anger, Yera''s face reddened and her muscles tensed, but she managed to control herself. Inside the restroom, she quickly checked the blazer that Lyndon had put on her. And she almost jumped for joy when she saw a keychain knife attached to the car keys inside the blazer''s pocket. She took it out and clipped it inside the back of her tight slack pants where she could easily pull it out if needed. "Time''s up!" the man shouted and barged in. He taped her wrists together and put the blindfold on her again. Several hours had passed, and the surroundings had become quiet. Except for the loud sounds of snoring, Yera could not hear anything else. She immediately sat herself up and pulled the keychain knife out from the back of her pants and tried to slit the tape that was binding her wrists with it. She made sure to be careful enough not to make a sound. After she succeeded in freeing her hands, she removed the blindfold and moved furtively to look for an exit. She was right, three men had passed out drunk on the floor. She noticed that one man was missing because she was sure she heard four distinctive voices before. She became alert. With trembling body, she tried to walk as quietly as possible. She knew that the missing man was probably just roaming around the place. She succeeded in getting out, but it was too dark. Then she heard shouts and pursuing footsteps from behind her. "Get her! Move!!!" Yera dashed as fast as she could. She felt as though she was running in an endless forest of trees and darkness. She fell and tripped several times but hurriedly got back up. She heard gunshots from behind. Bang! Bang! And she fell. She felt a burning pain in her body, but she ignored it and continued her speed, but then she tripped once more¡­ "No, I won''t die like this!" She clenched her teeth and got back up to run again. Bang! Bang! Bang! The banging sounds roared in her ears, but she did not stop. Even if she slipped and staggered, and had to drag herself through the rugged terrain, she never stopped. She always got up and ran again. It was so dark. But all that was on Yera''s mind was to keep running until she got away from those men. She didn''t even notice that she was already near a mountain river. Her breathing was ragged, and she was limping slowly. She could feel that her legs were giving up on her, but she tried to run even faster. She could smell her own blood mixed with the musty and earthy scent of the river. "It''s so cold," she murmured. She felt the stinging of her wounds, as the cold covered her now soaked body, both from water and blood. "Oh God, please spare me and let me live," she prayed silently as she continued to move forward because she could still hear the loud voices nearing from behind. They were all shouting at her to stop, or they will shoot. "Darn those bastards! Aren''t they already shooting at me?" She hissed scornfully. She never stopped and continued to move. Based on what she heard during their conversations, she knew they would kill her anyway, once their big boss succeeded with his plan. Someone influential and close was behind her abduction, and his target must have been their family business. "Once I survive this, I will make sure to hunt you down, whoever you are!" She was already too weak to proceed, but she knew she must keep going. ''I have to survive this! I must live! Yera, you must survive and live!'' She raised her own morale before she totally passed out and fell down a waterfall. "F*uck! F*uck!" cursed the man who had reached the end of the river to look at Yera''s body that had fallen down the waterfall. "Boss, what do we do now...? We will be dead meat because of this mess," the man who had fired the gun at Yera stammered. "You bunch of idiots! Who told you all to sleep at the same time! Boneheads!" The leader bellowed with a look of undiluted fury. Then without warning, he shot the three men in front of him. Chapter 3 - Deyna She could hear the chirping of the birds through the window when she opened her eyes. She looked at the nipa hut above her. Everything seemed unfamiliar to her. She stirred and then moved to get up. "Ouch!" She cried as she felt a sharp pain in her body. Her head was pounding, and she felt a little dizzy. She blinked several times and looked around. She slowly stood up and walked outside. There were so many trees, and the warm and gentle breeze blowing from those trees touched her smooth and pale face. "You''re finally awake, child," said an old man, who was walking towards her. He stood in front of her and held her wrist to feel her pulse. "It''s finally normal. You will soon be back in good shape. It''s a miracle that you woke up," The old man said with a smile. "I''m the Chief Doctor in this village. You can call me Chief Doctor Song. What is your name, child? You were severely injured and barely breathing when I found you. You were unconscious for two weeks," Doctor Song explained. "I¡­ hmm I am¡­ sorry but I don''t know. I don''t remember my name... Ahhh¡­" she stammered and touched her temple unconsciously as she felt a sudden jolt of pain in her head. Doctor Song creased his forehead and stared at her. "It could be because of the hit you got on your head¡­ Tell me, child, what about the last thing that happened to you? Do you remember?" Doctor Song asked, and she just gently shook her head. Doctor Song later tested her on fundamental things. She was asked about letters and numbers, if she knew how to write and read, if she knew the current year, if she knew the name of several objects. He also asked other questions with regards to matters of common sense. After he helped her to a hearty meal, Doctor Song explained, "You are suffering from amnesia, child. But it seems like your knowledge about basic things remained intact. You only lost part of your memories about your own life. There are many types of amnesia, but for now, I will observe how you progress." Doctor Song saw the confusion and frustration on her face. "Hmm, don''t worry, child. You have escaped death so you will overcome this predicament too. For now, let me give you a name. You can also use my surname, and meanwhile, I can adopt you until you remember anything. You can also stay with me if you want," He suggested as he looked at her with a tender smile. She smiled back, but unlike his, hers was a soulless smile. Not knowing about her past made her feel incomplete. But even more importantly, she was puzzled at the fact that she was found unconscious on a riverbank. She was on the brink of death from the fall and a gunshot wound. Why? How? Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden excitement in Doctor Song''s voice as he proposed a name for her, "How about I call you ''Deyna''?" Her lips curled into a smile, and she whispered, "Deyna¡­ I like it." ........... Xander was watching the headlines of the news. The trending news was about the missing heiress of the Life Hospitals Group and the sudden hospitalization of Old Master Han. "This is total chaos for their group since Old Master Han and Yera Han have both held the highest positions and own most of the company''s shares. I believe her fiance''s family will take over since the Chu''s are the next biggest shareholders," his assistant said. Xander''s eyebrows arched, "Don''t you think something is really odd? Why would they leave that Chu guy behind? He''s also loaded, right?" Assistant Ron scratched his head. He had also thought about it, but until the official investigation was finished, everything was just a speculation. Both men were startled by an abrupt opening of the door. It was Senior Yang with a gloomy and darkened face directed at Xander. "Leave us!" he shouted at Assistant Ron. The latter quickly obeyed. The young master would surely receive a massive sermon this time, and he would still have left the room even if Senior Yang didn''t instruct him to. "When will you stop? Dammit, Xander! How many women are you planning to be in a scandal with? You date a different girl every week. For goodness sake!" Hissed Senior Yang. Xander rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, what do you want me to do? You''re the one who asked for this! You keep saying you want a grandchild! ''Get married,'' you said! ''Continue the family line,'' you said! But to do that, I need to find the right woman that would¡­ Darn!" Xander couldn''t even finish the sentence. How could he prolong dating any of those women or embark on a romantic journey with them, when his stupid little buddy down there wouldn''t even salute to any of them. Yes, he had a very unique and a very unexplainable disease. What he had was what various doctors termed as a ''SELECTIVE erectile dysfunction''. How absurd, you might say? Yes, It was indeed as absurd as it might sound! Because even the doctors could not explain why he was experiencing such a thing when everything about him was perfectly normal. All the tests were normal. Xander was perfectly healthy. So how come his little buddy refused to act just as how the little buddy of a perfectly normal and healthy man was supposed to work? "Dad, I told you none of those women could make it work. I''m very frustrated too! Being labeled as a playboy when I barely even touched any of those women," Xander protested. Senior Yang sighed as he desperately implored his son, "Can''t you at least tone it down? Or do everything discreetly? For goodness sake, most of those women come from prominent families, and some are well-known for their own careers, so of course, people will talk! What else do you expect?" Xander sighed and murmured, "Maybe I should just stay single forever, Dad. What do you think? Let''s stop the lineage with me..." Senior Yang''s jaws hardened, and his face reddened when he saw a wicked grin plastered on his son''s face as he said those words. He threw whatever he could grab at Xander. "You rascal! You dare!? I will disown you! No, I will end the lineage myself by killing you!" Chapter 4 - He Looked Sick Deyna noticed that many people from the village came to the mountain to see Chief Doctor Song. She could tell that he was a good doctor and impressive on top of that. She assisted him with the things he needed while looking after the patients. A little girl entered, but Chief Doctor Song excused himself for a while. The little girl with her mother smiled at her and gushed, "Big Sis, you''re so pretty." Deyna responded with a "Thank you." She noticed the patches on the little girl''s skin, so she automatically felt her pulse. Then she turned her head to her mother and asked, "Did she have a fever before and if yes, how many times?" The mother thought about it for a while and answered, "She has a fever for a week, it would come for a day then it stopped. And it''s been persisting like that, on and off." She studied the little girl''s skin¡­ "What is it, Deyna?" Doctor Song asked when he came back and saw Deyna examining the little girl thoroughly like an expert. "Chief Song, she has symptoms of Dengue Fever, " Deyna said confidently. Chief Doctor Song had been observing Deyna for days. The girl was very knowledgeable and well versed with the medical terms, so he presumed she was a Physician. She also knew a lot about medicines and even herbs. Days passed by, and Deyna had adjusted well. Her wounds were almost healed, and she enjoyed helping the Chief Doctor. She was also learning a lot from Chief Doctor Song with regards to medical matters. "Why are you here, Chief? I mean you are surely a great doctor, and I''m sure you''ll make a name if you practice in the city instead," asked Deyna out of curiosity. Chief Doctor Song smiled at her and signaled her to sit beside him. "There''s a story behind it, child, but if you are willing to listen, then I will tell you," said Chief Doctor Song. Deyna was too curious, so she answered, "Yes, tell me the whole story, Chief." Deyna was astonished when the Chief Doctor told her his story. He was hiding from certain people. Months passed by smoothly, but Deyna''s memory had not come back. It was almost a year, and there was still no progress. The worst part was that Chief Doctor Song, who had almost become like a father for her, had fallen ill and only had a short time to live. Deyna cried hard¡­ But she knew there was not much hope in Chief Doctor Song''s condition. ...¡­ One day, a visitor came. It was Rigs Ken, the head of the Ken Family, whom Chief Doctor Song had been waiting for. Chief Doctor Song was an essential person to the Ken Family as he was the key person in solving their family''s trials. Only then they could move forward and start living freely. She hid behind the door and quietly cried while she listened to how Chief Doctor Song entrusted her in the protection of the Ken Family. She couldn''t take it anymore and ran inside to hug Chief Doctor Song. "Please, come with us..." she pleaded. But Chief Doctor Song just smiled at her and said, "It''s alright, child. You know how I love this place, and there''s nothing more I could ask for but to die in this place. This is my home." Deyna was crying hard, and with a stammering voice, she said, "I will stay with you till the end then. I will not leave, I''ll stay here!" Chief Doctor Song creased his forehead and said, "Don''t be stubborn, my child, and let this old man leave in peace, okay? Please, leave and find yourself. Follow the wish of this old man, will you? You''re a strong woman, so keep on living. The Kens will help you. Also, you need to get out of here, meet people, and go to various places that can help you remember your past." "You can make me happy if you follow my plea, child. So please obey me and follow my wish," added Chief Doctor Song who was now crying too. .... Deyna looked inside the Ken''s Mansion, she felt the familiar ambiance of the place though she couldn''t remember exactly the same thing. ''Why do I feel like I have lived in a big mansion before?'' She mused as she looked around. She was introduced to the rest of the family by Old Master Ken. "Feel at home, Deyna, and don''t hesitate to ask anyone in the family about anything. Arya, please help Deyna to settle in her room. From now on, this will be your new home. And don''t worry, we will help you with everything you need," said Old Master Ken, whom Chief Doctor Song had entrusted her safety with. Everybody was so friendly to her, especially Old Master Ken''s daughters-in-law who entertained her well. "It''s decided, Deyna will come with us tonight so we can introduce her to Bernard," Arya, Old Master Ken''s second grandson''s wife, said with a wink. Deyna gave them a timid smile. "Gosh, you are so quiet. We won''t bite you, so please talk to us freely," Denise, the wife of Old Master Ken''s eldest grandson, said, smiling. They reached the helipad and entered a helicopter, so Deyna asked, "Where are we going?" "We are going to Bro Ryu''s Island. It''s a private island, and Arya said it''s a lovely place," answered Denise. After an hour, they reached the island, and true enough, it was remarkable. They arrived before sundown, and the sunset was so pretty to watch. She looked at the three lovely couples before her. The three Kens with their wives looked so lovely. "Hey, stop being so lovey-dovey, guys, and have mercy on Deyna," Dean, Old Master Ken''s third grandson said in dramatic jest when he noticed how Deyna was blushing as she looked at Arya and Ryu. Then a man appeared and told Ryu that Bernard''s helicopter had already landed. "Guys, I''ll just go and pick him," Ryu said before he left. After a few minutes, Ryu was back with a man. When she looked at him, Deyna''s heart skipped a beat. For the first time from the moment she opened her eyes in Doctor Song''s house, she felt something weird. She felt timider than her usual self, and she couldn''t look straight at him. His eyes were exquisite and expressive, and his lips were perfectly curved. ''What''s wrong with me?'' She pondered. The feeling was new to her. Ryu introduced her to Bernard and said, "Bernard, this is Deyna, my cousin. Deyna, this is Bernard, our friend." "Hi," greeted Bernard as he extended his hand. Deyna let out a shy smile and accepted Bernard''s hand. ''Something is wrong with his face. He looks sick,'' Deyna thought to herself as she stared at Bernard''s pale face. Chapter 5 - I Love You Things began to develop fast between Deyna and Bernard, the CEO of Cooper Entertainment, and soon enough, they got engaged. "Bernard, what if I come from a bad family, or what if I was a bad person before? Remember, I had gunshot wounds when Chief Doctor Song found me." Deyna expressed her concerns as they were watching the grand private wedding of the Kens'' bachelors. Bernard looked at Deyna lovingly and pinched her cheeks. "You''re so cute that I don''t care about your past. So, don''t worry because this man loves you too much to abandon you for your background. I care for nothing else but to be with you for the rest of my life," Bernard said and kissed her cheek that made Deyna blush hard. Bernard just loved Deyna''s bashful reaction to his every word. He narrowed his eyes and stared directly at her and added, "I think you put a potion in the herbs you kept on giving me. Tell me honestly, hon, you have mixed a love potion there, haven''t you? To blind me with my love for you?" Deyna gently punched his chest and murmured, "Stop teasing me!" Bernard laughed and hugged her. Next week the two of them were also going to enter the altar of matrimony. "Hon, tomorrow I will introduce you to my closest cousin. I will tell you now that he and I look so much alike that we are often mistaken as twins. He is a doctor too, but he''s a quack doctor, unlike you, hahaha," said Bernard laughing. Deyna pouted her lips and murmured, "I''m considered a quack doctor too, you know. I don''t even know if I''m a legitimate doctor." "Nah, you have saved Ryu Ken''s life. You were the only doctor who managed to bring him back to life. I told you that we can have your background investigated, but you always refuse. I still think it''s important to know your past, Deyna," Bernard said in an earnest tone. "But I''m afraid, Bernard. Besides, I''m happy for who I am and what I have right now," Deyna said, smiling. She couldn''t ask for more, having Bernard by her side and the Ken Family who treated her as one of theirs, she was happy. "By the way, what''s your cousin''s name? I hope he likes me since he''s your closest cousin," Deyna asked. She was excited to get to know another member of Bernard''s family. "Hmm¡­ Everybody will like you, hon, so just be yourself. He is the closest one to me because he always protects me. He''s like a protective brother. He''s just a little bit older than me. I''m not sure if you have heard about him. He is the CEO of Yang Global Hospitals, Xander Yang." Bernard said. ''Xander Yang?'' She repeated inwardly. Weird, the name sounded so familiar to her, but she couldn''t precisely determine how. "Hon, let''s listen if their vows are better than ours." Bernard suddenly whispered in her ear, so her thoughts shifted back to the wedding ceremony. They congratulated the newlyweds. Old Master Ken walked toward Deyna and said, "I''m sorry, child, the family was caught up in so many events lately that I haven''t been able to fulfill my promise to Chief Doctor Song and help you find out about your past. But now that everything in the family has been peacefully settled, I will soon start searching for everything that I could find about you." Deyna bit her lip and answered, "Please don''t, Uncle. I''m happy right now and not ready to know about my past yet." Old Master Ken understood, so he said, "Alright child, please don''t hesitate to tell me once you are ready to find out who you are." Deyna smiled and nodded. ............ The next day, the couple headed to the meeting place where they were going to have dinner with Bernard''s cousin, Xander Yang. Bernard held Deyna''s hand and said in jest, "When you see Xander later, tell me who''s more handsome, okay?" Deyna laughed. Bernard was always like this. He could always make her laugh and fill her heart with joy that she was afraid if this was all just a dream and that she would wake up soon. "Don''t you know that in my eyes you are the only handsome man?" Deyna declared, and Bernard responded with a burst of hearty laughter. "Hon, you are becoming more and more like me nowadays. You''ve learned well, huh? Now you can also flatter me with some flowery words," said Bernard still laughing. Deyna flushed and bit her lip. "Where are we heading to?" She asked when she noticed that the roads were on slopes and there were a lot of lush green trees on the roadsides. "Xander''s Villa. It''s a nice place, you will surely enjoy..." Bernard abruptly swerved the car to prevent a collision with an oncoming truck that was driving out of its lane. The truck was about to hit them. Deyna''s eyes widened in horror, and she screamed when she felt a hard impact to the whole front of their car. She felt the car fly high up in the air. The last thing she saw was Bernard taking off his seatbelt and blocking her front with his body while he held her head and said with a smile, "I love you." Then, she felt his tight embrace. And once more, everything else went pitch black... Chapter 6 - Please Wake Up! Xander Yang was watching the interview of the CEO of Life Hospitals Group on the television as he waited for Bernard''s arrival together with his fiancee. He was so excited to meet Deyna Song who had captured the very aloof heart of his cousin. Bernard was so loyal to his childhood love Arya Tan. It was an unrequited crush that he believed had lasted too long. Bernard was like a brother to him. Like him, he had a rare disease, but Bernard''s condition was more grave. The doctors called it hemophilia. Since childhood, Bernard was often kept behind closed doors to prevent him from getting injured. He often visited him abroad where his Uncle tried all kinds of possible treatments to get Bernard healed. Xander was happy that he had returned home and found a woman, who Bernard mentioned, was a great doctor and was in the process of improving his condition. Xander grinned mischievously because he was very excited to tease his cousin by asking his fiancee to help him treat his unexplainable disease too. He laughed out loud at the thought of Bernard''s angry face. Then he sniggered when he heard how Lyndon Chu answered numerous questions from the interviewer. The Chus had totally taken over Life Hospitals Group after Old Master Han died. He had seriously fallen ill when his only family member - his granddaughter - was pronounced dead, after a decaying body, which was identified by authorities as Yera Han, was found in a nearby river where her kidnappers had presumably kept her. He was not sure about the details of the investigation since it was not his place to meddle in others'' affairs. But it was such an unfortunate event, and he felt really sorry for the Han Family. "Look at all those smiles," he whispered irritably. The Chu''s were even trying hard to compete with him. They copied most of their hospital''s programs from the programs that his hospital had implemented. So different from when the Han Family was in charge of the Life Hospitals Group before. "At least, the Han Family had their originality," he murmured scornfully. His thoughts were interrupted when the helper said that the dinner was ready. He looked at the clock. It was already past seven and Bernard hadn''t arrived yet. He was never late whenever the two of them met. Then his phone rang. "What? Where?" He burst out and jumped off the sofa to rush towards his car, he even forgot to wear slippers. "Bro, hang in there!" He murmured as he rushed to the nearest hospital where Bernard and his fiancee were taken. Xander''s heart was beating like a drum as his body shook frantically. ''Oh God, please save them,'' he kept chanting as he drove. Bernard must not be injured. Those were the words that kept playing in his mind. His cousin couldn''t afford any kind of injury. He ran inside and immediately dialed his assistant''s number as he looked where Bernard and his fiancee were taken. Both were inside the operating room. "Go and immediately inform the doctors that Bernard has hemophilia!" He instructed the nurse who obeyed immediately. "What happened?!" He was shouting as agony took over him. One of the hospital staff explained the situation. Senior Cooper arrived at the hospital with Assistant Ron and saw how his nephew was waiting outside the operating room, barefoot. Xander saw him and stood up. The operation was taking so long. "They are operating on Bernard right now. His fiancee was transferred to the recovery room. The doctor said that she was not hurt badly, except for a mild head injury. The result did not show anything to be alarmed with. Uncle, Dr. Su said that Bernard is not in good shape," Xander said, as he burst out crying. Senior Cooper hugged him. His tears had started to fall from his eyes too. He knew that the moment Bernard had a cut on him, or worse, was injured like this, his life would be at risk. That was why he had always tried very hard to protect him by hiding him from the world and locking him up. "Oh please, Nerrie," Senior Cooper muttered in distress. He was begging his late wife not to take Bernard yet. He had recently had a dream of Bernard getting married happily, but then his wife was also present in that dream. Was this some kind of premonition? He shook his head as he patted Xander''s back. He was delighted that Bernard had finally managed to live a normal life with the person he loved, but then how come something like this happened? He felt a stinging pain in his heart. ...¡­.. When Deyna woke up, the first thing she did was to ask for Bernard. She got out of her bed inside the recovery room, still feeling dizzy. "Where is Bernard?" She asked. "Ma''am, he''s still in the operating room right now," said a nurse, who quickly caught her when she was about to fall down. "Please, go back to your bed. You are still in shock," said the doctor in charge, but no one could stop her when she bolted toward the operating room. She did not care about anything else as she walked staggeringly straight up to the door. "Oh my God, Deyna. Why are you here?" Mr. Cooper gasped when he saw Deyna buzz the door of the operating room. She looked very pale due to concussion in her head. "Father, please let me in. I will save Bernard. I can save him, let me in," she pleaded desperately. She was becoming hysterical when no one came to open the door for her. She kept buzzing the door while simultaneously knocking on the glass door. "Open up!" She shouted with her body still shaking. Xander held her when she was about to fall. And then the door opened. The doctor shook his head. "I''m sorry, Dr. Yang, Senior Cooper. We tried our best, but the bleeding was too extensive, the internal bleeding had already damaged his organs and tissues¡­" the doctor was not done talking when Deyna dashed inside to look for Bernard. "No, it can''t be! I''m the best surgeon in the world, and I can save him!" She shouted frantically as she ran and looked for Bernard. She found Bernard''s lifeless body in the operating room, already all cleaned up by the other doctors. Xander followed her closely. "Hon, please wake up!" She shouted as she checked Bernard''s pulse. Her eyes were clouded with tears. She cried hard as she kissed Bernard''s cheek. She knew at that moment that she was too late. She couldn''t bring him back anymore. There was no more life left in Bernard''s body, not even a single beat... Then she passed out. Xander caught her falling body when a doctor approached quickly to check on her. "She just passed out," the doctor said. But she got startled as she looked at her face closely. She was shocked by the face before her and called out, "Dr. Yera Han!" Chapter 7 - Unlucky Person "How is she?" Xander asked Dr. Min. "She''s doing fine physically, but she''s suffering from a great emotional distress, that''s why she''s like that," explained Dr. Min as the two observed Deyna. Arya and Ryu Ken were talking with her and giving her consolation, but Deyna was not responding and just stared in a particular direction like a lost soul. Today, they buried Bernard''s remains, and Deyna had refused to come. Until now, she was still not talking to anyone. The Kens had talked to him, and his uncle, about them taking over Deyna''s welfare, but Uncle Cooper refused, saying that Deyna was already a part of their family. It was a heartbreaking scene because the Kens had become close to Bernard too. They let Deyna stay in the hospital and gave her the space she wanted. Days passed by, and Deyna remained in the hospital. She did not want to be disturbed and did not wish to accept any visitors. The only thing she said to the doctors was, "Leave me alone. I will not commit suicide, nor will I do anything stupid. I just want to be alone for a while." Xander had Deyna monitored 24/7. "Sir, here are the photos. Dr. Min is right. She is Yera Han from Life Hospitals Group," Assistant Ron said as he handed the report to his boss. Xander looked at the photos and murmured, "So she''s alive and had suffered amnesia? The question is¡­ whose body did they confirm to be hers? Something is off, don''t you think so, Ron? Dig deeper into it. Do it discreetly, since this is not a simple thing. Those who were involved would not have a second thought to kill anyone." "Noted, Sir." Assistant Ron said as Xander dismissed him. "Bernard," Xander murmured. He let out a long, conflicted sigh as he stared at the photos of Yera Han. "Sir, someone from the hospital has just called. Miss Song has gone missing," Assistant Ron reported rushing back to his office. Xander sighed then his phone suddenly rang. "Alright, keep following her and report to me on everything that she does. Make sure she''s safe," Xander said to the person on the other end of the line. Assistant Ron sighed too. He presumed that the call was from Ralf. Ralf was the head of their security team whom Xander had assigned to personally monitor Yera Han. He knew Xander and Bernard were very close, but he was a bit confused because he found it unnecessary for his boss to get that much involved with Yera Han''s case. Besides, Bernard and Yera Han aka Deyna were not married, so technically speaking they were not family. And yet his boss had shown a lot of concern about her. "Hey, Ron, stop overthinking, or your brain will explode. Go back to your work!" Told Xander when he noticed that his assistant was deep in thoughts. ......... Deyna went to their family''s private graveyard, and the keeper almost lost consciousness when she saw her. "Miss Yera, you are alive. Oh my God, Old Master had always waited for you to come back. He couldn''t accept your tragic death until the end." Said the old woman who burst into tears. Deyna looked at her grandfather''s photo, and tears fell from her eyes. So many things had happened while she was away. She was consumed by her loss of Bernard so much she only found out about everything that had happened to her grandfather and all their assets just recently. Yes, she had regained all of her memories back. She was Yera Han, and she must move on and start her life anew. That was what Bernard would want her to do. But how? Where should she return? They had taken everything. She clenched her fists and bowed to her grandfather''s tomb. "I am sorry, Grandpa. Please, rest in peace¡­ your granddaughter is okay. I promise I will take everything back. I will take it all back from them," she murmured crying. She looked at the keeper as she asked her to keep her visit a secret. And that she should not mention anything to anyone about her being alive. No one could be trusted. Even her grandfather''s death was something suspicious. Despite his age, he was quite the vigorous man to be sick all of a sudden. Her phone rang, it was Arya, asking where she was in a worried voice. "I''m fine, Arya. Don''t worry about me because it''s not good for your baby. I''m on my way to my apartment now to do my usual things. Please, send my regards to the family. I will visit you soon," she said in her usual tone. Deyna bit her lip as she reached her door. She turned around and stared at the adjacent door. It was Bernard''s apartment. He intentionally moved there to be near her. Tears welled up in her eyes, she struggled hard to fight the urge to go inside because she knew his password. She must move on. That was what she kept on telling herself, although the pain was killing her. She felt like she was the most unlucky person in the world to have such unfortunate events happening in her life. She must return to her old self to survive all of this. Yera Han was not as weak as Deyna Song. She must return as Yera Han. Cold and ruthless. Someone with a heart of stone... Chapter 8 - Doppelganger Months passed by, and Deyna had gone back to her usual routine. She had also started her own investigation into her kidnapping and her grandfather''s death. But her resources were minimal. She got back all of her memories as Yera Han, but it was wiser for her to keep using the name Deyna Song for her own safety. She had even changed her original hair color and style so she would look slightly different from Yera Han. She could ask help from the Ken Family any time she wanted, but she did not want to bother them anymore. The Kens had enough on their plate and had just gotten everything in place. She knew her case would definitely stir trouble that would make them worried, and she did not want that. They had done so much good for her, and that was enough. She shook her head and smirked. There was no doubt that she was back to her old self. She was used to repaying every kindness or favor she had received. She hated being indebted; that was Yera Han''s nature. She went out to do some groceries. She sighed. She always sighed whenever she saw the adjacent door, but she did not want to leave this place and move to another apartment. She often hoped that Bernard''s smiling face would greet her in the morning like before. Deyna almost jumped off when she heard the clicking sound of Bernard''s door. ''What was that? Bernard, are you trying to scare me?'' She wanted to shout. She felt a chill to her bones when the door gently opened, and she almost passed out when Bernard''s face popped out and smiled at her, saying, "Hello." Deyna stood there, totally frozen with open mouth and wide eyes. Then she blinked several times and murmured, "I must be dreaming." Unconsciously, she walked towards the man and hugged him tightly, so tightly as if she did not want to lose him. Then, she looked upwards to look at his face again. He looked exactly the same, but there was something different about him. But why would she care whether it was a dream or not, as long as it was him? She felt so happy that she clung to his neck and wanted to kiss him. She pulled him closer so she could reach his lips, but he kept pushing her away. They looked like they were both doing the pull and push game, where she was trying hard to pull, and he was working hard to push. "Miss Deyna, please wake up. I''m not Bernard!" Said the man as he tried hard to push Deyna and stop her from kissing him. Deyna frowned and touched his face once more, then slapped it left and right. "Ouch!" He cried out. Deyna''s eyes widened as she quickly stepped away from him. "Who are you?! What are you doing in Bernard''s apartment?" She asked frantically. Then she remembered about the cousin that Bernard had mentioned. The cousin that looked exactly like him. "You''re his...?" She mumbled, and the man smiled at her while he massaged his face that she slapped. "Yes, I''m Bernard''s cousin, Xander Yang. Don''t you remember me from the hospital? It''s okay, I understand. We are alike, like twins, or should I say doppelganger?" He said, of the physical similarities between Bernard and him. Deyna shook her head. All the time when she was still at the hospital, her thoughts were clouded with only the reflection of Bernard. She had not noticed her surroundings at all. "Sorry if I startled you. I moved here last night. So we will be neighbors from now on. So, please take care of me?" Said Xander smiling. Deyna''s brow arched. Take care of him? She could barely take care of herself. With twitched mouth, she answered, "I''ll go ahead. It''s nice to meet you." Then without further ado, she turned around to head towards the elevator. What a small world. Bernard''s cousin was her rival in the family business - Life Hospitals Group. Until now, she couldn''t find a way to take it back. Under Lyndon''s management, it was currently battling head to head with Xander Yang''s Global Hospitals. Deyna let out a long sigh. She hated the name ''Xander Yang'' for years before her life as Yera Han was put at risk. She crumpled her face as she pressed the elevator button. Out of all the people, why did it have to be Xander Yang? The cousin who looked exactly the same as her beloved Bernard. If looking closely, they did not really look the same. Deyna could somehow already tell the difference from the moment she saw Xander at Bernard''s door. But she was clouded by how much she missed Bernard. So she ignored it and attacked him thoughtlessly. Deyna sighed as she entered the elevator. When the doors were about to close, a hand stopped them, so they slid open once more. Once again, it was Xander''s wide smile directed to her as he said, "Sorry, I''m new in the neighborhood. I would like to buy some stuff, but I don''t know where the nearest grocery store is." Deyna pursed her lips and wanted to say, ''Are you a clown? Why do you always smile?'' Not that it was an ugly sight, because he definitely looked handsome with those charming eyes which complemented his cheerful aura. But for some reason, she was distracted with how he always smiled at her. Or maybe she was just envious because ever since Bernard left her, she had not been able to smile at all. She stared at Xander and said, "You could have actually googled it. But I''m heading there myself, so you can follow me this time." "Oh okay, but it is actually good to do things together with someone. I hate it the most when I do things alone. So, I think I might end up bothering you from time to time, Deyna," Xander said. Deyna could sense that he was a naturally friendly type of person, someone who was probably suitable for public relation matters, as what all the media had said about him. No wonder she had often lost to him in acquiring more clients. She sighed and mumbled, "I''m a busy person, Mr. Yang, so I would appreciate it if you don''t bother me at all." "Oh, alright, but please don''t call me by that name. I would feel like I''m an old person, or I''m in the middle of a formal meeting. It''s really okay to just call me by my first name, Xander. Oh, and by the way, feel free to bother me anytime you want. I don''t mind. So please don''t hesitate to ask me for help if you need any, Deyna," Xander said without any pauses, which left Deyna speechless. Chapter 9 - Troublesome Neighbor Xander followed Deyna inside the grocery store and sighed. She had changed her hairstyle and hair color from a pure straight long black hair to fringy layers of copper color with dimensional highlights. It had that something''s-different-but-I-can''t-put-my-finger-on-it quality. Regardless of hairstyle and hair color, Deyna''s cute features were still there. You wouldn''t believe that she was already twenty-nine years old because she looked much younger. She was blessed with a babyface. He was following Deyna''s every move ever since he saw her at the hospital. He knew that her memories as Yera Han were back, and she was just hiding it. However, she was recklessly doing things on her own, and her enemy was not someone small. If not for his intervention, her life would have been in jeopardy once more. It was good that Bernard had processed her documentation before their wedding. On paper, she appeared to be Doctor Song''s legal daughter. So they managed to mislead certain people who were behind the misfortunes of the Han Family. Xander sighed. He was looking for the right timing to approach her and to bring up the subject of her own safety, without her misunderstanding the whole situation. Although, he was curious why she didn''t ask the Kens to help her. They were absolutely capable of helping her. From the way he looked at it, Deyna preferred to do things on her own. But clearly, she wouldn''t make it alive if she continued like this. The worst-case scenario was that she would end up dead, this time for sure. Deyna stopped walking and turned around to look at him with an arched brow. Xander was suppressing his laughter because he found her expression adorable. She was really back to her old self because according to Ron''s report, Yera Han was the one who always struck terror. Everyone was afraid to approach her. "Mr. Yang, can you stop following me now? We are already inside the grocery store, and I don''t feel comfortable with you hanging around me, so please¡­" she said grumpily as her eyes rounded straight at him. Xander winked at her, and it made Deyna''s face crumple even more. ''What is wrong with this guy?'' She thought irritably as she looked at the never-ending smile on his face as though he was the craziest person in the world. "I''m not following you. I just need some things from here too. There¡­ see? I need some of these," he stated with a grin, pointing at the shampoos for men. "Can''t he stop smiling?!" Deyna mumbled as she walked past him to start picking up her own things. It actually surprised her that Xander was doing his own grocery when he could easily ask his helper or assistant to do it. Xander grinned mischievously as he muttered, "What an elusive vixen." It wouldn''t be easy to approach someone like her. Well, maybe for others, because Xander was different. He always had his own ways with everything. ...¡­.. Bernard previously helped her to get the qualification and necessary documents for an emergency doctor. She was now working at the hospital''s Emergency Room. She was not on duty on weekends, so she usually prepared dinner at home. She scorned because if only her memory were back a bit earlier, a lot of events would have probably turned differently. Emergency Doctor, her ass! It was evident that she was more knowledgeable than all those other doctors in that hospital''s Emergency Room. It was a given because she was one of the youngest and the best surgeons in the world. Her main problem now was to find a way to apply for a qualification to get proper documents to become a surgeon. She must stay as Deyna Song for her own safety, so Yera Han must remain dead for the time being. Her cooking was almost done when she heard her doorbell buzz. She opened it and her mouth slightly opened when Xander''s smiling face greeted her. "Hi, sorry, but, uhm, how can I say this¡­ I tried to cook, but I think I''ve burnt everything. Can you help me out? Or uhm I''m not sure how to say it, but I''m actually not used to eating alone. Usually, my assistant would accompany me, but he is on his day-off right now, so¡­" Xander hesitated. Deyna let out an irked sigh and cut in, "Mr. Yang, just say it straight to the point! What is it? I hate to listen to long sentences." Xander grinned at her and said, "Can we have dinner together? I''ll treat you since it''s our first formal meeting with each other after..." Xander stopped and did not continue the rest of his sentence because he could sense that due to her personality, she would prefer not to bring bad things that had already happened. "Sorry, but I have already made my dinner. So, no thanks. Nice meeting you, Mr. Yang," she said, her mouth twitched as she closed her door. But then she suddenly realized that she was rude. Xander Yang was Bernard''s cousin. His closest cousin. ''What is wrong with me!?'' She chided herself for being too harsh. There''s nothing wrong with having a simple dinner. It was because she was back to her old self, the snobby and cold person she used to be. She sighed and quickly turned back around to open the door. To her surprise, Xander was still outside, and as usual, his genuine smile was formed on his lips. ''What the hell is wrong with this man?'' she thought when she saw Xander was still having a wide smile plastered on his face even after she showed him her rudeness. "I think I made a lot for me to eat alone, so if you would like, come over and eat dinner with me instead," she said straightforwardly. Xander''s face lit up as his smile became broader. "Alright, I''ll come in now because I''m starving," he said and casually walked inside her apartment. Deyna sighed. Maybe it was about time she moved out. She had the feeling that Xander would be a troublesome neighbor. Chapter 10 - One Condition "How do I set this? You read it and teach me how to do it. You know how lazy I am when it comes to reading," Xander instructed Assistant Ron who had arrived at the Yang mansion with a video intercom. "Sir, we can ask the service provider to install it there instead," Ron suggested as he started reading the instructions. "Do you think she would simply accept it if the service provider just went to her place and say that I have instructed them to do so? No, she won''t. That woman is as cold as ice, Ron. Trust me. At least with me, she feels a bit comfortable. Well, maybe not that comfortable, but she takes it into consideration that I''m Bernard''s closest cousin who was like a brother to him," explained Xander as he studied the recent reports on their new projects. Assistant Ron threw a suspicious glance at his boss. It was not in his character to waste his time if things were not profitable. The same went for people, especially if it was not family. Was Yera Han considered a family to him? It was unusual for him to invest so much effort and time for her, that he had even bought Bernard''s apartment just next door to hers. "Ron, you really want your head to explode soon? Focus on that and make sure you show me how to properly install it!" Xander burst out when he noticed that his assistant was giving him a suspecting look instead of reading the video intercom manual as he instructed him to do. Xander let out a conflicted sigh. He had his own reason as to why he wanted to get close to Deyna. And there was actually more to it, but even he couldn''t name it. Then he smiled to himself when he recalled her angry face. She always had the same expressions. She would either frown or arch an eyebrow, and he found it utterly charming. As soon as he learned how to install the video intercom, he immediately returned to his apartment. He knew that Deyna was not working that day and was at home, so he directly buzzed her doorbell. "Hello," he greeted with his usual smile. Deyna nodded a little as an answer. "Yes?" she asked with her usual arched brow. "I bought this," Xander said as he raised a paper bag. Then he added, "I''ve noticed that you don''t have a video intercom. And I think you should have it for safety reasons. Nowadays it''s important to see who''s behind your door before you open it," he explained, still smiling. "You shouldn''t have bothered because this building is secure enough. Besides, the door has a peephole," Deyna answered casually. To her surprise, Xander suddenly stepped into her apartment as if it were his own. "I must insist. It won''t take long, just give me five minutes and I''ll be gone," Xander said as he began to install the video intercom. Deyna was dumbfounded. ''What are you, really?'' she wanted to voice out her irritation because they were not even that close for him to act like this. He was too comfortable with disturbing her, but she was not at all pleased with him bothering her. She watched him silently. He and Bernard were both cheerful and friendly, but Bernard was not as bold as Xander. Bernard always asked for her permission first before he did anything, but Xander seemed to do things to his liking. Just like now, she refused, but he still insisted. Bernard had already told her about the video intercom, but she declined, saying that it was not needed. In the end, he obliged and said jokingly that there was nothing to worry about anyway since he was just next door. "I''m really not Bernard, just to be clear with that," Xander murmured in jest. Deyna reddened with embarrassment. Xander must have noticed she was staring at him. "I''m almost done," she heard him say. She walked towards her refrigerator to get Xander a drink. She was going to talk to him. She felt like there were some motives behind his every move. "Here, drink it," she offered a glass of fresh juice when Xander finished. He smiled and sat in the dining area. Deyna sat in front of him and let out a long sigh before she talked, "Mr. Yang, I''m a straightforward person so I will apologize in advance for what I am about to say to you." She looked straight into his eyes and said, "I really hate it when my privacy is being invaded. I want to stay alone as much as possible. I do appreciate your kindness, but I really hope that you will stop bothering me from now on." Xander did not smile this time but met her intense stare. "I''m sorry, but I don''t think that''s possible," he simply said, that made Deyna frown. "What? Are you deaf? What is it that you need from me?" she lashed out at him. "Me? Yes, I need something from you, but I think you are the one who needs something big from me," told Xander, which left Deyna befuddled. Xander straightened his back and sighed. "Let me rephrase it. You need me, and I am willing to give you everything and help you with anything. I only have one condition in return," Xander said as he looked intently at Deyna who was not even blinking at that moment. When Deyna remained silent, he continued, "I will bring it all back to you¡­ The things that you''ve lost¡­ Your enemies will be my enemies, and I will make everything happen according to your will, Miss Yera Han." Deyna paled at Xander''s last words. He called her by her real name. "How?" that was the only words that came out from her mouth as she looked at him, totally stunned. Xander sighed. This might be the right opportunity to make his proposition known to her because he feared that Deyna would make a bold move at any moment and it would be too late for him to come to her rescue. He wanted to prevent her from making any reckless moves, like the last time, as much as he could. She might not know, but if he had not interfered in time back then, she would have been too close to danger. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL site only.

That was the only word Deyna said before her eyes narrowed at Xander. "How did you know about me? What is going on? Were you stalking me? Did you have me investigated?!" Deyna exclaimed in a row as her face reddened in rage. She could sense that something was off with Xander. His sudden arrival and staying at Bernard''s apartment was suspicious. He was constantly around her, which had always made her feel uneasy. Xander stared at Deyna''s eyes intently and let out a long deep sigh before he spoke, "Please calm down, okay?" Deyna raised an eyebrow as she berated him, "Calm down? How can I calm down after finding out that you have intentionally approached me? Tell me, what''s your intention?" Xander held back as he observed her. She was no longer the soft-spoken and timid Deyna Song whom Bernard had often told him about. The woman standing before him was Yera Han, the straightforward and sharp-tongued woman who was well-known as the ''Witch Doctor.'' He had heard a lot about her but had never had the chance to meet her in person. But now, he could see that she had fully returned to being her real self. With Yera Han''s character, Xander felt that his offer would come to a waste because Yera Han was also known for being a woman with excessive pride. But he was resolute. Should she refuse, he had no other choice but to proceed with his plan B, in which he would need to blackmail her into accepting his offer. Xander crossed both his legs and arms as he let out another sigh. He then said, "As I''ve said before, I will give you all the power that you need. That way, you can get back all the things you''ve lost and punish those who have wronged you and your family¡­" "And why would you do that? I''m quite sure the Xander Yang I know would never give out a free offer out of goodwill," Deyna scoffed. She knew the type of person that he was very well. Xander Yang would never give something away without anything in return. Xander''s squinted an eye. The woman was surely quick-witted. It was true that he would ask her for something in return. However, it was something he was sure she would refuse if he did not choose his words carefully. "You are right. I''ve already mentioned it before¡­" Xander murmured, and Deyna recalled what he said. That he had only one condition. Deyna scoffed and asked, "Yeah, one condition. And what would it be?" Xander coughed and cleared his throat before he said, "You have to become my wife¡­" Deyna''s facial muscles flinched. She was trying to digest what Xander had just told her. ''Is she hearing it correctly? Be his wife?'' she pondered as she started to burst in a fit of laughter. Xander did not expect that kind of reaction from Deyna. ''Why would she laugh like that? Do I look funny to her? Was that even funny at all?'' Xander thought, totally flustered. He would understand if Deyna was angry because of the condition that he put on the offer. But to laugh loudly like that? He definitely did not expect it. Deyna was still laughing, yet she tried her best to regain composure. She then said, slightly snorting from suppressing her laughter, "I''m sorry... But, I''m not sure if I heard it right. I mean, why would you want me to marry you? I''m Bernard''s fiancee! I love your cousin more than life!" Then with a solemn expression on her face, she added, "Besides, isn''t that a bit off for an offer? What would you gain from marrying me? How about I give you half of my company share? Or even 70%? I''m willing to give it to you if you help me to get it all back." Xander stood up to leave because he could no longer stand Deyna''s piercing gaze at him. He felt like he was already dead meat by that look in itself. "Just think about it. I will have my assistant send you the contract. You can check it and you can always tell me what you think, so we could come up to a certain agreement somehow," he insisted. Then he advanced toward the door but suddenly paused. He turned around and looked sternly at Deyna and said his last piece before leaving," By the way, avoid making any reckless moves, or you will put your life in danger again. Someone was trying to check on your profile recently. Luckily, I intervened. Ron will fill you in with the details. I''ll leave now, and hopefully, you would give me your answer soon." Deyna looked at the door which Xander had just closed while she massaged her temple. She could feel her head would burst anytime soon. A while later, her doorbell rang. It was Xander''s assistant, who introduced himself as Assistant Ron. "Miss, here''s my business card. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Also, this is Mr. Yang''s contact details. You can also contact him directly." Then Ron went through the details of the contract with her, while she was reading it with pursed lips and creased forehead. Ron let out his breath and quickly left when Deyna dismissed him. He was very confused by which name he should greet her. Miss Yera? Miss Deyna? To avoid any awkwardness, he decided to just address her with a ''Miss.'' At least for now. Who knows, maybe she would even be ''Madam Yang'' soon. That would definitely solve his problem. But, based on her expression, Ron could tell that she would not accept his boss''s offer. He was startled when Xander suddenly pulled him inside his place as soon as he left Deyna''s apartment. "What do you think? Do you think she will consider the offer seriously?" asked Xander with eyes full of curiosity. Ron scratched his head and gave his boss a conflicted look. Xander''s mouth twitched and said, "Just go back to the office. I will take a week leave!" He would convince Yera to accept his offer in that one week''s time... Chapter 12 - Her Comeback Xander woke up early and walked to Yera''s door. He had studied her schedule by heart, and he knew that she had to go to work soon. So he would like to ask her for breakfast before he would drop her at the hospital. He had to convince her to marry him because she was his only hope. He paused briefly at that thought; ''Only hope.'' It sounded so grave. It also seemed as though he was only using her purely because he needed something from her. But he knew that was not the whole truth. Because for some reason, after having been observing her in the past few months, he had grown to become genuinely interested in Yera Han. He wanted to get to know her more. He wished to get close to her. And he genuinely wanted to protect and help her get back everything that had been taken away from her. But it would be easier to do that if they were married. As his wife, she would gain full access to everything that he owned. ''But do I really need to marry her?'' he contemplated. The fact was, he could still provide her with everything she would need, even without marriage. But knowing how high her ego was, he highly doubted that Yera would accept any help just like that, especially if it came from him. No, he knew she definitely wouldn''t take it. If she hadn''t even asked the Kens for help when she knew and trusted them more than him, why would she accept his aid? She wasn''t someone who would want anything for free. This was why Xander came up with the idea of offering her a contract. An agreement where both parties would benefit. This way, she would at least consider it. He was sure that she would take the offer with some convincing. But her reaction last night worried him. She wasn''t mad, as he had expected. If she had been irate, then at least she acknowledged his seriousness about the offer. But instead, she laughed at and mocked him. She took it as a joke! So he had to convince her, somehow, to accept the offer. Xander abruptly rubbed his face with his palms. "So, do I really need to marry her?" he muttered. But no matter how many times he would ask himself that question, his answer was still a ''YES.'' Because he needed her. ''Because your body needs her?'' his inner self snarled. He paused when he was about to press Yera''s doorbell, and instead of ringing it, he walked back to his own apartment. "Bernard¡­ Am I selfish?" he murmured as he sat on the couch in his living room. Of all people, of all women, why did it have to be Yera Han? Xander laughed scornfully at his awkward fate. Because surprisingly, his little buddy was only reacting to Yera. At first, he thought his weird disorder had been miraculously cured, so he tried to date other women after Bernard''s funeral. But to his disappointment, it was still the same. He even went beyond kissing just to make sure. But nothing. The little guy down there was still as unresponsive as it had always been toward those women. He looked at his little buddy and let out a long sigh. "What''s wrong with you?" he chided his own manhood. If he could, he wanted to strangle and punch it for giving him such a hard time. But that would be suicide. He released another sigh. Unexplainably, his stupid little Xander had only been reacting actively whenever he was with Yera. He knew it was unfair to her, but¡­ ''What''s unfair? You will help her! You''ll also take good care of her in the process!'' his inner self retorted. He stayed like that for a few more minutes, as he contemplated whether or not he should proceed with this plan. Then he thought about the excuse that he used as to why he wanted to marry her. It was a standard one, in which his father had been pressuring him to get married, and he believed Yera was the best candidate for it. He chuckled at his lack of creativity. After a long deep sigh, Xander stood up¡­ ...............¡­. Yera kept knitting her eyebrows as she reviewed the adjustments that she made on some of the clauses of the contract. She had thoroughly thought about it last night. She hated it. She hated the fact that Xander Yang was manipulating her like this. "Why would he even bother to this extent?" she scoffed. She knew there must be more to this offer than he let on. She did not buy his explanation about how she was the safest candidate to be his wife since he knew that she would not take advantage of him. Her gut feeling told her that was not the real reason. Moreover, she found one particular clause about the marriage ridiculous, in which they would have to do the usual and customary duties of marriage. This meant that she, as the wife, would also have to perform her spousal task. "Perform the duty of a wife? What the heck is that supposed to mean?" She struck the sentence from the clause. He should be more clear and specific about what he meant because the wording of the term was just too vague. She had decided to accept Xander''s offer and would marry him only on paper. Only for his name and power. She would be willing to perform some of the wife''s duties, as he requested, but only for show. Especially in the presence of Xander''s father. But definitely not that duty, in particular, where she had to give him his conjugal rights as a husband, in which sexual intercourse is due. Her face crumpled. Just the thought of it made her shiver in distress. No, she would never do that... "Bernard¡­" she whispered helplessly. Almost every night was still the same. That accident kept replaying in her dreams. Bernard''s smiling face, his eyes that were full of love, and his last whisper of, "I Love You." She could not forget that. And she hadn''t been able to move on. Bernard was the only man in her life, and no one could ever replace him. Her heart was locked, and Bernard was the only one with its key. She only had one goal right now. It was for her to have a comeback as Yera Han. She would then punish everyone who was involved in the death of her grandfather and the robbing of their family assets. Romance was definitely not on her agenda. Especially not with Xander Yang... Chapter 13 - Dead Eyes Yera stared directly into Xander''s eyes. They were having coffee at the cafe on the ground floor of their building. She handed him the contract and said, "I will sign it as soon as you revise it according to my corrections. It''s all written there." Xander almost jumped for joy as happiness crept over him. He cursed his assistant, Ron, for his pessimistic reaction last night. He smiled sweetly at Yera before he took the contract from her hand. He would read it later. As long as Yera agreed to sign it and marry him, then that would be enough. "I will check it later and give you a copy of the revised version soon. By the way, what will your next plan be? I mean you should keep me in the loop. I must not be left in the dark for us to succeed," Xander said, still smiling at her. He loved looking at Yera''s face because it was small and adorable. She looked younger than her actual age. Her facial features were the complete opposite of her personality. She looked so cute and fragile on the outside. Someone you would be mistaken of thinking to be the meek type. But in all actuality, she was as prickly as a hedgehog. "Yes, please do so. And let me be clear in case you check it¡­ About the duty of a wife, I assume that you were referring to me displaying the duty of a wife whenever we are out in public, right? It''s just for show? I have to be sure that we are on the same page about this. Please see to it that we will sleep in separate rooms. You will never touch me unless it''s needed for the sake of show¡­" Yera demanded with her arms crossed over her chest. She saw Xander''s smiling face, but his eyes were a bit narrowed now, so she quickly added, "I don''t like you, Xander. From way before I was Deyna, when I was still just Yera Han. Just hearing your name irked me. I''m sorry, but I just want to be honest with you." Xander observed her while tapping his fingers on the table. "Such a contrast," he mumbled after a while before he took a sip of his coffee. "What?!" Yera heard it. Xander gave her a wink and smiled as he said, "Nothing. It''s just that your personality contradicts your soft and cute face¡­" Yera was not surprised because she got that a lot. But Xander''s smiling face¡­ It disturbed her a lot. ''Why is he always so cheerful?'' she grumbled silently. Or maybe she was just envious because she could not afford to be cheerful like him. She could no longer smile like that after Bernard''s passing. She finally learned how to genuinely smile when Bernard came to her life. But now he had been taken away from her. Yera sighed unconsciously and did not notice the way Xander was looking at her. It was a look of concern, mixed with pity, and fondness. ''Her eyes are so dead¡­ No emotions at all,'' Xander mused. He would love to see those dead eyes brighten again. He wondered how much more beautiful those hazel eyes could be. "You have lovely eyes. I bet you would look more beautiful if you try to smile," Xander asserted. She looked back at Xander, still with her soulless eyes. She countered, "I''m not into flowery words, Mr. Yang. I believe you already know that." She was feeling uncomfortable. She often heard about Xander Yang''s silver tongue, and how good he was at sweet-talking people. He was the total opposite of her. Xander chuckled. Of course, he knew. He knew everything about Yera Han¡­ He shrugged as he smiled at her. It was a genuine smile because that was just how Xander was; a warm, friendly, and outgoing person. He then implored, "Please call me Xander. And please get used to my way of talking, because that''s just how I am. Everything I say, whether you perceive it as flowery or not, always comes from the heart. This is how I really am¡­" He added, "I really like your eyes. I find them beautiful, and I hope to see them twinkle and lively someday. Life is tough. I know, because Bernard and I were really close too. And I don''t think Bernard would be happy to see you being lonely like this. You have to stay strong and move on. And let me be the one to help you with that. You can treat me as a friend for now¡­ I will not force you into anything that is against your will. But I hope you would consider me as your fortress from this day onwards." "Your stronghold in any situation," Xander said with an assuring smile. Yera would kill him out of frustration if he did not stop smiling like that. She let out a long sigh with a defeated look and called for the waiter. "Excuse me, could you please give him another cup of coffee? Make sure to make it really strong, thanks," Yera queried, to which Xander''s forehead furrowed. "Another coffee for me?" Xander asked, confused. Yera nodded and dead-panned, "You will need a strong one to wake up. Because I believe you are still in a dazed state from a lack of sleep or something. Spurting nonsense, smiling a lot, winking... You are talking to a block of ice, but it seems that it still hasn''t dawned on you. So, let the coffee help wake you up." Xander burst out laughing as he replied, "Oh, you''re not only cute, but you''re funny too! I never thought your humor could be this good. Well, you should know that a block of ice won''t scare me. Because I can always thaw it with my warmth¡­" Then he finished off with a wink, while Yera stared at him with her mouth slightly agape in disbelief¡­ Chapter 14 - Physician CEO Xander was whistling as he walked into his office. He stopped by Assistant Ron''s desk, and with narrowed eyes, he reproved, "I think I''ve been too lenient with you lately. Here, have this revised according to her corrections, and give me the final version by the end of today." Assistant Ron flinched as he accepted the document. He was quite positive that Miss Yera would reject his boss''s offer, based on all the mocking expressions she had displayed while he was explaining the contract. He scratched his head because his bonus will be cut down for sure. This almighty boss of his, Physician CEO Yang, might look charming and congenial on the outside. And of course, for the most part, he was indeed such a warm and friendly person. However, when provoked, he could transform into a scary demon with ease. So Assistant Ron immediately thought of a way to placate his boss for making him worry for nothing. Xander continued to hum inside his office. He thought he would need at least one week to convince her. But as it appeared, Yera really wanted to get her revenge soon. He shook his head and mumbled, "Hmm, I''m too ridiculously excited right now." He took Yera''s profile report from his drawer and sat at his desk to examine it again. This had become his daily routine ever since he met her. He had not missed a day to check her profile just so he could stare at her picture. At her delicate face and her beautiful yet soulless eyes. He had the urge to put life back into those eyes. He was not sure if it was because he pitied her or whether he was attracted to her physically. All he knew was that he wanted her to become his. He realized the journey wouldn''t be smooth sailing. Just like a hedgehog, Yera had covered herself with prickles. It was her defense mechanism to protect herself from others. Pursuing her would mean to take out those prickles one by one, and to allow himself to be pricked in the process. But then again, he was Xander Yang, whose confidence was as high as the Himalayas, and whose skin was as thick as a rhino. Some punctures from those prickles didn''t scare him. He was sure that sooner or later, he would be able to strip Yera off of all her prickly spines. His crazy thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his mobile phone. It was Ralf. "Boss, we already have a lead on one of Miss Yera''s kidnappers. We will let you know once we have him in our hands," Ralf reported from the other line. "Alright, make sure you have the right culprits. You know how I hate loose ends, Ralf," Xander said in his serious voice. "Yes, Sir, I understand. We will check everything," answered Ralf. Xander instructed Ralf on more things regarding Yera before he ended the call. ...¡­.. Yera went to work to submit her resignation letter. She would soon work at Yang Hospitals, as Xander suggested. She would still keep her identity as Deyna Song because she didn''t want the people who were responsible for all of her grievances to know that she was still alive. She must get her revenge first. She wanted to torture them. After submitting her resignation letter, she visited Bernard''s grave. She put down the flowers she brought on his gravestone as she whispered, "I brought you these colorful flowers, hon. You love the combination of different colors, right? By the way, your cousin will help me with my fight. I''m actually not sure how you will react to this, but I need to use him to get my revenge. Sorry, hon¡­" Yera stared at Bernard''s gravestone as her eyes flooded with tears. She sobbed, "I missed you so much hon¡­ I really missed you so much¡­" Her tears were now spilling down her small face. The walls that held her up just collapsed and she was grieving like there was a giant gaping hole in her heart. The pain of losing Bernard had never left her, and she was not sure if it ever would. After a few moments of dwelling in her sorrow, Yera wiped her tears and smiled. She joked, "Did you intentionally send your cousin to help me out? But that cousin of yours talks too much..." "To be honest hon, the more I look at him, the more I miss you. It''s harder for me whenever he''s around because he reminds me of you¡­" Yera confessed. She was trying hard to hold back her tears. She could picture Bernard there, scolding her for being weak. He was also telling her to move on. "Are you telling Bernard on me?" Xander''s playful remark suddenly startled Yera. "Why are you here?" asked Yera. "I had a meeting nearby and decided to stop by here to ask for Bernard''s approval and forgiveness," Xander answered as he looked at Bernard''s gravestone. "I see his tree is growing fast," he noted of the tree that was planted for Bernard there. Yera smiled as she also looked at the tree and whispered, "Yeah, I would love to see it grow tremendously." "Yes, it will. Especially if you smile like that often. If Bernard sees that, his tree will definitely grow fast," Xander declared while smiling at Yera. Smiling suited her better, and Xander could not help but voice it out. Yera''s cheeks turned pink, and she quickly turned around to hide it, "I will go first." Xander let out a sigh before he answered, "Alright. See you later¡­" Then he sat on the grass and looked to the sky. "Little bro, it''s been months. I still can''t believe time flew by so fast. I bet you can see me wherever you are, right? If you are not happy about what I''m planning for Yera, please feel free to hunt me down. Give me a sign. You can appear in my nightmare or something. You know I listen to you well, right?" Xander smiled. He was not sure if what he intended to do was at all acceptable. He was just following his heart. Then he turned around to look at Yera, who was already walking far from him. "But please, let me take care of her at least¡­" Xander pleaded as he watched Yera''s back. Chapter 15 - Darling Yera was in the middle of preparing her dinner when she heard the doorbell. She checked her new video intercom and sighed when she saw it was, again, Mr. Persistent, Xander Yang, who was wearing his customary charming smile. Yera complained inwardly, but she must admit that the video intercom that he had installed in her place the other day was pretty cool. And without his pertinacity, she would have not gotten to enjoy all the benefits of having it inside her house. She opened the door, showing her typical blank expression, and asked in her usual deadpan voice, "Yes?" ''What a great smile,'' she couldn''t help but praise his smile when she was directly confronted with it. Xander was truly blessed with a genuine and attractive smile as well as conviviality. Prior to knowing him personally, Yera had never understood why she often lost a business deal to him. She had frequently heard about how charming the man was but had never been able to comprehend how appealing a person could be to be able to win over a lot of potential business partners when her offers had always been more lucrative than his. But now, she finally understood. A warm and sociable personality like Xander''s would always win over a cold and austere one like hers. In fact, she believed that if he were to enter a beauty pageant, he would definitely win the crown for Mr. Congeniality. She could also see why he was labeled as a womanizer. A lot of women must have flocked to him because of that smile. It could undeniably and effortlessly captivate any of them. And yet, for some inexplicable reason, that smile had been distracting her and made her feel uneasy. Xander was waving the document he was holding in his hand while he was speaking casually to her as if they were already the closest friends, "It''s the revised contract. Let''s grab dinner together while you check it." Yera''s eyebrow twitched. ''He is too comfortable with me!'' she protested inwardly. "No, it''s okay. You can just hand it to me, and I''ll call you if there''s something that needs change," Yera countered as she grabbed the contract from Xander''s grip. But the document wouldn''t budge. Yera looked down at it and saw Xander''s hand was still holding it in its grasp. So she furrowed her brow and looked back up at him with questioning eyes. "Uhm, I''m sorry about this, and I can''t stress this enough, but I really hate to eat alone. So please accompany me for dinner?" Xander pled. Yera rolled her eyes but conceded defeat because she knew resistance was futile. There was no way she could shoo this persistent man away, and she was too lazy to waste her energy to even try. "Alright, come inside¡­ I''m already cooking, and I think it will be enough for both of us," she answered. Besides, they would soon be working together, so it would be in her best interest to have a harmonious business relationship with him. So, as Xander had previously suggested, she must accustom herself to him and all of his antics. "Great! Thanks..." Xander smiled as he followed Yera inside and sauntered toward the kitchen as though it was his own place. "What are you making?" asked Xander as he sat down at the dining table while he watched Yera cook. "I only cook simple recipes. This is a caramelized chicken and rice noodle dish. If you want something else, I can just call for delivery," Yera answered as she turned off the electric stove. "Nah, I''m not a picky eater, and besides, you cook well. Didn''t you notice how much I ate last time? I ate a lot," Xander praised her with a genuine smile. Yera could not help but feel flattered by that simple compliment. She acknowledged it with a plain, "Thanks." ''Does she feel the same about me?'' Xander wondered. He was curious to know what kind of feeling Yera would have whenever he was around. Did she feel the same sort of inexplicable tension that he would feel whenever she was near him? But he doubted it was mutual since she was still acting cold toward him. He looked at Yera and sighed. He disliked her blank expression. ''Too cold,'' he lamented inwardly. "What should I call you? Yera or Deyna?" Xander asked as Yera was preparing the food on the table. Yera paused at his question. She would, of course, prefer to be called by her real name. But she must conceal her real identity and remain as Deyna Song for the sake of her revenge. She was about to answer him when Xander suddenly spoke, "Never mind. You will be my wife, so I will call you by a sweet term of endearment. Which one do you like best? Darling? Dear? My Love? Or perhaps Babe? Yeah, I think ''Babe'' fits you the most because you have a babyface. You look much younger than your age. Young and beautiful..." "What?!" Yera burst out. She was about to tell him to call her Yera when they were alone and Deyna when they weren''t. "I said we need to choose a term of endearment so we would look more natural as a couple. So you choose. ''Darling'', ''Love'', ''Dear'' or ''Babe''? I like ''Babe,'' but if you prefer something else, tell me. Or do you have something else in mind?" Xander pressed. "Is it really necessary? Besides, isn''t ''Babe'' also a pig from that movie ''Babe''? Are you saying I look like that pig? Should I call you ''Clown'' because you''re always smiling like a clown?" Yera complained, which made Xander burst into a cackle of laughter. ''Was it that funny, or is he just mocking me?'' Yera mused. "Sure, then I''ll call you ''Darling.'' And you can call me ''Clown'' or whatever you like, darling¡­" Xander teased her with a wink, to which Yera''s cheeks reddened. He was amused to see her being flustered while trying to conceal it by keeping a straight face. "Stop teasing me! Or I''ll feed you poison!" Yera snarled as she sat down in front of him to eat. "But I''m serious¡­ I will really call you ''Darling'' from now on. That''s the one I prefer right after ''Babe.'' Try calling me that too, so you''ll get used to it," Xander insisted as he began to eat. Then he went on, but this time in a solemn tone, "So, if you agree with the revised contract, let''s register our marriage tomorrow, and as soon as you''re ready, we will move to the Yang Mansion." Yera noticed a flaw in his plan and pointed it out, "Senior Yang has seen me in person several times. I''m sure he''ll remember me. Are you going to tell him about my real identity, and what really happened to me?" "Yes, I will tell him all about it. It''s for the best. Don''t worry, he will keep it a secret unless you don''t want to keep it a secret anymore," answered Xander. Then he praised her cooking skill again, "Hmm, this is delicious. You can really cook well, darling..." Yera''s mouth twitched, but she ignored Xander''s teasing as she prodded further, "But wouldn''t he be suspicious about our marriage set-up if he knows?" Xander shook his head, "No, he won''t care about that. In fact, he wouldn''t care about anything else other than his only son is finally tying the knot." ''And will soon give him a grandchild,'' Xander wanted to add. But he was sure Yera would totally freak out if he did, so he held himself back from even mentioning it as a joke. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL site only.

For some reason, she was feeling uneasy¡­ Today, Yera and Xander would register their marriage. She sat down on her bed and stared at Bernard''s framed photograph on her bedside table and murmured, "Do you think I made the right choice?" Yera drew out a long air from her lungs before she got up and did her stretching routines. She then looked at her luggage. Everything was already packed and ready to go. Soon after they registered their marriage, she would move into Yang''s ancestral mansion. She hurriedly readied herself because she knew Xander would definitely come to pick her up early. After almost an hour, Yera heard the doorbell. And as she had expected, it was Xander''s smiling face greeting her through the video intercom. "Morning, darling¡­" Xander greeted her as soon as she opened the door for him. He waltzed into her apartment casually. "Where are your things? I''ll carry them," he asked as he looked around the room before spotting her luggage. Yera watched him carry her luggage and offered his hand to her. "Let''s go," he said. Yera''s eyebrow raised as she retorted, "What? What do I need your hand for? I can walk by myself. I will follow you." Xander chuckled as he retrieved his hand back and said, "Oh, well, I just thought we should start practicing acting sweet, so it will look more natural later when we meet dad. Like holding hands, you know." Yera sighed. She understood his point, so even though she was still reluctant, she still conceded, "Alright." She offered her hand, which Xander eagerly took and clasped tightly with his hand. ''Weird...'' Yera mused when she felt a slight jolt in her hand. This was, of course, not the first time she experienced a static shock. She had had it from touching a doorknob, a chair, or any other inanimate objects. But this was the first time Yera sensed an electric jolt from another person''s touch. She brushed off unnecessary thoughts and let Xander lead the way with her hand in his. Indeed, this kind of thing is essential for them to act natural in front of others. Besides, she had agreed to show a simple public display of affection during their matrimony, so she must get used to it. They arrived at the civil registry office, and Assistant Ron was already there, waiting for them. He handed a small paper bag to Xander. "It''s our wedding rings," Xander murmured with a wink. "You don''t need to bother," Yera muttered, trying her best to keep a deadpan face. "Of course I do¡­ Who the heck will believe that we''re married if we don''t have a ring? I personally chose this design, so I hope you''ll like it," Xander insisted as he held Yera''s hand to put the ring on her ring finger. "It looks expensive," Yera commented as she stared at the marquise-cut diamond ring on her finger. It was a lovely ring with a horizontal solitaire that was surrounded by smaller diamonds. "Well, my wife should only have the best¡­ It fits your beautiful hand perfectly," Xander complimented before he gave his ring to Yera and asked, "Hmm, can you please put my ring on me?" Of course, she would. Xander had put hers on her, so she would definitely feel guilty if she didn''t grant him at least this wish. So she took his ring and put it on his ring finger. Meanwhile, Assistant Ron was busy snapping their pictures as instructed by his boss. He shook his head as he watched his boss acting cute in front of miss Han, who was superb in maintaining her cold expression, being the ice woman that she was. If that were another woman, she would have already been smitten by his boss'' flirtatious moves by now. Just a simple smile or a wink from his boss could make all the girls in their hospital squeal. But the young mistress was just too different. After the officer announced that their marriage was now registered and they were officially husband and wife, Xander instructed Ron to take another picture of them. Without any warning, Xander pulled Yera closer to him and whispered, "We need to kiss for this photo because dad will surely ask." "What?!" Yera shrilled, but before she could utter another word, Xander''s lips had gently pressed against hers, which were now slightly opened. It was a brief kiss, which only lasted for around three to five seconds. Xander let her go as soon as he heard a click sound from the camera that Assistant Ron was holding to capture their kiss. "Sorry about this¡­ Here. you can slap me now, but please not too hard. Please don''t leave any marks on my face," Xander pleaded as he offered his cheek to Yera with his eyes closed. ''Are you for real!?'' she wanted to shout it out. She would definitely go crazy soon from Xander''s personality. She had never met anyone in her entire life, who was as brazen and candid as this man was. Xander opened his eyes after a few seconds when he did not feel any palms landing on his face. He saw Yera staring at him in disbelief, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for sparing my face. Shall we go to see your new home now, Mrs. Yang?" "You''re unbelievable¡­" Yera muttered irritably when she felt Xander grab her hand to go to their next destination. Xander chuckled and replied, "You need to get used to this¡­" ''Bernard, your cousin is more shameless than you,'' Yera complained inwardly. Chapter 17 - Father And Son Assistant Ron could feel the chills as pure silence reigned inside the car. The two people at the back weren''t talking at all. ''What an awkward situation,'' he mused as he tried to focus his attention on the road. Xander let out a silent sigh. He was deeply lost in his own thoughts. He did not know what had possessed him a while ago that he suddenly had the urge to kiss Yera. He knew he was acting rashly. Yera might have not slapped him, but she was definitely not pleased with his bold act. ''Geez, Xander¡­ Since when did you lose control like that?'' He chastised himself. Both of them stayed quiet during the ride. No one was willing to start a conversation. But after a while, Xander could not stand the silence anymore, so he tried to apologize once again, "Are you still mad? I''m really sorry about earlier." Yera blew air on her forehead and simply countered, "Stop apologizing. It''s not okay, but we can no longer go back. It already happened. So, just make sure it won''t happen again because the moment it does, forget about slapping you, I''d probably end up breaking your neck..." Xander''s face paled because Yera sounded so sincere with her threat. ''Why is she so brutal?'' Xander complained silently. "No, it won''t happen again. Except, of course, when needs be. You know, situations will arise where we have to show off some affectionate acts in front of others. So let me apologize in advance for cases like that," Xander explained. Yera turned her head to face him. She looked at him with her cold and piercing eyes as though they were directed right to his soul, which succeeded in making Xander gulp nervously. Then she smirked and said, "Well, I warned you, okay? So don''t try me." ''Geez, that actually scared me a bit. Why is she so uptight!?'' Xander growled inside and unconsciously massaged the nape of his neck. Yera was the first and only woman who treated him like this. All the other women around him would always act coy, sweet, and caring, just to get his attention. He only had to turn his head toward them, and they would all fall at his feet. After what seemed to be an excruciating ride, they arrived at Yang''s ancestral mansion. The grandeur and its impressive decor caught Yera''s attention. She was not new to big estates, as she had also lived in one. But this one was definitely bigger than her family''s ancestral home. The Hans'' family mansion also had a swimming pool and spa, but they did not have a tennis court, like the Yangs''. She had even heard about a spacious ballroom because Senior Yang loved to party and entertain his guests, as well as a 3,000 square feet wine cellar with a tasting room. She gushed and drooled at the thought of all the wines available in there. She would love to visit that room. The car stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and they were immediately greeted by the butler and servants. While Yera was still trying to get accustomed to the name they were calling her by, ''Young mistress,'' Senior Yang suddenly darted from inside the house to hug her. "Oh, welcome! Welcome, my dear daughter-in-law. Oh God, Xander told me everything last night, and I was doubting if he was telling the truth. But after seeing you right here, right now... Oh God, Yera, You are really alive..." He said as he gently released her from his hug so he could look at her closely. Yera gave him an awkward smile. She suddenly felt guilty for fooling the old man, who was sincerely welcoming her into his family. "Let''s go inside. I''m sure the two of you are hungry. I have instructed the cook to prepare nice dishes. I hope you will like it," Senior Yang chirped. He could hardly conceal his happiness for finally having a daughter-in-law. Yera realized where Xander got his sunny personality. He got it from his father! "Thank you, Sir," she replied. Senior Yang suddenly stopped walking and turned around to face her. With furrowed eyebrows, he urged, "Sir? Call me ''Father'' from now own, like Xander¡­ You are now part of this family, and I am now your father¡­" Yera didn''t know how to respond, but her instincts told her to just nod. So she did, hesitantly. But Senior Yang was still glued to his spot while looking at her. She was confused. Xander laughed, seeing the scene before him and hinted, "You have to call him ''Father'' now, or else he won''t move at all. He needs to hear it first." Yera opened her mouth in a daze as she muttered, "Oh! Okay. Father¡­" "There! It''s so nice to hear. Now I have a daughter. Come here, child, and let''s proceed to the dining area," Senior Yang beamed, with a wink, totally satisfied with what he heard. ''Wow. What a tandem of father and son,'' Yera mused. How could a father and son were so similar in personalities, like these two? Not only did Xander got his cheerfulness from his father, but also his persistence. But she must admit, Senior Yang''s kind and caring conduct toward her, had brought some warmth into her heart. She lost her father at a young age. So she could not help but feel touched by Senior Yang''s fatherly affection. She heard that Xander''s mother had passed away when he was young too. ''At least his father is still there for him,'' she thought silently. Both her parents had died in a plane crash when she was a teenager. She only had his grandfather, but then he died too. Senior Yang noticed Yera''s somber expression. He knew everything that had happened to her, as Xander didn''t miss a single detail when telling him about her story. The young woman had suffered so much. She had lost everything she had, including her only family, her grandfather. He took Yera''s hand and clasped it tightly in his hands as he said, "Don''t worry, my daughter. I will see to it that Xander will fight by your side. We are your family now. We will always stand by your side." Xander held his breath upon hearing that. He told his father everything about Yera and his marriage to her, except for the part that they had signed a contract in which it was stated that they would divorce as soon as Yera succeeded in getting back all of her family assets. Well, of course, his main goal was to make sure that the divorce part would never happen. And a wicked smile suddenly surfaced on his handsome face... Chapter 18 - Bare Legs After a wonderful meal, Senior Yang escorted them to their newlywed room. "I had this room prepared when I was frustrated with Xander for not wanting to settle down. I thought that I should just make it anyway, so it can be occupied as soon as he changes his mind and gets married. Now I''m glad I did, now both of you can just settle in. I hope you like the decor," Senior Yang explained before he bid his farewell so the couple could finally have their privacy. Yera wanted to laugh because the room was extravagant. It felt more like a luxurious hotel suite than a typical newlywed bedroom. She took her luggage and brought it into the walk-in closet. There were two walk-in closets. One was obviously for Xander, as it was filled with men''s apparel, while the other one was vacant. It reminded her of her closet in her old bedroom at the Han''s residence. It was also fully filled with branded clothes. She looked at her one and only suitcase now. What a contrast... Xander seemed to have read her thoughts as he commented, "We can go shopping later. Let''s buy all the things you want, like before." Yera sneered. For some reason, expensive branded clothes didn''t attract her anymore. Probably because she had gotten used to living a simple life as Deyna Song. Deyna had always worn modest clothes with reasonable prices like the dress she was wearing now. She arranged her things very quickly and went to the bathroom. "Wow..." She gasped in awe as she saw a whirlpool bathtub, a separate walk-in rain showers for two, and a confined space for an infrared sauna. It was not just a bathroom. It was a private spa! She must admit, she missed this kind of lavish lifestyle. It was convenient and comfortable. Oh, how she wanted to try out that whirlpool bath in their bathroom right now, but she wanted to do it unrestrained when no one else was around. And right now, Xander was still there, in the room. So, perhaps later... When she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Xander in the middle of arranging a pillow and a comforter on a large couch, which was facing a large flat-screen television. "I will sleep here, so you take the bed," he said casually. Yera did not respond because he only did what she had requested before. She told him that she would not share a bed with him, so one of them should sleep on the couch. Yera sighed. Xander was actually a gentleman. "Let''s go shopping and buy you more things. I bet the stuff in your suitcase only fits half of the closet''s first row," Xander jested. Yera unknowingly smiled because it was true. "We don''t need to buy. I''m already used to wearing simple clothes like this, and what I have is enough." "Nah¡­ Come on," Xander insisted as he grabbed Yera''s hand to walk out of the room. Yera stared at his grasp on her hand. Weird... But for some reason, she felt comfortable with him holding her hand like that. They saw Senior Yang in the living room, and Xander informed him, "We''ll go out to buy some things for Yera. I''ll let you know if we''ll join you for dinner." Senior Yang nodded and said, "Alright... Enjoy¡­" "What do you think about my daughter-in-law? Isn''t she pretty? My son really knows how to choose well," Senior Yang bragged to their head butler, Garry. "Yes, Sir. I hope your wish of having a grandchild will be granted soon," said Butler Garry with a broad smile on his face as he poured a cup of coffee for his master. "Well, just make sure we give them enough privacy if you know what I mean. Just don''t disturb them when they''re alone. How about this? Let''s come up with a plan to get those two grow even more attached to each other?" Senior Yang suggested, to which Butler Garry nodded in agreement. ......¡­.. Xander brought Yera to one of the most exclusive boutiques in the city, in which there was a vast collection of branded clothes, shoes, and bags which she could choose from. But Yera was still hesitant. Xander began to choose some outfits for her, and his enthusiasm made it seem like he was the one who was going to wear them all. Yera could not help but smile and commented, "Are you the one who''s going to wear all that?" Xander laughed and answered, "Well, you still look so reluctant to choose, so I''m just helping you out. Go try them on and see if they fit. I bet they''ll all look good on you, though. I have a great eye for fashion, darling." Her heart would beat irregularly whenever Xander called her ''Darling''. Just like now. So she immediately turned around and went toward one of the fitting rooms to hide her reddening cheeks. Xander was still smiling as his eyes followed Yera''s back. "She''s now smiling without her knowing," he mumbled. He deliberately didn''t say anything about her smiling because he was afraid she would be more self-conscious about it and would only try to hide it next time. He could feel that they were progressing somehow. Tomorrow, Yera would report for duty as a new Doctor at Yang Hospital. Although she would still go by Deyna''s identity because she didn''t want to reveal her true identity yet.. Yera went out of the fitting room, and Xander could only stare at her in amazement. She looked so stunning in the dress she was trying on. He cursed inwardly because he could feel his buddy down there stir. Had he become a pervert ever since he met her? More precisely, ever since she gave him that hug in front of Bernard''s apartment that day. "Is this medium size? Okay, I think this one fits well," she heard Yera talk to the saleslady. Xander shifted his gaze to the row of shoes and picked a pair of them to divert his corrupt thoughts. "What''s your size?" he asked Yera, who immediately gave him the information. "Sit here," Xander instructed, to which Yera obeyed. He kneeled down to put the shoes on her feet. Yera hesitated and said, "No¡­ I can do it myself." But Xander pretended he didn''t hear her, as he proceeded to gently pull her leg and guided her foot into the shoe. But instantly, he was cursing inside. Why didn''t he just listen to Yera and let her do it by herself? The sight of Yera''s smooth legs was distracting him. He abruptly stood up. His buddy seemed to be overly excited at the sight of Yera''s bare legs. ''What''s wrong with you? It''s only perfectly shaped legs¡­ It''s not the first time you see legs! How come you''re reacting like this!'' Xander scolded his buddy below... "We''ll get all these¡­" Xander quickly murmured to the saleslady to divert his attention from Yera. Then he went toward the bags shelves to select a few bags for her. Because he needed to distract himself. Because if he didn''t, he was sure he would end up just grabbing Yera. Chapter 19 - You Asked For This "Get me an appointment with Rui tomorrow!" Xander instructed his assistant on the phone while he was selecting a few more bags for Yera. Rui was his doctor and closest friend, who was also the only person in their hospital who knew about his condition. Something abnormal was definitely going on with his body. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before. His body kept reacting uncontrollably to Yera, and it actually alarmed him. ''Geez, before you were complaining because you couldn''t get your buddy up, and now when it finally gets up at its own will, you are complaining too. What do you want, dude?'' He chided himself. He was sure Rui would say the same thing to him tomorrow. Xander scratched the back of his head irritably¡­ And smiled awkwardly at a saleslady whom he caught staring at him. Even that awkward smile could still make the young woman blush. And Yera saw that. She could only shake her head. Fine, she concurred, this man was indeed an eye candy, who could just captivate anyone effortlessly with his smile, which was still his best asset. ''Did he plan to buy all of those bags?'' She mused, seeing Xander was choosing even more. "Stop buying. This is more than enough¡­" Yera said from behind Xander, which startled him. "Are you alright?" Yera asked as she looked closely at Xander''s flustered face. She naturally touched his face. "Your temperature is normal, but how come your face is flushed like that? You''re sweating too," Yera asked with a furrowed forehead. "Let me feel your pulse," Yera offered and was about to grab Xander''s wrist when Xander abruptly moved away from her. He randomly grabbed a pair of shoes. "I''m fine. Go try on these shoes," Xander reassured her with a smile on his face, and immediately shifted his gaze to the saleslady as he instructed her, "We''ll also get this one and that one¡­" Then he sighed in relief when Yera finally left him to follow another saleslady to try on some shoes. If he was already this flustered now, he wondered how he would survive sharing a room with Yera. ''Good luck to me,'' he consoled himself. Yera was feeling exhausted after trying on many different outfits and shoes. She felt like a mannequin that was being dressed by Xander. But she must admit, Xander had good taste in fashion indeed, as he had claimed before. She loved all of his picks, to the point that she ended up accepting everything from him. They were done shopping and were now inside his car. "Let''s have dinner somewhere first. What do you want to eat?" Xander asked as he was driving. "We can just have dinner at home with your father," Yera suggested. She actually liked Senior Yang''s presence. He made her feel comfortable, and he reminded her of the late Chief Doctor Song, who had always treated her like his real daughter. "Hmm, actually, I would like to try this new restaurant nearby," Xander murmured. He had actually already asked his assistant to book a table there because he would like to celebrate their marriage with just the two of them. "Okay. I''m fine with anything," Yera said casually. They arrived at the restaurant, and Yera immediately loved the place. It has an idyllic atmosphere with a cozy and inviting interior where one could forget the hustle-bustle of the city and would be transported to the countryside. The building looked like a big pavilion, strewn with apple blossoms, with retractable glass roof, which allowed the guests to dine beneath the stars. A waiter led them to their table. "This place is lovely," Yera marveled. Xander smiled at her and said, "Yeah, I heard it''s a nice place, so I wanted to bring you here. I''m glad you like it." Then he asked her what she would like to eat. The food was also great, and the two enjoyed it. After dinner, Xander asked if she would like to have a glass of wine, to which Yera eagerly agreed. If there was one thing that Yera loved, it was to enjoy expensive wines. Suddenly they heard some music playing from the small stage in the middle of the restaurant. A host was standing in the middle and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a special event for all the couples here tonight. We would like to ask a volunteer to participate. He or she must be dining here with their romantic partner. He or she will then grace us with a song for their partner. If the partner were pleased with the performance... well, then obviously he or she would get something nice from their partner tonight, right?" The host joked to which the audience responded with a roar of laughter. Then he continued, "But... if our volunteer could also please the audience with their performance, then the prize will be a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951." Yera''s eyes widened at the mention of the wine. It is one of the most expensive bottles of wine in the world. Without hesitating, she raised her hand and exclaimed, "Here! My husband will sing! For me¡­" Xander''s jaw dropped as he looked at Yera in disbelief. The other guests cheered for him while the host urged him to come to the stage with Yera. He protested, "What the heck!?" Yera just shrugged her shoulders and said, "I want that wine. Get it for me." "I''ll buy it for you instead!" Xander whispered, trying to negotiate, but Yera ignored him. She did not know why, but she would really want to see Xander being put on the spot like this. "Why spend money if you could get it for free? Just sing, it will save us the cost," Yera insisted as she was grinning inside, thinking that Xander would not be a good singer, based on his reaction. "Don''t worry, if you get embarrassed, I''ll back you up!" Yera declared proudly. She wanted to at least beat Xander at singing because she was good at it. Xander was still looking at her in disbelief, but he quickly conceded and murmured, "Okay, you asked for this, yeah?" Then he turned around to the musicians to inform them of the song title before he grabbed the microphone. And as soon as the music played he held Yera''s waist with his other hand and pulled her closer toward him, so she would face him. Then he began to sing¡­ "Ohhhh¡­" the guests gushed, hearing how soothing Xander''s voice was. Some had even pulled their partner to the front of the stage and began to dance... ''Would you always be mine? Oh, darling, would you always be mine¡­ Don''t you know I can''t afford to lose you? Oh, my darling, so please always be mine¡­'' Yera''s eyes widened as she listened to Xander sing. ''No way...'' She mused. Who would have thought that Xander Yang was an excellent singer? Yera was mesmerized by his singing voice. His eyes never left hers as he sang the song. It was as if he was only singing to her. And there it goes again... The irregular beating of her heart. As she stared back into his eyes, she unknowingly blushed... Chapter 20 - Catch Me If You Can "Why do you look so sulky? I got that red wine for you as you requested," Xander asked, totally confused as to why Yera didn''t look happy at all. Yera didn''t answer. Instead, she just opened the wine bottle and drank the expensive wine directly from it. Xander was flabbergasted by this woman''s oddball behavior, so he carefully asked, "Don''t take this the wrong way, but are you perhaps on your period?" Yera burst out laughing and drank more. No, she wasn''t on her period, but her pride was nagging at the back of her mind. She had always been in competition with Xander for years, and she had often ended up losing. Fine, she had come to terms with the fact that he was better at her when it comes to personality. The man was evidently a social butterfly while she was an ice witch. But how come he was still better at her even at singing? ''What''s with you? Get over it! You''re no longer competing with him. He''s your ally now, remember?'' Her inner-self snapped. She realized how bad her mood was right now. Especially after she saw him smiling at everyone, including those women, who were obviously drooling over him. "Geez, what is wrong with me?" She murmured as she gulped more wine from the bottle. Xander was taken aback and looked at her with his mouth agape. ''How did Bernard fall for her? She''s totally nuts!'' He frowned as he watched Yera downing almost the whole bottle of wine on her own. ''Yeah? Well, how come you like her too?'' Another voice from his subconscious jeered at him. Xander quickly brushed it off. "Hey, are you planning to drink it all by yourself?" He asked as he offered his glass to Yera, gesturing for her to at least give him a taste of his reward. After all, it was he who had to sing in front of the crowd, something he did not normally do, just to get that bottle of wine. Yera poured him some of the wine and answered nonchalantly, "Here. But you saw me drinking directly from the bottle. So it probably has my saliva in it." Xander twitched his mouth. Then he grinned and said, "It''s okay. We kissed already, and it''s sweet." Yera just glared at him before she asked in a menacing voice, "Hmm, can I trust you? I''m planning to get drunk tonight. Will I be safe with you? I''m not myself when I''m drunk, so I''m warning you in advance, don''t you dare take advantage of me." Xander almost choke on his drink when he heard those words. He looked at Yera in disbelief as he defended himself, "Excuse me, what do you think of me? I don''t do things without consent." Yera narrowed her eyes as she retorted, "You kissed me without my consent just this morning." Xander coughed at her comeback. He then reassured her, "Don''t worry. I wouldn''t do anything to you unless you agreed to it. Of course, when you''re sober." Yera laughed scornfully but did not say a word as she continued to drink. True enough, the drunken Yera was totally different than the sober Yera. To call the drunken Yera a handful, was quite an understatement. Xander had a hard time getting her out of the restaurant and into his car as drunken Yera suddenly decided that she would love to play a game of tag! In which Xander was the tagger, and she was the one running away to avoid being tagged by the tagger. So there he was, chasing her around inside the restaurant and outside in the parking lot, trying to grab her while she was evidently having the time of her life, trying to dodge him, the tagger. He left the restaurant feeling embarrassed after apologizing to the other guests and the waiters. Even after they arrived at their house, Yera was still full of energy. "Young master, do you need any help?" Butler Gary asked as he signaled one of their helpers to help intercept the young mistress when he saw his young master struggling to catch her as she ran around the mansion like a crazy woman. "Your young mistress should be... No! She MUST be banned from the wine cellar! Take note of that!" Xander bellowed in exasperation as he was trying to grab hold of his wife, who was obviously still under the impression that they were playing the game of tag, as she kept giggling and taunting her tagger with, "Catch me if you can...!" "Just leave us. I can handle her," Xander declared with knitted eyebrows as he quickly ran after Yera, who was now on her way to the second floor. Xander cursed. Who would have thought the prim and proper ice queen, Yera Han, could act this childish when she was drunk. He looked at the cameras along the corridor and smiled. There was evidence, and he could definitely use it to tease her later. "What''s going on?" Senior Yang asked Butler Gary when he heard the commotion. "Uhm, it''s the young mistress, Sir. I think she''s drunk, and the young master is now chasing her." Senior Yang chuckled and said, "All of you go to sleep! Don''t disturb them. Let them play¡­ Go, go¡­. I don''t want to see any of you here tonight." "Noted, Sir¡­" Butler Gary replied before he walked away to relay the Old Master''s order to the rest of his staff. Xander paused for a moment as he tried to catch his breath. He put his hands on his hips while he inhaled and exhaled air from his lungs to relieve his frustration. Xander proceeded to remove his coat and tie before he started to walk again as he unbuttoned the first two buttons on his shirt. "Stop it, Yera," Xander said when he finally had her cornered at the end of the corridor. Yera looked at him with a carefree smile, and it entirely stunned him. ''Maybe, I should let her play more?'' he suddenly contemplated as that smile had seemed to bewitch him. The soft expression that was beaming all over her face right now was priceless to Xander. He would love to see it often. "What? But it''s fun¡­" Yera said, giggling, in a drunk voice. Xander snapped back to reality upon hearing her drunk voice. He twitched his mouth and moved swiftly to grab her and carried her on his shoulder like a sack of rice before she could run away again. "No, no, no... Let go¡­ Let me play! I want to play hide-and-seek," Yera whined as she moved around, trying to squirm her way out of Xander''s hold. But Xander held her still. He smacked her butt and said, "Pah! Stay still! What hide-and-seek? If you want to play, we''ll play inside our room!" Inside their room, Xander gently put Yera on the bed before he locked the door with a pin code so she could not escape. He sighed and breathed heavily as he sat down on the couch. He was exhausted because it had been quite a long day for both of them. All he wanted right now was to wind down and relax on the comfortable sofa. But unfortunately for him, Yera was not cooperative at all. To his horror, she popped up in front of him again, still full of energy, as she frowned and whined, "I want to play! Let''s play!" Before Xander could react, Yera already jumped on him. She was sitting on his lap, smiling and giggling while she pinched and stretched his cheeks, left and right. Then she complained, "How could this face be so flexible? How could it smile all the time? Face, tell me your secret! Why are you so flexible, and why is mine so stiff!? My jaw hurts if I try to smile often¡­ My own face is not supportive of me..." Xander was at a loss for words. No, not because of her pinching and stretching his face like it was a play-doh. Nor was it because of her prattle. But because of the awkward position that they were currently in. Yera was sitting on his lap in a W-sitting position. She was wearing a short dress which had now raised up to her hips, exposing all of her legs, and her panties too. "This is not good!" he cried out loudly. ''This is good!'' a perverted voice with an evil grin murmured from inside his head. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only. Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 21 - A Plea Xander''s body froze when Yera brushed his lips with her fingers, trailing its shape as she whispered, "Why do you always smile? How can you genuinely curve these lips upward so often? You have to teach me..." Yera leaned closer as she put her focus entirely on Xander''s enticing lips. She murmured, "Maybe I should touch them with my lips instead. Perhaps that way, your smiling lips will rub off on mine... And then my lips will effortlessly smile often, like yours." Xander blinked his eyes several times at her words. He understood what she was saying, but he didn''t expect that she would really do it. Before he could move, he felt Yera''s lips pressed against his, and his body weakened. ''Oh, crap...!'' He cursed inside. His brain was telling him to push her away, so he touched Yera''s shoulders to do that, but she quickly moved to dodge it, as her arms comfortably encircled his neck. "Hmm, your lips are soft and a bit juicy¡­ It tastes yummy," Yera murmured when she let go of his lips, only to capture them once more as she ran her tongue along his lips, tasting them. Xander sat frozen still in his spot, looking at her in defeat with misty eyes. ''Oh, God¡­'' Xander panicked. He could feel his blood surge throughout his whole body, down to his little buddy. "Yera, you have to move away from me, please," Xander pled, with a voice as weak as a whimper. He could feel the irregular beating of his own heart. Yera pulled her lips away from his, just a little bit, and stared directly into his eyes with pouty lips, as she said, "Smile first. Give me that sweet smile, that''s always plastered on your face." "Huh?" Xander was perplexed. He felt that he wouldn''t be able to control his urge any moment now... "I said, smile¡­!" Yera whined, still pouting her lips. Xander quickly obeyed her, thinking it would soon be over if he just did whatever she asked him to do. "There... Keep smiling while I copy it with my lips.." Said Yera, giggling. "W-what?!" Xander blurted, but it was too late. Yera suddenly attacked his lips in one swift motion. She kissed him. Her luscious lips pressed against his, sizing them, rubbing them, licking them, prying them open, as though she was really trying to study his lips and copy them. ''What is she doing? This will be the death of me...'' Xander complained as he tried his best to stay as still as possible, like a statue. But it was extremely challenging. The harder Xander tried to ignore it, the more the fire that had already been ignited inside of him, burned. "Yera, please¡­" he pled, in between her kisses. He was not even so sure anymore if he was begging her to stop or begging her for more. Yera stopped. She had a disappointed look on her face. But then her expression changed into a seductive one. She gave him her most charming smile. "Oh, crap...!" Xander cursed, helplessly. He swiftly grabbed Yera''s nape of her neck and pulled her in for a wild and passionate kiss. He crushed his lips against hers hungrily, and as soon as his lips couldn''t get enough anymore, he pried her lips open to slide his tongue into her mouth, and deepened the kiss. He mumbled in between his kisses, "This is how you properly copy my lips, darling. This is how you could master my wonderful smile." Yera blinked her eyes upon hearing she could copy Xander''s smile correctly. She moved her upper body as she answered his kiss, making Xander''s head lean back on the couch''s headrest. Yera''s body writhed against his. Xander was getting drunk from their kiss, and his tongue plunged even deeper into her mouth as he couldn''t get enough of it. His hands began to roam around her curves, from her hips to her waist... The more Yera''s tongue was battling against his inside their mouths, the more he was at a loss as to what to do with his little buddy down there. He could feel it get harder and harder in between his thighs. It was the first time Xander had ever experienced a sensation as crazy as this. They said it was normal. A healthy man would experience this around an attractive woman. Well, he had been with all kinds of attractive women from all over the world, waiting to experience this kind of sensation. But it was all in vain. Deep inside, Xander was rejoicing. He could finally call himself NORMAL! After a long drought period, his buddy was finally erect, saluting actively to the woman who was currently in his arms. He could almost cry in ecstasy! This was the moment he had been waiting for. He heard himself moan when Yera naturally squirmed her buttocks against his erection, while she touched and caressed his chest. She was so soft... So very soft. Her skin felt smooth in his hand as he caressed her bare waist. He moved his hand inside her dress to touch her upper body. He wanted to feel her bare breasts in his hands. Yera really had a perfect body. Every dress looked good on her. From top to bottom, every part of her body looked sexy in his eyes. He was about to remove Yera''s bra from beneath her dress when he felt her pause. He looked at her, only to see her looking at him with her usual cold expression. And then... ''SMACK!" She had just slapped his face. With narrowed eyes, she snorted, "Who gave you permission to undress me, you pervert? I only need your lips¡­ I''m tired now... And sleepy. So don''t you dare take advantage of me." "Huh?" Xander was dumbfounded. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been splashed on his face. Then he felt Yera''s face nestle on his neck as she started breathing heavily¡­ "What... the... hell... just... happened?" Xander puzzled as he heard Yera snore lightly in his ear. Xander pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. Yes, he was sure now. Yera was absolutely a crazy woman that should be banned from drinking any kind of alcoholic drinks. Or else she would definitely be the death of him! Chapter 22 - Rare Coincidence Yera woke up on a comfortable bed. However, her head was spinning around, and it felt too heavy. She cursed, this feeling only happened to her whenever she was hungover. "Tsk, did I drink a lot last night?" She muttered. "Rise and shine, darling¡­" Xander greeted her with a tray of breakfast food in his hand and of course, his heartwarming smile. "Do you want to have breakfast in bed, or on the table? Hmm, never mind, breakfast in bed is better. I bet you''re hungover, so I''ll feed you instead," Xander offered as he sat beside Yera on the bed. Yera was in a daze, as usual, from Xander''s cheerful greeting. She didn''t know how to react. She noticed the presence of dark circles under Xander''s eyes, so she asked, "Didn''t you sleep? You have eyebags¡­" Xander gave her a cheeky smile as he snorted, "Don''t you remember what you did to me last night?" Yera''s eyes widened, "Oh, did I do something crazy?! I often heard that I do crazy things when I''m drunk, but I don''t usually remember what happens as soon as I''m sober." Xander sighed and held the spoon. "Eat first, this soup is good for hangovers. Let''s talk about it later because you need to get ready for work," Xander commented as he blew on the soup he collected from a single dip into the bowl by the spoon to make sure it was not that hot. Yera blushed and grabbed the spoon from Xander''s hand as she timidly said, "I can eat on my own." Xander did not release the spoon, and instead, a gentle smile formed on his face as he said in his most soothing tone, "Don''t be stubborn now. Your husband wants to serve you well, so let me feed you." "Ahh¡­" Xander gestured for Yera to open her mouth. She felt a bit awkward, but her headache stopped her from arguing with him and so she meekly did what he instructed. After breakfast, Xander left her so she could get herself ready, and said that he would wait for her in the car. Yera took a quick shower and dressed up. Today, she would start working at Yang Hospital as their new general surgeon. She had mixed feelings; nervous, and excited at the same time. This would be her comeback as a surgeon, and she would do it at one of the most prominent and well-known hospitals in the city¡­ She looked at her reflection in the mirror and tried to smile. Finally, she would be able to step inside an operating room again, instead of assisting the doctor in charge of the emergency room at a small hospital she was working at. She missed performing surgeries. Money really talked. Xander could give her Yera Han''s credentials under the name of Deyna Song because he had money. Xander was smiling as soon as he saw Yera emerging from the front door of the mansion. Last night she tortured him a lot, causing him not to fall asleep at all. But in return, he got to watch her calm and beautiful face when she was deep asleep. He came into the final conclusion that he liked Yera a lot. He wanted her badly. Who would have thought that he and Bernard would also have the same taste in women? So he vowed to do his best to capture Yera''s heart, and to make her stay by his side forever. Yera gasped for a second, seeing Xander standing and leaning his back on the front passenger seat''s door, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked manly and undeniably handsome, just like Bernard. From where she was standing, it was really as if she was seeing Bernard. He smiled and proceeded to open the car door for her, just like what Bernard would often do for her. A thought suddenly sprung into her mind. Being near Xander was actually not such a bad idea at all. That way, she would be able to see Bernard''s face in him whenever she missed Bernard. Yera and Xander arrived together at the hospital. They were about to enter the elevator from the basement parking lot when Yera halted her steps. "You go first. It wouldn''t be good to go in together. I''ll meet you in your office," Yera suggested before the elevator door closed. All throughout his way to his office, Xander was greeted respectfully by each of his staff. He saw assistant Ron and instructed, "Get the chief surgeon in my office." The latter quickly obeyed. As soon as assistant Ron relayed the message, the chief surgeon promptly reported to him and was immediately introduced to doctor Deyna Song. "Doctor Gong, this is my wife, so please take good care of her. And please keep the fact that she''s my wife confidential between the three of us. We got married in secret, so we prefer to keep it that way, at least for now, until I personally announce it. I actually prefer that she stays at home and just enjoy being pampered, but she insisted on pursuing her career, so¡­" Xander explained but stopped when Yera nudged his side. Yera interrupted by extending her hand to the chief surgeon and said, "It''s nice to meet you, doctor Leo Gong¡­ I really admire you. You''re one of the few surgeons I really look up to." Doctor Leo Gong stood frozen in his spot, his face paled as he stared at Yera, as though he had just seen a ghost. Before he entered Xander''s office, assistant Ron had already informed him about the significant facial similarities between their CEO''s wife and the late former CEO of the Life Hospitals Group, Yera Han. But the likeness was so striking, it was like they were twins! He had not met Yera Han personally, but he had often seen her photographs in various medical articles. "Ron, come in here and give the confidentiality agreement to Dr. Gong so he can sign it," instructed Xander on the phone, which awakened Dr. Gong from his state of daze. He smiled and quickly accepted Dr. Deyna Song''s hand and shook it. ''Such a rare coincidence,'' he mused on the fact that their CEO''s wife was a surgeon too, just like the famous Yera Han, to whom she bore resemblance... Chapter 23 - A Hard Time Yera was about to walk out of Xander''s office with Dr. Gong to head toward the Surgery Department. Dr. Gong was going to introduce Yera to everyone in the surgical team. Xander was about to follow them, but Yera stopped him. "Why would the CEO come to introduce me? Do you want people to get suspicious? I want to be recognized for my own capabilities and not be labeled as someone who got in because of a big fortress on my back," Yera scolded him. Dr. Gong couldn''t help but grin but quickly dismissed it when Xander threw him a glare. "Alright. Go then, you two..." Xander conceded as he gestured for the two to leave his office. After an hour of waiting, Xander put on his lab coat and roamed around the hospital to check on patients. But in all actuality, he was just curious to see what and how Yera was doing. "When will Rui arrive?" Xander asked assistant Ron, who was walking behind him together with his secretary. "Sir, he will arrive anytime today. He said he''ll call or visit you directly¡­" answered assistant Ron. "Tsk¡­ How dare he leave on vacation without my permission," Xander scoffed. He was in a profound dilemma and would need Rui''s psychiatric expertise to help him because Rui was the only doctor who knew about his condition at the hospital. "What about the renovation progress of Yera''s personal office?" Xander asked. "It is still ongoing, Sir¡­" answered secretary Ness. Xander nodded. Of course, he would give his wife her own office, where she could rest, although she insisted on using the staff''s regular on-call room. Then something suddenly dawned on him, and he paused his steps. He turned around to face his two employees. "The on-call room, do we have separate ones for male and female?" He asked with a frown on his face. "Sir, we only have one on-call room that is equipped with everything that our staff needs when they require it," answered assistant Ron. Secretary Ness seconded with a nod. She even remarked how pampered their staff is since the room could be mistaken for a hotel room. "But there are cameras everywhere, right?" asked Xander, who looked displeased, hearing his wife would possibly have to stay with other men in one room in case duty called. Assistant Ron nodded and said, "There are cameras in every corner, except the shower room and the restroom¡­" "Make sure to finish Yera''s office early!" said Xander. Secretary Ness could sense why her boss suddenly seemed wary, so she suggested, "Sir, if you''re uncomfortable with Dr. Song''s sleeping arrangement in the on-call room, you can always ask her to sleep in your office." She only found out today about her boss and Dr. Deyna Song''s marriage from assistant Ron. And just like Dr. Gong, she also had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Xander''s face lit up as he winked at his secretary and smiled, "Brilliant idea, Ness. Because of that, you''ll receive an extra bonus this month." The secretary''s lips curved from ear to ear as she thanked her boss for his generosity while assistant Ron could only scratch his head while he scolded himself for not being the one who came up with the suggestion. "Yowww, Physician CEO Yang!" a familiar voice that was coming from Xander''s back startled the three of them. It was Rui, who was smiling widely as he pulled his suitcase. Secretary Ness''s face started to redden as she saw another handsome Doctor. Assistant Ron''s face twisted as he whispered, "How come your face only blush when you see a selected few of handsome doctors? Why doesn''t it blush when you see me¡­? I''m also quite handsome¡­" Secretary Ness'' face crumpled as she cried silently, "Handsome, my foot¡­" Xander looked at the two assistants and instructed them to go back to his office. He then followed Rui to his office. "How dare you¡­" Xander started when they were already inside Rui''s office. The later only laughed and threw him a bag of chips. "There, try that Dr. CEO. It tastes awesome¡­" Rui said, grinning. Xander opened the bag of chips while Rui sat comfortably in his chair. "So, did you enjoy your mini vacation?" Xander asked as he began to bite on the chips. "Oh, this is good," he remarked. Rui laughed and said, "I have more. But, anyway, what is it that''s so important that you had to bug me during my wonderful vacation? You still look pretty normal to me, so what''s with the ''I''m going crazy soon'' messages? The heck, Xander, I''m not even tanned enough..." Xander laughed, but his face turned serious when he looked at Rui as he began to narrate his story. "So, this is what happened while you were gone¡­" Rui was like a brother to Xander, so he was comfortable telling him every single detail. Rui already knew about Xander''s picky little buddy, who only reacted to one particular woman, and the two of them even celebrated it. But Xander had never mentioned who the woman was. He thought he was already cured, and any other women would be able to arouse him as long as he found them attractive. So, he felt the woman''s identity would not have mattered. But then to his disappointment, his little buddy was only interested in Yera. Rui made himself a cup of coffee as he listened to his friend describe everything from the beginning. And as soon as Xander was done, the first question Rui asked was, "Does Bernard''s father know?" Xander nodded as he explained, "Yes. He wanted me to take care of Yera. He reassured me that Bernard would absolutely want the same thing. He was actually happy for me¡­ And he only hoped that Yera could soon move on with her own life and with her real identity." "He knew about the contract too?" Rui asked in disbelief. Xander frowned and quickly answered, "Of course not! I mean, we did get married for real. And that contract¡­ The truth is¡­ I will tear it apart soon..." Rui laughed out loud. Xander was very vocal about him liking Yera Han, and that he was on a mission to make her his wife, in the truest sense of the word. "I have to meet her in person to assess if you even have the slightest chance on her, my friend¡­" Rui teased Xander, laughing at the crumpled face of his friend. Just from assessing Xander''s reaction at the moment, he could tell that Xander was already having a hard time... Chapter 24 - Fight or Flight Even as Vermillion Phoenix graced the material world with its presence, I was already running and making for my house. When Cecilia Stuart said that my summoned beasts weren''t invincible, she as more right than she knew. Not in the way she imagined, though. As Vermillion Phoenix unleashed its flames, the passengers who had just disembarked from the car immediately erected barriers to defend themselves. Fire washed over their golden, glowing spheres, but did not break through them as it did against Chang Cheng''s Fortress spell. Of course it wouldn''t. These were professionals. They had way more combat experience and strength than a mere student. Already, a few of them were retaliating. One of them had produced a sword-type Divine Device and was slashing at Vermillion Phoenix. My summoned beast guarded against the strike with its huge wings, but it was sent staggering from the impact. A second assailant produced a magical bow and sent arrows of light screaming toward Vermillion Phoenix, who unleashed fiery feathers in return to counter the volley. Explosions rocked through the air, the collision of the projectiles causing them to detonate violently. Even though my Vermillion Phoenix was having a bit of difficulty dealing with these kidnappers, it didn''t necessarily mean that I would lose. My summoned beast was still a top-notch monster with tremendous power. Just one careless mistake would be enough to see them incinerated into a crisp, and there was no boundary field to guarantee their lives this time. "Ugh!" One of them finally succumbed to the overwhelming flames and was incinerated into a crisp. "Horie!" one of the guys shrieked. "Damn you, fucking brat!" "Kill him!" "Wait, don''t kill him! We need him alive!" Yeah, I mean, what was the point of kidnapping me and holding Dad to ransom if you ended up killing me? More like you would end up incurring his wrath as he hunted every single one of your organization down and destroyed you to the last man. "He''s getting close to the barrier!" "Stop him!" They suddenly realized that while my Vermillion Phoenix was distracting them, I had already gotten within a millimeter of my own home. The kidnapper closest to me launched an arrow, but I was already ducking. My Vermillion Phoenix conjured a firewall and incinerated the arrow¡­or tried to, but the powerful projectile burst through the firewall without much effort. Good thing I instinctively dodged, or I would have been hit. I thought they weren''t supposed to kill me? In any case, my assailants were breaking away from my Vermillion Phoenix and literally hurling themselves at me. A couple of them were incinerated by my Vermillion Phoenix ¨C but evidently they didn''t care about sacrificing their lives as long as they achieved their objective. In a way, they were a lot scarier than the usual abductors. This wasn''t the first time, however. I was already used to such fanatics. Rarely did I have to directly combat them, though, but it wasn''t unprecedented. That was why I already knew how to deal with the situation. "No!" "Don''t let him get away!" I dove under a swinging sword and slid right through the front yard. My pursuers made to follow, but the guy in the lead suddenly screamed. There was a sharp crack and he spontaneously combusted, hellish flames devouring him. Slowly getting to my feet, I dismissed my Vermilion Phoenix, which was slowly getting weighed down by dozens of attacks. Even though I said it wouldn''t necessarily lose, there was only one of it, and several of the enemies. There was no sense subjecting it to an unnecessary battle and allowing the poor guy to get hurt. "Fuck!" "That kid got away!" "We were too slow!" The kidnappers were swearing and cursing as they watched me from behind the barrier. If I was a little more childish, I would give them the finger and taunt them, but I was too tired to deal with their bullshit. So I decided to just go home. I should inform my Dad. Before I could reach the door, however, it burst open and Dad stood there, having been alerted when someone got incinerated by the fiery barrier he had set up around our home. He looked at me, and then glanced at the now silent group outside the house. Within a few seconds, everything clicked and he understood what had just happened. "I see you''ve been taking good care of my son." Crossing his arms, he strode across the lawn while putting himself between me and the interlopers in a protective manner. With a snap of his fingers, he summoned Angelica. "The Angel of Fire!" "Run!" The kidnappers scrambled back to their cars, trying to evade Angelica''s flames. A couple of them were too slow, and screamed as they were caught by her fireballs and spontaneously combusted into ashes. "Angelica, don''t let them get away." "Understood." The divine spirit rose to the air and launched a few fireballs at the cars, destroying them in short order. The first couple of dudes who made it into the car immediately perished, their bodies charred black and leaving nothing but scorched bones. The rest froze. "Leave a couple of them alive, so that we can interrogate them," Dad instructed Angelica while he walked through the barrier. Raising his hand, he activated his Divine Device, a golden sword whose blade immediately blazed into life. The abductors shuddered when they saw him slowly approaching them, and tried to leave, but Angelica swung her hands down and unleashed several torrents of flames that was not unlike Vermillion Phoenix''s inferno, creating a ring of fire that trapped them. With no way out, the lot of them were gradually incinerated by Angelica, or cut down by Dad. They tried to fight back, but their attacks had no effect on Angelica, and Dad was too fast. He evaded their strikes easily and slashed them into pieces. The golden flames on his sword burst into life and consumed his victims, turning them into screaming, aflame skeletons. "I thought you said to leave some alive!" Angelica called out from above. "They''re not all dead yet," Dad pointed out as he closed in on the sole survivor. The poor guy shrieked and fell back on his rump, desperately trying to scuttle away, only to find himself trapped by the flames. "P¡­please¡­!" he begged, openly weeping. "Would you have let my son go if he asked?" Dad asked. The guy gaped at him, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn''t answer. Dad smiled grimly and shook his head in mock disappointment. "I thought so." With a single slash, he cut off the guy''s arm, causing him to howl in pain. Fortunately, the guy didn''t get incinerated, with Dad''s attack leaving a cauterized stump. As he rolled on the ground, clutching at his shoulder and shrieking, Dad mercilessly grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up. "If you don''t want to lose your other arm, you will answer my questions honestly and accurately. Is that understood?" The guy wept, tears streaming down his pale cheeks, but he managed to nod. "Don''t you want to leave him alive?" Angelica asked, bewildered. "He''s still alive, isn''t he?" Dad pointed out gruffly, and began dragging the poor guy back into the house. All around us, the flames continued to blaze about, but none of the neighbors poked their heads out to check out the commotion. They were used to this happening on a weekly or monthly basis. This wasn''t exactly a dangerous neighborhood, but everyone knew Dad was a dangerous fella, and were wise enough to keep their heads down whenever the shooting began. I opened the door to allow Dad and our "guest" to step in. Dad nodded at me, and then began hauling the poor guy toward the study room. I made to follow, but Dad raised a hand and gestured for me to stay where I am. "Trust me, you don''t want to see this." I swallowed and nodded, aware of the darker details of Dad''s work. I stepped back and watched as he dragged our "guest" into the study and shut the door. "I wonder who it is this time." Angelica folded her arms as she practically hovered through the door. I briefly wondered why she just didn''t walk. It wasn''t as if our house was big enough for her to float a few meters above the ground. But I didn''t ask, and just nodded. Angelica continued to ponder. "The Night Devil Cult? The Syndicate? The Rufus Corporation? The Triad? The Underground?" "¡­" I tried not to roll my eyes as Angelica listed the list of potential culprits off. Damn, but Dad really made a long list of enemies. Not that he had a choice. I recognized each and every one of them as criminal organizations who indulged in human trafficking, murder, illegal experimentations (creating demonic creatures and performing monstrous surgeries on human guinea pigs for their own medical or military products), and drug smuggling. Needless to say, Dad had clashed with them time and time again, rescuing their victims and busting their illegal operations. I shuddered to think what would happened if I had ended up in their hands. No doubt they would conduct terrifying experiments on me and turn me into some sort of monster. I would rather die if that happened. Granted, I already died once and somehow ended up in this person''s body, but that wasn''t me trivializing death. The experiments they conducted and transformations they wrought were really worse than death. Glancing at the study room, I shook my head and turned toward my room. Whatever the case, I was sure Dad would take care of it, as he had always done since the last five years I had been with him. Chapter 25 - Clingy Xander was on his way to the surgical department to check on Yera when he bumped into Dr. Candice Yao in the hallway. Dr. Yao was the newest addition to their hospital''s pediatrics department. She was not only beautiful but also sociable and easy to approach. She was an excellent fit for the department because she could easily appease the young patients, who were also known to be the most difficult patients to deal with, with her warm personality. "Hello, Dr. Yang!" greeted Candice cheerfully, with her usual bright and white smile. Then she added in a honeyed voice, "Have you had lunch already? If you haven''t, can I ask you to join me?" Xander noticed that the woman was often trying to chat him up ever since the day she started working at their hospital. Not that he was complaining, because he also liked to talk to people. But when it comes to the matter of the opposite sex, he was not dense at all. He knew when a woman was interested in him, and Dr. Yao fit every bit of descriptions of someone who was trying to hit on him. But it could also be her natural friendliness that could often be mistaken for flirtiness by judgmental people. Wait, was he also one of those judgmental people who mistook Dr. Yao''s conviviality for her fondness of him? Xander shook his head and laughed his thoughts off as he scolded himself for being too quick on judging others. He smiled back at Dr. Yao and casually answered, "Sorry, Dr. Yao, but I already have someone to eat lunch with." If it were entirely up to him, he would proudly tell her that the person he was going to eat lunch with was his wife. But then again, he couldn''t do that, for fear of Yera''s safety. Dr. Yao smiled back and said, "Alright, Dr. Yang¡­ Probably next time. Enjoy your lunch then, and see you around." Xander walked past her and failed to catch the wicked smirk on Dr. Yao''s face as she turned around to watch his back. Xander sneaked into the surgical department to see how Yera was doing on her first day at work. But unfortunately, Yera was nowhere to be found. ''Has she gone to lunch without me?'' he murmured as he took out his phone and dialed Yera''s number. Meanwhile, Yera was in the middle of having lunch with her team. She could not say ''No'' when Dr. Ye and the others asked her to eat with them. They were having a good chat as they waited for their orders when her mobile phone rang. ''Oh, shoot!'' she gasped upon seeing the name that appeared on her phone. Then her lips unknowingly formed into a playful grin because of the name she picked to save as Xander''s number. Yera excused herself and went far enough to take the call, making sure her team couldn''t hear her. "Yes?" she simply said upon answering her phone. Blood rushed to Xander''s ears as he repeated Yera''s indifferent way in answering his call, "Yes?" How could this woman be so uncaring even on the phone? "What?" Yera asked curtly as she creased her forehead upon hearing Xander''s upset tone. Xander let out a long sigh and appealed, "Darling¡­ Could you please be a bit sweeter to your husband? Anyway, let''s eat lunch. Where are you?" "Oh, I''m already having lunch with my team at a restaurant nearby. We''re just waiting for our orders." Yera answered, still in an unsympathetic tone, which made Xander''s shoulders slump further down. ''What the...? Didn''t it even cross her mind to ask me if I wanted to have lunch with her or not?'' He lamented before he replied in a dry voice, "Alright, darling, enjoy your lunch and eat well. See you later then¡­" Then he hung up. Yera frowned and wondered, "What''s with him and his voice?" She could sense a tinge of disappointment in Xander''s voice. ''Was he disappointed because he didn''t get to eat with me? But we can''t eat together because it would look suspicious,'' she speculated as she walked back to her team. Rui was going to ask Xander for lunch but got startled upon seeing Xander''s face when he entered his office. "Yoowww, Dr. CEO, let''s have lunch together. Wait¡­ What''s with the long face?" Xander blurted everything out, like a sulky child who was just telling his parents on another child that just stole his toy. Rui responded with a roar of laughter. "What''s with you? Of course she wouldn''t approach you at the hospital because it would look too suspicious! You might as well go public with the news of your marriage with her if you want to flaunt how close you are with her. Which wouldn''t be good for Yera right now..." "But she could have at least told me she was having lunch with her team! Or at least be considerate enough to ask whether or not I''ve already eaten when I called her. She was so cold and unfeeling!" Xander kept protesting. Rui could only laugh at him. "Stop sulking! Let''s just go and eat. You''re just cranky because you''re hungry. Or maybe it''s your natural talent to be a clingy husband!" Rui teased with a grin. Xander''s nostrils flared as he threatened Rui, "Maybe I should consider changing my shrink¡­" Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, please do! That would be awesome! Oh, I can''t wait for the day when I can finally enjoy my vacation without any disturbances..." Xander frowned but couldn''t think of anything as a retort. So he irritably said, "Let''s go, you, slothful psychiatrist!" "After you, our esteemed Dr. CEO¡­" said Rui, still grinning as he held the door open for his friend, who obviously had fallen head over heels for his new wife. He wanted to spill it out for Xander, but he restrained himself. He knew Xander would just deny it and insist that he only liked Yera. But as a psychiatrist, he could see that it was more profound than just a feeling of fondness. "Stop giving me that look!" Xander hissed. He felt uncomfortable as he could sense what Rui was thinking. Rui smiled meaningfully and confronted him, "Tell me then, our dearest Dr. CEO¡­ What kind of look am I giving you?" Xander walked past him and hissed with an arched brow, "Starving look! What else?" Chapter 26 - Wont Be A Bad Idea "Boss, we have captured one of the remaining suspects, but there''s a little problem¡­" reported Ralf from the other side of the line. "What is it?" Xander asked. "He is in a coma at a small hospital in the province¡­" answered Ralf as he reported everything to Xander, without missing a single detail. "Transfer him to our hospital, and make sure to do it discreetly," instructed Xander before he ended the call. Xander stretched his back and neck to relieve muscle stiffness. He was in his study, checking the latest report on Yera and her family''s case. Whoever was behind it was undoubtedly a very capable person. Four culprits were involved in Yera''s abduction, but unfortunately, two had been confirmed dead while the other two had gone missing. Now, Ralf had at least found one of them. Yera would still need to verify the identity of the suspect since she was the only one who could do so. She said she could remember the faces of her kidnappers, except for the one whom she assumed to be the leader. He had planted some people inside the Life Hospitals group because they were the main competitor of his hospital in the capital city. But until now, his people still could not find anything regarding the death of Old Master Han. Xander leaned his head on the headrest of his chair and closed his eyes. He also wanted to know the person behind Yera''s case, and already had some of his people to investigate Yera''s former fiance, Lyndon Chu. But to his surprise, he was clean. He stayed like that for a while, and perhaps because he was a bit exhausted, Xander dozed off. Yera was watching television and noticed that Xander had been in his study for quite a while. Yesterday was a long day for her, so she had gone straight to bed as soon as she was home. Surprisingly, she could sleep like a baby at Yang''s Mansion. She hadn''t had any sleepless nights ever since she moved in there. Those sleepless nights, in which the accident with Bernard would keep replaying in her dream, and would always end up in her waking up in the middle of the night, sweating, crying, and sometimes screaming. She didn''t have that anymore. Today, Xander introduced his best friend to her, who was also one of the best psychiatrists in their country. Like Xander, Dr. Rui Dee seemed to be a carefree and jolly person. Xander told her that Rui knew about her situation and that she could trust him because Rui was like a brother to him. Xander also emphasized that Rui would soon play a vital role in helping her. Yera turned off the television and looked at the wall clock. Then she exhaled loudly... Xander was very thoughtful as he would always message her to remind her not to skip meals. She really appreciated it, but it also made her a bit uncomfortable. She decided that if he still continued to act like a real husband after a week, then she would have no choice but to confront him and remind him that they were just a make-believe couple, so he could stop acting affectionately even in text messages. "He''s overdoing it," she murmured as she looked at the door to Xander''s study. She wondered what that clown was doing in there, so she stood up and walked toward the room. She knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response. So she opened the door and entered the room. She saw Xander sleeping in his chair. "Why is he sleeping here like that? So uncomfortable," she muttered as she walked toward him. She noticed the file on his desk and sighed. It was all about her case, and it was the latest report. Xander was working hard to keep his part of the bargain¡­ She looked at him and gently tapped his shoulder, trying to wake him up. "Xander, wake up¡­ Don''t sleep here¡­ Wake up¡­" Xander moved slightly with a creased forehead, so Yera thought he was already awake, but to her horror, he just snored. "What?!" she burst out as she kept shaking Xander''s shoulder gently and called his name, "Xander¡­ Xander¡­" Xander''s mouth twitched as he stammered drowsily as if he was dreaming, "Stoppp ca-lling me that... Say ''Daaarling''¡­" "Hey! Are you dreaming or acting?" Yera frowned suspiciously. She turned around to leave, but Xander pulled her waist, causing her to fall onto his lap, into his embrace. She tried to squirm her way out of his hold, but Xander hugged her even tighter as he whispered in her ear sluggishly, "How did my pillow become this heavy...? I''m going to scold the butler... I want a light pillow¡­ But, hmmm, this one smells good. And soft too. So it will do." Yera''s face reddened from embarrassment because of the awkward position they were in. She hit his leg and shouted, "Xander Yang, let go of me!!!" Xander continued to let out little snores as he nestled his face on Yera''s back and tightened his arms around her waist. "Call me darling first, and I''ll let you go." "Stop this nonsense, will you? Or I''ll soon kill you!" Yera threatened with gritted teeth. "Say ''Darling'' first¡­''D-a-r-l-i-n-g''¡­" Xander insisted in a sluggish voice as if he was talking in his dream. Yera was running out of patience. With pursed lips, she sighed and conceded. "Darling, let me go¡­" "I can''t hear it¡­ Say ''Darling''¡­" repeated Xander. Yera inhaled and exhaled loudly, followed by the words, "Darling¡­ Darling¡­ Darling¡­" That instant, Xander released her, and Yera immediately stood up to face him. But Xander''s eyes remained closed as he continued breathing heavily. "Are you really sleeping?" Yera asked in disbelief. "Oh¡­ Don''t tell me you have parasomnia?!" Yera gasped as she abruptly woke Xander up because if he really had that, it would be best to wake him up. "Uhm¡­ Why? What happened?" Xander murmured as he opened his eyes and stretched his arms. "Why didn''t you tell me you have a sleeping disorder?" Yera scolded. Xander did not say anything and just stood up. Instead of answering her question, he changed the topic and said, "Ralf will come tomorrow with one of the perpetrators." Then he disclosed the progress of their investigation to Yera. "Go and rest now. I will follow you soon¡­" Xander said, and Yera obeyed. Xander stared at the door as she walked through it, and with an evil smile, he whispered, "Hmm¡­ So I have a sleeping disorder now? Then I guess some episodes of sleepwalking won''t be a bad idea..." Chapter 27 - Aloof Wife The next morning, Yera woke up earlier than Xander and readied herself for work. So far, she had not been a time-poor surgeon because Dr. Gong had not assigned her to any major surgeries yet. She had only been scrubbing in for other surgeon''s operations since it had been a long time since she handled her own surgical procedure. Her excitement grew with each passing day. Operating was not only a job to her, it was also her passion. She loved the feeling of saving people''s lives. It felt like she was a part of the force that would give those people another chance to live, and it gave meaning to her own life. She looked at Xander, who was still sleeping soundly on the couch. She was about to walk to him to fix his blanket but paused and hesitated. "Sleepwalker!" she mumbled, frowning before she went to the bathroom. Xander woke up and saw Yera was no longer on the bed. He looked at the wall clock and noticed it was still early. A beautiful smile curved from his lips before he got up and went to the gym to exercise. Rui had advised him that he should do things that would catch Yera''s attention and pique her curiosity and interest. Yesterday, in the study, he accidentally caught her attention by unintentionally hugging her in his sleep. He didn''t do that deliberately, but Yera''s sweet scent was enough to make his arms move on their own to hug her. He was already awake by the time Yera was hitting his legs, but he wanted to hug her a bit longer, so he pretended he was still sleeping and talking in his sleep. Fortunately, she had mistaken it for a sleeping disorder. And Xander didn''t mind Yera''s misinterpretation at all, nor was he planning to clarify it. At least for now. Because he wanted to use it to his own advantage in the following days. Then his face became sulky as he murmured, "She will soon be swamped with work..." Part of their plan was to introduce Deyna Song as their hospital''s best surgeon. But before they could proceed with that plan, Yera would need to rely on her own capabilities and prove how good she could be inside the operating room by obtaining a high success rate of surgical procedures. That way, Life Hospitals group would make their move to poach her. It was surreptitious, but that was just how things worked in the business world. And private hospitals were still business, even if they claimed that their primary purpose was to cure the sick. Stealing highly qualified doctors or other medical personnel from other hospitals was a common practice because most patients would usually follow the doctors they trusted their lives with. Yera''s revenge would only begin once she started working for the Life Hospitals group, as the well-known Dr. Deyna Song. This was also the main reason Xander had been placing as many of his own people as he could inside the Life Hospitals group. Not only would they be his eyes, but they were also there for Yera''s protection. He suddenly felt sad. If it were entirely up to him, Xander would not want to have Yera out of his sight at all. But it was necessary if he wanted to give her back everything that had been taken away from her. Until that time, he would seize every opportunity to court his aloof wife. "Where is he now?" Yera murmured after she was done showering and saw that Xander was no longer in the room. She went to the dressing table to dry and comb her hair and stared at herself for a while. She realized that she had changed a lot. When she was still Yera Han, she would often apply noticeable makeup, but now she preferred using natural-looking makeup. The table was big. To the left side were her skincare products. She smiled because these were all bought by Xander, and he really did an excellent job investigating her and her routines. He knew which brands she previously used. She looked to the right where Xander''s skincare products were placed¡­ "They use the same brands¡­" She murmured. Bernard also used the same brands. After applying a nude-colored lipstick, Yera stood up and was about to head downstairs to have breakfast with her father-in-law. She was startled by Xander''s sudden presence in the room. He went inside in his bare chest, glistening with sweat, and she was caught off guard. Xander''s bare chest looked a lot like the ones she saw on television, where hot male models would show off their oily chests and their sexy abs¡­ ''What the heck, Yera!'' She snapped. Meanwhile, Xander caught her surprised reaction and grinned. He marched toward her, which made her walk backward and stammered, "Hey! What... What are you doing?" Xander did not respond and continued to move toward her until she was trapped between him and the closet. Yera stood frozen in her spot and could only meet Xander''s gaze, who was extending his arm toward her. "What are you doing!?" Yera panicked. "Getting this," Xander murmured as he showed her the towel in his hand. Then he added with a smirk, "Why? Are you distracted by my manliness? I''m your husband, so you have every permission to do anything on my body. You can do whatever you want with me, Darling¡­" Yera frowned in disbelief and retorted, "Distracted? Why, yes, I''m so distracted! Please move and go take a shower because you stink! Ewww¡­" She quickly bent down to escape Xander''s arms and added dryly before closing the door, "Move faster. I don''t want to starve waiting for you¡­" Senior Yang always wanted all of them to have breakfast together. He would not eat his meal before everyone was properly seated at the table. Xander pouted his lips and smelled himself afterward. "What stink? I don''t stink. Doesn''t she know natural body odor is more sexy and enticing?" He murmured. Then a sly smile curved on his lips as he recalled Yera''s dropped jaw when she saw his manly body. ''Little by little, Xander¡­'' He encouraged himself before he went inside the shower, whistling. Chapter 28 - A Perfect Catch For the first time in his life, Xander felt that the hours he was spending at the hospital were passing by so slowly¡­ He already did his usual routines, but the ticking of the clock still felt so slow. He grabbed his mobile phone to dial assistant Ron''s number and asked, "Where is she? What is she doing?" Upon confirming Yera''s whereabouts, which was in the surgical department''s meeting room, discussing various patients'' cases for surgery with the other surgeons, he instructed, "Order some snacks for them. Make sure they''re tasty..." Assistant Ron immediately obeyed. He ordered some delicious pizzas and have them directly delivered to the surgical department. The pizza delivery arrived, just in time, as soon as the meeting was over, surprising all the department''s members. "Wow, what a good timing¡­" Dr. Rio exclaimed when she saw the pizza boxes that Chief Doctor Gong was receiving. Dr. Gong looked at Yera and said, "Dr. Yang had this delivered as his thanks for our hard work¡­" He threw her a meaningful smile, which made Yera blush. He did not say it, but his eyes were obviously teasing her. "Wait, you mean, Dr. CEO?" exclaimed one of the other doctors, and Dr. Gong nodded. He looked at Yera again and explained, "Dr. Yang is often called Dr. CEO by many employees because he is our CEO too." "Yeah, he''s so perfect. The most perfect man in our eyes. A perfect catch for us, single predators. He''s someone who has a background in medicine and then enhanced by his uncomparable knowledge in business," Dr. Rio gushed with twinkling eyes. Then she clasped her hands in front of her chest and squealed as she was picturing Xander in her head. Dr. Gong looked apologetically at Yera, before he reprimanded Dr. Rio, "Stop talking like that. Who knows, maybe Dr. Yang is already taken." Yera could not hide her smile, seeing the nervous look on Dr. Gong''s face, so she gestured for him not to worry by shaking her head furtively. "Okay, guys, let''s grab some and eat¡­ This sure looks delicious¡­ Our Dr. CEO is extra generous today. So, let''s all be thankful," commented Dr. Ye, who quickly grabbed a slice. But instead of eating it, he gave it to Yera. He flashed her his cutest smile and said, "Dr.Song¡­ Here, for you¡­" *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Everyone was startled by the sudden sound of someone coughing at the door¡­ "Dr. CEO?" one of the doctors murmured. Xander forced a smile on his face, especially at Dr. Ye, who had his hand hanging in midair because he was in the middle of handing the slice of pizza to Yera. "Why are you offering that to the new doctor instead of your seniors or the chief doctor? Give that slice to Dr. Gong, who has been working hard to lead the surgical team to great success," Xander instructed in a provoking manner, which caught everyone in the room off guard. Dr. Gong could sense jealousy radiating from their Dr. CEO, so he quickly grabbed the pizza from Dr. Ye''s hand and said, "Thanks. Okay, let''s eat, everyone. Dr. Yang, since you''re here, please come and join us." Xander walked toward them and took a slice of pizza, which he immediately offered to Yera, "Here¡­ Eat this one." Yera accepted it while trying to control her face from twisting. But her lips tightened, indicating her disapproval. Xander totally ignored it and even winked at her in front of everyone. Dr. Ye gave Dr. Gong a confused look, which the latter only answered by shrugging his shoulders. Dr. Rio quickly made her move. With sparkling eyes, she asked, "Can I also be graced by getting a slice of pizza from our famous and incredible Dr. CEO?" Dr. Gong almost choked on his pizza, and Yera moved fast to assist him. Xander grabbed another slice of pizza and offered it to Dr. Rio with his usual charming smile, "Here, for our hardworking Dr. Rio." Dr. Rio''s face blushed so hard. But this was a familiar sight for the rest of the doctors. It was a common thing at their hospital that women would swoon over their Physician CEO because of his amiable character. They respected him, and most importantly, they all feel comfortable with him. Their snack time was interrupted by the sudden beeping of Dr. Rio''s phone. "I have to go to the emergency room¡­ I need three more doctors¡­" said Dr. Rio. Dr. Gong assigned three doctors to go with Dr. Rio. "No wonder you have a womanizer reputation, Dr. CEO. You know, they said you swap your girlfriends as often as you changed your socks¡­ You''re a born sweet talker," Dr. Ye jested, but his words obviously carried a hidden meaning. Xander remained cool and gave him a charming smile as he answered, "Yes, I''ve heard that. But that was before someone caught my heart. Don''t worry, I already have someone special, and I will only keep a pair of socks for her. Because I intend to keep my darling¡­" Yera''s heart throbbed faster than a drum roll¡­ ''Is he serious? What the hell is he saying this time?'' Before Dr. Ye could probe any further, Xander immediately bid them his goodbye and left the room. "That means he is taken, right?" Dr. Ye asked the other doctors, who did not even bother to respond to him. "Stop it, and start working now, Dr. Ye," instructed Dr. Gong. Yera was still left dumbfounded by Xander''s words. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 29 - Red Dragon Tattoo Yera contemplated if she should inform Xander about the dinner that her team had arranged for her, as her welcoming party this evening. In the end, she decided to tell him because she felt a strong urge to do it and she couldn''t fight it. Xander was in a meeting for their hospital''s annual fundraising event when his mobile phone beeped. His eyes widened when he saw whom the message was from, and he naturally broke into a smile. [ From: My Darling. Will have dinner with the team as a welcoming party later. Please inform Father-in-law that I won''t make it to dinner. Thanks. ] ''Did she just make me a messenger to relay her message to Dad?'' He complained. But that simple text message from Yera had managed to make his day. The fact that she told him about the dinner party meant that Yera had thought of him somehow. It was a good progress. As soon as the meeting ended and everyone was dismissed, Xander looked at assistant Ron and said, "They will have a welcoming party for Yera tonight. Find out where it is." In all actuality, Xander was worried. It wouldn''t be much of a welcoming party if there was no alcohol involved. And having been introduced to his wife''s other personality when she transformed into the drunken version of herself, he was afraid. Very afraid... "Sir, I actually received a message from Dr. Gong earlier. He has invited you to the dinner party as well¡­ But you were still in the meeting, so I didn''t¡­" Assistant Ron tried to explain, but got nervous when he saw his boss staring at him with a crumpled face. "Ron¡­ My wife always comes first¡­ Do you want your yearly bonus to be cut by half?" Xander asked in a threatening voice. Assistant Ron quickly shook his head and said, "No. Sorry, Sir. I will definitely keep it in mind. The young mistress must always come first. No matter what¡­" "Good. Make sure you don''t forget that. Now, please inform my dad that my wife and I won''t be having dinner with him at home," instructed Xander. "Yes, Sir. One more thing, Sir. Ralf and his team arrived a few minutes ago. Dr. Rui has already made the arrangements, and they are now on basement six." "Alright. Where''s my wife? I''ll go to her." .... Yera was in the middle of performing her first major surgery after her long absence from the operating room. Every surgeon had their own unique routine when they performed a surgical procedure. Hers was to play a piece of soft music as she hummed along with it. That was what she did this time as well. Dr. Gong, several other doctors, and a few medical students were observing her performance, from an adjacent room that was separated by a wide glass window, through which they could look. There was also a widescreen TV in that room where they could watch the live streaming of the surgery. The operation Yera was currently performing was that of an acutely inflamed gallbladder that needed immediate surgical removal. "She''s fast and very precise. I can sense another Hand of Midas in our surgical team..." marveled Dr. Scott, the Chief of Neurosurgery, who also came to watch the surgery upon hearing that the much anticipated new general surgeon would perform it. Dr. Gong smiled and nodded in agreement. As he witnessed Dr. Song''s skilled performance, his suspicion grew stronger. As a seasoned surgeon, young surgeons generally didn''t impress him. But there was one young surgeon that he had always admired. And that was the one they called the ''Witch Doctor.'' The former and deceased CEO of the Life Hospitals group, Dr. Yera Han. He had watched many videos of Dr. Yera Han''s surgeries, and the similarities that Dr. Deyna Song shared with her were just too striking to be ignored. Including the soft music and the humming. He felt a sudden chill run down his spine but quickly brushed it off. These were affairs that should not concern him at all. At that very instant, Xander entered the room. Everyone greeted him by slightly bowing their heads as a sign of respect. Xander sat beside Dr. Gong and asked, "How is she?" "She''s doing great, Dr. Yang. Very impressive, indeed," answered Dr. Gong. "By the way, I''ll come to my wife''s welcoming party later. But I''ll need to borrow her for a bit after this operation. Don''t worry, it won''t be long," whispered Xander. After the surgery, Yera checked her phone and read Xander''s text message, asking her to come to his private elevator as soon as she was done. She immediately excused herself. Her heart was racing hard as she walked toward the private elevator, where Xander was already waiting. As soon as they stepped inside the elevator Xander instructed, "Have Yera''s identity added to the system, so she could use this elevator anytime she wants." "Noted, Sir," replied assistant Ron. Xander looked at Yera and explained, "The only people authorized to use this elevator are Ron, Rui, Ralf, the hospital''s head of security, and me." He then informed Yera about the situation on basement six. "It''s a private ward¡­" said Xander as they walked along the corridor. "You have to confirm if he is one of the culprits from that night," Xander told Yera as they entered the room. Rui and another man were already inside. The other man slightly bowed his head to Xander and her. "This is Ralf, the head of my personal security team," introduced Xander. Yera greeted him back before her eyes landed on the man lying unconscious on the bed, with a lot of tubes attached to him. Obviously, the machine was the only thing supporting his life. Yera drew in a long breath as she saw his familiar face. He was the man who had accompanied her to the restroom. "He''s one of them¡­" She confirmed. Her eyes were still fixed on the motionless man who was as good as dead as she asked, "What happened to him?" "He was shot to the head. And his body had drifted in the river, just like you. But unfortunately, the bullet hit a vital nerve in his head, causing him to be comatose," Rui answered. "We suspect the leader was the perpetrator. He is the only one left missing now. He must have shot the other three to kill them. The two dead culprits had a bullet in their heads as well," explained Ralf. Yera felt a bit anxious. She could not remember the leader''s face, but she remembered seeing a red dragon tattoo on his arm when he abducted her from the yacht. She had heard his voice before she totally lost consciousness, and Yera was sure he was the leader because she had recognized his voice again when he gave the other three his instructions. Xander moved closer to her and put his arm on her shoulders as he whispered, "Don''t worry¡­ We''ll find the last man soon¡­" Rui tried his best not to laugh when he saw Yera subtly squirm her body out of Xander''s hold while she countered, "I''m not worried at all¡­" It looked like his buddy still had a long way to go before he could reach that finish line. Xander noticed the teasing grin on Rui''s face, so he provoked as he flashed him a charming smile, "Dr. Rui¡­ We''ll soon have our fundraising event, so I''m counting on your hard work to make it successful..." Rui gave Xander an astonished look¡­ ''What the hell?'' He complained silently as he wondered what his buddy was planning to make him suffer again. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 30 - The Clown "Dr. Song, I think you have a call¡­" informed Dr. Rio when she saw the light on Yera''s mobile phone blink several times. Yera just came back to the surgical department room from basement six. "The clown is calling you. Poor guy¡­ Did he look like a clown that you saved his number as one?" Dr. Rio asked. Yera smiled and said, "Yeah, you can say that." Then she suddenly wondered how Xander would react if he found out that she saved him as ''The Clown'' on her mobile phone. She deliberately did that, not only because of his jovial personality but also because she needed an ambiguous alias for him so others would not be suspicious whenever he called. With Xander''s character, Yera was sure there would not be a day went by without him calling her. She excused herself to call Xander back. "Yes? I have missed a call from you," said Yera. "Oh yeah¡­ I just wanted to tell you to eat well. Besides, I''m missing your cold voice¡­ Wondering when you will finally answer my call sweetly... I also want to remind you not to drink at all later, lest you want to kill everyone in your team with your cuteness, my darling¡­" Xander said before he quickly ended the call. Yera''s jaw dropped, totally flabbergasted. ''What the hell is wrong with him? Is he trying to kill me with those pickup lines?! Is this his way of bullying me!?" Yera complained to her phone as her face reddened from embarrassment. She believed what Xander was doing to her could be classified as bullying instead of mere teasing¡­ It caused her heart to beat so irregularly, that if this continued, she was afraid she would get a heart attack! When Yera went back to the room, Dr. Rio donned a long face. She found out Xander would be joining the dinner party when she couldn''t because she was on-call that night. "Let''s swap duty!" She tried to convince one of the doctors who only answered her with a big ''NO.'' "What about you? You can take a leave anytime you want this year. I''ll cover for you," Dr. Rio asked a male doctor. She knew it would be pointless to ask any female doctors because they would never give up the rare opportunity to dine together with the charming Dr. CEO. "Call! Make it two years! Dr. Gong and everyone, you all witnessed this! Shaira, take note of this!" Dr. Kim instructed their medical secretary with a wide grin on his face. "Noted, Doc!" said Shaira. Among all the female doctors, Dr. Rio was the most vocal about her admiration for Dr. CEO. So, imagine her pitiful look when she begged every male doctor to swap shifts just so she could join the welcoming party for Dr. Deyna Song. Dr. Gong gave Yera an apologetic look, which Yera answered with an assuring smile, indicating that there was no problem at all. As soon as their work was done, everyone headed to a Korean BBQ restaurant near the hospital, where Dr. Gong had already reserved a private room that was spacious enough to fit everyone in his team. The room was comfortable, and there was a karaoke inside. Yera greeted everyone who arrived earlier. This was the first time she would experience something like this, mingling with her fellow colleagues. She had never done this when she was still managing Life Hospitals Group. As soon as the waitresses served the variety of fresh and well-marinated meat for them to grill, Dr. Ye remarked cheerfully, "Wow, it''s been a long time since we all gathered like this! Thanks, Dr. Song, for joining our team!" Yera responded with a slight nod. Xander entered the room, and everyone stood up to greet him. Dr. Rio had freed a spot next to her for Xander to sit on, but to her dismay, Dr. Gong gave up his seat that was beside Yera and offered it to Xander as he moved to sit in the vacant seat that she had prepared for Xander. Dr. Ye could not help but laugh at Dr. Rio''s crumpled face when she realized she could not sit next to her idol. The dinner went well. But it turned awkward when Dr. Ye made a lettuce meat wrap and offered it to Yera. "Try this¡­ You''ll like it¡­" Xander''s eyes blazed with discontent as he glared at Dr. Ye. Yera gave Dr. Ye a half-smile and rejected his offer. "No, thanks¡­ I prefer to do it myself." "No, really, try it, just this once," insisted Dr. Ye. Dr. Gong scratched his head and quickly grabbed the wrap. "I''ll take that. Let me see how it tastes," he commented as he put the wrap in his mouth. "Hmm¡­ Good! It tastes like Dr. Ye''s hand!" jested Dr. Gong, with his mouth still full of food, which made everyone in the room laugh. Meanwhile, Xander gave Yera a nudge as he signaled her to make him a meat wrap, but Yera only glowered at him. Xander sighed but proceeded to make a wrap himself. He cleared his throat as soon as he finished making it and said, "So, since this is a welcoming party for our new doctor, Dr. Song¡­ Please accept this." Yera stared at him round-eyed as Xander gestured for her to open her mouth and accept the meat wrap he just prepared for her. She looked at the others and saw their jaws dropped from disbelief. "What are you waiting for? Please accept my welcoming gesture, Dr. Song," Xander said with his sweetest smile. Yera''s eyebrows knitted as she murmured, "Would it be okay if I don''t accept it, Dr. Yang? It would be unfair to Dr. Ye¡­" Xander''s mouth twitched. He knew this was childish, but exercising his authority once in a while would not be harmful, would it? He looked at Dr. Ye, and with a smile, he said, "Dr. Ye¡­ You would not mind if Dr. Song accepts this, would you?" Dr. Ye gave Xander an awkward smile as he nodded. "Oh, not at all¡­" If Yera''s eyes could shoot fires, Xander would definitely have a third-degree burn injury by now. She wanted to shout, "I will definitely kill you later!" The other female doctors in the room, especially Dr. Rio, were so envious. They almost melted when they saw Xander''s sweet smile, which was directed at Yera. If they were the recipient of that smile and that meat wrap, they would most definitely not hesitate to accept it. Who cared about Dr. Ye''s wrap? Was Dr. Song blind? Yera opened her mouth and accepted the meat wrap from Xander''s hand, but she also bit Xander''s finger intentionally. "Aww!" Xander yelped. Yera smiled and sarcastically said, "Sorry, Dr. Yang! Thank you for the wrap. Let me return the favor to you later..." "With pleasure, Darl... Dr. Song." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 31 - Marking You The real party started as soon as the group was done with dinner. Alcoholic drinks were served as they turned on the karaoke machine. "Yeahhh! Since this is a welcoming party for our newcomer, let''s ask her to grace us with a song! Everyone, please clap your hands for Dr. Deyna Song!" Dr. Ye initiated, which made Yera blush. Xander was happy to see Yera enjoy the group celebration. She kept blushing and smiling bashfully. He also cheered and encouraged Yera to sing a song for them, which she accepted. "Make sure to sing a happy song¡­ We don''t want to have sad music in here¡­" requested Dr. Rio, laughing. She suggested a song and asked if Yera knew the song, to which the latter responded with a nod. When it came to singing and dancing, Yera was good at both. She loved music very much, but only she and her grandfather knew about it. Yera started to sing, and the beautiful melody echoed through the room¡­ "Wow, she''s good!" Everyone gasped in awe. All the male doctors were all heart-eyed over her, including Xander. He had heard her humming to some music during her surgery, but this was the first time he had heard her sing. And her singing voice was as lovely as that of an angel. "Wow¡­ Dr. Song, you sing really well!" praised Dr. Ye as soon as Yera finished the song. Everyone clapped for her fantastic performance. Yera went back to her seat, and everyone started to drink. "Bottoms up!" Dr. Rio suddenly shouted as she offered a glass of drink to Yera. Xander''s face twisted as an image of a certain crazy drunken woman popped into his mind. He knew if Yera accepted that drink, he would be the one to suffer again in the end! Xander was about to say something when he heard Yera turn the offer down. "Oh, no, please¡­ I can''t drink. You really wouldn''t appreciate me getting drunk. It''s a disaster." Yera rejected the offer because even though she never remembered which absurd things she had done in all her states of intoxication, but it was not something that she wanted her colleagues to find out. She could be a madwoman when she was drunk. This was a fact that she discovered during a get together with Bernard and the wives of the Kens. They were celebrating Dean''s win in the reality show, House of Zeus. They were having dinner at a restaurant, much similar to this one. And there was also a Karaoke machine inside the private room. She had gotten drunk, and apparently, she had hogged the Karaoke machine by keeping the microphone to herself, never letting it go from her hand, as she kept on singing and dancing like a lunatic. She had even hugged the machine, insisting that she slept beside it. She was dumbfounded when she had heard about it from Bernard. She thought he was joking, but Arya had confirmed it. It was not the only time she went crazy because of alcohol, and the worst part was that she could not remember anything once she was sober¡­ "Aw, shucks! But this celebration is for you! You can''t reject this!" insisted Dr. Rio, which was followed by the cheers of her colleagues, "Bottoms up! Bottoms up! Bottoms up!" Yera hesitated, but then she smiled and was about to take the glass from Dr. Rio''s hand when she suddenly couldn''t see the glass anymore. Xander had grabbed it in a flash. He winked at Dr. Rio and said, "How about I drink this for you, Dr. Rio?" Dr. Rio''s eyes sparkled. She nodded vigorously. That instant, Xander chugged everything in the glass in one go. Everyone in the room looked at each other, totally confused about the weird behavior of their Dr. CEO. They remembered the pizza incident, the meat wrap, and now with the alcoholic drink¡­ Something was not right, but they can''t put their finger on it. Dr. Ye poured another glass for Yera and said, "For our new general surgeon! Welcome, Dr. Deyna Song!" The doctors cheered once more for Yera, "Bottoms up! Bottoms up! Bottoms up!" Again, when Yera was about to receive it, Xander grabbed it once more. "Welcome, Dr. Song!!! Bottoms up!" Every glass that was poured for Yera was snatched and chugged down by Xander, which left everyone in the room dumbfounded. "Is he drunk already?" murmured some of the doctors, thinking their Dr. CEO had probably gotten drunk from the first glass and, therefore, was no longer in his right mind. While some of them had concluded that Dr. CEO was playing the white knight for the beautiful Dr. Deyna Song because he was interested in her. This was not weird since their Dr. CEO was a well-known Casanova, after all. After a few more glasses, Xander started hiccuping, so Dr. Gong signaled the others to stop pouring drinks for Yera. The party ended, and everyone was almost drunk except Yera. "But... What about Dr. CEO? He''s still inside..." asked Dr. Rio in a drunken voice as she waited for her pick-up service. "Don''t worry about him and go. His assistant is on his way to pick him up," Dr. Gong answered as he signaled Yera to go back inside since everyone had already left. "Please take care, Dr. Gong," Yera bid farewell when Dr. Gong''s driver arrived. Assistant Ron arrived just a few moments later, and Yera helped him move Xander into the car. Inside the car, Xander was hugging Yera, nestling his face on Yera''s neck. Yera tried to push him away because his action made her uncomfortable. She could feel a jolt of electricity starting to run through her body. But Xander did not let go. He mumbled, "Don''t move¡­ Let''s just stay like this until we get home¡­ Why are you so cold to your own husband...?" Yera knitted her brows and asked, "Are you sober already?" Xander only responded with a light chuckle, and Yera could feel his warm breath on her neck. It made her shudder¡­ Then her eyes widened as she felt a warm and wet sensation on her neck. Xander was licking sucking on her neck¡­ "Xander! What the heck are you doing!?" Yera hissed, but her body was unable to move. She was frozen in her spot. Her stomach churned as Xander continued to employ his skilled tongue on her neck. ''Does he think he''s a vampire?!'' Yera protested inwardly. After a while, she managed to utter some words again. "Stop it! What do you think you''re doing?" "I''m marking you. What else? I''m marking you mine¡­ Darling¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Yera did not say anything when the two of them laid him gently down on the bed. She thanked them before she closed the door. She looked at Xander helplessly as she removed his shoes and socks. She paused when her gaze landed on Xander''s socks as she remembered him say that he would only keep a pair of socks from now on for her. ''Would he really do it?'' She wondered. She felt a bit sticky from all the activities they did during the dinner party, so she decided to take a shower and changed into her sleepwear. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw the few hickeys that Xander had planted on her neck and neckline in the car earlier. "That clown! What a hooligan!" She whispered as she touched them. She entered their room and walked toward the bed. Xander was still breathing heavily, seemingly deep asleep. Yera sighed as she looked at the big couch where Xander usually slept. Perhaps she should sleep there tonight. She shifted her gaze back to Xander and noticed that he still had his necktie on. It must be uncomfortable to sleep like that. She walked closer toward him and bent down to remove his necktie. She also loosened the two top buttons on his dress shirt to make him more comfortable. She was about to leave when she felt her wrist being grabbed by Xander''s hand. He pulled her down onto the bed, causing her to fall on top of him. "Hey!" Yera protested as she tried to get up. But Xander held her firmly and moved her to his side. He hugged her tightly like a bolster pillow, with his one leg crossed over her thighs, and his face buried in her neck. "Xander¡­" Yera called out, but there was no response. She could only feel his heavy breathing. Yera drew out a long sigh. ''It must be his sleeping disorder acting up again...'' She concluded. She heard Xander mumble something incoherently, so she turned her head to face him and asked, "Huh?" But she got startled and held her breath when she realized that her lips were just inches away from his. Her eyes landed on Xander''s lips, and she gulped at the sight of them. She knew he had beautiful lips that fit his charming smile perfectly. But as she looked at them now, from this distance, she could see how flawlessly formed they were. ''And kissable too¡­'' Yera''s eyes widened in surprise at her own perverted thoughts. Suddenly, Xander opened his eyes, and her body froze. His eyes were hazy as they were staring at Yera''s slightly agape lips. And just like that, her lips were swiftly sealed with his. It happened so fast, and the next thing she knew was of Xander being on top of her, kissing her passionately. She felt some kind of a fluttery feeling in her stomach, as though hundreds of butterflies were rampaging through it. ''What is wrong with me!?'' She mused to herself. Undeniably, Xander was giving her a strange sensation that she had just experienced for the very first time. Yet, it was not unpleasant. Still, it left her totally confused. She could taste the alcohol in Xander''s mouth as his tongue slid deeper inside her mouth, probing further. It was an ardent and conquering kiss. She could feel his desire from it, and she could only submissively succumb to it. His hand slipped beneath her thin sleepwear and started to roam over her bare skin. She had nothing underneath it except her panties. His touch sent an electric jolt running down her spine. Her mind was shouting at her, instructing her to push Xander away, but her body was refusing to obey. Surprisingly, she was enjoying the burning sensation she was feeling from whatever it was that Xander was doing to her. It felt as though she was captivated by Xander''s spell¡­ "You''re so soft..." Xander murmured in a husky voice. His lips trailed along her jawline down to her neckline, while his one hand moved farther up to cup her breast. He gently caressed and squeezed it. She gasped and got scared. She was about to say something, but Xander sealed her lips once more, leaving no room for her words to escape. Then, without her knowing, she even let out a soft moan when she felt his fingers fiddling with her hard buds skillfully. Yera felt alarmed to see how readily her body responded to Xander''s touch. ''Yera, wake up!'' Her inner self shouted at her. It snapped her back to reality, and she tried to push Xander away. Xander stopped. He released her from his kiss, leaving her gasping for air. But Xander did not let her out of his embrace. He buried his face in her neck, panting, as though he was trying to calm himself. Then he gently planted a kiss on her neck. He murmured in a croaked voice, "Please stay like this. I''m sorry. I promise I won''t take you unless you offer yourself willingly to me... I like you, Yera, and I respect you¡­ I will patiently wait until you''re ready." Yera was caught off guard by his words. ''Was he dreaming again? Was he saying those things for real, or was it his sleeping disorder talking?'' She wondered while she tried to calm down the irregular beating of her heart. Those words sounded like a confession. But she did not know if she should take them seriously. Xander was still hugging her tightly, and Yera could now hear his heavy breathing again, which meant he had already gone back to sleep. Yera released a sigh as her mind and body were battling each other about whether or not she should release herself from Xander''s embrace. Her body seemed to have won. She was too tired to move, and her eyes felt heavier... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 33 - Bright Eyes Xander woke up without Yera on the bed. A beautiful smile curved his lips despite the headache he was having. Last night he was drunk, but he clearly recalled what happened. Unlike Yera, Xander could still maintain a clear thought when he was inebriated. Although it was true that last night, he was unable to control himself and his urge to grab ahold of Yera as soon as a whiff of her scent entered his nose. He had been longing to kiss those lips. It had become unmanageable lately, that he had to resort to stealing a quick peck on Yera''s lips every night when she was already deep asleep. Just like a thief. But last night, he was able to kiss her fervently and unrestrained... And the best part was, she responded to it. Now that he had had a taste of her sweet lips, he longed to devour them even more. He knew he was making progress. But he also knew he still had to be patient. He looked at the clock. It was still too early for Yera to have left for work, so he grabbed his mobile phone from the bedside table and dialed her number. He heard her phone ringing inside the room. He stood up and saw that it was on the couch. He had not ended the call yet, so he saw the caller ID that was displayed on the screen. His eyebrows furrowed upon seeing the name that was saved under his number. ''The Clown.'' "What!?" He protested. He was ''The Clown,'' yet she was ''My Darling''? How unfair! Xander shoulders sank, and his smile gone. "Do I look like a clown to her?" He whined. Then a corner of his lips curled upward as an idea crossed his mind. "Would she get angry if I change my name on her phone?" He pondered out loud. His hand reached to grab Yera''s mobile phone, but it stopped midway. He hesitated for one good minute. Should he do it, or should he not? He picked up the phone anyway, but... "Ah, crap!" Xander hissed as he pulled out his hair in frustration. He didn''t dare. Right in time, when his hair was in total mess and Yera''s mobile phone in his hand, the door opened. "What are you doing with my phone?" Yera asked with a creased forehead. She was holding a tray of hangover meal that she personally cooked and prepared for Xander. She knew he would wake up with a headache, and she felt guilty because it was her fault that he got drunk. She knew he did that to save her from humiliating herself in front of her colleagues. Xander turned red with embarrassment from being caught in the act. He defended himself. "I woke up and saw you were not here. I thought you had already left for work, but then I looked at the clock, and it was still early. So I tried to call your phone, but then I heard it ringing here. I came over to take it, but then I saw the name you saved me as. Why am I ''The Clown''? Do I look like a clown to you? I was planning to rename it to ''Darling'' because that''s how I saved you on my phone. But I hesitated because I thought you would get angry. I was still contemplating when you came in¡­" Yera almost burst out in laughter but tried hard to control it. She asked indifferently, "Did I ask you to narrate everything that happened since you woke up until I came in?" She chuckled inwardly, seeing how funny Xander''s conflicted look right now. He was trying to think of the right words to say. But she secretly admired Xander''s honesty and spontaneity. She put the tray on the table and said, "Here, eat and drink this. It will freshen you up¡­ Hurry up and get ready. Father will be down soon." Xander moved listlessly toward the table, which made Yera a bit worried. She touched his forehead and said, "Your temperature is normal." "Yeah, it is¡­ I''m not sick, just sad¡­ Why am I a clown?" Xander asked sulkily as he stared directly at Yera. Yera was rendered speechless by how childish Xander was currently behaving. ''Is he twelve or what?'' She thought as she looked at his sullen expression. Yera sighed and said, "What''s wrong with being a clown? It''s because you always smile¡­" Xander changed his expression into a serious one while he still stared at her. Her heart nearly skipped a beat. "Would you rather I look at you like this from now on?" He said in his iciest tone. Yera flinched and burst out laughing¡­ Xander''s face quickly softened upon seeing her lovely smile and hearing her laugh. His whole world stopped at that moment. His eyes could only see Yera''s beautiful face and her bright eyes. "Alright¡­ You can call me anything you want as long as I get to see those eyes brightened like that more often. They''re beautiful. And loveable," Xander murmured. Yera''s cheeks reddened. She abruptly stopped and turned into her usual cold self again. "The soup will get cold. Get ready and go down soon." Then she quickly went out of the room. A devilish smirk formed on Xander''s face. "At least, I made her smile, laugh, and blush, even if just for a second." He cheered, followed by a whistle. Then he realized he still had Yera''s phone in his hand. "I don''t think she''d be mad..." He murmured, as he promptly changed his name on her phone to ''My Darling.'' Then he sent a message for her to read later. [I took the liberty to change my name on your phone. If I find out that you change it back to ''The Clown,'' I will kiss you like last night again.] Then he let out a slight chuckle before he chugged down the hangover soup in one go and got himself ready for work. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 34 - It Looked A Bit Small The days that followed were as bright as sunshine for Xander. He was already a very amiable person, but these days he had been smiling at everyone even more than usual. He would also stalk Yera once in a while. He would show himself to her and act as though it was a coincidence that their paths crossed each other. As per Rui''s advice, this tactic was to make Yera feel more familiar with his presence around her. He was walking through the hospital corridor, holding his phone in his hand to look at Yera''s photographs. They were all mostly stolen shots that he had taken while she was sleeping. He was too preoccupied with gushing over the pictures that he had failed to notice Dr. Yao, who accidentally bumped into him, spilling her cup of coffee on his dress shirt. "Oh! I''m so sorry¡­" exclaimed Dr. Yao as she tried to wipe the spilled coffee on his shirt with her handkerchief. Xander smiled and said, "It''s okay, Dr. Yao. It''s my fault¡­ Geez, this is why it''s bad to check on your phone while walking." Dr. Yao''s pretty face crumpled as she insisted that she was to blame. "No, no, it''s really my fault. I forgot to wear my glasses¡­" Xander winked and said, "Okay, this is not a competition. Then it''s both our fault. Anyway, I''ll be going now. See you around." Dr. Yao smiled at him, but as soon as he was out of her sight, her face darkened. She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. She instructed, "I need a dress shirt in Xander''s size. Buy one from the store where he usually buys his clothes." Xander proceeded to the private room inside his office. It was a room with a bed and a shower, which he used whenever he needed to rest. He typed in the password, went inside and had a quick shower. "Hmm, why wasn''t the coffee hot?" He realized when he checked his body for a burn injury. There were none. He dismissed the thought, guessing he was just lucky. He was still smiling during his shower as the drops of water ran through his leaned body, washing away the stickiness from the spilled coffee. His thoughts were filled with Yera. He chuckled at the thought of his carelessness for checking on her pictures while walking around the hospital corridor. Yera was already making her name in a short time, and it was due to her own capabilities. She performed a successful surgery on a patient that was transferred from another hospital. The doctors there refused to operate on the patient because they were not confident of the success rate. But the patient survived and had been regaining her strength unexpectedly well. As a result, Yera became one of the most sought-after surgeons and had been requested the most for surgeries. Sooner or later, Life Hospitals group would try to poach her. He was a very proud husband. He would often boast about Yera''s achievements at work to his father during their breakfast together. Though Yera was still acting cold toward him, but deep inside, Xander knew they were progressing well. She did not confront him about changing his name on her phone, nor did she change the name back. Furthermore, the expression on her face had become slightly brighter, even though she still talked to him in a straightforward manner. He let out a sigh¡­ He knew his feelings for Yera were only growing deeper¡­ Rui was right. He was indeed hopelessly head over heels for his wife. ... Yera felt a bit tired, and since it was her break, she would like to take a nap. So, she told Dr. Gong that she would rest for a while. But instead of going to the on-call room, Yera walked towards Xander''s office. Xander had persuaded her to use his office when she needed to rest. He specifically said that there were ghosts in the on-call room. Yera was not afraid of ghosts. But she still felt creeped out at the thought of them. Neither Secretary Ness nor Assistant Ron was at their desks when she walked past the reception area of Xander''s office. So, Yera went straight ahead to his room. Xander had told her about the private room inside his office and explained how she could enter it. She pressed her palm on a specific mark on the whole-body mirror that was hanging on the wall in Xander''s office and typed in the password that Xander had shared with her when a small screen appeared, asking for it. Once she was inside the private room, she walked straight to the bed. She lay on the bed, with her body positioned sideways, facing the bathroom. The door suddenly flung open, and her eyebrows furrowed when she saw Xander emerging from the bathroom only with a towel wrapped around his waist. Both of them were startled, and the towel on Xander''s waist fell onto the floor. Yera stared blankly at his manhood. Her mind was hazy due to tiredness, and she commented, "It looked a bit small, but I guess it''s not a bad size..." Then she turned around to face the other side and closed her eyes. "I''ll sleep now. Please wake me up in an hour. Oh, next time, wrap your towel better," she mumbled drowsily before her breathing became heavy. Xander''s mouth was still open. He could not believe what he had just heard. ''It looked small? Not a bad size?'' He mused as he looked down to his shy little buddy in between his thighs. ''Is she blind? How does this look small? Doesn''t she know I have a bigger size than the average men?'' He complained inwardly. ''Do all the male patients that she operated on have bigger size than him?'' Xander sighed¡­ And yet he thought he was making progress¡­ But what''s with the insult she just threw at his poor little buddy down there? "How come she could just say it like it didn''t matter?" He still complained, as he opened the closet and changed into new clothes. Then he stared at Yera, who was already peacefully sleeping. She looked a bit tired, and yet, she still looked like a sleeping beauty. He took out his mobile phone and informed Assistant Ron that he would rest inside his private room for a while. Then he looked back at Yera, and bent down to steal a kiss from her lips. But he abruptly paused when heard her speak, "What do you think you''re doing? Do you want to die right now?" Xander promptly retreated and walked to the other side of the bed. He sat on it and murmured, "Sleep. I''ll wake you up after an hour¡­ Darling." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Lyndon''s voice shaken as he checked the profile of the new surgeon, who was said by his spies to have excellent skills, and, therefore, needed to be poached from the Yang hospital. His hand trembled as he continued to stare at Dr. Deyna Song''s photograph. Tears shimmered in his eyes as he whispered, "Yera¡­" The pain came back¡­ It felt like a knife was slashing through his heart. Dr. Chong looked at their CEO as he was observing his expression thoroughly. He was also surprised to see the profile of the new surgeon whom Yang Hospital had hired. She strikingly resembled their previous CEO, with only a different hairstyle. "Did you double-check everything?" Lyndon asked, to which Dr. Chong responded with a nod. He had already verified every single detail on Dr. Deyna Song''s profile, and everything was found to be legit. Dr. Chong was the head director of the Life Hospitals group because even though Lyndon was the CEO, he still lacked a medical background, unlike Dr. Xander Yang of the Yang Hospitals Group and the deceased Yera Han. "I want to meet her," said Lyndon. Then he dismissed Dr. Chong and called his secretary. Shan entered his office. Lyndon gave her Dr. Deyna Song''s profile and instructed, "Set me a meeting with her as soon as possible." He kept Shan, who was previously Yera''s secretary, as his secretary, and just like him, Shan''s eyes widened in shock at the sight of the photograph on the profile. It was as if she just saw a ghost. Lyndon sighed and quickly dismissed her. He opened the locked drawer on the left side of his desk where he kept Yera and his photo together. He had suffered after the news of her passing. He had loved her before and still loved her now. He could not keep his tears from falling anymore, as he felt great remorse for having failed to protect the woman that he loved. The silence in the room was interrupted by the sound of his mobile phone. Lyndon''s face darkened upon seeing the caller''s name. It was Jam, Yera''s second cousin, who had become his fiancee because of the agreement between their families. Ever since Yera died, Lyndon simply did not care about anything else anymore. He obeyed everything that his father told him to do. Like a robot. Even as a fiancee to Jam, he just did whatever she wanted to do. Lyndon scoffed. How did his life become so meaningless like this? Everything in his world crumbled when Yera died¡­ He rubbed his temples and answered the call. Meanwhile, Shan was searching the internet for Deyna Song, and her eyes widened in shock as she browsed through her details. Just like her previous boss, Yera Han, Dr. Deyna Song, was also a remarkable surgeon. Shan was saddened at the thought of her former boss''s tragic death. Even Old Master Han suffered greatly and passed away after losing his only grandchild. She composed an email for a meeting invitation on behalf of their CEO Lyndon Chu and sent it to Dr. Deyna Song''s email address that was listed on her profile. Then she proceeded to dial her number, but nobody picked up. She must be in the middle of a surgery, so Shan left a text message instead. Shan would also like to see the similarities between Dr. Deyna Song and her previous boss in person. Dr. Yera Han, who, despite her ruthlessness, was also the boss who had helped her the most. At Yang Globals Hospital Yera had just finished a surgery and after informing the patient''s family of the patient''s condition, she took her mobile phone from her pocket and saw a lot of missed calls and unread messages. She scrolled down and read Xander''s message first. She unknowingly smiled when she read his text. [I''m starving. Come to my office and eat with me here. I heard the ghosts in the on-call room are really scary¡­ It'' better to sleep in my comfortable room, right? So, if you want to continue sleeping here, you have to eat your meals with me, unless you have an important appointment¡­] "Such a manipulative person," she mumbled with a smile. Lately, she noticed that she had often been smiling. And, surprisingly, her jaw never ached anymore. It seemed like being with a cheerful person like Xander had really helped her a lot. Didn''t they say a person would unconsciously mimic another person''s behavior when they were often together? So, maybe that was true. Being with Xander was not a bad thing for her at all because she subtly started to mirror his optimistic and carefree attitude. She looked at the time and realized that it was almost lunchtime. So she proceeded toward Xander''s office. She decided to read the other messages in his office instead since she had noticed they were from an unknown number. Secretary Ness and Assistant Ron greeted her. "Dr. Yang is already waiting inside, Ma''am," informed secretary Ness, smiling. Yera nodded and smiled back at her before she entered Xander''s office. Secretary Ness elbowed assistant Ron as soon as Yera was gone inside Xander''s office and commented, "Did you notice our Madam seems to be glowing lately? She has always been beautiful, but the first time I met her, she looked a bit like a soulless person. Unlike these past few days¡­" Assistant Ron''s face lit up as an idea came into his mind. He would surely receive a bonus if he shared this comment with his boss, who was hopelessly in love. Then he looked at secretary Ness and said, "Where do you want to eat for lunch? I''ll go buy you the food because one of us needs to stay here." Secretary Ness gave him a wicked smile and told him all the food she would love to eat. As soon as assistant Ron left, secretary Ness messaged Xander to inform him of her observation about the young mistress. [ Sir, your wife seems to be glowing lately. Like a woman in love¡­ She must be falling deeper for you, Sir. Being a thoughtful and considerate husband is indeed a very loveable trait. ] Then she added three thumbs-up emoticons... Her mobile phone beeped almost immediately. She almost shouted when she read Xander''s reply. [ Your salary for this month will be doubled. ] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 36 - Self-control Yera was inside the operating room with her team. They were performing a colon cancer surgery. Everyone knuckled down. Except for one. "Cut," Yera instructed. She looked at her assistant surgeon, Dr. Wang, and repeated, "Cut!" Still no movement. The nurse gently elbowed Dr. Wang, who was startled and looked at Yera as if he was waiting for her to repeat what she said. Yera frowned, and in a stern and clear voice, she said, "Get out, Dr. Wang!" She looked at an intern who was standing in the corner of the room and instructed, "You, come here!" Then she gestured for the intern to get the operating tools Dr. Wang was holding. "Cut!" Yera authoritatively instructed, and the intern quickly obeyed. "What is your name?" Yera asked the intern, who answered her question while staying focused on the ongoing operation. Dr. Deyna Song''s clear and confident voice helped the intern feel assured about what she was doing. "I only want people who could rise to the occasion in my team when I''m in charge of an operation. I expect no less. You have to be in good condition. If you are not feeling well, nor are you confident that you can perform well, then give up your spot and make sure you swap with a capable one. Lives are always at stake here, so I refuse to work with people who are easily distracted. We can''t afford to make any mistakes because these are lives we can never bring back if we make even just one simple slip," Yera explained as she continued to do wonders with her hands and tools. "Cut!" She said, and the intern followed. During surgery, she would narrate each and every action, so everyone would know what she was doing. "You found a gem, Dr. Gong," commented one of the doctors who happened to drop by and watched Yera from the adjacent room. Dr. Gong nodded. He was also amazed by Dr. Deyna Song''s operating skills. Dr. Wang, who got kicked out, entered the adjacent room to watch the ongoing operation. He apologized to Dr. Gong, who sighed and frowned at him. He would scold Dr. wang later when the other Doctors were no longer present. "She really reminds me of the late Dr. Yera Han. That one was an Iron Lady," commented one of the doctors who had had the chance to meet Dr. Han at a conference a few years ago, when she was still alive. .... "Sir, I heard Madam kicked a doctor out of the operating room," reported Assistant Ron. It was today''s most trending news among the hospital''s employees. Xander was not surprised. He could bet Yera would throw out even more incompetent staff in the following days because that was how she was. She was very strict and meticulous when it came to surgeries, and she couldn''t care less whether the one she ousted was her senior colleague or not. Xander let out a mischievous smile at the thought of Yera being tired after the surgery, and she would fall into a deep sleep later in their room. He was thinking of ideas on how to sneak onto the bed and sleep with her. He waited for her to finish her duty¡­ He would often wait in the car first with Assistant Ron, and as soon as Yera appeared in the basement parking lot, and upon the confirmation from security that there was no one around, the car would stop in front of her. True enough, Yera was exhausted. She dozed off as soon as she stepped inside the car. Assistant Ron shook his head when he saw his boss''s wide smile as he held his wife in his arms. Yera did not even notice that Xander had carried her from the car toward their room. He gently put her on their bed. She was deep asleep. Xander removed her shoes and tucked her in. He showered and changed to his sleepwear before he went back toward the bed. He blew out his cheeks as he contemplated whether he should sleep beside her. He was not worried about her getting angry if she found out. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself once she was near him. "Self-control, Xander..." He murmured, reminding himself before he lay down next to Yera. He laid on his back beside her without moving at all and was just looking at the ceiling. He managed to do that only for a few minutes before he was itching to move and decided to lie on his side, so he could look at Yera. His heart leaped when Yera also unexpectedly moved sideways, facing him, at the same time. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. Xander could not resist the temptation to touch her delicate and angelic face and raised his hand to caress her well-shaped eyebrows, her eyes that were closed with long and curly lashes, and the line of her prominent and pointed nose as if he was memorizing every part of her face. Then he touched her red and kissable lips, and Xander felt something had ignited within him. He longed to taste those lips once more. ''Self-control!'' An internal voice reminded him. But Yera surprisingly moved closer to him. In her sleep, she was propelled toward the warmth emanating from Xander''s body. And, Xander, without a second thought, pulled her closer into his warm embrace. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Goodnight, my darling¡­" Then he drew out a long breath before he closed his eyes. He tried to meditate to regulate the throbbing of his heart. And, most importantly, to control the swelling of his little buddy down below. ''Yeah, good luck with that¡­'' Xander could almost hear his little buddy mocking him. He would have to practice his self-control really well because he really did not want to take her when she had not given him her heart yet. Xander was willing to wait for Yera to come to him on her own will no matter how long it would take. Because he wanted her everything; her mind, her body, and most notably, her heart. His face suddenly twitched as he mused, ''I won''t have you taken away from inside her heart, Bernard. But can I somehow squeeze in?'' Then he wondered if it would really take a long time to squeeze himself into her heart¡­ ''Can you take my side and help me just this once?'' He asked Bernard, hoping somehow that he would hear his plea¡­ After a few more minutes of exercising self-restraint, Xander managed to calm himself and fell asleep. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 37 - Full Access To Your Power Yera was in a profound thought, as she read the email she received from Shan, her former secretary, who was still working at the Life Hospitals group, which was now under Lyndon Chu''s management. A dinner invitation from Lyndon Chu¡­ It was as she and Xander had foreseen. Life Hospitals group had started to make their move to poach her after she had succeeded in making a name as one of the best surgeons at Yang Hospital. It was sooner than she expected, though. Lyndon Chu... She had nothing against the man who had treated her well during their engagement. However, he was still one of the people she suspected to be behind her family''s tragedy, and therefore, she should be careful¡­ She sighed. Xander had been the one who monitored and arranged everything for her case. But this time, she personally wanted to be in charge of getting her own justice, especially for her grandfather. She wanted full access to everything... Yera messaged Xander to ask where he was because she wanted to talk to him about the investigation he was conducting. She wanted to be thoroughly involved and to exercise full authority over the probe, and that meant she would need Xander''s power, which he promised she could have. Her mobile phone rang just seconds after she had pressed the send button. It was Xander. "Why call? You could have just messaged me once you are back in your office," Yera dead-panned. "Hmm¡­ I called because I missed your voice. I''m going back to the office now. You can wait there," Xander announced excitedly before he ended the call. Yera stood up from her seat in the staff lounge with a twisted face. As the days went by, Xander''s shamelessness was getting worse. She could still remember the night when he kissed her passionately vividly. She initially thought it was his sleeping disorder, but to her horror, it was not. He had clearly remembered the kiss when he used it to threaten her if she ever changed his name back to ''The Clown'' on her phone. The man''s shamelessness was really out of this world! She had no energy to argue, so she just let him save his name as ''My Darling'' on her phone. Also, to be honest, it was mostly because she was threatened by that kiss. Yera frowned when she recalled how responsive her body was to even his slightest touch that night. It was as if she did not know her own body anymore. She was preoccupied with all these thoughts on her way to Xander''s office when Dr. Yao approached her. Yera was startled when she heard Dr. Yao''s greeting. "Dr. Song, good morning¡­" Yera smiled at her. Dr. Yao had come to her recently because she needed to consult Yera regarding a surgical procedure for her patient. During their interactions, Dr. Yao had always been friendly. "Morning, Dr. Yao," Yera greeted back before she continued walking towards Xander''s office. Secretary Ness smiled at her at the reception area and offered her a drink. Yera asked for a cup of tea and entered Xander''s Office directly. Xander arrived not long after. He sat on the couch beside Yera as he smiled at her with those sparkling eyes. "What''s up?" Xander asked. Yera sighed and started, "Lyndon''s office just contacted me¡­ I want to handle everything myself¡­" Xander creased his forehead¡­ Yera looked at him straight and said, "I want full access to everything that is yours, especially your security team¡­" "You have full access to them," Xander replied as he accepted the cups of tea that Secretary Ness handed to them. Then Xander instructed Secretary Ness, "No one should disturb us. If anyone asks, I''m in an important meeting." "Noted, Sir¡­" As soon as his secretary left, Xander looked at Yera straight in the eyes and said, "I already told you that what is mine is yours¡­" Yera let out another sigh and said, "Yeah, but you''re still the one in command. I want to be the one in charge of everything. I will direct your people at first hand. I want full authority..." "By all means, Mrs. Yang. But, if you get it, can I request something in return?" said Xander with a grin, which made Yera raise an eyebrow. Then she recalled a clause in their contract that stated that she should do something in return, in exchange for full access to Yang''s power and authority. Xander seemed to be able to read her mind, so he spoke, "If you want full access to my power, you will also let me have full access to you as a real wife. Don''t worry, it''s nothing to do with the consummation of our marriage. So rest assured, I won''t force you. But, of course, I hope for a day when you finally would permit me to." Yera''s face twisted¡­ She remembered that clause. She was confident that she would not be swayed at that time, so she had agreed to it. However, after that incident of him getting drunk and kissing her, she suddenly regretted to have agreed to that clause. Her body was clearly responding to him that she could no longer trust herself when it came to avoiding physical intimacy with him. Meanwhile, Xander was happy that he got another opportunity to get closer to Yera. But he frowned at a sudden thought. "Wait... Why are they poaching you this fast? Are you going to move to Life Hospital already?" he asked, frowning. Yera pursed her lips and shook her head. "Not yet. But I will meet Lyndon. I want to see his expression when he sees me. I know him well, and I would be able to tell if he had something to do with what happened to me and my grandpa," explained Yera. Xander''s face suddenly looked grim. He was not happy about Yera meeting her previous fiance. ''What if their love for each other blossoms once more?'' He pondered as a tinge of uneasiness pierced his heart. He abruptly pulled Yera into his embrace. Yera was startled and murmured, "Hey, what''s with you?" "I''m already exercising my rights as your husband, and being touchy-feely is a part of it. Don''t complain, unless you want me to kiss you..." murmured Xander in a downcasted tone of voice. He was just starting to make progress¡­ He wanted to ask Yera about Lyndon, but he was afraid to do so¡­ "Lyndon Chu always treated me with respect when we were engaged. But I''ve only seen him as a friend, and a partner that was merely matched by our families. We got along well, but I never loved him like I loved Bernard." Yera started to explain, out of nowhere. She did not know why, but for some reason, she felt like she should make things clear to Xander about her relationship with Lyndon. Xander gently released her from his embrace. This time, he was already smiling again. "I will instruct Ron to give you all the contact details of my people. Ron will tell them to report to you directly. You can do whatever you want with them, and I will always support you, Darling¡­" Xander said before he pecked Yera''s nose and winked at her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 38 - Crossed The Line Yera sighed as she changed into a pair of pajamas. This time she did not dare wear a sleep shirt or a nightgown because Xander said he would be sleeping together with her on their bed starting tonight. She did not want him to think that she was deliberately wearing less clothes to expose some of her skin. Because knowing Xander, he would surely blame it on her bare skin if he was compelled to do indecent things. She paused¡­ ''Knowing Xander?'' She mused helplessly. She felt like she got to know Xander more with each passing day. She was getting even more used to his presence. Xander was inside the bathroom, showering. Yera sighed as she lay on her side on the bed. She closed her eyes, thinking it would be better if she were already asleep by the time Xander got out of the bathroom. Not long after, Yera felt their bed sink. Xander was now on the bed. "Are you asleep?" She heard Xander asking, but chose not to respond for fear of all the inappropriate things that might happen if they were both awake on the bed. Yera could feel Xander''s movement, and she froze when she felt his hands on her waist, hugging her, pressing his body against her back. She bit her lower lip, trying her best to ignore him and to sleep ''Why can''t I sleep?'' She complained inwardly. Her body was obviously tired, but her heart was beating erratically. She got goosebumps when she felt Xander''s warm breath on her nape. He whispered, "Relax and sleep. I will behave, so trust me¡­ Let''s go jogging and watch the sunrise tomorrow morning. I''ll wake you up early. So sleep now." Yera did not respond even when Xander planted a kiss on her neck and buried his face in her hair. He then murmured sluggishly, "Goodnight, Darling." Yera somehow felt relaxed, and her body finally gave in to slumber. .... Next morning, Yera woke up with Xander''s smiling face right in front of her. "Hmmm, as expected, you woke up early. Let''s get up and go for jogging. It''s good for our health. And the sunrise would be beautiful¡­" Xander said with a wink before he pinched her nose and got up from bed. Yera sighed as soon as Xander left to their dressing room to change. She noticed she was often sighing¡­ She would only sigh instead of wasting her energy to nag and confront Xander about his brazen behavior. She had gotten used to letting him have his way with her as long as he would not do something that crossed the line. She did a little stretching before she stood up to get her jogging outfit. She almost forgot that this was her usual routine before as Yera Han. She loved to go for jogging early in the morning whenever she could, or on a day-off, like today. They jogged around the perimeter of Yang''s ancestral mansion, and Yera finally got to see how big their land was. They were both panting as Yera dropped her body onto the fresh grass and looked at the sky. The sun was about to rise soon. Xander did the same beside her. "Bernard and I would often see the sunrise together when we were kids¡­ He often stayed in our mansion because he was not allowed to go out because of his sickness. We grew up like brothers. Although he went abroad and stayed there for so long, I would visit him every month. Funny... Both of us have disorders, but mine was nothing compared to his..." Xander narrated. Yera remained quiet as she listened to him. She thought the disorder Xander was telling her about was his sleeping disorder. Yera then spoke, "I noticed Bernard was weak as soon as I met him for the first time on Ryu Ken''s island. That day, he had even passed out there." It was pleasant to reminisce about Bernard together. Xander even shared all the funny moments he and Bernard had had with her, to which Yera responded with a hearty laughter. The sun finally rose, and Yera gasped as she whispered, "It''s beautiful." "Yeah, very beautiful, indeed," Xander murmured a response. But unlike Yera, he was not looking at the sun, but he at her beautiful face as it was basking under the sun rays. "What do you want to do today?" Xander quickly asked when Yera turned to face him. "If you have no plans, then come with me¡­" added Xander, smiling. Yera was mesmerized by Xander''s charming smile, so she could not help but remark, "Hmmm, I wonder how you manage to always smile like that. ''The Clown'' actually really suits you, you know...? Anyway, where are we going?" Xander laughed and firmly said, "I prefer that you call me ''Darling''¡­ We are going on a date. Dad asked, how come we rarely go out together. He even scolded me last night for not taking you out on a date. So don''t be surprised if you hear about it at breakfast. He will definitely remind me of that again in front of you." Yera nodded in understanding, but she suddenly suggested, "We can go out together then go on separate ways afterward¡­" ''Geez¡­ so cold¡­'' Xander mused. But he quickly objected, "No! I already made some reservations, so we better use it. Why? Do you have some other place you want to go to?" Yera shrugged her shoulders and answered, "Yeah, I wanted to visit the Kens¡­" "Alright, we can visit them together." Xander suggested. Yera''s eyes widened as she reminded him, "But they don''t know I''m married, and besides¡­" Xander''s face suddenly look saddened. He then murmured, "But I also want to meet your friends. Are you perhaps ashamed of me being your husband? I heard they are Bernard''s close friends, so if possible, I want to get to know them too." Yera suddenly felt guilty seeing the downcasted look on Xander''s face. "Alright. They are all my trusted friends, so introducing you to them is not a bad idea at all. Perhaps if they know I''m married, they will stop worrying about me," Yera said. Arya Ken would check on her every now and then, and lately, she kept calling her to ask if she was alright that she wanted to meet her again. But Yera had been busy making a name as one of the best surgeons at Yang Hospital, so she had always declined. Because she was drowned in her own thoughts, Yera failed to notice the change in Xander''s expression. He no longer had the downcasted look on his face. It had instead changed into an amused grin as soon as she agreed with him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 39 - Guilty As Charged Yera and Xander went out to the cinema because Xander insisted that he wanted to watch a particular movie. "You want to watch that?" Yera asked in a high-pitched voice upon seeing the trailer of the movie on the preview screen in the cinema hallway. Xander nodded with a grin while holding popcorn and drinks in his hands. He was smiling broadly because Assistant Ron had advised him to choose a horror movie, so every time things got scary, Yera would cling onto him. Just the thought of Yera hiding her face on his chest almost made Xander''s heart leap. He was really looking forward to it that he quickly gave the popcorn to Yera, so he had a free hand to hold hers and pulled her inside the cinema hall. The movie they were going to watch was the top-grossing horror film, and all the reviews raved on how terrifying it was. They were sitting in a VIP seat for couples. "I heard this one is really terrifying, so whenever you get scared, just remember that I''m right here beside you, okay? You can use me to hide¡­" Xander assured her, but Yera only twitched her mouth as an answer. The movie started¡­ "Ahhhhh!!!" The people inside screamed. Yera was startled by a pair of hands holding onto her arm. It was Xander''s hands... He hid his face on her arm as his body winced from the terrifying scene on the screen. Yera did not even flinch and kept watching the movie keenly. She was not fond of the horror genre, but this one was actually quite good. It had an exciting and solid plotline. Xander had never watched any horror movies before. The thought of ghosts did not really scare him, but the terrifying and intense scenes on the screen were really creeping him out. His heart could burst right out of his chest at any moment from fear. He looked at Yera. ''What is she?! She''s this cold even when watching a scary movie!'' He mused in disbelief. He could not comprehend how Yera could still be so focused on the screen when he already wanted to run out of there. He shifted his gaze to the screen once more and immediately got a fright at the sight of a ghost that suddenly popped on the screen in a close-up shot. Together with the other audience, he screamed, "Ahhhhh!!!" He hugged Yera unconsciously and buried his face on her neck. "What''s with you!?" Yera hissed. Then she added, "You chose this movie, and you''re too scared to watch it? Are you a sissy?!" She was really irritated because Xander was disturbing her. She was so into the movie, but he kept diverting her attention every time he clung onto her. His warm breath on her neck distracted her. Yera moved irritably and turned to face Xander, whose face was still buried on her neck. "Sissy¡­ Should we just leave? Hey, Sissy!" Yera gibed at his cowardice, which made Xander raise his face to stare at her. He murmured, "Stop that! I''m not a sissy!" Yera rolled her eyes and contended, "Yes, you are! Look at you, you sissy!" "I said, stop it. If I hear the word ''Sissy'' from you one more time¡­" Yera rounded her eyes and dared him. "What? What would you do?" Then she firmly enunciated, "You''re such a sissy¡­ S-i-s-s-..." Before Yera could finish spelling the word, Xander abruptly pulled her in for a breathtaking kiss. "Ahhhh!" "Noooo! At your back!" Those screams from the audience sounded like loud buzzing of bees to her ears. Still, it could not beat the deafening sound of her own heart thumping. Xander held her firmly as he slipped his tongue inside her mouth, probing deeper, urging her to answer his passion. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the darkness inside the theatre. ''No!'' Her mind protested as she felt her body melting away from Xander''s fiery kiss. He devoured her by suckling and nibbling on her lips and tongue, not leaving a spot in her mouth unexplored. Yera could only close her eyes as her lips and tongue started to move to answer his passion with the same level of intensity. "Ahhhhhhhh!!!" One loud scream from an audience near them broke their kiss, leaving them both gasping for air. Xander did not release her yet. He was still busy planting mild kisses on her lips as he murmured, "If I hear one more ''Sissy'' coming out from your luscious lips, I''ll make sure to devour them once more. And rest assured, this time, I won''t let go until the movie is finished¡­" Yera swallowed hard and closed her lips tightly as she turned her head back toward the screen. ''What just happened?'' She pondered in astonishment as she scolded herself for letting her guard down. Then she murmured, "Shameless!" She heard Xander laugh, and to her surprise, he hugged her with one arm and buried his face on her neck. He told her in a warm voice, "I''ll rest here for a while. Let me relax for a bit... Kissing you almost burned my body. Let me know when the movie is finished¡­" Yera could not believe what she just heard. Was it her fault that he got turned on by the kiss? He was the one who kissed her! If she had not known any better, she would have thought he was only saying that because he was too afraid to watch the scary movie¡­ ''Sissy!!!'' Yera really wanted to shout it out loud, but she tried her best to keep her mouth shut for fear of Xander mistaking it for her intentionally baiting him for another kiss. "Really shameless¡­" Yera could not help but grumbled once more. "Guilty as charged, Darling..." Xander replied with a big grin. All Yera could do was release a long sigh of frustration. She suddenly had a second thought about introducing Xander to the Kens because of his shamelessness, It really had no boundaries at all. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

All eyes were on him and their mouths agape as if they had seen a ghost. They were visiting the Kens at their mansion and were now in the living room where Yera had introduced him to Arya Ken and Dean Ken. "Arya pinch me, please¡­ I think Bernard was furious at me for teasing him often and now is trying to get back at me," murmured Dean Ken. Arya Ken, who managed to compose herself, smiled back at Xander and said, "It''s nice to meet you, Xander. I apologize, though Deyna already warned us on the phone that you look exactly like Bernard, we did not expect that the similarities to be... Uhm a bit... Hmm¡­" "They are like twins!" Dean Ken interrupted as he walked closer toward Xander and circled him around to inspect him. Then he paused to take a closer look at Xander''s face. "Yeah, almost the same. Though I have to say, you''re like the macho version of Bernard¡­ Because Bernard was... Uhm, can I say a bit feminine? I mean his facial features¡­ Though, if seen closely, I can still differentiate you two, but at first glance, you could be his twin..." Dean stated straightforwardly that made Yera laugh, as usual. Yes, Dean Ken, Ryu Ken''s cousin, had never failed to make her laugh with his witty comments. Bernard and Dean would always banter a lot. Dean would often tease Bernard, calling him a flower boy. "Bro, he''s more shameless than Bernard," Yera remarked, still laughing. Dean hugged Yera tightly and said, "Why do you look a bit thin? It''s like I''m hugging a stick now? You should not have left us like that..." Murmured Dean. Xander''s face twisted at the scene of Dean hugging Yera. On the one hand, he did not like other men being too friendly with his wife, but, on the other hand, Yera''s smiling face and laughter were really a sight to behold. ''So she can be like this with them?'' He mused. His heart was at ease, knowing that Yera had friends whom she could trust and be herself with. He thought that Yera had not had anyone at all except Bernard. Yes, he knew the Ken family had sheltered her before, but he did not expect that they treated her like a real family and saw her as one of their own. "Dean, let her go, or the man she''s here with would kill you with his fierce glare," commented a man who just arrived. "Bro Ryu!" Yera smiled broadly and hugged the man called Ryu. "How are you feeling?" Asked Yera, full of concern, as she looked at him intently. "I''m back to normal and feeling much better¡­ Thanks to our miracle doctor¡­" said Ryu as he pinched Yera''s nose. Xander was left astonished at how carefree, and warm Yera was to everyone. The same with how the Kens were treating her. Yera introduced Xander to Ryu Ken, Arya''s husband. Then all of them proceeded to have a chat over tea, while Yera narrated how she and Xander met and how it had resulted in a marriage between them. Xander only listened in awe because, obviously, Yera had her own version of the story. On their way to the Kens, Yera had given him a heads-up about her wanting to keep her real identity as Yera Han a secret from the Kens. She did not wish to trouble the Kens because the family had experienced enough trials already. So Yera had instructed him to just nod and smile and play along with whatever story she would tell the Kens, and that was precisely what Xander did. Yera then apologized to the Kens for not informing them about the marriage. "It''s fine, Deyna¡­ But I insist that we still celebrate it, otherwise you know Grandpa would scold us... I will arrange something. Don''t worry, it will only be a family celebration. Just us, and Xander''s family," Arya insisted, so Yera just nodded in agreement. "Hmm, I guess Bernard is looking after you, Deyna. He probably sent his cousin to you¡­ to watch over and take care of you¡­ I don''t believe in coincidences. Fate brought you two together. Just as my dad says, things happen for a reason," Arya stated her opinion. "Hmm, I have to leave to pick up my wife. Deyna, it really makes me happy to see you doing well. I''m sure Bernard is happy too, wherever he is..." Said Dean, who suddenly stood up. Then he looked at Xander and warned him. "Bro, make sure you take care of her. Because if you don''t, rest assured that the Kens will hunt you down¡­" Xander laughed at the remark and said, while smiling, "Don''t worry, Deyna is in the best hands with me." Then he grabbed Yera''s hand and kissed it lovingly that made Yera blush. Arya was grinning as she looked at Yera teasingly. Ryu shook his head and said to Dean, "Why are you scaring our guest? Go now, and get your wife." Dean scratched his head and left as soon as he bid Yera and Xander farewell. After a few minutes of chitchat with Arya and Ryu, it was time for Yera and Xander to leave. "We have to go now¡­ I''ll visit again soon to see Old Master Ken and the rest." Arya nodded and said, "Alright. Please do because they miss you too. Bring your husband again with you so he can meet the others and... scare them¡­" Yera laughed while Xander massaged his nape and smiled timidly. He kept quiet as requested by Yera. He was really trying to behave as much as he could. As soon as they were inside their car, Yera let out a long sigh of relief. Her heart had never stopped racing for fear of Xander doing brazen things in front of Arya and Ryu. Her face dimmed as she said, "I told you to behave." Xander creased his forehead and retorted, "I did! When did I not? I just held your hand and kissed it. That was nothing, you know¡­? Besides, it would help to reassure them that you have a loving husband. I even had to control myself hard not to hug or kiss you in front of them." Yera''s face flushed. She would never bring Xander along with her to the Kens again, lest she wanted to die of embarrassment because of his shamelessness. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Please give me some peace here and leave," Rui exclaimed, seeing how restless Xander was that he had been pestering him with his unnecessary questions. Xander scoffed, "What do you think of me? Someone insecure? Someone clingy? Excuse me, I''m Xander Yang!" Rui helplessly puffed out his cheeks. Xander told him that Yera had gone out to meet her previous fiance, Lyndon Chu, at a private restaurant. And knowing how Xander''s mind worked, his good friend here obviously wanted to go there too. "Alright, let''s go and burn out the place!" Rui finally gave in because he knew Xander was only waiting for his signal and would keep pestering him as long as he didn''t get it. Xander could not go alone because Yera had never disclosed the place where she would meet Lyndon Chu. Xander had, of course, had it investigated, but he needed someone to provide an alibi for him, and Rui was the best candidate for it. They arrived at the meeting place. It was a serene restaurant with private rooms separated only with sliding wooden doors. They arrived earlier and occupied the private room next to where Yera and Lyndon were supposed to meet. ...¡­.. Yera arrived at the restaurant on time, and she was sure that Lyndon was already waiting because he had often come earlier than the agreed time to each of their meetings. The waiter greeted her, and she mentioned Lyndon''s name. The waiter then led her into the room, where Lyndon was, indeed, already waiting. As soon as she entered the room, she gave Lyndon a broad smile. Thanks to Xander, she had learned to smile more often and had gotten used to it. So now she knew how to give a full and genuine smile, unlike before, when she would look awkward and stiff when smiling. "Mr. Lyndon Chu?" Yera asked as she approached him and introduced herself. "Good afternoon, I''m Deyna Song." Lyndon was just standing there, like a pillar, not moving at all, as the woman before him extended her hand to him, beaming. She looked exactly like Yera Han. But somehow different... Yera would have never smiled like that... "Mr. Chu?" He heard the woman repeat her question. Lyndon collected himself and quickly accepted her hand and smiled, "I''m sorry, it''s because you look a lot like¡­" "Dr. Yera Han?" Interrupted Yera, with a smile still curving her lips. Lyndon nodded, and Yera added, "I understand because I got that a lot. Every time someone who had seen her before, saw me, it''s like they''ve seen a ghost." Yera sat on her chair, and Lyndon did the same. The food came, and Yera commented, "The food looks good. I''m actually starving. Is it okay if we eat first before we talk seriously? I mean, about business, of course, because I''m sure it''s the reason why you set this meeting up?" ''She''s not Yera,'' Lyndon tried to convince himself. He was trying hard to control himself, not to pull her to his embrace. He missed Yera so much, and the woman before him was the exact replica of Yera. But her behavior was the exact opposite. He stared at Dr. Deyna Song, who started to eat in front of him heartily. Yera was prim and proper and never smiled. In this kind of situation, Yera would have directly dug into business and would have not even cared about the food at all. Meanwhile, Yera knew Lyndon was observing her. She was so grateful that she was able to copy Xander''s cheerful attitude. She smiled sweetly at Lyndon and said, "Please eat too, Mr. Chu. I would feel awkward if you continued to stare at me. Did you know Dr. Yera Han? I don''t know anything about her, except for the fact that she was a famous surgeon. A colleague had showed me her photographs, and she indeed looked a lot like me. So I''m curious to know what happened to her, but I''ve been swamped with work lately, so I don''t have time to ask around." Lyndon nodded and whispered, "Yes, she was my fiancee¡­" Yera stopped eating and looked at Lyndon closely and said, "I''m sorry." He smiled and told her that years passed by fast, but Yera and their good memories would always remain in his heart. Lyndon began to eat but would still sneak glances at her from time to time. Yera commented plainly, "This is my first time eating at this place. It''s quite good, I should bring that clown here sometimes..." Lyndon creased his forehead and asked, "Clown?" Yera laughed and nodded as she explained, "Yes, someone I''m close with at Yang Hospital. He always smiles, so I call him the ''Clown.'' Oh, sorry, please continue eating¡­" Lyndon smiled and replied, "It''s okay, really. Do talk, it''s better than an awkward silence." This woman was definitely not Yera, who had always hated to talk during meals. Yera preferred to have a conversation after finishing their meal. The woman in front of her looked so jovial and carefree, unlike Yera, the woman he loved¡­ ...¡­. In the adjacent room, Rui was enjoying his food as he commented, "Do you really think you would be able to hear a thing even if you glued your ears to that wall?" He did not know whether he had to laugh or cry from how pathetic his friend looked right now. Xander''s head was leaning onto the partition wall, trying his best to eavesdrop the conversation next door. "The food here is excellent. This is my first time eating here. Thanks to you, I found another good eating place. Oh goodness, eat first, you clingy husband!" Rui scolded as he put some food on Xander''s plate. "Here, try this one¡­" said Rui, and Xander sighed as he gave up since he could not hear a thing. "I noticed Yera is not stiff anymore, unlike before when I first met her. That''s a good sign. You''ll soon reach your goal if you heed my advice,'' said Rui nonchalantly. Xander''s face crumpled and sarcastically replied, "You have no love life. Do you really think your advice counts?" Rui laughed and said, "I''m a psychiatrist. I have the power of knowledge to read people''s behavior. So I don''t need to have a love life to see that you are a clingy husband¡­" "I''m not clingy, okay? I''m just worried¡­ What if Lyndon is the real culprit? I want to protect Yera. I vowed that no harm would befall her again under my protection," Xander defended. Rui nodded as he picked a steamed deboned fish while he commented, "Yeah, yeah, right¡­ Totally not clingy but definitely overprotective. Although... I think clingy is still the best term to describe your behavior right now. Clingy and insecure since you''re afraid that Yera still likes Lyndon." Xander could not respond because Rui had hit the nail on the head. He was indeed afraid that she would still like him because Yera and Lyndon had shared almost a year in a relationship together¡­ Seeing the look on Xander''s face, Rui added, "Don''t worry, the fact that he had spent more time with Yera before doesn''t count. What counts the most is today¡­ You have all the advantage since she''s already your wife. Now that she still has some time to be at your hospital, you have to make that count too¡­ Spend as much time with her as you could now." Xander sighed¡­ He still had a month, at most, because Yera would soon accept Lyndon''s offer to work at the Life Hospitals group. Well, of course, the rest of her days would be spent at the Yang mansion, so he still had more advantage indeed¡­ Rui shook his head as he looked at Xander with sympathy.

Murmured Rui when Xander ended the call on his mobile phone. Xander just talked to his security team and reminded them to keep Yera safe once she left the restaurant. He even heard him warn them not to let her out of their sight, even for just a second. "It''s not 24/7, Rui¡­ Don''t exaggerate, okay? It''s only when she''s not with me. I told you, I don''t want any security loopholes, especially when it comes to my woman. I want her to be well-protected. I''m not like Lyndon, who had failed to keep her from harm. Moreover, we don''t know anything yet, for all we know, he could be the culprit behind Yera''s abduction that year¡­" Xander scoffed as he drank his wine. "You know that you''re quite the manipulative husband but in a very secretive way¡­" observed Rui as he continued to eat his salad. Xander laughed and said, "I''ll take that as a compliment¡­" Their pleasant chat was interrupted by the beeping of Xander''s mobile phone. As soon as he read the message he had just received, he stood up to leave. "Why are you in a hurry to leave? I haven''t even finished my dessert¡­" complained Rui as he followed Xander on his way out of the restaurant. "Hmm, I miss my wife already," commented Xander nonchalantly. Rui clicked his tongue and was about to retort when Xander halted his steps, and so did he. "What are you doing here?" Yera asked with a raised eyebrow. She forgot her purse in the room, so she went back to get it, but she unexpectedly bumped into Xander, who seemed to just be leaving the restaurant with Rui. "Were you following me?" She asked him directly that made Xander flinch, but then he quickly smiled and tugged Rui closer. "This place is one of Rui''s favorite places to eat. He suddenly asked me to accompany him to have lunch here." Rui was almost choked by Xander''s sudden yanking. Xander was giving him a subtle hint to say something, so Rui said, "Oh yeah, I suddenly crave for lobsters, so I asked Xander to have lunch here." Yera frowned and murmured, "I don''t think they serve seafood here..." Xander interrupted and quickly changed the topic before his dear friend sabotaged everything. "So, this is where you met him? What a coincidence. How did it go? Oh, you can just tell me all about it in the car. Just go back with me. Rui brought his own car anyway¡­" Rui''s face crumpled and muttered scornfully, "I did?" Xander patted his shoulder and smiled as he said, "See you back at the hospital." Rui wanted to yank Xander''s hair as the latter walked away with Yera, leaving him high and dry. ''What a liar¡­'' He complained. He took out his mobile phone and called his driver to pick him up. Then he smirked at the thought of charging every penny for the extra service he had just rendered to Xander. .... Inside the car, there was only silence as Xander waited for Yera to open up to him about her meeting with Lyndon. However, he was itching to know, so it was tough for him to wait for her to talk first. So he murmured, "How was it?" Yera did not respond, but after a few minutes, he heard her release a long sigh. "As expected, he gave me a good offer and said he will patiently wait for my decision. I told him I have to think about it carefully and consider a lot of things," she narrated everything, down to every single detail, including the amount of money in the offer. "Not bad," Xander commented. But it was not Lyndon''s offer that he was interested in knowing. Xander sighed because he did not want to interfere too much with Yera''s personal matters, but he could not help but be curious. He was thinking of a good way to ask Yera about the real thing he wanted to know. He was just about to open his mouth to ask, but Yera suddenly spoke, "I don''t think it''s Lyndon¡­ His eyes were sincere. Those were the eyes of someone who is longing for a loved one. His eyes¡­" Xander was holding his breath as he listened to Yera. He could not help but comment, "Looks can be deceiving, and so could the eyes¡­ That''s why we''re moved by movies of which actors can act well. That''s how the winners of the best actor and best actress awards won, because they could make the audience believe their acting just by looking at their eyes. But we all know that it''s not real." If Rui could hear him, he would definitely tease him, but then again, who cares? He still had a point, and he knew that. Yera knew what Xander said made sense. She definitely must not let her guard down with Lyndon. "Hmm, how did he look? He got old, didn''t he?" Xander blurted out of nowhere that made Yera flinch. ''What''s with that question?'' She mused but decided to entertain him by giving him an answer. "He''s still the same. Tall, dark, and handsome¡­ He''s the type who would still look good even when he ages because he takes good care of himself." It was true. Lyndon was fit and healthy, because he loved to work out and he maintained himself well. "Who do you think is more handsome? Him or me?" Xander bluntly asked, which almost made Yera choke on her own saliva. She turned her head and deliberately looked at Xander in disbelief. Xander gazed back at her and gave her his sweetest smile, followed by a wink before he turned his attention back to the road. "Aren''t you going to answer? Because if you don''t, I''ll just stop the car at the side of the road and wait for your answer¡­" Xander said, grinning. He knew he was acting rather childish again, but he just could not help it. Yera, as usual, did not have the energy to argue with him about why he would ask something like that, so she honestly answered, "You are¡­" "But not everyone has the same opinion. Maybe for me, you look better than Lyndon, but then to others, Lyndon looks better¡­ It''s all relative to the eye of the beholder," Yera added. "Other people''s opinion doesn''t interest me. What you say and what you think is the only thing that matters to me¡­" Xander uttered in a stern voice. Yera''s heart thumped abnormally once more¡­ ''What''s with him?'' She complained silently. She chose not to comment back. No, she did not know how to respond. She was, again, rendered speechless by Xander''s straightforwardness. She simply could not find the words... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Your marriage was already done in a rush, so your honeymoon should at least be done properly," suggested Senior Yang as they were having dinner. Yera coughed, and her face nearly turned as red as a cherry. She had forgotten that Senior Yang did not know anything about the marriage contract she signed with Xander. She took a sip of water and was about to make an excuse to turn down the suggestion when Xander opened his mouth to speak. "That''s a good idea, Dad. We should do that, indeed. I''ll have Ron arrange it immediately. Spending a week solely with my wife is what I would want to do," Xander seconded his father''s suggestion with a wide grin on his face. He totally ignored the sharp look that Yera threw at him, as though she was throwing daggers at him. "But, Father, my schedule at the hospital is a bit hectic now," murmured Yera. That was simply the truth. She had so many things to do and could not afford to be on vacation for a week. "Nah¡­ That''s exactly why you need to relax more and enjoy your married life. Don''t let work become a hindrance. Don''t worry dear, I''ll make sure the hospital would run well in your absence. Just work hard on my future grandchild instead of hospital work¡­ I''m old already, and that''s the one wish that I would love to have fulfilled before I go to meet my maker..." Sermoned Senior Yang. Xander could definitely hug his dad that very moment for the brilliant idea he just dropped. Of course, he wanted to go on a honeymoon with his wife. But he also knew Yera would reject it if he were the one to propose it. His dad had surely never let him down when it came to things like this. Senior Yang looked at Yera and added, "Don''t say no to this old man because I have already prepared everything and made all the reservations for the two of you. Consider it as a gift from your father-in-law¡­" Senior Yang gave Yera a pensive look as he said, "Hmm, to be honest, I was actually disappointed with my son for getting married in secret. But I know that it had to be done that way because he was just taking your situation into consideration. So, I will be pleased if you would take the time to relax and enjoy each other''s company for at least one week. And I hope the two of you would do everything in your power to help me fulfill my greatest wish. I want to be called Grandpa soon." Yera''s cheeks and ears turned crimson red at Senior Yang''s words, while Xander was just smiling from ear to ear. As soon as they were inside their room, Yera confronted Xander and said, "I can''t go on a vacation. I just started working at your hospital. It would not look good if I take a leave that long¡­" "Hmm, don''t worry¡­ I''ll take care of it. It''s so easy. I''ll just tell them you are going to attend a conference abroad with me, on Dr. Gong''s recommendation. You see, where there''s a will, there''s always a way, Darling¡­" Xander said as he chuckled excitedly. Then he puckered his lips and pled, "Just this once, please? My dad would be disappointed if we turned down his efforts. Really... He may seem like a jolly person like me, but he''s actually a sensitive person when it comes to things like this." Yera''s expressionless face was so unreadable that Xander was chanting inwardly, "Please let her agree¡­ Please let her agree¡­ Or make her nod¡­" Yera sighed as she stared at Xander''s imploring eyes. If what Xander said was true, then she would not want to let Senior Yang down. He had been a very kind and doting father-in-law to her. Another sigh escaped her mouth as she said, "Alright, then take care of everything. I don''t want an image of a truant doctor sticking to my name. So make sure to convince them that my leave is for work and not for a vacation." Yera was startled when Xander pulled her in for a hug, as he happily cheered, "Thank you, Darling! Yes, I will take care of everything. Dad will surely be happy¡­" "Let go of me, or I will change my mind," Yera murmured as she got a bit panicky. She was feeling tensed from Xander''s tight hug. She was afraid it might lead to something more. Because Xander was a very dangerous person to her. He would just do whatever he would like to do. It did not matter what it was as long as it was according to his liking. That was what she observed... Xander immediately released her and held her shoulders before he said, "Hmm¡­ You go rest first. I''ll check what he prepared for our vacation." "You look too excited," Yera could not help but comment. "Of course, I am¡­ "said Xander grinning, as he kissed Yera''s nose and dashed toward the door before Yera could throw him her signature icy blast stare. He went to his dad''s room, whistling. He should reward his dad generously for this. A week of vacation with Yera was an opportunity for him to get closer to her¡­ to capture her heart... Meanwhile, Yera stood still in the spot where Xander left her, while she stared at the door through which Xander had just exited. Then she bit her lower lip. For some reason, Yera had no energy to get irritated whenever Xander would do things like this. Perhaps, she had already gotten used to it. Xander had always been acting sweet to her and would often steal small kisses whenever he could. Yera heaved a long sigh of confusion¡­ She had mixed emotions... Feelings that she would not bother to name¡­ Or rather, emotions that she was too afraid to identify... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Dr. Rio huffed. "Because she''s the most sought-after surgeon lately?" speculated Dr. Kim because that was the most plausible explanation. It was true that Dr. Deyna Song was the best surgeon that Yang Hospital had ever had. "All of you have already had your turn to represent our hospital in a lot of conferences, so I thought this time, we should give the opportunity to Dr. Song to attend. It is my decision¡­ Are you disputing it?" questioned Dr. Gong firmly, which made the rest of the team shut their mouth, especially Dr. Rio. Dr. Song must have been born under a lucky star that she got to accompany their Dr. CEO, whereas she was so down on her luck to miss out on a great opportunity to be with her ultimate crush. "Well, if I were Dr. CEO, I would choose Dr. Song over all the other female doctors here," Dr. Ye declared, which made Dr. Rio crumple her face instantly. "Let''s see if you would still say that once she throws you out of the operating room. I heard Dr. Wang was not the last one who got kicked out¡­" Dr. Rio dared with pouty lips because although Dr. Song was undeniably beautiful, she was also fearsome. She would leave no room for mistakes whenever she was at the helm of a surgery. Dr. Kim interrupted, "I heard Dr. Song was asking for your assistance for another crucial operation tomorrow, Dr. Rio¡­" Dr. Rio rolled her eyes and proudly declared, "Excuse me! I''m a capable doctor, and I always zero in on what I''m doing, so don''t you dare crack a joke about me being tossed out of the operating room. How about I kick you out now, Dr. Kim?" They were still fooling around with each other at the private lounge of the surgical department when Yera walked in, and everyone immediately behaved. Yera had always struck them as being the serious sort, and therefore they would drop whatever tomfooleries they were doing whenever she was around. "Dr. Song, please don''t forget to bring us some souvenirs from the conference. I heard that the country you''re going to has a lot of delicacies," Dr. Rio requested. Yera nodded and gave her a half-smile as she said, "Hmm, tell me what you would like me to bring for you, and I''ll try to get it. All of you can just message me the particular souvenir that you want." The team was having a pleasant time conversing with each other when Shaira received a call from the hospital lobby. She immediately relayed the message. "Dr. Gong, the new interns have already arrived." Dr. Gong nodded in acknowledgment, while Dr. Ye implored, "Oh, please give us beautiful interns. At least as pretty as Dr. Song!" Dr. Rio shook her head and said jokingly, "Haha, I heard there are more male interns this year, so good luck with your appeal, Dr. Ye." The interns arrived, and Dr. Gong introduced them to each of the doctors that were currently present in the lounge. Yera saw a familiar face, which belonged to an intern named Dion Chen. She wondered if she had seen him somewhere before, but her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her mobile phone ringing, so she excused herself from the room to take the call. It was Lyndon Chu¡­ ... Yera had an emergency operation that day, so she had to stay late at the hospital. She had informed Xander that she would sleep in his office instead of coming home to the mansion. She already had some spare clothes she had previously brought and left in the closet inside Xander''s private room. He left the other side of the wardrobe vacant for her to use. She was massaging the nape of her neck as she walked in the corridor going to Xander''s office. She made sure to check the surroundings first before she opened the door to his office''s reception area with his password. She then proceeded directly into his private room. The room was dark, and Yera was too exhausted to notice anything else, so she quickly slipped under the comforters. She was startled when a pair of arms encircled her waist and almost screamed out loud when a palm covered her mouth. "Shhh, it''s just me, Darling¡­" whispered Xander in her ear. Yera abruptly rose and hissed, "Geez! Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Why didn''t you tell me you''d be here? Why are you here?" "Hmm, I don''t want to sleep alone at home, so I decided to wait for you here. I thought I''d surprise you¡­ Hehe sorry, you got frightened instead. Lie back down. Let''s go to sleep now," Xander said as he gently pulled Yera back down on the bed and hugged her waist. Yera could only sigh. She was too tired to even move, and her eyelids had gotten heavier¡­ "By the way, Lyndon called¡­" she murmured in a drowsy voice. "Why?" Xander asked as he tightened his embrace and buried his face on her neck, absorbing her sweet scent. "He wanted to meet me again... He said he forgot some important things. Maybe I''ll meet him after our vacation. I will sleep now..." Yera mumbled, her eyes were already closed. Xander let out a deep sigh. It seemed he would have to make his move faster because a competitor seemed to have appeared. "Darling¡­" Xander muttered. "Hmm," Yera answered, already half asleep. "Uhm, never mind. Go sleep¡­ Goodnight," Xander whispered as he gently pecked Yera''s neck. Yera said she liked Lyndon because Lyndon always treated her well, and he wanted to ask if it was still the case. He would also like to know whom she liked better between Lyndon and him. But maybe he should ask the question after their vacation instead because he would need to score some more points first... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 45 - Most Important Person Xander woke up early. Their flight was in the morning, but they still got time. He wondered if he should wake Yera up too, but he chose to let her sleep for a while more while he looked at her lovingly. Xander was all smiles as he stared at his wife''s angelic and peaceful sleeping face. Finally, this was the day Xander had been waiting for. Today they would go on their honeymoon, and that meant one week of spending time alone with his lovely and beautiful wife. He was just too excited, and he could not hide it¡­ His dearest dad had arranged for a mountain getaway, which was just perfect for Xander''s goal to capture Yera''s heart. They would spend intimate moments while doing a lot of activities together. His smile never left his face at the thought of the word ''intimate.'' He meant emotionally, not physically. ''Liar¡­'' The little buddy in between his thighs snorted. Xander chuckled and admitted, ''Alright, emotionally AND physically.'' Of course, he wanted both, although he would like to focus more on the emotional aspects of their relationship. He wanted Yera to grow more romantic feelings for him. Yera moved and hastily opened her eyes. "Good morning, Darling¡­" Xander greeted her with a sweet smile. ''What a handsome man,'' Yera could not help but gush silently upon seeing Xander''s bright smile in his messy but sexy bedhead. ''He probably just woke up...'' She mused. She quickly brushed off the unnecessary thoughts and got up. She stretched her arms and looked at the clock. "It''s still early¡­ You''re up early¡­" She noted. There was no response from Xander, as he could not help but just stare at her without even a blink from his eyes. He was simply mesmerized by Yera''s beauty. Then he saw her arch her brow in confusion, so he voiced out, "I''m so excited about our trip¡­ By the way, you look so lovely when you wake up in the morning with your messy bed hair." Yera unconsciously brushed her hair with her fingers to fix it. Xander chuckled and messed it more. "There¡­ Very lovely indeed," he said teasingly. Yera was about to grab Xander''s hair, but the latter quickly dodged and got up from the bed. "I''ll shower first. Sleep some more. I''ll wake you up... Or you can always join me in the shower if you like. We can do it together, it would save us time and water. Hm, I would really love to do that, bathing together with you..." Xander said with a teasing grin on his face and was answered with a flying pillow on his face. He promptly dashed into the bathroom before Yera could throw anything else at him. He was whistling as he showered. And once again, Yera was left speechless by her husband''s shamelessness. ..... Assistant Ron dropped the couple off at the airport. As usual, Xander was the embodiment of a perfect gentleman. He was very thoughtful toward Yera and would assist her as they waited for the boarding. Then their flight was called, and they boarded the airplane. The Yang family actually had a private plane, but Yera insisted on traveling with a commercial airline, just like ordinary people. Senior Yang conceded, but still booked an in-flight suite for them since it would be a long flight. "Do you need anything?" Xander asked as soon as they were settled inside their suite. The comfortable bed that was outfitted with lovely linens was calling out to Yera, but she chose to sit on the couch instead. She turned her head at Xander and said with a blank face, "You''re not the flight attendant, nor are you a butler, so just relax during the flight. I can call them myself if I need anything." Xander scratched his head as he realized he was overdoing it. Rui''s advice popped into his mind, "Don''t overdo things, my friend. I''m telling you this because you have a great tendency to do that." Xander tried to control his over-excitement as he sat himself down beside Yera and turned on the television. This was the first time he felt something like this for a woman. The feeling of wanting to do his very best for her¡­ No, not only did he want to do his best for her, but he also wanted to give her the best of everything. He craved Yera''s attention and aspired to be the only one she would take notice of, both in her eyes and her heart. Meanwhile, Yera felt uneasy when she saw Xander''s sudden quietness. So she apologized, "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to be rude, but you''ve been accommodating me too much since this morning. You really don''t need to do that, I can take care of myself..." "I did? But I love doing that. I love assisting you in things, no matter how small, and I don''t think it''s unnecessary at all." Murmured Xander in a low tone of voice. "You are the most important person to me, so please don''t say that the things I do for you are unnecessary¡­" Xander added, to which Yera could only respond with her mouth agape. For a second there, she was once again lost for words. But she soon gathered herself and reassured him while looking him straight in the eyes, "I didn''t mean it like that... I just meant I can also handle simple things on my own. But I do appreciate your thoughtfulness and efforts. So, thank you..." She felt like she was a terrible person for turning down Xander''s sweet gestures, but his actions made her confused about her own feelings. And she hated the feeling of being confused. Xander looked at her and sighed before he responded, "If you really appreciate my efforts, then a kiss will do as a thank you¡­" "What?!" Yera retorted and saw the expression on Xander''s face was still a sulky one. "I said, a kiss will do like this¡­" Xander repeated his words and demonstrated it to her by quickly giving Yera a peck on her lips, before he ran toward the bed and said, "I woke up too early this morning, so I''ll sleep a bit more. Please feel free to accompany me anytime¡­ I won''t mind at all... Darling..." Yera could only murmur helplessly with her mouth slightly agape, "Really shameless..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 46 - Bullied Nonstop Xander could tell that Yera loved the mountains when he saw the smile and excitement on her face as soon as they reached their destination. She even stretched her arms wide and took a deep breath to absorb the fresh air. The peaceful natural setting, drenched in clean and invigorating air, combined with a sense of adventure around every turn, would surely make their days together attractive and exciting. He smiled in satisfaction as he looked at Yera''s thrilled expression as soon as they entered their luxury cabin. "It''s nice," Yera murmured. Everything about the lodging was perfect, from its snug interior, spacious layout, to its fantastic art collection. It also had the convenience of high-end amenities such as a complete kitchen, queen-sized bed, full entertainment system, and a BBQ. And to add even more to its appeal, the cabin also had a massive wood-burning fireplace, a heated indoor pool with an adjacent hot tub next to a large picture window. The gorgeous panoramic mountain view from the window reminded Yera of her days with Chief Doctor Song in his remote shelter deep in the mountains. It was probably why she loved their lodge and its surroundings. Yera curled up on the sofa to enjoy the breathtaking view while Xander was busy discussing their activities for the following days with the lodge manager. The snow had already melted so they could go on a lot of outdoor activities, like hiking, mountain climbing, kayaking, and many more, according to the manager. It would be Yera''s first time to try out those kinds of activities, so she could hardly wait to do them all. "Hmmm, I''ll go and prepare our lunch. You can relax here for a bit," said Xander as soon as the manager left. "You will cook? Can''t we just order food?" asked Yera casually, to which Xander responded by puckering his lips and replying in a disappointed voice. "Don''t you want to try my cooking?" Rui said the saying ''A way into a man''s heart is through his stomach'' was absolutely applicable to women too. Although it was an overused strategy, he still has to try it. But how come Yera did not seem to be interested, and he had not even started. "Please don''t misunderstand," Yera tried to explain as soon as she saw Xander''s long face. She hated to see him like that because a sullen mood really did not suit him. She would much rather see his usual cheerful self, preferably, all the time. She continued, "We''ve just had a long flight, so I''m sure you''re tired too. So why don''t we just order something? If you really want to cook, then how about you cook tomorrow or any other day? We''ll be here for a week." Xander''s face brightened after hearing Yera''s explanation. So it was not because she was not interested, but it was because she was concerned about his well-being. He reassured her, "I deliberately slept a lot during the flight because I want to do this. So, just relax while I prepare our lunch, okay?" Yera no longer insisted and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the window as she cozied up on the sofa while hugging her knees. She thought of visiting Chief Doctor Song''s tomb soon. Maybe before her transfer to the Life Globals group. Xander opened the refrigerator and saw that all the ingredients he needed was there. Prior to their arrival, he had already requested the lodging manager to fill up the fridge. He had practiced some of the recipes he was planning to make during their honeymoon. Although Yera could not be called a foodie, since she loved her work more than food, she was not a picky eater either. One thing that Yera loved to eat was various kinds of vegetables because they were healthy. So Xander prepared some spring rolls filled with green veggies. He also made wonton soup since the weather was still a bit cold. He was humming all along as he cooked, and Yera could not help but watch him from where she was sitting. Yera''s heart was suddenly cheered upon seeing Xander in an apron. She had never thought that a man could look so sexy in it. Her eyes widened at the thought of the word ''sexy.'' Since when had she even bothered to describe a man? Even with Bernard, the word ''sexy'' had never come into her mind. Xander seemed to notice Yera''s gaze because he paused to give her the sweetest smile, which was followed by a wink that almost made Yera''s heart jump. Her face turned crimson red, and she quickly shifted her gaze back to the window, while she unconsciously patted her cheeks, which seemed to have become hot. ''Stop it!'' Yera scolded herself for the fluctuating beat her heart was making. She felt that she would have a heart attack soon if she could not calm it. ''Bernard¡­. I''m afraid¡­'' She quietly murmured. She was afraid of the intense emotions she was having¡­ She was not ready to entertain her own feelings¡­ She was terrified¡­ Yera took a deep breath and exhaled loudly as she reminded herself of her original goal. She needed to take everything back that was stolen from her and to bring justice to herself and her grandfather. She was kidnapped, shot, and almost died, so someone should pay for it. Furthermore, she was also convinced that her grandfather''s death was a murder, so she would need to find a proof. After around an hour, Xander was done, and he called her to eat. Yera went toward the kitchen and sat on a chair Xander pulled for her. She felt that he pampered her too much. She looked at the dishes and praised him. "You prepared a lot. They all look good¡­" Xander proceeded to serve her by filling her plate with rice and side dishes and her bowl with soup. Yera tasted the soup first, while Xander was looking at her intently, waiting for her reaction. For some reason, Yera had a silly thought of pranking him¡­ "How was it? Xander asked impatiently when he did not hear anything from Yera, as she only maintained a blank expression. Yera''s face just twisted a bit, but she still did not utter a word. Xander''s shoulders sank at the thought that his dishes did not pass Yera''s assessment. Then after hearing his sigh of disappointment, Yera smiled and grabbed the bowl to sip the soup from it directly. She first blew on it since it was still hot before she took another sip, and another one, taking all the wontons into her mouth. Xander was confused¡­ As soon as Yera chugged down the last bit of the soup, she smiled and said, "It''s actually delicious." Xander''s face crumpled as he complained, "Were you just pulling on my leg? Since when did you become mischievous like that?" Yera laughed and kept teasing, "I''ve learned it from the best bully around here. I wonder who it was..." Xander grinned broadly and declared, "Well¡­ If trying to gain your attention is considered bullying by you, then be prepared to get bullied nonstop from this man¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Xander asked as he was browsing through the available activities on his tablet. "Anything is fine with me, so you decide..." Yera answered as she sipped on the tea that Xander made for her. They were both sitting next to each other on the couch while looking at the beautiful scenery before them. "Does this place have the same vibe as the area where you used to live with Dr. Song? Does it remind you of that place?" Xander asked as he gazed at the view of the rough mountain wilderness before them. Yera sighed before she replied, "Yes, it does. Except, of course, the lodging. This cabin is far more luxurious than Dr. Song''s modest home. But the mountains are similar... Although the other location was more remote..." Yera ended up telling Xander all the stories from that time of her life, from which she had learned a lot. "Chief Doctor Song specialized in oriental medicine, so I really learned a lot from him, especially how to distinguish medicinal herbs," Yera explained. Then she remarked, "I guess you''ve looked into me thoroughly." She was not surprised Xander knew almost everything about her because of his vast connection of contacts. "Yeah, I did¡­ You were Bernard''s fiancee, and on the day Bernard died, a doctor recognized you as Dr. Yera Han. I had never seen you before, but your name was something that I have always been familiar with what with our hospitals being each other''s rivals. So I just had to look into it," Xander honestly admitted. "Well, it was the same for me¡­ Even though I heard a lot about you, I never got curious enough to see how you look like," Yera revealed. "Were you disappointed when you finally met me?" asked Xander as he straightened his back from curiosity. "No. You''re well-known as a playboy, so it wasn''t surprising that you look good¡­" Yera answered nonchalantly. Upon hearing her answer, Xander turned his body to face her. He rested his elbow on the headrest of the couch as he stared at her and said in a stern voice, "Hmm, look at me¡­" Yera tilted her head sideways to face him and murmured, "Hmm?" Her gaze was at Xander, who was now looking at her as he solemnly declared, "I''m not a playboy, okay? I admit I dated a lot, but it wasn''t like what the rumor said¡­ Other people can call me a playboy for all I care, except for you. I care about what you think of me, and I don''t want you to think of me as a philanderer." Yera did not know what to make of his statement. She did not see the reason why he should be defending himself, so she told him, "You don''t have to explain¡­" "I do. I have to, and I want to explain because like I said, I care about what you think of me. Honestly, you''re the first and only woman who had caught my interest¡­" Xander added, which only earned him another confused look from Yera. ''Is he awake, or is he sleeping?'' She wondered with a pursed lips. Xander seemed to be able to read her mind when he said, "It''s not my sleeping disorder, okay? I''m fully awake¡­ I''m saying that I like you, Yera." ''He''s saying he likes you¡­'' Her inner self repeated. Xander released a frustrated sigh because Yera remained quiet as she stared at him in disbelief, so he added, "You don''t need to say anything now. I just want you to know that I like you. I understand you, and as I said before, I will not force you to do anything that is against your will." From the conflicted look on her face, Xander could almost see the mayhem that he had caused in her heart, so he smiled and pinched her nose. "Don''t think too much about it and just relax on our vacation, alright? By the way, what do you want for dinner?" "You''ll cook again?" Yera asked when she could finally speak again. Xander nodded and said, "Yeah¡­ If we are not doing activities outside, I will be in charge of our meals." Yera was so thankful that Xander changed the topic because she was really caught off guard by his confession¡­ She did not know how to respond to it properly. It had never occurred to her that he would actually like her because personality-wise, they couldn''t be any more different from each other. She suddenly felt guilty because she was only using him to reach her goal¡­ But then again, it was him who offered. ''Wait¡­ Did he already like me at that time?'' She mused at the thought but dismissed it because it was highly unlikely, considering they had only met each other twice or thrice before he offered her the contract. They were married legally and lawfully, but it was still done under a contract, and she would like it to stay that way. Her thoughts were interrupted when Xander repeated his question, "So, what do you want for dinner?" "Oh, anything will do¡­ I''ll just go soak in the hot tub for a while to relax my muscles," Yera said as she stood up. "Alright¡­ Let me join you¡­" Xander answered with a wicked smile. It was time to flaunt his sexy body to his aloof wife. Yera would love to soak her body in the warm water while wearing nothing, but she would not be able to do that if Xander joined her, so she objected, "Can''t you go after me? Or you can go first... I don''t want to go in together because I prefer to soak without any clothes on¡­" Xander gulped at the thought of Yera''s naked body. He then said, "Alright, then to make it fair, I will not wear anything either¡­ Don''t worry, you can go into the tub first so I won''t see a thing. I''ll even close my eyes if you say so. Please? Let''s soak together. I want to relax my muscles too, but I hate being in the hot tub alone..." Yera sighed in defeat and murmured, "Alright, I''ll just wear my swimwear... Make sure you wear yours too," She did not have the energy to argue with him, but she still wanted to soak in the hot tub, so she willingly compromised. "Yes, darling¡­ I will¡­ Promise¡­" Xander said with a big grin on his face. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 48 - Hot Tub Yera changed into her bikini and was the first to go inside the hot tub. "This feels nice," she murmured, feeling gratified, as soon as her skin came into contact with the warm water. She leaned back comfortably and closed her eyes to relax. She loved to indulge herself in this kind of relaxation. It was like a therapy to her. Of course, it would have been even better if she could soak with nothing on, but Xander was persistent in joining her, so she decided to cover her private parts at least, by wearing a bikini. Not that it was a big deal since she was sure that just like her, Xander had also seen a lot of naked bodies. But she was glad that she had brought the two-piece swimming garment anyway. Meanwhile, Xander took his sweet time to check himself out on the full-length mirror in the bathroom. He had his swimming trunks on, and he was practicing on his walk to make the most effective use of his sexiness when he walked to the hot tub later. It was a law of nature that sexy people would attract others'' attention regardless of their gender. Just like how men would drool over sexy women, it was also the same for women when they saw hot men. He chuckled at how funny he looked right now as he was trying different kinds of poses that would look good on him. He admired his well-built body as he touched his own abdominal muscles. "Don''t let me down," he encouraged them to perform well in giving him the eye-catching presence that would catch Yera''s attention. He was ready, so he went out of the bedroom to head to the hot tub. Yera naturally opened her eyes when she heard footsteps approaching. Her expressionless gaze was on Xander when he emerged into her view, smiling. Xander was obviously blessed with a great body¡­ "Nice trunks," she complimented when Xander joined her inside the hot tub. ''Nice trunks? That''s all?'' Xander wanted to protest out loud. How was it possible that this woman only noticed his swimming trunks instead of his desirable body? And what was with that expressionless face? Was she so used to seeing the anatomy of her nude male patients when she operated on them? But how many of them were as hot as him anyway? Even though he was a doctor, Xander did not actually like to examine patients. And neither was he a surgeon, so he could never operate on them. So, unlike Yera, who had also seen her share of corpses, Xander hardly ever saw a naked body. Xander pouted his lips in disappointment but gulped as soon as he noticed what Yera was wearing. She had indeed said that she was going to put on some swimwear but never had he imagined it would be a set of bikini. Yera was wearing a bright royal blue bikini that could be seen under the clear water of the hot tub. He cursed as he felt his little buddy reacting sensationally. ''What''s wrong with you? Don''t be so dramatic. Calm down!'' He scolded it inwardly, as he submerged himself further into the water, trying to hide his bulging arousal from Yera. He was afraid Yera would be alarmed if she saw how overly-excited his little junior was. He heard Yera scoff, and his face crumpled. "I need to go to the restroom," she murmured as she leisurely stood up and went out of the tub. Xander almost forgot how to breathe as his jaw fell to the floor... Yera''s body was so ideally curved, it could easily entice anyone. She moved so effortlessly graceful in her bikini like it was nothing to her. Was she trying to show off her ravishing body to him? He suddenly regretted to join her in the hot tub because he was undoubtedly just torturing himself. The temptation to touch her was simply too strong for him to resist. He looked at his little buddy with sympathy as soon as Yera was out of their sight. "Sorry, bud... But we need to pull ourselves together, okay?" he murmured as he tried hard to tame his little buddy who had obviously been starved for years before he met Yera. He let out a long depressed sigh before he leaned back and closed his eyes to meditate¡­ He might need cold water to cool his body down¡­ ............ At Life Hospitals Group Lyndon''s office door was opened abruptly by a woman who was wearing a pair of sassy stilettos, and a red body fitting dress. "Why haven''t you been answering my calls?!" Jam snarled at her fiance as soon as she entered the room. Lyndon''s face frowned as he answered casually, "I''m a busy man, Jam. You would only call to whine anyway. Do I need to answer it every time?" Jam''s brow arched as she warned him. "I''m your fiancee, Lyndon, so yes, you have to answer every time I call. Shall I remind you who helped you to be in that position?" Lyndon gritted his teeth in silent anger, but he tried to compose himself and asked, "What is it that you want?" Jam''s face softened as she circled Lyndon''s desk to sit on his lap. She played with his necktie as she said, "I missed you. What else did you think I want? We haven''t gone out on a date in such a long time, and you rarely visit me." Then Jam leaned down to kiss his lips, but Lyndon quickly retracted his face and murmured, "I will visit you soon. I will be very busy this month, so please just wait for my call. Don''t pay me a sudden visit like this anymore." Jam complained, "What''s wrong with you?! You weren''t like this before!" She instantly stood up when she felt Lyndon''s blatant rejection and stormed out of his office. As soon as she was outside, she took out her phone and dialed her father''s number. "Have someone check out Lyndon! He''s acting weird, Dad!" she said, on the verge of tears. She loved Lyndon since she was young, but the Chu Family had chosen Yera over her. Yera was now gone, and she thought she would finally get Lyndon for herself now, but he had not changed one bit. She was always the one who kept throwing herself at him, but Lyndon had never really reciprocated her feelings. Even so, Lyndon had always been treating her amiably before, until recently. Lately, he had been avoiding her...

They were sipping on champagne as they enjoyed the warmth from the glowing embers. Xander made sure that Yera was only getting one glass of champagne, although Yera also wanted to have a glass of dessert wine, which had a higher alcohol content. "NO!" Xander firmly rejected. He surely would not want to be tormented on the first night of their romantic mountain getaway. Just the thought of himself being played by the crazy drunken Yera made Xander flinch. No, he definitely did not want to have blue balls like before. It was damn torturous. "Why not? I''m with you, and I trust you. Don''t tell me you wouldn''t be able to handle a fragile woman like me when I''m drunk? Are you that weak?" Yera provoked him in the hope that Xander would be cajoled into allowing her to drink more. She could not believe how strict Xander was in not letting her drink just one more glass. "Fragile? No, no, no, Darling¡­ You''re nowhere near fragile when you''re drunk¡­ In your state of drunkenness, you resemble an escaped tigress that would go on an attack spree at any moment," Xander disputed with a horrified look on his face as he recalled how this escaped tigress had previously assaulted him, only to leave him hanging after she decided that she had had enough fun with him. "Really? Am I really that crazy when I''m drunk?" Yera doubted but was immediately answered by Xander with multiple vehement nods as he chugged down his drink. But Yera really felt like drinking, and she was not willing to take no for an answer. So she tried to grab the champagne bottle from Xander''s hand, but unfortunately for her, he was too quick to dodge her hand. "Don''t be stubborn, Darling¡­" Xander was grinning broadly as he enjoyed teasing Yera. "Let''s do rock, paper, and scissors... What you''re doing is not fair¡­" Yera complained, seeing how unyielding Xander was. Yera frowned and let out some heavy sighs, which made Xander suddenly feel perturbed. He heard Yera''s temper could get the better of her when she''s irate and that she had a tendency to walk away from any conversations when it happened. So he quickly conceded to appease her, "Alright, alright¡­ Let''s play that then." Yera''s eyes lit up, and she quickly faced Xander with her legs crossed and her back straight. "Ready?" She said as she positioned her right hand to start the game¡­ "Rock, paper, scissors.." Rock for Xander and paper for Yera, who immediately smiled as she grabbed the champagne bottle from Xander''s hand and poured some of its content into her glass. She drank it in one gulp. "Ready¡­ Rock, paper, scissors.." Scissor for Xander and rock for Yera, who, again, excitedly grabbed the bottle to pour herself another glass of champagne, which she downed effortlessly. "Yes!" Xander shouted when he finally won the round but quickly sighed as he held the empty champagne bottle. He had no other choice but to open the bottle of dessert wine which Yera had requested earlier, and had a higher alcohol content. He was scratching his head, trying to figure out a way to keep winning. "Rock, paper, scissors.." "Yay!" Yera cheered as she won the next round. She grabbed the bottle, and this time, she drank directly from it. Xander was totally flabbergasted as he watched Yera gulping down the alcoholic drink as though it was just a bottle of water. And, of course, she finished the whole bottle. Xander''s face turned serious as he said, "Okay, that''s it... The game ends here. You''ve already had enough to drink. Look at your cheeks, they''re as red as a tomato¡­" Yera tittered as she wiped some of the spilled drinks off her lips. Then she gave Xander a big smile as she licked her lips and whispered, "This is good... I want more¡­" Xander frowned and responded by shaking his head. It was evident that Yera was already drunk. She puckered her lips as she gave Xander a pitiful puppy-eyes look and begged him, "Please...?" Xander cursed and murmured, "How can you be so cute when you''re drunk?" Then Yera suddenly stood up to get some more drinks, but she almost fell as she couldn''t maintain her balance. Xander was quick to catch her, and she fell onto his lap. To his surprise, she climbed onto him so she could sit on his lap while facing him. "Let''s play more?" She asked, with a sweet smile on her face, which was now just inches away from Xander''s. Xander was holding his breath, trying his best to resist the temptation of pulling Yera in for a deep hot kiss. But of course, Yera had a mind of her own. She saw Xander''s tensed face and promptly pressed her lips onto his as she whispered, "Why are you not smiling? Here, copy mine¡­" Xander''s body froze as Yera playfully sucked on his upper and lower lips like they were a lollipop. She did that for one good minute, and then she stopped. Xander almost followed her lips as she pulled them away from his. He cursed at the thought of Yera just messing around with him again. Yera''s gaze shifted to Xander''s chest as she bit her lower lip. He could see her knitting her eyebrows, but just a second later, she grabbed his shirt as she tried to rip it in two. "What are you doing?" Xander whispered, astonished. "Doing a physical check-up. Aren''t you my patient? Why can''t I remove this?" Yera asked in a drunken and frustrated voice as she couldn''t rip the shirt up. She tried a couple more times, but to no avail, so she decided to just remove it upward. A wicked grin escaped her lips when she succeeded in removing the shirt. Then she touched Xander''s bare chest, caressed every part of it, including his nipples, which brought out some soft little moans from his mouth. Xander was drowning in the sensation that he was experiencing, so much that he felt paralyzed from putting a stop to whatever Yera was doing to him. ''Nah, you can move... Not paralyzed at all. You''re just enjoying this too much, and you''re anticipating what she would do next.'' He could hear his inner voice mocking him. Then he heard Yera giggle as she pulled her body a bit away from him just enough so she could remove Xander''s sweatpants. Xander''s eyes widened in shock, but he remained still as he only watched her in awe as she pulled down his sweatpants and underwear, just enough to free his already stifling little buddy. He suddenly came back to his senses and was about to stop Yera, but he was too late¡­ Yera was already petting his aroused little buddy, and he could only let out a groan. "I''ve seen a lot of this, but I was never able to touch them... Except when I had to perform a phalloplasty on my patient, but I don''t do that kind of surgery anymore," Yera murmured groggily as she kept touching his hard-on. Xander could no longer take it, so he pulled Yera in for an ardent kiss, which she answered equally, while her hand never stopped caressing his hard length¡­ She then held his manhood gently and started to stroke it up and down... "Stop it, Yera¡­" Xander growled, but Yera only giggled and murmured, "Why? I''m giving it a massage¡­ Don''t you want a massage?" Xander could only pant and groan as Yera continued to rub and tug his erection as if she was molding an object out of it. He finally could not stand it anymore, He hungrily kissed Yera before a sudden plea came from his mouth in between his kiss, "Darling¡­ I''m going crazy¡­ Please do the massage a bit faster¡­" Yera gave him a sweet smile and moved her hand faster as she complied with her patient''s request¡­ A few minutes later, Xander cried out in ecstasy, as fluid flowed out of his little buddy like champagne spurting from the bottle. At the same time, Yera fell in his embrace, and sluggishly muttered, "Check-up done, the doctor is out..." And as usual, Yera passed out. But at least this time, she did not leave him hanging. Xander did not know whether he should laugh or cry at how awkward his first orgasm from his wife had come about. He tightened his hug on Yera and gently stroked her hair, before he lovingly kissed her head and murmured, "You can play like this all you want¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 50 - Together Xander woke up at the crack of dawn and was totally in his best mood ever. He looked at Yera, who was sleeping peacefully in his embrace. "Hmm, my wife is so pretty," he murmured, admiring Yera''s beautiful face. He gently caressed her rosy cheeks before planting gentle kisses on them, followed by her nose and her supple lips. He moved carefully, making sure he would not disturb her. He was positive Yera would be hungover as soon as she woke up because of last night. So he wanted to prepare something good to assuage her discomfort. He tiptoed out of their room and headed to the kitchen. On his way there, his eyes landed on the fire pit, and a broad smile curved his lips. He was still on cloud nine at the thought of what had happened last night. "Maybe banning my lovely wife from drinking is not a good idea after all," he pondered. ''Pervert!'' His inner voice mocked him. Xander ignored it and hummed cheerfully as he prepared some hangover food for Yera. The sun had not yet risen, but knowing Yera, who was as an early riser, Xander was sure she would wake up soon. He was all smiles while he cooked as he replayed last night''s incident in his head. His face would occasionally turn red as he recalled the feeling of pleasure that he was experiencing by courtesy of his wife. Xander took a quick shower as soon as he was done with cooking and went back to bed to wait for Yera to wake up. The radiant ray of sunshine flickered through the window and landed on Yera''s face. Xander was about to raise his hand to block it, but Yera already stirred and gently opened her eyes. Xander''s smiling face was the first thing her eyes saw, and she unconsciously smiled back as she murmured, "Good morning. Oh crap, my head will burst¡­" Xander laughed and said, "Wait here. I''ve made soup, and I''ll get some medicines for your hangover." Xander came back with a tray in his hands and saw Yera sit on their bed, leaning her head on the headrest with her eyes closed. "Darling, breakfast is here¡­" Xander said as he placed the tray on the bed. Yera was already used to Xander calling her darling that it no longer made her feel awkward, like before. "Did I do a lot of crazy things again last night?" She asked curiously because she was sure she must have, and she wanted to know what it was that made Xander adamant in not allowing her to drink. Xander''s face reddened, and Yera noticed it, so she commented, "You''re red." She touched his face to check his temperature and felt that it was quite normal. "Oh, it must be the weather. You were not that crazy last night. Uhm- just ¡­ Uhm the rock, paper, and scissors game... You screamed each time you won, and you finished the whole bottle and asked for more¡­" narrated Xander in a stammering voice. Yera frowned and asked, "Is that all?" Xander''s mouth twitched as he was not sure whether he should tell Yera about the finale of her drunken act last night. "It didn''t sound crazy enough to me¡­" Yera murmured as she ate her soup. Xander massaged the nape of his neck and mumbled, "Yeah, nothing crazy¡­" "Hmm, then let''s drink again tonight¡­ Let''s try their wines¡­" Yera suggested enthusiastically, to which Xander could only respond by swallowing really hard and coughing to clear his throat... ...¡­.. The couple got ready for their first outdoor activity. Yera wanted to try horseback riding. It had always been her wish since she was young, but unfortunately, she had never gotten around to doing it because her grandfather had always been busy growing their Life Globals group. And when she got older, she still had not managed to do it since she had also become so busy continuing her grandfather''s work. Now that she thought about it, she had never enjoyed the simple things in life. "Let''s ride on one horse since you''re still a beginner, or do you already want to try it alone?" Xander asked when the stable master arrived with two horses. He was quite skilled in riding a horse because it was one of his pastimes with Rui. Yera did not respond as she was still contemplating. Xander winked at her when their eyes met. Then he offered his hand and said, "Let''s just go together for now¡­" He could tell from Yera''s expression that she wanted to do it alone, but was unsure¡­ No, she was afraid¡­ Yera looked at the hand that Xander extended and then back at his smiling face. Then she raised her hand to accept his. Xander immediately pulled her closer and held her waist. He looked directly into her eyes and whispered, "Whenever you''re unsure or afraid of things, remember that I''m always here for you¡­ Always take my hand, and don''t hesitate..." Then he quickly turned her around and lifted her up so she would sit on the saddle. It made Yera gasp. And when she was settled, Xander also hopped onto the horse and sat behind her, pressing his upper body on her back as he guided the horse to walk slowly. Yera could feel Xander''s warm breath on the back of her neck. Xander guided the trusty steed along a slow-paced trek that allowed them to take in their surroundings. "Are you still nervous?" Xander whispered in her ears, and it sent shivers through her body. Yes, she was still nervous, but not because of the horseback riding. Her heart was beating irregularly from their physical closeness as Xander hugged her from behind. "Uhm, no.." She murmured plainly as she tried to calm herself. "When you feel you''re ready, you can try it on your own," said Xander. Yera let out a small sigh and said, "It''s okay... Doing it together like this is enough. I just wanted to try this because it had been my dream since I was young. Funny, I''m already twenty-nine¡­" Xander heard Yera''s soft laughter, and happiness shimmered inside him because Yera was starting to open up about herself to him. He listened attentively as she continued to tell him more about her childhood and the things she had failed to experience before. "Let''s do it all¡­ Together¡­" Xander told Yera with a genuine smile on his face. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 51 - Losing You Xander and Yera had a wonderful time during their horseback riding, in which they marveled at all the natural wonders that they saw and enjoyed a pleasant chat all throughout the ride. Afterward, they went on a gondola lift ride, where they could see more beautiful scenes of the mountains from above. The view was simply breathtaking. Yera was grateful that she agreed to join the trip even though she was dreading it in the beginning. If Xander had not persuaded her to go, she would have missed a rare and enjoyable experience such as this. Xander took a lot of selfies on his mobile phone with Yera, who surprisingly was very cooperative. He was initially hesitant to ask her because Yera did not seem to be the type who liked to enjoy this kind of thing. "Send me those," Yera murmured after they shot a lot of selfies together. "I will send some of these to you later," Xander said excitedly as he put his phone back in his pocket. He needed to sort them out first and would only send the photos to Yera, in which he looked good. They soared up 1,800 meters above sea level, to the top of the mountain. Xander felt Yera trembling a bit, so he held her hand and clasped it tightly. "Are you afraid of heights?" He asked. Yera looked at him and murmured, "Not really, but this is my first time in this kind of thing, so I''m a bit nervous¡­" "Yeah, everything that you do for the first time will always make you nervous¡­ But don''t worry, I''m always here," he reassured her. Xander knew that he was becoming redundant by saying that time and again, but he really wanted to make her understand that she could always rely on him because he would always have her back. "Aren''t you afraid of anything?" Yera asked, which surprised Xander. But he was mostly happy because Yera finally seemed to show an interest in him. He quickly answered, without even thinking, "Hmm, I think I''m afraid of rats and cockroaches?" Yera rolled her eyes and said, "Seriously¡­" "Hmm, okay... There''s one thing I''m afraid of¡­ You know that I''m an easygoing person, who would always do things that I want. So I''m not really afraid of anything... except for one," Xander murmured as he looked at their hands that were clasped together. "What''s that?" Yera asked. "I''m afraid of losing you¡­" Xander said in a serious voice. Yera''s heart almost lurched out of her chest from those words. She became more tensed, and her hands grew colder. "Are you alright?" Xander asked when he noticed Yera''s face turning pale. Yera gave him a half-smile and mumbled, "Uhm, it''s just the height, I guess I''m not good with heights..." Xander pulled her closer to him and gently rubbed Yera''s shoulders. "Just relax and enjoy the view¡­" He comforted her and tried to shift Yera''s attention by pointing to the beautiful scenery along the ride. Yera turned her gaze to where Xander was pointing and tried to relax, as Xander suggested, but her palpitating heart was refusing to cooperate. She knew something was wrong with her, and she had an inkling about what it might be, but she was not ready to truly put her finger on it... Xander was extremely caring toward her all throughout the day. They had their meal at a nearby restaurant, which was recommended by their lodge manager. "Do you want to go hiking tomorrow? We can also go on a picnic afterward. I''ll prepare everything we need. What do you think?" Xander suggested as he sliced the steak on his plate and put it on Yera''s plate. "Yeah, it sounds nice. Let''s do that¡­" Yera said with a smile. Xander''s smile was like a contagious disease with which she had been infected. "What?" She asked when she saw Xander grin. "Nothing... I just thought that this gift from Dad is really nice," he said with a wink. He actually wanted to tell Yera that he was happy to see her often smiling lately, but decided not to because Yera would often go back to wearing her blank face every time he pointed out the positive changes in her. Yera nodded in agreement. It was indeed a lovely gift because she was really enjoying the place and¡­ She paused her thought and bashfully looked at Xander, who was eating heartily. She must admit that the trip was even more enjoyable because of Xander''s company. When night came, the two were exhausted and decided to sleep early for the hiking tomorrow, and as usual, they slept together in one bed. Also, as usual, Xander would sneak a gentle kiss on Yera''s lips when she was already deep asleep. He sighed and tried to pull himself together as he hugged her. He wondered how long he could manage to maintain his self-control... ...¡­.. At Yang Ancestral Mansion "Do you think I''ll have a grandchild soon? That brat was so slow that I had to make a move," Senior Yang complained as Butler Gary poured him a cup of coffee. "Give them time, Master¡­" Butler Gary advised him. Senior Yang released a long deep sigh. Xander¡­ He knew his son well, and he only hoped for what was best for him. "By the way, get Ralf on the phone. I want to know the progress of the investigation¡­ Why is it taking so long? My daughter-in-law must have her justice soon, so both she and my son can finally live at peace and focus on building their own family," Senior Yang voiced out his concern. "And one more thing... See to it that the herbal medicine I ordered would arrive faster. I want to give it to them as soon as they return. My friend said it''s very effective for conceiving a child, so I have to make sure that those two will take it daily," Senior Yang added as a mischievous smile formed on his face. He could not wait to play with his grandchildren in their mansion. It was too big, and he wanted its rooms and halls to reverberate with children''s voices and waves of laughter. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Rui told him that hiking would be a great activity if Xander truly desired some quality time with Yera. It was like killing two birds with one stone because they would also get some exercise in the process. The tour guide said that the distance of a round trip was relatively short, about fifteen kilometers or less. Yera loved the hike and would take a photo once in a while. They took a short break, and her gaze accidentally landed on Xander, who was in the middle of drinking water from his bottle. He looked so manly that Yera unconsciously raised her camera and snapped a shot of him. Xander heard the clicking sound of the camera and naturally turned his head to where it was from. He caught Yera sneaking a picture of him and quickly turned her head away to focus her camera somewhere else. A devilish, cheeky smile curved Xander''s perfect lips as he said, "Darling, next time you want a picture of me, just tell me, so I can at least strike a good pose for you. Something you can look at whenever you miss me¡­" Yera''s cheeks flushed as she quickly retorted, "Who''s taking your picture? The view behind you is spectacular and I couldn''t help but take a picture of it¡­ And, and¡­" "Alright, alright, Darling, don''t be so defensive¡­ I was just saying... Anyway, let''s walk more? Come¡­" Xander laughed as he pacified her. He then extended his hand and offered it to Yera. Lately, he often offered his hand to her and waited for her to take it, instead of just grabbing her hand. Why? Because he loved the feeling of Yera trusting him by accepting his hand¡­ He smiled in contentment when Yera took his hand. He clasped their hands together tightly, and they resumed their hike hand in hand. They stopped as they reached a beautiful spot for a picnic. Xander took all the things that he had prepared out of the picnic basket. They were just some light snacks, like sandwiches and fruits that he had personally peeled and cut. Yera could not help but laugh. "What''s with the shape?" She asked upon seeing the shape the fruits were cut in when she opened the fruit box. There were varieties of fruits inside; apple, melon, pear, peach, and more, but they were all cut in one shape¡­ She immediately regretted her words and almost cursed because she knew it was the wrong question, and she could tell what Xander''s answer would be. "What''s wrong with it? It''s my heart¡­" Xander said confidently, and Yera could only bite her lip. Xander got a fork and pierced a piece of the heart-shaped melon and offered her, "Here, Darling, these are all for you." Yera twitched her mouth before she opened it to accept the piece of melon. Xander was known as someone with a silver tongue, and sweet-talking someone was a walk in the park for him¡­ He surely knew how to make one''s heart flutter effortlessly. Yera unintentionally touched her chest where the heart organ was¡­ "What''s wrong?" Xander asked with concern because Yera looked worried. "Nothing, just my stomach¡­ I''m hungry¡­" Yera murmured as she put more pieces of fruit into her mouth. Xander was confused because Yera was touching her chest and not her stomach. Because of the remote location, the hiking trail wasn''t overrun with crowds and noise, which allowed Xander and Yera plenty of opportunities for some sweet quality time together. "What do you prefer? To live in a place like this or stay in the city?" Xander asked as he handed Yera a sandwich with vegetable fillings. Yera looked around at the place¡­ She loved the quiet and serene ambiance, the green trees, and the fresh air. "I love this kind of place, but I also love to work at a big hospital. And you can only find big hospitals in the city. So, going on a vacation to this kind of place once in a while would be enough." "Hmm, the same for me¡­" Xander murmured. He actually had a villa in a tranquil setting like this one. But it was the villa where Bernard and Yera were supposed to go to when they were met with the tragic accident that had cost Bernard his life. It would not be a good idea to bring Yera there because he did not want to remind her of the heart-wrenching scene of losing Bernard. But the villa was his favorite place, so it would be nice if he could bring Yera there someday. They had a pleasant time chatting with each other about a lot of things, from their childhood experience to matters concerning the medical industry. After quite some time, Xander and Yera decided to go back to their cabin. On their way back, Yera unexpectedly tripped. Xander was fast to catch her, but Yera seemed to have hurt her ankle as she was limping when she tried to walk, so Xander led her to the nearest stone chair. "I hurt my ankle but it''s nothing serious," Yera said after assessing the condition of her ankle. "I''ll carry you," Xander offered his back for a piggyback ride, but Yera refused. Xander arched a brow and faced Yera as he said, "Are you going to walk the whole way back in that condition? Or would you prefer me to front-carry you so you could wrap your legs around my waist and your arms around my neck? Hmm, that''s actually not a bad idea at all¡­" Yera blushed and immediately replied, "Let''s do the piggyback ride." Xander smiled as he turned his back around and bent down so Yera could climb onto his back, "You have to hold onto me tightly, Darling¡­" Yera gasped when Xander grabbed her legs with both of his hands to support her. "Am I heavy?" Yera asked cautiously. She felt bad to make Xander carry her for almost seven kilometers. They left the picnic basket so Xander could carry her better. "Yeah, you''re quite heavy, so you must compensate me for this¡­" Xander jested, grinning. Then he added, "Don''t worry, I won''t demand too much¡­ Nothing you can''t handle¡­" Yera wondered what else was there that he could ask from her as a reward? Xander smiled at Yera''s silence¡­ He did not mind having a back pain at all because he loved carrying Yera like this, regardless of how long the road was. "How about you sing for me? That would energize me and I won''t feel your weight during the walk anymore" Xander suggested. Yera hesitated, but she started to hum her favorite song¡­ ''This feels great,'' Xander mused. Yera was no longer as aloof as before¡­ He would really treat his father big time as soon as they returned. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Yera''s ankle was not swollen and she had all the rest she needed the previous day, so she reassured Xander that it was fine for them to resume their outdoor activities, as long as they were light ones. The mountains have a few lakes that contained fish, and they decided to go to the most accessible lake that would only require a short hike on a well-marked and maintained trail. Small rowing boats or what they call the dinghies were available, and Xander said they would use one¡­ He was talking to the person in charge while Yera was enjoying another spectacular scenery and solitude surrounding her. The mountain lake offered a mild temperature that was great for fishing. It was Yera''s first time to try fishing, and she was really looking forward to it. "Let''s go?" Xander said, wearing his usual charming smile on his face as he offered his hand to help her go aboard the dinghy they would be using. Yera nodded and accepted Xander''s hand as she gently stepped onto the vessel. "Don''t worry, we won''t go to the deep part of the lake, we''ll only fish in shallow water," Xander reassured Yera as he assisted her in sitting properly on the dinghy. Yera told him she did not know how to swim when he asked her if she would want to visit a nearby waterfall of which natural pool they could swim in yesterday. As selfish as it might sound, but he was actually grateful that Yera had not experienced a lot of outdoor recreational activities, such as riding a bike, learning how to swim, and a lot more. Because of this, he would have more opportunity to spend time with her and bring their emotional bond to a higher level. Just the words'' higher level'' brought great euphoria to Xander, and it made him grin. "Do you need help?" Yera asked when she saw Xander grab a set of oars, getting ready to row their boat. "Do you want to try?" Xander returned the question, to which Yera nodded in response. Xander gave her the set of oars and let her row the boat while he watched her enjoy what she was doing. "Let''s stop here," Xander instructed, so Yera stopped rowing. He readied their fishing rods and crankbaits. Yera creased her forehead and asked, "Aren''t we going to use live worms?" Xander laughed and said, "That''s gross¡­ Nowadays, using artificial lures like this is better. I often use them, and it''s effective. Here, try it." He handed Yera the fishing rod. They were sitting very close to each other face to face as he added, "Bigger fish will be more likely to come toward it because of the shape. Let''s see if you have what they call the beginner''s luck. Maybe you''ll catch a big one." Yera listened to Xander attentively as she looked at the crankbait he used. It was shaped like a smaller fish, so if she were lucky, she would definitely be able to catch a bigger fish. "So, does Xander Yang also feel pressure?" Yera asked out of the blue as they were waiting for a fish to bite the bait. "Of course I do. You know perfectly well that managing a big group is not an easy feat. So, of course, I also feel pressure. Maybe the difference is that I don''t let it affect me that much, so I never feel stressed out or anything. I have an optimistic approach to everything in life¡­" Xander explained before he added, "Fishing is actually a great way to relieve stress¡­ Because you''re surrounded by nature, where you can unplug from all the bustle of your daily routines and just relax and breathe the fresh air... You know being in nature regulates your serotonin levels, right? That''s why I like fishing." "Yeah... I remember now, Bernard mentioned it to me before¡­ That villa of yours, he said it''s a good place to relax, so he wanted to show me that place, and then he¡­" Yera started to choke up. She recalled the accident and how Bernard had protected her with his body, and she could not finish the sentence. "I''m sorry," were the only words Xander could utter. Yera managed to gather herself by controlling her breathing. She let out another long sigh before she smiled and said, "Why are you sorry? It was nobody''s fault. Things were meant to happen... When I''m ready, I would love to see your villa¡­" Yera really wanted to overcome that trauma. She wanted her memories with Bernard to be filled with only good reminiscences and not with the nightmarish scene of that tragic accident. But right now, what happened that day was still so vivid in her mind, and recalling it still brought pain to her heart¡­ Yera''s fishing rod suddenly moved, interrupting the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the couple. "I think I caught one!" Yera shouted as she abruptly stood up, causing the boat to shake. Yera hated two things about herself. One was her awkwardness in curving her lips into a genuine smile, and the other one was her poor balance that made her accident-prone. And at this moment, she was about to fall because of her poor balance. Xander quickly grabbed her, but he was a bit too late, causing them both to fall off the boat. Yera panicked at the thought that she would drown. She kept on flapping her hands and legs as she tried to float her body. Xander did not know whether to laugh or cry at the remarkable sight before him. "Shh, calm down, Darling, it''s okay," he whispered as he tried to soothe Yera by holding her, to which Yera responded by clinging onto his neck tightly. "Try standing up, the water is shallow..." Xander whispered hoarsely as he held Yera closer to him by hugging her waist firmly. Yera stop moving and carefully put her feet onto the ground, and she was shocked to find out that the water only reached above her chest. She looked at Xander in embarrassment and gave him a sheepish smile, which made Xander no longer able to contain his laughter. He burst into a roar of laughter. Seeing Xander laughing hard at her silliness made Yera laugh too. She laughed so heartily and almost cried from it. Xander paused and stared at her. Her loose wet hair covered her beautiful face, so Xander gently pushed those loose hair aside while his eyes went down to Yera''s slightly opened mouth. And without a second thought, Xander lowered his head to capture those enticing lips of hers... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 54 - Thank You Yera felt Xander''s lips on hers¡­ Everything happened so fast, and Yera unconsciously answered Xander''s searching lips. The kiss was very intense that she felt her body tensed from all the butterflies that were running amok inside her stomach. A part of her was urging her to meet the fervent longing of Xander''s succulent and soft lips so she let herself get lost in the fiery sensations that Xander was giving her. Yera heard a sound of another rowing boat approaching, which interrupted the heated intertwining of their tongues. She hated to put an end to this delightful situation, but chaos had started to engulf her, and she gently broke away from the kiss and Xander''s embrace. She suddenly felt the crisp in the air as soon as she pulled away from Xander''s warmth. "I''m cold¡­" She murmured as she hugged herself to resist it. Xander, who was also snapped back to reality, cursed himself for being careless. Instead of helping her out of the cold water as quickly as possible, he had kissed her. Xander promptly helped her back onto the boat. He rowed the boat as fast as he could to go back to the lakeside. His eyes never left Yera, who slightly shivered from the cold breeze. He cursed himself again for not bringing anything to cover Yera with, just in case this kind of thing happened. But on the other hand, great satisfaction glowed inside him because he was sure Yera reciprocated his kiss with the same level of intensity. And the most important thing was, she was totally sober! His heart leaped for joy, and he tried his best to keep himself from shouting or jumping out of his seat. ¡­. Xander and Yera returned to their cabin, both drenched and chilled. Yera directly headed toward the hot tub, and Xander contemplated if he should follow her or not. He gulped when he saw Yera remove all of her clothes like it was nothing. "What a tease," He complained. He only saw Yera''s back for a few seconds before she quickly dipped herself into the tub, but it was enough for his eyes to feast on her curved waist and rounded buttocks. "Did she trust me that much?" Xander growled before he removed his own clothes, leaving only his underwear, and followed Yera into the hot tub. Yera dipped her whole body in the hot tub because she felt cold. She did not care anymore about being naked in front of Xander. All she cared about was to assuage her discomfort from the cold as quickly as possible. Moreover, she also wanted to hide the reddening of her face from the kiss that they shared. She was well aware that she had kissed him back, and it made her so shy that she didn''t know how to face him. She even walked ahead of him from the lake up to their cabin just to avoid him. She felt Xander''s presence inside the hot tub, and she frowned. ''Geez, Did he have to follow me here?'' She complained inwardly. She abruptly submerged her body even more inside the hot tub, leaving only her head above the water. "Are you still cold?" Xander asked, and Yera could see the concern in her eyes. She quickly shook her head and avoided his eyes. "The hot tub helps..." She answered simply. She only hoped Xander would not mention anything about the kiss. Inside, she was chanting hard because she did not want to talk about it. "Please don''t make him ask. Please don''t make him ask..." Xander seemed to be able to read Yera''s mind as he murmured to reassure her, "Just relax your body. Don''t think about anything else¡­" He couldn''t help but pull Yera to his embrace because she looked so fragile and confused. He knew he would only be torturing himself by doing this, but he just wanted to comfort her. ''Hang in there, Little Buddy... Don''t misbehave now...'' He warned his friend down there before he pulled her closer to him and hugged her. There it was again, that feeling¡­ Yera could feel her stomach churn and her heart went- *thump¡­ thump¡­ thump¡­* The abnormal beating of her heart scared her. She felt Xander''s tight arms around her waist while his hand was gently stroking her hair on the back. She could feel her bare bosoms pressing against his bare chest, and to her surprise, it felt nice. She could feel something started to ignite inside her, but mostly, it was his warmth that comforted her. Then he heard Xander release a sigh before he said, "I know that you possibly have some mixed emotions right now, and I understand that... I''m not demanding anything from you, but there''s just one thing that I hope. I really hope that you would be less guarded when you''re with me. Just be yourself, follow your feelings, do whatever you feel like without hesitating. And don''t worry about me, because I will try my best not to give too much meaning to it. I like you, but that doesn''t mean you have to reciprocate my feelings¡­ Just do the things you feel like doing, say the things you feel like saying, and don''t be afraid to do it because you''re afraid to hurt my feelings." Of course, Yera clearly understood what Xander meant. It was not the first time he had openly declared his feelings for her, and she was grateful because, above all else, Xander always respected her. "Thank you." Those two words were the only thing Yera could say as she let herself be covered with Xander''s warm embrace. Xander smiled as he was satisfied with their current progress. Yera was slowly opening up to him. A quiet contentment tiptoed into his heart. But... It seemed like contentment was not the only thing that had warmed him from within. Something else had also seemed to successfully tiptoe into another body part of his. Excitement had slowly crept over his little buddy down there, and it confidently saluted Yera for the softness of her body. ''Oh, crap...'' Xander thought helplessly. He chided his little buddy, ''Didn''t I tell you not to act up?'' But the cheeky friend retorted, ''Dude, shouldn''t you be happy I got excited? That means you''re healthy.'' Xander was trying hard to control himself. On the one hand, he wanted to free himself from the torture by releasing Yera from his embrace, but on the other hand, he did not want to because hugging her soft body and feeling her bare skin on his just felt too good. He was chanting sutras in his mind when he got interrupted by the sudden loud rumbling of Yera''s stomach. Xander pulled away from her immediately and kissed her head as he whispered, "You''re hungry... We''re supposed to grill fresh fish, but let me prepare an easy dish for you. You stay here, I''ll prepare the food very fast." Xander quickly rose up from the hot tub, and Yera gasped as she looked at Xander''s well-built body. She was used to seeing naked bodies, but Xander''s body seemed to create a significant impact on her, and she wondered what it was. Lust? When had it begun? When it came to sexual desire, she thought of herself as a frigid person because she had never felt that kind of yearning when she was with Bernard even though she was sure she loved Bernard. She had never thought she possessed that kind of desire in her body, but she had been proven wrong... She felt it when she and Xander was hugging just before. She then caught a glimpse of Xander''s bulging manhood beneath his underwear, and her face started to flush again. Yera released a confused and frustrated sigh before she turned her gaze away from Xander and submerged herself fully inside the warm water... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

They were able to talk about a lot of things while they enjoyed the various activities the mountain resort had to offer. "By the way, when we are back, I''ll set aside some time to learn self-defense.." Yera announced as they ate their dinner. "Yes, that''s a good idea¡­ Perhaps I should be the one to teach you," Xander suggested. Yera only looked at him with a doubtful expression that made Xander laugh. "What? You don''t trust me? You''ll be surprised to see my fighting skills¡­ I''m good at it. Seriously. So stop giving me that look," Xander assured her. "Alright¡­ If you say so¡­" Yera conceded while shrugging her shoulders, but she didn''t seem convinced, so Xander continued boasting, "Do you want me to show you now?" Yera looked at him with a serious expression as she said, "Stop that and eat. Finish your food." Xander did as he was told and finished his food. If Rui were there, at this very moment, to see how obedient he was to Yera, that man would have bullied him relentlessly. A contented smile curved Xander''s lips at that thought. He did not mind being a henpecked husband as long as it was with Yera. After a hearty dinner, the two decided to play a game. "But board games are boring¡­" Xander complained as he got up to get an empty bottle. "Let''s do truth or dare," he suggested excitedly as he joined Yera on the carpeted floor, while the latter opened a bottle of red wine. "How come you''re no longer against me drinking?" Yera asked as she noticed that Xander no longer complained nor nagged at her when she took the bottle of wine from the wine cooler and told him they would drink it. He was different from just a few nights ago when he was so adamant about not letting her drink. Xander''s face suddenly blushed, and he stammered a bit as he defensively said, "It''s because you did not do anything crazy last time. Uhm, I mean, you were quite... Uhm, controllable¡­" Yera nodded as she proceeded to pour two glasses of wine for them. "You want to play truth or dare? What are we? Teenagers?" Yera commented. Xander laughed and said, "This is more fun than those boring board games. Anyway, I''ll spin the bottle now¡­" Yera laughed and said, "Why use a bottle when it''s just the two of us? We can just change turns in asking. It''s more fair that way¡­" "But it''s more fun like this¡­" Xander insisted as he started spinning the bottle. It stopped and pointed at Yera. "Truth or dare?" Xander asked, and Yera answered, "Truth." "Do you have someone you like right now?" Xander asked straightforwardly. Yera remained mum as she pursed her lips. "If you don''t want to answer, then you''ll have to do the dare," Xander said. "Okay, I''ll do the dare." Yera immediately agreed because she was not ready to answer that question. Xander grinned mischievously and told her, "I want a nose to nose kiss." Yera creased her forehead but immediately leaned towards him to give him a quick nose-to-nose kiss. It lasted only for two seconds that Xander immediately regretted for not specifying a time limit. He should have said he wanted to get one minute of a nose-to-nose kiss. Yera grabbed the bottle and spun it. Again, it pointed at her, so she complained, "See? It landed on me again..." Then she took the bottle and put it away. "I don''t want to use the bottle anymore. It''s your turn now. Truth or dare?" She asked. "Truth," Xander answered. "How old were you when you had your first time?" Yera asked casually. Xander gave her a puzzled look as he asked, "First time of what?" Yera rolled her eyes and straightforwardly said, "Sex," which made Xander''s mouth fall open because he was caught off-guard. "You want to do the dare instead?" Yera asked, smirking. Xander rubbed his neck as he mumbled, "I haven''t done it, okay?" Yera rounded her eyes as she blurted, "What?! Xander Yang, the womanizer has never done it before? Are you pulling my leg now?" Is he saying he was still a virgin at his age and with his playboy reputation? She had a hard time believing that. "Stop judging me. I''m telling you I haven''t done it yet¡­ It may be hard to believe, but I''m the conservative type, and besides, my¡­" He paused. He wanted to come clean to Yera about his disorder, but he decided that it was not the right time. "Anyway, I haven''t done it yet. It''s up to you if you want to believe it or not, but that''s the truth. It''s your turn¡­ Truth or dare?" "Truth," Yera replied. "Who do you think is better, Lyndon or me?" He asked. Yera was hesitant before she answered, "You." Xander smiled from ear to ear as his heart leaped for joy. "Truth or dare?" Yera asked. "Truth," Xander replied. "What is your most embarrassing moment?" Yera asked, and Xander wanted to say, ''When I got a handjob from my crazy drunk wife just a few nights ago.'' But he chose to remain quiet instead. "Alright, punishment time¡­" Yera giggled with excitement as she added, "Hmm, how about you do a funny dance that will make me laugh?" "That''s too easy¡­" Xander proudly stood up and did a monkey dance. Xander could have knocked her down with a feather as it caught Yera by surprise. Her stomach started to ache from laughing, so she pleaded, "Oh, please stop¡­ My stomach hurts¡­ Stop it already..." "Alright, your turn. Truth or dare?" Asked Xander. Yera said, "truth." "Do you like me?" Xander asked with a wink. Yera remained quiet as Xander expected, so he quickly said with a wicked smile, "Alright¡­ Punishment time¡­ You have to french-kiss me for five whole minutes." "Pervert¡­" Yera murmured with pursed lips before she took her phone and set a timer. Yera moved and leaned toward Xander to give him what he requested. Xander was actually just teasing her, so he did not expect that Yera would really do it. Yera''s lips gently touched his, and he could feel her body tensed¡­ He felt her soft lips lightly brushed against his, so he murmured, "This is not a french-kiss¡­" He felt Yera bite his lips, but it surprisingly was not hurt. Instead, it excited him more. Yera suddenly stopped as a part of the memories of what happened that night, when she was drunk, suddenly came back to her. She was rooted to the spot while her lips were still pressing against Xander''s lips. Her eyes widened, and her face reddened. She panicked. ''What was that? What the hell was that? Was that real?!'' She pulled her lips away from Xander''s and immediately stood up¡­ "I''m going to sleep," she murmured before she dashed toward their bedroom. "What happened?" Xander muttered with a stupefied look as his gaze landed on the bedroom, which Yera just ran into. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 56 - Blue Balls Alert Yera kept giving her lower lip a hard bite as she went inside the bathroom to wash her face with cold water. Everything that happened that night flashed back to her like a movie scene that kept replaying in her mind¡­ She shook her head and tried to dismiss it. "Oh, my God!!! Was that for real!? Did I really do that!?" She burst out as she looked at herself in the mirror while pulling her hair out. She was mortified by her crazy behavior that night. "No, it''s probably just a dream," she convinced herself as she looked at her hand. She swallowed hard and cringed in disbelief. This was the hand that gave Xander pleasure... The hand that touched his genitals. "That bastard¡­ No wonder he no longer stops me from drinking!!!" She hissed as mixed emotions filled her heart. She was too embarrassed to even look at Xander. She bit her lip once more¡­ Xander said she did not do anything crazy that night¡­ But holy crap, she did! She was a lunatic when drunk! She cursed at herself. She went out of the bathroom while still cursing at herself, and panicked when she heard the sound of the door. She almost tripped when she sprinted toward the bed. She buried herself under the comforter and quickly closed her eyes. Not long after, she felt Xander join her on the bed. He moved closer toward her and asked, "Are you asleep?" Xander continued when he heard no response from Yera, "Are you mad about the french kiss?" Yera let out a sigh and got up to face Xander after contemplating for a while, which startled him. "No, I''m not mad, okay? Stop asking questions and go to sleep," she said before she lay back down on the bed, with her back facing Xander, whose forehead immediately creased as he mused, ''Is she on period?'' He laid himself down on the bed, too, and moved even closer to Yera. He placed an arm on her waist and hugged her from behind¡­ Yera could only sink her teeth into her lower lip that she felt it would soon be bruised from all the hard bites she had given it in the past fifteen minutes. But she let Xander hugged her because it felt nice, and she was already used to it since he always did it every night. But then, that erotic scene would occasionally flash through her mind, causing her to flinch and cringe. She still could not believe that she was bold enough to give Xander a handjob. It was not the first time that she would remember the things she had done when she was drunk, but it was a rare occasion. Of all the crazy drunken escapades that she had, why did she have to remember that one in particular? Xander shoved away some of her hair from the nape of her neck, so he could bury his face on it. He was sending shivers to her spine by giving her a gentle kiss as he bid her goodnight. "Sleep tight, Darling." Yera tried her best to relax her body, but it was difficult as something had been ignited from within her body. She wanted to turn around and face Xander, but for some reason, something was stopping her. "Goodnight. Let''s sleep¡­ I''m not mad, okay? It''s just that I don''t feel like playing that game anymore. I''m tired." Yera deadpanned. She was not mad at Xander because it was not his fault. It was hers, and therefore, she was annoyed with herself. "Hmm, if you''re not mad, can''t you turn around and sleep while facing me? Or, at least, lie on your back and face the ceiling?" Xander requested. Yera let out a deep sigh and turned around to face Xander, but immediately regretted it. ''Oh, crap!'' Xander looked so smexy with that serious look on his face as he stared into her eyes. Yera''s eyes unknowingly landed on his lips. "But, Darling, it''s unfair¡­ You did not complete the dare. You only kissed me for a few seconds. I believe you still have around four minutes left¡­" Xander complained. Yera seemed to be mesmerized by Xander''s inviting lips, so she muttered, "Alright... I''ll finish the four minutes..." Yera leaned forward and kissed him. In all honesty, she really wanted to finish that kiss. She felt Xander''s tongue slid into her mouth to search for hers. And when he found it, their tongues immediately intertwine themselves in an intense battle. Yera was so engrossed with the kiss that her mind went blank. Xander pushed his tongue deeper inside her mouth when he felt Yera reciprocate his kiss. It emboldened him to direct his hand to touch Yera''s side curves, caressing them before his hand gently slid underneath her blouse. Yera never slept with her bra on, and it had always been a torture for him whenever she would move in her sleep, causing her soft breasts to brush against his chest or his arm. Finally, he would be able to touch the bosoms that he had been dying to feel¡­ And so he did. He caught one in his palm and grinned inwardly as he explored its roundness and softness¡­ His lips had never once left hers, while his hand was teasing one of her proud peaks, caressing it and squeezing it. He knew that if he did not stop now, he would soon lose his self-control and would not be able to stop himself from taking Yera right then and there. And he did not want that¡­ He craved her heart first before her body because he yearned to have nothing less than the whole of her, all of Yera. But before he could stop, Yera had already broken off their kiss and gently removed his hand from her breast. She was gasping for air as she whispered, "Okay, that was four minutes. A bit more, even. It''s supposed to be french-kissing only. Who told you to touch my breast? I''m going to sleep now." Yera then turned around to face the opposite direction, having her back facing Xander, who was left dumbfounded at how fast it was for his wife to turn cold from being hot¡­ ''Blue balls alert!'' Shouted his little buddy. Xander moved closer to hug her from behind as he said, "You''re such a fox. Goodnight, darling." Then he closed his eyes, trying to meditate to calm down his desire as he drowned himself in Yera''s scent, hoping he would be able to sleep soon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: OR Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 57 - Hypnotized* The rays of the sun radiated through the glass window, brightening the room where Xander and Yera slept with warm and natural glow. This was the first time both of them had woken up late since none of them had managed to fall asleep straight away last night from trying their best to control their desires for each other. They ended up sleeping facing each other, while their legs and arms are intertwined into a tangle position. Xander was the one who first opened his eyes. He smiled upon seeing Yera''s beautiful face, which was only inches away from him. He did not even dare breathe or move, afraid that he would put an end to their current intimate sleeping position. ''It feels nice,'' he rejoiced as he savored the pleasant feeling that he was having at that moment. He was only controlling himself for one reason; he wanted to have Yera''s heart first, and he knew her body would follow. He had set his mind and body to only take her when she was ready and willing to give all of her to him. He praised himself for being patient, for who would have thought the one and only Xander Yang could be this patient for a woman? Rui was right; his feelings for Yera had escalated to more than just a sense of fondness. Xander saw Yera''s eyelids flinch, so he immediately closed his eyes to pretend that he was still asleep. Yera opened her eyes and was shocked to see how she had managed to entwine herself around Xander. She pursed her lips and stared at Xander quietly. There was a debate going on between her mind and her body at that moment. She was not too sure of it herself, but her body did not seem to want to break free from its entanglement with Xander''s body, while her mind was urging her to move away from the bed immediately. She released a conflicted sigh while still staring at Xander''s handsome face. She could feel that she was changing every time she was with Xander. She hated to admit it, but the contrast was remarkably noticeable. She was becoming more and more attached to him, not only physically, but also emotionally. But then again, how could she not? Xander was treating her so well that she would often think she had gone insane from losing Bernard, and Xander was just an imaginary man that she conjured up in her mind as a form of coping mechanism. ''Even now, it feels like a dream. Are you real?'' She mused as she trailed her fingers across Xander''s lips. Xander opened his eyes the moment he felt her touch on his lips, and their gazes locked. It was said that one could see everything by merely looking at another''s eyes¡­ And at this very moment, Xander could see desire in Yera''s eyes. Yera held her breath as she felt Xander''s bright hazel eyes probing deep into her soul. She felt hypnotized by some kind of magnetic power as she moved closer and closer to Xander and swiftly pressed her lips on his for a quick and gentle kiss. But Xander was having none of it. He was not about to let the moment pass as he pulled Yera back in for an aggressive kiss. "Do you really think I will just let you off like that?" He murmured as he began to suck Yera''s lips¡­ Nibbling on them, before he started to mobilize his tongue inside her mouth, making Yera naturally release a series of soft moans. Yera realized the effect that Xander seemed to have on her. She kept being drawn to him without her even actively knowing. Being cuddled and kissed by him like this gave her a heavenly feeling. It felt so good that she could no longer tell if it was a dream. Xander rolled on top of her, without leaving her lips unattended for just one second. He continued to kiss her possessively, while his hand raised her shirt up, exposing her body, and started to roam freely on her bare curves. Yera could only close her eyes and surrender as she felt every part of her body is on fire from Xander''s touch. "Hmmm, you feel good, Darling," Xander said in a hoarse voice, as his lips trailed Yera''s jawline and his hand still caressing her breasts. Yera was so lost in rapture that the only thing that she could do was moan in response. "Ohhh¡­''" Yera moaned even harder when she felt Xander''s wet and warm tongue replace his hand on her breasts. She arched her upper body to welcome more of his sweet assault on her peaks while her hands were buried in his hair. He continued his tease by encircling his tongue on her nipples, which made her body shiver desperately from the sweet sensation that engulfed her. "They look lovely," Xander praised her rosy pink buds that he was licking and sucking. They both looked hard and ripe, which only indicated one thing¡­ She was turned on by his teasing. So, he continued to give both of her breasts equal attention by employing his mouth and tongue on one peak, and his hand and fingers on the other. "Ohhh¡­" Yera almost cried from the intense pleasure that she felt as Xander kept playing with her nipples. Never had she imagined that something like this could make a person lose their sanity. She knew she would definitely lose hers at any moment now, as she started to feel the effect of their intimacy down in between her thighs. She was a doctor, so she understood perfectly well what her body was going through right now. She was already so wet down there. Xander seemed to have read her mind because she felt his hand slid beneath her pajama pants, and further inside her panties. Xander wanted to feel her lady parts. He could see how aroused Yera was, so he was curious to know if she was already wet down there¡­ He knew he would soon go crazy as his little buddy was already screaming for release and had started to drip. He would not even be surprised if he ended up ejaculating prematurely, just by letting his little buddy brush against her wetness while he was kissing her. Funny, but he believed that at this point, he would not even have to penetrate her to reach his climax¡­ "You are already wet, Darling," he murmured as his fingers caressed her lady parts. His words seemed to snap Yera back to reality. Her eyes widened as she blurted, "No!" Xander stopped caressing her sweet folds, but he quickly crawled up to seal her lips with his in another passionate kiss. "Alright¡­. I''ll stop now¡­ But could you help me a bit, Darling? Just keep on kissing me back while I move on top of you, okay? Please?" He requested. Yera understood what Xander was asking. She could feel his erection, and she knew it would be torturous for him if he did not get his release. So, Yera complied, and proceeded to wrap her arms around his neck and kissed him fervently. She even parted her legs for him with her pajama pants still on. Xander supported himself with his elbows on the bed and moved his lower body, rubbing and brushing his arousal against her covered lady parts as they continued to kiss. Even with some barriers in between, he could still feel her wetness. After just a few seconds, she heard him let out a loud growl. "Ahhhh!!!" His body collapsed onto hers, and he was shaking on top of her. He was panting hard and tried to gather himself as he kissed her forehead and whispered, "Thank you, Darling¡­" Then he gave her a sexy smile that mesmerized Yera once more, as he added, "By the way, good morning," before he buried his face on her neck. "Are you done?" Yera asked, wanting to make sure that he already had his release. "Yes¡­ I told you I''ve been celibate for the longest time. So... Uhm, it''s easy to make me come like this..." Xander explained, too embarrassed to admit how sexually inexperienced he was. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Yera gradually felt at ease with Xander, who was as bubbly as always and would shamelessly do the things he wanted to do, although there were times when the intimate scenes between the two of them would flash through her mind and made her feel shy. Her cheeks would flush out of nowhere as those scenes replayed in her head. "Do you want to try that?" Xander asked as he pointed his finger up to a zipline ride. Yera felt Xander touch her chin so she would look at him as he said, "Are you perhaps scared of trying it, Darling?" She shook her head, so Xander clasped her hand with his and led her toward the entrance of the ride. "Make sure you take a lot of nice photos, okay? Give me a lot of shots, the more, the better," Xander instructed the zipline attendant. Due to its intimate position, Xander chose to do tandem traversing, in which he and Yera would zip in one single harness together, instead of two separate ones, while facing each other. "Here, make sure to hug me well¡­" Xander instructed her as he guided her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Seeing Xander''s mischievous smile, Yera could already guess what Xander was planning, but she could care less because all she wanted was to try ziplining. She was nervous, so she held on tightly to Xander because, for some reason, sticking onto him like that took her nervousness away. "Here we go," Xander whispered as he tightened his grasp on Yera when the operator gave the signal for them to be released. Yera closed her eyes as she felt the cold air brushing against her face while her body floated high in the air. "Open your eyes, Darling¡­ The view is great," Xander encouraged her, so she did as she was told. Xander was right, the sight was spectacular. "We should strike a lot of pose for the photos¡­" Xander said, grinning as he sneaked a kiss on Yera''s lips. Yera scrunched her face, which made Xander laugh as he enjoyed her mixed expression¡­ She was annoyed, nervous, but also thrilled at the same time, and she screamed as they zipped quicker on a downward slope. Yera could feel a mix of excitement and anxiety all over her body as they continued ziplining. They feasted their eyes on the sweeping views of the lush forests beneath. All throughout the ride, Xander kept stealing a kiss on her lips, cheeks, and even nose, that Yera had lost count of how many times it was. She swore that Xander was the most shameless person she ever met in her life. After the ride, Xander excitedly checked their pictures that were snapped by the zipline operator and bought all the copies. "Let me see them," Yera said, but Xander kept the envelope and said, "Let''s look at them later." Yera suddenly remembered Xander''s promise to teach her how to swim and decided to ask him to do it during this trip. She was determined to make the most of their vacation because she knew that once she joined the Life Hospitals group, she wouldn''t have time to do this kind of thing anymore. "Alright, let''s go back to the cabin, then? You promised to teach me how to swim," Yera reminded him. "Okay, Darling¡­ Let''s have lunch first, and I''ll teach you how to swim after that¡­" Xander complied as he walked hand in hand with Yera. Back in their cabin, Xander was laughing at some of the pictures, in which Yera was screaming. Yera was in the middle of cooking, and Xander kept teasing her with those pictures. "Do you want me to put some poison in your food right now?" Yera hissed. Xander walked toward her and hugged her from behind. "Okay, I''ll stop. I''ll just hug you like this instead. Hmm, that smells good¡­" He praised as he nuzzled Yera''s neck. He rejoiced inwardly because he succeeded in being touchy-feely with Yera quite frequently nowadays. Yes, he was doing it on purpose to make Yera get used to him more, and he had no plans on stopping. "Maybe I should change your name on my phone into ''The Shameless One'' instead," Yera said, to distract herself. Xander chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Hmm, if trying to get your attention means I''m shameless, and not just a bully, as you said before, then I don''t mind¡­ As long as I can hold you like this, and have all of you, then you can call me shameless all you want¡­" Yera heaved a long sigh before murmuring, "Really really shameless." She could only utter those words to shield herself emotionally because her body had already betrayed her. She knew she could no longer control her own body because that shield had long broken. So there was no use to deny her physical attraction to Xander any longer. Even being hugged from behind by him like this felt good¡­ But for some reason, she didn''t think she deserved this kind of feeling. It felt like she was betraying Bernard... It had not been long since he passed on, so how could she already be attracted to another man? Wasn''t it too early to entertain things like this? She was really at that state, where she was totally confused with the various emotions she was having. She needed some more time to sort out her feelings because they overwhelmed her. Was she a coward? Yes, maybe she was¡­ But how could she not be one when she had lost someone that she loved? When Bernard left, her whole world crumbled. The pain was immense that many times after that, she was not even sure if she would be able to live on. How could she forget that kind of agony? Therefore, right now, she was still shielding herself emotionally. She had to deprive herself of emotions that could make her weak. Especially when she had a battle ahead, which she had to overcome. She could not allow herself any weaknesses that would hinder her from winning. "What are you thinking about, Darling?" Xander murmured as he noticed that Yera was deep in thought. "Nothing¡­ I''m just thinking about how to protect myself emotionally because my physical shield is already broken from the tremendous amount of shamelessness that you have," Yera answered truthfully. Xander knew Yera was a straightforward person, so he was no longer shocked by her words. Instead, he kissed her neck and shamelessly declared, "Hmm¡­ Yes, I''ve obviously broken your physical shield. But your emotional shield is still my top priority, so I guess I should work harder to break it." Xander understood Yera very well because Rui had already explained to him about the complexity of her emotional struggle. Just by talking to Yera occasionally, Rui could already tell that she had experienced a lot of tragic things in her life that had caused her to wall herself up emotionally. It was her defense mechanism. So Xander smiled before he added, "Don''t worry, Darling, your husband has a generous amount of patience. Especially now that I''ve fallen in love with you, Yera¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 59 - Jinx Yera looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a bikini because Xander would teach her how to swim in their indoor pool. She never cared about her appearance before but now she was feeling conscious. She let out a long deep breath and murmured relentlessly, "Tsk¡­ Why did he have to say it¡­" Xander''s words kept on repeating in her head, ''I''m in love with you.'' He confessed a while ago saying he was already in love with her and she didn''t respond¡­ More on she remained silent¡­ Why? Simply because she did not know what to say¡­ Thankfully Xander suddenly changed the topic by asking what was she was cooking. "Is it even possible?" She muttered as she grabbed her towel. She knew Xander for almost a couple of months only, since that day Bernard died. But then she realized that she and Bernard fell in love with each other in a really quick span of time so it was possible. ''What do you feel?'' her inner self asked her. And yet she still could not answer. She was happy because Xander loved her, who would not be? Xander was a good man but she was not ready for a commitment at that point. After looking at her reflection once more, she went out to walk at the pool where Xander was already waiting. As expected, he greeted her with that charming smile of his followed by a wave of his hand as he said, "Let''s start, the water is nice, very warm and relaxing." Xander waited for her to go down at the stairs of the pool so Yera walked towards him and grabbed the hand he offered. "Hmm so basically you have to first learn how to float your body on the water. Get comfortable with water¡­ Hmm like how you are getting comfortable with me. It''s not that hard right? Very much easy I believe..." explained Xander with a wink as he led her toward the shallow end where water could reach Yera''s shoulder. Yera shook her head because obviously she might receive a lot of teasing, knowing how Xander''s personality were. Well he was right though that it was not hard to get comfortable with Xander. She was indeed very much comfortable with him now. "Hmm put your face in the water and blow bubbles. Stand back up and breath normally¡­ just like that, practice until you feel comfortable¡­ That''s right," Xander instructed and cheered Yera at the same time as the latter followed his instructions. "How come you never learn to swim before?" Xander asked. "I''m not fond of swimming pools before. Besides, grandpa is busy¡­ I have trust issues when I was a kid. I don''t know why but I often get into incidents before more of like I''m prone to accidents so I never become active in any outdoor or indoor sports." Yera answered simply. Xander''s brows knitted as he asked, "What kind of accidents?" "Hmm, like when I was a kid and go for a camp¡­ I was lost and gone for a day." Yera explained as she remembered how she was gone for one whole night searching the wood on her own. Her uncle said he lost her¡­ Well, she did not clearly remember what happened since she was only six by then." Yera narrated. Xander asked almost all incidents Yera could remember so she told him everything including the various accidents like when she tried doing wall climbing and her rope got loose for some reasons. She was almost caught up in a fire when she was locked inside the school room. There were more incidents and she told Xander about things she remembered. "I told you¡­ I was like hmm someone with bad luck, a jinx. I also think that I bring that bad luck to people near me¡­" she murmured with a low voice because it was true¡­ Her parents died in a plane crash, Chief Doctor Song died, her grandfather died and then Bernard too¡­ It seemed to her that people she loved and cared for, always met an unfortunate luck. Xander was in deep thought and was interrupted when Yera said, "I''m ready, let''s go deeper¡­" He looked at her and replied, "Oh okay¡­ hold onto me¡­ Let''s move in the deeper part then. You must learn how to float next." Yera did as Xander asked and encircled her arms to his neck. To her surprise, Xander gave her a peck kiss on the lips as he said, "You are not a jinx darling. Don''t think like that. Oh well, I''m the man with the best of luck so you just need to stay with me, that''s the best solution..." Then Xander pulled her closer for a passionate kiss as he murmured, "Nothing comes free nowadays¡­ Kisses is a prepayment darling both for the lesson and luck so don''t collide those eyebrows." He was grinning wide that Yera wanted to smack his head but he was too handsome to get smack so she just ignored his teasing and focussed into learning. After a few seconds, Yera could finally float and she was astonished. She smiled unconsciously as she maintains herself to float on the water without her grabbing Xander''s hands. "Hmmm this is not good¡­ You learn so fast. How can I charge you bigtime." Xander snorted, seeing how easy Yera adjusted. He grabbed the kickboard Yera could use for a lap in swimming. Xander watched Yera in awe. She did the lap using the kickboard and in just a few more tries, she bravely did a lap without the kickboard. Xander stayed near her and followed her as she moved. "Wow you really learn fast I hope you learn to love me real fast too¡­" he unconsciously mumbled and Yera heard it. Her concentration broke disorienting her swimming, causing her to lose control. She panicked as she tried to float hard. Xander was fast and caught her. Yera tightly clung onto her. "Shh, why are you panicking, I''m just beside you. I will never leave your side." He whispered as he calmed Yera who looked at him with crumpled face as she complained, "You really talk too much for a man¡­" Xander laughed and gave her another peck and this time it was on her nose as he countered, "and you darling¡­ talk less for a woman¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

''Today would be the last day.'' Yera mused a bit disappointment because every day spent in that mountain was truly enjoyable and relaxing. She sat comfortably on a chair and table at their balcony while she looked at the beautiful blue sky. The warm breeze gently touched her calm and exquisite face. Xander saw she was in deep thought while she held a cup of coffee in her hand and sip it. He could read her expression well so he remarked, "We can stay for more days if you want." Yera nodded as she bit the sandwich Xander prepared for breakfast. The place was truly remarkable. Having a simple breakfast like that while looking at the magnificent nature before her was something she would want to experience often but she needed to start executing her plan soon... "We stayed long enough. We have to go back¡­" she answered plainly. Xander no longer pursued the matter of staying because he knew that Yera still had a lot of important things to attend to. "What do you want to do next?" Xander asked with his smashing smile. Yera doubted if she would ever meet a man as energetic as Xander. He was always fully charged. "Let''s do walking along local sights and hot air ballooning¡­" she said and Xander agreed. ... Xander and Yera strolled around hand-in-hand as they enjoyed the local sights and went to the stores to buy various souvenirs. It gave them another quality time together where they chat on various things as the walked. Xander also took a lot of photos of them together and even bothering other tourist to help get their whole body camera shot on good spots with beautiful scenery. There were also countless dining options so they ate lunch at a restaurant with great mountain view. Xander suddenly suggested, "Do you want to drink? I''ll order some good ones¡­" "NO!" Yera burst out with rounded eyes as if she was too mortified. "Huh? I thought you like drinking¡­ While I''m letting you¡­ you should take the opportunity, It''s very rare for me to offer like this especially knowing you can go crazy afterwards" said Xander smiling. ''The heck! You can even grin? Are you happy that I turn crazy and do all things on you?'' Yera wanted to voice out but she controlled herself. She would never tell Xander that she remembered what she did. That was too embarrassing¡­ Even the words she said were too crazy, phallectomy? But what she did was to rub and tug¡­ Yera abruptly shook her head while her face twisted¡­ Who knew what else she would do next when drunk, surely more embarrassing things... "Just a glass?" Xander asked casually, but she could sense a teasing tone in his voice. "NO¡­ Stop it. I said I won''t drink okay." Yera firmly refused. ''That''s weird¡­'' Xander mused suspiciously. He could not believe how Yera was avoiding a drink because his dear wife loved to drink so it was a bit off for her to refuse unless¡­''Unless¡­ Wait¡­She remembered?'' Xander asked inwardly. Because he could not dare ask Yera so he no longer pursue the matter. He noticed Yera''s cheeks were blushing that heightened his suspicion. He smiled and teasingly stated, "Alright no more drinks for you. But don''t you believe me when I said you did not do crazy things. It''s not a crazy thing okay?" "Stop and finish your food!" Yera suddenly said with her firmed and deep tone. Xander cowered as he continued to eat. ¡­ The couple decided to stroll more and decided to take the rides on hot air balloon at sunset. The air was clearer and cooler as they took a private balloon with a pilot on board. Yera gasped, she could feel the excitement rushed all over her as the balloon propelled by heated air rose and hovered. It was a rolling hills and green landscapes. The rainforests and surrounding mountains were spectacular. The very breathtaking landscape would leave you speechless while you just enjoyed every view. It was exceptionally peaceful experience and the bird''s eye-view of the scene below was superb. Yera felt Xander hugged her from behind, locking her waist with his firm and warm arms. Yera felt him rested his chin on her shoulder causing Yera to move her head a bit sidewards to accommodate Xander. "Thanks, darling¡­" Xander whispered in her ear. He was almost kissing her ear because she could feel his lips and hot breath. Yera unconsciously raised and crossed her arms to feel Xander''s arms embracing her. "Yesterday, I said I''m falling in love with you¡­ I think that it''s not the right word¡­" Xander murmured. Yera felt Xander turned her around. He held her closer, his eyes did not blink and looked at her eyes intently. Those eyes of him was penetrating deep inside Yera''s soul. He cupped her face as he said in his clear and deep tone, "Yera Han¡­ I love you¡­" Yera opened her mouth to say something but no words came out¡­ "I¡­ ahm.." she was struggling for words and she saw Xander smiled at her with full of sympathy, understanding and reassurance as he repeated, "I love you and I told you¡­ I''m a generous man when it comes to patience so if it''s hard for you to answer now then don''t push yourself¡­ Take your time¡­ I''ll be always waiting¡­" Then Xander leaned forward to sealed her opened mouth instead for a breathtaking kiss¡­ The pilot on board sighed silently¡­ For a single man like him, his work who often witness romantic scenes like this was a torture¡­ a terror... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Since they were staying in a private suite room like before, Xander spared most moments in cuddling and smooching his wife. "Aren''t you tired at all?" Yera complained as she tried to straighten her back and sit on the couch properly, out from Xander''s embrace. She couldn''t focus on the movie they were watching on the wide screen during their flight. ''Am I being too much?'' Xander suddenly asked himself. He was more aggressive because Yera was not complaining. However, it seemed that he was doing things a bit excessive to the point that he was totally at a hard rock state beneath his pants. But he could not help it, being touchy with Yera was addicting that he felt he could not get enough of her. He knew that he was only giving his body pure torture but then it was bearable as long as he could smooch his wife all he want. "Am I too much?" voiced out Xander who did not let Yera get out from his embrace. "Yeah¡­ you are too much. Are you asking for sexual frustration?" Yera stated the matter frankly. Xander gulped because Yera did make sense however instead of stopping he suddenly grabbed Yera like a toddler and sat her on his lap. "Hey!" Yera hissed in shock, confused at Xander''s action who was looking so roguishly amused at her reaction. "What are you doing?" Yera asked when she felt Xander''s hands securely holding her sides. Xander winked and with a husky voice said, "the movie is boring and I think what I''m doing is not really much. I feel like doing more to be honest." As soon as he said his last word, Xander pulled Yera''s nape so he could kiss her passionately. Yera was having blueberry cheesecake as they watched the movie so he could taste it in her mouth, adding more sweetness from her natural taste. "Hmm, it''s tasty that cake. I wanna taste more," Xander murmured as he licked Yera''s lips before he slid his tongue inside. Yera quivered as his tongue probed deeper inside her mouth, encouraging and demanding. ''Oh crap!'' Yera mused as her arms moved on its own and coiled Xander''s neck. Her body matched his intensity and she could no longer control it with her mind. Where she came to the point of considering to give in¡­ Maybe it was already time that she should surrender. Besides, they were legally married so surrendering her body to her husband who confessed his love at her would not be that bad. And not to add that Xander was helping her a lot. She felt Xander unzipped the back of her dress while he was feasting on her luscious lips. Then he sensually ran his fingers on Yera''s satiny skin to remove the dress downwards from her shoulders, letting the soft fabric to fall up to her waist, leaving only her bra behind. Xander''s hand did not stop there as it unhooked her bra and took it off. Yera''s half body was totally naked now. Her head tilted up when Xander''s lips traced the hem of her jawline down her neck, where he took his time to suck and bite. "Don''t leave me a mark there," Yera mumbled, almost a whisper as she bit her lip trying hard to suppress her moaning when Xander touched her bosoms. He gently squeezed and encircled her rosy pink bud with his teasing finger. Xander, encouraged by Yera''s arching back, bent further down so his tongue could tease those protruding pink buds. "Uhmm¡­" Yera''s soft moans escaped her mouth with her eyes closed as Xander licked and encircled one of her buds before he gently sucked on it while his hand never left the other side unattended by caressing and teasing it. Xander was wearing a slack pants so she could feel his bulging. She moved unconsciously, brushing her region on his that caused Xander to growl and curse at the same time. Yera opened her eyes and looked directly at Xander''s eyes that was now staring at her. Both eyes were filled and clouded with so much desire and yearning for each other. Yera bit her lower lip as her facial muscles flinched. She cupped Xander''s face as she opened her mouth and bashfully uttered, "If you want, we can do it¡­ Uhm I mean you can have me." "Huh?" Xander whispered, mouth agape. He could not believe what his ears just heard. Yera, his darling wife, was surrendering herself to him. Should he just attack her? Because he would love to take her at that moment. However, he asked, "Why?" "Because I want you to¡­ It''s your right? I''m your wife? We are married?" Yera answered with a question mark. It was as if a cold glass of water abruptly splashed Xander''s face. It was not the answer he was waiting for. He was waiting for something more to add at ''I want you to¡­'' He wanted to hear the three magical words but it never came. "There''s no need to rush. I will take you once you''re ready not just physically¡­" Xander said with a downcast tone that made Yera uneasy. She felt guilty for some reason. She did not know what to say to console him so instead of saying any words, she leaned forward and kissed him. She could feel him still hard as a rock beneath her so she initiated to move on top of him that made Xander moaned. "Stop it Yera¡­ I won''t do it¡­" he firmly whispered. "We won''t¡­ But you need your release. Do you think you can by me just moving on top of you like last time or do you want me to do more?" Yera offered. It was the least she could do for him. Yera pulled from the kiss and looked at Xander who seemed to cut his tongue out. She adjusted herself and unbuckled his pants¡­ Xander was still, totally frozen like a statue as he watched Yera pulling down his lower clothes. His little buddy was greeting her proudly full of enthusiasm and anticipation. He held his breath when he saw Yera''s eyebrows collided. Yera looked at Xander''s member as she contemplated whether she would hold only like before or do more? Xander gulped and remained speechless as he waited for what his darling wife would do at him... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

A part of her wanted to serve him well, to satisfy and give him pleasure the he deserved. She looked straight at Xander and murmured, "I''ll take care of it¡­ Lie down." She held Xander''s shoulders and guided him to lay his body down the couch. "You don''t have to¡­" Xander suddenly muttered in his hoarse voice. He honestly felt though that Yera moving and brushing her region on him was enough already like before. It was the first time, his shamelessness disappeared. But he ended up following Yera''s guide in resting his back at the armrest of the couch. ''Hypocrite!'' his little buddy reacted harshly and Xander could only pursed his lips for being guilty because deep inside he was anticipating what Yera would do to him. Excitement built up inside his body when Yera positioned herself on top of him. She bent down to give him a voluptuous kiss, where she sucked and pulled his upper and lower lips alternately while her eyes never left his. Yera intentionally locked her eyes on Xander because she wanted to see if what she was doing was pleasurable to Xander. Her hand gently hold his hard member as she gently caress it like she was molding a big pole. "Hmmm," Xander moaned and Yera could see his pupils dilated. She continued to shower him with kisses downwards. She did the same with his chest where she licked his proud nipples alternately followed by sucking it in her mouth. Her hand was wet because Xander''s member was dripping from arousement. She did not expect her body to get aroused along the process because she could feel her own wetness in her panties at the same time. She moved further down with her teasing tongue that would lick and kiss his upper body while her eyes looked at Xander whose hands were now on her hair. She kissed his leaned stomach before moving further down. "Darling¡­ It felt good," Xander whispered with a hoarse voice as he stared at Yera. He was leaning half of his body at the armrest of the couch while he held Yera''s long hair with his so he could fully stare at her beautiful face while she showered him with kisses. "Ohhh¡­" he groaned as soon as he felt Yera''s tugging on his little buddy while the tip of her tongue touched its tip, sending waves of electricity all over his body. "Tell me if I''m doing everything right." whispered Yera after she paused and looked at him. Xander unconsciously nodded like a meek puppy. Hell yeah¡­ Everything Yera was doing was more than alright. Yera looked at Xander''s hard member and licked it''s back from the bottom up to its tip. "Oh darling¡­ You are killing me.." Xander whimpered as he could feel the shuddering of his own body because of tremendous sensation his wife''s tongue was doing with his little buddy. Yera did more of licking and Xander cursed. "Darling¡­ That''s so good¡­" another words accompanied with moans escaped his mouth when Yera covered the tip of his hard member with her mouth while her tongue inside continued to caress it. He could not help but gently guide her with his hand on her hair as Yera moved up and down. She was giving him a blow job and Xander would soon reach his climax just by having Yera''s mouth doing wonders to his little buddy while she combined rubbing and tugging half of his member downwards because he was too big for her to swallow wholly. "Ohhhh¡­ darling¡­ I love you¡­" he mumbled repeatedly as he felt Yera''s mouth covered his hard on up and down with an accelerated speed. He would explode soon as his member grew bigger in her mouth. He unconsciously thrust inside her mouth and screamed "Ahhhhh¡­" His body jolted as he spilled all his juices inside Yera''s mouth. He was about to pull out but Yera sucked him hard. His eyes widened when he felt her sucked and licked it all as her eyes never left his. Yera did not know why but she took it all in, Xander''s juices not bothering with the bleach like smell as Xander stared at her in bewilderment. ''It did not taste that bad,'' she mused unconsciously. Xander cursed because his hardness would not stop easily if she continued doing it. His little buddy would not calm at all. He saw Yera gulped and licked her lips while she wiped its corner. Then she creased her forehead, seeing Xander''s member was still standing up. "I think you did not have enough release?" she asked naively. Xander moved his body up and kissed her abruptly. He could taste himself on her mouth but he did not care. He was consumed with hunger as he moved and place himself on top of Yera. "Yeah¡­ I need to move on top of you darling¡­" he whispered before kissing and sucking one of her nipples like he was feeding on them. Yera understood so she parted her legs to accept him. She was willing to give her womanhood to Xander. She thought he would take her but Xander did not take off her panties and only brushed his hardness on her while he kissed her. He moved like he was thrusting inside of her but on the outside. Yera bit her lip and met Xander''s gaze. She could sense that he would reach another climax based on his facial expression. He was caressing her bosoms alternately when he sped his movements and finally screamed, "Ahhhh¡­" Yera could feel his liquids sticking cold on her abdomen. Xander collapsed on top of her with his head buried in her chest. He hugged her tightly. Yera did same and hugged him back. They were both sticky but none either broke from the embrace. Then she heard Xander whispered, "I love you, darling." Instead of answering, Yera tightened her hug and kissed his head as she gently stroke his hair. Xander smiled¡­ He felt comforted and contented. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He reached the highest peak of the mountain several times because of his wife''s consideration and it left him in great awe. Yera, on the other hand, was quiet as she tried her best to stay casual though her cheeks would occasionally turned deep red, burning hot because of embarrassment. She could not believe she did all those things but she did not regret she did those either. It was just she was really shy afterwards. It was her first time doing such things and she did not need any experience to do it perfectly. She only followed her instinct and monitored Xander''s body movements. Xander seemed very pleased with his loud cries and moanings. She blushed when Xander grabbed her hand and kissed it as they walked at the greeting area of the airport. Xander honestly wanted to take Yera and owned her completely but he controlled himself hard. He could feel it, he was already there, almost breaking that wall. So he would wait further until her emotional shield was totally broken. However, he wanted to return the pleasure his dear wife gave him but she overpowered him a while ago. Yes, Yera did not allow him to move at all. It was like she was too determined in giving him a full blast of fireworks alone. But of course, he should return the favor later¡­ He grinned as his perverted thought became active in his mind. He could not help it as the corner of his lips curved upward, forming a very wicked smile as he and Yera continued to walk to their car hand in hand where his driver and assistant Ron were waiting. Sparks were all over the couple''s face as soon as they arrived outside the airport so assistant Ron assumed the success of his Boss. ''He finally conquered his wife,'' he thought inwardly as he greeted the two with his most polite and energetic manner. Inside the car, Xander cuddled Yera who fell asleep. He grinned at the thought on how tired his wife must have been for sending him to cloud nine numerous times¡­ or it would be more precise to say she sent him to heaven several times? He giggled on his own sill thoughts. Assistant Ron and the driver exchanged meaningful gazes hearing their Boss giggled alone then assistant Ron shook his head. He would be fed up with a lot of public display of affection later on so he should familiarize himself with it. ......¡­. "When will Dr. Song come back?" Dr. Dion Chen asked Dr. Ye who frowned at him saying, "Tomorrow she will report at the hospital? Why? Don''t you like assisting me?" Dr. Dion Chen often assisted Dr. Deyna Song almost in all of her operations. He was like an apprentice who always followed his mentor, Dr. Song. Dr. Rio who heard the conversation laughed out hard and scornfully said, "If you are Dion would you prefer to assist you yourself or Dr. Song?" "Of course Dr. Song¡­" Dr. Ye answered straightforwardly with twitched mouth before he turned his gaze back to Dr. Chen. With arched he instructed, "You¡­ Go ready the operating room now and don''t ever think of any advance thought about Dr. Song because she is way beyond your league dude." Dion heaved a long sigh before he said, "Hmm Dr. Ye¡­ Someone admiring you is behind your back," before he almost ran out to head at the operating room. Dr. Rio shivered as the cold air ran through her body. "That man is really creepy. Handsome yeah but totally weird and creepy." she said as she shook her head. Dr. Ye who by that time paled slowly turned his head on his back then he could feel goosebumps running all over his body. "I will kill that Dion Chen. Of all the new doctors why would they hire that bastard." he muttered irritable as he shifted his eyes back to Dr. Rio It was almost past midnight, and they were inside the on-call room because of an emergency operations. Dr. Rio nodded in agreement at Dr. Ye''s comment. At first Dr. Dion Chen looked very mysteriously handsome. He was twenty eight but looked younger at his age. Dr. Chen was the quiet and silent type that he would not talk to you unless you talk to him first or if he would ever talk, it was full of sense unlike Dr. Ye. Dr. Chen started as a medical intern and the hospital permanently took him in as soon as he got his license to practice. That new doctor often followed Dr. Deyna Song. The two got along well because of the compatibility in their personalities, she assumed. Recently, they discovered that Dr. Dion Chen had this thing called a ''third eye'' when one of his friends coincidentally ate at the same restaurant near the hospital where they were often eating. Dr. Ye offered a seat to Dr. Chen''s friend so they could eat together which the latter regretted tremendously afterwards because that friend spilled out what he called the special ability of Dr. Dion Chen. It was much better that they did not find out about it because they would only think of him as a mysterious handsome guy on his eyeglasses. She was even flattered for those times where Dion would suddenly looked at her direction, thinking her beauty was appreciated. But after knowing about that third eye thing, she would feel her hairs standing up everytime Dion would look at her longer than usual because she could not help but consider the man probably was seeing unnatural beings near her or with her. Dr. Rio released a restless expression before she said, "I''ll go and leave you here with that someone admiring you behind your back Dr. Ye." Then she quickly went out of the on-call room. Dr. Ye''s eyes rounded in horror as he quickly followed Dr. Rio out of the room. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

The couple was back in the Yang ancestral mansion before sunrise. Yera was still heavily sleeping in Xander''s arms so he carried her inside their room and gently put her on their bed. He laid his body down beside her and cuddled her before he kissed her lips, full of love. Xander heaved a long sigh and murmured, "I never thought it was possible to fall in love with a person like this. I''m really grateful Yera that you crashed into my life. I''m grateful to Bernard for letting me know you and take good care of you. Sleep well darling¡­ I love you¡­" He planted another warm and heartfelt kiss on Yera''s lips before he closed his eyes and fell in slumber. After a few more seconds, after hearing Xander''s heavy breathing, Yera opened her eyes and stared at the man who was hugging him lovingly. She heard Xander¡­ She was not asleep¡­ Tears unconsciously fell from her now swollen eyes. She was too overwhelmed to hear those words for Xander. Maybe Xander was right, he was not a jinx after all or Xander was the good luck she needed in her life. She smiled and murmured, "Thank you¡­" She too was grateful and she promised to herself that she would soon sort her feelings out so Xander would not wait that long. ..... Yera woke up late, her hands automatically grabbed the side of the bed. Her eyebrows knitted when she felt it was empty. She quickly opened her sheepish eyes and saw it was really empty. Xander''s usual smiling face that would greet her whenever she woke up was not there. She sat and looked at their wall clock. It was almost noontime. Yera stretched her arms and yawned. She had a nice peaceful sleep. She grabbed her mobile phone and saw many unread messages but the first thing she opened was Xander''s message. [Xander: Darling, I have to attend an important meeting. You sleep so soundly so I did not wake you up. Rest more and you don''t need to report to work. I''ll have Dr. Gong cover for you. I bet you''re missing me already¡­ I hope¡­ See you soon love¡­ PS: Be prepared for shamelessness overload when I return] Yera''s heart skipped a beat just reading those text messages. Her stomach whisked as she flushed unconsciously. She deliberately shook her head and rose from the bed to head straight in the bathroom. She needed a cold shower. ¡­. Yera reported back at the hospital the same day. She informed Xander that she would work instead. "Welcome back!" Dr. Ye greeted as soon as he saw the beautiful surgeon whom he admired so much. Dr. Song had with her paper bags that they presumed the souvenirs they asked before she left. Yera handed them the souvenirs. "Wow, our Dr. Song is really thoughtful and generous. I recalled that time when it was Dr. Ye who attended the conference, the souvenirs we got was only a keychain." Dr. Rio scoffed then grinned happily while she looked at the pretty handbag Dr. Song bought for her. "Hey! It''s the thought that counts!" Dr. Ye countered immediately as his face reddened. Others laughed and thanked Yera for bothering to get them something from the conference she attended. Yera saw her favorite junior, Dr. Dion Chen¡­ She smiled as she handed to him the shirt she bought. "Did you enjoy the place?" Dion was the first to ask how her day went. Yera nodded and chuckled when Dion''''s face blushed as he smiled at her timidly and said, "thank you." She liked Dr. Chen from the start because she could see herself on him. Someone who was quiet but eager to learn and someone who knew his goal. Also, he looked familiar but she could not tell how. Their mobile phone beeped, there was an emergency operation required at the emergency room so everyone rushed to get back at work so did Yera. Yera felt exhausted after an operation and would like to get some air, so she went to the hospital ''s rooftop where there was a mini garden and a bench exclusive only for employees of the hospital. She sat on one of the benches as she moved her neck gently left and right. "Here," Dion handed her a bottle of ice coffee mocha he already opened as he sat beside Yera. "Thanks. Hmm, this is my favorite." Yera mumbled as she smiled and looked at the chilling bottle. She would often grabbed ice coffee mocha than a hot one. "I''m happy that you look more cheerful now Dr. Song, more carefree." Dion commented as he looked at her. Yera laughed and commented, "You should try loosening out too. We get age if we don''t smile often¡­ I heard that from someone." She remembered Xander always teased her whenever she would frown, saying she would get old soon so she should smile often instead. "Hmm, someone dear to your heart?" Dion asked smiling. Yera nodded. She was actually comfortable with Dion like she felt that they had a connection or something. He was someone she saw like a younger brother since the latter was one year younger than her. Then she recalled that Dion had the special ability so she quickly said, "Don''t you dare mention anything creepy when we''re alone like this or I''ll smack your head!" Dion laughed and Yera was reminded of someone seeing those smiles and hearing the sound of his laughter. ''They looked alike when they laugh¡­'' she mused. "Don''t worry, I won''t mention creepy things unless it''s necessary." he said grinning before he stretched his arms upwards and feel the cold air on his cheeks. "Ahh, this feels nice," he muttered with his eyes closed. "Treat me like a close friend Dr. Song. Whenever you need someone to talk to then feel comfortable in doing so with me if it''s something you can''t tell anyone. I''m good at keeping secrets and also good in giving advice." he sincerely added. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 65 - Male Species Xander stared at his mobile phone as he contemplated whether to give Yera a call. "Ron, do you think I look too clingy if I''ll call her?" Xander suddenly asked. He was inside his hotel suite while Ron organized the things he needed for another important meeting tomorrow. ''What''s with the hesitation Boss? Aren''t you naturally clingy?'' Assistant Ron would want to voice out but replied, "Sir, I think not. It''s just a call¡­ Some couples even talk the whole day. I think it''s better to follow what your heart tells you to do Sir because a heart is always sincere." Xander already called Thea to remind her about dinner. Just now he received a message from her that she would sleep in his office because of an emergency operation she had to perform. He wanted to check if she was already sleeping. He was still at Country V for an important regarding the building of their hospital branch there and he was not sure if tomorrow he could already go back. He quickly dialed Yera''s number¡­ *Ring¡­ He was startled when it was answered with just one ring because usually it would take several rings before she answered the mobile phone. "Hello darling¡­ Miss me?" Xander shamelessly uttered with a wide grin curving his face. He could almost picture Yera''s reddening at the back of his head. Lately, Yera would often blushed with his shamelessness unlike the first time where she would always countered it with her hissing and frank words. Xander heard a man cough before he spoke, "I''m sorry, Uhm Deyna was out in a while to get something and she forgot her phone on the table of our department. I answered because it might be urgent so I can look for her and give her the phone just in case." Xander''s ears blasted with redness as he murmured, "Deyna?" "Uhm yes, Deyna Song. You''re calling Deyna right?" The man said nonchalantly. Xander could not believe how he heard the man spoke Yera''s name informally like the two were very close. "Who''s this?" He asked as his eyebrows collided. "Oh, Dion Chen. Do you want me to look for her?" asked Dion. "No, it''s okay. I''ll call my WIFE back later." Xander answered putting a specific heavy diction on the word ''WIFE''. "Alright, I have to go now. I will tell her you called as soon as I see her." Said the man named Dion before he pressed the end button. "My Darling," Dion muttered as he looked at Yera''s mobile phone screen. He put back the phone where it was before he went out. ¡­... Assistant Ron winced, seeing the sudden gloomy expression of his Boss while he said, "check that Dion Chen and give me his profile. I want every tiny details Ron." "Noted Sir." Assistant Ron replied and quickly worked on it. In just an hour, everything Xander needed was sent into his profile including video footage inside the hospital where the two had interactions. Dion Chen, twenty eight years of age and raised by a single parent. Dion Chen was raised and born from another country. His mother was half a foreigner and half was the same nationality as theirs. Dion Chen came to their country when he turned eighteen to study medicine. His eyebrows raised seeing he studied at the same school where Yera did and even abroad, they went in the same academy but Yera was a year step ahead to Dion. "Do they know each other?" He muttered as he read further. The report said that Yera came to know Dion Chen at Yang Hospital when he became an intern. He felt suspicious in such thing, could it be mere coincidence? Dion also had records connected with Life Globals group,where he did some internship and volunteer health care services. It was like he was always there, wherever Yera was, except for those times that Yera was pronounced dead. The man stayed lay low and showed up again when Yera came to work at Yang Hospital as Deyna Song. "Why do I feel like he was a stalker?" Xander commented. Assistant Ron accidentally coughed as he controlled himself for giving grave comments lie, ''Boss, you look like more of a stalker than him.'' Xander seemed to understand that cough from Chen so he murmured, "I may look more of a stalker since I keep track on my wife but it''s a good stalk for her own safety. Besides, how come these things are not reported to me?" Assistant Ron paled and explained, "Boss, uhm you say report anything suspicious and the team did not see anything suspicious so far¡­" Xander rolled his eyes as he glared at assistant Ron and said, "Male species are all suspicious so report to me every male species that will go near my wife." "Noted Boss, we''ll take note of this and I will have the team get the order precisely¡­" answered assistant Ron as he held his breath. Xander shook his head and sent the files to Ralph for his security team to check on that Dion further because he felt the man was someone suspicious. "Maybe I should ban employees going on the rooftop from now on," he childishly mumbled with pouted lips as he watched a recent footage where Yera was happily talking to Dion at the rooftop garden. Yera was smiling at the video clip and she looked at ease. Xander liked it that Yera was learning to socialize instead of being uptight however, if possible he would like her to get closer with female friends instead of male ones. Well ones were okay though as long as they did not have hidden agenda to his wife of course. Xander dismissed assistant Ron but before the latter walk towards the door, he asked, "Ron, who do you think looks more attractive? That Dion or Me?" "Oh yeah Boss, I noticed that Dion looks handsome too Secretary Ness is even prying on that one the moment he arrives but he is creepy¡­" Assistant Ron commented and almost choked because of his Boss'' glared at him so he quickly answered, "Boss, why ask something like that? It''s too obvious that you''re better than him and handsome." "What creepy?!" Xander asked instead because he did not read any crepy on his profile. Assistant Ron told Xander the details of what he came to hear from Secretary Ness. "Gossips do spread like a contagious disease¡­" commented Xander before he gestured assistant Ron to leave. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He heaved a long sigh of frustration inside the car as they headed at the site. Xander was supposed to take one of their private planes to head back home but was cancelled because his construction crew discovered bones at the construction site this morning. "Boss, the general contractor instructed to pause all activities on-site." reported Assistant Ron and Xander nodded. He was the landowner so he instructed his team to inform the relevant parties. He knew things like this were possible but this was the first time he encountered such after all the building projects he had before to expand their Yang Hospital facilities worldwide. The one he had right now at Country V was the biggest building project that they wanted to launch as soon as possible. The place needed a hospital facility like theirs so he would love to finish the building of this one as soon as possible. Country V had different processes with this cases in which assistant Ron was briefing him during their drive at site. It would be much easier if it was only an animal bones but if it was human remains¡­ In worst case scenarios, they could point to evidence in an unsolved investigation or even marked the location as a long-abandoned cemetery. Assistant Ron''s mobile phone rang. After the call, he reported, "Boss non-forensic archeology experts are already at the site. There could be delays for many months." Xander massaged his temples, it was okay for delays but the building project could be at risk of being shut down indefinitely or cancelled. This was the biggest project he had worked on for so long, and it was giving him a total headache at that moment. He was startled when he heard his mobile phone rang and quickly grabbed it. His sullen mood suddenly brightened seeing the caller ID appearing as ''my darling''. "Hello," Xander answered. Yera knitted her eyebrows because Xander''s voice seemed to lack energy than usual so she asked, "Is everything alright? You sound lonely." Xander chuckled, hearing the word lonely so he replied, "Hmm, yeah I''m lonely because I''m missing my darling so much. I might stay for two more days here. How was everything there?" Yera smiled and answered, "Hmm, quite busy here too. What happened there?" Xander told Yera what happened and why he needed to stay. "That''s unfortunate, I''m sure everything will turn out well." she murmured with creased forehead. Her face could not be painted as it paled at the same time. She was having another negative thought. ''Could it be her bad luck?'' she mused as her heart skipped from beating. She suddenly became scared at the thought of Xander was now having a bad luck. ''Was it because she was starting to care for Xander?'' she presumed silently. She heard Xander murmured, "Yes, everything will be alright so don''t think about it. Besides, it''s not a big deal. This project is not that big and will not hit yang Hospital group that much. I''m Xander Yang remember? This is just a tiny glitch." Xander said in his usual boastful and happy tone so Yera would not get worried because he could sense that she would. "Hmm, maybe I''ll go home today after I meet all related parties today since I bet you miss me already. I miss kissing and cuddling you." Xander teased. He could hear Yera''s distressed sighs on the other line and Xander cursed inwardly for being an idiot for telling Yera about the situation. It was because he wanted to be honest with his wife at all times that he forgot to consider the possibility of Yera thinking that things had got to do with her being an unlucky person to those who she cared about. "Stop that! Whatever you''re thinking has nothing to do with that jinx and if it ever it has something to do with it then I don''t mind. I will gladly accept all the bad luck in my life as long as it only proves that you care and LOVE me!" Xander declared firmly. Then he continued in his deep heavy voice, "I want more bad luck to rain me Yera if you will continue to think that the people you care for and love is getting bad luck from you¡­ I will even chant for bad luck because I don''t care. I only care for you to LOVE me back..." "Stupid¡­" Yera murmured, her voice was cracked because she was suppressing the tears that would fall down from her eyes at any moment. Then she continued, "Why are you stupid?" She heard Xander chuckled and replied, "And why are you so superstitious? There''s no such thing as jinx¡­ Problems and trials do happen but that doesn''t mean you''re jinx. Those things are meant to happen to help us learn and grow from them. It makes us stronger to move forward. Do you understand darling?" Yera muttered, "Yeah¡­ I have to go now. I will sleep in your office again later. Always take care¡­" Xander smiled and said, "Yes, of course. I will soon return to you darling. I love you.." Xander was about to end the call but then he heard Yera''s voice saying, "I miss you," before the call ended. *Toot¡­ *Tooot¡­ *Toot¡­. He could already hear the end beep sounds at that moment but the mobile phone was still in his ear. "She said he miss me¡­" Xander muttered and added, "Ron, send Rui at site. I will fly back home this evening." "Noted Boss I will contact COO Dee¡­" assistant Ron answered. Rui was not only Xander''s bestfriend but he was also the Chief Operational Officer of Yang Hospital group, next in his position. The corner of Xander''s lips curved upwards, all his previous worries about the building project were swept away just hearing those words from his wife. ''I miss you'' he mused as he anticipated to hear the three magical words soon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

I will meet her at the rooftop. Dr. Ye will come with me. Dr. Song will lead the operation." instructed Chief Doctor Gong. Then he ordered the team to dismissed to all designated areas. Yera with her team headed to the operating room to wait for the patient while Nurse Park briefed Yera about patient''s details and condition as they walked to the elevator. "Patient''s name, Terry Lim, 79 years of age...." Nurse Parked started as she read further details they received from the previous hospital. "She''s the in-law of Field Marshal Chan." commented one of the team as they headed inside the operating room and got ready to receive the patient. "We''ll do an emergency laparotomy," said Yera plainly hearing the condition of the patient and seeing all her laboratory results. She met Keira Chan, the only daughter of their Field Marshal through Bernard and Keira was Xander''s close cousin from his father''s side. So the patient was Keira''s grandmother-in-law. After a few minutes the patient arrived inside the operating room. "Let''s begin," Yera said and signaled the anaesthesiologist to do general anaesthesia. ...... Dion was walking with his cup of coffee in his hand when he bumped to Dr. Rui Dee so some of the coffee got spilled in his lab gown. "Sorry Dr. Chen," apologized Dr. Dee. They knew each other because Dion was a patient also who seeked Dr. Dee''s help in coping with his special ability. Dion nodded and scratched his head because he would need to visit one of their patients in the ward. "I only have this left¡­" he mumbled unconsciously because all his lab gown was still in the laundry shop. The hospital was very strict with policies that doctors should wear a lab gown whenever they visit their patient. "You''re going to do rounds?" asked Dr. Dee and Dr. Chen nodded. "Here, use my gown for now. I have a lot of spare in my office. Return it to me totally clean alright." said Dr. Dee grinning as he removed his lab gown and handed it to Dion. "Thanks Rui¡­ I''ll visit your office afterwards too because I need some advice on certain things." said Dion smiling before he walked out to do his daily rounds. Rui looked at Dion''s back and shook his head. The man was living alone with no one at all in their country. He remembered asking Dion why not to live with his mother instead who was at Country V but Dion would only tell him that he had his reasons for staying in their country. It was more like he wanted to get near with a particular person and wanted to protect that someone¡­ People did have their own complications in life like him who needed to fly to Country V because of their Dr. CEO'' instruction. Rui''s face crumpled, he should take that CEO position instead so he would be the one to command his love sick friend. ..... Dr. Dion Chen completed his rounds at the ward and was about to go to Dr. Dee''s clinic to return his lab gown when he noticed a woman crying at the corridor. The woman seemed to be in great agony as she sat at one of the chairs. He noticed her hand trembled as she held an armchair. She was trying hard to calm and stop herself from sobbing. Dion''s hated to see this kind of fear and agony, so he walked towards the woman as he grabbed his handkerchief in his wallet and offered it to the woman as he spoke, "Miss, here use this." The woman took the handkerchief and thanked him before she unconsciously sneezed on it. Dion looked at the young woman, who he presumed to be around twenty three years of age, totally befuddled before he quickly composed himself from shock on her utterly blunt manners. "Everything will be alright, so please calm yourself down and gather yourself. You have to stay strong, so your loved one will keep on fighting," he encouraged with a smile. There were numerous scenes like that in the hospital and Dion had this urge to always approach and give encouragements as a physician. The woman who had her head raised to stare at him could not have a proper look at him because her eyes were still clouded with tears, and the bright light from the ceiling was a hindrance too. All that the woman could see was a man with eyeglasses who was wearing a lab gown, so she concluded that Dion must be a doctor. She looked at his lab gown to look for his name tag, so she could address him properly. The name embroidered in the lab gown was Dr. Rui Dee. "Doc emergency!" Dion heard a nurse called him from a distance who ran towards him so Dion left in haste with the nurse. The woman looked at the handkerchief with an embroidery of a small flower. "Rui," the woman murmured unconsciously before a smile curved her lips. "Such a gentleman," she thought loudly before she wiped her tears with the handkerchief and sneezed on it again. Oh well, she would just have to wash it before she returned it. "Rizie!" Keira Chan said who followed Rizie because she was worried. "Sis," Rizie mumbled as she wiped her tears with the same handkerchief the man had offered her. Keira sat beside her and hugged her. "Shhh¡­ Don''t worry. Grandma Terry will be safe. It''s Deyna Song who is handling her operation and she is the best in this league so please calm yourself. Nothing bad will happen to Grandma Terry." Keira calmed her sister-in-law. Her cousin Xander was out of the country right now but he said he would come home this evening when she gave him a call. Keira met Dr. Deyna Song once, when Bernard was still alive. Bernard introduced Deyna as his fiancee before. She was glad Deyna did enter at Yang Hospital. She wondered if Deyna already met her cousin Xander Yang, because Bernard and Xander looked similar, more like twins at first glance¡­ Her mother and Xander''s father was siblings while Xander''s mother and Bernard''s mother were siblings. "Let''s go back Rizie¡­" Keira mumbled as she helped Rizie got up to walk back at the operating room waiting area. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 68 - I Like You "Thank You so much Doc!" A young woman hugged Yera tightly as soon as she relayed how the operation went successful for the patient named Terry Lim. She informed them that the patient was now at the recovery room and would be soon moved to her private room. She saw Keira and greeted the latter who walked towards her and scolded the woman who did not let Yera go with her hugging, "Rizie, let go and let Dr. Song breath. I''m sure she''s exhausted after saving Grandma Terry." The lady named Rizie finally let Yera go and with a beautiful smile said, "Sorry Dr. Song. It''s just that I''m really grateful that my Grandma Terry is now safe. Than you so much Dr. Song." Yera smiled back and nodded. She bid her farewell after she discussed the condition of the patient to her family. She was stretching her arms and neck as she walked towards Xander''s office to rest. She looked at her wrist watch. It was past 9:00 PM already and she could feel the grumbling of her stomach. She stopped walking and turned back to eat first. She almost forgot to eat dinner. She headed in the canteen first and ordered for food. She saw Dion who was eating alone so she walked towards him and sat in front of him. "Why are you still here?" she asked nonchalantly. She heard Dion released a long deep sigh before he muttered. "Sit beside me not in front of me. That evil spirit seems unstable¡­" "What the heck!" Yera hissed as she immediately stood up and sat beside Dion instead. She could feel goosebumps all over her body that she regretted she even approach and sat with Dion. She heard Dion chuckled so her eyes rounded as she confronted him, "Are you doing a prank on me?!" "Of course not, but your scary face is really fun. Why? Do you regret approaching me? Because most of my friends do especially when I was still a kid. Go eat Deyna, I can hear your stomach grumbling." Dion said casually as he continued to eat. Whenever they were alone together, the two of them would call each other in their first names. Yera felt guilty and said, "Sorry. I told you not to talk creepy things when we''re together." Dion laughed and said, "It''s necessary because that spirit sitting in front of us look pissed off. I''m used to this kind of thing so whenever I saw those spirits I don''t take them seriously. I even make jokes about them." Dion could really see those things though he did not believe for them to exist but he learned that evil spirits do really exist however, he had grown his faith to God so he came to overcome them along the process. Those spirits could not touch him or scare him anymore because he was covered and protected by the blood of God, his Saviour. He told Yera about this while they ate, all about his ''third eye''. Yera listened well and would occasionally give comments and questions whenever she was curious. "So do you think I''m also weird?" Dion asked afterwards. "Hmm, not really. All of us have different perspective in life. We also have different beliefs and I don''t think you''re weird simply because I respect your beliefs¡­" Yera answered simply. Dion smiled at her and said, "That''s why I really like you Deyna. You''re the best among the rest. No one will understand me better than you do." "Hmmp, I''m sure you need something or up to something? What is it?" Yera asked with twitched mouth because everytime Dion would compliment her what would follow was a favor. Dion scratched his head and said, "I''m having a hard time doing the colectomy¡­" Yera''s nostrils flare and said, "Alright, I''ll teach you a more convenient better technique later because right now I''m totally dead tired." Yera bid her farewell first and quickly left Dion alone who mumbled, "How come she eats so fast?" Then he added staring at the seat in front of him, enough for him to only hear it, "Shoo! I''m losing my appetite because of you..." Then he closed his eyes and uttered a silent prayer. ... Yera creased her forehead seeing Xander''s office lights were on from the outside. She entered the office but no one was around. She opened Xander''s private room and opened the lights. She saw Xander socks, shoes and tie scattered on the floor. Her eyes lit up as she saw Xander was lying on the bed. She immediately cleaned herself up and joined him on the bed. She did not turn the lights out yet to have a better look at his peaceful face. He looked exhausted and she bet he was for real. He travelled back and forth on different countries not to mention he had a lot occupying his mind right now. Yera sighed and bent down to give him a goodnight kiss for the first time. Her lips gently touched his and before she could raise her lips, Xander suddenly hugged her closely and firmly. Xander positioned their bodies sideways where he hugged her wholly. He opened his eyes and looked intently at Yera. "Hmm¡­ Why is the kiss you''re giving me is short. I thought you miss me. But now I doubt you do. If you miss someone you should at least give¡­" said Xander with pouted lips but was interrupted by Yera''s lips who immediately sealed his mouth with her lingering passion, proving how she longed for him. She was giving him a torrid kiss that Xander was left breathless as soon as Yera let go of her lips for more than several minutes of probing deep in his mouth. Then Yera buried her face on his neck and hugged him even tighter. "You look tired. Go and sleep. Hmm, also, I like you very much. I''m exhausted too now that my eyes are too heavy," Yera murmured in her sluggish voice before Xander heard her heavy breathing and soft snoring. Xander smiled¡­ His heart was dancing with so much joy before he closed his eyes and muttered, "I love you¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 69 - Did I Say That? Xander was awakened by the sound of his mobile phone and the first thing he did was moved his arm to hold Yera, not bothering with the sound of his mobile phone was making. However, the bed was empty. ''She''s up early?'' he mused lazily. His lips curved upward, an ear to ear grin plastered all over his face with his eyes still closed. Merely because Yera''s words kept on replaying in his head. He sluggishly opened his eyes and looked at his wall clock. "Oh it''s late!" He grunted and quickly sat on the bed as he stretched his arms and attended his noisy mobile phone. He woke up late because he was too exhausted from yesterday''s meetings with various people and not to add the long flight he had to be home since his wife said she missed him. He could not help but giggle on his own. He was in a very good mood today that he would definitely gave a treat all his employees in the hospital for a good meal later. Why? Because his dear wife told him last night that she liked him very much! The word ''very much'' added made him fell asleep at cloud nine last night. "I like you very much," he murmured several times followed by his whistling as he went inside his shower room to have a quick bath. Xander looked at himself on his full size length mirror one last time before going out of his private room. Then he messaged assistant Ron to go inside his office once he was back since the latter messaged him that he would take a file real quick. He was startled when Yera suddenly entered his office. She was smiling at him as she said, "Good morning¡­ I bought breakfast¡­ I''m sure you''re hungry." Xander smiled back and his eyes were twinkling, more brighter than the stars. He saw Yera put the coffees on his table and picked the sandwiches out from the paper bag. She was already wearing her lab gown so she would probably work soon. "Come and sit here. Drink the coffee while it''s hot." Yera said as she sat on his couch. Xander''s heart was melting on that simple gesture. The thoughtfulness of his wife was too overwhelming for him that he could not help but pounced at her. He hugged Yera tightly as he whispered lovingly, "Thank you for being honest and telling me you like me¡­ I''m so happy¡­" He heard Yera coughed as if clearing her throat before she murmured, "Uhmm did I say that?" Xander pulled himself and held Yera''s shoulders as he pouted his lips and complained, "Stop that!" Yera was trying her best to control her laughter but she could not help it so she burst out in a fit of laughter because of Xander''s expression. "What''s funny? That''s not funny at all¡­" Xander whispered with heavy shoulders and sullen look. He felt his world crumbled at the thought that he heard everything wrong last night. "Sorry¡­ It''s just that It''s fun to tease you." Yera said still laughing. She did not know what had gotten into her that teasing Xander crossed her mind. Maybe because she was in a good mood today. She stopped laughing and looked at Xander closely as she cupped his bemused face. "I like you okay and you heard it all right. I clearly said it last night. I like you very much..." Yera vividly stated before she kissed Xander''s lips. That morning, Yera woke up in Xander''s arms wrapped around her. And she indulge herself in staring at his handsome face. He looked a bit weary but still smiling in his deep slumber that made him more attractive in her eyes. At that moment, Yera made up her mind that she would no longer hesitate on things when it comes to Xander. She would do what she wanted to do and be more outgoing. Like now, she wanted to kiss Xander and so she did. Xander was at cloud nine once more. Yera was kissing him and it felt so good whenever she would be the one initiating a kiss like that. He was too engrossed in tasting her lips while he intensified it with his tongue. But the intimate and invigorating kiss they were having was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door with assistant Ron''s voice, "Boss! You need me?" Yera quickly pulled herself out from the kiss while Xander looked at assistant Ron and exclaimed, "No!" Assistant Ron scratched his head and opened his mouth to say something but halted... Yera noticed it, so she looked at assistant Ron and asked, "Yes Ron?" followed by an awkward smile. "Uhm I''m sorry I should probably tell it later." answered assistant Ron seeing Xander''s glare at him. "It''s okay¡­ What is it?" Yera encouraged as she handed the cup of coffee to Xander who by now smoothen his face. "I will just say that your new clinic is now ready." Assistant Ron reported and immediately left as soon as his boss Xander gestured him to leave. After having breakfast, Xander accompanied Yera to her fully furnished new clinic. Yera, on the other hand, felt excited, seeing her own space. "You need an assistant. Ron already made the arrangements on posting the requirements for possible applicants so you can choose from them." Said Xander with a smile. Yera nodded as she looked around. "Thank you¡­ I like it very much. Hmm, but how come I don''t have a private room like yours?" She commented because she clearly told assistant Ron to give her a private room like Xander''s private room inside her clinic where she could rest anytime she wanted. Xander coughed to clear his throat. Assistant Ron mentioned that to him but he cancelled it because he would prefer Yera to stay and sleep at his private room if necessary. "Hmm, I still prefer you sleep over in my office instead. You''ll be more secure at my floor. This clinic is too open for other people, including civilians." Xander explained. "Besides, it will be hard for me to sneak in your clinic to sleep with you, unlike you sneaking in my office¡­" added Xander bluntly with a grin. He had a private elevator going to his office and people rarely walked or passed by there because only authorized personnel could use that elevator. Yera no longer commented, thinking she would not use the clinic for a long time anyway since she would soon transfer at Life Globals group. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Keira was more like a sister to Xander so he told her about his sudden marriage with Yera. "What? You got married in secret?!" Keira''s shout roared inside Xander''s office. Xander just responded with a big grin and an enthusiastic nod. Keira was staring at him in disbelief as Xander narrated everything. "Why did you only tell me about this now? And you did not even bother to introduce me to her. I''m a bit disappointed that I was left in the dark, Cousin Brother... But, gosh, finally! After all those years, that little buddy of yours can finally salute! He was not out of order, after all. He was just picky!" Keira teased as she laughed out loud, which made Xander reddened from embarrassment. Keira was the only one in his relatives knew about his disorder. "Shhh! Keep your mouth shut! This is why I didn''t tell you about this! She does not know anything about it yet, okay? Oh, but you met her already. She''s the one who operated on your grandmother-in-law," Xander said with pride. Keira''s eyes widened as she blurted out, "Deyna Song!? Wait... Bernard''s fiancee? What''s going on here?" Keira suddenly felt confused. Bernard had passed on, and yes, a few months had already gone by, and life must go on, but how did Bernard''s fiancee become Xander''s wife? So, Xander told Keira everything about Deyna. Keira did not know whether to feel happy for Xander or pity him. But, just by looking at her cousin''s sparkling eyes when he talked to her about Deyna Song, she could tell that her cousin liked her a lot, not just like but she could sense that Xander already loved Deyna. "If you need any help with capturing her heart, just tell me, okay, Cousin Brother? I will help you, so don''t worry¡­" she offered excitedly. Xander''s face crumpled as he refused, "No way¡­ I can manage by myself¡­ I know you too well that I''m afraid you''ll just sabotage everything." Keira laughed and shook her head as she said, "Well, good luck then¡­ But you know I love you, right? So, I''ll really help you out¡­" "Nah don''t bother. I can feel it¡­ The road to success is almost there dear cousin¡­" said Xander boastfully. It was true he could feel it. Yera said she liked him and that would soon turn into love. He giggled on his own silly thoughts that made Keira twitched her mouth. Her cousin, Xander Yang, was head over heels into a woman for the first time. "You two must be fated," she voiced out because everything seemed connected. Bernard served as a way for the two to cross path¡­ Xander walked Keira outside the hospital where they saw a group of doctors arriving. "I must say that I''ve been seeing good looking doctors in your hospital lately," Keira commented. Xander followed his cousin''s gaze and his eyebrows arched seeing one of the doctors. "What good looking? That one with an eyeglass? Since when did you appreciate a nerdy looking man?" he scoffed pertaining to Dr. Dion Chen, Yera''s only male friend in the hospital according to his wife herself when he subtly asked Yera if she had any close friend in the hospital. "Are you blind? What nerd are you saying? You know it improves sex appeal! It''s the genius aura that made them attractive like Rui. Your psychiatrist is also hot in eyeglass like that doctor." Keira pointed her lips on Dion''s direction that made Xander knitted his eyebrows. "Maybe I should tell Zach that her pregnant wife is dreaming about men in eyeglasses?" he scorned irritably. Keira ignored Xander''s sulking and laughed. "What''s with you dear cousin? Women love mysterious looking men! It''s desirable! I will tell Zach to wear one like Clark Kent in Superman!" Keira burst dreamily, adding more vinegar at Xander''s facial expression. After a while, Xander asked, "Do you think I should wear one? You know add more sex appeal on myself but i think it''s not needed since I''m already oozing with sex appeal." Keira''s picked up stopped at them and before Keira went inside the car she chaffed, "Yeah oozing¡­ oozing with inferiority complex." Before Xander could launch his attack Keira hurriedly went inside the car and left. "That pregnant brat! How dare she said I have an inferiority complex!" he complained as he turned to walk back inside the hospital. By that time Dion and the other doctors with him entered too but paused to greet and pay respect at him. "Hmm, I saw new faces or probably I haven''t some of you guys around since I''m a bit busy." he commented. One of the doctors who was the senior said, "Yes Dr. CEO. They are new hired doctors though Dr. Dion Chen here had his internship with us previously." Xander nodded and casually offered, "Do you guys have important work to attend now? If you''re available then come join me. Let''s grab some coffee." The doctors agreed so they went directly at the hospital cafe on the ground floor. Xander would give Dion sneak glances every once in a while. ''What sex appeal?'' he mused because hee could not see that sex appeal Keira was saying. "So how do you find working in our hospital so far?" Xander asked while he drank his coffee. He noticed that Dion was looking intently behind him so he turned around but there was no one. Dion was elbowed by Dr. Ye beside him as he whispered, "Dr. CEO is asking how you find working in the hospital." "Oh, it''s good. The benefits are great and my co-doctors are very helpful especially Dr. Song." Dion answered in his cheerful tone. Xander''s mouth twitched but then he quickly smiled and said, "Oh yeah,my darling¡­" Dr. Ye and others almost choked on their drinks but no one dare to say a word. Dr. CEO was known as a playboy so they should not be shocked by this gesture from him. Meanwhile, Dion met Xander''s gaze before Dion commented, "Dr. Song is a very nice woman and I believe she deserves to be with someone who can protect her well¡­" Other doctors looked at each other and their eyes agreed to smack Dr. Chen''s head at that moment before they shifted their eyes to their Dr. CEO. But surprisingly, their Dr. CEO only smirk and raised his coffee to them before sipping. Then Dr. CEO declared, "Well if that''s the case then¡­ I guess, I''m the only one capable of protecting her well." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Lately, either Yera or Xander was already asleep whenever one of them would join each other on their bed. And almost all days the two of them would sleep more at Xander''s office in his private room rather than going home at Yang mansion. Xander looked at the wall clock on his office as he straightened his back. He just finished a pile of reports sent by Rui. It was almost lunch so he gave Yera a call but she was not answering. "Ness, check where my wife is¡­" he instructed his secretary before he called for assistant Ron next to buy lunch for him and Yera. ''Is she in the operating room?'' he mused as he stood up on his chair to get out of his office. But before he could leave, he saw Yera entering the room with a paper bag. "I bought lunch. Let''s go eat. I will soon leave for another operation." she said as she prepared the food on the table. Xander was smiling sweetly. He was squealing inside. He loved that feeling of being taken cared of and being remembered. Whenever Yera would take initiative on simple things like this his heart would always jump in joy. ''I feel loved!'' Xander mused with a broad grin on his face as he sat beside Yera. He could feel mere contentment just by having a meal together like this despite their busy schedules. "How''s your food?" Xander asked in the middle of their lunch. "It''s good," Yera answered plainly. Xander pursed his lips as he reiterated, "Taste good? Yummy?" He actually wanted Yera to offer him a spoon of her food but he was hesitating to ask. Yera paused and looked at him. Then she asked, "You don''t like yours? Do you want me to ask Ness to buy you something same as mine? I thought you like pork¡­" Yera loved beef while Xander prefered pork so that was why she bought him a recipe of pork. Yes he hesitated to ask Yera to feed him her meal, but then he was shameless so¡­ Xander released a deep long sigh as he looked at Yera and opened his mouth "Ahhh" he mumbled casually. Yera looked a bit confused so she clarified, "You want me to feed you with my beef? But I used the spoon already. Wait give me your spoon¡­" Xander''s mouth twisted, unsure if he would laugh or cry¡­"Yes darling feed me with your spoon. We already kissed several times so I don''t see the point why not use your spoon on me instead." he murmured with a sullen look. Yera was caught off guard and Xanded did make a point. ''I guess I''m slow and silly?'' Yera thought to herself silently before she chuckled and commented, "How old are you Mr. Xander Yang? Geez you act like a teenager." She got him a spoonful from her meal as she teasingly said, "Oh here, baby Xander, open wide, go and take your food¡­" Xander opened his mouth and took the food in, ignoring Yera who shook her head as she gave him a disbelief look when he opened his mouth once again for another request of her meal. And she blinked her rounded eyes several times when Xander got her a spoonful of his meal too and gestured her to open her mouth. Yera felt she would look awkward so she shook her head in rejection. "Are you disgusted of my saliva?" teased Xander as he acted hurt. "Of course not! I won''t kiss you if I am." defended Yera. She could not believe how childish they both looked at that moment. But then, she did not know what had gotten into her that she suddenly opened her mouth to accept his spoon with pork and rice. Xander winked at her as he readied another spoonful of rice and pork for her. Yera ended up being fed by Xander until the end. ¡­.. Yera left to work as soon as she was done eating. Xander, on the other hand, was grinning broadly on his own. Yera was so obedient at him lately. "Does it mean that she''s already falling from me?" he mumbled, full of hope. But then scolded himself because he was thinking in advance. Not that he did not want to expect but of course he did not want to get impatient at the same time. Xander noticed Yera was too cute since he arrived. Cute because for him her simple gestures toward him were all cute and thoughtful. His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his mobile phone and it was Rui. "Alright¡­ Stop complaining and you can go back now. Attorney Sy will handle everything. He will arrive there by tomorrow so stop whining you lazy bum. By the way, I will treat you as soon as you''re back. Just name it¡­" Xander said laughing before he ended the call. "Geez that guy has no woman so how come he''s in a hurry to come back," he mumbled as he went over the report sent by Ralf with regards to the progress of Yera''s case. He had his people to make a discreet investigation on various incidents Yera encountered as she grew. Xander did not believe in jinx¡­ He was certain that there was more to it unless things really happened as an accident¡­ Though accident only happened because of negligence or carelessness of any among people involved in it. He would do anything so no incident would ever occur to Yera, not this time since she already have him. He would protect her at any cost. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 72 - Assistant Yera did her usual rounds to check her inpatients. She entered the private room of Ms. Terry Lim, one of the patients she had an operation recently. Inside the room was her granddaughter which she recalled with a name Rizie. The head nurse gave her the patient''s chart then she checked Mrs. Lim thoroughly as she gave further instructions both the nurse and the guardian. Rizie smiled at her in admiration and said, "Dr. Song, our family owes you a lot¡­ I heard from the nurses that you''re looking for an assistant. Maybe I can apply." Rizie knew she was overqualified for the position, but she would want to get close to Dr. Song for an unknown reason. Her gut feeling told her that everyone in her family would be safe if she worked at a hospital with Dr. Deyna Song. She had heard a lot about her, and moreover, Rizie could tell that Dr. Song was a kind person. "Oh, that''s so nice of you, Rizie, but I think you are overqualified for that position," said Yera, smiling. She knew about Rizie because she was Keira''s sister-in-law so it was given that the latter had a good qualifications. "It''s okay, Dr. Song, I would like to do it anyway. I may have a good degree, but I don''t know what I should pursue in life yet. I have nothing to do besides helping my family around the house, and I''m quite bored of it. So, I would like to try this out." It was true. Rizie wanted to become a model before, but she decided that she did not like it after a month of trying. Just like her twin brother Josh, she graduated from a prestigious business school, but helping her brother with their family business had also bored her. Her sister would often scold her for being such a fickle person because she kept changing her mind about what she liked or wanted. She could not keep an interest for more than a month. Then she remembered about the handkerchief, so she asked, "Dr. Song, do you perhaps know a doctor here, whose name is Rui Dee?" "Oh yes, he''s one of our psychiatrists¡­" Answered Yera. The two women''s chat was interrupted by a man entering the room. He was wearing the same eyeglasses as the man who had given her the handkerchief. "Oh, this is Dr. Dion Chen. He will be monitoring your grandma when I''m not around," Yera introduced Dion. Rizie smiled at him while the man only nodded and stared at her with a timid expression. She frowned when she saw him staring at her. Dion recognized the woman who sneezed at his precious handkerchief. ''Didn''t she recognize me?'' He mused as he stared at her who acted like she met him for the first time. Dion''s thoughts were interrupted when Dr. Song gave him further instructions about the patient. He would like to ask the woman about his handkerchief since his mother particularly gifted him that but the woman left as soon as another guardian of the patient arrived. Maybe later once they crossed paths once more he would mention it. ......¡­. Rizie''s mother had arrived, so Rizie excused herself out of the room so she could return the handkerchief to its original owner. Rizie quickly found Dr. Rui Dee''s office, and his assistant greeted her and asked if she already had an appointment. Rizie signed up as a new patient because she was a bit shy to go in just to return the handkerchief. The assistant told her that she usually would need an appointment with Dr. Rui, but a patient had coincidentally and conveniently canceled his appointment just a bit earlier, freeing a spot for Rizie. It was time, and Rizie entered Dr. Rui Dee''s clinic and could finally see him clearly in person. Her jaw dropped, and she felt her world stop. The man was very handsome. "Yes, Ms. Rizie Lim, how can I help you?" He asked, smiling as he signaled her to sit down. Rizie''s face paled as she recalled how she had morbidly sneezed on his handkerchief in front of him. ''Forget the handkerchief!'' she chided herself as she pretended to be a patient. She was telling Dr. Rui Dee about her problem of easily getting bored of things... "Hmmm, I don''t think you have a problem. I mean, you''re still young. Just twenty-two years old, so it''s not weird that you haven''t found something that you really like. I believe that you will soon find the things that you really like. Keep on trying out new activities, and eventually, you will find something that you enjoy doing¡­" explained Dr. Dee as he gave her more advice on how to find out what she really wanted to do with her life. All throughout the session, Rizie was not actually listening. She kept staring at Dr. Dee and kept getting distracted by how good-looking the doctor was. She had never thought that there would come a day where she would admire someone as quickly as this. The session ended without Rizie returning the handkerchief. She was suddenly getting all fired up by the thought of working as Dr. Deyna Song''s assistant, in order to work at the same hospital as Dr. Rui Dee, her Mr. handkerchief. ......... Yera was too surprised to see Rizie who was waiting outside the waiting area of their department. "Oh, you''re looking for me?" Yera asked. Rizie nodded with a sweet smile and said, "I brought my credentials Dr. Song." Yera did not expected Rizie to apply the same day because she mentioned her intention just this morning. "Hmm, let''s grab some coffee Rizie¡­" Yera offered as she led the way at the hospital cafe on the first floor. Yera checked the folder Rizie passed her while they waited for their orders. But then she folded it back and looked closely at Rizie. "Are you sure you want to become my assistant? Because it''s not a simple work Rizie. You will need to work for me not just about the hospital stuff but on personal matters too." Yera explained. She did not need to check Rizie''s credentials further because she already had Rizie''s profile provided by Assistant Ron that she asked the moment she went out on her grandmother''s private room. Rizie had a good background and from an upright family. Her brother was a resigned General that was Keira''s husband so she knew Rizie at most could be trusted. Those who were after her with bad intention would not be able to corrupt the kind of Rizie. "Alright, you can start with me once you''re ready. I''ll have you as my assistant. You can always tell me once you feel the work doesn''t suit you alright?" "Ohhh thank you so much Dr. Song. Don''t worry¡­ You''ll not regret hiring me. I will make sure that I''ll be a big help for you Dr. Song." Rizie murmured excitedly. She liked Dr. Song, for some reason, she felt that the two of them would become good friends despite the age gap. But Yera still needed to test Rizie before she could fully trust her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Why are you not coming home at all?" asked Senior Yang as soon as he entered Xander''s office. He was with Butler Gary who had two paperbags of the herbal supplements, the same supplements he had provided the couple with in their home. "I want to make sure that you two will not skip drinking this at work. Butler Gary go and put all that at Xander''s fridge." he instructed Butler Gary before he sat comfortably at Xander''s couch. Then he added, "Also, Butler Gary don''t forget to give instructions at secretary Ness, assistant Ron and that new assistant of Yera about this herbal supplements. They should not skip in taking it." "Where is my daughter-in-law?" asked Senior Yang afterwards as he shifted his gaze to his son. He could not believe how workaholic the couple were! How about his future grandchildren?! If the couple would continue to go on like this he was afraid it would take a long time to fulfil those dreams of his. "I will send her a message that you''re here. I''m sure she will get here soon dad¡­" Xander replied as he sat in front of his dad while he tried to call Yera but ended up sending her a message because the latter was not answering. He appreciated the hard work of his father. Moreover, it was more like he was supporting his father''s aggressive act like this. "Son, are you sure you did things right during the honeymoon? I mean you''re a doctor so you should have the knowledge with correct timings. I even make sure that those dates were the exact dates Yera is fertile." commented Senior Yang with a sigh. He had Yera''s menstrual cycle checked and arranged the booking dates according to Yera''s fertile days. Xander coughed followed by a gulp¡­ He and his father''s relationship were more than of a father and son because his father was his best friend too that he would not hide anything from him, his father was his number one buddy. He knew everything except for only one thing - the contract between him and Yera. If his father would find out about the contract he would be doomed¡­ "Son, Yera is the only woman for you and your only cure if I must say. I know you love her too because I can see it in your eyes so seize this opportunity and make your old man happy. You know I only ask for one thing from you and nothing more." Senior Yang reiterated. It was true, Xander''s father never asked him of anything. He was always supportive towards him since he was young. Whatever goals he pursued to, he would always be there to cheer and encourage him up. However, he was persistent in asking him about grandchildren, saying he was getting old and it was his only wish, more on, only request from him. Of course, his father was aware of his disorder that was why his father even jumped out of joy when he told him that his little buddy finally reacted to a woman. "Son?" Senior Yang waved his hand in front of his son when he noticed Xander was in deep thought. "Oh yeah dad, don''t worry okay? Just be patient¡­ I will work hard on it I promise to you that I will work harder for that grandchildren. How about three boys and three girls?" said Xander smiling at his father with a wink. Senior Yang''s face lit up at the thought that his son was successful during their honeymoon days as he said, "Yeah I love it son¡­ Three grandaughters and three gandsons will be awesome. I will prepare and have a renovation to our mansion soon. I want my grandchildren to have their own indoor and outdoor playgrounds¡­ Hmmm I should contact our architects soon¡­" Xander shook his head as he looked to his father with wonderment. His father was thinking way ahead right but he liked, he loved it. He was lucky to have the best father in the world. ..... Unknown to Yera, she was the center of bantering inside the office of the Department of Surgery because of Dr. Ye who almost informed everyone that Deyna would soon become the ''darling'' of Dr. CEO. They assumed that Yera would be the next apple of the eye of the Yang Hospital group heir. "It''s because she''s popular now so she captured Dr. CEO''s eyes," commented Dr. Rio, bitterness were all over her tone. "Nah¡­ I must say Dr. Song is the prettiest, she and Dr. Yao both are the hospital''s belles. Just that they have different personalities, like water, one is hot and one is cold. Dr. Yera is a bit stiff and strict while Dr. Yao is the opposite." Dr. Ye remarked. He would like to¡­ well he was on the process of hinting at Dr. Song but then Dr. CEO declared ownership and clearly marked Dr. Deyna Song. Dion on the other hand, was quiet but a smug formed in his handsome face as he recalled how Dr. Yang gave heavy and deep emphasis in the word ''darling'' and he was not that dense not to get Xander''s signal. He was the person who answered Yera''s phone when a man with a caller ID ''My Darling'' called. "Silly," he mumbled as he shook his head and continued to review a patient''s case in his laptop. But then paused for a while as he sighed. He saw another one behind Xander, that one he saw was the same that he was seeing occasionally with Yera. "Weird¡­" Dion murmured as he shook his head. That was the first time he experienced something like that. He wondered if it had some significant meaning but he would not want to ponder more. Being someone with a third eye like him was simply heavy enough for him to handle¡­ Someone considered it as a gift but not him¡­ He was not sure either if it was a curse or a gift... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"Noted Dr. Song." answered Rizie smiling as she jotted down notes. She was too excited for her new job and she made sure to study how she could be a good assistant and a secretary to a physician like Dr. Song. Yera smiled at her and said in a jest, "Hmm, I hope you stay with me Rizie for a long time." She knew Rizie''s problem about easily getting bored with things that was why until now Rizeie was not sure what she would want to do with her life. She had no goals at all and Yera appreciated Rizie''s honesty. At first, Yera was a bit shocked when Rizie opened up to her like. Rizie was a straightforward person and was like an open book. She was too innocent and honest on saying things and giving her opinions. She was someone who would not care about what others might think of her as long as she could express herself well. The description of ''what you see is what you get'' best described her and Yera liked it. Rizie gave her a bashful smile as her cheeks turned rosy pink. "Hmm¡­ I hope so too Dr. Song," Rizie sincerely commented. Yera''s clinic would start to receive outpatient by tomorrow. She would open her outpatient clinic for two hours every weekdays but not on weekends since it would be her rest day if there were no scheduled or emergency operation for her. She was chatting with Rizie when she suddenly remembered to check her phone which she put on silent mode a while ago during her operation. Her eyes rounded seeing several missed calls from Xander then she quickly opened her inbox and read Xander''s message informing her that father-in-law was waiting for her in his office. Yera immediately bid Rizie farewell and before she could leave from the door, Butler Gary already arrived in her new clinic with paper bags of the herbal supplements, the same one her father-in-law put in their room. Yera gulped, it was the supplements father-in-law would always remind her to take. "Young Miss, please go to Young Master''s office. Old Master is waiting for you. Is she your new assistant?" Butler Gary said smiling as he put the paper bags on the table. Rizie was a bit confused hearing word like father-in-law because if the social media she checked was not wrong, it clearly stated that Dr. Deyna Song was still single. "You''re the new assistant of our young Miss right?" Butler Gary asked and Rizie nodded. "I will give you instructions for these supplements and please make sure that young Miss take it without fail as instructed by her father-in-law." said the old man to Rizie who by then looked at Yera totally surprised as she asked, "Oh gosh you''re married?" Yera nodded awkwardly as she said, "I''ll explain it to you later but for now keep this a secret. No one must know about it. I''ll go now and talk to you later Rizie" Rizie nodded as she watched Dr. Song who almost ran out outside the clinic. ¡­.. As Yera walked towards the hallway, she noticed some nurses and even doctors would particularly give her a long glance. ''Weird¡­'' she mused because it never happened to her before, no one would cast a long glance at her as if scrutinizing her from head to toe like now. Not that she was conscious but somehow she was uncomfortable. She saw Shaira, their department''s secretary along the way who greeted her with a teasing smile. Yera felt something was wrong so she stopped walking and turned around to call Shaira. The secretary quickly walked towards her and said teasingly, "Yes DARLING!?" Yera''s forehead crumpled as she asked, "What''s going on?" Something was off and she could feel it. Shaira was among the top five of the gossip mongers in the hospital according to Dr. Ye and he even emphasized that if she needed any hotline news inside the hospital she should ask Shaira. "I guess you''re not aware yet but you''ve been marked, like an exclusive territory." Shaira said chuckling. "What?!" Yera burst out as he heart raced. ''Could it be that someone discovered about me and Xander? Who was that? And how did they come to find out?'' she mused nervously. She made sure no one was around whenever she would sneak at Xander''s office beside she was never seen with Xander alone so how would someone know about her? All persons who knew about her and Xander''s relationship signed the confidentiality agreement even the security team in the hospital. It was a ground for termination and they would get sued so she was sure no one would even dare to open their mouths and spurt things about her and Xander''s relationship. Shaira seemed to read her expression as the latter shook her head and said, "You looked confused ''DARLING''!" Shaira was chuckling then told Yera everything that happened as to how Dr. Ye narrated everything. "So now you know? Hmm, actually we are all excited to see how Dr. CEO will pursue you because you''re kind of different to all the women who got link with him. I mean you''re the first doctor and a bit hmm¡­ It''s like he will need to woo you for long." commented Shaira, with slight hesitation. Yera had a blank expression but deep inside she was flaring, itching to run and smack Xander''s head at that moment. ''Geez¡­'' she cried inwardly. She wanted a peaceful workplace and as much as possible she wanted to stay out of gossip like this because it would affect all her plans especially her transfer at Life Globals group. Her marriage with Xander must not be disclosed nor even a simple relationship with him must be prevented. Shaira twitched her mouth seeing the irritated face of Dr. Song as she turned around and left. "Oh crap I guess we should not expect romance soon but expect a riot instead?" she mumbled as she hurriedly went back to their department to cascade another soon to be trending topic amongst the employees inside Yang Hospital. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 75 - Childish Yera stopped for a while to inhale and exhale loudly before she opened the door and entered Xander''s office. As soon as she was inside, a warm and tight hug from her father-in-law caught her off guard that helped to cool down her irritation towards Xander. "Look at my daughter in law. I bet she''s not even sleeping properly with those dark circles in her eyes. What are you doing Xander? How dare you not to take care of your wife properly!" Senior Yang exaggeratedly hissed to his son as he loosened the hug and took a proper look at Yera. Then Senior Yang stared at Yera as he shook his head and added, "I can''t believe how careless and thoughtless my son is. Oh daughter, I understand that you''re working hard to gain that name and so you can get the interest of Life Globals group but then I think, at this point, it''s no longer necessary since they already tried to pouch you. So please lay low on doing operations everyday. Also that herbal supplements, make sure to not miss on taking it or else this old man will feel sad and neglected." Yera felt touched with her father-in-law''s careful consideration and thought for her that made her release a warm and genuine smile. "Yes father¡­ I will not miss taking the supplements. Thank you so much." she said in her most touched voice. "That''s my daughter. I understand your sentiments but health is important. In order to nail success in every goal, one should prioritize health first because what''s the sense of achieving something if you''ll get sick along the process?" Senior Yang explained more. Xander watched Yera who looked so warm and yearning¡­ Yes he could clearly saw yearning in Yera''s eyes and facial expressions. His wife yearned for a familial love and he was glad that she could get it from his dad. He watched as the two talked more while they sat on the couch. After a while, Senior Yang stood up and bid farewell to the couple. "You don''t have to walk me out son." said Senior Yang when Xander stood up to walk him out. "You two stay in here for a while and spend more time together okay?" Senior Yang teased with a wide grin. He even made an okay sign with his hand before leaving Xander''s office. Outside, he saw assistant Ron and secretary Ness who slightly bowed to show respect. He paused in front of them and instructed, "Make sure no one would disturb those two whenever they are together inside. Alright?" The two looked at each other before they answered in unison, "Noted Sir. We''ll do!" Senior Yang walked but paused once more and turned around as he added, "Also make sure those two won''t miss those supplements okay? If you two forgot any of my instructions you will not get extra bonus from me." The two immediately nodded and said, "Yes Sir. We will take note and make sure to comply!" ......¡­ As soon as her father-in-law left Yera turned around to glare at Xander. Her narrowed sharp eyes almost killed him on the spot that Xander was taken aback as he murmured, "Why are you killing me Darling?" Yera''s eyebrows raised as her eyes enlarged this time as she hissed, "Darling?! Huh Darling? Are you aware that everyone now was looking at me from head to toe like I''m a specimen under a microscope?!" Xander came to know at that moment what was the cause of Yera''s fiery glaring. For a second, he wanted to hide because he knew how important it was for Yera not to disclose even a tiny hint to others about their relationship. But of course, he was Xander Yang. No fiery glances, no sharp piercing eyes and not even those burning anger or irritation would beat his shamelessness in any way. He quickly closed the gap between him and Yera as he encircled those firm and strong arms of his on her waist before he pouted his lips and said, "I did not say much¡­ Well I did say something but that was too vague. I mean everyone knows I''m a playboy so they won''t take it seriously. Besides, it''s just a slip of tongue¡­" "Slip of the tongue?! Xander do you know that lying is bad?" Yera exclaimed. Xander pursed his lips and murmured in a helpless tone, "Alright, it''s not a slip of the tongue. Sorry darling¡­ It''s because my purpose is to really mark you as mine alone so no one would dare try to hit on you. You are very beautiful and the most gorgeous doctor so can you blame me If I turn out to be somewhat like this? A bit possessive?" "You should know that I''m really disappointed¡­ What you did is a childish act!" Yera scolded. She could not believe it. One wrong move and Xander could almost jeopardize everything. Xander did not let go of Yera as he heaved a sigh of regret. Yera was right, he knew that so he muttered, "I''m really sorry Darling. Next time I''ll be more careful. Are you really that mad?" Yera blew air on her forehead as she rolled her eyes. Yes she was mad but for some reason, she was no longer that mad. She wondered if she did make any sense at all. She herself was too confused with her emotions. A while ago she was really annoyed but then looking at Xander''s expressive eyes and dropped shoulders like that somewhat took her annoyance away. She was on that state of weighing her emotions when she felt Xander''s lips landed on hers. That was unexpected in the middle of her scolding. While Xander was kissing her, Yera suddenly thought silently, ''Could it be because Xander is feeling inferior?'' Yera pulled out from the kiss and looked intently at Xander''s eyes before she said, "Promise me you won''t do anything like this again? You don''t have to mark me because I''m already yours. I told you, I like you very much." ''But I want to hear you love me!'' Xander wanted to voice out loud instead he bit his lip and scolded himself for being childish. "Yes, I promise¡­" he mumbled but at the back of his head he was hoping that Dion already got the signal he sent so he would no longer make any childish things in the future, though he did enjoy being childish at times. Especially if Yera would keep on restating how much she liked him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"Dr. Song, today you have a lunch meeting with the CEO of Life Globals group." reminded Rizie at Yera as soon as they were done with the last outpatient for today. Yera looked at the wall clock. It was still early so she intended to pass by at Xander''s office to inform him since she forgot to tell him that her meeting with Lnydon was today. Yera stopped by Xander''s office but Xander was not around so she decided to leave and meet Xander at the thought of sending him a text message instead. "Why do I feel that there''s something fishy," she mumbled as soon as Dr. Song left. Then Rizie creased her forehead at the thought of how mysterious Dr. Song in her eyes. She felt that the doctor was a very private person. She was actually curious why Dr. Song would meet the CEO of the rival hospital but she was in no position to ask further. Dr. Song did not even tell her anything about her marriage, well simple details such as who was her husband. She wondered who could be the doctor''s husband and why she wanted it to be kept a secret. Rizie yawned and decided not to think too much about it since it was not her business after all. Instead, she prepared to leave the clinic before she contemplated whether to make another appointment for Dr. Dee. But her mobile phone rang. It was her big sister who had asked her to meet and grab lunch together. ...¡­. Jam was sitting impatiently at the back seat of one of their cars when finally Lyndon''s car came out from the basement parking of the hospital. "Go and tail him!" She instructed with furrowed eyebrows. According to her dad, Lyndon was only busy on making Life Globals group prosperous and bigger and there was nothing else to get alarmed with. "Busy my foot!" Jam mumbled irritably. She would not buy that at all because as a woman she could feel that Lyndon was having an affair! He was obviously avoiding her! Before, Lyndon would never miss a single appointment set with her whether he was busy or not. ''Appointment?!'' She mused sarcastically with twitched mouth. How ironic that she, as a fiancee, needed an appointment with him just to spend time with him. Jam wanted to cry out loud! She herself could not understand why she still loved the man despite the fact that her love was never reciprocated. She simply could not let him go. ...¡­. Coincidentally, Rizie''s big sister wanted to meet her at the same restaurant where Dr. Song and CEO Lyndon Chu would meet. Her Big Sister Lyra wanted to try to eat there and was craving for the food they were serving in that restaurant. "So how''s your new job?" asked Lyra smiling as soon as they settled in one of the private rooms of the restaurant. "So being pregnant will make you drool over food like that? I can''t believe that a woman who was so conscious over her body will order as many food like that!" Rizie commented in awe after she heard the dishes her big sister had ordered to the waitress. "Well you have to treat me since you finally decided to work and of course you will soon become an Auntie." Lyra uttered as she smiled at Rizie with a wink "Geez! What a stingy sister!" Rizie murmured. "Shh just enjoy our food later!" Scolded her big sister. In the middle of their lunch, Rizie wondered how was the meeting between Dr. Song and the CEO of Life Globals group from the other side of the room was going. For sure that CEO Chu would try to convince Dr. Song to transfer at Life Globals group. She pondered on how how great the Life Globals group would offer... After an hour Rizie and Lyra finished eating and went out of their private dining room, they were on their way at the open parking lot when Rizie saw Dr. Song with CEO Lyndon Chu who probably walked Dr. Song to her car. Dr. Song noticed her and smiled at her so Rizie walked towards them and greeted Dr. Song back. "My big sister ask me to go here for lunch," Rizie explained and Dr. Song nodded. Rizie introduced her big sister Lyra but they were all started when a woman approached them. Her face was too pale as if she had seen a ghost as her wide eyes stared at Dr. Song. They heard CEO Lyndon Chu whispered, "Jam?" The woman ignored CEO Chu who held the woman''s arm to take her away but the woman abruptly pulled her arm and walked towards Dr. Song. "Yera? You''re alive?! Is this for real?!" The woman exclaimed in disbelief. "Jam it''s not her. Let''s go¡­" They heard CEO Chu said as he tried to pull the woman once more but this time the woman looked hysterical and harshly grabbed Dr. Song''s arm assoon as she escaped CEO Chu''s grip. "How come you''re alive?! You bitch!!! Why can''t you just stay in your grave!!!" Shouted the woman. Rizie was fast and stayed at the middle as she tried to protect Dr. Song from the crazy woman who seemed out of her mind and was about to attack Dr. Song as she struggled from CEO Chu''s grip. "Jam stop it! Don''t make a scene for goodness sake! She''s not Yera! Let''s go and I''ll explain things to you!" exclaimed CEO Chu in his angry voice. "What is this?! Are you two fooling me around all this time? Do you think I''m stupid?! She''s Yera Han!!! Look at her closely! Those eyes won''t lie!!! She''s Yera Han!!!" Jam shouted hysterically. She knew well Yera''s eyes because she hated those damn eyes since they were a child. The woman was definitely Yera Han! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"Sir should we butt in?" asked his man on the other line. "No! Don''t. Yera can handle that. Just monitor everything and keep a good distance. You already called the police so let them do the job." instructed Xander with pursed lips. He received Yera''s text message and as he promised, he controlled himself and no longer followed her like he did the first time together with Rui. "Sir, the police is already at site¡­" Xander sighed and ended the call as soon as he heard it. Then he called one of their attorneys to assist Yera at the police station. Xander hated this kind of thing where he should do things in the shadow. He wanted to personally appear and be beside his wife however, he knew it would be unwise to do do. Yera wanted justice for her family and wanted to take back everything that was robbed from her. He would need more patience to make sure Yera succeed because her case was very complicated. They needed solid evidence and must find the real culprit behind it all. He was startled by his own thoughts when his intercom rang, secretary Ness informed him that Dr. Yao was already outside so he instructed secretary Ness to let the doctor in. "Good afternoon Dr. CEO. I will just give you suggestions for the retreat based on the survey we did." Dr. Yao said smiling and seat on the couch as gestured by Xander. Xander nodded as he sat in front of Dr. Yao and check the folder she brought. Every year their hospital was conducting team building retreat by batches for all hospital employees. "By the way, you don''t have to bring this." said Xander. Dr. Yao smiled seductively and said, "It''s okay, Chief Doctor Yong had an emergency so he let me to handle this." The Department of Pediatrics was the one assigned to handle the team building event for this year. "This looks good to me." Xander commented as he was about to stand up to get a pen to sign the paper so the department could proceed with all the arrangements. "Here¡­" Dr. Yao offered her pen to him. Xander refused and stood up to get his own pen because he had an exclusive pen for signing all documents. Dr. Yao looked around Xander''s office and stood up from her chair while Xander was signing the papers. She walked around and looked at each display. "The painting is nice." she commented. "Haha¡­ Are you memorizing my office structure?" Xander commented casually as he noticed how Dr. Yao seemed to be inspecting every corner of his office and he was not comfortable at all. Dr. Yao''s eyebrows flinched and quickly formed a sweet smile on her face as soon as she turned around to look at Xander. "Well, I admire your office Dr. CEO. It''s my first time going inside so I''m bewildered by how it looks. Very modern and high-tech I must say." Dr. Yao simply commented followed by a wink. "Thanks Dr. Yao. Here''s the documents," said Xander smiling as he handed her the documents. "Thank''s Dr. CEO. I will leave now." said Dr. Yao before she walked towards the door. Xander looked around his office as soon as Dr. Yao left. It was true that he had a very high-tech office. Not just his office but the whole hospital¡­ So it would be hard to be penetrated by terrorists. He heaved a sigh of distress.... Recently, he received an instruction from the Field Marshal to implement high security because of the threat the military discovered, and one of the said targets would be one of the big hospitals in the Capital City. .........¡­... Rizie was itching hard to know more to understand what had happened a while ago. She and her sister Lyra just got home from the police station and the first thing she did was to seek her laptop. She quickly typed the name ''Yera Han'' and searched it. "Oh my!!! Oh gosh!!!" she burst in shock as she covered her mouth with her palm. Her eyes were staring at the screen of her laptop in horror. "Was this even possible?" She murmured, still blown with the photos of Yera Han. She was a carbon copy of Dr. Deyna Song. No wonder the woman a while ago got hysterical. She read all the details and articles pertaining to Yera Han. She could feel the adrenaline rush running wild in her body. She was eager to find out more that she never left her laptop and seat for an hour of researching. She was good at it, tracking out everything at social media and other sites. "Physician CEO at Life Globals? Best surgeon? Kidnapped and killed?" she uttered as Rizie gulped. Dr. Deyna Song also could be considered as one of the best surgeons. Such a very impossible coincidence. Her excitement and interest grew. She felt everything was the same as those favorite drama series she was watching. "Could it be that she was the same person and was planning to take revenge?" she assumed as she started to put all the puzzles together like how mysterious Dr. Deyna Song. Then and idea suddenly came to her, she could easily use connection and find out about it like asking her sister-in-law Keira Chan. So Rizie dialed Keira''s number and started her speech by asking her sister-in-law to keep everything a secret between the two of them only. Rizie did not mean any harm at all to Dr. Song but the curiosity was killing her to find more about what happened to Dr. Yera Han. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Xander asked as soon as Yera entered his office. Yera nodded and sat directly at Xander''s couch and rested the back of her neck at the headrest of the couch while she closed her eyes. She took time inside the police station because they needed to calm Jam first. Jam did not stop calling her Yera even inside the police station. She kept on shouting and insisting she was Yera like a maniac. She was too hysterical that she had to receive a shot from the doctor to calm her cousin. "Liam said you did not pursue in pressing charges," Xander commented. He would want that Jam to rot for at least a month or more in jail for trying to attack his wife verbally. "She was shocked. It''s normal for her to go crazy like that. She''s obsessed to Lyndon since we were young. She finally have him but then I showed up. I''m supposed to be dead¡­" Yera muttured with her exhausted voice. Xander looked at Yera intently. Her eyes were still closed as if she was relaxing herself. Xander actually waited outside the police station, inside his car. He felt anxious as he waited until Liam, his Attorney, confirmed that Yera was fine. "That Jam, she''s your cousin right? I''m sure they will soon check on you," Xander commented as he walked to his wife. He stood at Yera''s back and put his hands at the sides of Yera''s head and gently massaged it. "Uhuh¡­" Yera answered. She felt Xander''s soft hands doing wonders in her head that Yera suddenly felt relaxed. He was giving her a head massage and it felt so good that she unconsciously bit her lip with her eyes still closed. Xander paused seeing Yera''s expression then followed was a silent curse because his mind was running wild because of her facial expression that looked sensual in his eyes. He could feel his little buddy awakened. ''What''s with you she was only biting her lip so why are you awake? Go back to sleep!'' he scolded as he stared at Yera''s lips. But he could not fight the urge to bend his head down and took those lips of hers wholly. Yera opened her eyes and she could see Xander''s neck. He was kissing her while he stood at the back of the couch. She ended up grabbing Xander''s hair as she answered his intense kiss. "Hmm¡­ You''ll hurt your back and neck if you''ll continue like this." Yera murmured in between kisses. "Can you call me darling too when we are the only one around?" Xander answered while he did not stop in sucking her lower and upper lips alternately while he was still at uncomfortable position. Yera frowned because Xander mentioned it out of nowhere. "Huh?" she murmured but she never let go of Xander''s hair as well. "I said call me Darling if you don''t want me to get head and back ache for not stopping.," Xander murmured. Yera contemplated because kissing like this was actually felt good as she continued to answered Xander''s lips with the same passion but she was worried about his uncomfortable posture. After a few more seconds Yera murmured, "Darling, stop and sit beside me." Xander immediately obeyed and sat beside Yera who rested her head on his shoulder. Then he heard her spoke, "Jam is not my real cousin by blood. Uncle adopted her¡­" Jam and her father were one of the prime suspects she was thinking responsible for everything. However, she needed solid proof. Xander listened well to his wife as Yera narrated about her family and her relationship with Jam. He smiled broadly, some would think he was slow in making progress on his relationship with Yera but for him he was in the right pace called, ''slowly but surely''. ......¡­. The next morning, Rizie had dark circles under her eyes when she reported at work. She was early and saw a man in his lab gown outside the door of their clinic. "Excuse me? How can I help you?" She asked. The man turned around and creased his forehead. "Oh it''s you," Rizie nonchalantly commented as she opened the door and let Dr. Chen in. "I''m the new assistant of Dr. Song." she said and asked Dion if he would like to have something. Dion shook his head and handed her an envelope instead. "Dr. Song was not around yet. She''s expecting this file." he said as he sat on the waiting chair in front of Rizie''s desk. "Uhm¡­ don''t you remember me?" Dion suddenly asked. Rizie rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I do remember. You''ve been introduced to me by Dr. Song. I''m not that old to have a memory gap you know¡­" Dion was startled with the woman''s straightforwardness, very different from that time when she was crying and looked very vulnerable and meek. "Oh by the way, you''re the only person I notice quite close to Dr. Song, do you know that she looked exactly the same as Dr. Yera Han, the previous CEO of Life Globals group that was kidnapped and killed?" Rizie suddenly blurted out as she sat on her chair. She was looking intently at Dion as if they were close enough to talk for a long time. "Uhmm¡­ I don''t meddle in other people''s personal affairs. My time is too important on nonsense things like that. Please don''t forget to give that to Dr. Song as soon as she arrives." Dion muttered before he stood up to leave. Rizie''s face crumpled and her mouth twitched as she irritably murmured, "So he''s saying that I meddle in other people''s personal affairs? And my time is not important because I ponder on nonsense things like that?" She released a long deep sigh. That doctor did have a point but her curiosity was killing her. "Geez such a sulky doctor! Such a snob." Rizie complained. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

I wish to spend more time with you guys. Oh Yera, we go to church every Sunday if you like, you can join us anytime?" said Senior Yang while they all ate breakfast. Xander had already mentioned this to her, though she was not obliged to essentially do so because Xander told her father-in-law respected her and wanted her to do things willingly. "Yes father, I would love to go with you," Yera answered cheerfully. She would honestly love it, going out with family. But then she needed to put on a mask, a cap and an eyeglass to hide her face so she mentioned her predicament to Senior Yang. "Oh yeah right, it''s okay dear no one will care¡­ hehe. They will probably think that Xander''s wife is a well known celebrity perhaps." Senior Yang jested with a bright smile. "Anyway, the two of you, do you have any plans for today?" Asked Senior Yang next. Xander''s eyes smiled as he anticipated his father to do another favor for him. He had actually asked Yera out but the latter had refused, fearing that someone might recognize her and see her with him. Xander saw Yera shook her head in reply to his father so Xander said, "I don''t have any plans for today too dad why?" "Let''s play golf then, son? And bring Yera with you too. You can wear your disguise so that no one can recognize you." Then Senior Yang shifted his gaze to Yera and asked, "Have you tried playing golf before dear?" Yera timidly shook her head. "Then Xander will teach you. Haha, this old man loves golf because I don''t have to use too much energy in this sport." said Senior Yang smiling. Then he added, "You will need to buy your outfit and clubs. Let''s play around 4:00 PM." before he shifted his gaze back at Xander and continued, "Son, accompany your wife and buy things she needs to be on the golf ground." ...¡­ "There! Darling you look great! I must say Butler Gary is good in buying this kind of things." commented Xander with a grin as he put the mask on Yera. Butler Gary had bought a cute mask with a print of kissing lips. Yera crumpled her face and was startled when Xander gave her a smack sounding kiss on her lips with her mask on. "There, since you''re asking desperately for a kiss so I must comply," Xandr teased before he quickly went out of the car and pulled Yera out, grabbing and clasping their hands together. "This feels awkward¡­" Yera whispered as they walked inside the shopping mall. Xander could bring her in a private boutique but it would be boring. He preferred going out where he could see a lot of people. Also, Yera was too introvert so it would be good for her to go out on crowded places once in a while. But of course, he made sure that the place they went to was very safe since there were threats of terrorism in their country. Xander entered an exclusive brand boutique where he would often buy his golf stuff from. The sales lady recognized Xander and quickly assisted him as she presented the best outfits for Yera. "Darling, go and try them. I want to see..." Said Xander smiling. He sat on the couch and checked his mobile phone as he waited for Yera to come out. He liked this part where Yera would fit everything and he would take a snapshot of every fitting. Yera went out and Xander''s eyes looked at her from head to toe. "Too revealing," he commented while he was busy taking snapshots of her. "Tsk, that mask is really awesome," Xander grinned. "Stop that!" Yera hissed as she went back in the fitting room to try other outfits. Her face crumpled as she changed clothes and went outside. As usual, Xander asked her to turn around before he said, "can you breathe on that darling?" Yera tried more¡­ She was getting irritated with Xander''s comments and obviously the bastard was enjoying his bullying. "That bully!" She scoffed irritably as she changed for another stylish and comfortable golf dress this time. "Tsk!" Yera hissed as the zipper at the back got stuck. She slightly opened the door and told Xander, "Get the sales lady." Xander knitted his eyebrows and walked towards her. "What''s wrong?" Yera rolled her eyes and said, "the zipper got stuck. Go get the sales lady." "Let me see," Xander muttered before he quickly went inside the fitting room. "Hey, get out! Why are you here? Call the sales lady you bully!" Yera irritatingly snorted. Xander laughed. "You''re so cute whenever you''re irritated Darling." he commented, still grinning as he pinched Yera''s cheeks. "Turn around and let me unziip¡­" Xander teased but Yera''s sharp narrowed eyes killed him on the spot so he corrected, "I mean zip it, Darling." "There," Xander muttered in his husky voice after he zipped it. Yera turned to face him and said, "No more fittings you bully! I''ll just get this." "Oh I already asked the sales lady to wrap everything. I''ll buy it all for you including the one you wear." said Xander smiling. Yera''s face crumpled. Xander noticed it and said, "Wait you look not pleased but the mask is covering¡­ This mask really asks for a kiss¡­" Xander removed the mask and as he suspected, Yera''s face could not be painted. His hand touched her face and gently caressed it as he whispered, "Why is it you look so beautiful in my eyes whatever you expressions are?" Before Yera could comment Xander bent his head and kissed her lips. "Yera felt her stomach churned. Xander was obviously seducing her at every opportunity he could get! His face continued to redden but this time not because she was irritated but because of flusteredness. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 80 - Victim Of Torture Yera thought playing golf was too easy, after all, how hard could it be to hit a little white ball with a stick? All you needed to do was to swing the stick. This thought evaporated first time as she stepped onto a driving range and attempted to hit that little white ball. But she was so wrong after several attempts of swinging without even hitting the freaking small ball! She reddened out of embarrassment when Senior Yang laughed out loud while he commented, "Why don''t you let Xander teach you dear?" Xander did offer to teach her but she kept on ignoring him because she was still irritated. Xander walked towards her and said, "My darling wife is very short tempered father." "Shut up," Yera mumbled as she concentrated on how to hit the small ball. Xander ignored her as he positioned himself behind Yera. He was too close as he leaned forward. "Stand with your knees and hips slightly bent," Xander whispered on Yera''s ears that sent shivers down every part of her body. Then she felt Xander''s hands on her arms. She did not know if she was just thinking too much but Xander seemed to be intentionally touching her sensually. Yera frowned and silently complained, ''Why do I feel like a victim of torture?'' She gasped when she felt Xander''s warm breath once more on her ear as he continued, "Bring your club back and parallel to the ground first." He was now touching her hand as he guided her. He was almost hugging her. She wondered if Xander was doing things intentionally because lately he never rested at all without being touchy with her. Xander continued to whisper, "Bring the club up at a 90 degree angle. Turn your shoulders to bring the club all the way up. That''s how you set your swing darling." Yera sighed, this time Xander''s cheek was brushing on her own cheek as he hugged her. "Now, let''s proceed on how to hit the ball. Shift your weight slightly to the other side as you swing the club down. Straighten your side facing the target as you make contact with the ball. Extend both your arms fully for the follow-through." as Xander lectured Yera was following it with Xander''s guidance. And there.... She swung and hit the ball¡­ Yera''s jaw dropped because the ball also went in the hole! "Ahhhhhh!" Yera shouted and unconsciously turned as she hugged Xander. She kept on screaming, "I did it! I hit the ball and shot it in that freaking hole!" Senior Yang was grinning as he watched the couple. "Father, I finally hit the ball and even shot it in the hole" Yera repeated cheerfully to Senior Yang who nodded. "Dear, golf is a game that can show you a lot about someone. One of the major things one can learn here is how you handle yourself on the course. It''s easy to be happy when you''re playing well, but shows character when you keep your cool if things don''t go your way." reminded Senior Yang smiling. Yera almost cut her tongue because she obviously got irritated at first for not being able to hit that ball several times. Xander was grinning as he pointed his index finger on Yera''s forehead in between her eyebrows and said, "Father always says to me. Enjoy the game and stay positive. Life''s too short to get mad over a game¡­" Yera''s mouth pursed. No wonder Xander was always positive. She suddenly felt envious about how lucky Xander was to have someone like Senior Yang as his dad. Yera did have a great time and enjoyed playing golf with Xander and her father-in-law who kept on smiling and laughing hearing the bantering of the couple. After playing golf the three had a wonderful early dinner together at a nearby restaurant inside a private room. "I remember how mom would always nag you whenever you ate pork a lot!" commented Xander when he noticed his father had ordered a lot of dishes. Yera laughed seeing how sour Senior Yang''s face turned because Xander started to nag him. She had seen a lot of photos of Xander''s mother in their room and also in the mansion and she especially liked that big family portrait of Xander when he was a young boy. "Yeah and now you boy, stop nagging! I have ordered those for the two of you. I will just take some small bites later," defended Senior Yang then he looked at Yera with a sudden glint of solemn and sad eyes that Yera noticed but then soon his expressions changed and she could see his smiling eyes once more as he looked at Xander and her together. "I''m sure your mom is very happy right now," Senior Yang suddenly commented. The world was big, but if two people were fated to be together then its size did not matter. It was a strange set of circumstances which brought the two together. He had not told Xander yet because he was hesitating. Xander loved his mother so much that he grieved for a long time after losing her. Senior Yang recalled how long Xander had locked himself up in his room, because he could not accept the sudden demise of his mother. "Father?" Xander said as he waved his hand in front of his father who seemed to be out of his mind. "Oh yes?" Senior Yang asked. "You''re daydreaming father." said Xander as he shook his head. "Alright, go bite the pork. Just a tiny bit later I will allow. Geez daydreaming of pork!" Xander teased. Senior Yang''s lips flinched¡­"You brat, I''m daydreaming of grandchildren! You''re not productive enough and very slow in action!" Senior Yang hissed that made Yera''s face blushed. She blinked her eyes several times as she watched the father and son bantering about babies. Yera was like, ''Hello guys¡­ I''m sitting right here, you know?'' She ended up laughing once in a while because of how funny the two men were. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

It was because of Yera''s assistant! How come he could not have lunch with his wife lately. "Are you there?" Asked Yera at the other line. Yera called him to inform him that she would accompany her assistant again at lunch. "Can''t she eat alone?" Xander asked. Yera laughed and said, "Hmmm¡­ No. She doesn''t have any friends yet in the hospital to accompany her so I join her for lunch whenever I''m free." ''What if she doesn''t find any friends at all to eat lunch with?'' Xander blinked several times as the thought crossed his mind. If that happened, he would miss a lot of lunch breaks with his wife. As soon as the call ended, Xander called out for secretary Ness and assistant Ron. "Sir?" Asked assistant Ron as soon as he and secretary Ness entered. Xander looked at the two and said, "You two¡­ start making a rapport with that Rizie and eat lunch with her. Or at least one of you take turn eating lunch with her. Make sure my wife is with me at lunch¡­" The two looked at each other before they nodded and answered, "Noted Sir." As soon as the two left, Xander''s mobile phone rang once more and this time it was his cousin Keira Chan... ....... Rizie looked at the handkerchief in her hand and released another sigh. She was having lunch alone and was feeling lonely as she was not used to eating alone. Dr. Song usually used to accompany her, but today she suddenly had an emergency operation for a patient and before they could order, Dr. Song had to run to the operating room. Even approaching Dr. Rui seemed complicated because the latter was always out of the clinic lately. She was inside the hospital cafeteria. She looked around and spotted Dr. Chen at a corner eating alone like her, so she quickly stood up and walked towards him. "Hello, may I join you?" Rizie asked, smiling broadly in front of Dion. Dion was startled and his face was crumpled. It was not because of Rizie of course but the bad spirit behind her that he wanted to throw a spoon on because he was caught off-guard. Rizie''s face darkened as she mumbled, ""What''s with you? I''m greeting you nicely but you''ll answer me with that vinegar face?" Dion thought Rizie was too offended that she would leave that instant but Rizie sat in front of him instead. Dion cleared his throat before he spoke, "I''m sorry¡­ It''s not you. I was startled by something at your back." Rizie knitted her eyebrows and turned around to look at her back while she commented, "My back? Something? There''s nothing nor no one." "Anyway, let me join you because I can''t eat alone." muttered Rizie liked she knew Dion for a long time as she began to eat. Dion stared at her and mused, ''What a care-free woman.'' Dion continued with his eating and he almost choked when he saw Rizie was using his precious handkerchief. Rizie noticed Dion was staring at the handkerchief she was using so she bragged, "Nice hanky right? This is not mine actually. This one was lent to me by my future boyfriend." "Brrr!" Dion spat the water in his mouth hearing that. "Ewww! You''re so gross Doc!" Rizie exclaimed as she looked at her food if Dion had spat on it. "Boyfriend?" Dion muttered unconsciously as his face reddened. "Yeah my future boyfriend. Hehe You know Dr. Rui Dee? I heard he''s still single. It''s because I''ll be his future girlfriend." Rizie stated nonchalantly with a smile as she began to narrate at Dion what happened. Dion was still caught off-guard on how the women talk too much. She was talking as if they were long time friends who did not see each other and she told him everything without hesitation. He was even unable to butt in because she was talking non stop. ''How come she did not recognize my face?'' Dion complained inwardly. Then he recalled the lab gown Dr. Rui lent him. So it was because of the lab gown. Dion contemplated if he would rectify Rizie''s wrong identification of who was the real owner of the handkerchief but Rizie''s words, "I''ll be his future girlfriend'', was too alarming that made him decide not to disclose the truth. He wondered who would want to have a girlfriend like Rizie who was a blabbermouth, definitely not him. He shook his head as he felt sympathy for Dr. Rui Dee. Rizie looked like someone who was ready for battle just to get Dr. Rui Dee under her gasp. ''I should remain quiet,'' Dion mused as he looked at the handkerchief his mom gifted him with lonely eyes. "The handkerchief¡­ Do you want me to return it to Dr. Dee instead? I mean I''m close with Rui." said Dion, trying his best to convince Rizie, that way he could have his handkerchief back and would tell Rui about it or maybe he should warn Rui also in advance about Rizie? Dion shook his head, he should not meddle, his handkerchief was his only priority. "No way. I''ll do it," Rizie muttered. Then an evil grin escaped her mouth when she asked, "So you''re close at Dr. Dee?" Dion gulped subconsciously and cursed silently seeing that smile from Rizie. He sensed trouble and he suddenly regretted how he clearly mentioned how close he was with Rui. It was true though because Rui was treating him like a friend, a family rather than just a patient. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Xander was deep in thought as he waited for Yera in his office. Yera should know that her new assistant was such a busybody. "Tsk.." Xander scoffed as he recalled how Keira had nagged him for not telling her about such important matters concerning Yera. Well, he deliberately didn''t do so because he was capable of handling the matter on his own. Besides, Keira''s father, his uncle-in-law, was the Field Marshal of the country and had more pressing issues that he had to handle. Their family already had enough on their plate, and moreover, Keira was pregnant. So she really should not be worrying about this kind of thing. Though Keira had vouched for Rizie, saying that Rizie could be trusted, it was still Yera''s call, and not his. Ralf had informed him that he had another lead on one of the suspects, mainly the leader, so hopefully, everything would turn out well soon. He already tightened Yera''s security, especially now that Jam had already seen her. Those who were involved in her abduction a couple of years ago would soon be alarmed. Xander was startled when the door opened. "Hey, Dr. CEO!!!" exclaimed Rui, who entered with a dim expression. "I will resign now and set up my own hospital to compete with you!" Rui declared as he sat on the couch, with his legs crossed comfortably. Xander grinned and murmured, "I''m sure that hospital would rank first from the bottom¡­" Xander stood up from his own chair and moved to sit in front of his friend. "What''s wrong with you? Before, you often asked me to have you dispatched to every corner of the world, and even volunteered to go to high-risk areas. And now, just from a simple handling of human bones, you''re already threatening to be my rival?" Xander asked, amused. Rui''s family was one of the wealthiest families in the country, but they also belonged to the most low-key and mysterious kind. You would not have an inkling of how abundant their wealth and power are, if you were not acquainted with them personally. They preferred to keep a low profile and were very private. Rui did not reply and instead released a long and desolate sigh. Xander immediately knew that something was bothering his friend, so he asked, "What''s your problem, Dr. Seer?" Rui pursed his lips upon hearing Xander''s mocking tone. Well, Xander had gotten it right. He was indeed troubled, so he answered, "You said you would treat me as soon as I got back, but you had not even bothered to see me." Xander laughed and stood up as he scoffed, "What are you? My wife? Get up, and let''s go out." As they walked through the hospital''s reception area, Xander saw Dr. Yao, who greeted him with a sweet smile as she walked past them. Xander smiled back and asked Rui, who was following behind him, "So, where do you want me to treat you?" He creased his forehead when he didn''t hear any response, and turned around. "Are you alright?" Xander asked when he saw how pale Rui''s face had become. "You know her?" Rui whispered, almost a gasp. Xander lifted an eyebrow as he said, "Yeah, she''s the new pediatrician. Why? What''s wrong with you? You''re making me worried¡­" Xander started to feel uneasy about how weird Rui was acting. "Don''t mind me. Let''s go to the usual place," said Rui. ''The new pediatrician?'' Rui puzzled. He could not believe it because he had never seen her in that kind of light before. A doctor? Is that a joke? Would a doctor be in that kind of place? And how the hell did¡­ Rui gritted his teeth and quickly dismissed his thoughts as he walked toward the hospital''s exit with Xander. But something was not right¡­ ......... Yera had just finished performing another successful operation, and her neck and back were really sore. "I need a massage," she mumbled as she headed to Xander''s office. But she halted her steps on her way there to search for the nearest spa in the area. "Hello, Dr. Song!" greeted Dion, who was about to leave the hospital. "Leaving?" Yera asked. Dion nodded and bid her goodbye, "See you tomorrow," He murmured. "Wait!" Yera shouted. Dion turned around to face her and asked with a smile, "Yes?" "Do you know if there''s any spa near here?" She asked him because she knew he lived at an apartment nearby. Dion''s smile broadened as he replied, "Yeah, near my area. Just a walking distance from here. Do you want me to show you the way? The massage is really good, and I''m also planning to get one right now." "Yeah, okay. Wait for me near the exit. I''ll just change my clothes quickly, and I''ll meet you there," Yera said, to which Dion nodded in response. Yera tried to reach Xander on his phone, but it was turned off, so she left him a message saying that she would go to a spa with Dion. She also sent him the address of the spa. ¡­. Yera and Dion went to the spa, and since Dion was a regular customer there, the employees already knew him and treated them exceptionally well. They were put in a separate room. The massage was so good that Yera almost fell asleep. But then, she felt someone pull a strand of her hair. "Oh, sorry, Madam, did I wake you up?" The masseuse apologized. "My hair¡­" Yera mumbled. "Oh, yeah, I''m sorry, but I saw a strand of white hair and thought I should pluck it out since it was really showing, and it doesn''t look well in your beautiful hair," explained the masseuse. Yera ignored her and relaxed her body more. After the session, Yera went out and saw Dion was already waiting for her in the reception area. "How was it?" Dion asked as soon as he saw her. "Oh, it was excellent. Funny, though, I guess I''m getting old¡­" She mumbled. As she was about to pay at the counter, Dion stopped her, saying that he had already paid for her. As soon as they were outside, Yera laughed and said, "I can''t believe I already have a sign of getting old." Dion chuckled and asked, "Why do you say so?" Yera then told him what happened with the masseuse when she was getting her massage earlier. "Will you be okay to go back by yourself?" Dion suddenly asked. And as soon as Yera nodded, he hurried back inside the spa, which puzzled Yera. But she didn''t think much of it and continued to walk back to the hospital, which was just a few blocks away. ''Maybe he forgot something?'' Yera wondered as she recalled how wary Dion''s face had become... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"You cunning bitch! Do you really think you can fool me? Deyna Song? Hahhh!!! You''re definitely Yera!" she mumbled inside her room. She quickly stood up and walked to her father''s study area. Jam was living a comfortable life, despite the fact that she was an adopted child and was a nobody. In fact, she was very lucky that she was loved dearly by her parents, both her father and mother loved her like their own, especially her dad. Her mother, Juliet, was the one who was a part of the Han family. After Yera''s father, the only heir to Life Globals group, passed away, they thought grandfather would give authority of Life Globals group to her father, who had always worked really hard alongside her Uncle Kanye, Yera''s father. However, it never happened. Instead, Grandfather trained Yera, since she was a kid, to give everything to Yera once the time came! Jam had witnessed it all, how downcast and disheartened her father had been then and it was also because of this that her parents had started quarrelling often. Her dad could not accept the fact that he was neglected while her mom would try her best to convince her father to trust her grandfather''s jurisdiction in the matter. Jam grew up with her heart full of hatred for Yera, because she felt that everything that happened was Yera''s fault. Her parents grew distant apart from each other, though they lived in the same house, because they could not agree on one thing, about the rights for Life Globals group where her mother''s loyalty remained with her father, Old Master Luke Han. She wanted Yera out of their lives, that was what Jam would often wish for earlier, because Yera was like a bad omen for her family. She was not a hypocrite¡­ She was glad Yera died¡­ ''But how come she came back like this? Why can''t she stay inside her freaking grave?'' Jam complained inwardly. ...... At Life Hospital "What''s this? Who ordered this?" Lyndon hissed to the doctors inside the laboratory. "Sir, it''s Madam Jam. She wanted the result for this test immediately. We are almost done with the testing" reported one of the doctors. Lyndon clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. As he expected Jam would not stop making a fuss about everything. "As soon as the result is out, no one will disclose the result to anyone including Jam! Give the result directly to me! And this is an order!" Lyndon instructed before he left the Molecular biology lab where the DNA Testing of Yera''s hair strands was being done. Lyndon inhaled and exhaled several times while he walked toward his office. Jam had really made her moves very fast. He too had thought to check if by any chance Deyna was actually Yera, but he was hesitating because he was afraid to find out the truth. He was afraid of how he would be able to face her if she was really Yera¡­ Lyndon helplessly sat down on his chair and opened his drawer to look at a photo frame that was always on his table before, in it was the picture very dear to him, his photo with Yera together. He missed her badly, so much so that, he could not stop himself from finding ways to see Dr. Deyna Song more often, because he felt like he was seeing Yera in her. He was so eager to get Dr. Song to work in his hospital that he had given her an almost impossible offer. If others would find out about this offer, they would think him to be crazy, but he did not care as long as Dr. Deyna Song would decide to join his hospital. Lyndon smirked at his t thoughts of how he often considered the words ''his hospital'' normal! Yes he was managing the hospital and held a majority of the shares and he was even sitting at the CEO and Vice Chairman position however, it was still Roy Go who owned Life Globals group as the Chairman. Roy Go, Jam''s father, who allowed him to become the CEO as soon as he accepted Jam as his fiancee. But this would end soon because he would make sure that ownership of the hospital would be in his hands very soon. Roy Go would end up with nothing once he completed his plan. He would not let others hold his neck that long, especially now. Lyndon then started playing the videos he had saved earlier with Yera on his mobile phone while they were playing chess¡­. //// "Stop that Lyndon and concentrate! How come you can''t beat me even in a simple game like this!" Yera hissed while he kept on recording and laughing on Yera''s serious and crumpled face. "Hon, how come you''re always so serious? Can you at least loosen up a bit? Smile for me and say ''Hi¡­ I''m Lyndon''s terror strict fiancee¡­'' Yera covered the camera with her palm that time but she smiled at Lyndon directly saying, "There see that smile? It cost a lot to be in the video. Very precious for anyone else to see! It''s better that I smile in front of you directly, so don''t record it, that way you''ll continue to ask for my smiles and I will keep smiling for you like this¡­" //// Unknown to Lyndon, his tears fell continuously from his eyes as he kept on replaying the video over and over again¡­ Then he murmured, "I''m really sorry Yera¡­" His heart still ached in pain. Everything was his fault. He was unable to protect Yera well. After a few more hours, one of the doctors from the DNA Laboratory went directly at Lyndon''s office with the result in his hand. "Sir.." the doctor mumbled as he handed the result to Lyndon. Lydon dismissed the doctor and just looked at the envelope for few minutes. He was curious but afraid to see the result at the same time. Lyndon exhaled loudly before he reached for the envelope and opened it. Lyndon''s face relaxed, seeing the result. He called the doctor back and instructed, "You can pass this report to Jam." As soon as the doctor left he picked up his phone and dialled a number. "As soon as Dr. Song joins in the hospital, cascade a rumour that a DNA test was done which proved that she is not Yera Han¡­" he firmly instructed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

His mobile phone ran out of battery yesterday without him knowing. Last night he arrived late and Yera was already sleeping soundly in their room when he reached home. He could only read Yera''s text messages next morning, but he could not ask how the spa was to Yera while they were eating breakfast out of the fear that he would sound nosey, since he had promised Yera that he would not be sulky when it came to that Dion Chen being close with her. Yera had reiterated about Dion to him as being a close friend she could have in her lifetime and she had also told that she considered the man almost like a brother to her. "She went to the spa alone with that Dion? Why do I still feel sulky?" he mumbled with pouted lips for not being able to accompany his wife instead. He missed an opportunity to be with his wife inside the spa. He still did not trust that Dion Chen. He should ask more about him from Rui since he found out that he was Rui''s patient too. He stood up and called assistant Ron. "Sir are you looking for me?" Assistant Ron asked when he was inside the office. "That was why I called you right? Of course I''m looking for you," answered Xander with a straight face. Assistant Ron gulped because the Boss seemed not to be in a good mood. "From today, double check the battery of my mobile phone every once in a while. Make sure it never runs out of battery." said Xander with crumpled face. "Noted Sir" assistant Ron answered simply before he got dismissed and left scratching his head. He did not dare remind his Boss about his earlier instruction. Assistant Ron let out a long deep sigh. Earlier he already did those things, checking Dr. CEO''s mobile phone battery but the Boss was not pleased about it, saying he wanted his battery drained most of the time so he would not be bugged by others after office hours¡­ Xander now called his security personnel, who was in charge of Yera''s security, and was aware that Yera went into the spa yesterday with Dion. "How come you did not inform me?" Xander hissed on the other line. "Sir, you said report only if there''s suspicious moves or possible dangers ahead," answered Jaimie on the other line who was in charge of Yera''s security 24/7. They did not inform the Boss about the spa since there was no danger nor suspicions unlike last time, during Yera''s encounter with the woman named Jam. Xander washed his face with his palm with irritation. How come his people were too dense? Didn''t they know that any man getting close to Yera should be reported? "Jamie¡­ Any man being too close with my wife is dangerous! Do I really need to elaborate it more?" he pinpointed with particular heavy note on the word ''man'' before he ended the call. Jamie rolled his eyes and wanted to bang his head inside the van that almost became his home as he was living in it for most of the day, monitoring Madam Yera 24/7 whenever she was out. Madam Yera knew she was being monitored since Boss Xander gave her full access with security. Madam Yera was the one who also instructed them not to report unnecessary matters to Boss Xander. Jamie was in dilemma whom to report to and what to report anymore. ''Those two¡­'' he mused before he instructed his men to now report also any man getting nearer the Madam outside. Xander''s sulkiness did not end there as he walked outside his office and was about to interrogate his friend Rui who was the reason he missed to accompany his wife since the latter pulled him out of the hospital. Well he would not interrogate but banter with Rui more often than not¡­ ...¡­.. Xander did not know whether to laugh seeing how full was his mobile phone''s battery that night while he waited for Yera inside his private room. He would sleep there with her since Yera was performing another operation tonight so she would not be able to go home at the mansion. It was already late and Xander''s eyes were almost heavy when he fet Yera''s presence inside his room. He did not open his eyes though and smiled on his own when Yera lay beside him on the bed. He could smell her familiar scent that never failed to invigorate all his senses. He did not move and remained still, waiting what would his wife do next. ''Ohhhh,'' he gasped when he finally felt her soft body brushed on his. Yera hugged him tightly. Her soft bosoms brushing on his arm while she buried her face on his neck. Xander could feel her warm breath as she murmured sluggishly, "Goodnight." Xander felt Yera kissed his neck as a goodnight kiss. And that was it, he could no longer remain still. He opened his eyes and moved his body sideways to face her. "Why are you only kissing on my neck? You should kiss my lips for a goodnight kiss. You should have known by now that you have married a demanding husband when it comes to body language¡­" Xander hoarsely complained before he moved his face closer to capture Yera''s opened mouth. "I thought you''re sleeping already¡­" Yera muttered with creased forehead as she looked at Xander intently. She was still panting from Xander''s breathtaking kiss. Xander chuckled as he gave Yera a nose to nose kiss. "Hmm, yeah I was about to go into a deep slumber Darling but you sabotaged it. You awakened the beast in me," Xander replied with his mischievous smile. Yera was startled when Xander suddenly moved on top of her. She could feel his hard erectness under his boxer shorts that was brushing on her lower body. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 85 - I Want You* Xander moved on top of her with his eyes penetrating deep into hers. "I missed you¡­" Xander whispered in his sexy voice before he sealed Yera''s lips once more. His lips were more demanding and urging this time. Yera was actually very tired after a day full of surgeries and she felt her energy was too drained out to even retaliate. "Hmmm," she moaned instead of pushing Xander away to tell him that they should sleep. Xander was kissing her in such an aggressive way that he did not register her mild protests in the form of moaning instead he delved deeper and tasted Yera''s lips like a candy that he was savouring for long. Yera was caught off guard and could not hide the fact that she was enjoying their skin to skin entangling despite her weary body. She loved Xander''s lips on hers, they were.so full and lavishing that never failed to tempt her. She could feel her stomach was turning upside down with the sensation his lips were sending to every nerve in her body. She could feel herself flaming up with desire. She bit her lips when Xander''s lips went down her neck while his hands moved on her body, touching every part of her body. Xander, on the other hand could feel how his wife was withering with his simple touch, he was rejoicing inside. He moved his hands more efficiently and very soon was able to pull up Yera''s shirt sleepwear. He kissed her once more while he removed her underwear so he could touch her private parts with his hands. All he could hear were Yera''s soft moans that aroused him more. ''Oh crap!'' he mused as soon as his hands touched her round and full bosoms. He never left Yera''s mouth as his tongue probed deeper inside, sucking her sweetness, his hands caressed her breasts and those pink hard buds. Yera was too drowned in the tingling sensation that Xander was continuously sending through her body. She bit her lips as she parted her legs unconsciously. Her body was too ready to accept him to take her and she wanted Xander to feel that. Xander''s lips left hers as he went down to attend to her protruding buds that were aching for his attention. "Hmmm," Yera gasped and arched her upper body as soon as Xander''s tongue licked it teasingly, the tip of his tongue was totally unmerciful, and Xander kept teasing her to the point that she had to plead, "Suck them¡­" Yera almost choked on her own words as soon as she realized what she just said. She was too embarrassed that her face reddened but she moaned because Xander quickly accommodated her request as his mouth sucked each nipple generously, making sure both her peaks were attended with either his hand or mouth continuously. Yera was too wet already with Xander''s careful playing. She moaned and arched her body with each of Xander''s movement towards down south and her mind went blank when she felt him reaching lower than her stomach belly button and he kept going further down. She was about to move but it was too late because Xander had already buried his head in between her thighs and she unconsciously grabbed his hair with her hands. Yera gulped when she felt the tip of his tongue trailing her folds. "Ohhhh¡­" she cried with pleasure. She had never experienced something like this before. Her eyes fixated at their ceiling as her body arched with every rough move of Xander''s when he sucked her and licked her. Xander was invading her most private parts. She could feel him licking her little knob at the center. She had a sensitive part there. Her head moved left and right while Xander sucked that knob. "Ohhhh it feels so good," she mumbled unaware that she had voiced it out that was supposed to be a silent comment. "You taste sweet darling¡­" She heard Xander compliment her. She did not even know that he could taste her there¡­ But it only heightened her cravings¡­ "Hmmm" she let out another moan when Xander''s tongue went inside her core. He was penetrating inside her with his tongue and it felt so darn good that Yera unconsciously moved her hips while his head was buried in her apex. Yera could no longer take it because she felt incompetent and wanted more. "I want you¡­" She was stuttering as she spoke those words. She pulled Xander up, her body was shivering with desire. Xander looked at her for quite some time and Yera could see hesitation in his eyes so she repeated, "I want you." She pulled his head to kiss Xander as her hand moved downward to hold his erect member but before she could touch it Xander moved his body down to suck one of her nipples while his hand touched her womanhood. Xander moved his fingers in circles on the outer folds of her womanhood building up the desires in Yera to kya peak... she was too wet and before she could register this feeling of getting played on her clit, Xander inserted one finger inside her deep cave as his mouth continued to play with her nipple. Yera was moaning in pleasure and arching her body every now and then... Yera thought her head would burst soon. No it was her body that did not know where to move because of Xander''s finger moving in and out inside of her. She could feel she would reach her climax soon. Suddenly Xander stopped the movement of his fingers and Yera was startled with his sudden stopping and looked at him questioningly¡­ Xander shamelessly said, "Darling¡­ Do you want me to continue? Call me darling and I won''t stop¡­" Xander murmured in his husky voice. He too was dripping wet already because his boxer shorts was also wet. Yera felt hypnotized and she no longer cared about her image in front of him, as she said, "Darling don''t stop.'' She never felt something like this before. Xander smirked and sped up the thrusting of his finger inside Yera''s tight opening. He could feel her muscles inside contracting. She was near her orgasm and after a few more seconds of thrusting Yera screamed, "AHhhhhh¡­" Her body convulsed as liquids went out pouring Xander''s finger that was still inside. Yera was panting, she was shivering before she mumbled, "I just had my first orgasm. I feel so sleepy¡­" Xander gave her a lingering kiss before he murmured, "Go to sleep darling." Then he quickly pulled back down her shirt sleepwear and put her panties back and hugged her tightly. Xander smiled and murmured into Yera''s ears, who was now breathing heavily, "I love you." ''What about me?!'' his little buddy complained with a cry. Blue balls? Not a problem as long as he could please his wife. He would not mind waiting more¡­ She wanted him but he wanted her to say she loved him. The word ''want'' simply was not enough for Xander to take her fully. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She woke up late and felt somewhat sticky. When she realised what it was, her eyes opened wide and she sat up on the bed. Her face turned deep red as she recalled all that happened last night. She looked around and heaved a sigh of relief seeing Xander was no longer inside the room. She quickly rose out of the bed and went directly in the bathroom to clean up and get ready for work. As soon as she was ready, Yera checked her mobile phone and as she expected, Xander had sent her a few text messages. [I did not wake you up because you looked so devastatingly beautiful while sleeping. I might end up locking you inside the room and keep you under me till night if I waited any longer!] Yera unconsciously blushed and opened another text message from Xander. [I will be out in a while to take care of some important matters. I will be back by lunch so we can eat lunch together inside my office. Please do the honor to choose our lunch darling. I love you¡­] Yera''s heart just melted with those three words that her cheeks kept on burning hot as she squealed inside. She even read those simple messages several times when her mobile phone vibrated and beeped at the same time. She blinked seeing it was another message from Xander. [Go and work now. Stop staring on your mobile phone and daydreaming about me.] Yera''s eyes widened in shock as she looked inside Xander''s private room and she almost fainted. Xander must have surely put a hidden camera somewhere inside his private room. Before Yera could call Xander, her mobile phone rang and she answered immediately seeing it was Xander. "What the heck? You have a hidden camera?" she asked directly. She heard Xander laugh at the other line. "Do you think it''s funny?" Yera hissed. "Of course not darling, it''s just that I''m imagining your beautiful irritated face right now and correction I don''t have hidden camera inside the bedroom. I mean why would I? No one even knows about the room but only the two of us besides no one would be able to enter inside but us." explained Xander. Yera sighed. She was just paranoid that she almost forgot how good Xander was with guessing and teasing like this. "I have to go now Darling. See you at lunch. I only called you because I missed your voice, and by the way, feed me with your hands later, I really worked hard last night¡­" said Xander before the call ended. Yera blushed and her cheeks became crimson red as the memories of last night again flooded her mind, but she was more shocked to see the level of shamelessness he had in him! Yera once again looked around the room and saw there was nothing. Another beep on her phone and again it was Xander. [Darling, stop looking around and go to work now. Don''t you trust me? I said there''s no hidden camera in there. *wink emoticon*] Yera''s face wrinkled as she typed her reply. Xander, on the other hand, was about to enter the meeting room when his mobile phone vibrated. He quickly looked at it and broadly smiled reading Yera''s response. [I WILL GIVE YOU A LOT OF BLUE BALLS LATER DUMMY!!! *angry emoticon*] "Should I get scared with that threat?" Xander mumbled with a grin before he totally entered the meeting room. He wished to send another message saying, ''I''ll be anticipating it Darling¡­'' But he controlled himself because Yera would surely kill him later with blue balls. Yera Han was capable of that because he was too weak when it came to her. ......¡­. Back at Yang Hospital, the doctors were busy talking about the coming team building retreat for all the employees. All Departments would usually conduct a draw for fair grouping of doctors because they all should not go at the same time, since the hospital was running for 24 hours. "Alright, this time there would be four batches for our team building retreat so pick you numbers from this box." said Dr. Rio as she handed the box to be passed out. "Chief Doctor will pick up numbers for those not present here. Shaira list out the names." added Dr. Kim. Yera picked up the number three which was same as Dr. Kim and Chief Doctor Gong. "Alright, this is for Dr. Chen." said Chief Dr. Gong as he picked up another number. "It''s two," said Chief Dr. Gong. "What?" Dr. Rio burst out because she too had picked number two. "Okay really I have nothing against Dr. Chen but I don''t want to be teamed up with him. Gosh, the whole day will end creepy. I want to relax," Dr. Rio complained as she tried to swap with other doctors but none agreed. Dr. Rio looked at the last hope she could have, Dr. Song. Yera exhaled loudly before she said, "Okay swap with mine. But none of you should tell this to Dr. Chen. Please be sensitive about his feelings. He did not choose to have that ability and we all know that Dr. Chen is a nice person." All doctors nodded but Yera particularly stared at Shaira who bit her lip and nodded unwillingly. Dr. Rio released a sigh of relief as soon as her number was swapped with Yera. Everyone was too excited for the upcoming team building retreat because the place where it would be held in was a private island. "I think it''s the most extravagant team building we could have right?" Dr. Rio commented excitedly as she looked at the pamphlet routed in each department where the activities were also indicated. It was a five days retreat with three days filled with activities and two days personal affairs for the employees where they could enjoy the place on their own. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Rizie said with dropped shoulders before the phone call ended. It was Keira, her sister-in-law, who informed her that the military was implementing strict security in the data so her request wouldn''t be accommodated as of now. Rizie pouted her lips and took it as a sign that she should stop and must not get too attached with the matter. "Hello Rizie," greeted Shaira with his widest smile at Rizie. "Yes?" Rizie asked, wondering what Shaira needed to pass by their clinic. Shaira sat in front of her as she mumbled, "Do you know where Dr. Song sleeps? I heard she never sleeps in the on-call room." Rizie''s eyebrows raised as she simply countered, "Why would you care about where Dr. Song sleeps?" Shaira was taken aback with Rizie''s straightforwardness and she said stuttering, "Well, I..I just g..got curious because all doctors sleep there whenever there''s late operation or emergency operation at night." "Ohh I see, so may be Dr. Song probably don''t want to sleep there. Anyway, I am going out for lunch now, so if you''ll excuse me..." said Rizie with a poker smile. She knew people of Shaira''s kind, those who did nothing productive but gossip about other people''s lives. "Wanna join us?" Shaira suddenly offered. Rizie saw Dr. Chen who, she presumed, would eat alone on his own. Shaira followed her eyes and commented, "Ohh that Dr. Chen is handsome right? But he is very creepy because of his third eye, most of us avoid him because of this." Rizie''s face became sour at that comment and said, "Well, I''m going to have lunch with Dr. Chen actually, so see you around." That instant Rizie stood up and ran to Dr. Chen. "Hello Dr. Chen. Let''s grab lunch together," Rizie cheerfully greeted and said as she walked with Dr. Chen to the escalator to go to the ground floor where the hospital cafeteria was located. "That secretary in you department is such a nosy body asking why Dr. Song do not sleep in the on-call room." Rizie mumbled as they walked. She did not add what Shaira told about Dr. Chen''s third eye. "How about you? Aren''t you being a nosy body too when you are comparing Dr. Song with that Yera Han?" scoffed Dr. Chen as they entered the cafetaria together. Rizie''s face twisted as she pursed her lips. But she did not utter a single word in her defense because she knew Dr. Chen had a point. She looked intently at Dion as they ate together. ''No wonder he was always alone.'' she mused when she recalled what Shaira said. Indeed it was creepy but Rizie had a soft spot for such an introvert people. She wanted to befriend quiet people and share her loudness with them for some reason. "Oh your ears are red¡­ You''re face too," Rizie commented teasingly. "Stop staring at me and eat your food¡­" Dion said casually. "By the way, will you help me out? I mean how can I get near to Dr. Rui. Wait can I call you Dion? I call my friends by their first name so it''s awkward to call you Dr. Chen when we are alone. I''ll address you as Dion since I like the sound of your name. Don''t worry I will still call you Dr. Chen in front of others," said Rizie without any pause. Dion stared at her dropped jaw as he muttered, "Are we friends?" Rizie laughed, ignoring Dion''s knitted eyebrows as she continued, "Yeah we are now friends. Treat me like one, since I noticed you''re always alone except for Dr. Song who is with you occasionally. I can be your friend here, so ask me if you need any help, advice or if you wish to be heard because I''m a good listener too, not just a good talker so just you know." Dion closed his mouth because he was speechless. He had never met someone who was as brazen as Rizie Lim. She was too straightforward that he felt that any single wrong comment could make him dig his own grave. Rizie smiled at Dion. She really felt great sympathy for him because having a third eye was hard. She remembered watching a horror movie where a girl even poked her eyes out to make herself blind and not see those scary spirits. "Aren''t you afraid of me? I see things not seen by others," Dion muttered trying to shoo Rizie away because he felt the latter would cause him trouble if she kept sticking with him. "Oh yeah. I heard about it but why should I be afraid? Those things don''t scare me. Honestly I feel my adrenaline running wild hearing stories about those things." murmured Rizie as she stared at Dion in excitement to tell her about his experiences. That was true she wanted to experience a lot of adventures in different things. Dion gave Rizie a weary face. He did make another wrong move. Almost everyone would get scared of him or think he was weird resulting in them to start avoiding him more often than not. He heard Rizie laugh as she mumbled, "Why do I feel like you''re more scared of me? Like you''re the one who wants to avoid me?" Dion coughed because Rizie exactly read his thoughts. He was scared because no one really accepted him with genuine heart like Dr. Deyna Song, she was the only one who really treated him nicely without bothering who he was. Dion let out a long sigh as he murmured, "Something really creepy is there behind your back¡­" Rizie''s face paled as Dion described it. He was trying to suppress his laughter because it was just a prank to scare her. Rizie almost jumped out of her seat to sit beside Dion. "I thought you''re not scared?" Dion ended up teasing with a smile. Rizie''s eyes rounded as she smacked Dion''s head. "What the heck!" she complained and she even hit Dion''s shoulders by spanking it several times. "Ouch!!!" Dion cried out but he was laughing. "Oh, it''s the first time I saw Dr. Chen smile. He looks so handsome." commented one of the cafeteria waitresses who noticed Dr. Chen''s bantering with the new employee. "Oh yeah it''s nice that he is no longer eating alone¡­" commented one of the cafeteria maintenance staff. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 88 - Be Careful "Dr. Song are you sure it''s okay for me to come?" asked Rizie and Yera rolled her eyes as she answered, "Rizie, I hate repeating words¡­" Rizie laughed as she commented, "Noted Doc. It''s because I''m still new here, but geez I suddenly feel excited seeing their pamphlet for the team building retreat. Yang Hospital is surely generous to their employees Doc. I heard Dr. CEO is still single Doc." Rizie had met him once when her brother Zach and sister-in-law Keira were rescued from an isolated island. Dr. Xander Yang happened to be Keira''s cousin too. Yera unconsciously flushed and Rizie noticed that so she teased, "You like Dr. CEO? Oh you two will look good together! He''s still single Doc." "Stop that Rizie," Yera bashfully murmured. Rizie stopped but her eyes kept on giving Yera teasing look. They were inside the hospital cafe having coffee and enjoying their little chats. "How about you Rizie? How come you''re single?" Yera suddenly asked. Rizie widened her smile as she proudly replied, "I will soon have a boyfriend Dr. Song. You actually know him." Rizie giggled while Yera''s eyebrows furrowed. "Who?" Rizie was still giggling as she said, "Take a guess Doc.Wait, I''ll give you a hint! He''s a psychiatrist." "Dr. Dee." said Yera nonchalantly. This time she was the one grinning because it was like Rizie intentionally did not want her to guess. "Wait¡­ How did you know?" said Rizie with rounded eyes. Yera''s face crumpled as she said, "I guess you did not search well. All psychiatrists at Yang Hospital are female. Dr. Dee is the only male psychiatrist." Rizie scratched her head before she sipped her coffee. Yera smiled as she looked at Rizie. Xander had already told her about Rizie trying to find out about Yera Han, but at this moment she was still hesitant to trust Rizie fully or maybe because she did not want Rizie to get involved in her fight because things could get really dangerous later, that she decided to not open completely in front of her. Rizie was actually not just a simple person. She was well versed in all kinds of self defense techniques, maybe because she had a General brother to learn from. Xander said Rizie would be the best candidate to assist her once she gets transferred to Life Globals group because no one would suspect someone like Rizie to be with her unlike hiring a female bodyguard who would pretend to be her assistant. Also, one advantage was because Rizie had a connection with the Field Marshal as her brother was the Field Marshal''s son-in-law so in that case alone, people who would try to harm Yera would definitely have second thought if an in-law of a Field Marshal was near her. "Doc are you alright?" Rizie asked seeing Dr. Song in deep thought. Yera smiled and said, "Yeah I''m alright. By the way, if you don''t mind, how did you come to know Dr. Rui?" Rizie smiled before she began to narrate everything non stop. Yera was actually enjoying Rizie''s company because she was like a female version of Xander. "Hmm, do you want me to introduce you to him?" offered Yera out of her good heart. Rizie blushed hard as she meekly said, "Oh, you don''t have to Doc. Actually I have already made some progress although I met him only once as a patient..." "Oh so you have already met him." Yera commented and Rizie nodded. Yera admired Rizie''s confidence because not all women would have the courage to take the first move towards the man they liked. "Excuse me Ma''am someone left this note for you," the waitress who suddenly approached Yera said as she handed her the note. Yera opened it and her face almost paled that made Rizie worry. "Why? What is it?" Yera composed herself as she managed to give Rizie a smile. "Nothing, I''m just startled to receive a lovely note." Yera quickly explained as she put the note inside her pocket. Rizie was not convinced with her explanation at all, because she could feel Yera was tensed solely with her facial expression. Dr. Song picked up her mobile phone and typed something on it real quick. Rizie wondered what had really happened but she was not in any position to meddle. Yera smiled again at Rizie to convince the latter that everything was well as she lifted up her coffee but to Rizie''s surprise the cup suddenly fell on the ground, breaking into pieces. Yera sent a message to her security back-ups inside the hospital. As soon as the cup broke on the floor, one of the waiters gave her a meaningful nod before he quickly cleaned up the broken cup. Yera released a sigh of relief and looked around the cafeteria. She wondered who sent her the note. The note was actually a warning saying, ''Be careful to not leave any traces that your enemy can use to run a DNA Test to confirm your identity.'' It only meant someone else knew her identity as Yera Han, But that someone seemed to be helping her out. She almost cursed out loud when a sudden incident crossed her mind on how stupid she could be! "Rizie, can I leave you first? I just need to go somewhere real quick." Yera murmured as she got up from her chair. "Of course Doc. You can go anytime," answered Rizie and Yera quickly ran out of the cafe while Rizie was left totally puzzled as she stared at Dr. Song''s back. She wondered where ., "Something is really fishy," Rizie mumbled as she continued to drink her coffee. But then she should stop prying since it was not her business though she was really dying of curiosity because of her gut feeling. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Yera scolded herself several times as she dialed Ralf''s number. She was on her way to Xander''s office. "Check the spa I went to with Dion. Someone there pulled a strand of my hair." she said at the other line as soon as she was inside Xander''s office. She informed Ralf on full details about what happened in the spa. "Also, check Dion Chen, put a tail on him and be discreet! Make sure he doesn''t notice anything. I want to know who it is!! Check also the cafeteria, someone gave me a note of warning in there." instructed Yera on the other line. She wanted to slap herself for letting her guard down! This was why she should have only focused on certain things. Lately she was too distracted because of her mixed emotions caused by Xander. "Where the hell is he?" she mumbled as she went back outside to ask secretary Ness where was Xander. "He just went to Dr. Dee''s clinic Madam," answered secretary Ness. Yera quickly walked towards Rui''s clinic. She must inform Xander about it personally and she could no longer wait, besides Rui was their alley so the latter must also know. ...¡­ Inside Rui''s clinic the two men were having a serious discussion while Rui made some herbal tea for them. "This may smell bad but trust me my friend this tastes really good," Rui gave an introduction of the taste of the tea, before he did the mixing. Xander shook his head because Rui loved to travel a lot. He better suited to be a traveller and a blogger rather than a psychiatrist. Or maybe both since the two were connected. Travelling a lot helped Rui to mingle with different kinds of people and according to Rui that made him to be one of the best psychiatrists, him travelling the world and meeting different kinds of people. Xander almost choked to death as soon as he smelled Rui''s herbal tea. He quickly got up and slightly opened the door of Rui''s clinic. "Geez! That smell will kill me Rui! Do you think I will drink that?" Xander complained as he went back to his seat. Rui laughed as he sat beside Xander and gave him a cup of tea. "Here, taste it first okay!" "I really like this painting," Xander muttered as he accepted the cup while he stared at the big painting on Rui''s wall that was facing his couch. "Well you''re not the only one. All my patients love it, some like it to the extent that they have even offered a generous price for it." Xander nodded because the painting was a true masterpiece that could easily draw anyone''s attention as soon as they saw it. "This painting portray an unknown future," Rui murmured and Xander rolled his eyes. "Yeah I know. You kept saying that to me but you never explained why you described it as an unknown future!" Xander complained and as usual Rui would only answer him with a loud laugh as he mumbled his favorite line, "because I know the future." That was one of the reasons why Xander was calling Rui Dr. Seer sometimes because the latter kept bragging that he could almost tell someone''s future just by talking with the person. "You are betting your heart on Yera. tell me, aren''t you afraid to lose?" Rui suddenly asked. Xander released a sigh and said, "Of course I''m afraid to lose that was why I''m trying hard to win. I assure you Rui that I won''t lose on this bet¡­" "Aren''t you too confident? Well I guess it runs in your family blood. How about your ''selective erectile dysfunction''?" Rui opened. "What about it? I told you Yera was my solution. She is the only woman who could be a cure to my erectile dysfunction and make things normal and working well for me," Xander jested. "Yeah what I mean is, did you tell her about it?" Rui asked. He was concerned that it could cause misunderstanding between the two so he would like to remind Xander that he should tell Yera about this as soon as possible. "Geez, do I need to? I mean how do you expect me to say it? Like this? Yera darling, honestly my little buddy was not really working before I met you, because I had this disorder where that little buddy didn''t react to any woman but miraculously it only reacted to you. That was also one of the reasons why I first approached you and offered that contract because you''re my only cure. Really Rui? Do you want me to say that to her?" Xander exclaimed. He actually did not want to disclose that matter to Yera as much as possible because he was afraid that Yera would misunderstand all his actions before. "Excuse me ma''am. Do you need anything?" Rui''s secretary said and both men turned around and looked at the door. Xander cursed inwardly seeing Yera''s red and flaring face outside the door. Rui shook his head and watched how Xander ran out of his clinic to follow Yera who quickly ran out from his clinic. "I''m sorry Sir, I went to the restroom," Rui''s secretary apologized because she was not at her desk when Yera arrived. Rui sighed and dismissed his secretary before he closed the door that Xander had opened a while ago. True enough that there were no secrets in this world that could remain hidden forever. He knew this would happen. He only hoped Xander could solve things out but based on Yera''s facial expressions, it would take a while to pacify that anger of hers. Her face clearly showed betrayal. She felt she was betrayed and used. Rui emitted another sigh. "Poor Xander," he mumbled as he sat back on his chair. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 90 - Need Her Physically Yera was crying as she ran out of the hospital. She quickly got inside a cab and asked the driver to quickly drive out of the hospital. Her heart was fuming in anger and the pain she felt was immense and breaking her from inside. So Xander approached her for that reason alone? All his offers were because she was the only cure for him? She was really stupid. "Idiot," Yera mumbled helplessly pertaining to herself. She was stupid for letting her guard down for possible dangers and not pay attention and commit another stupidity because she fell prey to Xander''s trap. "Please drive me to a place where I can shout." Yera asked the cab driver. She was too furious and needed to release her anger. She needed to vent it all out. The cab stopped at a bridge. "Miss you can shout there. People do not walk here often." said the driver as Yera paid and thanked him before she stepped out of the cab. As soon as she was holding the rail, Yera shouted, "Stupid! Asshole!" She kept shouting those words several times. "So are you the stupid and I am the asshole?" she heard Xander''s voice behind her back. "I know you are angry right now and I understand that but please hear me out first?" Xander continued, hoping Yera would not cast him away. Yera did not respond and did not send him away either so Xander inhaled and exhaled before he started to speak. "At first, it was pure sympathy, that I had you monitored because you lost Bernard and I thought that somehow you might lose your mind along the process because you grieved too much that you never talked at all. Then I came to know about your real identity. I was really curious about you and I myself could not understand the reason why! At first I thought it was sympathy and pity." Xander narrated and paused for another sigh. Then he continued, "Yes I have a disorder where my manhood never reacted to any woman at all. I honestly did not expect it will react at the moment that you hugged me when you first saw me at Bernard''s unit and that was one of the main reasons why I offered that contract. However, along the process, when I met you and came to know you more, I realized how much I liked you and when that liking turned into love afterwards I don''t actually know. Yera, please believe me that my feelings for you are sincere. When I told you I love you, I really meant every word of it all." Yera did not respond but instead shook her head and shouted, "Assshole!" She of course understood every single explanation Xander gave but she had trust issues. She was now confused. She did not know whether to believe Xander or not. Did she like Xander that much that she was hurting like this? The thought that Xander might only need her physically was killing her. Yes he said he loved her but every man would say those words especially for sex. Yera released a long deep sigh, before she coldly uttered, "Let''s stick with the contract Xander. Now that your sleeping battalion could work out then you should compensate me more generously." Xander was hurt with how mocking Yera''s words were but he tried his best to stay calm and composed because he understood Yera''s feelings. He knew what she was going through. "Please leave me now. I want to be alone for a while," Yera pleaded and Xander complied. ..... At Han Mansion where Jam and her parents already resided, Jam could not believe the results of the DNA test she received. "What happened? Did you get any more samples?" she hissed on the other line. She had hired people so that she could get another sample from that Dr. Deyna Song. She would have it tested in different laboratories because she was sceptical about the results she got from Life Hospital. "What? Why are you so slow! Maybe I should hire someone else since you are a bunch of unreliable people!" she shouted in rage. She heard knocking on her door so Jam immediately ended the call. It was her mom who entered her room with a plate of her favorite fruits. "Dear are you alright? I heard you shouting from outside. Jam nodded and smiled back. She accepted the fruits and said, "Thanks mom. You''re really thoughtful." Jam sat beside her mother as she ate the fruits. "Mom, what if Yera is alive?" Jam asked. Juliet frowned with the sudden question from Jam. "Just answer me mom, in case you found out Yera is alive what will you do?" Jam asked out of curiosity. "Well, it would be good then. We will celebrate her coming back in our family and that will be definitely a good news." said her mom as what Jam also suspected. Was she the only bad person who hoped for Yera''s disappearance to be forever? Maybe she was not the only one because her father would also surely agree with her. "Dear what is it? Why did you suddenly ask something like that?" asked her mom and Jam looked at her closely. She contemplated whether to tell her mom about Yera''s carbon copy, Deyna Song. Jam sighed before she answered,"Nothing mom¡­ I was just wondering what if something like that happens." Juliet laughed before she said, "Dear stop joking like that. Yera is dead already. They confirmed her death and found her dead body." Jam''s facial muscles flinched because that body they found could no longer be identified and the authorities confirmed it was Yera by conducting DNA Tests and the results matched with Yera. Yet, anything was possible in this era, so Jam trusted her gut feeling more. She would not stop checking on that Deyna Song. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 91 - Talk With Sense Sometimes Xander gave Yera the space that she requested. Although he missed her so badly, he tried his best to control himself. He was dying inside as the days passed by. He went back to sleeping on the couch in their room, and Yera no longer came to rest in his private room either. She now used the on-call room if she needed to rest. Xander hoped that it would not take long for Yera''s anger to dampen. This heart-rending phase needed to end soon because otherwise, he would go crazy. He didn''t want to end up doing some stupid things, like kidnap her and lock her up with him somewhere just so he could be with her. Xander sighed at his own silly thoughts. Tomorrow he would go to a team-building retreat of Yera''s group and would stay there for five days. He planned to woo her again, starting tomorrow, because he believed he had given her enough space already. His thoughts were interrupted by his assistant''s voice. "Sir, it''s time for you to drink the herbal supplement," reminded Assistant Ron as he handed Xander the supplement. "Did Yera also take this?" Xander asked before he took it from Assistant Ron''s hand and drank it. "Yes, Sir. Without fail, according to her assistant," Assistant Ron answered. He already checked into it beforehand because he knew his Boss would ask him about it. Both Secretary Ness and he were also trying their best to make the couple reconcile and could clear the misunderstanding soon because they could see how Xander and Yera were suffering. Their sad eyes said it all. ......¡­. Yera had just finished examining her last outpatient for the day when Rizie asked if she had any plans afterward. "Doc, how about we go outside? You look so down lately, so I think you need some fresh air," suggested Rizie as she handed Yera her daily herbal supplement. Yera smiled before she drank the supplement. Several days had passed, and she was grateful to Xander for respecting her wish and giving her some space. She did not feel like talking to him yet because she was still upset. Deep inside, she wanted to trust Xander, but doubts were also eating her from within¡­ She was really confused¡­ She was really hurting from the thought that the thing that really mattered to Xander was her body. "See, Doc, you''re beside yourself again. Why do I feel like you have some problems in your marriage? Although I''m not married and I''m inexperienced, but who knows, sometimes something useful could come out of my mouth when I give someone else a piece of advice. So, shoot and try me. Besides, I''m the safest person you can talk to since I don''t know your husband," Rizie convinced Yera with a smile as she sat in front of her. Yera smiled back and said, "Let''s go to the rooftop and get some fresh air there, then?" "Okay, Doc, let''s go," Rizie answered as she grabbed Yera''s arm and headed to the mini garden on the hospital''s rooftop. Yera had grown more comfortable around Rizie, who was like a younger sister to her now. They sat on one of the benches and looked at the sky. "I like this kind of weather. Not too sunny, but not gloomy either. Just enough shade and humidity," Rizie commented, and Yera agreed. Rizie waited for Yera to tell her about her problems instead of bringing up the subject again because she preferred Yera to share it with her willingly. She was actually saddened and worried about seeing the usually focused Dr. Song to be so beside herself and disoriented lately. She heard Yera drew out a long deep sigh and spoke, "My marriage is actually a contract marriage, Rizie¡­" Rizie did not say anything and just listened well as Yera opened up to her about everything that had happened. Yera did not give any names, but she told Rizie everything. She omitted the part about her real identity and only narrated about how her relationship with Xander had begun, and of their current status. "Hmmm, that''s confusing, Doc... So, you''re torn between two options¡ªone is risky, while the other is safe. I remember an incident that lured me into making a quick online purchase. Even though I knew it was more than I could and should spend, time was running out. The availability of the item was in jeopardy. The site told me exactly how many were left. I wasn''t even sure if it would fit my wardrobe, but because there were only two left, I figured I needed to hurry. My heart was shouting a clear ''Yes'' as it was telling me how great I would look in it and how happy it would make me, while my head was shouting ''No'' just as loudly as my heart. My head was instructing me to save my money instead," Rizie recounted the story. "Decisions about relationships are even more crucial than decisions about whether or not to buy something. You may be drawn to someone who probably isn''t right for you, but unlike buying a purse or a pair of pants, this decision would affect your overall well-being, and not only your wallet. It may even affect you for the rest of your life. Your heart, again, is clamoring for your attention, encouraging you to go for it. Your head, though, has a few more questions for you to answer before it would give you the permission to dive into this possibly great, but also possibly destructive relationship." Rizie paused for a while before she turned to look at Yera and smiled as she added, "Friends and family will likely tell you to listen to your heart as it knows what''s best for you." Yera smiled and asked, "What about you, Rizie? What do you think that I should do?" Rizie laughed as she looked to the sky and said, "Well, Doc, listening to your heart will more often hurt you than not, especially if you''re under any kind of time pressure. Once you have given yourself enough time to sort through all the factors, both the rational and irrational ones, your judgment would be clearer. Decisions to take a risk may, in fact, benefit you, but I think you should just take your time whenever possible. That way, you''ll get the most out of those decisions." Yera smiled as she looked at Rizie. Rizie did not exactly tell her what to do, but she had given her a good piece of advice about how she should make a decision on her own. "Are you impressed, Dr.Song? I told you¡­ I could talk with sense sometimes¡­" said Rizie in jest, and Yera could only agree by laughing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 92 - To Retrieve My Wife Back The hospital employees were all ready and excited as they went inside the shuttle bus that would bring them to their destination. It would take them about seven hours to reach it. Yera went inside the shuttle bus. Dion and some of the employees who were assigned to this bus were already inside. Yera noticed Dion was sitting on his own and felt sad for him because no one seemed to want to sit beside him, so Yera smiled and asked, "Is this seat taken?" Dion smiled brightly as he shook his head and stood up to make way for Yera so she could sit near the window. He knew that she loved to look through the window during a trip like this one to see the passing scenery. Rizie also entered the bus and greeted Yera, and Dion before she sat on a vacant chair behind them. Everyone else arrived, and the tour guide that was delegated to their shuttle bus welcomed them warmly. "Welcome on board, everyone! We have prepared a lot of fun games, so none of you will get bored during the long bus ride. I guess the group on this bus¡­ Hmmm, should I say that you''re a lucky bunch? I heard your CEO is not a strict person. He''s quite a jolly guy, so I guess I could say that you''re the lucky ones because he will be joining you on this bus!" The tour guide announced with a bright smile. Everyone cheered as soon as Xander appeared with his usual warm and charming smile. Yera''s heart skipped a beat, and she held her breath as it was the first time she saw that gorgeous smile again. After that incident, she and Xander rarely saw each other. "Here, Dr. Yang," Dr. Yao, who was seated in the front, offered the empty seat beside her. Xander smiled and said, "I hate sitting in the front, Dr. Yao. Let me check those seats in the back. Thanks for the offer, though, and please let Dr. Dee sit there instead." Xander turned to Rui, who was just behind him, and signaled him to sit next to Dr. Yao. Rui gave Xander a cold look, but he still obliged in the end despite the dirty look that Dr. Yao gave him. Rui shook his head because the woman acted as if she did not recognize him at all. Or maybe she really did not remember him? Was she not the same woman that he met in Country V? Meanwhile, Xander walked further inside the bus and stopped where Yera and Dion were seated together. Rizie somehow saw the same sad eyes in Xander that she saw in Yera, and mused, ''Could it be...?'' She had heard rumors about Xander calling Dr. Song his darling, and everyone assumed that the two would soon become an item, but there was nothing to justify those rumors, so she had only taken them with a grain of salt. But the moment she saw the same tinge of sadness in Xander''s eyes, her own eyes twinkled as her mind was actively putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. She stood up from her seat and poked Dr. Chen in front of her as she bluntly said, "Dr. Chen, can you please sit beside me? I have some important matters to discuss with you during the ride." "Oh, that would be great. I prefer to sit in the middle section because it''s less bumpy here. I get easily dizzy during a long ride like this one," said Xander with a friendly smile. "Why didn''t you bring your own car then, Dr. CEO?" Dion whispered that earned him a slap in his head by Rizie. "Geez, Dr. Chen, don''t you see that our Dr. CEO only wanted to develop a deeper bond with us? That''s why he decided to join the bus ride with us instead of taking his own car. We all should develop a more productive work relationship by improving the level of communication and cooperation among us¡­" Rizie added as she abruptly pulled Dion out of his chair to sit beside her. Rizie had actually wanted to offer the empty chair beside her to Dr. Rui, but the latter was already seated in the front, next to Dr. Yao. She had failed to take yet another opportunity to get close to him, but then again, she really was not in a hurry. She believed there would be more opportunities in the future. Yera did not know how to react during that awkward situation. She almost hugged the tour guide when she spoke through the microphone, "Alright, please be seated, everyone. We will leave now." The tour guide began to tell them about the place they were heading to as soon as the shuttle bus took to the road. "Evol Private Island would allow you and your team to experience a simpler life. There won''t be any advanced technology to distract you from focusing on each other and connecting with each other. You will find an abundance of nature and shared spaces that you could explore together. Evol Resorts offers a variety of activities that you could integrate into your team''s retreat objectives." Yera could sense Xander''s familiar scent and presence beside her that she could not listen to anything that the guide was saying. She could hear her fellow employees cheering with excitement as a video started to play on the screen. She was so tense from their proximity with each other that she got startled when Xander buckled up her seat belt for her. "Don''t forget to ensure your safety first, Dr. Song." Xander whispered with his face only inches away from hers. He gave her a sweet smile and an adorable wink. Yera''s flesh tingle just from that simple gesture. Xander simply knew how to take her breath away. "Free from everyday pressure and distractions, your team can focus on the task at hand," said the tour guide as she ended her introduction. "Hmmm, focus on the task at hand. What a good encouragement. I only have one task at hand on this trip¡­ and that is to retrieve my wife back," Xander whispered in a firm voice, loud enough for Yera to hear. Yera''s heart immediately went into chaos and thumped erratically. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 93 - Complicated Woman During the ride, Yera could not help but doze off because she had been sleep deprived lately. Xander was quick to catch Yera''s head that had almost bumped into the window. He gently held her head and laid it down to rest on his shoulder. Xander curved his lips with a contented smile before he let himself rest as well. The shuttle bus had a stopover, and Rizie stood up to go to the restroom. She was about to ask Dr. Song if she would join her, but her mouth went agape at the beautiful view before her. It was the sight of Dr. Song, who was sleeping soundly on Dr. CEO''s shoulder, while Dr. CEO''s head was rested on Dr. Song''s head. Both of them were sleeping peacefully, and it was just too sweet of a scene for Rizie to walk past without taking a picture. Her hunch had never failed her. An hour ago, she had confirmed that their Dr. CEO was indeed Dr. Song''s husband. How did she know? By merely searching on the internet for that old man who had given her his contact card in case Dr. Song was involved in an emergency. She found out through the old man''s social media, which he had been keeping rather actively, that he was the head butler at the Yang Mansion. Now, why would the head butler of the Yang Mansion ask her to contact him should there be something wrong with Dr. Song, if she was not the young mistress of that mansion? After she snapped a shot of the couple with her mobile phone, Rizie shook her head. No wonder Keira, her sister-in-law, had turned down her request to help her get to know more about Dr. Deyna Song. ''Geez, I guess blood is really thicker than water,'' she mused with a lopsided grin. She had always found her sister-in-law''s excuse to be unconvincing and downright lame. "What are you doing?" Dion asked with a furrowed forehead. "Shush!" Rizie scolded him as she pulled him toward the bus exit door to follow the rest of the employees. "Shouldn''t we wake them up so they can have lunch too?" asked Dion as soon as they stepped out of the bus. Rizie ignored him, and looked at the bus driver and told him, "Please let them sleep some more and tell the others not to wake them up. I will buy some food for them, which they can eat later when they wake up." The bus driver nodded in understanding. "Let''s go," Rizie muttered to Dion as she started to walk. During lunch, Rizie would sometimes sneak a peek at Dr. Dee''s table, and she would blush like a teenager who was seeing her crush. "You''re too obvious," Dion commented with an expressionless face. Rizie timidly smiled and said, "Well¡­ I want it to be obvious. It''s intentional. I desperately want to get him to notice me, you know..." "Well, you''ll have a hard time because Dr. Dee will soon get married. I heard his family is arranging someone to marry him," Dion remarked nonchalantly. It was the truth. Dr. Dee had mentioned it to him directly and even asked if Country V, where Dion was born, was a good place to live in since he was planning to escape from his family and be a wanderer instead. Rui seemed to find Country V the right choice after he went there to take care of a business matter for the Yang Hospital group. Dion felt bad for Rizie, who was hoping for someone whom he believed she did not stand a chance with. He knew that Rui was not into a young woman like her because when he told him about the handkerchief incident, although he did not mention it was Rizie, the first thing Rui asked was the woman''s age. And when he found out that he was older than her by more than five years, he laughed, saying, ''Dion, I won''t have a relationship with a woman who is more than five years younger than me. They''re too young, and I don''t want to be in a relationship where I have to cater to their tantrums!'' "Why are you so pessimistic? Don''t you know that unless a man is married, any women still stand a chance to fight for him?" Rizie said with a smirk. "You''re too confident," Dion scoffed as he continued to eat. "It''s better to be confident than being a coward. Duh¡­" Rizie retorted as she rolled her eyes. As soon as she was done eating, she saw Dr. Rui standing up to order more food at the counter. Rizie quickly made her move and walked toward him. "Excuse me, Dr. Dee, I was about to buy some food for Dr. Song and Dr. Yang since they both had fallen asleep in the bus. I was wondering if you know what Dr. Yang''s preference is for lunch," Rizie asked with her sweetest smile. Dr. Dee smiled back at her and said, "Oh, that''s really nice of you¡­ Actually, I was about to buy them some food too, but since you''re sitting behind them, it''s better that you do it. Xander eats anything so you can buy him anything. He''s really not a picky eater." Rizie nodded and was squealing inside as she turned to face the cashier and placed her order. After she ordered, she immediately went back to her seat and gloated, "See¡­? He noticed me!" "Huh?" Dion asked, totally confused. "He knows that I''m sitting behind Dr. CEO on the bus! It only means that he pays attention to me!" Rizie mumbled dreamily, as her eyes blinked and twinkled. Dion shook his head and muttered, "You''re getting ahead of yourself. You''ll get hurt easily if you continue like that." Rizie''s eyebrows arched as she stated, "So what if I get hurt? That''s just a part of life. Getting hurt will definitely teach me a lesson, and I will learn from it, so I''ll know better what to do the next time around¡­" Dion remained quiet because he realized there was no point in debating with a woman like Rizie because she had the kind of attitude where she always had to have the last say in anything. "Such a complicated woman," Dion helplessly muttered. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 94 - Barge Into My Room Xander woke up and did not dare move an inch. The shuttle bus was parked at a rest area, and so he assumed that the group had a stopover for lunch. No one was left on the bus except him, Yera, and the bus driver, who was in the middle of eating his lunch inside the bus. "Sir, your employee didn''t want to wake you up and told me that she would buy the two of you some food which you can eat here instead," explained the bus driver as soon as he noticed Xander was already awake. Xander only nodded and smiled. He did not dare speak for fear of waking Yera up. Yera was deep asleep, which made Xander sigh because he was sure Yera had not been sleeping well either. ''She must be having a hard time too,'' Xander concluded. He took the opportunity to kiss Yera lovingly on her head before the rest of the group came back to the bus. The group was heading back to the bus, and Dr. Yao''s face was as gloomy as a rainy day because Rui had been acting like a pest around her. The man was obviously keeping her under guard because he had never left her out of his sight. She was about to buy food for Dr. CEO earlier when Rui stopped her, saying that he would do it instead. She should dispose of an intruder like him, who kept sabotaging her every move, as soon as possible. "Tell me Dr. Yao, do you really like my friend, Xander, or is your head filled with evil plans for him?" Rui asked straightforwardly. Candice Yao stopped walking and turned around to face Rui. She squinted her eyes and gave him a mocking smile as she countered, "So tell me, Dr. Dee, do you perhaps like me so much that you''re sticking to me like a fly? Or is your head filled with dirty thoughts about me? Like, you want to f*uck me hard, perhaps?" Rui almost choked from his own saliva as he was totally caught off guard by Dr. Yao''s brazen words. His eyes widened, and he was rendered speechless. He could only stare at Dr. Yao''s mocking grin and was left dumbfounded when Dr. Yao just let out a scornful laugh before walking away from him. He was now sure that the woman whom he met at Country V before was the very same person with the woman mocking him right here right now. Yera woke up when she heard footsteps inside the bus. Her face flushed when she noticed her position, so she quickly straightened up her body. "Dr. Song, you''re finally awake. Here, I bought you and Dr. CEO some lunch. They''re just some simple dishes and not messy, so you don''t have to worry about eating it during the bus ride." explained Rizie with a smile as she handed the lunch boxes that she bought to Xander and Yera. "Thanks, Rizie," said Yera in unison with Xander. The shuttle bus went back on the road as Yera opened her lunch box and started to eat. Xander did the same, but after having just one spoon, he stopped eating. Yera furrowed her forehead and asked, "What''s wrong? You don''t like it?" Chief Doctor Gong was seated in the seat next to them, so it was safe for Yera and Xander to talk freely. "How''s yours?" Xander asked plainly. "Here, try?" Yera unconsciously gave him a spoonful out of habit, and before she realized what she just did, it was already too late. She looked around and released a sigh of relief when she saw everyone was having a nap. She scrunched her face as she swapped her food with Xander. She was so used to feeding the brute that she almost forgot that she was in a war mode with him. Xander was grinning inside because, as he expected, Yera still cared for him. It was her pride that was keeping her from taking him back. It was almost sunset when they arrived at the resort. The lovely rhythmic sound of the ocean, along with the flora that surrounded the place, greeted the group. The design of the resort boasted facilities that were built entirely over water. It was located in a secluded cove surrounded by jungle and sea, and it indeed offered a unique escape for the group. The scenery was so beautiful that they could not help but marvel. "Alright, guys, it''s time for dinner. And after that, you can retreat to your rooms. We have plenty of time to roam around tomorrow. It''s almost dark, and I know most of you are very tired from the bus ride," said the guide as she led them toward the dining hall Everyone had a great dinner together before they headed straight to their respective rooms to rest. They were given the card keys to their rooms and some handouts concerning the programs for the following days. Yera creased her forehead as she noticed that her colleagues had one by one left the elevator, every time it stopped on each floor. Yera rolled her eyes because she was sure Xander was the one who had arranged for the two of them to end up on the same floor. Meanwhile, Xander whistled as they walked in the hallway. Yera paused at her door, and her eyes widened when she saw Xander stop at the opposite door. "What the heck!?" Yera protested, which only made Xander laugh. "What? It''s not like I can go over to your room and sleep next to you, right? But of course, you''re always welcome to knock on my door in case you feel lonely. Feel free to barge into my room anytime, Darling," Xander teased her in his usual cheerful mode. "In your dream!" Yera hissed irritably as she entered her room and slammed her door. "Did he really think I would give in that easily?" She mumbled as she threw her body on the bed. Yera sighed as she recalled Xander''s smiling face, and her face softened as her lips curved upward. She would be a hypocrite if she did not admit that she had missed him, as well as his smiles and teasings. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 95 - Im Loud But Not Harmful In the middle of the night, Yera was awakened by the roaring sound of thunder. Her body was shaking as she sat and hugged her knees with her arms. She was alone in her room, and she could clearly hear the racket of the malevolent thunder. *Boooooommm* "Oh, God, please stop it." She prayed as she closed her eyes. Last time she experienced something like this, she had a nervous breakdown. She was too frightened to even lift her head as fear pulsed through her body. *Boooooommm* Yera was crying hard as she looked for her mobile phone frantically with her hands, but she could not find it. "Where''s that damn phone?" She mumbled, sobbing before she got startled by another loud rumbling. *Boooooommm* Yera kept sobbing as she covered her ears with her palms, but the thunder was just too loud. And it didn''t stop. She wanted it to end! In the middle of her sobbing, she remembered that Xander''s room was just across hers. She gathered her courage to jump out of bed and dashed out of her room toward Xander''s room. She continuously rang his doorbell. "Please, please, please... Open..." She mumbled as she kept on pressing it. "What happe¡­" before Xander could finish his words, Yera had already pounced on him. She clung onto him tightly as her body kept shaking. "Yera, what happened?" Xander asked with a frown as he immediately lifted her up and carried her to his bed. Yera was still sobbing as she clutched onto his chest. Xander laid her down gently on the bed and was about to leave to turn on the lights, but Yera didn''t let him. She pulled him even closer and pleaded in between her sobbing, "Don''t leave me, please. I''m scared¡­" Xander could feel her tensed body as he hugged her. *Boooooommm* Yera''s body would flinch every time a loud rumbling of thunder roared. She buried her face on his chest and moved even closer to him, as if she was trying to hide her whole body completely inside of him. "I hate thunders¡­" She whimpered. She had an astraphobia, a phobia for thunder and lightning, ever since she was a kid. Panic would paralyze her whenever there was a thunderstorm. "When I got lost in the woods, it was raining heavily. And there were thunders and lightnings, and I was so afraid¡­ I thought the thunders would eat me alive. Ever since then, I''m afraid of them, and I can''t be alone during thunderstorms¡­" Yera tried to explain. She could feel Xander continuously rubbing her back, gently patting it, to calm her down. "Shhh, just relax. Control your breathing, Darling. I''m here with you. Besides, thunder can''t harm you. They are only loud but not harmful. Just like me, you see¡­ I''m also loud but not harmful. Moreover, I''m lovable too¡­" Xander jested to lighten Yera''s mood, and it was quite effective because he heard Yera chuckle and felt her hit his chest. Xander ached for his wife, who had suffered a trauma from a very young age. It must have been terrifying for a five-year-old child to roam around the dark woods on her own during a heavy thunderstorm. Xander exhaled loudly as he tightened his embrace on her and kissed her head softly. "You''re safe now, Darling¡­ Just relax your body. Inhale deeply and release it. Close your eyes and try to sleep. Do you want me to sing you a lullaby?" Xander asked. "Okay..." he heard Yera whisper. Xander cleared his throat and began to sing. ** We were as one For a moment in time. And it seemed everlasting That you would always be mine You''ll always be a part of me I''m part of you indefinitely Don''t you know you can''t escape me? Ooh Darling ''cause you''ll always be mine And we''ll linger on Time can''t erase a feeling this strong No way you''re never gonna shake me Ooh Darling ''cause you''ll always be mine ** "That''s not a lullaby¡­" Yera murmured in a drowsy voice as her eyes grew heavier. Xander chuckled and said, "You''re right, it''s not. It''s my confession of what I feel inside my heart, Darling." "I''m sleepy now. This is only for tonight. I will sleep here with you just tonight because I''m still mad at you, and your stupid pathetic manhood," Yera added before she dozed off. She felt safe in Xander''s embrace. Another roaring sound of thunder, but Yera remained asleep. Xander could hear her heavy breathing and little snores. He smiled and kissed Yera''s head once more. "I guess my lullaby is very effective," he whispered proudly with a wide grin. He let out another sigh. He had intentionally arranged for his room and Yera''s room to be on the same floor, and for the rooms of the rest of the hospital staff to be on different floors because he had anticipated that Yera would sneak into his room. Or, he had hoped that he could somehow sneak into her room. He was already sleeping when the continuous sound of his doorbell woke him up. He could not believe it at first when he saw Yera standing in front of him with a trembling body. He thought he was dreaming, but he saw the fear in her eyes. It was real. It could not be a dream. He did not know whether he should thank the thunder for allowing him to cuddle his wife like this again. However, he did not want to see those fears in Yera''s eyes anymore, either. Those fears, he wanted her to overcome them. The rain was endless, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Xander was glad that Yera was finally able to sleep. But he also felt bad for his little buddy, which was in the middle of thundering on his own at that very moment. He had missed touching his wife so much that this simple act of cuddling had affected his body greatly. ''Calm down and relax!'' Xander scolded his little buddy, which was pathetic, according to Yera. And right now, he had to agree with her. His little buddy was indeed quite pitiful... "I have missed you, Darling. So much..." Xander happily murmured in Yera''s ear before he closed his eyes and meditated to sleep. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 96 - I Hate You The next morning, Yera woke up early. She smiled because she felt rested from her peaceful sleep despite the thunderstorm last night. She stretched her arms and yawned. Her eyes were still closed as she sat up from the bed. "You should just sleep in my room for the rest of the days. I promise I''ll behave, and we''ll just cuddle." She heard Xander spoke in an amused tone, so she quickly opened her eyes. Xander looked so roguishly and devastatingly handsome with his bare chest as he wiped his wet hair. His lower body was only covered with a towel. Obviously, he had just finished taking a shower. Yera''s eyebrow raised, but she chose not to say a word. She rose from the bed to quickly run back to her room. "You don''t need to rush, Darling. No one would have noticed that you sneaked out to sleep in my room since we are the only ones on this floor. The others are like five floors below," Xander said, grinning. Oh, how he had missed to tease his lovely wife like this. It had been days since he last saw her various expressions because lately, Yera had always maintained her blank and expressionless face. "You''re such a manipulative person. Are you aware of that?" Yera snarled at him sarcastically. "Yes, I''m aware of it. But are you aware that I''m a lovable person too? Can we please stop this nonsense already, Darling? I mean, is it my fault that my little buddy would only salute to you and you alone? Is it my fault that I fell in love with you? Is it wrong to fall for you?" Xander reasoned in a serious voice. Yera''s face turned a deep red from embarrassment because of the way Xander had shamelessly, and bluntly mentioned his pathetic little buddy saluting to her. Should she feel honored? Should she take that as a compliment? "I hate you!" Yera shouted and threw the nearest thing she could grab at him. Xander caught it and grinned as he countered, "No, you don''t!" Then he added, "Do you know that there is a very thin line between love and hatred? For trying to manipulate you, you can hate me all you want. But trust me, that thin line between hatred and love will disappear. Because to have you, I am going to ERASE it." Yera walked past him with a glare that made Xander glad that look couldn''t actually kill. But her angry stare had managed to send chilliness down his spine. Yera dashed out of his room toward her own room and slumped onto the floor as soon as she closed the door. Then she laughed maniacally, like a crazy person, because deep in her heart, she knew that Xander was right. She did not hate him. However, she still could not accept the fact that he had manipulated her from the start. She, too, wondered how long she would be able to keep this act that stemmed from her ego. She looked at the clock. There was still an hour left for her to get ready, so she quickly took a shower and changed into casual clothes and went down for their group activities. Yang Hospital had hired an organizer that would arrange everything for their team-building program. The host had introduced himself as Sun. After breakfast, everyone was requested to gather together and form a circle. "Alright, for our first activity, we will do a group storytelling session. Everyone will be split into groups, and each person will switch turn to stand in the middle of the circle and share their experiences on the work floor based on the keywords that I will give you. This will improve your team bonding as you''ll be able to learn some things about each other and relive old memories. So, get ready, everyone." Sun posted some sticky notes containing words such as ''First Day,'' ''Work Travel,'' ''Partnership,'' ''Side Project,'' and more. Each participant could choose from these keywords to kickstart the storytelling session. Xander was among the twenty participants for group three, together with Yera. He would sneak a quick glance at Yera every now and then, and his eyes never left her when it was her turn to share her experience. Yera picked ''Partnership'' as a keyword and simply narrated how she would not hesitate to kick incapable personnel out of the operating room. Everyone gave each other meaningful glances except for Xander, who burst out laughing as he commented, "Should I fire those incapable employees?" Yera shot him an icy glare and answered, "No, Dr. CEO, I think you should fire me." All the employees gulped from the apparent tension between the two. Sun smiled and said, "Alright, before anyone here would get fired, let''s hear our next participant." It was Rizie''s turn and narrated how her first day was. Finally, it was Xander''s turn, and he chose to tell his experience about his work travel. "Woooooaaah!" Everyone reacted when Xander told them that he had confessed his love to a woman during one of his work travels. "Did you get an answer?" One of the doctors asked out of curiosity. Xander shook his head and answered, "No, but to be honest, I no longer expect an answer. I''ll be satisfied if she would just stay with me by my side." "Wooooahhh, such a lucky woman," Sun commented, and the others agreed. Rui felt like he could puke anytime soon due to his friend''s shamelessness. How could Xander even think to slip his wooing strategy sneakily into this kind of group activity? But Rui also had to give Xander''s credit for his bravery. Fine, he admitted, his friend''s shameless was out of this world, and he saluted him for that. Rui''s eyes landed on Dr. Yao, and his brows arched when he noticed how irritated the woman looked upon hearing that Xander had confessed to someone else. It was Dion''s turn, and he started his story by saying, "I''m a weird person, but working at the hospital has really helped me a lot. I still struggle sometimes, but Dr. Song helped me out every single time. She is a competent doctor whom I respect the most." Rui frowned from disappointment. How come Dion did not mention him at all? He almost took Dion in, under his roof. But as crumpled as Rui''s face was, it could not be compared with how creased Xander''s face looked at that time. Rizie carefully observed each and everyone''s behavior, and she could not help but come up with yet again, another theory. Then she came to realize that being a detective was probably the line of work that would suit her best. "Okay, everyone, the storytelling session is over. I hope you can understand each other better now that everyone had shared some of their stories. We will have a thirty minutes break before we gather outside for our next activity," Sun explained as soon as the storytelling session was over. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 97 - I Love One Woman The group had a lot of fun during outdoor activities. They prepared for low-ropes courses. They would do a series of five challenges that they needed to solve together as a team. Sun arranged them into three groups and surprisingly Yera and Xander were both in the same group. The course became progressively more difficult as the afternoon wore on. Yera was sweating profusely. Her beautiful hair were arranged in a bun and during various activities the strands of her hair would fall on her face making her look adorable, irresistible in the eyes of Xander. She could even feel Xander''s eyes staring at her more often than not, and she couldn''t help but unconsciously blush whenever their gazes met. "These two are too obvious," Rizie muttered while watching their sweet, almost non-noticeable, interactions with each other, she stood at some distance from them with Dion watching them intently when she grabbed the bottle of water from Dion. She was closely observing Dr. Song and Dr. CEO and she could confirm that her guts never went wrong. "Hey that''s mine," Dion complained. Rizie ignored him and drank the water from his bottle without any hesitation. Dion''s face crumpled while he scorned, "Geez, drinking water from my bottle is almost like kissing me!" Rizie laughed and said, "I''m very thirsty, so I don''t mind kissing anybody to get a drink for me. Here. Geez, you react too much for just a bottle of water." Dion rolled his eyes and thought what made Rizie feel so comfortable with him so much so that it started getting troublesome for him. She was now actually invading his privacy! On the other side, the teams were struggling with their tasks and they had all advanced to the last¡ªand the most difficult of the five tasks¡ªclimbing a twelve-foot wall. Yera hesitated in completing this task and was contemplating how to meet this challenge when she heard that mellow voice strumming all the strings of her heart. "You can do it." Yera felt Xander''s breath near her ears and heard him whisper as he offered his hand. "We have to get each and everyone over the wall. Help each other until everyone has successfully scaled the wall. The timer does not matter, just make sure everyone has made it." Xander said as he lead the team. The exercise took some serious teamwork and a deliberate strategy. Yera could not help but admire Xander on how he lead their team. He encouraged everyone and would listen intently to each suggestion of any of the team members. They all ended up successfully completing the task while everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the course. . "Let us now proceed to our another activity. Don''t worry guys this time we''ll do a relaxing and fun activity and not a physical activity since I know how exhausted you all are right now," said Sun laughing when he saw complaints on the faces of everyone when they heard the words ''another activity''. "I heard we have a psychiatrist here between us so May I just request our psychiatrist to come in front and give us some important insights about the activity we just finished." Sun added and called out Rui who was scratching his head and glaring at Xander. Rui shook his head as he walked towards Sun in front of everyone. It was Xander''s idea that he would give insights but these were supposed to be not for everyone but particularly for his dear wife. "TRUST would make everything easier don''t you all agree?" Rui said smiling and everyone said, "Yes" as they nodded. "Most of the members in each group have been meeting each other for a long time now. Many of you have gone through incredibly difficult life experiences, you all must have shared one another''s joy and pain. Through this journey, we built trust¡ªsomething we needed and used in each of the challenges. So, TRUST is the key factor here, right?" Rui continued, giving particular diction on the word TRUST that made Xander smile in great satisfaction as he looked at Yera who was intently listening to Rui. Xander gave his friend a thumbs up when their eyes met while Rui gave him a look saying, "Are you happy now?" Before Rui ended he added for the group, "Almost any problem can be solved by teamwork and trust." Everyone headed back at one of the intimate spots on the island for some refreshments before they gathered again for another activity called ''Truth And Lies'' where each team member would have to say three truths and one lie about himself. Team members have to guess the lie out of the four statements. Yera frowned, thinking about what she would say as the group sat in circle. The activity began and started on a comic note because of Dr. Rui Dee who first stood at the center of the circle and stated his truths and lies. "The truth is I''m handsome, wealthy, kind and a good liar." Everyone laughed and all had the same guess that a good liar was the lie. Dr. Rui answered them all with shrugged shoulders. Dr. Yao got up next and said, "I''m a good lover, I hate lies, I''m an assassin and kill for a living and I love cats ." "That''s too easy!" one of the participants complained as all agreed that the lie was that Dr. Yao was an assassin and kill for a living. Dr. Yao did not say a word at all but only gave them her sweet adorable smile that left most men present gasp in admiration. Dr. Yao went back to her seat beside Rui who mumbled, "I bet the lie there is you''re a good lover." Dr. Yao smirked and said, "I guess you''re not a psychiatrist for nothing huh?" It was Yera''s turn where she simply said, "I like parties, I love doing surgeries, I hate manipulative people and I love cold coffees." Almost all answered that the lie was she loved cold coffees except for Dion who said, "You hate parties so that''s a lie." Yera smiled at Dion and nodded. Meanwhile, Xander''s nostrils were flaring because he knew the answer as well but of course in that situation he should remain quiet and just remained passive. Xander inhaled and exhaled loudly before he stood up on his chair because it was already his turn. He smiled and looked charming as ever in his customised smile taking away the breaths of all womenfolk present there, all the female in the circle could not help but smile back. "Such an adorable face," Rizie commented. "Are you turning to a different direction now?" Dion scoffed. "Of course not but the both of them are undeniably eye candies." Rizie said dreamily as she waited what Xander would say. "I love one woman, I want her back, I will wait for her to accept me and I will never give up on her." "The lie there is you love only one woman because you love all the women my friend." Rui commented in a jest that made everyone laugh. "Oh I forgot to say the lie yet. I need one lie right? I''m a playboy and yes that''s a lie." said Xander with a wink that made everyone burst into laughter except for Yera who remained quiet. She was not dense, she knew Xander was doing all this, making all his best possible efforts to get her attention on every opportunity he could get. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna £¬ Chapter 98 - True Desires Yera was watching the videos Ralf had sent her. They were still checking the identity of the person who left the note because the person was wearing a mask, shades and a hoodie and was completely unrecognizable. She wondered who was that person was and why would that person help her? Ralf also reported that her hair strand was indeed taken but according to the masseuse she did not know anything about who had paid her for it because it was transferred directly into her account as soon as she had the hair strand left into the locker as instructed moreover she had received all the instructions on the phone from a private number. The cctv footage on the said locker was not working so they did not have a lead at all except the masseuse words. Yera had a headache because of her stupidity. Someone knew her real identity and there was a high possibility that the enemy also had found out about her being alive by now. So Yera needed to be more careful¡­ She got up from the bed to change into her swimwear because their next activity would be in the water. She wore an elegant navy blue V neck backless one piece swimsuit. She put on her sheer babydoll style swimsuit cover-up robe before getting out of her room and he saw Xander in his rash guard that perfectly fit his toned and well built body. Xander''s eyes rounded as he blinked several times and stared at Yera. Then he said, "We are going to do war canoes not a fashion show darling! Change into a rash guard!" Yera only stared at him with raised eyebrows and said, "I want a canoe fashion show. Why do you care?" She walked past Xander with a smirk. Xander''s face crumpled as he followed Yera. He almost forgot that Yera even wore bikinis once compared to her one piece swimsuit now but all that was okay then because he was the only one who could feast on her perfectly curved body. "Darling, the sun is up and high and your skin will get sun burns so it''s safer to wear a rash guard." Xander continued to convince his wife before they entered the elevator. Yera tried hard to suppress her laughter because Xander looked funny right now with his worried face and sulking looks. "I already put sunscreen for protection. Besides, I like getting tanned for a while," answered Yera as she entered the elevator. She was grinning inside. "Tanning is not good. I mean you look perfect in your color right now. Besides, I''m sure most of the female employees will wear rash guard." Xander did not stop and still tried harder to convince her to change while they were still inside the elevator. The elevator stopped at the fifth floor and it opened. Rizie saw her and greeted her cheerfully. Yera nodded and smiled back then looked at Xander with a smirk because Rizie was wearing a sexy one piece too. "Oh wait¡­" they heard Dion''s voice so Yera pressed the button to keep the elevator opened. Following Dion was Rui who smiled at them and praised, "Woaw we have a lot of good looking and well fit employees." Xander crumpled his face more with that compliment. Here he was trying to convince his wife to change into a more conservative outfit but this psychiatrist just ruined it. The elevator stopped at the ground and everyone were already gathered outside. All female employees were in their swim suit and Xander wanted to scold all of them! "Wow, she''s like parading that hot and perfect body," commented Rizie pertaining to Dr. Yao who was about to approach them. The woman was wearing a two piece swimsuit with a print kimono jacket cardigan long robe cover up. Dr. Yao''s rounded bosoms were just too eye-catching. "Is mine small or hers are just too big?" Rizie mumbled unconsciously as she looked at her own chest, her size was normal she believed, neither small nor too big. "We will start soon. Let''s go?" said Dr. Yao smiling as she snaked herself at Xander''s arm. Yera''s eyebrows knitted at this scene and she froze on her place like a pole. ''How dare that woman grab my husband''s arm!!!'' she screamed in her heart but no words came out. She felt Rizie grabbed her arm as she whispered, "Let''s go Dr. Song. I think you better sort out your feelings and come up to a decision soon as well. I forgot to mention to you that day, that the truth is when we follow our heart, we cease to have regrets. We will not live asking ourselves, "what if...? I find it important to highlight the concept of listening to your heart, because it knows your true desires. It knows your wants and needs, and what will genuinely make you feel fulfilled. When we are honest with ourselves, when we are willing to question ourselves what is truly in our hearts, we open ourselves up for new possibilities. Possibilities to fulfill our hearts desires, and to be who we are truly meant to be, doing what we are meant to do." ...¡­.. Xander, Yera, Rizie, Dion and Dr. Gong teamed up for the war canoe. Actually it should be Dr. Yao instead of Dr. Gong but Dr. Dee pulled out Dr.Yao from the group saying they needed one more woman since it was not fair to others that their team had four men. "Why me?" complained Dr. Yao in her gloomiest face. "Simply because I want to get near you. Didn''t you say that I have dirty thoughts about you? So¡­" said Rui grinning. He would not let this woman get near his friend and jeopardize everything. Dr. Yao''s eyes narrowed before her lips formed a mocking smile and leaned forward to whisper at Rui''s ear, "Don''t test my patience because you don''t know who you''re trying to mess with here¡­ Don''t tell me later that I did not warn you Mr. Meddler¡­" Rui frowned as he mused, ''Is she threatening me?'' And for some reason he felt a chilling nerve wracking feeling with her scornful smirk. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 99 - Childish The next day, the group did a lot of indoor and outdoor activities. Rizie on the other hand shook her head while intently observing Dr. Song. ''Dr. Song is too obvious. If she continues in sulking like that I''m afraid everyone will find out her relationship with Dr. CEO soon.'' Rizie mused. She felt attached to Dr. Song, though they had been together not that long yet, but their bond was already strong. Dr. Song''s nostrils were flaring since morning and obviously it was because of Dr. Yao who stuck to Dr. CEO''s side as if she had used some glue! Right now, they were on a break and everyone was having lunch together. They all sat on a long table and to Yera''s dismay Dr. CEO ended up sitting on the opposite side of the table with Dr. Yao beside him. Rizie presumed Dr. CEO was about to sit beside Dr. Song but Dr. Yao acted fast and grabbed Dr. CEO to sit beside her and Dr. Gong. Rizie, on the other hand, was sitting beside Dr. Song and she could smell the irritation in Dr. Song''s aura, more so evident in her body language and facial expressions. Maybe because Rizie was closely watching their interactions for a while now, she could notice the change in their expressions, when anyone of them paid attention to someone else. Though they tried to be as discreet as possible, but eventually their sulking expressions would be too obvious and they would be discovered by all. Meanwhile, Xander was in dilemma because he didn''t want to be too obvious about his relationship with Yera yet wanted to sit beside her and eat but he couldn''t deny Dr. Yao when she offered him a seat beside herself. . He couldn''t insist to sit beside Yera and was hence forced to sit with Dr. Yao, lest he jeopardize Yera''s plans by being obvious in courting her. Yera actually felt frustrated seeing how Xander was just letting Dr. Yao to stick with him but she also knew it was necessary to kill the rumour going around, between her and Xander. Dion came and sat beside Yera. Everybody started with lunch and Yera tried her best not to look and pay attention at Dr. Yao and Xander despite the fact that she could clearly hear how Dr. Yao was openly flirting with Xander!. "I heard this dish here is good Dr. CEO." said Dr. Yao as she cut the steak and placed some on Xander''s plate. However, Rui who was seated at the other side of Xander quickly grabbed the steake and ate some while he commented, "Xander lovesd his steak well done. This one is medium rare, just the way. I like itthis. Thanks Dr. Yao." Rui instantly gave his plate toat Xander saying, "Here friend take this one, its well done." Dr. Yao''s side lips curved upward combined with a raised brow as she looked at Rui. The man was starting to get on her nerves but she did not mind at all as long as he would not be a hindrance to her main plot. Xander was sneakily looking at Yera every once in a while. ''What the heck?'' The possessive dragon in his heart screamed seeing Dion taking care of his wife. Xander''s eyes stared daggers at Dion when he put some food on Yera''s plate and Xander almost killed him in his heart witnessing him order a fresh mango juice for his wife bluntly. ''How come he knows so much about Yera?'' he mused irritably because Yera loved fresh fruit juices especially mango juice. Xander''s face crumpled and he looked suspiciously at Dion. Their eyes met and Xander glared at him. Dion blinked and ignored him and continued to ask Yera what else she would like to order for dessert. ''Did he just ignore me?'' Xander was burning inside and he felt Rui elbow him. "Stop that." Rui whispered. Xander pouted his lips and released a sigh of dismay. He was dismayed at the current situation. He wanted to kick that Dion away from beside Yera but he couldn''t. Xander called out for the organizer and asked, "Mr. Sun, what will be the next activity?" "Oh, we''ll have a great 5-minute team building game. It''s an easy game and we don''t need to go out for this. I will give an object to one person in each group. One at a time, someone has to go up in front of the group and demonstrate a use for that object. The rest of the team must guess what the player is demonstrating. The demonstrator cannot speak, and demonstrations must be original, possibly wacky, ideas." explained Sun. "Alright, let''s do it now and Dr. Chen will begin to do demonstration¡­" murmured Xander. The possessive husband knew he was being childish once again... but could he really not be? "Hmm but you''re still having lunch?" murmured Sun. "Nah, it''s a good break. We are done eating food and just have to eat dessert now and this will be a good way to burn calories for everyone. Let''s proceed with the game while we are all having dessert." insisted Xander because he was dying to pull out Dion from beside his wife. He even texted Rui to immediately sit beside Yera as soon as Dion left. He could hear Rui''s sighs. [Why would I do that? What will I get in return if I do this for you today?] Texted Rui back to Xander Xander sent another text message for Rui. [You wanted the collection I had in the library right? You can have it if you just do what I said.] Rui was dying to have the antique collections Xander had but never had he thought he would get it just by doing such a simple thing for Xander. [Alright I got it! I will rob all your collection you dumbass!] No one dared to disagree with their Dr. CEO''s request so as expected everyone played the game while they were having their dessert. As soon as Dion left the seat, Rui stood up and took his place, he sat while he talked to Yera and her secretary to avoid suspicion as to why he sat there. He had a good alibi anyway since Rizie was one of his patients. "How come you never took another appointment?" asked Rui to Rizie who at that time felt she was too lucky. "Oh Uhm yes Dr. Dee, I''m going to set an appointment soon¡­" Rizie answered with her sweetest smile before adding, almost a gasp, "I miss you anyway¡­" "Huh? I''m sorry?" asked Rui because he could not hear what Rizie mumbled last. "Oh sorry I said, yeah I mean I almost missed that, setting a follow-up appointment immediately." said Rizie with twinkling eyes as she stared dreamily at the man sitting just a chair apart from her. Yera shook her head and suggested, "How about we exchange chairs Dr. Dee so you and Rizie can talk properly?" Rizie almost hugged Dr. Song as soon as she heard her and saw Dr. Song standing up and changing seats with Dr. Dee. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/14191303206660205/The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 100 - Save My Husband Yera had been feeling irritated the whole day. Why? Because that vixen, Dr. Yao had been trying to take every possible opportunity to get close to Xander. She reminded her of a snake that would coil around her husband''s neck at every chance she got. ''What''s with that woman?'' Yera grumbled silently. No, it wasn''t because she was feeling insecure. Not at all!. She was just¡­ "Jealous¡­ Hmmm¡­ Yeah, jealousy..." Rizie suddenly mumbled as she was sipping on her fresh fruit juice. They were both sitting on the beach chairs side by side, watching the beautiful sky, while all the others were still having fun with the fun water activities. "Excuse me?" Yera asked as she grabbed her own glass of fresh fruit juice. "I said jealousy," Rizie repeated nonchalantly with a shrug. "What about it?" Yera feigned ignorance though she knew what Rizie was talking about... "Jealousy is painted all over your face, Doc. You look so jealous," Rizie said matter-of-factly, and Yera was not at all surprised by Rizie''s words because she had noticed that Rizie was a very observant and keen person. "Jealous? Me? Why would I be jealous?" Yera refuted and quickly looked away, not wanting to betray the embarrassment on her face. "Well, if look could kill, Dr. Yao would have been dead several times from your murderous glares by now. Thank God she doesn''t notice because she''s never nearby. But I can see it clearly because I''m always near you. It''s just so obvious that I can''t even ignore it even if I want to, Doc," Rizie remarked. Yera emitted a long deep sigh but no longer said a word. She did not see the point in denying it to Rizie anymore because she knew Rizie was right. Besides, she saw Rizie as a sister now, so maybe she could confide to her about her relationship with Xander. "Don''t worry, your secret is safe with me. Besides, Dr. CEO is like a family to me, too, since he''s my sister-in-law''s favorite cousin," Rizie reassured her because she could sense something had been bothering Dr. Song and why she had been hesitant to reveal her relationship with Dr. CEO... "How?" Yera asked. She was not surprised about the fact that Rizie had put the puzzle pieces together, but she was curious about how she had done it. Rizie exhaled and divulged everything about how she had come to know about Yera''s husband''s identity. Yera had no idea that Butler Gary''s was such an active social media user. She should tell Xander about it, so he could remind Butler Gary to be more careful next time and that he must avoid showing his face at her clinic from now on. "Are you impressed with me again, Dr. Song? My deduction skills are quite good, right? I''m actually quite impressed with myself that I''m considering to become a detective. And to be honest, I still have another hunch about you, but I decided to set it aside since it''s none of my business." Rizie decided to be frank to Yera. She was already a candid person, to begin with, anyway, and moreover, she felt comfortable around Dr. Song and knew Dr. Song did not mind her straightforwardness at all. "What kind of hunch, Rizie?" Yera asked. She was curious to know it too. Rizie turned to her and replied, "Alright, I will tell you. But promise me you won''t laugh." Yera smiled and said, "I promise¡­" Rizie then told her about the suspicions that she had about Dr. Song''s possible connection with the late Yera Han. Yera was listening to Rizie attentively while also watching Xander, who was still having fun riding a jet ski. Rui, Dr. Yao, and some of the employees were also on their own jet skis. Yera chose not to join them because her swimming skills were not that good yet. But, at the same time, she had been sulking too. Rizie decided to accompany her to relax on the beach and watch the rest have fun from the sidelines. Rizie was still waiting for Yera''s reaction to her story. She was intently looking at Yera''s face, trying to read it. "Doc¡­" Rizie murmured to interrupt Dr. Song''s deep thoughts. Rizie could feel that her hunch was right, so her heart was racing as she waited for Yera to confirm it. Yera maintained her blank face as she answered, "Rizie, the truth is..." But before she could finish her sentence, her eyes suddenly widened in shock, and she shouted, "Nooooo!!!" Rizie followed her gaze and saw two jet skis riding in high-speed and were about to hit a yacht, and she immediately recognized the two figures in the jet skis. They were Xander and Dr. Yao. Things happened so fast, and the next thing they saw was an explosion. Yera let out a piercing shrill as she stood up and dashed toward the water. Rizie went after her, who was now in a hysterical state, frantically shouting for help as she ran into the water. "Please help! Save him! Please!!!" All Yera wanted to do was to get to where Xander was as fast as she could. She saw a blazing fire from where the explosion was and began to run even quicker that she tripped and fell down on her knees several times. She kept picking herself up and kept running toward Xander''s direction. Her heart hammered in her chest as fear coursed through her veins... She could hear the voice of people shouting from behind, calling her name, telling her to stop. But she did not care... She continued to run in the water, and when she reached the deeper part where it was too deep for her to run, she swam. She swam as fast as she could as she frantically mumbled her prayers, "Please save Xander. Oh, God, please save him. I beg you. Please save my husband." Tears were rolling down her cheeks while she kept crawling and kicking her feet in the water, trying to swim as best as she could. But then it turned even deeper, and the waves struck her. Yera lost her balance and felt herself starting to drown. Yera felt her body becoming heavier as she kept trying to float. Seawater entered her mouth, and she felt her body would soon lose air. She was about to pass out, and all she could mumble was, "Please save him¡­ Please save my husband..." Before she passed out, she felt a pair of strong arms holding her body up, and she heard a familiar voice scolding her, "What the hell are you thinking!? Why would you swim here!?" Then all went pitch black... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Tears fell from her eyes. "Darling... I''m here." She could hear Xander''s voice calling her, but Yera refused to open her eyes. She was afraid that it was just a dream. She was scared to wake up only to find out that Xander''s voice she was hearing was just her imagination. "Darling¡­ Open your eyes," Yera heard Xander''s voice once more, but she still didn''t open her eyes. She was really scared¡­ What if, once she opened her eyes, Xander was not really there calling her? No! She would not be able to bear it. She could not accept it! She did not want to lose Xander that way. She would rather not be awoken at all. Yera winced when she felt a warm hand touching her cheek¡­ "Darling, please wake up. It''s me. I''m here," Xander''s voice followed that gentle touch. Yera slowly opened her eyes and saw his familiar figure. He was there, sitting on the side of the bed, caressing her face. Yera immediately sat up and reached to cup his face, making sure she was touching a real flesh. "You''re safe? You''re alright?" She whispered as tears continue to fall from her eyes. Xander gave her a gentle smile and nodded. Upon knowing that it was not a dream, Yera burst out bawling. She hugged Xander tightly, very tightly because she thought that she had lost him. She mumbled in between her bawl, "I thought I lost you!" "I don''t want to lose you¡­" Yera added. Her heart was filled with a sense of relief. She was bursting with joy because Xander was safe. His warmth and familiar scent indicated that she was not dreaming. He was alive, and he was here with her... She felt Xander gently pushed her to have a better look at her as he asked, "What did you say?" Yera was sobbing really hard that she almost ended up with hiccups. "Huh?" She asked Xander with teary eyes and a red nose. "I said I don''t want to lose you¡­" Yera sniveled. She had started to calm down and was now looking at Xander with puppy dog eyes. Xander wiped the tears off her face and asked, "Why?" Yera stared at Xander, who was looking straight into her eyes as he gently repeated his question. "Why you don''t want to lose me?" His voice was full of patience, but he was holding his breath as he waited for Yera''s answer. He was really hoping that Yera would tell him how she really felt. He had lost control of his jet ski. For some reason, it had sped up on its own, and he was unable to stir it in any direction. It was as though someone was remotely controlling it. He was busy checking the problem and did not notice that he was heading toward a yacht. Dr. Yao, who had been following him around, saw it. She shouted at him several times, telling him to jump. The two of them were able to jump off their vehicles only just in time. They dove into the water right before the collision, as well as the explosion happened. He was grateful to Dr. Yao. Without her warning, he was sure he would have not been here to hold his darling right now. When he emerged back up from the water, he saw Dr. Yao was also alive and swimming not far from him. Then he heard Yera shouting from a distance, and he was shocked to see her swim and struggle toward the explosion. He quickly swam to her, and all he could hear was his name from her mouth before she passed out. She was calling his name several times, pleading, "Please... Save my husband, please¡­" "Why don''t you want to lose me, Yera?" Xander repeated his question in a serious voice while his eyes were penetrating her, deep into her soul. Why didn''t she want to lose him? She had only one reason for that... She remembered Rizie''s advice, telling her to be honest about what she truly felt in her heart. And after being utterly shaken from today''s experience, she realized that she could have really lost Xander just like that, in the blink of an eye. She did not want to deny her feelings anymore and have regrets. Her heart knew what she truly desired¡­ And it was Xander¡­ "I love you¡­" Yera whispered as she stared into his eyes, locking his gaze with hers. He had such a bright and clear pair of eyes, which made her feel safe and secure. Through his eyes, she found her home, and she would want to stay in that home forever. Xander could not believe what he heard, and it took him some time to process her words. His eyebrows knitted as he asked again, "What did you just say?" He wanted to confirm that he heard it right because at that moment, he suddenly felt that he was dreaming. Yera pouted her lips while she was still staring at Xander with hazy eyes. But, instead of just repeating the words, she pulled Xander closer and encircled her arms on his neck before she sealed his lips with hers as she whispered, "I said, I love you!" Xander was on cloud nine. Finally, he heard those three magical words from his wife, the only love of his life. Xander pulled away from the kiss and asked, "I''m not dreaming, am I?" Yera smiled at him and shook her head. She kissed Xander''s forehead as she said, "l." Then she kissed the tip of his nose as she uttered, "LOVE. Followed by a peck on his lips as she finished her sentence. "YOU." "Still not enough?" Yera asked as she rested her arms on Xander''s shoulders. Xander didn''t respond and only stared at her in bewilderment, so Yera kissed his lips again with loud smacking sounds as she repeatedly said, "I love you. I love you. I love you¡­" "Alright, stop it, or I will take you¡­" Xander whispered in a hoarse voice as Yera was now showering his whole face with soft little kisses while she kept saying the words, "I love you." But Yera did not feel like stopping. Instead, she looked at Xander longingly before she moved to sit on his lap and kissed his lips passionately. "I want you to take me and love me forever¡­" Yera whispered in between her ardent kiss. She was not planning to waste any more time. She wanted to give Xander her everything¡­ All of her to her darling husband... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 102 - United As One** "I want you to take me and love me forever¡­" those words from Yera were immediately embedded in Xander''s inner core. He stared at Yera lovingly before planting little light kisses on her lips without fully claiming her lips. He would pause his little kisses to give her a longing look with his misty eyes before he would kiss her again. What are you doing...?" Yera protested in a raspy voice as she followed his lips unconsciously whenever he paused from giving her the soft kisses. He was teasing her, which made her feel even more excited and, at the same time, frustrated. She wanted him... Xander did not answer. Instead, he just kept staring at her. He then lifted his hand to her face and started to caress it. He trailed his fingers lightly from her forehead to her perfectly formed eyebrows, toward her bright and lovely eyes that are now staring at him, onto her perfectly shaped nose, her rosy cheeks, and finally her voluptuous lips... His fingers paused there and traced the perfect curves. Yera gulped as she felt Xander''s hand go down to her neck. She bit her lower lip impulsively as Xander''s hands moved deftly to remove her shirt and tossed it on the floor. Xander''s gaze never left her, following his agile fingers that were tracing her neck, down to her bare shoulders. Yera could feel herself melt when Xander finally looked up, and their eyes met. Her upper body was bare n.a.k.e.d before him, and although it was not the first time Xander saw her topless, this time, it just felt so different. It was his eyes. His eyes were full of hunger and yearning and they were now scanning her whole body hungrily; her mouth, her neck, her shoulders, and her b.r.e.a.s.ts... "Gosh, you''re so beautiful," Xander rasped. Yera could feel every nerve in her body, actively reacting to his every word and action. A soft m.o.a.n slipped through her mouth when Xander touched her b.r.e.a.s.ts. "Oh..." Yera''s skin flushed from the sensation of his soft caress. The flame of desire that was blazing in their eyes betrayed their undeniably intense longing for each other. "I want to make everything special, Darling. If only you knew how much I''ve waited for you to return my love¡­" Xander purred seductively. Then he gently laid her down on the bed as he whispered, "I wish to do this in a more special place, Darling... But the wait would kill me, so let me make love to you right here, right now. I just want you so badly..." His hands moved further south to remove the only barrier left from her body, which was her panties. His movements were so gentle that Yera shuddered in anticipation. Yera watched Xander take off his own clothes in one swift motion. She could see his little buddy saluting her. It was now as hard as a rock, bigger and fuller as if it was proudly telling her to get ready because it would soon invade her. It turned her on even more... Xander placed himself on top of her and touched every part of her body with his mouth. She could feel his wet tongue gliding through her skin, kissing her, licking her. "I want to kiss every inch of you. Your every part is mine, and mine alone," Xander declared possessively. Yera could only m.o.a.n, which aroused Xander even more. She would soon go crazy because Xander''s continuous teasing kept sending a wave of breath-shortening electrical sensations throughout her body. He kissed, licked, and sucked every part of it, leaving his marks all over her. "Oh, stop killing me," Yera protested and gasped when she felt him kissing and licking her inner thighs. She could hear Xander''s roguish chuckle as he said, "I''m dying too, Darling¡­ Dying to make love to you..." It was true. He was already dripping hard from his own actions. But he wanted to make everything special for Yera. He wanted his wife to know that he treasured her so much, just like a diamond in his care. Heat scorched like lightning through her belly as Xander started to pay attention to her most private part. "Ohhh¡­" Yera gasped as the familiar kiss touched her folds. She arched her body when Xander plunged his tongue into her folds, reaching to the tight knot of nerves underneath. Yera could only m.o.a.n and m.o.a.n harder, as she shook her head left and right. She whimpered when Xander dragged his tongue across the cleft as he probed deeper inside to taste the very essence of her. She tasted amazing. And her smell was so sweet and intoxicating which no perfume could ever beat. Yera could no longer take it. She wanted Xander to be inside her badly. She abruptly pulled him up and pleaded, "I want you now... Please..." Her eyes were teary from the immensely pleasurable sensation her body was undergoing. Xander felt that he would also burst out anytime soon. He promptly positioned his manhood in between Yera''s thighs and began to kiss her fervently. With one deep thrust, he dived into her. He grunted from pleasure, as soon as her warm tightness welcomed his arousal. Nothing had ever felt this good before. But then he saw her wince. He panicked, seeing the pain in her eyes. So he murmured, "I''m so sorry, Darling¡­ I did not expect¡­" He was about to pull himself out of her when Yera cut his words by pulling him closer to her for a deep kiss. She then whispered, "It''s okay... I''m okay... Please continue. I want you inside me." Then she wrapped her legs tightly around him, not letting him pull away from her even just an inch. Xander groaned with satisfaction when he felt his manhood plunged further into her as she arched her h.i.p.s to accommodate him. Xander didn''t expect Yera to be this tight. He did not expect her to be a v.i.r.g.i.n at all. After all, she was engaged twice, one of which was to Bernard. And Bernard was not at all a puritan who would refrain from having pre-marital s.e.x just because of the morality of it. He would always say that he would not wait for marriage and would make love to his woman whenever they were both ready if the two of them truly loved each other. Yera kissed Xander deeply, urging him to continue. She did not mind the sudden sharp pain because it was worth it. She was giving her first time to the man that she loved¡­ He slid himself completely inside her and began to thrust gently. Yera felt the ache slowly fade as Xander moved inside her. It was replaced by pleasure. An indescribable pleasure. He was filling her with his deep and loving strokes, while Yera followed his lead and moved together with him. She felt a sheer bliss as their bodies merged together, united as one. After a while, Xander could feel her inner muscles contracting, squeezing his erection even tighter. Their m.o.a.ns reverberated the room as Xander accelerated his movements to build up their climax together. Then with one deep thrust, they reached their release, and both cried out in rapture. He collapsed onto her and gave her a passionate kiss. He was still panting when he stared directly into her eyes and said, "I love you very much..." Yera smiled lovingly at him as she replied, "I love you too, Xander Yang..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 103 - I’m All Yours** Yera hugged Xander tightly, drowning in the deep valley of love she felt her life full and contented at that moment. Xander buried his face in her neck and continued to snuggle and kiss her. He was still inside her, reluctant in pulling out, he felt as if his little buddy was home finally. He had no plans of pulling out from his dream destination because he was not yet done! Yera''s eyes were raining tears. Tears of regret, for not acknowledging her feelings sooner, mixed with tears of joy for finally realizing how she loved Xander and what he meant for her. She was grateful she was not late in doing so. Seeing Xander''s life at risk before her eyes triggered the deep hidden emotions in her heart, her love, that she kept denying every time it tried to show up, was brought to the surface by a sudden jolt of fear she felt when she saw the accident happen. She felt her world tumbling down even with a mere thought of him being hurt and in danger. She felt the pang of losing him and knew she loved him dearly, and now would never hold herself back anymore. "I love you," Yera devotedly whispered an affirmation of her deep love in his ears and ran her fingers through his hair caressing Xander''s neck and bare back with light movements of her soft fingers. Xander''s heart raced upon hearing those beautiful words from the love of his life, he could actually hear those words every day all his life in the raspy, sensuous voice of his beautiful wife. His lips curled up in a lovely smile. He felt his heart was filled with too much joy and bliss. The joy he felt and the bliss he was in, couldn''t be compared with anything in the whole world that he knew. He dug his teeth gently in Yera''s neck and sucked the spot. He was so overwhelmed with emotions that he didn''t know how to show his love other than this. He then whispered back into her ears, "You made me the happiest man on earth today darling, right now I am on cloud nine with your love in my life... I know I shouldn''t be, but I really feel thankful that the accident happened. Had this incident not taken place, I would still be waiting for your confession and wouldn''t be the luckiest and happiest man that I am today." "No! please don''t say this. That moment I had almost lost my whole life once again. Just a mere thought of losing you at that moment still makes my heart ache in so much pain," Yera admitted what she truly felt. Xander raised his head to stare briefly into the deep beautiful eyes of his wife. He did not speak anymore words but sealed Yera''s lips, with his own, again instead. He kissed her hungrily, his hands on her tender mounds, caressing every inch of her b.r.e.a.s.ts. His desires still left unfulfilled, were raising the heat in him and he wanted to take her again¡­ lest she was still hurting "Are you still hurting?" he asked in between his hungry kisses as he gently lowered his body. "Uhmmm¡­" Yera m.o.a.ned as she felt Xander''s member inside her moving in and out. Her body enfolded his, accepting him wholly. "I feel much better. I like this feeling¡­ You burying yourself inside me like that," Yera murmured stuttering. "It feels good being inside you Darling, just like this. Ahh! I want to have you again right now darling, tell me if you''re hurting and I''ll stop at once." Xander breathed while he continued to kiss her. He felt as if each cell of his body has exploded and been shattered as he reached his peak second time and had another orgasm, thrusting deeper and faster, gathering himself over inside his wife, sending Yera wildly to her second release, milking him as she shuddered under him. He too reached his climax and filled her insides with his liquids. He separated his little buddy from Yera, afraid that he would take her again for another round. He pulled Yera into his embrace and cuddled her. Their bodies entangled with each other, not minding the sweat dampened and sticky bodies they had. "Darling, go and rest for a bit because I plan to exhaust you all night long." murmured Xander as he kissed Yera''s forehead. Yera''s face flushed as she whispered, "I really don''t mind. I''m all yours¡­" After a moment of silence, Yera suddenly spoke, "What happened at that time? I saw you all were having fun¡­ Then suddenly I saw you driving towards that yacht and then things happened very fast and the next thing I saw was an explosion." Xander heaved a deep sigh and said, "The jet ski malfunctioned and I did not notice the yacht in front of me, if it was not for Dr. Yao who followed and yelled at me to jump, I would be badly wounded by the impact of that blast even with one more minute of delay in jumping." Yera sighed, she was grateful to Dr. Yao for this because she saved her man, her love. "Do you think it''s just an accident?" asked Yera. She was doubtful if it was just an accident although she strongly hoped that what happened was really an accident and not a conspiracy. "I should go out soon because I''m sure others would like to see if I''m fine." Yera muttered. She wanted to avoid any rumor or suspicion related to her. Xander let go of her for a while and grabbed his phone. Yera looked at him with creased forehead and Xander laughed. He began to text something as he said, "No one will disturb us. Ron will handle everything so they do not get suspicious okay? Besides, do you really think that I will let you go off that easily after that one in a million confession? No darling¡­ You''ll stay in here with me all night long or may be longer." "Huh? Is this the retribution of keeping you away from me for so long?" Yera murmured. Xander winked at her before he moved on top of her and whispered, "You said it yourself¡­''Love you forever¡­'' so will stick to that by love making until I am satisfied and you''re completely exhausted..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 104 - Idiot Sometimes Assistant Ron was talking with the authorities regarding the investigation about the jet ski and explosion when he received a text message from his Boss. [Make sure Yera and I won''t be disturbed. Give them a good and convincing alibis or else you''re dead.] "We want to get the statement of Dr. Song," said one of the officers from the authorities. "Oh, she''s still in shock and not very well yet, so please give her some more time. The doctor also needs to check on her before she is able to give her statement. I will contact you immediately as soon as she is ready to give her statement. As of this moment Dr. Song is still unconscious," explained assistant Ron and the authorities understood his concern and nodded in agreement. They were already conducting thorough investigations in the case. Dion and Rizie, standing nearby, also heard the conversation from a little distance. "I think she should be moved back to the City," Dion muttered. He wanted to see and confirm if Deyna was really doing fine, but no one was allowed to see and check her condition other than Dr. CEO and Dr. Dee. "Hmm, I think she''s to well attended. You need not worry a lot because she is being looked after by two doctors at the same time. Besides, before you are able to visit her, Dr. Dee must approve her health condition to be stable enough to see others." commented Rizie. Of course Rizie knew that Dr. CEO and Dr. Song were together, so she tried her best to distract Dion from thinking about Dr. Song. She even tried to cover up for them both even in front of their co workers, who kept on asking about the current situation and wondered why it was only Dr. CEO and Dr. Dee who were allowed to see Dr. Song. She explained how harmful it would be to flock around Dr. Song and that it would be best if she is allowed to recover peacefully and left alone instead. Although many wondered why would Dr. Song hastily run in the sea, some even speculated that the rumor about Dr. CEO and Dr. Song being in a relationship was true but Rizie countered them all with her strong statements, "When we saw the explosion, our initial reaction was to save Dr. CEO and Dr. Yao." "Huh? That''s too dumb. I mean, why not just ask the rescue team with speedboat to do it. It''s just pure idiocy to swim there to save them¡­" commented one of the employees. Rizie laughed with sarcasm as she answered, "Can''t we act as an idiot sometimes? Besides didn''t we swam and reached there first, even much before that speed boat arrived? Sometimes we tend to act recklessly to help someone in need. That happens a lot in actual situation. Well at least we did something, unlike those bystanders who did nothing but to only watch¡­ Isn''t that more idiocy?" Some of the employees who heard that gulped especially those who got hit by Rizie''s sharp words including the one Rizie was talking to. Dion watched Rizie face mocking others with amus.e.m.e.nt. He could not help but to get amused whenever Rizie was around. She was like an entertainment channel in herself, always fun to watch! so even though she was a chatterbox he would not mind her presence around him anymore. On the other hand this was what Rizie thought and was worried about earlier, those two, Dr. Ceo and Dr. Song, would be discovered soon with the kind of affection they both were showing in front of all. Although she tried her best to pacify the commotion but how the gossip would spread later on was still beyond her control. Meanwhile, after talking with the authorities, assistant Ron had the team-building rescheduled to a different place since there would be an ongoing investigation in and around the area where the accident took place. "Please advise the employees to get ready in an hour. I have already arranged the place where they would be transferred." instructed assistant Ron to the organizers. Dion and Rizie were there waiting for any news and as soon as assistant Ron became available to approach, Dion asked, "How is Dr. Song? Is she alright? Can we see her?" He was too worried and he did not want to leave before he made sure that she was doing fine. "Sorry but she''s still unconscious. Her physical body is alright so there''s no need to worry. It''s just that she was too shocked. She will follow you guys as soon as she''s well. Dr. Yang and Dr. Rui are taking care of both Dr. Yao and Dr. Song." explained assistant Ron. "I want to stay," Dion mumbled and Rizie rolled her eyes. "What are you? Dr. Song''s guardian? She will be taken care of by both the Doctors present here, okay! Simply stop being too worried and overprotective. What is important is that she''s fine physically. She just needs some good rest¡­" said Rizie as she pulled Dion towards the elevator so they could go back to their respective rooms and get ready to leave with all other employees. Dion was still reluctant but Rizie pulled him with her and continuously nagged him to convince him that it would not be necessary for him to stay back. She also wanted to erase the suspicion and inconvenience that the transfer of venue might bring to Dr. Song afterwards. "It''s necessary for Dr. CEO to stay here since he is the victim and Dr. Dee will have Dr. Song check for her psychological health. You''re a surgeon so why would you be needed here? Are you her boyfriend? Or her family?" scoffed Rizie. "I am a friend okay? Aren''t you her friend too? Let''s wait for Dr. Song that way you''ll also get to spend more time with Dr. Dee." suggested Dion and as he expected Rizie''s face brightened with a smile as she said, "Oh that''s actually a nice idea. How come I did not think about it." "Oh let''s stay then and wait for Dr. Song to regain consciousness. But first, let''s see Dr. Dee and ask him about the situation¡­" Rizie said and pulled Dion towards Dr. Dee''s room. For the first time, Dion felt proud that Rizie never failed to react just the way as he would expect her to do. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 105 - Unleashed A Beast** Yera could feel her body aching all over, and yet a perfect smile curved her lips. Her eyes were still closed, but her body could feel Xander''s strong arms cuddling her. Their n.a.k.e.d bodies brushed against each other. And this warmth¡­ ''Hmmm,'' Yera m.o.a.ned inwardly. It felt so good to feel the warmth radiating from Xander''s body with her bare skin like this. His warmth gave her a sense of security¡­ That sense of security gave her the feeling of completeness and contentment¡­ She had finally found her home in his arms¡­ She moved closer to snuggle up against him more. She felt exhausted, but she did not mind at all. Xander had woken her up with his kisses all over her body last night, and they had ended up doing another round. And another one... And another... He had even given her a quick warm bath, just a while ago, because their bodies were really sticky. She was so happy that she had finally found the sense to confess her true feelings to Xander. She had never felt this satisfied her whole life. The sun was fully up, but the two bodies were still intertwined under the sheet with each other. The sunlight that was beaming through the veranda of their room woke Xander up, and he excitedly opened his eyes to look at the sleeping beauty beside him. His love marks were visible, accentuating her smooth porcelain-like skin. He was so proud of those marks that an adorable grin plastered all over his face. He could feel his little buddy stir at the sight of those bites. Yera moved closer as if she was seeking more warmth from him, which made every cell in his body flinch. He could smell her sweet scent and feel her soft b.r.e.a.s.ts brushing against his skin. Xander could not help but bend down to kiss them. But, of course, he ended up doing more. "Hmmm," he mumbled in delight as he sucked one n.i.p.p.l.e and swirled his tongue on it. Yera moved before letting out a soft m.o.a.n. She asked in a groggy voice, "What are you doing...? Uhmm... Ahhh..." She was still sleepy, but Xander was harassing her. Her body arched unconsciously as Xander sucked her n.i.p.p.l.es, alternating between them, to provide them with equal attention. "I''m trying to get my share of milk," Xander murmured in jest as he continued to suck and play on Yera''s hard rosy buds. Yera could feel Xander''s little buddy poking at her legs. "Are you sure you had an erectile dysfunction disorder? Because it looks more like an erectile functioning non-stop to me¡­" She mumbled sluggishly with her eyes still closed. She bit her lower lip because of the intense arousal she was feeling. Xander burst into a fit of laughter and mumbled, "I told you¡­ You are my cure, and it would only function non-stop with you, Darling." Xander crawled further down and kissed Yera''s belly button while he parted Yera''s legs to attend to her lady parts. He could still smell the scent of his own release from her, but he did not mind at all. "Darling, you''re wet," he mumbled before he teasingly licked Yera''s fold line from bottom to top, which made Yera shiver. Her eyes were not opened, but she was fully awake now and was just enjoying the rapture that Xander was giving her. Her hands grabbed Xander''s hair as she m.o.a.ned, "Ohhh, it feels good¡­" Xander nibbled on her small knob as he inserted his finger in her. "Darling, do you like this?" Xander asked, teasing. "Uhmm," Yera only responded with a gasp and a m.o.a.n. He paused and demanded, "I want to hear it... Do you want me to continue¡­?" "Oh, Yes! Please, don''t stop, Darling..." Yera begged in exasperation. Xander loved it. He would always ask her to call him Darling during their intimate moments like this. He continued to suck on her little knob while he thrust his finger deeper inside her. "Ohhh," she m.o.a.ned in satisfaction. Yera did not know that love-making could feel this good and wonderful, especially if it was done with someone whom you really loved. She could feel herself reaching her pinnacle as Xander continued to thrust in and out of her. "Stop now... I want you inside me," Yera said as she abruptly pulled Xander toward her and kissed him ardently as she parted her legs to accommodate his little buddy. She gently held his member and heard Xander groan. She guided it to her entrance, and both of them gasped when Xander entered her. She kissed him hard as he thrust deeper and harder. "Oh, I love you, Darling," Xander whimpered as he continued to move in and out of her honey pot. Xander was a great and considerate lover. He made sure she reached her release first before he would tend to himself. "I love you, too," she replied before letting out a series of m.o.a.ns as Xander accelerated his pace. She could feel her own muscles contracting¡­ He slammed her with one hard and deep thrust, and Yera cried out in ecstasy as she reached her climax, lubricating Xander''s manhood even more with her own liquids as her body jolted beneath him. Xander did not stop thrusting into her while her body was still shuddering. Yera followed his rhythmic movement while locking his eyes with her gaze. Their misty eyes showed their longing and desire for each other that Yera could not help but whisper, "I love you¡­" Several more deep thrusts into her before Xander let out a hard groan, "Ahhhh¡­" His body convulsed on top of her as he spilled all of his juice deep inside her. He remained on top of her and felt Yera hugging him tightly and asked, "Tell me more about your disorder? How come I feel it''s only fake news¡­" Xander was still panting and said, "Really, it''s true. I can only get it up with you, and you alone. Did you know how much I suffered whenever I was near you? It was pure torture. My little buddy down there was always so excited, but I couldn''t do anything about it. I wanted to unleash him only after you completely surrender yourself to me. I did not only want your body but also your heart, so I desperately wanted you to love me back..." Yera chuckled and murmured, "My body is aching all over now because of your little buddy. You shouldn''t call it your little buddy. You unleashed a beast, not a little buddy." Xander''s face reddened as he bashfully stammered, "Sorry, Darling, I can''t help it. I promise I will let you rest in a while... Uhm, can we just...? Uhm, again...?" Yera''s eyes rounded in disbelief as she complained, "Already? Can we at least eat first? I''m starving! You''ve drained my energy!" Chapter 106 - Mr. Meddler Feeling Detective Rui let out a long deep sigh before he pressed the doorbell of Dr. Yao''s room. Just one buzz and the door clicked open. Rui entered and creased his forehead seeing an empty bed. "Boooh," Dr. Yao knocked the words in his ear from behind and Dr. Rui was completely caught off guard. He was so startled that he even held his heart to calm it. "Geez, where did you suddenly come from? Rui hissed as he composed himself. He clearly remembered there was no one when he entered and she was not even inside the damn bathroom because he would definitely see her coming out from there in this area. He saw Dr. Yao grin with levity as she sat down on the couch and said scornfully, "So Mr. Meddler, what do you want now? Don''t tell me you''re here to check my psychological health once more?" Rui ignored her mocking tone and sat in front of her, with knitted brows he asked, "Tell me where did you suddenly pop out from just like a mushroom?" Dr. Yao laughed and simply replied, "Maybe I''m the spiderwoman hibernating on the ceiling a while ago when you came in the room?" Rui twitched his mouth. He knew he would never get a serious answer from Dr. Yao, and looking at her expression he was more sure about it now, so he gave the question a rest or else the next thing she might say would be that she could turn herself as an invincible woman. "The explosion¡­ They are now doing a thorough investigation into it, and I personally think that it is not just a mere accident." said Rui in his serious voice. Dr. Yao''s eyebrow''s upheaved as she murmured, "So? Tell me Mr. Meddler what''s that got to do with me? I think you''re talking to the wrong person here¡­ Talk to the authorities instead and share your ideas with them. How about I call you Mr. Meddler Feeling Detective instead?" Rui''s face crumpled hearing Dr. Yao''s usual sarcastic tone of talking to him. So he straightforwardly accused, "If you have got anything to do with it¡­ I''m telling you I will personally not let it go. You better stay away both from Xander and Deyna or else¡­" "Hmmm, I did not know that your meddling can reach the peak of a mountain¡­ So tell me or else what?! What will you do Mr. Meddler Feeling Detective?" Dr. Yao wickedly stated, she was trying to push Rui up to his limits with her sarcasm mixed with those tricky jest. "Don''t tell me I didn''t warn you¡­" murmured Rui but he felt as if he was struck by lightning and he almost stopped breathing when he witnessed the next move of Dr. Yao. She moved like a flash of light and reached right in front of him, very close to his body, leaning down on him with her hands holding the head rest of the couch, caging him within her long slender arms. They were too close and looked very suggestive in this posture, close enough that Rui could even smell her sweet fragrance, that was definitely her own natural perfume, he could even feel her breath on his face. They stayed like that for a few seconds and Rui could only blink his eyes and stare at her blankly while Dr Yao looked straight into his eyes, with her pair of deadly eyes as she whispered, "Again, this is your second warning Mr. Meddler¡­ Do you really think you can handle someone like me?" Dr. Yao moved closer to Rui, and he thought she was leaning in to kiss him but he was wrong because he felt her breath not on his lips but... in his ear... as she mumbled, "Stay away from my business or you''ll regret the day you ever messed up with me." Dr. Yao now grabbed a towel and was about to go to the bathroom to take a bath. ''Rui cursed because he did not know if she was just fast or he was only out of his mind because the latter was just in front of him a while ago. "I''ll take a shower Mr. Meddler Feeling Detective. Do you wanna watch me do that and enjoy in your dirty mind while I take a bath or you''ll now leave and give me my privacy? Not that I don''t mind you staying here of course. You can watch from the door and do your thing¡­" "Stop! I''ll leave now!!!" Rui cut Dr. Yao''s perverted words because he was already deep red with embarrassment. He never met a woman who was too vulgar, impolite and as lewd as her! He immediately stood up and left so annoyed and irritated that he failed to notice the wide grin on Dr. Yao''s face, totally amused by him. Rui was still cursing silently as he walked in the hallway towards the elevator to get his breakfast instead. Obviously, Dr. Yao was threatening him but how come she did this in her wicked seductive ways and why was it all bothering him so much?! "What''s wrong with that woman!" he mumbled. She was clearly showing her interest in Xander so how come she would also tease him like that? She was playing with him and he would not let himself get played by that vamp. He would do everything to guard that vamp so she could not spread her evilness to his friend and his wife. He found it weird though, because he had her profile checked already and everything was legit. However, his gut feeling was telling him there was more to it¡­ His deep thoughts were interrupted as soon as the elevator doors opened. "Dr. Dee!" greeted Rizie who was inside with Dion. Rui smiled and greeted both of them back. "How is Dr. Song?" Dion who was constantly pestering him asked. Rui rolled his eyes and answered, "Gosh Dion, do you plan to ask that every hour? I told you she''s fine and you''ll be able to see her at lunch perhaps." Rizie giggled and sommented, "I know right? Dion is like an alarm clock Doc. By the way are you having late breakfast perhaps? Because me and Dion are also going to have it¡­" Rui nodded and smiled at Rizie as he commented, "It must be refreshing to have a friend like Rizie Dion, who always smiles and is very cheerful like sunshine." Rizie blushed and timidly gave another sweet smile. Dion shook his head and said, "You should also know Doc how she is when in a bad mood and trust me.. Ouch!!!" Dion said but his words were stopped as it turned into a loud cry when he felt Rizie pinched his arm hard. "What''s wrong?" Dr. Rui asked, turning his head back to the two behind him. "Oh nothing Doc. I think Dion is very hungry now and his tummy hurts." Rizie explained in her sweetest smile. Dion could only curse silently because Rizie would again get physical with him once he opened his mouth once more. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 107 - Unstoppable Beast Yera finally had the time to get dressed. She thought she would stay locked up in the room, n.a.k.e.d, the whole day. She sighed... After several attempts this morning, she had finally succeeded in convincing Xander that they should go out for lunch. Xander was still in the bathroom when she was checking herself out in the mirror with a lovely smile on her face. She would naturally smile often now because Xander put those smiles on her face. He was the reason for her smiles. Yera really liked how she looked with those adorable smiles, which she thought would be impossible to form on her expressionless face. She heard the bathroom door open and could see Xander''s reflection in the mirror. He just emerged from the bathroom in his bathrobe while drying his damp hair with a towel. Yera stood up and gestured for Xander to sit down at the vanity table. Xander showed her his suave smile as he walked toward her and sat down on the chair. Yera took the towel from Xander''s hand and started to dry his hair gently. She then continued to dry it with a hairdryer. Xander was all smiles as he stared at his wife through the mirror. "It feels nice to be taken care of like this. This reminds me of my mom¡­ She used to use dry my hair quickly with a hairdryer, and my old-fashioned dad would scold her, saying that hairdryers are only for women," Xander reminisced with a broad smile. Yera had read some articles that Xander''s mother had passed away, but nothing was said about the cause. Any news about the incident seemed to have been taken down and no longer available. "Your mom was a real beauty. You really take after her." Yera praised. She noticed the significant similarities in their facial features from their photographs as well as the big portrait hanging at the main hall of the Yang mansion. However, she assumed that Xander''s jovial personality was something that he got from his dad. "Yes... Do you know how Bernard and I resemble each other a lot? It''s because our mothers were twins. Both of us took after our mothers in terms of looks," Xander revealed. No wonder Xander and Bernard were often mistaken for twins... Yera was curious about how Xander''s mother died, but she was hesitant to ask. "Your mom¡­ You seem to like and love her a lot," she said. Xander smiled and replied, "Yes, she was the best mom ever¡­" Then Xander''s face became gloomy as he murmured, "But because she saved someone, I lost her." "Saved someone?" Yera asked, to which Xander responded with a deep sigh. "I was just a six-year-old kid, so I could not recall much of what happened from that time. All I know is that I lost her around that time. Dad told me that she sacrificed herself to save a kid. I was so devastated when I lost her, and I really had a hard time to cope with my grief. Ever since then, no one has ever dried my hair like she used to do. I still miss her a lot..." Xander narrated. Yera put down the hairdryer and encircled her arms on Xander''s neck from behind him and brushed her cheek on his. She stared at him through the mirror and smiled as she said, "You have me now. I''ll dry your hair from now on. Whenever you want me to." Xander turned his head sideways to face her and whispered, "Hmm, but I''d rather you making love to me than drying my hair. Can we have one more round before we go out?" Yera''s eyes widened and quickly pulled away from him. "Stop it¡­ Go and put on your clothes! I''m starving!" Xander burst into laughter at the sight of his wife''s flushed cheeks. "How cute!" he exclaimed as he rose from his chair and shamelessly took off his bathrobe in front of Yera, who immediately ran toward the door to escape him as she said, "I''ll go to the restaurant first! I''ll see you there, you pervert of a husband!" Xander''s laughter roared inside the room as he walked to get his clothes from the closet. He had his things transferred into Yera''s room when she lost consciousness. Although he was only teasing his darling wife, his little buddy was already getting excited again. But, of course, he should let his wife rest for now. Maybe they would do it again later, after lunch. Xander grinned at his own naughty thoughts and almost forgot that his little buddy had now been promoted to an ''unstoppable beast.'' He should start calling it by its new name instead. He hurriedly put on his clothes as he whistled¡­ Xander went down to the restaurant and saw that Yera was sitting together with Rizie, Dion, Rui, and Dr. Yao. Rui waved at him, so he walked toward them. His mouth twitched when he saw where Yera was seated. She was sitting next to Dion as she talked cheerfully with him. ''The heck¡­'' he grumbled silently as he gave everyone a cheerful smile. As soon as he was seated in front of Yera, he looked at Dion with a lifted eyebrow and asked, "Why are the two of you still here? I thought I''ve instructed for the whole group to be transferred to another location." "We were worried about Dr. Song, so we stayed behind to confirm that she is okay," Dion answered nonchalantly. "Well, now that you''ve seen and confirmed that she''s fine, both of you can follow the rest of the group to the new venue after lunch," Xander instructed. Dion looked at Yera. "What about you, Dr. Song?" Dion asked with a concerned look. Yera smiled at Dion, but Xander was the one that answered. "She still needs to stay for the investigation." "Then, it''s okay, Dr. CEO, we can just wait for her and go together after she''s done with the investigation," Dion casually suggested, and Rui could almost see Xander''s flaring nostrils. ''This is fun to watch,'' Rui mused in delight as he waited for Xander''s childish answer to come out from his mouth. Before Xander could retort, Yera subtly kicked him under the table. "Alright, Dion, let''s all go together. After I provide the local authority with my statement, we can all leave together," Yera said. She did not see the point in staying there any longer either, especially if the incident that happened was not an accident at all. If that was the case, then it would be safe for all of them to leave the place as fast as possible. Rui grinned upon seeing Xander''s lips tightly shut. Of course, Xander and Yera would eventually leave the place, too, and joined the rest of the group. It was just this childish friend of his, Xander, who wanted to go with his wife alone, without the company of others. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 108 - Neck Pillow Xander decided to leave the place together with others in one van for Yera''s comfort. Yera was sore all over so he should control himself for not taking her and let her rest for some time. Yera sat beside Rizie while Xander sat beside Dion and Rui with Dr. Yao. The silence inside the van was nerve wracking and Rizie could not take it anymore, so she initiated a conversation and said, "I wonder how that yacht suddenly exploded. I mean I know the jet ski got hit with the yacht but such a big and sudden explosion seemed unexpected at all." "I know right? I heard someone has the same speculations about what happened. But then I guess it''s much better to wait for the investigation to finish right Dr. Dee?" Dr. Yao fizzled and turned to look at Dr. Dee beside her, with a sarcastic smirk on her face. Rui''s face twitched. ''Who''s the psychiatrist here?'' he scolded himself because Dr. Yao seemed to be playing psychological games with him instead. "And the target is Dr. CEO?" muttered Rizie before she looked at Xander and asked, "Do you have any enemies Dr. CEO?" Xander shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He did not have enmity with anyone as he was very meticulous in all his business dealings and was good with everyone he met, but very soon he might have one if the man beside him kept on seeking attention from his wife. "Hmm, Xander had dated a lot of women in the past, could it be any of them holding a grudge against him or maybe there is a woman who is interested in him and trying to gain his attention by such actions? Nowadays, people tend to plot against each other to gain attention and trust from the other." Rui commented and he was obviously implying something. "That''s sure a possibility, mostly at dramas I believe. It can also be just your pure judgement Dr. Dee. Nevertheless, I think we all can simply speculate and just wait for the investigations. Sometimes, judging a situation is often misleading. Don''t you agree?" Dr. Yao stated and turned her head at Rui with her sweetest smile followed by a wink. Rui''s brows arched for some reason Dr. Yao seemed to be enjoying the exchange of sarcastic conversation with him. "Excuse me Rui, all the women I dated before were educated and well cultured, so they won''t stoop down to such low level to try to kill me and besides I did not do anything that can offend them to kill me for revenge. I think whatever happened is just a mere accident." said Xander. Ralf said a while ago that there was nothing suspicious in the yacht and in the investigation it was found that pure gasoline fumes had caused it to explode and there were two people aboard who sustained serious injuries. He did not tell Rui yet about this since he was too occupied on thinking of an alibi to escape for the remaining days of the team-building activity with Yera, to spend some more time alone with her, but then again it might not be really advisable, but he wanted to at least think of something to sneak some intimate time with his wife. "Dr. Chen, don''t you have a girlfriend?" asked Xander out of the blue. "No, I don''t have any," Dion answered simply. "Hmm, Rizie here is still single and I think you two look good together," Xander commented though he actually wanted to add, "Stay away from my darling." But then remained quiet because he knew he was once again acting really childish. ''Why do I behave so childishly?'' he scolded himself. He was not, but when it came to matters related to Yera he could not help but act childish often. "Excuse me Dr. CEO stop involving me or pairing me with anyone at all, because I prefer men like Dr. Dee. Me and Dion are purely friends okay?" Rizie retorted with crumpled face. "Oh Rizie has a better taste," jested Rui while he teased Dion. "Bad taste¡­" mumbled Dr. Yao as she rolled her eyes. The bantering stopped when Xander''s mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Ralf, he answered it immediately and burst out, "What?" His eyes rounded in disbelief and then he looked at Dion with a confused expression. "Alright, I need full details. Let''s talk later and not now." Xander replied before he ended the call. "Something wrong?" Rui asked because he could tell Xander was bothered by his look on his face. "Hmmm, nothing just about work." Xander muttured. Yera on the other hand felt something was wrong too, but she could not ask Xander right now. Instead, she picked up her mobile phone to send him a text message. [What happened? Who''s that?] Yera typed and sent. [I will tell you about it darling. Let''s talk about it later¡­ I will sneak in your room later¡­ *kiss emoticon*] Yera read Xander''s reply and she started having another thoughts with the kiss emoticon he added in his reply. She felt like Xander had something up his sleeve and was definitely thinking about not letting her to have a proper sleep once again. Yera thought of a good reply but in the end chose not to type any message. Meanwhile Xander kept on shaking his head every now and then and would sneak glances at Dion every once in a while. His eyes had those doubtful gaze mixed with disbelief. Dion could feel it and could no longer remain unaffected so he turned around and looked at Xander and asked, "What is it? Do you want to say something Dr. CEO?" Xander meekly shook his head as he let out an awkward smile and asked, "Do you want some neck pillow?" "Huh?" Dion asked in bewilderment. ''Is he sick or what?'' he mused as he looked suspiciously at Xander. Xander no longer waited for his reply and quickly removed the neck pillow he was using and put it on Dion all of a sudden. "There use this¡­" said Xander with a smile and Dion was left confounded. He clearly did not see any bad spirit entering Dr. CEO''s body so how come the latter acted as if he was possessed or something? ''Unless¡­'' Dion panicked silently. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 109 - You Did Great Xander and the group arrived at the new venue in the evening. Everyone who had reached earlier, was already having dinner. Everyone asked how Dr. CEO, Dr. Song and Dr. Yao were and the three of them confirmed that they were alright. None dared to comment about the incident though all of them already had their speculations and assumptions on the matter while Dr. CEO, Dr. Yao and Dr. Song were not yet around. There were no words but obviously the rest of the group gossiped all day long because it was evident in their eyes with those meaningful gazes they would unconsciously throw at Dr, Song and Dr. CEO. Rizie sighed and looked at Dr. Song, no one knew nor could prove Dr. Song''s relationship with Dr. CEO anyway so as long as the two denied it or did not confirm anything they would be fine. However, something was bothering Rizie at that moment. It was how weird Dr. CEO had become after he got a call inside the van. Her face cringed seeing how attentive Dr. CEO had been towards Dion all of a sudden. Well he paid attention to Dion earlier also but that was more sarcastic and bullyings but now it was like she was witnessing a bromance. ''Poor Dion,'' Rizie mused seeing how uncomfortable Dion was all the way as they ate because of Dr. CEO''s attention. Like Rizie, Yera witnessed everything as well and for some reasons she sensed that something was going on and Xander was not telling it to her. After dinner, everyone rested. Xander was on a different floor than Yera this time who shared the same floor like the others. Xander was booked at the VIP Suite of the hotel and it would be suspicious if Yera would be booked the same type of room. "Hmm, it would be hard for me to sneak around her room," Xander mumbled. He immediately grabbed his mobile phone to message Yera to sneak in his room later on so they could talk out about an important matter. Xander sat on his couch and opened his laptop to look on the report Ralf sent him. He still could not believe the information Ralf gathered so Xander dialed Ralf''s number and called him to reconfirm everything. "Are you sure about this?" he asked at the other line. "Yes I am Sir. I double checked the matter myself. To be honest, he hide himself too well that we have a hard time in putting up the puzzles together. We got lucky that we managed to decipher everything," Ralf firmly answered. "Sir, should I report the matter directly to young Miss? She''s the one who instructed us to investigate on this matter¡­" asked Ralf. Xander let out a long sigh and said, "No. I will tell her directly." As soon as Xander ended the call, his doorbell rang. "Hmm, she''s early. Probably missed me too much," he excitedly murmured as he quickly opened the door. "Hmm, miss me so¡­" he said but halted seeing the person in front of him. It was not who he was expecting it to be¡­" "Can we talk outside?" Dion spoke the words with a serious voice and face. Xander nodded and went out of the room. Dion walked first and Xander followed him. When they reached the front desk, Xander stopped and said, "Hold on. I''ll just leave my cardkey and will leave a message. Xander left his room card key and instructed the front desk to give it to Yera. He saw Dion was sitting on the couch and Xander walked at him afterwards as he said, "Let''s talk at the bar and grab some drinks." The two went in a private room at the hotel bar. As soon as they were seated Xander immediately asked, "What is it?" Dion looked at him with his stern face and said, "I''ll be straight, I guess by now you already know everything that''s why you''re acting weird. I did not intend to hide it but I don''t expect to get discovered this early. Did you perhaps tell her about it already?" Xander ''s facial muscles flinched and he looked sternly at Dion as he said, "Not yet but I intend to tell her now." He saw Dion release an air that seemed to be a sigh of relief before he said, "I know I''m not entitled to make a request from you but can you please keep this a secret for now Mr. Xander Yang? I wanted to be the one to tell her everything." Xander remained quiet and did not respond but drank his shot of drink in one gulp instead. Dion did the same. "So you''re also aware about us?" Xander commented. Dion nodded and responded, "Yes, I''ve been monitoring her since I arrived in this country. Wherever she goes I follow¡­" "I don''t get it¡­ Why not just tell her everything from the start?" Xander asked. "Hmm, I did try but I don''t know how to start to be honest. So I decided to just look after her from a distance however, she was always alone. I feel sad for her also, she often run into accidents¡­ That I had the urge to look after her¡­ I was devastated at the thought that she died. I searched everywhere because I could not accept it. I tried to check her remains to confirm her death myself, but Life Hospital''s security was too tight." explained Dion. Xander listened to him. No wonder Dion looked like a stalker to him because the man was intentionally following and guarding Yera. Dion was missing in action after Yera died and suddenly showed up when Deyna arrived at Yang Hospital. "I saw her¡­" Dion murmured and narrated to Xander everything. He saw Yera at Cooper Network building. He thought he was only seeing a bad spirit that was using her image to trick him but then he confirmed she was a human and very much alive. Since then he had been guarding her in the shadows but then she again got into an accident. He was there, he gave her medical aid while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Yera saw him before she lost consciousness inside the ambulance. Xander did not know how to react at all but he for sure sympathized with Dion and he was very grateful for all his efforts to protect Yera. "You did well¡­ And thank you very much¡­" were the words Xander could only say but it came from his heart with full of sincerity. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 110 - Time To Do It Endlessly** Yera received a message from Xander that he had left his room card key at the front desk and instructed her to get it and wait for him in the VIP suit. She had actually called him earlier because she wanted to ask Xander about the call he received in the van but Xander''s phone only kept on ringing and went unanswered. So Yera went down at the front desk to get the card key of Xander''s VIP suit. "Where did he go?" she mumbled. She hoped everything was fine. She was about to enter the elevator to go back when her mobile phone beeped and she immediately checked it with the thought that it could be Xander''s message. Indeed it was Xander and her face started changing colour as she read Xander''s text message. [Get your luggage from your room and bring it to my room. Stay with me, I will make sure no one will find out about this, since we are on different floors. I have missed you so much darling that now I want to cuddle you to sleep. So wait for me in the bedroom of the suit okay? I will be coming up in the room very soon, so don''t sleep yet¡­ I love you¡­] "Geez," Yera muttered as she entered the elevator with a red face. She wondered if she should stay in Xander''s room or give rest to her body for a while, by keeping away from Xander for the remaining days of their stay for the team-building program. Because honestly, she was still feeling sore all over. She heard another beep from her mobile phone and Yera pursed her lips as she read it. "The heck¡­" she commented while reading Xander''s message. [Don''t have perverted thoughts Darling. I promise I won''t exhaust you tonight¡­ unless you beg me to... alright? I''ll just cuddle and hug you to sleep. Don''t forget your luggage okay? Mwah.] In the end, Yera took her luggage to Xander''s room and waited for him as he had instructed. She trusted Xander for his self control, because he had managed to control himself before and she was sure he could do the same this time also if she didn''t want to do it, the only problem was her own control. Once she was in his arms, surrounded by his mesmerizing scent, she was unable to resist his advances at all. Yera blushed hard at her own silly thoughts. She was already lying on the bed, where she kept on moving left and right because she could not sleep. She looked at her mobile phone and it was already past 10:00 PM and there was still no message and call from Xander. She was a bit worried so she picked up her phone and dialed his number but before the call could even connect, the doorbell suddenly rang. Yera quickly rose from bed to check who it was and when she saw it was Xander on the peephole she immediately opened the door. Xander''s face brightened as soon as he saw his beautiful wife opening the door for him. He quickly hugged Yera as he walked inside the room. "Did you drink?!" Yera burst out because she could smell alcohol on Xander who kissed her cheek. "Yup, but just a little darling. You were waiting for me? Why are you still awake?" Xander asked smiling. Yera pulled him to sit on the sofa and she was about to walk out to get him some water but Xander pulled her onto his lap. "Why are you still awake?" Xander asked while he smooched Yera. "I want to know what happened. You said you will tell me once you''re back remember? I''m worried. Who was it that called you in the van. Your voice sounded so shocked while you''re on the phone!" Yera asked while pushing Xander to stop him from smooching, she then cupped his face in her palms so that he would pay attention to her question. "Hmm, it''s nothing but just an update about the investigation. That was an accident caused by gasoline fumes. Right now they are still checking about the jetski''s malfunctioning." murmured Xander before he leaned forward and buried his face on Yera''s neck. "Why do I feel like you''re lying?" Yera muttered. She felt Xander''s breath on his neck as he said, "Hmm, darling my head is so dizzy that I feel like it will split in half soon." "Huh?" Yera muttered. She was too distracted by that statement and looked at Xander''s smiling face. Xander was showing his devilish grin which combined with his handsome face. It was enough to enchant Yera that she instantly understood what Xander meant. She was about to protest against his demand, but before she could voice out a single word from her mouth, Xander shut her words with his passionate kiss. Yera could taste the alcohol in his mouth and yet he tasted as good as always, sweet as he had always been, the feeling that she was sinking deep in great passion and sensation was always intense that Yera would always end in wanting more though her mind was at protest. Yes her body was sore but it was yearning and yielding at Xander''s intoxicating touch. "Darling¡­ Does it still hurt?" asked Xander in between his kissing. Yes of course but Yera was already drunk with the sensation that she mumbled, "We can do just once tonight okay?" "Hmm¡­" Xander m.o.a.ned. He felt that he could not get enough but then he could of course manage to control himself still¡­ So he would only do it once tonight. They still had a lot of time to do it endlessly anyway. Xander pulled down his undergarments while still lingering on Yera''s lips. Yera could feel his hardness under her. She unconsciously brushed herself onto him and Xander growled. She was wearing a satin above the knee nightdress so it was easy for Xander to gain access of her bare skin. Xander removed her panty easily and lifted her up so she could sit on his lap with her body facing his front and of course with her legs parted covering his waist. Yera was as usual damped already the same as Xander as they brushed at each other. "Darling you lead it so you can adjust the pace at your comfort." Xander suggested because he was worried that he might go wild. Yera chuckled and continued to tease Xander with just brushing and grinding her wet womanhood on Xanders pointed manhood. "Hmm, stop it¡­" Xander complained while he removed the strap of Yera''s nightgown to expose her b.r.e.a.s.ts before his eyes. Without warning he abruptly sucked her n.i.p.p.l.e as he licked and bit her n.i.p.p.l.e that made Yera shudder. "Ohhh¡­" she hummed as she lifted her h.i.p.s to accommodate Xander''s unstoppable beast to her cave. Ache? She barely felt it because the wonderful sensation of their physical contact and intimate union was overpowering whatever soreness she was in. "Ahh, darling you feel good. I can''t stop wanting you. You taste so good¡­" Xander could not help but voice out his perverted thoughts. Yera was moving on him back and forth, riding him gently that he could reach the highest mountain, no matter how steep it was. He joined her rhythm as he continued to feed on her n.i.p.p.l.es, nimbling alternately that made Yera m.o.a.ned as she sped up her movements on his lap. Yera would soon reach her climax, after more driving on Xander, Yera cried as her body convulsed, milking Xander''s beast with her own release¡­ She hugged Xander tightly and continued to move on him, this time she moved up and down, covering Xander''s member entirely as deep as she could as she accelerated her movements hearing Xander''s m.o.a.n and cry to climax¡­ Yera felt Xander carry her in that position as he walked towards the bed and gently laid her down there. "Rest now darling, I love you." Xander said and kissed her lips before he positioned himself beside her and cuddled her under the comforter, not minding that they did not wear their underwear yet. Yera kissed him and tightly hugged him back as she whispered, "I love you." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 111 - Do Things With Passion Yera woke up very early and quietly sneaked out from Xander''s warm embrace to have a quick bath. She then called the hotel''s reception to order something for Xander that could help with his hangover because Xander might have a headache as soon as he woke up. She flushed, seeing Xander''s pants, brief and her panties on the floor.. Xander was still n.a.k.e.d in his lower body buried under the comforter. Both of them had slept very peacefully, cuddled in each other''s arms after their love making. She sat at the side of the bed and adoringly stared at the man sleeping before her. Yera used to think she was a jinx but now she could proudly second Xander''s statement about her thoughts being wrong. Why? Because after everything that happened she felt that she was the luckiest woman on earth who had a wonderful person like Xander as her husband, who was completely devoted to her and who loved her dearly. She leaned down and gave Xander a sweet kiss, for a sweet start of the day, before getting up and heading towards the door. She did not wake Xander up so that he could get more rest, besides he was the Boss so no one would dare question him why he was up so late. Though it was still early, Yera wanted to walk alone at the beach and wait for the sun to rise. She walked towards the elevator and recalled that she had forgotten her watch in her room so she pressed the number of floor for her room where the rest were also booked. Along the hallway she saw Rizie was having an argument with a housekeeper. "What''s wrong? What''s going on here?" Yera asked as soon as she reached near them "Doc, I was questioning the housekeeper because I found her entering your room so early in the morning. I found it odd as I know you''re not in your room and felt the whole thing a little weird. I was actually about to call you¡­" Rizie stated. She was staying next door to Dr. Song and she saw Dr. Song sneaking in the hallway last night with her luggage, and she was not born yesterday to not know where Dr. Song would go and stay! She was about to go down when she saw a housekeeper suddenly entering Dr. Song''s room. No housekeeping staff would enter a room at that hour, unless the guest would request it, because it was clearly not the cleaning hours yet.. Even the sun was not up yet for goodness sake! Yera looked at the housekeeper who looked pale with fear. Before everyone could witness the commotion, Yera quickly called for assistant Ron to manage the matter. Rizie no longer waited and checked the cart the housekeeper had. "What is this?" Rizie burst out seeing everything separated in a plastic like toothbrush, soap¡­ and even dirt on the floor was in a sealed plastic too, including glasses from her room. But what caught Rizie''s attention was the hair in one of the plastics. "What the heck even hair? Are you a witch or something?" Rizie mumbled. She creased her forehead as her detective instinct became active and she looked at Dr. Song with alarment. ''I knew it!'' she mused, as her own speculations ran inside her head. "What is this? You''re invading privacy. Don''t you know you can be put in jail in this kind of matters?" Rizzie suddenly hissed at the housekeeper. "I''m really sorry. I just received an instruction from a phone call to get anything in this room that the guest had used and even the floorings¡­. To make sure I get something like a hair." confessed the housekeeper. Assistant Ron with his men quickly arrived and handled the situation before everyone else could witness the whole scene and get the airs of what was happening. Meanwhile, Yera asked Rizie to accompany her for a walk at the beach. There was only a fleeting silence between them as they walked, Rizie had a lot of questions in her mind, but did not ask and just waited for Yera to speak first. Yera sat on the beach bench and Rizie followed. The two looked towards the sun that was about to rise. Yera contemplated for a while and spoke, "You''re a smart woman Rizie so I''m sure by now you are able to confirm the scenarios you thought before about Yera Han. Yes, you were right I''m Yera Han. You said I''m back for revenge¡­ I won''t say I''m back for revenge but I''m back to get justice. Justice to be served for those who wronged me and my grandfather. And I will not stop until I find out the truth¡­ Until I find who wanted to kill me¡­" Yera simply explained. To be honest, Rizie no longer needed a lot of details because she could easily grasp the situation. "Someone is suspecting you to be Yera. They probably want to do a test to confirm your identity since your profile as Dr. Deyna Song are all legit." commented Rizie. "Yes, that''s true so we actually had extra precautions taken already. The things this housekeeper got is not mine. Those hair is also not mine." muttered Yera that made Rizie cursed. "Oh crap did I just sabotage a good plan like misguiding those villains?!" Rizie exclaimed with wide eyes. Yera smiled as she nodded. Rizie smacked her head because of her stupidity. "That''s okay Rizie. You''re not aware of the situation and was just being proactive and helping me out since you noticed irregularities. I really am grateful for your thoughts and consideration." said Yera. "I will soon leave Yang Hospital. I would like you to come with me at Life Globals group and help me out but I don''t want to put your life in danger so I will understand if you choose not to go with me." said Yera, hoping Rizie would still choose to go with her. Rizie''s adrenaline was rushing with just the thought of the adventures she could encounter while helping Dr. Song to find her justice. Oh she''s Dr. Yera Han as she suspected. "Of course Dr. Song, I will go with you and help you get the justice you deserve. I''m even excited to start the things I can do to help you." said Rizie in her serious tone. She could confirm now that she had a passion for this kind of things. ''Maybe an undercover agent or detective best suits me¡­'' she mused excitedly. "But you can also be put in danger," Yera insisted. Rizie turned her head at Yera and smiled, "Who knows tomorrow I might get into an accident? Or what if I have an incurable disease? So don''t say I can be put in danger by staying at your side because if things are bound to happen it will definitely happen Dr. Song." "Do you know what I honestly think? We met each other for a reason and a purpose. I told you I don''t know what I''m gonna do with my life. I always get bored but now I think what I really want to do in my life. I want justice to be served so I will help you at all cost to get it and trust me you will get back everything especially the justice you''re looking more" explained Rizie. Yera did not know whether to be happy because she finally had someone whom she could trust to accompany her at Life Globals group or be worried because she knew Rizie could be put in danger for helping her out. "Stop thinking. No one can stop me anyway once I decide to do things with passion," Rizie muttered seeing the hesitation on Dr. Song''s face * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 112 - Always There For Her The group resumed with their team building activities in the morning. Both Xander and Dion arrived late and they walked together towards the beachfront. "Can you act normal, why don''t you behave like you did before knowing the truth about me?" muttered Dion. "What? I''m being normal. What are you saying? How did I act earlier?" Xander asked naively. "You are really something you know?" Dion commented with twisted mouth. Earlier Xander treated him more like a love rival and he always talked sarcastically and was ready to bully him whenever he could. "Well, to be honest, I never expected even in my dreams such a revelation of your identity. After I came to know about you I have started respecting your efforts a lot. But, as someone who is older than you, like a brother, I must say that you should not prolong hiding this secret anymore. Yera has a big heart and I''m sure she will understand everything, so I believe you must tell her everything as soon as possible. Don''t worry I got your back. Treat me as you brother-in-law from today onwards. If you need anything don''t hesitate to inform me." Xander declared before he patted Dion''s shoulders and ran ahead of him to join the others who were engaged in physical activities. Dion''s face twisted. But his heart felt warm with those words, he was indeed at ease and he was encouraged. He recalled those days when he was still a kid. He would often ask his mother who his father was and where he was and his mother would always give him the same answer, that his father lives and works in Country D. As he grew up, his mother explained everything to him. He was a child born because of an accident. Dion''s mother had a one night stand with a foreigner, a stranger not from their country. Everything happened in a state of drunkenness. They had attended a common elite party for business tycoons. The two of them got drunk and ended up sleeping together in the same room. That night they ended up having s.e.x in their drunken state. The next morning, after his mother woke up, she quickly left the room and even cleared all the cctv footage to avoid a scandal that could defame her family. But her mother clearly knew the man she had a one night stand with. According to her mom, she did not regret anything that happened because she had liked his father from the first time she had seen him. They met just once and she believed that his father might not even remember whatever happened that night or even her for that matter. That was the first and last day his mother had met the man because later she came to know that the man was already married. When his mother found out that she was pregnant with him, she kept this news to herself and did not even try to inform him because she did not want to destroy a happy family. Dion''s father, who was also Yera''s father, apparently had a happy family with his wife and even their own family was well known too so his mother decided to keep him and raise him on her own. Dion''s mother gave him everything, she gave him both a father''s as well as a mother''s love including all material comforts he needed. However, as Dion grew older, he started to become curious and kept asking about his father every now and then. Dion''s mother eventually told him everything and did not hide anything from him. Once he came to know everything, Dion then decided to check on his father''s family and found out that he had already died in a plane crash with his wife while he was travelling in his private plane. Dion then found out about his half sister and it was then that he went to Country D and stayed there for a while. He got himself transferred to the same school with her and took up medicine course. He did not intend to stay there very long, however, for some reason, he felt his sister needed someone to protect her. He noticed that Yera always wore a blank expression on her face and her eyes were always lonely. She was always alone¡­ He was always there for her, silently protecting her. To be honest, there was this time that he was ready to introduce himself to her but he accidentally heard her giving her opinion about the commotion in their school were a woman attacked a student who apparently was a mistress and pregnant. He clearly heard Yera''s disgust saying that it must have hurt a wife too much to discover her husband was cheating and the worst part was the mistress even had a child. "I''m so proud that my dad was not like her husband and I don''t mind being an only child. I might not be able to accept a sibling from a mistress," those were the words that he clearly heard from Yera''s mouth. He was standing beside her while she was with her classmates, watching the commotion. And from that day on, Dion decided not to disclose the truth and stay with Yera as long as someone was not there to take good care of her. Dion sighed. He thought Yera finally had someone who could take care of her when she became engaged with Lyndon Chu. He was ready to go back to Country V but she was abducted and killed. He could not believe it at all so he also started his own investigation. But he could not find out anything, except the news that she was confirmed dead. His grandfather who never had the chance to know him had also died. He mourned for a long time and was really devastated until he saw a woman with Yera''s face named Deyna Song. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 113 - One Of My Favourites Dion''s thoughts were interrupted by Rizie, who poked him in his side. "Hey, have you reached your planet yet? You look like you''re daydreaming; staring into one spot, and standing there like a statue," commented Rizie as she pulled Dion back towards their group. Dion didn''t even notice her approaching. "Oh¡­ I reached planet Mars. I was hoping to seek refuge from a chatterbox-y woman named Rizie," Dion said in jest. His comment made Rizie crumple her face. "The heck!? I know your life would be boring if someone like me isn''t forever by your side," Rizie''s defense only made Dion shake his head as he walked towards the others. His sister was laughing hard from a distance. ''She''s been through a lot,'' Dion mused as he stared at Yera. By mere coincidence, the first time he saw Yera, Dion had already done his own quiet investigation into Deyna Song. He was able to get a sample from her and do a DNA test. He was overwhelmed, but grateful to confirm that she was alive and well. He was also able to confirm that she had suffered amnesia. He wanted to know what exactly had happened to her, but seeing her alive and in good health now, was more than enough. Dion thought that Yera could somehow start a new life as Deyna Song. Having a man like Bernard Cooper by her side. A man whom he had checked and confirmed was more than capable enough to protect her. However, another tragedy occurred, and Bernard died. Dion was always there, looking after her. He watched Yera get involved with Xander, a man whom he was still observing. Dion watched Xander sneak glances at Yera lovingly. By now, he trusted that Xander would be able to take care of his sister. But, Dion was still unsure about how well her husband could protect her, deciding to keep a firm position within Yera''s shadow. He was happy that Yera had someone like Xander. However, things were not as simple as they seemed. Yera was still in danger. Like his sister, he too wanted to find the truth about who wanted to harm her, and who killed their grandfather. Although he had never met his grandfather in person, he still wanted justice for himself and his sister. Yes, it was true: Dion had a hunch that his grandfather''s death was due to someone pulling strings. He found that files were missing from the hospital, and irregularities surrounding some staff; like how the doctor who had pronounced his grandfather dead had gone missing soon after. And just a while ago, someone wanted to get a hair sample from Yera at that spa. Thank goodness she mentioned it to him in time. He was able to swap the hair sample, ensuring that the perpetrator was misled. They would confirm that Dr. Deyna Song was not Yera Han. "Tsk, you''re so out of yourself. Walk faster geeez," Rizie scoffed and pulled Dion in haste. Dion looked at Rizie and shook his head. "How will you manage to capture Dr. Dee''s attention if you will keep on bugging me instead? You should bug Rui more like this. Right now, I''m the one who''s getting the most attention," Dion commented nonchalantly. Rizie laughed, shooting him down directly, "Stop complaining. Aren''t you honored to be one of my favourites? You should only worry if I don''t pay attention to you, because that means I don''t like you. I like weird people. So get used to my bugging. I''ll bug Dr. Dee eventually. It''s just that I feel shy most of the time when I''m with him. I don''t know why¡­" Rizie''s face flushed just mentioning Dr. Dee. Seeing this Dion rolled his eyes, just as the pair returned to their group. .... After various team building activities... "By the way, I''ll also ask for help from my brother. He''s a General so he''s well connected. I''m sure one of those connections can help," Rizie said,. "You should also start looking into a self defense teacher... I mean¡­ just in case things get physical, like in the dramas," she added, talking to Yera. They had a break between the late noon activities, and right now were tanning outside the pool. Other employees also took this time to swim and enjoy the place. Yera chuckled and said, "Why do I feel like you are more excited? A normal person would feel scared, or at least a little bit nervous¡­" Rizie pouted her lips. She rolled her body sideways on the beach chair to look at Yera. "I know right? Hmm, I think I''m weird," she said, pondering playfully. "I mean the adrenaline rush is there Doc. I feel excited to be honest. You know the feeling of finding those guys involved in abducting you? My blood boils, and I want to take them all down for you. You mentioned Dr. Dee knew these things right? Maybe I should consult him about this, so he can assess if I''m normal or not," Rizie mentioned with a grin. Yera''s face twitched. She felt that Rizie, as playful as she was, didn''t quite understand the situation. "Stop joking around. This is serious; really," Yera said, her tone firm. Rizie pursed her lips. With a straight face she replied, "Geez Doc¡­ I''m serious. I know what you''re worried about. It''s just that I love talking in jokes¡­" she grinned, continuing. "Hehe. I know what I want, and I want to be a part of this mission. So stop worrying about me, because, I, myself, have decided to be involved. You didn''t force me. Always keep that in mind. I do things out of my own will, because I want to help," she paused, adding, "You''re like a big sister to me." Rizie smiled and continued with a meaningful grin, "Besides¡­ I want you to be indebted to me also. You know¡­ They say you work magic on all your patients. That''s how I''ll collect my debt. By you making sure each of my family members are safe. Whenever their lives are on the line, I will firmly trust you, and only you, Doc, by putting their life in your hands. You''re like an exclusive surgeon for the Lim''s now." Rizie chose her words carefully; making sure to phrase it in such a way that Yera would not feel burdened by her joining them in getting justice Dr. Yera Han deserved. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 114 - I’m His Wife Xander was itching to go near Yera. He watched as she enjoyed herself. He watched her swim along the beach, then rest next to Rizie in their beach chairs. "Stop that," Dion scolded as they walked back to shore. Xander pursed his lips, ''Such a nag...'' But he kept his opinions to himself. This was the third time Dion had told him to stop staring at Yera. Xander, at least when it came to Yera, lacked subtlety. Dion warned him, worried that the other employees would notice. Last night the two men had talked. Xander had told Dion of Yera''s plan to enter Life Global''s group. Dion agreed, saying that he''d follow right behind her. He would transfer around the same time she did, so he could watch over her. Xander glanced up at the setting sun. "Finally done loitering around?" he murmured. He could only be alone with Yera in the evenings, so he preferred the days to go by fast, and the nights, slow. Dion sighed, "Such a love sick dude," he smirked. Dr. Yao suddenly appeared. She crossed her arms, blocking Xander, and startling both men. "Let''s swim more Dr. CEO! The sun''s still up, so why are you guys walking back to shore?" Dr. Yao cheerfully stated. "Hmm, I''ll go on ahead. Warm days like these lead to chilly nights...," Dion observed, passing Xander a quick grin before speeding towards Yera. Xander gulped, deciding it best he looked around for Rui. He wasn''t too far. "Dr. Yao," Xander mumbled, "I honestly feel cold already. Plus, if I keep my wife waiting any longer, she''ll shoot me." His words made Dr. Yao crease her forehead. "Hmm, wife? You? You mean you have a wife? Since when?" Dr. Yao blurted. By that time Rui had already come in close, interrupting their conversation. "I''m his wife. What''s so hard to understand about that? Why don''t you let go of my hubby''s arm and deal with me instead? I''m very much willing to swim with you for a little while longer Dr. Yao." Dr. Yao burst out in a fit of laughter, while Rui signaled Xander to scoot off somewhere else. Thanks to Rui''s distraction, Xander was able to disappear. "What the heck¡­" Dr. Yao said, focusing fully on Rui. "You could be a comedian instead of a psychiatrist, Mr. Meddling Detective. So tell me, do you perhaps have those kinds of hidden feelings for your best buddy?" she mocked, with a smirk. Rui ignored the question, instead pulling her towards the ocean. "What do you think you''re doing?!" hissed Dr. Yao. She stared at the hand holding her wrist. "Swimming, just like you wanted! Let''s go! I''ll swim with you all night long!" Rui replied, failing to see the grin on Dr. Yao''s face. "You''re funny¡­ really such a meddler¡­" she muttered. ...¡­ Finally evening had come, the Xander''s moment had come. Or so he thought, there was still dinner and, the group agreed to one more game before they returned to their rooms. "Alright this one is so easy¡­ Just a warm up guys before we all go to sleep. It''s called ''the boat is sinking''. I will be the leader and instruct guys what you need to do." Explained Sun as he told the group to stay at the center. "Alright, those who want to go to sleep early can just leave? Right?" Announced Xander before the game started. His goal was to bring Yera back to their room as soon as possible, but he was ignored, and the game began. "The boat is sinking! Groups of three, fast!" Cried Sun. Xander panicked, pulling Rizie and Dr. Yao, instead of Yera who was closer to him. Yera''s face fell until Dion joined her with one other employee. Xander scratched his head. He tried to signal Dion, but the other man only ignored him. When he was close to Dion during the game, he even murmured: "She should rest. Let''s kick her out early." But Dion would always pull Yera, keeping her in the game. ''Such a stubborn brother-in-law huh?!'' Xander mused, hiding his sulky mood. "The boat is sinking, groups of four!" Cried Sun. Xander pulled three people blindly, once again leaving Yera behind. But, just like before, Dion was there to the rescue. Xander complained as soon as he got an opportunity. But Dion''s reason was a simple one. "I think she can rest better here, than in your room," he whispered. ''The heck?! What is that supposed to mean?'' Xander complained silently. His brother-in-law was not cooperating at all. Xander almost shouted in joy when Yera was finally ''out''. Yera''s face however, sulked. As soon as Sun cried for another grouping, Xander subtly outcasted himself. Ensuring that he would be out next. He was so happy, he was even whistling towards the elevator. As soon as he entered their room he lovingly said: "Darling¡­" A pillow suddenly landed on his face. "Ouch! D-darling¡­?" Another pillow flew at him, and he was able to dodge it. They were coming from Yera, who was sitting on the bed. "Darling, what''s wrong?" Xander asked, walking towards their bed. "Stop right there! Pick up your pillows. Go sleep on the couch!" Yera exclaimed with a crumpled, angry face. Xander''s jaw dropped. ''Is she angry that I kicked her out of the game?'' he played with the thought, and suddenly he was getting worried. "Darling are you mad for kicking you out of the game?" he asked. Yera only stared at him with raised eyebrows, but she said nothing. Xander gulped. "I did it so you can come back to our room and rest early," he explained. "Yeah¡­ I want to rest early, so you sleep on the couch tonight. I don''t want to be disturbed," Yera uttered casually, maintaining a poker face. She was very much enjoying the game that her husband had just killed. Right now, she would make sure that she would get that early rest he so desperately wanted! Xander blinked dumbly. His wife looked stern. He let out a long sigh, picked up the pillows and walked towards the couch. With slumped shoulders he murmured, "I just missed you so much. I feel like the time we are apart lasts forever. I''m sorry darling, if I killed the fun¡­" Yera did not know how to react, seeing the downcast face of his husband... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 115 - Foolish Things Xander wandered over to the couch, maintaining his look of dismay. He kept his shoulders slumped, as he lay on the cushions, pointedly making his back face Yera. He wondered if he was a good actor. Was he convincing? Would his dear wife have pity on him? Xander knew why she was mad: he had acted like a child when he had tried to get her out of the game earlier. But could she blame him? He missed her so much. Sometimes he wished to lock the two of them alone somewhere together. He laid completely still, waiting. This love-sick shameless guy thought to just lay pouting on the couch for a while. Yera would soon feel bad, and he would get up and join her in bed. But he had to wait for her irritation to go away first¡­ Yera, on the other hand, felt fidgety. She thought deeply about whether she should called Xander over, or leave him there; letting him get a taste of his own medicine. She glanced at Xander''s back one last time, before rolling over, her back to her husband. She closed her eyes, sighing deeply. Of course she missed her husband, but this idiot really needs to learn his lesson. Right now is the worst time for him to cling to her, as she would be leaving. When Yera finally takes Lyndon''s offer and transfers over to Life Globals group, she didn''t want Xander to suffer from her absence. Yera wanted to get used to him not being there, for her own good. While her head buzzed full of thoughts, her body was dead tired from her busy day. After a while she easily fell asleep. Xander on the other had, was restless. He turned around, checking on Yera. "How can she sleep so easily with her back turned like that?" he complained, pouting. He scratched his forehead, mulling over his options. To stay on the couch? Or join Yera on the bed? ''Will she get even more annoyed?'' He mused while his eyes fixated on their bed. ''Maybe I should use the sleepwalking excuse? Hmm.. no my darling wife is too smart for that.'' Xander''s lips curved downwards¡­ ''Should I move or not? Yes or no?'' He mumbled inside his head. After struggling for a while, Xander got up from the couch He picked up his pillow and walked towards the bed. After a few steps, he halted. His forehead creased. He was in great struggle, wondering if he should, or even would continue walking. "Oh crap!" he scoffed as he scratched his head irritably. "Whatever happens, happens!" he beamed before he bravely crossed the invisible line, arriving at the bed. He gently placed the pillow. Very quietly and very carefully lying on the bed. He stayed frozen for the longest time. Xander just quietly stared at the ceiling. "Tsk¡­ This is killing me," he whispered. He wanted to hug Yera. ''Try it, maybe she''s not mad anymore. If she shoos you away, then try your luck next time and sleep alone on the couch.'' He wasn''t sure whether this was encouragement or what or something else but by now his body moved on its own, moving closer to Yera. His arms hugged her from behind while he buried his face or her nape, smelling her perfume. Yera moved a little. Xander suddenly felt nervous, afraid that Yera would wake up and kick him back to the couch. He stopped breathing when Yera turned to face him. His heart thumped hard as Yera hugged him back. Her eyes were closed so Xander assumed she was not awake. Xander''s lips lifted up, as he was moving in for a kiss. Yera spoke suddenly, her eyes still closed. "You''re only allowed to hug. Go to sleep. If you do more than that you''ll be going back to the couch." Xander, totally deflated, wanted to bang his head. He would absolutely avoid doing things like that again. Xander squeezed Yera, tightly whispering softly, "I''m really sorry Darling. I have weaknesses... I will make sure to overcome them, so please don''t get mad anymore. I''m just going to sleep while hugging you like this. I promise¡­ I love you." Perhaps it was because he was so carefree. He tended to think that doing foolish things like that was nothing¡­ ''You should be more sensitive Xander,'' he scolded himself before he closed his eyes to sleep. All the while hoping his little buddy would also play nice the rest of the evening, or they were both doomed. ...¡­... At the Han Ancestral Mansion¡­ Jam was watching Yera''s videos; studying every facial feature and expression. She did in fact, finally get those videos from their Grandfather''s room. Their mother was the sentimental type, refusing to throw things like that away. Her cellphone rang; she answered it immediately. "What? Are you sure about that?!" Jam hissed to the other line. Her face was a heavy mask as she stared at the widescreen. She listened intently to the voice coming from her phone. The call ended and she grit her teeth. Jam looked at the tv screen, suspicious, muttering, "Yera, are you really dead?" The report denied the hotel sample as being Yera''s. She had paid someone to quietly get another sample from Deyna Song. She even had the DNA Testing in a different hospital; but the result was still the same. "Why am I still not convinced?" Jam thought. It would have been easier if Yera''s remains were buried, but Lyndon immediately had her body cremated. For some reason, Jam would want to try one more test. She dialed a number, ordering the person to get another sample from the Deyna Song as soon as possible! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She let out a sigh and looked at Xander who was sleeping soundly beside her. She smiled and admired his control on his emotions as he slept by hugging her and didn''t try doing anything else just as she had instructed him. Though he could not help sneaking on the bed, yet he had controlled his behaviour to a great extent. She had actually contemplated whether to kick him out when she felt him joining her on the bed but in the end she decided to let him sleep beside her. "Don''t be too clingy. It will help both of us to suffer less while I will be working to find out the truth." Yera whispered while caressing Xander''s soft cheek with the back of her fingers. Assistant Ron had taken care of everything last time, and by now she was sure the result must be out. They had planted hair sample from someone else and let the housekeeper do how she was instructed. When they started tracing the incident, as she had suspected, the perpetrator of all the incidents were Jam. As far as she knew her cousin, Jam would definitely not stop until she had confirmed her suspicion that she was Yera Han. To be honest, though Jam was one of the possible suspects, Yera somehow believed that Jam was not that evil neither confident enough to frame her killing. Yes, Jam probably wished her to be dead and never wished good for her too, but she was not the kind who would have her killed through someone. She would even bet it was Jam''s dad, uncle Roy who was very blunt and vocal about his interest in managing Life Globals group. He would always make a fuss whenever there would be any hiccups in the management of the hospital. He was itching to handle Life Globals group and wanted her out from her position as the Physician CEO before. Xander, on the other hand suspected Lyndon Chu and his family more. But then, everything was a speculation and they would need solid proof to be sure about them. While Yera was posted in her thoughts she felt a pull from Xander, who moved and pulled her closer as if he was pulling in a fluffy pillow for a tighter hug. Yera''s eyes were transfixed at Xander''s full red lips that were enticing her to kiss him deeply. She grinned at her thoughts and her smile deepened when she recalled how sulky he was when she told him to sleep on the couch. She craned her neck and gave him a quick kiss. Xander moved when her hot lips touched him, seeing this Yera quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She felt Xander''s touch on her face and heard him sigh several times. Then she felt him pull her for a tight hug burying her face in his chest. She could hear the erratic beating of his heart. Yera waited and drowned herself in his musculine scent. ''What''s with those sighs?'' She mused because she kept hearing Xander sigh. Then she heard him mutter, "Geez, why am I awake again? It is hard to control now¡­ Oh God, please put me back to sleep." Yera chuckled silently hearing his pleas. Her husband''s voice sounded like he was in turmoil as he requested those words in prayer. She couldn''t stop herself from falling into his charms and she moved and brushed her body more toward his, sliding her right leg in between his and she felt it, his little buddy was hard. No wonder her poor husband kept sighing. Yera remained still, wondering if her husband would manage to control himself and get back to sleep. She felt Xander tighten his hug and caress her back with his hands, while sighing and Yera who could no longer take those sighs opened her eyes and tilted her head towards him. "Stop sighing¡­ I can''t sleep hearing your constant sighing," she complained, trying to hide the grin on her face. Xander''s facial muscles winced as he murmured, "I''m sorry Darling. Did I wake you?" Yera lifted her lips up while she shook her head. Without saying a word, she reached out to him and gave him an unexpected kiss. "Stop it Yera or don''t ask me to stop if I start. Do you plan to torture me Darling? How do you think I can control myself if you attack me like this?" Xander complained when Yera let go of his lips. Yera laughed lightly and said, "Okay, let''s sleep now. We should set some rules for us¡­ Rule number one, don''t be clingy. I don''t have to explain why. I promise that as soon as everything is settled then you can go all the way in being clingy." "Tomorrow when the sun rises, I will lift your punishment. But now, relax and sleep. Who told you to come here anyway. I told you to sleep on the couch so it''s not my fault if you get blue balls." Yera said firmly before she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep. Xander pouted his lips and looked at his wrist watch¡­ He had to wait for five more hours for the sun to rise. Another long deep sigh was let out from his mouth before he closed his eyes. ''Xander sleep and recharge instead,'' his inner self advised him silently. At the same time, outside the door of Xander''s suite, a person in a hoodie stood still with back leaning on the opposite side. There was a flower in the slender hands of the person. The person looked at the cameras recording in the lobby and smirked. "Hmm, let''s see if it''s your lucky day¡­" *Woost woost woost¡­. The person was humming a song as those fingers pulled each petal of the flower. "Later? Now? Later? Now?" The words were repeatedly said as the petals fell from the flower one by one. "Later?" Was the last word as the last petal of the flower fell. "Oh¡­ it looks like it''s your lucky day then since I''ll have to do it ''later''. For now, I''ll let you play and enjoy for a while." The person continued to hum while walking out from the suite but paused after a few steps to bend down because of the shoelace that was untied. The lower portion of the shirt slid up a bit, revealing a bit of bare skin from the back where a mark could be clearly seen, it was more like a tattoo showing a black cyclone figure. That person got up as soon as the shoelace was tied back... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Skip it if you''re uncomfortable or not above 18 years of age. You''ve been warned.] It was 4.30 in the morning, but Xander was already wide awake in his bed. He moved to open the curtains to check if the sun had already risen, but to his dismay, there was still nothing out there but darkness. Since when had he ever had a second thought in doing things according to his liking? He sighed¡­ After careful reflection on his part, he knew he should be more respectful and mindful of Yera''s wants and requests. He stood in front of the balcony door, looking outside through the transparent glass when he felt a pair of delicate arms hugging him from behind. "Why are you up so early?" Yera asked as she nestled her face on Xander''s broad back. She grinned as she teasingly added, "Don''t tell me you''re waiting for the sun to be up?" Xander coughed, followed by a blush on his cheeks, embarrassed that his wife had read his perverted mind. He felt her hands move downward, and his eyes widened. She was touching him down there, in between his thighs. "Do you think this unstoppable beast of yours can wait even just a minute more? Look at how¡­ hmm¡­ stiff it is now?" Yera asked in a seductive voice. Of course, she would not torture her husband any longer. She playfully slid her hand inside his boxer shorts and heard Xander growl. She tugged his manhood and rubbed it gently. "Why are you such a tease, Darling?!" Xander complained, his voice raspy. His unstoppable beast was ready to attack her as soon as the sun rose. But thankfully, his Darling just sent the go signal, so no more slowing down. Xander turned around and picked Yera up in one swift motion as he kissed her hungrily. He pinned her against the nearest wall, while still nibbling on her lips, sucking it alternately between the lower and upper lips. Oh, how he longed to claim those lips whenever he wanted, and not having to wait until it was just the two of them. He would often sneak glances at his wife when they were at work, and her voluptuous and sexy lips were always so tempting for him to take pleasure from. If only Yera knew the amount of self-control he had been applying in order not to devour and kiss her senseless in front of his employees... He slid his tongue inside her mouth and moaned. He had always been crazy for her. He loved kissing her like this, and he would replay it in his mind over and over again. So, could she really blame him for resorting to petty tricks sometimes, just so he could be alone with her? He heard Yera''s soft moans during their intense kiss. The kiss was a deep one, as he kept probing to taste the sweetness of her lips, tongue, and mouth that he did not seem to be getting enough of. Yera''s body temperature was getting higher. Just like her husband, she was burning with the same desire. Xander''s hand roamed underneath her nightgown. Yera gasped when Xander cupped one of her breasts and squeezed it gently as if he was checking to see if it was still the same size. "Hmm, did you miss me too?" Xander whispered as his lips trailed along Yera''s jawline, down to her neck, biting every inch of her skin, and nibbling it. His fingers kept teasing her nipples, which were already hardened from her arousal. Yera responded with a series of soft moans as she bit her lower lip... Yera felt Xander''s hand move even further south, inside her panties. He was caressing her lady parts, his middle finger trailing their lips. "You''re already wet¡­" Xander murmured while his other hand pulled down one strap of her nightgown, letting it fall from her shoulder, so he could taste one of those hard nipples of her. True, she was already moist down there. So moistened, she could feel her own wetness. This would always happen every time Xander kissed her. His kiss still had the power to make her weak. It had never failed to send a tingling and burning sensation into her inner core. "Ohhh," she cried when she felt Xander''s mouth guzzling one of her nipples. She could only raise her arms and buried her fingers in his hair. Xander was not only pleasuring her nipples with his tongue but also with his hand¡­ No, his fingers had started to enter her wet alley. He first inserted one finger inside to tease her while he licked and sucked her nipples. Yera could not help but moan loudly as the pleasure was building up inside her. Xander''s put more fingers inside her and sped up their actions, continuously moving in and out of her. "Ahhh!" Yera whimpered as her body shook from the sudden climax. She did not even know how Xander had already removed all of his clothings, but she gasped when she felt him lifting up her buttocks. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist. She could feel him, his hard erection brushing against her wet alley, looking for its entrance, and when it found it, Xander made one deep thrust inside her. "Oh, Darling¡­ You are so hot¡­ I want to bury myself in you forever," Xander mumbled incoherently as he thrust himself inside her as deep as he could and pulled out only to plunge deep into her again. It was the truth, his wife was too delicious for him, sweeter than any desserts. Being inside her felt so good that he would not mind to stay there forever. Her inner muscles squeezed his rod warmly and tightly, and the feeling was indescribable. "Ahhh... Darling¡­ I'' coming¡­!" Xander exclaimed. He moved in and out of her with accelerated speed, while he sucked on Yera''s nipples. Yera could feel her inside being fully filled with Xander''s length. She would soon have her second climax. "Ahhh!" She moaned loudly as Xander kept slamming onto her, deeper, and faster¡­ The room was filled with cries of pleasures as the couple reached their pinnacles. Xander''s body was shaking as he moved deeper, spreading his seeds inside Yera, pushing as deep as he could, not wanting to spill even just one bit of it. Yera could only wrap her arms around her husband ''s neck for support because her body would definitely give out any time soon due to the sensational, toe-curling orgasm that she had just experienced. Xander did not pull out from her. Instead, with Yera still in his arms, he carried her to their bed and gently laid her down with his length still inside her. "Darling¡­ you gave him the name ''Unstoppable beast,'' so I think he is just trying to make you proud by living up to that name," Xander jested as he slowly began to move inside her again. Yera smiled bashfully but parted her legs wider and even arched her body to meet Xander''s movement. "It''s okay¡­ let him make me proud," Yera muttered, smiling before she pulled her husband closer for a torrid kiss. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He wanted the team to split into two smaller groups. "Alright, we want each group to have the same number of men and women," explained Sun. He shook his head, very much aware of his lie. What he said was an alibi; an excuse. As he called out the names that would complete Group 1 and Group 2 Sun remembered that the lists for each group had been handed to him directly by the Dr. CEO''s assistant, giving him clear instructions on who would be in each group. "Here are the lists of items you should look for," Sun explained, handing out the lists on small index cards, "and things you have to do. Deadline is at 11:00 AM," he continued, explaining, "just before lunch. By then everyone should be back here. The first team to accomplish all the tasks, win!" Just as usual, Yera and Xander were in a group together, but surprisingly, Dion and Rizie were also with them. A few minutes after Sun''s explanation, the scavenger hunt began. The two teams split up; scattering around the resort. The private island where they stayed was beautiful; with gorgeous blue waters and nature spots overflowing with greenery. Yera glanced around. She smiled as she wished they could just sit around and relax. Xander muttered, "Nice place right? You will like the villa more once you decide to visit that favorite place of mine," he said, noticing how much his wife seemed to admire the place. "Hmm, yes let''s visit it then and let me see how great your favorite place was." Yera murmured before she ran to join their team to complete each task. One of the tasks was to give a teammate a piggyback ride for ten minutes. Dion offered to piggyback Yera, as she was the smallest on their team . Yera thought Xander would make a fuss, but to her surprise, Xander agreed and offered to record the video. After completing that task, Yera and Xander wandered behind. Walking behind the rest. "What''s with you and Dion?" Yera asked suddenly. Yera noticed that Xander always paid extra attention to Dion, but unlike before he seemed more considerate, or was it generosity she was seeing more of? Xander coughed, then glanced at Dion, who was next to Rizie. They had drifted about five meters behind them. He sighed. He clearly remembered giving Dion advice on how to tell Yera the truth about his identity. Xander hated lying to Yera, but he understood and respected Dion''s decision to wait for a better time to disclose the matter with Yera directly. She was his half sister, and until now she had no idea he existed. "Hmmm, nothing. I like Dion''s company. It''s like what you say: I should treat him nice since he is one of your closest friends. Or do you want me to bully him instead?" Xander asked, teasing. Yera wasn''t fully convinced. She opened her mouth to say something, but Rizie hushed them, "Guys walk faster. Let''s hurry up and finish this. Oh look, there''s an egg nest!" The pair sped up. Xander said, "Don''t think much Darling and let''s go. I will love to hold your hand but then¡­" Yes, Yera wanted the same thing, but right now they couldn''t openly show their relationship. Seeing how Xander was interacting cheerfully with everyone, Yera smiled. Dion noticed, and smiled back awkwardly. ''Those smiles,'' she mused. He had the same awkward, funny smile as her dad. Everytime he would smile she felt like she was seeing him again. She remembered his face from when she was still a kid. Maybe it was one of the reasons that she was so comfortable with Dion. ''What a coincidence,'' she thought. She and Dion shared that same, stiff smile. Her grandfather would often tease her on how unrelaxed her smile was. Yera''s parents died a day after her sixth''s birthday. During the celebration, the day before all of them were happy, especially her. The next day, her parents left on an important business, using one of their private planes. But a tragic accident occured, killing both her parents instantly. "Dr. Song¡­ You''re so slow, do you want me to carry you? " jested Xander once he noticed that she was still far behind. Xander smiled lovingly at her, then winked. Yera could not help but return his beautiful smile. ''Grandpa, can you see how great my smiles are now?'' Yera thought proudly as she looked at her husband. Since she had been with Xander, Yera learned how to smile. Her smiles were relaxed, full of love and sincerity. Xander with two more men in their team separated from Yera and their remainder of the group to find some of the more difficult things they needed. While Xander''s group did that, Yera''s group completed some of the scavenger hunt''s simpler tasks, like taking photos of insects and animals. "Do you guys know how the Dr. CEO''s mother died? I heard it was in the woods just like this... I''m not too sure about the details, but I heard she was stabbed several times while she protected some kid" one of their group mates suddenly said.. Rizie looked shocked and turned to the employee, "Where did you hear that? I tried to look into it to be honest, but only found out a few articles that only said that she died. There were no details about it." "Of course, the Yang family shut it all down; they have a large web of connections so censoring whatever they want is easy. I only know about this because a friend''s father of mine was there at that time... He said that our Dr. CEO''s mother got killed and was a hero. Even then, he still didn''t disclose much detail then too. That father of my friend only talked like this when he was drunk. When sober, his lips were sealed shut," the employee continued nonchalantly. Yera pursed her lips, curious. She wanted to know more, but then, with something so tragic, no wonder Xander didn''t tell her too many details. He suffered a lot, even if it was just retelling the incident to her. It was surely a painful incident for him at the age of seven. Dion looked at Yera with concern and quickly interrupted the conversation. He purposely changed the topic back to what they needed to do. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 119 - Fated At Yang Ancestral Mansion "Madam Yang is so beautiful," Butler Garry commented as he stood beside Senior Yang. Sir Yang was examining the Yang family portrait that hung in the center of the mansion''s staircase. "She is indeed beautiful. Even my son, Xander is grateful to get his looks from his mother¡­" Senior Yang frowned, "That brat!" He complained, recalling how Xander would always mention, proudly who he got his beauty from. "Have you decided to tell him about young madam Yera?" asked the Butler. Senior Yang inhaled loudly as he closed his eyes. He was recalling -that- night. ********** Several Years Ago¡­ Yang Globals Group and Life Hospital Group had a collaboration that year. Xander was seven by that time. The two groups had a grand celebration and had conducted a three day long fundraising event. A treasure hunt was a part of the event. A lot of kids had participated back then, including Xander. The place was well secured. Handled entirely by the management of Life Hospital Globals. Senior Yang could recall how excited his son was for the event; even his wife had participated. But during the event one of the kids got lost in the woods. Everyone helped with the search, including his Madame Yang. Back then he had insisted for her not to get involved. His gut was giving him a bad feeling about the entire situation; like something bad could happen. But Kanya was a good tracker. They both knew she was the best to lead the search party to find the child. He could still remember how her words left no room for disagreement. "Hon," his beloved Kanya had declared. "It''s a six year old little girl! She''s lost in the wilderness right now, and you expect me to do nothing? Imagine how scared she is right now! Not to mention how dangerous the woods are! We both know I am the best option this girl has to be found; a whole day had passed James! I''m going and you won''t stop me. Just thinking that something like this could happen to our son..." His counter arguments were ignored. Kanya was just as stubborn as the day they first met. Senior Yang knew that nothing could change her mind, that he could do nothing to stop his wife from getting involved¡­ She did succeed in finding the little girl on her own. Kanya managed to send her location to the rescue team, but by the time they arrived, his wife was lifeless, hugging and shielding the little girl; Kanya was covered with blood. The little girl was unconscious, but alive. When Xander found out about this, he was so angry at that little girl. He cursed the little girl for being stupid, and getting lost in the woods. Because of her stupidity she cut his mother''s life short. It took a long time before Xander managed to get back on his feet. The psychiatrist said that losing his mother like this could be a reason why Xander had his erectile dysfunction disorder around women. He had rejection for women deep in his heart when he lost his mother. Everything Xander felt was psychological because he had no problem with his physical tests at all. Everything was perfectly normal except... that. ********** Senior Yang opened his eyes. This really was a small world. It was really a surprise how everything could be connected in the end by fate, a fortuitous encounter. Maybe the two were fated all along. Because that child, the little girl Xander cursed for so long and calling stupid, the little girl that was saved by his mother was none other than Yera Han; the only heiress of Life Globals group. The now was Xander''s wife, the woman who happened to be the only cure for his disorder. "I can feel the chills down my spine, Master. Young Master never bothered to check who Madame Kanya saved," Butler Garry recounted, hugging himself. "Indeed. Xander was too angry, he didn''t want to know¡­ I think he was afraid that he''d hold a grudge once he knew who that child was¡­ I remember him promising to make that child suffer. Imagine a seven year old boy saying those words; so I took care of the matter. No one will find out anything about what happened then. Even those who were involved, I made sure that they wouldn''t mention anything about it," stated Senior Yang. "Xander is a grown up; he''s a man now. I''m sure he''s not like how he used to be. Besides, I can tell he is head over heels for young madam Yera. He is devoted to her," Butler Garry pointed out. Senior Yang chuckled. The butler''s words rang true¡­ He believed the truth about Kanya would not be a hindrance, at least for his son, Xander. What he was afraid of was how Yera would react if she found out. He only hoped that everything would remain the same. "I will tell Xander about it and will let him decide what to do with Yera¡­ I think that''s the best thing to do; it''s not good to keep secrets for too long," responded Senior Yang before he let out a long deep sigh. Yera had been through a lot already and he wanted to avoid his daughter-in-law feeling burdened with this revelation. Kanya chose to save her by herself, he hoped Yera and Xander''s relationship would become stronger by this fact. Senior Yang smiled while he stared at his late wife''s lovely face and brilliant smile from the portrait. "Hon, you saved your daughter-in-law. I am so proud of you¡­" Butler Garry looked at his Master with admiration. Though everyone encouraged him to remarry, he decided against it. He remained devoted to his deceased wife. Instead, Senior Yang focused all his love and time, focusing on his only son. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 120 - Ominous War It was during the group break. Xander was at the hotel cafe, having a conversation with his trusted assistant, Ron and Rui while Yera and Rizie were together, enjoying the beach with the rest of their group. "Sir, I already briefed Rizie," reported assistant Ron as he handed the tablet to Xander. "It''s good that Yera will have a friend on the inside. She''s entering Life Globals alone, so she needs someone on the inside she can talk to about private things. Even though we implanted some of our own people there, it''s still better that Yera will have someone close, who can be by her side. Having Rizie go is an excellent idea in every aspect. The two already get along now, so their relationship would grow naturally. Overall, it''s less suspicious, so an advantage¡­" commented Rui as he drank his tea. He was glad for Yera to have someone like Rizie. She was connected to Xander since Xander''s closest cousin was Rizie''s sister-in-law. On the tablet Xander was watching the footage captured last night from outside his room. "How come you did not confirm who this person was? Looked at how he intentionally looked at the cameras. He clearly wanted us to see him. Who the hell will give a warning to an enemy like this. These people are too confident in showing off bluntly like this. It''s like saying that they are watching us." Xander exclaimed in gritted teeth. "We are not even sure if that''s a ''he''. Who knows maybe that hoodie is a ''she''?" commented Rui as he drank his coffee. He saw Dion come into the cafe,so he waved the other man over and said, "Come, join us." Dion f sat in the vacant seat beside Xander. Rui grabbed the tablet, and showed the footage to Dion. "As you instructed, Sir, we checked Dr. Yao, but found nothing suspicious at all," Ron clarified, responding to Rui''s comment. Rui seemed to suspect that Dr. Yao was involved. Dion looked around. He lowered his voice to a whisper, "Is it safe talking about this in such an open place?" The hotel cafe wasn''t entirely empty, and Dion wasn''t comfortable talking about serious matters in public places. He was always wary of bugs everywhere. Xander laughed and patted Dion''s shoulder. He proudly uttered, "See how reliable my brother-in-law is? I''ll be at peace once he joins Yera at Life Globals too. Don''t worry little bro, because the area was swept for bugs a while ago." Dion cringed, and complained, "Don''t call me little bro¡­ You''re giving me goosebumps. Stop making me feel so awkward for goodness sake." "Alright, I''ll call you bro-in-law," Xander teased more. Dion snorted, "Call me Dion! You''re just a year older than me" Dion shook his head seeing Xander chuckle in response. "Alright stop that you kids. Kidding aside, I really feel suspicious about Dr. Yao too Ron," Rui said, while he made eye contact with Ron adding, "Keep checking in on her¡­ Continue to tail her." "This person is fast and very capable. The real question is: who are they after? You, Xander, or my sister?" Dion wondered. "I will tell dad about this. Maybe he has an idea if our family has some enemies that I''m not aware of. Because I really don''t have any personal enemies. Maybe when it comes to business but that''s with Yera and her ex-fiance only. I don''t consider them enemies, just competitors..." responded Xander. He strongly believed that he wasn''t a target. Only Yera. "So, that person already knew about your relationship with my sister, Yera. If it''s her they''re targeting... That''s your room Xander. I only worry because, as of right now, no one has confirmed my sister''s identity, except for me." Dion pointed out. Indeed, there were strange incidents like this, but so far no one''s confirmed Yera''s identity. "How can you be so sure?" asked Rui. Dion rolled his eyes. "There''s only one person who wants my sister dead. Even though her death has been confirmed, there are still people making several attempts at checking her identity. That means they still haven''t confirmed a thing¡­ Besides, I have men under me working, and hacking datafiles in every DNA Testing facility." "What the heck! You stalker half brother! Such a creepy clingy brother!" Xander burst in disbelief. "Look who''s talking? Creepy, clingy husband," Dion muttered casually as he sipped his fresh fruit shakes. Rui and assistant Ron exchanged meaningful glances. Rui broke the creepier, clingier war by suggesting, "What about Rizie? I think she should know about Dion and his connection on Yera. That way both can work together, I believe. "No way! That woman is a chatterbox! She can know after, but not before," said Dion, terrified. "I told you: tell Yera everything as soon as possible. Yera was young when she said that she would never accept a sibling from a mistress. Your mom is not a mistress; she is a respectable woman and mother for staying quiet all these years in order to protect you and your father''s family. I know Yera would accept you without a second thought; you''ve done more than enough to protect her, even from the shadows," Xander was firm in voicing his opinion. Rui agreed, but Dion''s deep and conflicted sighs were their answer. Dion suddenly noticed something on the video. He changed the subject of their conversation as he replayed the footage, saying, "Check this out¡­ I''m seeing something strange¡­" Rui laughed and said, "What? Bare skin? I didn''t know you paid particular attention to a shirt sliding up¡­" "There''s something on that back!" said Dion. The man had keen eyes. He paused and zoomed in the video. Xander''s camera''s were the highest definition. "Crap!" Rui exclaimed, seeing what Dion was referring to. It was a mark on the back. "I''ve seen this mark before. This cyclone¡­ I''ve seen it in my country. I... have to go. I need to check on this¡­" Dion quickly stood up to leave. Xander instructed Ron to inform Ralf about this, while Rui recalled Dr. Yao when she wore her bikini. He had never seen her back because she often wore a kimono as her top. "I have to go too¡­" Rui said in haste. His mind was filled with imaginary images of Dr. Yao''s back. He needed to see it for himself. He didn''t completely trust Dr. Yao. He found her expressions hard to read. As a psychiatrist, this made him suspicious that he could always see deceit in her eyes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 121 - Best Gift On the last day of the team-building program, Sun instructed everyone to do individual action plan. Each individual would write a private letter to themselves. They would answer questions such as: "Today, what contributions am I most proud of?"; "What do I regret doing/saying, or not doing/saying?"; "In the future I''d like to be more..."; "I''d like to stop¡­ and start¡­".The letter was sealed and would be dropped off in their mailboxes at home in one month. Xander enthusiastically joined in, and would sneak glances at Yera. She took the activity seriously, not looking up once. Yera and Xander did enjoy a lot of games during the rest of the program. Unfortunately, they had to go back to the City in the morning. The group had a good dinner in the dining hall. Before everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest, the group had a final session. Xander, as head, gave a short speech. He went on, encouraging his subordinates and hoping that everyone enjoyed their trip. He continued, remarking that at the same time, they should have learned a lot of things from Sun''s team, that they could take home with them. Things everyone could use back at the workplace, along with achievable goals that would reinforce key findings from the program. "Thank you so much Dr. CEO, for that wonderful speech. I must say that this group is indeed lucky because we were instructed to prepare a small party in the function room; so we encourage everyone to join us! We will have various drinks, and everyone is allowed to get wasted. Right Dr. CEO?" announced Sun smiling, as he shifted his gaze to Xander. Xander smiled and nodded, adding in jest, "Just make sure there''s no violence afterwards, alright?" The group cheered. Some excitedly went into the function room, while others returned to their rooms to change into cuter, more ''selfie appropriate'' outfits. Meanwhile, Yera''s mobile phone beeped. She saw it was Xander. She looked around, but Xander was no longer in the dining hall. [Will you care to party with your husband alone? *wink*] Yera blushed, smiling bashfully before she typed her reply. [Alright. I''m going up now.] She was still smiling as she walked towards the elevator. She wondered what her husband was up to, as she walked in the lobby going to their room. She opened the door and chuckled seeing the dim light and flower petals all over the floor. Their room smelled just like the scented flowers. Then she heard a guitar strumming a¡­ Yera entered, following the petals and the row of lit candles, making their way to the bed, where Xander was sitting with a guitar. There was a chair and a small table with a bottle of wine about a meter away. Yera giggled as she sat on the chair that was obviously meant for her. It looked like she was about to watch a serenade live. Performed by her husband. He winked, as he began to sing. "I never knew I had a dream Until that dream was you When I look into your eyes The sky''s a different blue Thank you for loving me¡­ You are the best thing, That''s ever been mine¡­ When you say you love me Know, I love you more, Darling" Xander''s eyes never left Yera''s as he sang. Her heart was racing. Not because of how good Xander''s voice was, but because of his sincerity. His words were making her heart react crazily. She honestly wanted to pounce on him at that moment, but his voice was too mesmerizing. His eyes were penetrating deep into her soul. When Xander was done singing, he put the guitar on the side and held Yera''s hand. He pulled a box from his pocket and opened it. It was a bracelet. "What''s this for?" Yera asked, confused. What was the occasion? She wondered why Xander wanted to give her a present. "Hmm, nothing. I''m just very grateful for you returning my love. I just wanted to give you something special. A part for me of course. Only ''cause myself is the best gift I can offer to you, Darling." Xander''s shameless statement made Yera giggle again. "What? You don''t agree?" Xander muttered, pouting. Yera smiled and said, "I do agree¡­ Did I say otherwise? I feel really lucky to have you in my life. But I thought we would party alone¡­" said Yera with a grin. "Yeah¡­ I thought it''s better to be alone since you tend to go crazy whenever you''re drunk. It''s better for you to get drunk here. The two of us will go all out wasted all night long¡­" said Xander. Xander led Yera to the room''s personal mini bar and said, "I''ll be your bartender tonight madam. Please, tell me what you want to drink tonight. Don''t hesitate to instruct me. I''ll give you anything you want tonight. Yera''s eyes widened and she wickedly said, "Ohh, including a performance; like a strip tease?" Xander laughed as he mixed drinks and poured them into shot glasses for Yera. He said, "Of course! Anything for my Darling, this husband of yours will oblige." To Yera''s shock, Xander played music and even started dancing. "What the heck¡­!" she sniffed with rounded eyes, seeing how her husband was dancing seductively in front of her. ''Is this seriously happening?!'' Yera mused as she gulped, totally frozen from her seat as she looked at Xander in disbelief. "Did you drink already?" Yera mumbled, wondering if her husband was already drunk. Ah, but she didn''t remember smelling alcohol on him earlier. Xander did not respond. He continued with his s.e.xy dancing. He winked at Yera who was already as red as a tomato because of embarrassment. She grinned inwardly at the thought of herself being embarrassed, when she was not the one performing. Yera''s eyes watched her husband''s performance keenly. He was still shamelessly dancing in front of her. No one would be able to beat her husband''s shamelessness, but honestly she loved it; Xander''s shamelessness towards her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 122 - Stripping* Yera pursed her lips, kept it totally shut as she tried her best to control her laughter with Xander''s strip dancing. It was too funny but enticing at the same time. Yera did not know how to react that she ended up covering her eyes with her palm as she complained laughing, "Oh that''s enough¡­" "But you asked for strip dance. Why cover your eyes, I''m almost at the stripping part¡­" Xander said laughing. "Okay, that''s enough. Just pour me a drink instead." said Yera who abruptly removed her palms on her eyes to stare at Xander in her flushed face. "Alright¡­ I''m stopping now¡­" Xander said grinning. He was on the act of removing his shirt. Yera suddenly felt regretful and Xander noticed it. "Hmm, should I continue darling¡­" Xander wickedly murmured with a sensual roguish smirk on his face. Xander stared in Yera''s eyes while his body contorted in sensual movements that sent shivers down Yera''s spine. He was creating an S-form movement once more and this time he was walking towards her as he danced. ''Oh crap,'' Yera mused, totally frozen on her seat. She could not even break the eye contact. It was like Xander was pulling a magnet on her not to cover those eyes this time. "I think you should change your career," Yera whispered because Xander was not only a good singer but a good dancer too. He totally nailed the best performer in her eyes. Xander stopped when he was already at her front and leaned forward to give her a kiss. Yera felt his hand touched her shoulders down her arms to her hands in which he held lovingly and firmly. "Darling, dance with me," Xander whispered sensually before Yera felt him pulling her up from her seat. He guided her arms to encircle his neck while Xander pulled her closer by wrapping his arms around her waist. Yera followed as Xander guided her into a sweet slow dance. Yera leaned on Xander''s chest as she mumbled, "It''s like a prom dance. I never experienced it before though." She hated attending parties so she did not even participated in high school proms. "If you want we can do prom night every now and then but you''ll be able to dance only with me." Yera heard Xander spoke. She chuckled because it was not a bad idea, dancing intimately with her husband like this felt good. She felt so secure in his arms. She tilted her head and tiptoed so she could give Xander a kiss. She wanted his lips, those kissable lips that she longed for to have every single day. She gave him a passionate kiss. Their tongues danced together in the same rhythm as their bodies. Xander''s hands started to roam at Yera''s body, caressing her back then her curves before it went to unzip her dress from the back, letting the dress effortlessly slid down the floor. Yera gasped as Xander''s warm palms touched her bare back unhooking her bra next. She let go of her arms wrapped around his neck to unbutton his clothes. She wanted to feel his body warmth on hers. Her hands went down to unbuckle his pants next. And as she expected, like her, he was too aroused already with his manhood bulging hard beneath his briefs. Yera wanted to feel it so she touched and caressed it while she continued to kiss her husband who m.o.a.ned helplessly. She let go of his lips to kiss his neck, biting and making hickeys there and to his chest. "Ohh¡­" Xander gasped as his legs weakened because of the sensation running through his veins. He gulped when he felt Yera lowering down her kiss to his toned stomach, belly and to his manhood. "Darling¡­" he muttered in his hoarse voice when he felt her lips kissed his proud member teasingly. He unconsciously grabbed Yera''s hair and cursed. "Oh¡­ You will kill me with ecstasy," he grumbled, feeling Yera''s tongue licking that length of his member from base to its head before twirling her tongue on its tip. It tickled and burning him alive that his body was shaking with anticipation and excitement. His wife''s hands were playful too caressing his two small balls while she kept teasing his member in the center that was already dripping because of the nerve wrecking sensation. Xander bit his lower lip as he supressend his m.o.a.ns full of pleasure as Yera finally covered his member slowly inside her sweet and wonderful mouth. She was moving her head on him, in and out with her mouth to accommodate his length inside. "Oh Darling. You''re doing great¡­ Ohhh¡­ Hmmm its feels warm¡­" Xander could no longer help but voice his pleasures. "Hmmm¡­" he kept m.o.a.ning. "Darling¡­. Oh dear I love you¡­" his husky and stuttering voice hummed. Yera was feeling ecstatic along the whole performance she was doing. She wanted to please her husband as she herself was getting excited with her husband''s m.o.a.ns and cries. She could hear the music of pleasures coming from his mouth calling her name, saying he loved her so much all over again. She held half of his member as a support and sped up her movements as she clamped his member with her mouth, pushing and pulling repeatedly. She could feel his member inside her mouth growing bigger and bigger and Yera could tell that he was near his climax with his drastic m.o.a.ns and hummings. "Oh Darling. I''m almost there¡­. Ohhhh¡­ Ahhhhhhhh¡­" Xander cried as his body jerked, spreading his released in Yera''s mouth because his wife did not let go of his member at all. Sucking it deep while she looked into his eyes. Xander cursed as he caressed Yera''s head, he was still out of breath as he whispered, "I love you Darling¡­" He quickly scooped Yera up and carried her into his embrace. The night had just begun and he would end it by returning the favor to his dear, teasing, darling wife. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Skip it if you''re uncomfortable or not above 18 years of age. You''ve been warned.] Xander had brought Yera inside the bathroom where he pampered her by even brushing her teeth. "How come you always swallow it?" he murmured as he handed her the mouth wash. Xander was referring to his own fluids that Yera would often swallow whenever he would uncontrollably make his release inside her mouth. Yera was fl.u.s.tered with that blunt question that she turned deep red but then she snorted, "Research shows that there could be a natural antidepressant properties in it." Xander was totally amused by it and said grinning, "What the heck Darling? For real?" Yera''s mouth twitched as she responded, "Of course not. It''s only because I love the man who owned it, so that''s why the smell and taste was not bad I believe¡­" Xander could no longer take the bewilderment in his face as he pulled Yera for a sensational kiss. They were still both n.a.k.e.d, except for Yera who was still wearing her panties on. Xander gently pulled it off and led Yera in the hot tub filled with petals. He did not take her during the bath as they relaxed in the hot tub but merely caressed every part of his wife''s body as if he was giving her a ther.a.p.eutic massage that only left Yera wanting for more. "What are you doing?" Yera whispered as Xander continued to touch every part of her body as if he was memorizing every inch of her. Her husband was teasing her and she could no longer bear the anticipation any longer. All her skin hairs were up because of the electricity each touch brought, she was frantically shaking in every touch, because her husband was doing it e.r.o.t.i.cally, sending shivers to her spine. Xander only gave him a mischievous smile, before his finger touched Yera''s lips, trailing it''s line while his s.e.xy voice murmured, "I''m helping your body to relax Darling because as soon as we go to our bed¡­ I''m afraid you''ll end up sleepless." ''Relaxing? No¡­ You''re making me burn up!'' Yera mused that her misty eyes flickered with desire without her knowing. Xander saw those eyes burning of desire and he cursed inwardly. He suddenly stood up and pulled Yera out to the tub. He quickly dried her body and hair with the towels then carried her towards their bed. "I can walk you know¡­" Yera muttered with a grin. "But I love carrying you like this¡­ It''s like I have full power over you." Xander responded with a wink that left Yera speechless as their eyes locked with each other. ''Didn''t he know that he has full power over me already?'' Yera wanted to say but kept quiet. Xander laid her down on their bed and placed himself on top of her for a deep kiss on her lips that shortly trailed down her neck followed onto her chest as his lips lingered there. "Hmmm¡­" soft cries escaped Yera''s mouth as her husband steadily attended her bosoms, taking her hard peaks in his mouth. His tongue would teasingly play by swirling on it making Yera quivered, arching her body, asking for more. Xander would heed those body requests and would stop licking and biting to suck those peaks alternately while his hand and fingers caressed the other. One of his hands started to trail downwards, going down her nether region, urging Yera to part her legs apart as he caressed the sides of her thighs. Xander''s fingers touched his wife''s private part that was already damped¡­ too wet that was tempting Xander to enter her that instant but he would not. He wanted to make her scream as he did her there with his mouth. He crawled down, planting kisses on every part his mouth would pass onto as he moved south. Yera bit her lower lip when she felt Xander''s warm breath in between her thighs. Her right arm was raised upward, grabbing the pillow in her head while her left hand was on Xander''s hair. Her h.i.p.s wildly arched as Xander''s tongue started invaded her privacy, licking and lapping her like her womanhood was an ice cream. "Ahhh¡­" Yera could only helplessly m.o.a.n as she moved her head left and right drastically while her husband was sucking her clit. She was too lost with the enormous pleasure she was getting from her husband''s tongue and mouth. "Ahhhh, Darling¡­ You''re killing me with love," she whispered loudly without her knowing that encouraged Xander to be more aggressive as he plunged his tongue in her insides, thrusting as deep as he could, pushing in and out, making Yera screamed as she reached her climax, "Ahhhhh". "Hmmm, you taste so sweet Darling." he commented as he licked her juices while his wife''s body convulsed beneath him. Yera pulled him up as she murmured, "Take me wholly¡­ I want you inside..." Xander obliged and positioned himself while Yera parted her legs more as she wrapped her arms on Xander''s neck and pulled him for a passionate kiss. "Hmmm," another m.o.a.n from Yera as Xander brushed his member on her sleek wet folds teasingly. She arched her lower body hastily, to urge him to enter her and quenched her craving. "Ahhhh¡­" she gasped in ecstasy as Xander entered her in one deep thrust. "You feel so good." she voiced out in her head but the words came out loudly. Xander moved in and out of her and Yera joined his rhythm, matching his movements with the same intensity. "Ahh Darling, you''re driving me mad. It felt so good inside of you like this," Xander responded. He never thought he could experience something as wonderful as his his entire life, a union with his beloved wife like this was truly a blessing for him. The intensity went higher as the two bodies collided. Xander was thrusting hard and faster inside of her and Yera reached her orgasm for the second time around. With her body still shaking she moved her h.i.p.s and Xander growled, a few more deep thrust and he too climaxed. Spreading all his fluids inside of her wife. He stayed on top of her not moving at all. Both of them were panting. Yera hugged him while he buried his face on her neck. After a while Xander tilted his head and met Yera''s eyes as he whispered, "I love you so much¡­" Yera''s lips curved into a sweet smile as she answered, "I love you too." She was startled when she felt Xander moved once more inside of her. She looked at him who smiled at her bashfully as he whispered, "I warned you¡­ You''ll be sleepless tonight Darling." Yera gulped with how serious her husband''s voice was but then pulled him into a passionate kiss as her answer. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 124 - Nightmare She had been wandering around since she got lost and all she saw around were huge trees. She could hear the grumbling of her stomach, devoid of any proper food. All that she could eat were some leaves that she thought were edible and also were soft enough to chew. Another night came by and again she carried her frightened self on the branch of a tree, leaned her back on the tree trunk, crying with fear and longing to see her family, missing her home. She wrapped her arms on her knees thinking of ways to ge out of this place. "Mom, dad¡­" she cried¡­ She almost forgot, her parents were already dead. She only had her grandfather now... so she whispered, "grandpa." Her voice was already raucous. She''s been shouting all day long and now she felt as if she had no more voice. Her body was very weak and she felt cold, probably because of the heavy rain and thunder last night. She was too scared, "Please no more rain, thunder and lightning. Grandpa, please find me soon," she whimpered while crying. Her body winced when she heard another thunder roaring from the sky. Her whole body shook in terror.... She tried to stand up to shout once more. "Grandpa!!!!" But ended up falling on the ground. She felt so helpless that she burst out crying hard. Suddenly she heard a voice. A voice shouting her name. "Yera!!!" Yera!!!" Someone came, calling her name in the dark. She quickly stood up and shouted in her toddler''s voice, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!" She saw a beam of light coming at her. A woman was almost near her when she saw her being attacked. "No! No!!!" Yera heard the woman scream. The woman''s face was a bit blurry to her because of the tears that were clouding her eyes. Yera felt someone abruptly pull her while the woman seemed to be fighting the other people around. She was shaking, totally scared of whatever was happening. "Be quiet kid¡­" hushed a man''s voice who held her tightly. Yera felt the man holding her panic. Immediately, he put a knife under her neck as the man exclaimed, "Don''t you dare come near or this kid will be dead!!!" But the woman was fast. She snatched Yera from the grab of that man and shouted, "Run!" Yera heard the voice of that lady and she did as told. But because it was dark, Yera fell down, but she managed to grab onto something and tried to get up. She felt a hand grabbing and pulling her up. "Don''t be scared darling, grab tightly onto my hand and don''t look down. Just look at me darling." it was the woman from before, Yera was sure of it because of the soothing voice and loving tone she had. "Bitch!!!" a man shouted. "Ahhh" cried the woman, as if she was in pain, but her grip on Yera''s arm tightened. She let loose one of her hands while struggling and battling with the man. By that time, the clouds moved and the moon suddenly shone brightly and Yera saw a man fall. She felt the woman grab her and tried to pull her up and she succeeded. Yera had no strength already. She could only smell the rustic blood when she felt the woman hug her tightly as she whispered, "You''re safe now darling. Shhh, you''ll be home soon." Those were the last words Yera heard before she totally lost consciousness¡­ ***** "Darling¡­ Wake up¡­" Xander whispered as he gently tapped Yera''s shoulder. He was awakened by Yera''s mumbling. She seemed to be having a bad dream, but he was alarmed when he felt her sobbing in her dream. Tears were rolling down from her eyes as she kept whimpering. "Darling, please wake up." Xander''s voice was louder this time while he slightly patted Yera''s face. A few more seconds and Yera finally opened her eyes and looked at him with terrorised expressions. It took her a while to regain composure and realise where she was. She lazily rose up to sit and leaned her body on the headrest. She bit her lower lip and looked askance at Xander with a frightened expression on her face. It had been a while since she last dreamed of that incident that happened when she was a kid. Everything was detailed in her dream everytime, but whenever she would wake up, only fragments of the incidents remained in her memory. "A nightmare?" Xander whispered as he wiped the teardrops visible on her face. "Yeah¡­ the memories of the incident when I was a kid. I barely recall it whenever I''m awake. Remember when I told you why I''m scared of thunder? That time when I got lost in the woods, someone, a woman, actually saved me..." she said. "Hmm, I should be grateful to her for saving my lovely wife. If not for her, I won''t have the chance to meet you." said Xander as he pinched Yera''s nose. She too was actually curious to find out about the woman who had saved her that time, but her grandfather said that the family of that woman wanted their privacy. Even her grandfather did not disclose the woman''s identity to her whenever she asked. However, Yera always wanted to personally thank her because she was alive only because of that woman. But weirdly, she was unable to find a single thing or link related to her ever. She sighed¡­ She would check on it again later as soon as she was done with her current problems and have found out the perpetrator of her kidnapping and her grandfather''s killer. Maybe, Xander''s people would be able to find out about her as they were definitely more capable in their job. Xander got up from the bed to get her some water. She looked at her wrist watch and it was already 4:00 AM. So she only slept for an hour. She realized she was still n.a.k.e.d and she hurriedly covered herself with the comforter. Just then she heard Xander chuckle as he sat on the bed to hand her the bottle of water. "Here darling drink this. Why are you still blushing? It''s not like I haven''t seen any part of your body. I have even counted how many moles are there on your body! Do you know which mole is my favorite?" Xander said in a hoarse and low voice, teasingly. Yera almost choked with water and her face turned deep red. Xander chuckled and with his customised mischievous grin, took the bottle of water from her hand and put it on the bedside table. That moment, Yera could already read that look on her husband''s face. She was no longer startled as soon as the comforter was pulled off from her body, and her round b.r.e.a.s.ts were presented n.a.k.e.d, right before him. "This one is my favorite mole," Xander muttered as he sucked her right rosy a.r.e.o.l.a where one of her moles was located. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 125 - I Want More** [WARNING: Explicit mature content ahead. Skip it if you''re uncomfortable or not above 18 years of age. You''ve been warned.] Yera gasped as soon as Xander sucked her a.r.e.o.l.a. It was Xander''s favorite mole but it was Yera''s most sensitive spot too. She loved it whenever Xander would take those n.i.p.p.l.es of hers in his mouth. "Ahmmm," she m.o.a.ned subconsciously. Her hands grabbed Xander''s hair while he continued to lick and suck on her n.i.p.p.l.e. She arched her body without her knowing because of the overpowering sensations of passion her husband was sending down her whole body. Yera moved and placed herself on Xander''s lap and brushed her already damped flower on his rigid member. Xander growled and suddenly left her b.r.e.a.s.ts to look into her eyes and whispered bluntly in his hoarse voice, "Good thing I let you charge yourself for an hour, darling. I love your movements on top of me¡­ back and forth¡­.up and down... " Yera blushed crimson red on hearing his words and encircled her arms on Xander''s neck and kissed him on his lips to hide her blushing. She moved and adjusted her h.i.p.s in order to accommodate his member and covered it with her warmth. She gently moved her h.i.p.s and buttocks downward covering all his hardness with her opening. Both m.o.a.ned in pleasure as Yera began to move up and down on him while they kissed each other passionately, sucking each other''s sweetness as their tongues collided with each other claiming their dominance on the other. Yera kept on pumping him up and down. "Oh darling¡­ Harder please¡­ That''s it¡­" Xander mumbled without him knowing and Yera followed every order he gave. Xander kissed her neck sucking and licking her there and then swiftly moved down to her n.i.p.p.l.es once more. He devoured those hard peaks alternately while his hand was busy in squeezing the other one and gently playing and pinching her n.i.p.p.l.es with his fingers, making Yera cry in ecstasy. Yera''s movement changed into back and forth while he continuously sucked and licked her n.i.p.p.l.es. She arched her body backward giving him more access as she sped her movement on him, riding on him hard like he was a horse. Xander was about to reach his climax but as usual he controlled it because he wanted Yera to bathe him in her milk first with her own release. She moved faster, lost in passion as she m.o.a.ned and called her husband''s name. Xander could feel her contractions being inside her, indicating she was on the verge of her pinnacle. He held her buttocks for support as he met her movements, slamming her hard and deep as she rode him back and forth. "Ahhhh¡­" Yera cried out as she reached her climax, her body shaking as she jerked and her fluids covered Xander''s member who had his released at the same time as hers. "Ohhh, I want more darling, I want to love you like this forever," Xander mumbled and suddenly flipped and laid Yera down on the bed as he continued to move inside her, not minding the sticky fluids dripping from Yera''s flower, both his and hers. He thrust deep and hard inside Yera while he kissed her lips hungrily. He could never get enough of her, and he never understood why! His wife''s scent always drove him insane, he wanted her more and more. Yera on the other hand accepted her husband''s love making with her legs wide open. She too was burning with the same passion and loved to be wanted by her husband, she wanted him to be this passionate, to be like this with her, forever. She desired him with the same intensity as he desired her. She met his every thrust with a deep m.o.a.n while he was kissing her. Xander let her lips go for a while and lifted his head, to look at her face. Her eyes were closed while she was floating in the sea of pleasure, but Xander murmured, "Open your eyes darling and look at me¡­" Yera did as he said, she locked her eyes with his and both their eyes were filled with passion and love. Xander was soon about to reach his second release just by looking at Yera''s dilated moist eyes and sweet face with sweat trickling down her temples... "I love you darling," he lovingly whispered as he thrust deeper, harder and faster. His gaze never left her eyes, watching how his wife was enjoying his thrusts, her mere face full of euphoria was like more than paradise for Xander. "Ahhhh¡­" Yera''s body convulsed the second time around while Xander was still inside of her. A few more aggressive thrust of his member inside his wife and Xander followed his wife in reaching his second pinnacle, making him shiver in pure pleasure as he thrust more to shoot out all his fluids inside his wife. Then he collapsed on top of Yera, burying his face on her sweet scented neck. Yera hugged him. "Let''s sleep one more hour¡­" she whispered, feeling exhausted after their several love makings. ...... The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the group prepared to return back to the City as scheduled. The distance was long. Xander still joined the group in their shuttle bus but this time he was not seated beside Yera. Xander sat beside Dion instead while Yera sat with Rizie. Rizie chuckled as she looked on her opposite side where Dion and Xander were seated. "I guess, a lot did party sleeplessly last night," she mumbled pertaining to Xander whose head was rested on Dion''s shoulder. Rizie looked at her right side, where Yera was also sleeping soundly using her neck pillow. Dion''s face was too wrinkled that Rizie could not help but tease him. "You''ll understand this feeling once you''re married." Whispered Rizie that made Dion roll his eyes. "Stop spurting nonsense as if you know everything when you yourself hadn''t experienced a thing yet." Dion mumbled with twitched mouth. Rizie pouted her lips and did not respond because she actually had never experienced this before and she did not know how to counter that fact. She only shook her head because she simply understood that the couple obviously did not sleep last night and had played around all night long... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 126 - Make Sure It’s Important Or I’ll Kill You At Yang Ancestral Mansion "Dad, do we have some important occasion or something to celebrate?" Xander asked seeing the extraordinary feast his father had prepared to welcome them back homel. It was almost evening when they all arrived at Yang Hospital and then Yera secretly rode with Xander from the bas.e.m.e.nt of the hospital as usual. Senior Yang smiled and walked towards Yera and gave her a warm hug. "Welcome back daughter. I heard an accident occured during your trip, I was anxious when I heard about it but I''m glad you and Xander are both well. I''m very happy today that you two are back home so I have prepared all the dishes that I believe you like." Senior Yang said followed by a wink that brought a bashful sweet smile on Yera''s lips. "Thank you father," Yera whispered with her broadest smile and walked to her seat when her father-in-law signaled them to sit. She really loved it, how thoughtful and heartwarming her father-in-law was with her always. Yera could feel a real family in Xander''s household and she was really happy. During dinner, her father-in-law asked how their team was building, he was very caring for her health and everything that Xander only shook his head with a grin as he listened with the two enjoying their chats. "Darling, the mixed vegetables are good. Have some¡­" Xander said and put some on Yera''s table. Senior Yang watched his son take care of Yera full of care and love. ''Maybe it will be better not to tell him anything.'' Senior Yang mused suddenly seeing how happy the couple were. He was not really sure how the truth would impact the good relationship between the couple. He let out a long deep sigh. He decided to tell Xander everything as soon as he went back home but now he was a bit hesitant. ''Kanya¡­ What should I do?'' Senior Yang suddenly went into a dilemma. "Dad, are you there? What''s wrong? You stared at us without blinking," Xander asked grinning when he noticed his father was in deep thought while looking at them. Senior Yang smiled and commented bluntly, "Nothing, just wondering when I can finally have grandchildren in our big mansion." Yera''s face blushed hard with that comment unlikely with Xander''s wide ear to ear grin. "Don''t worry Dad, I''m working hard on it¡­" He mumbled proudly and Yera subconsciously poked him with her red cheeks and said, "Stop it." Senior Yang laughed and added, "You two look great together." And at the same moment he decided to not disclose the truth to Xander because he was afraid of the aftermath. The atmosphere was just too good to kill with an incident that already happened in the past. After dinner, the couple went into their room. Xander was so playful that he showered Yera several kisses as soon as they were inside the room. The couple were smooching and giggling when Xander''s mobile phone rang. Several rang filled the room but Xander was too busy kissing Yera but the ringing did not stop disturbing the intimate moment the couple were having. Yera gently pushed Xander and said, "Answer it first. I think it''s important. I''ll go clean up first." Xander cursed the caller silently and gave her a forced nod. "Hello," Xander scoffed and added, "Make sure it''s important or I''ll kill you." Ralf who was on the other line gulped and cleared his throat before saying, "Sir, I believe this matter is of great importance." "What is it?" Xander asked. "Sir, I sent you the complete files and reports. I suggest you check it right now¡­ and alone..." reported Ralf. Xander creased his forehead and looked at the bathroom where Yera was. "Alright. I got it," Xander said before he ended the call. He walked to the bathroom and knocked. "Yes?" Yera shouted. "Darling I''ll just go into the study room in a while to check an important matter. Do wait for me okay?" said Xander before he went straight into his study area.. He opened his laptop and checked the files Ralf was referring to. His face darkened, with forehead creased, Xander snorted, "What is this?" .... Yera was humming as she went out of the bathroom in her bathrobe. She felt refreshed after a warm bath. She opened her closet to choose sleepwear. Before she would often choose a pair of pajamas but now, with a bashful grin on her face, her hands picked up a royal blue silk slip comfortable night dress. She looked at her own reflection at the mirror before a contented smile curved on her natural red lips. The color enhanced her skin tone more. She giggled then mumbled, " I can even giggle now¡­" Then quickly jumped on their bed and hid herself under the comforter since she knew her husband would definitely and absolutely tease her for her sudden having a different taste on sleepwear. Xander was the one who chose her nightgowns and lingeries before and to be honest she had no plans in wearing them at all. Well that was before of course before she came to love Xander. After thirty minutes, Yera''s eyes started to feel heavy. She looked at their wall clock. Xander was inside his study area for more than an hour already. "Is it about work?" she mumbled. Xander was slacking at work these past few days so Yera thought that he probably had a pile of important things to review. She yawned several times already that she could no longer contain her drowsiness because her body was tired also not to mention that it was already late. Xander, on the other hand, did not move on his seat at all for hours. His face was blank and expressionless, indicating he was in a very deep conflicted thoughts. Finally, he decided to stand up from his seat and walked out from his study area. He walked on their bed where Yera was already sleeping soundly. He silently and carefully joined her on their bed. He hugged her tightly and buried his face on her neck... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 127 - Make A Promise The next day, Yera woke up late. She had a very deep sleep. She opened her eyes and saw Xander with his elbow and hand supporting his head while he stared at her lovingly. Yera smiled and said, "Morning." Xander greeted her with a smile as he whispered, "Good morning Darling." He leaned forward and gave her a little kiss, smack on her lips. Then he rose quickly from the bed. Yera noticed that he was already dressed. "I will wait for you in the dining area with my dad. Get dressed hon. I''m going to show you a place very close to my heart before I drop you off at the hospital." he said before hastily leaving the room. Yera''s eyebrows crossed. She was fl.u.s.tered with Xander''s casual facial expression. Yes, he was smiling but she felt it was very different from his usual smile; something was lacking in it. She rose up from the bed and went directly to their bathroom to have a quick shower. Inside, Yera paused and sighed. Nothing happened last night. Was it because she slept heavily? Knowing how her husband had been acting over the past few days, she felt something was not right with Xander. Another long and heavy exhale came from her mouth. "Maybe there''s a problem at work," she mumbled to herself unconsciously. Xander must have hit another hiccup. She would just ask him later. She didn''t need her head spinning so much just guessing what had happened. Or she was probably just thinking too much? Yera''s face crumpled as she murmured, "He didn''t even notice my nightgown." She wore the nightgown for nothing. She suddenly wondered how long Xander took inside his study area. Well he woke up earlier than her so he probably did not stay up that long. She immediately changed into a nice flattering black and white dress with a windowpane. The dress also had side ties that emphasized her curves. Then she went out of the room for breakfast. Xander would casually talk like before during breakfast. Today was no different. While putting food on Yera''s plate, Yera couldn''t help but sense that something was off with him. Inside the car, Yera could no longer take the silence so she asked, "Are you alright?" Xander looked at her and smiled, "Yeah. Why?" Yera''s head shook as she honestly muttered, "I feel like you haven''t been yourself since this morning. I mean, is there something bothering you?" Xander exhaled loudly before while he moved to grab her hands. "Nothing is wrong. Today, I will bring you to my mother''s grave." Yera smiled at Xander and slightly nodded. Maybe she really was overthinking things. Xander was not a clown after all for expecting him to give her a non-stop bright smile. ''So stupid of you Yera,'' she scolded herself inwardly. They went inside a cemetery named Memory Forest, where the buried loved ones was inside a pod that could provide nutrients to a tree planted above it. The site was filled with good greenery, with a lot of trees as Xander and Yera walked hand in hand. Xander halted, walking in front of one of the trees where her mother''s name was engraved. The tree had a broad canopy, lush green and a relatively short, broad trunk. It did have a great shade. "Do you know why my father chose this tree?" Xander suddenly asked. "The tree looks sturdy and with good shade. It suits your mother well. Every mom is like a tree''s canopy. She provides shade for the family." Yera responded as she touched the tree. "It''s a bottle tree¡­ The swollen trunk stores water in case of drought. The woodlands it came from are said to be used to make shields. Just like how my mom died. She became water for drought, and a shield for a life." Xander explained. "You had such a great mom," Yera muttered adoringly. She felt at ease that Xander was opening up to her about his mom. Yera felt Xander''s hand on her as he whispered, "Mom, do you see my wife? She''s very pretty right? She grew up nice and well; I love her very much. She said she loves me too. Shall I ask her to swear before you that no matter what happens, she must love your son forever, and never leave his side?" Xander turned to look at Yera intently, holding both her hands with his. He inhaled and exhaled loudly before saying, "I think my mom would want you to make a promise." Yera chuckled but pursed her lips when she noticed how serious Xander''s face was at that moment. She smiled and let out a long deep breath before vowing, "Mother-in-law, I don''t know what''s with your son right now, but I promise, and swear before you that I will love your son forever and will stay by his side forever too." She winked at Xander before adding, "Please let me be his water during this drought, and his shield whenever he needs protection." Instantly, tears suddenly fell from Xander''s eyes. Yera didn''t expect that kind of reaction. Her face became wrinkled with worry as she cupped Xander''s face and asked, "What''s wrong Darling. Oh God, did I say something terrible? Why are you crying¡­?" It was the first time Yera saw Xander bawling like this. She was quite fl.u.s.tered, panicking while she wiped tears away from his cheeks. "You''re scaring me¡­ Is there something wrong?" Yera mumbled as she continued to wipe Xander''s tears that kept on pouring like rain. Xander shook his head, still crying, he suddenly pulled Yera to his embrace and hugged her tightly. "Mom, you heard her right? She promised. No matter what happens in the future, she will love me, and stay with me forever." Xander murmured, sobbing. Yera gently patted Xander''s back and repeated, "Yes I promised. Please stop crying darling. You''re worrying me." "I love you¡­" were the words Xander kept on whispering in her ear in between sobs. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 128 - Comfort In The Bed At Yang Hospital Yera was too distracted by Xander''s strange behavior this morning. She let out a long sigh for her husband. She felt sympathy in her chest for him, as that was the first time she had seen Xander be emotional. ''He really loves his mother. So much more than I thought,'' she mused. She felt the longing and grief within her husband''s cries. Her heart was aching for him, but all she could do was to comfort him. She hugged him tightly and patted his back, "Your mom would be proud of you. You grew up to be a good man. She may have not been by you physically, but I''m sure she was always beside you, watching over you," were the words she whispered. Yera shook her head and released another sigh. She felt like she should do more for her husband. "Doc, where do you want to eat for lunch?" asked Rizie, interrupting her deep thought. "Everything alright Doc?" Rizie asked seeing Yera that got startled. Rizie noticed she seemed out of herself since she had arrived this morning. Yera invited Rizie to sit in the chair opposite her, "Hmm, this morning Xander brought me to his mother''s grave¡­" Then she told Rizie what happened. "Oh, that''s heartbreaking, I can''t even imagine Dr. CEO crying to be honest. He''s always so cheerful. So his mother''s death must have given him a deep painful scar. To be honest, I wouldn''t want any of my family to die tragically like that; I mean, I wouldn''t even know what to do if someone dear to me died of old age." The two women were silent, thinking about their loved ones. "By the way," Rizie began, "I asked my brother to help me about that matter we talked about. He said the file was confidential, but he could actually look into it. It''s just that he''s been quite busy these past few days. There''s been an increase in terrorist attacks lately." explained Rizie. Yera nodded. She actually didn''t dare to ask Xander about more details. She only listened, happy with whatever he was willing to disclose. She was still very interested to know the details, but she would try finding those things out by other means. She wanted to avoid asking Xander and her father-in-law directly, because she was sure that recalling such incident for them would be not good at all. She appreciated Rizie for being with her like this. Rizie had this ability to see through to her heart without even asking like how she was doing things on her own like asking her brother, who was in the military, to get information Yera would want to have. "Thanks Rizie," Yera sincerely said. Rizie smiled at her. "No worries Doc. I told you this kind of things piques my interest. Solving cases - I seem to have a knack for it. By the way Doc, I have an appointment to Dr. Rui later. I''ll be sure to mention this to him, about my passion for unsolved cases, I mean. I''ll also try asking about Dr. CEO''s mother, maybe he knows something." explained Rizie with a wink. Yera chuckled and said, "I might surprise Xander at lunch and bring him food. I won''t be able to accompany you for a few days Rizie." She would stay by Xander''s side as often as she could. She would soon leave Yang Hospital and have limited time to spend with Xander. Rizie stood up to leave. As she reached the door, she back turned around to face Yera. A wicked grin was slashed on her face as she openly suggested, "You know Doc¡­ I heard the best way to comfort a man, especially a husband is through bed. Comfort in the bed¡­" Yera''s eyes rounded. She could not believe a single person would dare to candidly utter something like that with that sly. She responded with a burst, "What the heck Rizie!" Rizie giggled and winked before quickly bouncing out of her sight. Yera touched her blushing cheeks as her forehead furrowed, suddenly thinking if she should listen to Rizie''s clever advice or not. She bit her lip, dialing assistant Ron''s number. She wanted to check if Xander was in his office. "Yes, madam." Ron had answered immediately, "He cancelled all his appointments today. But, I think he will soon leave on his own. He asked me for one of his car keys." " I understand. I''ll call him directly." Yera said, ending her call. Yera stayed on her chair for quite sometime, thinking deeply before she punched in Xander''s number. But his number only kept on ringing. Yera stood up and ran towards her door to go directly to Xander''s office while she continued to listen to his number ring. She was panting when she reached Xander''s office. "Oh Madam¡­ Boss just left¡­" Assistant Ron said as soon as he saw her. "Did he tell where he is going? He''s not answering his phone." Yera muttered, still catching her breath. Assistant Ron shook his head. Yera shifted her gaze to secretary Ness, who was sitting in her own desk, across from Ron. Secretary Ness also shook her head and said, "He didn''t say anything about where to go Madam, but he did order us that say that he will be on vacationary leave for a while. In case someone asking for him. He did not disclose where." "Try calling him." Yera instructed assistant Ron. "Sorry Madam but he told us not to contact him and he will contact us instead," Ron shot back. Yera''s face furrowed, fretting. "How about me? Did he mention something?" she asked, almost a whisper. Assistant Ron and Secretary Ness exchanged meaningful glances before both shook their heads. Yera released heavy air from her lungs. She marched inside Xander''s office, finally taking a seat on the couch with slumped shoulders. She typed a message to Xander, and tried calling him again, but this time his phone was turned off. Outside the office, secretary Ness elbowed assistant Ron and asked, "What''s going on? Did they have a fight or something?" Assistant Ron pursed his lips, "Don''t ask me. My lips are sealed. Forever." Secretary Ness'' face crumpled as she mumbled irritably, "Whatever!" Assistant Ron heaved a conflicted sigh. He knew where the Boss was but he was clearly instructed not to mention where he was. He recalled asking, "What about the Madame, Boss?" "I said I want to be alone for a while¡­No one, I repeat¡­ NO ONE should know where I am," his Boss firmly ordered. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 129 - Conflicting Position Xander''s mobile phone kept ringing while he drove down the road. He briskly switched the ringer off without even looking at who was calling. To be honest, he was still shocked with what he just found out. Last night was a very difficult night for him. He only stared into his computer monitor for a long time. He had been up, reading all the reports about his mother''s tragic death. He wanted to cry but strangely no tears fell out from his eyes then. His mother was found dead near a cliff with that kid in her tight embrace; both were covered with blood. The autopsy said all the blood was there because his mother struggled hard fighting the assailant. It was analyzed that his mother held a little girl, Yera, tight as to not fall from the cliff while she fought hard. His mother received multiple stab wounds in every part of her body. In the end, this caused his mother to lose her life. It took him years to recover. He remembered as a child, that he was full of hatred for losing his mother in such a tragic way. Although, everyone around him would say that his mother did a brave and heroic thing, for him, it was full of idiocy. Yes, that little girl was saved but he lost his pillar; his loving mother. He cursed that little girl, calling her idiot and stupid by getting lost when no one else did. The rules were simple: stay within the marked areas, and don''t cross the ropes that marked where the boundary covered. There was even security outside the ropes¡­ Xander knew by now that something had happened before Yera got lost. Yera did not accidentally get lost and he would look to the bottom of everything but this time¡­ he would need some time alone... He abruptly turned the steering wheel, moving towards the side of the road as tears clouded his eyes once more. He needed time alone to fix his emotions. Recalling everything was too hard for him. He was afraid Yera would notice his emotional distress. He was even afraid for Yera to find that truth, afraid that Yera would feel guilty for everything. Something that might lead her to distance herself from him, that was a real possibility. He was crying hard. The perpetrators of his mother''s killing were sentenced to a lifetime inside jail and were all killed behind bars. Xander scoffed as he gritted his teeth. Everything came into light now. Back then he didn''t bother to check everything because he did not want to remember such a tragedy. But then, the consequences seemed not to agree with him. He would call his dad soon to discuss the matter. After some more time, Xander exhaled loudly. He started the engine, and returned to the road. He was on the way to his private villa. There, he would often hide, finding solitude in himself and enough time to think things straight whenever he was going through something hard. He would message his wife soon. He knew she would be full of worry, and he didn''t want that. However, at this rate he was unable to talk to her cheerfully like before. His tears fell again as he recalled Yera''s words before his mother''s tree, ''Please let me be his water during this drought, and his shield whenever he needs protection''. "I hope she kept her promise mom," Xander mumbled with a sigh. He did not know if he would tell Yera everything. He was in a conflicting position. Being alone for some time would help him think hard on how he should proceed further. And now, he was not ready to tell Yera everything, because he was afraid of how the matter could impact Yera. Not now, because Yera had her own battles ahead. He did not want to add anymore burdens on her by having her find out the truth about that tragic incident. Something that was already in the past. ...¡­.. Yera stayed on the couch for quite some time before she called for assistant Ron. She instructed, "Give me the places where Xander would often love to go and stay." Assistant Ron nodded, and scratched his head as he went back to his seat. The Boss did not instruct him not about what Madame had asked. Maybe it''s safe to fulfil this request of Madame. ''As long as I won''t disclose the exact place of the Boss, I''m safe,'' he mused as he prepared all the information his Madame needed. He bit his lip, looking over the printed doc.u.ment twice. Obviously, at the top he put his Boss'' villa. It was his Boss'' favorite hang-out. Assistant Ron sighed as he stood up to give the information to his Madame. Yera looked at it and furrowed her forehead. First on the list was Xander''s villa where she had an accident along the way. Back when she was still Deyna. She dismissed assistant Ron and checked the wall clock. If Xander would not come home today, and still remained out of touch and uncontactable, she would check all the places he loved to hang-out at. She decided to check the villa last. It was a subconscious choice, as she was avoiding the trauma of losing her late fiance, Bernard. Her mobile phone beeped. She was needed in the Operating Room. She called Chief Doctor Gong to ask him to task another doctor instead to do the surgery. A patient''s life was very important, and she would never go inside the operating room if she was not prepared physically, emotionally and mentally. Yera was a meticulous woman, and there should be no room for mistakes inside her operating room. She would rather not do the surgery if she was not focused enough. Right now, she was not prepared and unfocused. She was disoriented because she was worrying about her husband. She just wanted to be with her husband. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 130 - The Debt Yera was having a very unsettled feeling because Xander''s number was still off. She thought a little and dialed her father-in-law instead and informed him what happened from the time they went to her mother-in-law''s grave. "Alright daughter. Don''t fret¡­ I''m sure Xander is fine. For now, let him be alone. He probably wants time to be alone and he doesn''t want you to see his vulnerable side so he had gone away for a while . I''m sure he will soon contact you. Are you still in the hospital?" Senior Yang asked from the other side. Yera sighed and answered, "No father. I''m out right now. I wanted to look for him since I''m worried about him really." Senior Yang''s forehead wrinkled as he instructed firmly, "Oh dear go home directly instead. I will take care of the matter. Come home¡­" Senior Yang ended the call and dialed Assistant Ron immediately. "Tell me what happened." he ordered in his serious voice. Assistant Ron on the other line reported to the Old Master that Xander found out the truth about the incident of his mother''s death. Senior Yang''s shoulders dropped when he came to know everything and he helplessly uttered, "Alright. I understand." He ended the call and massaged his temples. Nothing could remain hidden, that was definitely for real. The truth had to come out some day, one way or another, and it was bound to disturb Xander like this. He was sure Xander would have gone to his private villa to come to terms with everything. He was inside his room resting. He stood up and grabbed the picture frame of his wife kept on his bedside table and sat on his couch. "Love, I''m sure our son is very hurt right now and scared at the same time," he murmured while staring at his late wife''s photo in which Kanya was smiling brightly, the same bright and beautiful smile his son Xander had inherited from her. He knew his son well. Xander must be scared and afraid his wife would find out about it. "Love, should I try to help our son out?" he whispered as he lovingly touched the photo frame as if caressing Kanya''s cheeks, then suddenly the thought of talking to her daughter-in-law came to him. He would tell everything to Yera once she was back because he knew it would be hard for Xander to do so. He was also sure that Xander would be in a dilemma at that moment about, whether to disclose the matter to Yera or not. .... As suggested by her father-in-law, Yera went directly to their home, at Yang Ancestral Mansion. She was surprised to see her father-in-law sitting in the living room as if he was eagerly waiting for her arrival. "You''re here." Senior Yang noted with a smile as he stood up from his seat. He signaled Yera to follow him and so she did. They walked inside the study room of Senior Yang where the latter urged her to sit on the couch while Senior Yang got some doc.u.ments from his table drawer. Yera''s heart was thumping hard because of the serious atmosphere inside the study room. Senior Yang noticed it so he smiled and said, "Hmm, to be honest, I was hesitating earlier to tell about this matter to Xander and you but then Xander found out everything by himself so I strongly believed that you should also know about it. I believe in you my daughter-in-law and I know you are a rational person and have a big heart." By that time, Senior Yang handed her the files. "What is this father?" Yera asked as she took the files from him. "Hmm, these are the details and all the reports about the death of Xander''s mother." Senior Yang responded. His face softened and Yera saw the sudden pain in his eyes as he looked at the files in her hand. Yera suddenly became nervous as she opened the file. She looked at it intently and started reading the files page by page. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw a photo of a girl. She picked it up and stared at it intently and held the photo with trembling hand and muttered, "This is me¡­" She closed her eyes and tried hard to remember every detail of that incident with her years ago. When she opened her eyes, she looked at her father-in-law and whispered, "she''s Xander''s mother?" Senior Yang nodded and responded, "Yes daughter, she''s your mother-in-law. The woman who saved you in the woods." "I kept asking grandfather about her but he always remained silent." she murmured as her shoulders slumped. Her knees weakened and it was a good thing that she was sitting on the couch or else she would have fallen down on the floor. "Yes, it''s because I talked to your grandfather, asking him to keep this matter between us only. Xander was completely devastated by his mother''s sudden death and I thought at that point of time that it would be best that none of you should find out about it. Throughout the years, it never crossed my mind that the two of you will end up being together like this. You were rivals, competing head to head with each other in the same field, you even hated each other''s names. Never in my wildest dreams had I thought that you two are fated to be together, to become husband and wife. But then now I understand¡­" explained Senior Yang. "I am so sorry," Yera said the words stuttering, She could not even dare to look at her father-in-law. Because of her, her father-in-law lost his wife and because of her, Xander had lost his mother at an early age. "Don''t be sorry daughter. What matters is our present and the future. Let the past remain in the past. Please look at me¡­" asked Senior Yang in his sweet tone. Yera obeyed and looked at him with her now swollen eyes as tears started to fall down her cheeks. "Let me ask you this. Do you feel that you''re indebted to us?" he said directly, looking intently at Yera. ''Of course I am indebted,'' Yera wanted to voice out but she only nodded her head as an answer. "Do you love my son?" asked Senior Yang again. This time Yera opened her mouth and answered him firmly, "yes, I love him¡­ I love him with all my heart." "Alright then, please lift the burden from your heart and repay us the debt that you think you owe us." Senior Yang said, his voice full of conviction. Yera stared at him, confusion filled in her eyes. The word ''debt'' deeply pricked through her heart because it was true, she owed the Yangs too much, they lived with a vacuum in their lives because of her, she felt so much guilt that she wanted the ground to just eat her alive at that moment. How would she be able to repay the debt she owed towards them, when it was a precious life she took from them... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 131 - The Message Yera went to the bedroom soon after she finished eating dinner with her father-in-law. As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, she slumped on the floor and let out the tears that she suppressed with all her might, while eating dinner with her father-in-law. She recalled her warm conversation with her father-in-law. He firmly said, "Pay your debt but loving my son and by staying by his side no matter what happens. He is in his villa right now. Probably running away from you, but he ran away not because he hates you but, because he is afraid and scared you''ll notice his downside emotion and in the process you''ll end up finding the truth. Xander would often hide whenever he''s scared and he will always go back on his feet like nothing happens in due time. Back to his normal and cheerful self." Yera cried hard recalling how warmly her father-in-law hugged her while he said, "All things happen for a reason. My wife saved her future daughter-in-law. Things that are meant to be are bound to happen, it''s just a matter of time. You are now part of my family and I''m sure my wife is also happy and is smiling at us right now so please¡­ take things in a positive way daughter. I''m happy and a contented father to have you as my daughter-in-law Yera." How could she be so lucky like this? To have Xander in her life including her father-in-law as a family. "Thank you," were the only words she could utter a while ago. She was very grateful to her father-in-law and mostly to her deceased mother-in-law. "Thank You," Yera mumbled alone as she cried, hoping her mother-in-law heard her sincere gratitude for what she had done for her by sacrificing her own life. After a while, Yera wiped her tears and stood up from the floor. She cleaned herself up and went to bed afterwards. She looked at Xander''s side of the bed and felt very lonely.She gently touched the empty side of the bed and subconsciously grabbed his pillow to hug it. It was empty, the same emptiness she was feeling in her heart at that moment. She wanted to go straight to Xander''s villa but her father-in-law suggested that she should patiently wait for Xander''s message to give him a little more time. If Xander messaged her, it meant he was ready to see her. Yera felt empty without Xander by her side. She closed her eyes and tried hard to sleep. ........ The next day, Yera went to work as usual. She still did not accept any surgery but only had her daily rounds and attended her outpatients in her clinic. She sighed as she looked at her mobile phone. "No message still?" asked Rizie when she saw Yera looked disappointed while staring at her mobile phone. Yera already told her what happened, and she was really in awe with how everything was connected. Before this, she was not a big fan of the word fate and destiny. However, after hearing everything Yera told her, her perspective suddenly started to crumble. Maybe fate and destiny do play a big part in life and life is not merely based on the choices they make. Still Rizie felt those deep things were not for her, because she still believed that she was responsible for her own destiny. Yera nodded as a response to Rizie. She was patiently waiting for his message. "Hmm, don''t worry Doc. I bet Dr. CEO won''t last that long. He will definitely message you today," Rizie commented because knowing Dr. CEO who looked head over heels at Yera, would definitely not last long in his solitude. To lighten the mood inside the clinic, Rizie jokingly reminded, "Once you meet him Doc, make sure to imply the comfort in the bed strategy¡­" Yera''s face unconsciously blushed but before she could utter a word, Rizie ran towards the door to exit. Yera shook her head as she mumbled, "How do I do it when he hadn''t even messaged me yet." Yera ate dinner in the hospital with Rizie and went back to the house. She went directly to their bedroom to rest early. She was already on the bed when her mobile phone beeped. Her heart almost jumped out from her ribcage when she saw it was from Xander. [Darling, I will come back to you soon please don''t worry. I''ll just fix some urgent matters at hand and see you soon okay. I love you.] Yera pouted her lips and crooked her body sideways on the bed. She wanted to run to Xander. She looked at the clock, it was only 7:00 in the evening. If she would travel now, she would reach there at midnight. She quickly rose up and asked her father-in-law for the spare key or the door''s password at Xander''s villa. "I will call his keeper. I will have my driver accompany you to the villa." Senior Yang said as he arranged everything. Xander had already messaged his wife so there was no point in waiting for tomorrow. He would prefer the couple to be together as soon as possible. He also dialed the security team assigned to monitor Yera outside to remind them that Yera would leave soon. Senior Yang escorted Yera to the car outside. Yera was about to go in the backseat of the car when he saw her stop and quickly ran back to him. He was startled when Yera suddenly hugged him while she whispered, "Father thank you so much." Senior Yang smiled warmly, followed by a chuckle as he gently pushed Yera and complained in a jest, "How many ''Thank Yous'' do you have installed to tell me? Now I''m starting to worry if it''s the only word you''ll keep saying whenever you see me. Oh, go now and pay your debt¡­" Yera nodded and immediately walked back to the car. Senior Yang watched the car disappear from his sight. "I only want a lot of grandchildren." he mumbled as he went back inside the mansion whistling happily. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Legitimate Link: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Your humble author, EUSTOMA_reyna Chapter 132 - I Won’t Wake Up Yera touched her heart unconsciously during the ride to Xander''s villa, because it was thumping hard. ''Please be still,'' she tried to calm her heart silently. She also had the butterfly effect in her stomach, due to which she could not sleep at all, when she should be, given the long ride they had to his villa. She missed Xander so much that she wanted to have wings to fly and reach to him and hug him and be with him immediately. She felt that the ride was taking too long. Yera inhaled and emitted a long deep sigh, then she rubbed her palms together to release the tension she was feeling. She wondered how her husband would react upon seeing her. ''Will he be happy or annoyed?'' Yera mused hoping it was the first one. The road was already dark, traveling at night actually helped her not to recall the trauma of the accident that happened previously. She could not even recognize a thing on the road because of the dark. After what seemed to be like a forever travel to her, finally, they reached their destination and as she concluded it was already midnight. The housekeeper greeted her at the main door. "Madame Yera, welcome. Please call me Nanny Lyn. The young Master is in his room now sleeping. Please follow me." said the housekeeper who was already briefed by Senior Yang beforehand. Yera followed and walked behind Nanny Lyn. She was in awe seeing how grandeur and luxurious the villa''s interior designs were. She did not even notice the exterior design yet because she was too occupied in her thoughts, but she knew that Xander''s villa was located on a cliff and she did imagine many times before how breathtaking the views would be in the sunlight. Xander''s villa was a modern art with a lot of glasses. Nanny Lyn stopped on a particular door and said, "Madame, this is the young Master''s room." Yera smiled as she said, "I will manage from here Nanny Lyn. Thank you." Nanny Lyn smiled back and nodded before leaving. Yera noticed the door was like the one in his private room in the hospital so obviously it had a pin unless it was set unlock by Xander. She touched it and it opened automatically, so it wasn''t locked. Yera entered the room and she noticed glass once more. But then it was totally dark outside. The bed was at the center. The room was dark but the minibar''s light was switched on and she saw opened bottles of whisky. "Did he drink?" she whispered as she walked towards the bed where Xander seemed to just have collapsed because he was not properly positioned on the bed. Yera leaned forward to kiss him and she smelled the strong scent of the alcohol. "Why did you drink so much?" she mumbled as she touched and caressed Xander''s face. She could see him from the shade on the mini bar''s light and her heart ached seeing him in such a state. "Father has told me everything and I know what you must be going through right now. I only hope that you don''t feel hate towards me because of what happened. And I vow to keep my promise to you forever, no matter what." Yera whispered as tears fell from her eyes while she caressed his cheek. She was about to straighten up and switch on the light when she felt Xander grab her causing her to fall on the bed beside him. He moved and hugged her as if she was a pillow. Yera looked at him closely and whispered, "Are you awake?" But there was no response. Yera sighed loudly and stared at his handsome face once more. She raised her one hand so she could touch his soft face. But it seemed not enough for her so she moved closer to gently kiss him on his lips. She felt no inhibition because at that moment all she could ever think about was how she missed him and wanted to be with him. She could taste the alcohol on his lips but strangely it tasted bitter sweet. She gently moved her head backwards to have a better look at her husband. She touched him once more and suddenly froze. Xander''s expressive eyes were now opened, staring closely at her without blinking. Yera did not dare move or talk, while their eyes met. She felt Xander''s hand on her cheek and she saw him smile. It was the same smile that would often take her breath away. That same smile that swept her on her feet. "I missed you so much darling that it felt like icy cold in here." Xander whispered as he chuckled. "Funny, you are so warm like I''m touching you for real. Oh¡­ I won''t wake up so you won''t disappear before my eyes," he added with his slurred voice. Yera opened her mouth to tell him that she was real and not just merely in his dreams but before the words came out from her mouth, Xander abruptly pulled her for a passionate and intense kiss. He left her no room for a chance to utter any words at all but only moans for the tingling sensation he was sending through her body with the breathtaking kiss they both were sharing. Xander''s kiss was so deep that she could feel how he longed for her. Yera almost forgot to tell him that he was not dreaming as she wrapped her arms on his neck, totally consumed by the same intense longing she had for her husband thus ended up rolling on top of him instead. Then the sudden thought of Rizie''s advice came in mind, ''comfort in the bed''. She should apply those as a part of her goal to always satisfy her husband. It wouldn''t be bad afterall, she did love it, making love to her husband whenever she could, expressing her love in a physical way. Being able to do that with the person you truly deeply care about everywhere else in life was really amazing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She felt his aggressive hand touching her bosom through her clothes. His hands seemed to be starving. His fingers moved quickly, to unbutton her blouse and unhook her bra. "Oh God, I missed this¡­" Xander whispered into her ear. He could finally feel the warmth of Yera''s soft skin especially her rounded breasts filled his palms. He squeezed gently. The tingling of him kissing her earlobe made Yera moan gently. His soft lips continued, kissing and licking his way down her neck. Yera leaned into her husband, givinging full access to enjoy kissing, licking and sucking her erect nipples. A sweet sound escaped her lips. Xander continued, nibbling at her protruding peaks, sending a jolt of pain and pleasure through her body. They had only begun and she was buzzing in his arms. He was groping her ass. He squeezed her supple curves, kneading through her pajama pants. Eager to help, Yera removed them, and pulled down her panties while he was busy attending to her breasts. She moved her hands, sliding inside his boxer shorts, where she caressed his hard and full length. She was too ready to receive him; she couldn''t wait any longer. She rolled, placing herself on top of Xander. Yera quickly pulled down his boxer shorts, just enough for her to gain access and engulf his full length inside of her. She pulled Xander''s shirt off, moving down to kiss and pinch his nipples just like he did to her. She could hear his growls whenever she would suck, lick, or even pull on his nipples to tease him. She felt Xander''s hands on her hips, and Yera took it as a sign. She moved her buttocks a bit upward teasing him. She felt his length brush against her moistened flower, while she moaned, excited with her own boldness. "I want you¡­ Please don''t disappear." Yera heard Xander mutter. "I won''t disappear darling, I''ll stay with you forever." She then sealed Xander''s lips, sending her tongue inside, tasting him. She fenced with his tongue, who didn''t disappoint, giving her full attention. As their lips and tongues entwined, Yera held his hard length with her hand, guiding it into her entrance. "Hmmm," both hummed as Xander slid inside her. Yera made her movements on top of him as deeply as possible, while they shared a passionate kiss. They moved back and forth followed by a gentle twirl as the pleasure heightened. Both were moaning and making sounds of pleasure during the kiss. Yera sped up her pace, pumping up and down on him, making sure she had it deep as she could. Xander groaned, feeling Yera''s walls contract. She squeezed, tightening around his hardness. Yera pumped up and down, as they continued to kiss. Xander supported her hips, keeping up in pace with her intense movement. He thrust hard, reaching deep inside of her; dancing to her rhythm. "Darling, I''m cumming¡­" Yera cried. She felt her body tense again, while she shook with the ecstasy that enveloped her mind whole. A few more moments passed. Xander kept up his intense thrusting, combined with Yera''s passionate pumping. Soon, both reached their highest peak, milking each other. Xander''s fluids mixing inside Yera. Yera collapsed on top of Xander. Her husband hugged her tightly, kissing her head gently. "Don''t disappear please. I love you." She heard Xander mumble. Yera was still tingling from the orgasm, but lifted her head to look at Xander, whose eyes were still closed. She pouted her lips, "Open your eyes¡­" she muttered. "Do you really think I would let you sleep?" Xander still didn''t open his eyes, so Yera gifted him another deep kiss. She did not pull out from his length, instead letting it stay inside of her after. And as she expected, she could feel him growing once more inside of her while he answered her passionate kiss on his lips and mouth. She could feel his sudden hardness inside of her. She cut the kiss short, instead deciding to trail Xander''s jawline teasingly. Her soft kisses flowing down his neck, where she nibbled, leaving several marks on him there. Her hands seductively touched him. From his strong arms, to his hips, up, then down his stomach and chest. She playfully pinched his nipples and twirled her fingers there, as she started to slowly and gently move on top of her husband once more. This time, she put her palms on the Xander''s sides while she moved. She gasped, biting her lower lip while Xander''s hand cupped her breasts. He was licking one of her hard, swollen nipples with his tongue while his hand firmly and gently squeezed her beautiful breasts. Yera keened unconsciously when Xander sucked her nipples, playing with both. He alternated between them, driving her crazy. She was still on top of him, pulling and pushing her flower into his hard length. She could feel the liquids on her apex, and hear it flapping as she pumped up and down. She was too lost,between Xander''s mouth, and his attentiveness to her breasts and nipples. The sensations sending shivers along her spine, making her buck like crazy on top of him, pumping her hips deeper and harder. She could feel her orgasm nearing. "Ah!" she cried as her excitement piled up, bringing her to her second climax. Her body convulsed, but she continued to move so her husband could finish. After a few more seconds of Yera''s aggressive movements, he came. Yera collapsed on Xander''s chest the second time, panting hard while she whispered lovingly, "I love you so much, Xander Yang." She felt Xander hugged her tightly. He chuckled, as if he was having a good dream. "My darling becomes a beast on my bed, such a good and wonderful dream ahhh," he murmured sluggishly. Yera gulped; the thought of sobering up her husband suddenly disappeared. She suddenly felt shy for taking an advantage to her drunk husband. Yera giggled, wondering how Xander would react the next morning. ''Will he even remember?'' she mused before she dozed off, still on top of her husband. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She carefully moved and quietly got out from Xander''s embrace. Then she slowly rose up from the bed. She was naked and she felt too sticky so she decided to take a quick shower. "Crap," she mumbled as she put on a robe after her bath. She completely forgot to bring any clothes with her, because she was in a hurry to go to Xander. She only had her pair of pajamas that she wore last night. She came out of the bathroom and went inside Xander''s walk-in closet. She chuckled on seeing a lot of Xander''s shirts available for her. She picked and wore one of his loose shirts. It rested just above her knees but still suited her body figure and looked like it was one of her sleepwear shirts. Her lips pursed because she even had no underwear for herself. She went out of the walk-in closet and looked for her panties to wash. Xander was still sleeping soundly when Yera finished tidying the bedroom, gave him a gentle kiss and left the bedroom to prepare something for her husband once he woke up. The sun was rising as she walked through the hallway and Yera gasped at the breathtaking view she saw through the glass. The nature had generously bestowed the area with overwhelming beauty. Yera was still standing on the second floor and she saw the swimming pool outside, it looked like a quiet small pond of blue water surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. No wonder Xander wanted every wall in glass, he wanted to see the panoramic view from each room and every floor. She went out to get a clearer glimpse of the long pool that was reflecting the sky and the wealth of the surrounding landscape and the beautiful and large terraced garden enriched with abundant herbs and fruit trees. Overall the place reflected an ideal notion of comfort and an informal living style. She could see the beautiful sea just at a little distance. "Magnificent," she commented before turning around and walking back inside. Yera went down the stairs and walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to prepare the things she needed. Her father-in-law told her that Xander preferred staying alone so his housekeeper would only go to the villa if called, whenever Xander was there. The housekeeper lived in a separate house at the backside of the mansion. She had Nanny Lyn''s contact details but Yera did not need her since she wanted to do all things for Xander, like cooking, by herself. She decided to make something for Xander''s hangover so she started doing the soup. "This is so nice," she mumbled seeing the beautiful scenery through the glass walls, while chopping and peeling vegetables and cooking the soup. She was humming a song in her sweet voice and danced while cooking because of her good mood. Besides, no one was around to see all these actions of hers. ......¡­. Xander woke up with a splitting headache and feeling the hangover from last night''s heavy drinking. He quickly got down from the bed and ran to the bathroom for a warm shower to wake himself up completely. He often did that whenever he got drunk and last night he did get wasted all the way. He was halfway with his bathing when he suddenly realized he was already naked. "Yera¡­" he mumbled as he recalled all that happened last night. He really thought he was only having a good dream but then looking at his naked self, it was sure real. He quickly covered his lower body with the towel and ran out of the bathroom. "Where is she?" he whispered as he looked around every corner. Not seeing her on the second floor, Xander immediately went down the stairs. He looked in the living room and other areas of the mansion but did not find her anywhere. And as he neared the kitchen, Xander paused in his tracks hearing Yera''s humming and smelling the cooking food. He smiled, feeling the beauty of that moment and let out a long sigh before he continued to walk inside the kitchen. It was really his wife, hearing that familiar humming voice. He grinned quietly seeing Yera dancing while she stirred something on his stove that smelled really nice. Her back was facing him so she could not see him standing there. ''My shirt!,'' Xander mused as he admired how sexy his wife looked in his shirt. Without a second thought he immediately crossed the gap and hugged Yera from behind. "Hmm you''re awake," Yera whispered as she hugged Xander''s arms back. She turned off the stove and said, "Breakfast is ready, so go to the dining room and wait there. I''ll follow with the food soon." Instead of going, Xander pulled her into the kitchen counter, caging her, with his both arms on her sides. "I remember everything you did." he said that made Yera reddened of embarrassment though Xander looked serious. "But then tell me first how did you arrive here?" asked Xander in a serious voice. "With father-in-law''s help. He helped me out to be with you. I worried too much so I asked him about your whereabouts and that what was bothering you ." Yera responded. THen she looked closely at Xander and added, "Father told me everything last night." Yera paused and slightly bowed her head and murmured, stuttering, "About mother-in-law''s death. That kid she saved was me. I''m really sorry¡­" Xander''s forehead creased as he held her chin and tilted it up enough so he could see her beautiful face with her hazy eyes, filled with tears right now. Xander gently wiped her tears and said, "It''s not your fault darling. Please don''t cry. I really don''t like to see you cry." Then he gave her a sweet smile before mentioning, "Mom saved you for a purpose, so that you could be my wife. So please stay with me forever as you had promised before my mother''s tree." Yera nodded and whispered, "Yes¡­ I love you and I intend to keep you with me forever." Xander then pulled her in for a tight hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes, embracing one another as tightly as they could. Xander also cried tears of joy that finally he could breathe properly because Yera took it positively and would not leave him alone and go away, out of guilt. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He stared at her with gently narrowed eyes. He wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks away as he mumbled, "Thank you for reaching out to me first, darling. I''m really grateful that you''re here, right now. Do you know how much I missed you? So much so, that for one day that I intentionally got wasted last night, so I can sleep without missing you." Yera did not respond. She only pursed her lips as her face reddened, hoping Xander would not mention what happened last night. However, Xander seemed to be reading his thoughts saying, "Hmm, I remember last night¡­ You do take a lot of liberties in my drunken state darling." His lips curved into a seductive and playful grin before he leaned forward, into her cheek, whispering, "I remember... you did enjoy yourself a lot last night, but I was drunk.I hate doing it when I''m not myself, so you''ll have to do what you did all over again... while I''m sober." Yera could feel her husband''s warm breath on her ear. She was so embarrassed that she suddenly defended herself, "Rizie advised me that the best comfort I could do to you was that. She said men would prefer comfort in -bed.-" Xander, who was kissing her neck, stopped to look at her intently and said, "I should give Rizie a generous reward for giving my wife such knock-out advice." He moved closer and she could feel his hardness brushing on hers. She subconsciously looked down and she just noticed Xander''s upper body was covered with a towel only. She looked up and saw his hair was not yet dried properly. "You''re still wet," she commented seeing water droplets on his chest. Xander chuckled and said, "Hmm, let''s balance that out and make you wet too," Yera gulped at that tease with a double meaning. But the words pique her excitement. She felt Xander''s hand moving; sensually following her bare legs up to her lips. She felt Xander''s other hand on the back of her nape as he sealed her lips. "The glass," Yera hummed, afraid that someone might see them. Xander chuckled and said, "Did you not notice? It''s one-way. We can see them, but they can''t see us." explained Xander, his voice hoarse. His hand moved down the center, to Yera''s apex, caressing her flower to make a nectar. Yera actually hadn''t noticed that the glass couldn''t be viewed from the inside. Ever since she returned from the pool in a hurry. Her head had been occupied with thoughts on what to cook for Xander. "Hmm," a moan escaped from Yera when she felt Xander''s finger brushing against her hole. "You''re already wet darling," Xander muttered as he watched Yera''s aroused facial expression with his touch in her most sensitive parts. "How come you didn''t wear any panties darling... Were you anticipating this? Giving me such easy access," Xander teased, looking intently into Yera''s eyes. "Huh?" Yera didn''t absorb what Xander mumbled. She was lost! Too lost within the sensation running through her veins. She never thought that she would come into this, melting with too much desire at a man''s touch! But Xander was not just a man, he was her husband, the only man she would love like this. His finger finally entered her after having enough fun playing with her sleek folds and clit. Yera gasped. Both by the sudden thrust of his finger, combined by Xander''s sucking of her upper and lower lips alternately. "We have to eat first," Yera murmured in between Xander''s sucking. Xander stopped, sliding his finger away. Yera''s eyes rounded when she witnessed Xander sucked his own finger that he just thrust inside of her a while ago. "It''s still sweet, eating you early in the morning will be enough. You are my ambrosia." he mumbled teasingly. Yera''s face crumpled, with a beautiful cherry red on her cheeks, and Xander chuckled at her embarrassment. He kissed her again, letting her taste herself, as he moved his hand under his own shirt to go back to its home. He thrusted two fingers inside of her this time, pushing hard, going as deep as he could, then pulling back. Yera wrapped her arms around Xander''s neck. She felt her knees weakening with Xander''s continuous assault with just his fingers. He wanted Yera to milk his fingers with her climax before he would take her once more with his own manhood, so she would receive his release. He pushed and pulled until he felt her muscles contract. He knew then that she would reach her peak soon. After a few more thrusts, Yera''s body jerked and trembled in his embrace, releasing her own fluids. Xander, quickly removed his towel that was covering his hard length. He immediately grabbed Yera''s legs and positioned her to receive him, still standing, while he never left her lips. Moans filled in the kitchen as Xander thrust his length, and taking it deep inside his wife''s entrance. Pushing harder and deeper followed by abrupt pulling, made Yera scream without her knowing. Her husband''s length seemed to be growing inside, filling her fully, making her cum the second time with his speed, as he continued to pump in and out of her. As soon as Xander reached his own peak, Yera followed with wrecking orgasm. "I love you so much darling," Xander mumbled before giving her a sweet gentle kiss. She felt Xander moving again when her stomach grumbled hard. Xander laughed and immediately pulled his length out. He caved, finally saying, "Alright let''s recharge first and continue later on. I''m so starving for my wife''s beast mode on the bed." Yera pouted her lips, hitting Xander''s chest as she complained, "Beast mode? That can''t even be compared with how beastly you can be in bed." Xander only chuckled and pinched her nose... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She had not given him an answer yet regarding her joining. He was in serious thought when the door of his office suddenly opened. He creased his forehead seeing his father enter with a gloomy face. He had a golden cane in his hand that he loved to carry with him. "Tell me, how long do you plan to drag this engagement? Jam has constantly been complaining to me!" He exclaimed as soon as he sat on the couch. Lyndon released a long frustrated sigh and said, "I want to cancel the engagement dad and this time you and the others won''t be able to stop me!" "What?! Are you out of your mind son? Do you know how you got this position anyway? You can''t back down like this, dammit we need those freaking maggots!" Senior Chu burst, his face had reddened with emotions. "Do you want our family to fall down? Do you even know what I did for you to reach at this point?!" Senior Chu hissed, his face darkened. Lyndon remained calm and answered, "Yes, I''m fully aware, and I''ve taken care of everything already. Trust me for this dad. I will make sure that no one will dare look down on us." Senior Chu looked at his son confused. Lyndon exhaled loudly and pleaded, "Please go home dad and stay with mom. Let me take care of everything and just stay put. If Jam and his dad contact you again, just tell them that I don''t listen to you anymore." Lyndon called his secretary to escort his father back to his car. His father had joined hands with the Go''s to take over the Life Globals group but still majority of the power was with the Go''s since they were part of the Han Family through Jam''s mother. Obviously, Roy Go, Jam''s father wanted to take over everything himself, but he would not allow it to happen after everything that he did and sacrificed, Life Globals group would be in his full power alone! ......... At Yang Ancestral Mansion "Do you think those two worked it all up well?" Senior Yang asked Butler Gary, who was pouring his coffee in the cup. He was sitting in the study area, reading some books and thinking about Xander and Yera. Butler Gary smiled and said, "I''m sure Master the couple right now must be very busy in fulfilling your dreams. "Hmm, Xander hasn''t called yet." Commented Senior Yang. "Nanny Lyn said the couple did not call her too for assistance since morning, so I believe, the two of them are probably busy attending each other." Responded Butler Gary that made Senior Yang to lift up the corners of his lips, hoping that the couple would be productive enough. His little chat with Butler Gary was interrupted by knocks on the door. "Master, excuse me, Ralf is here." reported one of his helpers. "Hmm, bring him here." instructed Senior Yang in his serious voice. He wanted to know the progress of the investigation about the incident his son encountered in that private island. He had a bad feeling about it. A few seconds later, Ralf entered the room and joined him. "Get a cup of coffee for Ralf," Senior Yang instructed and Butler Gary poured coffee for Ralf in the cup, who handed the files to Senior Yang. "You mean you still didn''t find anything about this person in a hoodie? And are you sure that the jet ski incident and what happened at that yacht are just pure accident and mere carelessness?" commented Senior Yang who was convinced otherwise. For those incidents to happen at the same time and to look like mere accidents were just too lame for a theory to accept. Plus a person in the hoodie was spotted the other day outside Xander''s suite? Ralf cleared his throat and explained, "Master we are still verifying thing but so far we couldn''t find anything to prove and conclude the incidents as intentional because the investigations clearly analyzed that all was nothing but just mere carelessness from the operator''s side and they are willing to take full responsibility." Then Ralf added, "About the person in the hoodie, to be honest, that person vanished away like a ghost, untraceable. I believe that person was after Madame Yera but I''m not sure. Boss Xander may have asked you already as he wanted to know if the family happens to have a nemesis or a long time foe, without his knowledge cause if none then that person in the hoodie is really after Madame Yera." Then Ralf showed him a mark. Senior Yang looked at it and his forehead furrowed as he tried to think hard when had he seen a mark as similar as that. "It looks familiar but somehow I can''t remember correctly or maybe it''s like I''ve seen something similar but I could be wrong. Leave me a copy of this I will check this out later¡­" Senior Yang instructed. "By the way Master, Boss Xander is still out of reach. We blocked a tail from Madame Yera last night. It was definitely someone tailing her though they were disguised as a family." reported Ralf and Senior Yang nodded. "Alright, I''ll inform Xander about it. Make sure to tighten the security and if you need more men go on and add more. Also, please assign security for Xander also without him knowing. You know how stubborn that brat can be. I''m just worried about him and want to make sure of his safety too," Senior Yang responded. Ralf nodded. Even he also wanted to suggest that to Xander, but his Boss, for sure, would only laugh it out and brag that he could handle his own safety. After some more discussions, Senior Yang dismissed Ralf. In his hand was a paper, with a printed copy of the mark. He let out a long sigh, thinking hard if he had ever encountered something like this before. "A grudge?" he mumbled. He clearly had no enemies. Then he recalled about his wife. ''Kanya is long dead.'' he mused with knitted forehead. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She felt Xander hugging her from behind while he protected Yera''s face from the sun''s rays with his other hand. "This is such a good place" Yera commented as she looked back at the seaview. "I told you, you will like it here. Do you want to stay longer and enjoy the beach tomorrow?" Yera had so many things pending back in the city, but having an intimate moment like this with Xander was really great. She turned around and encircled her arms on Xander''s neck and said, "Hmm we have to go back tomorrow. For now¡­ Being with you like this is enough for me¡­" She moved her body closer and pulled Xander in for a kiss. They had done a lot of lovemaking since morning and had even made love before going out for a swim but somehow, it was like there was a fiery component that would always ignite fire every time the couple would touch and kiss. And once more Xander''s hands were roaming at Yera''s most sensitive parts. "Let''s go out from the pool first," Yera mumbled because she could already see where their smooching was leading to. Xander was still busy showering her neck with his licking and sucking. "It''s okay, let''s do it here," he whispered. Yera gulped and said, "No! It''s an open area!" She could feel Xander''s breath on her neck as he chuckled. "Trust me no one can see us. The pool''s location is high and so no one is able to take a peek here, okay!" She felt Xander swirl her around changing their positions and he leaned on the pool''s side. He was lightning fast and Yera felt his stiff length poking her when he crushed her against his body. "I love to see you in the beast mode darling. Please do the honor and show me your beast once more." Seeing Yera''s distraction being in open air, Xander pulled her more tightly towards himself and bent down to whisper in her ears, "Don''t worry I''ll keep your beautiful body immersed in water and won''t let even the air see you, or maybe I will slide myself in you from the sides, with your thongs still on, and I will try to control feeding on your breasts so your bra will still be in its place." Xander shamelessly instructed that made Yera widened her eyes in disbelief. Xander grinned, enjoying the puzzled look on his wife''s lovely and enticing face. He suddenly carried Yera so her entrance would touch and brushed on his length before he took her mouth hungrily sucking her and giving her a wonderful lascivious kiss that made Yera''s body burst with desire. Unknowingly, her body moved trying to trap Xander''s pointed length into her own opening. The several attempts of brushing each others private and sensitive parts with each other brought a tingling wonderful sensation to both of them. Yera moaned while her mouth was being devoured by her husband like some luscious dessert. And she was definitely enjoying it. Their tongues were fencing with each other and entangled together. Yera''s legs were strongly wrapped on her husband''s waist while she continued to brush herself against him, teasing. "Stop it," Xander whispered when he finally let go of her lips just to lower his lips down to her neck while his hand moved to help his inner length to hit its favorite spot, its home. "Ahhh," Yera gasped as soon as his husband''s length successfully slid inside her entrance. She bit her lower lip and closed her eyes as Xander moved her hips with his strong arms and hands to cover him fully, deeper in her inner core. "Look at me darling," Xander whispered and she obediently did. Both their eyes locked together and they could feel how much they were clouded with passion of love for each other, and were dilated with overflowing desire for one another. Yera wrapped her arms tightly on his neck for support as she moved her own body to meet Xander''s thrusting. The gushing sounds of the water blended with the couple''s hum of pleasures in each thrusts. Both were looking intently at each other and witnessing the sensual expressions of were enough to reach their climax at the same time. The couple were panting hard when they once again reached their release. "Pitiful pool," Yera mumbled sluggishly as she rested and buried her face on her husband''s neck. Xander chuckled and said, "Why? The pool was honoured darling, witnessing the lovemaking of the beast couple." Yera''s face twitched as she slightly pulled herself to look at Xander and muttered, "Beast couple? I contest! It''s only a beast husband!" Xander narrowed his eyes and gave her playful smile before he teased in his hoarse voice as his face was moving closer to her, "Hmm, you haven''t realized it yet I guess but darling you''re definitely as fierce a beast as your beastly husband, always wild and savage, driving me insane¡­" Her husband''s lips were touching hers, licking and teasing her nerves. Yera opened her mouth to counter Xader''s statement but Xander did not let her and captured her lips zipping them up. Yera could only protest silently not because of Xander''s audaciousness but because Xander''s teasing sounded convincing with how her body was reacting on its own to his each touch and kiss. She returned her husband''s kiss with the same passion, seeing that Xander smiled mischievously in between the kissing to teasingly murmur, "See what I''m saying darling? You''re moving already¡­" Yera ignored him and said, "Shhhh," before she kissed him hard, biting as if punishing her husband for catching her red handed, while she continued with her movements, splashing the water, humming the moans, sucking him through her lips as well as in her deep cave, making his manhood twitch with desire to drown again, in the sea of her sweet nectar, dancing on her rhythm still inside of her... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"What are you doing here?" Xander asked, seeing Yera busy in the kitchen. He had just finished taking a hot shower and did not find Yera in the room. Yera smiled hearing his questioning tone and continued mixing ingredients in the bowl. Xander walked towards her, curious. She wore a robe after she showered with nothing else underneath it, and went into the kitchen like that only, while Xander was taking a shower, to make the dessert since she''s craving for sweets. "I''m craving for some desserts. It''s been a while since I baked and I wanted to try if I still can, so I didn''t bother you to buy or order for me." Yera explained blissfully. She wanted to make a cake, one of her favorite. "What is it?" He hugged Yera from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder watching her actions. "Cheesecake. It is one of my favorite desserts. So I worked hard to learn to make one. I even joined baking classes because I like sweets." Yera narrated. Yera dipped her finger to taste and check the mixture. "Tastes good?" Xander asked. "Of course yes.." Yera chuckled and answered with a smile. Xander pouted his lips and murmured, "I wanna taste too." Yera grabbed a spoon and raised it up to give Xander a taste of the mixture but he gave her a loud complaining sigh. "What?" Yera asked and turned her head to see Xander with pouted lips as he mumbled, "I want to taste it with your finger too." Yera''s face crumpled, not sure whether to laugh or scold her husband for being childish and naughty at that moment. Before Yera could think of giving in to his tantrums. Xander grabbed her hand and guided her finger, dipping it in the mixture before raising it to suck the mixture on her finger. "Hey, stop being so childish?" Yera whispered when Xander seemed to be enjoying sucking her finger, not letting it out yet from his mouth. "Hmm, it''s yummy but¡­ I still prefer tasting something else." whispered Xander in his seductive hoarse voice that made Yera blush. "Why are you always in perverted mode?" Yera asked chortling. She found her husband''s depraved words rather amusing and sensual. Her lips curved upward as she dipped her finger in the sticky mixture and turned around to quickly put some on Xander''s face. "There¡­ Because you always tease me¡­" murmured Yera. Xander raised his eyebrows and a wicked smile played on his face. "Ahh¡­ my darling wants to play¡­ Alright, let''s play then," he muttered with a grin and Yera''s eyes rounded when she saw Xander dip all his fingers in the mixture and streak the mixture with his one finger on her face. She struggled and managed to run away from him before he could put more of it. "What''s that! Stop! It''s too sticky¡­" she complained as she ran towards the living room while Xander ran after her with some of the mixture still on his fingers ready to paint Yera''s face with it. Yera was soon cornered by Xander and he pounced on her making her fall on the couch in the living area. "Stop it Xander. You''ll mess the couch completely," She said laughing but Xander only shook his head and gave her his wicked smile. He was sitting on her thighs locking her up with his weight and legs. "Don''t move darling, let me massage this well on you since you started it." Xander responded with a grin. Yera was shocked with his childishness and closed her eyes when she felt Xander''s fingers rubbing against her cheeks, putting the sweet mixture on her face and her neck. Her eyes shot open when she felt Xander untie her robe. "What are you doing?" she exclaimed. Xander was grinning and winked at her. "I still have this yummy lotion in my hands, let me give you an upper body massage also." he answered teasingly. Yera gasped when she felt Xander''s palm on her bare breasts. She gently tapped his hand and said in her serious tone, "Stop that you pervert¡­" as if scolding her husband. "Alright¡­ I''ll stop. But you look too sticky, let me clean you up before I let you go." mumbled Xander. Yera had not expected what happened next. Xander bent down and started licking the batter away from her breasts, teasing her nipples in between with his teeth and sucking on her areola and then her nipple again. Yera just gasped heavily and started drowning in the feelings his licking and sucking gave her. "This is the best dessert I have ever tasted." Xander huskily commented and continued the journey of his tongue upwards to lick down on Yera''s neck. Yera had forgotten how sticky the batter was, how messy she was at that moment and all she knew was the hot breath of Xander'' that assaulted her skin and his wet warm tongue that sent shivers down her body with its each touch on her bare skin. She pursed her lips to suppress her little sweet moans eager to escape her mouth at any moment by the sensual assault of Xander''s hot tongue licking and sucking on her chest. She heard Xander chuckled as he whispered, "Darling, how come you did not bother to wear any clothes? You really anticipated how i will grab you and eat you up as soon as I finish my bath! And you sure like giving me easy access to all my favourite spots huh! You are truly a cooperative wife and I really appreciate you for this." Yera''s face flushed but she confidently responded, "Hmmmp, as if it was of any use if I wore any clothes: Don''t you always remove my clothes within just a few minutes anyway." Xander looked at the flushed face of his wife and kissed her on her lips and said, "It''s because I can''t get enough of you." Yes Xander was guilty, because he actually preferred his wife to remain naked whenever they were alone together. Xander kissed her and claimed every corner of her mouth with his wild and passionate kissing, leaving Yera muddle headed and gasping for air, and before she could regain her senses completely Xander attacked her breasts once more and started nibbling her nipples. Yera gasped again and before she could react on his actions, Xander wrapped her waist in his arms and moved and carried her so he could position her on top of him. Yera moved and settled herself on his hard member and brushed herself against him to tease him like he did to her a while ago. Xander managed to remove his boxers without her knowing, and when Yera felt his hard nakedness brush on her sensitive spots she growled inwardly.. She continued with her teasing, and ran her fingers sensually on his skin, kissing his nipples and licking his chest to make him growl with impatience. She then bent down and brushed her breasts on his face slowly reaching her lips to his mouth and taking his lips in between hers and kissed him passionately. Xander growled again and said, "Please take me in my wife." Hearing his gentle and pleading voice without wasting any moment, Yera gently took his hard member in her hands and pushed it inside her opening. "Ahhhh," Xander moaned as he felt the familiar warmth of Yera''s insides. Her clenching muscles asking his throbbing hardness to probe deeper into her. She started moving up and down on him, swirling bringing him into her deepest alleys¡­ his eyes closed in ecstasy, his mind going crazy with Yera''s movements. His wife had learned and remembered every move that could drive him to the edge of sanity. Xander opened his eyes a little to see her round breasts bouncing up and down, dancing with her rhythm of movements, enticing him and inviting him for a feast. He grunted and cocked his neck to grab her hard nipple in his mouth, sucking her and playing wildly with her. This feeling mixed with a sweet pain made Yera groan seductively and speeding up her movements she very soon brough Xander into the wilderness, dragging him again into the most satisfying release of his seeds inside her. Yera kept moving and followed him soon after into a wild, ecstatic release of her sweet nectar. "This is the best union ever, a couple with mutual feelings, making love and losing themselves in each other''s embrace.. I love you darling." Xander whispered in his husky voice spreading warmth of his love in her heart all over again. She didn''t have words to express her love for him, all she knew right now was that she loved him more than anyone else or anything else in this whole world. Yera sealed his lips in agreement with his words. How she hoped these kind of days would last forever. Tomorrow, another busy day ahead was waiting for them and she wondered how she would balance everything so that she could still have enough time for her doting husband. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Xander kept sighing, showing his disappointment, while driving. Yera looked at him and said, "Stop that darling." Xander sighed again in frustration and mumbled, "It''s because I feel sad about leaving so early from here, it would be nice if we could spend more time here together. I understand though, we both have a lot of pending things back in the City. So let''s come back here as soon as everything is settled, and stay for at least a few weeks." Then Xander remembered something, looked at Yera and grabbed her hand, holding it lovingly in his palm. "Are you sure you''ll be fine travelling down the same road where that accident happened? We will reach that turn in an hour at most darling." Reminded Xander. He had suggested that they should leave in the evening, when it would be dark, like how Yera got to the villa in the first place but Yera insisted on going in the daylight. Yera smiled at Xander and nodded assuring him about herself. She long wanted to overcome the trauma and was quite confident she would be fine as long as Xander was with him. After about an hour, the car started going down the slopes and they came along that familiar place, those slopes and those familiar lush green trees on the roadside¡­"Stop the car," Yera whispered. Xander stopped at the side of the road, they stepped out and walked to the exact spot where Bernard''s car got hit and flew in the air. Xander remembered the exact spot because he took care of everything after the accident and he was also there when Bernard''s car was removed from the spot of accident. Apparently the driver of the truck was drunk and he drove out of his side that caused the collision and that tragic accident. Yera stood rooted at the side of that place on the road where her life took another steep turn. A fleeting memory of those moments filled her entire mind. She halted and closed her eyes. All she could remember was Bernard''s smiling face as he whispered to her the word ''I love you''. Bernard would always have that special spot in her heart. He was the person who loved her without knowing anything about her. The person who stood by her side in times when she herself did not even know who she was. She was like a stray cat who found her home through Bernard. Xander stood quietly and observed Yera well aware of the fact that he would never be able to replace the position of Bernard in her heart and even he had no intentions of doing it at all. He was simply contented to share a place with his cousin in Yera''s heart. Yera felt Xander''s hold on held her hand, and she felt the warmth of his love spread in her heart and warmed her entire being. "Do you think he is happy right now?" Yera suddenly whispered, with her eyes still closed. Believing in fate was not really her way of life, but meeting Xander and Bernard in the unique way that it happened, Yera somehow started feeling that fate definitely played an important part in whatever happened in her life. Xander took a deep breath before he looked at the sky and smiled, "I know Bernard well. We were more like brothers than just mere cousins. He would never ask for anything else than to see you smile and to be happy and the same he would wish for me too, seeing me smile and happy would definitely bring joy and delight to him wherever he is." Tears fell from Yera''s eyes as she whispered, "Thank you Bernard." Yes, she would be forever grateful to Bernard because deep in her heart she knew Bernard''s love never left her, especially the good memories that transformed her into who she was now. Bernard had already toned her down from the terrible and cold Yera Han she was before. She felt Xander''s arms on her as he pulled her to him for a warm hug. Bernard toned down her icy heart but Xander totally thawed it, making her melt with love, loving someone she never thought she was capable of. "Let''s go?" she heard Xander whisper in her ear and Yera nodded as she gently wiped her tears away. The couple went back to their car and hit the road back to the City when Xander''s mobile phone rang. Yera saw the caller ID, Uncle Field Marshal Chan. Xander pressed the answer button in his car that was connected with his mobile phone. Yera could hear the man from the other line. "Son, can you evacuate all your employees and patients right now from your hospital in the city? Your hospital is one of the targets for bombing. I had already sent some of my men to your hospital and they are from my expert bomb squad but it would be hard for us to clear the area without your interjection. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I have already talked to your father and we are waiting for you to make the final decision in the matter." explained the Field Marshal from the other line. Yera''s face paled and she waited for Xander to answer. "Alright Uncle. I will have them all evacuated. My employees and patients safety is the top priority for me." said Xander before ending the call. Yera helped him in dialling assistant Ron next so he could give further instructions and then Yera dialed Ralf next. "Transfer him immediately in the Ancestral Mansion now! Make sure you move him quietly." instructed Xander. He was talking about one of the men, who had abducted Yera and had been into a coma. Then Xander turned around at Yera and said, "I hate to say this darling. As much as I want you to keep by my side but then I think it''s a good time for you to accept Lyndon''s offer and transfer at Life Globals¡­" Yera did not respond and looked on the road they were at instead. She was concerned about Xander and the bombing threat of his main hospital. It was something to get worried about, She pressed Xander''s hand and murmured, "Everything will be alright." "Yes darling, don''t worry about me and focus on your plan. Your husband is more than capable of everything than you can even think about¡­" Xander boastfully stated followed by a wink at her. Yera only pursed her lips and mumbled, "Yeah I know. My husband is really great." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Lyndon was busy reviewing some documents when his mobile phone rang. His facial muscles flinched seeing the ID of the caller and he immediately answered it. "Dr. Song, it''s good to finally receive a call from you and I hope to hear good news from you very soon." Lyndon cheerfully answered, hoping Dr. Song would finally agree to join his hospital. "Hello, CEO Chu. Yes, I have decided that I will join Life Globals as soon as you want. Also, I want to ask you, or rather to inform you, that I will bring my secretary with me¡­ She is very competent and I like how she works so I want her to stay working with me even after I transfer at Life Globals." Yera mentioned. "Hmm, alright, that''s not a problem at all, you can bring her. Is that all?" Lyndoon asked, ready to cater to whatever Dr. Song would request. "Yes," Yera simply responded before she ended the call. As soon as the phone call ended, Lyndon called his secretary and asked for Dr. Dwayne. Dr. Dwayne entered the CEO''s office. "You need me?" asked Dr. Dwayne. He sat comfortably at Lyndon''s couch and crossed his legs. Lyndon stood up on his chair and walked towards him to sit in front of him. "It''s time¡­ She has accepted everything so prepare all things immediately. I don''t want any loopholes and I want her to settle down comfortably and without any problems in our hospital." instructed Lyndon without batting an eye. Dr. Dwayne smirked and said, "Alright¡­ I got this." After two hours, a commotion suddenly spread throughout Life Globals like a disease. "What? Is that even possible? Are you sure it''s Dr. Long?" burst Dr. Xiao in disbelief. A forced retirement was given a while ago to their Chief Doctor Long. It was told that Dr. Long accepted a lot of bribes from VIP patients, that was against the rules of the hospital, and it recently came to the knowledge of the management, thus forced retirement was indicted. She had been Dr. Long''s assistant surgeon for many years and she knew well that Dr. Long was not that kind of man to accept bribes. "I know right? We are all shocked to be honest¡­ I still can not believe that Dr. Long was that kind of man. But the management has an evidence." Dr. Tan seconded. The forced retirement felt a bit suspicious. "Could it be due to internal politics between the management and Dr. Long ? I mean we all know that Dr. Long always had a disagreement with the way the hospital has been working. You know he was always vocal about his disagreement on how the hospital focuses on only minting money all the time. Saying the management is pure trash¡­" continued Dr. Tan. They were all inside the office of the Department of Surgery waiting for Dr. Long''s come back to confirm the news that already circulated inside the hospital. Almost all surgeons inside had a downcast expression, feeling sad for the bad news and were somehow hoping that it was not true. ............ At Yang Hospital. As soon as they were back in the City, the two became so busy. Yera helped her husband and assisted all patients to be transferred to affiliated and subsidiary hospitals. "What''s going on?" asked Dry. Rio because every employee was instructed to assist the patients first and everyone was in good condition with proper endorsement for the transfer to affiliated hospitals and other branches of Yang Hospital. "They won''t disclose anything not to cause any panic. They said the hospital will be closed in a while and Yang Hospital group would take care of all the damages and liabilities, and take full responsibility for each of their patients." explained Shaira because that was how the news circulated around the area. A lot of commotion happened inside Yang Hospitals but it was mostly from patients who were obviously disappointed with what was going on right now. "Yang Hospital will receive a huge loss due to this," Rizie murmured with dropped shoulders, sympathizing with the Yangs. "I know right¡­ Of all the hospitals, why the Yang and not just others¡­" Dion who was beside her muttered. Both of them were standing in the hallway on the second floor where they could see below the quick dispatching of each patient. Rizie rolled her eyes and looked at both sides, making sure no one was near enough to her as she grumbled, "Geez, of course Yang is the best and number one hospital right now. Don''t you know how terrorists mostly plan to attack the most widely known commercial properties and facilities? Of course they want to bring down those famous and best ones, so that they can make a huge impact and spread panic in people. They will look scarier if they succeeded in bringing down the most powerful buildings and facilities!" Then Rizie released a very long deep sigh and said, "I can''t believe that I have to spell those out to you Dion¡­ Geez¡­" Dion only crumpled his face and whispered, "Such a nagger. Dr. Dee would be pitiful for sure if he ends up with you." "What?" Rizie exclaimed but before Rizie could launch her attack, Dion saw Dr. Gong and quickly ran towards him to assist him with other patients. Then Rizie saw Yera, who like everybody, was busy making sure that their patients would be properly endorsed. Yera already told her to get ready since they would be joining at Life Globals soon. Then she saw some familiar faces checking the hospitals'' corridors and rooms, they were soldiers, deputed under her brother disguised as common men, carrying those big silver cases in their hands. ''They are bomb detonation experts,'' she mused. Rizie saw Dr. Dee coming from a corridor and quickly ran towards him to ask him if he would need any assistance or help. She failed to notice one technician in a rush moving one of the hospital machines. "Move¡­ move...," shouted the technician but Rizie noticed it late. She was about to move and was preparing herself for the collision because according to her calculation she would still get hit even if she tried to move out but she felt a pair of strong arms pulling her in a flash. For the first time, Rizie''s face got buried on a strong chest of a man and she felt a warm protective embrace of strong arms... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

''What''s this!'' she mused as her face panicked. "Can''t you at least stop swooning over him whenever you see Rui? Geez, you seem so desperate!" Dion scolded him with his gloomy face. He was mad seeing Rizie get hurt because of her clumsiness. It was okay to go after Rui in haste but she should at least be careful not to hurt herself. Rizie quickly moved away from Dion as if she avoided a fire that would burn her skin. ''What the heck is wrong with me?'' she mused irritably before looking at Dion with crumpled face and defended, "I''m not desperate just excited to run to the man of my dreams. Anyway, thanks for catching me there." Dion''s mouth twisted as he scoffed, "Next time, I will let you fall! Clumsy soul!" Dion turned around from her and quietly left her. Rizie pouted her lips. "What''s wrong with his mood? So overreacting and grumpy!" Rizie complained while she walked back towards Dr. Dee''s direction. Dion on the other hand was still in a bad mood as he went back to the office of the Department of Surgery. Yera noticed his crumpled face and asked, "What''s wrong?" Dion immediately relaxed his face and smiled at Yera. "Nothing. Just that there''s a clumsy mouse roaming around to get hold of a piece of cheese." he said with a grin. "Huh?" Yera confusedly uttered. Then she shook her head and said, "By the way, make sure you assist Dr. Gong properly in the hospital and stand strongly with Dr. CEO. They will face a lot of backlash after all this that has happened, so I hope you and Dr. Dee support our Dr. CEO along the way." "Why so you sound like you''re writing your last will. Well, to be honest, Dr. CEO does not need our help. He''s more capable than we can think of, so stop worrying about him and focus on yourself." Dion responded. He already knew about the whole plan of Yera joining in Life Globals the next day and as per the plan he would also join her soon enough. He released a sigh and looked at his sister. He tried to gather courage to initiate the words about their relationship, but for some reason, he still couldn''t bring himself to tell her everything as Xander suggested him to. Yera met his gaze and continued, "Yes we all know that but still... I feel sorry for him. Please lend him any help you can in whatever way needed. I have noticed that you and Dr. Dee are the only people who get along with him." Then Yera disclosed the matter of her sudden leaving. "I feel bad that I''m doing this and have to leave while this problem has happened." Yera murmured. "I understand, do what you think is best for yourself. All of us here will definitely assist one another Dr. Song, so don''t worry, I got your back on this and will tell the others in a manner that they would understand." encouraged Dion and cheered up his sister so she would not feel down. Yera smiled and unconsciously patted Dion''s head while she whispered in her beautiful smile, "Such a supportive colleague. I wish I was blessed with a brother like you." Dion''s eyes sparkled as her words penetrated deep in his heart. ''I''m your brother,'' he wanted to voice out the truth, but when he opened his mouth no words came out from there, his tongue declined to move and co-operate. After gathering himself up, he finally had the courage to at least mutter, "I''ll be your brother from now on." Another broad and bright smile was carved on Yera''s lips as she said, ""Oh really! Now you yourself have offered to be tortured as a brother, don''t regret your decision later on and no turning back on your words so you''ll be my brother from now on so don''t ever complain if I bug you every now and then." Dion laughed loudly and this time, it was a hearty and blissful laugh. "Bother me forever and your brother wouldn''t mind at all. But, you must also prepare yourself because I love bothering my sister a lot more¡­" Dion meant that because he would stalk his dear sister wherever she goes without her knowing. Yera''s eyebrows raised and said, "Well then we''ll see who will bug the other more but for now let''s move. Oh wait, pass all these records at the ER¡­" Dion grinned and immediately grabbed the files from Yera''s hands. Yera then let out a sigh before she walked out of the office and saw what else she could assist with outside. ''How cruel are those terrorists to even think of targeting a hospital!'' she despised silently, witnessing the patients being moved out from ICCu as well. This time it was only a threat but even then precautionary measures were immediately implemented by Xander. He would rather take a loss than risk innocent lives. She agreed with Xander, everything could be rebuilt and Yang Hospital would stand back on its feet but the lives of the people that would be put at risk and possibly lost was something that couldn''t be replaced with anything. She was too worried so she looked for Xander and found him in his office where he was in discussion with other soldiers in disguise about the matter. She was about to leave but Xander signaled her to stay. The bomb expert did find some bombing devices at some parts of the hospital and they had it all removed. However, the hospital would undergo investigation thus, operations would be suspended for a while. Yera bit her lip and she felt totally sad on how things had turned out to be. As soon as the disguised soldiers were gone, she hugged Xander to at least comfort her husband. "What about all the employees?" she murmured. She heard Xander sigh but then it was replaced by a brilliant smile of assurance. "I have to keep my employees. Though the hospital is suspended I will maintain the salaries and same benefits, some will be temporarily assigned at other branches where they would be needed." responded Xander with a wink before he embraced her tightly. "Will you really be alright? I can postpone my plan." Yera whispered. For her, being with Xander during his bad times was more important than anything else. "Hmm, I would love that but NO darling.... I told you it''s a very good opportunity for you. We must find the truth or else they will keep on targeting you at every available opportunity. I''m a Yang, so this is nothing to me. Just a piece of cake to be honest." Xander boastfully declared that made Yera pursed her lips. Well she fully believed her husband, seeing how he could still genuinely smile despite what all was happening around him. "Hugging you like this is enough to recharge my energy." Xander whispered in her ear before he tightened his hug on her as if absorbing energy from his darling wife. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Yang Hospital group is all over the news and many of their patients are voluntarily transferring to us. I heard the investigation will take quite long and the hospital is not allowed to operate until then. It''s now time we show everyone that Life Globals is much better than them." Roy nodded in agreement with his wife. "Lyndon is already working on this idea ." Roy casually responded that made Juliet to knit her eyebrows. "I noticed that you trust him too much now a days. I know he is capable but I don''t trust him that much. Are you even aware of how he is treating Jam?" Roy looked at his daughter with questioning eyes and asked, "Is there something I should know Jam? What''s going on? Is Lyndon not treating you well?" Jam pursed her lips. The truth was that her parents were not really as keen for her to get engaged with Lyndon in the first place. She faked a smile and said, "Not really dad it''s just that I think the engagement has been dragged for too long now I want the wedding date to be finalised but Lyndon is always busy." She was obviously complaining. She wanted to tell her parents about how Lyndon was not treating her well lately but she was sure they would only tell her to call off the engagement. She already bugged Lyndon''s father numerous times in a vague manner but lately all she could hear was Lyndon''s father also complaining how he could no longer get hold of his son and how Lyndon was killing himself by overworking himself. She was about to add some words to convince her dad about it when one of their servants suddenly appeared and gave the wireless phone to his father. "What? Who decided that?" shouted her father his roaring voice echoed inside their dining hall. HIs face was too red in fury. "That bastard! Who does he think he is to decide without my fucking permission! Get me Lyndon immediately!" shouted Jam''s father on the other line. Jam immediately sent a message to Lyndon''s secretary Shan who she was bribing lately for continuous reports on Lyndon''s whereabouts. In less than a minute, Jam''s mobile phone beeped. [The management indicted a forced retirement to Dr. Long. He would be replaced soon by a new doctor.] Jam''s eyes widened followed by a curse that her mom heard. "Fuc**k!!!" she said out loud. She already knew that Lyndon was trying to poach that freaking Dr. Deyna Song who looked exactly like Yera but she heard she had turned down the offer already. ''Did that bitch accept his offer?!'' Like her father, Jam abruptly stood from her chair to walk back to her room and talk on her phone. Lately, her hired men in disguise always failed to follow Deyna Song. She did not know whether the woman was just lucky enough or she was escaping from being discovered! To be honest she was more convinced that Deyna Song was aware she was being watched. She gritted her teeth as fury built in her body. If Deyna Song joined Lyndon in their own hospital then there would be war! She would make sure to do everything so that woman, whoever she is would be kicked out. She dialed Lyndon''s number and as usual it only kept on ringing. He was not answering her at all. Jam hated the feeling of being neglected like this but she could still not understand herself why she could not hate Lyndon despite everything, rather she hated other things or people that Lyndon took interest in or liked. Just like this time she blamed everything on that Deyna Song. Meanwhile, Juliet was left alone in the dining area and as usual she calmly continued with her dinner. After a while she shook her head and murmured, "Dummies!" ...¡­. At Yang Ancestral Mansion Yera was brushing her hair as she looked at her own reflection in the mirror. Xander was still not home, working with the authorities to fix and settle out things. She looked at the wall clock. It was already past 8:00 PM. Her husband had insisted for her to come home and rest because she was weary. She grabbed her mobile phone to call secretary Ness who was still with Xander and instructed her to make sure Xander ate his dinner or else she would rush to where they were and not rest. Then she let out a long deep sigh as she stared at herself in the mirror. Tomorrow, another chapter would start in her life. She wondered how many hard things she might face tomorrow onwards. Yera looked at the copy of the photo that she had put in a picture frame on her vanity table and her lips automatically curved upwards. It was the copy of the stolen shot assistant Ron had taken during the registration of her wedding when Xander suddenly stole a kiss from her out of the blue. Then she looked at the big frame on their wall which Xander insisted to hang, a bigger copy for them to see and cherish. "You can do it¡­" she uttered, staring at the photo. She would face everything no matter how hard things may be starting tomorrow. She would wrap up everything as fast as she would be able to so she could enjoy a healthy and a happy worry free life with her husband soon. If only her life was not at stake and his grandfather died a natural death, she would be willing to let go of everything she had lost. They could keep all the wealth with them, but then justice must be served! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

''Maybe I should tell Ness to convey my darling that I''m still too busy to eat, so she will rush here to be with me then... I actually want her to be with me always.'' Xander silently thought with a despaired look. But then again, he did not want Yera to get burnt out with the work in Yang Hospital. Besides, she had already been busy the whole day in helping the teams in evacuation and transfers. Tomorrow, she would need to prepare herself and be emotionally strong, because she would again set foot in one of her family properties for the first time after the incident. Lost in Yera''s thoughts he was startled when Rui entered his room and found him dreaming with open eyes. "Geez Dr. CEO, I caught you spacing out again!" he scoffed and comfortably sat on the couch in Xander''s office. "Why don''t you go home and rest. Be with your wife. We can manage here. Almost all our employees had not left from here and are still assisting every patient and will even stay until all is cleared. This is really amazing and touching to see that I''m in awe myself. You better go home and let me take all the credit myself for once as their COO, much reliable and competitive than their CEO." Rui added with twisted face as he looked at Xander''s tired face. He felt bad for his friend Xander, but also admired him, at the same time, for how well he was handling everything... as expected! "My wife wants to make sure I eat dinner. Since you''re here might as well join me you psycho COO. Well about our employees, they greatly support me and are very loyal too so dream on COO because I''m irreplaceable¡­" Xander boasted with a grin as he walked towards Rui with the take-out food assistant Ness brought. "Oh! I was about to pull you out for dinner. I guess having a wife to take care of you is really nice. Maybe I should get a wife too." Rui teased Xander while putting the food on the table. "We are almost done with evacuation. One more wing and everything is completed. Those bomb devices were untraceable by our scanners, they are indeed a clever terrorist group, to think that our scanners are made of high end technology already." commented Rui and turned on the television to watch the news because he had received a notification on mobile phone. "Oh God! Thankfully they located the hideout of those monsters!" burst Rui with his mouth agape as he added, "What the hell is wrong with your cousin? Are you two in a competition of who''s the most hilarious of all?" Rui could not believe how a pregnant woman, with twins in her womb, like Keira, still managed to report from such a dangerous site like that. Xander only shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat his food as he watched Keira reporting live from the underground hideout of the terrorists. "That mark! It''s the same!" blurted out Rui. Xander creased his forehead and saw that the terrorists did have the same mark with the one on a hoodie. "What is this Dr. CEO! Don''t tell me whoever is after Yera, has a connection with this terrorist group!" burst Rui. "Shhhh! Zip it, I can''t hear the television," scolded Xander as he listened carefully at the reports about the terrorist group. "Oh, they are not from that Quan Clan, so they want to frame Quan Clan by using their cyclone mark. Oh it''s so confusing, that person in the hoodie is also a fake like those terrorist or really from Quan Clan?" mumbled Rui and looked at Xander who seemed to be in deep thought. Now they had a lead about that cyclone mark. Xander immediately dialed Ralf and instructed, "Investigate deeply that terrorist group the military has caught and also check everything you can get about Quan Clan." Who could that cyclone mark person be targeting? Him or Yera? Things were getting more complicated. "By the way, the authorities want every record of our patients and employees. I wonder how long this investigation will take. But then it will be good for me to finally have a long straight vacation." Rui mumbled and that made Xander crumple his face. "How dare you! How can you leave your only best buddy in here like this!" Xander complained. Rui laughed and said, "Alright, so when do we begin?" Xander''s forehead furrowed as he naively asked, "Begin with what?" "What else? Stalking your dear wife because for sure that''s what you''ll do later." Rui pointed out. Xander chuckled because Rui could really read him well. "Look at that guilty smile. I''m just joking! Are you kidding me? How will you stalk her there?" asked Rui in disbelief. Xander burst out in a fit of laughter and said, "Well if there''s a will there''s always a way!" "I can''t believe this, you are really such a clingy husband." Rui bantered. "Single souls like you wouldn''t understand. Do you really think I will allow my wife to go there without me seeing her often? Of course not¡­ Especially now..." said Xander. "Don''t tell me you plan to stalk her inside the hospital and how will you do that? Everyone knows you are their rival." Rui started with arched brows. He wondered how Xander would stalk her wife when he suddenly realized¡­ "No Way! Do you plan to stay there? Inside the hospital for real? At Life Globals?" Rui burst out with rounded eyes. "Oh yeah. Very much YES!" answered Xander, still laughing as if he was satisfied with his reaction and in too much glee with the idea that came in his head. Life Globals group loved money and the timing was good. "Does Yera know about it?" asked Rui. ""Hmmm nope, I want to surprise her¡­" Xander murmured, excited to see the expressions on Yera''s face once she gets the surprise. Rui looked at Xander and shook his head. Xander would stay inside Life Globals as a patient, a VIP patient. He wondered though how would Life Globals treat a rival as a patient. It was an absurd idea and no one could ever think of doing such hilarious things, except for his dearest friend Xander. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

At Yang Hospital Dion puckered his forehead seeing Rizie was still roaming around in the hospital, offering and giving coffee to the employees as if she was a waitress in the restaurant. ''What''s with this public appeasement thing. Is she running for candidacy or something?'' he mused scornfully and was startled when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "What''s wrong with people today, why are you all spacing out? First Xander and now you, what kind of thoughts are exactly sinking deep in your head that make you guys zone out?" mumbled Rui. Dion noticed Rizie smiled broadly at their direction and waved. "Such a fine young lady. She''s been busy helping everyone all this time. It''s already pretty late and she''s still here." noticed Rui who waved back at Rizie. ''No wonder Rizie behaved like a busy body so Rui would notice her presence.'' Dion thought silently. He pursed his lips and frowned seeing Rizie was in a hurry to walk towards them with coffee in her hands. "Look at that clumsy mouse running like that?" he exclaimed staring at Rizie with a tray of coffee and he bet those were still hot. "Clumsy mouse? Hmm that''s a cute way to call a woman you like¡­" muttered Rui with his playful smirk. "What!" Dion blurted out and turned his head to glare at Rui. "What ''what'' Dion? I''m a psychiatrist and you are one of my patients so it''s pretty easy for me to read your face." Rui mumbled and then sighed deeply before saying, "Why do most men space out whenever they think about women?" Dion''s mouth twitched and scoffed, " Would you rather space out thinking about a man instead, Dr. Rui Dee? I didn''t think you had such fetishes!" Dion teased him with a wicked smile on his face. "Hmm, dear ghost observer, I have no such fetishes and instead of a woman I would rather think of places around the world to travel and discover instead. By the way, you and Rizie would definitely look good together. Though it would be more like a mouse eating the cat." teased Rui and he obviously enjoyed watching Dion''s embarrassed face and reddened ears. "Hey, caught you!¡­ Look at these red ears of yours. So tell me if Rizie is a clumsy mouse or are you perhaps the silent cat? Wishing to eat her up?" Rui teased more, chuckling and winking at him. "Shh stop that nonsense. She''s almost here!" Dion reprimanded, he got so worried that Rizie might hear whatever rubbish Rui was spurting out from his mouth, and knowing Rizie, he would end up rather dead. "What''s wrong? Are you perhaps afraid of her? Oh crap! Another man under a skirt!" Rui declared in horror. First was Xander who already gave him chills with his constant PDA and now even this ghost observer was going to walk on the same path. "If you don''t shut up now, I will bug you everyday and tell every detail of the supernatural beings I''m seeing left and right including the headless man I just saw near you¡­" "Fu*ck! Stop it, and I''ll zip my mouth now!" exclaimed Ruin in horror. He was a psychiatrist and not a shaman or witch doctor! Rui would often reiterate that to him and he grinned seeing how those scary descriptions made wonders like that to shut Dr. Rui Dee''s blabbermouth. The psychiatrist hated detail description so every time they would have a session he would leave the part of describing the exact figure and details of the supernatural beings or things he would see. "Hi Rizie, you look tired¡­ Why don''t you go home already? You and Dion must head back now, besides even we, the CEO and me are almost done here." stated Rui with his beautiful smile when Rizie arrived then halted as his gaze focused in a particular direction. "Guys, I think we should do an overall physical examination of the employees during the investigation." Rui muttered out of the blue. Rizie and Dion followed the direction of his eyes. "Do you still suspect Dr. Yao?" mumbled Dion and Rui only nodded. "Hmm, let''s see what I can do. Maybe I''ll try asking her to accompany me to a spa where I can see her back. You need to see a cyclone mark right?" volunteered Rizie. "No, don''t bother¡­ I will suggest this during the investigation if they happen not to have this idea to make sure our employees are clean from connection to any terrorist group." murmured Rui still staring in Dr. Yao''s direction. "I doubt they will find any mark on anyone, since those terrorist groups are also fake, framing up the Quan Clan from the triads. I''m sure they will easily have those fake marks removed by now." Dion muttered. Rui sighed because Dion had a point. These days, those marks could be easily removed from the body. "Hmmm, this case is honestly too complicated." Rizie commented. "Once we''re in the Life Globals hopefully everything will turn up well. I will make sure to help Yera to get to the bottom of this." she added in her serious tone. "Yeah¡­ the security inside there is very tight even though their files are locked, unlike here that patients files are open books to many authorized personnel. At Life Globals, only three people are authorized, Yera''s uncle, her aunt and Lyndon." mumbled Dion. He had earlier tried hard to check certain files but failed. Rizie frowned at Dion and asked, "By the way, how come you got involved in Yera''s case that much? Also, she has no idea that you will also join Life Globals in a few days. She''s not aware of you helping her." She was too curious to ask what was the connection because based on the briefing she got from Xander, Dion was helping Yera from a long time. She just did not have the opportunity to ask him about it before. Though she did ask Xander, the latter always moved the topic away from it. She looked at Dion who avoided her question and looked away from her and muttered, "I''ll be going home now. Everything seemed settled so I will leave first." "Are you still staying?" asked Rizie with her glittering eyes directed at Rui. "Xander is still here. I''ll stay until he''s here. I''m the COO so I won''t let the CEO take all the credit." Rui jested. "We should leave first. It''s not safe for a woman to go home late," said Dion and bid farewell to Rui. He suddenly pulled Rizie''s arm before Rizie muttered any more words. "Hey let go of my arm. I want to stay longer and chat with Dr. Dee," Rizie complained as she halted and tried to remove Dion''s hand on her arm. "Don''t you want to hear the story behind me helping out Yera for a long time?" Dion suddenly mumbled. Rizie''s eyes rounded and excitedly said, "Really? Oh then what are you waiting for¡­. Let''s go get more coffee outside!" Dion released a long sigh while Rizie was the one who was pulling his arm out of the hospital this time. Maybe he had been staying with izie a lot that he was getting used to her presence and he had started to care for her. One of Rizie''s weaknesses was being curious with questions inside her head and he knew that his involvement with Yera was one of the questions in her head that she was dying to know so he mentioned it so Rizie would no longer stay up too late staying inside the hospital. ''What''s wrong with me?'' he snorted and chided himself inwardly as he looked at Rizie''s hand in his arm, sending alien waves in him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She was awakened with this warmth and before she could open her eyes, she felt soft warm lips crashing lovingly against hers. "You''re here." she sluggishly mumbled and hugged Xander tightly, pulling his face on her neck. "Everything''s done?" she asked, still eyes closed. "Hmm, yeah, I''ll probably go to Country V in a while to focus on the building project there while Yang Hospital in the city is still under investigation. Good thing that the problem at Country V is now settled¡­ I might focus there for a while when you join Life Globals, so you can also focus better." said Xander while planting little kisses on Yera''s neck. Yera opened her eyes and moved to sit on the bed and closely looked at her husband. Xander also moved to sit up and asked, "Why?" "How long will you stay at Country V?" she hastily asked. She honestly hid something from Xander because she was afraid Xander would not like it. She would need to get close with Lyndon because that was the only way she could penetrate the confidential files of her grandfather that she needed. Hopefully they were still intact and were not destroyed. She already studied the changes they had done in Life Globals facilities based on the spies they had inside the hospital and she was really surprised to know that a lot had changed during her absence. There was a particular room where no one had access except for Lyndon, Aunt Juliet and Uncle Roy. She could try her aunt Juliet since among all, she was someone who was nicer and more of a quiet passive type but Yera would want her identity hidden so Lyndon was the only person she could actually approach in due time, being close to Lyndon as Dr. Deyna Song. All she needed was Lyndon''s identification card to access the hard copies of files in the confidential room. She wanted to know who all were inside when her grandfather was pronounced dead. They only got to find the name of the physician in charge, but he went missing a day after her grandfather''s death. There was no surity of finding any evidence inside Life Globals, but she would still want to take one chance. ''Keep your enemy closer'' that was the strategy she was going to apply by entering Life Globals. She had planned to take over the hospital, by doing so, the enemies would surely make their move so hopefully they could catch whoever they were. Xander grinned and said, ""Why are you asking? Are you worried I will stay long? Are you in a dilemma, because you know you will be missing me too much?" Yera gave him an awkward smile as she silently thought, ''I want you to stay there longer instead.'' Of course she would miss Xander but she needed to focus on the matter in hand. Knowing her husband, she was worried that Xander would not like it when she would play emotional games and use seduction tactics on Lyndon. "What''s with that face? Am I wrong? You smile like I gave you the wrong predicament." Xander whispered, not blinking an eye while he stared at Yera. Yera forced a wide smile and said, "Hmmm, of course I will miss you, but I think you should concentrate on Country V this time. Yang Hospitals is now facing a huge backlash already, so my darling has to work hard during this time." Xander narrowed his eyes, with a straight face stared at his wife and whispered, "Why do I feel like you''re hiding something. I''m not actually convinced." Yera pursed her lips and muttered, "Hmmm, stop thinking too much." She saw her husband was about to open his mouth again to say something so Yera quickly kissed him to change the topic and his mood. It was an invigorating kiss that totally silenced Xander up. Yera thought to give her husband a mind blowing night of relaxing union after the mentally and physically exhausting day so she moved and sat on his lap. Xander wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to himself. He smelled fresh after his bath and wore his set of sleepwear pajamas. Yera moved her hands down from his neck and started to pull his shirt up. She quickly removed the shirt from his body and threw it away and put her soft hands on his hard muscled chest. While her lips continued their aggression, her hands kept moving all over his upper body in a sensual way, making ripples of sensations form in his body and his heart. Yera continued with savouring his body and his skin, making sure he would cower under her aggressive control. She caressed his arms and gave his muscles a sensual massage with mild force, relaxing him and making him want her more at the same time. His grip on her waist tightened and he groaned without even knowing. Yera moved her hands to other parts of his body and dug her nails on his back, sending large ripples of desires surface in his actions. When Yera moved her hands to the side of his body touching his each rib as a prized possession, Xander pulled her in his grip and growled in pleasure. "Hmmm," Xander''s growling was the rewards Yera wanted to get at those moments and not stopping with her assaults she left his lips and mouth and moved lower. Yera gently pushed him on the bed and her head moved downwards. "Ohhh," he unconsciously moaned when he felt her kissing his hardness with his pants still on. His length was so hard that it was standing up under those pajamas forming a huge tent out there. His excitement heightened when he felt Yera suck it teasingly with his pajamas still on and very soon her hands were all over there inside his pants, touching it, caressing it and holding it gently. He looked at Yera and met her eyes staring at him with a devilish teasing smile in her eyes, he swore inwardly and was sure that she could even kill him with those teasing looks in her eyes. ''Take me in darling,'' Xander''s eyes pleaded unable to hide his requests with his eyes burning with want and desire. Yera seemed to understand as she moved her other hand to pull down his pajama so Xander''s length could finally breathe. She was tugging his hard length and never left Xander''s eyes on her as she stuck her tongue out and licked its head seductively. Xander''s body trembled as his teasing wife continued to lick the tip, swirling her tongue on it. His dear wife was playfully teasing him, making him hum louder with gritted teeth, due to the pleasure she gave him. When she finally took his length inside her mouth a loud moan escaped his mouth and all he knew was he drowned in the wonders she did, using her hands and mouth that made Xander''s toe curled followed by the jerking of his body when he finally reached his climax. WIth his misty eyes still in wonderland, he saw Yera positioned herself on top of him as she slowly removed her nightgown, showing her smooth curved breasts to him, making his length hard for the second time around. Yera bent down to kiss him while she intentionally brushed herself on him. He could feel her damped womanhood against his hardness, that was already slippery with his own release. Then soon after. His wife covered his length with her womanhood, gently moving on top of him, burning herself deeper. All Xander could do was moan over and over, saying words of love and endearment for his wife while he hummed her name lovingly. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He had managed to convince Roy Go that it was best to have Dr. Long leave the hospital as soon as possible, presenting him all convincing documents that Dr. Long was already a liability. Roy Go disliked people who did not share the same sentiments like him about earning money and treating the hospital as the money minting machine and Dr. Long often contradicted this idea. Lyndon also added that a Union against the management was being led by Dr. Long. Seeing that Dr. Long was the most supported by other employees as the best candidate for the next Hospital Director was enough for him to shut up Roy Go in whining why he immediately removed Dr. Long without him knowing. He stared at the glass of whiskey he was holding and whispered, "I will soon get rid of you." "Oh yeah you surely is doing that," mumbled a woman who sat at the bar stool beside him. "What are you doing here?" Lyndon scorned. Jam ignored him and ordered a glass of whiskey from the bartender. "Am I not allowed to drink with my fiance? Well, this is your free time from work I guess," Jam scoffed. Lyndon smirked and shook his head. He did not want to be rude to her as much as possible. But Jam was testing his patience. He clearly ignored her, hoping she would leave once he treated her unfairly but it seemed like Jam was really persistent. He looked at her with disgusted expressions and said, "I''m breaking up with you Jam, so please leave me alone.. You can tell others that it''s you who broke the engagement, if you are worried about your reputation. I don''t mind if you tell whatever you want to as the reason why the engagement was called off. Just leave me alone will you?" Jam laughed crazily before her face became serious. In one gulp she drank her whiskey before she muttered, "Hmmm, I didn''t see this coming. Honestly, I never thought that we will come to this point but you have left me with no choice." Lyndon looked at Jam a bit confused by her words. Jam gave him her lovely smile before she got up from her chair. One corner of her lips lifted up in a bitter smirk, before she leaned on Lyndon''s ear and whispered something and threw an envelope in his hands she then straightened up. One last time, Jam gave Lyndon an evil smile and said, "Better think carefully before you make another reckless decision dear. Otherwise, I can''t promise to keep my mouth totally shut¡­" Lyndon was left stupefied on his chair when Jam left. He was frozen on his seat, totally caught off guard. He looked at the envelope and crumpled it with gritted teeth. "Crazy bitch!" he cursed as his fist hit the table hard, startling the bartender. Who would have thought that Jam would find out about it and even dare to blackmail him like this. He should find a way to solve this matter immediately. He would not let that woman get a hold on him for very long. Meanwhile, Jam''s body was shaking as she walked towards her car. As soon as she was inside, she let out a loud cry. She cried hard for a long time and stayed there like that. She could do anything for her love and she did not care whether she does wrong or right as long as she could keep Lyndon with her, nothing else mattered. .......... At Han''s Ancestral Mansion Juliet received a call from an anonymous number. "It''s done. I have bought all the shares as per your instructions. Lyndon seemed not to suspect a thing. Now, you are the biggest shareholder Madame Go. Congratulations, you will soon have full authority at Life Globals as you always longed for Madame Go." greeted the man on the other line. "It''s too early to celebrate Director Chong. Keep monitoring Lyndon''s movements and I want you to report his every move to me. How dare he think he already owned everything." Juliet hissed from the other line. She knew her husband could not make it to top with Lyndon still inside Life Globals. Her incompetent husband would be forever a failure and her incompetent daughter was the same, being totally blinded by a ridiculous unrequited love. Juliet released a frustrated sigh. As expected, she would have to do the hard work since those two dummies always failed to satisfy her. She had long dreamed to have everything for herself, she wanted to manage Life Globals always, but her father never trusted her. She understood him since she was the younger one and not a male heir on top of that, so she remained quiet when everything was handed to her brother. However, when her brother died, her father still did not let her manage the family business, insisting she was a woman and her responsibility was to manage her own family instead. Juliet curved her lips into a mocking grin. Her father had her rot inside the house while he had the young Yera Han trained and later on handed her everything, all the rights at Life Globals group. And why was that? When Yera was also a woman. Juliet recalled how she came to accidentally discover the reason behind this bias treatment of his father. It was that time¡­ Her father was crying before her deceased brother''s photo in his room¡­ She clearly heard him mention the words ''my only blood'' while whining about her brother leaving him suddenly like that. She was hesitant at first, thinking her father simply said those words while grieving for his son he had lost, but for some reason her inner self told her otherwise so she did a DNA test, confirming that she was not at all a Han''s blood. No wonder she never felt the fair treatment from the start¡­ "It was all your fault why everything has come to this point. No one else should be to blame father. No one¡­ but only you¡­" Juliet whispered with a blank face before a teardrop fell from her eyes rolling on her cheeks, that she quickly diminished. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Rizie exclaimed and abruptly sat up on her bed. She looked at the wall clock and sighed seeing it was almost midnight yet she could not sleep at all. Dion said he would tell her something interesting but by the time they reached home, he declined saying that it was already late and he would tell her everything the next morning. "Shhh! What a bluff!" she complained as she grabbed her mobile phone to message Dion. [I can''t sleep. Meet me in the cafeteria near our building. I''ll wait there. You should tell me everything now or else I will bug you directly at your place.] She then quickly got up from the bed and changed her sleepwear into a short and casual shorts then she wore a jacket. Dion lived nearby, only a walking distance from her building. "How dare he kill me with suspense after bringing the topic up and igniting my curiosity!" she mumbled as she entered the elevator to go down and out. She even left her love interest Dr. Dee because of the excitement she felt when Dion said that he would tell her his connection to Yera over a cup of coffee. She entered the cafe 24/7 open cafe and ordered her favourite coffee and blueberry cheesecake. She was looking at her mobile phone and was startled when it suddenly rang. It was Dion so she quickly answered. "Where are you?" asked Dion in his serious tone. He could not believe how uncontrolled Rizie was when it came to digging someone''s truth. She could not contain her curiosity for even a single night. "What do you mean where I am? Of course at my favorite cafe¡­ I messaged you right, don''t tell me you didn''t read it. Helloo¡­" she hissed because she was still irritated at Dion for leaving her hanging. She heard Dion sigh before he murmured, "Alright you nosy body, I''m on my way! Why go there before getting a response from me!" Rizie rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Stop complaining and just meet me instead. I''ll wait here." Dion quickly put on his shirt and almost ran towards the cafe. He was so vexed with Rizie for going out so late at night like that. Thankfully he checked his phone before drifting off to sleep, which he rarely did at night, and saw her message to meet at the cafe. He used to put his mobile phone on silent mode often before sleeping, so even if Rizie would call him, he might not notice it, unless he intentionally checked his mobile phone. He was panting when he arrived inside the cafe. Rizie greeted him with her crumpled face but it softened seeing the sweat beads all over his face. "Did you run in here? Look how you are sweating." Rizie mumbled and immediately grabbed some tissues and stood up and unconsciously wiped the sweat from Dion''s face. "Why did you run, you dummy! It''s so near. You could have just walked over¡­" Rizie commented with twitched mouth as she continued to wipe the sweat on Dion''s face who stood frozen at his spot. Rizie''s body was too close and Dion felt something alarming. He cursed inwardly because of the electric waves he felt running all over his body, for no reason, and his face blushed. "Your cheeks are red. Wait are you sick?" Rizie burst, concern was plastered all over her face. She touched Dion''s forehead and cheeks and touched hers. "Weird, mine is warmer and yours seems cold," she whispered. Dion immediately turned his face away and sat on the chair. "What''s with you? Why can''t you wait for the morning? Look at what time is it already. Aren''t you supposed to report early with Yera?" Dion buzzed, changing the topic to hide his reddening. Rizie sat and countered, "You know that I won''t be able to sleep after you left me hanging with such a big secret. Geez we''ve been together long enough for me to know that fact, so you better spit it out now so that I would at least have that four to five hours of sleep." Dion sighed and was about to call the waiter but Rizie stopped him She smiled and said, "I have already ordered your favorite macchiato," followed by a wink at him. Dion was smitten and he immediately erased the thought in his head. ''What is wrong with me?'' he mused, totally irritated at himself. "So tell me now and let me at least sleep later!" mumbled Rizie with her sweetest smile at Dion she even had her eyes blinked several times as a pleading gesture that almost choked Dion with his own saliva. Then cutting around the bush, Dion directly said, ""She''s my sister, half siblings. We have the same father." Rizie who was at that time drinking her coffee spat it accidentally on Dion''s face. "Oh crap! I''m so sorry!" Rizie apologized and grabbed the tissues to clean Dion''s face but the latter pulled the tissues away from her hand. "It''s okay. I''m used to your grossness." Dion nonchalantly commented. Rizie had even sneezed in his precious handkerchief before his eyes and it was not the first time she spat something on his face accidentally. "Next time try farting on my face," Dion sarcastically whispered that made Rizie laugh. "That''s a good idea. Don''t worry I''ll do that next time since we are the best buddies!" Rizie stated. Dion pursed his lips and two words echoed loudly in his ears, ''Best Buddies''. Who? Him? Best buddies? ''Who wants to be Best Buddies with you?'' he annoyingly mused. His conflicted thoughts were interrupted as Rizie asked, "How? I mean give me more details because I have never heard that Yera has any siblings. And I assume she is also not aware?" Dion nodded and narrated everything to Rizie. After the serious talk, Dion walked Rizie back to her condo. Rizie was still in awe with the information she heard and was still absorbed in digesting all what she had heard, she walked out of herself and did not notice the bicycle that almost hit her, if not for Dion who quickly pulled her towards himself. "Hey! Be careful next time will you?" Dion shouted at the man because the bicycle was not in the right lane. The man apologized and Rizie only noticed that Dion still carefully held her by her shoulders. She tilted her head and saw his jawline. "I just noticed that you''ve got a nice and sexy jawline," she simply commented and touched her fingers there, moving them from his cheeks towards his chin.. Their eyes met and both felt something unusual. It was like the two were pulled together by a magnetic force. Dion bent his head down and Rizie thought that he was about to kiss her so her mind panicked. ''What is going on?! No! No!'' she shouted silently as she closed her eyes hard but to her surprise she just felt fingers on the corner of her lips and heard Dion hushed, "Are you a kid? Who eats like a kid? Smudging your face like that." She quickly opened her eyes and saw Dion''s expression as if he saw something gross. Rizie twitched her mouth and iritably said, "Tsk! You''re just too vain! Go home, I can manage from here!" Without a second thought Rizie turned around and walked faster inside her building. Dion on the other hand looked at Rizie''s back and made sure she was already inside her flat before he turned around to walk back to his condo. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She rarely called Xander that because she was not used to being sweet at all, very opposite of her husband who was always overflowing with sweetness. But she tried using it as often as she could when they were alone because Xander liked it, hearing it made him extremely happy. "Hmm," Xander sheepishly murmured. His wife drained all his energy though he did not do most of the work because his considerate wife did all the hard work in pleasing and satisfying him entirely. "Please, always trust me. Things could be very intimidating inside Life Globals. I mean you know that I need to do ahm I mean there are things¡­" Yera stuttered, unable to complete the exact sentence she wanted to say. Xander tightened his hug on her body. Both of them were still naked under the comforter as they cuddled with each other. "Darling, I do trust you. I know what you got to do but just make sure that you''ll be safe. In fact no, I will make sure of that. So do whatever you have to do and I will take care of the rest in protecting you by all means." "About Lyndon, he is the only person whom I can get close to for achieving the goals¡­ I''m worried that you might misinterpret things and¡­" Yera tried to state her worries but couldn''t find words to complete her sentence. She didn''t want Xander to feel hurt or get angry with her and misunderstand her in any way, but what else could she do. "Hmm, I will definitely not misinterpret things darling because I completely trust you. However, I can''t promise that I will remain still because you know how childish I tend to be whenever you get close to any other man, but I promise to try and behave well." Yera felt Xander''s chest, where she was resting her head, moved upward. He exhaled followed by the gentle and loving stroke of his fingers on her hair. "Stop thinking about it darling and let''s rest now. Always remember that I will not misinterpret anything that you must do, alright!" he whispered before his breathing became heavy and rhythmic indicating he''s fallen asleep already. Yera relaxed her body in the warmth of her husband''s embrace and closed her eyes. As long as he trusted her, nothing else matters. "I love you, darling." she whispered before she let herself doze off. The next morning, Yera woke up early and quietly got out of the bed and got ready without making any sound, making sure not to cause any disturbance that could wake up her husband. When she was ready, Yera looked at Xander who was still peacefully sleeping. She was sure her husband was very exhausted mentally due to the problems Yang Hospital was facing now. She gave him a gentle kiss on his lips before leaving their room. She saw her father-in-law, reading a newspaper on his seat in the dining area. "Good morning," he greeted with a smile as soon as he noticed Yera''s presence. Yera smiled back and said, "good morning father. Xander is still sleeping and I did not wake him up so he can rest more." Senior Yang nodded and signalled the helpers to serve breakfast. "Today you will be reporting at the Life Globals. Be cautious every minute you spend there, because we do not know yet who is behind everything. I''m sorry daughter that this thing is taking too long." said her father-in-law. Yera looked at him and quickly said, "No father, please don''t be sorry. You''re all doing your best to help me out and I''m more than grateful for everything to think that I''m the one still indebted." Senior Yang puckered his lips and jested, "Don''t mention the ''indebted'' word or else I will add more debt so you will spend all your life paying for it. Well, you can easily repay me with grandchildren, the more indebted you feel, the more grandchildren you should give me to play with¡­" Yera''s face flushed. Her father-in-law seemed to be reiterating his hope to have a grandchild soon. Yera would love that too but somehow she thought it would be inappropriate in her current situation. She heard her father-in-law laugh out hard and said, "Oh please don''t mind this father of yours¡­ You know how the old ones are. But, I''ll be boundlessly happy, of course, the moment I will hear the baby''s voice in the mansion." Yera did not know how to hide her very red face at that moment. Her father-in-law even winked at her and chuckled. ''Didn''t he know how hard working his son is?'' she wanted to voice out but she answered him with a bashful smile instead. She had a refreshing chat with her father a bit longer before bidding him farewell. June greeted her and opened the car door for her. June was the driver Xander had assigned to her, he was not a simple driver of course but was Yera''s bodyguard in disguise, at the same time. One of the servants was at her back and had her luggage to give to June. As decided, she would be staying in the condo unit she initially bought to temporarily live in after joining Life Globals. Xander strongly disagreed at first but she had somehow convinced him during their stay at his villa. Inside the car, Yera grabbed her mobile phone to send Xander a message. [Good Morning darling, I didn''t wake you up because you looked exhausted. I have already left. Take care of yourself on your trip. Call me once you arrive at Country V. I''ll call you later. I love you.] Yera let out a long sigh before she looked out of the side window of the car as they rode towards the familiar surrounding going to Life Globals. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Not too long after, she saw Yera''s car stop and she smiled. Her heart was thumping hard and she wondered if her friend Yera felt the same way. She had this kind of tingling feeling whenever she watched a thrilling movie. She saw June come out of the car to open the door for Dr. Deyna Song. He bowed and greeted her before going back to the driver''s seat. Xander had already introduced her to June who would be Yera''s bodyguard disguised as her driver. "Good morning Doc," Rizie greeted as soon as Yera came out. Yera smiled back at her. "How do you feel?" whispered Rizie. She was curious to know if Yera was nervous or excited. But one thing she could tell from Yera''s facial expressions were that Yera Han was ready and determined to do what she needed to do. "Hmm¡­ I actually missed this place. I wonder how much it had changed since the last time I saw it. To be honest, I have mixed emotions right now." Yera responded with a deep long sigh. Since she was a child and while she grew up her grandfather would reiterate to her that everything was hers. Especially Life Globals group, so she must do well to maintain her ownership and to show to others that she was the rightful and deserving heiress of the empire. So she did that. All she did was work and focus on how she could make Life Globals the number one and not just second best. That was her main goal before but now she only wanted justice to be served to those who tried to wrong her and her grandfather. "Alright Doc, let''s go in and kick some rotten asses," mumbled Rizie in a jest that made Yera chuckle. She was really grateful to have someone trustworthy like Rizie by her side. And yes, they would definitely kick those rotten asses. Yera walked inside the building and Rizie followed. The hospital seemed to improve a lot after a long duration of her absence. They had renovated a lot and given good emphasis on the architectural designing, putting more beautiful interiors and furnishings. She could see that Lyndon carried on with her plans for the hospital changes before, seeing the work of art in the interior design matched up to the highest standards. "Not bad, they''re definitely doing their best to compete with Yang Hospital even on architectural designs," Rizie commented. Inside the hospital, Rizie gulped seeing Lyndon and his assistant walking towards them along with other doctors to welcome Yera. Well, it was the first time she personally met them but she had already studied their profiles well. Behind him was Dr. Chong, the Director of the hospital and Dr. Dwayne who was said to be closer to Lyndon among other doctors. ''He''s like Dr. Dee to Xander. But of course my Rui is more handsome. This person looks cunning.'' Rizie mused when Dr. Dwayne gave her a quick blink with his right eye. "Welcome Dr. Song." greeted Lyndon and extended his hand to greet her. Then Yera was introduced to others and Yera gave them all her warmest smiles. Rizie noticed other staff who was looking at them stared at Yera in disbelief. ''They must be staff that knew Yera or work at the hospital during Yera''s management'' she mused seeing the obvious shock on their faces. They looked at Yera as if they had seen a living ghost before their eyes. "Let me introduce you to the Department Of Surgery that you will be handling and later I''ll tour you around our facilities." Lyndon cheerfully announced as he led the way and guided Yera. Rizie observed the situation in a very vague way. She of course had compared Xander and Lyndon physically as she followed and listened to Lyndon who was very warm and attentive towards Yera. Lyndon had a serious aura unlike Xander who was very friendly and approachable. That was actually one of Xander''s assets that made him look more charming. Lyndon was too boring for her assessment. Lyndon had his eyes fixed at Yera and Rizie could feel romance brewing in his eyes. He probably saw the image of his deceased fiance in Dr. Dena Song . She wondered what would he do if he found out that it was really Yera, his fiance, and how would he cope with the fact that she was already married to his biggest competitor?. She knew about Xander''s plan of staying at Life Globals in a while as a patient, and she wondered how long would Xander be able to control his emotions and not kill Lyndon for those looks towards Yera. And how would Yera react when Xander would be admitted in this hospital, but, she must sealed her lips about this thing from Yera because it was a surprise for Yera from Xander. A playful grin curved on her lips because of an idea to bet with Dion later or maybe she would directly Xander himself. Rizie suddenly felt envious, hoping she could have someone as loving, caring and easy going man like Dr. CEO. With that thought Dion''s face suddenly popped up in her head and she panicked. ''What with that? Are you crazy Rizie?!'' She scolded her inner self and could not believe that weirdo even crossed her mind when thinking about her love interest. They all walked first to the Department of Surgery and Rizie tried her best to maintain her act together, seeing how flabbergasted the people inside were. "Please take care of Dr. Deyna Song. She will be your new Chief Doctor in place of Doctor Long." Introduced Lyndon. There was a long moment of silence. Yera gave them all her warmest smile and said, "I know I look like the late Dr. Yera Han. Please don''t be mistaken. I''m Dr. Deyna Song and I hope to work well with you all. Please take care of me." Then that was the time that the doctors and others seemed to be awakened and greeted her with respect. They did know someone would replace Dr. Long soon but never did they expect it would be this fast. Some of them who had worked with Dr. Yera Han before were still pale and speechless and totally in awe. "Hmm, maybe I should try to find out if by any chance If am the lost twin or something of Dr. Yera Han! By the way, then I will have power over this whole hospital right, since the Hans own it?" She jested with a broad smile. Then that instant the stiff faces who knew Yera Han somehow relaxed hearing the joke because Yera Han would not dare joke like that and on top of that, the smile on her face, as sweet as the plum and bright as the sun, so much unlike Dr. Yera Han. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She wondered how her previous office that was now occupied by Lyndon looked like now. She was already introduced to important key personnels at Life Globals and as expected, she saw terror and great shock in the eyes of those who worked for Yera Han before. It was like they saw a witch waking up from her grave and was about to cast her curse on everyone. Rizie entered her new office with a coffee and the two sat on the couch to relax as they chatted a bit. Of course they were very careful about what they talked about, because the office could be bugged so they only talked about the usual things about future work. Rizie on the other hand got the opportunity to stare at Yera and compare her physical looks with Dion since they were siblings. Nothing looked alike at all so she asked, "Doc, who among your parents you got most of your looks?" Yera was a bit surprised with the sudden question but she replied, "I look like my mom. Why?" Rizie nodded and she assumed that Dion probably got more of his looks from the father. "By the way, let me just remind you that you will have a meeting in an hour and¡­" The two women were startled with the sudden opening of Yera''s office. "Oh my God! It''s true then," a woman in her sixties burst out. Yera furrowed and muttered, "I''m sorry¡­" She looked at the woman in the eyes with her questioning and confused eyes that was saying, ''Do I know you?'' Juliet''s eyebrows arched but her face quickly softened as she walked towards Yera and said, "Oh, I''m sorry dear, it''s rude me. It''s just that I''m too flustered. I heard that a new doctor was here who looks exactly like my niece, so I rushed in here to see if it''s true." Rizie leaned on her ear as if to whisper something and Juliet heard it. ''She''s Madame Juliet Go, wife of the Chairman." "That''s okay. I got that questioning glare a lot already, Mrs. Go. My apologies for not recognizing you soon enough. To be honest I''m not good with remembering people a lot,, except for those whom I often spend time with. I''m Dr. Deyna Song Madame. It''s nice to meet you." Yera said as she extended her hand for a handshake. Juliet stared at her intently. She looked exactly like Yera except for the hair and her cheerful personality. Dr. Chong already reported to her Lyndon''s intention to poach someone who looked exactly like Yera. She also knew that her ignorant daughter already did several DNA tests on her and it did not match with Yera''s. To be honest, whoever this lady in front of her was, did not matter to her as long as she would not be a hindrance for her in gaining full power over Life Globals group. Juliet accepted the handshake and smiled. "I''m really sorry about this." Juliet repeated while she studied the doctor''s every expression. Yera genuinely smiled and said, "No worries Madame, as I''ve said, I''m used to it already. But I must contest, I''m not the witch doctor like what I often heard about her." "But she owned Life Globals right? If in case I''m her twin, will I have the chance to own it also?" Yera jested once more and observed closely how her aunt Juliet would react. She saw Juliet''s face soured but she immediately changed it to a smile as she commented, "Of course, I would be delighted to welcome you to our family if that''s the case. By the way, welcome in our hospital and I do hope you enjoy working here." "Oh, that''s so nice of you Madame. Thank you." Yera simply replied. Madame Go soon bid her farewell and Rizie sighed as soon as she left. "I guessed you will have such a long first day at work. Later, you''ll see the Chairman too. I guess you really look like that Yera Han, huh that everyone look like they''ve seen a ghost." Rizie intentionally mumbled. Yera slumped her body on her seat and relaxed herself while Rizie commented more as scripted. "Maybe we should do DNA testing yourself in here to prove your identity Doc," Rizie added. "Yeah, I will talk to CEO Chu about it later. I heard Dr. Long was removed suddenly. Can you get me his secretary please I want to check the pending works." Yera asked. Rizie nodded and left her. She looked around her office more. She knew she was being watched and she sighed. The safest place to have a real conversation was only outside the hospital and that was the first rule they must watch for. She looked at her mobile phone and saw several missed calls and unread messages from Xander so she quickly opened and read it. [I already left and probably would stay for about a month or more until the investigation is finished. I love you. Call me whenever you''re free to talk.] Yera smiled and sighed. She was worried that Xander would act the opposite but seeing his messages confirmed that he was trying to understand the situation. Her face twitched though seeing his last message¡­ [Darling, I have eyes inside the hospital. If that Lyndon tries to touch you, I can''t promise I will stay still. *Sweat smile emoji" *stuck out tongue winking eye emoji*] ....... At Yang Ancestral Mansion Xander played tennis with Rui and was sweating too much as the two sat on the bench. "What''s with the waiting? Aren''t you too excited at being a patient inside Life Globals?" asked Rui panting while drinking his water. "Hmm, I want to try that proverb ''absence makes the heart grow fonder''. So I''ll let my darling miss me for a week before I got myself admitted inside Life Globals." Xander responded with his widest grin. Rui shook his head and teasingly said, "You do know that absence can also makes the heart grow colder right? And I bet that Lyndon will not waste any opportunity he can have. Deliberately poaching Yera as a doctor? Nah it''s because he wants Yera near him¡­" Xander pursed his lips and said with a raised eyebrows, "What do you take me for? Do I look like I have an inferiority complex over that Lyndon? Excuse me, I''m much better than him." Rui smirked as he did a countdown in his head, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," Before he went to 0 Xander was hastily typing a message on his phone and he would bet that his dear friend was now instructing assistant Ron to prepare his admission inside Life Globals as soon as possible. He loved this part, where he could effectively tease Xander. Xander would always get affected and take things seriously whenever it was about Yera. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He had planned everything already. He was prepared to wait for one week so Yera would miss him like crazy just like what her secretary Rizie suggested. He was keen to watch Yera''s expressions when she saw him after so many days. And now he was confused, he wondered who he should listen to. Rizie''s suggestion or Rui''s opinion? He had already instructed assistant Ron to check the earliest day he could get admitted inside Life Global, with a reasonable excuse that would not look suspicious at the same time. Even he was too excited with the thought how Year would miss him but his mean buddy just killed all his excitement by replacing the word ''fonder'' with ''colder''. "I''m going to really kill you Rui." He hissed followed by an evil smirk on his face, he knew what he should do to teach Rui a good lesson. "You will pay for your glib tongue dear Dr. Dee." He was grinning widely with the idea of getting even with his friend as he dialed assistant Ron''s number to instruct him about the change of plans for the project of country V. A few hours later, as expected, his phone rang. He didn''t pick up the phone in the first call. Then the phone rang again and he laughed hearing the impatient ringing of his mobile phone and as expected it was Rui again. As soon as Xander picked up the phone he heard Rui scream his lungs out. "What the heck Dr. CEO Xander Yang!" shouted Rui on the other line. "What? You only told me that my wife, Yera''s heart, might end up getting colder so I decided to get admitted as early as possible. Now you will have to look after our new project being the COO. You know that''s the biggest and an important project we are working at, so I can''t trust anyone else but you." Xander explained, with a mischievous smile still carved on his lips. "Yes, I understand that trust part, but how can you send Dr. Yao to accompany me? How evil are you to even think of doing this to me? Are you trying to get me killed?! I told you already that woman is freaking crazy!" complained Rui. "Precisely, it''s like hitting two birds with one stone. Get close to her since you suspect her from the start, that way we will be able to confirm if your suspicions are right or just merely suspicions. Don''t tell me you''re scared of her?" Xander teased. "Of course not! You clingy husband! I know why you did this, you possessive Dr. CEO! I''ll hang up now!" exclaimed Rui and Xander heard the end call beeped. He laughed out hard and mumbled, "You started it friend so enjoy your work with the best company ever in Country V." "You look like you''re having fun with someone son. Was that Rui?" said his father who suddenly popped up before him in the garden where he was currently having tea. Xander smiled and nodded in response, and then they both sat down to talk about the progress of things at work, with Yera and his future plans of expansions. Senior Yang listened intently and also kept giving his suggestions every once in a while into things. ...¡­.. At Life Globals Hospital Juliet shook her head in disappointment as she looked at her husband who was busy scanning a brochure of a new car to buy. No wonder her father would not let Roy take a high position in the company. Because Roy did not really care about their family business at all. All he cared for was how more money could be minted and then how he would spend it for his own leisure and contentment. Her brows winced. She had let him rule enough but he was still a failure without her, making her own moves in the shadow she had tried to keep the situation under control. "You''re too loose¡­ Are you even aware who Lyndon had replaced Dr. Long with as the Chief Doctor?" Juliet scorned, she was too irritated on how her husband acted recklessly. "Yeah, you mean Dr. Deyna Song? Of course I know dear. Jam had her checked already and she''s not Yera. Besides, I wanted her to be here to watch her closely." Said Roy with a smirk. He was boasting to his wife that he was not that incompetent as he seemed or she thought him to be. Juliet was surprised by it and nodded. Then she whispered, "Still¡­ Look after that Lyndon well, I don''t think we must trust him. I told you before, I will let you be at your position but once you lose that because of your negligence, I will not interfere in retrieving it to you again." Roy sighed and gave Juliet his assuring smile. He knew Juliet wanted to manage her family business since a long time but she was generous enough to give way to him. They did have an agreement. If he failed, he would let Juliet have her way and support her. Juliet hesitated if she would tell her husband that she had acquired more shares by using other people. The shares each had were very minimal but she had the highest share if all would be combined in one. It was a back-up plan because she felt that Lyndon was up to something. She told her hunch to Roy several times but the latter seemed to be satisfied at how Lyndon worked in the hospital as the CEO managing all the infrastructure and human resources of the hospital. "I met her just a while ago and she''s like Yera''s twins and to be honest I found it so absurd to be a coincidence. Jam was right, it''s suspicious¡­" said Juliet with a frown. "Well, if she happened to be Yera Han¡­ Do you think she will take over everything?" Roy casually asked. "Knowing my niece, she definitely will take back everything." Commented Juliet with arched brow. Ever since Yera was a kid, she already saw how authoritative she was. Yera was trained as the sole rightful owner of everything so she understood how Yera grew up to be a competitive woman. "Yeah your niece is very greedy. How can she disrespect us who''s older than hers? Taking everything and even scolding me on how I do my work," Roy recalled, gritting his teeth. Yera Han was an evil witch he despised. That woman would always give him headaches with her sharp words. The worst he could not forget was how she called him a leech. "I want that Deyna Song here. That way it will be easier to get her out of the way if she has ill intent in the hospital. Who knows, she can use her face and pretend to be Yera. We''ll never know for sure so it will be safer to keep her here." Murmured Roy. Nothing was certain yet regarding that woman except for the fact that she looked exactly like Yera Han. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"Welcome our new chief doctor in the Department of Surgery, Dr. Deyna Song." Lyndon gave her brief introduction to everyone. Rizie couldn''t ignore the looks of shock and horror on the faces of old employees who knew Yera earlier. She shook her head and commented, "another set of horror stricken faces." She subtly observed how Yera''s uncle Roy Go, seated as the Chairman of Life Globals group, would react upon seeing her. So far his face was blank as expected. He did not look as shocked stricken as Yera''s aunt. His look indicated that he at least knew and expected her to be such a familiar face, the same as with Yera. Probably he had seen Dr. Deyan Song''s profile beforehand being the chairman and he didn''t get the shock like others. "Welcome to our Life Globals group Dr. Deyna Song. I must say, though you probably got to hear this a lot since you came here, but you actually look exactly like my deceased niece, Dr. Yera Han and to top it all, like you she was also a good surgeon. Such a strange set of coincidences I believe are one in a million things to happen." commented the Chairman and everyone inside the room nodded in agreement. "If I may ask, Yang Hospital is currently number one chain of hospitals known to be very good to their staff also and probably you might have had a hard time deciding between the two¡­" the Chairman casually added. Yera smiled at him and confidently replied, "Hmm, yes I did but the CEO Chu''s offer was so good that I found it hard to resist, besides I loved the amount of money and great benefits he granted." "Hmm, I''m sure Yang Hospital would be ready to offer the same perks too in order to not lose such a great surgeon." Chairman Go asked and obviously he wanted to peel Yera alive by pointing her malicious intentions for joining the Life Globals. Yera gave him a cunning smile and straightforwardly mentioned, "Yeah but CEO Yang is not as generous when it comes to shares unlike CEO Chu who granted me an amount of shares of Life Globals group." Murmurs were heard inside the conference room at that sentence. Chairman Go''s face darkened as he threw a sharp look at Lyndon. As Yera assumed, Lyndon did not mention that one condition she asked in case she would join Life Globals. Lyndon cleared his throat and explained his stance on why he took that bold move alone. Everyone listened and so did Yera. She was well aware that Lyndon was being blinded by his emotions towards her, because of her look, that was why Lyndon was her main target and goal for finding the truth because she could easily use his emotions for her benefit. Yera sighed silently. She felt bad using Lyndon but she had no choice at the moment. She would just make sure to come clear that she was already taken so Lyndon would not attach himself with her that much. When the atmosphere was back to normal again, Chairman go finally said, "Welcome to our hospital then Dr. Deyna Song. I guess our offer was good enough for you to not change your decision in the future." "Yes Sir and I do hope that I had made the right choice. I will do my best to give the hospital my utmost service and to be your greatest asset in the future." Yera answered with a poker face. Chairman Go nodded and suddenly asked, "Have you checked my niece''s profile? She''s an asset too in the hospital and our family did really grieved hard when we lost her. It would be refreshing to see you around like we are seeing her alive and well like old times. "I''m sorry but I would prefer not to talk about her since I''m not her and I don''t know her. I''m sorry but I want to make things straight. It really makes me uncomfortable whenever I hear her name and when I''m being compared to a dead person, so please do not continue comparing me with her, because I will prefer to work with Yang Hospital than here if that continues to be a problem here. I have already and clearly mentioned this to CEO Chu." Yera instated and looked at Lyndon. Chairman Go clenched his fist. ''Insolent!'' he wanted to shout but tried his best to calm himself. This Deyna Song was too arrogant like Yera Han and he did not like her if not only for the fact that the wench was the best surgeon and most requested at that moment. Chairman Go forced a smile and said, "Alright then, Dr. Deyna Song. Again, we welcome you to Life Globals group." The meeting lasted a little longer as they addressed certain topics about Dr. Long and his pending works. Rizie admired how apt Yera was in giving pointers and helpful opinions. Rizie could tell how annoyed Chairman Go was all throughout the meeting. That was the plan, to bring out Yera''s ghost to everyone through Dr. Deyna Song. She could not wait to see who would make the first move in bringing Yera down. Yera brows knitted as she irritably murmured, "Oh common give me a break¡­" It was Jam who was at her door. "Hmm, I brought something for you." Jam scornfully said and pointed out at the funeral flowers outside her door. "Welcome to Life Globals. I heard you hated being compared to my cousin Yera or being mistaken for her or else you will consider leaving right? So I''m planning to call you cousin from now on and my eyes are always on you 24/7¡­" Jam continued with her poker smile. Yera answered her with a shrug followed by a beautiful smile. "Thank you for such a warm welcome Miss Go. I appreciate your efforts¡­ So if you''ll excuse me, I have more important things to attend to." Yera walked directly in her office and instructed Rizie to lock the door. "I guess you''re right. It''s such a long and tiring first day at work." Yera muttered as she sat on the couch and relaxed herself. Meanwhile, outside the door, Jam''s face was too gloomy. "Is she saying I''m less important?!" she growled as she walked out. She would now start involving herself in the business so that she could watch that Deyna Song and prevent her from getting close to her man. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

That moment kept on taunting his head since last night, when he fell in a daze looking at Rizie''s lips. "You''re such a nut!" he loudly hissed to himself. He almost lost it. Kissing Rizie¡­ Like really? That nosy body was head over heels in love with Dr. Rui. He washed his face with his hands in irritation before he got up and picked up his vacuum cleaner. Today he had planned to stay at his unit only. There were still four days before he would join at Life Globals and he was practically jobless until then. Dion wondered how he would spend the long days of waiting doing nothing. ''Hours seemed like days.'' he mused followed by a bored sigh. He was startled by the ringing of his mobile phone and he gulped seeing the caller ID. It was Rizie. It took him a while to decide whether to answer or not because he was sure Rizie would just bug his solitary hours. Another ring then Dion ended up answering. "Hey, what are you doing?" Rizie asked on the other line. "Vacuuming my unit." Dion simply answered. "At this hour? Anyway, I bet you are dying of boredom right now so let''s grab dinner together. I''m almost off from work and I''ve got a lot to tell you really," Rizie frantically voiced. Again, it took a while before Dion responded, "Alright, message me the address." As soon as the call ended, Dion unconsciously pulled his hair and crazily shook it. He knew that if he continued to get closer with Rizie he would be in trouble. No, not just trouble, but in a very ''big'' trouble. Dion walked in his living room as he bit his thumb. He stood like that for more than a minute, thinking hard about what to do. Obviously, he could not avoid Rizie''s presence since they were a team and both had to cooperate with each other to help his sister out. Also, he even needed to talk to Rizie like now so he would be updated about Yera''s situation in her first day. To be honest, he was starting to feel something he had not experienced before whenever he was with Rizie. He could not tell when it started but it was a disturbance for him. He looked at the wall clock. It was past five o''clock in the late afternoon. He cursed when his hand and fingers moved on its own texting Rizie to wait for him and he would pick her up at the hospital. Like a flash, Dion quickly changed his clothes and ran out from his unit with his car keys. Meanwhile, back at Life Globals hospital, Yera prepared to leave. "I''ll go first Rizie. I need to settle my things in my unit. Aren''t you going out too?" she said to Rizie who was organizing some files. "Alright Doc. I''ll leave soon too.. I''m just waiting for my pick-up¡­" said Rizie smiling. Yera was at the door about to step out when she paused to turn towards Rizie and asked, "You have a boyfriend now?" Rizie burst out in laughter while she said, "No Doc! It''s Mr. Third Eye. I bet he is bored sitting at home, not working for these few days, so I asked him to get dinner together." Yera nodded and gave Rizie a teasing smile and murmured, "Hmm, Mr. Third Eye and you actually look good together. Spend a good night together." Before Rizie could defend herself, Yera was already gone from the room. Yera was chuckling as she walked down the hallway from her office when she almost bumped into Lyndon. "Going home?" Lyndon asked smiling. Yera nodded and smiled back. "Do you mind if I invite you for dinner and let''s talk about work¡­ and the shares¡­ I wanted to discuss something about it." Lyndon asked casually. "Hmm. Can we do it tomorrow at your office? I still need a lot of things to do later CEO Chu." Yera answered politely. Lyndon gave her a half smile and said, "Yes, of course." Seeing Yera was about to leave, Lyndon offered, "Are you leaving already? I''m about to leave too. If you want I can drop you at your building since it''s along the way to my house." Yera paused for a while and quickly said, "Alright then." Lyndon let out an immense smile at Yera''s agreement. Yera on the other hand had a purpose for agreeing. Inside the car the two talked about work. Yera was thankful that Lyndon dismissed his driver to drive his own car instead that way it would be easier for her to install the bug she asked from Ralf. Yera suddenly touched her temple in the middle of talking, rubbing it lightly a few times. "What''s wrong?" Lyndon asked in concern. "Oh nothing, just a headache. Can we stop at a pharmacy in between? I forgot my medicine kit. I''ll just buy my medicine." Yera requested. Lyndon stopped at the side of the road when he saw a pharmacy. Yera knew Lyndon was a gentleman who would not let her out to buy the medicine. "Give me the name. I''ll buy it." Lyndon said and Yera gave him the medicine''s name. As soon as Lyndon was out of his car, Yera immediately moved and brought out the bug from her purse to plant it inside Lyndon''s car as how Ralf had instructed then she made a call and asked Ralf, "Are we good?" "Yes Madam. Loud and clear." answered Ralf and Yera quickly ended the call seeing Lyndon was on his way back. "Thank you." Yera smiled and ate the medicine that instant. As soon as Yera was settled, Lyndon drove back on the road. "Thank you for the ride CEO Chu." Yera said as she was about to step out from the car. "Please call me Lyndon when we''re alone. I feel so formal when you address me like that." Lyndon bashfully muttered. "Alright then Lyndon. Again, thank you for the ride. Please don''t bother to come out and open the car door for me. I hate those gestures," Yera said smiling when she noticed that Lyndon was about to go out from his car. Lyndon froze. ''Yera¡­'' he mused as he looked at Dr. Deyna Song who just went out from his car. Yera also said that to him the first time they met¡­ Lyndon''s eyes became hazy and it took a while before he started his engine back. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He was parked not far from Lyndon''s car and was there for some time now, contemplating whether to go inside the building''s parking area and go up at Yera''s unit or not. But then, he was irritated seeing Lyndon dropping his wife, though he knew that Yera agreed to take lift from him so the bug could be installed as planned. Yera was of the thought that he went to Country V already. He looked at all the paper bags kept on the side, that he brought for their dinner. ''Will I go to her or not?'' he mused... In the end, Xander decided to drive inside the building''s parking lot. He wore his cap, mask and shades before going out. This time was very crucial so it was agreed that he and Yera shouldn''t be seen intimately together yet. As soon as he was outside Yera''s door, he paused once more, as he was reminded about Rizie''s words when he vocally contemplated in going at Country V, "Dr. CEO, don''t be visible at all times. Give your wife at least a few days to miss you. Don''t you know that absence makes the heart grow fonder? That way, you will feel how she desperately misses you." Rizie was too convincing that time that he initially wanted to try the idea. To be honest, he had already missed his wife too that was why he ended up driving towards her building. He pressed his thumb on Yera''s door and it automatically opened. Xander went directly at the dining table and served the food. He assumed Yera was inside her room changing. It was the first time he saw Yera''s unit since they made sure that it was safe enough and he personally checked it. He wondered what was taking his wife so long so he went inside her room. Yera''s room was a bit dim and he could hear an instrumental music playing inside the bathroom. He silently walked towards the bathroom to see what his wife was doing. ''Stupid, what else? She''s probably taking a bath and you''re peaking,'' his inner self rumbled. True enough Yera was in the tub, her head on the headrest with her eyes closed. The lights were off except for the scented candle Yera had on the other side of the bathtub. ''Is she sleeping?'' Xander mused because she sat there motionless and did not move at all. A naughty grin plastered on his handsome face before he immediately removed his own clothes and gently stepped in the tub. He was about to sit when Yera moved and felt someone''s presence. She panicked and kicked at him hard as an initial defense. "Ouch! Ah Ah!" Xander cried and shouted again when the kick was followed by several punches and hits on him. "Darling, stop! It''s me! Don''t kill me please," Xander pleaded. "Huh? Xander?!" she mumbled in disbelief as she opened her eyes wide and had the candle a bit closer to look at Xander''s face who gave her an awkward smile, "Hello." Xander meekly whispered. "Hello?! Why are you here? What are you doing here? You even sneaked inside like a thief!" scolded Yera. Then she continued, ""Aren''t you supposed to be at Country V by this time?" Xander winked at her and said, "Hmm, I missed you." Then he shrunk as if he felt a sudden pain in his body. "Are you alright?" Yera was worried as she moved to check her husband. "Darling your kicks are really heavy." Xander whispered. Yera arched a brow and mumbled, "Who''s fault is that? When you could just approach me properly. Next time you''ll really end up with broken bones once I start learning martial arts." Yera added before touching Xander''s body to check what was hurting. "Where does it hurt?" Yera asked, worried that she kicked her husband real hard or she might have hit a very vital part in his body. Xander narrowed his eyes while his sexy lips smiled mischievously. Yera was checking his chest and heard her asked, "Where does it hurt? Here?" She was touching his body, inspecting it while asking if it hurts. "Hmm, lower¡­ I think the lower region needs attention from you," Xander hoarsely stated. Yera frowned and looked at her husband in the dim light of the bathroom. "Next time, I will definitely kick and aim on that lower region," Yera threatened and she felt Xander suddenly embrace her. "Hmm, please spare your husband who only desperately missed his darling, his lovely wife." "Tell me what happened? Why are you here?" asked Yera, worried that there might be any problem. "I''ll tell you later¡­ For now let''s finish bathing because we''re both soaking wet¡­" Xander muttered and Yera felt his hands were starting to roam and caress her body while his lips trailed from her ear to her lips. "I thought we''ll finish bathing? Why do I feel like you intend to prolong the bathing," Yera whispered while Xander showered her neck with sensual kisses. Instead of answering, Xander only moved to position himself in between her legs as he left her neck and continued to kiss her lips hungrily. The bathtub filled with water ended up drained of water because of the water splashing out due to savage movements inside the tub caused by the couple''s wild lovemaking. Both were panting as they reached the highest peak of their union. Xander was on top of Yera when he suddenly murmured, "Darling, what do you think of the saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder? Or do you think it becomes colder?" "Huh? Hmm¡­ I think it''s both¡­ the heart can grow fonder and there''s also a tendency to get colder? Not sure why? What''s with that?" Yera answered while she gently pushed Xander to get out from the bathtub and quickly rinse herself because she had a feeling that if she would not move quickly, she''ll spend another hour in the bathtub. Xander only watched Yera from his spot while he was in deep thought. He wondered if he should tell Yera about his plan getting admitted inside Life Global or would proceed with the initial plan to surprise her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"Wow, you sure you are going to treat me?" Rizie asked once more because the restaurant looked fancy wherein the chef would personally cook and serve the food on their table. Dion rolled his eyes and said, "I told you, it''s your first day at work so it''s my treat. But if you feel that it''s too much then let''s split the bill¡­" Rizie quickly snaked her arm into Dion''s while she said, "Nah¡­ You''re more loaded than me so you better pay for it." Dion looked at Rizie''s arms and frowned. "Hmm, don''t be so clingy. Please remove your hands," He commented. Rizie pouted her lips and replied, "what? It''s not the first time I have grabbed your arm. Are you being demure like now? Aren''t we best buddies? Stop frowning and be proud that such a beautiful lady is beside you and walking with you like this." "Why do you always praise yourself?" Dion simply said. Rizie laughed and bluntly said, "I''m just stating the fact ghostbuster¡­" "Stop that, you''ve been dropping several weird aliases on me¡­" Dion complained but was stopped by Rizie''s finger. "Shhhhh¡­ Alright, stop complaining and let''s eat." mumbled Rizie with twisted mouth. "I''m not complaining but I feel it''s a bit too much already calling me various aliases." Dion muttered, the worst one that he hated was the words ''best buddy''. He was really feeling irritated whenever he heard that. The two were guided by the waitress to their table and as soon as Rizie was seated, she looked at Dion who was busy checking the menu and she could not help but wonder why Dion was suddenly grumpy unlike his usual calm quiet self. They had been meal buddies for too long and he was not like this, he would only nod or answer yes or no whenever she talked, how come he was taking back at her a lot like now? She narrowed her eyes and blurted out, "Do you have some problem? I mean you seem like you''re not in a good mood lately. Why don''t you tell me? You do know that I''m quite good at giving advice, right? Tell me, talk about your problems and I''ll listen patiently." Dion always listened to her blabbering so Rizie thought that maybe she should let Dion talk this time and listen to him. She realized that she was the one who always did the talking during most of their meetings, about herself, her family and other things. Then it suddenly dawned on her that she had never asked much about Dion at all. "Hmm, tell me. How''s your mom? Are you having a hard time spending your days after being jobless these past few days? If you want you can always bug me whenever you feel bored like what I always do to you. Please help yourself." said Rizie. She heard Dion released a sigh before he told the Chef the menu he wanted him to prepare for them. When it came to food, Rizie let Dion to always decide since she was not a picky eater and she did not want to bother thinking what to order at all. Rizie stared at Dion intently. He had those sexy square jawline and strong chin that she really admired. That chiseled jaw made him look masculine that was enhanced with a mysterious aura because of his eyeglasses. Dion almost had the same feature like her dream man, like Dr. Dee, too bad because she already had her eyes fixed to the gentleman who lent her his handkerchief. "Stop it," she heard Dion whined. "Stop what?" she asked with knitted brows. She heard another deep long sigh from Dion before he said, "Never mind¡­" "Why do I feel that you have some problems. Is there something wrong? I mean what''s bothering you?" asked Rizie with concern. "You!" Dion wanted to voice out. But he was afraid that Rizie would change if he opened up to her what was bothering him because he himself was a bit confused with the mixed emotions filling in him. Dion stared back at Rizie and out of the blue asked, "Why do you like Dr. Dee that much?" Though caught off guard, Rizie quickly answered, "Because he was the gentleman who lend me his handkerchief and gave me encouraging words during my most devastating time¡­" Dion furrowed and said, "Just because of that? What if it''s not Dr. Dee who lent that handkerchief? Did you see his face? Are you sure?" "Hmm," Rizie coughed. "Honestly I didn''t see his face back then but I clearly saw his name on his lab gown, Dr. Rui Dee was clearly embedded." Dion rolled his eyes should he tell Rizie that it was not Rui but him? What would be Rizie''s reaction? Would that be a good idea? What for? So many questions filled Dion''s head with a lot of probabilities but in the end he chose to remain quiet because he knew he was still confused so he needed to sort things out himself first. "Wow!!!" Rizie burst in happiness when the chef gave them a classic dish with various vegetables and seafood sided a dip while they waited for the main dish to get ready. No utensils were needed for these so Rizie got some lettuce and dipped in the sauce. She noticed Dion was still out of himself so she got another and dipped it. "Here! Eat first. Maybe you''re just hungry¡­" mumbled Rizie as she unconsciously pushed the shrimp with potato dipped in his mouth with her fingers. Dion was caught off-guard and immediately opened his mouth because he could feel the potato in his lips already. It was either he probably opened his mouth too big or Rizie pushed the shrimp and tomato deeper that he got to suck her fingers. "Oh sorry¡­" Dion whispered. Rizie winked at him as if it was nothing before she got another veggies to dip and eat like it was nothing, she even sucked up the sauce in her fingers. ''This is so frustrating!'' Dion complained inwardly. "Oh, it looks yummy," Rizie burst to change the awkward mood while she looked at the next menu preparing by the Chef that was called seared scallop with brown butter and lemon pan sauce. She wondered what was that tingling sensation she felt a while ago but quickly brushed it off her head. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

As much as he wanted to stay, he knew he had to leave for the sake of Yera''s secret. He decided to stick with the initial plan of getting admitted at Life Globals after a week of absence. Well, he did not have much choice to hasten his plans as well since he would be really busy during this coming week, not only with the ongoing investigation about their hospital but also because he wanted to personally check the matters regarding one of the culprits in their hands who was still in coma. He headed back to the mansion and went directly in their underground area where that culprit of Yera''s abduction was transferred. He went inside the room and saw Rui was already there, checking the man''s vitals. "Why are you still here? Make sure you don''t miss your flight tomorrow." he teased as he watched the monitor that indicated the man''s statistics. "Don''t fret my dear Dr. CEO because I will definitely catch my flight tomorrow and prove to you that my hunch never goes wrong." mumbled Rui with a twitched mouth. Then he straightened his back and looked intently at Xander. "I can''t believe we have to waste such a huge amount of money for this criminal. These kinds of despicable people deserve to be in a coma forever," Rui commented. Xander released a frustrated sigh and mumbled, "Yeah I know¡­ But we have no choice. We need to compromise in order to have a firm lead as who tried to kill Yera." Xander would personally fly tomorrow to transfer this criminal to one of their facilities in another country where there were specialised doctors famous for treating such cases and there he had almost 60% chance for him to wake up, though there were chances that he would still remain in the same condition, yet he wanted to try. Xander too was eager to know the name of the person who tried to hurt his wife before so he could effectively protect Yera from those people. Their own investigation now had one more aspect to look into and had broadened because of the possible involvement of that unknown person with the cyclone mark, whose identity was not found out till now and they were still investigating it. This was not an easy task, since the Quan Clan, who owned that mark, was not a simple clan. In fact this clan was very difficult to investigate because of their tight security. Not to mention that it was not advisable to get to their wrong side because they could definitely mess up with your life forever. So Xander was really hoping that the hoodie person did not have any real involvement with the Quan Clan at all. "I guess, you''ll be really very busy the following days to get sick and get admitted early," Rui teased. "Nah¡­ It''s a good excuse to make her heart grow fonder," Xander wheezed. Rui shook his head and asked, "Did you tell her about it?" Xander looked at his friend and grunted, "Yeah¡­ Uhm just a vague hint¡­ uhm in a joke?" Creasing his forehead, Rui cleared, "Huh? What do you mean?" "I joked with her saying, if I get sick¡­ I have no place to run to this time but Life Globals, so she would have to take care of me personally if I ended up being there," Xander started recalling Yera''s reaction. She was not totally against it if that happened so he took it positively. She even said that if that really happened it would definitely be an epic situation and Yera wondered how the people at Life Globals would take that scenario. "It''s not like Life Globals could be choosy with their patients given the condition that the patient is paying. Their VIP rooms even accept high ranking officials, the ones that should be serving their term in jail, but because of the so called false ailment, they stay at the hospital. Hospital arrests as they call it, hospital detention my butt, when they get the best service ever like high standard hotels¡­" scorned Xander. That was the difference between his management and Lyndon''s. They never faked hospital results just for the sake of profit. He made sure that Yang Hospital maintained their credibility and loyalty to serve the patients with all honesty and best services they could offer. "Hmm so because she did not react negatively you did not bother to tell her your plan¡­" Rui mumbled. Xander laughed and boastfully stated, "Yeah¡­ Moreover, It''s a surprise Rui. How can you call it a surprise if I tell her about it beforehand? Besides, I''ll be out of her sight for a week¡­ That would be torment enough for me really. And I''m confident it would be the same for her so YES she will definitely love it once she sees me inside Life Hospital roaming around to ask for her attention¡­" "Really, you''re one in a million confident guy I have ever encountered in my whole life. By the way, any news about the other man you are looking for. The leader, the one with a voice Yera could recognize?" Asked Rui. Xander let out a long sigh before saying, "Ralf almost had caught him, but someone is helping him from behind, giving him everything he needs so he could hide well. Maybe that is the main culprit who was the one behind it all. I mean my security group and investigation teams are one of the best so how come they can''t get a hold of that culprit unless someone very big and influential is behind him and supporting that as*shole from shadows..." growled Xander. He was frustrated because the man was caught on cctv. He was alive¡­ But it was hard to capture him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

The patient was Brione and she did not want any other doctor to handle her operation. Brione was a superstar and very popular worldwide. Yera often saw her on the television, in drama series, movies, commercials and a lot more. The superstar had a sudden intolerable pain during her pictorial accompanied by fever and vomiting so she was rushed in the hospital. Her handler insisted to get her for Brione''s emergency operation suggested by the doctors in the emergency room. Brione was still conscious when Yera arrived. "Brief me her condition," Yera instructed the doctor who was with Brione near her bed. She immediately checked Brione while she listened to the doctor who diagnosed her condition. "Doc, I heard you are the best surgeon in this city and specialise in difficult cases. Yang Globals was closed so I told my manager to bring me here since you''re here." murmured Brione who looked so pale at that moment due to fever and vomiting. "Ready her for operation. We need to do emergency appendectomy immediately." Yera instructed before she smiled at Brione. "You''ll be fine soon so relax your body Miss Brione," said Yera with her assuring smile. "Doc, I only have one request. Please make sure you won''t leave any mark on my body. You know how important my skin is to me¡­" Brion said in her serious voice so Yera hesitated if it was a joke. She was not updated with the entertainment industry but she did know Brione was too popular. She winked at the beautiful lady and said, "Don''t worry, you won''t even notice a mark.." Yera immediately proceeded at the operating room as soon as the patient was transferred there. She cleaned her hands and arms up to her elbows with a germ-killing cleaner before the operation after she changed into her scrub suit. "Good morning Dr. Song. I''m Dr. Xiao, I will be your assistant for this operation." greeted the man whom she had already met before. Dr. Xiao was not yet in their hospital during her days as the CEO so the latter was not awkward on greeting her unlike others who knew and worked with Yera Han. Yera simply smiled and nodded then proceeded towards the operating room. "I can''t believe it¡­ Gosh, I''m a great fan of Brione. The hospital is in fuss right now because most people inside loves her." murmured Dr. Xiao behind her who was obviously fanboying over the superstar. She did not comment but grinned inwardly because if she was the old Yera she would have sarcastically said to Dr. Xiao, ''Too bad Brione would be unconscious during the surgery so stop fanboying and make sure you do your work properly by focusing at the surgery instead of fanboying.'' She went inside the operating room where Brione was assigned. She intently looked at the team inside before she said, "I''m Dr. Deyna Song and we will do an emergency appendectomy to the patient. I expect everyone inside to be in their good condition. If any of you are not focus and confident enough, get out of the room this instant so we can find your replacement." Everyone inside the room gulped. Yera signaled everyone that the surgery would now start. Yera positioned herself and proceeded with the laparoscopic appendectomy. She made a small keyhole incision near the bellybutton with a tube. The surgery went well and Yera walked outside the operating room to announce it to Brione''s guardian outside. She was a bit startled to see the news anchor she adored, Gavin Wu. "How is she Doc?" he asked, and he sounded too worried. Yera smiled and said, "She''s fine¡­ She will be transferred in her room soon." As soon as Gavin heard it he immediately bid his farewell. "You will need to go at the conference room to update the reporters on Brione''s condition," whispered Rizie on her ear who suddenly popped out of nowhere. Rizie helped Yera wear her lab gown since she was still in her scrub suit. "I guess it''s my lucky day," Yera murmured for the first time. Since she was the Chief Doctor she would have the opportunity to deliver nationwide the condition of their most loved superstar Brione. For some reason, it was also a good opportunity for her exposure as the new Chief Doctor of Life Hospitals. "Yes Doc. Indeed it is." Rizie excitedly whispered. It was not a bad start for Yera''s first day at work. Her name would be known and more people would seek her services as a surgeon later on. Yera''s popularity growing at medical world would be an advantage for them. Life Hospitals would surely depend on her more if things like this continued. Yera saw Lyndon was already inside the conference room taking care of the situation. "Our Chief Doctor is already here and she will report about Brione''s condition," started Lyndon who turned his head to look at her while he continued, "Dr. Deyna Song." Yera stepped at the center and reported Brione''s condition whereas she would occasionally answer some of the reporter''s questions pertaining the health of Brione and if it would affect all her schedules since she would need to recuperate. Meanwhile, Xander was already inside his private plane, waiting for it to take off together with the culprit in coma when he saw Yera on the news as she discussed Brione''s condition. "Isnt my wife more beautiful than that superstar Brione?" commented Xander to assistant Ron beside him while he looked at his beautiful wife adoringly. "Oh, yes Sir. Madame definitely can be a superstar too and she really looks good on the screen." answered assistant Ron stuttering. He was not sure whether he did right because his Boss was so moody that if he would answer No, he would definitely get irritated, if he answered Yes, like now, he surely would be scolded later on. "Don''t look at the screen. Close your eyes. Only I have the right to look at her," assistant Ron heard his Boss murmur and he already expected this so he did close his eyes. ''Possessive husband¡­'' Assistant Ron wanted to voice out. "I''m just kidding Ron. Open your eyes¡­ I''m not that possessive as you think I am¡­" Xander said seconds later chuckling. Assistant Ron scratched his head. How come his Boss could often read his mind? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

We have everything arranged as per the instructions for the patient." Greeted Dr. Black, and explained to Xander the situation being the Director of Yang Hospital at Country U. Xander nodded and gestured the team to take over the patient he had brought while he walked with Dr. Black to discuss the treatment that would be given to the man by a specialised team of doctors they had formed to handle this case in particular. This facility in Country U was the biggest and most innovative one, apart from the one that he was working at building Country V. "We are confident that we can bring him back to life." Said Dr. Black. His group was developing a new technology and experimenting with some new medicines for this condition as well as they were also engaging a team of energy healers and some old school doctors who used various herbs and herbal concoctions for treatments for cases such as brain dead patients or those who fell in coma, mostly were hopeless cases. Xander was supporting the project as long as it would be a good innovation to sustain human life. It was their main aim afterall, save lives. "Will he regain his memory? That''s the important thing I need. I want his memory to be intact because I need important information from him. He was the culprit and he had done wrong to my wife but then I would appreciate to handle his case with care. Afterall he is still human like us so I want you guys to treat him as one but not just a mere subject for this project." Instructed Xander and everyone in the room nodded in understanding. "We do understand what you mean Sir." Responded Dr. Black before he continued to present the update of their study to Xander who intently listened. There were no definite time for the patients recovery but the timeline was one year. If the patient would not improve in that one year span of time then he was a hopeless case forever. Without the machine attached to his body, he would stop breathing. His mobile phone rang and it was Yera so he immediately dismissed everyone as soon as they finished with the discussion. He quickly returned his wife''s call. Before assistant Ron could hear the public display of affection of his Boss through the call, he immediately excused himself to attend on other concerns they needed to tackle during their stay at Country U. He was grateful for having such an alibi because his single soul could no longer take the amount of sugar he was getting from his Boss. He would end up having diabetes soon. "Yes, darling? Miss me already?" Xander lovingly said as soon as his call was answered by Yera. "Hmm, I just finished an operation for a very famous person. I got to see my crush too¡­ My long time crush¡­" Yera unconsciously blurted out. "Aww¡­ Good job darling. Are you intentionally telling me that you have a crush on someone so I can fly back immediately to you?" Xander chuckled. He thought his wife was only joking since he told her last night how he hated to be separated with her. "You know the news anchor Gavin Wu? I like him so much before¡­ I never miss watching him on the news. I think he is related to Brione. He was here a while ago, asking her condition." Responded Yera nonchalantly. Xander''s eyes blinked several times. He knew Yera loved to watch the news but not because of the news anchor. He totally thought Yera just wanted to be aware with the surrounding and be updated with things going on in the world. "Darling, do you want me to get jealous?" Xander whimpered because he had seen Gavin Wu a lot, especially during the gathering of the descendants of the great and legendary ruler Yao Yuren and his wife - The Untouchable Couple he was attending to yearly. He heard Yera chuckled on the other line. "No one knew this side of me but I''m really star struck. He was such a good anchor. Keira, your cousin is working with him right? I would like to get a selfie with him but I thought I will tell you this so you won''t misunderstand just in case you hear or see something. I don''t want you to get jealous so I''m spilling this secret of mine only to you." Yera explained while her face blushed real hard. She still could not believe she got the chance to talk to the news anchor Gavin Wu in person just a while ago. She met a lot of celebrities before but for some reason she did not have any interest in them at all except for Gavin Wu. She would recall herself squealing alone in her room whenever she would see him, he was a reporter that time during her younger days. Then he became an anchor and even though she was already in her older days she still loved to watch him on the screen. Xander was totally caught off guard with that deliberation. "Darling, how do you expect me to react on that?" He was pouting and his face was totally crumpled. "I thought you called because you miss me," he mumbled in his saddest voice. He heard Yera laughed then answered, "Of course I miss you too¡­ I called to say to you that you''re still the most handsome man in my eyes. Take care there alright and don''t skip meals. I''ll hang up now. I love you¡­" Then the call ended before Xander could ever burst more of his complaints. He immediately dialed his cousin''s number Keira. "Yes?" Keira answered. "Gavin Wu. Yera is a fan. Do you think you can do her a favor?" He said in his sulky irritated voice. Keira laughed out hard on the other line that almost made Xander''s ear explode. "Hey, you''re asking a favor. How come you sounded so angry. I feel like you want me to turn down the favor you''re asking," Keira teased. Xander release a loud exhaled and grunted, "Isn''t that Gavin Wu gay? I heard those rumors¡­" "Hahaha are you into rumors? Showbiz thingy now cuz? Gosh, it''s normal to have a crush on married couples. So stop sulking." Keira scolded. "Why? Do you happen to also have a crush on another man?" Asked Xander in curiosity. "Well I don''t have any." Keira quickly answered. "See what I mean?" Xander burst. "Haha¡­ We are cousins and we are so much alike. They even considered us siblings since we think the same cuz. So that''s why we are both the same. No other crush too except for our partners in life I guess." Teased Keira, obviously adding more salt to Xander''s wounded pride. "Tell me what my great sister-in-law wants to do to Gavin?" Asked Keira still laughing because she already imagined how funny her cousin looked like at that moment. "She wants a selfie and too shy to ask for it herself. Anyway, just tell Gavin that no too much closeness like putting his arm on my wife''s shoulders or I''ll kill him." Xander exclaimed with twisted mouth. He was still shocked to find out about her wife''s crush. How come he was not her only crush when he only had his eyes on her. ''So unfair!'' He silently cried. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Ralf asked his man who was monitoring any unusual or suspicious conversation they could hear inside Lyndon''s bugged car. "There was nothing at all. It would be best if Madame installs one in his mobile phone. That''s the best option." Ralf scratched his head because he already suggested that to Xander however, their Boss rejected the option of Yera doing this and scolded them. He even said they were all unbelievably incapable for asking his wife to do the hard work. But Ralf knew no one actually had that chance to complete this task except for people near Lyndon, because he was very cautious with his personal things especially his mobile phone. Maybe he should vaguely suggest this to their Madame directly? Ralf was conflicted as he scratched his head annoyingly. His face brimmed with irresolution when his mobile phone rang and saw the caller ID. It was Madame Yera and he was sure that she had called to ask about the status of their monitoring Lyndon. "Is it too early to ask? Have you heard any suspicious conversation?" asked Yera. "None yet Madame. Hmm, it''s quite hard to hear something from his car. Uhm Madame¡­" murmured Ralf from the other line and Yera noticed the hesitation in his words. "What is it Ralf? Spill it out. Don''t worry I won''t tell Xander that it came from you." Yera asked because she knew that the security group often hesitated to report everything to her when it came to her safety because Xander was too overprotective about her. Not that she was complaining because she appreciated this protective nature of her husband a lot because it made her feel really special and well taken care of, but she also wanted this case to be solved as soon as possible, and hence she was willing to do whatever was needed in order to have it immediately move forward. "Madame to be honest, it would be best if we can bug his mobile phone instead." muttered Ralf as he gently hit his head and bit his lower lip in regret, hoping it would not come to his Boss'' knowledge later on. "Alright, I''ll take care of it Ralf. Tell me what I need to do. Let''s do it soon while my husband is away." Yera strongly said. What harm could be done? Lyndon was a perfect gentleman and she could attest to that after being in a relationship with him for almost a year. After her conversation with Ralf, yera went out of the car and headed towards her clinic for her outpatient schedules. As soon as her outpatient was finished she asked Rizie to grab some lunch so they could also talk about ways on how she.could get a hold on Lyndon''s mobile phone to install the bug. The two decided to grab lunch at a restaurant not far from the hospital. They decided to use aliases to play safe whenever they would have a chat concerning Yera''s case.. It was Rizie''s idea. "When will you start taking self defense classes so at least you''ll be able to protect yourself in emergency situations?" Asked Rizie. Yera sighed. She felt that she would be very busy the following days to start with self defence training besides Xander already made arrangements for her to train and that possessive husband of hers wanted to train her himself or at least be physically present with her while she trains. Rizie gave Yera a lot of scenarios in which she could use to be alone with Lyndon so she could tap his mobile phone. After lunch they went back to the hospital and she was called at the CEO''s office. Lyndon was smiling broadly and congratulated her for handling the surgery of the famous superstar very well. "Indeed you''re a great asset. Because Brione chose our hospital, this way our credibility will increase." Praised Lyndon as he walked towards his couch to sit in front of her. As they sat down, Shan entered to serve them tea and she stared unblinkingly at Yera as if she could not believe her eyes. It was the first time she saw her, Dr. Deyna Song, in person since she was on sick leave during her joining and had just reported back at work. Mouth agape she froze and stood in front of her for almost a minute. "Shan, the tea." Lyndon reminded Shan but Shan seemed out of herself with her intent gaze in Yera. He could not blame Shan because she had been Yera''s secretary for years but she had been staring for so long already so Lyndon coughed loudly, "Shan.. The tea¡­" he repeated in a louder voice. "I''m sorry." Muttered Shan before he looked at Lyndon with hesitating eyes. She wondered why her Boss asked her to serve macha tea instead of coffee. Shan remembered the deceased Dr. Yera Han, who hated macha tea. Yera saw the tea and said at Shan with her friendliest smile, "Sorry I don''t drink tea. Please give me cold coffee instead. Thanks." ''Ma''am¡­'' Shan mused inwardly but remained silent. "I''ll go get it." She quickly responded and walked out to get Dr. Song''s cold coffee. She was shaking as she walked at the vending machine where she used to get iced coffee for Dr. Yera Han. Lyndon sat in front of her with an expressionless face. He seemed to be in deep thought when she refused the tea. But then he quickly replaced it with a smile while he asked, "would you like to accompany me in the golf tournament this weekend?" Yera''s face lit. It was a golf tournament hosted by one of the foundations they were supporting, before she would always refuse those invitations. "Sure. I love playing golf," she cheerfully said recalling how good she became in playing such sports with her husband and father-in-law. She could see the confused look on Lyndon. Yera smiled at Lyndon. She understood the dilemma because it was part of the plan, to vaguely show the same character as the true Yera Han every once in a while, the ghost of Yera Han. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She noticed Jam always in the hospital lately and later she found out that she was appointed as the COO. "Good morning¡­ my dear... cousin!" Jam sarcastically greeted her with iced coffee in her hands. "Here, I brought your favorite energizer to keep you awake." Yera gave her a smug smile and said, "You''re early." "Yeah, I told you I''ll keep an eye on you." Mumbled Jam who comfortably sat on the couch in her clinic. "What is it that you want Miss Go? I find it really weird that you have to bother yourself and visit me this early." Yera casually uttered as she wore her lab gown and readied herself for her routine round to check on her in-patients. "I''m here to just guard what''s mine so I hope you won''t mind my being here...cousin. Take my advice and keep yourself distant from my fiance or else you''ll feel my claws pinching you." Threatened Jam. Yera inhaled and exhaled before responding to her, "I think you should tell that to your fiance yourself. Dig your claws in him. I already have a man in my life who is much better than your fiance, so please keep him well to yourself. Now you take my advice Ms. Go, stop being insecure¡­ Life is short Miss Go, have enough love for yourself." Yera did not know what to feel about her cousin, whether to get irritated by her attitude or to pity her on how pathetic Jam looked because of her toxic love for Lyndon. Toxic because her love was filled with possessiveness, hatred, vengeance and it was not healthy. Jam''s face twisted. ''She has a man? Who is that?'' She mused and for some reason she felt relief with that revelation of Yera. However, she would still not give up. She would personally get a sample of her hair or saliva or blood to get a DNA test done. ''I will expose you very soon¡­'' she inwardly scoffed. "We''ll see each other often cousin so let''s get along well like old times," said Jam as she stood up ready to leave Yera''s clinic. "Stop calling me cousin because we''re not related at all. Why don''t you address me as Dr. Yera Han instead? That would be nice actually¡­ I like fame and money so if you will address me like that, people will also believe you and I will get the power of the whole hospital in my hands. Wow! you''ll be helping me to gain power right?" Stated Yera without batting an eye because she meant every word. She knew Jam was adopted so her words had a double meaning. Yera wanted to push everyone to their limits. She did expect chaos on her first day but surprisingly everything was calm down very soon. Jam''s eyes squinted as she scorned, "Thick faced. Let''s see how long you can enjoy your position. Enjoy until it lasts¡­" Jam went out of the room furious. Lyndon poached Yera but she would poach another surgeon and make a fuss soon so the bitch would crawl down back to where she came from. Yera shook her head. She was too tired to even bother with Jam but next time she would definitely put her to her proper place. She still had not slept at all because she did not want to miss her schedule of taking a round and checking her in-patients. During her rounds, she bumped into a man. "I''m sorry," said the man in shades apologetically. "Ohh doc!" He suddenly burst seeing her face. Yera looked at the man and her eyes widened. Obviously, the man was trying to hide his identity by wearing a cap, shade and his casual clothes. "It''s me Gavin. I was actually on my way to your clinic after checking on Brione. She''s still sleeping. Please don''t tell her you saw me here and that I came to check on her." He whispered. Yera was confused but nodded. It was twice already that Gavin would not want to mention his presence to the patient. Yera was still speechless. Gavin smiled at her and said, "Keira told me you wanted to take a picture with me to annoy your husband? Have you had breakfast? If not then let''s grab some now and let me treat you for saving Brione." Yera looked at her watch and estimated that she still had an hour to spare so she nodded and timidly suggested, "Let''s have it in the hospital cafe at the ground floor. I can''t go out." Gavin nodded in understanding and followed Yera who lead the way. Yera was too consumed with her opportunity to get close with her idol that she forgot to ask why would Keira say that the photo was to annoy her husband? Surely her husband would not get annoyed since she even told Xander about her being a fan of news anchor Gavin Wu. The two had coffee and Yera finally got a picture with Gavin using his mobile phone. "I''ll send it to you Doc." Smiled Gavin and immediately send the photos on his phone to Yera. She wondered why Gavin insisted to use his mobile phone for taking photos when she could use her own mobile phone but she did not bother about this since what was important was that she got to get that long desired selfie with her favourite idol. After some time, Yera thanked Gavin for the meal and selfie before she bid her farewell to continue with her work. Gavin smiled and looked at Yera''s back and then started to tap his mobile phone to send the photos to Keira while he twisted his mouth. If only Keira was not pregnant he would not heed the latter''s request to tease her cousin. Meanwhile, Keira received the photos and was grinning hard. She chose the best photo she would send to her dear possessive cousin. Sent. She counted as she looked at the screen of her mobile phone and before she reach to number five, her mobile phone rang. Keira was laughing hard as she listened to her cousin''s whining. "Haha, you''re really funny cuz. I can''t believe how much you overreact and show off because of love. Anyway, your reaction already made my day so I''ll hang up now. Enjoy your trip¡­ bye." Keira said still laughing. On the other hand, Xander''s nostrils were still flaring as he stared at the photo of Yera smiling sweetly with Gavin beside her with his arm on his wife''s shoulders. "Does a selfie needs so much closeness?" "I''m clearly more handsome than him." Mumbled Xander as he secretly visited Gavin''s social media page on his mobile phone. He looked left and right before making an alternate account for himself and then commented on Gavin''s page from that alternate id.. [The CEO of Yang Globals group is more handsome than him.] Then someone replied. [That was out of nowhere? Go comment on that CEO''s page and not in here you freaking crazy¡­] [That CEO is a womanizer unlike our Gavin] Then more replies came to defend that news anchor Gavin Wu. Xander''s face twitched, obviously that Gavin had a wide fandom. Maybe he should instruct assistant Ron to make his own fan page to see how much fan following he had! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Assistant Ron could not believe that he had to create a fan page for his Boss now. He even had to take the help of professionals because his Boss was a perfectionist, making sure every photo posted on his profile was perfect and had no room for negative comments. They even had to reschedule and had to fly back earlier than planned. His thoughts were interrupted by his Boss'' voice. "Are we all set? I want to go back as soon as possible." Mumbled Xander. Patient X was all set and his status would be reported to him daily. They called him patient X for confidentiality purposes. "Yes Sir, two more days and we will be back." Answered assistant Ron. They were supposed to stay for five days and their trip was not cut short to three days because his Boss'' was in a hurry to go back all of a sudden. Meanwhile, back at Life Hospitals, Yera received a call from Lyndon. He asked her if she was available to go for dinner with him, so they could also discuss some important matters while dining. Yera knew that it was only an excuse because she could tell that Lyndon had some hidden agenda behind the invitation. Or maybe, their technique to pique his interest was effective, showing him some of Yera''s side. That way he would get curious and she would not need to make any efforts to get close to him. She readily accepted his invitation because she also needed the opportunity to get his mobile phone bugged. She was the one who decided the venue for dinner. She wanted a place where she could have her upper hand and she booked the private room there. She messaged Lyndon the address and asked him to go there first and wait for her instead of waiting for her at the hospital and going there together with her, because Jam surely had her eyes on her and Yera didn''t want any disturbance during the whole time. "Why are you still here?" Asked Yera when she saw Rizie was still in the clinic. She was about to get off and passed by her office to get her things. Rizie smiled at her and said, "Hmm, you know I''m a dedicated secretary. I promise not to leave the hospital while my Boss works so hard." Yera laughed and jested, "Hey, I will not pay you extra for overtime. Go home¡­ Shooh!" Rizie laughed out loud and responded, "Yeah, I''m leaving now. I''m just waiting for Mr. Ghost. He is so bored that he asked me to have dinner with him while he''s jobless." Yera''s lips curved in a teasing smile as she said, "Last time Mr. Third Eye now Mr. Ghost¡­ Why do I have a feeling that it would soon be Mr. Boyfriend?" Rizie''s face crumpled as she contorted, "Stopppp¡­ We are best buddies and I want it to remain pure as that. You know who my future boyfriend is. It''s none other than Dr. Dee, only my Rui Dee!" Yera grinned and added, "Push with your lips, pull with your heart¡­ I heard that phrase somewhere. Anyway, I''ll go first." She winked at Rizie and left from there. Rizie remained with knitted brows as she stared at the door that just closed where Yera quickly ran through. "Hmmp, that''s pure nonsense! We are just friends¡­ Geez." She whined while she readied her things. .... Yera chose a private restaurant owned by Keira''s close friend to make sure it was a safe place where Xander''s security could be installed and keep an upper hand on any situation as well as monitor all the places. The restaurant was for customers who liked privacy. It was a nice traditional style cuisine where one could grill and cook their own choice of meat and seafood. Lyndon was already inside the room when Yera arrived. He was starting to grill some meat. "You''re here. This place seems nice and homely. I started preparing the food so you can eat as soon as you arrive." Greeted Lyndon smiling, he was obviously enjoying the evening. Lyndon was a foodie so Yera intentionally brought him here, also her intention was to spend a longer time together to get a chance of bugging his phone. "I like this place too so I thought you will like it here. I''m glad you did," Yera replied and sat on the chair in front of Lyndon. She looked at the table and saw Lyndon''s mobile phone. She murmured a silent prayer of thanks. As expected, Lyndon was a gentleman as always. He took care of Yera like before though Yera insisted for him not to bother. He placed food for her and put everything on her plate. "Hmm, eating this with drinks will be nice," Yera intentionally suggested to which Lyndon quickly agreed and ordered alcohol for them. The waitress served them different drinks since Lyndon ordered whiskey for himself while Yera had wine. Of course it was not wine but simple grape juice in her glass. Everyone was on standby, monitoring the two, waiting for Lyndon to excuse himself to go to the restroom so Yera could install the bug in his mobile phone. "Tell me¡­ What are your hobbies Dr. Deyna Song?" Lyndon asked. Yera drank her fake wine and simply answered, "Hmm, I don''t have any at all in particular I think." "Do you like parties?" Lyndon asked next and a look at his face and you could tell that the alcohol was slowly showing its effect on him. Yera looked at him directly, like how Yera Han would look at Lyndon as she said with a signature smirk, "I hate parties." Then she added, "I hate the crowd. Don''t you know that?" Lyndon''s face paled as his mouth opened in terror. Yera gave him a poker smile and clarified, "Haven''t I clearly mentioned that on my profile and I presume you had checked it well." Lyndon let out a sigh of relief hearing her clarification. He looked out of himself and disoriented when he stood up to excuse himself to go out to the restroom. As soon as Lyndon was out, Yera grabbed his phone. She wore her bluetooth so that she could hear the team who was monitoring Lyndon''s movement outside. She quickly moved. "Turn it back on as soon as you install it. Don''t forget to put it back the way he left it," reminded Ralf on the other line. Yera turned it on but it asked for a password. Yera cursed because Lyndon would be suspicious if he found his mobile phone suddenly like that. "He''s out!" Yera heard on her bluetooth. It was one of their men who was inside the restroom to monitor Lyndon. "He''s moving towards the room. You have thirty seconds!" Reported the other man. Yera input a code but it was wrong. She closed her eyes and quickly recalled the password Lyndon could possibly have. "He''s now at the door!" She heard on another line. Yera''s eyes widened as she heard the click on the door from behind. "What are you doing?" Yera heard Lyndon''s voice. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

His eyes were swelled up and his heart aching. He could not bear to look at Dr. Deyna Song for too long, neither could he stop his urge of seeing that so familiar face with distant looks. The pain was overwhelming because he could see Yera in her. At some point he felt that Yera was taunting her through Deyna with so much similarities. He was drunk but his mind was still clear. He opened the faucet and looked at the man who was busy cleaning other cubicles inside the restroom. Tears rolled down from his eyes and he quickly washed his face, tried to sober himself up from the alcohol. Maybe he was already drunk that was why he was getting too emotional at that moment. He pulled a tissue and quickly dried his face. After a few moments of composing himself, he let out a sigh before looking at himself one more time in the mirror. Then he gently patted his face and straightened his back and turned towards the door. While he was walking, a waiter suddenly bumped into him. "Sir, I''m so sorry," the waiter said apologetically who had almost spilled some water on him. It was a good thing that he was able to dodge away quickly. "Next time be more careful and pay attention," he irritably mumbled before he continued to walk back to his room. He opened the door and his forehead creased when he saw Deyna. "What are you doing?" Deyna was leaning on his side of the table with tissue papers. She turned her head towards him and gave him an awkward smile while she muttered, "I''m so sorry. I was getting some of your whiskey and clumsily spilled it here. Don''t worry I removed it, whiskey did not spill your mobile, I managed to quickly remove it from there." Lyndon walked at her first and grabbed the tissues from her hand. "Sitdown and continue eating¡­ I''ll handle this." Lyndon countered as he wiped the spill then he checked his mobile phone. Yera was still trembling because she was almost caught in the act. She bit her lip as she looked at Lyndon with sympathy. She tried two passwords, Lyndon''s birthday and the date they were officially engaged but they were both wrong. She contemplated and tried her birthday, that was the last thing she could think of, and shockingly, that was Lyndon''s password. ''He must have had a hard time,'' she mused with conflicted emotions. But she still could not trust Lyndon completely, because he was one of the main suspects. However, she knew in her heart and could feel Lyndon''s sincere feelings towards her. She only hoped Lyndon had got nothing to do with whatever happened with her. Yera''s bluetooth was still in her other hand and she secretly put it back in her purse while Lyndon was busy checking his mobile phone. "Do you want whiskey? I''ll order more." mumbled Lyndon who looked at her after checking his mobile phone. "Hmm, I think it''s a sign that I should not try it and just stick with my wine with low alcohol content. Who knows, I could get crazy when drunk and might end up killing you," she jested. Xander''s jaw muscles clenched as he responded, "You do not know how well you can tolerate alcohol? Never been drunk before?" Yera smiled and casually answered, "Yeah I''ve been drunk and according to those who witnessed me then, I turn out to be very deadly." Lyndon and Yera chatted a bit more about work before she received a call that was scripted so she could scoot out from Lyndon. "Are you sure you don''t need a lift?" Lyndon asked once more while she stood up and readied herself to leave. "My cousin is already outside. I''m sorry about this but I really need to go now. Thank you for the dinner." Yera said smiling before turning around to quickly leave the room. As soon as Yera was inside her car, she sputtered her nervousness out. "It''s successful Madame, very well done." commented June and Yera smiled at him from his rearview mirror. Yes they succeeded. She wondered if Xander''s plan to bug the Han Ancestral Mansion soon would be successful too. Ralf had planned to disguise his team as one of the service providers for her Aunt and her family who were currently residing inside their ancestral mansion. "One down," she mumbled as she relaxed her back on the backrest of her seat in the car. How she missed her husband who somehow had the power to take her weariness away. She wondered how her husband was doing, was he missing her like she did? To find out she grabbed her mobile phone and gave Xander a call. She smiled as soon as her call was picked up. It was always picked in a single ring and her call would always be answered by her husband himself whenever the mobile phone was in his hands. "Miss me darling?" Yera heard her husband''s initial greeting whenever she would make a call. "How come you often read my thoughts so well even though we are far apart?" Yera commented in chuckle at the other line. She heard Xander laughed as the latter responded, "Hmm.. I can somehow always feel your emotions even though I''m far away from you, and right now I know that my darling is longing for me. I can easily findout about your emotions because I think we are deeply connected and were always destined to be together. Perhaps this could be because I feel the same way¡­ I miss you so much that I always daydream about you." Yera flushed on how really great her husband was with his flowery words and that he never failed to make her heart skip a beatand her stomach scrunched with the feeling like butterflies fluttering inside her, because of his consistent words. "How was your day?" Xander asked. Yera told him what happened and how everything went well. Xander was only quiet as he listened. "It was my idea and I insisted to do this because I want to solve everything fast so I can be with you with ease and peace of mind..." she explained. "I understand but I will still want to know about the plans before you execute them darling. Geez, I''m not happy right now¡­" whispered Xander and did not hide his disappointed voice. Yera did not know what to say and only whispered, "I love you." Xander, hearing those sincere words suddenly smiled and responded, "Alright I love you too. But you have to make it up to me once I return. You have to dedicate your whole day to me." Yera timidly smiled on her own hearing the demand her husband was asking. "Yes I will¡­" she whispered seductively. "I changed my mind. I might not be contented from a whole day. I must actually have your whole life dedicated only for me." Xander teased. "But... you already have it darling," Yera bashfully answered. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

''Nah, what''s with Yera? Gosh it won''t happen!'' she kept musing and brushing such thoughts out of her head. Then she would sigh unconsciously. ''Why am I even getting affected with her teasing. Geez¡­'' Rizie complained inwardly. "You don''t like the food?" Dion asked in knitted brows because he noticed Rizie was spacing out the whole time like she had some kind of problem. "Are you alright?" he asked next when Rizie did not respond. "Hello!!!" He reiterated with his hand waving before Rizie''s face, waking her up from daydreaming perhaps? He wondered what was running in her mind because she seemed to be in a deep thought with a confused expression on her face. "Rizzzz¡­" he called her once more and this time he snapped his fingers. "Huh?" Rizie who finally noticed him mumbled. "Are you alright? You seem so out of yourself." He snapped. "Look at your food, isn''t it good? You have only had three or four bites." He added with concern. He was getting worried because this was not like Rizie at all. She was always lively and loud, in fact so loud often, that he felt like covering his ears when she started. Rizie stared at him directly without blinking an eye then she frowned as she opened her mouth and talked straightforwardly, "We are friends right?" Confused with the sudden question Dion subconsciously nodded. Rizie narrowed her eyes then continued, "We should remain friends and no one should fall for each other okay? I don''t want our friendship to get destroyed like others because of romantic involvement with each other. I want our relationship to remain as it is." ''Fu*ck! Is this what they refer to as friend zoning?'' Dion mused cursing. He did not expect something would suddenly occur like this. He did not even know how he should react to those statements of Rizie. His eyes stared at Rizie''s for some time. Rizie was intently waiting for his response while Dion gulped hard. He could feel himself choking inside though he did not swallow a thing except for his own saliva. ''What''s this?!'' He hissed to himself when he felt something sharp ripping through his chest. "Hey, Mr. Ghost. Why are you silent? Don''t tell me you want to be romantically involved with me?" Rizie burst in disbelief with her eyes wide open. ''Dion pick up your pride man!'' Dion''s inner self shouted at him so he defensively stated, "Of course not! Am I crazy? You''re a nagger and your blabber mouth is a total turn off. You are the total opposite of my type!" Well it was true. Rizie was the total opposite of his idea of an ideal woman because he preferred a prim and proper type of lady, very much opposite of Rizie. Rizie looked a bit shocked with Dion''s direct counter but then she gave him an immediate assuring smile. "Hmm, that''s good then. Our relationship as a friend right now is more than good enough. Okay let''s leave all this and continue eating!" Rizie cheerfully said and started digging back in her food. She felt something off but as usual she brushed off the feeling away. Dion lost his appetite but tried his best to act normal. Rizie just marked a friend zone on him. He felt very sad but he would not let her see it. He remained calm and acted as if it was not a big deal but deep inside he had this nauseous feeling where he hadn''t started anything yet and how come he was turned down this quickly. ''What should I do?'' He asked quietly. He never felt this kind of emotion before and in all honesty he did not know how to handle such things. All he knew was that he felt pain inside, was it his pride? He was not sure either¡­ He looked at Rizie and mused with a sigh, ''what a savage woman¡­ so cruel...'' .......... At Yang''s Security''s Headquarter Ralf had received a good scolding from his Boss last night but surprisingly it was not as bad as he had expected. He was grateful that Madame Yera backed him up. What was important now was monitoring Lyndon''s mobile phone as the installation of the bug was successful. He wondered how things would have turned out if Madame Yera did not get Lyndon''s password right that time. They did have a plan B, which was to actually have water spilled on Lyndon''s mobile phone and then in pretence of saving it Yera accidentally threw it on the ground from the table.. "What is that? Trace all these unknown numbers saved on his mobile phone..." Ralf instructed his subordinate as he was personally checking the contents inside Lyndon''s mobile phone. His man had even managed to open the media files and he gulped seeing Lyndon''s media files were full of his memories together with their Madame Yera. "He had kept all those files intact after so many years¡­ That''s really touching," commented his man who was opening the files. "Boss will surely get fired up seeing this." Ralf mumbled. Last night, the Boss strictly instructed him to send everything they would find on Lyndon''s mobile phone to him. "He asked for it anyway so let''s just send," responded his man, feeling really moved with how Lyndon kept everything in his mobile phone including stolen shots he probably took while he was with their Madame Yera. "How about Madame Yera? Shall we send this to her too?" asked the man as he started to transfer the files. "She didn''t ask for it so just send it to the Boss first. Madame Yera''s concern is to inform her if there''s anything suspicious at all." Ralf merely answered. He did not want another scolding from the Boss, so it would be best that his Boss would decide to bring this up to Madame Yera or not but personally he thought this was unnecessary since it was all in the past. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He just finished another toxic meeting before going back to the hotel where he was staying and slumped himself on the couch. He grabbed his mobile phone and checked the files Ralf had sent him. "What''s with her stiff look?" Xander commented as he watched Yera''s videos and photos from years ago that were saved in Lyndon''s mobile phone. Then he looked at the last video where Lyndon was asking Yera to smile but in the video Yera covered the lens with her palm. Xander''s heart skipped a beat hearing the words Yera said to Lyndon in the video, "There see that smile? It cost a lot to be in the video. Very precious for anyone else to see! It''s better that I smile in front of you directly, so don''t record it, that way you''ll continue to ask for my smiles and I will keep smiling for you like this¡­" He wondered what kind of smile did Yera gave to Lyndon at that time. Was it as bright, beautiful and lively, as her smiles towards him? Xander knew it was already in the past and things were different now. Yera''s smiles were only for him and he was confident about it. But the jealousy king of a husband couldn''t help but get jealous again! He looked at the photos next and smiled while he whispered, "Look how expressionless my darling is here. She''s always in serious look. Indeed, she needed me to change this stoic look on her face." Xander could not wait until the next day for his flight, to reach back and be with his darling. He called Yera''s mobile number but it only kept on ringing. He sighed at the thought that Yera was performing another operation. As Rizie told him, Yera had been working really hard lately and her name was often requested personally by the patients who underwent surgery ever since she went on screen to discuss Brione''s condition as her surgeon. His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ringing of his mobile phone. It was Ralf. "Sir, Lyndon had received a message from Jam. I sent it to you and I think it is something that shouldn''t be ignored." Reported Ralf. As soon as the call ended, Xander looked and read the messages Ralf were pertaining to. [I see that you''re still ignoring me. I guess you think I''ll go easy on you huh? Alright if you continue doing this then I have no choice but to pull you down. Do you really think I can''t do it? What will happen to you and your family if I spill the beans out? I can see that you''re not taking me seriously...] The messages were mixed with love quarrel but the words ''spill the beans out'' rang something that like Ralf said shouldn''t be ignored. Was it really Lyndon as he suspected? But what was pulling the suspicions less was the fact that Lyndon seemed to be sincere about his feelings for Yera Han so was the greed for power so strong for him to have Yera and Old Master Han killed? But how about the Go''s? Why not eliminate the Go''s? Or was there a possibility of them joining hands and being in this together? Xander pursed his lips as he read the only reply Lyndon made. [Stop that Jam. You know I''m busy. Tell me what you want and I will give you time for it.] ..... At Life Hospital Yera was too tired after doing two surgeries in a row. "I need a massage!" She mumbled with crumpled face as she walked out from the operation room and stretched her neck unconsciously. She removed her surgical mask and gloves and went straight to the trash bins near the sink. She heard a woman chuckle from her back. "Share some of your burdens so you won''t be exhausted too much. I''m always available to get your back dear, anytime you want." The woman from behind offered in her soft voice. Yera turned around to look who was talking, she got curious with her friendly voice. The woman looked familiar somehow but she could not point out if she met her somewhere or where had she seen her. ''Do I know her?'' She mused and the latter seemed to read the question on her face. "Hello, I''m Dr. Liza Moore, and I will be working here from now on. I have heard a lot about you so I hope we get along well." Dr. Moore said with a smirk as she walked towards her and offered her hand for a handshake which Yera accepted. Then Dr. Moore opened the faucet to wash her arms and hands to get ready. "I have an operation scheduled on my first day itself. I guess Life Hospital will get chaotic for quite some time due to Yang Global''s investigation so Life Hospitals group would be poaching more doctors like us I believe." Dr. Moore explained with a smile. "I see¡­ See you around then. Welcome at Life Hospital. Let me properly welcome you later then." Yera murmured before walking out with a creased forehead. She gritted her teeth. She was the Chief Doctor and how come things like this did not reach her. She walked straight to Lyndon''s office instead of heading back to her office to rest her tired body. She wanted to know who decided the matter of poaching more doctors? Especifically surgeons. Little did she know that Dr. Moore watched her back with a grimace on her face. ''I want her out of the hospital. Do you think you''ll be able to help me with that? If possible I want her credibility as a Doctor to be destroyed!!!'' Dr. Moore recalled the orders she got as she stared at Dr. Deyna Song''s back. She was generously paid to complete this dirty job. It was not the first time she did things like this. Yes, she was a credible doctor but apart from that she worked in the underworld. She shook her head. Too bad, Dr. Song seemed to be a very capable and great Doctor but her client wanted her to reach the hard rock bottom.

Yera rolled her eyes seeing the crumpled face of Jam. "Does your man know that you ate dinner alone with your CEO?" Jam scorned as Yera expected. Yera walked past her to ignore her but Jam grabbed her arm. "I''m really tired and have no time to waste Jam. Let me go." Yera hissed and abruptly pulled her arm from Jam''s gripped. "And where are you headed to?" Jam hissed. Yera sighed and simply answered, "I need to discuss something with the CEO. Poaching more surgeons did not reach out to me." "I made that call as COO so why not discuss it with me first?" Implied Jam with arched eyebrows. Then she continued, "I warned you to stay away from my fiance! You bitch!" Jam fussed that made Yera''s ears burst. "Tell that to your fiance yourself." Yera mumbled. Then she turned around and gave Jam a sharp look and said, "Why don''t you change your face and copy mine? Maybe that way you won''t have a problem with your fiance. Miss Go didn''t you know how to draw the line of determination from desperation? Just a piece of advice, what is really yours would eventually be yours and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be¡­ I''m sorry to say this but you actually look pathetic right now." Thankfully someone walked in the same hallway right at that moment that helped Yera to escape from Jam, who had to stop her whining because she couldn''t ruin her image in front of the whole staff. Her cousin was really pitiful being so absorbed in a poisonous love that she was harboring for Lyndon. Yera immediately walked towards Lyndon''s office¡­ Meanwhile, Jam wanted to beat the nurse who approached her back and forth for disturbing her during her catfight with Dr. Deyna Song. It was her idea to get more doctors, specifically surgeons. She had instructed their HR Department to get the best surgeons that they could to compete with Dr. Deyna Song. The board praised her brilliant idea and said they would immediately do it since the volume of their patients were doubled compared to before. Jam intentionally called an emergency meeting and discussed the matter while Dr. Deyna Song was doing an operation. "I guess, my cousin''s doppelganger already met her new colleagues." She grinned recalling the irritation on Dr. Song''s face. Jam was hoping someone among their new surgeons surpassed that Dr. Deyna Song who thought high and mighty of herself. Yera saw Shan at her desk who would still look at her in disbelief whenever she went in front of her. "Hello Shan, I see you still love K-pop idols." She commented with a smile that made Shan''s face paled. "Oh God how did you know I love K-pop. Are you perhaps¡­" before Shan could finish the words Yera smiled and nozzled her lips on Shan''s table where there were various magazines Shan just bought. "Oh," Shan gasped. Dr. Yera Han hated it whenever she would flaunt her K-pop magazines at work. Yera laughed inwardly at the thought that Shan must have been so happy after she was gone because she used to always kill Shan''s happiness and load her with too much work instead. Lyndon seemed to be lenient with her. "Is the CEO inside? Can I talk to him now?" She asked and Shan called Lyndon''s office to check. "Please go inside Dr. Song," Shan said as she opened the door for her. "Ice coffee Doc?" Shan whispered. Yera smiled and thought to prank Shan by saying, "Yes please and you know I love caramel mocha much right?" She winked and entered Lyndon''s office. "Ma''am¡­" Shan muttered, stood frozen at her spot as the door closed. ...¡­ "Are you ready?" Rizie asked Dion. They were having dinner together. Dion simply nodded. He would report at Life Hospital the next day. He waved his hand when he saw Yera at the entrance of the restaurant. Yera sat and Dion noticed her weary face. "You look so tired!" He exclaimed and looked at Rizie frowning. "You did not take care of her well¡­" he scolded Rizie. Yera laughed and said, "Hey why are you scolding Rizie? Don''t you know that no one can stop me when it comes to saving lives¡­" Rizie pouted her lips and looked at Dion. "Since you will report tomorrow then why don''t you take most of her surgeries." Yera creasef her forehead and asked, "You joined Life Hospital too?" Lyndon gave her the profiles for new doctors but she hadn''t checked them out yet. She left them in her office and headed directly in the restaurant to grab dinner with Rizie and Dion Dion nodded and said, "I''ll be helping you out there. It''s better than staying at my condo the whole day. The boredom will kill me." Rizie pursed her lips because she thought Dion would finally tell the truth to Yera. "Actually, Dion had something else to tell you too," Rizie started, making way for Dion to get his courage. Yera blinked and looked at Dion who looked pale as she asked, "what is it?" Rizie stared at Dion, waiting for him to start saying the words. But even after a long pause Dion seemed to be having a hard time opening his mouth. So Rizie sighed and was about to say, "Dion is your¡­" Instead of saying the words Rizie ended up hiccuping... "Are you alright?" Yera asked Rizie who only nodded several times. She felt her hands cold. Rizie gulped. Dion was holding her hand hard under the table where they were seated beside each other while Yera was in front of them. Dion did not let her hand off and gently squeezed it, indicating for her to stop talking. "I want to tell you that I will follow you wherever you work because I can see luck being beside you. I feel like I will rise to fame too by watching Dr. Deyna Song''s back. I''ll be your greatest sidekick." Mumbled Dion smiling. Yera laughed and the orders finally arrived. Everyone was hungry so Yera and Dion focused on the meals on the table.except for Rizie. ''What''s wrong with me?'' She.thought as she held her chest. Her heart was.still thumping hard. It was not the first time she held Dion''s hand. Oh, but it was the first time that Dion had grabbed her hand on his own accord, since it was always her who did it, grabbing his arms and hands. ''What''s the difference? Why did I feel something awkward and weird with him grabbing my hand?'' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He wondered how his darling would react when she saw him. He heard from Rizzie that Yera was working very hard lately and wished to get a body massage, so all his time in the flight was spent on dreaming about how he should help her rest and relax later with his magical touch. He was actually good in therapeutic massage since he had studied it once to give relief to his father. Xander slept while he was in the plane on his way back so he would not be exhausted on his arrival. His thoughts kept drifting towards Yera and how she would react and be happy on his surprise arrival. He wanted to build a lot of good and happy memories with his wife. Though he was calm, yet he could not help but still feel jealous with that relationship of almost one year that Yera had with Lyndon. He but somehow did not trust Lyndon so he could not keep his guard down against him. He knew Yera had no romantic feelings for Lyndon probably even earlier she was devoid of such feelings towards him, but that Lyndon... he obviously still had lingering and deep emotions towards Yera, and this made Xander feel that Lyndon must be having some agenda of wooing Yera, during her stay at Life Hospitals. After alighting from the flight, Xander went straight to Yera''s condo and settled his luggage inside the bedroom. The sun was setting and would soon be dinner time, so he checked Yera''s kitchen to prepare something for dinner. Yera on the other hand left the hospital earlier than usual because she really needed a good rest for her drained body. She opened her door and her forehead creased seeing Xander''s shoes. That instant, she was filled with inexplicable happiness and she immediately ran inside and found him in the kitchen with one of her aprons on him. "You''re back early¡­" she whispered before she ran to her husband and hugged him tightly. Xander smiled broadly, feeling Yera''s warm body against his. "I knew it. You missed me like crazy. Go clean up darling as I prepare our dinner." Xander whispered before he gently pushed Yera and gave her a smack kiss on her lips. Yera nodded and quickly walked to her bedroom and had a quick shower. She went out only in her sleepwear shirt. "Hmm, it smells good," she commented, smelling the good aroma of the dishes Xander had set on the table. Looking at her dressed in such seductive manner Xander gulped and decided to show some patience and tolerance for the sake of her tired body. He made her sit close to him and pampered her to the extreme, even fed her dinner with his own hands. After their wonderful dinner, Xander pulled Yera inside the bedroom. "I''ll give you a good massage that will make you feel better and relaxed. Rizie told me how tired you are now-a-days because of continuous surgeries that you are performing everyday. You know I''m actually a good physical therapist." "Huh?" Yera hummed a bit confused on how and very attentive her husband was to her. Well, Xander was always like that but for some reason Yera felt that something was going on with him. She sat on the side of her bed and pulled Xander to sit beside her. "Hmm, what''s wrong? Why do I feel like there''s something going on with you?" She asked, following her intuition. Xander gulped, his wife could definitely read him well. "Ralf sent me the files they got from Lyndon''s mobile phone. And it mostly contains your photos and videos in his gallery." Yera noticed the jealousy in her husband''s voice though he tried his best to hide it with his beautiful smile. She did not comment and waited for her husband''s further reactions. She heard him cough, probably clearing his throat before he added, "Do you wanna see them?" For some reason, Yera was in the mood for pranking so she nodded. She wondered how long could her husband hold his jealousy inside. "For real?" Xander reconfirmed. His voice filled with disbelief. Why would his darling still bother to see those? It was all in the past. His face couldn''t be painted as he picked up his mobile phone. "Hmm, do you know what Lyndon''s password on his mobile phone is? It''s my birthday," Yera whispered as she looked and observed her husband''s reaction. Yera suddenly got worried, seeing how downcast her husband was as he slowly took his mobile phone. She could no longer take that dispirited aura so she gently touched Xander''s face, cupped it between her palms, so that she could look closely at him. "Hey, I''m just playing a prank on you. But I can''t bear to see these lovely eyes being downcast and these beautiful lips to remain pursed. Please don''t get jealous because there''s no room at all for any other man in my life except my husband alone. You do know I love you so much, don''t you? So, although I''m deeply touched with Lyndon''s feelings but that''s all to it. I can only give him my sympathy¡­" Yera explained. Xander pursed his lips and mumbled in his low hoarse voice, "Darling, how could you mortify me with a prank like that¡­" Yera smiled and gently touched his lips with her fingers. "I was curious to know how long you can act mature¡­" she said chuckling before she leaned towards him and gave him a rewarding kiss. Xander was catching his breath when Yera released his lips. He wanted to take her right at that moment but he controlled the urge to do so seeing how restless his wife looked at that moment. "Hmm, remove your shirt and lay still on the bed.. I will massage your body and help your body relax darling." Xander said as he got the relaxing essential oil on the table. Yera did not move, her face looked a bit hesitant. "Darling, I''m really good at this. Geez, once you experience my magical touch I bet you will always ask for more later¡­" Xander guided Yera to position her body right while he helped her remove her sleepwear shirt. Her chest was bare-naked and what remained was only her panty since Yera did not sleep with her bra on. Xander gulped really hard¡­ "I''m hesitating not with the massage thing but because of that gulping," Yera mumbled with a teasing smile seeing the undeniable desire and longing in her husband''s eyes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Then he encouraged Yera to lie on her stomach on the bed so he could massage her back first. "I will use little pressure darling, just relax your body. It will relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, and anxiety." Xander began his movements and warmed her muscles up using lighter touch of his fingers. "Hmm," Yera moaned in pleasure as she felt Xander''s warmth and his gentle strokes on her back. She instantly felt her body relax and closed her eyes. "It feels so nice¡­ Ahmm¡­" Yera continued to release sounds of indulgence that made Xander curse inwardly because he could feel his own buddy was in frustration. Why wouldn''t it be? Yera''s soft skin was shining right in front of his eyes and her lingering soft fragrance oozing from her translucent skin were enough to make him go crazy inside. He had yet to control his urge to take her and give her more relaxation before relaxing his buddy in her! He started his massage giving attention to every inch of her back and did wonders on Yera''s back while putting lighter pressure along the length of the muscle fibers using the elbow, forearm, knuckles, and thumbs. Xander also used some more pressure on certain stiff muscles making her feel completely relaxed and wonder why it took her so long to discover this quality of her husband. Xander tried hard to concentrate with the therapeutic massage he was giving her but Yera''s continuous moaning were giving him electric shocks, adding more fire to his almost flaming body. He now started his game of pleasuring her on another level and took his hands on the sides of her back and rubbed her ribs gently massaging in circles, then he slid his fingers towards her front touching the sides of her breasts, shocking her and making her moan sensually with his erotic touch. As she moaned, he repeated his actions and this time slid his fingers deeper arousing the desires in her heart more and more. Igniting the fires of passion in her heart, he moved his hands down and started massaging the sides of her body with little force and kept sliding his fingers in her front every now and then. He suddenly brought his hands on her hips and grabbed the little fat that she had in his hands and started massaging her in circular motions there, sending waves of desire and relaxation at the same time. Yera didn''t know how to react as she was completely aroused and she wanted him, but she was also loving his hands on her body, relaxing her tens overworked muscles. Xander moved his fingers inside her panty and touched her sensitive spots on her hips pinching her lightly and again massaging her and suddenly slid his fingers again inside, touching the mouth of her wet cave grazing it with his fingers there. He removed himself from there and moved downwards to complete the full body massage that he had promised her. He took her beautifully shaped legs and started massaging them one by one while exerting the right amount of pressure and using his fingertips at the same time to make it sensual at the same time. He bent down low on her body, breathing close to her skin and making her flinch with the feel of his breath everytime he did it. Oh how he wanted to launch an attack that instant on his w¨¬fe but she was enjoying his magical and sensual touch, and he could also feel her rising arousal based on her body language, humming and moaning whenever he hit a tense spot either through massage or through his sensual touches. "You have really studied this?" Yera asked. At first she thought her husband was only kidding but after experiencing Xander''s expert strokes she realised that her husband was absolutely serious. ''But what he was doing was not only massage alright! He is clearly arousing me shamelessly!'' Yera mused. "Yeah I did enroll for it because I wanted to please my father. I always saw him trying to release the tension of his muscles in his neck and temples, then sometimes he would ask me to pull his arms or ask me to assist him with his stretching. I asked him to go and relax in a spa or any therapeutic massage but dad was not comfortable with it somehow. And you know how stubborn and workaholic he was before so I took the initiative to learn this massage to make him relax and be his personal therapist. That was the least I could do for my doting father." Xander narrated. Yera smiled and commented, "You''re such a good and thoughtful son." "Hmm, and a husband too¡­ I finally got lucky in having someone like you." Yera meekly added while her face turned crimson red. She was grateful that she was not facing her husband to hide her embarrassment. "Darling, how can you say something like that without looking at me in the eyes." Xander bent down a little more and huskily whispered in her ears. He could not hide the glittering of his eyes from feeling flattered. His thoughts were running wild by now and he sat up a little, used his hands to flip her and make her lie with her back on the bed. "It''s time to massage your front." He whispered, making Yera gasp loudly and getting shocked with the wild look of her strong husband who was showing his complete list in his eyes by now. . Yera felt shy with his hot gaze and was about to grab the sheet to hide her body but Xander stopped her. "I want to give you a thorough therapeutic massage," he said with his roguish handsome smile. "Xander''s relaxing therapy," Xander added with a playful grin. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

AGE UNDER 18 DON''T DARE TO UNLOCK THIS CHAPTER] Yera flinched as Xander started to massage her shoulders. He was straddling her, and while his hands moved on her shoulders his lower body moved on her sensitive areas, making her go mad with longing for him. It was relaxing but sensual. She started to burn and a small cry escaped her mouth when his fingers ran through her chest. Yera gulped as the tingling sensation she was feeling from the moment Xander touched her enveloped almost all the nerves in her body making her whimper and flinch in need for something gathering inside her every nerve. She unconsciously bit her lower lip when she felt Xander''s hands on her breasts. Her breathing started to become rough. She reddened hard when she realized how Xander was intensely staring at her as he continued to tease her breasts. Her nipples were so hard, indicating she was too aroused at that moment. What she wanted at that moment from her husband was to take her both nipples in his mouth and send her to the peaks of pleasure that she longed for, while he was away. She was yearning for it and it was all clearly written on her face that seemed to be understood by her husband because she saw him bending down on her chest and heard his hoarse and deep voice. "I am tired and feel a little hungry, I want to feed darling¡­" she heard him mumbled. Yera subconsciously arched her body, giving him full access, encouraging her husband to heed his own plead. She gasped when she finally felt the tip of his tongue teasing and gently licking one of her hard nipples while his fingers kept on playing with the other one. She missed those teasing lips from her husband and her own body was not hiding her own cravings as it arched for more. She felt Xander''s hand continued to caress her body as it moved further down to her waist, thighs, hips while his body followed. Yera bit her lips when she felt him bent down and his head was between her thighs. "Hmm, is that still part of the massage?" she whispered, not aware she voiced out what was supposed to be a silent question only. Xander raised his eyebrows hearing what she said and smirked before replying, "Now I will massage your insides darling. This massage technique is reserved only and only for you in this lifetime of mine." Xander''s breath was warm as her inner thighs could feel it. She was still wearing her panties but she bet he could see it was already wet, it had been while he was doing his massage. ''How embarrassing!'' she mused shyly, blushing hard with her own pervertness. She gasped as she felt Xander''s lips and tongue kissing and licking the inner sides of her thighs. "Darling, I will do better than the body massage. I missed you. I missed your scent. Did you miss me too, my touch, my feel¡­ see you''re already dripping with your desire for me..." Xander proudly whispered and Yera felt him gently remove her panties. He bent down and placed himself in between her parted legs. He put her legs on his shoulders as he pulled her closer to him, sniffing her and savoring her scent. Yera was at a loss when her dear husband started with his performance, invading her womanhood with his mouth. She moaned hard when she felt his aggressive tongue licking her clit, making her shiver with so much pleasure with its swirling followed by his sucking. She could feel her heart thumping as his tongue assaulted her insides, slurping her own juices by licking her slender folds. Yera''s head shook left and right while her left hand grasped the sheet hard while the right was on Xander''s hair. It felt so good that she moaned loudly, without reservation at all, letting her husband know how he made her ridiculously crazy with his sucking, licking and thrusting. His tongue was thrusting in and out deep inside her core, she could feel her body jerking as she was about to reach her climax. She was too close to the stars and the skies that she was contracting inside. Her hips were moving without her knowing. "Ahhhh!" she screamed out loud, grabbing Xander''s hair hard and this time with both her hands as her body shuddered and arched on her orgasm. Xander licked it all not sparing any fluids as his wife reached her pinnacle and released her juice. Her body was still shaking as his tongue licked the sleek of her core. "Darling, was this massage better than the body massage?" Xander vulgarly teased his wife who was still panting and totally speechless and only answered him by bashfully biting her lower lip. Yera was deep red with embarrassment and it turned Xander on more. Xander could feel his own hardness and wetness just by doing oral on his wife. He cursed because he swore he was near to climax himself with just a little movement or tugging of his buddy he may cum. Yera moved and pulled her husband up. Her eyes were still clouded with mist. She kissed him deeply, not minding her own taste on his lips. Xander still wore his clothes, a shirt and a boxer. Yera rolled on top of him as she continued to kiss him. "I missed you too," she whispered in between her kissing. She gently pulled herself from the kiss and tugged her hands on his shirt to remove it. She could feel his hardness as she gently brushed her apex on it with his boxers still on. She heard her husband groan. Xander was shaking too with anticipation. It had been days for him, being a celibate man for days seemed hard after Yera arrived in his life to think how he managed to do so for years it felt like sainthood to him now! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

AGE UNDER 18 DON''T DARE TO UNLOCK THIS CHAPTER] Yera was showering Xander with kisses, nibbling on both his nipples alternately, copying the way how he teased her nipples a while ago. Then Yera moved further south, planting small kisses on his chest, stomach and abdomen, teasing Xander with her tongue and lips everywhere she went. She didn''t fight back the desire of marking her husband with a few teeth marks and dug her teeth here and there to please herself and simultaneously pleasuring him with her childish acts. Xander bit his lips as he slightly bent his upper body up and rested his back on the pillows on their bed. He stared at his wife lovingly as she removed his boxers. He growled in pleasure and threw his head back closing his eyes, as Yera''s soft hands caressed his hardness, tugged it as if checking it s thickness and length with her teasing strokes. Xander opened his eyes to look at his beautiful wife and their eyes met like it were connected with magnet. "You''re so hot and alluring darling," Xander whispered in his hoarse voice not removing his gaze from her that was burning with passion and desire for his wife, who smiled sweetly at him while rubbing and caressing his member with her playful hand. Xander gasped when he felt the tip of Yera''s tongue swirling at the tip of his member. Soft groans escaped his mouth as the undeniable pleasure took over every cell of his body. His finger toes curled, evoked at the wrecking sensation as Yera''s tongue licked his erect member from its bottom to top while her fingers played on his lemons underneath. She was driving him insane with her teasing and skillful tongue. ''Ohhhh¡­'' he hummed and cursed at the same time. His breathing was ragged¡­ Yera was feeling aroused at the same time, hearing the sweet music of pleasurable moans from her husband. She could feel her own self dripping again. She began to slowly engulf his member inside her mouth, letting it slide in, making Xander hum continuously as she gently pumped her head up and down, covering as much as her mouth could. Xander was reaching heaven as he moaned Yera''s name in his hoarse voice and calling her darlings all over again. It did not take long for him to climax, but before he could burst it all out, in just a flash, he moved and had Yera underneath him as he immediately thrust inside her slippery cave. He pushed his member as deep as he could, spreading all his seeds inside Yera who was caught off guard with his sudden actions. "I love you," Xander whispered in Yera''s ear, stuttering as he caught his breath. "Dad keeps on bugging me for a grandchild so I don''t want to waste my precious seeds in your mouth. Might as well make it more productive in producing little Yangs than being just a drink so from now on I won''t let you drink it darling..." explained Xander that made Yera blushed. ''Why does it sound like he was scolding her for swallowing his semen whenever she would give him an oral love?'' Yera thought and was about to complain when she got interrupted by Xander''s attack on her mouth. He was kissing her hard and deep with his tongue abruptly sliding inside her mouth probing deeper. "Hmm," Yera unconsciously moaned when she felt Xander''s hips and buttocks moved. He was gently pulling his member out but before he could totally pull it out, he made another deep push inside of her. Her arms wrapped on his neck while she had her legs parted more before unconsciously arching her own hips and buttocks up to meet the pace of her husband who was continuously thrusting his hard and long member in and out of her inner core. Yera was drowning in pleasures as Xander''s thrusting quickened, filling her entire opening and alley with his fullness, giving her unremarkable pleasure all over. He was aggressive and Yera met his hunger, moving her lower body against him. The couple were both in a beautiful and ardent rhythm as they united as one, filling their bedroom with cries of pleasures. "You''re totally mine darling. I love you so much," Xander possessively whispered as he continued to devour her with his deep and hard thrusts, making sure he was penetrating her inside fully. "Hmm," Yera moaned endlessly as tears fell from her eyes because of overwhelming emotions, hearing the words ''I love you'' from Xander over and over as he took her to the highest peak of passion by speeding up his thrusts.. Xander stared at his wife whose breasts were bouncing up and down. His hands cupped them and gently squeezed her breasts as he locked his eyes with hers. Her stuttering moans were louder as he accelerated inside of her. He was about to reach his second orgasm soon but he controlled ejaculating to wait for his wife first. He could feel her muscle contraction on his member inside and the pleasure was overwhelming. When his wife jerked and screamed, "ahhh," Xander followed and released all his seeds inside her, burying it as deep as he could in his wife''s womanhood before he dropped his weight on top of his wife and gave her one sweet kiss. "Sorry, I tired you out darling¡­" he timidly whispered. Yera chuckled and said, "That''s okay¡­ You never tire me out. We can make love forever as long as it''s you. I love you." Then she added, "But I must contest¡­ Your massage techniques should not be called magic touch¡­ but a pervy touch¡­" Xander grinned and sealed his wife''s lips once more before he said, "I''ll regularly give you those pervy touches using both my mouth and hands for free¡­ How about that darling?" Yera chuckled as her cheeks turned rosy pink. Only her husband could make her blush hard like that and she loved it. Only he could make her turned mushy and she was glad and grateful it was Xander. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

AGE UNDER 18 DON''T DARE TO UNLOCK THIS CHAPTER] The sun was already up and its rays were shining brightly, penetrating through the curtains of the window of Yera''s room brightening the peaceful room just a little, to make its presence felt, as two bodies cuddled together, entangled in each other''s embrace, in deep sleep. Xander woke up first and saw the beautiful face of his wife resting on his chest. It felt so serene, to sleep every night looking at the beautiful face of his wife and waking up each morning to see her gorgeousness once more, wrapped in his strong arms, resting beside him. He gently kissed her, after staring at her adoringly for quite some time. Then he quietly moved away from her, took away his arms from under her, very careful not to wake her up, to get up from the bed. He swiftly stepped out of the bed tucked her properly in the comforter and gave her another gentle kiss on her forehead before stepping out of the room. He went out and quickly prepared an easy dish for his wife because he knew his wife would be hungry when she wakes up, after the non-stop lovemaking sessions he gave her last night. He entered the room with a tray of food and kept it on the bed. Yera was still sleeping. Xander suddenly felt guilty. He failed to give her a thorough body massage last night to help her rest and relax, instead he had devoured her completely, till she begged him to let her sleep for some time. It was a good thing that it was Yera''s day-off because he was unable to control his desires last night and made love to her the whole night. Yera moved and gently opened her sluggish eyes. Her eyes met with the enchanting look of her Greek god like husband standing in front of her with his bare chest and nothing on his body except his boxers. His bangs all down on his forehead making him look a little unruly and more handsome, lovingly staring at her with a broad and bright smile on his face. Yera smiled back, she was blissful at the beautiful sight in the morning. Then she realized the sun was already high in the sky and she panicked and quickly sat on the bed bursting, "Oh! What time is it?" Xander laughed and held her arm seeing she was about to get up from the bed in a rush. "Darling relax. You don''t have work today. Did you forget that it''s sunday?" He reminded his wife with a grin. "Wait¡­yes, but I might have a scheduled surgery¡­" Yera murmured as she tried to recall her appointments because she did often accept surgeries at weekends or holidays upon patient''s request. "No¡­ You don''t have any." Xander firmly responded. Yera creased her forehead and suspiciously looked at her husband. With raised eyebrows she asked, " Are you stalking me darling? How come you know my schedule more than myself?" Xander grinned and did not respond since he was guilty as charged, instead he changed the topic by moving the bed tray of meals he prepared for Yera. "Eat first darling. Since it''s almost noon I have prepared a brunch kind of food." He whispered as he scooped a spoonful of soup and blew to cool it before feeding it to Yera. Yera no longer debated with her husband to not feed her because she knew it would be pointless besides she loved it, being earnestly pampered by her lovable husband. She smiled seeing the milk in the glass. It was warm to her liking with sugar added as she liked it. "Am I a baby?" She commented giggling. Xander handed her the glass and said, "yes you''re my baby darling. This is healthy for babies, so just drink. Having iced coffee too much is not good and you know that. Look at your eyebags¡­ Caffeine will not help you to have a good night''s sleep." Yera pursed her lips and drank all the milk in the glass in one breath as gestured by Xander. "Look at you¡­ what a baby¡­" Xander muttered. "Huh?" Yera looked at him confused. Xander removed the tray and bent towards her. "Smudging the milk all over your lips¡­" Xander murmured. Yera was about to lick the smudge with her tongue but her husband was very quick in doing the job using his own tongue, he gazed deep in her eyes, licking the milk on her lips that ended up in more than just licking. Yera could feel her body starting to tense up with Xander''s sensual kissing on her lips. She could feel her stomach turning upside down because of the excitement building up in her body. Xander had cleaned her up after their love making sessions before sleeping, letting her wear her nightgown yet without underwear beneath it. Thus, it was too easy for his hand to explore her body, specifically her sensitive spots. She gasped when she felt his hands cupping her breast, gently massaging it from the top of her nightgown. She could feel her husband''s igniting fire for her, due to the days he had been apart from her and missed her to his bones. "Hmm," she moaned when his hand reached her apex. He parted her legs as his fingers started tracing her flower between her thighs. He was checking her sleek folds, caressing it with his fingers, making her wet while his tongue kept probing deeper in her mouth, kissing her passionately. His fingers worked wonders playing with her knob then her inner cheeks while he gently slid one finger inside, pulling in and out slowly, making circles in her core inside, touching her sensitive spots in the depths, teasing her making her want for more¡­ "Stop that¡­" she complained as she arched her body to adjust with his fingers, for deeper penetration. "Do you want me darling, inside you? I want to hear it out¡­loud and clear," Xander whispered in her ear while he suddenly thrust two fingers deep inside then quickly pulled it. "Yes! I want you badly. Stop teasing me¡­" Yera pleaded with a stammering voice. The anticipation was killing her. She wanted him deep inside her. She could not wait anymore as she abruptly moved and positioned herself on Xander''s lap. She could feel his bulge and hardening member inside his boxer shorts. She let his member be released out of that hindrance as she lifted her buttocks up and guided his member''s tip on her opening, slowly sliding it inside of her. "Ahhhh¡­" she softly moaned, feeling him fuller inside of her. Xander pulled the spaghetti straps of her nightgown on her shoulders, letting it fall down making her breasts greet him in their full glory. Yera''s nipples were so hard, encouraging him to take a bite and so he did. Xander sucked her nipples and teased her by gently pulling it and biting it, making Yera moan hard with pleasure as she moved on top of him, back and forth and she even swirled like a smooth dancer, making her swift motions to drive Xander insane. The swift movements of his wife continued on his lap, milking him with her arousal as she buried herself deep in his arms, holding on his neck, nibbling on his skin, leaving her teeth marks here and there making him go crazy with her accelerated movements. Xander could feel her muscles grip hard on his member inside. He helped her by holding her from her back using his both hands, and meeting her rhythm as she arched with pleasure when he reached deep inside her. Xander caressed her back and bent a little to feed on her swollen breasts. Yera arched her body a little more and pumped deeper and faster on her husband''s member. Her body convulsed reaching her peak in unison with her husband as she felt his warm fluids spurting inside of her. She felt Xander hugged her tightly¡­ He was gasping for air as he jokingly said, "Darling you burned up all the calories you got from your brunch immediately¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

The guards still remembered him even the receptionist sitting on the information counter also gave him a welcoming smile. Dion winked at her as he passed by. He was known as a very friendly and approachable intern at Life Hospital, very unlike his true self, because he needed to befriend people and behave like an extrovert at that time for the sake of finding out more about Yera and her grandfather''s death. How he hoped this time around they would be fruitful in finding the truth. "Hey Doc! Welcome back!" Mumbled Nurse Park, coming close to Dion trying to get more intimate with him, while he was on his way to the Department of Surgery. Dion brightly smiled and commented, "It''s nice to see you again. You look pretty as always." He heard a forced coughing sound from behind but ignored that familiar sound. Nurse Park flushed and gave him a bashful smile. She again looked at him and winked and said, "You look handsome as ever Doc. I really missed you. I felt really happy when I heard that you are one of the doctors they are considering to appoint in our hospital. Hope you stay for good now." Another forced cough¡­ Dion winked at Nurse Park before he rolled his eyes as he turned around. "Doc excuse me, Chief Doctor Song is expecting you in her office first." Rizie said with a poker smile. Dion turned his head back to Nurse Park and said, "indeed it would be for good. See you around beautiful." Dion said in a seductive way making Nurse Park blush more and she was obviously squealing inside with his extravagant words and flirting. Rizie watched everything with her mouth agape and she felt as if her heart had been squeezed by someone. She was still not able to understand what happened to her. She wanted to fight Dion for his behaviour with other females but how could she actually do that? She was just a good friend to him ''Huh! Her Dr. Dee was anytime much better than this Ghost talker, he didn''t flirt like this hooligan was doing in Life Hospital!'' Dion then followed Rizie as the two headed to Yera''s office. "You sure look so happy and it seems you are very well accepted by everyone here, with their arms wide open especially females. You are like a popular playboy ¡­" Rizie commented, because she saw Dion from the first floor the moment he walked inside the hospital. She was actually waiting for him to greet him as soon as he entered the hospital but she was shocked by the way he was greeted by most of the staff that he probably knew during his internship. Since then she was wondering why there was such a stark difference in Dion''s behaviour! Then she sarcastically jested, "How about your ghost friends here? Do they also warmly welcome you back?" Dion grinned as he responded, "Yeah, actually I have one solid fan here who is now trying to pull your hair as we walk together¡­" Rizie''s eyes rounded in terror as she shook her head unconsciously while mumbling, "Shoohhh¡­" Dion laughed and walked past her. Rizie was one of a hell funny woman who he was not sure whether to categorize as a mature lady or a childish one because she acted like both sometimes. Rizie''s face puckered as she glared at Dion''s back. "You should be pulling that man''s hair instead. He is the one smiling widely left and right¡­ when did he even learn smiling and talking jolly like that?!" She exclaimed. She couldn''t believe how flirty Dion was a while ago! Her muscles relaxed as she.composed herself as soon as she realized that she was overreacting. Even talking to the ghost that was only a joke from Dion to piss her off. Yera only welcomed Dion and the two only casually talked like colleagues and mostly about work. Then Yera walked with him to the Department of Surgery so she could introduce Dion with the others. "Chief, we should at least celebrate. Ever since you arrived we did not have a proper gathering too to welcome you in the Department and now a lot more doctors have arrived to join us so I believe this calls for a celebration." Dr. Xiao excitedly suggested. "Alright then, let''s go out tonight. I''ll have my secretary arrange a place near the hospital so it will be easy to come and sneak some time for those who will be on duty tonight," Yera answered smilingly. "Yes!" The doctors inside the Department of Surgery answered in chorus. And so as soon as the dinner time arrived, everyone excitedly went into the venue. Rizie booked a private room for the group into a KTV bar and restaurant that was just a walking distance from the hospital. They used one of the largest VIP rooms that could accommodate their numbers. As the party started the door of the room opened and everyone was shocked to see the person who entered was their CEO Lyndon Chu. People were very surprised to see him in the party joining them because the latter rarely joined gatherings like that. Yera was surprised too and looked at Rizie who whispered, "Oh yeah he called just a while ago to check on your schedule and I told him we will have a celebration tonight. Also, I took the initiative to invite him ''cause it felt awkward not to ask him¡­" Yera understood and nodded. She smiled at Lyndon who entered the room and sat straight beside her. Yera could feel that she would soon be the central topic of gossip in the coming days in Life Hospital. Why? Because Lyndon was there and very clearly taking care of her even serving food on her plate and staring at her every now and then. She would not be surprised if Jam crash landed there any moment soon. "You know, for a while I felt like we returned back in time seeing CEO Chu together with Dr. Song¡­ Don''t get me wrong but sometimes I feel like she''s the reincarnation of Dr. Yera Han¡­" burst one of the doctors who had worked with Yera before, he was Dr. Qing, one of the seniors, and the one to talk endlessly whenever drunk. Everyone looked at Yera with conflicted expressions as they tried to stop Dr. Qing from talking more. Yera smiled and said, "Let him be¡­ That''s okay. I''m good. Let''s all enjoy¡­" Everyone nodded as some doctors sang at the KTV while others continued to drink. Yera received a message from Xander asking the time that their celebration would finish. Yera smiled and replied to him that she would come home soon. The celebration ended later than expected and everyone reluctantly bid their farewells. Lyndon offered Yera a ride back home but she refused. Lyndon escorted her out of the restaurant while Rizie and Dion were walking behind them. As they stepped out they saw a furious Jam tramping towards them. She looked hysterical as she walked straight to Yera. "You bitch! I told you to stay away from him!" Jam burst in her drunken state and was about to slap her. But Lyndon covered her with his body, almost hugging her. "Take your hands off her!" A familiar voice roared in the midst of the scene. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Dion and Rizie were caught off guard too and they quickly went to the side of Jam to calm the latter because she was hysterical and was reeking of alcohol. "This is not good," Dion muttered to Rizie. The two had never seen Xander''s face darkened like that before. He looked around and sighed seeing no one was around yet. Yera on the other hand gently pushed Lyndon so she could get out from his embrace but Lyndon did not move an inch, he was firmly holding her as if protecting her fully. Yera cursed inside because she could feel the tension rising between the two men and she was getting worried about what her husband would do at that moment. "Let me go CEO Chu, I can''t breath" she lied and Lyndon quickly released her but he did not let go of her arm. That time, Xander gritted his teeth and grabbed Year''s other arm. "Let go of her," Xander instructed firmly, eyes intensely looking at Lyndon. Lyndon furrowed and said, ''Why should I?" This was not the first time he had met Xander Yang and he did not like him at all, not from the start. He was such an arrogant person, womaniser! Yera tried to pull her arm away from Lyndon but Lyndon''s grip was too tight. Xander''s facial muscles flinched, he was too close to erupting like an active volcano in fury. "This is the last time I will say this, let go of my woman''s arm!" Xander exclaimed. Lyndon seemed to be caught off guard by those words as his grip at Yera''s arm loosened. Yera took the opportunity to pull her arm from him and she pushed Xander to walk away a little from Lyndon. She apologized to Lyndon saying, "I''m sorry about this CEO Chu. I will explain things later. CEO Yang looks heavily drunk right now, let me take care of him first." "Drunk? Who? Me?" Xander complained in disbelief as Yera quickly pulled him away from the group. "Stop it CEO Yang or else I will be left with no other choice but to tell all this to Senior Yang. What made you to come here and make a fuss like that! Let me help you and drive you back to Yang Globals," Yera loudly scolded. Rizie got the grasp of the situation and explained, "Oh don''t worry CEO Chu¡­ Dr. Song will be fine. CEO Yang was actually disheartened by the fact that their best surgeon joined Life Hospital and left Yang Globals during its hard times. To be honest, I understand him because many well known and good doctors actually left Yang Globals after the bombing incident." Lyndon creased his forehead and muttered, "But¡­ I heard him. He said my woman." Rizie laughed out loud and defensively said, "Nah, everyone who wear skirts in Yang global is CEO Yang''s woman. Besides, Dr. Song is the apple of his eyes lately¡­" Lyndon seemed not convinced as he stared at Yera holding Xander, and was about to go inside Xander''s car. "I can''t let her drive him back¡­" he murmured as he started to rush and was about to follow Yera but Rizie stopped him. "Let''s not make a scene here Sir¡­" Rizie mumbled as she pointed at the other doctors who were now going out from the restaurant. "Trust me Dr. Song can handle him since they quite know each other well. She knows what to do with the drunk CEO Yang. This is not the first time something like this had happened. I told you Dr. Song is the apple of his eyes¡­" Rizie tried to convince him but Lyndon still contemplated and walked forward. "CEO Chu, I think you should look after your fiance first¡­" burst Dion on the other side. Lyndon turned at him and saw Jam lying unconscious in his arm. Lyndon cursed and gritted his teeth irritably. He turned his head back at Yera but she was already gone as he saw Xander''s car moving away with Yera on the driver''s seat. He looked back at Jam with a conflicted look. He was feeling frustrated at that time. He drew a long deep breath before walking towards Dion who was holding Jam. "Give her to me¡­" he blankly muttered and carried the unconscious Jam into his car. Inside his car Lyndon relaxed his body on the backrest and looked blankly at the front. He was starting to get worried about what he was feeling. He knew Dr. Song was a different person and not Yera but why he could not get her out of his mind. He was not pleased to see her going into another man''s car. Could it be because she looked like Yera or did he like Dr. Song as she was? It was too early to tell but the fact was that he wanted to get closer with her. That was the main purpose he used all means and used all his power to get Dr. Deyna Song in his hospital, under his wings, so it would be easier to get near and close to her. "You''re so mean Lyndon Chu!!! Why are you doing this to me!!! I hate that I love you too much!!!" Jam exclaimed in her stuttering voice, as if she was dreaming, with her eyes still closed. Lyndon looked at her, he saw tears rolling from the sides of her eyes. "I told you not to love me Jam. You loved the wrong person. You should learn to love yourself first¡­" Lyndon murmured with empathy. He felt pity for Jam but he believed he was not the one to be blamed because he had been honest to Jam about his feelings from the very start. No matter what, he just couldn''t bring himself to love Jam back the way she loved him. And now, she has even started blackmailing him just to have him stay by her side. Lyndon cursed. He did not want to cause any more trouble, as much as possible¡­ One mistake was enough but if Jam continued with her craziness¡­ Lyndon released a loud exhaled of frustration. Things were getting complicated and not going as he had expected because of Jam''s intervention. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Yera burst on Xander while driving as soon as they hit the road. Xander was in the passenger''s seat as she drove his car. "Stop the car on the side and let me drive," Xander instructed, ignoring Yera''s question. He was supposed to wait for his wife at her condo but the boredom almost killed him so he went out to pick her up instead. He was about to message her that he would wait for her in the parking area near the restaurant when he saw Yera step out from the restaurant together with Lyndon. Xander had really tried his best to control his urge to get out of his car, but when he saw Jam on the sidewalk rushing towards his wife, he immediately rushed out of his car to save his darling. However, on reaching close to her, he was so shocked to witness that bastard hugging his wife. He gasped out of irritation as he recalled that horrible scene in his head. He did not mind being the most possessive and childish husband but he couldn''t see any other man touching his wife. He was really irritated and annoyed when he saw that and to top it all, the looks Lyndon gave him when he spoke at that time were as if he was a stalker! ''How dare that bastard look at me like he was the husband and I''m a stalker?'' he mused, still annoyed. Yera did not know what to say anymore. Obviously her husband was annoyed and was trying his best to hide it. He exasperatedly looked at her and said, "Darling, why are you not pulling the car at the side? Let me drive the car now." She looked askance at him, pursed her lips and pulled the car at the side of the road. She quietly stepped out and exchanged seats with Xander. She did understand Xander''s feelings about everything, but he acted recklessly making such bold moves like that in front of everyone. She was quietly thinking of various believable alibis to say to Lyndon the next day to not make him not doubt her and her motives, when her mobile phone beeped. It was Rizie saying she managed the situation and told about the alibi she said to Lyndon. Xander''s eyes on the other hand sneakily glanced at Yera who was typing on her mobile. He wondered who Yera was messaging. ''Is she texting that bastard now?'' Yera caught him red handed and said, "It''s Rizie¡­" Then she relayed Rizie''s message. "It all sounds as if I''m a stalker," he mumbled with pursed lips, not pleased at all with the absurd alibi Rizie had given. Yera''s brows arched and said, "Well a part of it is true. You did stalk me and pursue me¡­" Xander was too guilty to find any words to say. All he could utter was, "I''m sorry darling." He dared not promise her or say a thing to her that he could not commit to, about not repeating the same mistake because he knew if he happened to encounter this situation he would do the same thing all over again! He heard Yera released a long deep sigh before saying, "You almost blew up everything tonight. At this point in time, we should not let our emotions take over. You do know you did wrong, right? So don''t you dare touch me tonight or you''re dead." Xander gulped with the expressionless, blank face of his dear darling wife. It had been long since he saw those serious expressions on his wife''s beautiful face. The couple arrived at Yera''s condo unit without talking at all. They were both on the bed at that time to sleep but Yera put a pillow in between and the only words came out of her mouth was for him not to cross the pillow that served as a line. Xander would die of silence and longing. Waiting for a night was too torturing for the mere fact that his wife was just two feet away. He was itching to throw the pillow away and pounce on her and lock her in his arms but then he had to control because he did commit a grave mistake back then. ¡­.. Yera woke up early and saw her husband sleeping soundly. She smiled seeing the pillow was still in its place. Her possessive husband behaved well. She gently removed the pillow, moved closer to him and looked closely at her husband''s dashing face. He was breathing heavily. She moved closer to him, hugging him tightly. "Just wait a bit more¡­ Somehow I can''t proudly show you off to the whole world just how you wanted it to be darling. I am really sorry about this too¡­" mumbled Yera as she looked intently at her husband who seemed to be in a very deep sleep. She smiled because he didn''t move an inch even after she kissed him. She looked at the wall clock and it was already five in the morning. She quietly rose from the bed, making sure her husband would not wake up. She immediately prepared to go to work¡­ A few more minutes and she was ready to leave. She looked at Xander one last time to give him a kiss and her dear husband was still sleeping soundly. So she thought to send him a message later¡­ She was already on her door outside when her mobile phone rang. It was Rizie who wanted to meet her to talk before going to the hospital. Rizie actually offered her a big help and they were into things together without Xander knowing. Her husband was too protective of her so there were certain things she wanted to hide from him. Yera''s heartbeat thumped hard. Rizie''s voice was serious¡­ She briskly walked to head at their meeting place for a casual breakfast to others but was a serious discussion for their plans, plans to unveil the culprit, not yet known by Xander and his team and completely conceived by these two. Yet more accomplices might be needed to execute the plan as they progressed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

The next morning, Xander woke up alone on the bed. He pouted his lips feeling sad that his wife did not even wake him up. His wife seemed to have left very early, without even noticing his heavy eye bags underneath his eyes. She sure wanted to teach him a lesson by ignoring him the whole night. He was sleepless the whole night and if he could remember correctly the aloof sleep finally visited him only after three in the morning, so he was as good as dead when Yera woke up, got ready and left for work, he had actually slept heavily and woke up late. He grabbed his mobile phone to check if his angry cat had left him any message or was she too angry to even leave him a message? Xander was relieved to find her name in the unread messages and he quickly read the message his wife left for him. [I left early. Breakfast is on the table just reheat it before eating. I will be very busy today so I might not be able to answer calls or messages. You behaved really well last night¡­ applause for your obedient behaviour. For now, it''s only one night but darling if you mess up once more, it won''t be just a night¡­ Don''t skip your meals¡­ I love you¡­ I really do] Xander''s heart beat almost stopped with that threat of hers. How could his wife threaten him like that? He almost cried out in protest. He would soon be admitted in that hospital, so did she expect him to just watch the game while that Lyndon made a move on his darling. ''No way! Over my dead body!'' His stomach was grumbling because of hunger but he had lost his appetite recalling the arrogant Lyndon''s protective expression toward his wife. "So annoying!" he growled as he stood up from the bed to check the meal his beautiful wife had prepared. Xander then visited his father that day to spend some time with him. "Son¡­ I know I''ve been bugging you for quite some time now, But how come you are not productive enough? It''s been months already and until now I haven''t heard any good news from you both." Complained Senior Yang to his son while playing chess in their garden. Xander sighed hard if only his father knew how hard he was working to fulfil his request. He himself was frustrated too because until now his wife was still not pregnant. His father was about to play his move when his hand paused in the air and he pensively looked at his son. "Hold on¡­ Are you sure you are doing things correctly?" Asked his father with a creased forehead. ''Dad what do you think of me? Me? Did not know how to do it right?'' Xander was baffled by what he heard from his father! He wanted to voice out some hard words and defend himself. Senior Yang understood his expression though he did not say a word. "What are you thinking, fool? I''m just referring to her fertile days! You should make sure to do it while your wife is fertile!" Senior Yang bluntly blurted out. Xander pursed his lips because he had never thought of that at all, though he did it to her as many times as he could, and whenever he got his chance with Yera because he couldn''t help himself to stop from making love to his beautiful wife, and her fertile days had never once crossed his mind during their intimate moments. How could he miss such important detail as this? He didn''t even know when was Yera''s menstrual cycle. Could it be that he missed doing it when his wife was fertile. Seeing his son in deep thought, Senior Yang shook his head in disappointment. "Checkmate!" Senior Yang exclaimed¡­ Xander pouted his lips seeing the look of his father towards him. "Make every move properly son. See I won and you lost in this game¡­ Accompany me to the opera tonight." Reminded Senior Yang as the condition once he won. Xander always invented some alibis to skip watching operas with him because he always fell asleep whenever he went with his father. Not because the opera was not good, it was because those kinds of shows made him fall asleep, it was like a lullaby to him he guessed. "Why don''t you bring Yera with you?" Senior yang suggested, hoping his daughter-in-law would enjoy such a show unlike his sleepyhead son. Xander''s face lit and said, "Hmmm, that''s a great idea dad. You should call her now and ask her to come over. Oh wait, she might reject since many elites attend these operas and there is fear of being recognized by someone there.." Senior Yang''s lps twitched and said, "She can wear a mask like before. Those actresses and actors do the same thing so they won''t be recognized. You dummy¡­ We always do that while playing golf. Remember they thought you''re dating a celebrity? Let''s have her wear a wig also this time." Xander''s mouth opened while looking at the excited face of his father. "You should call her now because you know how packed her schedule is." "Hold on, why am I the one you''re instructing to, to give a call to your wife? She''s your wife,why don''t you do it yourself?" countered Senior Yang. "Nah, you do it dad if you really want her to come because if you''re the one to call her, I''m sure she won''t refuse you anytime." Xander casually replied. "Did you two have an argument?" Senior Yang asked with an arched brow. Looking at his son''s reaction hearing his question, was enough to know the answer. He disappointingly clicked his tongue and commented, "If you continue like that, I might have to wait for a lifetime for my request to be granted." "Geez. Why are you so impatient dad? Yera is very busy at this moment and I''m not even sure if it''s a good time to have a baby to be honest. She''s working like a cow and it might not be good for the baby''s health, not to forget the danger she may be in while finding her culprits." Xander commented. It was true that he himself was dying to get his wife pregnant but on the contrary, he was worrying too. Senior Yang sighed and in a disheartened voice he said, "Alright I will stop for now and give you a rest son¡­" Xander gulped seeing that downcast look of his father. He had never seen him so eager for such a simple request. Maybe his father really wished to have a grandchild soon but the circumstances were a bit off. "Dad, don''t be sad. I''m really trying my very best to make it happen really soon. So please be a bit more patient." he encouraged his father with a broad smile and a wink. "So now help your son and call your daughter-in-law. We just have had a very tiny quarrell so it''s better you call her now."

She had been sighing several times already while looking at the screen showing the other side of the room to monitor the surgery done by one of their surgeons, Dion. She was accompanied by other surgeons and interns in the room who occasionally gulped when she sighed. Then they would look at the ongoing procedure, trying to figure out if the doctor in the other room was performing things right or wrong and of anything is making their Chief Doctor dissatisfied. Dr. Moore was one of the surgeons in the room who had the courage to ask, "Chief, you''ve been sighing quite a lot so we are wondering if it is about the ongoing surgery?" Yera flinched and shook her head and looked at the screen intently. Dion was performing craniotomy. "Watch carefully how he does it." she muttered. Dion was operating to remove the brain tumor of the patient, and he was doing a good job. It was his first time doing independent surgery after assisting her several times and she was proud of how well he had learnt in a very short span of time that they had been working together at Yang Globals. She was sighing because of the plan she and Rizie had decided to execute. It actually sounded very absurd but might be very effective according to Rizie. And they would need Dion''s help in this matter. Rizie said that she would take care of Dion and how to brief him. Rizie even vouched for Dion that they could trust him. Though deep inside Yera''s heart she did have that unexplainable feeling or bonding towards Dion. Maybe because Dion looked so much like her father especially when he smiled. And she did trust him too apart from everything else. Rizie had suggested that the ghost of Yera should linger inside Life Hospital and haunt everyone. So in short, they would orchestrate a play, she playing the main role as the ghost of course. But it would not be just a simple play because they needed to make things believable to everyone. She would prefer to hide the plan from Xander because Xander was too over protective over her and she was sure he would refuse to get her involved in things that might take her safety at risks. Right now every day was crucial. She wanted to do any possible thing to capture the culprit as early as possible. If they found out that she was married to Xander, it would be inevitable that she would be kicked out of the Life Hospital. Her shares right now were not enough to maintain her stability in the Life hospital. She had also hid this plan from Ralf because although she knew Ralf would follow her orders but she was also sure that in the end he would still sell her to Xander and follow his instructions. She wondered how Dion would react on hearing the whole plan. She could only hope that he would help in this matter because he was well known everywhere as someone who could see paranormal things so people would easily believe his words based on his character and like the kind of person people knew him to be. Her thoughts were interrupted by the continuous vibration of her mobile phone in her lab gown pocket. She picked it out from her pocket and quickly excused herself to go outside the viewing room to answer it. It was her father-in-law on the other line requesting her to come and accompany him to the opera along with Xander. She looked around and when she confirmed the area was safe she was about to say her concern to be seen but her father-in-law already told her what to do. The phone conversation ended with Yera crumpling her face. Who on earth would want to watch an opera with a mask on her face and with a disguise? She herself was not comfortable going out often like that whenever she was with Xander and her father-in-law but she had no choice. Beside everything, she loved to go out with her father-in-law and Xander. Yera was out early and told Rizie where she was going. She immediately got ready with her disguise and sighed at her own reflection in the mirror. She wore one of her wig with short raven hair with a blue contact lense, hiding her brown eyes. Then the final touch would be her face mask. Her appearance was stunning enough for her to look like a celebrity with her sexy fitted off shoulder casual dress. As soon as she received Ralf''s message that everything was cleared with the security and cameras, she immediately went down to the parking lot where Xander''s car waited. Inside the opera house, Yera smiled. It had been a long time since she had stepped inside to watch a spectacular show. They walked inside the VIP area and she was not surprised to see her Aunt Juliet and Uncle Roy inside, chatting with others and having a drink while the show had not started yet. Her father-in-law, Xander and herself were greeted by her aunt Juliet who was good with public relations. She wondered if it was a fake smile on her face or real though. Her aunt paused, looking at her directly with a smile and said, "Seems like your son brought a celebrity with him, Senior Yang. Hello dear¡­" Yera gave her a smile that could be seen from her eyes as she slightly nodded. Her aunt stared at her for quite some time before saying, "Hmm, somehow you look familiar. Dear this is the VIP area and I think everyone in here is too old to spread any kind of gossip. This mask must be very uncomfortable to wear for so long. Why not remove it?" Aunt Juliet sounded genuine with her smiling eyes and lips as she gave her a wink. It was true that her aunt Juliet was not the type who would do that nor others she saw inside the VIP area since they were all prominent people who would not care about who was dating who. Those people would only care about profits. Yera gulped because once she spoke, her aunt Juliet might recognize her voice. Aunt Juliet creased her forehead and seemed to be not pleased with her silence. "Oh Madam Go, my girlfriend is afraid to remove the mask because I will end up kissing her throughout the whole night instead of watching the opera," Xander quickly interrupted in a jest. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She saw the hesitation on Dion''s face so she said, "Hey, why do you have that ''I''m not sure sure look''? Dion shook his head and replied, "Well the idea is not bad at all, and I think it will be effective if we create a hype like that. It''s just that the idea of hiding this thing from Xander is something I''m hesitating about. You know how possessively that dude protects my sister. I mean he might not like it when he finds out about it." "Precisely! That''s the reason why this plan should not reach him. He will be jeopardizing everything without even him knowing. It has been a while now and there''s no progress at all with their so-called investigation. We need to try another way Dion..." Rizie justified as she drank her soda. Dion sighed. Rizie did not know that Xander would have himself get admitted at Life Hospital soon so eventually Xander would eventually have a gist of their plan. He could not tell this to Rizie since he had promised to keep his mouth shut about it. Besides, Rizie was a blabbermouth who would for sure tell Yera about everything. He creased his forehead when he noticed Rizie''s face twitched and soured as if she had seen something gross or unpleasant. ''What happened to her?'' he mused as he turned his head to look at the door where her eyes were glued. It was nurse Park who instantly saw him so Dion unconsciously smiled and waved back at her. "Stop waving at her ! Are you calling her to our table?" Rizie burst in disbelief. "Yeah, that way our being friends would be less suspicious for everyone right. Let''s be more friendly to others also Rizie¡­" Dion simply answered as he continued to wave at nurse Park and signaling her to sit on their table. The nurse on the other hand, excitedly walked to their direction. "You womanizer poker man!" Rizie quickly blabbered before the nurse got near them. "Stop being childish. Why are you overreacting? Don''t tell me you''re jealous of her fancying me? Don''t forget that you''re the one who said that we should maintain our relationship purely as friends only so that''s what I''m doing as you instructed." Dion said in his serious tone and voice. Before Rizie could say her piece, nurse Park was already before them. "Hello Doc!" she said smiling at Dion before turning her gaze at Rizie to give her a nice friendly smile too. "Oh, Jane this is Rizie." Dion introduced. "Oh yeah, she''s Chief Doctor Song''s secretary. Nice to meet you. I''m Jane Park, I''m usually assigned to in-patients at the VIP rooms." said Jane smiling. Rizie sighed before she faked a smile and accepted Jane''s hand for a handshake. Though the woman seemed nice, Rizie felt a bad vibe from her somehow. That was why she did not want to have dinner anywhere near Life hospital but Dion insisted that they go to that restaurant saying that employees of Life hospital should get used to seeing the two of them together. "Join us, we''re just starting to eat dinner. By the way, please feel comfortable with Rizie like me. The two of us actually became good friends while we were at Yang Globals. You will like her I''m sure." Dion exaggeratedly said, obviously adding more salts on Rizie''s mood. Rizoe made another poker smile and whispered, "Yeah, he''s so right. You know I''m the only one who can understand his creepiness with all those ghosts that he keeps seeing as you can imagine." Jane laughed and said, "Oh yeah right I almost forgot that Doc has a third eye. I wonder if he is seeing more here or at Yang Globals." Dion pouted his lips and directly looked at Jane''s eyes that almost made Rizie''s eyes pop out in irritation. ''What a jerk! How dare he flirt like this in front of me?!'' she annoyingly complained inside. Then she heard Dion speak in his husky and serious voice, "To be honest, I see one ghost lingering around the area but I''m hesitant to say." "Huh? Do we know it? I mean how does that ghost look like? Like someone we know?" Jane asked, feeling the chills run down her spine. Dion nodded and murmured, "It''s Dr. Yera Han." Jane''s eyebrows knitted then followed was a crisped laugh. She even hit Dion on his shoulders saying, "Doc! Are you kidding me? I mean is that a joke then later you will tell me, ''Got you - it''s Dr. Deyna Song, you dumbass!''? Rizie''s face twisted while she whispered, "That''s not even funny. Why are you laughing?" Dion gulped, grateful that Jane seemed not to mind Rizie''s scornful words. Dion deliberately exhaled loudly and said, "I''m not joking Jane. Really, I saw her down the hallway at wing C near the VIP rooms. I mean If I''m not mistaken, her grandfather died there right? Aren''t you one of the nurses in charge during that time?" Rizie''s face suddenly got serious when she noticed Jane''s face paled. Obviously, the woman seemed to know something. She also played along with Dion and added more to the drama with her words. "Oh so maybe that''s why that Yera is haunting that area now? I never saw her but I heard she looked like our Dr. Song a lot. Hmmm, this is exciting. I''m not afraid of ghosts but it''s still creepy to know about someone we knew¡­" Rizie seconded. "Oh Jane, tour me around the VIP rooms sometimes. I''ve never been in that area to be honest." Rizie cheerfully commented this time and even waved at Jane who was seated in front of her to get back her attention. "Oh sorry. Yeah of course, tell me when then I''ll tour you at our wing¡­" Jane said and tried her best to smile despite the obvious trembling of her lips. Rizie smiled with an arched brow as ideas flooded inside her head. She would surely enjoy the likes of nurse Jane Park go hunted to the core. ''Let''s see if you can still smile sweetly,'' she mused, full of bitterness. Little that Rizie knew that Dion was observing her every move that was making him confused because if he would analyze how Rizie was reacting, there was only one conclusion. Rizie was jealous but he was not sure whether that jealousy was because of tight friendship or more than that? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

She looked at her aunt who obviously forced a smile out of her prim and proper personality. But Yera knew her aunt did not seem to be pleased even a bit with Xander''s joke. But thankfully that made her aunt Juliet stop giving her too much attention. During the opera she could feel a pair of eyes constantly digging into her, when she looked around to confirm her suspicion true enough it seemed that her aunt Juliet was sneaking glances in their area often as their eyes occasionally met. "She''s curious about you I think. Oh haven''t I told you that she tried to set me up on a blind date with her daughter¡­" Xander whispered in her ear. Yera flinched because Xander bit her earlobe, sending chills running down her body. She creased her forehead and said in a raspy voice, "I did hear about it. To be honest, I strongly objected to that idea because you were so well known as a womanizer then that I didn''t want her to be wronged. Though I don''t have a good relationship with Jam, I did care for her." Xander gulped and countered, "I told you¡­" "Shhh darling. Let''s talk about it later." Yera interrupted because her husband was distracting her concentration on the show by trying to be flirty. He held and caressed her hand then would write something on her palm with his fingers. If her guess was right, he wrote ''I miss you'' and ''I love you''. She chuckled silently because her dear husband looked so bored that he would rest his head on her shoulder to nap but she would intentionally shake her shoulder whenever to wake him up. "This is not our bedroom and definitely not a place to sleep¡­" she murmured, scolding her husband for sneaking a sleep. The show ended well and the performers gained a standing ovation from the audience. Yera did enjoy the opera too and she had a pleasant conversation about it with her father-in-law. "I can see that you might finally get a daughter-in-law after a long line up to select by your son." Yera''s uncle commented in a jest as he walked past them. Senior Yang laughed but did not say a word and just exchanged a farewell nod with Yera''s uncle Roy. Yera nodded too and gave them a cheerful smile including her eyes. "You look somewhat familiar," her uncle Juliet commented. "I doubt it Madam Go because my girlfriend''s eyes are very unique and the prettiest among all." Xander commented followed by a loving touch on Yera''s cheek. Madame Juliet Go stared at Yera closely but Xander covered her and mumbled, "Darling, let''s remove the mask and let me kiss you." Senior Yang coughed and said, "Enough with that Xander and let''s go home. I''m sure your partner is already tired too so I suggest you yourself drop her off first¡­" That instant Xander said goodbye to Madame Go and her husband then immediately pulled Yera out from the place. Inside the car, Xander''s mobile phone rang. It was Ralf and he put him on speaker phone. "Sir, a black car is tailing you." reported Ralf. Yera looked at the back and only noticed the black car Ralf was referring too. "What''s your location?" asked Xander in his serious tone. Ralf answered the locations of their men with the same car type and color that was not far from Xander''s car. "Alright, move in and make sure we must lose them¡­" Xander instructed. Meanwhile, the men inside the car following Xander got confused seeing many red cars suddenly appearing on the road with the same car type as to what they are following. "Fu*ck what''s this? Where''s the car? They are changing lanes so fast. How about the plate number? Follow the plate number!" complained the man inside the black car as he shouted to their driver. "Make sure you won''t lose the damn car or we''re dead! We need to know who the woman he is with so we need to find that woman''s location!" "Boss, it''s confusing¡­. What''s with those cars appearing so suddenly and changing lanes quickly. I forgot to check the plate number Boss except that the last number ends in 0." said the man who was driving the black car. "Dumb*ass! Then follow the one with 0!!!" shouted the man who was the leader of the group inside the black car. The man who was driving noticed that there were two red cars with plate numbers ending in 0. He scratched his head and followed the car in his right instead. Meanwhile, Yera looked at the back and said, "I think we already lost them." The black car was already gone. "Ralf, are you sure we''re clear?" Xander asked on the other line. "Yes Sir, you''re clear. They are now following team D. The car will stop at Madame Bri''s building as you instructed." said Ralf before Xander ended the connection.. "Bri''s?" Yera burst out with wide eyes directly at Xander. "Oh yeah Brione. I forgot to mention that we actually are good friends. She said I can ask her anything especially when I need help like this¡­" Xander casually explained. "What? But how come I did not see you visit her even once after her surgery? And you never mentioned that you two are close¡­" Yera murmured a bit confused. Brione was a superstar and close to Xander without her knowing? The two of them even could team up anytime they want, like this? She heard Xander chuckled and jokingly said, "Are you perhaps jealous? Hmmm, maybe I should keep my relationship with Brione a mystery so you will keep feeling jealous whenever you hear about her." "That''s not funny at all." Yera mumbled with her blank expression. Xander pouted his lips and ended up telling the story behind him and Brione. "So basically we are partners in crime. I''m indebted to her and she''s indebted to me¡­ Right now, whoever it was who followed me would think that I''m dating Brione and she is the one I''m with tonight. It''s our scapegoat and Brione agreed with me. So she also knew it was you I''m protecting and she owed you her life too¡­" "So don''t be jealous¡­" Xander said while driving. He was grinning widely. "I don''t get jealous." Yera firmly defended. Xander did not respond but continued to chuckle and Yera heard it so she repeated, "I said I don''t get jealous that easily. I''m not that childish¡­" Xander gulped because he felt that Yera put a particular tone in the word ''childish''. "Alright you''re not jealous darling." he mumbled with pouted and twitched lips. Yera smiled secretly. She loved it whenever her husband would often let things pass and gave way for her on small petty things like this. She would reward him later... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

They had a very intense evening where she generously pleased her husband on their bed. "Hmm, it''s still early," Xander sluggishly complained when he felt Yera removing his arms on hers to get up. Instead he snuggled her face on her neck, smelling her scent. "Hmm, darling, let go. I have an important scheduled surgery at around four in the morning. Sleep more. I will be home early today I promise. " Yera explained and gave her husband a peck on his lips. "Darling, you''re working so hard. You should have your body being checked regularly." Xander murmured. Yera creased her forehead and said, "Haven''t you checked it enough?" Xander chuckled and said, "Darling I''m talking about health. I will let you go for now but make sure you''ll have enough time to be free later to have a thorough check-up for the two of us. You know how persistent my dad is. He is very worried about your health and wants to make sure that you don''t forget about yourself¡­" "Alright, let''s do it later. I will call you as soon as I''m available." Yera responded and quickly went out of the bed as soon as Xander let loose on his hug at her. ......¡­. 3:00 Am at Life Hospital Two nurses made their rounds at the VIP rooms when the lights on the hallway at wing C suddenly went off. "Geez! What''s wrong with the lights?" murmured one of the nurses named Carla. Then she heard some weird screeching noise. The other nurse named Ria quickly grabbed her mobile phone to turn on the flashlight in it. "Do you hear that?" Carla mumbled. She could feel goosebumps all over her body. She was a newly hired nurse and it was the first time she experienced something creepy like this. Ria on the other hand looked in her wrist watch and intentionally said, "It''s four in the morning on my phone. Maybe there''s just a problem with the switch or bulbs? Let''s go back..." "It''s already four? Time passes by quickly. Yeah let''s head back to the station. But don''t you hear it?" Carla murmured. "Hear what?" Ria nonchalantly replied. Then she added, "I heard nothing. Anyway, let''s head back and ask an engineer. I think the lights need repairing." The lights blinked on and off that made the hallway look more eerie. The two continued to walk but Carla saw a woman in white that made her suddenly pause. "Excuse me¡­" Carla asked, thinking it was one of the patients. "Hey, who are you calling?" Ria asked with a confused face. "Can''t you see her? The woman in white?" Carla burst and even pointed her finger towards the woman walking slowly not far from them. "Stop that. Don''t scare me like that. It''s the lights¡­ I see nothing at all. You''re probably just hallucinating without sleep yet. It''s past four o''clock¡­" Ria reiterated. Carla gulped feeling the abnormalities in the atmosphere. How come she was the only one who could see it? Was it a ghost? The woman in white paused and turned her head towards their direction then she glared at Carla. "Is that Dr. Song?!" Carla burst with hesitation. She could clearly see the woman''s face. It was Dr Song! "Dr, Song? Where?" Ria asked and looked in the direction. Ria even stepped forward but Carla grabbed her. Carla was trying hard to calm herself despite the fact that her body was already trembling in fear since she was the only one seeing it. "She looks like Dr. Song but she seems like not her. She''s a ghost¡­" Carla nervously mumbled. Ria laughed and said, "Stop that Carla. Dr. Song is not there. And the only person who only looks like Dr. Song is the deceased Dr. Yera Han. Don''t tell me her ghost is haunting you right now? Don''t be silly!" "Dr. Yera Han?!" muttered Carla in fear. That time, her body froze because the woman in white was heading their way. She was walking slowly towards them with her eyes still glaring at Carla. "Oh my God Ria! What should we do?" Carla was almost crying with fear. She really hated petrifying things like this! Ria on the other hand, waited a bit more before she grabbed Carla''s hand. "Let''s go back Carla and stop that nonsense." Ria convinced and stepped forward trying to pull Carla to walk with her but Carla did not move an each and even closed her eyes hard. She was too afraid to open her eyes because she was the only one seeing the woman in white. If Ria was right, it was definitely the ghost of that Yera Han because why would Dr. Song wore a creepy outfit like that besides Ria could not see her too. When Carla opened her eyes back, the woman in white who had the same face of Dr. Song was finally gone. Ria walked and Carla clasped her arms on her tightly. As soon as they were back at the nurse station, Carla told everyone what had happened. "That''s her!!!" Carla blurted out when other employees showed her the photos of the deceased former CEO of Life Hospital, Dr. Yera Han on the internet. "Are you sure? Because this is the first time. I mean Dr. Han''s ghost haunting the hospital? Why here? She absolutely did not die here." commented one of the nurses. "Her grandfather died here though. Who knows? She might be harboring some grudge?" commented one of the resident doctor on duty "Why only now? I''ve been in this hospital for years and there''s no case like this at all." commented one of the senior nurses and looked suspiciously at Carla. Carla pouted her lips and mumbled, "How I hope I was not the one who saw that freaking woman! Don''t you dare imply that I''m only inventing things because I''m not!" No one dared to comment anymore seeing the emotions in Carla''s face. The fear was obviously there and Carla was almost tearing. As expected the thing about Dr. Yera Han haunting the hospital circulated fast inside Life Hospital. It brought a hype though some treated it as a joke saying it was probably only Dr. Deyna Song but apparently, Dr. Deyna Song was doing her surgery at four in the morning inside the operating room together with other doctors and nurses. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Dr. Xiao murmured to Dion. He sighed and simply nodded. Ria was one of his trusted allies inside Life Hospital and she was also a part of their play a while ago. The cctv footage was already checked and cleared by one of his men who was good at hacking. Though the first stage went on smoothly, he was still feeling reluctant. They needed to choose the patients and employees carefully, to make Yera appear in front of them, because even one mistake from their side could spill out everything in front of enemies. Their main targets were Roy Go and his family, Lyndon and the nurse Jane, who were directly involved during the hospitalization of Yera''s grandfather. Everyone else were the main suspects of Yera''s abduction except for nurse Jane. Dion did not say a word and kept his eyes fixed on the ct scan result of one of his patients. Dr. Xiao was still engrossed in the story of the morning incident and elbowed him. "I''ve been in this hospital for years. Well, it''s normal to hear incidents such as ghosts in here but it''s the first time I heard that the spirit of any deceased owner of this hospital is roaming around here and haunting their own hospital. I wonder if Old Master Han will also haunt the hospital soon. Isn''t it funny? I mean we have Dr. Deyna Song, who they said looks exactly like Dr. Yera Han, and now we have the ghost of Yera Han." Dr. Xiao commented. "Maybe it''s Dr. Song that the nurse saw," Dion nonchalantly said. "Hey, you and I were both with Dr. Song at that hour. Nurse Carla said that the incident happened around four in the morning and we were already inside the operating room during that time with Dr. Song." Dr. Xiao insisted. Dr. Qing who was also inside the room at the Department of Surgery and was only listening suddenly interrupted, "Dr. Chen, you are famous to have that third eye right? I will only believe in those stories if Dr. Chen saw Dr. Yera Han''s ghost himself¡­ Right now, I think that the nurse from the VIP ward is just hallucinating or probably lethargic at that time.." "Oh yeah right I almost forgot Dr. Chen here. Anyway, let''s go back to work and enough with my curiosity with that ghost story." Dr. Xiao loudly scolded himself. Dion shook his head and smirked. "That''s right, those things are just a waste of time. But to be honest I already saw her ever since I set foot back inside the hospital. I just did not say anything because Dr. Deyna Song is also here. You know it may creep her out so do keep this from her." "You mean the ghost of Dr. Yera Han? You have seen it already?!" burst Dr. Xiao in shock. Dion nodded then he added, "Since someone already saw her so at least the thing about her did not come to me first. Besides I do care for Dr. Song because she took care of me while we were at Yang Global and I know she hates creepy things like that so as much as possible don''t mention those ghost stories in front of her." "Oh yeah you''re right and the worst part of that is she looks exactly like Dr. Yera Han, the ghost. She could be offended right? Who wants to get compared with a ghost?" Dr. Xiao exaggeratedly said with a shivering act like he was electrified at the thought. "Precisely." Dion mumbled before leaving the area. He wondered how Xander would react to all this. He would get admitted the next day and the couple would surely get surprised by each other''s agenda. ''What a weird tandem,'' Dion mused. His mobile phone vibrated in his lab gown and he sighed seeing the message was from Rizie. Lately Rizie kept bugging her, well that was her usual self but he felt that she was overdoing it from past few days, making him more confused. He felt that Rizie was seeking more attention from him for a few days, seeing that he was quite surrounded by a lot of women at Life Hospital very unlike when he was at Yang Globals. He felt Rizie was getting jealous. ''Does this mean that she likes me more than just a friend?'' To be honest, Dion did not want to expect anything at all because what if it was not as to what he expected. Right now Rizie wanted him to accompany her at the cafe for a quick break. Before it was only breakfast or lunch or dinner but now she would always ask for him on her wee hours. And the funny part about it was that he was also free whenever she would bug him. He immediately walked towards the cafe at the ground floor of the hospital and saw Rizie sitting at the corner. She already ordered his drinks by the looks of it. She turned her head towards the door and she smiled broadly as soon as she saw him. Dion froze for a second seeing that bright smile on her lovely face. His heart was thumping hard. Rizie looked very pretty whenever she smiled like that, with her long curls falling down her pony tailed curly hair. Rizie hated her bouncy curly hair and wanted to straighten them but he insisted that it looked good on her so she kept it that way. ''I like her more than as a friend¡­'' he thought silently as he walked towards Rizie. He was almost halfway to her when someone grabbed his arm. It was nurse Jane. "Doc! You''re here¡­ Let''s get coffee and I''ll treat you since you always treat me with one before¡­" Jane greeted and offered and was about to pull Dion to a vacant table. "Doc Chen! Here!!!" Rizie shouted from her table with a fake smile. Dion knew that double edge smile with sharp eyes and he gulped. "Oh, I did not notice Rizie¡­" Jane murmured and smiled back at Rizie then pulled Dion towards Rizie''s table. "Hi Jane¡­ You too sit here if you want." Rizie suggested still smiling but with an arched brow. "Thanks," Jane commented. Jane''s arms were still hooked at Dion''s and his eyes did not escape Rizie''s deadly stare at those arms. ''Why would she act like that? Is it because she''s just too possessive for our friendship? Or is there something more?'' Dion mused. Maybe he needed to push Rizie''s limits and that way he could find out what really her confusing reactions and actions meant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

"Did you thoroughly check all the camera footage in the hospital during those hours?" Lyndon asked his security as he watched the video where Carla was pointing her finger toward the direction Yera showed herself but there was no one in that area. The men inside the security room were startled as Jam entered the room. "What are you doing here?" Lyndon asked with knitted brows. "I''m curious like you. What else? I actually wondered what would you do if Yera''s ghost appeared before you¡­" Jam scoffed as she scanned the video on the screen. "This is not a place to discuss such things¡­" Jam heard Lyndon whisper in her ear and she just shrugged her shoulders as a reply. "Hmm, this is interesting. I guess that nurse was speaking the truth. I heard another doctor close to Dr. Song actually has a third eye. I wonde¡­" Jam''s words were cut when Lyndon abruptly grabbed her arm and walked out from the security room. "Stop bubbling things without enough basis in front of people Jam! You will only make things worse!" Lyndon scolded as soon as they were out of the room and out from other people''s eyes and ears. "Stop overreacting! But I don''t believe in these stupid ghost stories. Everything can be fabricated nowadays and I feel something fishy is going on Lyndon. I won''t be surprised if that ghost of Yera starts haunting you soon dear¡­ Well you do know you can run to me anytime you wanted¡­" Jam jested that made Lyndon''s face turn sour. "How can you even joke around like that?" He hissed. Jam gave him a mocking laugh and scorned, "I''m more worried about Yera''s doppelganger who is so much alive rather than that so called ghost of Yera. I''m just curious what the CCTV had captured but still I will keep an eye more at Dr. Deyna Song. Who knows? She could be posing like that ghost somehow?" Lyndon looked around before he abruptly grabbed Jam''s arm and exclaimed, "Stopped messing around." Jam''s eyebrows raised while she responded, "See how behaved I am lately? As long as you won''t get near to that Deyna Song I''ll keep behaving dear." Jam raised her hand to caress Lyndon''s cheek but the latter turned his head and quickly released her. "Go back to work Jam and I''ll eat dinner with you later." Lyndon muttered that made Jam''s heart flutter. ''I am really stupid right?'' Jam told herself inwardly while she looked at Lyndon''s back with teary eyes. How come she could not give up her first love that easily? She recalled the first time she met Lyndon¡­ She would always cry hard because she was often bullied when she was a kid, calling her a bastard child. Everybody knew that she was an adopted child and because of that she was often bullied by the other kids in their community and school. One day, while she was alone on a bench, crying hard, a boy approached her and looked at her crying state. He handed her a box of chocolates he had, saying, ''eat these and you will smile.'' Well she did smile after eating the box of chocolates he gave her. She met him first. She loved Lyndon first¡­ But Yera appeared somewhere in the picture¡­ Yera could take everything else but not Lyndon so she did every possible way to break them up but the engagement between families was too tied to break easily. Lyndon''''s father was like a dog to Old Master Han, a dog who was willing to do anything for Old Master Han to keep the Chu''s family line in place. Yera died and everything went well already. However, another woman appeared that made Lyndon bicker. Jam released a frustrated sigh¡­ Lyndon seemed to be distancing himself from Deyna after the incident of her getting drunk and confronting Dr. Song at the restaurant where the Department of Surgery had a dinner celebration. But she knew Lyndon too well¡­ He was just waiting for the right time. For now she could still get a hold of him by blackmailing him this far but Jam knew it would not last long given Lyndon''s capabilities. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialed a number. "Make sure you follow every instruction I gave you or you will end up dead. I will send everything you need as you requested." Jam was about to walk back to her office when she saw Lyndon suddenly rushed out from the security room. She stopped one of the security personnel that was inside with him in the room and asked, "Why? What''s going on?" "CEO received a call from the ER. Looks like, the CEO of Yang Hospital was rushed to the emergency room." answered the personnel based on what he heard from the telephone in the security room that was put on loudspeaker when answered as instructed by CEO Chu. "Xander Yang?" Jam with a creased forehead exclaimed. Why would Xander Yang go to a competitor hospital? Yeah she knew that Yang Globals was still temporarily closed due to the ongoing investigation but they still had other affiliates and subsidiaries? "Was it really an emergency for him to be run in here instead?" she mumbled and continued to walk back to her office. Meanwhile, the emergency doctor on duty that time had requested for the necessary tests for Xander. Then he immediately said, "put him in IV quick! I will have him admitted to monitor his vitals. Process his admission." Assistant Ron and the nurse beside Xander nodded. "He is on his way," Xander heard the nurse whisper to one of the doctors at the scene. He closed his eyes and acted as if he had fallen asleep. After a while, he heard Lyndon''s voice, "What happened?" The doctor in charge explained Xander''s condition and why he decided for Xander to get admitted. Meanwhile, Xander''s assistant explained that Life Globals was the nearest hospital when his CEO passed out after vomiting a lot. Xander was grinning inside as he listened to the doctor who was one of his spies. But that grin was replaced with a sour face when Lyndon added, "Also make sure that our best psychiatrist would check on him too." Assistant Ron pursed his lips hearing that, trying his best not to laugh on the scene. He could see the gritting of his Boss'' teeth so he quickly moved to vaguely cover his face from the others. CEO Chu had a point though, his Boss truly needed to see a psych for being too possessive and protective of his wife. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

He should be the one seeing him! Meddling with my wife¡­ Trying to get close to her!" Xander burst as soon as Ralf signaled to him that the vip room where he was admitted was all cleared from any bug or hidden cameras. Well his admission was so sudden that Lyndon had no time to install any of those in there, besides he would surely be cautious to tap someone like him. His face was still crumpled when he turned his head at assistant Ron. "My wife is still in the operating room?" "Yes sir. One more hour at most." Assistant Ron quickly answered. Xander then looked around the big room he was occupying. "Their vip room is not that bad. They surely copied a lot from our hospital huh¡­" Xander mumbled as he observed the cozy room that looked more like a hotel suite from a five star hotel. He bet the price for this room was sky high. While Xander was observing the details of the room, there was a knock at the door before it got opened. Dr. Ming entered with a nurse to check up on Xander, so he acted as a patient should. Dr. Ming was smiling at him and said, "Are you feeling better now Mr. Yang?" Xander pursed his lips and replied, "Not really¡­ My stomach is still not in good shape and I still feel weak." "Well you have amoebiasis with severe symptoms. You will be fine soon. Nurse Park here will administer you the medicine you need." Dr. Ming briefed him with formalities about the infection he got from eating food that was contaminated with a parasite. Meanwhile, the commotion about the CEO of Yang Globals group getting admitted at Yang Hospital escalated fast. "Amoebiasis? How in hell did he get infected with it? Don''t tell me he eats street foods? The CEO of Yang Globals?" commented one of the nurses at the VIP ward with her co-workers as they walked in the hallway to grab lunch at the hospital canteen. Yera who was walking back to her office coincidentally heard it. She quickly picked up her mobile phone in her lab gown pocket and dialed Xander''s number. She had clearly heard the words ''CEO of Yang Globals'' and it made her worried. Her heart beat was so fast as she got worried, thinking something bad could have happened. "Where are you?" was the words that first came out from her mouth as soon as Xander picked up his mobile phone. "Hmm, I''m so near you darling. Why? Do you miss me already?" she heard Xander cheerfully jested that made her release a sigh of relief. At least she could tell from his voice that nothing bad had happened to him. She creased her forehead and asked once more in her sharp voice, "Where are you?" There was a moment of silence before Xander finally spoke and said, "I''m in the vip room. I got admitted just a while ago darling. It''s assistant Ron''s fault for buying me contaminated street food. Don''t worry, I''m alright but I still have an upset stomach and the doctor said I''m a bit dehydrated so¡­" "Give me your room number," Yera mumbled. Then she authoritatively added, "Request the station for me to check on you. Tell them I know your complete medical history since I was your favorite doctor back there in Yang Globals. Do it now!" Xander blinked his eyes and looked at assistant Ron with pity. The latter looked so pale seeing the reaction on his face. Obviously both of them would receive scolding based on Yera''s tone. "Yes, darling." Xander obediently replied before the call ended. Ralf on the other hand quickly bid his farewell and fled out from the scene before he got caught up with assistant Ron and his Boss'' role playing. Xander immediately asked for Yera at the nurse station as his wife instructed. "Boss, can we just tell Madam Yera the truth? I mean that you did this so you can look after her. I think it sounds romantic¡­" assistant Ron tried to convince his CEO one more time. Xander''s eyebrows raised as he said, "Will it not sound childish Ron? Anyway, you''re the one who bought me those tasty street foods so we are not acting at all." Assistant Ron helplessly scratched his head. ''But Boss'' you ask me to bring you those street food in the common market place despite knowing the fact that the preparation could be not clean¡­'' he wanted to voice out his complaint but remained quiet. He wondered how people who bought and ate similar food regularly did not get infected somehow. Xander sighed and said, "My stomach is not immune to those unhygienically prepared food like them¡­ Since I never ate those kinds of stuff before. But to be fair, how they marinated those intestines are really tasty and good." "Don''t worry Ron my wife is harmless so she will spare you," Xander winked at his assistant. Yera rushed to wing -C of the hospital at the VIP ward. "Doc," the nurses and resident doctor greeted her. "Give me Mr. Yang''s chart," Yera simply instructed and the nurse handed her his chart. Then they walked inside Xander''s room. "I want to see an abdominal CAT scan," Yera instructed after physically checking Xander and the resident doctor at duty and the nurse nodded. Then they left the room. Yera paused from walking and said casually to the two, "You guys go ahead. I forgot to ask Mr. Yang something." The doctor and the nurse nodded and continued to walk back at the station while Yera quickly went back inside Xander''s room. Inside the room, Xander bit his lip as he heard his darling wife scold his assistant hard. "You know food in places like that are not hygienic so why did you buy it and give it to him? This is not acceptable Ron! What if he got food poisoning the next time?!" Yera exclaimed and continued to reprimand assistant Ron who would sneak pitiful look at Xander every once in a while, asking for help but Xander only signaled him to keep quiet. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

I think being here is a good thing anyway, I will get to see you often and that''s like a blessing in disguise¡­" Xander commented, trying to calm down his dear wife because he was afraid that assistant Ron would confess sooner or later in fear of Yera''s anger. He too was shocked to see how terrifying his wife could be. He could feel her concern about him that made Xander fly over the moon. "Ron, go now and leave us alone." he then added and signaled Ron to leave who then almost ran out of the room seeing his signal. "Darling, you have already wasted so many precious minutes of being together by scolding Ron too much. Come here¡­" Xander murmured with twinkling eyes. Yera did walk towards him but instead of sitting beside him she crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows and angrily said, "Xander Yang! Do you really think you can fool me? I will immediately ask for your transfer to the nearest subsidiary hospital of Yang Globals." Xander gulped and muttered, "Huh?" His wife did not buy their acting? Then why did she scold assistant Ron so much? "You two deserve to be choked! Why would you risk eating food like that just to get sick? Didn''t you think about how worried you can make me huh? Look, I know and understand that you want to protect me and want to always stay with me but please¡­" Yera reproached. Xander held Yera''s hand and countered, "You''re in the enemy''s lair and no, you don''t understand my dilemma, do you expect me to just entrust your whole security, everything with my men and relax at home? Sorry darling but you don''t know how disturbed I am whenever I think of you fighting alone for yourself and hence I can''t stop doing things like this in order to watch over you. As long as there is a threat to your life, don''t stop me from doing things on my own to look after you. If only it could be possible, I wished to watch over you on my own 24/7." "Don''t worry, my staying here would not be a hindrance. I''m your stalker remember? Just appeal to Lyndon and the rest to discharge me out from the hospital instead since you see no reason for me to stay admitted. I will take care of the rest." Xander added before pulling Yera onto his bed for a kiss. "Stop this! Someone might enter." Yera murmured as she tried to pull herself from Xander''s embrace. "Don''t worry, my guards are outside¡­" Xander responded before kissing his wife once more. He was here to bully Lyndon and Roy Go. He wondered if those two would be able to kick him out from Life Hospital. ...¡­... Lyndon was in his office unsettled. "I want him to get discharged as early as possible," he exclaimed and ordered Dr. Dwayne. It came to his knowledge that Xander especially asked for treatment from Dr. Deyna Song. ''So he is stalking her now in my hospital?'' he irritably mused. Although Xander was actually sick but Lyndon had this intuition that Xander had planned all of this to get inside his hospital because as Rizie said before Xander tried hard to convince Deyna to not leave Yang Globals but Deyna had refused to meet with him after saying her final decision. Dwayne smirked and said, "He''s still sick. As soon as he''s no longer ill then let''s kick him out." The chatting of Lyndon and Dwayne was interrupted with the sudden entrance of Jam in Lyndon''s office who comfortably sat on his couch in front of Dr. Dwayne. "What is this? Yera''s ghost and now Xander Yang is inside at Life Globals?" Jam mumbled and looked at Lyndon who was sitting on his desk. She had already heard that Xander Yang had his eyes on Dr. Deyna Song. Could it be that he was now stalking his favorite surgeon now by getting admitted in their hospital when he could choose to get transferred anytime? "He is a psycho who is obviously bored by doing nothing lately since his hospital is still closed. I''ll have him kicked out," Lyndon simply remarked. She could see the obvious irritation and annoyance on Lyndon''s face. "It''s not like we can kick out a sick person," Jam snorted, still confused why Lyndon was annoyed about Xander Yang when he never actually got affected by Xander before even though they were competitors in business. Well she could have an unexpected ally if that Xander Yang was in their hospital for the reason as she suspected. Or as Lyndon said, Xander was probably just messing around and mocking their hospital with his hidden agenda. Lyndon called Xander a crazy person who should get a psychiatrist for staying admitted in their hospital that he even burst out openly in front of one nurse and one doctor in the emergency room. ...¡­... Meanwhile, almost all women in the VIP ward were swooning over the CEO of Yang Globals group and they wanted almost all shifts in charge to check on him and be assigned to them. And Yera witnessed that hilarious scene as soon as she returned to the nurse station. "What are you guys doing at work?! Stop that and be professionals." Yera could not help but to reprimand some staff who were busy chatting and squealing as they debated about the schedules of shift in the coming days. "Doc, can you blame us? That''s Xander Yang! He is the complete package¡­ Just seeing him smile, gosh our heart is melting!" bluntly commented one of the obviously blabbermouth vulgar nurses. Yera''s face soured, hearing how her husband was being fantasized by other women in front of her face. ''Stop that! I''m his wife!'' she wanted to voice out but of course it could only remain inside her head for now. She cursed inwardly because tonight was Jane''s turn to be haunted. She sighed and looked at the nurses who looked excited and very much inspired at work at that moment. "I heard that the CEO of Yang Globals group is an incapable man when it comes to bed but this information might not be true," Yera suddenly blurted out before leaving the nurse station that left the girls there with mouth agape. "Did Dr. Song mean that CEO Yang is impotent?" one of the nurses murmured. "I guess so¡­ Dr. Song seemed to be a woman of few words¡­ So whenever she says something it must be reliable? right?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Did you already know about Xander getting admitted here?" Rizie interrogated. Dion did not respond and Dion''s silence always meant ''YES''. As usual she was having coffee with Dion during her break time. Rizie twitched her lips. Their second play for Yera to haunt the vip ward would take place at three in the afternoon. Everything was already arranged and she would be with Jane at that point. It was a good thing that Jane was a person who seemed to be afraid of ghosts. Rizie looked at her wrist watch and said, "I have to go now and meet Jane." Dion nodded and said, "Remind Jane about our dinner." Rizie who already stood up suddenly paused and lifted her eyebrow up at him. "Dinner? Are you dating her?" Rizie burst that almost made Dion choke on his coffee. "What? We also often have dinner together so does it mean that we are dating?" Dion threw Rizie the same question "Of course not but¡­" Rizie murmured and she couldn''t seem to find the right words to explain herself. "We are different. We''re like best of friends¡­" "Go now Rizie it''s almost time. Everything is ready¡­''" Dion mumbled with an expressionless face. He hated those words ''best of friends'' when he knew he wanted more. Unrequited feeling was the worst feeling he ever encountered in his entire life. But somewhere, his sixth sense told him that Rizie had a mutual feeling for him but then again he did not want to keep his expectations high so he always brushed off that idea. ''Maybe I need to push her a little more fiercely,'' he mumbled because though he was trying hard not to expect but in reality he was somehow expecting still. ......... At past three in the afternoon, Rizie brought Jane some snacks and the latter was grateful as they walked and talked in the vip ward. "Some rooms are still under renovation but they look really nice especially the main room which the late family is using. It''s like they are in their own home," Jane bragged. The nurses assigned at the vip ward were also keenly chosen so Jane was obviously proud that she was staying at vip ward. "Oh can I look at that room? I heard that''s the best one. Did the management entrust you for the keycard there?" Rizie asked while pointing her finger at the main room where Old Master Han stayed. Rizie saw the hesitation on Jane''s face so she intentionally commented, "That''s okay Jane. I understand that not everyone has access to that room. I''ll probably ask Dr. Song to take a picture in case she has a patient who will stay there." Knowing how proud Jane was, as they expected she took the bait. "Of course I have access there too. We can actually sneak inside since there''s only a few people from the staff right now as we don''t have patients in this ward as of this moment except for Mr. Yang and the daughter of Senator Gil. Jane took her card key out from her pocket and had it scanned at the door that automatically opened. Jane entered first and Rizie followed after her. Rizie made sure she did not close the door and quickly took Jane''s attention inside. "Wow!" Rizie burst as Jane showed her one of the rooms. She had a bluetooth on her ear that was covered with her long curly hair. That way she could monitor everything. "She''s in," Rizie heard on the other line. "She''s in position now." hearing Dion''s signal, who was still in the cafe having his coffee as he watched the scene in the hacked cctv footage on his tablet. He was hiding in a corner where no one could see what he was doing in his tablet and he looked like some random doctor surfing his tablet. "She only has five minutes to get out from there," Vin, who was Dion''s closest friend, recalled on the other line. Vin was the one who hacked the cctv monitoring system inside Life Hospital. That instant Rizie turned around and walked to the area where Yera stood in white with her dead props'' makeup and wig. Rizie kept on talking, "Oh it''s like a living area even bigger than mine geez rich people really did not know how to spend their money¡­" Rizie could see Jane froze from the corner of her eyes so she looked at her and asked, "Hey Jane? Are you alright? You look pale¡­ Should we head out?" "Don''t you see someone inside?" Jane whispered as she looked at Yera''s direction. Fear was all over her face. Rizie creased her forehead while she looked around. "What are you saying Jane? There''s only the two of us here. Maybe we should head out already¡­" Rizie mumbled in her confused voice. "I see her there in the corner¡­" Jane mumbled with pale face. Rizie walked towards the direction Jane''s eyes were staring and paused to raise her hand and asked, "Here? It''s only the wall in here Jane." Rizie walked back towards Jane to pull her out of the room but before Jane went out of the room'' she managed to press a button inside the room. "Security room¡­" Rizie panicked when she heard the security personnel''s voice. "Please check the main room at the VIP ward. I think I saw someone suspicious." Jane mumbled trembling. As they went out Rizie said, "I don''t see anyone Jane. You should cancel the security you called. You''re just probably tired." "That''s the point Rizie. You don''t see her but I did. I want to make sure I''m the only one who is seeing it¡­" Jane replied in her trembling voice. "She''s already out!" Dion marked the other line. "Vin! How long will it take to erase her visuals in the cctv?" "I need more time. I froze the camera but the control room might see the abnormalities if the camera won''t capture the security personnel who would go to check the room." Vin explained. "Ria are you in position? Do you think you''ll be able to.block the security men on their way to the VIP ward? We need to stall time¡­ I''ll hold them here as much as I can." Dion whispered and quickly stood up with his coffee. "Lyndon¡­ Crap you will meet him on the hallway! Hide!" Dion suddenly said seeing Lyndon suddenly appeared at the vip ward. Dion sighed when he saw Yera manage to walk inside one of the VIP rooms to hide but then cursed afterwards seeing Lyndon paused at the same room. "Fu*ck¡­ Lyndon is going inside the same room!" He whimpered as he quickly moved and almost ran towards the escalator. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Dion reviewed the footage and murmured, "Vin how much longer?" He was walking and he saw the security personnel going towards the place of incident, he intentionally bumped into the man and spilled his coffee all over him. "Oh I''m sorry. I spilled it on your uniform, I am extremely sorry for spoiling your uniform." Dion muttered and inspected the man''s uniform. "That''s okay Doc. This is nothing¡­" answered the man who seemed in a rush but Dion apologized further and offered him a shirt to change into. The security personnel refused though and immediately left him. "Ria, get out of the site. I''m almost done. There''s no need for you to stall and get on the site." Vin remarked as he manipulated all the clips and cleared it of Yera''s visuals. Meanwhile, Lyndon knocked at the door and went inside Xander''s room but he was not to be seen on the bed. "Mr. Yang," he called seeing the door in the restroom was slightly opened. "I''m sorry, I''m inside the restroom to wash up. What can I do for you Mr. Lyndon Chu? Can I just call you Lyndon and drop off all the formalities? Please feel free to call me Xander." Xander answered. "How are you doing Mr. Yang?" Lyndon continued. He would be busy later and was only available now to visit Xander, so he used this time to go to Xander and talk things out straight with him. ''This stalker must know his limits and that he can''t snatch away my staff at any cost.'' Lyndon mused. Xander smiled and said, "Life Hospital''s service is really good. So much so that I have decided to stay here a bit longer." "I see. I have good news though. Maybe not too good for you¡­ well the news is that you can be discharged as early as tomorrow and then you can do home medications for further relief, so there is no need for you to stay here and kill your time any longer." declared Lyndon. Xander arched a brow and said, "If I''m not mistaken my doctor had advised for another test since I still have some complaints with my body. Besides, I had heard that Life Hospital accepts longer than required stay for some ''special'' patients in their vip wards, despite the fact that they are not sick. Like Senator Gil''s daughter perhaps? She''s healthier than I am but she''s been staying here longer than behind the bars?" Xander countered. Senator Gil''s daughter had accidentally killed a kid due to drunk driving. Lyndon remained calm and directly said, "Why are you really here Mr. Yang? Aren''t you uncomfortable at all?" He knew what Xander was implying but he couldn''t care less. "I''m here to recuperate better and take back my most precious surgeon." Xander bluntly declared but he suddenly blenched. "What''s wrong?" Lyndon asked as when he heard Xander''s painful cry. Xander quickly said, "Nothing just a small insect, maybe an ant that bit me! Lyndon if you don''t have any more important things to say, can you please leave me for a while?" Lyndon sighed and replied, "Yes I will leave you now but just so that you know I will not let you take anyone from my hospital that easily. Get well soon Mr. Yang and I do hope that you recover really soon." As soon as Lyndon left the room, Xander murmured, "Darling, why did you hit me like there? Do you want little Xander to become incapable?" "So, I am an ant? I bit you? Xander Yang, let this ant bite you some more now." Saying this Yera fisted her hands and punched Xander everywhere on his body. This sudden assault caught Xander off guard and by the time he was able to catch hold of Yera''s fists he had started feeling something down there. Then he added, "Darling, this hitting had turned me on and I wish to take you to the bed right away¡­" Yera was leaning on the wall with Xander''s arms at both her sides holding on to her fists and almost caging her. He teased his wife with a mischievous smile curling on his sexy lips. Well, he was not joking because his little buddy was up and awakened because Yera''s body was so close to him. Yera ignored him and quickly dodged out from his arms to go out of the bathroom and lock the main door of the room. "What''s with your outfit and make up?" Xander finally got the chance to ask. He had freaked out and was about to run out from the bathroom a while ago, when he saw someone entering inside the bathroom wearing a weird white gown. But Yera quickly turned to him and said, ''it''s me darling. Please hide me fast.'' "Don''t worry the room is very safe and well checked. We can discuss everything here." Xander assured seeing the hesitation on Yera''s face as she looked inside the room. Yera sighed because obviously her husband had no idea yet about the ghost plan. She contemplated for a while but ended up spurting her agenda behind his back. "What?! How could you hide this from me?" Xander burst after hearing everything. Yera sat on the side of his bed and with raised brow answered, "Well you also hid your intention of getting admitted so I believe we are both equally guilty and are even now?" Xander pouted his lips and silently admired the shamelessness of his wife. He then got up from his seat and sat beside his wife then grabbed Yera''s hands. "Darling, both the situations are entirely different. My agenda to come here was to be with you always but your whole plan is about moving around the hospital disguised as a ghost, on your own, risking your life to haunt them¡­" "If you knew, you would not allow me to proceed on this¡­" Yera mumbled. "True. I would have used a double!!! Besides, ghosts don''t look as beautiful as you are looking. Your makeup is not right for a ghost!" Xander jested but obviously he was not pleased with Yera doing things on her own because their plan might sound easy but in reality it was a risk like now, his wife almost got caught. But Xander understood his wife''s sentiments, they both have the same goal so he said, "No more doing things behind each other''s back from now on. I will try my best to loosen up a bit so please make sure you tell me whatever is in your head." Yera curled her lips, she was not convinced and her expression told him so. Xander sighed and muttered, "Alright, believe me in this darling. I will really cooperate obediently because this will serve as a lesson that you had already planned things behind my back and I don''t want something like this to happen again so please believe me¡­" Yera narrowed her eyes as if she was trying to figure out if her husband could really cooperate as he was promising. She did not know whether to laugh or get worried seeing her husband''s pleading face. She let out a long deep sigh and answered him with a simple nod. She hoped Xander could be rational though it would be a bit hard for him with his protective nature towards her. Xander on the other hand knew it would be a struggle for him but he did not want his wife to do things like this behind his back so he should try his best to adjust and he would make sure that there would be reliable back up plans for Yera''s safety from next time. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Xander could only sigh and accept the plan that Yera made in the end. Their next target was Yera''s uncle Roy. The plan must somehow be quite effective given how the gossips inside the hospital were circulating. One of those was that Yera was haunting the hospital since she was probably in despair, asking for justice for what happened to her and her grandfather. There was also a noticeable change in Jane''s behavior lately after the incident where Yera showed herself to her as the ghost. So Dion started pursuing her by going out with her more often. Dion could feel that Jane knew something important regarding Old Master Han''s death. Dion also kept mentioning to Jane that he could often see Yera on places where they went to. "Jane, I''m not sure if I should tell you this¡­ But lately, I''ve been seeing Yera lingering a lot around the places where we go. Well, she is mostly standing at a distance, usually at your back not far away. I mean, I''m not connected with her, I hadn''t known her at all, so why would she show herself to me, so I thought maybe you were close to her? Do you happen to see her whenever we are together?" Dion straightforwardly told Jane while they were having lunch. ''At her back?'' Jane nervously thought inwardly. She cursed inside and thought to never look back at all for the rest of her life. Dion noticed Jane becoming restless. She forced a smile and murmured, "I was not close with her Doc. And I have never seen her whenever I had been with you..." Maybe, Dion thought, they needed more shoving as Rizie suggested. Rizie wanted to extend the frightening play to Jane''s apartment, but he refused; however, seeing Jane''s reaction now, Dion was rather convinced to accept Rizie''s suggestion. "Hmm, I see. I really wonder why she''s¡­" Dion continued but was stopped by Jane. "Doc, please stop¡­ I''m sorry but can we please not talk about your third eye views? I will really appreciate it if you do not mention things like these to me whenever we''re together. I''m uncomfortable." Jane almost begged. Dion could see the conflicted look on her face. He wondered, if he had already done something like this before during his internship at Life Hospital, maybe he would get a grasp of the truth earlier somehow. But he did not have a ghost like Yera with him at that time, who could haunt and show herself to others. "Alright¡­ Sorry Jane. I thought it''s okay. I will never mention it again." Dion apologised. After lunch, Dion encouraged the idea of bothering Jane at night and this time it was an easier task since they could facilitate Xander''s team. Before Jane could go out from her duty they managed to penetrate Jane''s building in disguise. Jane was only an ordinary employee and was not staying at a high end building so it was easy to invade her apartment. They decided to postpone haunting Roy Go and to proceed to pursue Jane late at night. ......¡­. Meanwhile, Yera did her routine rounds at the in-patients and that included Xander''s room late in the afternoon before taking her off from her work at the hospital. She rolled her eyes seeing how the nurses would still get ahead of each other to accompany her inside the room. "Alright, stop that and all of you can come!" she exclaimed with twitched lips. Well she was not a killjoy after all. Let their eyes feast since they could only look and she would not deny that liberty to these poor souls. They marched inside Xander''s room who was startled to see the number of assistants Yera had as she entered. "Mr. Yang you''re so popular that all the nurses are willing to assist me while I do my round in your room." Yera greeted with a scornful smile as she checked Xander''s condition. "Hello beautiful ladies," Xander greeted the nurses with a wink and broad accommodating smile. The nurses giggled and timidly greeted him back. Yera''s eyebrows arched seeing the flirty moods in the atmosphere. She moved and touched Xande''s stomach and pressed it harder. "Ouch!" Xander cried. Yera''s eyes rounded as she said, "It hurts?" Xander nodded. His wife was literally doing it on purpose. ''Was it his fault that women swoon at him?'' "I will refer you to a urologist," Yera naively offered. "What?! Me?" Xander burst in horror. Weren''t he healed already. Why would she bring this up openly in front of many women. He pouted his lips and answered, "No thanks. I have my own urologist." He could see the meaningful glances the nurses gave to each other. Well it was true that he had that problem before with his manhood but he was already healed. He was too embarrassed to even have it mentioned in front of so many other staff that his face became red. Yera raised an eyebrow and said, "I heard you have symptoms of urinary tract infection." And with a smirk she added, "What do you think I meant Mr. Yang?" "Doc, CEO Yang is blushing¡­" one nurse couldn''t help herself to comment. "Still so handsome¡­" whispered one of the other nurses that made Yera''s ears burned. ''How come nurses at Life Hospital do not get easily turned off?'' she irritably mused. Yera creased her forehead and continued, "Meanwhile, I will require for a urinalysis, until the result is out, I advise you to control your flirtatious moves for a few days if you don''t want to infect your partner." ''Flirtatious moves? Can I get urinary tract infection from it?'' Xander cried inwardly. But what made Xander shocked was Yera''s next words. "No sex for a while Mr. Yang unless the urologist cleared you¡­" ''Is that for real?'' Xander''s eyes spoke to Yeras who only gave him pursed lips. Xander scratched his head and refrained himself from smiling too much especially when the nurses bid their farewell at him. Before Yera and the nurses totally left Xander asked, "When will the urologist see me? I will pee now and give me the specimen bottle immediately." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

''Was the air-conditioning not working?'' She mused as she lazily opened her eyes. She could.feel the heat brewing in her room. Her eyes widened with shock when she saw total darkness in her room. ''How come the lights are off?'' She clearly had kept the lights on while sleeping since she could not sleep in the dark after that terrifying incident she had encountered in one of the vip rooms. ''Oh God,'' she silently cried as tension started to envelop her body. She could feel the hard thumping of her heart. She sat up on her bed contemplating if she should go to turn the lights on again. Fear had gripped her whole body for some unknown reasons, she tried to shrug off all the thoughts inviting fear in her mind and prepared herself to do and check on lights, but before she could move even an inch from the bed, she heard a screeching sound that reverberated in her entire room. She was jolted on her bed and her head felt numb from the fear and anxiety that crawled into her body slowly. ''Oh God!'' She panicked and tried to grab the mobile phone on her side. Suddenly a particular light beamed in her room but to her horror it was a light with a woman form in it. No it was not a form but a woman'' that woman. Yera Han! Jane closed her eyes hard and murmured, "Please stop! don''t haunt me! I don''t have anything to do with your grandfather. You should be haunting your aunt and not me. It''s not me who killed Old Master Han¡­" Jane was crying hard as she spoke the words in horror. "Leave me alone please¡­ It''s not me! Please believe me, I didn''t do anything, I don''t have anything to do with it!!!" Her life was doing fine after that incident. Yes, she did have a few sleepless nights after witnessing what had happened, but she overcame it in the end. She did not choose to see what had happened. If only she could turn back time, she would definitely take an off on that fateful day. She could still vividly recall that scene in her head where she was about to do her usual rounds when she saw Madam Juliet Go was inside talking and crying so she was about to close the door back but for some reason she stayed listening to all Madame Juliet''s pleas to her father. She was too shocked to hear the words. Madame Juliet''s grudge against her father for not treating her fairly and giving everything to Yera. She was full of hatred and the last thing she saw was Madame Juliet Go removing the respirator of Old Master Han who struggled hard for his life. Jane was too shocked by all that she saw and she froze on her spot. She did not know what to do. Then she heard Madam Go start to scream for help. That was when she ran inside and asked casually Madam Go what had happened because she was about to go for her routine check at Old Master Han. She managed to act as if she did not see a thing and even checked on Old Master Han at that time who was already lifeless, she then proceeded further and called for a doctor. She was too scared. She was grateful that Madam Juliet did not become suspicious about her maybe because she too had acted as if nothing unnatural had happened and she knew nothing at all about the killing of Old Master Han. Years passed and everything kept going well. Yera Han also died so Jane did not see the point of spilling out the secret that she knew. She also knew that she would only bring harm to herself the moment she spoke out the truth. "Please leave me alone¡­ You should be showing yourself to your Aunt Juliet and not me. She is the one who killed your grandfather, I did nothing¡­ please believe me.. I didn''t do anything ¡­" Jane repeated, sobbing hard with her eyes tightly closed and palms covering her face. Yes she was at fault for hiding the truth but what else could she do? She had no one to turn to? She contemplated whether to tell what she knew to Lyndon but then she heard that the man got engaged with Juliet Go''s only daughter, so in the end she decided not to dig her own grave, and hid the whole truth in her heart, by shutting her mouth and sealing out the truth behind Old Master Han''s death. Beside Dr. Jin went missing. If she was right Dr. Jin had an argument with the findings why Old Master Han died. Dr. Jin was skeptical in ruling the cause of death of Old Master Han but in the end he ruled it as how the Go''s asked him to do. How did she know about it? Because she personally talked to Dr. Jin, asking the real reason Old Master Han died. It was due to asphyxia. Jane tried her best to forget and live her life normally like nothing had happened but why after so many peaceful years a ghost would suddenly hunt her down? She sensed that the lights in her room were turned on so she slowly opened her eyes hoping it was only a bad dream. Her eyes widened in shock seeing Yera Han, staring at her. Tears continuously fell on her cheeks. "Tell me what happened to my grandfather¡­" Jane heard her speak and her jaw dropped. She was too confused and by then she saw Dr. Dion Chen enter. "What''s going on?" Jane totally flabbergasted asked. "We need your help Jane¡­" Dion muttered and sat beside Jane to explain what was happening. Jane could not speak at all as she listened and sneakily kept looking at Yera Han who she now knew as Dr. Deyna Song. So Yera Han was not dead after all and was posing as Dr. Deyna Song to find out the truth. What totally shocked Jane also was seeing CEO Yang with Yera who was comforting the latter. Jane was already caught with the words she spoke and she did not see the point of hiding the truth anymore seeing Dr. Yera Han was alive and seeking for the truth so she promised that she would cooperate with them, somewhere relieved in her heart that she got to speak the truth and had not carried such a sin to her grave. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Dion still looked a little shocked and stared at Rizie in awe and couldn''t help but admire her more in his head because it was Rizie''s idea in the first place to bring up the ghost of Yera, and she even made sure to have Jane as one of the targets. "What? I told you I have sharp instincts." Rizie bashfully muttered as she read the expression on Dion''s face. The two of them stayed in the cafe in between their buildings for some fresh air after the incident. Well, to be honest Rizie doubted Jane from a very long time especially when she found out that she was one of the nurses on duty when Old Master Han was hospitalized, she somehow tried to test her and commented nonchalantly about Dr. Deyna Song when she was with Jane like, what if Dr. Deyna Song was a long lost twin sister of Yera Han and asked Jane if she somehow knew the Han''s personally or if she was already at the hospital when Old Master Han was hospitalized. Jane was obviously trying to vaguely change the topic and her expressions froze for a second, so Rizie instantly smelled that something was off. Then Rizie heard Dion chuckled, interrupting her reverie, recalling the events at that time when she tested Jane. "I still can not believe that we managed to uncover the truth with such childish acts like this¡­" Rizie rolled her eyes and said, "Well, there are things that sometimes science can not explain and same goes with solving mysteries. Sometimes only investigating is not enough, that''s why you have to experiment and use all means you possibly can, if you are really committed to finding the truth¡­" Jane was finally willing to cooperate with Yera and her team and it was agreed that she should remain at the hospital so nothing shall be suspicious however, Xander had assigned a team for her security for safety reasons. Rizie let out a long sigh. One mystery was solved but the pressing question about Yera''s abduction was still unclear. Though Juliet Go was the one responsible for Old Master Han''s death, but that did not mean that she was also responsible for Yera''s abduction, though there was a possibility of course that she was responsible for that. But more evidence would be needed to confirm that. Juliet Go had obsessive-compulsive disorder and the woman was probably crazy, someone who wouldn''t bat an eye before doing such a gruesome thing, could even be the mastermind behind Yera''s abduction. If one threw a glance on the reputation that Juliet Go had built, who could have thought that something such evil was hiding behind that angelic face of hers. "I only hope we are soon able to find out who is the culprit behind Yera''s abduction and killing also," Rizie muttered. "We will reach there eventually. I know that we will soon get the justice my sister deserves¡­" Dion seconded, hoping that everything would be solved very soon. ...¡­. At Yera''s Condo, the small painful cries filled the dark room while Xander tightly hugged his wife and gently patted her back to give as much comfort as he could give. Although Yera was prepared for the bitter truth but what she found out totally shocked her. Among everyone, her aunt Juliet was the last person she thought could do such a thing. She witnessed how well her aunt Juliet was treated by her grandfather, so much so that she herself did not get a hint of her being an adopted daughter ever! Yera was in so much pain and her pain and cries were breaking Xander''s heart.. They stayed like that for hours and Xander let Yera cry as much as she wanted in his arms. He gritted his teeth as he vowed to make Juliet Go pay for the heartache she had caused to his wife. He immediately mobilized his people to obtain necessary evidence such as video recordings during that day where Jane witnessed everything. It would be easier now to move since they already had a lead, unlike before that everything was like finding a needle in a haystack. "Hush now my darling¡­ I will make sure.. to get justice for her crimes." Xander finally spoke after hours of letting her wife cry. He could no longer take it so he tried to stop Yera from crying. Yera tried her best to calm herself. She already accepted the fact that she lost her only family, her grandfather. However, confirming that her grandfather died in the hands of his daughter whom he really loved, was really grieving and painful. "How could she¡­" Yera muttered in her stammering voice. She couldn''t find enough reason for her aunt, Juliet to do such a thing! Only a heartless person would do such a thing with a bed ridden sick person. How much full of greed and evil was her aunt to do this to her poor grandfather. Yera''s heart was really torn into pieces... "Darling¡­ Everything will be fine soon¡­" Xander whispered as he kissed Yera''s hair and forehead. Yera felt good that she had Xander to cry her heart out, in times like this, that she had someone comforting her tremendously and taking care of her. She tightly clinged herself to her husband as she slowly stopped crying. She gently pushed herself away after finally calming down. She faintly smiled at her husband, looked into his eyes and whispered softly, "thank you." She was really grateful that Xander unexpectedly came into her life. Xander smiled back at her and naively asked, "Hmm, and... what''s that thank you for?" "Thank you... for everything.... To be honest I''m really grateful that you are always by my side." Yera honestly conveyed. "Hmm¡­ so¡­ am I not too clingy?" Xander asked almost in a whisper. Yera chuckled hearing that and nodded. "Yes you are... but I like it¡­ Your way of clinginess..." Xander grinned and tightened his hug at Yera as he jested, "Don''t you dare back out on your words Mrs. Yera Han Yang! You said it yourself so don''t complain later if you happen to experience more clinginess from your handsome husband. Well just so that you know, I''m one in a million and you will never find another one like me in this world so don''t you dare let go of me whatever happens or whatever comes our way." "We have to face everything together darling¡­" Xander added. Yera smooched her husband out of joy. Yes indeed she couldn''t agree less. Definitely she would never find another man like her husband... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

Dion and Rizie reported to work as usual including Jane except for Yera who took an emergency leave. Her eyes were swollen and puffy due to crying and so she filed for a leave to rest for a while and also because she wanted to spend some more time alone. Xander was also back in the hospital before the sunrise before anyone could notice his absence. Yera on the other hand, prepared herself to sneak out and visit the grave of her grandfather. After a couple of hours, she looked in the mirror. She had her hair back to its original straight black color. She wanted to visit her grandfather''s grave looking how the last time he remembered her look was. She knew it was pointless but somehow it made her feel good. The sun was shining brightly as Yera stepped out of her car. She was wearing her sunglasses with her sharp makeup on, just as she used to put on as Yera Han. She was in her semi-formal outfit of white solid knitted sheath high neck sleeveless dress with a straight hem, partnered with her high heeled white stilettos. "Grandpa I''m back. I''m not sure whether you can see me now but I hope wherever you are you''ll be at peace seeing that I''m doing well." Yera whispered but her solitude was interrupted when she heard the warning call through the bluetooth in her ear. "Your aunt Juliet is headed towards there. We need to pull out¡­" reported Ralf on the other line. Yera remained calm and did not move an inch from her spot where she stood by and stared at her grandfather''s grave. "She''s alone right? Monitor the preminise and make sure no one disturbs us." Yera instructed in her firm tone. Ralf was confused but had the men positioned as their Madame instructed. Juliet Han would never fail to visit her father''s graveyard once every month and today she saw her father''s favorite flowers along her way to shopping so she decided to stop by at the cemetery and bring him the flowers. Her forehead creased seeing a woman in white standing before her father''s grave. "Excuse me¡­" she said smiling from behind. She was curious who could be the woman visiting her father''s grave. The woman did not move at all so Juliet walked forward to look at the woman closely who probably did not hear her. The moment she had a better look at her, Juliet was stupefied and her limbs felt limp, she unconsciously dropped the bouquet of flowers that she held in her hands. There was no doubt that the woman before her was Yera Han! That aura and that look¡­ those cold expressions on the face, that expressionless eyes¡­ yes she was Yera Han. Was she hallucinating? Juliet blinked her eyes several times to make sure that she was seeing things clearly. Yera removed her sunglasses. She turned her head and with her expressionless face she mocked, "It''s been a while aunt Juliet. How have you been? I hope you manage to still sleep well." Juliet''s eyes widened as she whispered, "You''re alive? You''re real?" Yera did not answer but only gave her a smirk. Juliet raised her hand towards Yera, she was about to touch her to make sure she was not hallucinating or anything when she felt a sting in her arm. Juliet Han passed out before Yera Han and Ralf held her aunt, preventing her from falling on the ground. ¡­.. Juliet woke up inside one of the vip rooms with her husband and daughter beside her. "What''s going on? Why am I here?" She asked with knitted eyebrows. "The caretaker of grandpa''s grave found you unconscious and called out for an ambulance." Jam explained. Juliet quickly sat and inspected her left arm where she felt something stung her before losing consciousness. "Dear don''t move! You almost had a stroke. Your blood pressure was too high when you were brought and yet is not normal and your heart rate was also not good. What are you doing? Dear, stop moving," Roy scolded his wife who seemed to be checking her arm well. "Mom, they took your blood sample and they injected something to stabilize your body''" Jam seconded. "I felt something in my arm and I clearly saw her¡­" Juliet mumbled before she looked at Roy and said, "Have the cctv footage at the cemetery get checked! I saw Yera there!" Roy and Jam exchanged meaningful gazes, a bit confused with the hysterical look on her face instead of the usual calm demeanor of hers. Juliet composed herself and added, "Never mind¡­ Where is my mobile phone?" Jam handed her her phone and Juliet quickly sent an instruction through text message. Was she just hallucinating or starting to see the ghost too that was spreading inside the hospital? Even if Yera was alive, there was nothing more she could do, Life Hospitals group was already hers. What was making her restless was why would she see her at her father''s grave? Juliet subconsciously clutched the bedsheet on her sides recalling the incident before her father died. She still remembered that day, she was trying to convince him to give up on Yera already, but the old man was stubborn. He was insisting Yera was alive and they should not give up on her. He strongly believed that Yera had survived somehow and he was not ready to accept her death, without her dead body being found. "I have already lost your brother and I can''t afford to lose anymore of my blood and flesh¡­" she could still recall the words that made her snap out of herself. Obviously, her father would never entrust her everything because she was not his flesh and blood. She laughed crazily and started saying the words she kept in her heart till that day. She did not know what came into her. "Stop waiting for her because Yera will never come back! Even if she comes back I will make sure to snatch everything from her¡­ Everything that you want to give her¡­ I will snatch it all from her¡­ my dear father¡­ and before you even think of foiling my plans¡­ you must go!" That time everything else in her sight blackened and she was not in the right state of mind, before she knew it, she had already removed her father''s respirator for too long and he was dead with a stunned look in his eyes. She swore it was not intentional but seeing his father looking only at her in his last breath at that time made her really happy maybe because she felt that she even saved her father from suffering too much by waiting in vain for his one and only flesh and blood. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app & site only.

With that they could somehow access the confidential areas and files to obtain necessary things they could use as evidence. That same day, Dr. Moore was having her lunch when she received an anonymous call. "I want her out! What''s taking this so long?!" hissed her client on the other line. Dr. Moore arched her brow and answered, "Relax, she did not report today on duty so the plan has been postponed. Don''t you worry, I will make sure that tomorrow will be her last day at Life Hospital. Her career will end there so chill out will you and prepare the other half of our agreed contract." Dr. Moore irritably clicked her tongue as soon as the call ended. "What an impatient client!" she exclaimed as she stood up from her chair and left her unfinished coffee. She dialed a number and told the person at the other line to ready everything by tomorrow. The next morning, Yera reported back at the hospital like nothing had happened. A patient who needed surgery was rushed to the emergency room and asked for her. Yera checked the patient thoroughly and went through all his reports and upon confirming that an operation was needed she decided to perform the surgery. The patient needed bladder cystectomy and Yera then asked the staff to make necessary arrangements for the same. As expected the patient was stable and the operation was a success. After the operation Yera went to grab a coffee at the cafe on the ground floor of the hospital. Soon after Lyndon entered and saw her. "Good morning Dr. Song. Do you mind if I sit with you?" Lyndon asked with a smile. Yera smiled and answered, "Not at all CEO Chu." "You look exhausted. I guess you just finished surgery. If it''s too much you can always file for leave, take a vacation and have some rest." Lyndon noticed as he nodded and thanked the waiter who brought his coffee. Yera sighed and said, "Yes I will do that." The two were startled when Xander suddenly sat on the chair in between them at the cafe''s round table. "I heard my favorite doctor is here so I took some time to stroll around because staying inside the room is so boring." Xander nonchalantly commented as he sat comfortably on the chair with his dextrose stand at his side. Lyndon shook his head and scoffed, "That''s why you should leave the hospital as soon as possible since by simply looking at you it seems that you are too well already to stay any longer in the hospital." Xander ignored Lyndon and bluntly stared at Yera, "You should go back to Yang Globals once its back in operation darling¡­ Look how bad they treat you here? Is there any day that you don''t have an OT day? Geez, you work like a cow in here." Lyndon creased his forehead in irritation. ''Are you a mushroom?'' He wanted to ask Xander because the man suddenly appeared like one ruining his lovely morning with Dr. Song. Instead he looked at Dr. Song who seemed not bothered with how Xander called her ''darling'' just like that. Or perhaps she did not notice since Dr. Song seemed to be in deep thought at that time. "Mr. Yang, you''re not allowed to drink coffee since you have UTI¡­ We are still waiting for the urine culture sensitivity to give you appropriate antibiotics since you said you have allergies." Yera commented with raised eyebrows seeing the waiter served Xander coffee. Xander looked at Lyndon with an amusing grin as he said, "See that? My darling doctor is very concerned about my well being while you CEO Chu always want to kick me out without giving me complete treatment¡­" Lyndon was about to counter that sentence from Xander when Yera''s phone rang and she quickly stood up from her seat and left the two men. Both men watched Yera running to go up to attend the emergency. "Can''t she just walk when she has a call from emergencies. She might trip if she continues to run on heels." Xander muttered. And for the first time Lyndon commented in agreement, "I know right¡­" Xander creased his forehead, he stood up from his chair and said, "I should obey my doctor and not drink this coffee. It''s more awkward if I stay here drinking coffee with you Lyndon¡­" Xander even wriggled with a twitched face. Lyndon shook his head and unconsciously commented, "What a funny guy." Meanwhile, Yera was panting as she rushed towards the room of the patient she had just operated on. "Doc, his heart rate is going down." commented the nurse as she readied the defibrillators as instructed by Yera. After a few minutes of tense hard work, his vitals stabilized. Another day had passed and Yera received a complaint from the patient she had performed a surgery. The patient was accusing her of malpractice "Doc, the patient complained a lot. He said something was really aching in his lower abdomen. At the site of the operation." the nurse relayed. Yera wanted to double check the patient but he refused and asked for some other doctor to handle his case instead. The operation had been very smooth and was successful so Yera wondered where it went wrong. The case was transferred to Dr. Qing and it was found in the ct scan that there was a foreign object inside the patient''s body, near the operation site. Yera creased her forehead as she looked at the results of the ct scan. "I will need to re-open him¡­" Dr. Qing commented. Yera nodded. But the meeting inside the office of the Department of Surgery was interrupted when the hospital''s risk management team barged in with all the bosses of their department and looked for her. "What''s going on?" Yera asked as soon as they met the head of the risk management department in their receiving area. "Dr. Song we would like to invite you for some important talk because we have received a complaint of malpractice against you¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

There were a lot of opinions but could only be segregated in two. One was that Dr. Yera Song was too proud and that what happened with her being a perfectionist and scolding others for their small mistakes was a good lesson for her, while the others could not believe that something like that could happen to any patient whose surgery was handled by Dr. Song given how skilled she was and was considered as one of the best surgeons of her time. "It is the worst thing to happen with a patient. I can''t imagine myself undergoing a surgery and waking up with a needle inside my body!" commented one of the nurses as they talked about the hottest topic of investigation. "Dr. Song''s assistant that time was Dr. Moore and she said she only did the stitches to close the area so it''s impossible for her to leave a needle. I mean it''s more believable. Without the needle how can Dr. Moore have done the final sutures to close, right?" Xander on the other hand could just not believe what had happened. "Investigate everyone present in the OR that day. I want everyone''s profile who was with Yera during the operation!" Xander instructed Ralf at the other line. Yera was suspended and prohibited from doing any other operation because of the incident. What Xander found funny was the incident circulated and became known to everyone in no time as if someone intended to destroy Yera''s name in the medical society. But of course Xander blocked all such rumors with another rumor stating that Dr. Deyna Song was being framed by someone jealous of her popularity. At this point, he was thankful to Lyndon upon knowing that the latter was doing his best to contain the situation inside the hospital since the reputation of Life Hospital would be jeopardized too if this thing leaked outside the hospital. Dion went inside his room, he was doing the rounds on Yera''s patients lately until Yera was cleared from accusation. "How are you?" Dion asked seeing how restless Xander was. "How is Yera? I haven''t seen her for days." Xander complained. It had been two days already since he last saw his wife. Dion sighed and said, "She''s calm and I believe she knows what to do. She said she will solve everything on her own and reminded us to just stay put. She doesn''t want you to get involved since you''re from Yang Globals. If you will get involved and be discovered, her enemies can use your connection with her and there''s a high possibility that they will connect Yang Globals in this case." Yera called her and asked him to stay put in the hospital. She refused the idea of him going and staying with her in her condo saying they must take extra precautions and they must make sure that the two of them should not be seen together outside the hospital. Because even a single mistake could mean hitting two birds at the same time for whoever was the mastermind for framing her up. Xander made another frustrated sigh because he understood Yera''s point and unfortunately he too agreed with it. Meanwhile, Yera who was called once more inside the office of the risk management team for investigation was calm and demanded an audience. She clearly declared her stead that she wanted the investigation to happen in front of everyone, all the involved parties and other people who wanted to watch it. Rizie on the other hand was too furious as she waited outside the waiting area for Yera who was still inside the office of the risk management team. She kept throwing daggers on the staff inside the operating room she would come across with because she knew that one of them was surely the culprit, framing Yera for malpractice. But Yera seemed unaffected and only asked her for a favor to connect her to trusted investigators and police officers close to her brother. Meanwhile, the chairman called for an emergency meeting regarding the situation involving Dr. Deyna Song because it was not something to neglect since the hospital could face a possible lawsuit once the patient decided to bring the case under law. Jam with a smirk subconsciously muttered, "Just kick her out and it will solve everything." She did not know why but the thought of that Dr. Song leaving Life Hospital sounded like music to her ears. "No, we can''t do that without proving it was really her who committed a mistake." Lyndon disagreed because he strongly believed that Dr. Deyna Song was purposely being accused. Dr. Song handled a lot of surgeries and this kind of mistake seemed very unusual to happen from her side. "Isn''t she asking for an audience to clear things out, so let''s just give it to her," Jam nonchalantly commented. Everyone inside the meeting room agreed with Jam and in the end it was decided to conduct the hospital''s investigation and questioning as to how Dr. Deyna Song requested. ...¡­. "Are you confident there will be no loose ends? The police will now get involved in this! And why is she so calm and confident as if she holds something to prove her innocence¡­ If something goes wrong, I won''t pay you a single cent dammit!" complained Dr. Moore''s client on the other line. "Relax¡­ I always do a clean job, okay! Maybe she wants sympathy or asking for a police is an advantage for her when everyone finds out that she''s asking for one. It''s just for a show¡­ so that everyone thinks that she''s not guilty." barked Dr. Moore. She was getting irritated with her client. She never failed a damn job and she always did clean work. Her face crumpled. ''How dare that bullshit threaten me!'' she mused. If not only for the big sum of money involved she would have killed that client first! She received another call from the risk management team. "Alright no problem. I''ll be present tomorrow¡­" she answered the other line with a smirk. She had already received the letter a while ago that requested for her presence the next day, pertaining to the hospital investigation for the case upon request from Dr. Deyna Song. Dr. Moore creased her forehead. The only evidence Dr. Song could get was the camera inside the operating room but that was not even close enough to catch her playing her dirty trick on the patient. ''Dr. Deyna Song would surely go down tomorrow and that big sum of money would be mine. I wouldn''t even need to take further such clients with the amount of money I would get once Dr. Deyna Song gets kicked out and loses her license as a practitioner.'' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Like his wife suggested, Xander did behave well and remained in the vip room as a patient although he was dying to cuddle his darling already. He also heard that Keira asked for an audience tomorrow so the questioning regarding the surgery would be held at the conference room and everyone was allowed to watch it even the patients currently admitted in the hospital. The night came and Xander kept moving left and right on his bed. He couldn''t sleep at all. Yera already called him a while ago informing that she arrived safely in her condo and would soon prepare to sleep. He grabbed his mobile phone while thinking about what his wife was doing at that moment. "She''s probably done cleaning and changing into her sleepwear," he murmured. Xander crumpled his face as he stared at the ceiling of his room. How good was it lying on the comfortable bed with a good and nice room when you were not with the most important person in your life? Everything just felt empty! He raised his arm and hand where he held his mobile phone to dial the number of the person who could make him feel complete. Yera had just finished cleaning up and changing. She lazily lay on the bed and closed her eyes for some quiet time. She had a lot of things to do and this mess in the hospital dared to add up. She inhaled and exhaled to relax her body. She considered herself lucky when she did the operation because she managed to have a recording of the whole process. She had a habit of secretly recording the procedures whenever she performed surgeries to assess herself afterwards on how she had performed the surgery. She suddenly recalled to call her husband to inform him about it and of course to say good night because she was sure Xander was expecting it though she wanted to talk to him also since she missed him. Her day actually felt dull without seeing her husband or talking to him at least. Yera grabbed her mobile phone and was about to dial her husband''s number when her phone began to ring. A sweet smile curled up on her lovely lips seeing her husband''s caller id ''darling''. She quickly pressed the answer button. "That''s fast darling." Xander commented with a grin because his call was answered with only a ring. Yera chuckled and said, "I was about to call you too so¡­" Then she heard Xander release a sigh followed by, "I miss you so much¡­" "Me too¡­ Let''s wait until I wrap things up tomorrow." responded Yera as she continued to detail the plan and countermeasures she had for tomorrow. "After I settle everything tomorrow. I would start to haunt aunt Juliet as soon as possible. She has some emotional disorder so I think it will be effective in bringing out confession from her own mouth. I mean we should try the plan we used with Jane but this time we have to record everything as part of the evidence. That''s another option since it would be too hard to penetrate the mansion and install hidden cameras with the kind of tight security there." summarized Yera. Xander felt Yera had so much going on in her mind so he suggested, "Darling close your eyes for now. Just tonight relax your thoughts. Blank your head of everything except my handsome face¡­" Yera laughed and said, "You want me to only think of you and imagine your face? Hmm then what?" A naughty grin covered Xander''s face while he seductively whispered, "Think of the things that you want me to do to you¡­" Yera''s face flushed as she naively and bashfully commented, "Hey, stop that¡­", thinking Xander was starting to get e.r.o.t.i.c with his teasing voice. Xander''s crispy laughter roared the speaker while he said, "What darling? Alright let me revise in a wholesome sentence. What do you want me to do with you? Think of the things you want us to do together." Yera turned deep red with embarrassment and was relieved that Xander was not present in front of her, to see the reddening of her face. She laughed with her husband and realized how her life had turned upside down on a good day when Xander came into her life. She could not help but get confident with him by her side. She had this feeling that she could surpass every kind of hardship just by seeing his lovely smile everyday. "Hmm, I want to try a lot of things with you. Perhaps do a lot of sports - all kinds of them since I missed doing it before I met you. Or, may be read books together, clammed up in a blanket? Hmm, does that sound boring? Maybe kickboxing? Wrestling? Because of the busy schedule we both have not managed to do a lot of things together, and I want to experience everything with you by my side now." Yera commented but mostly the ideas were going into hibernation as of now because of the fact that Yera was still hiding her identity from the whole world. Then she suddenly thought, "Do you think I can finally come out as myself once we get aunt Juliet to confess and she is arrested?" "Hmm, yes darling if it''s her who is responsible for your abduction also. Though I want you to finally show your identity but still I think it won''t be safe until we capture the one who is responsible for your abduction because that person is the one who harmed and tried to kill you¡­" Xander explained. Then he realized, "Wait¡­ I said you have to think only about me¡­" "Like, how your husband is so desperate right now to go to you to kiss you hard and take you in his arms¡­" he added with a complaining tone. Yera smiled and suddenly whispered, "I love you. After tomorrow, feel free to do whatever you want¡­" Xander''s eyes blinked while he felt the excitement rushing through his body. His darling wife was such a tease without her even knowing! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She was nervous about the next day for unknown reasons. She got up from her bed and grabbed her mobile phone to call Dion. ''Maybe having some evening snacks with Dion will release some uneasy feeling.'' She thought. Dion''s mobile phone kept ringing only and that made her crease her forehead. She looked at the clock and it was still early for him to sleep. "What the heck is he doing right now?" Rizie mumbled as she grabbed her coat and some pocket money. Dion''s unit was not that far away so she decided to just wait for him at her favorite cafe in between their buildings. She tried to call him once more but Dion still did not answer. She proceeded to walk out from her building and headed towards the cafe, but she suddenly paused when she reached near the cafe. "Dion?" she whispered with knitted eyebrows. She was about to shout his name but halted when she saw a woman with him. It was Jane, coming out from the cafe side by side with Dion. "What''s this? Are these two together? Are they dating?" she panickedly muttered and stood rooted at her spot, she then moved a bit to the side and didn''t go towards the cafe to observe what the two would do next. Jane seemed to be bidding her farewell to Dion with her widest sweet smile pasted on her face as Dion called a cab for her. Rizie bit her lower lip seeing Dion smile back at Jane and opening the cab door for her. "What''s this? Why does it feel like something is pricking in my chest?" she unconsciously voiced out. The cab had already left and Rizie quickly turned around to go back, trying to escape Dion''s eyes, when she noticed Dion was about to look towards her direction. She had unsorted emotions at that moment and she did not want Dion to see that or else she would definitely look funny. Dion turned his head towards Rizie''s building thinking if the latter was still awake. He had left his mobile phone at his room when he left to meet Jane so he was not sure if Rizie had tried to contact him like she usually does at this hour. His eyebrows furrowed when he saw Rizie''s familiar figure walking not far from him. Well he was quite sure it was Rizie so he called out, "Riz!" But Rizie did not turn around as if she had not heard him so Dion ran towards her and called once more, "Riz!" ''Rizie runn!'' Rizie mused as she fastened her walking while her heart started to thump really hard. She was nervous too. ''What is this!'' she cried inside because she felt really weird. However, Dion caught her and grabbed her arm to stop her from almost running away from him. "Hey can''t you hear me? What''s going on? Are you running away from someone?" Dion asked in a row and he even looked around for anything suspicious, checking if Rizie was running to escape from someone. ''Yes, I''m running away from you,'' Rizie wanted to voice out as her face crumpled. "Are you alright?" she heard Dion ask her because Rizie was still nott facing him. Rizie released a heavy sigh before she turned her face to him and asked, "Let me go and you just continue with your date." Then her lips twitched as she scoffed, "I''ve been calling you, I called you several times and no wonder you''re not answering. Don''t worry I won''t disturb you ever again¡­" "Huh?" Dion was befuddled. It took a while before everything dawned on him. He unconsciously smiled and murmured, "Is that why you''re irritated? You saw me with Jane a while ago?" Rizie did not respond but her knitted brows and crumpled expressions answered it all. Dion''s smile suddenly disappeared when he realized something at that moment. "I don''t know why you''re acting strange with me for being close to other women. Can you tell me why?" Rizie seemed to cut her tongue out but she immediately composed herself and defended, "What are you saying strange? I am not acting strange at all. It''s just that I''m not used to you being like that. At Yang Globals, I was the only woman you would talk to and at Life Hospital you''re flirting with almost everybody¡­" "Riz, do you want me to stop talking to other women?" Dion nonchalantly asked. "I mean¡­ If we are in a romantic relationship, I will stop flirting of course but you said it yourself that we should maintain our relationship as friends only and to be honest it is getting hard for me¡­" Dion continued. He would burst out at any moment because he was really confused with Rizie''s reaction. He knew he was taking a risk if he continued further but he wanted to take that risk, at least to be honest with his feelings¡­ He had a confession that he was aching to make¡­ It was a dilemma for him to keep such feelings for too long. Rizie stared at Dion''s soft face with her mouth agape. ''What is he saying?'' she mused. Dion said it was hard for him being friends with her? Was it because she would always bug him even with unnecessary things? "Are you tired of me? Of being my friend?" Rizie whispered that made Dion crumpled his face. "Riz, what I''m saying is it''s hard because I like you more than just a friend¡­" Dion straightforwardly confessed. Dion knew Rizie was too shocked with what he said. He released Rizie''s arm before he added, "Sort out what it is that is in your heart Riz, ask yourself what you really want Riz. I''m also confused with the way you''re reacting towards me that I often mistaken it as jealousy. I sometimes feel like you also like me but then I know your goal is Rui¡­ But I want to be clear with you about my feelings and I really like you, not just as a friend but someone who can be my girlfriend." Dion was extremely nervous at that moment but at the same time he felt relieved that he finally let those words out. He only hoped that Rizie would not change. Being awkward and breaking their good friendship was the last thing he wanted to happen between them. However, he needed to gamble for love. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

A lot of curious employees who wanted to know what really happened were present too. And some gossip monger patients who had heard about it were also there including Xander of course. Jam creased her forehead as she observed Xander who sat in the front row near the center stage where all the staff were seated for questioning. The set-up looked like a courtroom with a huge audience or more like a debate with a panel of judges. She was with her father and Lyndon and seeing Xander sitting there with a solemn face, she raised an eyebrow. She really felt something was going on between CEO Yang and Dr. Song. Well she already heard that Dr. Song was CEO Yang''s favorite so he could possibly be pursuing her also as a woman. To start with the proceedings, the video inside the operating room was played, in it where she explained the procedure and how she conducted the surgery from the beginning upto the end could be seen but nothing else was clearly visible that could show any clue to whose negligence led to this disaster. There were a lot of questions with the other staff present inside and none had really noticed something unusual during the operation. It was becoming more difficult for the interrogating panel to decide whose fault was all this, although it was likely either any one of the two was responsible for the said negligence but the video captured was not good enough evidence to pinpoint who left that needle inside the patient''s body. "I told you, the only needle I held was the one that I used to close up the cut," Dr. Moore mumbled irritably as one of the risk management officers asked her about the needle she used.. Yera on the other hand had a cold expression on her face and she then signaled the operator to play another video she handed him. "There''s another video?" grasped the audience. "Unbeknownst to all, I have this habit of getting my own recording for all the surgeries that I perform which I often use to assess my procedures later¡­" Yera stated then she explained about the small hidden camera she often used to clip at the surgical light they used before every surgery she performed. "No wonder she''s a miraculous doctor and a perfectionist too. I mean she always checks her work for improvements," whispered some of the doctors in the audience because none of them had thought to do the same for improvement sake. The video was played from the start and it was focussed specifically at the site of the body where surgery was being performed. It was very clear and detailed. Dr. Moore noticed that Dr. Song was adjusting the light for too long but she never thought that she was putting a hidden camera that time. Dr. Moore quietly stood up, looking pale and restless. Xander immediately saw that¡­ Xander made sure that all security personnels were alert by giving an anonymous tip to Lyndon that the actual person responsible would attempt to escape the premises once Dr. Song showed her evidence so he should have the exits of the hospital locked down. In the video, Dr. Song had performed the surgery very well and most of the doctors who were present and able to watch it agreed that it was a flawless and a perfect surgery. In the video, the sound was very clear where Dr. Moore offered to complete the rest as an assistant by closing the site and finishing it up. And everyone stayed focused and everyone gasped at the next scene. "It was Dr. Moore!!!" one of the audience shouted. The video was clear enough, showing how Dr. Moore''s hand performed the trick smoothly. She intentionally put a needle inside the patient''s open body. Everyone looked at Dr. Moore with disgust. The evidence could not lie. "Why would she do that?" cried almost all of the audience. "Everything is fabricated!" shouted Dr. Moore. She always had a back-up plan but she did not expect the next thing that happened. Police arrived inside and it caused panic on Dr. Moore''s face. The police was the last thing she thought that would be present. ''Who the hell will get the police that instant?'' she mused as she glared at Dr. Song. "I submitted the evidence to the police and they silently conducted an investigation about you and it turned out you''ve already been on their wanted list. Changing identity, faking a lot of doc.u.ments and the worst, putting people''s lives in danger and even killing when ordered by people who hired you. You''re not a doctor but being a hitwoman best suits your job." Yera declared that really shocked a lot of people including Jam. If she was right, it was her mother who recommended Dr. Moore as a new doctor to hire. "Mother¡­" Jam whispered. "Shut up Jam¡­ Don''t ever mention to anyone that it''s your mother who had recommended her!" Jam heard his father whisper who then immediately grabbed his mobile phone to make a call. Dr. Moore panicked. She had never failed her dirty job like this before. She had to escape. She needed a hostage to escape the place. She was furious, she looked towards Dr. Song''s direction and quickly walked towards her."You bitch!" she angrily hissed. "I''m gonna kill you for this!" Xander saw that and immediately removed the dextrose that was connected to him to run up at the center. "Dr. Song!" He shouted seeing Dr. Moore grabbing something from under her lab gown. Yera heard her name and looked in that direction. She saw Xander running toward the stage and his gaze was focussed in the other direction. Everything happened too fast. Yera turned her head to see where Xander was looking as he ran towards her. Her eyes widened. Before Yera could run and escape, Dr. Moore came like lightning and grabbed her and aimed the sharp knife she held on Yera''s throat. The position was fatal and Yera knew that one wrong move from her would cost her life at that instant. Everyone was shocked with what was happening. The police were there, aiming their guns at Dr. Moore but of course Dr. Song was at higher risk being held as a hostage. Xander shouted, "No one will shoot!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

His face was too red in fury. "You''re dead!" he cursed as he glared at Dr. Moore who dared lay a finger on his wife. His heart almost skipped a beat as the knife pressed harder on Yera''s throat. "Put down all your guns or I will kill her. No one will get hurt if no one will block my way!" Dr. Moore shouted. She needed to escape because if even for once the police got a hold of her she would be as good as dead! "Follow what she said!" Xander shouted as he glared at the knife on Yera''s throat. Lyndon, signaled the security of the hospital too not to come close because Dr. Moore was pressing the knife hard on Dr. Song''s neck. Jam on the other hand, although startled, raised her eyebrows while watching how the CEO of Yang Globals seemed to be over reacting. Then she shifted her gaze at Lyndon and the same expression was visible. Both men were furious and worried. Dr. Moore moved backwards while pulling Yera to the exit of the conference hall. Xander''s heart was racing as he followed them, including Lyndon. "Don''t follow me!" shouted Dr. Moore at Xander. "I have to. Look I don''t have anything with me. I''m Xander Yang and you are holding my favorite doctor. Tell me what is it that you want? I can make it happen just make sure you will release her in one piece, without a single scratch." Xander tried to convince Dr. Moore with his soft words and poker face. Dr. Moore of course knew Xander Yang and his capabilities so she paused for a while as if thinking. "Just don''t hurt her. I will help you escape..." Xander said as he followed Dr. Moore who was still slowly walking backwards towards the exit door. "Who paid you to frame me?" Yera suddenly whispered. Dr. Moore laughed and said, "Do you really believe I will even bother to spill that out to you bitch?" Yera was trying to just divert Dr. Moore''s attention to slow her down from going out of the conference room because she happened to see Dion at the side corner of her eyes. He was almost near while Xander tried to talk more to Dr. Moore too, giving more time for Dion to get closer. "Here, just tell me all your requests and I will make all the arrangements for it¡­" Xander said as he grabbed his phone to make a phone call. But Dr. Moore panicked when she noticed the hospital''s security team moved and still aimed a gun towards her. Dion noticed one of the security team aimed and moved the trigger, he was about to fire his gun. He was horrified because there was a high possibility that Yera would be the one who could get hit by him. "No!" he shouted. Bang! That gunshot rang inside the conference room. Yera''s eyes widened as Dion''s body blocked her. Dr. Moore was caught off guard too and her grip at Yera loosened. Yera immediately moved and bit Dr. Moore''s arm with the knife and she immediately dodge under her elbow while she ran towards Dion. Then another shot was heard. Yera turned and saw Dr. Moore fall down on the ground. She heard screams while Lyndon shouted, "Who fired!!!" But her focus was on Dion because he was bathing in blood. She felt Xander checked her while Rizie was shouting for a medic so Dion could be transferred soon at the operating room. "Oh God! Why would you do that¡­ Are you stupid?" Yera scolded while she sobbed. "Nah this is nothing. I''m glad you''re safe¡­" Dion whispered with a smile. Rizie who rushed to them was crying hard too and Dion managed to chuckle, "Stop that. It''s just a scratch. Dr. Song will definitely fix it soon. You look ugly when you cry like that." "Yeah¡­ Hang in there and don''t dare leave me!" Rizie was stuttering as she cried hard, ignoring Dion''s joke about her being ugly. She was too worried seeing the blood all over his body. "I haven''t answered you yet¡­ You have to live to hear me answer you dammit¡­" Rizie continued. Dion left her last night saying she did not need to answer him now. But he only hoped that they could both keep their relationship like they used to if she found herself to see him only as a friend and nothing more than that. Before Dion could answer, he lost consciousness. Inside the operating room¡­ "He would need blood transfusion." Yera instructed as she focussed back in removing the bullet. After some time the nurse said, "Doc, the medical technologist couldn''t find a match for him yet." Yera''s forehead creased and asked, "Why? What''s his blood type?" "O negative Doc and this blood type is not available in our blood bank as well as any other blood bank in the city ." the nurse answered. Yera''s facial muscle flinched. Dion could receive blood only from O negative and it was a very rare type of blood, Rh negative bloods were already rare and O type is more difficult to find. Yera looked at Dr. Xiao and said, "I will remove the bullet and finish everything afterwards." Dr. Xiao nodded. After the critical part was done Yera left the OR to go to the blood bank. "Get my blood for Dr. Dion Chen. I''m O negative." She and her father were the only one who had it. Well her grandfather too and she heard that it was her family in their country only had this type. While blood was being drawn out from her, Yera was in deep thought. She already noticed that Dion had a lot of similarities with her father, especially the facial features and his expression. Could it be that Dion was her father''s son? Or her grandfather''s somehow? She also could not deny the fact that she had a strong connection and a kind of bond with Dion. Mostly, why would Dion save her? Blocking the bullets for her. Yes, they were close but it never occurred to her that Dion would be willing to even sacrifice his life for her. She did not know why but Yera was having a hunch so she requested a sample from Dion for DNA testing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She knew the password to his entrance as it was not the first time that she had been there. They both knew each other''s password because they were like the best of friends. "Oh God, please¡­" she muttered as tears started to form once more in her eyes. She was too worried and felt scared for some unknown fear, though Yera had already confirmed to her that Dion had already passed the critical condition and would soon be transferred to the recovery room. She immediately ran to Dion''s condo when she heard that he might regain consciousness anytime, to get some of his things that he might need while he stayed at the hospital. Wiping the tears in her eyes, Rizie walked towards Dion''s room. Although she had entered Dion''s condo several times for a quick snack or sometimes for a meal with him, she never had the chance to see Dion''s bedroom. As expected, it was very neat and clean unlike hers. Dion was a very organized person too. She immediately opened his closet to get his personal things like underwear, comfortable shirts and shorts, towel and other things. She creased her forehead when she noticed the other drawer that was transparent too where his small towels were kept perfectly arranged in neat stacks. "Are those handkerchiefs?" she mumbled. She did recall Dion often used a handkerchief so she grabbed some and somewhat dropped it. "Tsk!" Rizie fuzzed on her clumsiness while she bent down to pick up the handkerchief. She grabbed them but paused as her brows furrowed. "What''s this?" she whispered seeing the same three tulips embroidery in warm colors of red, yellow and pink. She quickly stood up and checked all the handkerchiefs and to her surprise they were all the same. Suddenly something dawned on her and flashbacks of the day when Dion asked her if the man who offered her the handkerchief was not Dr. Dee, danced in front of her eyes. She knew Dion often used handkerchiefs but he probably folded it in such a way that the embroidery was always hidden, so she did not notice it ever. Then she realized, she never saw even once Dr. Dee using a handkerchief. Both men wore eyeglasses too. ''Could it be?'' Rizie''s heart raced. That instant she grabbed her mobile phone and called Dr. Rui Dee who was still abroad. "Rizie? What is it? Is Dion alright?" Dr. Dee asked. What had happened already came to his knowledge and he was extremely worried for Dion who was close to him and was like a younger brother. "He is safe now Doc. I just have an important thing to ask you Doc if you don''t mind. Did you happen to lend your lab gown to Dion sometimes when he was still working in Yang Globals?" Rizie asked and then mentioned the date to be more precise. Although a bit confused with the out of the blue questions from Rizie, Rui still answered, "Yeah¡­ I do recall that I lent Dion one of my lab gowns because he was a mess at that time and he needed to go for his rounds. He ran out of gowns and had no spare one with him, and so¡­" "Okay Doc thank you so much. Please always take care there. I''m sure Big Bro Xander will keep you updated on the situation here. Thank you Doc," Rizie immediately cut the call. She thought she was a quick witted person but how come important things such as this did not hit her. ''Mr. Handkerchief is Dion.'' The man she was looking for was Dion and not Dr. Rui. "Stupid Rizie," she mumbled while she smiled and cried at the same time. As soon as she packed Dion''s things she immediately ran back to the hospital. She sat like a crazy person in the cab, even the driver was looking at her suspiciously because she would cry and laugh at the same time. "Miss are you alright?" asked the cab driver. Rizie suddenly laughed as she sniffed. The cab driver cringed and scratched his head. "I''m alright Sir. Please don''t mind me¡­ I''m just having some silly thoughts about the current events in my life¡­" Rizie answered and the cab driver understood. Rizie heaved a long deep breath as she wiped her tears. When Dion was shot, she felt her world crumble down as she watched him fall on the ground. She was trembling as she ran towards him and saw the blood on his body. She did not know what she would do if something happened to him. She was too devastated just seeing him in danger. Then she realized how important Dion was for her. She often brushed those thoughts away because she wanted to protect the good friendship they had, but at that critical moment she realized that life was really short. That instant, she could lose Dion without telling him what she truly felt for him. So while she waited outside the operating room for the result, she vowed to herself that she would no longer have any reservations about their relationship. She would definitely tell and let Dion know that she also liked him more than friends. She never expected to discover though that Dion was the same man she adored before, the man who lent her his handkerchief and whose simple words encouraged her during her distressed time. She couldn''t wait to see Dion. She wanted to be the first person he saw as soon as he woke up. "Sir, can we go faster? I''m in a hurry¡­" Rizie requested the cab driver who complied and drove faster. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie arrived at the hospital and saw Yera earnestly watching over him. "Doc, I will take care of Dion. Please go home and rest¡­ You''ve been through a lot today and you look so exhausted." Rizie murmured while she arranged Dion''s things. A lot had happened that day. It was already late and Yera did look worn out. Rizie saw Yera holding Dion''s hand while she wiped her face. Rizie did not notice that Yera was crying. "Will you look after him well Rizie?" Yera said in a hoarse voice and with a smile as she stood up from the chair beside Dion''s bedside. "Yes I will, so don''t worry too much¡­" Rizie reassured her. Yera let out a long bone weary sigh as she walked out from the hospital. June was waiting for her at the parking lot. Xander had called her up a while ago informing that he had gotten himself discharged from the hospital to take care of the whole matter regarding Dr. Moore. He wanted to find out everything and reach to the bottom of the incident. He strongly believed that the shooting was intentional to totally shut Dr. Moore and hurt her at the same time. Life Hospital was back to normal as if nothing had happened that day. Dr. Moore had died during the operation and Yera no longer cared about her anymore because she was focussed on saving Dion and making sure that he was not harmed in any way and came out of his critical condition as soon as possible. But her husband would definitely get a hold on the situation to squeeze the truth out of the guard who shot at them. ........ Xander was already at Yera''s unit, waiting for his wife''s arrival. He clenched his fist while he reviewed the report sent by Ralf. The security man who fired the shot was held in for questioning already, but was soon released because he claimed that he only fired the shot as a part of his duty and that his aim was to shoot Dr. Moore. But Xander was quite sure and adamant on his belief that the Go''s had planned all this and that they wanted to kill Yera as well as Dr. Moore. "I will make sure you will all pay for this," he jeered. Though Yera was not hurt in the end, but even the thought that she could get hurt badly and was the target of the bullet fired, made his nerves explode! He immediately called Ralf and instructed his team to proceed in a more aggressive way. He would make sure none would get away for trying to harm his wife. June called him to inform him that Yera had already left the hospital so Xander immediately prepared a warm relaxing bath for his wife. Yera arrived home and he immediately received her with a warm and tight hug. He took her bag from her hands and helped her to take off her clothes. Yera managed to smile and said, "I''m not a baby¡­ I can manage to take off my clothes darling." Xander pouted his lips as he continued to undress his wife. "I have prepared a relaxing bath for you darling." Xander complained as he did not let Yera move even a finger on her own. He even tied up Yera''s hair and carried her inside the bathroom. Yera instantly felt relaxed seeing the scented candles, hearing the good music and smelling the relaxing aroma that came from different petals from her bath tub. "What would I do without you?" she mumbled with her eyes closed while she felt Xander massage her shoulders and neck with essential oil. Xander smiled widely with those simple words. He felt so happy flying at cloud nine. He wanted to join his wife in the tub of course, but he controlled himself because he wanted her to just relax for tonight, to have her mind at ease at least for one night. "Darling do you want me to put a relaxing face mask on you?" Xander whispered. "Hmm, uhuh. Thank you darling," Yera sluggishly answered. Xander immediately prepared it and gently put one on his wife''s face. "Darling, I had one of your subsidiaries conduct a DNA test for me. The result will probably be up by tomorrow. Did you know that Dion''s blood type is the same as mine? Same with my dad and grandpa." Yera muttered. Xander gulped. He contemplated on what to say but one thing was sure. Yera would soon find out that she and Dion were connected by blood. He heard his wife let out a soft low chuckle while she continued, "Do you know that I''m somehow excited? I actually... I actually want the result to be positive. I want Dion to be my family, because I do feel like he is one¡­ He''s always been good to me like an older brother, though he is younger than me in age. How I pray that we are siblings or maybe he is like my uncle if he happens to be born with my grandpa if he is not born to my dad." Yera''s tears unconsciously fell from her eyes¡­ She considered herself very lucky of course for having the Yangs but the thought of having a family like Dion was like a blessing to her because she had no family, real family by blood that she could turn to. "He is your brother¡­" Xander suddenly confessed. Yera flinched when she heard his words, then moved and sat properly, removed the face mask and turned to look directly at Xander. "What do you mean?" Yera whispered. Xander sighed before he detailed everything to Yera including Dion''s request to Xander about not disclosing it to her because Dion wanted to tell it himself. That instant Yera burst out in loud cries, both tears of joy and sympathy for her brother. Xander immediately hugged his wife, giving his wide shoulders for her to cry to her heart''s content. How he hoped that it would be the last time he witnessed his wife crying hard like that. Now Yera knew why Dion was always there for her but she did not know why Dion kept this important matter hidden from her all this time. "Why kept it so long from me?" Yera helplessly whispered. "I''m not sure too darling why but once he wakes up you can ask him yourself." Xander replied as he consoled his wife. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie stayed with Dion and didn''t leave his side even for a minute, she even slept on the chair beside Dion''s bed with her head leaning and resting on Dion''s bedside. She stayed like that for hours when Dion finally woke up. He still felt numb. He knew he was shot but luckily he was still alive. He gulped and turned his head. He smiled seeing Rizie sleeping at his side. Her curly hair was covering half of her pretty face. She was tightly holding his left hand and it made him happy, whereas he felt butterflies in his stomach. He silently chuckled at his own silly thought. He raised his right arm and hand to clear out the hair strands that hindered his eyes to fully see Rizie''s sleeping face but Rizie moved and slowly opened her eyes. "Oh thank God you''re awake! How are you feeling? Are you hurting somewhere? Are you hungry? Oh wait I''m not sure if you''re allowed to eat. Ahm hold on I will call the doctor!" Rizie murmured in a row as she quickly stood up but Dion held her wrist before she could leave. "I''m a doctor Riz. No need to call them. I''m fine and stable. Relax. I''m not allowed to eat yet ''till I fart¡­" Dion calmly muttered. Rizie sat back on her chair as her eyes started to well up once more because of the tears that immediately poured out from her eyes. "You''re really well now...:" she mumbled with tears of joy and gratefulness. Dion grinned and said, "Shhh¡­ Stop crying now. By the way, I remembered what you said, I have to live to hear your answer so I fought hard to breathe. So here I am very well alive." Dion said it in a jest but he meant every word. Rizie bit her lips while her face flushed. She promised she would tell Dion how she felt the moment he opened his eyes so she directly said, "I like you so keep on breathing!" Dion was totally caught off guard and with mouth agape muttered, "Huh?" "What I''m saying is I like you too more than a friend¡­" Rizie repeated with her head slightly bowed down because she felt too shy and she knew her face was too red because of embarrassment. Dion, who was very startled by the sudden confession from Rizie, finally got a hold of himself and asked, "Did I really hear it right? I mean, the feeling is mutual? You really like me too?" Rizie did not say a word but bashfully nodded. Dion suddenly moved but flinched, "Ouch!" as the pain struck him. "What? What happened?" Rizie worriedly asked as she stood up and checked on Dion closely. "Is there something hurting you?" asked Rizie whose face was too close to Dion. "Uh¡­" Dion answered with a nod. "Where?" murmured Rizie who turned deep red seeing Dion was staring at her lips. She suddenly realized that she was leaning too close at him. She was about to pull back but she felt Dion''s arm pulling her. Rizie closed her eyes and just like in movies she expected Dion to kiss her on her lips. It would be her first kiss if that happened. She could feel the racing of her heart, the mad thumping of her heartbeats in her chest. She felt Dion''s lips but not on her lips. He kissed her on her forehead instead. Rizie opened her eyes and saw Dion''s smiling face. "Thank you, for telling me what you truly feel." Dion whispered. He actually wanted to kiss Rizie on her lips but he did not want to rush things and besides he wanted to formally court her and ask for her permission to be his girlfriend. Rizie slowly distanced herself while she whispered, "I was so scared when you got shot and at that moment I realized how much you mean to me¡­" Dion pursed his lips and complainingly mumbled, "Do you mean it takes a gun shot for you to be honest with what you feel. I mean what if I was not shot? Would you never tell your feelings to me?" Rizie pouted her lips and countered, "How about you? Until when did you plan to hide it from me?" This time Dion''s forehead furrowed. "Huh? Hide what?" Rizie twitched her mouth while she reached for the paper bag and pulled out one handkerchief from it to show to Dion. Dion''s eyes widened while he looked at his handkerchief. He did not need any explanation because he already grasped the situation that Rizie probably went into his room to get things he might need. And thus, he had been discovered. He did not know what to say so he just scratched his head while he looked at Rizie with a guilty plea on his face. Seeing Dion''s face Rizie arched a brow and scoffed, "You didn''t have any plans at all to tell me the truth, right? Besides I clearly recalled that you said Dr. Dee was such an unlucky man¡­" Dion''s facial muscles flinched hearing Rui''s name so he asked, "How about Dr. Dee? Does it mean you no longer like him?" "Of course I still like him¡­" Rizie intentionally hanged her words and intently observed Dion''s reaction. She tried her best to control her laughter seeing the daggers Dion''s eyes just threw at her. "But only as a friend¡­" Rizie burst in laughter and pinched Dion''s burning cheeks. "I''m not yet finished with my words but look at how you already killed me with your glaring stare?" Rizie said, still laughing. Dion pursed his lips and signaled Rizie to come closer. Although confused Rizie did and everything happened so fast. The last thing she knew was Dion''s lips was on hers. And it was moving, Dion''s lips. Rizie opened her mouth to say something but was outran by Dion''s tongue. The kiss left her breathless and while panting she heard Dion mutter in his hoarse voice, "Joke again like that and I will make you gasp for air over and over again¡­" ''Then I should joke more!'' Rizie mused with a smirk. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Are you sure we can trust them?" Xander reconfirmed as he cooked breakfast. Yera picked out a few of her trustworthy staff. She was planning to meet them and reveal her true identity, and seek their help and assistance to penetrate Han''s Ancestral Mansion. Yera strongly believed that she could trust them because she had helped those people a lot when she lived there, so, Yera met them one by one. She told them all the truth about Juliet and her grandfather''s death and asked them to help her, she even offered a good sum of money in return for their help but they all refused saying that seeing her alive and well was more than enough for them. Their affection and loyalty truly touched Yera''s heart. After another day¡­ Xander''s team finally received the information of a request for fumigation at Han''s Ancestral Mansion¡­ They had actually managed to infest the mansion with a lot of pests that were caught with days of hard work by Xander''s security personnel in disguise and were spread with the help of some household staff among the helpers that Yera had contacted. Yera and Xander''s team now got the opportunity to penetrate the Han''s Mansion in disguise as the pest control service provider. He had used a lot of connections and asked favors from his many connections that he had never done before, just to make sure that everything fell in the right place. ''No room for mistakes'' was his motto just like Yera when she was inside the operating room. They must pull the right strings at the right time with the right strength to get what they wanted from their next target - Juliet Go. As he suspected, it was Juliet Go who had instructed the security personnel to fire the shots. But even if the guard confessed, his altered statements were not alibi enough and could not be used in the court to bring down the Gos. So he unwillingly supported the use of Yera''s ghost technique once again, to make things more realistic and also to make Juliet spill out all the truths. They also consulted Rui, who guided Yera on how to put more psychological pressure on her aunt and also a few more tricks that he was well versed with as a psychologist. There was a high chance they could get confession from Juliet Go using those techniques. Xander set up a meeting with some important person for Roy Go at that time while they managed to keep Jam away from home too by engaging her into a meeting at that same time. It was the Sy''s Law Firm that offered to host a fundraising program for Life Hospital because of Xander''s internal request of course. As Xander''s family lawyer, he particularly requested Liam to make sure that Jam would be in the meeting for a certain time when Yera and the team entered Han Mansion. Every movement of the people in and outside of the mansion was well monitored. Yera sat in the back seat of the van that carried the staff of the pest control company. That van carrying Yera arrived at Han Mansion and entered inside the large main gate after the security approval by the security guard of the mansion. Yera knew every corner of this mansion and she was quite sure everything had stayed the same as told by her people who still worked inside the mansion. She was wearing a one piece jumpsuit, black coloured that was the uniform of the whole team but beneath it was her costume props that she needed for her haunting act. The whole team also took their positions and requested all others to stay out of the mansion for a while as pest control was to be conducted soon. Juliet was the last one to be informed about going out, by one of the maids who was helping Yera. Juliet was going out of her room with her book to read it in the garden while the fumigation would be ongoing but then she paused seeing smoke coming out from somewhere. "What the heck is this? Have they already started with me still being inside?" she irritatingly exclaimed. She was about to shout for their butler when she suddenly froze. Her eyebrows furrowed and was followed by the widening of her eyes. Yera was walking towards her enveloped in smoke, as if coming out of that smoke, with one of her familiar sharp red dresses but then blood suddenly started spilling from her lips. Juliet shouted for her helpers. She blinked her eyes several times but it was still the same, Yera was actually walking towards her. "Auntie, help me and grandpa¡­" she heard Yera plead several times. "Grandpa is missing you, he is waiting for you¡­" Yera continued. That instant Juliet snapped, "Father? Why would father wait for me? He never loved me and so I gave him what he deserved already!" Then she laughed out loudly and added, "Tell him not to disturb me again or else I will have to kill him all over again." "Right¡­ You killed him¡­" Yera mumbled. Juliet''s forehead creased as she looked around as if checking if there were people around them then with a wide grin she whispered, "Shhh¡­ No one knows about it¡­" Then Juliet started talking nonstop about her heart aches and how she saved Old Master Han from his sufferings by ending his life by her own hands. "She''s really a psycho lunatic¡­" Vin mumbled as he watched the video while doing his work in altering all the cctv footages inside the Han Mansion. The smoke actually had an added medicine given by Rui that would make a person blurt only the truth because they felt they were in some kind of a dream and not in reality. Yera also used some hypnosis techniques on her during the confrontation as taught by Rui. This was the only start of Juliet Go''s nightmare. After some time, Juliet Go was awakened by one of her maids. "Madame, the pest control personnels are waiting so they can start with fumigating¡­" Juliet was sweating profusely as she looked around and mumbled, "I saw Yera. Have you seen her? Did any of you see her here? Search the mansion, search each and every corner of the property and find her!" she exclaimed. Everything felt real. Was she just dreaming? It had been twice already! "Where''s my medicine?" she asked hysterically while she rose up and checked her medicine cabinet. Maybe she should see her doctor more often. She was getting scared that she would soon become crazy with her hallucinations lately. But why would she see Yera? "That bitch! It''s all her fault!" Juliet Han furiously hissed, pertaining to Dr. Deyna Song. She felt haunted ever since Dr. Deyna Song had arrived in their hospital because her face reminded her of Yera. She ran out of her room to check the area where she had seen Yera. The maid helping Yera kept observing Juliet, hoping that their Madame would not get suspicious about anything. A few of them managed to stall time with others, to make them stay outside and not to enter the mansion, while Madame Yera performed her plan. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She could see her niece, Yera, everywhere she went, in the cafe, supermarket and she even saw her standing outside her favorite salon as if she was waiting for her. She even chased after Yera outside the salon but in the end she only looked like a crazy person frantically running on the streets. She took two tablets of her medicine during breakfast, afraid that she would be sent for rehabilitation once again to cure her mental disorders. "Mom are you alright?" Jam worriedly asked. She could see the same symptoms that her mom had once before so she was worried. Her mom once had a mental illness, she even started hallucinating then, but was healed after the rehabilitation program their grandfather had put her into and for years she didn''t suffer with any problem or showed any such symptoms, but now she suddenly started taking her medication and that too in high doses. Juliet gave her a reassuring smile and nodded during their breakfast at home but remained quiet otherwise. Roy Go noticed it too that recently his wife always looked weary so he called her Doctor to visit Juliet in the afternoon that day. But what really shocked the Go Family that morning was the unexpected visitors who landed in their house with no further notice. "Sir, there are policemen outside. They are looking for Madame Go." one of the maids said. Roy Go and Jam were completely shocked to hear that. "What?!" Roy Go exclaimed. ''Why would the police look for my wife?'' He mused then looked at Juliet and said'' "Stay here. I will go and talk to them." He immediately rose up from his chair and walked to their living room. He knew it was his wife''s plan to plant Dr. Moore in the hospital and frame Dr. Song. He clearly made sure that he wrapped up everything well to protect his wife from any kind of danger. ''What is the police doing here now?'' he mused. Jam looked at her mom who seemed to be out of herself. Her mom was zoning out, staring only in a particular direction. "Mom? Are you alright?" This time Jam walked beside her mom and bent on her knees to look at her closely. "I keep seeing Yera dear. She follows me everywhere I go. She said, father is waiting for me¡­ Maybe that''s why the police are here..." mumbled Juliet with her restless face. While her hand trembled. Jam saw that and held it while she gently squeezed them. ''What are you saying mom?" She whispered. Her heart ached seeing her mom acting strange once more. Juliet stared at her daughter with her rounded eyes. Fear, resentment and guilt, all emotions could be clearly read in Juliet''s eyes. "I killed him already so why would your grandpa ask for me again? Haven''t I made his sufferings less by sending him where his own son and granddaughter are? Why would he still ask for me?" Juliet continued with a strange look on her face to her daughter. Jam was mortified with what she heard and said, "Mom, shhh don''t say that. No one killed grandpa. Stop saying that nonsense." She looked around and sighed when she confirmed that no one was around except her and her mom. That instant she knew her mom had another outbreak of her mental disorder. So she panickedly called her doctor to visit and check her mom that instant. Unconsciously, Jam was already tearing up. ''Did her mom really kill grandpa?'' she nervously mused. She wanted to erase what she thought but the look on her mother''s face was confirming it. When she was a kid, she could not forget an important incident she witnessed. Her mom was the one she last saw with Yera when Yera got lost in the woods when she was six. She remained quiet about it then as she grew she realized that her mom might have intentionally left Yera to get lost in the woods but she was confused though because her mom was very kind to Yera so she brushed those thoughts off. Then all she remembered was her grandfather had her mom kept in a rehabilitation for quite some time after the said incident. When her mom was back, she was very normal, loving and caring that she could not believe she had any of those mental disorders that her dad and grandfather told and warned her about. Her mom gave her everything and she was the best mom for an adopted child like her. "Mom¡­ Stay with me. Stop spacing out. Don''t say unnecessary things. Your daughter is here with you¡­" Jam consoled, sobbing. She could hear the loud voice of his father who was stopping the police from taking her mom away. "What absurd nonsense is that? Who registered the Goddamn report against my wife? I will call my attorney! Don''t you dare lay a finger on my wife!!!" Roy shouted as he called their family attorney. "The warrant of arrest for your wife is valid Sir. If you want you can have it verified but right now we need to take your wife away with us. The charge on her is the murder of Old Master Han while an attempted murder for Yera Han, and Dr. Moore. There is also evidence that she''s connected to Dr. Moore¡­" the police officer explained. Roy Go could not do anything while his wife was taken away. Their attorney confirmed the charges and his wife would be under arrest as the trial proceeds. "Yera? I did not kill Yera! And my father? I did not kill him! I only saved him from his suffering!!!" shouted Juliet while the police took her. Yes she killed her father because he was suffering enough but she did not kill Yera Han! "Dear¡­ Please don''t say a word just remain calm and quiet. I will take care of everything so don''t utter any words under their pressure. Let our attorney handle the situation''" Roy calmed Juliet. He clenched his fist because he did not expect that Ryu Ken would dig in this case. Why would the Kens get themselves involved when they were not related at all with the Hans? ''Why would he be concerned with Hans?'' "It''s the Kens who filed the case! Look into it!" Jam heard her father shout on the phone, while she kept on crying. She somehow knew about her mother''s involvement with Dr. Moore but Yera and her grandfather, she could not believe that her mother would involve herself in killing the two of them. She clearly heard her mother insisted she had nothing to do with Yera''s killing and killing her grandfather was just an accident that she did it out of her concern for grandfather''s suffering. She did it out of her love for her father. That was what her mom kept on shouting while the police dragged her out. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dion asked Rizie pertaining to Yera because it had been five days already and he still had not seen Yera even once. He was about to get discharged from Life Hospital that day so he wondered how come his sister never visited him even once. "Yes, she''s fine. They executed the plans in a rush. You know how angry that clingy possessive husband of your sister was, that he wanted everyone down in a week. She told me to tell you to focus on recuperating and they will all visit you once you are discharged." Rizie explained and Dion nodded. He understood that the situation was crucial at that point. Rizie on the other hand smirked because Yera and Xander were already at Dion''s condo waiting to welcome him home. Rizie was too happy for Dion that she barely controlled herself from spilling everything out to Dion especially the fact that Yera finally came to know that they were siblings and that she was too glad to have found a brother for herself. She in fact wanted to come and meet him as soon as she found out about it, but they had to immediately execute their plan and expose Juliet Go. Later Xander suggested preparing a surprise for Dion and so Yera controlled her longing to meet her brother. Rizie switched the television on upon receiving a message on her phone. It was her brother confirming that justice for Yera''s grandfather would soon be served. The whole case was all over the news. The Kens had it all covered in the news. The arrest of Juliet Go for murdering Old Master Han and her involvement with the current shooting at Life Hospital. "Hmm¡­ She will now soon disclose her identity to everyone¡­" Rizie mumbled. The Kens would hold a press conference very soon and tell the details and the reason why their family got involved with the Han''s case. "I bet the Go''s asses are in turmoil now. All their assets will freeze soon. It''s a good thing Yera finally asked for help from the Kens who treat her like a real family¡­" Dion commented because he was aware of how Yera was linked with the Kens. "Yeah¡­ The Kens is a powerful family too and it''s best that they are the ones who help her in the open. That way the Yangs won''t be bugged too much by the press, media and the public¡­" Rizie seconded. She heard Xander was uneasy with this idea at first, because of course as Yera''s husband he should be the one doing things even in the open but Ryu Ken insisted that it would not be a wise idea given the sour history the Yang Globals group and Life Hospitals group had¡­ Things could be easily misinterpreted and blown out of proportion against the Yangs. The safest choice was having the Kens get involved in everyone''s eyes while Xander worked in the shadow. Dion did not notice that he was already tearing with joy. Finally, her sister would get the justice she deserved. His sister had been through a lot. Rizie saw Dion was crying so she immediately wiped those tears away from his eyes and embraced him. "Let''s get you ready to go home and congratulate your sister. Though it''s still early because Juliet Go insisted that she is not responsible for Yera''s abduction." Rizie whispered as she gently patted Dion''s back. Rizie processed Dion''s discharge formalities and stayed with the latter. It was late at noon when they finally left the hospital. "Do you want me to move in with you for just a week so I can take care of you properly?" Rizie timidly offered while she helped and assisted Dion to walk in the hallway going to his condo. "How about you move in with me for good." Dion fervently suggested. Rzie halted and with rounded eyes looked at Dion directly. "Since when did you become this shameless Mr. Dion Chen!" she burst out, as if scolding Dion for being vulgar. Dion reddened and scratched his head. "I''m just saying it, if you want to then you can. Don''t worry I do not attack anyone that easily.." he defended and urged Rizie to continue to walk to his condo. "Are you ready?" Rizie asked before they entered the door. "Huh?" Dion asked with a confused crumpling of his forehead. Rizie gave him a wink before she opened the door and helped Dion inside. As soon as they were inside, Dion heard a cheer, "Welcome back!!!" It was Xander and Yera. He looked at his condo unit that had been decorated as if it was his birthday party. Yera immediately ran to him and hugged him. "I''m really glad you are fine now my little brother." Yera whispered and even kissed Dion''s cheek that made Xander''s jaw drop. "Wait why did he need a kiss? He''s too old already for a sibling''s kiss," Xander protested, which made everyone laugh. "Wait, what did you call me? Did you say little brother?" Dion asked. Yera nodded and smiled. "Yes, I did call you little brother. Dion, I found out the truth because we both have the same blood type. Do you know that''s very rare to happen right? And so I had a hunch that we are related, besides you look so much like our father with that stiff smile on your cute face. By the way I have managed to steal the photo albums from Han Mansion to show you how our father looked." "But, hey wait... I''m actually a bit disappointed in you. I mean how dare you hide such an important matter from me for so long?" Yera continued. Xander shook his head as a grin escaped his lips. "Geez my darling¡­ Can you at least let the patient sit first and breathe? Let him absorb things first, before you bombard him with questions." "Sorry I''m just too excited.." Yera answered with pouty lips. Yera guided and helped Dion to sit and sat down beside him. She then gently held his hands and gazed at him with eyes full of affection and concern. Rizie laughed seeing Xander''s entire concentration was at their hands. "Come here and help me get some food Dr. CEO. Let them be clingy for a while. They are siblings after all, okay!" Rizie scolded and reiterated. "Yeah I almost forgot." Xander realized. He was just not used to Yera getting touched by other men, and found it impossible to allow any other man hold her hands like that, except him of course. Well Dion was an exemption since they were siblings. Dion was a bit shy but then he told Yera what kept him away from telling her the truth. "Silly! I was still young then and I didn''t mean those words¡­ Of course I''m glad to find out that I have a real family like you with me. I''m really happy to have a real brother Dion. Once everything is settled, I want you to stay with me and use our father''s surname. You''re a Han and I''m sure father will be glad to know this wherever he is. Now quick, tell me the whole story about your birth¡­" Yera said. Dion could not help but cry seeing Yera was crying while she caressed his hair and gently patted him as if she was saying he was a good boy. Then he narrated everything from the start how his mother told him what happened and how he was born in this world. Yera on the other hand was glad that Dion grew up with enough love and a good mother. Rizie and Xander sighed and both smiled at each other as they prepared the food for dinner. Surely they would have a long night ahead. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"You must call for a board meeting. Everyone was unhappy with how they worked and handled the hospital and wanted the Gos out from their positions. It''s a good opportunity for you to fully take over the hospital management. Everyone wants you to take Chairman Go''s position. You should do it right away before the Kens schedule their press conference. I don''t feel good about all this fiasco by the Kens. I mean it''s like they are saying the Han''s are their responsibility and the way Ryu Ken announced it was like it includes the assests Old Master Han and Dr. Yera Han had left." Dr. Dwayne voiced out while he drank tea in Lyndon''s office. Lyndon sighed and had a silent agreement with his friend. Indeed, he should move fast since luck was already in his hands. The Go''s were finally getting their own dose of medicine. Who would have thought that Old Master Han was murdered? No wonder he himself was not convinced about how he suddenly died though he was extremely eager to find his granddaughter. Lyndon had the impression that the old man would not die until he found out the whereabouts of his granddaughter and brought her back home alive. He then called Shan to immediately call the board members. He should take quick action and wrap things up quickly. Yera on the other hand was well aware of Lyndon''s moves with the help of Shan whom she met and had revealed her original identity. She was with Shan for years and she knew that Shan''s loyalty would always be on her side. Today she went back to the Ken Mansion with Xander to discuss the situation and she wanted to have the press conference the same day as the board meeting called by Lyndon. Old Master Ken immediately hugged Yera as soon as they arrived at the Ken Mansion. "So , finally you found out your real identity, my child. I am really glad that you thought of us when you needed help in your fight." Then Old Master Ken gently pushed Yera to turn and look at her husband. "Hmm, and I see you''ve been in good hands. Mr. Xander Yang¡­ It''s nice to see you again." Old Master Ken greeted Xander. The two families, the Ken and the Yangs, usually met in the yearly banquet to commemorate their great ancestors, Yao Yuren and Wei Xianyi. However, they were not usually close and would only casually greet each other at parties and events. Xander slightly bowed his head and smiled to show respect for the old man who treated his wife like a family. He had heard a lot of good words about the Ken Family. He was also aware that the family had their own score with the underworld that was already settled before. "Ryu will take care of everything so don''t worry. Those responsible for your mistreatment will go behind bars for sure¡­ For now, let us all enjoy the dinner my great granddaughters-in-law prepared for us." Old Master Ken reassured before he held Yera''s hand so they could all share a wonderful dinner together. Xander noticed that the Ken Family was huge compared to theirs since he only had his dad and Yera while the Kens¡­ Well, Old Master Ken had three children and three grandsons who had their own families now. Surprisingly they all lived together at Ken''s Ancestral Mansion and it was very rare for such an elite family to have a good relationship with each other like theirs. "Hmm, I bet you''re quite surprised seeing us all in large numbers here. Well our family is still incomplete since our other aunt and uncle are out of the country," Dean, Ryu''s cousin commented with a wink. The huge table was almost completely occupied. "The family that eats together stays together son¡­" Old Master Ken interrupted and Xander smiled in agreement because his dad also taught him the importance of a family. Xander lovingly looked at Yera. Soon they would build their own family and he would make sure that it was a huge one. He suddenly wanted to fill in his entire mansion with his future descendants. That evening, Yera stayed longer to catch up with her friends Arya, Rita and Denise - the wives of the Kens. "So how''s married life in secret?" Arya asked with a meaningful look. Denise laughed out loud and said, "Of course it''s exciting sis. Why ask the obvious? I mean look at Deyna''s eyes¡­" Denise paused recalling her real name. "Ooops sorry, I''m used to calling you Deyna so Yera¡­ I must say how bright and glowing your eyes are compared to before¡­" "I bet it''s very hard too because they have to hide from everyone''s eyes. Imagine yourself dating in disguise or I bet you rarely go out at all." Rita commented. Yera smiled and told her how she and Xander managed to go out. "Hmm well I hope you soon find out who is behind your abduction if Juliet Go is really not the one responsible¡­" Arya sympathetically hoped for as she said the words. She was glad Yera finally found herself though they felt a bit left out because Yera hid her identity from them until now. But they did understand that she did not want to burden them. "Still Yera please make sure next time you run to us whenever you''re in need¡­ I''m still sad that Xander was the first person to offer you a helping hand while we are all here for you¡­" Arya said with pouty lips. "Hmm, but I would not be able to get in the picture if she happened to ask for your help from the very start." Xander, who suddenly popped up in their circle, interrupted. He gave the girls his trademark charming smile with a wink before he sat beside Yera. Arya laughed and shook her head. "Yeah you''re right. You would definitely be out of the picture then." Arya seconded. Xander knew how capable the Kens were. "That''s what you call fate - things happen for a certain reason and purpose." Denise finalized. Yera looked lovingly at her husband. She couldn''t agree less because looking back to all that she had been through, she had lost too much but in the end she felt like God had rewarded her with the most precious gem, she got the love and care of Xander along her way, the most precious jewel of her life... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

If her family would find out about it she would be dead because she happened to live just next door from her sister and her husband''s unit. She was actually using the unit of her brother Zach. Dion could not use his right arm because he was shot in the chest and mobilizing the right arm was painful for him. She was packing up some of her clothes for a week''s stay while thinking of a good excuse for her sister who would often visit her to give her some meals and groceries. "Maybe I should tell her that I will be going on a trip?" she mumbled as she folded her clothes. "But where?" Then she giggled before adding, "To my boyfriend''s home¡­." She touched her hot cheeks and squealed on her silly own thoughts. She would just say that she will have a week-long vacation to unwind herself. She immediately packed all the things she would need and hurried to go to Dion''s condo because she was sure Dion was struggling in taking care of himself. As soon as she arrived at Dion''s condo, she instantly checked his room but her eyebrows creased seeing the bed. Thud! She heard a loud sound from the bathroom. "Dion," she called out and quickly walked towards the bathroom, but she got worried when she heard no response from inside. She quickly opened the door of the bathroom and rushed inside. "Oh my God!" she gasped seeing Dion sitting on the floor n.a.k.e.d. She panicked at the thought of him being hurt so she did not even notice his n.a.k.e.d state and hurriedly assisted him up. He was wet so she presumed he slipped on the floor while showering? "Why didn''t you wait for me?" she scolded. "Close your eyes," she heard Dion bashfully whisper. Then Rizie realized that Dion''s left hand was trying to hide his manhood and he was completely n.a.k.e.d. She did not know how to react to this but she was extremely amused and felt that scene was really funny. She lifted her head and looked at Dion whose face had turned a shade of deep crimson due to embarrassment. He was not wearing his glasses so she subconsciously commented, "You look better without eyeglasses." Dion crumpled his face because that was the reason he slipped since he removed his eyeglasses! "Are you allowed to shower already?" Rizie asked, trying to focus on other things than his hot, s.e.xy, clothless body while she grabbed a towel and handed it to Dion. "Yes it''s okay since I have covered the bandaged area with a waterproof adhesive pad. Besides, I feel stinky¡­" Dion murmured while he quickly covered his lower part of the body, hoping Rizie did not notice his private part reacting abnormally in that situation since Rizie was too close to his body hugging him tight as if she was afraid that he would fall down again. "Was it always like that?" Rizie guilelessly asked. "Huh?" Dion murmured and followed where Rizie was looking. He immediately said, "Stop that Riz! Help me go back to the room." Rizie laughed at how red Dion''s face had turned while he took Rizie''s support and tried to walk out of the bathroom. She noticed something was pointing beneath his towel so she made a joke out of itt. Dion on the other hand could not believe how brazen Rizie would be to comment such nonchalantly on things like that as if it was something just very casual. Rizie helped him to sit down at the side of the bed while she walked towards his closet to get him a shirt and a boxer. "Do you have something with buttons? I think it''s more convenient or would you like to wear a dress with a zipper?" Rizie asked. Dion told her where to find it. Rizie saw both types of dresses were available but she picked the one with buttons in it since it would take much time to button and she wished to see him getting tortured by her closeness. She mischievously grinned, grabbed another towel to dry his hair and went back to Dion. She stood in front of him to dry his hair properly with the towel. "How is your fall? Don''t we need to go back to see if you hurt some joints in your fall?" rizie asked. "No need¡­ I didn''t fall that hard on the floor unlike how hard I fell for you¡­" Dion uttered. It was supposed to be a silent thought but he unconsciously voiced it out. Rizie''s arms and hands on his head drying his hair paused in their action and she looked at him intently. A sweet beautiful smile flashed on her lips while her cheeks blushed. Her smile was too beautiful and Dion inwardly cursed because he was not wearing his eyeglasses to clearly see her bright smile. He was startled when Rizie leaned closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. Dion''s heart was about to burst while Rizie slowly bent her head down to kiss him. It was such a gentle kiss full of warmth that touched him deep in his heart. But for Dion, it was not enough. He forgot the thought of formally asking Rizie to be his girlfriend before getting intimate with her and pulled her in for a deep kiss. He never thought how good it felt to kiss someone you like and how addicting it could be. To be honest, the kiss they shared in the hospital kept on lingering in his thoughts so he did not let the chance to grab the opportunity of feeling Rizie''s lips once more. "Riz, I¡­ can we¡­ uhm can you¡­ be my girlfriend?" Dion in his hoarse voice asked between kisses. Rizie abruptly pulled herself from the kiss. She frowned and mumbled, "Aren''t we already in a relationship? You''ve been kissing me for the second time already¡­" Dion chuckled at Rizie''s expression and pulled her to sit on his lap. "Yes we are indeed. It''s just that I thought I should at least court you first¡­ Also, you have to take responsibility for me since you already saw me n.a.k.e.d." Dion said smiling then he pinched Rizie''s nose. Rizie smiled and said, "You can still court me while we''re in a relationship. That way we can save time. But right now, I think you should wear your brief and shorts first because it''s poking..." "Do you need help?" Rizie naively asked, pertaining to Dion wearing his brief and short. Dion scratched his head as he knew he surely should manage himself because he felt like it would only get worse if Rizie would help him wearing his underwear. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

AGE UNDER 18 DON''T DARE TO UNLOCK THIS CHAPTER] "Darling, are you sure about revealing your identity in the press conference?" Xander asked. The couple was still in bed and none wished to move. It was the weekend and Yera was still suspended from her duties in the hospital. Lyndon called her last night, asking about her condition and informing her about the board meeting. She sighed because Xander insisted that Lyndon was still a suspect until they caught the person responsible for her abduction and attempted killing. To be honest, she believed in Lyndon. He was genuine with his feelings towards her while they were engaged, so for her it was too impossible for Lyndon to harm her. Though Lyndon''s family was still under suspicion and were being monitored. She felt Xander bury his face on her nape while he hugged her tightly from behind. "What''s with that sigh?" Xander sluggishly asked. "I want to be called by my real name now. I think there''s nothing to worry now, besides the security around me is still very tight. I want to fight as Yera Han now, with whoever it is who wants to harm me¡­ I''m sure that person will hesitate to do things rashly at this point knowing that I''m under the Kens protection." Yera explained because it was a known fact that how mighty and powerful the Kens were. If something should happen to her, that person knew that he or she would be hunted down by the Kens, no matter what. Xander no longer debated because he knew Yera was firm with her decision though she was right that the Kens would definitely hunt down whoever hurt Yera not to mention he himself would do the same. After a while, Yera creased her forehead and commented, "Why are you so hyperactive since we left the Ken''s Mansion last night?" It was because she could feel Xander''s manhood poking on her back once more. Last night, Xander tremendously attacked her in bed. She heard Xander chuckled. "I really envy the Kens or should I say I''m inspired by seeing their huge family that I want to make a big family myself..." murmured Xander in her husky voice. Yera gasped when she felt his warm hand caressing her bare legs, slipping under her nightgown as it went up to her h.i.p.s. She bit her lips as the sensation started to roll on her body. She was wearing nothing else except her nightgown. Xander''s warm and soft palm teasingly crawled up to her b.r.e.a.s.ts, making her shiver with pleasure. She unconsciously arched her body when his finger circled her now erect n.i.p.p.l.es. "How about we make six babies darling. Three girls and three boys." Yera heard her husband whisper in her ear with his lingering warm breath. He even sensually bit her earlobe. ''Such a teasing brute!'' Yera mused followed by her soft m.o.a.ns when Xander cupped each of her b.r.e.a.s.t, gently squeezing and caressing its fullness one by one. Yera could feel herself damp below, between her thighs and she subconsciously brushed her behind into her husband''s pointed member that made Xander growled. "Darling is that a ''yes''? Shall we make six?" Xander reconfirmed. "Hmmm," Yera hummed. She was of course willing to give her generous, loving and sweet husband whatever he would request to her as long as it was within her capabilities. That instant Xander moved his hand downwards, between his wife''s thighs where he caressed and teased her. "You''re wet¡­" he groaned. He pulled Yera''s nightgown upward so he could penetrate her sideways from behind. He brushed his member in her moist folds to tease her. But Yera frantically wanted to feel her husband inside of her already so she moved back, trying to catch Xander''s tip inside her core. Xander chuckled while he showered Yera''s nape with hickeys while he raised one of Yera''s legs as he invaded her opening. The couple hummed in chorus when Xander entered her. Yera was so aroused herself that she pounded herself on her husband by pushing her buttocks so she could feel Xander''s member deeper. The sun was already up but the couple did not mind their stomach grumbling for a meal instead they filled each other to fulfill the carnal hunger they were craving for. Xander thrust deeper and harder. He groaned in pleasure while Yera met his intensity by pounding on him backwards. "It feels so good to be inside you." Xander couldn''t help but voice out while he called Yera''s name followed by how much he loved her and loved having her over and over again. Yera on the other hand was on the verge of her climax because Xander heightened her pleasure by playing on her nub with his fingers while he accelerated his thrust inside her, as deep as he could. "I''m c.u.mmiiinggg¡­" Yera unconsciously burst out. "Yes darling let it all go¡­" Xander murmured as he sped up entering her in and out. After a few more deep thrusts from her husband Yera''s body abruptly convulsed. She bit her lower lip while she breathed erratically. She could feel her liquid coming out. "My babies please don''t disappoint daddy¡­" she heard Xander mutter before she felt him release inside her all his juices after a hard and deep thrust. Xander did not pull out his member but even moved deeper before stopping, still inside of Yeras. Yera did not know whether to laugh because she found it funny. It was like her husband was cheering for his s.p.e.r.m cells to make sure to sprout inside her. "Darling do not stand up yet for at least five minnutes okay? Our babies will fall down if you do that. Just wait in here and I will prepare breakfast for you and bring it here in bed ¡­" Yera heard Xander whisper while he gently pulled his member out of her. This time Yera could not help but snigger while she watched her husband leave the room in a hurry. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

His condo was big. Well his family was well off at Country D according to Dr. Dee so no wonders that he could afford a luxurious unit. He had his own gym and study room with two vacant guest rooms. Rizie went straight to Dion''s kitchen and she smiled seeing how healthy her boyfriend was living that she often cross over at his condo for a meal since Dion was also a good cook. She suddenly crumpled her face at the thought of how lucky she was and unlucky Dion was with her since she did not even know how to cook well like her sister Lana. She scratched her head while she looked at the bountiful refrigerator of Dion filled with a variety of fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and a lot more. If she was a good cook, she could definitely cook a nice spread out of all that stuff kept inside the refrigerator. In the end she picked up the eggs and some vegetables to mix it with for a nice scrumble. That was the only dish she was good at cooking, except for an easier dish like fried chicken, well basically all dishes that could be fried. She decided to make a perfect omelette for breakfast and just prepare a fruit platter for him. The sun was not yet up but Rizie started preparing breakfast because Dion was an early riser. She twitched her mouth recalling how Dion acted like her alarm clock every day, waking her up early in the morning and even encouraging her to jog around the nearest park in their area along with him. She prepared everything in a bed tray before walking inside Dion''s room. As expected Dion was already awake and he was in the process of getting up and sitting on the bed but halted when he saw Rizie. "I can walk Riz and we can eat together at the dining table," Dion commented. Rizie gave him her brightest and seetest smile before she said, "let''s do that tomorrow. For now enjoy breakfast in bed. I have eaten already while preparing this so don''t worry about me." Rizie sat on the bed and placed the tray of food on the bed. She grabbed the spoon and fork and prepared a spoonful to feed Dion well. "It''s okay I can manage," Dion said and was about to get the spoon from Rizie''s hand but the latter hit on the back of his hand. "Hey¡­ Just relax okay and let me feed you. Your wound is still recovering and it''s not right to move your arm. You''re right handed so it will be difficult to use your left hand for eating. Now, open your mouth obediently... ahhh¡­" Rizie scolded followed by a signal for him to open his mouth. Dion flushed without him knowing. This was the first time he had experienced being served by someone really special except for his mom who always took good care of him of course. Still a bit hesitant, Dion managed to slowly open his mouth when Rizie raised her arm with the spoon of rice with an omelette. "Good boy¡­" Rizie commented in a jest with a teasing smile while Dion chewed the food. "I''m not a good cook so let''s just order food delivery from time to time. I''m afraid eating fried the whole week won''t be good for your recovery." Rizie added. Dion smiled at her and suggested, "If you want I can teach you. I will instruct what you need to do while I will watch you cook. That way you will also learn along the process." Rizie gulped. She was hesitating to agree because she honestly tried learning to cook from her mother before but sadly it seemed that even the kitchen and cooking did not like her at all. "Hmm. What''s with this conflicted look?" Dion asked with a grin. He could clearly understand that look on her face, given that Rizie would always barge in his condo for a meal. "Cooking hates me¡­ But let''s see. Okay, let''s try¡­ Maybe I will learn better if you will teach me because my mother''s teaching was not effective at all." Rizie confided with a twisted mouth. Rizie scooped another spoonful of rice and put some omelette. She was a bit excited with the cooking guidance Dion offered so she asked, "Are we going to start with cooking lunch? What do you want to eat so I can check if the ingredients are available in the kitchen..." "Hmm, you decide. You know that I''m not a picky eater as long as it''s healthy." Dion answered. Rizie could not help spacing out while she imagined how Dion would teach her. She naughtily grinned when the thought of Dion getting close to her appeared in her imagination. where he was almost hugging her from behind and touching her hand while teaching her how to properly chop the vegetables. His chin leaning on her shoulders while she started to mix everything in the pan followed by his sudden embrace. "Riz¡­ Are you with me?" Dion asked when he noticed Rizie spacing out and staring at the rice while smiling on her own. He even waved his hand before her eyes just to get her attention. "Riz¡­" "Oh yeah¡­" Rizie finally noticed him and began to feed him once more. After a few more hours, the time finally came when Rizie had to prepare lunch. However, to her disappointment, what happened was the total opposite of what she had imagined. Dion only watched her from afar and didn''t even come any closer to the kitchen counter. He dictated to Rizie what and how she should do things, especially the amount of spices Rizie should put on. Miraculously, the dish ended up tasting good and not bland like how she used to cook before. But Dion noticed Rizie''s sulky look so he asked, "Are you alright? You look displeased. The dish actually ended well. See I almost ate it all¡­" It was true that Dion had heartily eaten the meal she prepared with his mentoring. Rizie hesitated whether to tell Dion her sentiments. "Come here¡­" she heard Dion say and gestured to her to come to his chair opposite her. Rizie sighed before she stood up and walked towards Dion''s chair. Then she was startled when Dion suddenly pulled her to sit on his lap and bent forward to give her a gentle kiss on her lips. "Thank you for the great meal." Dion whispered followed by a peck on her nose. Rizie blushed as she silently thought, ''this is better than what I had imagined¡­'' Because the kiss was not part of her imagination. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She''s not real¡­ I only did it to save you from your suffering father..." Juliet repeatedly murmured inside her cell. She was trying to calm herself down by continuously saying those words. Yera''s face kept appearing inside her head and what followed was her father''s face while he gasped for air and with his hand reaching to her. "Stop!!!" She cried while she pulled her hair with her both hands and then hit her head with her palm as if it would help her to take away those images she did not want to see inside her head. She was startled with the sudden opening of the door. "You have a visitor¡­ Get her." the security guard said and two more guards went inside to escort Juliet out towards the reception area where she could meet her visitor. She entered the receiving area and frowned seeing the standing visitor''s back in the transparent glass. The security guard made her sit in front of the transparent glass before she was left in the small cubicle alone. Her visitor was wearing a shawl on the head but based on the petite figure, she was definitely a woman so Juliet thought it was her daughter, Jam. "Jam¡­ Please get me out of here¡­" she pleaded. The woman covered with the shawl and wearing shades finally turned around to face her. With a smirk she sat on the chair and removed her shawl from her head and neck followed by the shades. Juliet''s eyes widened in terror¡­ She abruptly stood up from her chair and ran towards the door. "Get me out of here!" she shouted as she hysterically knocked the door several times. "Aunt Juliet don''t be afraid. It''s me, your niece. I''m not a ghost you know¡­ I''m real¡­" Yera spoke and even knocked on the transparent glass with holes so the visitor and detainee could hear each other. Juliet paused and turned around. Yera was smiling at her. "Dr. Song?" Juliet spatted. She walked towards the glass looking confused.. "I see that you''ll soon have retribution for what you did to grandpa¡­ After what he''s done for you¡­ I will make sure you''ll stay at the place where you really belong to Juliet Go¡­ All of you will get the punishments you all deserve!" Yera broached before she stood up and turned her back to leave. Juliet helplessly slumped on the floor. Her head was pounding and she felt as if it would burst open due to pain and frustration and soon after she lost her consciousness. Yera put her shades back on and covered her face with the shawl. The conference would be held tomorrow and same with the emergency board meeting whereas the new Chairman of Life Hospitals group would be chosen. She intentionally visited her aunt Juliet in the detention cell to personally see how much she was suffering with guilt before she would stand for her trial. She was walking out from the exit door when Yera noticed Jam was about to enter. Yera walked away straight and ignored her. However, Jam, with knitted brows suddenly stopped walking. "Dr. Song?" she stammered before turning back but the woman was gone and Jam had to run back outside to confirm if she had actually seen right. "What is she doing here?" she mumbled as she looked around outside the detention center. Could it be that she was mistaken? Suddenly she saw a woman wearing a shawl of the same color and she quickly followed to approach her and grabbed her shoulder. "I''m sorry," she apologized when she saw the face of the woman who also removed her shades. She was not Dr. Song. Jam sighed and walked back inside the detention center to visit her mother. She could not believe this was happening to their family just like that. Her father was busy clearing out their family name that was in a total mess right now not to mention that their positions in the hospital management were in turmoil. "What happened?!" she cried when the security guard informed her that her mother was still unconscious so she could not see her. "She is hysterical and has been sent back to her room, she keeps on mumbling the words ''She''s not real'' and ''I only did it father to save you from your sufferings over and over again. Someone just visited her before she totally passed out." narrated the security guard. "A visitor? Who?" Jam asked, wondering who could it be. The security guard furrowed his eyebrows while he checked the logbook and replied, "Miss Yera Han." Jam''s eyes rounded as she stressed, "Yera Han? Are you sure?" ''Could it be that it was her whom she had seen while entering here ? Was her gut feeling correct all along? Dr. Deyna Song and Yera is the same person?'' Jam nervously pondered. "Alright¡­ I will be back. I will check first if she''s already conscious." Jam hastily muttered. That instant she hurriedly walked outside to rush to Life Hospital. "Drive faster!" she hissed at her driver while they were on the road going to Life Hospital. With trembling hands, she dialed her father''s number. "She''s alive. Mom is right. Yera Han is alive¡­ Dr. Song is Yera Han!" she immediately relayed to her father over the phone. Roy was massaging his temples because he could not cope up with the current mess in his plate at that moment. It just came to his knowledge that most of the board members wanted him to step down from his position. He received the request from them asking him to resign or else they would conduct the voting for his removal from his position in the board meeting to be held the next day. "Jam¡­ Stop that nonsense. We all know your mom''s history¡­ I have a lot of things to do right now. I might lose my position in the hospital very soon, so let me focus on convincing the board members first. Not to add that I have to make sure that we are well prepared for your mom''s trial¡­" Roy specified before ending the call. Jam crumpled her face. She thought that she should tell the same to Lyndon but she had no proof, without any proof everything was just a few baseless words from her mouth. "Turn around quickly!" she yelled at the driver. She almost forgot the cctv footage! She must get a copy of it to convince Lyndon that she was telling the truth! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

A lot of journalists were curious to know how the Kens were connected with the Hans that they decided to file a case against Juliet Go for murder. Everyone was already inside the conference hall, waiting for Ryu Ken to arrive. Finally the door opened and Ryu Ken entered with Dean Ken and their attorneys. They sat at the tables in the front to face everyone with their microphones on their table. "Hmm, I see a lot of gossip mongers present inside," greeted Dean Ken in his usual comic humor that made all the journalists inside laugh. "Good morning everyone. I am Liam Sy, the attorney in charge of the case filed by the Kens on behalf of the Hans. As all of you know, my client has called for this conference to clear up some things regarding the Ken''s involvement in the reopening of the case for the murder of the whole Han Family." Murmurs filled the room as some of the reporters took note of the words ''murder of the whole Han Family''. "We will show you all the evidence that will be submitted at the court once the trials for Juliet and Roy Go commences." Attorney Sy continued and his blatant words shocked everyone. The said conference was being broadcasted live at the Cooper''s Broadcasting Network and was being watched nationwide by curious citizens, especially the staff of the Life Hospital. One of the journalist raised her hand and when accepted by Ryu Ken to ask her question, she grabbed her microphone and fired, "Murder of the whole Han Family¡­ Do you mean all the members of the family including Randy and Yeng Han?" Randy and Yeng were Dr. Yera Han''s parents who died in a plane crash. The case was concluded to be an accident, the investigation of which was handled by Roy Go at that time. Ryu nodded and simply said, "Yes. Mr. Roy Go staged it as an accident. We have all the evidence against him with us." This information truly shocked the whole nation and everyone then put their focus on the evidences the Kens were showing including the unusually high amounts of wire transfers to the family of the pilot who also died in the plane crash. Next came the medical reports of the pilot on the screen behind the Kens... "You see the pilot had cancer and had only a month or less to live so Roy Go took that opportunity and lured him in crashing the plane, with the promise that his family who he will leave behind will live a luxurious life until they die¡­" Dean added. He also explained how Roy Go managed to hide everything¡­ It was because Old Master Han trusted his son-in-law in handling the matter and it never crossed Old Master Han''s mind that the son in law he trusted so much would be harboring such an ill intention . "The motion to reopen the case is already granted just this morning¡­" Attorney Sy added. One of the reporters raised his hand for another question. "How about Juliet Go? She''s the daughter of Old Master Han so why would she kill her own father?" "She''s an adopted child." Ryu simply answered. That explained a lot. All those present inside were in awe as the Kens showed them all their evidences. The Kens came very prepared in that conference. However, everyone was still confused because they didn''t understand with what authority could they reopen the case without consent from any of the family of the victim. Surely, Jam Go was not going to help the Kens in bringing down her own parents. "Everyone is very keen to know why the Kens get involved in this case? What''s your connection with Hans and how are you authorized to reopen the case without approval from any of the Hans?" one of the journalists asked and everyone nodded since the same question was left unanswered in their hearts. "I think most of you are aware of the trials our family faced just recently. Do you remember Chief Doctor Song who, we said had played a key role for us in finding out the truth about our family¡­" Ryu Ken started. Almost all journalists said, "Yes," and nodded. "He happened to save a woman who was carried offshore near his place. That woman was barely breathing because of the gun shots. In short she was in a critical condition but she miraculously lived¡­ However, when she woke up¡­ She couldn''t recall things about herself, not even who she was¡­" Ryu began his narration. "Chief Doctor Song took good care of that woman and she was living with him as his daughter since then when my grandfather, Old Master Ken, found him. Chief Doctor Song was not well and was afraid that he wouldn''t live for long, so he asked my grandfather to take her with him and help her regain her memory¡­That lovely woman has been under our protection since then. We gradually discovered her great knowledge in medicine so we managed to get all the qualifications she needed to be a doctor and surprisingly she passed every test that she needed¡­" Ryu added. At Life Hospital, Dr. Qing, who was watching that live telecast in their office in the Department of Surgery, dropped his sandwich he was holding while he murmured, "I knew it!!! Dr. Song!!! Where is Dr. Song!!! He hysterically stood up to ask Shan if Dr. Song had reported or had already arrived. Meanwhile back in the press conference, Ryu continued, "She hasn''t regained all her memory yet until just recently..." "Are you saying that the woman is Dr. Yera Han?" the journalist straightforwardly asked. Ryu Ken''s face was serious as he answered, "Yes¡­ She is none other than Dr. Yera Han." Again, everyone was shocked¡­"So Dr. Han was alive all along!!! She did not die! The true heiress of Life Hospitals group is alive!" everyone exclaimed because it was such an unexpected and shocking revelation. "Where is she right now?" one of the journalists asked. "Chief Doctor Song named her Deyna Song and to answer your question about where Dr. Deyna Song is right now¡­ I mean Dr. Yera Han... Well she is now back to the place where she belongs¡­ Life Hospitals group where else¡­" Dean Ken answered with a smirk. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Jam, who was already with her father and Lyndon inside the meeting room, was way too restless. The officer at the detention centre had promised her that they would give her a copy of the cctv footage this morning since they could not give it to her that easily the day before without approval from their higher management even though she was a family member of the detainee. ''Just wait for you bitch¡­ I will expose you!!!'' she mused. The meeting had already started and everyone voted in favor for his father to step down from his position since it was proved that he was pretty incapable of managing the hospital. They heard a commotion outside the meeting room and everyone was startled when one of the security men rushed inside. "What is it?!" Chairman Go exclaimed with furrowed forehead. His mood was not good because the bunch of idiots in front of him wanted him out of the picture, from his company that he had acquired with so much effort! "Chairman¡­ I''m sorry but the police are on their way to¡­" the guard could not finish his sentence because the police suddenly barged inside. "What''s happening?!" Jam yelled when the police approached her father with handcuffs. "Mr. Roy Go you are under arrest for the murder of Mr. Randy and Mrs. Yeng Han." the police remarked. "What?! Are you nuts?! That case was closed ages ago and it proved to be an accident!" Roy Go barked and grabbed the warrant issued to him from the police''s hand. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time." the police officer addressed while two more police officers held Roy Go''s arms to escort him outside. Everyone was speechless especially Jam who went out to be with her father while she tried to call their attorney. Back in the meeting room, one of the board members spoke, "this time the position will definitely be vacant so we have to vote for who should sit at the Chairman''s position¡­" Shan, who was there to note minutes of the meeting, bit her lips. Everyone was present except for Dr. Deyna Song. "We can just call Dr. Song for her vote so we should not let this wait further and let''s finalize everything from here." one of the board members added. "Alright¡­ We shall start¡­" the presiding committee stated and signaled one of the secretaries inside to close the door of the meeting room. The secretary stood up from her seat and closed the doors. She was almost halfway into closing it when she abruptly paused. She moved backwards and left the door open. "What are you doing close the door!" scoffed Mr. Lua, one of the board members. Life Hospitals group would go down if they did not immediately fix the issue. Another shocking scene happened when Dr. Yera Han entered through the door. Everyone was confused because she looked exactly like Dr. Yera Han. "Is that Dr. Song?" someone loudly mumbled. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I bet you are all confused¡­ Shan, can you please open the television first so everyone can watch the press conference of the Kens¡­" Sham immediately obeyed and opened the television for everyone to watch while Yera sat on her grandfather''s chair comfortably, the chairman''s chair¡­ Everyone was immediately focussed on the television while Yera observed everyone''s expression. "Chief Doctor Song named her Deyna Song and to answer your question on where Dr. Deyna Song is right now¡­ I mean Dr. Yera Han... Well she is now back to the place where she belongs¡­ Life Hospitals group where else¡­" was the last sentence everyone witnessed before Yera signaled Shan to turn off the television. "Thanks Shan," Yera muttered with a grin because she couldn''t help to get amused with those words from Dean Ken. Then her face became suddenly serious at the thought that her parents were also killed. She got to know about it only yesterday. Her husband did not mention that he was also investigating her parents'' death way before including the accidents she experienced when she was growing up because of which she even thought she was jinxed. It turned out that the bastard Roy Go was the one responsible for those. Too bad for him because he never succeeded even once. Then she met Lyndon''s eyes¡­ She could see him tearing up when he whispered, "Yera¡­" She ignored him and gave everyone inside a sharp look followed by her evil smile. "So¡­ I heard you wanted a vote for the Chairman''s position¡­ Hmm too bad because I will be the one to sit in here." she declared with a smirk then she added, "Also, the position of the COO will be taken over by my brother. He will be the new COO of life hospitals¡­" Everyone in the room was astounded and dumbconfounded¡­ "Why? Of course I am going to kick out Jam Go¡­ Do you want me to keep her in position otherwise? Who knows? She could be the one responsible for my abduction as well? Or perhaps an accomplice with someone?" Yera commented full of mockery. "Ahm Chairwoman Han¡­ It''s not about that. We are actually surprised to hear you say brother?" Mr. Lua asked. "Oh¡­ Yes¡­ I will formally introduce him to you all. Right now he''s still recovering from the gunshot wounds¡­" Yera shared and saw the conflicted expressions on everyone''s face so she added, "Yes, you are right. Dr. Dion Chen Han is my brother. He is my father''s son¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

I don''t understand¡­ I don''t understand at all why people like them can''t just be content with what they have. They are lucky compared to others and yet they still aren''t satisfied!" Rizie snarled. Dion and Rizie watched the press conference as they sat beside each other on Dion''s couch. She couldn''t help but get furious once more though she was already aware of the real story. They were updated on the situation and Rizie truly saluted the Kens on how they handled everything at the press conference, truly, a reliable comrade they got. "Hmm¡­ I bet Yera will now take over everything. Hopefully the trial goes well... By the way, how do you feel about her exposing you as her brother?" Rizie asked before she picked up an orange fruit and peeled it. "I''m happy of course... That she''s proud of me, but to be honest, I''m still hesitant with her decision to give me a position at Life Hospital group¡­" Dion opened up. Though Yera asked her if he was alright with it, it was still so sudden that he felt like he was lacking, in both skill wise and mental wise, to be able to assist her with the Han family''s business. "She said to try it first, right? You can tell her anytime if you think it''s not for you but now, I believe you need to give it a try first." Rizie encouraged him, she believed that Dion would do great in assisting Yera. She was confident in that. Then something alarming dawned upon her, because she heard that Yera would want Dion to live with her at Han Ancestral Mansion, saying the mansion would be his home soon as Yera would stay at Yang''s Ancestral Mansion with her husband and father-in-law. Han''s Ancestral Mansion was not within walking distance from her place, unlike Dion''s condo wherein she could bug him at any moment of her convenience. "What''s with the sullen mood?" Dion noticed. Rizie sighed before she quavered, "Hmm... it''s just that, I won''t be able to¡­ be with you whenever I want, once you live at Han Mansion." Dion chuckled and pinched her cheek. "You can live with me if you want," he teased in a flirtatious way. Rizie''s face creased as she spluttered in embarrassment, "Is that an indecent proposal? What do you think of me?!" Dion burst out in laughter. "What are you thinking? You can pay the room rent if you want. Besides... you will be my secretary since Yera will have Shan. Staying together for work sounds decent to me." Dion justified, hoping Rizie would agree. He wanted to stay near her, but he also wanted to live at his father''s home. He was actually excited to see how his father lived. He wanted to check his room, study room and any other things that could familiarize him with his father. He closely looked at Rizie who seemed to be in deep thought. "When do you plan to live there?" Rizie queried. She was honestly thinking of the alibis she would have to say to her family, as to why she would no longer stay at her brother''s condo. ''It''s about work¡­'' Rizie mused. Maybe she could just say that she will need to stay there for work. "Hmm... as soon as I recover or once you agree to stay there, then we can transfer as soon as possible. You will be my personal assistant and secretary. Your employer is generous enough to give you a very convenient accommodation for more proficient work you know." Dion convinced with his sweet smile. With obvious teasing in his eyes, he was smiling gleefully. Rizie wanted to play hard to get so she nonchalantly said, "I will think about it more first." .........¡­ Jam was crying hard inside the car while she followed the police car that her father was on. "Ma''am, I think you should watch the news and the replay of the press conference..." her driver suggested. Jam did check it on her mobile phone and she was truly devastated. "This is not true! My parents could never do such a thing!" she chided. She could not believe it at all... that her parents were being accused as murderers! Yera was confirmed alive and she was not shocked by it. She received a message from an anonymous number. Jam immediately checked it. [You have to leave the mansion. I''ll be generous enough to give you a nice place to stay at¡­ All your things are already there. I have nothing against you Jam, so I hope you can start anew. I''m hoping that you will not turn out like how your parents did... so please live a decent life and be happy. The company froze all of your accounts since it''s part of the policy but I already transferred a good amount of money that you can use to start with¡­] Then another message followed that had the address and informed her that everything was under her name, and all the legal doc.u.ments were already inside the house. Jam burst out into a scornful laugh. She slapped and pinched herself hard, hoping that she finally woke up in that nightmare. She had lost everything¡­ Then she thought of Lyndon. ''I won''t lose you!'' she snarled inwardly. Lyndon was the only person she had left, and she would make sure not to lose him. Then... she suddenly burst out in tears once more. Lyndon¡­ Now that Yera was alive with her identity confirmed, she felt like dying because she knew how Lyndon loved Yera. ''You''re mine!'' she cried silently. She was desperate not to lose Lyndon, and would do anything¡­ To stop Lyndon from leaving her side. She was so distressed that her shoulders dropped. Even her position at Life Hospital group was gone and all she had left was just some money and herself. After awhile, she finally calmed herself down and tried her best to compose herself. It was going to be a long road ahead of her and she was more determined, because that way¡­ Only then would she be able to confidently face all of the trials she will soon be facing. Her mobile phone rang, and she immediately answered seeing it was their attorney. "Ma''am¡­ We will have a heavy and hard trial. The evidence is all true, but we will try our best for your parents," reassured their family attorney. "Thank you attorney. I trust you. Please do everything to help my parents." she sincerely requested. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

You can now go¡­" Yera addressed before getting up from her chair and went out of the meeting room. Everyone followed and bowed outside as Yera left them to their own agenda. Shan on the other hand walked to Lyndon and asked, "Sir¡­ Are you alright?" She could see the conflicted look on his face, but he managed to give Shan a faint smile and he calmly said, "You can go now Shan. I will stay here for a while. Please close the door when you leave." Shan nodded and quickly left the room. She would be Chairman Han''s secretary again as she had emphasized in the meeting a while ago. Shan would make sure to endorse everything to whoever the HR department would replace her with as CEO Chu''s secretary. ''Will they get back together?'' Shan thought silently as she walked towards the Chairman''s office. Out of nowhere she hit her head and ran to the Chairman''s office as fast as she could. She almost forgot how strict her Ma''am was. Why did she let her walk on her own to the Chairman''s office. She was surely dead¡­ Shan was panting as she entered the office. Chairman Han was already sitting on her chair with her back towards her facing the panoramic view of the city from her transparent room. "Ma''am, I''m sorry. I got worried about CEO Chu so I stayed with him for a while to make sure he is alright¡­" she explained a bit of stuttering. "How is he?" she heard the Chairman asked. "Not good. I think he will burst in crying later. To be honest i often caught him looking at your photos togethe-" "Stop it Shan¡­" she interrupted. "I did not ask what he had been doing before. Just how he was a while ago since you say you stayed with him. Have that engrave out of my sight." she instructed, referring to the nameplate with Chairman Randy Go engraved in it. "Noted Ma''am¡­" answered Shan with pouty lips. She was indeed Dr. Yera Han - the witch was back. And yet, she knew that her Ma''am Yera had a soft spot inside. The chair turned and Shan blinked more than once as Chairman Han gave her a bright smile and said, "I missed you Shan." Shan''s jaw dropped. ''Wait.. What? Is she really Miss Yera Han?'' astounded, she mused. The last time she met and talked to her was when Yera Han disclosed her identity, she had the same expressions and mannerisms as Miss Yera Han who she always knew, with her sharp expression, demanding and authoritative aura like a while ago but Chairman Han''s word just now kinda creeped her out. "You look stiff Shan. Relax¡­ I won''t bite you but definitely I will have to make you work double time since the Go''s have left a lot of mess in my plate to clean up¡­" Chairman Han continued with a fond look. "I will leave early today, so have this office get organized after that. I don''t want to see a single finger print of Randy Go in my office. Remove and replace everything back to how it used to be with my grandpa around." Yera instructed. While she was instructing Shan, her mobile phone rang, so she immediately dismissed Shan and instructed her to go, seeing it was her husband who was calling. "How is my darling?" Xander said in a soothing tone. "Hmm¡­ Did you watch me through cctv? Tell me how was my performance?" Yera chortled. Xander grinned. He witnessed the entire situation on the screen, everything since Yera entered the meeting room. To be honest, he fell in love with her all over again seeing how confident and on point his wife was as the Chairperson. Her aura, her demeanor and everything were entirely different than when she was with him. He indeed loved these personalities. "You were so great that I suddenly got worried for myself," Xander voiced out. "Huh?" Yera was confused hearing the sudden low toned voice of her husband. "Yes! Because you looked so independent and I got scared that from now on you won''t depend on me anymore," Xander confessed. He somehow wanted his wife to still depend on him at most of the times but he knew, with Yera''s character, it would be just impossible. He heard Yera chuckled at the other line. "What are you saying? I''m depending on you to become a mother of six babies darling¡­" she bluntly jested, full of excitement. But then she flushed realizing what she had just said. How come she could now mimic her husband''s humor? But she was glad because her husband was bringing out the best in her. Xander was caught off guard. He was being dramatic with her, trying to play a victim a moment ago, but his darling suddenly gave him the best answer that could actually lift his mood if he were to feel down by anything. "Wow¡­ My darling is really an amazing woman. How about I come pick you up now and start fulfilling your wish?" Xander teased. Then he added, "I also want to go to an important place with you darling." "Alright. I''ll be ready in an hour," Yera answered, smiling brightly. After an hour, Yera was picked up by Xander. "Where are we going?" she asked as soon as she was inside the car. "You''ll see¡­" Xander answered with a wink. The road was very familiar. Xander was driving to her family''s graveyard. Yera bit her lip as she started to get emotional. Xander helped her out of the car and held her hands as they walked the path to their family graveyard. "I wanted to meet your family somehow to thank them for giving life to my precious wife. This is the only place I can meet them...: I should have done this sooner. Sorry darling that I''m late. " Xander said with a wink. He was actually waiting for a formal wedding ceremony before visiting his in-laws so that he could somehow proudly introduce and show himself as Yera''s husband since their wedding was just a contract in paper earlier. Yera lovingly smiled and crinkled her nose. "Better late than never¡­" she jested with a very wide smile. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He sat there stunned, happy yet crying¡­ He could not get up from there and go to her and say any words at all. He kept staring in nothingness. ''Deyna is Yera,'' he kept mumbling this thing in his head. Tears continuously fell from his eyes and he would smile every once in a while. Yera was alive¡­ "Thank God you''re alive," he complacently muttered. He was too happy to find that Yera was alive. It was as if a heavy rock was lifted up inside his chest. "Is he still inside?" one of the janitors asked. They were supposed to clean the room since another department wanted to use it soon. But they were hesitant in going and disturbing the CEO inside because they all knew what had just happened. "He should be inside the Chairman''s office instead of sitting here. He''s wasting his time here¡­" one of the janitors commented. "Let''s give him a little more time. After ten minutes you go inside and-" the janitor talking paused seeing CEO Chu finally went out from the door, mentally drained. CEO Chu walked past them as if he did not see anyone. The janitors both shook their head. One of the janitors mumbles.."He looks totally out of himself¡­" Lyndon went directly to the Chairman''s office, Yera''s office but he halted when he was almost near the door of the receiving area. He wanted to talk to her but he felt that he was not ready yet. He should apologize for not properly taking care of her¡­ For¡­ Lyndon abruptly turned around and left in haste. It had been a long day already. Maybe it would not be a good idea to talk to her right now. Inside his office, Lyndon sat on his chair exhausted and fatigued yet felt light. He picked up his mobile phone and saw a lot of missed calls from Jam. He also had several unread messages from her. He restlessly closed his eyes. He knew that Jam needed him now. He let out a long deep sigh before he opened his eyes and returned Jam''s call. "Where are you?" he directly asked. Jam told him her location so Lyndon immediately stood up to go to her. Lyndon creased his forehead as he drove inside an exclusive residential area, at the address texted by Jam. He stopped when he reached the exact house number. Jam asked him to directly enter the house when he arrived so he did. It was a fully furnished house and was pretty big in size. It was located in a good neighborhood too. "You''re here¡­ Isn''t this place nice? See, Yera bothered so much to buy me this house. She actually even wired a huge amount of money in my account and has loaded me with cars and everything I need to live in luxury. I honestly don''t know how I should feel about her generosity¡­ I should be grateful, right? But my heart screams otherwise. I feel absurdly mocked." he heard Jam speak. He found Jam sitting on the terrace of the house looking devastated, totally zoned out. Guilt built up in Lyndon''s heart, seeing the current state of Jam. If he closely looked at everything and introspective, Jam had treated him good, more than good to be precise. Lyndon walked towards her and sat beside her. There was a moment of silence¡­ While the two of them looked at the nice view of the garden before them. "How about we go far away together please. It''s okay even if you don''t love me¡­ I will be good to you. I will do whatever you want. Let''s just leave this place and go away." Jam suddenly blurted out. She turned to Lyndon with teary eyes and held his hands, hoping she could receive a good answer from him. Lyndon''s eyes were filled with empathy towards Jam. He moved his hands to hold hers instead followed by a gentle squeeze. "Jam, it won''t be good if you drag this too long. You have to quickly end this." Lyndon requested. "You''re waiting for me and I''m sure you yourself think you''re pathetic. That''s not love Jam. It''s an obsession¡­ You have to let me go¡­" He casually added. Jam''s lips trembled, her shoulders achingly dropped. She started to sob and with a stuttering voice said, "Do you think Yera will still accept you after everything? She never loved you from the very beginning and she never will. Don''t you get it??? Yera has a man now. I''m sure she was not bugged by that Xander for nothing. She said to me herself that I can keep you for myself because she already has a man." She was intentionally implying that the man was Xander because she strongly believed that he was Yera''s man after the gunshot incident in the hospital. Then Jam gave him a scornful laugh and added, "How about I say those words back to you Lyndon¡­ You have to let her go¡­" Jam removed her hands from Lyndon''s and turned back to look at the beautiful garden. With a blank expression, she lifelessly muttered, "Go away Lyndon. You are right¡­ I probably need to let you go now." Lyndon gulped. He had conflicted emotions at that very moment. He somehow sympathized with Jam but one thing he could confirm was his heart belongs to only one woman, to Yera alone. With a heavy heart, Lyndon left Jam to be alone because he believed Jam needed to be alone as well since he was not of much help to make her feel better. Jam cried out loud when she felt Lndon was gone¡­ She kept hitting her chest because of the pain her heart was feeling. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialled a number. There was no more reason to blackmail Lyndon¡­ She would let him go now¡­ She was too tired already¡­ She wanted to go to a far place, to start a new life¡­ But right now, she should get wasted!!! She looked inside the cabinets and cursed when there was nothing alcoholic to drink. She had seen a bar nearby so she headed out for a heavy drink! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie could not meet Yera''s scrutinizing eyes boring into her. "Stop that darling. You are making them uncomfortable¡­" Xander commented as he sat beside his wife on the couch of Dion''s living area. He put the snacks on the center table and looked at Dion and Rizie who were seated at a separate couch on the left side. "Don''t mind Yera. She''s just a bit shocked with the relationship advancement of the two of you." Xander said laughing followed by a teasing glance to the two. They heard Yera exhale loudly and say, "Well, I do get it¡­ They are in a romantic relationship now but still¡­ Rizie living in with Dion? This will not leave a good impression of Dion if Rizie''s family finds out about it." Dion scratched his head while Rizie remained quiet. It was her idea all along but Dion had saved her grace in front of his family, by insisting that he was the one who requested her to stay with him. "What are you thinking?" Yera scolded her brother with narrowed eyes. "Let''s move into the mansion soon and I will get a caregiver to assist you." Yera nonchalantly stated. "No!" both Rizie and Dion said in the chorus. Yera rolled her eyes while Xander was grinning. He was eating some fruits while enjoying a good show before his eyes. His darling wife was a very strict and a conservative sister. Rizie and Dion were both weary. "Don''t worry Rizie¡­ I''m sure my wife will get him a male caregiver if you''re worried about some other woman assisting Dion," Xander teased more, adding more fuel to the fire. Rizie pouted her lips and vaguely elbowed Dion. "Sis¡­ Alright let''s move in soon but I refuse to get a caregiver besides uhm¡­" Dion responded but paused in the middle. "I also would like to bring Rizie there since she''s my personal assistant. She could help me better¡­" Dion added by paused once more. Yera touched her forehead as if she was having a heavy headache while Xander could no longer help but burst out in a fit of laughter because of how lame Dion was with his words. The boy had a long way to go. How come these two did not consult an expert like him before bringing up their relationship in front of Yera. Yera, on the other hand knew that the two of them were both grown up and mature, but she was just concerned about Dion''s situation if Rizie''s family found out about it. She had heard that Riizie''s family was a little conservative so it would leave a bad impression of Dion on them all. They might even think that Dion took advantage of Rizie. "No no no¡­ Rizie will not live in the mansion. Not until you both get married!" exclaimed Yera and looked directly at Dion. "What is the distance of Rizie''s condo from the mansion? No matter what or how far, the two of you can always find a way to meet, even if the distance is too much each of you can come halfway and meet each other. You''re the man and you should make efforts to court Rizie! It''s best to experience hardship along the journey because that way you can build a good foundation for your relationship. Don''t do shortcuts!" Yera advised that left Rizie and Dion''s mouth agape including Xander. Xander gulped and pondered, ''I think I did take a few shortcuts before?'' But he was proud because he had experienced hardsh.i.p.s along the journey if he must brag. Thawing Yera''s heart was not as simple as it seemed. He encountered emotional distress but it was all worth it. Both of them were actually in the marrying age, but it was still too early to get married, and it would be best that they get to know each other first. If he would give his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Rizie staying in the mansion near Dion, as long as they both did not go beyond their limits? But his wife did have her good reason too that could both protect Rizie and Dion''s reputation. Xander sighed and said, "how about we have some ice cream? Oh wait let''s watch a good movie over ice cream." Hopefully it killed the serious atmosphere. He looked at Dion and Rizie and both looked pitiful with their downcast expressions. When Yera went to the restroom, Xander winked at his brother-in-law and said, "Don''t worry. I will help you out later but make sure you will not do anything naughty inside the mansion together before marriage¡­" Rizie''s eyes widened in embarrassment and she almost splashed the ice cream in her mouth over Xander. Xander chuckled and continued, "Give me three days and she will allow Rizie to stay at Han Mansion." "Really? How?" Dion was not convinced otherwise. "Well I have my ways into things but let me tell you it''s not going to be for free¡­ If I happened to convince your sister then you owe me one. Someday I will ask for a favor and you must help me." Xander confidently offered and explained. Rizie''s mouth twitched. "Hmmp, just agree with him since he won''t be able to convince Yera anyway," Rizie mumbled. Yera did have a point but of course she still wanted to stay near Dion as much as possible because she was the one more used to of his presence near her every time, the one who would often bug Dion every now and then. It would be very difficult for her to stay far away from him. Xander laughed and countered, "Hey¡­ I absolutely beg to disagree." Then he looked at Dion and asked again, "So what? Do we have a deal?" Dion, who honestly thought that no one could move his sister, thought that Xander would just fail. He wondered how Xander would be able to convince his sister though? "Alright, we have a deal¡­" Dion replied and suddenly pursed his lips seeing his sister was already walking back towards them. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He cursed seeing the blood stain on the bed sheet. He abruptly sat on his bed to relax himself from the headache caused by the hangover last night. He turned at his bedside table to grab his phone and he noticed a small handwritten note under it, so he picked it up. It was Jam''s writing that said: [This will be the last time you''ll hear of me. From this day onwards I will try my best not to cross paths with you. Forget everything that happened last night. I''m not your responsibility. Good luck with your plans in the future. No more blackmailing so here is your security¡­ I''m not sure if I have a right to give advice but I do hope you do the right thing in the end. Love, Jam] Below Jam''s note was an address. Lyndon exhaled loudly. He had mixed emotions and was in a very conflicted disposal. Last night, a waiter called him using Jam''s mobile phone saying Jam was totally drunk and his number was saved as ''My Husband'' so the waiter called him first to inform him that Jam had passed out in the bar. When he arrived Jam was already awake but in a total mess encouraging him to drink because if he wouldn''t she won''t leave the bar with him. "I''m so stupid," he murmured while he recalled all that what happened last night. ....... At Yang Ancestral Mansion Days passed and Yera did not go back to Life Hospital since the board meeting. Lyndon was managing the hospital besides she had a lot of things to do and settle pertaining with their other properties. Old Master Yang''s face could be painted while he walked the couple out with their luggage. Xander could not help but commented, "Dad it''s just for one month. We will not stay there that long because Yera misses her home. Days will pass by so easily that you''ll not even notice we''re gone that long once we go back here." It was decided that it was best to move in at Han''s ancestral mansion immediately. "Yes father. We won''t be gone that long besides we will visit you often especially on weekends." Yera interrupted with a sweet and loving smile towards her father-in-law. Old Master Yang turned to the helpers that Yera would take with her since she had removed those hired by the Go''s. "All of you, make sure that these two won''t forget to drink the herbal medicines I have you guys brought whenever they are home or you will all be dead¡­" Old Master Han said and followed by a joking threat. "Aye Sir!" "Alright then that would be enough. Yes dear don''t forget this old man so make sure to keep your promise to visit me often," Old Master Han remarked with a wink. Yera chuckled and obediently nodded. As soon as their car entered the premises of Han property, Yera opened the car window and let her hand feel the cold air outside. The familiar scent of the trees invaded her nostrils, as they rode towards the main entrance. A beautiful smile lined perfectly on her lips. ''Grandpa, mom and dad¡­ I''m back to our home. I miss you.'' Yera silently murmured, hoping her grandfather and parents could see her taking back what was theirs. Xander smiled while he would sneak a peek at his wife who looked very happy. "If you enjoy staying here more while we''re here, we can actually permanently live here darling. I will just bring father here to stay with us," Xander stated because he honestly could not afford to leave his father to live by himself in a very huge mansion. Yera turned her head and affectionately smiled at Xander. She moved closer to Xander''s seat and leaned her head on her husband''s shoulder. She wrapped her arms on his and stated, "I want father to stay with us too so wherever we decide to settle then father will be with us of course. To be honest it doesn''t matter to me. I will just follow wherever you are because you''re my home. So it''s not up to me but up to you on where you plan to settle. I just want Dion to have a company for about a month so he could adjust well." Xander blushed without him knowing. Yera emitted a long sigh of relief as soon as she was at the front of their main door. The butler and household helpers that Yera trusted to retain were all outside welcoming the couple. It took some time to move back to Han''s mansion because Yera had it back to how it used to be. Instructing her butler to make sure not to leave a mark from anyone of the Gos who murdered her family. Yera excitedly grabbed Xander''s hand and walked inside. "Let me tour my house to my lovely husband." Yera sighed seeing the wall where the Han family portraits were displayed. She had ordered it to be removed because Juliet was present in every photo not to include Juliet''s husband in some. Han mansion was as big as the Yangs except that Xander had various sports facilities in their property while Yera''s had a huge garden surrounding the main residence. Xander wanted to see her room first so Yera guided him to her room at the first floor that remained vacant ever since she was gone. She opened the door and smiled seeing it was still the same as last time she recalled it. She went to her terrace where she had a better view of their beautiful garden filled with various plants and flowers to feast on the eyes. She felt Xander''s arms wrapped her waist from behind while he rested his chin on Yera''s shoulder and looked at the garden. "Darling, let''s have a wedding ceremony as soon as the verdict is out," Yera heard her husband whisper in her ear. "Hmm, alright. I guess then I have to make sure the verdict is granted as soon as possible." Yera answered smiling. She suddenly imagined herself wearing a wedding gown and walking towards Xander.... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

It was her first night in her room after so long. Somehow she felt relieved knowing that the trial for Juliet and Randy would begin the next day. Everything would go back to normal soon and she could feel it already. She looked at the wall clock and frowned. Her husband was still not back. She had received a call this afternoon after that he rushed out to meet some important people regarding Yang Globals group operations. Her mobile phone beeped and it was Xander. [Darling I already ate dinner¡­ I will be home soon in less than an hour. I feel like sleeping already but I must keep enough energy to work hard in producing six babies with you, so wait for me!] Seeing the message, Yera went down to quickly eat dinner and had a quick shower afterwards. She was combing her hair when Xander arrived. She noticed how her husband really looked so worn out. Xander kissed her and went directly to the bathroom to clean up. He tirelessly threw himself on the bed after changing and complained, "My head is spinning around. Oh, I''m so tired today." Yera suddenly thought to tease her husband and said, "Hmm go to bed now and rest. You''re completely drained out already to fill me with yourself the whole night¡­" Xander raised his body from the bed on his one elbow, because he somewhat sensed a challenge in Yera''s voice. "Darling, you do know I''m not drained ever when it comes to you, don''t you?" he boastfully declared. He heard Yera chuckle. "Just rest my tired darling and go to sleep decently tonight. We still have a lot of days and nights to make babies. And think about it, how will you satisfy the beast in me if you have no energy." Yera teased more, enjoying how her husband was unable to accept defeat. "Darling, you''re hurting my pride. How about we make a bet. I assure you I have enough energy even after such a hard day that I can make you beg me to spare you. If I am able to fulfill this condition and win over you tonight, then you have to grant me a request¡­" Yera was controlling her laughter but agreed with her husband because she felt that Xander was really too tired after the whole day. She bet he could only do one round or two maximum and would fall asleep afterwards. "Darling," she heard her husband''s call who was already on the bed, waiting for her to go over to begin with their bet. If Yera won, her husband would grant her a request too. Yera mischievously smiled and acted as if she was still busy combing her hair. In the mirror, she saw her husband rise up from the bed, step down and walk towards her. He was shirtless, showing off his sculpted abs and proportioned body with only his boxers hiding his assets. "Darling, you will have hair fall if you comb your hair that long." Xander commented while he gently grabbed the hairbrush from Yera''s hand and put it down on the table. Yera stood up from her chair and turned around to face Xander. "Why do I feel like you''re up to something naughty again?" Yera murmured when she felt Xander hands moving towards the innermost layer of her nightgown. Somehow she could sense that Xander would ask for something big from her if she lost. "Hmm, you started it. You challenged your husband''s stamina. Don''t tell me you''re chickening out already." Xander seductively murmured while his hand and fingers trailed up inside Yera''s nightgown. Yera felt her hairs rising with his warm hands caressing her skin inside her nightgown. "Hmm, me? Chickening out? No way! Darling just make sure you don''t pass out on me trying to satisfy my desires tonight." Yera gasped as Xander''s one hand moved further north, tracing her sensitive mounds inside and squeezing her melons with her sentence. Very soon, m.o.a.ning and panting sounds filled the room and Yera was brought to climax several times by her tired husband before he dug himself deeper in her and started his rhythm. After several hours and almost the entire night, Yera was panting hard already as Xander laid his back on the bed while hugging her on top of him. They both had reached another climax together and Yera thought that Xander was done now and had no more strength since his eyes were already closed. She smiled and murmured, "I won." She was about to move her body and get out on top of him to finally go to sleep, but to her horror she felt Xander''s member pushing inside her once more. "Not so fast darling," Xander breathed and abruptly moved on top of Yera. After another hour had passed, Yera was totally drained out and was sore in her lower body and even felt swelling especially in her inner thigh due to his rigorous and constant rubbing of himself. Her eyes widened, when her husband was moving and was brushing his member on her once more. "Oh stoppppp¡­ Let''s just sleep before I start to bleed. You won alright¡­" Yera begged, in total surrender. "Now fire your request¡­" Yera sluggishly continued. She felt too sticky already but did not dare to move out from Xander''s embrace because she was totally drained with the number of rounds they did it this night. Xander laughed and kissed Yera''s bare shoulder, her whole body still wrapped in his tight embrace from behind. "Next time don''t dare challenge your husband for his stamina darling¡­" Xander cheerfully jested. ''How could he even joke?'' Yera mused because she was even too tired to speak because of lack of energy. Then Xander told Yera his request. "What?" Yera burst-out. Xander repeated what he said, "Let''s allow Rizie in here since we both know that no one can take care of your brother better than her. Hmmm, at least give her a month to assist Dion? Anyway, I know my darling will keep her promise so¡­" Yera crumpled her face because obviously her husband was vaguely reiterating that she did not have much of a choice but to keep her word. "So this is what made you turn from a beast into an insatiable monster? You knew I wouldn''t agree in any condition otherwise. Alright, alright one month¡­ Only for a month¡­" Yera mumbled before she dozed off to sleep. Meanwhile, Xander could not help but smirk. He was not really tired. It was just an act but then her wife unexpectedly clicked the bait. ......¡­. The next morning, Dion received a text message from Xander. [You can now move in with Rizie into the mansion. Hurry up! Be fast and before your sister changes her mind come and settle here. If I were you - I would do the shifting right away so go pack-up now!!!] Dion almost choked on his coffee. "What happened? Are you alright?" Rizie asked while she raised another spoonful of congee to Dion. Dion did not respond but gave Rizie his mobile phone to read Xander''s message. "Wow he''s really good. He said three days but it only took him a day." Rizie commented with a wide smile. ''Seduction technique really works on the most strict people I guess, if even my sister can be swayed by beauty what can a normal human do in front of seduction?'' Dion inwardly thought. "Let''s go prepare as soon as you''re done eating¡­" Rizie excitedly uttered. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She was still laying around in bed when she heard the door open.'''' She opened her eyes groggily and saw Xander enter with a tray of food. He was already dressed up prim and proper, to go out. "Darling eat first then go back to sleep. It''s not good to skip a meal. I will update you about the trial later, for now you take rest." Yera lazily sat on the bed. Surprisingly, she was already feeling refreshed with a new nightgown on her and she didn''t even feel sticky. Her husband probably cleaned her up and she was too sleepy to even notice it. To be honest, she did not want to witness the trial because she did not want to hear the alibis and lies of that Go couple to protect themselves. It would be better not to watch any of it and just attend when there would be a final verdict for their sentence. "Hmm looks, tasty and yummy," Yera commented and hurriedly dug in since she was starving already. Xander watched her with amus.e.m.e.nt and teased, "But it''s not as yummy as you!" Yera almost choked and threw sharp daggers at Xander with her eyes. "Stop that or I''ll kill you. Was last night not enough for you? For all I know, you and Dion teamed up to corner me¡­" Yera accused him with twitched mouth before she continued to eat. Xander chuckled and said, "Darling how can you say that when it''s you who started it?" Yera ignored Xander and no longer responded. She started it? Knowing how cunning her husband could be, for sure it was his plan all along¡­ Intentionally, acting in front of her as if he was so tired¡­ "Darling, I will take your leave now. Yang Global Hospital will be back soon in operation and we will become enemies once more." Xander jested before he gave Yera a sounding kiss on her forehead, nose, cheek and lastly on her lips. Yera nodded and babbled, "Yes, enemies in business fighting in bed. Take care darling." Xander was left flabbergasted on her words and felt like just pressing her down once again and leaving later but all he could do was bend down, grab her chin, suck her lips and ravish her mouth completely. Yera was left speechless and shocked by his actions. "Right darling, this kind of fighting must always remain in action." With these words he kissed her again on forehead and gave her a peck on her lips and left. As soon as Xander left, Yera dialed her attorney. She was planning to merge her hospital with Xanders but she needed to consult things first because although she had a higher number of shares, still she should not disregard the other shareholders and she needed the approval of the board of directors for this merger. Then she called Ralf next. "How is she?" she asked the man on the other line. Yera wanted to make sure that Jam was doing okay. She knew Jam surely would be having a hard time at that moment. Though Jam and her were not in good terms but she still sympathized her situation, especially now that both her parents that she cherished had committed murder and were in police custody. She truly hoped that Jam could start a new life and at least choose the right path along the way. "Ma''am, she left the house early with all her luggage. She was driving towards the north¡­ I think she will go to the farthest province away from the city," commented Ralf on the other line. "Alright, ask your men to leave her once you confirm she''s in a safe place¡­" Yera instructed before she ended the call. It was a long debate, before Dion and Xander agreed to let Jam away. The two wanted to have Jam still be monitored by she insisted that it was needed. She had Jam be monitored for now just to make sure she would not do anything stupid to hurt herself. She had lost her parents and Lyndon. She had no one now except for herself and Yera knew it was not easy for her right now. She strongly believed Jam was not the one who was responsible for her abduction. Yes Jam was a bitch and probably wished her dead but was not rotten to the extent to execute something as dirty as killing a person. .........¡­.. Jam on the other hand decided to leave the city for good. Today was the beginning of the trial of her parents. She wanted to watch but she couldn''t face Yera. She left the City and was monitoring the situation through some people she paid for. She changed her number and mobile phone too. She wanted some solitude for herself. She drove to a province far from the city. She stopped the car to grab lunch at a small dining place at the side of the road. The surroundings were peaceful and Jam could see a lot of trees everywhere. The dining place seemed pretty old without any customer except her. ''Maybe because it is already late.'' Jam thought looking at her wrist watch and it was already three in the late afternoon. If not for the continuous grumbling of her stomach she would continue to drive as far as she could. Without her knowing, tears started to fall down her cheeks. How could she be this unlucky? Without a family and rejected by the man she loved. She felt like dying but she was afraid to die. Was her emptiness enough to end her own life? No! She would definitely find a reason to live! She did not want to die as a coward and most importantly die as a hopeless loser. But she was totally at a loss... An old lady approached her with a smile and said, "Miss what would you like to eat?" Jam wiped her tears and answered, "Please give me the best dish you have." The old lady nodded and left. Jam was startled when the old woman returned with some peanuts and tea. She put it on her table and said, "have some of these first while I cook your meal." Then the old lady held her hands to give her a small book. "Read it while you wait for the food, my child¡­" the old lady suggested with her warm smile then left. The book seemed old and overused. Jam stared at the book cover with the title ''The Purpose Driven Life'' then a subtitle written ''What on earth am I here for?'' Then she thought and silently asked herself, ''Why am I here? What is my purpose?'' She bit her lip and opened the first page, hoping the book could help her find the answers for all her queries somehow. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She got out of the bed, had a quick shower and went down to check the dining area for lunch. She was startled to find Dion and Rizie there and was even more shocked seeing Rizie feeding Dion with her own hands sitting comfortably in the dining area. "What the heck?" she unconsciously voiced out. "Good afternoon sis. Bro Xander said we can both move in here and should come here as soon as possible, so we just did this morning itself. He said not to disturb you because you were really tired¡­" Rizie greeted and Yera could sense the teasing in her tone. Yera unconsciously blushed in embarrassment, suddenly cursing her cunning husband silently.. "Uh yeah¡­ Did he mention it''s just for a month?" Yera mumbled and grabbed a plate to join the two for lunch. With a stoic face she sat in front of the two of them and began to eat. "You two, make sure not to do anythingnaughty¡­ Keep in mind that my eyes are constantly on you both, whenever I''m here." Yera commented with an arched eyebrow and the knife in her hand pointing at them, chilling them both with her gaze.. They both nodded in unison and their smiles turned into a straight line. ''Did she really has to scare us this much?'' Dion thought inwardly. She started eating her food and after a few dozen seconds looked at Dion and smiled. "Everything that you see in here is yours too. You''re home now brother, so feel free to roam around as and where you wish, except of course in Rizie''s room." Yera scorned. Rizie coughed while she watched how Yera burned Dion alive. Dion was too meek towards his sister and would only answer ''yes sis'' every once in a while. Rizie on the other hand behaved well too and did not show any public display of affection in front of Yera, except feeding Dion only in a casual way. She did not want to get kicked out and be separated with Dion of course. Rizie was relieved seeing Yera had finished eating and said, "I''ll go first." However, Yera paused and turned around to gesture to them the ''i am watching you'' fingers that left the two flabbergasted. "Your sister is too overprotective and strict," Rizie unconsciously whispered. "I know right?" Dion commented with a smile. Then he looked at Rizie and teasingly said, "You heard that right? I''m not allowed to go in your room but you can enter my room anytime you want¡­" Rizie pursed her lips and cringingly said, "Sis Yera is scary¡­" Ever since the truth about Dion was found out by Yera, Xander suggested that Dion call her sis, and even asked Rizie to call her so whenever they were not at work, saying that his wife would get the feeling that she had many family members loving her. "Yeah but my sis is cute¡­" Dion commented with a grin. "Let''s go to the garden. The weather is nice, there''s no sun and the wind is humid. It''s been awhile since I saw and had been to a garden." "Alright, lets go walk and burn the calories we just ate." Rizie replied and helped Dion to stand up. Dion smirked because he actually could manage on his own already. His wound was almost healed and he could move his arm quite easily, but he liked how Rizie was pampering him so he intentionally did not tell Rizie about it. "Wow, the garden really looks nice and it has such a romantic ambiance¡­" Rizie murmured. They were walking really slow because Rizie was afraid Dion would over exert himself. Dion smiled and suddenly said, "Riz, I want to meet your family once my body gets back to normal. I want to ask them for your hand¡­" Rizie''s eyes rounded while she stopped walking and faced Dion. "Hand? Isn''t it a bit fast? You mean hand in marriage? No! I''m not ready for it!" rizie straightforwardly burst out. Dion pursed his lips and explained, "I mean hand -- as a girlfriend. I think it''s better I introduce myself to them. What if I just randomly met them somewhere and did not recognize them? I want us to become official in their eyes too." "Oh¡­ I see. Alright let''s do that then. Please don''t get offended with my reaction. It''s just that I think it''s still early¡­ I don''t mean that I don''t want to marry you, okay? Don''t misunderstand me please. I want us to know each other a little more¡­" Rizie bashfully pointed out. Dion pursed his lips and remained quiet so Rizie pulled him to sit on the bench and asked, "Are you mad?" "No. I just thought that I would be rejected if I had proposed to you at that moment." Dion simply answered. Rizie''s eyes widened while she burst, "Of course YES! So don''t you dare propose to me this early." Dion felt Rizie''s hands and consoled and comforted her by gently squeezing them. "Let''s enjoy each other''s company at first okay? Let''s just take one step at a time¡­" he heard Rizie whisper. Meanwhile, Yera was back to her room and was on the terrace having tea. She smiled while she watched her brother from above strolling in the garden with Rizie. Honestly, she was glad for the two of them, though she was really shocked about it. Her brother would often complain about how bothersome Rizie could be and it turned out that Dion was a willing victim who loved to be bothered. Later, she would ask Dion to invite his mother to their country. She really wanted to meet her since she admired Dion''s mother too much, for raising such a good man on her own. "You''ve always been protecting me¡­ This time big sis will take good care of you." she whispered with a loving smile. She had gained another family and hopefully Rizie would be added to the family soon. She unexpectedly splashed the tea out from her mouth when she saw Rizie, out of the blue, kiss Dion on his cheek. "What the heck is that?" Yera shockingly murmured and her eyes widened even more when her brother Dion pulled Rizie in for another kiss and this time it was on the lips. Yera felt like she was watching a romance movie where the characters were on a date to a romantic garden. She abruptly stood up and went inside her room. She should stay out of the mansion a little more for this span of a month! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Later she would also consult Dion about her ideas of changes in the mansion. Yang Mansion was a bit modernized compared to their mansion and she believed Dion would prefer a modernized version of home as well. Her thoughts were interrupted when her mobile phone rang and it was Ralf, confirming Jam had found a place to settle down and it was a safe place. ''That''s good¡­'' she thought as the call ended. Today, she had relaxed at home most of the time but she was still sore and a few parts of her body were still aching. She inwardly cursed and kicked her husband in her thoughts then promised that she would definitely kick her husband out of bed if he tried to do anything naughty again at night. She was deeply buried in her own world of thoughts when she was startled by the soft touch of a pair of arms that suddenly wrapped on hers. It was Rizie who cheerfully said, "Sis, I''ll accompany you as you stroll around." "Where''s Dion?" she asked. "He''s resting now. The maid said you''re strolling around here so I came by. Isn''t it nice to be back in your home¡­" Rizie commented while she enjoyed the perfect landscaping at Yera''s property. "Yes and I''m grateful to you and everyone for helping me out. I would not be able to succeed alone without you guys helping me out unconditionally." Yera sincerely stated. She owed so much to Rizie too. "Nah¡­ I told you it''s nothing but sis if you really feel indebted then I can ask for repayment," Rizie bluntly expressed with her evil smile and Yera could almost tell what repayment this little brat would ask for. Yera answered her with the same evil grin and murmured, "Hmm of course ask anything you want and I will give except for Dion." Rizie crumpled her face and childishly murmured, "I want nothing else except for him. Sis I already have everything and am already content with what I have but can I get a little greedy and have your little brother for me?" "Hmmm, no. Let me have him for a year only for myself first, then I will give him to you¡­" Yera commented in a jest. "Hmm, a lot can happen in a year. Maybe I will get tired of your brother in just a few weeks, so it might not take me that long to return him back to you." Rizie answered in a jest too. Yera''s face suddenly became serious as she paused walking to look at Rizie. "What?" Rizie asked. "I recall you have issues with your stability with jobs and you easily get tired of one work and shift to another. Don''t tell me the same goes for men too in your life?" Yera curiously asked. Rizie bit her lip. For a second she wanted the ground to eat her wholly. She hesitated if she should honestly tell Yera everything or just leave it and tell her a white lie but then the thought of Yera getting her profile and background checked was too easy and things could get complicated if she would not be honest to her. "Before¡­ Uhn yeah¡­ But I was still young at that time, besides I don''t consider those men. I mean I think they are not counted¡­" "Huh? Please elaborate?" Yera pondered. "The longest relationship I could have was just for one month. I dumped men after maximum a month of relationship," Rizie murmured with a slightly bowed head because of embarrassment. "What?!" Yera burst out in shock. Would Rizie dump her poor little brother after a month as well? "But I feel Dion is different, he has a very special place in my heart and mind, though I still can''t confirm anything¡­" Rizie couldn''t lie because she was not sure herself if she would finally surpass a month being into a relationship or not! Yera placed her palm on her forehead and asked Rizie for the two of them to sit on the nearest bench to talk. "Did Dion know about your problem of getting bored easily with things?" Yera asked and Rizie nodded. She told Yera that Dion also knew that she was seeing Dr. Dee because of this problem. "No, I mean not just at work and things but in relationsh.i.p.s too?" Yera specifically questioned. This time Rizie shook her head because she thought it was not necessary to tell Dion about that matter, since she believed that what she felt for Dion was strong enough for her to last more than a month and she told Yera about it. "I think you should still tell Dion about it so that he''s aware just in case¡­" Yera expressed her concern because that way at least Dion was aware about her illness, just in case Rizie got bored of him easily. Rizie was still young, really much younger than Dion so she understood that she must be in that stage of not getting serious when it came to a relationship and Yera was worried because Dion seemed to be getting deeper into Rizie especially now that Rizie was taking care of him. Rizie noticed the worried look on Yera''s face and she wanted to assure her but somehow she did not want to promise a thing because no one knew the future. She herself was not that confident too. For now, she was sure that she liked Dion and she always wanted to be in his presence. She herself wanted to see if she could overcome a month. This was actually the reason why she did not want to answer Dion before. She reiterated to him that they should keep their friendship instead and should not get involved with each other romantically. She was afraid to lose Dion in the end if she ended up getting bored in their relationship. But then that shooting happened and she was too scared to lose Dion and not tell him how she liked him too. Yera was right, she should tell this to Dion. "I will tell him about it¡­" were the only words that came out of Rizie''s mouth. Yera smiled and nodded. Rizie was a good friend and almost like a younger sister to her already so whatever happened between the two of them she would still accept Rizie with arms wide open as her older sister. Yera stood up and held Rizie''s hand. "How about you join me for a movie?" Yera suggested. Rizie answered her with a half smile and stood up from the bench too. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera stepped out of her car and was ceremoniously welcomed and greeted outside by the directors and high ranking officers of the hospital including the doctors. Yera''s eyebrows arched as she addressed, "Why are all doctors in here? Get out of my sight and attend to the patients¡­" That instant, all doctors dispersed and almost ran back to their posts. "This will be the last time that you have to greet me like this. Next time when I arrive, I don''t want people following me behind my back like bodyguards. I have enough of them and do not follow me around in row. Shan would inform the people I would need early in the morning to talk to as I do my inspection, so If you''re not informed then there''s no need to wait for me at the entrance like now." Yera instructed. "Yes Chairwoman!" everyone answered in chorus. As she went inside the hospital entrance everyone who was on her back followed her around with her initial routine to inspect how the hospital had been doing overall while she was away. As she did her rounds, the officer in charge of every department would report to her the changes that were recently done in their department including things that needed improvement in the hospital as suggested by the patients submitted in their suggestion and complaint office. Lyndon was following her along with all other people and Yera could sense him staring at her back most of the time. She even addressed him twice just like now, "CEO Chu." "Oh yeah right I''m sorry. Yes we made a lot of changes in here. We have already ordered more modernized equipment to replace the old ones.." Lyndon explained, cursing himself inwardly. He could not still believe that Yera was real and standing before him now, he couldn''t believe that she was with them in the disguise of Dr. Deyna Song all along. But why would the DNA test come out negative? ''Stupid, do you have to ask? Of course she''s protecting her identity not to mention the powerful family backing her up all along.'' his inner self slapped him hard. It was natural that every staff was murmuring to each other after Yera would pass through them. They were in awe and were really amazed by how everything had unfolded. They were all sympathizing with Yera and at the same time admired her confidence and strength in handling her situation so well. "She''s really lucky¡­ I mean who would have thought someone could survive like that in that rapids. I searched the place where that Chief Doctor Song had found her and it was not almost on the map! But Doctor Song was a very known doctor during early years. Someone who was very good in ornamental medicine. No wonder Doctor Han is so good too, she can apply her knowledge in both areas in medicine¡­" one of the curious doctors who got inspired with her story murmured to the nurse beside him while they watched Chairman Han''s back walking out to her next destination. But what was inciting the curiosity of everyone was if the interrupted engagement of the Chairwoman and the CEO would still pursue since the Chairwoman had already gained her memory back and that included her engagement with CEO Lyndon Chu. Meanwhile everyone at her back paused as Yera reached her office. She turned around and dismissed everyone except for Lyndon who she thought she should have a serious talk with. Lyndon followed Yera in her office and as soon as the door was shut down, Yera was puzzled when Lyndon suddenly pulled her in for a tight hug. "Just for a minute Yera please, just for a minute... Let''s just stay like this¡­ Oh God, if you only knew how I missed you and wanted to hug you ever since I saw you but I had to restrain myself and keep in mind that you''re Dr. Song and not the Yera Han I loved¡­" Lyndon murmured as tears began to fall down his cheeks. He was sobbing hard, feeling really relieved that Yera was alive. Yera tried to push Lyndon away and get herself out from his tight embrace. "Lyndon, that''s enough please. I don''t want my husband to get the wrong impression¡­" Yera whispered because she could not get out of Lyndon''s arms, grateful that Xander was not there at that moment or else it would have resulted in a world war. Lyndon was startled with Yera''s words so he loosened his arms and let her go. He stood frozen, totally in shock. Yera called for Shan to get tea for them and walked and sat on her couch. She empathetically looked at Lyndon who stood like a statue on his spot. Yera heaved a frustrated sigh and said, "Lyndon, please compose yourself and come and sit down here. We need to talk." Lyndon who finally came back to reality sat and murmured, "You''re married? Who?" Then he recalled what Jam had told him that Yera already had a man and Jam was suggesting it was Xander Xang. Lyndon could feel the piercing of a sharp knife through his heart as the possibility crossed his mind. Was it really true? That bastard. "Xander Yang?" he could not help but whisper in disbelief in a questioning tone. Yera simply nodded as an answer. Lyndon felt his world had crumpled apart. Yera was alive but was suddenly already married? Did that even make any sense at all? When did she get married? Why did she? A lot of questions started to haunt Lyndon silently while his expression was still in disbelief, staring at the woman whom he had loved all his life, his only love of life. ''Is this my punishment for my mistake?'' he silently questioned himself. He could not process it at all that he wanted to smack his head on the wall to make everything in his brain cells in place. Yera exhaled another breath and said, "No one know about it but the only closest friends I have. I hope you cooperate and keep this for yourself only. I want to be honest Lyndon and I don''t want you to get any false hope at all. I believe I don''t have to explain everything else but to only tell you the fact that I married Xander Yang and I''m very much in love with my husband." ''How can you be so cruel, Yera, telling that to my face like I am nothing into your life before?'' Lyndon cried out in silence. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She had been practicing the whole night before on how to approach Dion and open the topic about her problem of breaking up within one month in all her previous relationsh.i.p.s, she was finding it all weird and hard to put it in words. Her thoughts ran wild, would it be better to just say it straightforwardly, to the point, or maybe she should strike a conversation first and would lead to the topic. She did not know why but she suddenly felt scared. Till now she was not able to decide about how she should start the topic and open up to Dion. "Miss Rizie, the lunch is ready. Shall I have it served already?" the cook who came out from the kitchen asked her. "Yes please, I''ll go fetch Dion," Rizie answered with a smile before hurrying upstairs. She went inside Dion''s room and did not find him there. ''Where is he?'' Rizie thought and grabbed her mobile phone to call Dion. The mansion was too big and she did not have the energy right now to go around and look for him. "Where are you? Lunch is ready." Rizie asked while biting her fingernails. She would often bite her nails whenever she was nervous or in conflicted emotions. ""I''m at my father''s library. Come here¡­ Let me show you something¡­" Rizie heard Dion from the other line who then gave her the instruction on how to find his father''s library. Rizie entered inside the door not far from Dion''s room. The library was pretty big,like the ones they had in school. She bet a lot of rich people had it like this. It was very organized and labeled properly for different types and subjects of books. ''Dion''s father and grandfather must be very fond of reading all kinds of books.'' Rizie thought. She saw Dion, sitting comfortably on one couch, reading something intently, so she walked towards him and sat down beside him. "What is that?" she asked while she looked at the book he was reading. "It''s my father''s journal." Dion commented and Rizie noticed that the notes were all handwritten. "I found this inside his drawer. Good thing those Go''s did not bother to check it. They didn''t have the kind of passion for reading as did my father and grandfather it seems. They must not have even thought about how important things are kept here in the library. Riz, my father seems to be a serious and deep type of person¡­" Dion commented after reading several pages already where he was able to know his father more, like his perspective and how he thinks about life. Rizie noticed Dion grin so she asked, "Why? What is it that you read that made you smile?" "Father was sure a very romantic person¡­ He says here that in a relationship you must learn to appreciate it for it to last. Avoid the trial and error method, because when you feel that you''re no longer comfortable, you would easily give up¡­" Dion stated that made Rizie gulp. She even abruptly pulled the journal out from Dion''s hands while she remarked, "Are you sure it''s written in here and you''re just not adding it?" Dion laughed and said, "Yeah¡­ Read it yourself. Why would I add that? Oh I see you''re just probably hungry¡­. Give me that and I''ll continue to read it later. For now let''s go down and eat." Rizie''s eyes widened when she read the sentences with her own eyes. ''Was this a coincidence?'' she still could not believe it. Rizie closed the journal with pouted lips. She held Dion''s hand and gently squeezed it. "I need to tell you something," she seriously murmured. Dion was startled by how serious Rizie looked so he answered, "I''m listening." Rizie then began to tell Dion about her previous relationsh.i.p.s and how all of them did not work-out for more than a month, probably because she got easily bored with them like how she got bored with her work and other things. She bit her lower lip seeing how expressionless Dion''s face was. After a few minutes of silence, Dion stood up as if he did not hear a thing and held her hand. "My stomach is grumbling. Let''s eat first¡­" Dion said with a smile. ''Is that it?'' Rizie, confusedly pondered. As they walked in the hallway, Rizie paused because she found it weird that Dion had no reactions at all. She only saw him listening very seriously to her, but there was no comment even once and she found it really weird. Dion turned around and asked, "Why?" Rizie pursed her lips and commented, "How come you''re so quiet. You know how uneasy I am when you''re quiet like that and just change the topic as if you have heard nothing?" Dion released a long deep sigh before he smiled and said, "Honestly, I was expecting that already but you don''t have to think about it or be bothered about it at all. Just do what you want to do and be honest with your feelings towards me while as far as i am concerned¡­ I know what I got to do to keep you with me¡­ not just for a month." Rizie creased her forehead, her facial expression was clearly saying that she was not convinced otherwise. Dion pulled her closer and cupped her face. Then with a reassuring smile he whispered, "How come you look more bothered than me? If you''re that worried then try your best not to dump this poor lovestruck man after a month. How about that?" Dion already knew about it because Rui had mentioned it when he asked about Rizie''s case, about getting bored easily. He could still remember Rui commenting that it was a hundred percent possibility that in relationsh.i.p.s too, Rizie would easily get bored. Rui said that Rizie''s case was a deep psychological impression of her insecurities because she grew up without a father, so she always found it hard to stick to any one person or thing with a fear that they may leave her later on, so she unconsciously left them first, before they did. Dion understood her well. Rizie was struggling with a psychological trauma, she had a deep rooted fear in her heart of losing someone very close to her, like the fear she felt when her grandmother was rushed to the hospital, where he offered her his handkerchief and consoled her with his encouraging words. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

The opening ceremony went well and everyone was glad especially the staff and medical teams of the hospital who were once again back in action to give their best services to the people. This time around the security in the hospital was tighter and top notch techniques were installed for capturing the faces of every person entering inside the hospital as well as for the staff. Security was also heightened and everyone would also have to undergo facial recognition as they entered, making sure that everyone who would come and go inside the hospital would be properly recognized and recorded. Yang Globals group also organised a c.o.c.ktail party in the evening where everyone was invited. It was a formal event organized to celebrate the reopening of the hospital where many known personalities were invited who would also perform and grace the event. Xander wanted Yera to go there but the latter refused saying it would not be a good idea at this time for them to be seen together though everyone was aware that Yang Globals group had sent the invitation for high ranking officials at Life Hospitals group. The event would be held at one of the most prestigious hotels in the Capital City and since Yera did not want to come Xander went there directly in his dark emerald turtle neck paired with a medium grey suit. He even took a selfie in the car and sent it to Yera. Yera was already in the Han Mansion when she received Xander''s photo. "What the heck¡­" she mumbled with a grin. Her husband looked handsome in his c.o.c.ktail suit. Her eyebrow arched while she read his message. [Are you sure you won''t come? Aren''t you afraid that your husband would get eaten alive with this handsome face? You do know that the organizers have invited a lot of beautiful celebrity performers, models and some heiress who are still a bachelorette that surely would race to get my attention in that simple event this evening?] Yera twirled her mouth and murmured, "That''s so awkward." Imagine her with Xander in everyone''s eyes. Surely it would be a shock for everyone to see. Yera typed her reply while she tiredly sat on the side of the bed. [Nah, enjoy the party darling. You know that I''m not into parties too.] Her mobile phone beeped and Xander''s message popped up. [Alright darling¡­ I''ll be home a bit late but I''ll try to sneak out. Don''t wait for me and rest early. I love you.] Yera replied with ''I love you too'' followed by a kiss and hug emojis. She recalled her c.o.c.ktail dress that would fit and match Xander''s outfit. She stood up and checked the closet to see it. If she would go¡­ and be with Xander¡­ It would be as good as announcing to the world her relationship with him. But she wondered how it would impact everything, especially her position in the hospital. She wanted to merge the two groups but she should plan it well with the perfect presentation showing all the benefits and advantages. Not all the board of directors were easy to deal with. There were a lot of people who were greedy for position and would take this opportunity to pull her down. She was aware that almost all of them were kissing Lyndon''s ass already before she showed up as Yera han. She heard knocks on her door and it was Rizie''s voice so she said, "Come in¡­" Rizie entered smiling and said, "I heard you will not attend the party tonight. It''s still early. Would you like to play scribble with me and Dion in his room?" Yera smiled and nodded. "I''ll just go change and join you guys in a minute." "Alright¡­" Rizie mumbled before leaving Yera. After some time, Yera walked towards Dion''s room. The three enjoyed various games while having some snacks. "Let''s see in the evening news how the party Yang Globals organized is doing. I heard they invited a lot of celebrities so I''m sure they will give that party good air time, even a longer live broadcast is possible." Rizie commented and grabbed the remote to open Dion''s television. A few more minutes passed before the event for the entertainment news was broadcasted. "Wow¡­ Brione is there and Xander is her escort?" Rizie burst and quickly halted when Dion elbowed her. Yera was expressionless while she watched Brione snake her arms at her husband''s for the picture taking. The broadcasting was live and the party had not started yet. It was like a red carpet where Yang Globals gave their employees the opportunities to have their own photos together with the celebrities and the famous people in the town. Rizie and Dion exchanged meaningful glances because it was already Yera''s turn in the game. Neither of them bothered to remind Yera about the game because the latter was too focused on the television. That time, the camera was focussed at the CEO of Yang Globals group who was very friendly to all. He was a real magnet because almost all women wanted to click a photo with him and Xander accommodated them all with his trademark smile. Yera was still calm for some time but abruptly stood up from her chair and walked in a hurry out of Dion''s room. "What was that?" Rizie murmured while she looked at Dion''s door from where Yera rushed out. "Look at the TV¡­" Dion commented so Rizie did. There was a commotion on the screen and the camera was focused on Xander who was on the ground and on top of him was a woman. "Who is that?" Rizie howled. The woman wore a s.e.xy outfit and they had caught a lot of attention in that position. "What happened?" she exclaimed. Dion shrugged his shoulders and simply commented, "she probably slipped and was disbalanced¡­ Bro rescued her but they ended up falling together with her on top of bro-in-law?" "Wait¡­ Isn''t that Dr. Yao?" Rizie confirmed when the camera was focussed at the woman on top of Xander. "Hmmm, yeah. Go fetch sis¡­" Dion murmured that made Rizie raise her eyebrow. "Fetch from where? At the party?" she mumbled because she was sure Yera would crash the party in no time. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was somewhat grateful that his wife did not happen to attend the event because he was surrounded by women beyond his control. There was media everywhere and cameras flashing right and left so he should act as a gentleman. He cursed inside while he signaled at assistant Ron to do something to get him out of his current position already. He recalled how vaguely his wife punished him with the UTI thing in the hospital when the nurses flirted with him. He was hoping Yera, his wife, would not even bother to open the television and watch the entertainment news or he would be doomed tonight. "Dr. Yang!" exclaimed a familiar voice at Xander''s side. The flashes of the camera was hindering him to have a proper look at the woman from a distance. But as she walked towards him, Xander recognized her impeccable smile. "Dr. Yao?" Xander murmured. Dr. Yao winked at him and effortlessly drove away the women who were beside Xander. "Where''s Rui?" that was the first words Xander muttered because they were supposed to be together. Dr. Yao raised her eyebrow with her smile still plastered perfectly on the camera while she casually wrapped her arms on Xanders. "I''m not sure where that meddler feeling detec¡­" Dr. Yao paused and Xander noticed how her face became gloomy as she looked at the crowd not to mention the narrowing of her eyes. "Is everything al-" before Xander could finish to say his words he felt the sudden movement from Dr. Yao causing him to lose his imbalance while he caught her weight. The two of them fell on the ground with Dr. Yao on top of him. "Are you alright?" Xander murmured, checking if Dr. Yao was hurt anywhere or not. The latter gave him a smile before she responded, "I''m fine Dr. CEO. I''m sorry I think I scratched your arm with my bracelet." He saw Dr. Yao quickly got up from the top of him while Xander followed and checked his arm that Dr. Yao was referring to. "Huh? Is her bracelet that sharp to slice my sleeve?" Xander muttered dumbconfounded because it looked like a knife had passed through it. He was about to ask her to not wear such sharp objects and to look at Dr. Yao''s bracelet but she was already nowhere to be found. ''Where the heck did that woman go?'' Xander muttered. By the time that more women were about to flock at Xander, his assistant Ron and his security immediately assisted him inside the venue for the party. "What took you so long?" Xander scolded as soon as they were inside the function hall. It was cozily decorated where c.o.c.ktail drinks were served left and right. The program was about to start where Xander would give opening remarks. After a few more minutes the host of the party called out the attention of everyone. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Before our evening starts, we will have a remark from our Dr. CEO who is always giving his best for Yang Global. Let''s give a round of applause to the man of the hour - our Dr. CEO Xander Yang." Everyone clapped their hands and Xander went on the center stage with his beautiful smile while he slightly bowed at everyone and gestured to them to stop clapping. "Yang Globals Group did face a lot of trials this year but because of your help and support we are able to overcome it. And now we are once again back to¡­" Xander hanged his words and pointed the microphone at the audience. Who excitedly shouted, ""save more lives!!!" "Alright¡­ I won''t make this long but let''s hope for the best in the future. Let''s give our best to all our patients and treat them like a family. Enjoy everyone!" Xander ended with a blissful smile and he received a very warm and loud round of applause from the crowd. As Xander went off the stage, he noticed that the crowd''s attention seemed to be stolen by someone who was fixed at a particular spot. "What''s going on?" Xander muttered to assistant Ron, seeing most reporters and flashes on the spot near the entrance. Ron was about to leave to check it when Xander suddenly said, "Stop. I''ll go and check it." Xander walked towards that spot to welcome whoever that was who was a latecomer and yet gaining a lot of attention. His jaw dropped seeing his lovely wife was the latecomer who was the center of attention. ''My darling looks so stunning!'' he gasped, seeing how s.e.xy his wife looked in her dark emerald one shoulder high split c.o.c.ktail dress emphasizing her supple porcelain bare shoulders and her bosoms. The dress was a below knee length but what was with that freaking slit! Xander almost ran through her while he unconsciously removed his suit to cover Yera''s top but Yera removed it and mumbled, "Mr. Yang must I remind you that I''m no longer Dr. Deyna Song. It''s Yera Han." Xander gulped feeling the chilliness and cold as ice tone of his wife. Xander cursed because at that point he knew that his wife had witnessed everything. The burning gazes of his wife were almost killing him on the spot. ''Darling, it''s not my fault¡­'' Xander pleaded for mercy with his humble eyes on his wife but he was ignored. Yera smiled at everyone and scorned, "Hmm, it seems like the CEO of Yang Globals group enjoys the company of many gorgeous women. I wonder if he will also enjoy the company of his opponent¡­" Xander wanted the ground to eat him alive that instant. He almost lost breath when he felt her wife''s cold arms encircling his arm while she declared, "How about I have this gorgeous Dr. CEO the whole night and let''s see if he will also enjoy the company of his mortal enemy as well?" ''He''s so doomed!'' assistant Ron mused while he watched the scene of the couple not that far. But he must admit, the madame''s way to shoo away all the women from his Boss was really admirable. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera mumbled to herself as she rushed back inside her bedroom. She went straight to her walk-in closet to grab her dress and shoes. "Let''s see if you''ll be able to enjoy the night flirting with those fake faces, you playboy!" Yera irritably hissed as she stripped her nightwear gown and quickly put on her dress. While she was wearing her shoes she dialed June and put him at loudspeaker. "Prepare the car now and make sure that we''ll arrive at Yang Globals event in fifteen minutes!" Yera instructed. Then she suddenly added, "No wait let''s drop at Nika''s salon first!" Yera ended the call and quickly called Nika, "I need my hair and make up done along the way. I will pick you up in three minutes." Nika was her hairdresser. She had seen that every woman was in her best hair and make-up and she was not good at makeup and doing hair. As soon as she wore her shoes. She immediately went down and jumped inside her car. ''Let''s go!" she howled. Meanwhile, Nika did wonders on Yera in a very short span of time with a fishtail braid hairstyle on her long hair with a light make-up that perfectly complemented the color of her dress. As instructed, Yera arrived at the event not more than fifteen minutes later. She exhaled loudly and stepped inside the venue right at the moment when her husband had just finished his remark. ''You womanizer Yang! I''m going to cage you tonight!'' Yera growled silently as she walked proudly inside the party. Everyone was caught off guard seeing her there because they thought she would not come knowing how strict she was with time when it came to gathering. ''You''re dead meat!'' Yera silently vowed before she released her beautiful smile seeing Xander was almost near her. Lyndon, who was also invited to the party, saw the commotion and was distracted by seeing Yera there and when he witnessed how Yera guarded Xander from other women his heart clenched and he felt very sour. "Give me that!" he hissed at the waiter with a tray of drinks and quickly drank one glass. "Wow Doctor Han is really something. What a way to torture her mortal enemy? To me it looks like she''s guarding a lover more than torturing her enemy¡­" Dr. Dwayne nonchalantly commented. "Hey, did you talk to her about your engagement before she went missing?" Dr. Dwayne continued to ask because ever since Yera had revealed her identity, Lyndon remained quiet. Even the plans they previously had for the hospital were all put on hold because they were all waiting for his signal. Lyndon gritted his teeth with his gloomy face. He grabbed another glass from the waiter and drank it straight in a single gulp. He felt that he needed more so he grabbed more shots. To be honest, he was already contemplating whether to attend the party or not but when Yera said she would not come, he did because he wanted to personally talk to Xander without bothering to get in touch with him first by any means. But Yera''s arrival made him realize that it was really over. Yera would never look at him like she looked at Xander and it really hurt him too much. "Hey, slowdown," Dr. Dwayne reminded him. Lyndon on the other hand ignored Dr. Dwayne and continued to drink before walking out of the party without even starting. He could see those meaningful glances on him especially those who could remember that he was once engaged with Chairwoman Yera Han. Meanwhile, Yera did not leave Xander''s arm at all. "Darling, I- umm the pa-rty¡­ I''m the h-ost and it''s qui-te hard to e-scape tho-se wome-n linkin¡­" Xander was stuttering as he tried to explain himself. His wife looked like a dragon ready to breathe fire out from her aura. Yera noticed the unusual slashed on Xander''s sleeve she was holding. She looked at him with her raised eyebrows and asked, "Why is your sleeve slashed like this?" Xander gulped but quickly answered, "Dr. Yao''s bracelet seemed to uhm¡­" "Is she wearing a blade as the bracelet darling?" Yera murmured with a twitched mouth. She was too irritated while she composed herself and kept a smile seeing some reporters approaching them. "Darling are we going to create a scandal?" Xander excitedly whispered. His face suddenly brightened at the thought that they would finally show everyone their real relationship. "No! Handle this yourself! You''re dead as soon as you spill that we''re married¡­" Yera mumbled. Before Xander could react the reporters were already at their spot, asking a lot of questions but what outshined it all was the question on how was he with Chairwoman Han given that the latter had worked under him while her memory was not back. Xander answered them all with his loveable smile before he answered, "Chairwoman Han is the woman of my dream so I''m planning to work my way into countering her words of ''mortal enemy'' and change it into ''mortal lover''. All the reporters were left shocked, with their mouth agape, with that answer but before they could fire more questions, Xander continued, "Could you please give us some privacy for the night because I will not succeed in my goal if we will get disturbed every now and then¡­" The reporters almost cut their tongue tied with Xander''s bluntless. They were left speechless as they followed Xander''s back who pulled Yera at a solemn spot, away from the whole crowd. "What was that? Is he serious or joking?" one of the reporters murmured. "We do know that CEO Xander Yang''s always meant every word even if he delivers it in a joke so I guess it''s true¡­ Mortal enemy to mortal lover - i will have it captioned well on my next article," answered one of the reporters with a smirk. "But guys, are you also aware that Yera Han had a relationship with Xander Yang''s cousin before? The deceased CEO of Cooper Entertainment, the one who looked like Xander Yang. Their mothers were twins so the two boys are often mistaken as twins too since both got their facial features from their mothers." one of the crowds muttered. The reporter''s attention was caught by the man in his suit and tie. "Here is my calling card in case any of you would like to contact me¡­" The man said with a smirk before he immediately disappeared like a flash. "Who was that?" murmured one of the reporters while he looked at the calling card. His eyes widened reading the words ''YUE Group'' "Fu*ck¡­" cursed one of the reporters. Who would dare have the courage to contact that man? Yue Group was one of the organized crime groups worldwide and those who dared enter their premises just disappeared in thin air if the group was not pleased though there were some who were lucky enough to remain unscathed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Everyone was wondering if the two were having a good relationship or in a relationship already. Among the guests was also Mr. Lua who was one of the shareholders and board of directors at the Life Hospitals group. He was not pleased with how close their Chairwoman was with the CEO of Yang Globals group who was also the heir of the said group. It could be a huge problem if those two would have a good relationship and the worst part was a possible merger of the two companies, because if that happened, it would affect all his hidden plans that had been baking in the oven for so many years. He looked for Lyndon and cursed seeing the latter walk out of the party just like that. Lyndon was becoming useless ever since Yera appeared in the hospital as Dr. Deyna Song and he was too disappointed. He thought Lyndon could take over soon and then it would be easier for him to kick Lyndon away afterwards because he had something up his sleeves that could bring Lyndon down in a flash. He looked at Dr. Dwayne and signaled the latter to follow Lyndon. Then he looked at Yera who was with Xander. He shook his head and sniggered as he wondered how long could the woman''s luck last. ''After that long thorny journey, look how strong and tall your granddaughter is standing, Luke¡­'' Mr. Lua mused with an arched brow before drinking his shots. His mobile phone rang and he smiled seeing it was his granddaughter Cali. Knowing that Yera had a brother having his beautiful granddaughter back in their country could be put up to some good use. Meanwhile, Xander was so attentive to his wife that he did not bother about his image in anyone''s eyes, he kept on fawning over her the whole time. His suit was still hanging on Yera, covering her bare shoulders. After a few more minutes, Xander signalled Ron for a sneak exit. "Darling, let''s go home¡­" Xander mumbled because he was not comfortable with his wife''s revealing outfit, he couldn''t tolerate the feeling that another man had that opportunity to see his gem. Yera was honestly tired too and would rather go home than stay at the party. Xander whispered to her where she should walk to secretly get inside his car so she obliged. Before Yera went out, she took her time to bid farewell to those she knew. "Chairwoman, I thought you would not come but it''s nice to see you here. I''m hoping that the reopening of Yang Globals'' head hospital will not cause harm to our group¡­ especially now that almost all their patients have transferred to us." whispered Mr. Lua who managed to get a hold of Yera before she reached the exit door. Yera narrowed her eyes but quickly gave the old man her reassuring smile while she responded, "Of course it won''t Mr. Lua. As long as we give our patients the best and sincere care and service, there''s nothing to worry about¡­ Anyhow, I will leave first and enjoy the party." Yera let out a long sigh as soon as she turned her back to Mr. Lua and continued to walk to the exit door. Mr. Lua was one of the families that pioneered the success of their group along with her grandfather and she was aware that the old man was one who would oppose her on her intended merger with Yang Globals group. She could almost predict how big a headache it would be in convincing the old man. Xander''s men guided her towards the parking lot after clearing the whole area. Yera was guided to the passenger seat of Xander''s car. Her eyebrows arched at the thought that Xander himself would drive the car. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialed her husband''s number. "If you''re not here in three minutes I will leave¡­" Yera simply uttered in her serious voice before ending the call. She wanted to see if her dear husband would be able to escape all those predators inside the party and be with her in three minutes. Yera set her timer on her mobile phone and she was startled when the driver''s door suddenly opened. "See how fast and obedient your husband is?" Xander mumbled. He leaned towards Yera to grab her seatbelt and put it on Yera followed by a sounding kiss on her lips. Yera''s irritation was quickly dissipated with that simple and warm kiss from her husband. Xander started the car''s engine and before he hit the gas he winked at Yera and said, "Be ready because tomorrow we''ll be in a scandal. We are going to hit the headlines tomorrow¡­" "Why? Are you so afraid of ending your bachelor image?" Yera childishly muttered but of course she was just teasing her husband. "Of course not. If you only give me the signal to say it inside I will without even blinking." Xander stated before he drove the car out of the parking lot. "Darling, did you know how I wanted to wrap you up the moment I see you at the party?" Xander mumbled. Yera ignored him and Xander ended up scratching his head. Xander pulled the car at the side of the road. Yera turned to him and asked, "What''s wrong? Why did you stop?" Xander looked at her and sighed deeply before he pulled her for a warm embrace. "Please don''t get mad darling. You know that in my eyes, you''re the only one. The most beautiful and s.e.xy woman in my eyes¡­ I love you so much that it bugs me so much whenever you act indifferent towards this poor man like this¡­'''' Xander murmured in Yera''s ear while he caressed her hair. Yera on the other hand was squealing inside but tried hard to suppress it. Instead she murmured, "If ever I see you getting too close to any other woman, having that skin to skin contact with anyone again, you will be banned from my room for a month!" Xander''s jaw dropped while he gently released Yera from his embrace to closely look at her. "Darling, I promise!" Xander answered without blinking an eye, promising to himself that if any woman comes close to him, even an inch close, he would surely run away. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was already in the dining area with Rizie for breakfast and was waiting for his sis and bro-in-law to come down to congratulate them for being the most trending search topic in the social media and for making the headlines in all the major newspapers. The event last night garnered various speculations from netizens. Most of them commented about how the two looked so good together saying opposites did attract. Most comments were positive but of course negative comments were also there like they both had their own interest in attaching with each other and that they might be using each other for climbing higher. "Wasn''t it agreed that they will announce their romantic relationship after the verdict of the trial of the Gos? Last night was like a bomb! They both surprised everyone with that awkward moment of proximity between each other." Rizie commented while she prepared Dion''s coffee. She read some of the comments in her mobile phone a while ago and some were really funny. Dion was grinning, looking amused while he read the article written in the newspaper.. "Why? What does it say there? Why are you grinning like that?" Rizie asked with knitted brows. "Oh it says here, mortal enemy to mortal lover. Bro-in-law really nailed it without shame¡­ But I must say, this is better so that people will get the idea about their relationship and won''t be that shocked once they announce their wedding ceremony" Dion commented with a grin. "Shhh¡­" Rizie beckoned when she heard footsteps. Yera walked in the dining area with a serious look on her face. She felt her head would explode because Shan had called her early in the morning since the board of directors suddenly asked for an urgent meeting. Though she saw it coming but still she wanted to skip those whinings from the elders if she could but unfortunately she must compulsorily be present in that meeting. "Sis, goodmorning¡­" Rizie greeted with a warm smile and same she did to Xander who was just behind Yera. Dion pursed his lips. His girlfriend was acting too prim and proper whenever his sister was around and he was not used to it. Rizie on the other hand was suppressing herself not to forcibly joke around Yera as much as she could or give her blunt comments as she was used to. She was afraid that she might get kicked out with one wrong move or more like she did not want to displease Dion''s family. Xander greeted the two with his brightest smile and pulled out a chair for his wife. "So are we on the headline? It''s not my fault but your sister''s you know. She declared her possessiveness for me without her knowing¡­ And even pulled me out of the party too early..." Xander proudly stated, disregarding his wife''s dagger eyes at him. Dion and Rizie exchanged meaningful glances and looked at Yera who remained expressionless but trying to silence her husband with her deadly eyes. The sight was too amusing and it took efforts for them not to laugh loudly. Rizie could not help but cleared her throat and mumbled, "I read in some comments that the womanizer CEO just met his match." "Like a match made in heaven? That''s probably what they mean. Right darling?" Xander jested followed by a wink to his wife. Rizie laughed and said, "I wonder how they will react when they find out that you two are already married." "I bet you''re too happy that my sis acted towards you¡­ Are you? So how does it feel for the first time since all along it was you who had been super clingy and possessive?" Rizie naturally added but immediately bit her lip upon realizing she threw a wrong tease seeing how Yera''s face reddened. ''I''m dead!'' Rizie mused with a twisted face. "Well of course¡­ I feel so loved and cherished. Who would have thought that my darling has the capability to surprise me like that and I''m really touched and pleased." Xander responded with a teasing tone to his lovely wife who looked so cute in his eyes at that moment with those blushing cheeks. How he wished he could bite her cute cheeks right then. Yera cleared her throat and managed a straight face as she looked at Dion and asked, "The board wanted to meet you as soon as possible. When do you think your body can manage going out?" Obviously she was trying to change the topic because she herself was too embarrassed to talk about how she ran into the party last night, it was just so out of her character. Dion sneakily looked at Rizie before he murmured. "I think I can manage next week. I''m a lot better." "Oh by the way, when will your mom arrive? I will have one of the rooms ready for her, tell me her preferences and style or maybe it would be best if you handle the preparations of her room." Yera reminded me. Rizie''s eyes widened hearing those words from Yera''s mouth, she was not aware about Dion''s mother''s arrival. "Your mom is coming?" she repeated, she suddenly got nervous and worried. "Yeah, mom said she is busy wrapping up the business and will inform me the earliest she can book a flight," Dion answered with a smile. He was actually excited to introduce Rizie to his mother because he already told his mother a lot about Rizie and his mother was too keen to meet the woman who had caught the attention of his aloof eyes. Rizie gulped¡­ She suddenly felt scared¡­''Should she leave before Dion''s mother arrives?'' that''s the first thing she thought because it would not be good that Dion''s mother would see her living under the same roof. But that was not the thing she was scared of. She felt that things were happening too fast and that she had never thought or had the idea yet of meeting each other''s parents. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

As soon as he was inside the car, assistant Ron started with his morning reporting as usual. "Sir, we are receiving a lot of calls in the office. Many are asking secretary Ness about your relationship with Dr. Yao. There''s also a poll going around where they are voting for who best suits you, Dr. Yao or Madame. It''s been circulating online. There are also photos of Dr. Yao on top of you with memes and also Madame sticking herself onto your arm with memes. Should I shut it all down?" Xander wanted to strangle assistant Ron instantly for reporting the situation at such a wrong moment. He looked at his wife who was sitting beside him. His darling was expressionless and to be honest, this was more alarming. He would rather see her getting angry or annoyed but not as calm as this. It was making him nervous. Assistant Ron turned his head toward Xander when he heard no response and gulped seeing his Boss run his pointed finger on his neck gesturing to him that ''he''s so dead''. Assistant Ron cursed himself quietly and took a sneak glance at his madame at the back seat. She did not seem to be upset. He was used to reporting the situation everytime his Boss came inside the car so he thought it was okay to do so with madame Yera there as well, since his Boss once said that he would not keep any secret from his wife. "Let it be Ron. Let''s see who wins the poll for your womanizer Boss," Yera scorned after a few minutes of silence. "Make sure to send me the copies of all of those memes Ron. I want to keep every single photo and have them printed as well." "Printed?" Xander burst out at that moment. Yera shrugged her shoulders and casually hammered, "Remembrance? To remind me of that skin to skin contact and your punishment!" Xander suddenly grabbed Yera''s hands and lovingly kissed them as he reassured, "Stop saying that darling! This is the only skin I would want to touch my entire life." The driver unconsciously choked with a cough while assistant Ron elbowed him to control it. Meanwhile, Shan was getting slammed with the amount of calls their office was receiving. She felt her head was already spinning around with the same questions being asked over and over again. She was like a robot repeating the same thing all over again. Even the board of directors were pestering her asking, if she knew a thing about what was going on with the Chairwoman and CEO of Yang Hospital. "No, I really don''t know Sir. And even if I knew, I''m not allowed to disclose any personal affairs of our Chairwoman." Shan explained to the person on the other line. After the call ended, Shan immediately instructed the trunkline operator not to transfer any calls that wanted to connect to the Chairwoman''s office especially if it was not related to work and if was to ask about personal matters regarding the Chairwoman. If only she could, she would hang all the telephones in the office so no calls could get through. She called the Chairwoman to relay the matter and the Chairwoman finally had given the signal for her to cut their direct lines for the meantime. She emitted a long sigh of relief when her area was once again finally silent. "Finally!" She helplessly mumbled. Like the others, she too was curious to find out what was going on. She immediately stood up from her chair and waited at the elevator to greet the Chairwoman together with the other staff in their office. As soon as the chairwoman went out and walked inside the reception area she instructed, "Shan come with me to the office. The rest of you can go back to work." Shan followed Yera inside her office. Yera sat on the couch and signaled Shan to sit in front of her. "Shan, besides being my personal assistant, you know you are one of those very few persons whom I trust, so I believe you must know the truth about the whole thing... Xander is my husband but we have to keep it as a secret until the verdict on the Go''s trial is out. Please help me to keep that secret until then. Do not deny anything but don''t confirm anything too - if you get what I''m saying." Yera directly said. Then she added, "I have to convince the board of directors for the merging between Yang Globals and Life Hospitals group. Please work closely with Xander''s assistant, Ron. He will contact you soon. Collaborate well with him and come to me if you have any questions¡­ That''s all for now, you can go now Shan." Shan nodded and immediately left the room dumbfounded. ''They are married???'' Shan wanted to voice out but controlled herself. Then she would shake her head once in a while¡­ She was dying to know how it happened because the last thing she could remember before Yera disappeared, was how she cursed CEO Xander Yang to the core not to mention the infinite number of times the Chairwoman had killed that man in her head, no not just in head because she could still clearly remember how many times the chairwoman said the words ''I will kill that bastard!'' previously. ''What the hell just happened? And now they are husband and wife? Is that a joke?'' Shan inwardly asked herself in a row. Her trail of thoughts were interrupted by her mobile phone''s ring. It was just a number but Shan answered seeing the familiar digits of assistant Ron with the business card she had. "Hello," Shan answered. "Meet me at 5:00 pm sharp¡­" she heard the man say like a robot followed by the meeting place before he said in the finale, "It''s assistant Ron from the office of the CEO and Vice Chairman of Yang Globals group." "What the heck is that?" Shan mused. This would be the first time she would see and talk to him after so many years and Shan wondered if he would be able to recognize or remember her somehow. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"You have to tell us what is it between you and Xander Yang. You clearly know that Yang Globals group has been our competitor from the start. How can you have a scandal with him?..." one of the board members commented. Yera arched her eyebrows and said, "What''s with all this reaction from you all? I don''t see how this incident will affect our group? Don''t tell me that all of you have enough time to care about my personal affairs this time? Should I be glad because you all are particularly taking interest in my love life? To be honest, I find it absurd to call a meeting where we don''t discuss anything that''s related to plans or projects to expand the Life Hospitals group?" Yera stood up from her chair and smiled. "I do appreciate your concern about it though but let me handle my lovelife myself. You all are aware that I need all of you and your cooperation and support. Let''s focus on how we can improve and expand our group rather than discuss this kind of nonsense¡­ If there is nothing important to address then I shall take my leave first." No one spoke a word after Yera did so she bade her farewell and left. She was already working with winning the votes of half of the board members. While she needed to work more strategically for winning the other half. As soon as Yera left, the half who were loyal to the Han Family also left and the remaining half went out to secretly have a meeting at a private dining place. "What happened? Aren''t you two getting along? You do know that a merger might possibly happen if Yera and that Xander ended up together! And we will end up being under the Yang Globals group if anything of that sort happens!" Mr. Lua exclaimed. He was too disappointed that Lyndon did not even bother to say a word during the meeting as the Vice Chairman. "Did we put you in that position just in vain?" one of the board members hissed. It was Lyndon who had promised them a lot of unsaid benefits, once he was put in the position of the Chairman but looking at Lyndon''s silence today was making them all uneasy. "I suggest we use this opportunity to vote for the new Chairperson! Yera Han was gone for too long whereas we all were toiling here to keep the Life Globals group rise high and mighty. She was absent for years from here! Not in service for years! How dare she suddenly show up and claim the position of chairperson that easily and to top it all, be arrogant enough to do whatever she likes! If we all combine our shares it would be more than enough to kick her out of her position and crush her arrogance and pride!" Mr. Lua encouraged. Lyndon sighed and looked at everyone whose eyes were fixed on him. They were waiting for his decision. Yes he started this war but it was against the Go''s and partially against Yera''s grandfather. However, it was Yera now who he would be fighting with, and this was the last thing that he wanted to do. "Don''t forget that we have all the evidence against you¡­ We are all in this together! I can see the hesitation in these eyes of yours. Is it because of Yera? Are you forgetting how Yera''s family treated you and your family? How you and your family had begged for mercy to Old Master Han? Yes, the old man is dead now but it''s still the Hans'' that hold the power over the hospital today, while you and your father put in so much efforts into taking it where it is now." Mr. Lua tried to convince him. If Lyndon kept hesitating like that then he would not have another choice but to step over him and win this chance! Mr. Lua looked at Mr. Kang and gave him the signal. Mr. Kang coughed and cleared his throat before suggesting, "I see Lyndon is hesitating. How about we do this¡­ Let''s have Mr. Lua to be voted in for that position because Lyndon is indecisive at this time seeing he''s still caught up in his relationship with Yera. Don''t you agree with me?" All board members inside the meeting room nodded. Mr. Lua was a better choice compared to Lyndon at that moment because the man was getting emotional and this affected the plans they already made. Lyndon was still quiet. He was in a conflicted situation. Mr. Lua with the rest could easily put him down in a snap and that was the consequences of his actions in the past that he did for gaining a higher position in Life Globals. He did not debate them nor did he say a thing to them and everyone knew that his silence meant he was not against the idea. "You do remember that you have to keep your loyalty to us Lyndon or else you would lose everything¡­" Mr. Lua specified then followed by the clicking of his tongue. "Tsk.. tsk¡­ you boy need to sort things out. Wasting everything you worked hard for just for a woman who seems like she no longer wants you back, is it really worth it?" Lyndon heard the mocking statement. His eyes narrowed at Mr. Lua who had been on his watch list for a long time. He knew one day the old man would viciously attack him anytime, but he did not expect it this soon. All his plans crumbled with Yera''s announcement of her identity. He could not add now more suffering to Yera by taking away from her what was rightfully hers. She came back to claim her right so he should not be a hindrance to Yera and worst add more sins to his already heavy baggage¡­ "Don''t worry. I will keep my word and vote for you. After that, consider me gone from this group¡­" Lyndon muttered before he stood up from his chair and left. His heart was too heavy. Maybe Jam was right. He should just leave for some far away place and start a new life altogether. But was he capable of doing so? Could he really do that after everything that had happened? Lyndon''s heart and mind were both in dilemma. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She almost forgot how assistant Ron was like a ticking clock. Shan smiled as she checked her make-up once inside the car. It took her nine years to finally be able to see him once again. She was really nervous. To be honest, she tried many times to approach him whenever she could but she would get jittery and always ended up running away everytime she would get near Ron. Hopefully today she could finally overcome that jittery feeling and by then she could finally return him what she owed... Shan drifted into the memory of her time before she joined Life Hospitals group while she was on her way in the ride provided by the Chairwoman duly assigned with a driver.... Nine years ago, Shan''s life was very hard, at that time she worked like a cow as a temporary employee in various establishments while fighting hard to graduate in her Business of Administration course. But then one day, Shan received a very big opportunity when she was selected for an interview at Life Globals group as a trainee. She could remember that day when she was well prepared for the interview. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. She was walking at the side of the road to get to the bus station when she saw an old man suddenly collapse behind her . She immediately picked the old man, carried him in a cab to the nearest hospital and waited for any of his relatives to come and stayed with him till then. It was still early at that time and so she thought she could still run for the interview but then the relative came too late. It was still very vivid in Shan''s memory where she rushed out running from the hospital as she looked at her wrist watch. Only a few minutes were left before her interview but she tripped in haste, causing her to bruise herself and still worst was that the heel of her shoes broke. Shan cursed as she looked around and saw a bench. She walked there almost hopping while she held the other shoe in her hand. She sat and tried to fix it while she looked at the time on her wrist watch. Tears unconsciously started to fall from her eyes while she tried to fix her shoe. There were no shops around too to buy new shoes, not to mention if the pocket money she had that time would be enough to buy any had she found a shop. While she sat there counting her series of bad luck encountered that day, a man suddenly bent down on his knees near her and pulled the other shoe on her feet away, while giving her his sneakers. "Wear these for now. I''m working in this hospital and I have a pair of spare shoes in my locker that''s just a few steps away from here. Stop crying now, because it''s not the end of the world when a few mishaps happen." Shan wiped her tears and stared at the man who was probably just two or three years older than her based on his physique. ''He is wearing long sleeves and slacks so how come he''s in sneakers?'' she mused. Shan saw the man stood up and with a serious look on his face he said, "Get in the cab that I just used. You look like you''re getting late to where you''re going¡­" Shan immediately stood up recalling that she was almost late! And immediately ran inside the cab. She hurriedly told the cab driver the address where she was going. "Please hurry!" she added. When the cab moved, Shan''s eyes rounded because she forgot to say the words ''thank you'' to the man. She hit her head also because she even forgot her shoes in his hands. Shan laughed alone as she reminisced her stupidity at that time. To cut the story short, she discovered later that the man who helped her was Xander Yang''s executive assistant because she happened to see him with Xander Yang of Yang Globals group in every article and news later on. No wonder because the hospital where she brought the old man was the Yang Globals hospital where Ron was already working as Xander''s assistant. Unfortunately, she did not actually make it for the interview but¡­ She was still accepted at Life Hospitals group as trainee because she was lucky enough that the old man she had saved, putting her career in line, happened to be the Old Master Han of Life Globals group. Since then, the Old Master Han appointed her as Yera''s assistant in every aspect because Old Master Han believed and trusted her blindly. Shan finally came out of her reverie when she arrived at her destination. She contemplated whether to give assistant Ron his shoes or not back yet, that she brought with her in a paper bag. In the end, Shan left it in the car itself because she thought there would be many more opportunities to return him his shoes. Meanwhile, maybe it would be better that the two of them get along well first. When she was already inside the private room, her eyes rounded seeing the papers scattered on the table. Assistant Ron sat on the floor with crossed legs. He looked at his wrist watch before he said, "Remove your shoes and join me here. You''re two minutes late. Next time, don''t waste two minutes of our time because we have a crucial job at this moment. We have to accomplish this before the verdict on the trial is out." Shan twitched her mouth and slightly bowed in front of him and said, "Hello, it''s nice meeting you¡­ I''m Sha---" She stopped when Ron signaled her to sit. "Leave it¡­ We already know each other..Remember, we''re the assistants of the infamous rival couple¡­ Anyway, I think sitting like this will be uncomfortable to you. Wait I''ll ask the waitress to give you a blanket. Next time we''re going to meet, change into a lack because this place will be a regular meeting place for us." Shan heard him speak without even looking at her as his eyes were still focussed on the doc.u.ments he was reading. "What a workaholic man!'' Shan silently exclaimed. But on second thought, she felt happy with that strong aura emitted from assistant Ron because surprisingly the jittery feeling that she always had whenever she saw him, was suddenly gone... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

I missed you brother!" exclaimed Rui as soon as he entered Xander''s office. He hugged Xander tightly and even patted his buttocks. "Stop that you pervert! Why did you show up only now?" Xander grunted as he abruptly pushed Rui from him. "Eww! Don''t ever do that again!" Xander complained while he wriggled as if it gave him some kind of skin disease. Rui burst out in laughter and said, "What''s with you? Don''t tell me Yera also hates it whenever you have that skin to skin with a man?" Xander rolled his eyes. Rui was always quick in guessing and the psychologist often teased him right before he even told him the whole story. "I saw the two of you at the party so I guess I''m right. You''re banned from any skin to skin contact. I did not have much time to approach the two of you because I''m too busy catching and containing a little mouse on the loose!" Rui explained while he comfortably walked to get himself a cup of tea from Xander''s receiving table. "Mouse? Since when did you become a cat?" Xander arched his brow as he asked. He sat in front of Rui and crossed his legs. His dear friend had a lot to report to him. "Since that Candice Yao arrived here! I tell you that woman is dangerous!" Rui exclaimed. Xander smirked because that tone from Rui was broken and he knew his friend too well. Xander nodded before he teased, "Yeah, very dangerous indeed. It looks like you will become a prey of that dangerous woman soon." Rui''s eyes rounded as he continued, "She deliberately did it. That pose to be on top of you. She had this hidden agenda that I can''t get a hold of yet but I''m sure you''re the target. Are you sure you got her profile thoroughly checked by your men? I think we''re missing something here. Can we ask Keira''s husband? I think the military sources are more reliable when it comes to profile checking." Xander released a sigh and said, "No! We have to respect the military database. On what grounds tell me? On what grounds can we ask that special request? For murder? For any crime? You do know Zach won''t release any private information on baseless grounds. He''s strict when it comes to that even though it''s family¡­" Rui''s shoulders dropped. Xander was right. They held nothing against Candice except for the fact that the latter seemed to have some hidden agenda like getting close to Xander. Still¡­ "Just watch her closely Rui if your hunch is telling that she''s up to something, but I really don''t feel that she''s that harmful in any way." That instant, the two men heard knocking on the door. "Come in," Xander mumbled. They exchanged meaningful glances when Dr. Candice Yao entered with her again impeccable smile. "Secretary Ness is not in her area so I came straight here. I hope you don''t mind," Dr. Yao said. "Yes, we do mind," Rui scoffed in dry tone and Xander vaguely signaled him to behave. Rui twitched his mouth and shrugged his shoulders as he proceeded to drink his tea. Dr. Yao ignored Rui and walked straight to Xander with some paper bags. "Dr. CEO, I have brought a lot of presents for you from Country V and I hope you''ll like these." "Oh, that''s so nice of you Dr Yao, but you don''t have to do this. I can''t accept it¡­" Xander murmured while he moved a bit to his left because Dr. Yao sat beside him. "What are you saying. These are all for you. I especially took the effort to choose all these and I think it will all look good on you here try this." Dr. Yao moved closer as she picked out one of the coats from the paper bags and was about to put it on Xander who quickly stood up from the couch. Dr. Yao creased her forehead and was about to stand up too when Xander snorted, "Stop right there. Just leave it all in the paper bags. Don''t come near me¡­" Rui on the other hand was enjoying the show thoroughly and sneakily took a video of what was happening. "What''s wrong Dr. CEO?" Dr. Yao asked with a confused look. "My wif.." Xander almost spilled it and recalled that he should not disclose it yet so he continued, "My weird skin allergy. I have an allergy right now and it''s very itchy. Just leave that in the paper bag and thank you for your thoughtfulness. Please distance yourself from me and stay at least a meter away." Dr. Yao''s eyebrows arched. "Why? Is it because of the party? I see we''re trending on social media and are on top searches. Hmm, will this affect our friendship? Do you want me to answer and clear everything to those reporters? But if I do I will be honest with them, and tell them that I like you." Rui''s tea deliberately splashed out from his mouth, hearing those blunt words from Dr. Yao. Xander was dumbfounded too. "Stop that Candice¡­" Rui exclaimed as he stood up suddenly and grabbed Dr. Yao''s arm with force. "What? I really like Dr. CEO. Is there something wrong with that?" Dr. Yao naively muttered. "Yes there is! He''s already taken so stop dreaming!" Rui snapped. Dr. Yao only gave him a grimace before she spluttered, "He''s still not married. Oh, and even if he is¡­ I can always steal him away." Rui gritted his teeth, this little sly mouse was really testing his patience. With still raised brow, Dr. Yao abruptly removed Rui''s hand from her arm. Then she turned toward Xander and winked, "I''ll go for now Dr. CEO since there''s a meddler in here right now. I''ll see you later then. Bye!" Dr. Yao gave Rui a dirty look before she walked out of the door. Meanwhile, Rui turned his head to Xander and declared, "Don''t worry. I''ll handle her¡­" Xander with a twisted and crumpled face murmured, "You better do!" After the verdict on that trial he would handle everything properly, but for now, he must keep his marriage hidden upon Yera''s strong request. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She was supposed to start training that day for learning various activities and martial arts on self defense to be able to protect herself anytime if need be, but she cancelled it so she would be in good condition once her father-in-law arrived. Dion watched her in the kitchen being a nosy body, tasting all the dishes and instructing the kitchen staff for every minor detail. "I guess father-in-law is really such a good man that you''re too excited about his visit and want everything to be perfect." he teased with a smile. Yera ignored him at first but then paused and turned to look at him and said, "Rizie will dump you in a month. Instead of watching me in here and ''trying'' to tease me, you better go, woo her more and make her fall in love with you deeper." Dion pursed his lips and scratched his head. He was about to leave when his sister added, "By the way, you should be fine by now so how come Rizie is still taking care of you especially feeding you meals in front of us. I don''t know how long I can take in watching you two showing off like that." "It''s a strategy sis. The more she invests effort in me, the harder it is going to be for her to leave me. And don''t worry about me¡­ Watch me, I''ll show you I''m even better than brother-in-law." Dion boasted and immediately escaped his sister before he got more scolding. Yera raised a brow and murmured, "That kid - he still has a long way to go before he can compare to my husband¡­ My husband is the best from every angle..." "I heard that!" Yera was too startled when Xander suddenly hugged her from behind. "Stop that¡­" Yera whispered because they were not the only persons in the kitchen so Xander quickly pulled her into their bedroom. "Hey what are you doing?" Yera whispered with a raspy voice because her husband was showering her neck with kisses as soon as her back was pinned on the door. "I''m rewarding you for appreciating how remarkable your husband is." Xander answered in his hoarse voice. He just got home and saw Dion rushing out from the kitchen and he told Xander that his sister was there inside, so he immediately went straight there and heard Yera giving him compliments. He couldn''t help but hug her there however, they were not the only ones around so he had to control his other urges and bring her in their room. He was sucking and licking her neck. She was already in her casual, day wear, dress and it was too easy for him to unzip it and had it fall down on the ground leaving his wife only with her underwear and bra. Xander devoured her lips, sucking her lower and upper lips simultaneously. He was kissing her deeper as if he could not get enough of her supple lips. Those lips trailed their way on her neck once more then to her collarbone down to her bosoms. She felt Xander unhook her bra and removed it. Yera unconsciously m.o.a.ned and bit her lips when her b.r.e.a.s.t felt Xander''s warm hand on one while his lips and tongue played on the other b.r.e.a.s.t, nibbling the aroused peaks in them alternately. Yera''s body arched as her head slightly tilted up. She was grateful that she was leaning on the door because her knees were starting to get weak with all the sensation she was feeling. ''Are we doing it here? Standing?'' she silently thought because they had never done it like that before. She gasped when Xander bent on his knees and kissed her belly down her belly button. He was not kissing only but licking her skin that heightened the sensation she was feeling. Then she felt Xander pull her panty down. "What are you.." she murmured but Xander interrupted her and said, "Relax darling. I told you I''m rewarding you¡­" Before Yera could utter a word, her husband had one of her legs on his shoulder as he began rewarding her. Yera cried when she felt his tongue in between her legs, on her most sensitive parts, teasing and making her quiver with his flicking and sucking. She felt so good and she was lost in the feelings that she ended up grabbing her husband''s hair. He was lapping and giving her unbearable pleasure, she was so engrossed in his actions that she ended up calling his name several times saying how much she loved him without her knowing. Xander on the other hand was dripping hard with excitement and arousal to his own self while he pleasured his wife uncontrollably. Hearing her cries and m.o.a.ns could almost bring him to climax in that instant. After a few more minutes, Yera reached her wonderful orgasm. Xander on the other hand felt so achieved thinking that his wife finally forgave him. To be honest, since that night at the party he was unable to make love to his wife. He was banned from making love until his darling was in her mood to do so. He stood up and was about to carry her to their bed when his wife quickly picked her clothes, put them back on and said, "I have to go and make sure everything is settled before father arrives." Xander was about to carry her but his darling was too fast and quickly ran out of their room. Xander helplessly looked down at his little buddy who was fully ready for action. "I''m sorry buddy but you have to settle with my hand once more. Let''s try again later, maybe our darling will finally let us in¡­" he mumbled before he walked in their bathroom with dropped shoulders. Xander was hopeful that his father would mention the wish for a grandchild again and following it up with his wife later will be easier then¡­ Xander crumpled his face and whined, "Maybe I should just kick Dr. Yao out of the hospital right away. It''s all her fault that I''m being tortured like this!" But then he sighed because that was not a right thing to do. As long as Dr. Yao was not doing anything below the belt he could still give her a chance besides Rui promised that he would take care of Dr. Yao so he should not worry. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie asked Dion as she helped him remove the dressing of his wound on his chest. "Yes, it is the first time. I have heard a lot of good things about him so I would love to meet him¡­ Even my sister seems to like him a lot, so he must be really special then¡­" Dion commented. Rizie unconsciously touched his chest that was near the wound while she whispered, "It''s healed I think¡­" Dion stopped breathing because of Rizie''s warm fingers on his chest. "Yeah, I think so but it''s still a bit painful at tim-es¡­" Dion murmured, stammering a bit since he was lying plus Rizie''s closeness was distracting him. Rizie grabbed Dion''s short sleeve button down clothe and helped him wear it. She bent down, almost hugging him without her knowing. Dion cursed because he should be the one that was supposed to seduce Rizie but why did he feel like he was the one getting seduced everytime she was near him. He should make Rizie fall for him hard but he could feel himself falling deep instead for the woman in front of him. He could no longer help the urge to pull Rizie on his lap and have his way with her. He pulled her down, held her nape and confidently claimed her lips. She tasted sweet and luscious and he probed deeper in her mouth with his tongue. He m.o.a.ned when he felt Rizie''s tongue dance with his rhythm. Rizie reacted with the same intensity and passion with her hands cupping his face. Dion''s other hand started to move on its own, looking for something warm and so it courageously crawled inside Rizie''s blouse, feeling her bare belly and going further up. Rizie''s heart was beating erratically anticipating Dion''s touch on her b.r.e.a.s.ts. She was caught in the passion and she couldn''t care less about her other thoughts right then, but then there was a sudden knocking at the door that interrupted the intimate moment between the two. Rizie immediately stood up from Dion''s lap while Dion exclaimed timidly, "Yes?!" "Sir, Madame Yera said that the guests are about to arrive so please go down." they heard one of their helpers informed. Rizie immediately ran at the door and opened it. "I was just helping him with the dressing of his wounds. We have just finished, we will now go down." she defended, afraid that the helper would tell Yera that she was inside Dion''s room. The helper nodded but her mouth curved in a teasing smile as she turned around. Both of them instantly went down, a tinge of blush showing off their intimate encounter to any prying eyes . After a few minutes of waiting with everyone, Senior Yang finally arrived and they all welcomed and greeted him at the entrance of the mansion. "Oh these children! Why are you all out in this cold? Come and let''go inside!" Senior Yang scolded seeing Yera and the others were all standing outside to welcome him. They did and once inside, Yera immediately introduced her brother Dion to senior Yang and Rizie as his fiance. ''Fiance? Isn''t it when we''re engaged? Getting married soon?'' Rizie mused in alarm. She did not know why but she was getting nervous at the thought of marriage. "Hmm, what a good looking man. I can see your similarities with your sister," Senior Yang commented before he gave Dion a warm hug. Then he turned to Rizie and smiled, "And of course such a fine and attractive lady. I heard about your brother the general in the military so our Dion in here must behave right?" Rizie laughed as Senior Yang gave her a wink. He was a carbon copy of Xander Yang in personality and now she knew where Xander got his bubbliness from. Yera comfortably wrapped her arms in Senior Yangs and guided him into the dinning room. Xander on the other hand scratched his head because his father did not even seem to notice he existed. Of course he was aware why, simply because his father was still disappointed that until now there was no good news with regards to his request for a grandchild. The dining area was filled with laughter, Yera could not help but feel how blessed she was. Since when was the last time she experienced such a good family dinner like this in their own home that was filled with joy while chatting together? The last one she could remember was when her parents were still alive. Xander noticed the sudden silence of Yera while she lovingly listened to Senior Yang talking to Dion. He grabbed Yera''s hand and gently squeezed it. Yera gave her husband a sweet and loving smile. She finally had a family after everything that had happened in her life. She was not broken after all the attacks hurled at her but was restored because of the people around her. And because she did not give up on her life and chose to face everything despite how hard it could be and how difficult it could get. She kept on fighting¡­ "So Dion, I guess you''ll get married soon. I just hope Xander can finally give me a grandchild before it happens¡­" Senior Yang intentionally mentioned. Xander could not help but praise his father for not letting him down as always. Xander looked at Yera with his teasing smile while he muttered, "My wife is not cooperative dad." Yera''s eyes rounded and she would definitely pinch her husband if not for her father-in-law who was looking at them. Senior Yang pouted his lips and narrowed his eyes as he shifted his eyes from Xander to Yera. "That''s not true father. He did something that deserves a lesson¡­" Yera whispered with pursed lips. Senior Yang raised an eyebrow at Xander and scolded, "You brat! Why can''t you behave well! You know what can make this old man happy and yet you''re still not working hard for it. You should always please your wife and don''t stress her out¡­" Rizie and Dion exchanged meaningful glances as Senior yang continued to shower his son with blessings. Yera on the other hand did not know whether to pity her husband or be happy¡­ Maybe later she would just lift his ban since he already had been scolded enough... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Fu*ck that bit*ch freaking bit*ch! Traitor!" the man grunted as he kept on running. His body was already full of sweat because of running for so long. He cursed when he could not find a good spot to stop and hide. He was being chased after being abandoned just like that. He thought he already hit the jackpot by living in hiding with a good provision but it did not last long. He was panting hard. It was very dark and there was almost no one in that deserted area. Though there were people living there but none dared to interfere with the commotion. He paused for a while, seeing two directions ahead of him, contemplating which direction would be best to escape, left or right! If he remembered correctly, there was a dead end in either of the two directions. "Fuuu*ckkkk it! Fuuu*ckkkk..." he snarled. "Stop right there. You have nowhere to go now, so you better listen to my advice and quietly come with us," he heard the familiar voice of a man. He was the one who had hired him, ''the Client'' who instructed him and his gang to abduct the woman named Yera Han years ago. He smirked at the Client and said, "Why should I? Who knows what you are going to do to me! Someone is trying to kill me ever since I accepted that job you asked!" "No! I told you that I won''t kill you! I will not harm you! I only want more information from you. My instructions were very clear¡­ So now tell me, what exactly happened that night?" the Client persuaded. He wanted to know what really happened. "That was not me who fired that shot! It was Niro! That idiot!" he shouted. His instructions were clear so he himself was unclear why Niro fired those shots unless of course he received special instructions and came into a separate agreement with someone else. An agreement to kill Yera Han without him knowing. He could not trust any one so he should escape. He was about to run once more but a few pairs of hands pinned him down. "Let me go! What do you want from me now! I told you I will keep my mouth shut! I already told you that it''s not me!" he screamed as he tried hard to fight the men pinning him down. He had managed to escape death several times and he vowed that this day would not be his last day. "I am not going to kill you¡­ Just tell me where is that man who shot her. You said you killed them all but we did not find the body of that man. Do you know if he talked to any other persons or some other clients?" his Client sternly asked. "I really don''t know¡­ I don''t have any idea if he had received any special instructions to kill her from someone but I clearly shot them all. Maybe he''s body was eaten already by the fishes. But if you''re really interested I can help you to trace him since I know every contact of that bastard, but you have to promise to keep me alive and free me from prison since that woman is alive and I heard she is also pursuing those responsible for her abduction. If I will go down and you will go down with me. Don''t you dare try to kill me also or else you will get exposed because I have left evidence of your involvement with a trusted person, and once he does not hear anything from me..." he bargained, trying to coax the Client who seemed to buy his bullshit and signaled his men to loosen their grip on him so he could stand. When the grip on him was loosened and he was already standing, he instantly ran for his life because he could not trust the person in front of him or else he would get betrayed once more. They were not armed so he assessed he could easily escape them. The Client cursed and exclaimed, "Follow him! Make sure you capture him alive!" He kept running and was about to turn right when he heard shouts saying, "Stop!!!" You''ll get hit! Stop!" He turned right at the intersection and it was too late because he was already hit by a bulk four by four vehicle car. "Retreat!" shouted the man as he witnessed how the man they were chasing was being dragged back and forth by the car. "Sir, we should leave. This place is no longer safe." one of the man of the Client reported. They had to flee the site because the police was about to arrive soon according to their dispatcher since some witnesses had reported the chasing that happened in the area. "Let''s leave¡­ Make sure you find out the details of that vehicle." the Client hissed. Someone was trying to kill the leader of the gang he hired to abduct Yera. Things were unexpectedly getting messier every passing day. If he couldn''t contain it, everything would fall and he would be dragged down soon. "Sir, I think it would be good for us that he died¡­ I mean he can no longer speak of the matter about the abduction¡­" one of the Client''s men commented. He sighed. Could it really be for the best that the leader was dead. "Make sure he is dead." he muttered. His another problem was who was behind it. He was sure whoever that person was, knew him well. He surely was the one behind the person who fired the gun to kill Yera.

"Rise and shine darling. It''s time for your training! Let''s condition your body first and run¡­" Xander excitedly mumbled at Yera''s ear, God knows how many times he repeated the words in different tones just to wake her up from her deep slumber. "Can we skip it today? I''m still sleepy¡­" Yera begged. Her body wanted to sleep more and was too lazy however, Xander pulled her up. "Come-on get dressed for the workout. You were the one who was so keen to do this before. Don''t you know how high is my professional fee as a trainer? You have to use me wisely¡­" Xander mumbled as he got Yera''s jogging clothes. Yera idly stood up and prepared because her husband would definitely not stop bugging her. The sun was still not up when she and Xander went out to run in the vicinity. This was the first time Yera did physical exercise in her whole life and to be honest she was not used to it. She stopped and sat on the grass because she was already panting hard, her shirt was full of sweat hugging her body tightly. "Here darling¡­" Xander handed her a bottle of water and Yera drank it all while Xander got her another shirt to change into. She smiled at the thoughtfulness of her husband who was bringing those things she would need in his backpack. "Such a thoughtful trainer ahhh¡­" Yera teased with a smile that quickly vanished and was replaced with a crumpled face when her husband pulled her once again for another round of running. He had a timer and he was checking her time taken for each lap. "Is this much running even good for beginners?" she asked in doubt because she felt like she was undergoing military training with him. After the exhausting run, they went inside one of the rooms Xander arranged where he made sure he was equipped with necessary exercising equipment for her. Yera gulped when Xander paused in front of a medium to heavy set of dumbbells. "Seriously?" she burst because she felt like those equipment were best suited for men. "Do you want me to become a muscled woman?" she asked in disbelief. Xander laughed and shook his head. "Of course not darling. I will give you the best training for a woman to increase your strength and core stability. Trust me on this," her husband said followed by a wink. Yera pursed her lips in disobedience. Yera was really not in the mood to do such heavy dumbbells so she said, "can we skip the dumbbells darling and try a lighter type of workout?" Xander ignored her and carried a pair of five pounds dumbbell to hand to her. Yera frowned but Xander only gave her a wink and said, "These are just basics darling. It''s a light workout." Yera''s eyebrows flinched then she conspired a plan in her mind and a seductive smile started curling on her lips. Xander gulped when he saw her seducing antics, because he could sense that his wife was up to something with those looks. And it was not too long before his wife seductively ran her fingers from his broad arms going up to his shoulders before she encircled her arms on his neck and leaned closer to him as she whispered into his ear, "darling, let''s just do some workout in our bedroom." Xander blinked several times because he was startled to hear those inviting words from his wife. Not to add that he was getting distracted too with her scent. Her sweat filled scent smelled s.e.xy and he wanted to bury his face and himself in her body. Xander released a long deep sigh and washed away those naughty thoughts from his head. He should not let his weak body be seduced. He needed to be strict so his wife would have a fit body and learn to defend herself. He was about to say something when he felt his lower lip being bit and pulled by Yera''s teeth. And it did not end there because she even pressed her bosoms onto his chest and he could feel her fingers playing on his nape and caressing his hair. His buddy was deliberately saluting between his thighs, getting anxious. ''Damn!'' he cursed as the electric wave ran in his body. He was totally aroused with some simple teasing by his darling. He released another sigh before gently removing his wife''s arms from his neck. However, Yera was persistent and abruptly pulled his shirt closer to her. Her hand was naughtily moving and Xander''s body was almost on the verge of losing its senses. He immediately backed off so his wife''s hand could not touch his private part. "Stop it darling. Even though it gives me blue balls¡­ the training will continue. Here," Xander firmly declared before turning around to get the dumbbells and put them into Yera''s hands. Yera''s face couldn''t be painted with that deliberate rejection. ''How come it did not work? Is he really my husband?'' she irritably mused, startled with her husband''s self control. Xander positioned her body and then he whispered, "Darling, don''t worry we will continue later with the other exercise you''re suggesting. Most probably after you take a rest from our training today." He was grinning hard while Yera looked sulky while she did the workout with Xander''s instruction. ''Other exercise later? Maybe I will ignore you later like how you ignored me now?'' Yera thought silently while she twisted her lips, seeing how amused her husband was at her irritation. "Darling, how come you look so enticing when you''re annoyed like that," Xander could not help but comment. "Don''t talk to me. I''m too focused on these freaking dumbbells¡­" Yera chided. Xander continuously grinned and teased, " we will soon change into a ten pounds pair darling. You''re doing great¡­" Yera narrowed her eyes and threw her deadly stare at Xander that made him zip his mouth that instant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dion and Rizie could sense the gloominess in the air while eating, so they chose to eat silently. Dion looked at Xander and asked him with his eyes what happened but the latter only shrugged his shoulders and gave him a meaningful grin. After a few long moments of silence, Rizie could not take the serious ambiance any more and so she casually asked Xander, "how was the workout brother in law? Sis looks so exhausted. Are you sure you''re doing it right? We can get a professional trainer you know." Xander''s eyebrow lifted up as he remarked, "Excuse me¡­ I''m a very professional trainer. What do you think of me? Darling is like that beca¡­" Xander paused when Yera glared at him. "I mean -- It''s because it''s her first time so her bod-y is a bit stiff and it''s still adjusting with the sudden workouts¡­" Xander continued in a little stuttering voice. Rizie could not help but silently laugh seeing the funny look on Xander''s face. She had never met a man as henpecked a husband as Xander Yang. After that glare from his wife, Xander did not dare to utter a single word and even gave Dion and Rizie a vague signal to remain quiet and just focus on their meal. Yera was the first to leave the dining area and then Rizie got the opportunity to ask Xander what happened. "Nothing happened, you nosy body. Let me follow my darling. I know she''s tired so let me go and help her relax," Xander said in humor with a wink. Dion only shook his head. He doubted that such a mischievous grin from his brother in law would help his sister relax¡­ Yera on the other hand went directly into the bathroom for a relaxing bath in the tub before sleeping. She already had her plans to torture her husband for neglecting her this morning, how much she had tried and yet it didnt work, now shall be the time for revenge. "You will dig your own grave tonight darling¡­" she mumbled. Obviously she was ready for war and would not let this night pass without torturing her husband with all her might. She did not stay long in the water and got up for a quick shower. She smirked hearing Xander''s footsteps nearing the bathroom door. "Darling¡­" she heard her husband call in his loving and sweet tone. She did not respond to his calling because she was sure that her husband would barge inside to coax her besides she had intentionally left the door unlocked. Soon enough she felt Xander''s presence inside the shower room. She turned around and asked, "Why are you here?" Xander gave her a sweet smile before saying, "Joining you for shower." Yera arched an eyebrow and replied, "But I''m done showering." Xander pouted his lips as he playfully caressed Yera''s cheeks while he whispered, "I''m really sorry darling for neglecting you during the workout. You know that this husband of yours loves you more than anything and is strict only when giving you workout and self defense training. I should do things in a professional manner to make you perfect in everything¡­" Yera smiled and touched Xander''s face before she leaned in to give him a deep kiss. Her husband encircled his strong arms on her waist and she could feel his hardness poking her since he was already hard. She trailed her hands onto his bare chest down his belly then teasingly played her fingers on the tip of his member that made Xander growl in pleasure. She held it in her hand, gently tugging and rubbing that made Xander m.o.a.n, a m.o.a.n that was obviously asking for more. However, Yera was determined to ignore him like he did this morning so she gently released herself from the kiss and whispered in her husband''s ear, "I will stop now darling, I am really tired and I want to rest now after such an exhausting workout you made me do today¡­" "Even though it gives me blue balls¡­" Yera ended, copying Xander''s words from this morning before she suddenly grabbed a towel and left her husband totally flabbergasted with what she just did. "For real? My darling really abandoned me like this?" Xander, with his mouth agape, mumbled in disbelief. He washed his face with his palm. It looked like they would have a tug of war this evening because he was determined to make his wife plead with him to take her, no matter what. Xander took a quick shower before he hurriedly went out of the bathroom ready for the battle. His wife was already on the bed and he joined her soon. She was still pissed off and Xander understood it perfectly because it was very rare for his wife''s character to initiate something like that and he turned her down. He was honestly regretting his stupidity. "Darling¡­" Xander whispered in her ear, holding her from her waist as her back was facing him. "Let me just hug you okay? If you want I will give you a massage so you can relax properly¡­" he suggested. "No!" Yera hissed recalling the last massage her husband gave her. Her traitor body would definitely squirm in temptation if she would allow him to do it again. She felt her husband hugging her from behind while burying his face on her nape. "Darling¡­ Please don''t get irritated anymore. If you only knew how hard it was for me to suppress my desires and show such self control this morning¡­" She could feel her husband''s warm breath on her nape while he explained himself. She bit her lip because her husband had started to make his seductive movements with his hand that was roaming already inside her nightgown. Yera cursed at the thought that she should have worn a pair of pajamas instead. She tried to ignore her husband''s teasing hands but her body was betraying her. Before she knew it, her husband was already inside her panty, his fingers caressing her sleek folds while he had started to lick her nape. "Stop that¡­" she whispered in her hoarse tone. It was barely to be heard because her body was starting to kindle with the sensation and pleasure she was feeling. "Stop what darling?" Xander huskily hummed followed with inserting his finger teasingly inside her entrance. She was already wet and Xander could feel the e.r.o.t.i.c movements of her body. He took the advantage of her weak moment and quickly moved on top of Yera and had her to face him while his finger was still gently teasing her, thrusting inside and making round movements, forcing out m.o.a.ns from her mouth, weakening all her resolve. He lifted her nightgown so his mouth could suck and play with her already hardened peaks. "Are you sure you want me to stop now? Just say it. Tell me to stop, and I will respect your decision and stop right away darling..." Xander asked in between his sucking and nibbling on Yera''s n.i.p.p.l.e while he continued to move his fingers in her. Yera''s body was arching while her head and body was arguing whether to tell her husband to stop or not. If she said ''stop'' then it meant she won over him but if she said ''don''t stop'' then she lost over him. She pulled her husband from sucking her n.i.p.p.l.es to face her, and with misty eyes she whispered, "Don''t stop¡­" She pulled him for a passionate kiss while she spread her legs apart giving him more way to accept him fully. Yera unconsciously smiled because she could always eat her ego for her husband because her husband was worth it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He smiled, feeling blissful. He wanted their relationship to remain like this. Though quarrel was inevitable in every relationship what was important was at the end of the day they would still end up in each others arms. "I love you darling," Xander whispered as their bodies melted into each other''s warmth underneath their comforter. "I love you too," Yera lovingly answered as she closed her eyes. The couple was about to sleep but Xander''s mobile started ringing. Seeing it was Ralf, he immediately answered because he knew that it would be an important matter if Ralf called so late at night. "Hello Sir. A dead body was found in the suburbs near the capital city that matched the identification of the leader of the gang who abducted madam. The CCTV footage is missing but according to the witnesses, someone was chasing that man and he was deliberately crushed by the vehicle¡­ We are still waiting for the autopsy report to come." Ralf reported from the other line. Xander''s face darkened as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. Just like he had suspected, it would not end with the Go''s. He ought to quicken the training of his wife to make her self reliant when it comes to self defense and he now planned to teach her various ways to protect herself with any available things around her should the worst happen. Yera who was resting on Xander''s chest tilted her head to look at him because she noticed the sudden uneasiness in Xander''s mood as soon as the call he received ended. "What is it? Is there a problem?" she asked because Xander''s tone while he was on the phone sounded serious. Xander exhaled loudly and said, "You will need to focus hard on your training darling and I mean it. The following days will be busy and we will prioritize this at all cost." Then he added, "Someone killed the leader of the gang who abducted you. Ralf sent me the file so you can confirm the red dragon tattoo on the body of the man found, if it''s the same you saw¡­" The Go''s no longer had any resources plus Jam was not having any suspicious movement. Whoever killed that bastard who abducted Yera was obviously the mastermind for her intended killing. Yera could fully grasp the seriousness of the current situation. "Let''s rest for now. I will look at the photos tomorrow," Yera answered. She didn''t want a nightmare after a wonderful evening. "Don''t worry darling¡­ We will catch them soon¡­" Xander muttered because he could sense his wife''s body tensed against him. Yera felt Xander''s embrace tighten on her while she let out a silent sigh. She wanted to bury that nightmare and never even look back at those memories, but she couldn''t, until the person who was after her was captured. ''Get them soon,'' Yera mused, hopefully it happened very soon as it would only then be possible for her to feel completely at peace. Get those bastards soon so she could finally live a carefree life with her husband and build her own family without getting worried. ......... Lyndon was drinking alone in his home while he looked at the envelope sent anonymously to his house. He was contemplating whether to open it or not. He gulped his glass of whiskey while he stared at the envelope. Then he looked at the wall clock in his bar area. It was already late and it would be another sleepless night for him. Proper sleep for him at night was rare unless he gulped alcohol before going to bed. Drinking alcohol had become his usual routine at night, for him to be able to have a nice deep sleep since the day he thought Yera was dead. He heaved a long deep sigh before grabbing the envelope. He opened it and his eyes widened seeing the photos and information inside. Who could be that person who would take time to send him something like this. The first person that came into his mind was Jam but then later he realized that Jam could not benefit anything from it so she would definitely not do it, besides Jam was nowhere to be found. She was serious when she said she would leave. After what had happened between them, the next thing he did when he woke up was to try to get in touch with her but her mobile number was no longer reachable and her house was locked. Her car was missing indicating she had really left and he confirmed it with the security of the private residential area. Lyndon stared at the photos before reading the reports with it. It was Yera''s photo with a man who was said to be Bernard Cooper. He recognised late Bernard Cooper because of that reality show where he became very popular. He was also aware that he was almost mistaken as Xander Yang''s twin however, he was not aware that Bernard was in a relationship with Yera while she was Deyna Song during those times that she had an amnesia. The data was very detailed including how Deyna and Bernard were together when that accident happened and where Bernard died. ''Could it be that Yera is only seeing Bernard in Xander?'' Lyndon mused. That speculation was giving him hope that somehow he still had a chance to fight, to take back what was initially his. Yera was his fiance before everything else. The love he saw in Yera''s eyes for Xander could be because Xander looked exactly like Bernard Cooper. What could be the intention of that person who sent him all this information and the photos? Obviously, whoever that person was wanted to encourage him to get in between Yera and Xander so Lyndon thought that it could be someone from Xander''s side? The man was a well known womanizer so he wouldn''t be surprised that someone did not want Xander Yang to have a happy life. The message was sound and clear. He could use this information as a scandal to destroy Xander and Yera''s relationship, before they could even announce to everyone that they were married. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

His sister was very fast and all doc.u.ments to support his identity as a Han were prepared, it was all in agreement with his mother who let him decide whatever he preferred. So right now, it was official. He was now included in the Han lineage. His sister also insisted that a formal welcome celebration should be given to him as a new addition in the family and to introduce him to everyone as well as the heir of the Life Globals group. Though Dion was hesitant at first but after he finished reading the journal of his father, everything had changed. The journal had encouraged him a lot to continue the legacy of his father and his dreams to help more people by means of their company. He vowed that he would support his sister wholeheartedly in fulfilling those dreams and that he would strive and work harder for it. Tomorrow, he would start reporting at Life Globals group''s head office as the COO but he would still accept important surgeries like her sister. Dion knew he would be busy in the following days but then his plan to make Rizie fall in love with him would also proceed since Rizie should be with him always as an assistant and he would make sure for that to happen. He woke up early to prepare breakfast for Rizie today. He would go all out pampering her for taking good care of him during this time and before the two of them get too busy with work. His sister saw him with the tray of food at the stairs. Dion quickly explained and said, "I feel bad that she took care of me well so this is the least I could do for her¡­" Yera laughed seeing how red her brother''s face was. "Why are you explaining? You''re a grown up man now so I''m sure you know what you''re doing. Go for it and do all that you can so she won''t consider dumping you after a month. Remember there''s still a high possibility for you to get dumped soon. She easily gets bored so make sure everyday is exciting¡­" Yera advised before she gave a pat on her brother''s shoulder and then proceeded to go down the stairs to join her husband for breakfast. Dion pressed his lips together because of his sister''s intentional pressuring words. Then he scratched his head because his sister was like an alarm clock, often reminding him that he would get dumped soon. Rizie told him that he could enter her room anytime he wanted, especially if he would need any help in case he could not reach her on her mobile phone. He opened Rizie''s door and as he had expected she was sleeping since it was still early and the sun was still not up. He put the tray of food on the bedside table while he sat on the side of the bed. He stared at Rizie and smiled. As he said before, Rizie was the total opposite of his ideal woman. Who would have thought that he would unexpectedly fall for her. Dion smiled and lifted his hand to gently caress Rizie''s soft cheeks. "Are you really going to dump me after a month''s relationship?" he murmured. ''I will not allow that to happen¡­ I will make sure that even this word will not cross your mind whenever we''re together and all that will cross your mind when I am not near you will only be me." he added with a low tone, almost a whisper. Rizie moved and slowly opened her sheepish eyes. "Good morning¡­" Dion smiled at her with his sparkling eyes. Rizie smiled back. It was the first time that Dion had woken her up like this. Usually she was the one who would first go to his room to check if he was still sleeping or already awake. She comfortably sat on the bed but her eyes went round as she realized something. She unconsciously touched her hair and almost tripped as she jumped out from her bed to run straight into the bathroom. Dion on the other hand grinned while he followed Rizie. "So cute," he mumbled with a suppressed laugh. Rizie scrunched up her face as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked like a poodle with that messy hair of hers. She instantly combed it with her fingers trying to fix it before she went out. She could see the teasing smile on Dion''s face which she answered with a coy smile. "My hair was very messy so¡­" Rizie tried to explain, trying to find the right words so she wouldn''t look funny. "Nah, you look pretty even in your messy hair. I like it even more. You really look cute with that," Dion complimented with a smile, maintaining eye contact. He meant each word he said. Rizie suddenly felt shy while her face blushed. "I wanted to serve breakfast in bed to you. I cooked and prepared all these dishes for you. Come here and eat. Let me try feeding you with my own hands this time." Dion said as he grabbed the tray and put it on the table inside the room where he could feed Rizie. "Are you better now? Why bother with these things. We can eat downstairs with everyone." commented Rizie as she sat on the chair pulled by Dion to make her sit near him. "Yeah but I won''t be able to feed you there with that meddling doctor couple around¡­" Dion nonchalantly said Rizie laughed and scoffed, "Why are you feeding me with your hands? I''m not sick. I can feed on my own you know." Dion expected her to say all this, so he said, "Well¡­ I want to see if my arm is really well or not by now, so I am trying to move my arms and check if it is okay or not¡­" He put a spoonful of rice with fish and lifted his arm so he could feed Rizie who was a bit confused with his reason. Rizie opened her mouth though to accept the bite. She looked at Dion confusedly while the latter moved his shoulder a bit and murmured, "Hmm, I think I can lift it now but something still feels odd." Dion continued to scoop rice and put on fish while he moved his shoulders as if testing if he would feel something uncommon. "Here one more spoon. I''m assessing how my shoulder is because feeding you is similar to moving hands when I''m inside the operation theater doing surgery. Maybe I should practice more the movement of my hand by feeding you every now and then. This way I can assess if I''m already good enough to do surgeries." Dion declared while he fed another spoonful of the meal to Rizie. "Huh?" Rizie swallowed without chewing. She looked at Dion in disbelief, wondering if what he was blabbering made sense at all. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie asked while they were inside the car. She was sitting with Dion on the backseat of the car. Dion smiled at her and simply said, "We''re going on a date¡­" "Really? But wait¡­ Are you sure you''re really fine now?" Rizie reconfirmed. Dion pinched her nose and said, "Yeah. I''m really fine now." "Where are we going then?" Rizie excitedly asked. "Hmm, we''ll watch a movie first then we will go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park and if we still would have time and energy left, then tell me what else you want to do¡­" Dion replied. All these were a few of the things that Rizie had mentioned previously that she would like to do with Rui. Well, he was confident that Rizie would love to do it with him now. He felt Rizie grab and squeeze his hand and then she looked at him with a forced smile on her small face, she bashfully murmured and whispered, "Hmm, about that ahm, that was before and you do know it''s you whom I like so¡­" She felt bad for Dion, because he recalled all those ideas she then had thinking about Rui at that time, once they would go on a date, but of course things were different now she ended up being with Dion. So she added, "I would love to do all these things with you now¡­" Dion crinkled his nose and said, "You don''t have to explain. Of course I understand simple matters like these ones. As long as you will like me, nothing else matters." Dion wished he could change the word like to love but then he did not want to rush Rizie or panic her because he had been with Rizie long enough to know her sentiments. She easily got worried with these kinds of words and things. She had a tendency to get panicked whenever she was pressured. It was all psychological and he would help her to overcome this in due time. Right now, what was important was for them to enjoy each other''s company whenever they were together. They first went into the cinema to watch a romance, suspense and horror film that was newly released. It was a box office hit and he knew Rizie liked the suspense genres in movies. They went to the biggest multiplex in the city and Dion asked Rizie to wait and sit in a chair while he bought the tickets and some popcorn. He suddenly felt uneasy for some unknown reason, his sixth sense started making him feel that someone was watching them, so he looked around thinking there was again an unnatural thing lingering around but there was nothing. He then went back to get Rizie. "Let''s get inside¡­ The movie is about to start soon." he said with a beaming smile. Rizie nodded while she wrapped her arms with Dion''s as they walked inside the cinema. "Do you really want to do this? We look so suspicious in these outfits¡­" Xander mumbled after he bought the tickets where the seats were just two rows away from the back of Dion and Rizie. "Do we really need to stalk them like this?" he rephrased. "Stop complaining and let''s go inside¡­" Yera sneered. She was supposedly about to visit the hospital when she accidentally overheard the staff in the kitchen gossiping about Dion and Rizie going out on a date that day. So during breakfast she had convinced Xander to tag along with her and stalk the two. She just wanted to make sure if those two would not do anything stupid because she wanted to protect her brother''s character before meeting Rizie''s parents. She heard Rizie''s brother was a very strict man who would soon become the Field Marshal of their country so she wanted Dion to be seen in a good light and wanted them to get married before giving Rizie a bump because Rizie''s family were very conservative. "Can''t you just put more trust in your brother?" Xander commented when they were finally inside and seated. "Of course I trust my brother but you see you cannot trust the desires of a young body as sometimes it has its own consciousness that can overpower the mind," Yera whispered. Xander grinned and said, "I see. I guess you''re right since it''s based on experience," pulling his wife''s leg on the spot. Yera raised an eyebrow and threatened, "If you don''t zip that mouth of yours -- I will really make you sleep in the guestroom instead. That instant Xander''s lip sealed like it had been applied with glue. Yera silently chuckled and whispered, "It will start soon. Keep your eyes open. A lot can happen in the dark¡­" Xander almost choked on his own saliva while he shook his head and saw his wife keenly watching the couple sitting in the seats two rows ahead of them. "Woaaaww!" Xander gushed together with the crowd inside the cinema. The movie was really captivating and he even grabbed his wife''s arm or buried his face on her neck whenever any scary scene came up. Yera on the other hand rolled her eyes because she was getting distracted while on watch because of her husband.. Meanwhile, Dion felt Rizie''s body lean closer to him while she hugged one of his arms like a pillow. He couldn''t concentrate on the movie at all because Riziie''s front was brushing on his arm every once in a while and he could feel her round soft melons pressing against his arm. She was not wearing padded bras, he observed. Dion gulped because he was tempted to make a bold move. But then he would silently scold himself every once in a while to keep himself composed and controlled. As he was trying to calm his raging nerves again, Rizie''s face turned towards him and so did he to her. It was like a magnet that pulled them together that his eyes lowered and saw her parted lips¡­ as if waiting for him to give them his attention. Dion, unconsciously bent his head down to attend to those full lips. And right there, the two passionately kissed each other, while Dion''s hand moved to search for more. Hoping to feel those round melons as he slipped his hand inside Rizie''s blouse. He was almost there when he felt something fall on his head like it was raining that made him stop. "What''s this?" he exclaimed. "Popcorns?" Rizie muttered when she picked some that fell on her dress. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dion looked at his back and saw two persons, a couple perhaps, hugging each other intimately. ''What''s with them?'' he mumbled, thinking if those two were responsible for those popcorn thrown at them. He contemplated whether he would confront them seeing the two seemed to be having intimate moments. "Shhh, ignore it¡­ Let''s just watch the movie." Rizie hushed, her cheeks flushed recalling that the two of them were doing the same thing just a while ago. "I think that''s them¡­" Dion grumbled. Rizie chuckled and jested, "Maybe they''re just jealous or distracted. Let them be¡­ If it happens again, I will pull their hair out." She couldn''t help but laugh. This was the first time she did something like this in the dark, though she had heard about intimate things like this was common inside the cinema. Dion scratched his head and listened to Rizie but inside he was cursing whoever was responsible for disturbing them. He was almost there... He exhaled loudly and continued to watch the movie. As soon as it ended and the lights were on, the first thing Dion did was to look at their back to see the couple but to his dismay they were already gone. Meanwhile, outside the cinema¡­ "Why did you do that? That was too childish¡­" Xander could not help but comment regarding Yera who intentionally threw the popcorns on Dion and Rizie. Yera''s eyes rolled as she answered, "It''s been too long¡­ That kiss¡­" Xander''s mouth fell open hearing the childish reason from his wife. "It''s not like something could happen inside the cinema¡­" he muttered but Yera heard it. "Precisely¡­ That''s a possibility like in movies, everything can happen in the dark¡­" Yera was convinced that made Xander burst into laughter. "Darling, those are R rated movies and this cinema is nothing like that besides Dion and Rizie are educated enough not to do it there¡­" Xander burst out. Then he added, "The movie was not finished yet." He was enjoying the movie thoroughly but his wife suddenly pulled him out before he could even grasp the ending of the movie. "Let''s watch it again some other time and I will demonstrate to you that anything can happen even with educated people in the cinema¡­" Yera scorned at him that made Xander gulp. His wife was scary but somehow he was anticipating action as per her last words now. He was quickly pushed to the side when the crowd finally started going out from the cinema. Both of them wore a couple cap and shaded with a couple shawl to completely hide their face as they vaguely followed Rizie and Dion who went outside of the mall. "Where are they going now?" Yera mumbled while they quietly followed. Dion and Rizie went outside the mall and upon stalking them Yera and Xander ended up inside the amus.e.m.e.nt park. "Are they kids?" Yera whined. Xander chuckled and grabbed Yera''s hand to pull her away from Dion and Rizie. "What are you doing?" she asked, confused. "Nah, those two can''t do anything intimate inside the amus.e.m.e.nt park so let my men stalk them. While we''re here, let''s enjoy the place for ourselves darling." Xander said with his flashing eyes. Yera, after a thought, did not disagree because her husband had a point. They walked together with hands tightly clasped together. Yera saw a big teddy bear and paused. Xander, with an ear to ear smile, boastfully said, "I will get it for you darling. The caretaker of the booth explained to Xander the rules of the game and how he could win the biggest stuff toy. All he needed to do was to insert the five rings in the pole at the center. He only had ten rings every round. Yera anticipated it and even cheered her husband but the first ring was a miss. Her face crumpled while Xander scratched his head and suggested, "Perhaps I will need some lucky charm before I throw the ring¡­" He was pointing his lips to Yera, asking her for a kiss. Year looked around and felt shy because they were not the only ones around. But her shameless husband seemed not to mind. Thinking no one could recognize them anyway with their disguise, Year gave her husband one smacking kiss on his lips. Xander grinned before he threw one ring and it was a slam shot. Year screamed and gave her husband another kiss, three pecks on a row on his lips this time. The caretaker of the booth almost cursed his single life watching the couple kiss and hug several times before him. Meanwhile, Dion and Rizie passed by the same booth and saw the public display of affection that was gaining attention by many in that booth. "What''s with those two? Can''t they just get a room?" Dion spluttered. Rizie on the other hand creased her forehead and blinked her eyes several times while she murmured, "Didn''t those two look familiar?" Dion raised his eyebrow as he followed Rizie who walked towards the booth. Xander only had two more rings and he only needed one more to get the big teddy bear for Year. He threw one ring but it was a miss. The couple garnered some audience already who were cheering Xander too since no one among them actually managed to complete those five rings in that pole. Year pouted her lips and mumbled, "You must not miss this one¡­ Make sure you throw it on the pole!" Xander gulped with the pressuring words from his wife. "If you''ll be able to shoot that ring on the pole, I''ll be on top of you for a week¡­" Year whispered in his ear. His wife knew how he loved it whenever she was doing the action on top of him probably because he would groan and m.o.a.n in pleasure louder or more frequently? Xander gulped¡­ With narrowed eyes, he focussed hard and threw the last ring. "Yes!!!" Yera shouted while she jumped at her husband clinging her arms on his neck while she showered him with kisses. "Sis?!" Dion burst out. Yera paused hearing that and she and Xander both looked at Dion with terror in their eyes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They were inside a private dining area where Dion sat beside Rizie facing the meddling couple sitting at the chairs opposite them. "I can''t believe this¡­" Dion echoed, freezing his eyes particularly to her sister. Yera elbowed Xander who cleared his throat by coughing before saying, "What? We are on a date too. The capital city is not that big I guess. Stop accusing us with those eyes like we were stalking you in here."] Rizie''s eyebrows raised while she murmured to Dion, "Isn''t those caps familiar? Like the ones with the couple in the cinema, the ones at our back¡­" Dion then realized that and blurted out, "You stalked us in the cinema also. You were the ones who threw those popcorn¡­" The two looked guilty with those downcasted heads¡­ Yera was the one who spoke first and said, "Xander wanted to watch that movie¡­" but she knew the alibis were too lame so she finally said, "Alright, it''s my fault. I''m sorry¡­ I was just worried¡­" Rizie''s eyes rounded while she burst, "Worried about what? Geez, I will not take advantage of your precious brother sis you know¡­" Xander almost choked at that and he could not contain himself to laugh. "Anyways, since we''re all here. Let''s just have a double date. Be more understanding with my darling guys. It''s her first time to have a brother whom she can care about, so she is somehow overprotective. Dion is the only one left in her family apart from the Yangs of course¡­" Xander sought with a wink at Rizie and Dion. Yera on the other hand cut her tongue because she knew that she was acting too nosey, her actions were a little too much, but she just could not help doing so¡­ "I''m really sorry. I won''t do this again¡­" Yera sincerely apologized. Rizie pouted her lips and then with an evil smirk she said, "Alright, I will accept your apology if you agree to just one condition of mine, since the day is still young let''s all go together and enjoy the rides¡­ You and bro have to go with me on all rides since Dion can''t go yet¡­" Yera and Xander both gulped as they looked at the rides. "You mean all?" Yera said "Yes, all of them dear sis! From those family friendly easy going rides to those exhilarating and extreme thrill rides!" Rizie declared with a sly smile on her face. Dion watched the scared look at the faces of the couple with an amused grin. ''It''s payback time!'' Rizie excitedly breathed. Xander and Yera had no choice but to follow Rizie around. They were very grateful that she chose the friendly rides first so Dion could also enjoy the rides with them, including the pond boat rides. "Do you want to escape them?" Xander whispered to his wife while Rizie and Dion were busy enjoying pedaling their swan boat in the pond. "Can we do that? I hate those extreme rides, they are really scary¡­" Yera answered. Meanwhile, Rizie knew that the meddling couple would definitely try to escape them so she reminded Dion, "make sure those two are always in our line of sight. I will not let them get away that easily for crashing our sweet moments on our first date. Dion laughed and asked, "Are you sure you''re okay riding on all those scary rides?" "Hah! Don''t you know that doing extreme things is my forte? That''s why I wanted to come here with my boyfriend to test his agility because I can ride any kind of scariest ride, until the park is closed. Lucky for you that you''re exempted today since you''re wounded but we''ll come again here, some other time once you''re totally healed¡­" Rizie boasted. She could still remember how her classmates were already puking while she was still enthusiastic enough to repeat all those extreme rides all over again. Dion shook his head. He could feel that his sister and Xander would be in big trouble soon. True enough, Dion and Rizie caught the meddling couple trying to sneakily run away in order to escape from their grasp, when they were about to start doing all those freaking rides. "You two¡­ Don''t you dare escape and face the consequences of getting caught while stalking us¡­. Why did you even stalk us like this in the first place? Me and Dion will really be disappointed in you both if you try to escape one more time¡­" Rizie echoed frowning. The two were left with no choice but to follow Rizie around with a heavy heart. They were freaking inside and yet had to obey that little brat! The first ride they did was the anchors away, during which Yera thought that her heart would drop out of her chest every now and then. She sat beside Xander who had become her pinching body while she had almost blown away his ears too with her loud screams every time they dropped down. Dion could not help but laugh at how busted the couple already looked while Rizie pulled them in for another ride. Rizie next went for the acrobatic exhibition rides that banked, looped, dived and mimicked weightlessness as each plane rotated anywhere 360 degrees while revolving around a central tower. Yera felt that she had almost lost her voice for screaming too much. Then what followed was a roller coaster ride that turned upside down, forward and backward that almost made Xander puke afterwards. Xander wanted to cry for spoiling his wife in following Rizie and Dion. It was his first time trying all those freaking extreme rides and vowed that same moment that he would never set foot in an amus.e.m.e.nt park ever again. "Darling¡­ Those two are already a.d.u.l.ts so we better let them be next time." Xander pleaded seeing Rizie running towards a ride that was spinning and rocking from left to right. Yera''s mouth twisted while she murmured, "I guess you''re right¡­ How come she has so much energy. Look at how she''s still lively and full of adrenaline to do more rides¡­" Xander chuckled and pervertedly commented, "That''s a good sign darling¡­ It''s going to be an advantage for your brother. Woman with a good drive is the best¡­ Like my darling¡­" Yera answered him with an icy stare to which Xander responded with a mischievous grin, anticipating the fulfillment of the promise his wife made for winning the big teddy bear for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Ready?" Yera asked Dion who nodded in agreement and smiled at her before they went inside the main door of the building. Dion was dressed in a dark blue, formal three piece suit and a red tie, giving him a very different vibe than usual. His countenance was bright and shining with confidence. Every step he took spoke of his aristocratic upbringing. He was Dion Han now and he looked nothing inferior to his sister Yera Han. The familiarity between the brother and sister pair was striking that they even walked in the same rhythm. The employees were not prepared for such a blinding sight so early in the morning. Everyone stood rooted in their places in awe and greeted the pair as they walked past them. Almost everyone was already aware of the sequence of incidents that took place in the Han family and were even aware of Dion''s relationship with Yera. Most of them held Dion in good light, so they were happy for him plus the fact that they admired their Chairwoman for wholeheartedly accepting her halfbrother in the family was a big wonder for them all. "No wonder those two were close and were often seen together," one of the nosy body employees commented. The security staff opened the door of the conference room. Yera and Dion entered inside with their heads held high and a small smile on their face. Yera made Dion sit beside her and after everyone was settled she took the mic and addressed all the shareholders present in there. Everyone was waiting for a formal announcement from Yera regarding Dion as many of them were curious but a few did have their ulterior motives behind the announcement. "Good morning everyone. As we all know, today we are here for the introduction of a special someone. Everyone, meet my brother Dion Han, the heir of Life Hospitals group. I hope that you all will show him the same respect and support as you all have been showing towards me. Please look after him whenever and as needed." Yera said before giving the microphone to Dion. Dion smiled then said in his deep and enigmatic voice, "Good morning everyone. I am Dr. Dion Han and I am very happy to be a part of this famous and very capable group of hospitals. I had worked here for quite some time earlier and I am very happy to be appointed as the COO of this group today. I would try to follow the footsteps of my dear sister Yera Han and bring Life Hospitals to a new height. Rizie could see all the women swooning on Dion, especially now when Dion was known as the heir of the Life Hospitals group, he had become very popular among them. She could not help but feel sour and jealous. Now she knew how it felt to have a boyfriend with a total complete package. After Dion was finished, the whole conference room echoed with clapping sounds and everyone congratulated Dion and Yera. Yera then took the microphone again and announced the grand party to formally welcome Dion as a part of the Life Hospitals group and take the post of the COO. Everyone cheered for him and was excited since every employee was invited to the party. After the conference was over, Mr. Lua was the first to shake Dion and said, "Hmm, no wonder you looked familiar the first time I saw you. You look so much like your father." Dion arched an eyebrow and gave him a faint smile. Based on what his sister briefed him, Mr. Lua would stand with the opposition side when the possible merger with the Yangs might happen, and right now he should be the one to be watched out for thoroughly because he held a large amount of stock like Lyndon. "Would you like to grab some drinks with me?" Mr. Lua invited him with a broad smile. Dion nodded and answered, "That would be great. Just have your secretary to call mine and set the date Mr. Lua." "Absolutely," Mr. Lua replied with a wide grin. Dion greeted and had a handshake with the rest of the board of directors. He wanted to help his sister to convince everyone for the intended merging. His sister had a stiff personality when it came to convincing others so it would be hard on her part to convince the others unlike him so he would handle the talking part now. After he personally met everyone, he turned his head to search for Rizie and found her standing with a group of people. He smiled at her but didn''t get any response from her. ''Why is she frowning?'' he thought because he could see the colliding of Rizie''s eyebrows. "Hey, Doc congratulations!" He heard Jane greeting him from behind so he quickly turned around to thank the latter. "I''m glad that you chose to stay here." he commented. Jane timidly shied and said, "Yeah¡­ I''m also grateful to you Doc and the Chairwoman for helping me out and forgiving me at the same time¡­" Dion smiled and unconsciously patted Jane''s shoulder. He was grateful to Jane also because she stood as a witness in the trial regardless of how it would impact her in her workplace. "I was at fault too so a little gossiping behind my back is really nothing to care for. What matters is that you and the Chairwoman forgave me already¡­" Jane opened with teary eyes. "Nah¡­ Don''t you dare cry here Jane¡­ Or I will take back all the thanks I just gave you¡­" Dion jested. "Who''s crying?" Yera interrupted with a smile. Dion pointed his lips towards Jane. Yera smiled and said, "Let her cry, it would look like you dumped her." Yera joked leaving Jane startled and gasping for air because of embarrassment. Then she added. "Go now to your girlfriend¡­ She''s been throwing too many daggers on your back already." Dion immediately turned and looked for Rizie whose head tilted down when his eyes and hers met. Dion almost ran towards Rizie''s direction. Meanwhile, Yera looked at Jane and shared, "Don''t worry, gossips will die down soon and what is important is you did what was right in the end¡­ Focus on your work and you''ll be fine soon Jane. We are really grateful that you testified today." Jane nodded. Yera smiled. Yesterday Jane had testified against Juliet Go and Yera was thoroughly updated with how the trial was doing. So far, so good. Very soon she would finally bring justice to her parents and grandfather''s death. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Go back and continue flirting there and don''t come near me¡­" Rizie sputtered with pursed lips when Dion suddenly appeared in front of her. "Stop being jealous Riz. That''s Jane¡­ And she''s just thankful that sis and I still forgave her and gave her another chance by allowing her to keep working here." Dion whispered. Rizie only answered him with pouted lips. Yes she was jealous of all the women looking at her boyfriend like a big fat prey that they wanted to devour on the first chance they got. Dion wanted to be open about their relationship but she was the one who insisted to keep it a secret for now since she did not want any gossip especially now that the Han''s had enough of it already. She noticed Dion grinning mischievously so with lifted brow she asked, "What''s so funny?" "Hmm¡­ Nothing, just that.. I like it. Seeing you getting jealous, I feel secured and special in your heart somehow." Dion happily disclosed. If Rizie acted like this it only meant that she liked him a lot right? But would this much of feelings be enough for her not to leave him later? His face suddenly sagged at that thought. Rizie noticed the sudden change in Dion''s aura so she asked, "What''s wrong? Just a while ago you were grinning and now you suddenly look disheartened." Dion emitted a deep sigh before saying, "Nothing. I just hate the fact that I will be very busy soon but then as long as you''re by my side always, I can tolerate everything." "I''m anticipating that you will guard me from all those flies like my sister guarded my bro-in-law. Or else you will leave me no choice but to declare to the whole world that I already have a woman and it''s none other than my executive assistant." Dion muttered while he continued to smile to everyone that was greeting him. "I''m not a bodyguard to guard you. I might as well bury you alive if you don''t keep your distance from any flirtatious women." Rizie casually threatened that made Dion release a short crispy laugh. "Don''t worry¡­ I will only maintain closeness with you Miss Rizie Lim because I like it too much whenever you''re near me." "Stop that! Someone might hear you¡­" Rizie scolded and sighed upon confirming that no one was near their spot. She bashfully smiled inside while she blushed. She could feel butterflies flying around inside her stomach. She looked at Dion who winked at her. Her feelings for him were definitely deeper compared to other relationsh.i.p.s she had ever had but she couldn''t deny the fact that she was still scared¡­ She was scared of having a deeper connection because she felt that nothing would really last forever if she got too much attached with it. ......¡­. Shan was very busy assisting the Chairwoman with all the things during the introduction of Dr. Dion Han as her brother and the new COO for Life Hospitals group when she heard her mobile phone ringing incessantly. It was assistant Ron who was calling her over and over again and because she was too occupied, she intentionally cancelled the call at the thought of returning it soon once everything was settled inside the function hall. However, Shan later on forgot to return the call because of the pile of work she had. The Chairwoman asked to get an assistant for her but Shan couldn''t find someone she could trust yet which was very crucial due to the confidentiality of the things she was handling in the office. She saw unread messages in her phone when she got time to open and check it but her eyes froze open while she read it all. [This is important. Return the call.] [Go meet me in the parking lot right now.] [if it''s a matter of life and death, somebody already died. Be more proactive will you?] [I''m waiting at the parking lot¡­] Shan''s ears reddened in annoyance. ''Be more proactive?! Is he nuts? Didn''t he know I have other works at hand?'' she silently screamed while she quickly prepared to leave. She hurriedly walked towards the parking lot with flaring nostrils, ready to fire the dragon''s breath on him. She saw assistant Ron''s car parked near the exit door but before she could walk towards there the car moved and stopped in front of her. The car window on the passenger seat in the front opened and came a deep ordering voice, "Hop in fast!" assistant Ron instructed. Shan did as told and was about to fire her rant when assistant Ron suddenly handed her a pile of doc.u.ments. "Check these doc.u.ments and read them out loud to me while I am driving¡­ We are going to meet one of the board of directors who had committed embezzlement. You will be representing the Chairwoman so make sure you do things right." Shan gulped hearing more instructions from assistant Ron. How could she fire her rant at this point? It would be definitely out of tune. She was about to read the doc.u.ments when Ron suddenly stopped the car at the side of the road. Shan immediately thought if she had done something wrong and panicked¡­ she found Ron staring at her with indescribable looks. He stared straight into her eyes and shook his head a little, then he unfastened his seat belt and turned towards her... "What????" she panicky stuttered when Ron leaned forward towards her. ''Is he going to kiss me?'' That was the first thought that crossed her brazen mind so she raised her arms making a cross sign in front of her chest and shrank back in her seat and closed her eyes. Then she heard Ron speak, "What''s in your head? Straighten up will you?" *Click! She heard the sound of the seatbelt being locked and felt him going back towards his seat. Shan opened her eyes and looked at the seatbelt Ron put on her. He was back in his position on the driver''s seat with his seat belt on. The engine started and the car moved back on the road. "I told you to be more proactive. Even wearing a simple seatbelt, you tend to forget¡­" she heard Ron scold. All Shan could do was twist her face in embarrassment. Then she heard a sigh from Ron. "Please read the files now¡­" Shan wanted to cry as she flipped the doc.u.ments and started to read. Today, she knew why CEO Xander Yang was always winning even as of now because one of the important cards he had was his robotic assistant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Did you check my wife''s schedule for today with Shan? What time is she coming home? See if I can pick her up." Xander asked in a row. Assistant Ron helplessly sighed, releasing tension out of his lungs. This was the second day. He wondered how many more days his Boss would repeat the same question all over again. It started the day when the two of them stalked Dion and Rizie so he wondered what was going on between the couple. Meanwhile, Xander was grinning widely, anticipating more intimate moments with his wife. He was so amused watching her with conflicted looks on how to start being on top of him in fulfilling her promises the past nights. Though every night was a blast. He wondered where they would do it this time. "Sir, you will have to meet with¡­" Ron paused seeing an important pop up in the notifications on his tab he was looking at. He gulped and immediately handed it to his Boss. Xander started having facial tics. With clenched jaws he instructed, "Bring all those articles down. Check who is responsible for it. Cancel all my appointments and head me straight to my wife. She should not see all these¡­" "Sir, I think madame already saw those. Shan is calling me now and I received several text messages¡­" assistant Ron murmured. Xander took his mobile phone that was also filled with unread messages and missed calls from his wife. Because he was busy dreaming naughty things, he did not notice that his mobile phone had been vibrating in his suit pocket. He immediately answered when it rang once again. "Where are you?" Yera asked in a worried tone. Xander told her that they were on the road and asked if she was still in the hospital. "Stay there and I''ll just pick you up in a while." Xander advised before ending the call. He could hear Ron talking on his mobile phone, making sure that any article and news pertaining to Bernard and Yera would be shut down. There was nothing wrong if the whole world knew that Yera and his cousin Bernard were previously engaged and the two of them got separated because Bernard unfortunately died in the road accident the couple encountered. What was making Xander rage at that point was how maliciously the articles were written. It viciously stated that Yera could not get over her past love and she was clinging with Bernard''s cousin after Bernard to secure her life. It also said that Yera only wanted him because he was a carbon copy of his cousin. There were even pictures of him and Yera during the event for Yang Globals reopening where she was actually clinging on his hands while on the other side was a picture of Yera when she was with Bernard. Xander was very mad and cursed the person behind that malicious article. "How dare that person poison my mind!" he hissed. That was his dilemma ever since Yera had confessed to him. Though Yera already told him that she loved him but something in his head was still murmuring the possibility that Yera only saw Bernard in him. However, his love for her was greater that he couldn''t care less as long as Yera was by his side. It was more than enough for him. Yera went inside the car and dismissed everyone as soon as they arrived at the private parking area of Life Hospitals and took the driver''s seat. Xander was confused seeing Yera on the driver''s seat. "Don''t make me a driver and seat here¡­" Yera calmly signaled Xander to sit on the passenger seat. Xander was still confused as he moved out of the car and went back inside to sit at the passenger seat. Yera stepped on the gas and drove the road. "What''s with the unfocussed gaze? Excessive swallowing? Chewing your lip?" Yera remarked while driving. She was observing the unusual behavior of her husband. Upon reading those articles, she immediately thought of Xander and she already expected this behavior from him though she was of course hoping it was the other way around. Xander gave her a smile as he tried to look cheerful and said, "Hmm, nothing, it''s just that I''m a bit startled. Where are we going?" Yera pursed her lips and mumbled, "You''re bad in alibis and lying darling. Did you know that?" Yera grabbed Xander''s hand and gently pressed it before she continued, "I should have done this long ago but it slipped my mind because a lot had happened and we were both quite busy. Xander actually was lost for words. He just did not know what to say. He became timid for the first time in his life. The road Yera was driving to was familiar to him. That was the road toward Bernard''s graveyard. He looked at Yera with knitted brows, wondering what they were doing there. Yera parked inside the exclusive cemetery and looked at him. "Let''s go¡­ I have something to confess and report to Bernard and I want you to hear it." Xander felt his heart race. His palms became cold because he felt nervous. Yera had to almost pull him out of the car because he was hesitating to go out. He could feel the warmth of Yera''s hand wrapped on his as they walked towards Bernard''s tombstone. "Relax darling. Why is your hand so cold? It''s not like you will be sentenced today¡­" Yera jested and pressed his palm hard that made Xander cringe. "Ouch darling! that hurts¡­" he complained. Yera laughed and said, "You seem out of yourself so I''m just waking you up." They reached Bernard''s tombstone. Xander heard Yera cleared her throat before she started talking. "It''s been a while¡­ Can you see me from wherever you are? I brought your cousin with me this time because I''m sure he has some insecurities towards you. You should scold him in his dream later will you?" Yera humorly started. Then she turned and faced Xander and held his under hand. "Bernard, I''m sorry¡­ Things happened unexpectedly but I''m grateful it happened this way after you left. I don''t regret the decisions I took and will repeat the same thing in my life if given a chance to turn back time. Because those events lead me to the person who is giving more meaning to my life. I must confess that my heart was stolen and completely transformed by your cousin Xander. You will always remain in memory Bernard, a very good memory that I will cherish my whole life¡­ But my heart¡­ My heart is now owned by my husband¡­ I voluntarily gave it to him because I love him wholly¡­" Tears filled in Xander''s eyes as he pulled his wife into a tight embrace. "Hmm, I only hope that my husband will not have a second thought about my feelings for him because it really saddens me to see how he was hesitating today Bernard, so can you please convince him and visit him to scold him properly¡­" Yera added just to tease her husband who was now being emotional. "Tsk¡­ Stop that darling. Do you want me to have creepy nightmares? I''m already convinced alright so stop asking this dead bastard, who left his brother alone, for all these requests. Let him rest in peace¡­" Xander answered with a cheerful tone despite the stuttering voice because of sobbing. Yera gently pushed her husband and with pursed lips scolded, "I thought Xander Yang never felt insecure¡­" Xander laughed and said, "Well it''s different when it comes to Bernard because my cousin was like my own brother and not comparable to anyone except with me of course." "Come here¡­" Xander muttered, pulling his wife in his embrace once more while they both stared at Bernard''s tombstone who for sure was happy wherever he was and gave them his full blessing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Skip it if you''re not comfortable or under age okay! I warned you!] They went back inside the car and this time it was Xander who drove the car. He was feeling very happy and he asked his wife, "how about we go out to watch cinema. I didn''t get to watch the climax of the movie last time and I really wanted to see the end¡­ and I also remember that you mentioned that you will show me how anything could be possibly done in the dark. I remember that you promised you would give me a demo later on..." "Xander Yang!" Yera burst in squinted eyes. Xander laughed and teasingly murmured, "I just heard it from you darling. It''s not like I''m the one who mentioned that first¡­" Yera narrowed her eyes at Xander and looked outside and instructed, "stop the car at the side of the road¡­" Xander did so and then asked, "Why what''s wrong?" His wife looked left and right then at the front and the back view from the outside. "Message Ralf, tell them to keep their distance from us and we will rest for a few minutes?" "Huh?" Xander was a bit puzzled but quickly did as Yera instructed. As soon as he was done, he was startled to see Yera bent forward at him and push his seat backwards. He watched in awe as his wife jumped on his lap after adjusting the car seat. "I''m not going to do it in the cinema hall but let me demonstrate it here right now since our car is heavily tinted¡­" his wife whispered with her naughty smile. ''My wife is misbehaving!'' Xander was alarmed but instead of stopping his wife, he only gawked in anticipation. He gulped when his wife started to unbutton his pants. She paused and with narrowed eyes murmured, "Darling¡­ How come it''s already bulging?" Xander reddened in embarrassment. His wife has done nothing yet except for removing his pants so he too was wondering why his buddy was standing tall the instant she touched him. He felt her hand tugging his length that made him growl in rhapsody. The warmth of his wife''s palm gently rubbing it felt so relaxing and intoxicating. His eyes flickered with desire while he pulled her towards himself, holding her from the back of her neck, for a deep kiss. He looked askance when he felt his wife''s hand release his length. But then she made him shiver when he felt her honey pot teasingly brushing on his length. He could still feel her underwear brushing on him. Yera loved to wear a dress so it was easy for her to attack him like this though he was not complaining at all. Yera on the other hand continued to shower her husband with sensual kisses down on his neck, giving hickeys to his skin she would run through while she continued to make sensual movements on top of her husband. Xander was getting anxious to touch his wife too so he removed her blazer while he sucked in her lips for a passionate, deep kiss. He did not bother to unhook her bra but only pulled it down so he could feel her round bosoms and played on her hardened buds with his mouth. "Hmm¡­" both m.o.a.ned in pleasure as Xander licked and sucked one of her protruded buds. Yera arched her chest and held Xander''s length to guide it in her honey pot. She almost forgot that her underwear was still there but then she did not remove it and just moved it sideways to give way to her husband''s hard length ready to slip inside her already slippery opening. It went inside of her and the warmth and its fullness filled her whole body. She was gabbing Xander''s hair while the latter continued to pay his full attention to her chest. With an arched body, she moved, accommodating all of his length inside her. She moved up and down with her other hand getting support from the car window. She was totally lost and consumed by desire while she moved back and forth followed by Xander''s deep thrusting, dancing in her rhythm. The car was shaking and it was a good thing that people rarely went down those paths. After a few more minutes, the couple reached total jubilation as Yera and Xander did one final deep thrust together, filling each other with their own release. Xander did not think that his wife''s misbehaviour could be this thrilling¡­ He smiled wickedly as he hugged her still shivering body tightly because of her climax. Then he whispered, "Mrs. Yang¡­ I''m still not waiving off the cinema experience. You do know that we can use our private theatre in the mansion and have it locked up for ourselves...." Yera pinched the side of his belly and croaked, "Are you sure that you previously had that erectile dysfunction disorder? Because the way I see it¡­ You have too much erectile function!" Xander burst into laughter and Yera did too, hearing her husband''s contagious laughter... .........¡­ Meanwhile, Xander''s security team assigned to follow the two of them wondered what the couple was doing. The youngest couldn''t help but naively asked, "For real? They are resting? I mean why don''t they just ask any of us to drive for them so both of them can rest while on the road?" The rest of the men inside the car burst out in loud laughter. "What?" the youngest person in the car exclaimed, wondering if there was something funny in what he said. "Dude, that''s what happens if you hire a single dog, the worst is a v.i.r.g.i.n on top of that." declared one of his Senior''s that made his face turn deep red because of total embarassment. All he could do was ask, "how long do you think we have to wait?" "Depends¡­ On how long those two will take to finish? You dummy - get a lovelife!" the team leader smacked... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"What''s this?" he blurted, wrinkles formed along his forehead as he read the article further. He once planned to do the same and publicize Yera''s relationship with Bernard, but he contemplated and gave more thought to it then he chose not to do this with Yera, he wondered who it could be now? As he read the article, he couldn''t help but develop some hope. He called at Yera''s office but Shan said that Yera had left in a hurry. He called his connections in the media to find out the person behind the article, but no one seemed to know who was behind it. After about an hour of release about it, the articles were all shut down by someone and Lyndon felt relieved after finding this out. He was sure it was either Xander or Yera who stopped the spread of the malicious news. He got ready for a meeting with an investor on the intended building project at Country V. The venue of the meeting was a fine dine-in restaurant. Mr. Tanaka, the main investor for the project, was a good friend of his and Yera''s and he was supposed to meet him with Yera that day. Lyndon did not call Yera but only sent her a message to remind her about the meeting place. He was already inside the restaurant when his mobile phone beeped. It was Yera who said that she would arrive soon for the meeting. Lyndon smiled on his own¡­ It felt just like good old days, having Yera with him in a meeting together. He was already inside the private room when Mr. Tanaka arrived. "Good to see you again man¡­" Mr. Tanaka cheerfully greeted Lyndon. He was an investor from country V and was a family friend of Hans. "Where is Yera? Do you know how shocked I was when the news reached me? God, you two must be fated together that she conquered death and came back to life¡­" Mr. Tanaka commented and it almost made Lyndon choke. Right then the door opened and Yera entered the private room. Mr. Tanaka who would often hug Yera immediately wrapped her in his warm embrace. "Oh God, I am so happy to see that you''re alive dear! I was so overwhelmed when I heard the good news, that I personally flew here to discuss the terms instead of my general manager," he gasped with amazement seeing Yera was really alive before him. Yera gently pushed the old man and smiled. "I''m glad to see you again Mr. Tanaka. Please be seated¡­" she gestured as she sat beside Lyndon to face Mr. Tanaka. "It''s really good to see you both again together like this." Mr. Tanaka sincerely mentioned. He looked at Yera and added, "Lyndon very well managed the Life Globals group while you were away." Yera smiled and nodded. She did agree that Lyndon was managing everything really well that was also the reason that she had let him keep the CEO position. She believed Lyndon had invested too much time and heart in growing their group and she was very grateful for that. During lunch, they discussed all their plans and proposals regarding the new project and Mr. Tanaka seemed to be very engrossed and optimistic about it. "So, next time I do hope that I receive the invitation for your wedding¡­" Mr. Tanaka nonchalantly commented. Yera almost choked on her drink hearing his words and she quickly corrected, "Mr. Tanaka, me and Lyndon are no longer engaged. A lot has actually happened lately¡­" "Ohhh¡­" Mr. Tanaka exclaimed and sighed. Lyndon smiled and said, "Yeah a lot has happened. If you''ll excuse me¡­ I''ll just go to the restroom." Mr. Tanaka nodded and Yera nodded. Lyndon stood up to go out of the room. It would be best that Yera explained the situation to Mr. Tanaka, besides, he did not want to hear it again. He went inside the restroom and was shocked as one cubicle opened and Xander Yang came out from it. Two men''s eyes met in the mirror at the sink. Xander casually walked towards the sink to wash his hands. Lyndon cleared his throat and bitterly commented, "Are you stalking her now?" Xander gave him a sharp glare with a smirk before he looked at his hands and continued to wash them. "Stalk? Don''t make it sound so bad like that. There''s a big difference in stalking and merely performing a husband''s simple obligations. Anyway, I see no need of explaining myself to you¡­" Xander simply responded before grabbing a hand tissue to dry his hands. Lyndon gritted his teeth and commented, "Yeah you''re right. I just hope that Yera is truly sincere and not just confused with her obsession for Bernard as having feelings for you, since you just look like a carbon copy of your cousin. You know, like what they said in those articles. It might be hard living in the shadow of someone forever Mr. Yang." Xander grinned and shook his head. "Hmm, what''s hardest is the pain of the person having unrequited love. Dude¡­ my wife and I are very happy right now and although not everyone around us could appreciate this still I hope that no one dares to try to ruin our mood or else¡­ I will not hesitate in crushing the person who would do so¡­" Xander voiced with an evil grin, tilted head and eyes staring directly at Lyndon. Xander patted Lyndon''s shoulder and murmured, "Move on man¡­" before he left him inside the restroom alone baffled and with conflicted expressions. He would probably punch Lyndon and turn him into pulp had he been the one behind that malicious article, but then Ralf had confirmed a while ago that Lyndon was clean and had nothing to do with it. He drove Yera to her important meeting and decided to wait for her at the same place in the other room while he had his lunch, but he did not expect to have an encounter with Lyndon. He sometimes pitied the guy but he was also irritated with the fact that Lyndon should move on and straighten up but he is not doing so, because if the latter messed up with him and Yera, he meant every word he said. He would crush Lyndon... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera asked Xander when she sat down in the car and they were already on their way home. The lunch meeting went well but Yera could feel Lyndon''s grief when Mr. Tanaka talked about their personal lives, particularly about the engagement between her and Lyndon. She could only hope that Lyndon could also have a happy love life like hers and she could also be guilt free from his side... "Yeah¡­ Ralf is working on it but something just feels off.. Whoever is behind this article has been following you since you''re Deyna Song¡­ I mean it shouldn''t be Bernard''s enemy right? As far as I know, Bernard had no enemies¡­ I will still contact my uncle and ask him in detail. I think we should reinvestigate the accident you and Bernard had¡­" Xander suggested. Yera was confused too about that incident now. All she remembered was that a truck hit their car, but then the investigations said that the driver was drunk and he also died in that accident. "Alright¡­ Let''s get it done then. Right now, we can''t afford to have any loose ends¡­" Yera responded. Yera''s mobile phone rang and it was one of the security teams that she had assigned to Dion for his safety as a precaution. "Is there a problem?" Xander asked as soon as Yera ended the call. "Hmm, Dion went out with Rizie¡­ These two, how dare they slack off from work so early. Do you have plans later?" Yera murmured. She was sure that Dion would be monitored closely for his sincerity and conduct by the board of directors since the COO position had been eyed by other directors also, for their kins. Xander''s eyes widened and asked, "Don''t tell me you are going to ask me to stalk them again!!" Yera laughed seeing the horror on her husband''s face. "Of course not. But I will have them still guarded from a far. Just to make sure Dion is safe, especially now that he is in an important post and is projected as the next heir of Life Globals officially. You never know who is the enemy until we catch the one responsible for my abduction." Then she added, "I asked about your plans later because you mentioned the movie a while ago¡­ So, if you want, let''s watch it again¡­ But maybe we should watch it in our private theatre." Xander gave his wife a quick glance and gladly nodded with sparkling eyes before looking back at the road. Yera knew those mischievous grins and mumbled, "I really doubt the doctor who assessed you having erectile dysfunction.... He is a total quack." Xander laughed and wondered if his dear friend Rui was sneezing a lot by now since Rui was the first doctor who assessed his psychological disorder. ...... Meanwhile, Rizie was a bit confused when Dion asked her to prepare early to leave from the office since it was too early then. She rechecked Dion''s schedule because she did not remember any meeting to be held outside the office at all. "Ready?" Dion asked and she nodded. "What''s going on?" she asked, seeing Dion pressed the top floor of the building instead of going down. Dion smiled at her and pressed her hand that he was holding while walking inside the elevator, since they were the only ones around. He had always felt that there was nothing more romantic than watching the sun set in the sky, reflecting off the city and the mountains. He was not a very outspoken person and had never had too many friends but whenever he saw the sunset he always felt the need of a partner. He wanted Rizie to feel his sincerity towards her and he also wanted to show her his true self, so he prepared a private helicopter to take them both around the city and watch a magnificent sunset together. For Rizie he wanted to play all out... He wanted to make a lot of good memories with her, memories to last a lifetime. Rizie looked at Dion totally baffled with excitement in her eyes as she looked at the helicopter. "Will we use that? Where are we going?" she shouted in Dion''s ear as they continued to walk. Dion simply answered, "Slacking off!!! Haha¡­ I know your adventurous soul will love this¡­ So I thought it should be good for a second date." "Wait? Is this one of the Life Hospitals helicopters?" Rizie asked with a worried tone because Dion was just new and using the Life Hospitals properties for pleasure was not allowed. She saw Dion laugh and bent down to her ear, "Hey don''t you know how loaded is your boyfriend? Don''t worry¡­ This is one of my private helicopters¡­" It was complete with in-flight champagne service that would take them over the city to experience the colours of the sunset over the water, city towers and the mountains¡­ Rizie was truly in awe with this new thrilling experience. Dion had an ear to ear smile as he watched Rizie''s expression. "Oh I really love it!" Rizie beamed, in great bliss with the breathtaking scenery from above not to mention the beautiful sunset. Everything was too beautiful and magical, Dion''s every action was too romantic, and she was touched and so filled with emotions that she wanted to pounce on her romantic boyfriend on the spot. But then, her conscience woke up and told her that she would probably do it later!! She giggled, realizing what all things her active and playful mind was imagining¡­ She blushed and bashfully looked at Dion who she just noticed was staring closely at her. "What is it?" Dion asked with a smile with the sudden pause on Rizie. She wrinkled her nose and replied, "Nothing just that this is really fun¡­" After a while, the helicopter landed back on the helipad. Rizie, caught with the happiness she was feeling, immediately pulled out the safety gears in her seat and sat on Dion''s lap. She had a very bright smile as she stared at her boyfriend. She removed the earpiece on him and cupped his face. "I really... really... enjoyed this date!" She burst before showering Dion with a trail of small kisses on his face, from forehead going down and it lasted on Dion''s lips. The pilot and the co-pilot looked at each other and did not bother to bid the lovebirds farewell before they almost jumped out from the helicopter to give the couple some privacy. Dion was caught off guard but instinctively wrapped his arms on Rizie''s waist. He was drowning with pleasure of Rizie''s lips on his, giving him her deepest kiss. He wanted to freeze the time at that moment. Slacking off from their office was worth it¡­ He should prepare a few more exciting dates like this one from now on, since he loved to see how pleased his girlfriend was. He was going crazy already, at that moment all he wanted was to scoop her in his arms and lock Rizie up into his room. But then he should follow how everything should be properly done in a traditional way. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

The couple was cuddling each other when Yera spoke, "I really envy Rizie''s adrenaline. I mean she loves thrilling things so Dion had actually prepared a lot of thrilling dates for her¡­" Xander grinned and said, "Do you want to go on thrilling dates too darling? We too can have such adventurous dates every once in a while or once a week if you want? I also want to date you¡­ Hmm how about we make a bucket list of all the things that you had missed before and wanted to try out. Let''s do it all together." Yera pursed her lips and complained, "But we can''t do it yet or do things freely yet. I hate it whenever we have to go out in disguise. I want to enjoy it without any inhibitions." "Alright then let''s just prepare our bucket list and we''ll start at it when our relationship is already announced to all¡­" Xander declared. "By the way, Dion''s mother¡­ Is an heiress of a huge empire in country V. Is Rizie aware of this fact? Anyway, I think there''s nothing to worry about, right? I believe Dion has a great and kind mom and not the type who will look down on anyone with a simple status in life¡­" Xander voiced his opinion. Yera nodded and added, "Yeah. Dion said that she is always supportive of him so it won''t matter. She will for sure like Rizie. The true problem to be honest is Rizie¡­" Her husband was actually not aware of Rizie''s problem so she told Xander about it. "Why are you telling it to me only now?? Oh gosh¡­ I should teach my brother-in-law a few techniques so he won''t get dumped soon¡­" Xander burst out those words that made Yera raised her eyebrows. "Dion is doing good. It might get worse if he listens to you because I''m sure he will only learn perverted moves from you," Yera stated, trying hard not to laugh. Xander pouted his lips and defended, "What? Don''t you agree that these perverted moves of your husband are the best? Look at me? I bet just the thought of leaving me causes you to suffocate like you''re getting out of air because that''s what I feel too¡­ Just the thought of you leaving me makes me feel a lack of air that very instant¡­ It feels so hard to breathe without you in my life, cause you''re the oxygen of my happiness - you keep me breathing darling..." Yera''s face cringed. "Geeez, you''re giving me goosebumps darling," Yera muttered and even showed her arms to her husband who was laughing hard, filling the mini theatre with his laughter. Yera laughed too and suddenly had the urge to kiss her husband. Her husband was right. She felt exactly the same as him, he was like oxygen supply in the ocean of life for her too - he kept sustaining the air so she could breathe¡­" ......¡­. At Shan and Ron''s Secret Place¡­. Everything went smoothly whereas Yera''s had secretly convinced some of the directors to approve the intended merger but of course there were still others who were unbending. They secured almost half of the board of directors, two more and they would be good. "We can''t find any faults or mistakes made by the remaining board of directors¡­" commented Shan. They were once again in their secret meeting place. She looked at assistant Ron who was so focussed in his laptop that he barely even touched his food. Shan''s lips partially opened as she unconsciously stared at assistant Ron''s facial feature. Nothing had changed. His face was still the same just as she remembered him except a few inconspicuous wrinkles probably due to stress, that only added to his charm and handsomeness. He was really a remarkable and a very dependable man based on her observation during those times that they were together. ''I don''t think he has a lovelife at all," she mused with a grin, hoping she was correct. Assistant Ron seemed to be a very busy person to be able to manage a lovelife because he could not even manage to eat his food in time. "Close your mouth or a fly might enter that soon," Shan heard him say all of a sudden. Shan instantly closed her mouth, not aware that it was even opened. She composed herself and hid her blushing before saying, "You should eat first. How can you work productively with an empty stomach." Assistant Ron let out a long sigh and looked at his plate. He was too occupied to even remember about his food. He looked at Shan''s plate and was shocked to see it already empty. Shan smiled and said, "I was eating while reading the doc.u.ments. It''s called multitasking¡­" She was proud for the first time thinking she managed to at least do something better than him. ''Eating while working? Is that something to be proud of?'' she silently asked herself. Assistant Ron started to eat his food. "How were things all along?" he suddenly asked before he ate a spoonful of rice. Shan looked at him a little confused. Ron chewed and swallowed his food first. "I mean how were you these past years. How''s life?" Shan gulped and wondered if Ron somehow remembered her. "Life was good. I have a great job¡­" she simply answered with a suspicious look at him. "That''s good. Hmm h-ow about your uhm ¡­ love l-ife?" Shan heard him with a hesitating tone in his voice but she was startled with that question from him. She deliberately laughed and responded, "Oh my love life is not at all great, unlike my job." "Don''t worry you''re not alone¡­" she heard assistant Ron answer with a serious face. Shan: "......?" Shan wondered how she should react to that statement... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He meticulously calculated his work and love life balance. Even when he was at work he would take time and efforts to do simple things for Rizie, like ordering her favourite snacks for a bite during the office hours, ordering takeout from her favourite restaurant, or buying coffee from her favourite coffee shop like he did this afternoon when she was really busy in managing his doc.u.ments. "Enjoy¡­" he mumbled as he dropped Rizie''s coffee on her desk followed by a wink. Rizie smiled and looked at his back while Dion walked back to his office with his own cup of coffee. "Having your Boss as your boyfriend has a benefit indeed¡­" she mumbled while she grabbed the coffee to drink, but stopped seeing a slip pasted on it and she giggled reading it. [Think of me every once in a while even if you''re busy, this will make you smile¡­] "Geeez¡­ He''s making my heart flutter," Rizie squeaked before excitedly drinking the coffee. "Ouch, it''s hot!" she burst and hit her head for being overly excited. Her attention was diverted to the calendar instead and she sighed seeing the marked date on it. Dion''s mom would arrive next week and she did not have any present in mind yet for her. Time flew really fast that a month was almost about to finish and she would soon return back to her condo unit. But that time that she stayed with Dion was more than enough for them to know each other so much better. Every day with him had been spent like a dream. While Rizie was lost in her dreams her mobile phone beeped and Rizie saw the message was from Dion. [Stop daydreaming about me¡­ That''s rude¡­] Rizie laughed and turned her head to Dion''s office where the blinds were open. She twisted her mouth seeing another wink from him. "That big bro Xander of his is surely teaching him tricks on how to make someone''s heart flutter," she whispered before focusing back on her work. Dion was a timid type of person and lately she noticed, he was becoming more shameless every passing day. Well she was not surprised at all seeing Dion''s brother-in-law would often pull him aside for a talk and she was just sure that he was coaching Dion with various styles of courting. Well, she was not complaining of course rather she was enjoying Dion''s openness though sometimes it looked awkward but was cute at the same time, since she could feel his sincerity and he was really trying his best to make a permanent place in her heart. She just hoped this time she could make everything last. After sometime it was almost time to get home. Rizie was winding up and preparing to leave, when she suddenly had an unexpected visitor. "Hmm, looks like you''re now enjoying your new line of work Miss Secretary?" Rizie heard a familiar voice that made her tilt her head to confirm if she was right. Her eyes widened seeing her brother-in-law with a grin with her sister Lyra. "Sis?!" she gasped. "Are you ready Riz? Let''s go¡­" Dion, who just came out of his office said. But paused seeing the conflicted look on Rizie''s face and then his attention was diverted at the couple looking at him and then back at Rizie with questioning eyes. Lyra raised a brow and looked at her sister. Rizie smiled and proudly introduced Dion as her boyfriend. "Your boyfriend is your Boss? Wait, we did not see anyone courting you at all!" bust out her brother-in-law. Dion on the other hand gulped at the reaction of Rizie''s sister and brother-in-law. They did not look pleased hearing the news suddenly like that. "Your brother would definitely not like it Rizie. It''s such a sudden step," Rizie''s brother-in-law added while he looked at Dion from head to toe and so did Rizie''s sister making Dion suddenly get conscious and uncomfortable. He felt like he was being peeled out alive. "Uhm, I will formally introduce him soon to the family. Please keep it up to yourself for now? It''s my fault¡­ Dion always asks me about it¡­ It''s just that ¡­ It''s me¡­" Rizie pleaded and held her sister''s hand. Lyra sighed seeing the worried expression of her little sister. She looked at her husband and said, "Let''s keep it only up to us for now. Moreover, Rizie is a grown up woman now, she can make her own decisions." Dion cleared his throat and invited the guest couple for dinner which the two gladly accepted. Dion made a special reservation in a fine dine-in restaurant. He was too nervous. Why? Because he could feel the scrutinizing gaze from the couple probing each and every action he took. "When did the two of you meet?" Rizie''s sister asked. Dion narrated the whole incident how he met Rizie. "Ohhh so you''re Mr. Handkerchief! Rizie told me about this before." Rizie''s sister burst out. Rizie on the other hand remained quiet while Dion was on the hot seat. Surprisingly, Dion was doing a great job and leaving a good impression on her sister and her meticulous brother-in-law who, among the two, asked a lot of questions including how many girlfriends Dion had! The dinner went well and the couple finally left, Dion released a long deep sigh of relief and looked at Rizie with squinted eyes. "See that? I told you that it would be best to formally meet your family first¡­" Rizie gulped and said, "Alright let''s do that soon then¡­" "Really?" Dion asked with blinking eyes. Rizie nodded with a half smile and Dion hugged her tightly. He could finally meet Rizie''s whole family. He was overwhelmed and too excited. ...¡­ At Yang Hospital Facility In Country U "How are his vitals?" Dr. Black asked the nurse monitoring the condition of patient X. "His vitals are stable Doc. His body is responding well to the new treatments we have provided him though there are still no signs of any bodily movements." the nurse answered. Dr. Black sighed. If there would still be no movements for the next few days then they would have to try out some more extreme means and high doses of certain medicines. He was sending the patient''s condition to CEO Yang everyday as instructed, "Maintain the dose of medicine. Let''s continue the medicine for three more days." After patient X was checked thoroughly, Dr. Black and all the others left his room.

Xander and Yera came with their whole group in the private room of one of the finest restaurants in the city. The meeting was very confidential and the two groups, Life Hospitals and Yang Globals, were discussing the pros and cons of the possible merger. Yera on the other hand kept a poker face since the start of the meeting seeing Dr. Yao was one of the members in Xander''s team. Her husband had already explained it to her beforehand that Dr. Yao held a vital role since she was the one responsible for the successful building project at Country V so most of the board of directors trusted the woman. Yera understood the technicalities, but what irritated her was the obvious acts of flirting with Xander the other woman was busy with. Yera did not know whether to laugh at the scene in front of her or get angry, because whenever Dr. Yao moved close to Xander, to give and explain some doc.u.ments Xander''s face would pale and he would try his best to keep his distance from her while sneaking a glance at Yera, checking if she noticed that closeless. Well¡­!! ...Of course she did!!! Xander was perspiring profusely, though it was cold inside the room. He kept cursing Rui hard because the latter was late and had not arrived at the venue until then. "With this merger we have to invest a lot more¡­ That there are advantages to it¡­ This is not profitable to us at all," mumbled Dr. Yao as she studied the doc.u.ments presented by Yera''s side. Yera sighed because Dr. Yao had a valid point. She herself thought the same. They would need a real solid presentation with conditions good enough for both sides . "Are you sure you are going to agree to this merger with such biased conditions? Because the way these conditions are put I can see -- it will definitely cause an environment of war between both groups. None of the board of directors and officers in both these chains of hospitals can be easily manipulated. We both have a few monsters who are greedy for money and power, especially power to be precise and we all are very well aware of who those members are." Dr. Yao added, staring at Xander intently, with a smirk on her face. That vixen seemed to be enjoying the conflicted look on her husband''s face. Yera was too irritated with her presence. It was so out of her character to flare up like that in public, but for some reason, Dr. Yao was getting on her nerves. She suddenly hit the table with the folder in her hand when she saw Dr. Yao touch Xander''s face as if removing something from it. Everyone in the room was shocked with that action of hers, including Xander, who suddenly stood up from his chair with an awkward expression on his face. "Why is the food not arriving yet?" Xander stuttered and was about to walk out of the room when assistant Ron murmured, "Sir, the food is about to arrive. Please take your seat and allow me to go and double check." Assistant Ron stood up from his chair that was far away from Dr. Yao so Xander deliberately took it and sat on it while he replied, "Uh yeah check it¡­" Then he timidly looked at Yera and started to talk to one of the directors at the side while grabbing the doc.u.ments from the man. "What about you. Tell me your opinion¡­" Xander mumbled, trying to ease the tension. Meanwhile everyone inside the room shot meaningful glances at each other because everyone could feel that something was really fishy but because no one had actually confirmed anything about their relationship, so they could only silently speculate. Dr. Yao raised her eyebrows and shifted her gaze to Yera. "Yang Globals group is still number one when it comes to hospitals. We have a higher profit margin, better facilities and more number of rooms of all types including ICUs and ICCUs. Our doctors are the best in town and also brought from abroad, and above all we have a very good and clean reputation in the market compared to yours! So now tell me, what should make us collaborate or merge with you? With such average terms why would Yang Globals accept your proposal? Why are you that desperate to latch on Yang Globals¡­?" "Dr. Yao!" Xander scolded. Yera looked at Xander and signaled him that it was fine. She smiled confidently while looking straight into Dr. Yao''s eyes and replied, "It''s natural to have this merger done since I want my husband''s company and mine to be united like our personal relationship." Everyone''s jaws in the room dropped and they started looking at Yera with their mouth agape, except for Dr. Yao who just laughed at it. She seemed not to be surprised at all. "Well now it''s more firm then. The merger is for personal reasons, but I think it will be more difficult because of that reason. You see, we can convince our board of directors since at Yang Globals they all behave like baby alligators unlike the directors of the Life Hospitals group¡­ who seems to be more like untamed and aggressive alligators. So goodluck to you if you succeed¡­" Dr. Yao mocked with a laugh. The meals finally arrived and Dr. Yao''s demeanor suddenly became gloomy as soon as she saw the waitress who came inside to serve the food. Yera creased her brows when she noticed the quick change in Dr. Yao''s expression, from gloomy into a bright smile as she stood up and walked in Xander''s direction. "What''s wrong with her?" Shan, who was sitting beside Yera, grumbled as she noticed Dr. Yao suddenly tipped on Xander''s table causing Xander''s drink to spill all over herself, that was just served by the waitress. "What did I just do? I am so sorry Dr. CEO I spilled your drink by mistake. And I even messed up my dress?" They heard Dr. Yao mumbled before she smiled at the waitress and asked, "Can you please show me the restroom outside and help me to fix my dress?" But what shocked Yera was that Dr. Yao was sitting on her husband''s lap after she tripped! She shot daggers through her eyes towards the two of them and was so flared up that she rose up from her chair and hissed at the waitress, "What are you waiting for? Go and pull that woman up and help her fix her freaking dress!" The waitress quickly nodded and helped Dr. Yao who even winked at her and murmured, "Thanks¡­" "Is she crazy?" Shan couldn''t help but burst out seeing how Dr. Yao winked at her Chairwoman who was now burning red with irritation. It was the first time she had seen the Chairwoman, who was sarcastic at most of the time, annoyed and angry. Meanwhile, Xander bit his lip. ''Am I in trouble now?'' he asked himself, seeing how deep red his wife looked at that moment. Seeing his wife jealous was somewhat refreshing but terrorizing at the same time. He looked at the door from where Dr. Yao went out and then looked at the spilled drink the other waitress was now cleaning. He couldn''t point out exactly what but he had noticed something unusual with Dr. Yao''s movement, the spilling of the drink¡­ It looked like she intentionally did this but why? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Though they would spend most of their time together even when Rizie shifts in her own condo, he was already used to having Rizie with him almost twenty four seven. He looked at the time and sighed. It was late and she must have slept by now. He got startled when his door suddenly opened and he saw Rizie like a flash entering in his room with a paper bag in her hands. Rizie''s hand was on her chest as if she was calming the rigid palpitations. "Woaw! I thought sis would catch me! Oh gosh I feel like my heart would burst!" Rizie blurted as she slumped herself on the carpeted floor and comfortably rested her back on Dion''s bedside. "Come here. Let''s have a drink together.. Come and sit beside me, let''s have a drink on my last day in this mansion, consider it my farewell party." Rizie casually instructed as she opened a canned beer and some snacks she brought. "What do you mean farewell party? We will still see each other everyday¡­ Who knows I might stay at your place whenever it would be too late to come home?" Dion mumbled as he sat down on the floor and grabbed the beer from Rizie. "Hmm farewell from your mansion?" Rizie said, smiling. Dion pursed his lips and mused, ''Farewell? No way woman¡­ You will absolutely come back here soon and might as well stay here forever, as my wife.'' Because that was what Dion intended to do. He was now starting to build things with Rizie by his side like building a family of his own and seeing Rizie to be his better half. "Are you packed already?" Dion asked. "Yup¡­ By the way, your mom will arrive soon. I wanted to give her something but I can''t think of anything that she would particularly like." Rizie asked. Dion turned his head and looked at Rizie. He rested his head on the bed and uttered, "My mom is not picky at all with things. Just give her anything you like and it will do. You actually don''t need to bother yourself with this, because seeing me smile whenever I''m with you is more worthy than any gift she will get from you. Trust me¡­" Rizie laughed and shook her head while she drank her beer. "What? You don''t believe me?" Dion lifted his head with a creased forehead as he watched Rizie laugh. "Of course I believe you¡­ It''s just that lately you have started talking too much, even more than me sometimes¡­" she remarked. "Why? You don''t like it? Do you prefer the silent me?" Dion asked with an awkward smile. He was actually liking it and was happy about this,to be more expressive and able to say his own thoughts to her, rather than being quiet. But his changed self was active whenever he was with Rizie only because he was still the silent type of person with others. Dion felt Rizie''s warm palm touching his face while she said, "Nah I like it¡­ it doesn''t matter whatever it is... I like everything you do¡­" Dion, hearing that, felt the urge to pull Rizie close to him by grabbing her nape and then slowly reaching out the gap in between to seal her lips with his. All he wanted was to give a gentle peck only on his girlfriend''s lips but seeing Rizie with her closed eyes and parted lips, Dion couldn''t help but bend down for another kiss but this time it was deeper and his tongue slid inside of her mouth savoring the taste of alcohol and her sweetness. He should stop or else he knew it would be hard to do so or he would be in pain later but his body was once again refusing to listen to his head. It was hard to pull off from her, especially when Rizie was reciprocating the kiss with the same intensity as his. It felt so good that he did not want it to end, her body pressed against his, the warmth oozing out of their union, her mesmerizing scent... everything was asking for more. Dion had never felt something like this before, only with Rizie''s presence he ought to lose his mind!. His hands moved, caressing Rizie''s body and touching her chest with her sleepwear on. He could feel it in his palm while he cupped one mound of hers in his hand as if he was measuring how it would fit his palm. He heard Rizie''s soft little m.o.a.ns just as he cupped his b.r.e.a.s.t and that voice almost drove him mad. She was not wearing her bra beneath her sleepwear shirt so he could also feel how hard Rizie''s peaks were. Dion grabbed the loose shirt and unconsciously pulled it up removing it from her body. Rizie''s eyes widened as she realized that her upper body was now n.a.k.e.d before Dion and she immediately covered herself with her arms. Dion was filled with desire and he instantly covered her mouth once more with his, making Rizie drown in his warmth, taking her uneasiness away. While he kissed her passionately, his hands once again moved to where it wanted to land. He gently pulled Rizie''s arms protecting her bare chests. Then gently pushed her to lie down on the carpet without leaving her lips unattended. His other hand was on Rizie''s head making sure she laid comfortably on the carpeted floor. His kiss trailed down on Rizie''s jawline, down on her neck where he made sure to mark her with hickeys before going further to her collarbones and then going down to her chest. Rizie suddenly grabbed his hair as her body arched when he started to playfully lick on one of her hard n.i.p.p.l.es. Dion took the opportunity to have it inside his mouth. He was as hard as rock while the sensation heightened because of Rizie''s m.o.a.ning while he continuously sucked and fed on her n.i.p.p.l.es alternately. Dion cursed because he knew he should stop already or else he would not be able to stop anymore. ''Stop now! Stop!'' His head was screaming already, scolding himself that he should control himself because they were not married yet. He wanted to get married with her before owning Rizie fully. Meanwhile, Rizie pulled her brows together when Dion suddenly stopped. ''Wait¡­ What''s going on? Why did he stop?'' she complained inside feeling Dion''s head resting in her chest while embracing her body. Rizie wanted to ask what happened but she was too shy to do so. She felt Dion inhaled and exhaled several times as if calming himself down. Then she heard him whisper, "I''m sorry I almost lost it. I should control myself more next time¡­" ''I really don''t mind¡­'' Rizie silently answered with her face burning in embarrassment for thinking such a thought. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Where have you been!" He roared as he sat on the couch with crossed arms and legs. Rui laughed seeing the dark circles under Xander''s eyes. "Looks like our Dr. CEO slept on the floor? Couch? Or perhaps in the guest room?" Rui teased as he walked to sit on the opposite couch to face Xander. Xander twisted his mouth and threw the seat pillow on his friend''s face which the latter caught in time. "What?" Rui exclaimed laughing. "It''s all your fault! I told you to make sure that you''re there to control Candice or make an excuse so she won''t be present¡­ What is wrong with you?" Xander bubbled with flaring nostrils. He could not believe that his friend could not handle a single woman. Rui blew air on his forehead. Actually he was with Candice yesterday and was planning to lock her in a room and reach for the meeting, but something happened and he ended up to be the one who got locked up instead of that vixen. She was too quick witted and fast. He would not dare to tell his dear friend what had happened or else he would become the laughing stock. Rui coughed a bit to clear his throat before he said, "Ahm my stomach¡­ I suddenly got an upset stomach¡­" Xander raised an eyebrow as if analyzing if he would even believe that alibi. "Anyway¡­ How long is your punishment this time? About a month?" Rui changed the topic and bantered. Xander almost erased his face by washing it by his palm several times. "It''s so unfair when it''s not even my fault? Did she not see how much I tried to avoid her? I mean I kept my distance! Why am I being punished when I''m not even guilty of anything!" Xander cried. Rui laughed and said, "Why are you complaining to me and not filing your complaints to your wife?" He knew very well Xander was a completely henpecked husband so his friend would not dare complain but would try to woo and coax his wife. "By the way, have you seen the reports about the triad?" Xander suddenly asked because it had a connection with that cyclone tattoo roaming around after the accident they encountered at the yacht. Rui sighed and explained, "Country V is in riots right now and those three groups are at war. I have some information as of now, but I need a firm confirmation to make sure that it was reliable. Just make sure to tighten the security around you, Yera and even Dion. So far it''s Yera who seems to be the target but then we''ll never know¡­" Xander sighed¡­ There was nothing at all that could point a finger towards the belief that he was a target except for the fact that the targets were now widened to people close to Yera. The trial of the Go''s would soon be completed and the verdict would be out for the Go''s. Nothing proved their involvement in Yera''s abduction which meant there was another party involved in it. Meanwhile, they heard knocking on Rui''s door and Xander suddenly panicked trying to hide himself at the thought that it could be Dr. Yao. Rui was laughing hard seeing that over reaction of his friend. So he said, "Come in!" knowing the person who was knocking was. "What?" Xander screamed looking at each corner and ran inside the restroom of Rui. Rui on the other hand was enjoying the funny outbursts of his friend. "Oh good morning Dr. Yao how can I help you?" Rui loudly asked while he gestured to Dion, who had an appointment with him, that moment to remain quiet and sat on the couch. Dion though a bit confused on what was going on followed Dr. Dee''s signal with a creased forehead as he looked around the room. "Dr. Yao would you like some tea?" Rui asked, trying to hide his laughter. "Me?" Dion gestured, pointing his finger on himself. Rui nodded and signaled Dion to stay quiet. Rui wondered how long Xander would stay hidden. "What''s going on?" Dion whispered as Dr. Dee sat in front of him. He had not told Dr. Rui yet about the truth of the handkerchief thing that it was Rizie. Today, he had a session with him and he planned to tell him that fact too. Rui pointed his finger towards the restroom and murmured, "Your brother in law is hiding in there. He''s paranoid with the thought that it''s Dr. Yao who knocked¡­ Let''s prank him for a while¡­" Dion twitched his mouth and commented, "Why is he hiding like that and don''t just walk out of your room in case it was Dr. Yao who entered and not me?" "Precisely¡­ That''s how traumatic he could have been whenever seeing Dr. Yao. You know your sister makes him a celebate whenever Dr. Yao is involved¡­" Rui whispered at Dion''s ear. Meanwhile Xander cursed because he forgot his mobile phone on Rui''s table. "What''s keeping them so long? Why can''t he just shoo that woman away?" Xander complained as he felt tired from standing so he covered the toilet bowl and sat on it. ''How come he could not hear any sound or chatting now?'' he mused as he stood up and pinned his ear on the door. He almost fell on the ground when the door was suddenly pulled open from outside. Rui was laughing while Dion who held the door knob shook his head with a pitied look at Xander. "What the heck? Where is she? Is she gone now?" Xander asked in a row looking at every corner. He then noticed that smirk on Rui''s face. "You!!!" Xander burst out, realizing Rui played a prank at him. "You two¡­ How old are you?" Dion mumbled seeing the two men who were chasing each other raised their eyebrows. "We are both old enough to coach you things about life and lovelife¡­" Xander proudly answered leaving Dion scratching his head because it was true that all he did for Rizie to make her smile and fall for him deep was a per advise by his brother-in-law. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dr. Yao would not definitely spread any rumors since it would cause a backlash to her name given that she was in scandal with her and Xander. She already set out a schedule for the board meeting in three days time, having that fifty fifty votes in their favor. Somehow, she was hopeful that Lyndon would cast his vote in the favour of the intended merger and they would definitely win. Lyndon would be the final key for it¡­ The verdict in the case of her family''s murder would be announced by next week. Yera was somehow at ease that she could finally go out in the open with Xander but then her face soured when she recalled that scene of Dr. Yao who sat comfortably on her husband''s lap. If no one else was present, she might as well have pulled the hair of that woman. She was in deep thoughts when her mobile phone rang and it was Rui who invited her to have lunch out together with the rest of the group. Yera accepted the invitation. Dion and Rizie were already there and of course her husband who was with Rui in the hospital. After lunch, they started chatting and suddenly Rui apologized to her. "Why?" she asked. "About Dr. Yao. I heard Xander was being punished because of her." Rui explained. Yera''s eyebrows lifted up while she looked at her husband with squinted eyes. Her husband even had a comrade. ''Did you think I will still not kick you out of bed even though you have asked Rui to convince me?'' Yera silently delivered her message with her gaze to her husband. "To be honest it was me who wanted Dr. Yao to stay at Yang Globals group. Xander wanted to kick her out in the very beginning, but I am investigating something about her so I convinced Xander to keep her around. Keeping your enemy closer is better¡­" Rui explained. "Enemy? Enemy of bro Xander?" Rizie could not help but interrupt. "No! No!" Xander quickly defended and elbowed Rui. "Complete your explanation will you or they will misinterpret!" Xander exclaimed. Rui twisted his mouth as he looked at Xander then quickly smiled as he turned his gaze back at Yera. "I''m investigating her¡­" Rui started then he elaborated everything to Yera regarding the cases he encountered with Dr. Yao. "Why does it sound off to me¡­ I mean¡­ It''s more like you''re stalking her and doesn''t it sound like you''re enjoying it?" Dion commented with collided eyebrows, directly looking at Rui. "What are you saying? Am I nuts? That woman is crazy. Do you know how scary she is? I saw her snapping a person''s neck at country V!" Rui burst in horror as the mere mention of that woman replayed that entire scene before him. "You said it yourself¡­ You were drunk at that time besides there''s no body found. Who knows if you''re just imagining things¡­" Dion added. "Anyway what matters is that my wife will be clear about why Dr. Yao is still at our facilities and is given importance as well. It''s because of Rui¡­" Xander interrupted with pouted lips, hoping his wife would let everything slide this time. He missed the ovulation day again because of that incident! His father would surely kill him because there was still no good news for him. No wonder he could not bake his little Xander and little Yera yet, because he often missed the fertility days of his wife. Like how he missed it this time also! But today he could try a follow up¡­ Who knows, it could be a ringless shot! Xander looked at his wife with begging eyes, hoping she would be convinced with Rui''s explanation and would no longer get irritated whenever Dr. Yao got involved in the picture with him! Yera on the other hand had her trademark expressionless face for her husband. After lunch, everyone headed back to their designated work while Xander asked his wife to accompany him to a tennis game because he recalled that tennis was one of the sports his wife wanted to try and learn. "I will teach you how to play tennis¡­ I have some free time for next few days¡­" Xander murmured inside the car. He knew Yera''s schedule and she could take free time for a few days to learn tennis too. "Alright," Yera simply answered. Then she added, "I have to get clothes¡­" "That''s okay I already bought clothes of your size appropriate for playing tennis¡­" Xander commented. They went directly to Yang mansion since Xander had a private indoor tennis court there. He was grinning as he waited for his wife to get changed. "Come here¡­ I will teach you how to hit the ball¡­ It''s a warm-up..." he started as he played an automated machine that would keep throwing balls for Yera to hit. Xander was very hands on, never left his wife at all, making sure their bodies brushed seductively together every now and then as he taught her. Yera on the other hand was getting destructive with those touches that she complained, "Stop that! How can I focus if you keep giving me goosebumps¡­" Xander laughed at it and whispered, "This sport is exhausting don''t you agree?" Yera ignored him and deliberately took a step away from her husband. "Don''t disturb me¡­" Yera grunted. ''I''m gonna hit these balls having your face and that Dr. Yao plastered on it!'' Yera mused as she started hitting the balls coming out of the machine. One of the maids entered the room and said to Xander, "Sir, the warm water has been prepared in the bathtub in your room¡­" Xander nodded and dismissed the maid with a playful grin on his face. "Go darling!!! Sweating is good for the body. Tennis is a challenging sport and it takes time to practice. You''re doing great! HIt hard and run for the balls!" Xander cheered with an evil grin. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She seemed to be enjoying hitting the balls while Xander kept looking at his wrist watch every now and then. He had successfully coaxed his wife to get exhausted so that he could perform his magical relaxing massage later to her because it was always effective in melting the ice between them, whenever his wife was in a bad mood. "Darling¡­ That''s enough for now¡­ You''re sweating too much already¡­ Rest for now¡­" Xander commented while he walked to turn off the machine. Yera was panting hard. It was really exhausting but she had enjoyed it thoroughly. She slumped her tired body on the ground while looking at the ceiling¡­ There she could visualise the faces of Juliet and Roy Go¡­ She wondered when she would be able to smack the face of the one responsible for her abduction and killing¡­ The view of the ceiling was replaced by the smiling face of her husband who bent down and said, "I had the relaxing bath prepared once you''re ready." Yera pursed her lips seeing that naughty grin on her husband''s face. "Do I smell so bad already? I don''t want to take a bath¡­" she panted. Followed by a smirk as she mused, ''Endure my smelly sweat!'' She closed her eyes to try to avoid his beauty trap but was suddenly startled when she felt her body being lifted up. She opened her eyes and unconsciously reached her arms to her husband''s neck who was carrying her into a bridal style. "I can walk, you know. But if you insist then show me your sincerity and carry me all the way up to our room. Agree? Sogo ahead if you agree." she challengingly mumbled. The tennis area was meters away from the mansion plus he would need to go climb up the stairs to reach their room in the Yang mansion. Xander gave her his trademark handsome and roguish smile before he said, "I know you feel lazy to even walk yourself to the room right now. You''re so weightless anyway and it''s only a piece of cake.." Yera smirked and added, "Alright, I will let you have your way with me if we reach the room before my count of 100¡­" She was screaming and laughing at the same time when Xander rushed their way to the mansion, not minding the helpers of Yang Mansion who were looking at them as they passed by them. She hurried the counting¡­"One, two, three¡­" "Can''t you slow down a bit darling?" Xander was stammering as he almost ran but paused suddenly and moved Yera in his lap, his gestures made Yera scream loudly as he had moved her and carried her like a sack of grain on his shoulder. Meanwhile, Senior Yang also saw the couple having fun, from where he was sitting in the veranda, and he immediately instructed all his staff, "Make sure to keep out of the way of these two¡­" Senior Yang was grinning as he watched his children having a good time. "By the way, tell the chef to cook my daughter''s favorite dish for dinner tonight. Ask him to also make something healthy that can boost fertility." He was very happy today because his son and daughter-in-law had visited him. "Eighty, eighty one, eighty two¡­" Yera slowly counted seeing how her husband was sweating and panting heavily. Then after some time she would again count faster. They looked like kids but it was refreshing and funny for everyone who watched them. Both of them were almost out of breath, Yera from laughing and counting while Xander from running. As soon as they entered the room and Xander put her down, Yera clung onto her husband''s neck and tiptoed to shower him with kisses. Xander''s hand moved in undressing her real quick. The two of them did not mind how sticky they were and even how stinky they were. Yera''s hands also moved along with Xander''s, as she grabbed the hem of her husband''s shirt and pulled it up. They were moving towards the couch while they did not release each other''s lips. Xander gently pushed Yera on the couch and removed all the remaining undergarments she had and then removed his afterwards. Yera moved and pushed him so he would end up beneath her. "The week is not over yet right?" She whispered in between the kissing. What she meant was supposed to be the week where she would be on top. Xander deliberately nodded with his misty eyes. He stopped moving and gladly let his wife lead the way. After some time, the couple ended up laying down with bodies still entangled with each other on the big sofa. Both were breathless. "We stink¡­" Yera commented with a grin. She felt so sticky. "A warm bath would be relaxing and perfect. It''s already been prepared." Xander commented while he gently moved. During the bath, her husband was so thoughtful to give her his relaxing special massage that felt really good to Yera and her body reacted just as Xander had thought it would and of course, as expected, it didn''t end up as a massage only. Senior Yang''s smiles were ear to ear as the couple joined him for dinner. He was always grateful seeing the two looking very happy and so much in love with each other. ''Hon, you are seeing how happy your son is right?'' He mused, hoping his wife could witness it wherever she was. "Have you two decided on the date for the wedding ceremony?" Senior Yang asked. Yera smiled and answered, "Yes father, I will announce it at the company''s party for Dion¡­" Senior Yang nodded. Then he couldn''t help but mused, ''I hope I hear another announcement about my grandchild coming.'' He did not dare voice it out because he did not want to pressure the two especially now they had a lot of plans going on in the succeeding days. "By the way dad, Dion''s mother is coming over¡­ Yera is thinking if you can help in making her stay worthwhile since you''re good at handling foreign visitors. You see the timing of her arrival is a bit off and everyone would be busy during those days, even Dion and Rizie, so I''m sure she will get bored by just staying inside Han''s mansion by herself most of her days¡­" Xander suggested although Dion and Yera would of course find time to spend with her but still it could get boring with her wee hours. "No problem¡­" Senior Yang winked at Yera. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She decided to return the shoes this time since meeting assistant Ron like this would soon end with all problems of merger being solved. Too bad what they did together was all purely related to work. It would have been better if they could meet and go out like good friends to know each other more. She had high regards for assistant Ron and to be honest she wanted to know him better or to put it simply she was interested in him but to her dismay assistant Ron''s world seemed to revolve only around work. She entered the private room and as usual, assistant Ron was already present there, he had arrived earlier than her. In fact he was always the first one to arrive. "You''re here¡­ Sit¡­" assistant Ron murmured without looking at her. Shan shook her head and wondered if a person like him had ever had a girlfriend in his life. Shan sat down and handed the paper bag to assistant Ron over the table. "Here. I want to return this to you¡­" Assistant Ron put down the doc.u.ments in his hand and checked the paper bag. "I see you kept my shoes for so long¡­ I thought you would have put them in a trash can by now¡­" he murmured as he inspected the shoes then he grinned and commented, "It''s still the same as I last remember. I never knew that these types of shoes would last that long." Shan''s eyes were rounded with her dropped jaw as she stared at assistant Ron in disbelief. ''He knew and remembered everything all along and did not even mention anything once?'' she mused. She suddenly felt embarrassed because she hadn''t even thanked him yet after all these years. Shan quickly stood up and slightly bowed her head and said, "Thank you so much for lending me these shoes at that time. I''m really sorry if my appreciation is a bit late¡­ I''m..." Shan did not know what to say. She heard assistant Ron laugh and said, "Please sit now Shan. That''s okay. You have returned them to me now, though I really wonder what you did with my shoes for so many years." Shan sat and with a reddened cheek smiled bashfully at assistant Ron. "I kept them and I''m indebted to you assistant Ron." Assistant Ron''s face crumpled as he mumbled, "I''m calling you Shan. How come you still call me assistant Ron. It''s the first time you have addressed me with no one around, but why do you add the word assistant before my name? Just call me Ron without our big boss around." Shan gave him a half smile and nodded in understanding. Then she timidly asked, "Since when did you recognize me? I mean it''s been years so I thought you won''t remember me at all¡­" "Who could not remember you? That day you cried so hard and was almost hysterical like it was the end of the world for you!" Ron commented with a grin and it was the first time Shan had seen him grinning. ''He looks cute when he smiles,'' she thought inwardly. Ron could not take Shan''s face and her crying out of his mind since then. He even took time to check on her every once in a while but then he became so busy and was consumed with a heavy pile of work that he did not find time to be able to go and see her again. Shan felt at ease by then and said, "Yes, that day I really felt like everything was finished, I thought I would never be able to reach for the interview, but then your shoes came at the right time and I''m really grateful about it. I thought there''s no more hope but then you showed me there''s always hope and I must not give up easily on things..." "If you''re really grateful then I believe you must show a little bit more sincerity in thanking me¡­" Ron suddenly mumbled as he picked the doc.u.ments he was holding a while ago and fixed his eyes on it. ''He''s on workaholic mode again.'' Shan silently thought with a twitched mouth before saying, "Of course I will. Tell me what you would like to have in return or perhaps I can treat you to lunch or dinner." Of course she had thought about giving back his kindness, it was just that she did not know what his preference would be. She already searched for his hobby but she did not find a single thing about the man except for the fact that he was a workaholic man. "I want to have a girlfriend¡­" Ron muttered as he flipped a page of the doc.u.ments he was reading. Shan''s ears enlarged trying to absorb the words she heard and murmured, "Huh? What is it again?" She wanted to reconfirm if she heard it right. Ron directly looked at her and said in his serious face, "I need a girlfriend¡­" Shan creased her forehead, eyebrows collided and asked, "Me?" Ron narrowed his eyes and with still an intent look as he replied, "If you are available then it will be good. Let''s date for some time and decide later if it clicks between us or not¡­" Shan could not believe what she was hearing. It was like an indecent proposal and she was really caught off guard. Her initial answer was to agree but then she silently thought, ''Wouldn''t I look like an easy person if I agreed at this instant?'' Ron seemed to read her thoughts and she heard him speak. "Don''t worry. I will not think less of you as an easy person if you agreed. To be honest, I find you attractive but then I''m not the conservative type of person and as you can see I can''t afford to give time on courtship so I would like to skip those stages of relationship. I would instead prefer to go on a date directly like let''s say for a month or two to get to know each other better and then if we click we can then get married afterwards." He straightforwardly denoted that made Shan cough, almost choking on her own saliva. Shan was staring at him with her mouth agape¡­ Wondering how she should answer the man before her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie had already left the mansion to stay back in her condo unit since Dion was completely healed now and not to mention that Dion''s mother would also arrive soon and stay at Han Ancestral Mansion. Yera could not help but comment, "She can fill that seat forever, you know¡­ All you have to do to make that happen is to marry her, but then that''s possible only if she doesn''t dump you after a month¡­" Xander pursed his lips and leaned to his wife then whispered, "Don''t be too harsh on your brother¡­" Yera ignored her husband''s words and instead said with an arched brow, "What? I''m just reminding him, besides because you are coaching him and even then if he does not succeed, you will be at fault too¡­ It would mean that you''re not effective nor efficient enough as a love guru¡­" Xander''s mouth twisted. Meanwhile Dion only grinned and said, "Don''t worry sis¡­ She won''t get away from me¡­" "Try the shotgun wedding¡­" Yera nonchalantly suggested. "Maybe it''s a good thing that you are caught by Rizie''s family doing something naughty, since they are a little conservative things can work out well in your favour! I mean it suddenly came to mind. If you two are seen together in one room by her family members, then Rizie''s family will surely ask you to take responsibility for their girl and get married to her earliest possible." "Well, as well as she is concerned, I think Rizie has deep feelings for you. She loves you dearly and cares a lot about you. It''s just that she has this psychological barrier of accepting anyone as a permanent part of her life, so maybe that''s one solution before she gets a panic attack and suddenly breaks up with you." Yera stirred her cold coffee and added, "But yes! another possibility in that scenario can be that before her family asks you to take responsibility for her, her general brother will just shoot you on the spot, seeing you took advantage of his innocent sister¡­" Xander''s face crumpled with these explosive morning ideas of his wife, though he thought it was somehow a brilliant idea if worst comes to worst -- a shotgun wedding sounded good. Meanwhile Dion was in awe¡­ He could not imagine himself to be that desperate while he unconsciously mumbled, "Shouldn''t it be the other way around¡­ Man who is often the victim for a shotgun wedding¡­" "Nah¡­ That''s definitely fake speculation, because your brother-in-law also did that to me. I''ve been in a shotgun wedding from the start." Yera confidently answered. Xander''s mouth fell open while he defended, "Darling, nothing happened between us before the wedding so how can you call it a shotgun wedding?" "It''s the same thing darling, since it was a forced marriage for me¡­" Yera stated and looked at Xander without blinking. Xander pouted his lips and snorted, "But I gave you options to choose from¡­" Yera was grinning inside looking at the sulky face of her husband. "Options that all lead me to one choice only and nothing else but to marry you¡­" she continued. She wrinkled her nose and without a word squeezed her husband''s cheeks. "So cute¡­ Anyway I may not have fallen for you at first sight but then later I ended up falling for you endlessly." Dion''s face cringed while he had goosebumps watching them both continuing their PDA, he then hurriedly finished his breakfast to escape from there. He could tolerate his brother-in-law''s cheesy lines since he was already immune to it knowing his character but hearing such words from his sister who rarely talked¡­ Urgghh¡­ Pft¡­ Dion did not bother to look at the couple''s public display of affection and immediately stood up as soon as he was done eating. "I''ll be going first¡­" he bid them goodbye before running out from the dining area. He should get Rizie here really soon so he could compete with the two of them in showing public display of affection. He laughed on his own at those silly thoughts and grabbed his mobile phone to call Rizie and check if she had safely arrived at the office. He was about to dial her number when his mobile phone rang. Dion arched his eyebrows seeing the caller ID before answering it. Dion arrived at the meeting place informed by Mr. Lua. It was all fixed suddenly, but he accepted his offer for a coffee to try his luck in convincing this shrewd man into selling some of his shares for the votes to him. Dion arrived at the meeting place and saw Mr. Lua already sitting on a chair in the cafe. He waved at him and Dion nodded then walked towards him. "Mr. Lua good morning¡­" Dion greeted him. Mr. Lua smiled back and said, "Please sit. I have already ordered your coffee..." Dion did and asked Mr. Lua how he was doing. The old man seemed to be friendly towards him asking him how he was adjusting at work. After some talking Dion got the opportunity to slide in his intention to buy some shares from Mr. Lua. "Hmm¡­ Let me think more about your offer¡­ Oh my granddaughter is here¡­" Mr. Lua with a bright smile looking at the door murmured as he waved his hand. Then he looked at Dion and said, "Is it okay if she joins us? She''s around the area and I told her to drop by here. I guess she finished earlier with her meeting than I thought." Dion smiled and said, "It''s okay. I don''t mind." Dion saw the woman''s back who directly approached Mr. Lua and gave him a cheek to cheek kiss. "Grandpa¡­ See I finished my meeting early not to keep you waiting that long." Mr. Lua laughed and responded, "I told you I will meet our COO so you don''t need to rush that meeting¡­" Mr. Lua then turned to Dion and introduced his granddaughter. "By the way, this is my granddaughter Cali." The woman finally turned around and gave Dion a warm smile as she extended her hand, "Hi¡­ Cali here. NIce to meet you¡­" Dion smiled back, and was somehow starstruck because the woman looked like a celebrity¡­ He extended his hand and said, "Dion¡­ Nice to meet you." "Dear, have coffee with us¡­ I''m sure you two will get along very well because Mr. Han here is originally from country V too." declared Mr. Lua. "Really?" Cali excitedly burst out with an enthusiastic smile on her face. Mr. Lua was grinning inside and was pleased with how charming his granddaughter had grown. Dion Han was not a bad prey to catch because he happened to be the only son of Liz Chen, whose family owned a fashion house and a luxury retail company. "Oh¡­ Maybe you can tour me around here while I''m on vacation." Cali requested but then she stood and excused herself because of an important call she received on her mobile phone. Mr. Lua smirked as soon as his granddaughter was away. He looked at Dion and initiated, "My granddaughter is very precious to me¡­ Seeing her enjoying the stay here in our country with your help might convince me to accept your offer¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera recalled with raised brow as Shan gave her the cheques for signature. "Oh right, I''m sorry Ma''am. I will get it now¡­" Shan who seemed to realize she forgot it quickly answered. "Shan are you alright? I can notice you do not seem to be yourself since you arrived today¡­" Yera commented and stood up to check Shan''s temperature. "I''m fine ma''am¡­. Just caught up with some personal issues and so I did not manage to sleep properly last night." Shan honestly answered. ''It is all that Ron''s fault!'' She wanted to add. She still did not feel sleepy because of last night''s incident. Because she was caught off guard and looked completely bewildered by his words, Ron had said that she did not have to give him an answer that soon and she could think about it a little more before deciding. ''How considerate of him!'' Shan scorned. "Hmm, you shouldn''t come to work and get enough sleep if that''s the case. Leave all your pending tasks with Rizie and go back home for now. And about your assistant, I think Ron has already found someone whom we can trust. Coordinate with him and get the details of the person..." Yera instructed. Seeing Shan was still out of herself, Yera added in jest, "You do know I hate it when someone is not focussed so go now before I change my mind and ask you to stay instead for double work¡­" Shan slightly bowed and apologized once again before leaving the room. Outside she gently slapped her cheeks to wake herself up. She sighed at the thought that she would have to meet assistant Ron later. She wondered if she should answer him already or should she wait a few more days before showing her interest, so it would look like she had thought very well about this. Her face blushed¡­ Ron''s offer was not that bad and was in fact very practical for both of them, it was just that she still could not believe it truly happened. She prepared her things to go home and sleep some more before meeting him because the dark circles under her eyes were too obvious and she didn''t want to look ugly in front of him. "Maybe it''s better that I play hard to get¡­" she unconsciously mumbled while grabbing the files to send to Rizie for reviewing. "Hmm¡­ playing hard to get is only effective if the man is deeply into you¡­" Shan heard the COOs voice so she immediately tilted her head. Dion smiled at her sister''s assistant and asked, "Is she inside?" Shan bashfully nodded with deep red cheeks because of embarrassment. "I''ll go in then¡­ Haha don''t mind me¡­ If the man has no history with women then playing hard to get is eventually effective just make sure not to make it long and tiring¡­" Dion advised with a wink before going inside his sister''s office. Yera on the other hand was startled with the sudden visit of her brother. "What''s the matter?" She asked in a worried tone because Dion had a conflicted expression. Just this morning they were together at home having breakfast and nothing seemed wrong. Dion heaved a long sigh before saying, "I think Mr. Lua wants me in his family¡­ For his granddaughter in particular¡­" "Hmm, that''s given. My brother is indeed a very good catch. Everyone wants you. To be honest I''ve been receiving a lot of requests about you from other families to meet their daughters or granddaughters. I''m a bit vague in answering because your relationship with Rizie is still a secret and you two are not engaged yet so technically you''re still single in their eyes even if they find out about Rizie¡­" Yera commented as she walked to sit on the adjacent couch to face Dion. "Mr. Lua would sell a part of his shares to me if I make his granddaughter happy! That''s very vague¡­ I mean maybe I can make his granddaughter happy by just merely being friends with her, right? If we have those shares then it would be a sure win for the merger. He is the last shareholder who has not rejected my offer yet." Dion explained. Yera shook her head and said, "Don''t be naive. He wants you to make her happy as a partner and not just a friend. You know that I will always support you and your happiness. Those shares are nothing. What matters is that you follow what you truly desire¡­" "Yes sis I know. I want this merger too.so.I''ll think of another way out. I heard that in the next board meeting the board of directors want to change the current organization structure by voting. I''m sure they want you out and put Lyndon as Chairman. Did you already talk to him? He was ¡­ oh wait Mr. Lua has the same amount of share¡­ could it be¡­?" Yera shrugged her shoulders and calmly said, "Yes, there''s a possibility for Mr. Lua to be projected as a candidate¡­" Dion sighed. If the Chairperson''s position would be replaced by some else, the merger would be too impossible then. Worst case scenario was their company falls into the hands of a greedy man and all the advancements his father and sister wanted for the hospital could crumble. Dion knew how important the Life Hospitals group was to his sister. It was the only thing left from the sweat of their ancestors. So leaving it on the mercy of other people would be the last thing Dion wanted to witness. After reading the journal of his father and knowing his passionate dreams through it, Dion had this burning will to continue it with his sister, who was working hard to make it happen too. "Hey¡­ Don''t think too much about it and just relax alright¡­ Your sister will take care of it and about Mr. Lua, you can be firm with regards to your lovelife and tell it to him directly¡­ Or maybe you can mention it to Rizie, who knows, she might be alarmed with that fact and suddenly chain you and lock you up?" Yera added.

It was Lyndon who wanted to discuss the upcoming board meeting. Yera told him about her plan and Lyndon was not surprised on hearing this but rather tried to convince her not to proceed with it. "Yera that merger will not happen¡­" Dion firmly declared because he knew that Yera would lose in the votes. Mr. Lua''s followers plus his shares were still at advantage than Yera and her supporters'' shares. "Please I''m begging you not to open that suggestion at this board meeting." Lyndon pleaded because it would be the hitting ground for Mr. Lua''s group, for tabling the suggestion of voting for a more capable Chairperson, once the voting for the merger failed. They would debate that she was no longer capable of leading Life Hospitals Group because of the suggestion of the merger, to which most of the directors would disagree. Yera sighed and said, "I think that merger can happen Lyndon, if you would cast your vote in favour of it. I know that it is selfish and insensitive of me to ask you this but I am hoping that you will vote for it." Yera knew that it was inappropriate to ask Lyndon because the latter was still hurt with the fact that she was already married to Xander. She could always see it in his eyes whenever he would look at her. Yera could tell that he was still hurting¡­ But it was her only hope, Lyndon''s vote¡­ The silence was disturbed by the sudden beeping of Yera''s mobile phone. It was an anonymous message that made her gasp. She tried to call the number but it was not reachable. "What''s wrong?" Lyndon asked seeing the conflicted expression on Yera''s face. "I received a message that someone knows who was responsible for what happened to me¡­ The abduction and everything¡­" Yera muttered as she dialed her husband''s number. Lyndon''s face darkened as he said, "Do you have the number? Let me see¡­ Maybe I can help¡­" "I''m sorry about this Lyndon but I want to be alone for now¡­ I will handle the matter. I will talk to you later." Yera answered with an apologetic look. Lyndon nodded and stood up to leave. He clenched his fist as he walked away from Yera''s office. He would definitely have given Yera his vote knowing that it would make her happy, but his everything depended on this¡­ and as much as he wanted to please Yera, he could not give his vote to her because if he did¡­ it would be the end for him... ...... At the COO''s office, Dion scratched his head as he contemplated whether he should follow his sister''s suggestion of telling Rizie about Cali or not. He was unsure how Rizie would react if he told her that he would be meeting Cali later that day, since he could not say no to Mr. Lua that morning. He got startled when Rizie entered with a paper bag of food packs. "What''s that? Did you cook that?" Dion asked in disbelief as he stood from his chair and walked at the receiving table. He sat on the couch and blinked several times at the meal Rizie was arranging. Rizie was grinning and said, "What''s with that look? You have to eat all of that. I sweat a lot in making sure they taste perfectly¡­" ''Like how almost perfect my boyfriend is¡­'' Rizie squealed inside. Dion gulped and looked at Rizie. "I will be out after an hour¡­ I have to assist Mr. Lua''s granddaughter ¡­" Dion gave the details of the place. Rizie picked up her tablet and logged it in Dion''s schedule with a poker face. "What''s her name? In case someone who comes looking for you asks me¡­" Dion cleared his throat and replied, "Cali Lua." He did not like the sudden silence. "Eat¡­" he heard Rizie mumble after putting the tablet down. "Maybe I should just make an alibi like suddenly having diarrhea¡­" Dion uttered, looking intently at Rizie who obviously was not in a good mood. "Why would you do that? It''s not like you two are going out on a date. You are just helping her out since it will also involve the marketing of the company¡­ Besides¡­ We have to be on the good side of Mr. Lua so why sabotage that meeting you are gonna have later? Go and work¡­" Rizie casually stated as she began to eat. "How about you accompany me?" Dion suggested. He could actually bring Rizie as his personal assistant. "No!" Rizie firmly said. ''I''m not clingy!'' She wanted to add but then it was not true because she of course would like to go with him. "I have a lot on my plate right now since Shan had suddenly left. Some of the important doc.u.ments for sis are with me for review." Rizie added because it was also true that she was loaded that time with pending works. Dion nodded as he began to eat. It was still early to tell Rizie about their speculation on Mr. Lua''s intention. Until he would not hear the word marriage from Mr. Lua himself then he would consider it invalid. After an hour, Dion already left and Rizie became restless. She looked at Cali''s profile and her face crumpled seeing how popular the woman was in social media with a lot of followers. "What the heck?!" She grunted. She did not expect that the woman was that gorgeous. She looked at the clock and cursed. She moved faster and halved her time in finishing the pending and important matters so she could follow Dion very soon at the charity event where the two of them would go. If she only saw those photos earlier, she might have said yes to Dion for that diarrhea alibi! Rizie arrived at the event and looked for Dion. She intentionally did not let Dion know that she had followed him at the meeting place. She did not know why but she actually did not want Dion to see her because it would be too embarrassing¡­ After minutes of searching, she saw Dion with Cali, both talking with other VIP guests, from afar. Rizie wanted to cry seeing how the two seemed to click as they both laughed together. She trusted Dion and she knew it was just pure business but somehow she was alarmed with the scene before her eyes that she silently mumbled, ''Maybe I should introduce him already to my family?'' Although she promised Dion that she would do so, the truth was she was still hesitating and was waiting for a month to pass, to see what would happen before she plans to introduce Dion to her family. However, the sight in front of her right now seemed to be alarming¡­ So she decided to introduce Dion to her family as soon as the board meeting completed because right now Dion was quite busy. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They had come to pick up Dion''s mother at the airport who was arriving in the afternoon. "Relax. You will like my mom for sure¡­" Dion whispered because he could feel Rizie''s uneasiness and not to mention her cold hand because of tension, he was holding. Rizie twitched her mouth and said, "It''s not about me liking her¡­ The question is if she will like me¡­" Dion laughed and said, "I already told you she will." "How about the present I bought for her?" Rizie mumbled. Dion pinched her nose and said, "You had asked me that several times already and my answer is still the same. It''s good. She will like it and she really wouldn''t mind if you bring nothing¡­" Rizie exhaled loudly, trying to release the tension out of her body. She had bought some customized accessories that she designed herself, because Dion''s mother had once mentioned in one article that she loved wearing accessories. It was so hard to think of what to give to rich people since they already have most things in the world. She was actually surprised to know how well off Dion''s mother was at country V. She found out just recently, when she tried to dig a little more about her, during her research on her in her frustration to think of a suitable present so she tracked her social media account to see what were the things she loved and liked. Rizie looked at Dion and silently uttered, ''I''m such a lucky woman right?'' And yet she still had an unexplained scary feeling deep inside her. She didn''t want to attach herself too much with things or even to a person apart from her family. She was such a coward. She had witnessed how her mom, her brother, the whole family suffered when her father passed away. She had witnessed how her big brother suffered when his first loved left him¡­ Gradually as she grew up, she started developing a mentality to leave everything in between or after a few days to avoid any attachment with them, in the end she would not be the one to get hurt and look pathetic, whether it''s a person, thing or circ.u.mstances. "What''s going on inside your head," Dion bent close to her and whispered in her ear. Rizie felt an electric wave run down her body with that simple gesture. She felt that she was becoming a pervert as time went by. That intimate moment when Dion claimed her upper body, kept replaying in her mind every now and then. "Are you alright?" Dion asked with a concerned tone seeing Rizie''s face reddened. He touched her forehead to check her temperature. "Your temperature is normal¡­ How come your face is blushing¡­" Rizie bit her lip and patted her face with her palms. "Oh it''s because I''m quite nervous¡­" she said as an excuse, trying hard to brush off those perverted scenes out of her head. The two soon came out of the car and arrived at the greeting area earlier than the arrival time of Dion''s mother. Rizie held a bouquet in her hands and she was even practicing how to greet Dion''s mother in her head. This was all new to her and it really made her nervous. She had had a few flings in the past but all her boyfriends were soon dumped by her and she had never bothered to meet any of their family, she strongly discouraged that. After a while, she noticed Dion wave with a big and bright smile on his face. She followed the direction where Dion was looking and she saw an elegant woman wearing big beautiful shades walking towards them. Her jaw dropped because no one would think that they were a mother and son pair but they looked more like siblings only. She had seen Dion''s mother in photos only and did not expect that his mother would look more younger and so much better in person. Dion''s mother ran to his son and immediately hugged him. "Oh my baby!!! Mom missed you so much¡­" Dion''s mother burst before gently pushing her son and removed her shades to have a better look at him from head to toe. "I see that you have gained more weight¡­" she mumbled while pinching Dion''s cheeks like a baby. Rizie bit her lips and what a bit startled when Dion''s mother suddenly turned her gaze at her and smiled warmly. She moved towards her and gave her a warm hug. "Hello Rizie¡­ Thank you for taking care of my son." Dion''s mother gasped. Then she slightly pushed her and looked back at her son to say, "She looks better in person as you said¡­ It''s a good thing you have her by your side. With this Dion''s mother looked back at her and said, "Thank you so much for staying beside my son. I had heard a lot about you and I''m really glad I personally met you finally¡­" "Thank you Madame Chen¡­" "Stop!" burst out Dion''s mother in horror. "Call me Mom Liz please¡­." Rizie gave her the sweetest smile her lips could and nodded while she shyly whispered, "Thank you Mom Liz." Rizie timidly handed the bouquet of flowers to Dion''s mother. "Oh that''s so sweet of you. Thank you¡­" Dion was grinning seeing how bashful and prim and proper his vulgar girlfriend turned into with his mom in front of her. ''She''s so cute!'' Dion mused before he led the two ladies to their car while he pulled her mother''s cart. Rizie immediately felt at ease with Dion''s mother who was very outspoken and easy to get along with. She was too cool for a mother that no wonder Dion grew up so well even without a father. "Hmm, you two don''t worry too much about me and do your usual things. I understand you will be all busy at this time¡­ I can manage on my own and besides it''s not my first time in your country¡­" Dion''s mother assured them when they were already inside the car. "Don''t worry mom, you will enjoy your stay in here. Brother-in-law already has your itinerary arranged with his father. He will tour you around the city whenever you''re free." Dion answered. "Oh, isn''t that a hassle for him? I really can manage my son. But it was really nice and thoughtful of your brother-in-law. I can''t wait to meet the rest of the family who had accepted you as one of theirs." Dion''s mom gladly stated. She was glad they had accepted Dion with arms wide open and her son definitely looked so happy and blissful. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She also invited her father-in-law to join them for an outdoor dinner at Han''s Ancestral Mansion. "Did you ask Dion if his mother had already arrived?" Yera asked while picking up a dress to wear inside her walk-in closet. She was in her robe and just got a quick shower after arriving from the hospital when Xander entered to help her choose, according to him. Xander, who was sitting on a chair while watching his wife choosing various dresses, looked at his wrist watch. "Hmm, darling it''s still early. I doubt her plane had landed yet. You''re too excited. How about you change now into those dresses and let me help you decide which is better?" "Okay," Yera responded. She removed her bathrobe and quickly slipped in one of the dresses. Then she looked at Xander and asked, "How about this?" Xander narrowed his eyes and mumbled in his hoarse voice, "Too pale¡­ The color¡­" He gulped when Yera turned around and removed it. His wife was n.a.k.e.d before his eyes. ''How come she was so bold in front of him!'' he mused as his body was getting aroused. His darling wife did not even wear her underwear first before trying the outfit. ''Really¡­ Too bold.'' Xander silently thought while grinning as he controlled himself from attacking her. "How about this?" Yera asked with a smile. She too was grinning inside seeing the rising and non-controllable desire on her husband''s face. She intentionally tried the dresses with nothing at all to see how long it would take for her husband to peel off his mask of self control¡­ "Come here," she heard her husband huskily instructed, "Yera turned around and walked towards her husband who suddenly pulled her to sit on his lap. "How come you''re so vulgar in teasing your husband?" Xander whispered in her ear followed by a lick on her earlobe. "That tickles¡­" she said giggling. She felt her husband licked on her neck next using his playful tongue as he unzipped her dress, letting it fall on her waist so he could gain more access to her bare chest. "Yera gasped and murmured, "Teasing you? I''m just trying to fit my clothes and it''s you who wanted to watch." She m.o.a.ned as Xander sucked on one of her n.i.p.p.l.es making her body whimper and ached for more as she felt his hand on her h.i.p.s slowly pushing the lower hem of her dress up. Yera could feel his hard member underneath and she unconsciously rubbed her flower on him, making her husband groan in enjoyment. Yera slightly moved her buttocks up as her husband removed his boxers short. She kissed his lips, sucking his upper and lower lips alternately while she positioned her opening onto his member. She gently covered it with hers and began to move while her husband slowly pulled himself from her kiss to lick and suck her hard niples aternately while his other hand would gently massag, squeeze the other or played on her hard peak with his fingers, gently pinching it, making Yera cried with a mixture of pain and pleasure. She was riding on top of him, not minding the sound of the chair as she moved up and down or back and forth at a faster pace. She could feel her husband''s member inside of her filling her as he met her with the same pace, thrusting as deep as he could. The walk-in closet was filled with pleasurable cries as the couple reached their climax. .... Dion''s mother finally arrived at the mansion and after some introduction and small talks, Yera let her rest for a while before dinner. Senior Yang arrived early and was glad he was invited for the said dinner. "I heard about your mother and Xander already told me to help you guys in making her stay here worthwhile so don''t worry. This old man will be at your service and won''t let you down¡­." Senior Yang boasted as soon as he sat on his chair. Dion smiled and stood up as soon as his mom who was fetched by Rizie arrived at the dining place in the garden. He introduced his mother to Senior Yang who got startled when Dion''s mother hugged him and gave him a cheek to cheek kiss. "It''s nice to meet you¡­ Please call me Liz. I will call you James since you look too young and handsome to be called Senior¡­" Dion''s mother nonchalantly commented. Xander wanted to laugh out loud, seeing how his father was caught off guard. Dion''s mother happened to be gifted with naturally flowery tongue like his father and if he would rate the two based on his experience just a while ago in meeting her, he would say, Dion''s mother would win with a slam against his father. Senior Yang who managed to get back to his track smiled back and sat on his chair. As the evening went by, Dion''s mother ruled most of the talking that made Senior Yang whisper into his son''s ear, "Are you sure she will still need any assistance during her stay here? Because the way I see it, she could blend well on her own." Xander grinned and teased, "You just met a match dad¡­ how come you seem to cut off your tongue..." Meanwhile, Dion''s mother, with a glass of wine raised, looked at Senior Yang with a playful smile. Then she elbowed her son sitting beside her and whispered, "Son, is it too late already to give you a father?" Dion''s eyes followed the direction where his mother was eyeing and he almost choked on his wine. "Mom!" he exclaimed. Liz laughed and murmured, "What? Am I too old for it already?" Dion shook his head and replied, "Nah¡­ It''s just so sudden. I mean you two have just met¡­ And I heard Senior Yang had swore not to have another wife again¡­" "Hmm. I think it''s love at first sight for me. Funny¡­ How come I experienced it too late? Anyway we will see what will happen in the next few days¡­" Dion drank his remaining wine in one gulp. His mother, when she fixed herself on a goal, she would not stop until she succeeded. ''Poor Senior Yang,'' he mused because he was sure that his mother would soon bug the old man upto her heart''s content. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She tried to talk to Lyndon one last time yesterday but his answer was firm about not supporting her with her plan, instead he kept on pursuing her not to table the intended merger proposal in the board meeting the next day. "Thank you everyone for this help. I think I owe you all a treat for helping me out with such a perfect presentation. But of course everyone will also receive an incentive this month for this extra effort regardless of the result of the board meeting tomorrow. We really appreciate everyone''s effort and for keeping it confidential." Yera stated that made the group cheer because later they could party to their heart''s content. Rizie on the other hand pursed her lips because she could not have a solo time with Dion later. She had yet not mentioned to Dion her intention of finally introducing him to her family, not to add that she stalked him at the charity event. Well, she better erase the charity event memory completely because it was too embarrassing to mention in front of him. So far, for her satisfaction, Dion''s schedules were cleared without any more meetings with Cali Lua. She looked at Dion and inwardly thought, ''Will he tell me in case he happens to meet her out of office hours?'' She sighed because she was itching to ask Dion more about the woman but she was suppressing herself so as to not look too clingy. "Also, would you mind if we have a dinner treat together with the Yang Global''s team you worked on with?" Yera suddenly asked. Xander suggested a joint treat for both their employees involved in this confidential project since they had noticed that everyone did get along well. "Chairwoman, that would be great. We don''t mind at all. To be honest, I believe most of us here would like to agree to the same. Right guys?" Shan excitedly answered because it would give her more time to be with Ron, her now official boyfriend. She squealed inwardly as she recalled how she timidly agreed to his proposal. They had not had their first date yet but meeting in a gathering like this where she would have a chance to be close to him would be exciting and fun enough for her. "Yes we agree¡­" all in the room responded. Yera messaged her husband and informed him that her team loved his suggestion. Then she again sent another text message saying, ''Don''t worry about Dr. Yao joining¡­ I really don''t mind and I will handle her myself.'' After office hours, everyone hurried to the meeting place. It was a private dining restaurant and bar with karaoke and other indoor activities that was exclusively hired for the whole night for Yera and Xander''s team. The dinner was sumptuous and everyone was having a good time with ample alcoholic drinks of various types, not to mention the loud music to which everyone could sing and dance without inhibitions because both Bosses even encouraged them to do so and wanted to make sure that everyone enjoyed to their heart''s content. As expected, Dr. Yao was also there. Yera did not know how to react with how awkward they looked like at the round couch with a table separated from other employees where she sat with her husband, Dion with Rizie and Rui with Dr. Yao. Rui did not spare a single moment in guarding Dr. Yao to stay put beside him. "When will you stop annoying me?" Yera heard Dr. Yao hissed at Rui. ''This is fun¡­'' she thought, seeing how crumpled Dr. Yao''s face was as she stood up because Rui also did the same. "Don''t tell me you will follow me inside the restroom too?" Dr. Yao snarled with a raised brow. "Why not? Go now and I''ll wait outside¡­ Haha¡­ Like did you expect me to say that? Of course not¡­ I will go to the restroom too to pee, can''t I?" Rui casually replied. Dr. Yao smirked and sat. ""I changed my mind then I will just stay here. You go first." Rui also sat down and said, "I changed my mind too¡­" Dion and Rizie both talked with their eyes and agreed how weird the both of them behaved. Frustrated by their weirdness, Dion took Rizie for a duet at the karaoke as soon as it was vacant¡­ The place was good because there were a lot of things to do inside, including roulette, darts and even billiards as one enjoyed various alcoholic drinks. Dr. Yao, it seemed, had enough of being watched by Rui, and irritated, she stood up without saying a word while Rui followed. Yera was left alone then with her husband and the two discussed the update on the anonymous text message Yera previously received. "Ralf is still tracing that number¡­ The Go''s were really cleared this time around. Even Jam¡­ So the person who was behind your abduction is confirmed to be another party. How about Lyndon¡­ I mean didn''t you observe his reaction when you mentioned the message?" Yera sighed and shook her head. "Lyndon only reacted how he was supposed to react¡­" she simply answered. It was almost midnight and everyone had already left. Xander and Yera made sure that their employees would be home safely since everyone was drunk so they had assigned a service to bring everyone home. Yera and Xander were the only ones left as they waited outside at the side of the road waiting for their driver when Xander noticed a motorcycle rushing towards them, blowing horns several times with blinking lights that made Xander to pull Yera back inside the resto bar not far from the road. Xander suddenly pulled Yera and ran because the resto bar was already closed to go back inside. The road was clear and no one was around except for his security team who was a bit far to come to their aid because the motorcycle was fast and seemed to be after them. He only stopped when the motorcycle stopped honking and passed by them. His security team was already with them and Xander shouted, "Follow that motorcycle!" one of the team went back inside the car and followed the motorcycle while Ralf stayed with Xander. He was panting hard and checked Yera who was looking behind towards the resto bar. They almost ran a very far distance from it. But what happened next shocked Yera to her core. A truck hit the spot where she and Xander were standing earlier, causing an explosion as it hit the entire resto bar. "Oh my God!!!" Yera gasped in terror. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They were in his car on the way to her home. She cleared her throat and sighed because all throughout the party, all she did was to sneak glances at him. But, to her surprise, she was not the only one doing so, because Ron seemed to be doing the same since their eyes met every now and then although they sat in different groups. Lost in her own thoughts, Shan was suddenly awoken by the ringing of Ron''s mobile phone. He immediately picked it up and answered it. "There is an explosion. Both Boss and Madame are fine. There were no casualties except for one of our men who followed an unknown person on a motorcycle. Take care of the media¡­" Ralf briefed and the call ended. Ron suddenly stopped the car and looked at her. "I don''t want to leave you here behind. Is it okay if you come with me while I finish my work? You can lie down in the back seat and take a nap. There''s a comforter and pillow there as well and the seat had been customized to be a makeshift bed. Come here and transfer here." Ron oriented as he arranged the seat on the back. "Alright. Don''t mind me and I''ll rest and be comfortable here¡­" Shan said as she comfortably lay down. She just noticed how the back of Ron''s car was customized to be a comfortable resting place. ''Such a dedicated assistant,'' she mused while she watched him outside the car as he made various phone calls. Meanwhile, Dion quickly dropped Rizie to her condo unit first as soon as he received the information of the incident and then he rushed towards his sister who was at the police station for a statement. "Bring her home first and I will follow soon." Xander said to Dion as soon as Yera was done with her statement. Dion understood and assisted his sister who seemed to be still in a shock. Inside the car, Dion held his sister''s hands and said, "Sis, are you alright?" Yera suddenly burst in tears. If she and Xander had not chased by that motorcycle, that truck definitely would have hit them and no one would survive that explosion. Dion pulled her for a hug as he gently patted her back. "Everything is fine now sis. You and bro-in-law are safe now." Meanwhile back at the police station, Xander had everything been discreetly covered. After everything was cleared, he headed back to the site where the incident happened. Investigators were all over the place. "What''s the update," he asked Ralf who was monitoring the situation. "The man on the motorcycle got away, Boss. The initial finding says that there''s a malfunction in the truck and the driver probably lost control¡­ The body of the driver will be sent for an autopsy to check if he was drunk or there is a foreplay behind all this. Hmm but Sir¡­" Ralf hesitated, which made Xander crease his forehead. "What?" "The incident during the company outing. The style is the same¡­ Both seemed to be staged as an accident or negligence where there''s a malfunction for the cause of the explosion¡­" Ralf expressed his opinion. Xander exhaled loudly. "We must find the man on that motorcycle. It seems to me that he was probably giving us a warning. Deliberately chasing us so we end up running out of that post¡­ If not for him, me and Yera would have turned to ashes by now." Xander murmured. Things were getting complicated and he himself could feel that it was not a mere accident but they would need more time to trace everything. "You must secure all the CCTV footage¡­" Xander added as he looked at the surroundings. Rui on the other hand almost took a nap in his car as he waited for Dr. Yao who requested to stop over in the nearby convenience store to buy water. Rui stretched his arms and looked at the clock. ''What time did she go out of the car?'' he mused seeing the time. He did not bother to look at the time when she left because he suddenly felt sleepy. He then stepped out of the car to go in and check on her in the convenient store but right then he saw her coming out and walking towards him already with a paper bag. ''What''s wrong with her?'' he thought, seeing Dr. Yao, who seemed to be limping so he blinked to make sure but on a closer look again,she seemed to be walking properly then. "Here¡­" Dr. Yao almost threw him the paper bag as she directly entered his car. Rui followed and went inside too. He scratched his head because he was not supposed to drop Dr. Yao but his dear friend Xander insisted that he took her home instead. "Are you alright?" Rui asked as he picked the bottled water in the paper bag and handed over one to Dr. Yao. "Yeah why?" Dr. Yao asked, then drank the water. "I think I saw you limping earlier¡­" "It''s just a figment of your imagination since you look like you have just woken up from a deep slumber." Dr. Yao scoffed as she put on her seatbelt. Rui did not react and stepped on the gas and pulled back on the road. "Why do you keep lingering around me? Aren''t you afraid of me?" Dr. Yao suddenly murmured. Rui let out a long sigh before he sincerely answered, "I don''t know too but I feel like you are walking on the wrong path and somehow I have this urge to help you walk in the correct direction." Dr. Yao pursed her lips for a perfect smug. "You are one weird psycho¡­ I just hope your hunch about people is always right or else you will end up getting yourself into trouble someday." Rui shrugged his shoulders and simply answered, "I like troubles because it''s always a challenge for me. Teaching me a lot of things along the process." "Yeah I noticed trouble seems to like you too¡­" Dr. Yao breathed and turned her head at Rui, who too happened to sneak a glance at Dr. Yao at the same time, and winked at him for the first time. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He tried to reach home as fast as he could because he knew Yera was deeply in shock and she would be very much afraid and disturbed, so he quickly let Ralf and Ron to take care of the rest. Yera immediately stood up and ran to hug her husband as soon as she saw him inside their bedroom. Xander gently pushed her and with a reassuring smile on his face he said, "We are now safe darling. Don''t worry and rest assured that we will get to the bottom of all this soon." He wiped the remaining tears stuck on Yera''s cheeks and smiled. Yera sighed and asked, "I think the person riding the motorcycle intentionally saved us. Did you find out who it was?" "Yeah, I think so too¡­ That person ran away from our men and they lost him. We are still looking for him." Xander muttered. The person on the motorcycle was wearing a black outfit and a heavily tinted helmet. "We should rest. You look tired already¡­" Yera noticed and pulled her husband on the bed and then she went to his cupboard and got his sleepwear for him to change into and helped him change. The couple, after praying together, tightly cuddled with each other and dozed off to sleep. Meanwhile, Dion was still at the bar area drinking with himself while watching all the clips of CCTV footage hacked by Vin. He was on the other line with his friend residing in Country V. "Whoever it was¡­ they definitely have access to the government''s security system. The footage after your brother''s men chased the person on the motorcycle¡­ has been hacked and had been already edited to hide that person." explained Vin. The two men talked and discussed a little more about the status of their research and investigations before the call ended. Dion was deep in his thoughts when he was suddenly startled by his mom, who suddenly appeared from his back. "Mom how long have you been eavesdropping?" he jested as he pulled a chair for her. Liz laughed and grabbed a glass to join her son for a drink. "Well I have heard enough and something familiar piqued my attention¡­" "Huh?" Dion breathed. "About that cyclone tattoos and triad thing. Honesty I heard something from your grandfather before about it. We all know that that organization was initially composed of three powerful families dominating the world in silence. They actually had some kind of a treaty to keep all their dealings peaceful and harmonious but then it was broken when descendants of each family started to break the rules they made to keep the organisation harmonious, especially like falling in love with each other that lead into tragedy. Hmm, then that time the war broke between those three families¡­ I have heard all that from your grandfather¡­ Oh wait I can''t recall now but I have something in my possession that might help you guys. It''s in our mansion. You see your grandfather was a very close friend with one of the clans of the organisation." narrated Dion''s mother to him, who was listening to every detail with his mouth agape in terror. "Mom! Since when did we have connections with such hoodlums?" he burst out still in shock hearing that their family had some connections with those syndicates. Liz laughed and said, "Why are you discriminating? They are not hoodlums, son. Well maybe some of them took a wrong path after that treaty was broken but not all of them were bad. They are doing business in a legal way, the Quan Clan, they have a symbol of a cyclone, marked as a tattoo on all members. And our family was friends with them. Your grandfather in particular is a very close friend¡­ The Quan Clan is in reign now in our country and we are almost close to becoming a peaceful country. I heard that the only heir is now back and being groomed to run for presidency..." Dion explained the entire scenario to his mother in which their investigation was somehow leading to the involvement of Quan Clan in all the mishaps they were experiencing but then it was proven that it was not their doing. "Well they are just trying to frame the Quan Clan. Among the two, you should investigate more on the Yue Clan, their symbol is the crescent moon tattoo but I heard they are the ones taking efforts in framing the Quan Clan of all their evil deeds¡­ Well I heard it from a reliable source, your grandfather. Maybe you should pay him a visit to find out more because you know how bad my memory can be at times¡­" Dion''s mother briefed and suggested. "Yeah, I will fly with you when you return back home mom. My sister had gone through enough and I only want all this to end¡­" Dion whispered. There was a moment of silence and Dion noticed his mom seemed to be in deep thoughts so he asked, "What is it mom?" Dion''s mom turned at him and said, "Hmm, I looked at uhmm you know the profile of Xander''s father¡­ How come there''s no photo of his late wife anywhere at all?" Dion''s face crumpled. "Mom really?" he breathed in disbelief. "What? I''m just curious to see how she looked, you know¡­" Dion''s mother said laughing seeing the crumpled face of her son. Well at least the tension on his face loosened a bit. "Senior Yang had intentionally protected the privacy of his wife from the start. So you can never see how she looked except when you go in their mansion, because that is where there is a big portrait of her. Well, for the time being, you can just look at big bro and imagine him in a woman''s haircut, you will be able to figure out how his mother looked because they said he got all his facial features from his mother." Dion mumbled. "Hmm, alright¡­ Still I''m curious. Even her name is strictly private? I''m even more curious now¡­" Liz m.o.a.ned. Dion shook his head and commented, "Goodluck mom. That''s all I can say¡­" Then something came to his mind and Dion quickly asked, "Mom, did grandpa know the history of the three clans?" It took time for Liz to answer before she said, "I think so¡­ Yes I believe so. Your grandpa had always loved to take photos and to keep them properly as a memory too, so he probably has it saved even if you want to see their family tree and everything, he must be having a copy of all the records¡­" "What? Why would he have those? And to keep all such things with him, is that even safe for our family?" Dion asked with a concerned look. "Don''t worry¡­ it''s just a back-up and no one knnows about it but the Old Master Quan¡­ Gosh I really don''t know the full details but you my son have to promise me to keep it to yourself only, alright?" Liz explained. Dion felt that he had so many unanswered questions¡­ He wondered if that triad had a connection with all that was happening with his sister anyhow, but then he would check it to make sure. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Despite the incident, Yera did not cancel the board meeting. "Are we all set?" Yera asked Dion before they entered the meeting room. "Yes, don''t worry sis." Dion reassured. The door opened and Yera entered the meeting room with Dion. She sat on her chair and looked at the board members in front of her. "Gentlemen, as you are all aware, I have called this board meeting to discuss and take your approval for a good proposal I received from Yang Globals group. Kindly look at it and I believe the offer is good and will definitely benefit us in return." Saying this, Yera looked at the smug faces and mocking looks of Mr. Lua and a few other people who were definitely his wingmen as well as board members. Yera gave a mocking smile back to them all and thinking a few things she was now more sure of what she was going to do next. She then signalled Shan to distribute the folders and then she looked at Dion who smiled and nodded back at her. Yera then looked towards Mr. Lua who sat all high and mighty and had an air of the chairperson around him. "Gentlemen, I request you all to please open the folders and go through all the points please. " When everyone opened the folders they all looked not surprised to see the content of the folder as it had all the suggestions about the suggestion of Yang Globals group for a merger. Reading the proposal, Mr. Lua including his wingmen formed a mocking smirk. "This is just absurd," Yera heard Mr. Lua mumble. As expected, Yera heard a lot of negative mumbles from the opposing sides. She gave a mocking smile before she added, "Gentlemen, I would like you to see this presentation first about the proposed merger and how it can be beneficial to all of us. And as company''''s policy, we will then proceed to voting in favour or against the proposal afterwards¡­" Yera signaled Shan while one of the representatives of Yang Globals group stepped inside the room to give the presentation¡­ After the presentation, they immediately proceeded for the voting. Yera sighed¡­ Hoping somehow they would have a good result. She looked at Lyndon who looked restless. ''He must be having a hard time¡­'' Yera inwardly thought. After everyone cast their votes, the counting began¡­ Yera''s shoulder dropped, when she saw that the opposing side won by only a minimal point. Lyndon did not support her until the end. He could not even raise his head and look at her after the result was out. With a heavy heart, the proposal for the said merger was declared not approved by the presider in the meeting. Mr. Lua smirked and looked and signalled at his wingman who was also part of the board members. Lyndon noticed that and sighed. He did not want to witness the following scene because it was a signal that they would now suggest for Yera to descend. One of the members started to speak on getting Mr. Lua''s signal. "Since we are already here and everyone is present. I think we should also consider how the Chairwoman is managing the group. Most of us here are actually not satisfied with the way she works and we would like to request that you leave the position of Chairwoman or if not then we should do another voting¡­" Yera gritted her teeth but managed to sarcastically lift her lips up. "Why would I leave the position when it is our family''s company? Life Globals group was pioneered by the Han family, but if you insist then we can follow the protocol and vote. So tell me who do you want to compete with me?" she scorned with a forced smile. "Mr. Lua¡­" one of the board members said as he detailed the contribution and everything Mr. Lua did especially at times when she was gone. Dion clenched his fist. ''How dare these people¡­'' he angrily mused and looked at his sister who was still calm. Her sister said that they should expect the worst because somehow Lyndon was hitting vaguely about this scenario. They all thought they would ask for Lyndon to be in the Chairperson position but it looked like Mr. Lua had all the strings in his fingers now of most of the board of members. Another voting began inside the meeting room and Yera could see the mocking look from Mr. Lua. She was very nervous but she kept her head high. "Grandpa, should I fail now please forgive me. No matter what happens I will keep our lineage and will not let anyone take over the company. I will very soon come back to prove myself." Yera mused. The second set of voting began¡­ Yera wanted to slap everyone showing their mocking looks. They looked confident while Yera managed to keep her composure. She herself knew that the same result for the merger proposal would happen. The votes would be the same. Even if she failed now she would never stop putting those people to where they belong while she lives. Dion wanted to choke Mr. Lua and most especially Lyndon. He knew it was Lyndon''s right but somehow he was expecting the man to still support his sister at this crucial time. Though his sister would lose the highest position, they still have the biggest shares in the company so those idiots would not last long with their evil schemes. ............ At Yang Globals group office¡­ "Dr. CEO, what happened last night?" Rui immediately asked as soon as he was inside Xander''s office. Last night, his mobile phone was turned off so he received all the messages just that morning. Xander''s face could not be painted and said, "How come your number is not contactable?" Rui scratched his head and answered, "Last night I went directly to sleep and just found out that my mobile phone was dead this morning. I will have it checked because the battery is not empty so maybe there''s a defect or something¡­" Rui sighed and asked, "Did Yera still proceed with the board meeting?" Xander simply nodded and discussed with Rui all that happened last night. "Wait, let me see the cctv footage¡­" Rui mumbled because he wanted to confirm the time lapse. "Ask Ralf¡­" Xander responded followed by several sighs as he added, "I wonder how is the meeting going on¡­" Rui creased his forehead and said, "Why don''t you watch it? You have access to all security footages at Yera''s office right." Xander did not want to watch it but rather had his assistant Ron to monitor it for him. The two men waited for any update while Rui contacted Ralf to send him a copy of the CCTV footage of the accident the previous night. Rui''s eyes widened as he watched the explosion. "This is definitely not an accident. It was staged to look like it." Rui looked at Xander with almost teary eyed as he whispered, "I almost lost you twice my friend¡­ You are like a cat I believe. You got nine spare lives¡­ Nine minus two and now you have remaining seven." Xander''s bro raised and grunted, "Your humor is getting worse each passing day Rui." Rui shrugged his shoulders as next he watched the motorcycle chase of Yera and Xander again. He looked at the time with knitted brows. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Her mobile phone rang and it was Xander who was probably aware that she had just lost her position as Chairwoman. She was furious by the way those sc.u.mbags treated her. They all pinpointed that she had missed a lot while she was gone and they were very loud about not being confident with how she was handling the company as a chairwoman. "Darling, let''s go out. I''m here at the parking lot¡­" Xander said on the other line. In between the board meeting, he already rushed towards Yera''s office to be with his wife regardless of the result. He knew his wife must be feeling very low at this moment so he wanted to cheer her up. As soon as Yera was inside the car, Xander immediately pulled her into his embrace and comforted her. "Don''t worry¡­ That old man will not reign for long," he whispered. "I can see you are feeling very low today. Let me bring you to a few nice places and lift your mood up. Let''s have some fun and procrastinate from the toxic work" Xander muttered. Yera was quiet and she just nodded and after some minutes they were already at their destination. Xander brought her into a bowling alley first. "There, this is a good stress reliever. Imagine those bowling pins are those assholes who dared to oppose you and this ball is you¡­" Xander grumbled as he positioned himself for a throw¡­ "Like this darling¡­" he added as he released the ball. "Strike! Yeah!" Xander cried as the ball he threw knocked down all the pins. Yera unconsciously laughed, seeing how her husband raised his one arm as if he just obtained a great victory. It was her turn now and Xander chose a lighter ball for her. "Use this and just throw the ball¡­" Xander whispered while he helped his wife with the correct posture. Yera did as her husband instructed and the first throw went and sunk directly at the side, hitting nothing at all. "What the heck¡­" she burst out while Xander laughed. "Darling everybody experiences that on their first try¡­ Don''t worry just try and try until you can get a hand on the technique. Yera did and she was able to hit one or two. She felt so happy whenever she hit a bowling pin. Xander watched her in amus.e.m.e.nt. He dialed Ron while Yera was enjoying the bowling¡­ "How is he?" he asked his doctor on the other line. They were actually reporting any improvements of patient X but Xander was getting impatient that he would call his team first for an update. "Sir he''s awake now but still unable to talk. We have already found the problem and would conduct an operation on him once his body stabilizes." Dr. Brown explained. "Alright. Make sure everything is in good condition before we move towards another step¡­" Xander said and ended the call. Then he got startled when Yera suddenly screamed and unconsciously jumped while she said, "Strike!!!!" He laughed and stood up to walk towards her. "Hmm, see. You learned so fast. If you''re already bored tell me and we will move to the next destination." Yera nodded and played some more. The couple then had a hearty lunch in a fine dine restaurant with a beautiful view afterwards. Xander asked his wife what else she would love to do and Yera said, "Anything will do, as long as you''re with me. I''m having a great time with you and enjoying everything¡­" Xander''s face blushed, caught off guard with his wife''s words. He gave Yera a gentle kiss, not minding the surroundings at all. When it was almost evening, Xander brought his wife to a live comedy show. Yera shook her head because it was her first time to watch such a show so it would be another new experience for her. Yera, unexpectedly, had the best laughs in her life that her stomach was already aching from it. "That was really fun!" Yera commented as they were inside the car. Then she unconsciously passes gas out of her stomach. Her face reddened with embarrassment while she sneaked a look towards her husband wondering if he had heard that sound. "They said if you fart with a sound, it has no smell. But to make sure let''s open our windows first." Xander nonchalantly commented that made Yera''s eyes rounded in terror. "Excuse me¡­ My fart has no smell!" she defended. Before she added, "It''s just that I laughed too much today, so a lot of gas entered inside¡­" Xander on the other hand was trying hard to control his laughter but couldn''t. "Darling¡­ I really don''t care how your fart smells or how it sounded¡­ I''m just kidding¡­ Of course I will not open the windows and let the scent that smells like a perfume to me fill in the air inside." Xander jested with a laugh. He could see from the corner of his eyes how cute his wife was with an embarrassed look, covering her entire face. "Stop that¡­ Don''t you really dare open the window you rascal..." Xander heard his wife challenged. He suddenly pursed his lips, waiting if his wife would dare do something gross like filling their car with her fart. That thought made him burst more in laughter and with challenging words he commented, "Darling fire it¡­ I''m always ready¡­" Yera did not know whether to cry or laugh on her husband''s humor. And with an arched brow, she accepted the challenge. ''Didn''t he know that I have got a talent for letting out the air on my own?'' she mused as she began her piece. The car was filled with laughter and bantering as the couple drove their way back to home. Yera felt really grateful and blessed for having a partner like Xander who she could let herself all out without inhibitions at all. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Well, it was not him who was totally shocked but it was Rizie who received the woman. "Do you have an appointment Miss Lua?" Rizie casually asked after the woman introduced herself. "Sorry, I don''t have¡­ It''s actually a surprise visit. I heard what happened yesterday so I am not sure if he would allow me an appointment to visit him¡­" The woman meekly explained. Rizie cursed at the thought of how seemingly nice the woman was, not to mention how warm were her smiles that were directed at her. Dion was there in his office and was not busy at all, as a part of her job, she asked Miss Cali to sit in the waiting area while she dialed Dion and informed him that Miss Cali was outside. "What should I tell her?" she asked simply. "Just let her in Riz," Dion simply answered. Rizie called Miss Cali and let her enter Dion''s office. "Would you like something Miss Cali?" she asked and the woman only gave her a sweet smile while saying, "No thanks please don''t bother¡­ Thank you so much Rizie." Rizie helplessly turned around to leave the room. Outside, she sighed several times. How she wished she had implanted a hidden camera in Dion''s office so she could hear and watch what he was doing. Maybe she should ask her brother for one once she visits him. She looked at the calendar¡­ The wedding date of her mother is almost there. She was thinking if she should just bring Dion right at the wedding ceremony or should she introduce him first in advance to her family. She grabbed her tablet and looked at Dion''s schedules to see what would be the best time she could go home to their villa in the province such that Dion would not be busy. While she was checking Dion''s schedules, she was interrupted by the sound of the opening of Dion''s room. Cali came out first and following behind him was Dion. "Riz, I will just grab some coffee with Cali and talk about some business. I will call you later¡­" Dion informed her with an awkward smile. Rizie only nodded. Cali smiled at her and bid her farewell too with the word, ''thanks'' once more. Another silent curse let out from Rizie''s heart. ''How come she seems to be nice¡­ She''s making me feel insecure¡­ Hate it, I just so hate this feeling.'' she irritably mused. Rizie followed Dion''s back as the two of them walked out and headed to the elevator¡­""This is not good¡­" she mumbled as her eyes went back on Dion''s schedule. Dion and Cali went to the cafe on the first floor. "Thank you for accepting my treat for a coffee. I''m really sorry for what happened¡­ I will try to convince my grandfather to return the position to your sister." Cali straightforwardly said. "Why would you do that Cali? Do not bother yourself with things you''re not involved in." Dion simply commented. "But I really feel bad. I heard that your sister had just returned and you were very recently introduced as a Han. I mean your family has been through a lot¡­" Cali explained. "Hmm, I guess you''ve been searching a lot of information about my family," Dion scorned with a twisted mouth.. Cali ignored his sarcasm and calmly smiled as she drank her coffee. "Well to be honest I did. My grandfather suddenly asked me to come back, and at that moment I knew he was up to something. I''m his favorite granddaughter and he really loves me a lot since I make him proud with my smartness and intelligence, not to forget my beautiful looks. Huh, whatever he asks of me, I always follow but then it''s different when he wants to involve my lovelife for his professional gains. I don''t want anyone else dictating me about it¡­" Cali continued and told how her grandfather wanted her to get close to Dion. Well she would not mind being close with him as a friend whereas her grandfather seemed to mean a different kind of closeness, something Cali didn''t want it to be. "Honestly, I find you a nice person and I want to maintain a good friendship with you though my grandpa wants us to end up with something more than that. Dion, you can be rest assured that I will not let it happen. I would like to offer you something. Like a give and take relationship if you don''t mind. Right now, I still can''t stand on my own, because grandpa has full authority over my money¡­ So can we help each other?" Cali started to table her opinion. Dion stared at her and he looked a bit confused¡­ Cali laughed and she began to elaborate her plan. "So you want us to pretend to be having a romantic relationship for a few months until you reach twenty one years of age when you''ll be able to get a hold of all your money and belongings?" Dion repeated. Cali nodded¡­ "I have a girlfriend Cali and you met her already. Her name is Rizie." Dion answered. "I know. Don''t you think I did not do enough research before giving you this offer? My grandpa also knows about this¡­ Even how your sister was married to Xander Yang. He knows it all¡­" Cali blurted. "What?!" Dion burst out in disbelief. "I told you I can be of help okay? This way I can save my grandfather too from scheming because I don''t want him to end up in hell for doing bad things. I tried my best to help him out and give him good advice but he won''t budge at all. I also want to get out from his grip and do what I really love to do on my own but with his power over my money, it''s hard¡­ I always ended up following whatever he asks me to do. You see I grew up being pampered with a silver spoon in my mouth, so without anything, I feel like I will end up in trash¡­" Cali childishly complained and Dion wanted to laugh at that moment but managed to control it. Looking at Cali and meeting her at first, his first impression was that the woman was too dependent¡­ But he would not neglect the fact that she was naive and a nice person, an innocent one to be precise. She was twenty and would turn twenty one in a few months¡­ Dion let out a long deep sigh before he said, "Let me ask my girlfriend first then I will immediately inform you about my decision." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Mr. Lua muttered as he grabbed the resignation letter submitted by Lyndon. He knew the young man''s efforts from the start and he was actually satisfied with Lyndon''s performance, inwardly applauding on how he was managing the company as CEO, as his favorite puppet. He could have been a good pair for his granddaughter but then he would not entrust Cali to someone like Lyndon. Status wise, Cali was more suitable to Dion Han. If the two ended up together he would be able to gain the largest share in Life Hospitals, thus attaining full control and power at the company, not to mention the advantage of access to Dion''s wealth from his mother''s side. "After everything that had happened¡­ I would rather leave." he heard Lyndon chime in. Mr. Lua''s facial muscles flinched and with a grin he responded, "Nah don''t look at me like that. You do know that we''ve been supporting you from the start but it''s you who wavered when Yera arrived. You let your emotions take over your decisions boy. In this kind of world unrequited emotions is the last thing you need¡­" Lyndon''s side lips lifted up as he scoffed, "Why do I have this feeling that you really don''t mean every word that you say. From now on I''m no longer connected with you and since you already gained what you wanted now¡­ I do hope you will let Yera live in peace¡­" Mr. Lua let out a sarcastic laugh and mumbled, "It''s funny to hear those words from you. I''m sorry I don''t mean to offend you, but I think you, of all people, have no right at all to act like a knight in shining armor for her. Right?" "Shut up!" Lyncon chided with a dark face. "What? Did I hit on your most sore spot boy? Isn''t it true that it''s too impeccable that you act that way towards Yera?" Mr. Lua added, enjoying how annoyed and angered Lyndon was at that moment. That perfect puppet who thought he could enjoy the benefits he was giving him during those times. Lyndon clenched his fist and chose to ignore Mr. Lua. He turned to leave with gritted teeth. That bastard old man had planned it all along. He was used¡­ He was a pawn in his game. ....... Yera focussed on accepting more surgeries and being more active inside the hospital as a top surgeon while she also trained many surgeons to pass on the knowledge she had. She let Dion handle more matters of the business with her guidance. It never stopped there because they were still investigating Mr. Lua and his constituents. She was sure the old man had a weakness. Mr. Lua was totally clean compared to other shareholders. Though they found nothing at first, Yera had him continuously monitored, making sure to check every single detail to put him down. She was sure that a scheming old man like him would have some flaw for sure. "Did you hear the news?" Shaira whispered to Dr. Xiao, both were not aware that Yera was not far behind them to get some files at the filing cabinet. "What?" "CEO Lyndon resigned. He submitted his resignation to Chairman Lua this morning. I think he is feeling bad? I heard he did not support Dr. Han in the board meeting¡­" Shaira narrated. "Lyndon resigned?!" Yera asked, she was surprised and not aware of that. The two almost screamed, startled by Yera''s voice from behind. "Is that true Shaira?" Yera repeated. Shaira nodded. Yera, after Shaira''s confirmation, hurriedly walked to Lyndon''s office. Without a word, she directly entered Lyndon''s office. She saw Lyndon preparing his things. "You really are leaving?" she asked, still in disbelief while Lyndon continued to put some of his books on the shelf inside a box. After a moment of silence, Lyndon turned around and gave Yera a smile. "Please sit¡­" he said as he walked towards her and led her to the couch so he could talk to her. "Hmm, honestly I thought I would just wrap things up in here then look for you to say goodbye but I guess the news does travel fast¡­ Yes I am leaving the Life Hospitals group. I honestly feel bad about what has happened and that I couldn''t do a thing about it. As much as I wanted to support you, I have my own personal reasons for not doing so Yera¡­ I''m really sorry for everything and I do hope someday you''ll be able to forgive me¡­" Lyndon said. "What are you saying? Why are you leaving? I really don''t understand. Can''t you just stay and help Dion? I mean you have a good position and you are managing the hospital well. Is it Mr. Lua? What did he say? Is he the one who wanted you to do this?" Lyndon smiled and shook his head while he said, "No Yera, it''s my own decision. I''ve already decided to do it for quite some time now¡­ I am really tired now Yera¡­" Yera felt really bad for Lyndon but she knew Lyndon had his reasons for leaving¡­ Yera''s mobile beeped, indicating that there was an emergency. Lyndon smiled and said, "Go now¡­ I''ll ask you for a meal sometimes like the old days, if your husband permits." He winked at Yera who nodded and bade her farewell. Lyndon watched her back as she left the door. "Goodbye¡­" Lyndon disheartenedly whispered. He was already drained out, not to mention the burden and pain he was carrying whenever he would see Yera. He could no longer take it and he wanted to go far away. But he knew someday¡­ The circ.u.mstances would not let him be... Lyndon accidentally saw Jam two days ago and he followed her to find out how she was doing. He was grateful to see that Jam was doing all good and well¡­ As for him, he decided to try to concentrate more on a new business with his family and start a new life. ''Did I ever deserve to start anew?'' he mused followed by a deep sigh of fear. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"It''s true that not all members of the family have the same goals in life. There will be a blacksheep and some will still take a right path¡­" Xander commented. They were outside the mansion having snacks in the garden since it was the weekend and surprisingly all the family members were available to spend quality time together. Xander alternately looked at Yera and Dion who were sitting in front of him. With narrowed eyes, he rubbed his chin and jested, "I wonder who among you two will be a blacksheep? Well I''m an only son so naturally I don''t have any competition¡­ Siblings do compete sometimes¡­" "Stop that nonsense, that only happens to people with greed. Those who are not content with what they have¡­ Yera and Dion both grew up to be good persons. Someone whom their family could be proud of." Yera grinned seeing how Dion''s mother frankly scolded her husband while she placed the tray of fruits she sliced for them. "I just finished cooking the pasta¡­" Liz commented while she looked at her wrist watch. Xander said they invited his dad so she had prepared a lot of food, cooking everything herself. "How come your father is not here yet?" Liz asked Xander with knitted brows. Dion wanted the ground to eat him wholly because of embarrassment. Why? Because her mom was too blunt in expressing how she found Senior Yang attractive and likeable not only to him but to Xander too. Xander gulped and muttered, "Auntie, I think you scared dad." Yera kicked his feet under the table. "Ouch!" Liz only laughed and said, "Well he''s a coward then if he''s scared, why? Did you tell your dad my scheming plans?" Xander''s face puckered as he gave Dion a meaningful look but Dion only answered him with a shrugged.. Yera on the other hand was having fun with Dion''s mother. She liked her a lot. She was so cool and very candid. Well funny too because since she arrived in the mansion it was always filled with laughter. How she wished Dion''s mother stayed for good, so she decided to support her in winning favor of her father-in-law. "Don''t worry auntie, I will call father now and tell him to arrive here fast¡­" Yera excitedly said while she immediately grabbed her mobile phone to dial her father-in-law. "So back to our topic about that Cali," Xander spoke to change the topic and discussed the importance of the matter. "I think her offer is not that bad. You will just stage a fake relationship in the eyes of that Old Lua¡­ Lyndon resigned. The Vice Chairman and CEO''s position is currently vacant. To be honest¡­" Xander continued but paused and looked at Yera who walked far behind them to call his father. "Well, I want your sister to rest for a while and focus on just being a wife and hopefully have a normal life as a mother. I think you somehow fit and I will of course have your back¡­ Let''s use this opportunity to bring you in. Get the Vice Chairman and CEO position and grab Cali''s hand for now¡­ I''m sure Rizie would understand the situation." Xander noted, considering it would not last long since Cali''s twenty-first birthday was coming soon. "You would still be with Rizie most of your time. I will convince your sister to let Rizie come back¡­." Xander stated and looked at Dion''s mother before asking, "Auntie is that okay with you?" Dion''s mother bit an apple first before answering, "Of course yes¡­ It''s not like my son will have a disadvantage on that set-up. I have a boy so¡­ having his girlfriend stay with him is not a bother for me. I don''t have to protect his v.i.r.g.i.nity¡­" Seeing how Xander and Dion both crumpled their faces, Liz rephrased her words and said, "I mean I don''t have to protect his v.i.r.g.i.nity since he is a man¡­ What worries me is only of course Rizie¡­ But anyway, once Dion meets her family then I guess this should be alright¡­" Dion let out an awkward smile because he was not even sure when Rizie would introduce him. Just in time, he saw Rizie walking in their direction with a smile. Dion wanted to pick her up but Rizie insisted on going to the mansion on her own. "She''s here¡­ You two better talk about it now¡­" Xander suggested and looked at Dion''s mother. "Auntie, my dad will arrive anytime soon. Let''s go with Yera and wait for him in the living room." Liz nodded and stood up so Rizie and Dion could talk alone. "How come they left us here alone¡­" Rizie asked as she sat beside Dion. Dion smiled and replied, "Hmm because I need to talk to you about something important, so I asked them to leave us for now." Rizie suddenly got nervous and quickly said, "Alright, but before you start I have something to say to you too, I checked your schedule and if you are okay and wish to then we can travel to our villa so I can introduce you to my family¡­" Dion with rounded eyes, was speechless. He subconsciously pulled Rizie for a tight embrace. "Oh thank you!!! That''s good. Let''s go as early as I can. I''m really excited to meet them. I want them to know I''m sincere with how I feel for you¡­" Rizie had a wide smile all over her face and hugged Dion even tighter as she felt how happy he really was. Then she gently pushed him and asked, "What is it that you want to talk about?" Dion suddenly contemplated whether he would tell Rizie or not the situation involving Cali. But then Rizie seemed not to be bothered with Cali based on his observation so maybe his brother was correct. Dion cleared his throat before he started talking about Cali''s proposal to him, including bro Xander''s suggestion, detailing how it would benefit Han''s fight for getting back full power in the Life Hospitals group. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

How is it going? How do you find Dion?" Mr. Lua asked his granddaughter who brought him his coffee in his study. "Well¡­ It''s going great grandpa. Dion is nice to me and has invited me to go out tomorrow." Cali lied because she couldn''t afford to tell her grandpa that there was no progress at all. "Hmmm, that''s good then. The CEO and Vice Chairperson position is still vacant and I''m considering him for that position¡­ But of course it will depend on how he is treating you. I can always put one of my wingman on these posts anytime but then Dion will be a good candidate since he can be my future grandson-in-law right?" Cali gulped, trying hard not to crease her face before her grandfather who was looking at her intently. Instead she gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Hmm, Dion is absolutely fit for that position grandpa. Why nominate any old man for that? I mean no offense, but you do know that being a CEO is a toxic position¡­ and it''s an advantage that Dion is a doctor too, He is surely more knowledgeable than Lyndon. You see Yang Globals group has a DR. CEO¡­" Mr. Lua laughed and commented, "You''re too naive dear. It''s not because of a related position but with skill and capability to manage. Dion is raw in this line of business. But it''s an advantage for me because it will be easy to manipulate him." Cali sat beside her grandfather and snuggled at her grandfather. "Grandpa¡­ I really think we have enough power and money already. Why still stress yourself? I mean can we not just spend time travelling and enjoying it?" Cali tried to vaguely convince her grandfather once more to drop his greed. "Dear¡­ You should not be content with only what you have and aim for more in life. Trust me¡­ I''m doing this for our lineage. I want to secure your future, our family''s future¡­" Cali was about to say more but her grandfather abruptly stood up and said, "You should rest now. I don''t want to hear anymore of this nonsense. Cali''s face crumpled as she blew air on her forehead. She was losing hope for her grandfather. Tomorrow, she would of course not bother Dion but go to her friends. However she should tell Dion so just in case her grandfather asks then they had the same answer. .................. At A Romantic Restaurant¡­ Shan and Ron had their first dinner date whereas they had a hearty meal together and casually talked about each other''s likes and hobbies. Shan would stare at Ron every now and then as she tried to recall something. That night, she actually slept in Ron''s car while he worked but something was vividly playing in her memory. It was Ron, gently kissing her lips but when she opened her eyes she immediately went back to sleep thinking she was in a dream, plus the fact that she was really tired and very sleepy. She unconsciously paused her gaze at his lips. ''It felt so real that night though,'' she mused as she tried hard to recollect her memories. Ron noticed Shan was staring at him so he asked, "Is there a stain or smudge on me?" Shan shook her head and smiled. "No¡­ It''s just that something¡­ Uhm anyway, I always forget to ask you but is there something¡­ I mean that night while I was sleeping in your car. Did you happen to steal a kiss from me?" she candidly asked. Rom almost spit out the wine he just drank with that question that he ended up coughing. Shan handed him and tissue as she apologized, "I''m sorry¡­ It''s just that it felt so real to me to be a dream so I wanted to confirm." Ron reddened and almost cut his tongue out. Shan seemed to catch him red handed because he was indeed guilty but he did not want to confess it for the fear that Shan might think he was a pervert? It was unexpected. He was checking on her before hitting the road up but saw her in deep sleep that he was amazed and stared at her beauty. He did not expect it to happen too but his eyes went down on her lips that time and he felt a magnet pulling him down to give those lips a kiss. He could still remember how his heart fluttered and jumped out of nervousness at the same time when Shan suddenly opened her eyes. However, he was relieved seeing she soon closed them back and snored. "Hmm.. I haven''t yet but we can do it later. Maybe your dream is a premonition or a desire for it to happen so I will gladly fulfill it¡­" Ron shamelessly blurted out. He almost cursed his boss. All that had happened because of being in the company of such a shameless boss. When you are always with such a shameless person, you end up copying his shameless punchlines. Shan''s face reddened¡­ "I''m just kidding Shan¡­" Ron countered, alarmed that Shan was suddenly quiet. Shan only gave him an awkward smile but replied, "Hmm, technically we''re in a relationship already right so I think that''s okay¡­" She suddenly looked down to focus on her food and to hide the reddening of her face. Ron creased his forehead and thanked his Boss several times in his thoughts since copying his shameless Boss in pursuing a woman seemed to be effective. ''Don''t hesitate to express what you really feel,'' those were the words he would always hear from his Boss when he was pursuing Madame Yera. --- On the other hand, Xander who was taking his dinner that time cursed for suddenly coughing. "Geez who the hell is that remembering me at this hour!" he grumbled as he closed the book he was reading while he waited for his wife to finish showering inside their bathroom. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"No one in our country has succeeded till now in this kind of operation except me of course¡­" Yera boasted while she watched the video clip where she conducted the said surgery. "It''s because it''s too complicated¡­" Dion commented. He would often bother his sister not only in business matters but most importantly about surgeries. Like her, he wanted to save more lives using his profession. The enormous feeling could not be explained whenever he went out to deliver the good news to his patient''s loved ones waiting outside the operation room. "Hmm, yes it is but there is a way to make it simple¡­" Yera said as she discussed in detail each procedure with Dion which the latter took in with a focused heart and mind. The siblings ate lunch together after the serious lessons about surgical procedures. Dion''s mobile phone rang and it was Cali. "So what happened? Did you already inform Rizie?" Yera asked her brother. Rizie was currently on a lunch meeting with Ron and Shan so it was only her and Dion eating lunch together. "Yes I did. She did not answer me yet. She asked me if it''s okay that she will think more about it. I think she''s a bit upset although she smiled at me." Dion speculated. "If that''s me I will be upset too. Who would want to see her man acting as a boyfriend of another woman? I might as well break your neck on the spot¡­" "Sis! That''s too morbid!" Dion burst out. He could not imagine Rizie breaking his neck at all. Yera laughed out hard and continued, "Well, you don''t need to accept that offer if it will affect your relationship withRizie. I''m sure we will find other ways. Just be patient¡­ We will get through this somehow." Dion heaved a depressed sigh and muttered, "I know. It''s just that I feel bad that we lost full control of the family''s business and worst have someone else reign over it. Well if that person could be trusted maybe that''s acceptable but Cali herself said that her grandpa has his own schemes and greed." Dion was a bit surprised seeing Cali enter the restaurant. "What is she doing here?" he mumbled in shock. "You told her where you are on the phone¡­" Yera nonchalantly commented as she followed Dion''s gaze. "She''s not that bad. She''s pretty¡­" Yera added, looking intently at the woman with a bright and warm smile walking towards them. "I''m really sorry about this. Honestly, I was on my way to meet my friends but I noticed I was being followed. See the guys on my back¡­ Wait don''t look at them¡­" Cali explained as she sat beside Dion. Then she described men in disguise she''s been noticing since she entered the mall. It was a good thing that she had a good grasp on people''s faces. "Hmm, that''s given. You grandfather is probably checking if we are really getting along." Dion commented. "Hello, I''m Cali¡­" Cali initiated and extended her hand to Yera who accepted it and smiled back. Dion scratched his head because he forgot to introduce Cali to his sister. "Please don''t get mad at me. I may be my grandfather''s granddaughter but we have different perspectives in life." Cali directly stated. Yera was expressionless and just listened to Cali and Dion as they talked. The woman seemed to be harmless and genuine, based on her observation. -- Meanwhile, Rizie with Shan and Ron, discussed the matter pertaining to the vacant position of Vice Chairman and CEO. They gathered all information on all possible candidates and tried to check every single detail in wake of finding their smallest flaws. Rizie was in a dilemma ever since Dion opened up to her about Cali''s offer because deep inside her she knew it was beneficial for Dion and Yera''s current situation. However, she was scared that while pretending to be a boyfriend and girlfriend there was the possibility of a real development of liking each other. So though, she herself knew that it could be the only chance for Dion, yet she was hesitant to confirm her agreement. "I heard that Mr. Lua''s granddaughter came up with a great offer," Rizie tabled what Dion told her. "Oh my God! That is great? I mean COO Dion should grab that opportunity for us to have a sure win!!! Luck is crawling to our side, gradually but surely good things are coming towards us. He must not miss this opportunity¡­" Shan commented. Because to be honest they were all exhausted in digging out piles of files just to find out the weaknesses that were covered up well by all those board members, who were the wingmen of Mr. Lua, and could be used for Yera''s benefit. Ron elbowed Shan who was not aware of Rizie''s relationship with Dion. "COO Dion has a girlfriend Shan." Shan''s face crumpled as she defended, "Duh? It''s just a girlfriend, it''s not like they are married okay. Besides, it will be for a show only so what harm can it cause? COO Dion and that Cali will just pretend to be in a relationship in Mr. Lua''s eyes. What''s random dating? Well that girlfriend of COO Dion should have more trust in him because the COO will do it only for the sake of the family''s welfare. It''s not like COO Dion wants to cheat on her with Mr, Lua''s granddaughter who is their enemy¡­" Ron''s lips pursed and was about to stop Shan from blabbering more when Rizie interrupted, "Maybe you''re right Shan. I will tell COO Dion about this so that his girlfriend won''t be selfish anymore and considers the urgency of the situation at hand." "Oh Rizie that would be nice. Do you know who his girlfriend is? If so maybe you can convince her too. It''s not the time to feel insecure¡­ Every day counts now, so please do convince her if you know her so that we can finally have some spare time and look towards other matters and not put all our days into going over these kinds of doc.u.ments. My eyes are really bleedi¡­" "Shan stop that already!" Ron scolded and added, "Rizie is COO Dion''s girlfriend!!!" Shan''s jaw dropped¡­ While her gaze shifted at Rizie with wide eyes, totally in shock. "True?" was the only word that came out of Shan''s mouth. Rizie nodded and gave her an awkward smile... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

This was the day when he would finally meet Rizie''s family. "Stop it¡­" Rizie commented with a laugh. Dion looked so hyper and she could not help but tease him. Dion grabbed her hand and kissed it, with eyes still focused on the road. "I''m just too happy." he murmured with a grin. Rizie might now be aware but meeting her family meant so much to him. It was an indication that Rizie, little by little was overcoming her weaknesses. Rizie smiled¡­ The good atmosphere inside the car was interrupted by the sudden ringing of Rizie''s mobile phone. Seeing that it was Cali, she immediately answered it. "Where are you guys now? You will have to pick me up¡­ I''m at my friend''s house and it''s along the way to your villa.. I will explain everything later¡­" Cali said, before ending the call. Yes Rizie agreed to Cali''s plan in the end. Cali, on the other hand, would contact her always instead if she would need to meet Dion, saying that way Rizie could at least feel safe around her, proving that she had no scheme towards her boyfriend. "What happened? Who''s that?" Dion asked. Rizie sighed and said, "I think there''s some urgent situation. It''s Cali¡­" Dion''s face crumpled as she gave Cali''s address¡­ "Do we really need to do this?" Dion complained. Another frustrated sigh escaped Rizie''s mouth while she said, "Yeah we will have to. Let''s sort this out once we arrive there. I will call my family to inform them that we will arrive at dinner. They did not know anyway that we were coming¡­" Rizie was about to call her family while on their way and inform their arrival at lunch but then an unexpected call from Cali happened. To be honest she was contemplating whether to announce their visit. Why? Because she was sure all her family would go to the villa too including her oldest brother who was living in the City¡­" "What are you doing?" Dion commented seeing Rizie take off her seatbelt and cross over on the backseat. Dion was about to stop but Rizie immediately said, "No! Just keep driving. Cali is being followed. I must sit at the back. She will jump in the passenger seat as soon as we arrive there." "This is absurd!" Dion cried in irritation. True enough, as soon as Dion''s car stopped, the couple got startled as Cali suddenly jumped inside. "Guys, I''m really sorry about this. My grandpa called and asked about my whereabouts asking why were you with Rizie and not me. It''s a good thing Rizie informed me about your trip to her villa so I said that you two will pick me up. I told him I''m trying to be nice with Rizie and befriending her so it would be easy to kick her later out of the picture. So I said it''s my idea to visit Rizie''s villa this weekend. Damn I don''t even have any clothes with me¡­" Cali explained without a pause of breath. "Cali, you grandpa is definitely not that dumb to believe you right? He knows I''m in a relationship with Rizie!" Dion countered. Cali''s eyes rolled. "Nah¡­ I told him that the two of you have broke-up already... He now knows that I''m doing all the efforts in getting you wrapped in my palms and dancing to my tunes¡­ And that I want to show Rizie that you''re mine. He likes it and even calls me ''savage girl''" Cali almost puked recalling the laugh she heard from her grandpa. "It was a good thing that your villa has a resort¡­ Wow congrats Rizie, I heard that it was really doing well. Salute to your family!" Cali complimented, trying to ease the awkward tension inside the car. "Yeah¡­ Thanks, it''s actually my twin who is managing it well¡­" Rizie simply commented. Cali''s eyes widened as she turned around to look back at Rizie, "Seriously? A twin? Someone who looks exactly like you?" Rizie laughed seeing the funny expression on Cali, she looked cute. "No, we are fraternal twins and he is definitely different from me." "He? A male? Oh he must be cute too since you are so cute¡­" Cali complimented that made Rizie blushed. Dion on the other hand was quietly driving while listening to the two women who seemed to be getting along well. ''Was it even a good thing?'' he mused as he shook his head. "There''s a big problem somehow¡­" Dion suddenly muttered. Cali''s forehead creased and asked, "What?" "I mean you will stay at the resort and obviously your grandpa would definitely still have you followed and monitored. I''m there to meet Rizie''s family and stay at their mansion of course so don''t you dare interrupt and ask my presence with you." Dion directly declared. Cali pouted her lips and muttered, "Of course I know that so I plan to just stay inside the room but then they have to see me check in with you¡­" "Oh I have an idea. Dion will check in with you but he needs to leave too so maybe we can do this. After the check-in Dion will go to the restroom and exchange clothes with my brother, who will be already waiting for him there, so my brother will be the one who will accompany you to your room. Is that okay?'' Rizie suggested. Her brother was the best when it came to disguising. It was his natural born talent that she would often call him a con man because Josh could always copy anyone at school during their childhood to mess with others. "Hmm, that will do. Hmm, is your brother uhm safe to be with?" Cali unconsciously voiced her concern. Rizie laughed and said, "Of course he is. He is a gentleman. The only flaw he has is that he''s a bully¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"I really don''t feel good about this," he mumbled seeing the bright and shiny smile of Dion''s mother from his car window. He was feeling great to get invited more often at the mansion and to accompany Dion''s mother who was about his age. However, he didn''t know why he felt awkward in the way that he was asked to entertain Dion''s mother because somehow he felt that it was Dion''s mother who was entertaining him like a local as if she was not a foreigner in this country. "Good evening James. The kids are already waiting for you in the dining area." greeted Dion''s mother as soon as Senior Yang walked towards the door. "Oh alright but why are you here waiting outside. Please you don''t have to do that." Senior Yang said as he signaled Dion''s mother to walk first inside. "Yeah but I was a bit excited to welcome and see you. Anyway, let''s go inside¡­" Dion''s mother casually said and walked in front of him. Senior Yang felt weird. ''What was that?'' he mused as he shook his head and began to walk. At dinner, Yera and Xander would often exchange meaningful glances as they listened to their conversation and were amused to see how comfortable Dion''s mother was in talking casually to their father. "How come father is out of words?" Yera whispered, making sure that her husband was the only one to hear. "I know right? It''s amusing to watch him being tamed like that." Xander whispered back. "By the way James, you say your favorite playtime is golf right? I''m looking forward to learn golf and am sure you won''t mind teaching me tomorrow. Gosh, I have a lot of places to visit and the kids are so busy to even accompany me anywhere. It''s a good thing that I have you with me¡­" Liz excitedly reminded him with flashing eyes. Senior Yang looked at his son and said, "I think Xander is free tomorrow. My son is better than me so it''s¡­" "Dad, I have a date with my wife tomorrow. You do know that Yera has been very busy lately with several surgeries everyday and it''s very rare for us to be able to spend time together." Xander intentionally interrupted with a teasing grin. He was at hype seeing his father stuttered for the first time. ''Hah! The great Senior Yang was out of words in front of Aunt Liz!'' he silently sent his teasing message to his father through his mischievous look. Senior Yang arched a brow and countered, "Hmm, you guys can date while playing golf. Yera loves playing golf. Right dear?" Yera nodded because she could not afford to lie to her father-in-law. It was true that she loved and enjoyed playing golf¡­ "Nah stop that James. Let the young couple enjoy on their own okay. Aren''t you excited to have a grandchild? These two need time alone." Liz interrupted with a smile. Xander gave two thumbs up to Dion''s mother as he stated, "Auntie, you''re the best!" Senior Yang pursed his lips in defeat. He subconsciously looked at Dion''s mother and his heart almost stopped when he saw her wink at him. ''What the heck?!'' ............¡­ At Lim''s Villa As soon as Dion with Rizie together with Cali arrived at the resort, Dion immediately after checking in went to the restroom where Rizie''s brother was already waiting for him to arrive. Dion gulped seeing Rizie''s brother staring intently at him. "So you''re Dion? Geez what the hell of a situation you are in dude that I have to take care of a woman on behalf of you? What are you staring at? Go and remove your freaking clothes and let''s swap!" Rizie''s brother irritably instructed. Dion thought his heart almost dropped. He was wearing a jacket, a cap and shades not to add the shawl on his neck. It was a good thing he had those inside the car. "Dude move faster. I want to get it done fast. My time is gold¡­" Rizie''s brother growled. "I''m sorry about this by the way, I''m Dion han¡­" Dion said and extended his hand for a handshake. Josh''s face crumpled and snorted, "Josh here. Enough with the formal introduction and strip dude¡­" Dion quickly moved with a thumping heart. Rizie only mentioned the word bully¡­ Dion thought to add the word ''savage''. Dion felt like he was in the military whereas, Rizie''s brother never stopped scolding him to move faster as if he was timed in stripping and putting on the clothes Rizie''s brother brought. "That brat¡­ How dare she announce her arrival on the same day and even involving me in this kind of situation¡­" Josh whined. He couldn''t believe that he would miss the opportunity to bully Rizie in front of her boyfriend! How he waited for this moment to come and get back to his dear twin sister who did nothing but bully his girlfriends during school days up to her heart''s content! Oh, and it certainly did not stop after school days but Rizie continued with her bullying whenever she was at the villa. "You¡­ Let''s talk after this!" Josh hissed and threw Dion his car keys. "My car key is in the pocket¡­" Dion almost whispered to Rizie''s brother who went outside the restroom in a rush. Dion let out a loud exhale. Finally he could breathe! They dropped Rizie at the bus station not far from the resort, she was supposed to wait for her brother to pick her up while he and Cali were to proceed to check in at the resort. After getting the signal that Cali''s tail had already left¡­ Dion immediately ran at the parking lot to get Josh''s car and pick up Rizie at the bus station. As soon as Rizie was inside the car, Dion spluttered, "You forgot to mention to Cali that your brother is a savage one with words." Rizie laughed out hard and said, "I intentionally did not add that. Do you think Cali would agree to be with him if I said that to her? Bully is enough¡­ Cali is a sweetheart. Who knows, maybe she could make my brother tongue tied¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Shhh, it''s me, Rizie''s brother. Just stay quiet and let''s end this without any further drama¡­" the man murmured in her ear. Cali twitched her mouth and wrapped her arms with the man''s arm and said, "Alright Dion, let''s go!" As soon as they were inside the elevator, Josh was about to break from Cali''s arms but the latter did not let him go. "We can''t afford loose ends. Unless you confirm that your resort''s security is tight enough not to be checked by my grandfather." Cali whispered so they continued to walk in that close proximity upto inside her room. "Geez, I can''t believe this¡­" Josh complained, still annoyed while he removed the shawl, shades and cap. Then he finally looked clearly at Cali¡­ His facial muscle flinched, startled with how pretty the woman in front of him was smiling at him with her warm lips. ''Warm lips? Since when did he start describing lips as warm?'' he mused as he collected himself from being starstruck at that moment. Earlier, he would admit that he was easily drawn towards beauties. But beauties did not affect him that much now. It was very rare to have a woman like his sister-in-law Keira with a complete package in and out. He had already learned his lessons with his past relationsh.i.p.s so now he looked and gave more importance to inner beauty rather than the outer beauty. "Thank you Josh¡­ I''m Cali¡­" Cali cooly introduced herself and extended her hand. Josh with an arched brow sighed and accepted her hand but quickly let go. "Rizie said you did not have dinner yet. Call the reception now and place your order." Josh nonchalantly instructed and then sat on the couch to call Rizie. ''Why is he such a snob?'' Cali could not help but silently comment. She did not like it¡­ With pouty lips, she dialed the reception number and ordered some food. She was talking at the reception when she heard Josh telling her his order. Cali added his order with a twisted face¡­ Then Josh directly looked at her and said, "I missed the biggest event of Rizie''s life. She must be really happy at this moment. Anyway, she told me that you will explain to me everything so fire it out while we wait for dinner. I want every single detail on what was going on here¡­" Cali gulped as she saw that serious look on Rizie''s brother. She blinked her eyes hearing and seeing the snapping on his finger in front of her. "Hey Cali right? So Cali¡­ I''m waiting? Are you going to stare like that at me? I know I''m handsome but you don''t have to make it so obvious you know¡­" "What?!" Cali burst out in shock. ''Darn!'' she cursed and chose to just begin with the narration instead of giving the brute the opportunity to brag more about himself. After narrating everything from the start, the first reaction she got from Josh was shaking his head while he looked at her from head to toe. "I''m not bragging but at the age of twenty one, I''m already managing the ranch and meat production not to mention that during my teenage days I got to help my grandpa at the ranch while studying. I gotta earn my own ways too¡­ Seriously? You''re just waiting for your inheritance? You can''t make it on your own without it? Are you kidding me?" Josh asserted in disbelief. "What are you saying? Of course it''s hard for me! I have grown up having everything I want. Why do I need to suffer and experience hardsh.i.p.s when I can easily have everything with a concrete plan? I mean¡­ Yeah it''s literally not my effort but still it''s under my name¡­ My parents saved it all up for my future so I''m already secured. It''s not like I am stealing it or something¡­" Cali grumbled. "Gosh¡­ It''s the first time I have met someone like you. Someone who is so scared not to live in luxury but not willing to follow her grandfather''s instructions when it comes to her lovelife. I mean why just don''t get that Dion for yourself instead. Well, I don''t like him for my sister anyway given his complicated situation like this. He might end up hurting my sister. Rizie is still young any way and she won''t mind losing another guy like before¡­" Josh suggested with still a grain of salt for his sister''s bullying before. Cali''s face crumpled while she firmly croaked, "He''s not my type! Besides, there''s no impact of his presence on me, you know, like butterflies in my stomach, thumping of my heart or the stopping of my heart and all¡­" Those words made Josh burst out in a fit of laughter. He could not believe he was hearing it from a twenty year old woman who was grown enough to live on a fairy tale and love stories. "So naive¡­ Why don''t you go inside a book and you will definitely experience those kinds of things¡­ Impact, butterflies¡­ heart thumping out? stopping? I believe those happen in cardiac arrest¡­ Try to do a lap tomorrow morning princess and your heart will definitely thump like this¡­ tsug¡­ tsug¡­ tsug¡­" Josh teased, stuttering with continuous laughing. Cali wanted to almost cry at that moment but instead, she unconsciously grabbed the pillow on the side of the bed where she sat and threw it as hard as she could at Josh''s face. She had never met a man old enough to be as bully as this bastard! She gulped seeing the dark face of Josh who was unable to dodge the pillow. "You''re so dead!" she heard Josh barked. Cali''s eyes widened seeing he stood up¡­ She closed her eyes and raised her two hands with peace signs and muttered, "So sorry!!!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He slept late after entertaining Rizie''s grandparents who kept asking him questions about his life, profession and every random thing they could think of. Rizie said that they were lucky that her siblings were not around but only her mother and grandparents were present that night. But Rizie had warned him to be prepared to meet everyone else the next day because her siblings would probably be arriving today. Cali requested Rizie to convince her brother to stay back with her in order to attend to her needs and look after her at night. Josh reluctantly agreed to this request when Rizie forced him to and stayed back in the hotel in a separate room right next to Cali''s. Though Josh was very upset about this weird demand of Cali, even Rizie was confused with that request of hers, but finally Rizie did manage to convince her brother to sleep there. Dion on hearing the continuous annoying knocks stood up from his bed sluggishly and walked towards the door and opened it with his half opened eyes. "Rise and shine dude! I missed my proper introduction last night but anyway it''s better late than never. Come and follow me. Let''s start our day with some warm up shall we? Follow me¡­" Dion almost stumbled on his feet when he heard the excited and energetic voice of Josh telling him to join for exercise. He looked at his wrist watch and asked Josh, "Can I have a quick shower and first get changed?" He wondered what kind of freaking warm up it would be such early in the morning. He was wearing his sets of pajamas if he was referring for an exercise. Josh shook his head and said, "Nah you can change there. Let''s go¡­" Dion gulped and quickly followed. He was getting nervous. His eyes widened as they walked out of the mansion. "You owe me a favor. Geez I can''t believe I would babysit a twenty year old grown up woman an entire night¡­" "Where are we going?" Dion asked as he rubbed his arms because when he felt the chills caused by the midnight morning breeze on his skin. He wondered if Rizie''s brother would freeze him to death as a part of something like an initiation? He gulped when they stopped into a barn. "Change into these." Josh muttered as he handed him clothes and boots. Dion stared at the clothes while Josh grinned. "That''s equivalent to your PPE in the hospital. Move faster. Our babies are hungry. You have to feed and clean all their dirt." Dion was flabbergasted, with dropped jaw he murmured, "You mean I have to clean their shi*t?" "Why? Are you complaining? Well if you can''t even do such a simple task when asked, then I guess you won''t last long in handling my twin¡­" Josh murmured with a twisted face. Dion snapped back to reality and quickly said, " Of course not. This is just a piece of cake¡­" He rushed towards the changing room to get ready. Josh was grinning ear to ear mischievously, as he prepared his mobile phone for a one in a million sight his dear sister could cherish... .......... Meanwhile, that same morning, Xander and Yera decided to visit the Lim''s Villa Resort, not just to check how Dion was doing but to also accept Xander''s dearest cousin Keira''s repeated offer to visit the resort owned by the family of her husband, General Zach Lim. "I can see Dion getting beaten up by The General¡­" Yera commented feeling bad how Dion must have been doing there. Dion absolutely had no win when it came to physical matters. Xander laughed and said, "Don''t worry¡­ That family is nice so I''m sure Dion is in good hands. Besides, I have already asked Keira to help Dion out." Keira along with Rizie''s eldest brother was also on their way to the villa to meet Rizie''s boyfriend. Xander intentionally did not tell Yera how angered Zach initially was when he found out that Rizie already had a boyfriend and the man did not even set his foot in her home first, to court Rizie with her family knowing. Keira already told him how Zach was a very conservative and a very protective brother but he did not dare inform Yera about it. Dion was already a grown up man and such simple matters should be taken care of by himself alone. Yera opened her car window to smell the fresh air from the countryside, where there were a lot of trees then she looked at her hand that Xander was holding. Such a good day to have a joyride with her husband as this. Hitting the road and visiting a beautiful place before she witnesses the final verdict on the Go''s case in the coming week. She flushed when Xander pulled in for a kiss, the hand he was holding and with a quick glance at her and a wink he said, "I love you darling¡­" Yera was giggling inside as she murmured, "I love you too¡­" In the midst of their travel, Xander''s mobile phone rang and it was Ralf. "Boss!!! Good news!!! The files¡­ The files¡­ it''s restored. That bastard''s files the police obtained in his hiding place are restored!" Ralf was almost screaming up to the top of his lungs. That instant Xander immediately pulled the car at the side of the road. "Boss the bastard had a video in which he had confessed about the person who hired him and the one who had helped him to hide. I think you and Madame should watch it. I will send you the copy of those videos right now. He had also detailed about where he had hidden the evidence for everything¡­ Boss..." Ralf''s voice was stuttering. After all the hardsh.i.p.s, they finally had something. He was almost crying as he delivered the news. Xander opened the video so both him and Yera could watch it. While the video played Yera watched in complete shock and Xander kept cursing, while Yera remained silent Xander was losing his composure with each passing second¡­ The culprit for her abduction¡­ The truth was finally out. She was still blank while she only stared in one direction. She could hear her husband''s voice insisting that the police should issue a warrant of arrest right at that moment but it would take at least twenty four or forty eight hours since the police were still validating everything and wanted the forensic evaluation of that video. They also needed to search for and verify the said evidence mentioned in the video. Her husband was still on the phone, using all his connections for a quick arrest... Yera tightly closed her eyes as tears started to drop down from them. She had turbulent emotions at that moment. She wanted to scream out loud¡­ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He felt like the smell was stuck in his nose and hands during breakfast. Josh had thoroughly enjoyed his moment as he kept on taking pictures and videos while commanding him to feed that, clean those, make sure there''s no more shi*t¡­ Dion sighed, now he knew his brother in law was so right when he said that he should do some workout and physical stretching exercising, but he avoided it because he was always in the hospital most of his day. "Where''s Josh¡­" Rizie''s mother asked. Rizie smiled and said, "Brother is out early to check the resort¡­" This time, it was Dion who grinned. Why? Because this morning, Rizie asked Cali why she was asking for Josh so often and Cali simply replied, ''That bully bastard should learn his lesson for being so rude. Can you please help me to bully him back Rizie?''. ''Make sure you bully him up to the highest level,'' Dion mused with a grin. Then his face suddenly became serious. His brother-in-law called this morning and updated him about the situation. His sister wanted him to continue his stay so that Rizie''s family could know him better, reassuring that his brother-in-law was taking good care of everything as well as her. He was somehow relieved that finally everything came to light about his sister''s abduction. "Try this¡­" Rizie''s mother offered a plate of a dish that interrupted his thoughts. Dion actually ate a lot because Rizie''s mother was undeniably the best cook¡­ "Auntie¡­ You really cook so well¡­ even better than my mom¡­" He complimented while he rubbed his stomach because he felt so bloated. "Thanks¡­" Rizie''s mother said. "How come you did not inherit that trait from your mother?" Dion whispered in Rizie''s ear that made everyone laugh. "Yeah too bad Rizie is a bad cook¡­" Grandma Terry seconded. After breakfast, Dion was invited by Grandpa Shen outside to walk for a bit. "Dion, my granddaughter can be stubborn and childish sometimes but I hope we can trust you with molding her since you''re older to her and more mature." "Yes grandpa¡­ I understand. I really don''t mind her. But I believe Rizie is more matured now¡­" Dion responded. Grandpa Shen laughed and said, "Yes, I can see she''s maturing cause finally she brought a man to meet her family. You''re the first man she had introduced to us, so I guess she has taken this relationship seriously now¡­" Earlier it was only Josh who would inform them that Rizie had a boyfriend and then later he would inform them that she broke up. He could not recall how many times Josh has reported to them that Rizie had a boyfriend and again broke-up. None of those boys ever reached their villa. Dion felt happy somehow knowing he was the first man Rizie took seriously. ....... At Lim''s Resort... ''That brute¡­ Let''s see who will laugh in the end¡­'' Cali mused as she looked at herself in the mirror. Last night she was triumphant in ruining his night with her acting. And today she would definitely pester him again all she wanted. "You deserve that for bullying Cali Lua!" She whimpered, remembering how sharp that tongue of the man with his words. She looked at the wall clock and quickly went back to bed. After some time, she heard the clicking of the door and heard footsteps¡­ Cali smirked before she weakly sat up and rested her back comfortably on the pillow. She touched her chest as if she was still in pain. "Don''t you need to go to the hospital?" Josh immediately asked, seeing how weak Cali looked. He inwardly cursed his twin and especially that Dion for giving him such a headache. One morning in the barn was not enough! That freaking Dion should clean all their barns alone next time around! Last night when Cali threw him the pillow and he stood up to walk to her, she suddenly started having a hard time breathing. Cali gave him a sweet smile as she muttered, "I''m fine really. I just need to relax¡­ This only happens when I get scared and usually it would get better after some rest¡­ Just a while¡­ I will just normalize my breathing¡­" Josh sat down on the couch and picked out the bento box he bought for her. He watched Cali inhaling and exhaling her breath as if she was doing some yoga. ''What a pain in the ass!'' Josh inwardly exclaimed. He waited until Cali finished what she called ''self healing''. "Let''s eat¡­" Josh commented. Cali did not respond but only gave him a reluctant smile as she spoke, "Josh I''m really sorry for the inconvenience I caused to you, but can you please help me eat. I should not move for an hour but my stomach is already grumbling¡­" "What?" Josh burst out as his mind absorbed Cali''s words. "The heck? Do you want me to feed you with my own hands? Are you a kid?" he hissed in disbelief. Cali''s face saddened and then she started with the height of her acting skills, with a sob her eyes started welling up indicating that her drum of tears would soon start leaking and would flood the room like last night. Josh, with an angry and irritated face, loudly exhaled all the air he could out of his lungs before he said, "Fine! Stop and don''t dare let those tears fall or I will leave you here alone!!!" ''Wow¡­ He had never met such a crybaby like this woman was. She acts like a kid at such a mature age! She behaves like a toddler at most! A twenty year old toddler!'' he irritably mused as he walked towards her and sat on the side of her bed. He scooped a spoonful of food and raised his arm to feed that toddler. Whenever he would look at the bento box to scoop a spoonful of the dish, he failed to see how Cali''s eyebrows were rising up including one corner of her lips. Cali intentionally coughed and Josh panicky ran to get some water for her. ''This is so much fun!'' Cali rejoiced inside as she suppressed her laughter watching how easy it was for her to manipulate the bastard Josh and catch him in her palms. A woman''s tear was really helpful. Good thing, she thought, that she did well in her acting class so faking a tear was a piece of cake for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dion had already met Lyra and her husband but it was the first time he would meet General Zach and his wife who was Xander''s cousin. Dion smiled as he extended his hand and introduced himself. He gulped when he felt the tightness and strength of Rizie''s brother while shaking his hand. "My hand please¡­" Dion whispered with a smile. "Stop that." he heard General Zach''s wife scolding him as she continued, "My cousin Xander said that Dion is a good boy so you don''t need to be hard on him okay¡­" Dion wanted to hug Keira, his brother-in-law''s cousin, for coming at the right time and saving him because just the cold look from General Zach was already freezing him and it looked like he wanted to eat him alive. Oh, he could describe it more like a ''shoot to kill'' look. "Hmm is that so. We will see later¡­" Zach commented as they all proceeded to the dining area for lunch. ''Later?'' Dion helplessly mused because he was worried about what was waiting for him later. Anything would do not just not the cleaning of barn with full of shi*t again. Meanwhile, Rizie shook her head while she observed how her brothers and brother-in-law salted and cooked Dion alive. First was Josh and now these two. Josh had sent her the clips of the video he shot in the morning. She was still sleeping when Josh took Dion with him and harassed him. Her twin was surely enjoying himself in avenging Rizie for all that she did with him and his girlfriends! Well, mused Rizie, as like even those days in the past Josh blamed Rizie for everything without realising that she did all those things because Josh often chose a bitch that was why she always protected him from such girls and was only saving him. "That brute¡­ He should thank me instead for saving his life from those bitches. How dare he bully my man...," she mumbled with a twisted mouth. "You men¡­ Stop asking Dion a lot of questions and focus on lunch first¡­" Grandpa Shen scolded and that very instant the two men started behaving. Rizie smiled seeing that because Dion was easily able to gain her mother and grandparents'' hearts since last night. Later at noon¡­ "Drunk people do not tell lies!" Rizie''s brother-in-law shouted as he excitedly put on hard drinks in front of Dion who was sitting beside Rizie. "What the heck¡­ Isn''t it too early for alcoholic drinks?" Rizie complained with a crumpled face. "Who said so?" Her brother interrupted with another box of beers placed at the side as he joined Torin on the seat in front of them. "Why? Can you not tolerate alcoholic drinks long enough?" Zach asked Dion with a straight face. "That''s okay¡­" Dion answered, forcing a smile. To be honest he was not aware of his alcohol tolerance since he rarely drank and whenever he does it often does not reach more than one bottle. "See? That''s the man! Alcohol is better that a lie detector machine!!!" Rizie''s brother-in-law stated with a grin. Pft¡­ "Geez¡­ I will leave you all then because I don''t wanna witness you freaking junkees altogether making a mess!!" Rizie scoffed because her brother and brother-in-law would become crazy when drunk and she did not want to witness these two''s craziness at Dion. "Call me once these two reach their limits and make unnecessary scenes¡­" Rizie whispered to Dion before standing up to go to Keira and her sister. She could not stop her brother and brother-in-law anyway so she would just leave and not witness those two harassing Dion. After hours¡­ Rizie checked the boys and her eyes widened seeing those three idiots dancing together while they passed the shots to one another¡­ "Ohhh! Let''s do a monkey dance this time!" Rizie''s brother-in-law shouted while he began to dance. "What the heck!" Rizie burst out seeing her brother and Dion following the dance. Rizie was too embarrassed to watch them being crazy so she immediately left the boys alone. But as she turned around, she almost bumped into her mother who grabbed her hand and turned her back to look at the boys with her. "Hmm, I think Dion is a nice boy and I can feel his sincerity towards you as a mother. See how he blended well with your entire family though he needed not to. He surely wants to please us all and gain our votes¡­ I''m impressed. He did not care about anything at all as long as he pleased the family of his woman." whispered Rizie''s mother followed by a chuckle as she watched the boys. "Geez look at your brother going overboard. Do you really think he''s already drunk? I never saw him act like that¡­ so carefree¡­" "It''s because he met a good partner. Seeing him more carefree is preferable than his reserve personality before." Rizie commented. "Hmm yes, it''s the same as seeing you in a finally serious relationship. Once you confirmed that you already love him, you should not let him go Rizie. Take that courage and I hope that you''ll be brave enough to fight the inner battle between your heart and mind¡­" Rizie smiled at her mother and reassured her, "Mom, please stop worrying about me. I will take note of your advice okay¡­ Shall we go now? My eyes are hurting watching those idiots for real..." Rizie pulled her mother out. Meanwhile Dion wondered when the two men would pass out. He could not tell how long he could last. He felt his stomach was already turning upside down with too much alcohol. ''How come those two are still standing?'' he mused but then he recalled that they were soldiers so their bodies were naturally physically stronger than his. "Looks like Dion will pass out soon¡­" Rizie''s brother-in-law commented. "No No I''m still good," Dion quickly replied and grabbed another bear as he energetically said, "Cheers! Let''s get wasted!" Dion did not want to let those two think of him as a weakling. He would make sure he would be the last man standing at the end of the day. Zach and his brother-in-law exchanged meaningful gazes as they watched Dion downing the beer¡­ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She was at the kitchen when Grandma Dan called her out to get the order of the new customer. She went out with a smile and said, "Good morning. Here''s our menu. You should¡­" She paused when she saw Lyndon turning his head up to her¡­ Lyndon smiled and said, "It''s nice seeing you well and happy¡­" He had been watching Jam from the distance as soon as he left the Life Hospitals group. They were doing an ocular at the province when he accidentally saw Jam with paper bags, delivering packed food at the nearby school. He couldn''t believe it at first but then he had it checked and his guy confirmed that it was really Jam whom he had seen that day. Jam, who was living a very simple life compared to how she used to live before. Jam, who was often smiling now compared to her eyebrows that were always in coalission. Realizing how he had treated her poorly, he felt too ashamed to even show himself in front of her. But then he could not help but to at least say a proper goodbye to her before he decided to do the right thing. Jam composed herself with the sudden surprise and continued, "Here''s our menu¡­" Like their normal customers. She detailed their best selling dish. She had stayed with the grandma who offered her a book that day. The book that inspired and encouraged her to move on and change herself to a large extent, though she must admit that she was still working towards progressing more because there were certain things that she was not ready to surrender especially now. Jam gave Lyndon a warm smile after receiving his orders. "It''s nice to see you too." Then she turned around and left Lyndon to give his orders to grandma Dan. Lyndon shook his head and followed with a satisfied smile as he confirmed himself that Jam was now alright. Jam on the other hand immediately leaned on the door she closed as she calmed her breath. "What''s with you?" she mumbled when she realized that she just ignored Lyndon like that and she did not even bother to ask how he was doing. She was too surprised to see Lyndon. ''How did she find me?'' was the first question that popped in her head, giving her that small hope that Lyndon somehow cared for her? But her inner self scolded her so she could stop hoping and expecting. That way she would not get hurt anymore. She filled her lungs with air and then exhaled loudly before she opened the door to walk back to Lyndon and directly ask him what he was doing at that place. She smiled and walked towards him but then paused as she saw a team of policemen cornered him. "Lyndon Chu. You are under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder of Miss Yera Han. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court¡­" The policemen handcuffed Lyndon and took him Jam''s eyes widened as she hysterically stated, "What''s going on? Why are you taking him? Where are you taking him?" They were already outside the restaurant. Grandma Dan was trying to hold and stop Jam who was following Lyndon. "Child¡­ Please calm down. This won''t do good to your baby¡­" Lyndon stopped walking and turned around to face Jam, "This is it¡­ It was bound to happen Jam. I wanted to take your advice and do what was right so I decided to surrender myself soon but then I guess this is a sign that maybe I might have again delayed that SOON and like before ended up not surrendering myself¡­ Don''t worry and live a happy life please¡­ I want you to be happy and I''m really sorry for everything Jam¡­ I am really sorry¡­" Jam was crying hard as she tried to follow Lyndon but she suddenly felt weak and then everything blacked out in front of her eyes. From a distance, Xander and Yera were inside their car and were watching and witnessing the entire scenario. Yera was still disheartened as she looked at Lyndon. Of all the people, Lyndon was the only person whom she still believed in. She could not understand at all why he would do it to her when she could clearly feel how sincere his feelings towards her were during that time. But then her thoughts were cut off when the grandma who was holding Jam was shouting for help. She immediately went out while Xander ran to carry Jam inside the car. "Oh please bring her to the hospital. She has a weak body and her baby¡­ Oh God her baby inside is trying its best to stay with her," the old lady hysterically informed as she kept on praying for Jam and her baby''s safety. Yera was taken aback with that information¡­ She did not expect to hear that. Xander drove the car while she and the old lady were inside while she was holding Jam. "You mean she''s pregnant?" Yera whispered. "Yes, she is in almost her fourth week of pregnancy now. She bled a few days ago and the doctor said that her baby was safe and grabbing hard onto her but because of her depression she could lose the baby¡­" the old lady explained as she grabbed Jam''s hands and whispered, "You have to stay strong child. Do you hear me? Your baby is fighting so you should fight for your baby too.." Xander, who was driving, looked at the rear view mirror every once in a while to check on his wife. His wife had conflicted emotions at that moment. Lyndon was not the only one to be arrested at that time but Jam was also considered an accomplice because she hid the man that Lyndon had hired for a long time, the leader of the gang who abducted Yera had clearly stated this in his recording along with the evidence. She had provided everything that the criminal would need to hide well. Jam knew all along that it was Lyndon who perpetrated Yera''s abduction, but she remained silent. Xander could feel how broken Yera was when she came through the truth, all he wanted for those two was to rot in jail forever. But looking at his wife now, Xander could only see compassion in her eyes as Yera stared at Jam¡­ Xander let out a sigh¡­ Jam did that because she was blinded by her love for Lyndon but still she had committed a crime by hiding a criminal. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She was stable now and the baby was surprisingly still in her w.o.m.b though it was still weak. She sighed¡­ The door opened and the grandma Dan entered with Jam''s clothes and things that she had left in the grandma''s house. "These are her things¡­" the old lady stated. She handed them to Yera. The old lady took one more look at Jam and whispered, "Be strong my child¡­ You''re with your family now¡­" Then she smiled at Yera and thanked her before leaving the room. Yera sat and put the bag at the side. She stared at Jam''s journal then opened it. There she read Jam''s frustrations. Jam wrote everything in there but what caught Yera''s attention was the letter that was clipped in one of the pages. Yera opened the letter. Her eyebrows creased seeing the letter was addressed to her. ///// Dear Yera, I''m not sure if this letter will ever reach you¡­ I must confess but I can''t stab Lyndon, I''m blinded with my deep feelings for him that I''m scared to see him behind bars. I''m probably in jail already while you read this letter. To be honest I was thinking of surrendering myself but something came up. I found out that I was pregnant so I got scared for my child and chose fate to decide how everything would turn out. I was hoping Lyndon would surrender himself too in his own accord¡­ I came to know about it just this year¡­ By accident¡­ That man happened to be lingering around the hospital and I noticed he was particularly looking at Lyndon. That same man I noticed to be lingering around Lyndon''s house as well. Yes, I did stalk Lyndon as soon as you showed up as Deyna Song. So I hired someone to take that man because I had a hunch that the man had some malicious agenda. There¡­ I found out everything. That man confessed that Lyndon was the one who instructed them to kidnap you but keep you safe, and he was also instructed to let you go once your grandfather surrendered all the rights to Lyndon. He said that the plan was messed up when you were shot by one of his men. That man was scared because he had messed up so he lived in hiding for years¡­ I offered that man security because I saw it as an opportunity to use, so that Lyndon could stay by my side. I thought I would have power over him knowing his weakness. Lyndon¡­ I think he meant no harm to you but something went wrong with the men he hired¡­ I know what he did is still unforgivable¡­ But I hope you can still consider¡­ I want to really apologize too because I hid that fact¡­ It''s like I''m part of the crime¡­ I''m willing to pay for it Yera, but please can you spare my child? As soon as I gave birth to her, I''m willing to pay for everything. I just want to make sure that my child will be safe and sound. I know that I have no right at all to request any such things from you, and you have all the rights to get me imprisoned for all the things I''ve done to you. Please know that I''m really sorry and regret the things I did before¡­ You have the right not to forgive me but please spare my unborn child. I only need nine months Yera please... ///// Yera felt her head would burst anytime soon as she folded back the letter. She stayed with Jam and had not seen Lyndon yet. She wanted to see Lyndon one last time to give him the opportunity to talk, to ask him herself the question that was haunting her ever since she came to know he was the one behind her abduction. The video that man left was very clear in which he had detailed everything how Lyndon found him and his gang and hired them for the task. The supposed to be a birthday celebration that night turned into a nightmare. Lyndon instructed them to kidnap her though there was no intention to kill her, still he committed a crime. He of all people was the last person she would consider as a suspect for that crime. The door opened and Xander entered. "How is she?" he asked as he sat beside his wife. Yera heaved a conflicted sigh before replying, "She''s stable now but the baby is still weak. She needs to stay in here¡­" Yera handed Xander the letter she found in Jam''s journal. Xander read it and afterwards commented, "What''s your plan now darling?" Yera stared at Jam and spoke, "I believe she had learnt her lesson and she is actually following the right path now. She is not scared for herself but she only wanted to protect her baby. Let''s heed her request and help her to have a safe and healthy delivery¡­ Then let''s see how everything goes after that. The way I see it, Jam wants to start a new and simple life with her child. She was sincere¡­ She feels regret and penitence¡­ Let''s see after the child is born if she''s still willing to pay for her crime then I will decide, by then..." Xander hugged his wife and whispered, "I think you should see and talk to Lyndon. He is requesting your presence¡­" Lyndon had confessed everything already. He was at the site when that man, the leader of the gang died. Lyndon insisted that there was one other party also chasing the man, the party who killed and ran the truck on the man at the road. Lyndon insisted that he did not kill the leader. He went there to convince the leader to come to him and not kill him. Xander planned to tell it to Yera but seeng how exhausted his wife was right now, he should let her rest first. Just when he thought that everything was finished now with Lyndon''s arrest¡­ But it turned out that there were still unsolved issues. Lyndon said that the man told him that one of his men might know something since that man was the one who fired that shot at Yera. That man was the patient X under his custody. However, patient X''s body was still not stable though a few movements in him were observed, he would still need to undergo another operation and another set of treatment to recover if fate had it for him... ''How come his wife''s case was too complicated¡­'' he mused with a heavy heart. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She paused at the door and let out a long sigh before signaling the policeman that she was now ready to enter. She walked in the room and saw Lyndon at the adjacent glass waiting for her. Yera sat down and looked at him, he stood there with his head slightly bowed. Yera knew why, because he couldn''t muster enough courage to look directly at her out of guilt¡­ "You asked for me¡­ Please make it short because whatever your reason is¡­ It''s still not going to be convincing enough to make your deed acceptable and important for you to break my trust like this. Of all the people in my family and professional circle, even my husband included you as their suspect, but me, I strongly believed that you could have nothing to do with it¡­" Lyndon bit his lips and slowly looked at Yera and murmured, "I know there''s no excuse enough to justify my wrongdoings. I asked for you because I wanted to personally apologize to you Yera. I''m sorry that I did not confess about it earlier to you¡­ I am sorry Yera. You don''t have to forgive me and I deserve whatever is coming my way¡­" Yera felt numb, she stood up with a straight face and turned around without a word at all. Before totally going out of the room she paused and said, "I think you should know this¡­ Jam is pregnant¡­ Four weeks pregnant¡­ I have decided to not file a complaint against her as your accomplice until her baby is born. She has a complicated pregnancy¡­ and without proper care she could easily lose her child." Without further adieu, Yera left Lyndon dumbconfounded with the unexpected news. "Jam is pregnant?" he mumbled, he was out of himself. Four weeks¡­ He knew he was the father because he was Jam''s first and the time frame when something happened to them that night. Lyndon covered his face with his palms as his shoulders dropped. He was going to be a father¡­ A father that his child could not be proud of. He had no intention to harm Yera that night. He loved her deeply and unconditionally. He had planned her kidnap for ransom. Yera''s grandfather wanted him out of the picture from Yera''s life. He wanted to cancel the engagement because Old Master Han had found out that their family was falling down. He was enraged because of it and wanted to teach the old man a lesson. He wanted to rob all his money and then used it against him afterwards. He was already fed up by how he and his family were being belittled by him every now and then, so out of options, he finally came up with the plan of kidnapping Yera and to ask for ransom. But things did not happen according to his plan. It all got messed up and Yera ended up dead. He was in delusion for years¡­ to the point of taking his own life but his parents needed him so he lied with a big burden at his back and in his heart. When Yera returned he was too grateful. Seeing her alive and well like that was like a blessing for him. He contemplated whether to confess to her and surrender himself to the authorities but he¡­ he was a coward who didn''t have enough courage to face his wrongdoings¡­ Lyndon cried and shouted inside as he kept hitting his head with his fist as hard as he could. If only he could turn back time but he couldn''t¡­ Yera saw Xander outside the detention center and the latter ran to her side to hold her hand. "Are you alright?" her husband asked. Yera nodded and murmured, "Yes I am, it''s just that I''m disappointed I guess. I really did not think that Lyndon could do that to me¡­" "Do you want to go somewhere?" Xander asked as they entered their car. Yera sighed and replied, "Let''s go home¡­ I feel so tired¡­" Yera felt exhausted and she wanted to stay home and feel the comfort of her husband by cuddling her in his embrace while she rested on her bed. ...... Meanwhile while everybody was busy with their own agendas, two people were playing hide and seek¡­ Senior Yang''s mobile phone kept on ringing while he kept on ignoring it, seeing the caller ID of Dion''s mother on his screen. He wanted to have at least one day''s rest by not seeing her just for a day. Why? Because she was really troublesome and bothersome. He sighed when the ringing stopped and went back to read back the book he was holding. He heard knocking on the door. "Come in¡­" One of his helpers went inside his library and informed, "Master, you have a visitor¡­" Senior Yang''s eyebrows collided because he was not expecting any visitor at all so why would Butler Gary let anyone in their mansion without informing him first. "Where is Butler Gary?" he asked the helper. "He''s in the living room Master entertaining your visitor." Senior Yang quickly rose from his chair to look who was the said visitor. As he was nearing the living room, he halted hearing a familiar laugh of a woman. "No way?" he whispered as he walked faster to see if he was right. To his horror, it was indeed Liz who seemed to be having a good chat with Butler Gary. "Oh, you''re here. You were not answering your phone so I got worried and just dropped by since I was near the area¡­" Liz stood up from the sofa and walked towards him, she casually pulled him and said, "By the way I brought you some cake and snacks. Show me the kitchen and dining area to prepare this..." Senior Yang twitched his mouth as he was pulled by Dion''s mother. He could not believe what was happening. Dion''s mother was just¡­ He could not even put the right words to describe her. He suddenly counted the number of days he would need to accompany her and be with Dion''s mother because he was not really feeling normal about it all... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Roy and Juliet were both hysterical as they entered the courtroom. Roy was shouting that he was innocent while Juliet was still hysterical insisting she did not kill her father. "Yera please¡­ You know how I loved father. It only saved him from further suffering. You should thank me, you bitch!" Juliet shouted at her while she struggled in the clutches of the policemen holding her. The judge signaled the doctor to give the two suspects a shot to calm them down. Xander embraced his wife close to him while he held her hand. The proceedings began from where the verdict was to be announced. "It was proven that the defendants Juliet Go and Roy Go were GUILTY¡­" Yera heard the words as the complete verdict was read. Tears fell continuously from her eyes. Finally, it was all over and done. Justice for her parents and grandfather was served. The Go''s both were given a life sentence in the prison. Both were shouting and were hysterical because they could not accept their sentence. "We should go¡­" Xander whispered to Yera as he held her and supported her to walk out from the courtroom. Hearing the verdict was enough for her and his wife did not need to witness those animals and hear their voices. Outside the courtroom, Yera hugged Xander tightly while crying herself out. Xander gently stroked her hair and patted her back. This should be an achievement for them but there would be another trial to wait for and Xander was confident to get justice in that trial as well. He was adamant on making Lyndon pay for what he had done. And he would not stop until he reached the end of it. He would search every corner of the earth to find that person Lyndon was telling about, the one who instructed one of the gang members to shoot and kill Yera if an opportunity opened. There were still a lot of loopholes like the recent accident with the truck that exploded. Lyndon firmly denied his involvement in other things except for her kidnapping. Little that the couple knew, a pair of eyes was observing them from a distance and the owner of this pair of malicious eyes was also present during the verdict. "You sure do have nine lives¡­ What an irritable bloodline¡­" the person in all black muttered with eyes directly at the couple. "Check that person in black at ninety degrees clockwise¡­" Ralf instructed on his radio. That person quickly moved out as soon as Xander''s security team noticed that suspicious person. And it went out as a chase. "What''s going on?" Xander asked as he witnessed some of his security in disguise was moving. "A suspicious person Boss.. Let''s head to the car first Boss," one of Xander''s men responded. The couple then proceeded to the parking lot. "What happened?" Xander asked as soon as they were inside the car. "Our men lost that person," Ralf murmured while he scratched his head. "Tsk.." Xander scoffed before he grabbed his mobile phone to call Dr. Black. "You should not push them hard¡­ Let''s just wait for the update." Yera murmured as soon as her husband ended the call. Xander would follow up the status of patient X every now and then daily and she was quite sure the doctors would be immensely pressured by this. But she could not blame her husband because he too was frustrated like her with the turns of events since it did not end with Lyndon''s arrest. Xander emitted a long sigh and uttered, "Yes I shouldn''t pressure them. Geez, that patient X is killing me though. He is our only hope at this point." ......... At Life Hospitals group office¡­ Dion was keenly watching the surgeries conducted by his sister in his wide monitor at his office. The one he wanted to perform was craniectomy. He had done one before but still with his sister''s supervision and he must admit he was not that confident in himself yet with this kind of procedure so he wanted to learn every detail minutely since brain surgery was the most difficult and complex one to handle. Only his sister was able to conduct a successful operation with such severe complications and all her patients were still living a normal life up to date post surgery, unlike the ones who were operated upon by other doctors and were left to live with some severe post surgical complications or worse ended up dead during or after surgery. Rizie entered his room and said, "I got good news¡­" Dion paused the video and with a smile commented, "Thank God¡­ Those sc.u.mbags will rot in jail¡­" Rizie laughed and nodded but then commented as she sat beside him on the couch while looking at the video he was watching, "Hmm you were sure it''s about the verdict but then yes the Go couple will rot in jail all through their lives. They deserved it." I observed that you''ve been watching these brain surgery videos too often lately. Do you have a schedule for it?" Dion shook his head and commented, "None yet but I would like to steal one from my sister¡­" Rizie frowned and turned to directly look at him with her stern face. "Hey don''t say it like that as if you''ll steal only a thing¡­ It''s a life you will have to steal back from the clutches of death, so you better be confident and not attempt it just because you wanna try to do some practice...:" Dion gulped and was lost for words. Rizie spoke like his sister at that point. He scratched his head and murmured, "Sorry¡­ I''ll be more sensitive next time." Rizie grinned and patted Dion''s head while she whispered, "Good boy. Now, let''s then talk about you and Cali." Rizie handed him a paper and said, "I made the schedule for you two wherein you can have casual meetings to make it look like a date in Mr. Lua''s eyes. You two should be done with the time I set. No extension of time or else you''ll be dead meat in my hands¡­" Dion got through the paper and chuckled. "What?" Rizie asked with knitted brows. "Nothing¡­ It''s just that I don''t think this is necessary¡­ To be honest I''m not comfortable at all." Dion commented. "It is necessary and I insist that you do this¡­ I want to help your family and I myself don''t want to see that old Lua ever again in the company, so make sure you kick that a*sshole out as soon as you and sis gained full management and power in Life Hospitals group." Rizzie firmly declared. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She herself prepared a few things for dinner and also invited Rizie and her father-in-law over. This month was like a blast and a lot had happened. There were bad and good things that happened at the same time. During dinner, Senior Yang kept sneaking a glance at Dion''s mother every now and then. He felt something was wrong with her behaviour. Why? Because Dion''s mother was suddenly ignoring him, as if he was not present around, since his arrival. ''What''s her problem?'' he mused a bit confused with her attitude. "Mom, how long are you going to stay? Sister has organised an event for me..." Dion asked his mother as they all gathered in the living room after dinner for some coffee. "I can''t son¡­ You know I have a lot going on and I suddenly left the business to come here¡­ But I will try to come every now and then once everything is settled," Liz answered because it was true that she had left a lot of things to rush with her son. "Hmm, how about I prepone the date. We have set it for next week. I want everyone to recognize Dion as the only heir of our family." Yera commented and looked at Rizie who nodded as an understanding since it was Rizie who would handle the said event. Dion sighed with the thought of another long week ahead of them. Cali said that her grandfather would soon be calling for another board meeting regarding the position of Vice Chairman and CEO. Cali said that she would do everything to convince her grandfather to have him in that position instead but they would have to be together often, just like the schedules made by Rizie. Dion looked at his sister and muttered, "Sis, I will go with mom when she leaves and will be back as soon as possible. I will actually suggest the same thing to prepone the gathering to an earlier date¡­" Rizie frowned because she was not aware of that. Yera on the other hand was surprised too. Dion smiled and said, "I have an important thing to attend to there and besides grandpa has asked for me. Right mom?" Liz awkwardly smiled but nodded, "Uhh¡­" It would be best that his son hid the truth of coming back to country V for everyone''s safety. ...... The next morning, Rizie served as an alarm clock for Dion and Cali pertaining to their schedule that morning where Dion and Cali were to have breakfast together inside Life Hospitals group''s head office so Mr. Lua could see it by his own eyes and hear it from the others also, since the gossip would surely spread and escalate in the entire building. Rizie no longer bothered even if the gossip reached her from any sources¡­ Because she knew that it was only for the show. The board meeting would soon be held and this was their best shot for Dion to get the position of CEO, so right now they must act and stage up everything properly. Days passed by and Dion continued to go out with Cali just as Rizie had planned everything. Surprisingly everything kept going on well whereas he became good friends with Cali and the same was true with Cali and Rizie. Cali was indeed a person with a very good heart though both him and Rizie agreed that Cali was a spoiled brat and way too immature at most. The board meeting was called very soon and the day of the board meeting arrived and as expected the main agenda of the meeting was the appointment of Vice Chairman and CEO position. Following the company''s policy, board members casted their suggestions. It was really a relief that everyone agreed to have Dion for the position so voting was just not needed. Rizie almost jumped from her seat but tried hard to control herself. Same went for Yera. Mr. Lua congratulated Dion with a handshake and pulled him in for an embrace as he whispered, "I expect a lot from you CEO Dion Han. I hope you won''t let me down." Dion knew those words of Mr. Lua had a double meaning, that the old hag did not expect only for managing the group well but taking care of his granddaughter as well as to become his grandson-in-law. ''In your dreams¡­'' Dion mused as he let out a forced smile. "I will ask Cali to celebrate with me later," Dion muttered instead, a script prepared by Rizie that she clearly reminded him to say in case they would succeed in getting the Vice Chairman and CEO position for him. A wide grin appeared on the old man''s face, satisfied with Dion''s answer he responded, "Good then. Cali said you will not disappoint me¡­ I will definitely see to it what you really want¡­" Dion only smiled before turning to the other board members to thank them for their support. He exhaled a sigh of relief as soon as he was back in his office¡­ Rizie after locking the door immediately pounced at him and hugged him tightly. "We did it! We did it!" she energetically burst out. "Can we celebrate instead? I want to celebrate with you not Cali!!" Dion mumbled with pouty lips. Rizie pulled out from his embrace, looked into his eyes and said, "Of course we will." "But you said Cali¡­" "Nah, Cali has her own plans. That brat is enjoying herself in bullying my twin and even is asking for my help, so later you will just pick her up and she will be with your body double." "You mean Josh? How?" Dion could not believe it at all. "Did he travel here to the city? I thought he couldn''t leave the villa because of his resort?" He asked in a row. Rizie smirked and said, "Well I have my own ways in convincing that bully in doing things, so stop frowning because we will celebrate together okay?" Dion gave Rizie a nose to nose kiss followed by a kiss on her lips. He felt too lucky to have such a reliable and understanding partner that Dion now wanted to proceed towards the next step of asking her for marriage. He found it difficult to live without her even for a few hours now. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Something was really off. He wondered if he had done something to offend Liz because he was ignored by her brutally the whole evening, though not totally since the latter would casually answer him whenever he initiated and asked something. It was just entirely different because the woman had been pestering him for days now without a leave. He looked at his mobile phone and murmured, "Weird¡­" Because usually his mobile phone would be flooded with text messages from Liz asking what he was doing or acting like an alarm clock often reminding him about their meeting and the things she would like to do with him or the places she wanted to go to. ''Maybe I should call her once and ask how she is doing?'' he mused, contemplating whether to dial Liz''s number or not. In the end he chose not to do it. Senior Yang sighed and grabbed his book thinking he should be grateful instead because finally he could have his long lost privacy somehow. ''What is wrong with me? I should be glad that the woman is no longer pestering me,'' he tried to convince himself. But then another sigh escaped his mouth as he closed the book and decided to walk outside in the garden. He felt the day was too long and to be honest he was kind of feeling bored¡­ Or perhaps it was because he had gotten accustomed to Liz''s energetic vibes as she would always linger around him and actively keep doing a lot of things together. Senior Yang didn''t realise when he started liking that whirlwind type woman hovering in his space around him and had started to take the air of loneliness away from him... Meanwhile, at Han Mansion, Dion was getting ready to accompany his mother shopping for some gifts and mementos that she wanted to bring with her when she went back to country V. He too wanted to buy some presents for their helpers, grandfather and some very close relatives and friends of his. While they were window shopping, Dion could not help but ask, "How come it''s not uncle Yang that you brought with you today instead it''s me? Also I noticed last night you were being too casual towards him, giving him no special attention whereas from the day you met him you were acting shameless with him, as if you two were already so close¡­" Liz laughed at her son''s direct words and replied, "Well, I bet that old man is also thinking the same way right now. I''m sure he might be too restless thinking if he had done something wrong or wondering if something is wrong with me for suddenly acting so indifferently." "What? Are you saying you intentionally did that? You schemed the entire scene?" Dion burst out, confused as he continued, "Why?" Dion''s mother looked at the glass showing the dresses and pointed at a dress and asked Dion, "Is this a nice color? Do you think James will like it?" Looking more confused, Dion asked, "Huh? You will buy uncle Yang something too?" "Of course¡­ And you should practice calling him dad now, you know¡­" Liz shamelessly declared. "What the heck mom?!" Dion raptured with a crumpled face. "What? I told you about it before so don''t act so shocked like that. You''ll see¡­ My estimate is that by tomorrow that old man will come knocking at Han''s mansion pretending as if he wanted to visit his son and daughter-in-law but the oldie would actually be coming in because he would just want to see me. he would come to check how I am doing and the rest will go according to my plans¡­ I will have him under my alm." "I really hate to discourage you mom but uncle Yang is not such an easy man like you think he is¡­ Heed my advice and you better don''t expect too much from him mom, so that in the end you''ll not be too disappointed¡­" Dion quickly dodged because he expected that his mom would hit his head. But he did not anticipate that she would pinch his sides. "You brat! You should support your mom in this fight. Don''t you know that your mother is a love expert!" It was true that she was good in getting the heart of an opposite s.e.x. She could actually get Yera''s father if she wanted to at that time, but she knew it was wrong so she did not do that. She had many suitors all through her life, asking for her attention and proposing through families even, but she refused to enter a relationship in order to focus entirely on Dion alone. Besides, there was no one who could steal her attention at all except for Yera''s father in her youth and surprisingly Xander''s father now, whom she had met so late in her life. But age was not significant in matters of love. Moreover, which justice system ruled that she could not have the second chance she deserved in love because of her age? "You see¡­ maybe ignoring him a little would give him time to understand his feelings about me. He will be able to understand if he enjoys my company or not. He can realize what I mean to him in this short span of time. Well, I''m not saying that he will fall in love with me right away but what I''m almost sure is that he will at least realize if he even likes me enough to miss my presence and my undivided attention towards him¡­" "Alright mom, let''s see if what you''re doing is effective then¡­" Dion scoffed seeing the frowning of his mother at him. "Stop frowning mom. Remember it adds wrinkles on your beautiful face¡­" Hearing the word wrinkles, Liz immediately touched her face and stretched her lips in a wide smile. She often kept a smiling face so she would look and stay young. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Keira was about to give birth and he wanted to make sure she was looked after properly and was safe. As soon as he entered, he heard Keira screaming and cursing her husband over the phone because of the pain she was experiencing. As soon as her ob-gyn doctor confirmed that Keira''s vitals were all alright, Xander left the room. Outside, he shook his head as he imagined his wife giving birth and cursing him like that¡­ Saying she would kill him because of the pain. Xander''s face twitched at the thought of all that, but the excitement of being a father made him grin. He saw Zach running towards the delivery room with anxiety written all over his face, he did not even notice Xander waving at him. "He must be too excited being a father this soon," he mumbled with a smile as he followed Zach''s back. He got startled when he felt someone''s arms on his shoulders. "Why are you envious my Dr. CEO?" He.heard Rui''s teasing voice. Xander''s face twisted and asked, "Are you a mushroom? Where did you come from?" Rui laughed and said, "I was just passing through the hallway and happened to see you. By the way, how come you still couldn''t bake a bun in the oven? Don''t tell me your little buddy is in the dysfunction mode again?" Xander abruptly threw away Rui''s arm from his shoulders and boastfully grunted, "It''s in fact hyperactive dear Dr. Rui. By the way, I need to talk to you about something, so please follow me in my office." While Xander was talking to Rui, he received a call from his father so he immediately received it. "Yes dad?" he asked while Rui signaled him that he needed to scoot out. Xander nodded. "What is it dad?" Xander asked, suspecting something as he heard his father sigh at another line. "Well¡­ How about you guys have dinner at our mansion tonight?" Senior Yang suggested. Xander was a bit surprised because they just met each other recently. "Hmm, alright¡­ I will check with Yera and get back to you dad." "Oh bring Dion and Rizie too. They haven''t been in our mansion till now right? I can tour them around here. Xander heard his father add that and his lips lifted up in the form of a teasing smirk when he realized what actually his father wanted to do. Something was fishy so he intentionally said, "Hmm,okay I will ask Dion." Senior Yang twitched his mouth. How come his son be so clueless and did not mention Dion''s mother who was living with them only? "Dad I''ll call you back if Yera, Dion and Rizie are available tonight," Xander reiterated with a grin, waiting if his dear father would cut the crap or not mention anything at all. There was a moment of silence and Xander heard a sigh from his father so he asked, "Dad what''s wrong? You do know that you can confide in me, just like I do in you about everything, so you can also say about anything, including your love life¡­" "You brat¡­ What do you think of yourself? You''re still on the way but I''m on my way back on the paths you are yet walking¡­.so no thanks¡­ I can handle my things myself, and you just work hard and focus on giving me my grandchild. Geeez¡­." Senior Yang mumbled. "Anyway, bring Dion''s mother too if she is available." Senior Yang hastily said before immediately ending the call. Xander shook his head hearing the ending tone. His father did not even give him a moment to counter his sentence. He immediately typed a message to his father¡­ [You''ve been in hibernation for too long dad¡­ So you''re not aware that the paths have changed considerably and your on your way back analogy - is not applicable at all today¡­] "That brat!" Senior Yang exclaimed after reading his son''s message who was obviously teasing him. Xander called Yera to inform her about the dinner and he also informed her about Keira''s delivery. Yera was glad to hear it and immediately went to his hospital to pay Keira a visit. At the hospital, Yera almost met all of Rizie''s family who were also present to visit Keira. It was a good thing that Yera arrived at Keira''s private room with Rizie. So Yera took the initiative to invite Rizie''s entire family to lunch in a private restaurant near the hospital, owned by Keira''s friend so they could have an exclusive lunch. "Rizie, did you call Dion?" Rizie''s mother asked as they seated. Rizie looked at Yera because Dion was having lunch with Mr. Lua and Cali at that moment. Rizie excused herself and called Cali instead. "Don''t worry sis. I''ll send Dion over now." Cali reassured. "Are you sure?" Rizie reconfirmed. "Yes. Is Josh present there sis?" Although a bit confused with the question, Rizie answered, "Yes. Why?" "Hmm, you see I need to enter the restaurant too¡­ Josh can introduce me as his girlfriend so my presence won''t get awkward with all your family?" Cali suggested because she would need to stay longer inside for she was sure her grandfather would have them monitored outside the restaurant. Rizie let out a long sigh before going back inside. Dion needed to keep the bargain and pretend to be in a relationship with Cali until she turned twenty one. Rizie took it as an opportunity too to get Mr. Lua''s trust on Dion so he could be supported by the board members under Mr. Lua. Until they found anything concrete and huge enough to bring Mr. Lua down, Rizie thought that being on the good side of the old man would be better so she encouraged Dion to coax the old man. They could at least try that technique since Cali insisted that her grandpa''s only weakness was her. After some time, Rizie looked at the door because Cali messaged her that they were almost there. She smiled seeing Dion entered with Cali. "Who''s with Dion?" Rizie''s mother asked when she noticed Dion approaching their table with a beautiful girl beside him. Yera''s eyes widened and she looked at Rizie who smiled and said, "Oh that''s Cali...You haven''t met her right. She was in a meeting with Dion and Josh happened to ask her to go here directly¡­" "Josh?" Rizie''s mother asked, totally confused. Josh was not there yet but he called saying he was not very far from them and would soon arrive. "Yeah, she''s Cali¡­ Josh''s new girlfriend. It''s a long story mom let me summarize it while Josh is still not here." Rizie laughed and introduced Cali first to the family as she began a fabricated story about how Josh and Cali met. "Such a small world," Grandma Terry commented, amazed how such incidents occurred. Cali gave all eyes on her, a sweet and warm smile as she said, "it''s really nice to finally meet all of you. Josh says a lot of good things about his family and it''s really heartwarming and inspiring." Yera and Xander were both dumbconfounded at the sight that they could only keep their mouth shut. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Sis, you have a craniectomy later right? Can I be your assistant?" Dion asked as he visited his sister''s clinic. Yea smiled and nodded. "Tell Shaira and Dr. Xiao about it¡­ Dr. Xiao will surely be happy in slacking off. You just saved his butt but ask him first¡­" Yera simply said. "What are you eating?" Dion asked when he smelled something fishy. Yera laughed and said, "Oh shrimp paste¡­ and green mangoes¡­ You want? It''s good." "For real? Eww isn''t that sour?" Dion commented with a twisted face. Yera only laughed and continued with eating. "By the way, are you sure Rizie is okay with what''s going on with you and Cali? I mean you both are very popular as a couple and the gossip market about you and Cali is very hot in the hospital." Yera suddenly recalled she had to ask her brother. She and Xander were so awkward during the last meal they had with them together with Rizie''s family. Dion let out a long sigh and said, "She herself is the one planning everything about me and Cali, sis. I tried to stop her and said there''s no need for this but it seems she has decided to join hands with Cali in this since Cali is very confident that this is the best way to get everything back from her grandfather. Cali said I have to attach my name with her''s in public''s eyes and pretend nicely because her grandfather is dying to get me to his side¡­ If I''ll be able to get his trust, I can soon get more shares from him." "Nah¡­ That old man is a cunning fox. He will only sell shares when you marry his granddaughter so stop this nonsense before it gets out of hand¡­ Moreover, I don''t like this idea at all. I too will talk to Rizie about it¡­" Yera scoffed. She was not comfortable with this plan since it started. "Yes sis, please talk to Rizie and convince her because I really did try my best. She''s handling my entire schedule as she wishes and even puts me on the spot. Geez, I''m a doctor not a poker actor and that Mr. Lua is really getting on my nerves now, so much so that even a poker smile takes me a long time to perfect in front of him." Dion pleaded. Just the sight of Cali''s grandfather wanted him to puke but he had to treat him well because reality was that it was the need of the moment. While Dion was speaking his heart out, Yera''s mobile phone rang and he saw it was Xander calling her. After the call ended Dion commented, "It''s nice that you two can go out together whenever you want." They both were going to have lunch together and had been open with their relationship and did not mind the eyes of others at all now. Yera laughed and said, "That''s why I told you to stop with such absurd game ideas the three of you are having... We will figure something out soon so be patient okay? See how nice it is to go out openly with the person you are in love?" Yera stated, making her brother intentionally jealous. Xander and her would formally announce their intended wedding ceremony as well at Dion''s party. There was no point in hiding their relationship anymore so the two did not bother to meet disguised like before¡­ Dion''s face contorted. He was obviously frustrated¡­ Yera suddenly recalled something and asked, "Your friend from country V. The one helping you out with hacking, Vin? Do you think he can help us into something? Ralf is on it already but it seems like they are having a problem digging for those deleted files from our system. Lyndon said that those files can help as evidence against Mr. Lua that''s connected to the VIP floor¡­" "Oh yeah Vin is quite good also. I will contact him about it¡­" Dion commented. His friend was actually a mysterious person, and he himself did not know his real identity. It just so happened that Vin felt indebted to Dion for saving his life once and then their friendship started since then and they gradually became close like brothers. "Alright. Your bro-in-law is waiting already. I''ll go and have lunch with him. See you later¡­" Yera said as she stood up to leave while Dion followed. Xander took Yera to a restaurant not far from Life Hospital. "What''s that smell?" Yera exclaimed as she sniffed her husband sitting beside her. "What? What smell?" Xander confusedly asked. "I told you not to use any perfume, all your perfumes stink and irritate my nose! Why can''t you get a better perfume darling?¡­" Yera irritably hissed. "Uhm but I did not use any¡­" Xander defended as he smelled himself then added, "Oh, it''s probably because the lab gown I reused when I did some rounds in the wards. The scent probably lingered in my polo. How come my perfumes suddenly started smelling stinky while you loved that smell earlier?" Yera''s mouth twitched and said, "That was a different smell, not this one, you must have started a new deodorant without telling me. Just stop using it or don''t ever come near me¡­" Xander scratched his head as he watched his wife continue eating. Lately, he noticed she was becoming moody, not to mention that she had become a glutton, getting hungry and eating every now and then, that too lots of junk food, not her usual routine at all. Then Xander''s eyes suddenly brightened while he said, "Darling¡­ I think we should see a doctor. Oh wait..." Xander grabbed his mobile phone and opened an app. Yera''s eyes widened and in disbelief burst out, "You keep a track of my menstrual cycle on the app?" Xander reddened and grinned. "Hmm, it says here you''re supposed to have your period next week¡­ I guess this is too early to speculate. In the meanwhile let''s work harder in the coming days." Yera''s face twisted and said, "Geez¡­ Maybe it''s just that I''m frustrated lately and eating actually helps me to release stress. But you do have a point, as I can feel my nose has become sensitive to many kinds of smells. But as of now lets keep this with us only, okay? Don''t you dare tell father also¡­ I don''t want him to get his hopes high for nothing. Let''s confirm things first before spreading the word¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

His scans and other examinations showed that his head injury needed an immediate and major operation that only Yera was perfect in performing. Yera was out of the hospital so Dion attended the said patient and called Yera to reach soon and ordered the staff to start preparing for the surgery. Yera was panting when she arrived inside the operating room. She saw Dion preparing for the surgery as the head surgeon as he told her on the call. "Are you confident about it?" Yera asked Dion who smiled and nodded. Yera heaved a long sigh and signaled Dion to continue in scrubbing his hand. Dion entered the operating room as the head surgeon while Yera was the assisting surgeon in the surgery. "This is Dr. Dion Han and I will be the head operating surgeon. The nurses and doctors inside were caught off guard but none commented. The nurse relayed the current condition of the patient while the anaesthesiologist confirmed that the patient was ready. Dion began with the operation while Yera monitored her brother closely. She smiled seeing how meticulously Dion mustered everything flawlessly. It was a complicated operation and she was worried at first, but seeing how her well brother was performing the surgery and how he paid attention to each and every tiny detail she taught him, she felt really proud of him. The operation lasted for several hours but it was a successful one. Yet it was too early to rejoice because the patient''s status needed to be monitored for the coming couple of hours. Dion went out of the operating room and faced the wife and daughters of the patient who were anxiously waiting for any information with bulging red eyes that was most probably because of hours of crying. Dion smiled and said, "the operation is successful but we have to¡­" That instant the wife slumped on the floor and sobbed as she kept saying, "Oh God thank you. Doctor thank you¡­ Thank you so much you saved him¡­" Same went with his two daughters who were still in their school uniforms, they mumbled with a cry, "Dad is alive Doc right?" Dion helped the wife to get up as he nodded to the kids and whispered, "yes dad is alive and you all will see him soon so you two must behave well so he''ll be happy as soon as he opens his eyes¡­" Dion tried his best to compose himself and control the tears that were starting to build up in his eyes. This was the feeling¡­ the feeling that he wanted to experience a lot¡­ Saving lives and helping people like this¡­ He wanted to continue living like this. Yera watched her brother with a satisfied smile. ''He looks so happy and achieved¡­'' she mused. When the patient''s family left, Yera patted Dion''s shoulder and said, "I guess I can enjoy a lot of vacations now¡­ Since you can cover for me everytime¡­" Dion grinned and said, "Nah¡­ You can as early as tomorrow sis. Enjoy my brother-in-law and I will handle everything from here." Yera laughed. How nice it would be to go out of the country with her husband. Evening came and Yera was picked up by Xander. "Hmm, it''s not the way home. Are we going somewhere else?" "Yeah¡­ I want to date my wife this evening¡­" Xander answered with a grin and added, "We have a bucket list of things you wanna do so we will do them little by little." They stopped at a private port and Yera blushed as she recalled that she had mentioned to Xander that she wanted a date in a private yacht with him since the first date that she had on a yacht was a nightmare with Lyndon where she ended up getting kidnapped. "I will remove all the memories and nightmares about your yacht date and replace them with good memories darling¡­" Xander whispered in Yera''s ear before the couple boarded the yacht. Yera crinkled her nose and blushed seeing how romantic her husband was to think of this idea. There were petals everywhere and at the center was a table, where a candlelit dinner was prepared, on the yacht deck. with a beautiful view of the city and the sky as the yacht moved further. The romantic music was so enticing that each action of her handsome husband started sending waves of happiness in her. Yera was overwhelmed with the romantic ambience and the pampering by her husband who had arranged the best meals that were all her favourite for the dinner. She enjoyed every bite of everything thoroughly. Xander had some wine but he had Yera served with fresh fruit juice instead. "Why?" she asked with knitted brows. "Well you must be careful now. We don''t know yet if you are pregnant or not. Yera grinned and drank the fruit juice then commented, "Hmp, don''t expect too much alright it''s too early and we will get disappointed if it did not end up as we expect it to be. Xander with a mischievous grin teased, "Well we can always work on making it happen, like tonight¡­" Yera twitched her mouth and grumbled. "You pervert." Xander laughed and he suddenly stood up from his chair and offered his hand to Yera, "Mrs. Yang, would you like to dance with me?" Yera smiled and accepted her husband''s hand for a dance. "It''s the prom night compensation that you missed¡­" Xander whispered in her ear as she felt him pull her waist and body close to his. She placed her arms on his neck as Xander began swaying. "Geez¡­ You should have let me change into a gown first so it could be more realistic¡­" Yera commented with a grin. "Nah, no need, I will eventually only remove it soon, so no need of wasting any energy in changing into a gown¡­" Xander seductively whispered in her ear. "You''re such a naughty husband huh?" Yera murmured with pouted lips as she turned around to show her fake anger to him but Xander grabbed her from behind and dragged her into his embrace, keeping his head on her shoulders he hugged her waist from behind and locked her in his arms. Yera also leaned her head on her husband''s chest and clung tightly onto him. She wanted to feel his warmth against the cold breeze brought by the sea. She felt blissful and blessed to be in this place with the most handsome man who not only was her husband but also loved her deeply. Yera lifted her head and saw the handsome face of her husband. She gently touched his lips and murmured, "You have successfully replaced my nightmare with sweet memories like this. That''s so nice of you darling and I really appreciate it. Thank you¡­" Xander chuckled lightly and grumbled in affirmation and started swaying with the music slowly and seductively, moving his hands all over her front and sending shivers down her spine. The music was very deep, slow and romantic. Yera was unable to stand strongly on her legs. Xander wrapped her in his arms and inhaled her scent with his face on the crook of her neck. Yera could feel the heat in his breath and when the cold wind from the sea hit her face, her senses told her that she needed her husband to be more close to her and provide her with warmth all over her body. She turned to face him and leaned in to seal her husband''s lips passionately... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

After a while Yera pulled back from his lips and said, "Mr. Yang, thanks for the prom dance with me. I would never forget this lovely prom night on the deck of the yatch." Xander lifted his brows and smiled, with eyes filled with mischief he said, "Welcome beautiful, but don''t you think there must be some reward for making a beautiful young high school girl so happy?" "Was that kiss not enough reward for a dance Mr. Pervert?" Yera exclaimed when she sensed the meaning of his words. Xander rubbed the back of his right hand on her cheek and playfully said, "Beautiful lady, a kiss is not the reward, in fact it is just the starting of a reward any man would take from such a gorgeous beauty in front of him." Yera gasped and flicked his hand from her waist and ran away from him. Seeing this, Xander ran behind her, caught her and smirked before saying, "Wife, if you are trying to test the patience your husband has, then let me tell you¡­ I can not keep any more restraint when you are in front of me. You seduced me and now you are going to pay for it." Yera on the other hand laughed out loudly and said, "I am waiting for this punishment darling, but wouldn''t your wife mind you punishing me in such an extraordinary manner?" Xander was flabbergasted on seeing her role playing mode, seeing his looks, Yera seductively smiled and kissed his neck and then licked him there. Xander gasped heavily and with one hand tightened his hold on her waist and moved his other hand to rub on her b.r.e.a.s.ts and cupped one of her soft balls of butter and squeezed it. Xander and Yera started the game of foreplay on the deck of the yacht and while Yera used her hands to open a few buttons of his shirt, Xander slid his hands under her crop top and got hold of her b.r.e.a.s.ts and pinched on her n.i.p.p.l.es. He could feel the hardness of her and the intensity with which she wanted him. Yera on the other hand, kissed him all the way from his neck, licking and kissing his fair beautiful skin came down to his strong chest. She was panting with pleasure at what Xander was giving him, yet she didn''t want to surrender in front of him by showing her weakness. Xander whispered in his hoarse voice, "Darling, agree to come inside the cabin with me or else I will punish you right now and right here." "Mr. Yang, does this behaviour suit your status in any way? What would you do to me once I agree to come into the cabin with you." Yera continued her act and said, smirking at her husband who seemed to look frustrated with not getting what he wanted. Xander then pushed Yera to rest her back on the railing and abruptly slipped his hand inside her skirt and pushed his two fingers inside her cave and thrust them deeply. His actions were very fast and sudden and Yera was caught off guard by him. Her eyes widened, gasping, she looked around and saw a few staff members walking at a little distance from them. She immediately forgot her act and looked at him with pleading eyes. Xander moved his fingers making her whimper and she then dared not move even an inch from her place. "So beautiful woman, have you remembered who my wife is and how jealous she behaves when I come close to anyone else other than her?" Xander asked her. Getting no response from her, he thrust his fingers again and this time a little more deeper and with faster movements, making Yera fl.u.s.ter and pleading to him. "Darling, please not here, see those staff members, those waiters can come here anytime¡­ ahh!! Please¡­" "So, who is my wife?" "I am¡­ ummhh¡­ I am sorry..." Xander again thrust his fingers in her and said, "Next time you tease me darling, I will finish the act and not spare you." Xander pulled out his fingers and pressed his lips against hers and kissed her deeply. Yera was already feeling weak in her knees and his kiss made her desire for him rise to sky high. "Please darling, let''s go inside the cabin." She pleaded to Xander. Xander immediately carried his wife inside their cabin. "Darling, why do you have to tease me in such a way and make me lose control and want you like I want nothing else in my life¡­" Xander muttered with a devious grin as he gently placed his wife on the bed. "You will have to pay for your mischief now darling..." Yera teasingly whispered as she pulled her husband''s neck and had him on top of her while she kissed him carelessly, making Xander whimper for more from her. His wife was feasting on his upper and lower lips alternately before it went all the way into deepening her kiss. Xander thought his lips would swell with the longest sucking his wife did on his lips. He could not even interrupt her and he could only m.o.a.n in enjoyment. His wife seemed to be transformed into a wild tigress suddenly? "Darling let me unbutton my sleeve. No need to tear it like that," Xander huskily whispered as he got an opportunity to breathe when Yera''s lips spared him for a few seconds. Yera did not listen and continued tearing his sleeves apart as she wanted to feel the heat of his skin mingle with hers. She even rolled over him and undid his pants. Xander was breathing heavily as the soft touch of his wife sent sensations of ripples of excitement and passion in his entire body. Ecstasy filled his body with his wife''s rough but sensual actions. He was breathless as he watched his wife strip in front of him effortlessly with an evil grin on her face. Xander blinked several times making sure it was really his wife on top of him. "Since when did you learn grinning like that?" he unconsciously voiced out. Yera wrinkled her nose and seductively bent down on his face and whispered in his ear, "I learnt it from you¡­ Where else?" Xander shivered as his wife breathed and playfully licked his earlobe.

Skip the chapter if you''re not comfortable¡­ Thanks¡­] Xander growled as Yera''s lips began trailing on his jawline to his neck, collarbone and then chest where she lasted long while she licked and kissed and sucked on his n.i.p.p.l.es and made him ask for more and more... It was torturing for him now as he could feel the dripping down in between his thighs with the sensual and ecstatic feeling his wife was sending throughout his body by simply sucking, licking and nibbling with his n.i.p.p.l.es alternately. She seemed to enjoy it while her fingers would tease the other protruded n.i.p.p.l.e of his. Xander groaned in enjoyment but Yera paused. Xander opened his eyes and looked at his wife who was chuckling as she winked. Then she suddenly grabbed Xander''s member, gently stroking it, which made Xander gulp. Yera intently stared at him while she rubbed him as if checking the expression on his face well whether he was enjoying it or not. "Darling¡­ Do you enjoy the hand or the mouth?" Xander heard Yera ask out of nowhere. Xander almost choked at that question and could not answer that instant. Yera grinned seeing her husband was in deep thought. "I will give you a demonstration so you can compare and tell. How about that?" Xander was about to answer but before he could find words and put it in his mouth, Yera was quick and crawled down in between his thighs and she started to do his member with her mouth first and then she stopped and replaced it with her hands. Xander did not know how to react but the result was just the same. He was soon about to reach his climax and he did not want it to happen outside and waste this opportunity of planting his extraordinarily handsome genes in her w.o.m.b for fruiting as soon as possible! Xander gently pulled his wife and rolled over as he pinned her down under him. Pressing her down, gaining control of the session, he lay on top of her and said, "You are teasing me darling¡­ Do you know what I enjoy the most? Not your hand or your mouth but being inside you¡­" Xander whispered with a hoarse voice as he began to move between Yera''s thighs for one strong deep thrust after confirming his wife was ready. Yera m.o.a.ned as she felt her husband inside of her, gently thrusting inside her, that gradually fastened. She wrapped his neck with her soft arms while she kissed him and joined his rhythm, sending sparks of love in both their bodies as both reached their pinnacle together. Yera hugged her husband tightly and Xander felt it was hard to breathe so he gently moved and whispered, "Darling I can''t breathe¡­" Yera immediately loosened her grip and snuggled into her husband''s warmth as soon as Xander was beside her. Xander chuckled because it was usually him who would embrace and hug his wife tightly as soon as they reached their climax. This time he could sense his wife was very clingy. "The party is tomorrow and we will announce our marriage ceremony at the party. I''m too excited¡­" Xander whispered with a smile. Yera chuckled. It was decided that the next day, at Dion''s party, the announcement about their relationship would be made making it look like she and Xander were just engaged and would soon have their marriage ceremony, since the secret marriage they had was not known to others. "Yes me too. I hope Dion clears everything about Cali and himself and let Mr. Lua know the truth because I''m afraid Mr. Lua will also prefer to take the opportunity tomorrow to formally announce or probably request rather force Dion to formally announce his so-called relationship with Cali, though I could be wrong¡­" Yera voiced out her mind. She then lazily snuggled closer and buried her face on her husband''s neck. "Hmm, I''m sure Dion will not let it happen. Anyway, I''m really excited to announce our marriage and I will not let that Mr. Lua take away our spotlight tomorrow¡­" Xander grumbled. He wanted to crush that old man down completely, but then Life Hospitals group would get adversely affected. There was a moment of silence. Then Xander felt a warm kiss on his neck and heard his wife say, ""I love you so much Xander Yang¡­ you are my life" Xander blushed and had a wide smile on his face and whispered, "I love you more than my life darling." It was exhilarating to hear such words from his wife, as it rarely ever happened that she would say those beautiful words to him first. It feels like melodious music to his ears¡­ Words he would want to hear from his wife more and more often. "Darling?" Xander muttered when he heard no response. He chuckled hearing his wife''s little snoring. Lately his wife had been busy with a lot of emergency surgeries, she was possibly too tired that she would easily sleep like that while talking within a couple of minutes. He stared at the ceiling as he imagined himself holding a cute little baby in his arms. He chuckled as he imagined his father being a proud and spoiling grandfather. He bet his father would either live with them only or would be often present wherever they would be, just to be always able to play with his grandchild. Xander then let out a long sigh and kissed his wife''s head. How he hoped his wife was finally pregnant that he chanted, "You Red Alert¡­ Don''t you dare visit my wife tomorrow!" Yera''s period should begin tomorrow and Xander was praying for it not to happen. "Little Xander¡­ or little Yera¡­ Dad is hoping for you¡­" he whispered while caressing her abdomen gently, before totally closing his eyes. Yera heard her husband''s mumbling in her light sleep. She smiled knowing at how excited he was. She too was hoping for it¡­ Hoping that red alert would not dare disappoint them. She of course had been noticing some changes in herself from a few days however, there were also possibilities that it could be just a simple hormonal change due to change of sleeping pattern and anxiety she had in the past few days because not only was she back to surgeries but her sleeping schedules were changed too. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dion was honestly waiting for this day because he had prepared something special for Rizie. He picked up the small delicate and beautiful box and opened to see its contents once more before keeping it in his pocket, and grinned. Today he was confident about asking Rizie for her hand in marriage because he could feel that Rizie had deep feelings in her heart for him already like he had for her. He had planned to confess to her tonight and ask for the two of them to get engaged. He called secretary Ness once again to re-confirm if everything was already in place. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and admired himself for looking a little more handsome than usual in the white shirt and maroon tuxedo with a matching tie chosen by his mother. He heard knocking on his door and he smiled seeing his gorgeous mother, looking extraordinarily beautiful in her lovely evening dress that enhanced her slim figure and highlighted her beautiful collar bones in the boat shaped neck, when she opened the door and entered inside. "Hmmm, you look like you''re just in your early thirties gorgeous. Who would have thought that you''re a mother of a grown up handsome man? All those single women have no match with your beauty madame¡­" Dion praised, teasing his mother with his grin. "Well no wonder you''re handsome¡­ That''s because I have passed my good genes generously to you. Look at you. I''m so proud of you my son. Thank you for growing out to be such a fine young man." Liz mumbled with love as she fixed Dion''s tie. "Hmm, thank you also mom for always being there. I can''t thank you enough for always supporting me in whatever I do¡­" Liz smiled as she wrinkled her nose trying not to cry because her make-up would get messed up. "I''m lucky too to have such a nice sister mom¡­" Dion added. "Yeah your sister is so excited and busy in giving you a grand party. She wants to make sure that the world knows your existence as her brother. She really adores you, I can not be more happier about all this. There''s even a lot of media invited..." Liz whispered. Then she continued, "Your sister has already left for the venue to check everything¡­ and Xander is still at Yang Globals, but will be on his way and reach on time he said. Rizie was the early bird, making sure everything is perfect." Dion chuckled, he narrowed eyes at his mother and teased, "How about uncle Yang? You didn''t tell about his plans for tonight. Don''t you know his itinerary? I''m sure you''re so happy since you got invited to dine with him in his mansion but I don''t know why you turned him down, don''t you think dragging this act of playing hard to get might keep you in loss somehow¡­" Dion was talking about the day elder Yang had called everyone for dinner in his mansion including his mother. Well unfortunately his mother did not join them at the dinner saying she had some other dinner appointment. Dion being the kind of son he was, knew she was pretending and did not buy her excuses at all. "Mother, if you are really serious about uncle Yang I will always support you in this and wish you also get the desired happiness in life. But do not drag it too much and try to sort things out soon, because even for uncle Yang it might be a difficult decision to make, seeing his son has already settled down and the love he had for his wife because of which he never got together with anyone again. Even if he would have feelings for you he might hesitate in voicing it all out. So I would suggest to make things clear in your heart and then get his clear view as well." "Hmm¡­ I will talk to him later. Don''t worry I will not drag it too long son. That would be the last time. I think he has realized something already." His mother answered followed by a laugh then paused as she recalled something thrilling she accidentally witnessed just this morning. "By the way¡­ Is your sister alright?" Liz suddenly asked Dion that made him crease his forehead in concern as he asked, "Yeah¡­ Why?" Liz went down early to help Yera prepare the breakfast when she saw her eating green mangoes early in the morning. "I think she''s pregnant. I saw her eating green mangoes this morning¡­ Maybe she''s craving from something sour? I was about to ask her but then my mobile phone rang and I got an urgent call, then later it slipped from my mind to ask her about it. Anyway, she''s herself a doctor so she should know better." Liz nonchalantly commented. Dion recalled that instant where he had seen her the other day in the office with green mangoes and shrimp paste. Could it be that his sister was pregnant already? "Hmm, maybe she''s not aware yet since bro Xander is not yet bragging about it? But I will talk to her later and advise her to take a pregnancy test so she could take care of herself properly in case your hunch is right¡­" Dion commented feeling giddy and excited to tease his sister. "Well how else can you explain it? Eating sour things so early in the morning unless she has a craving for it¡­ But anyway, I hope she is and I''m sure even James will be too happy about it¡­" Liz commented because she often heard how he wanted to be a grandfather from Xander''s father. The old man was really aching for a grandchild to play with. She too would love to have kids around so she would probably encourage Dion to give her one soon. At Yang Globals Hospital, Rui shook his head seeing the bag of different pregnancy test kits that Xander had asked assistant Ron to buy. "Seriously Dr. CEO? Do you think Yera will try them all?" Rui commented as he waited for Xander to finish dressing up for the party. Xander laughed as he fixed his tie in the mirror. "Well, I have to have Yera collect her urine sample this evening and hand it to me. I asked her and she still hasn''t had her period¡­ She just needs to pee in a cup and I will do the dropping of samples in those test kits¡­" Xander excitedly hummed. Rui was so speechless but looking how his friend was so happy and proud, he couldn''t help but be happy for him too. "How I wish you are right my dear friend¡­ Don''t forget to make me the godfather alright¡­" Rui bantered as he stood up seeing Xander was ready to leave for the private parking area. "Make sure you guard your subject well¡­" Xander mumbled before going inside the backseat of the car. Rui let out a sigh and watched Xander''s car move. He went inside his car as soon as it stopped in front of him. "Go tot Candice''s place first, let us pick her up¡­" Rui instructed his driver. .........¡­ Meanwhile at the other side of the building, a man was focussed on his telescope not far from the Dami Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in the city. Another man entered the room and he asked, "Are we all set? I don''t want any hiccups this time or the King will definitely kill us after several failures!" "Yes Sir¡­ I''m sure this time we won''t miss¡­" the man who was one of his lackeys confirmed. He grinned and hissed, "Make sure hammerhead or else I will be the one to eliminate your team this time before the King even finds out about it!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Why don''t you ask one of our men to get that instead?" he exclaimed because Cali told him to go to the venue first since she needed to do a stopover. "Don''t worry grandpa, I won''t be that late okay. You go first and tell Dion that I''ll be there soon. I want to personally check my gift for him so please go now alright. I''ll be there soon following behind you." Cali insisted and gave her grandfather one last smile with a pose and asked, "Before you leave, how about you comment first on how your granddaughter looks?" Mr. Lua shook his head and said, "You look perfect my dear. Dion is definitely lucky. Okay I''ll go ahead now and make sure you are there in time. You know how the traffic at Dami Bridge can be and how slow the car will run at times there." Cali nodded with a wink. To be honest, she had a gift both for Dion and Rizie so she wanted to go to the party in a separate car instead of going with her grandfather. Besides, she was even contemplating whether to attend the party at all or not, as she had a feeling that her grandfather had schemed something regarding the relationship of Dion and her at that party and that was a major factor for her to hesitate. She had already warned Dion and Rizie about it but the couple was still in disagreement. Dion wanted to stop the act while Rizie insisted to continue saying they could stop it once they achieved something out of it. Rizie seemed to be ready to go all out with the plan. Cali released a frustrated sigh as she went inside the car. She was touched by how Rizie put so much trust in her or maybe Rizie was just overly confident about Dion''s feelings towards her. She was sure Dion would not fall for her but no one knew what the future held, and this act was going to stretch for a few more months if not brought to a stop soon. But of course, she herself was confident about seeing Dion with a brotherly feeling only and nothing more. Cali went to pick her gift and after that stop over decided to be on her way to the party. She creased her forehead when the car slowed down. "What was that?" Cali asked her driver as she looked out the window. Vehicles were slowing down in different lanes as they crossed Dami''s Bridge. "I''m not sure I missed it. Maybe it''s just simple traffic. This bridge is well known for one of the busiest areas in the city¡­ the government should do something about it already." Cali''s driver commented. Cali twitched her mouth and mumbled, "Politics¡­" Suddenly she heard an ear deafening loud sound like a bomb blast¡­ Her car suddenly shook like a leaf in a storm and the whole scene in front of her turned into chaos. She saw people running from both sides while others went out of their car to look at what was happening. Cali screamed as she saw the bridge where their car stood started collapsing in front of her and as she was trying to pick her phone to call someone she felt something hit her head and then she could see nothing but there was total black out in front of her eyes and slowly she lost consciousness . News flashes appeared on every television screen at home and outside the city. Dami Bridge had collapsed and an emergency team rushed to the site to check and save every survivor they could. It was a heart wrenching scene, people were trapped in the debris and some were crying for help. There were many casualties and the impact of the bridge collapse was huge¡­ Ambulances had lined up and the sound of their sirens could be heard from afar and all the ways along the road were blocked as those cars rushed only to one site, at Dami Bridge. Media people had gathered too quickly and were reporting live. The policemen were everywhere along with the disaster management teams and everyone including civilians and NGOs were ready to give help. Back at the building not far from Dami Bridge, a loud laugh was heard in one of the rooms as the man watched the smoke from the bridge. "Bravo!!! Now, I wanna hear the names of the dead. Give me the names and make sure I must see the name of that person in it!!!" he exclaimed to one of his men while still grinning. Finally, the mission was completed! ......¡­. At Regent Hotel "What''s going on?" Yera mumbled when she saw a commotion inside the function hall as most of the guests started checking their mobile phones. Many of them frantically started calling their family members and even receiving calls from their loved ones about their whereabouts. She could hear the loud murmurs in the party hall and almost everyone had a shocking expression on their face. She was too busy with entertaining the guests that she could not even get a hold of her mobile phone. "Oh my gosh¡­ This can''t be true," she heard one of the media persons breathe in disbelief.. Yera saw Rizie rushing towards her, she was panting and worry was written all over her face when she asked in panic, "Sis, where is bro Xander now? Have you talked to him already? Is he near the hotel?" By that moment Dion and his mother had already arrived, as did Senior Yang who were all looking for Yera and Xander as soon as they reached inside the function hall. "I can''t reach Xander. Rui said he left first from the hospital" Senior Yang muttered with trembling hands as he dialled assistant Ron. "What happened? What''s going on?" Yera asked with a confused look. Everyone looked worried and distressed before her. "Sis, the Dami''s bridge had collapsed¡­" Dion muttered. Just like Rui, Dion was hoping that his brother-in-law Xander must have been stuck in traffic only and was not anywhere close to or was passing by Dami bridge when it collapsed because they would eventually pass through the said bridge while going to the venue. Yera''s facial muscle trembled while her heart suddenly pounded hard. She gulped and grabbed her mobile phone in her purse. With trembling hands, she dialed Xander''s number but it could not be reached. Her heart was sinking and she started to have some bad premonition... "There are many casualties and many patients are brought to our hospital as well. Most of our medical staff is here. I have to send them back to the hospital to take care of the situation there." Dion burst as soon as he read all his messages. He looked at his mother and Rizie, "Mom¡­ Riz... please take care of the rest and other guests." Dion at that instant announced what happened and asked all the doctors and nurses to report back to the hospital urgently to help. "I got Ron on the phone," Yera heard her father-in-law exclaimed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Where is Xander? How is he? Why is his phone not getting connected? What! I can''t understand Ron. Slow down Ron..." Senior Yang said. He looked anxious though he tried to calm his voice. Ron was talking anxiously and very fast, his words almost jumbled coming out from his mouth as he shouted from the other side. He was conscious though he felt his entire body aching and small and big wounds were there on his entire body as well. Senior Yang looked at Yera as the call ended. "What happened father? Xander? Where is he? He''s safe right? He must be with Rui? Both safe right father? Please say his safe..." Yera asked, gasping while she was saying her silent prayers for her husband to be safe. "Xander¡­ was on the bridge when it collapsed dear, Ron is in the ambulance with Xander¡­ Please don''t worry, everything will be fine..." Senior Yang muttered with trembling lips. He could not dare relay what Ron said to Yera. Yera immediately understood the seriousness of the situation seeing the conflicted and worried face of her father-in-law so she said, "Father, tell Ron to make sure they are brought to Life Globals, I will personally look after Xander''s case." That instant, Yera rushed with Dion and the rest to Life Globals where everyone involved in the accident was brought. Among the guests who rushed to the hospital was Mr. Lua who came to know that Cali was also being rushed to the hospital because she was also involved in this accident and was in a critical condition. The emergency room was filled with patients from the collapsed bridge. Yera assessed other patients as she waited for Xander''s ambulance that took more time than usual because of the traffic jam on the road.. "Dr. Han, CEO Yang''s ambulance is here¡­" Dr. Xiao informed her after some time and Yera rushed to the entrance. She saw Xander being moved out of the ambulance on a stretcher. Blood was everywhere on his face and his body. He was almost unconscious, while Ron was on his side. "Go check on him¡­" Yera instructed Dr. Xiao to check Ron who was also injured. Yera got the initial findings of the doctor in the ambulance and she instructed all necessary tests for Xander who was unconscious. She leaned down, touched his face and in a low yet strong voice whispered in his ear, "Stay strong darling. I will save you. I am right here with you¡­ please¡­ Hang in there¡­" Another ambulance arrived¡­ Mr. Lua burst out crying seeing Cali''s condition. "Oh God, my child, what happened to you? Please open your eyes! Somebody please save her!!!" He personally pushed the stretcher along with the medical staff and followed her to the emergency room. His eyes were constantly raining tears and he felt completely broken when he saw this condition of his dear grandchild. Mr. Lua was almost hysterical inside the emergency room and he had to be given a shot to calm him down. "This is a total mess," one of the emergency doctors murmured. Forty were already proclaimed dead on arrival while many were in critical condition and others were badly injured. Everyone who needed surgery was almost immediately engaged in surgeries. Except for two more patients who needed one major and complicated surgery in the head since a lot of things were needed to be considered before deciding whether to proceed or not for operations, not to forget that Dr. Yang was the CEO of the rival hospital and if any mishap happened in his case things would go very wrong. One of the doctors sighed while looking at the CT scans in the doctor''s room at the ER. "This is too complicated¡­" They were looking at the CT scans of two patients. "Only Dr. Yera Han would be brave enough to handle these both cases¡­" Yera entered the room and immediately focused on her husband''s case. She was expressionless, among all the doctors she was the only one who looked calm and emotionless. "I will personally handle Xander Yang''s surgery. Prepare the operating room" Yera instructed while she closely studied the scan and all other reports of Xander''s tests. "We must inform his guardians before we..." one of the doctors said. "I am his wife¡­" Yera simply and calmly answered while she reinstructed the nurse to get her the team and prepare the operating room including the patient. Yera was about to leave the room when Dion entered. All the doctors inside were left mouth agape. "I haven''t seen someone as strong as her. I mean did you see her shed a single tear since she arrived? Everyone looks toxic while she is so calm looking at each patient¡­ To think that she is Xander Yang''s wife? CEO Yang who was in the most critical condition... Still she will operate on him?" one of the doctors commented. Dion sighed. His sister was definitely crying inside but she must compose herself physically and mentally to conduct a successful operation on his brother-in-law. If she collapsed at this point¡­ Another frustrated sigh escaped Dion''s mouth¡­ Just the thought of it was killing him... That was how strong she was, that was how a doctor should be and that was what Dion had yet to learn from his sister¡­ Dion looked at her and patted her one shoulder and said, "Sis, stay strong, he will be alright. You are the best brain surgeon and when you are going to operate on him nothing wrong will happen." Yera lifted her head and looked into Dion''s eyes. She nodded slightly and hugged him tightly before leaving for the operation theatre. Dion then asked for Cali''s reports and looked at her CT scan. He shook his head in frustration. "Did you already inform her grandfather?" Dion asked. "Yes we did¡­ he called for a few specialist doctors from another hospital who could perform this surgery but unfortunately they are not available, they are out of the country and would not be able to reach on time. Mr. Lua doesn''t trust any other doctors available in our hospital at all. I mean only Dr. Yera Han can pull this through but she has decided to operate on Dr. Yang as the same case has happened to him and he is her husband¡­" Dion let out a long frustrated sigh and asked for Cali''s other laboratory results.

"Yera, please do me this favour, save my child, I request you to please operate on Cali first. I will do anything you ask me to do. But please operate on her, please save Cali please¡­" Mr. Lua burst crying while begging to Yera, holding her arms. Then he suddenly slumped on the floor, sobbing loudly. He knelt before Yera and begged, "Please Yera. I will give you whatever you want everything you desire that I have, I will return everything that I have snatched from you. Please save my Cali. Here, take this¡­" He was handing her an envelope of doc.u.ments. "These are transfer papers of all my shares on Life Hospitals. I will return everything, all the shares, the position and will never trouble you all¡­ Just save my child please, I beg you Yera, I beg you to save Cali. Operate on her¡­" Yera blankly watched Mr. Lua with no expressions on her face and heard all he wanted to say. "Please gather yourself Mr. Lua¡­ This has nothing to do with your actions or the right over Life Hospitals at all. I can sacrifice ownership of hundreds of such Life Hospitals for my husband. Right now and always, for me what matters the most is my husband. I only need my husband to be fine right now and nothing else matters¡­" Yera simply muttered and entered the operating room with a blank face. Life Hospitals group did not have any significance to her. ¡­ She would save her husband at all costs and nothing would stop her from doing that. She had once failed and couldn''t save Bernard but she would not fail today and would for sure save Xander this time¡­ As soon as Yera entered the operation theatre she saw Xander on the operating table¡­ She took a moment and tenderly watched his unconscious face and before her emotions could move her she moved towards her position before saying, "We will now start with the operation¡­" She sat on her chair above Xander''s head. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh before looking at the surgical tech and said, "Count.." "Done¡­" Replied the surgical tech. "Let''s start." said Yera and opened her palm towards her surgical tech and asked for instruments. Inside the OT Yera was probably fighting the most difficult battle of her surgical history and outside the operating room, Senior Yang silently kept praying with calm and quiet mind, while waiting for good news in the waiting lounge. ''Kanya¡­ Our son. I can''t lose our son like this.'' he mused with eyes closed. Rizie and Liz arrived at that moment in the waiting lounge and the corners of their eyes turned red on watching Senior Yang in this state. "I will look for Dion auntie, you please look after uncle Yang" Rizie murmured and left Liz who went and sat beside Senior Yang. Liz sighed and gently patted Senior Yang''s shoulder to console him. She could imagine his sorrow and knew how painful it could be for a parent to go through all this. How much pain he must be going through in waiting while his child was on the brink of life and death. "This is not fair and it really is frustrating¡­" Senior Yang suddenly heard Liz murmur. He turned to look at her. She was still patting his back. Liz smiled and muttered, "Hmm, I mean bad things like this, happening to good people. But you''re really doing great James¡­ I''m sure Xander is also as strong as you are. Trust me he will be absolutely fine." Senior Yang''s eyes turned red and a tiny tear dropped from his eyes releasing the anxiousness, pain and helplessness he was feeling till now. He nodded at her and said, "Yes, he is a fighter and very strong man. Nothing can happen to him. And when Yera is standing by his side, her magic hands will not let anything happen to my son. I trust them both." Liz wiped her own tears and smiled faintly. She didn''t know what to say more and simply decided to stay by his side until the surgery was done and he was ready to go back home. "I will get you some coffee and let''s stay awake together while waiting for him and Yera." Liz said softly to Senior Yang. James nodded and looked at Liz''s back as she walked towards the vending machine. He removed his coat and gave it to her to cover herself up when she returned because she was still in her evening gown. He felt much better after Liz had arrived and with the cup of coffee in his hands. He thought how lonely he felt earlier and how he had started drifting into sadness as his thoughts wandered off abruptly. Thanks to Liz, she brought him back to hope and positivity and suddenly he realized being optimistic can work wonders because truly God had His plans for everything. God was always in control of everything so he should trust in Him and put Xander in his care¡­ He was willing to accept whatever He decided too but he requested Him to save his son and keep him sound and healthy, so he kept on silently praying if He could please save his son¡­. Hours passed and the surgery was still ongoing. "It''s quite late and uncomfortable in here," Senior Yang whispered. Liz smiled and said, "Nah that''s okay. I have insomnia anyway so even if I go home I''ll stay awake for a long time too." "I guess as we age, we tend to sleep less," Senior Yang commented, not even sure if it made sense. Liz grinned and said, "I''m kidding¡­ I actually don''t have insomnia. I just want to stay here with you because I don''t want to leave you alone in this difficult time of yours, also because I know how frustrating it could be when you wait alone¡­" Senior Yang looked at Liz''s smiling face and did not say a word because in honesty he wished she would stay with him, like she said it would be great not to be alone in the waiting room like this. It would be encouraging to have a companion in times like this. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was on bed staring in one direction unblinkingly while the doctor was bandaging the wound in his leg. When the doctor left, he stared at his only major wound on the leg. He had bruises on some other parts of his body too but he felt numb. The scene of the accident kept replaying in his head over and over again. It was the first time he had seen his Boss in such a critical condition. His Boss was critically injured because he tried to save him from a big block of falling concrete. He should be the one in the critical condition and not the boss. ''How imcompetent I had been!'' he inwardly cursed himself. He was startled and brought back to present when he heard Shan. "Ron, how are you? Are you alright? Where are you hurt? Oh my God!" Shan exclaimed and took him in her embrace and tightly hugged him. Shan heard about the accident soon after it happened and she came to know about Xander''s injuries also. But she was kept busy in managing everything due to the chaos in the entire city. She noticed how Ron seemed just out of himself, as if he was lost in some deep thoughts, looking dazed in one direction. "Shan I''m alright but the Boss he¡­" Ron murmured followed by the tears that suddenly burst out of his eyes staining his face with them. "Shhh, everything will be fine. " Shan muttered as she gently rubbed Ron''s back. The doctor told her that Ron had an injury on his leg but luckily nothing was broken and had only a few minor bruises on his body. "Shan¡­ He is critical because he saved me¡­ That big block of concrete¡­ then blood everywhere¡­ boss¡­ Oh God. Why was he stupid? He risked his own life to save a nobody like me..." Ron was sobbing hard as the scene replayed before him and the words of his Boss Xander echoed in his ears again when he smiled at him and murmured, "You dumbass¡­Stay alive and fine, you know I rely on you a lot¡­" Those were the last words he said before losing consciousness. "Shhh¡­ Calm down Ron. You know ma''am Yera will save him for sure. He will surely be fine so don''t feel guilty or anything¡­ had you been in his shoes, you would have done the same thing for him, for sure¡­" Shan comforted him while she added, "Make sure you are strong enough to scold Sir Xander afterwards when he is completely fine, so stay strong and get yourself to heal fast." Shan could still smell blood inside the emergency room. There were cries of pain not only for the body injuries but from kins of the victims, who were pleading to every doctor to save their loved ones. She sighed. She was considered lucky for arriving early at the party site, Sir Rui too was lucky for being late and thus was caught up in the traffic when the incident happened. No one truly could predict things like this but Shan was glad and grateful that she was given another life ahead of hers and that Ron was also fine except for a few injuries. All she was anxious about now was Dr. CEO Xander Yang. ......... A few hours passed¡­ Rizie sighed, and looked helplessly towards the ceiling. She was sitting on a waiting chair at the hallway outside the Operation Theatre- 5 where Cali was being operated. Dion was incharge of the surgery and was the main surgeon of the team handling her operation. Rizie was extremely nervous, hoping Dion would successfully do the surgery and save Cali somehow. Mr. Lua on the other hand, had no choice but to agree to Dion to perform this surgery because no other doctor was confident enough to take the case and be responsible for Cali''s operation except for Dion. Cali would die if she would not have an operation as the swelling in her brain was continuously increasing and the increasing pressure could be fatal for her, if they waited for her surgery to get Yera as her surgeon. She was there when Mr. Lua begged Yera on bent knees to operate on Cali first. Sis Yera was Mr. Lua''s best shot, who could perform that surgery with the highest percent of success rate and with almost all of her patients returning to their normal life. Rizie didn''t see a proud and arrogant chairperson at that time instead she saw a grandfather who was so broken and afraid to lose his grandchild. Cali was right, she was truly her grandfather''s weakness. Rizie was sure Yera would never deny to operate on Cali if the situation was different and bro Xander''s life was not on the line. Dion¡­ he was a specialist in neurology and a very good neurosurgeon indeed but when it came to such complicated surgery, he didn''t have many feathers in his cap. He very recently had one successful surgery, but the patient was still under strict monitoring and observation and had yet to recover completely after the surgery. Rizie let out air on her forehead¡­ She prayed that Dion would perform a flawless surgery and manage to save Cali because she was a good person and deserved to live a happy life, dying like this seemed to be too tragic at such a young age. Rizie stood up to go to the waiting lounge where Senior Yang and Dion''s mother were waiting. A lot had happened in just one night and she could not go home at all in this difficult situation. She was worried for both Han siblings¡­ She saw Rui panting and running towards her direction. He reached near her and asked, "How is he?" he asked, still catching his breath. "Still inside. The operation is still ongoing¡­" Rizie stated and looked at the glass door of the waiting room where Senior Yang and Dion''s mother were waiting. Rui brushed his face in exasperation¡­ With gritted teeth he cursed and said, "I will take care of something first Rizie. Please call me and keep me updated on Xander''s situation¡­" Rizie nodded and followed Rui''s back. He had just arrived but looked like he had some thoughts running in his mind and he needed to take care of some urgent things, it seemed like he caught something important that needed immediate attention for which he ran out. She went inside to join Senior Yang and Dion''s mother in waiting for the result of the operation. After a few more hours¡­ The door opened and Yera stepped out. The three of them immediately stood up from their chairs and ran towards her. Rizie could feel the tension in Yera''s entire body so she stepped near her and held her arms. That instant Yera''s knees weekend and Rizie held her and helped her to sit. "The operation was successful. We have to wait for him to wake up soon¡­" Yera muttered with a stuttering voice and all her emotions that she had swept away since hours streamed out of her eyes. Yera started sobbing suddenly. Rizie hugged her and gently rubbed her back. She too cried hearing Yera''s loud weeping. "Dear¡­ be calm¡­ you saved him¡­" Senior Yang whispered as he patted Yera''s shoulder. Liz''s heart ached seeing Yera crying so loud. The poor child managed to contain her emotions until a while ago and broke down soon after she finished the operation. Her eyes widened as she saw Yera''s legs where blood was dripping "Oh God, dear¡­ You''re bleeding." she burst out. Rizie gently pushed Yera and looked. It was clearly visible because Yera was wearing a knee length dress. She looked at Yera and gasped. "Sis!" she exclaimed when Yera lost consciousness as her head dropped on her shoulder. Senior Yang rushed out to ask for help... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was extremely focussed, being meticulous with his every single movement. Cali was his second for such a case, and she was not only a patient but also his and Rizie''s good friend. He still knew she was hanging in there, if she lasted this surgery, she would survive for sure. "Doc, her vitals are dropping," Dion heard the nurse say. He looked at the monitor and mumbled, "Cali¡­ Hang in there please. Keep fighting¡­" He continued with what he was doing, hoping that Cali could live with his help¡­ He only needed to stay focused and apply everything he learned from his sister and everything would be fine. Afterhours, Dion sighed as he started stitching the innermost layer and asked his surgical tech for the count and when he received the satisfactory answer he wrapped up everything. He was too exhausted¡­ He relayed the result to Mr. Lua and quickly went to his sister as soon as he found out what happened with her. "How is she?" he asked his mother who was there in the private room where his sister was admitted. "She''s stable now. The doctor said that we have to make sure she has someone around with her as soon as she wakes up. She handled everything very bravely but the pressure she kept within affected the baby in her w.o.m.b¡­" his mother relayed with a heavy sigh. As Liz expected, Yera was pregnant, three weeks to be exact, but she sufferred a miscarriage probably because of the extreme psychological pressure on her. Yera was still unconscious at that moment. "How is Xander?" Liz asked Dion. ""He is still being monitored at the recovery room and would be transferred to the ICU as soon as the effects of anesthesia starts to wade off¡­" Dion murmured. He too let out a frustrated sigh. His brother-in-law was saved but another life that he had been waiting for eagerly was taken away. "What matters now is that my dear sister is stable¡­ and bro Xander too." he muttered. Truly it was a very sad thing to happen, but the couple could always have another baby after they surpass this. After a while, Yera finally opened her eyes. Seeing she was on the hospital bed and in her hospital gown, she already had an idea of what had happened. She recalled her last memory when she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and something gushing out of her body and heard auntie Liz that she was bleeding. She bit her lip as she prepared herself for the worst. She sat up and straightened her body on the bed and saw Rizie and Dion, both sleeping on the couch. Both looked exhausted and worn out, yet they were waiting for her to gain consciousness. They had fallen asleep while waiting with their heads leaning at each other together. Yera picked up the phone and dialed the nurse station to ask the physician in charge about her condition. Tears fell from her eyes but she remained calm and requested the station to bring her to Xander, who was now at the ICU for close monitoring. She felt weak and exhausted. Dion opened his eyes and immediately placed Rizie in a comfortable position before standing up and walked to his sister who was already awake. "Sis, how are you feeling?" Yera smiled and muttered, "I''m good now Dion. You and Rizie should go home and have some proper rest. Send someone from home here to assist me instead. You have a lot of things to do¡­ Both of you¡­" The nurse and the wheelchair arrived. Dion no longer debated because he could understand his sister''s frustration. If he was in her shoes, he would also have insisted on going inside the ICU as soon as he gained consciousness. Yera creased her forehead seeing private security posted outside her room. "What''s going on?" she asked puzzled. "Ma''am, sir Rui instructed this. The ICU where sir Xander is shifted, had been guarded too¡­" explained one of the security personnel. Yera saw Rui approaching and told the nurse who was pushing Yera''s wheelchair, "I will take her from here¡­" Dion sighed as he witnessed Rui explain everything to Yera. Dion had given all the authorization for Rui and his team in and out of the hospital including all facilities. The team who was monitoring Xander had doctors from Yang Globals too. He was also confused at first but Rui said to trust him on this and Dion knew he could, so he did. Rui believed that Dami Bridge was not an accident but an intentional attack. He had some hunch about all this but it would still take him some time to get to the root of it, if he could, meanwhile Rui wanted tight security around Xander and his loved ones while the investigation was still ongoing. "You should rest more okay. You are still weak and I am answerable to Xander about you, I will just give you a few minutes inside the ICU Yera. Don''t worry about Xander because he is recovering well and steadily as I expected.. You did a very good job on him Yera except for one thing that I''m not sure how he will be able to accept the fact that he was now a bald man. That man loves his hair so much geez. Just a little less than he loves you. This is going to be a war as soon as he wakes up," Rui said, making the atmosphere lighter, which made Yera chuckle. She was aware how possessively her husband took care of his hair, and was very proud of how naturally bouncy and thick it was. When they reached the ICU area, a huge team of doctors and nurses specialising in neurology and critical care greeted Yera. She recognized them all and smiled. They were the best from Yang Globals. Doctor Gong relayed Xander''s condition to Yera before they left her alone with Xander. Yera held Xander''s hand and gently brushed it on her cheeks. "I told you darling¡­ I will never lose you, now please open your eyes soon! I am waiting for you, don''t you dare disappoint me. Don''t be lazy and don''t sleep too long or I will be angry with you. I miss you so much darling¡­" Yera whimpered as tears fell non stop from her eyes and she kissed his hand. ... Meanwhile, a man stood on the window waiting for a report and lighted his cigarette. After some time, his mobile phone rang. "You dumbasses!!! I told you not to get caught. The King had instructed us to do things discreetly without her knowing! Dumbshits!!! Find a way to execute the mission discreetly and make sure she doesn''t find out about it!!!" he shouted and threw his mobile phone. Everything was a mess. He could not believe that eliminating those bastard''s bloodlines would take him this long, just to make sure his name wouldn''t get dragged along the way. He couldn''t afford to get tagged with this shit or else not only the police would haunt him but the King whose name he had used being his brother and right hand to mobilize his people. The King was still in a coma so he still had time in hand. "Shit! Shit!" he cursed as he dialed Tyron to check the whereabouts of the freaking stubborn little devil of his brother! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

I know what I need to do so you don''t have to remind me about it, dammit! Why are you monitoring me? Do you wanna die Tyron? Don''t you dare interfere in my things or I''ll not hesitate in silencing you myself!" The loud yelling sound vibrated all the four corners of the cozy and spacious room. The line was immediately cut and all Tyron could hear then was the beeping tone of call that ended on his mobile phone. He was watching the video of Dami bridge collapse sent by his men. The modus operandi made him more sure that it was Yun who orchestrated that tragedy at Dami Bridge. However, it did not bring results according to Yun''s plan. All that chaos, planning such a huge attack all along just to target one person, one single person whom Yun had been trying to kill since past few years. He kept escaping everytime because of his good luck, he didn''t even know that he had been the one who was the target. Yun did not want to have any involvement so he was orchestrating a good plot where it could be seen as an accident, not caring whether other innocent people would get involved, his only aim was to kill his one and only remaining threat¡­ Xander Yang. "Sir," his assistant handed him an envelope. Tyron let out a long sigh before he cursed and moved his neck left and right then he took his hand on the back of his neck to massage his nape. A mark was visible on his nape, a black crescent moon tattoo was there, the same mark that embedded and sealed the envelope his assistant had handed over to him. "Dammit Raine, what''s with you lately¡­" he cursed and complained before he dismissed his assistant. They had never failed and took so long to complete a task before. But it happened just now because Raine was being slow! They needed to return soon but until now they were not done with that simple task because Raine''s mood swings were horribly active from past few days. Tyron irritably scratched his head and went out to get some fresh air. If Raine would still stubbornly act in her own ways, her uncle Yun would take the whole clan soon under his own palm especially now that the King was still in coma. Xander Yang was the last heir in that bloodline that Yun needed to wipe out. It took the old man years of planning to make everything perfect but Yun seemed to be having a hard time in eliminating his final target. Tyron shook his head, Yun was really sly. He had even been framing all his evil deeds at Quan Clan group, using their cyclone mark on his people and distracting the investigations of all other groups and agencies. Such a sly fox yet success was nowhere near him even when he had planned things for years in the name of the King. "Damn¡­" Tyron cursed as he tried to dial Raine''s number once again. He was babysitting another sly fox and he was on the verge of giving up... if not only¡­ Another sigh and cursing came out from Tyron''s mouth when he couldn''t get through the line. He looked at the invitation. He was a part of the Yue Clan and the right hand of the ''Princess'' or most commonly known as ''Raine''. Recently they had lost one of their ''Shadow Beauties'' Megan who was held captive by the military and if the King would find out about it they would all be doomed. Their mission was to rescue Megan but Raine was interfering with her uncle''s own things, prolonging the rescue mission saying Megan would be fine inside the military captivity and would not get hurt since the military needed information from her. Raine was confident that Megan would not utter a single word to jeopardize their clan. If Yun found out that Raine was messing up with him like this, it would create a total chaos. Tyron puffed air out from his lungs and closed his eyes as he felt the warm wind blowing from the mountain caressing his face. "Xander Yang¡­" he muttered. Xander Yang was the only one left. He smirked at the thought about how stupidly Yun planned out everything. Xander Yang''s hospital was a competitor of Life Hospitals group. Lyndon Chu unfortunately asked help from a gang under Yun''s men and the old man came to know about the kidnapping of Yera Han. Yun ordered one of the gang members to kill Yera Han if there would be an opportunity then later he would frame Xander''s involvement in it, not Lyndon''s. He wanted Xander in the prison as it would be easier for Yun to terminate Xander inside the cell than out in the open, as his security teams were indeed capable and extraordinary men that were guarding him and his family were always on high guard. But the turn of events was really surprising. Yera Han was alive. She survived, lost her memory and worst, with a turn of miraculous events, even married Xander Yang. Tyron shook his head that had become too heavy with tension and would soon burst out with a lot on his plate at a time not to mention the war that was still going on between the Mirage Triad. MIRAGE¡­ just the name could bring horror to people who knew about it. "Ahhh.." Tyron shouted before he turned and headed back to track Raine. He wondered how many lives Xander had and if he would still be able to survive Yun''s incessant plotting because Yun would definitely not stop until Xander Yang was eliminated, until that old man lived. Yue Clan, one among the three clans of Mirage Triad, had a real complicated family history that he himself was too curious to find out. ... Rui''s eyes suddenly opened when Dr. Gong entered the room. "Dr. Dee, we can take care of this. Why don''t you get a proper sleep on the bed?" Dr. Gong suggested seeing how uncomfortable it would have been for Dr. Rui sleeping on a chair while he never left Dr. CEO Xander Yang''s side since his transfer in the ICU. He even wondered why the security was so tight having a guard even outside the room whereas they would always check if the same assigned person were the only ones who was entering in and out. Things looked really weird and complicated. Rui stretched his arms and yawned. "Ah¡­ I will definitely make this boss of ours pay for all this inconvenience I had encountered. He should be opening his eyes today right?" Rui asked in a low concerned voice as he looked at the screen where he could check that every vital sign of Xander was normal and stable. "Yes¡­ I''m sure he will open his eyes soon," Dr. Gong answered as he administered some medicine in Xander''s cannula. "Hmm, alright. I will just go and grab a quick breakfast Dr. Gong. Don''t leave while I''m gone alright. I''ll be back soon. Do not in any condition leave Xander alone. Remember to press this button if anyone happens to enter because no one is supposed to enter except me, Dion, Yera and you. Remember to press this button okay?" Rui reiterated before leaving. Though a bit confused, Dr. Gong nodded and took it to heart. Things really were complicated... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

This clearly meant that the alarm button inside Xander''s room was pushed and his room was breached by some intruder. Rui felt his heart would burst as panic hit him realising the gravity of the situation as he ran towards Xander''s room, hoping everything was fine. When he arrived at the ICU entrance, Ralf and his men were standing outside discussing something. "What happened?" Rui asked panting. "There were two intruders caught in the camera right inside the boss''s room, but we could not recognize their faces as they were wearing masks. More baffling and weird thing is that both of them were fighting with each other silently inside the Boss'' room. I think you should first watch the entire footage. We got a hold of one of them, but the second one was able to escape and we lost him." Rui nodded and watched the footage in which he saw one intruder attack the guards posted at the entrance and then attack Dr. Gong. He then headed towards and was about to attack Xander but suddenly the door of the room opened and another intruder entered and kicked him away from Xander. The both of them started fighting and one was trying to find just one swift chance to kill Xander whereas the other one was determined to save him. The two fought fiercely and both were excellent mercenaries, they both wore masks and lab gowns as if they were doctors too. Rui shook his head because he felt like he was watching an action movie when the second intruder was blocking the first intruder from getting anywhere near Xander''s bed. It was a good thing Dr, Gong managed to push the button before losing consciousness. Ralf explained that the intruder managed to enter using the thumbprint of one of the doctors assigned to Xander at that time. "What? Literally cut the thumb?" he burst out when Ralf reported that the doctor was knocked out and his thumb was cut off from his hand by that cruel mercenary. His thumb was retrieved and the unconscious doctor was now being attended to. Rui massaged his temple¡­ Losing a thumb was like killing that doctor instead because he could no longer operate. "Make sure the best team from Yang globals is also mobilised and assigned for the reattachment of his thumb, also reassure him and his family that he would be well compensated for all the trauma and inconvenience caused. Provide him everything that he asks¡­" Rui instructed. His hunch was right though it was also because someone anonymously gave him a warning to make sure Xander would have tight security but then they still managed to penetrate so he was more convinced that the enemy was not just that simple. He was too frustrated that the enemy could have an upperhand, making their team worthless! "How about Dr. Gong?" Rui then asked. "He was knocked out too but is fine now. Those two had a fight with our men as well when they tried to escape." Ralf answered. "Yera, must not know about it yet okay? I will personally tell her what happened." Rui said because Yera needed not to worry at this time. She had suffered too much already and this incident would give her more distress. "Brief Dr. Gong too that this must be kept with him only." Rui instructed one of their men before he looked at Ralf and said, "Bring me to that person you caught." Ralf nodded and led the way. Ralf told Rui that the one they were able to catch was the one who had entered first and attacked Dr. Gong. They headed out of Life Hospital and proceeded to the underground Yang Globals dungeon where only a limited number of trusted people had access to. ...¡­ Meanwhile, Yera got ready to visit Xander after her breakfast. Dion entered the room and smiled to see her so restless to see Xander. "You look better sis. I heard Bro Xander would wake up any moment now¡­ I will bring you to him.." Dion offered. "How''s Cali?" Yera asked. She was already aware that Dion did Cali''s surgery. "She''s good sis. Hopefully she will wake up too anytime now. My operation on her was flawless sis. I put all my energy and effort into it, hoping for her to live. She''s too young... I did it but then let''s wait for a good result." Dion proudly narrated. Yera smiled and stood up from her bed while Dion assisted her in her wheelchair. She wanted to be there in front of Xander when Xander opened his eyes. She wanted herself to be the first person he would see. While they were in the hallway, Yera asked how her father-in-law was. "He must have been disappointed when I¡­ He so much longed for a grandchild," Yera whispered with a down tone. "He only hopes for you and bro Xander to get well soon sis. Yes it was a little sad event but he left with a smile on his face. He was very much thankful to God that you and Xander are both safe now. Honestly, he wanted to stay but thank goodness he listened to my mom and went home to get some rest." Dion responded grinning as she recalled that funny scene where his mom scolded uncle Yang saying, Yera and Xander would be distressed if uncle Yang got sick instead due to lack of proper rest and sleep for staying there that long. Yera chuckled at how Dion mimicked his mom''s tone and voice while he narrated the scene. "How about Rizie?" Yera asked next. "She took enough rest and had reported back to work today. You must know how chaotic the hospital was after that incident. A lot of people have died and a lot many were badly injured¡­" Dion answered followed by an aggrieved sigh recalling those bloody scenes at the emergency room last night. "Yes¡­ and it''s a tragic sight¡­" Yera commented. Outside the ICU, Yera saw assistant Ron in his wheelchair too. "Madame¡­" Assistant Ron whispered and he could not look Yera in the eyes. "You should go back to your room Ron and recuperate properly because as soon as your Boss wakes up you''ll definitely get scolded big time for not looking after yourself, plus you''ll soon have a huge pile of work¡­" Yera said with a grin. "Madame, it''s my fault¡­" assistant Ron was about to say more but Yera cut him off and said, "It''s no one''s fault Ron. It''s an accident and what happened already happened. Don''t think much about it and let''s all move forward shall we? Go back to your room now and get well soon so we can both take care of your stubborn Boss¡­" She then winked at Ron reassuring the man that he should not worry about what happened. Yera entered the ICU room and Dion left her as soon as she was settled. Yera held Xander''s hand and had his palm feel the warmth of her cheek as she gently kissed them. "Darling¡­ Can you wake up now please¡­ I miss you badly. I need you around me you know that? I want to hear you praise me everyday and sleep in your embrace every night. Please wake up now..." Yera almost cried as her eyes turned red and she begged Xander to wake up several times. "Are you trying to seduce me even when I am unconscious darling?" Yera barely heard those whispers. She immediately pushed the button for the medical team, so that the assigned team could check on Xander who was now smiling at her but still weak to talk long. "Shhh¡­ don''t talk much, it''s not good for the stitches in your head. Opening your eyes and remembering everything is enough," Yera muttered while sobbing. She was crying because of too much joy in her heart. "Good morning Dr. CEO! It''s good to see you awake like this." Dr. Gong heartily greeted him with a smile before he turned to Yera and said, "Madame, we can perform preliminary examinations on him by evening and shift him to a private ward by tonight or tomorrow." Yera nodded and instructed the nurse to have Xander transfer to the VIP room with two beds where she would also stay alongside him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They were already shifted in the VIP room and all his tests came out good as far as Xander''s memory and other senses and vital condition was concerned. She sat beside him holding his hand feeling his warmth between her palms. Others would think she looked strong but deep inside she was deeply hurt, operating on the man she loved the most was not only difficult as a doctor but it also took a toll on her as a wife and she even lost her first baby due to this stress. Everything that happened was really heartbreaking for her. But she knew, she had to stand strong not only for Xander but for herself. She had experienced a lot and one thing it taught her was not to break down due to any worst circ.u.mstances but she learnt to stay calm and clear headed in any situation because breaking down would do no good in any kind situation. "Darling¡­ Let''s travel somewhere far¡­ abroad for a few days and have a honeymoon as soon as you fully recover. Let''s just focus on each other for a while, without our work haunting us and anything else to bother. Just the two of us and let''s make another¡­ I mean make more babies all you want," Yera whispered as she kissed Xander''s hand. "I guess being operated and being in this situation has its own benefits¡­" Yera heard Xander whisper. Yera stood up and smiled. "If you get well soon¡­ You''ll see how I give you more bonus," Yera jested then added, "Now close your eyes and rest more¡­" "Darling, why are you wearing this hospital gown and have this cannula for iv fluid too?" she heard Xander asked. Yera smiled and said, "I performed the surgery on you myself darling. Imagine how stressed I might have been, in fact I lost all the energy in giving my all, just to make sure that you wake up perfectly normal and fine, like nothing had ever happened to you. Please don''t talk anymore now okay and rest. We will talk about it later once you''re fully recovered." Xander smiled and gently squeezed Yera''s hand before closing his eyes and obeyed his wife to rest more since he was feeling a bit exhausted too. At another VIP room not far from Xander''s, Dion visited Cali who had just been shifted to the VIP room from the ICU. Like Xander, her operation was successful too and she had already gained consciousness. Mr. Lua was also inside the room when he checked Cali''s condition who was now resting. "Dr. Dion Han, may I have a word with you, alone¡­" Dion heard Mr. Lua speak when he bid his farewell and was about to leave. Dion nodded and signalled the team of doctors and nurses with him to leave first. He sat on the couch as signaled by Mr. Lua. Then Mr. Lua handed him an envelope. Dion creased his forehead and opened the envelope and checked the doc.u.ments. "These are¡­." he gasped because those were the transfer papers of shares and resignation from the Chairman position.. He even had all his minions sign an affidavit that they had no problem in assigning the Chairperson position to anyone from the Han family. "I guess the mere thought of losing my granddaughter, just like that, made me realize one thing¡­" Mr Lua muttered then he added, "I could sacrifice anything for my granddaughter''s life. Why would I need power if she is not around¡­ It is all for Cali and her lineage. But what meaning will that hold if I lose Cali and my money and power can''t even save her?" "Dion, it must be my punishment for being greedy. Cali kept telling me to leave my greed, she was right, I should be content with what I have. Yes aiming big is good but not by stepping over others and worst is by robbing others of their rights. Today, I know and understand that all this has happened to teach me a lesson and at least correct my mistakes now, so I want to return all that I had robbed from you and Yera." Mr. Lua sighed before he added, "Your sister didn''t even blink an eye before kicking away all that she was fighting for from the past so many months, for the sake of her love. I send my blessings to her and will always try to be of help to you and Yera from now on." He used Lyndon and tailed him like a hawk. Used every detail he could find about him to bring him down later when Lyndon had grabbed the position of the CEO. Lyndon quietly agreed to all his unusual demands because of one mistake he committed in life and that was Yera''s kidnapping. But then an unexpected thing happened, and he no longer needed those secrets he had against Lyndon to bring him down since he could directly get the position on his own. He thought that heaven was on his side because of that¡­ "Thank you Dion, for saving my granddaughter and this is the least I could do to repay this kindness." Mr Lua mumbled leaving Dion speechless at that moment. Dion looked at Cali and sighed. All he wanted at that time was to save his good friend and a very good human being Cali... wished for her to get better. He did not expect this at all. Dion went back to his office and slumped his body directly on his couch. He was too exhausted at that point that he dozed off. Rizie quietly entered and shook her head looking how worn out her boyfriend was. Good thing he had no meetings that day but just a few rounds on his patients. She looked at the familiar envelope on the table and checked it. ''Mr. Lua probably decided to give it to Dion since his granddaughter was saved,'' Rizie mused as she read the contents of the envelope. She let out another sigh then grabbed a blanket and put it on Dion. She wondered when the Han siblings could finally have their peaceful life. She was aware that Xander got attacked in the ICU. Yes, everything seemed to be solved but the other mystery was added to make it more confusing. Did Xander''s attack have a connection with Yera''s shooting? Or was it simply a mistake by one of the abductors? But Lyndon was firm with his claim that there was another party involved and that party was the one responsible for the killing of that leader of the gang who killed Yera. Their only hope now, was the patient X under Xander''s custody. The man who shot Yera that night. If her family would find out the chaotic situation her boyfriend was involved in, Rizie would surely be bombarded with a lot of scolding like her brother Zach normally got. She could see her grandma Terry begging that old bro Zach would be enough and she should not tread the same chaotic path¡­ Rizie grinned as she gently touched Dion''s face and mumbled, "But I love this chaotic path¡­ and the companion I have with me throughout... It''s challenging and exciting¡­" That was one of the reasons she agreed and pursued the idea of Dion getting involved with Cali. She wanted to test their relationship. ''Maybe I really have a mental disorder to even have ever thought about it,'' she mused afterwards and thought to have a follow-up check-up with Dr. Rui about it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rui felt the frustration building up in him while he found things more and more complicated. He felt like they were thrown further back with each clue they somehow gathered. He was more angry because even before they could manage to get the captured man to talk, he suddenly wriggled violently and died. Later on investigating, they found a chip implanted in his brain in such a way that it completely controlled his life. "This is an improvised device that controls the functioning of the brain to extreme levels. It has the power to shut the brain down of the person in whom it had been implanted¡­ We must bring this sample to our facility at country U for further examination and studying." suggested the doctor who was also an expert with high technology in their team. Rui nodded and understood it since their facility at country U was the most modernized facility whereas they combined biotechnology with health care. "Send this to country U this instant. We need to track where this thing came from¡­" Rui frustratedly remarked. "How about the other intruder?" Rui asked pertaining to the one who escaped from the clutches of their team. He was getting anxious each passing day by the long resultless investigations. Xander had just woken up and he was now shifted to the VIP room with a round the clock neurosurgical nursing team around and Yera being there as well. Informing Xander about the situation at that point would not be a good idea. Rui knew he got to handle this on his own for now since Dion was engaged too in managing Life Hospitals group. "Geeez, and yet I thought I could now travel and roam around the world¡­" he complained after blowing a gush of air on his forehead. He was glad that assistant Ron was in good health enough to handle things at Yang Globals during this time. He left the underground dungeon with Ralf to go back to his office and was startled to see Candice in his office and swinging on his chair comfortably as if it was hers. "Do you think you are having fun at your home?" he scorned and sat down on his couch instead. He should scold his secretary next time for always allowing this woman to wait inside his private office. Candice laughed and said, "Why are you that harsh Dr. Dee¡­ Don''t worry, I will soon disappear from your sight, so at least be good to me during my days in your hospital. Rui''s face became dark and gloomy as he looked at Dr. Yao intently. Dr. Yao laughed and stood up from her chair and sat in front of him, crossing her legs and then crossed her arms too. "You see¡­ This environment in your country is too stifling for me. I feel like someone or other dies every now and then. By the way, how is Dr. CEO? I hope he is doing well. I wanted to visit him but the security around him is¡­. hmmm should I say it''s tight? Such tight security that even a mouse can''t enter his ward!!" He heard Dr. Yao scorn and Rui could sense the mocking tone of her words as if she was aware of the current attack that happened in Xander''s room. Rui straightened his back and leaned a bit forward towards Dr. Yao. "Yeah, I guess it''s quite tight, since they are not allowing a mouse like you to enter in his room. Anyway, if you want you can visit him with me as soon as he''s all well. Tell me Candice how soon are you going to disappear?" Candice stood up and smirked, "Don''t worry I might disappear for not too long and return here soon, to bother you again. I just need to fix a lot of things¡­" Rui watched her back as she left the room. Dr. Yao filed an indefinite leave with her valid reason¡­ One long frustrated sigh escaped his lips¡­ At this moment, he should focus on Xander''s safety before anything else. Although they were not connected by blood, Xander was his brother by heart and they have always protected each other. Rui travelled back in his memories of the time when they both met and became friends. Rui remembered, he was often bullied in his school when he was a kid. He was practically disliked by almost everyone and no one wanted to befriend him, partly because of his nerdy looks but mostly because he was an illegitimate child... a bastard son who just showed up in the circle of elite students all from prominent families like a patch of soiled piece of cloth on silk fabric. He had almost gotten used to being bullied like it when one kid stood up for him and even fought for him when needed¡­. and that was Xander Yang. Xander taught him to be confident regardless of the circ.u.mstances. He could clearly recall his words, ''No matter what your background is, it doesn''t define your goodness and your capabilities. Your success defines who you are, so always keep your head up in front of all these bunch of idiots who hide their flaws behind their family names!'' Their friendship started since then and their bond became strong like brothers with each passing day. They practically grew up together, both taking up medicine course but he got himself enrolled for further specialization while Xander just finished the bachelor of Medicine and did not take any more specialization. Rui smiled as he recalled the good times he and Xander had shared together. He recalled how Xander was the one who often took good care of him most of the time. Rui stood up from his chair and walked out of his office to drive to the Life Hospitals. Xander was awake now and he wanted to see how he would react once he teased him with his new bald look. Rui laughed while walking in the hallway recalling all those memories. At Life Hospitals, Xander was busy in deep breathing exercises to help re-expand his lungs and prevent pneumonia. Yera watched carefully with a grin. Her husband looked so roguishly handsome with his bald head, it somehow added more points to his s.e.x appeal, she thought. When the doctors and nurses who would conduct frequent neurological checks on him left, Yera could not help but comment, "I never thought that bald head look would suit you so much and you could look so s.e.xy this way.¡­" She chuckled seeing how her husband reddened of embarrassment. Yera held his hand and winked at him as she added, "You should keep this new look. I think it looks way cool than having hair." "Stop that¡­" Xander mumbled with pouty lips. He was frustrated when he found out that he lost his loveable hair and yet his wife seemed to be enjoying teasing him like that. "Oh by the way darling, don''t you dare let that Rui visit here. Tell him to stay at Yang Globals and keep the company organized¡­" Xander suddenly remembered because he did not want to witness that enjoyable look on Rui''s face as he knew Rui would kill him for sure with non stop teasing. Yera and Xander were both startled as the door opened and a very energetic voice roared inside the room. "Talking about me? Good day Dr CEO!!!!" "Speaking of the devil¡­" Yera heard her husband murmur. She laughed as she watched the two of them start their banter. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She wished she could stay longer but she needed to return home for an important event and a few urgent business meetings. Everyone at home was so busy that she did not want them to bother about seeing her off at the airport. Rizie insisted to accompany her up to the airport but Liz scolded the latter because she knew how burdened they were all at work those past few weeks. How they had been taking care of family and work at the same time. She knew how busy they were at this point. Dion then assigned a driver for her and bid her goodbye. She was inside the car and kept on looking at her mobile phone. She was subconsciously waiting for someone''s message to pop up there but there was nothing on her phone. Although she knew she should not expect any special treatment from him, yet she was somehow expecting a little from him. This morning, she sent a simple message to Senior Yang, telling him she was leaving for some urgent work and thanking him for his good treatment and his time throughout her stay. Also, she gave him some encouragement about their current circ.u.mstances. "Hmm, no reply¡­" she whispered. She was grateful that she only sent text messages instead of calling James. She would have to fix a lot in her family business that she was managing, and prepare a lot before she shifts her office, if she would decide to accept Dion and Yera''s offer to stay at Han Mansion permanently instead. But she must take care of the pending works that were waiting for her approval, ever since she left to spend time with Dion. She knew a lot of projects were hanging due to her absence, so she should fix them first. She was already inside the airport checking in when her mobile phone beeped. She smiled and excitedly read the messages immediately seeing it was from Xander''s father. [I''m sorry for the late reply. I woke up a little late¡­ Thank you so much too for everything¡­ See you again soon and have a safe trip ahead¡­] She was giddy that she even scolded herself inwardly for acting such childishly at her age. But she could not help it because the words ''see you again soon'' had a good impact on her somehow. "I mean he could just say ''take care'' right? Or ''have a safe trip'' only¡­" she mumbled with a grin as she walked to head in when her flight was called. Then she paused and looked back for a moment before saying, "I will definitely see you soon¡­" Meanwhile, Dion was working double time because he also had to return to country V soon for a few days. He would follow his mother in two days time to check a lot of things. Though he would stay just for a day or two after visiting his grandfather and confirming something. "Your tea is ready¡­ I don''t get why you and auntie don''t want to use the private plane¡­" Rizie commented while she brought Dion some tea. "Hmmm, that is because we both love to be with other people. It''s really lonely to travel alone. Me and my mom are the same¡­" Dion simply answered with a smile. Rizie nodded and joined him for a cup of tea while she checked some doc.u.ments before giving it to him. It was true that Dion liked to live like a normal average man and not the usual trope of a rich person. He wanted to blend with others, do things and stuff that simple people did. He sighed as he kept sneaking glances at Rizie every now and then. His proposal for her would be delayed too. The timing would not be right to do this with a lot of things going on but¡­ He wished to propose to her before leaving for country V. He was caught red handed by Rizie who was now staring at him with narrowed eyes and raised eyebrow. "What is it? I can feel your glances and staring you know. Do you wanna say something?" Dion gulped and gave her an awkward smile. He scratched his head and muttered, "Are you free tonight? Let''s have dinner and spend some quality time together." "That''s it?" Rizie scoffed. "Hmm of course I''m free tonight to have dinner. I thought you would confess your sin or something because of that hesitating look of yours." she teased that made Dion turn red. "Wait what''s with that look now?" Rizie teased more, enjoying the timid and bashful expressions on Dion''s face. The teasing was interrupted with a sudden phone call that Dion received. It was Vin who managed to get the CCTV footage of the truck accident that involved a motorcycle man chasing his sister and Xander. "Thank you so much Vin. I knew I could count on you," Dion gasped as his heart lifted up at the thought that it could somehow solve everything. He heard Vin sighing heavily from another line so he asked, "Is there any problem Vin?" "Yes Bro¡­ You have to take extra caution. This is not as simple as it looks. Have you heard of the Mirage? Mirage... the unified power of three clans. This Triad is rumored to be a deadly combination of power, money, skills, vengeance, trust yet betrayal and what not? I mean everyone once thought that it really did not exist, but some say it does, but until now that Triad is impenetrable. I think it''s best that we discuss this in person and not on the phone because they basically can have access to everything bro¡­ I will wait for your arrival here. You know where to find me. I have sent you the files¡­" Vin remarked before the call ended. Dion immediately opened and watched the videos. Rizie also got up and stood behind the sofa where Dion was sitting and watched the video along with him. "What? A woman?" Rizie burst seeing a long raven haired head bounced out as the helmet was taken off. But the face of the driver was not clear¡­ The woman even looked at the camera and waved as if she knew that she was being watched. "What''s this? Are we in some kind of a game or what?" Dion exasperatedly cried. He felt like his sister and brother-in-law were inside a maze at this point. He immediately sent the video to Ralf and Rui for further investigation. "That woman saved bro Xander and sis¡­ So is she kind of an ally?" Rizie commented, puzzled with what they found. "We don''t know yet Rizie¡­ She can be an enemy too. I feel like we are back to square one again." Dion helplessly muttered. "Nah¡­ Don''t get discouraged. We have already obtained justice for your father and grandfather. For sis'' kidnapping too we have captured Lyndon¡­ Just that the intended killing is unsolved but at least the perpetrator and only witness to whoever instructed him is still under our protection. Everything will sure come to light soon." Rizie comforted Dion. Dion inhaled and exhaled loudly. Mirage¡­. The Triad¡­ He needed to find more about that triad to see how it was connected with everything, to his sister and brother-in-law. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Staying inside the hospital is actually boring but thank goodness I have my beautiful wife by my side who made this stay enjoyable. I can just not thank my luck enough that I have you around taking care of me like this¡­" Xander commented. "I guess we can leave from here in five days time seeing how flowery your mouth can be¡­ And how talkative you are¡­" Yera said with a grin as she sat on the chair beside Xander''s bed. She decided to tell him about their miscarriage but not yet, now was not the right time, perhaps once they were already at home and this time they would stay at Yang Mansion for good with Xander''s father. "What is it you''re thinking darling?" Xander muttered. He was now used to feeling the warm cheek of his wife in his palm because ever since he had woken up, Yera found solace in grabbing his hand and placing his palm on her cheek, this made her feel his presence beside her. "Hmm, nothing¡­ Just that I''m thinking of a nice country to visit for our honeymoon." she said with excitement though it would probably take them a month more at least to be able to travel. "Your cousin Keira gave birth to twins. Maybe we can have twins too this time¡­ Who knows? You have it in your family." Yera murmured with a sigh. Xander was quite¡­ The word ''this time'' struck him. He looked closely at his wife''s sad eyes and right at that moment, he understood everything. At first he could not actually believe that his wife would need I. V. administrations for being stressed out not to mention her pale face, it all said a lot about her condition. He smiled at her and gently caressed her cheek and said, "Don''t worry darling. You know how capable and determined your husband is. I will absolutely beat my cousin and we will have a lot more babies than she has, once I recover we will start our mission, so you must prepare yourself pretty well for when that time comes. Have you heard about this saying?" Yera who was now smiling hearing her husband''s words asked, "Heard about what?" "Hmm, well you will have no rest but to get time to pee only¡­" Xander teasingly murmured that made Yera laugh. She was missing this a lot, her husband''s sense of humor, hearing his humorous words made her feel like she won a huge jackpot by having someone like him in her life. "Yeah. But first make sure that you are fully recovered as I don''t mind peeing time as the only resting time¡­" she timidly seconded. Yera''s dinner finally arrived brought by her father-in-law. "I can see my son is regaining his health very fast. Seeing you both happy and teasing each other feels so blissful. I pray to God to always keep you both together and happy," Senior Yang voiced seeing the couple''s grinning and smile as he entered. He was glad that his son was doing fine. Yera stood up from her chair so her father-in-law could sit there and check Xander. She smiled as she listened to how her father-in-law was encouraging his son to be a fighter. "I''m so proud of you my son. You are indeed a true Yang! A real fighter!" "Dad you''re exaggerating¡­" Xander m.o.a.ned. But later on teased, "I bet you got scared a lot at that time dad. But I heard you had a gorgeous lovely companion comforting you all this while¡­" "This brat!" Senior Yang with wide eyes scolded him but smiled because he knew if his son could joke around, this already indicated that he would be fine really soon. ...¡­. At a camping site near the city¡­ "We are almost there¡­" Dion commented while he guided and assisted Rizie, holding her from side, on the way to his surprise. He actually had her eyes blindfolded. Dion had her blindfolded from the moment she stepped in his car. "Where the heck are we going? You''re killing me with suspense." Rizie complained and that made Dion chuckle. Rizie loved surprises like this, though her mind was going crazy thinking about what could it be that Dion had prepared for her. "Hmm¡­ I can smell trees." Rizie sniffed as she tried to guess where they were going. "Are we in a garden or something? Hmm, it can''t be since the ground is not flat. A mountain at this hour?" she guessed more as they walked but Dion only chuckled. "Alright we are here. I will now remove your blindfold¡­" Dion whispered in her ear. She felt him gently remove her blindfold. Rizie slowly opened her eyes and the breathtaking view of the beautiful place Dion has brought her to. It was a place filled with natural beauty and a tent could be seen at a little distance, there were lighted bulbs marking their way into the tent and a lovely dinner table set outside with two chairs. "Oh we are really in the mountains?" she mumbled as she walked forward to see the view of the city from their spot. ''This is so beautiful," Rizie gasped. "I knew you would like it," Dion muttered with a grin. He held Rizie''s hand and led her to the table and the two of them ate their dinner under the night sky holding each other''s hands. Rizie was overwhelmed with emotions and with a big smile she said, "You''re too busy from the past few days and I feel honored by this gesture of yours. Did you set this all up yourself?" Rizie mumbled during dinner. It was true that he had been really busy lately and yet he wanted to give this surprise to Rizie as he couldn''t do this last time when he had it planned in front of everyone. That was why he had asked secretary Ness to reprepare it tonight in a very exclusive and romantic ambience. "Hmmm sort of, it''s solely my idea but I asked secretary Ness to handle everything." Dion defended with a wink. "I like it very much. Thank you." Rizie said followed by a wink too. ''Is there a special occasion I''m missing?'' Rizie then mused because the atmosphere felt very special and sweet but she couldn''t think of anything they should be celebrating about that she had forgotten. After dinner, Rizie stood up from her chair and looked at the bright clear sky and then at the city lights that looked really beautiful from this height. While she was lost in watching the beautiful scene, she felt Dion cross his arms over her and put a necklace on her neck. "What''s this?" Rizie whispered as she felt a pendant on the necklace. No¡­ It was not a pendant but a ring¡­ Dion hugged Rizie from behind while he rested his chin on Rizie''s shoulders. "Riz, I want to marry you. I want you to know that I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Rizie was speechless as she heard Dion continue, "You don''t need to answer me now because I''m willing to wait until when you are ready. For now you can use the ring as a pendant and the day I will see you wearing it in your ring finger then I will take it as your affirmative answer for my marriage proposal¡­" Rizie did not really expect that¡­ to the point that she even pinched her arm to make sure that was a reality she was experiencing right at that moment. She wanted to say something but no words were coming out of her mouth and all she could do was gently grab and hug Dion''s arms tightly that were wrapped on her waist. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

''Don''t some people say silence is a form of acceptance!'' Nevertheless, as he expected, she would need more time to accept his proposal and he was willing to wait and give that time to her. They both stared at the city lights while Dion kept hugging Rizie from behind for a long time and kept talking about every small thing of their lives when the rain suddenly started pouring down heavily. Both of them quickly ran inside the tent trying to escape getting drenched. Rizie was playfully laughing while she searched for something to wipe the water away from their wet bodies and she grabbed a towel to dry herself and Dion while she said, "Did you know it would rain tonight?" she asked with the thought of why there was a tent. "Nope actually¡­ I arranged for this tent in case you wished to stay longer so just for you to rest or if you want to stay overnight to spend more time with me, for you to save from being cold. But I certainly did not expect this rain." Dion commented with a grin while he sat down on a chair to let Rizie rub the towel on his head and subsequently on his arms to dry him up. Rizie paused and stared at him. "Why?" Dion asked with a gulp. But Rizie only answered him with the mischievously blinking of her eyes before she leaned forward and rested her arms comfortably on his shoulders. "Why do I feel like the tent has been specifically arranged for a purpose," Rizie teased and mischievously smirked seeing how red her boyfriend turned on her teasing. "Of course not¡­ I mean I didn''t¡­" Dion stuttered and cursed inwardly for losing out of words to explain as he was already at a loss for words, not because he was guilty as charged. "I mean it''s just that I thought you would like to stay longe¡­" Before he could say more, Rizie, along with that teasing grin, bent her head down and shut his mouth with a gentle kiss. Dion felt her kiss deepened and he unconsciously wrapped his arms on her waist while he let her lead the kissing. He waited until Rizie let him go while he controlled himself because he did not want her to think that he did the tent set-up for the purpose of getting intimate with her after proposing to her. "Riz," he whispered when his lips were finally free. "Hmmm?" Rizie muttered while she playfully caressed his face with her fingers touching every part of his face as if she was memorizing it. Dion could not help but get excited with her little touches all over his face. It was getting cold outside but his body felt hot inside. He was about to move away from her but Rizie suddenly said, "Aren''t you cold? Close your eyes..." Dion creased his forehead but did what she said. "Open now." Rizie mumbled after a few minutes. He blinked seeing Rizie on the bed covered with the comforter while her clothes were taken off her body and spread on a chair to dry. "Remove your clothes too since you are a bit wet too lest you will catch a cold. Let''s let the clothes dry for a while. I will now close my eyes so you can take off your clothes and join me here¡­" she said, referring to the comforter. Dion felt weird doing so when he looked at Rizie with her eyes closed. "What? Are you done? I''m going to open my eyes now." Rizie mumbled laughing. "Wait!" Dion burst as he undressed himself quickly and proceeded to join Rizie in the comforter and laid beside her, maintaining some distance with her. "Hmmm, there. Let''s stay here for a while or maybe we can sleep here like this tonight¡­" Rizie whispered as she snuggled herself in Dion''s embrace sharing each other''s warmth. Dion pursed his lips and felt the air in his lungs left his body that moment. His heart was erratically beating because his body could feel Rizie''s bare skin entangled with his body, and she was wearing nothing else but her lingeries. All his controls started failing and he knew that he was at his limit of tolerance. Her closeness was too much for him to take without doing anything now. He was not a saint and he could feel his private buddy drastically reacting down below. Rizie moved closer as if she wanted to get more warmth from him while Dion tried to move his lower body away from her so that Rizie would not feel his¡­ But to his horror, Rizie moved her leg and wrapped it around his thighs and hugged his lower part of the body intimately while he felt her breath on his neck. "This is too much!!!" he inwardly complained. "Riz, are you sleeping already?" he whispered in his hoarse voice and looked down to get a clear view of her facial expressions. Rizie tilted her head up and their gaze met¡­ She opened her mouth to say something but was quieted by a sudden attack of his burning lips on hers. Dion did not know what came to him but he suddenly moved and kissed Rizie passionately. He thought to stop after satisfying his burning fire but the flames of his desire were fueled more when Rizie started reciprocating his passion with the same heat as she deepened the kiss with her tongue entangled with his. "Riz," he m.o.a.ned¡­"Hmm?" Riz answered, pulling him closer with her hands on his face. Dion could no longer control his body as he spun around and moved on top of her. He felt Rizie''s arms encircling his neck while they immersed in yet another passionate kiss like there was no tomorrow. Dion kissed her lips and then sucked the corners of her mouth and gave her wet kisses all over her jawline and started trailing further down... Rizie m.o.a.ned when she felt Dion''s lips trailing at her neck. She arched her body and felt Dion''s hands unclasping her bra and then he swiftly removed it without any protest from Rizie. She too was so lost in the heat that she did not want him to stop with what he was doing. She gasped when she felt his warm hand on one of her b.r.e.a.s.ts as he gently squeezed it while his mouth began to tend on the other one. It felt too good to her that her body started burning with desire while his lips and tongue continued doing wonders on her peaks. She grasped his hair and bit her lips in passion. As she was losing her sanity with his wonderful work on her, she felt Dion''s right hand moving downwards between her thighs and rubbed his thumb on her most sensitive spot. She gasped as she realized what Dion was upto. Dion was feeling the heat rise in his body with each passing moment as he witnessed how Rizie reacted to each of his touches. He then cupped both her b.r.e.a.s.ts in his palms and slid a little down resting his both elbows on her sides. He leaned down kissing her on her belly button while he removed her underwear. He felt Rizie stiffened. "What are you doing?" she whispered. Dion tilted his head and met her rounded eyes. He smiled seeing the terror in her eyes. "Just relax¡­" he murmured before he gently kissed her inner thighs swiftly putting his focus on her womanhood. Rizie''s mind and body were in debate at that moment and her body prevented her from stopping Dion from whatever he was doing. Rizie felt her body would explode anytime soon with what Dion was Doing to her. She never felt something like this, unaware that kissing her down there would be like this. Dion was encouraged to continue and gave more attention to her flower because of Rizie''s m.o.a.ning. He wanted to please her as he had heard this from his brother-in-law who told him that the art of seduction was very effective in making your woman stay by your side forever. Doing intimate things such as this, makes a woman to get more attached and also yearn for more. He now knew how right his brother in law was. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

A physical therapist assisted him in his exercises in the hospital and his body responded very well with the continuous body therapies he was given. His wife monitored him closely, even his diet was monitored by Yera along with a dietician. "Darling, can I just have a single bite please? I''m really craving for it." He cried seeing the pastries and cake that Yera was eating. Yera''s eyebrows arched while she firmly said, "No! This can cause constipation." Xander pouted his lips, among them, he was more fond of eating sweets. How cruel his wife was to eat all those in front of him. All these bakery products were brought by his bastard friend Rui for Yera saying eating them would help Yera to avoid getting stressed out because of the pressure she was facing due to his condition. ''Pft¡­''Xander inwardly cursed, breaking the neck of his dear friend in his imagination. Yera grinned seeing the sulky expression of her husband. Actually, she could give him a few bites of it already but she wanted to tease him a little more before making him happy. The next day he would get discharged from the hospital, but his therapies and continuous checkups would continue at their home till he would be completely fine. Yera then playfully smiled and walked to sit at Xander''s bed side while she was still eating the cake on her plate. "Hmmm, this is really yummy darling. Rui bought your favorite cheesecake from your favorite bakery, and I have never eaten such delicious cheesecake before. Before today, I didn''t understand why you liked sweets so much, but now I know why¡­" Yera muttered while she continued to spoon more and eat more with a luscious expression. Xander gulped with a twitched mouth. He hated the food given to him. Everything was bland with no taste at all, and he was a complete foodie who had a sweet tooth! Xander watched his wife enjoying all those luscious sweets in front of his eyes without sharing even a single bite with him, so he mumbled, "Come here closer." Year creased her forehead but before she could understand his intention and stand up and move away, her husband pulled her in for a lousy kiss. Xander was giggling while she pulled out from the kiss. "What the heck¡­" she snorted. Xander shrugged his shoulders and panted, "You wouldn''t give me any bite, so I decided to just taste if it''s yummy as always or does the taste changes in your mouth." "What are you looking at? Go on, eat more then kiss me afterwards¡­" Xander instructed with a sullen look. Yera did not know whether to laugh or scold her husband. In the end, she ended up giving him some bites but Xander insisted on feeding him using her mouth. Xander was grinning hard seeing how his wife could not resist him so he commented, "I guess the new hair did boost my s.e.x appeal¡­" "This is actually gross¡­" Yera mumbled before having another bite and feeding it to her husband to shut him up. "What gross? I even prefer your saliva as dessert more than anything else." "I love you¡­" Xander said next without blinking. Staring directly into her eyes, he grabbed Yera''s hand and whispered, "I''m sorry darling about what happened to our baby¡­" "How?" Yera murmured, confused. She was shocked because her husband mentioned it out of nowhere. Xander kissed her hand and hugged her, letting her rest on his chest. "I am sorry¡­" Xander heard Yera whisper and he could feel her sobbing. "Shhh. Don''t be sorry¡­ Our baby is in a good place and we can always make another one¡­" Xander explained, telling Yera how he had a hunch and later he confirmed it from Dion when she was not around. "I just didn''t want you to keep that burden on your mind about finding a way and time to tell me regarding the incident, so I mentioned it to you myself today." Xander whispered while he gently stroked Yera''s hair and kissed on her head lovingly. ...¡­.. Rizie visited Cali every once in a while whenever she had some free time. Like today, she visited her room during her snack break. "How are you?" she asked as soon as Mr. Lua left the room to give them some time alone. Cali smiled and said, "You ask the same thing whenever you come over¡­" Rizie laughed and responded, "It''s because I wanna make sure you are feeling better than before, every time I meet you." Like her bro Xander, Cali was also bald now though she still looked pretty. "I''m good Riz. You know, I feel all this probably happened so that my grandfather can be enlightened." Cali commented. Lately she had noticed a lot of good changes taking place in her grandfather''s entire personality. She also heard about her grandfather returning everything to Hans and repenting for what he did, from Rizie. She was really relieved that her grandfather returned everything to Hans. "Hmm tell me about you and Dion, how are things progressing? Now we will no longer need to pretend¡­" Cali whispered. Rizie nodded but the reddening of her cheeks were visible when the intimate scene they had inside that tent popped up in her mind. That whole night they both spent in each other''s arms in a very intimate way. Dion took control of her whole body and made her convulse over and over again in sheer pleasure with his excellent skills and methods. He spent the entire night with her in pleasing her until she was dead tired and begged for rest. The next morning was the most difficult moment for her when she woke up in his arms, with her soft skin brushing against his hard muscular chest. She didn''t know how to respond and was then again greeted by a passionate kiss by Dion as soon as he opened his eyes. His teasing smile and satisfied face made her happy even though they had not gone all out with the deed, yet, the closeness and intimacy that they had during that encounter had moved the strings of her heart to a higher level. She did not feel shy during the time when Dion was sucking and rubbing her, but afterwards, she was so conscious that she could not even look into Dion''s eyes directly. She was even grateful that Dion flew immediately to country V after that intimate encounter. "Dion has left right? A reliever visited me instead¡­" Cali murmured. "Yes, just for two days though and he will return soon, by the way Josh keeps on pestering me¡­" Rizie suddenly recalled. Her brother was asking her about Cali and the situation about Dion and all. Josh was not aware that Cali was also one among the victims of the Dami Bridge collapse. Cali chuckled and said, "tell him I''m out of the country and studying abroad right now¡­ now that everything is fine with you and Dion. We can see each other once my hair grows long¡­" Rizie could smell the bickering between the two but no longer pondered about it. Cali was still young and Josh was too busy growing their business. If those two were meant to be then for sure those two would meet regardless of the circ.u.mstance. Cali noticed the ring on Rizie''s necklace so she nonchalantly commented, "Why don''t you wear the ring in your finger? I believe Dion has given this ring to you." "Hmm, yes! But I''m still thinking if I''m worthy enough to wear it or not¡­" Rizie answered with a wink. Cali shook her head and said, "Hmm, I don''t think you should worry if you are worthy or not Rizie. What you should consider is, if he is worthy enough for you to wear that ring? I mean you were always worthy of that ring dear¡­ Yes you may have imperfections but everyone has some imperfections, do not think less of yourself and feel worthless for someone else''s love.

"Come here¡­" his grandfather instructed with a sigh. Dion smiled and hugged him. "It''s been a while child¡­ so long I thought you have already forgotten me¡­" his grandfather muttered. Dion could feel the sullen feeling of his grandfather. "Sorry grandpa¡­" with a low tone he muttered. Another deep sigh from Old Master Chen was heard. "Don''t mind me, my child. I understand the situation you were in and your desire to protect your only sibling¡­ Just that, this grandfather of yours is probably getting old now, don''t know how many days I will live." Old Master Chen said and gently pushed his grandson. "Let''s see. Hmm, you look manlier. Liz! How come you did not bring with you my granddaughter-in-law!" Old Master Chen scolded his daughter. Liz, who had just arrived in their library, twisted her face. As usual, she would receive the scolding on behalf of her son because her dear father would never say anything to his only grandson directly. "It''s your responsibility to arrange everything and let me meet her! Why bother to tell me everything that''s happening to your son when you can''t even arrange simple things like that?" Liz pouted her lips. "Excuse me, dad? It''s you who keeps on pestering me to tell you everything," she silently buzzed like a bee. "Liz! What are you saying? You''re mumbling again like a bee!" Old Master Chen exclaimed with a furrowed forehead. "Nothing dad¡­" Liz meekly answered with a sigh before giving her son a sharp look while Dion only grinned. This kind of scenario happened a lot where he was the one his grandfather wanted to scold whereas his mother would end up receiving all the scolding in the end. Dion sat down on a chair in front of his grandfather and said, "Don''t worry grandpa¡­ Just that this time it''s very chaotic over there, but once everything is settled down I will definitely bring Rizie in here with my sister to meet you. Actually, they are also looking forward to meet you, just when we were planning to come here together, an incident happened¡­" "Ohh yes I saw that on the news¡­ I was planning to meet with Lucas tomorrow about it." Old Master Chen murmured. "Uncle Lucas?" Dion remarked then added, "Grandpa, can I know more about the MIRAGE?" Old Master Chen''s eyes rounded and looked at Liz who immediately tilted her head down and bit her lip. "Before this you seemed to be not interested in it whenever I tried to talk about it¡­" Old Master Chen commented that made Dion give him an awkward smile. It was true that he would always find ways to escape his grandfather whenever he would tell some stories because he often ended up sleeping while listening to them and they never piqued his interest. "Hmm, grandpa¡­ the truth is that I have a lead that points towards a connection with what''s going on right now at country D and Mirage, though I am not sure¡­" and then Dion started to narrate the part about the cyclone tattoo. He noticed that his grandfather''s face darkened. "MIRAGE is a reality my child. It was basically a triad group, a group formed by three clans together, based here in our country but like what the name implies¡­ They prefered to stay as an illusion, because each clan wanted to protect their privacy. So some thought it''s a myth and some who knew it was real, kept their mouth closed about it because those clans are really scary when it comes to offending them." The three clans, Quan, Tai and Yue¡­ are all powerful clans independently also. They have access to everything. To maintain balance, peace and order they had signed a peace treaty but then something went wrong..." Dion was finally enlightened while he listened to his grandfather and showed him some of his writings. He was keeping journals for the group like he was writing a history. "To be honest I''m too old for these but Lucas, King of the Quan Clan wanted me to have a proper and reliable record about the Mirage triad''s history ever since it was established¡­" Old Master Chen explained and told Dion that everything he heard from him should be kept absolutely confidential and must remain between the Chen Family only, him, his grandfather and his mother. "I will meet King Lucas tomorrow¡­ His son would run for presidency in the upcoming elections." his grandfather added that made Dion crumpled his forehead in confusion. "I thought his son was missing and was reported dead¡­." This time Dion heard his mother laugh and say, "You stayed too long with your sister and now you''re so outdated about all the information here. They just hid Chad and now he is back¡­ you know there''s still a silent war going on between the three Clans so everything is pretty complicated right now. But like what father said. That cyclone mark you all saw that was doing the evil deeds was definitely not from the Quan Clan because Quan Clan is a good and respectable one¡­ They are just framing the Quan Clan for everything¡­" Dion scratched his head because he was more confused with the mixed up information. He still could not find the connection of his brother-in-law and sister with that Mirage Triad¡­ Seeing the mayhem on his grandson''s face, Old Master Chen suggested, "Here, open my private room with this and you might probably find whatever it is you''re looking for. I hope this helps you solve the missing piece of puzzle to help your sister.." Dion accepted the keys his grandfather handed him. He immediately stood up from his chair because every second was precious. He was hoping that somehow he could find something because Vin''s words were alarming. Vin¡­ he almost forgot that he had to meet him also. As he went out, his mother followed him from behind. "You! Such a cruel grandson. Can you at least spend at least an hour with your grandfather before getting to whatever purpose you have come here for. Don''t you know how your grandpa misses you, my mouth is paining and head spinning by telling him about you and Rizie again and again everyday. He just asks about you and wants to hear about your daily activities, I get no rest at all unless I do the detailing of everything to him ever since I came back¡­" Dion laughed because it was true that his grandfather loved him too much and he would be definitely pestering his mom by asking her a lot of questions about him. He even loved to ask everything and listen to people then write about them afterwards. No wonder he was a great author of many bestselling books of almost all genres. "Of course mom I will and not just one hour¡­ I will also sleep with him tonight in his room later." Dion muttered before walking directly to his grandfather''s room. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He cursed and excused himself, "Gentlemen, my assistant in here will take over and discuss the rest because I have an emergency¡­" "Bunch of idiots! Go and bring me to Raine this instant!" he hissed to his driver.He had been watching the cctv footage they had from his assassin whom he sent to finish Xander Yang off. Those familiar movements, he couldn''t be wrong. Only Raine could move like that, the flexibility, the skillful attacks¡­ ''This was definitely Raine.'' But Tyron insisted that Raine was not in that area at that time. Raine had a perfect alibi that he would definitely not buy. He would confront that sly little devil fox himself. He reached the private resident where Raine was staying. As he expected, the security was so tight there that even he had to wait long before he could enter. He creased his forehead seeing Raine was doing her exercise in one of her private working areas. "Why do I have a feeling that you''re stabbing me in the back?" Yun directly hissed while sitting on a chair watching Raine sweating profusely while walking towards him. "Uncle¡­ Are you accusing me? How can I stab a pillar like you? Surely I''ll die if I do that.'''' Raine jested as she grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat on her while she joined her uncle and sat beside him on the bench chair. Yun ignored her words and continued, "Xander Yang is mine. I need that credit before your father wakes up. Let me handle it and don''t interrupt!!!" Raine''s face became serious and she calmly stated, "Uncle¡­ You are messing up things. I told you I will handle the man myself but you chose to plan very lousy attacks on him every time¡­ Putting the name of our whole clan in jeopardy. I know everything that you''re doing behind my father''s back. Because of your lousy plans, I will not be surprised if Xander and his people will find out the truth soon. I''m also sure father won''t be pleased if he comes to know of your failures and even brings the mirage triad connected with these stupidities¡­" "You!!!" Yun abruptly stood up and was about to swing his cane on Raine but Tyron blocked Raine with his body. "You insolent!!! You are sharpening your horns thinking you''re the heir that would soon succeed your father but let me tell you one thing¡­ You are just a thing that''s still useful simply because my brother will surely throw you out after he''s done with using you, bi*ch!!!" Yun shouted in rage. Raine could see the old man''s red face with veins bulging on his forehead. "Shh¡­ Stay low¡­" she heard Tyron whisper. Raine had a mocking smirk on her face while she remarked, "Uncle¡­ Careful with your heart and blood pressure. Remember, you''re not getting any younger and your project for immortality is always a failure so if you don''t wanna end up like father, I suggest you keep your cool. Geez. Look what you did? Tyron is bleeding¡­ Anyway, I hope I will no longer receive any disturbances like this again, because I''m focusing on rescuing some of our important people you had assigned to do another lousy job, and who ended up caught by the military and are still in their custody. Geez, I can''t believe you ordered them using the King''s name. If I were you, I would better stay quiet at this point and let me clean all the mess created by you." Raine stood up and gave her uncle once last glance. "Tsk¡­ Tsk... " she mockingly breathed. "Tyron, she is getting out of hand!" Yun exclaimed with his burning glare at Raine''s back. "Does she want all the credit to herself?" he added with gritted teeth. That woman was getting on his nerves ever since she was born. She was a pain in the ass! Always sticking her nose in his business ever since his brother fell in a coma! "You know the Princess has been like that ever since. Please don''t take her words to heart. Her concern is just that Yue Clan won''t get involved in any scandal. Military intelligence has already found out that the mark of the cyclone you used on our people is a fake one, so right now, they have Tai and Yue clans as suspects because of that¡­" Tyron explained. Yun''s face cooled down as he let out a long loud exhale. He wanted Xander to die in a natural way but the man was like a cat having a lot of spare lives, escaping death every time they tried to kill him. The war was still ongoing so he thought it would be good to frame the Quan clan and get them involved with various terrorist attacks in different countries including country D where Xander was residing, and use this opportunity to kill the man using any such attack and yet the man always managed to escape death. He wanted to wrap things up before the King wakes up. He wanted to prove to his brother that he was more reliable than his stubborn daughter who knew nothing but to make a fuss! He looked at Tyron and said, "Make sure you keep her in place Tyron. How come you cannot babysit her well enough? Maybe you should be replaced and I will personally ask the King about it as soon as he opens his eyes!" Tyron clasped his fist as Yun left him. He let out a long disoriented sigh. Babysit her? Raine was a monster and nobody could babysit a monster unless you''re a monster too. Xander Yang, he wondered how long luck would keep him alive. How long Raine would be able to keep the man alive... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Oh my children¡­ Finally we''re all together again. If you only knew how lonely it felt to be alone in this big mansion." Senior Yang blurted out with pouty lips. Xander''s left eyebrow lifted up and with an evil grin he muttered, "You should add a few more people in our family who would live here in the mansion to accompany you, someone like auntie, who never left your side in the waiting room during my surgery. I bet you did not feel lonely during that time¡­" Yera chuckled seeing the blushing of her father-in-law. He was too adorable at his age. She gently elbowed her husband to stop teasing their father. "Hmm, see dad is speechless darling so he actually likes it. We can still tease him a little more." Xander continued, still grinning because his father could not dare scold him. "This brat¡­ Enjoy your moment because you are not in a condition to get beaten up by me right now, but the moment your hair grows I will personally shave you back to being bald." Senior Yang said with a crumpled face. "Dad''s reply is lame right darling?" Xander chuckled and walked with Yera in their room. Yera continuously signaled him to stop already but Xander did not stop there. He paused and added with a little seriousness in his tone, "Dad, I want you to have a companion. You''ve been alone for too long already and it''s really lonely sometimes when we both don''t have time for you. I''m sure even mom would want to see you enjoying your days while living here." Senior Yang left staggered with his son''s words as he stared at the couple getting inside their room. "That brat, how could he sell his father out like that? Doesn''t he know that seeing him living healthy and happy is more than enough for me to not feel lonely and enjoy my days in satisfaction while I''m alive?" he defended in a whisper. Inside the couple''s room, Yera scolded her husband and said, "Your father is old enough to know what he wants and what to do. Stop bullying him like that. Let him be or else I will not take care of you." Xander pouted his lips and complained, "How come you favour my father more than me? Anyway¡­ It''s just an option that he can consider of course. We all know auntie Liz has a big crush on him, and my dad may like her too, however, I know in my dad''s heart it will only be my mom, so I feel like he will turn auntie down. Well, no matter what happens I just want him to give himself a chance too, because unless he is determined about things, it will be unfair for auntie¡­" "Unfair?" Yera asked, a bit confused. Xander nodded and replied, "Yes unfair because he won''t be able to commit his heart to auntie¡­" "Hmm, how about you?" Yera suddenly asked while helping Xander to settle on their bed. "Me? What about me?" Xander asked. "What if I die. Will you have a companion too or another woman in your life?" Yera asked out of curiosity. She was keenly looking at her husband, wondering what his answer would be. Xander''s eyes widened in disbelief and he burst, "Stop saying words like that!" "What? I''m just curious¡­" Yera mumbled as she shrugged her shoulders. "Tell me¡­" she encouraged and even moved on the bed to face him. "Of course I will never have another woman okay! I will only have one woman in my heart and in my life and that would be my wife¡­ My lifetime partner¡­ You¡­" Xander firmly declared with a heavy tone. Yera frowned and muttered, "Yet you are encouraging father to have a companion? I bet he too thinks the same way about mother-in-law." Xander gulped and then thought to ask his dear wife the same question. "How about you? What if I ended up dead? What are you going to do?" "What else? I will move on of course. Remarry and have a good companion to enjoy my days while I live," Yera answered with a serious face and tone, controlling hard not to laugh seeing how sulky her husband''s face had become. Xander felt his face had been splashed by cold water hearing the serious answer coming from his wife. "You said the same thing to your dad. So I presume you will want the same thing for me too, right darling?" Yera teasingly confirmed. Xander gulped and cleared his throat before answering, "Well¡­ Yes of course. I will definitely want you to be happy and move on." There was a long pause and a moment of silence before Xander could not help but say, "Darling, can you at least just say, that you will only have me in your heart and you can''t picture yourself with another man but only me¡­? Then at least let me be the one to say to you about me wanting you to move on and have a good companion and¡­ Geez¡­ Why are you being so straightforward." His face couldn''t be painted at all, sadness clouded his features¡­ Yera laughed and quickly cupped his face and with her sweetest smile countered, "Dear¡­ I''m just messing with you. Of course you''re the only man for me in this life, but whatever happens in the future, though it might be painful¡­ The two of us must keep on going with our lives. We might not need a companion or anything but I''m pretty sure that people around us will be enough to have a meaningful life until we are on earth alright? Nothing is certain, with or without a new companion or whatsoever, life goes on and we need to be strong¡­" Xander sighed and complained, "Darling¡­ That''s a long essay. Of course that''s what I want you to do also¡­" "Hmm, then what''s with that sulky face?" Yera whispered, crinkling her nose.. "Well it simply feels good to hear such words like, you will only have me of course through eternity¡­ Oh let''s stop this topic now." Xander burst with a creased face. Yera chuckled and gave him a gentle kiss on his lips while she uttered, "Darling¡­ Stop thinking about what can happen. Let''s enjoy what we have now and look forward to being with each other as days pass by. Focus on getting fit so we can have little bunnies as additional companions for our lives, shall we?" Xander nodded and gave his wife a bashful roguish smile. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She felt bad that she couldn''t take enough good care of her boyfriend because of the busy schedules at work, especially now that the bosses were both out. She was grateful enough to have Rizie around and a reliable assistant that started working a few days. She let out a long sigh as she grabbed her bag and a paper bag of fruits. She had brought some of her clothes inside her bag also because she had planned to stay overnight at Ron''s house, if the latter would allow and feel comfortable with it. But then she was a bit skeptical about how she would tell Ron about it. She was already inside a cab and she constantly kept on practicing how she could open to Ron about her intention to stay overnight. "Maybe if I''ll just stay up till late? Then probably he will offer me to stay and sleep there?" she mumbled. "Ma''am, are you saying something?" The cab driver asked, thinking that she was talking to him. "Nothing sir, I am just talking to myself," she said with an awkward smile. After a few minutes, she reached Ron''s apartment. She did not inform him that she was coming but she did call him once and check if he was home. She pressed the doorbell and he opened the door for her, "Why are you here?" Shan gave him an awkward smile and murmured, "To give you a surprise visit!" Ron let her in and asked, "You should have told me. I could pick you up instead and we could then go out for dinner¡­" "For me?" Ron asked when Shan handed him the paper bag, Shan nodded and handed the paper bag to Ron before entering his apartment. "It''s okay. I mean you''re hurt and I was unable to check on you these past few days, I was already feeling bad about ignoring you, so I came straight here as soon as I wrapped up everything in the office. Today, I will cook dinner for us both. Now fast, show me your kitchen. This is the least I can do for not showing up in the last few days." Shan explained as she removed her shoes to change into the slippers Ron gave her. Her forehead creased when she saw a familiar pair of shoes in the cabinet of Ron''s various shoe wear near the door. ''Are those my shoes?'' she mused, recalling the same shoes she left the first time she saw Ron. She picked it up and smiled seeing it was the same shoes not only that the shoe with a heel broken was already repaired as well. "Hmm that, I kept that with me. It''s quite a sturdy pair of shoes, I must admire your choice, seeing how many years had passed," Shan felt Ron''s breath as he whispered in her ear and she forgot to breathe for a while. She suddenly felt the lack of oxygen and she exhaled loudly when Ron walked away at a distance from her¡­ ''Is he trying to seduce me?'' "Why cook? Sit here on the couch and I''ll cook for you." He simply said and guided her to the living area. Shan was still silent while she tried to calm herself and her pounding heart. She felt weird with a simple whisper on her ear by him, so much so that her heart was still beating erratically. "Why did you keep those shoes for so many years? They are too old and dull¡­" she nonchalantly commented as she sat on the couch. Shan heard no response. ''Didn''t he hear me?'' she thought as she followed Ron''s back who probably went straight in the kitchen. She stood up and looked around Ron''s apartment. She bet that there was not a single speck of dust in the entire apartment because everything she looked at was clean and shining. She was aware that a man like him was too tidy and organized. But now she had a hunch that he was also a clean freak. Shan''s face cringed. She would never let Ron inside her apartment or else it would look like a junk shop compared to his apartment. Ron''s house was simple and spacious. It was big enough for a family. She giggled as a silly thought flashed into her mind while she stared at the beautiful mini garden he had looking at his veranda. She was too advanced in thinking and she already started picturing their kids playing around in that beautiful little garden. "Silly me¡­" she voiced out. ""Why?" She almost jumped up with that sudden comment near her ear that she almost lost her balance with the sudden twirling of her body. Good thing Ron caught her with his arms on her waist while she unconsciously wrapped her arms on his neck as a reflex. "You easily get startled," Ron commented with knitted brows. Shan gave him another awkward smile and murmured, "Haha¡­ I guess so¡­" "I forgot to tell you to feel at home and roam around but I guess I don''t need to¡­" Ron with a blank face said while he helped her back to her feet allowing her to maintain her balance. Ron gave her a quick smile and said, "Arms please. It''s almost dark. I''m cooking dinner." Shan''s face reddened and she quickly removed her arms. Her lips pursed as she watched Ron walk back into the kitchen. Then she let out another sigh¡­ She wondered why Ron was a bit stiff most of the time but he talked such straightforwardly. "He should be more straightforward in action than in words¡­" She complained with pouted lips guessing it would be not good to stay overnight because she was sure Ron would insist on sending her home after dinner. Shan was even betting on herself if she would end up being sent to her apartment or not as she walked back inside to watch Ron cook dinner. "Don''t you need help?" she asked as she sat on the chair at his kitchen counter. "No, it''s fine. It''s your first time here so I want to cook for you." Ron replied while cutting onions. "How''s your leg?" Shan asked next. "My legs are fine now." Shan nodded and murmured, "That''s good." She noticed that Ron was walking normally now, so he must be in good shape already besides she heard he was still working at home though he was not directly reporting in the office. "Do you wanna sleep here tonight?" Shan heard Ron casually ask while he was chopping some vegetables. She was caught off guard and blinked several times at Ron who seemed to be busy with chopping. ''What should I say?'' she mused as she bit her lower lip. "I mean I have a guest room where you can stay and relax for the night. I would like to chat more with you tonight so we can spend more time together because we both usually have a busy schedule¡­" Shan heard Ron explain further. ''Chat, only chat the whole night? Nothing else? How boring would that be?'' Shan silently asked in her head but did not dare to voice out. Instead she whispered, "Alright. Let''s do that¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He came to know of the triad''s history with the journal that had been passed on to his grandfather. He looked at the side table and gulped. Those were the drafts done by his grandfather. He wondered if he could skip some pages but somehow he was intrigued about Mirage''s history. His grandfather was quite old now and he would pass this information soon to another writer. According to her father, the King had already chosen a person who would continue to write the happenings between all the three clans and it was none other than her sister''s idol, the known news anchor turned writer Gavin Wu. He stood up to stretch his arms and legs when the door opened and his grandfather entered. "Look at you still awake till this late." his grandfather commented. Dion grinned and muttered, "It''s because you''re not allowing me to take these files away with me. I really pity Gavin. I mean endorsing these files?" he commented while shaking his head. His father followed the old ways while everything could be organized well with the use of the latest technology these days. "Well it will be his problem anyway," his grandfather answered with a laugh as he walked towards a shelf and pulled out something. "Here, I have made a family tree of the three clans. It''s best you see this one and remember each member from this, so in case you meet any of them you''ll be more careful with your actions. It''s not updated though so some of the people in these photos might be the same age as your mother. The young generations pics are also not in here yet but I do have their names written so maybe you can remember those names and be careful not to offend any of them in case you come across them." Dion''s grandfather explained as he handed him the albums. Dion skipped the old ones and years of those photos of the persons who were already dead by now. He flipped the pages fast but paused at one picture and flipped the page back. "Why? You noticed someone you know?" His grandfather asked while he looked at the photos of women in that picture. Dion''s forehead creased as he stared at the particular photo. The photo was taken too long ago and if Dion was right, they were just in their early teens in the picture. "Grandpa¡­." Dion muttered. "Huh?" "Who are they?" Dion asked while his heart started to beat like a drum roll. He even took his mobile phone and took a snapshot of the photo. "Hmm, gorgeous aren''t they? They died so young¡­ Such pity¡­ If I''m not mistaken they died when they turned eighteen¡­" His grandfather started to narrate. Dion was starting to understand the situation and somehow beginning to start assembling the jumbled puzzle in his head. But of course those were just his assumptions based on the story he was hearing from his grandfather. He would still need concrete details of certain things. "Grandpa, are these the only photos of them we have?" Dion asked as he flipped on the other pages of the album. "Yeah, that''s all child. Why don''t you rest now and continue tomorrow?" Dion''s grandfather suggested. Dion sighed and gave him a smile. "Grandpa, you go to bed first and I will follow you shortly. I will just make a few calls and send a few important emails first." "Alright then. I will leave you now¡­" Dion''s grandfather said as he stood up. "Grandpa," Dion muttered, stopping his grandfather from walking out on his private room. "Do you think it will be possible for me to meet uncle Lucas tomorrow?" he asked, which made his grandfather sighed. "I will check but you see that Lucas¡­ How should I put it¡­ There''s no way for me to contact him and he was always the one reaching me for anything. Well, let''s try approaching his secretary, though I never had tried doing this before¡­" Dion sighed and said, "Thanks grandpa¡­ Goodnight." As soon as his grandfather left, Dion took a lot of snap shots and sent everything to the team. He then paused for a while and stared at his mobile phone. There was no message nor missed call from Rizie at all. He tried to call her but her number only kept on ringing and he was getting worried already so he again pressed her number and called her. He made a sigh of relief when the call was finally answered. "Hello," he smiled hearing the familiar voice of his girlfriend. "How come I manage to get a hold of you only now? Why are you not answering my call since hours?" he asked with a bit of sulky tone. Rizie bit her lip. To be honest she was still feeling shy after their intimate encounter, soon after which Dion had left to meet his grandfather, she felt so fl.u.s.tered whenever she thought about that night that she did not dare talk to Dion normally. Even a while ago, she kept on turning and tossing on her bed as she tried to sleep but all those moments with Dion kept on flashing in front of her eyes like a movie. Then she would pull her hair like a crazy person and let out a suppress scream of embarrassment. Recalling how loud she was and how she acted that night¡­ Rizie wanted to hide in a pit forever... "Oh yeah. S- Sorry about it. Just that today, yes I...I was busy, too busy to return your missed calls and messages¡­" Rizie explained in a low voice, stammering a bit. Hoping that Dion would end the topic here not bring up what happened between them in that tent to tease her. "Oh! Were you busy or were you trying to avoid me because of what happened between us in the tent?" Dion teased, grinning hard because he had a hunch that Rizie was intentionally avoiding him. Well, knowing his girlfriend so well he knew, she was surely avoiding him. Hearing the silence on the other line made Dion chuckle. "Stop teasing me." she said after a moment of silence. "Hmm, alright I won''t tease you but make sure you won''t ever avoid me. How come it seems that you do not miss me at all?" Dion asked next, still grinning while he pictured how red, like a ripened tomato, his girlfriend would be right at that moment. Just too bad he was not there to see her beautiful red face. "Of course I miss you. Just stop teasing me now, okay? I''m so embarrassed." Rizie could not help but voice out. "Why? I liked it too much but... I mean hearing you call my name over and over again, in your such enticing voice and your soft m.o.a.ns¡­" "Stop!!!!!!" Rizie burst out with a shrunken face. She would definitely pull her boyfriend''s hair if he dared to tease her like that in person. Dion laughed and said, "Alright. I just wanna hear your voice. Rizie, I miss you, I really miss you very much. Sigh! I might be busy tomorrow but I will still call you whenever I get time or in the evening." "Alright, please take care of yourself there¡­" Rizie said. "Hmm¡­ I will. That''s all you wanted to say to me?" Dion asked. "I miss you too¡­" Rizie quickly said before ending the call. She was too embarrassed due to that one time, that she did not know how to face Dion when he would return. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She again looked at the wall clock and saw it was still three in the morning. She was having a light sleep tonight¡­ She sighed then pouted her lips. "Why did I even plan to sleep in here?" she mumbled. She was still at Ron''s apartment and she was wearing Ron''s pair of pajamas. She''s been like that for quite sometime now, having a small nap then waking up every now and then. After another few minutes of staring at the ceiling, Shan decided to get up to drink some warm milk to help her sleep. She went out of the room with pursed lips as she looked at Ron''s room door. ''Am I not attractive enough for him, at least he should ask me to sleep on the same bed with him?'' She mused with her most sour face. She went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. "What are you looking for?" "Ahhhh!" She screamed suddenly hearing Ron''s voice from behind. "Are you trying to kill me?" She complained with her hand massaging her chest because she felt she almost had a heart attack because of that. It was dark and she had not opened the lights in the kitchen, so she couldn''t clearly see Ron''s face. "I can''t sleep. Do you have milk? I couldn''t find any in the fridge." She casually said as she turned around back to check the fridge. Ron turned the lights on and said, "I have powder milk¡­" Shan turned and stared at him as he grabbed the milk inside the closet. "Why are you still awake too?" She asked. "It''s hard to sleep when you know your girlfriend is just right there in the other room beside your''s, in your own apartment!" Ron muttered. "Huh?" Shan breathed. She wondered if she could interpret that as a compliment. She watched Ron prepare two glasses of hot milk, one for each one of them. Shan was curious to find out why it was hard for him to sleep so she murmured, "Why is it hard to sleep for you while I''m here?" She saw Ron chuckled for the first time. ''Did I say something funny?'' She wondered. Ron now with a small smile on his lips looked at her closely and bluntly said, "It''s hard because I keep having evil thoughts of crossing into your room." Shan blinked and suddenly became so nervous that she unconsciously grabbed the cup of milk and drank it mindlessly. "Ouch! it''s hot!" Shan exclaimed and Ron quickly gave her water. "Didn''t you see that I just poured hot water to make the milk in cups?" Ron scolded. Shan bashfully smiled. "How about we sleep together?" She voiced out without her knowing. She blinked several times, flushing profusely on the words that left her mouth while Ron stared at her with arched brows unblinkingly. Shan''s face twitched as she covered her lips gently slapping her mouth for betraying her emotions. "Are you sure?" She heard the hoarse and heavy voice of Ron confirming her words. Shan nodded. Both of them ended up sleeping in Ron''s room on the same bed. Shan did not dare to move a single bit on the bed and kept lying there with her eyes closed. Ron was beside her not moving at all just like her so she mused, ''Is he asleep already?'' She sighed because she could not sleep at all with her heart thumping so fast. While she was thinking about ways to drift off to sleep, she felt Ron move and whisper to her, "Are you sleeping?" Shan turned to her side and moved to face him and answered, "Not yet¡­" Their faces were too close. "This is why I wanted you to sleep in the other room because I knew it would be really hard to control this¡­" Before Shan could ask, Ron moved his hands, held her head from the back and suddenly she felt Ron''s lips on hers. They kissed for a long time while cuddling each other and Shan felt like she was at cloud nine. Everything felt like a dream but she knew it was happening for real. Ron was becoming aggressive with each passing second and then he suddenly deepened the kiss when he felt Shan was responding to him. They started to become more intimate and started moving their hands and touching each other when their lovely time was interrupted by Ron''s mobile phone''s ringing. Ron ignored it once, but the mobile phone kept on ringing continuously. Shan was the one to pull out from the kiss and said, "Answer it. It''s probably an important call¡­" Ron gave him a sounding kiss before grabbing his phone and said, "I''ll be right back soon." Shan saw Ron answer the call and leave the room for talking. She smiled and pulled the comforter to hide in it. She was giggling as she closed her eyes. "I''m sleepy¡­" she mumbled before closing her eyes and dozed off. Outside, Ron switched his laptop and checked the files Dion sent. After making a few calls and endors.e.m.e.nt, he went back inside the room after around half an hour. ''Mirage'' they already tried to get some information about the triad but there was only limited information, unless there would be a whistleblower from one of the clans. Yet they got to know from a reliable source that before a traitor from each clan opened their mouth, they would end up being killed first. He went back inside his room and smiled seeing Shan was already having her little snores indicating she was already in deep sleep. He gently joined her on the bed while carefully embracing her. He gave her a soft kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight¡­" he whispered before closing his eyes to sleep. He was grateful Shan visited him because he truly missed her a lot. However, he understood the hectic schedules not to mention that this was a crucial time since all their bosses were not around so both of them needed to fill in. So he kept controlling the urge to be with her so she could keep her focus on her work properly. Being an executive assistant was not that simple and easy. He sighed. He almost lost control but he was irritated and thankful at the same time both to Rui and Dion who distracted his crucial moment at this hour. He snuggled his face on Shan''s neck to feel her warmth and smell her scent before sighing hard, hoping he too could sleep soon, despite getting distracted with Shan''s warmth. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She wanted to make sure Cali was well, not only because of Dion''s request to personally check on her while he was away but also because she understood Cali was a girl of very clear heart. "It''s nice to see you doing well. I guess Dion did a meticulous operation on you as he claimed. Surely you can go home as early as tomorrow." Yera said after checking Cali''s condition. Cali had her warm smile on her face as she said, "Yes, I''m really grateful to Dion for saving my life. By the way, how is Xander?" "He''s also doing well. You two can soon go back to your usual life routines in not a very long time, just make sure to follow every instruction carefully¡­" Yera stated as she briefed Cali with her condition. "Miss, your mobile phone is ringing again," Cali''s nanny informed her as soon as Yera left the room. "Who is it Nanny Shine?" Cali asked but somehow she felt like she knew who was it. "My slave¡­" Cali''s nanny answered with a teasing look. Cali frowned. "What''s with him pestering me these past few days?" She mumbled, wondering what it was Josh needed this time. Her grandfather would not allow her to hold her mobile phone saying she should avoid using gadgets yet, so her nanny was the one holding her mobile and she was relaying to her the text messages coming in. "Shall I read the messages from your slave? I see a lot of messages from your slave in your inbox." Cali''s nanny asked, still covered with that teasing grin on her face. Cali simply nodded. She was curious what it was this time. Last time he asked why she was not answering her at all after the fuss she made with his family. Cali giggled recalling that funny face of Josh the moment she entered the restaurant and found out he had an instant girlfriend. "Primadonna, answer my call will you. Be responsible and face me. Do you know what I have to endure because of that act and scene you did? I will make you pay for it¡­ Don''t you dare run away¡­" Her nanny read. "What the heck?! Why does he sound irritated by my act of me being his girlfriend? Duh! He should feel honored. It''s a great privilege to even fake a relationship with such an awesome girl like me. Right nanny Shine?" Cali hissed with furrowed eyebrows. Nanny Shine gulped and immediately said yes seeing the arching of the brows of Cali at her. However, she could not help but add, "Maybe he''s a bit unlucky too because you are pretty childish and stubborn, so I think I can actually understand his sentiments." Cali pouted her lips and rolled her eyes. Nanny Shine was like a mother to her since she took care of her like her own daughter since her mother died giving birth to her. Not so long, her father followed¡­ He killed himself¡­ Since then she has grown up with her grandfather and nanny as her family. Her grandfather did spoil her to the maximum level since childhood. "Shall I type a reply to him this time? I think he''s just worried for you and wanna make sure that you''re okay? So he keeps on calling or messaging." Nanny Shine concluded. She was aware of Cali''s situation since her child never hid a thing from her. The two of them were practically partners in crime as what Mr. Lua would always complain. "Hmm, tell him that I will not run away anywhere, but if he wants to chase me then why not and good luck Bullyman." Cali said giggling as she pictured Josh''s irritated face once he read the word ''bullyman'' since he hated it. Nanny Shine shook her head as she obeyed what Cali wanted her to reply. "Oh! Also tell him that I will be in hibernation for a month or so, and so he can get some rest from hearing anything from me. Tell him to tell auntie and his family that I won''t be able to visit for a month because I need to go out of the country for some urgent work." Cali stated. "Hold on¡­ Why don''t you just tell him the truth. And Cali, my child¡­ You both are just pretending, right? So why do you bother to send regards to his family?" Nanny Shine questioned. Cali wrinkled her nose at her while she said with a smile, "I like his family nanny Shine. A lot... They are all nice and warm people. I mean, I have high respect and admiration for his family. They are so loveable that I dreamed of having a family like his¡­ I''m envious of him to be honest." Nanny Shine sighed and stood up from her chair and sat on the bedside of Cali''s bed while she gently grabbed her hands. "Child, don''t think much about it. You still have your grandfather and me. I''m sure your grandfather will soon be an adorable and understanding one¡­ Especially now that he''s changed so much and has realised the worth of life over money and power¡­" Then she added, "Also you too, of course will have your own family, once you find that man who can finally make you feel that thing you say you''re looking for¡­ what is it again?" Cali laughed seeing her nanny''s brows knitted as she tried to recall the proper words she would often say. "Nanny Shine, it''s the spark and impact I''m looking for¡­" "Oh right, who knows it could be your slave¡­" Nanny Rong teased, pertaining to Josh that Cali named as ''my slave'' on her mobile phone. Cali''s face crumpled as she defended, "Excuse me nanny Shine. He''s not my type. The man is a total bully and very rough with words. No gentleness at all in his body gestures and vulgar too sometimes. He just speaks whatever is on his mind even though it''s annoying. He often complains of my whining, calling me primadonna and spoiled brat. Could you believe that he even threatened me about cleaning his barn as payment for taking care of me during my stay in their province..." Nanny Shine shook her head as Cali continued to express her dislikes for the man. After she found some opportunity to interrupt Cali she said, "Child I can feel that spark and impact between you both¡­" "Huh? Nanny Shine what are you saying?" Cali asked, confused. Nanny Shine chuckled and said, "Rest my child¡­ I will memorize everything, word by word, you said about Josh, if you repeat the same thing tomorrow once you get another call and more messages from him. The impact indeed seems to be heavy though you have just been with him for such a short period of time. I can also see the spark whe¡­" "Stop nanny Shine. You''re spurting nonsense again." "Alright¡­ Stop frowning and rest my child. If you say so about him then so be it¡­" Nanny Shine controlled her grinning seeing how irritated Cali was at that point. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They wanted the couple to focus on healing each other not only physically but mentally and mostly emotionally since they had been through a lot. Rui stared at the photos that Dion sent and he sighed. He grabbed his mobile phone and called Ralf. "Is there a way we can confirm about their deaths? Yes I know it''s quite difficult but let''s still try. Dion might extend his stay in that country to get more reliable information. I will talk about this to uncle James too today." Rui said before ending his call. ''She looks so much like auntie¡­ But something is missing and feels off with how the story goes.'' he mused as he looked one more time at the photos. Rui got ready to visit Yang Ancestral mansion. When he arrived, he saw Xander doing his required therapy in his private working room with his private therapist. "How''s the company?" Xander asked while he was doing some arm stretching.. "Well it''s never been this great as it is now under my supervision. I think I can replace you soon as the CEO and I bet the board members will be happier to have me as CEO too, given how easy I am to handle than to handle you¡­" Rui jested as he grabbed a bite of the snack Xander''s helper brought him. "Where''s Yera?" Rui asked next. "She''s at Life Hospital now. Cali will be discharged today so she has gone to personally handle her case while Dion is still not here. I wonder why he is extending his stay¡­" Rui heard Xander commented. "Well, he''s been away for too long and if I was his grandfather I would scold him big time if he dare leave again after a day or two. He should at least stay for five days if not for a few weeks you know." Xander nodded since Rui had a valid point. "Dr. CEO, let me leave you for awhile and give my respect to uncle James. You please focus on getting well soon, so that I don''t have to disturb you for a long time my friend. I can''t wait for your return because my feet are already itching to travel." Xander laughed as he watched his friend leave. Indeed, his friend Rui had already started complaining because the man could not even last staying caged for more than a few weeks, much to his dismay he was stuck for that long. Rui loved to explore the world and with his absence the latter had no choice at all but to stay put in his cage and look after the Yang Globals. Rui saw Senior Yang sitting in a garden outside the mansion, his late wife''s garden, where he was having his alone and quiet time staring at the beautiful landscape before him. "Hmm, you are keeping the garden very beautiful and well uncle." Rui commented as he sat on the chair opposite Senior Yang. "Oh Rui, it''s nice you visited. Xander is having his therapy¡­" Senior Yang commented with a warm smile. "Yup, I already saw him uncle. To be honest, today I''m here to personally see you and talk to you. But I want to keep everything that we discuss from Xander and Yera for the meantime." Rui started before letting out a long sigh. He heard that this garden was personally landscaped by uncle Jame''s late wife. He hadn''t got the chance to meet his wife because she was already dead when he and Xander became friends. Rui had no spare time to waste so he did not beat around the bush and told Senior Yang about what Dion found. "Let me see the photos¡­" Senior Yang muttered. Rui handed him his mobile phone to show the photos. "They said they died a long time ago at the age of eighteen. The family kept it a secret and did not disclose much about how they died¡­" Rui saw Senior Yang closed his eyes. "Rui to be honest I did not know much about the past of my wife¡­ Her background or anything¡­ All I knew was that she had an identical twin. Both of them, Kanya, my wife and Kelly, her sister, were orphans, that''s what I know. I met Kanya during a charity event. She was an officer and was quite good at tracking criminals. How we first met is quite embarrassing but it was love at first sight for me. To be honest, at first she seemed the type not interested in a relationship but I pursued her incessantly¡­" Senior Yang unconsciously laughed as he recalled his past days with his wife, especially those times when he courted her. "It was more like stalking her¡­" Senior Yang jested as he stared at the photos of twins. "I wish I could help Rui but my wife''s past¡­ I have no idea at all because she did not disclose anything to me. I am also as confused as you are but these photos definitely look like my wife and her twin." Senior Yang confirmed while the sudden pain of the tragic death of his wife returned back in his memory. "Uncle¡­ I''m sorry to bring this up but Dion strongly believes that Xander is connected to the twins that were under the Yue Clan. We are not sure as yet, but me and Dion believed that auntie Kanya was part of the Yue Clan and the twins in the photos we found were the same twins you met here in our country. It all seems to be connected¡­ Xander''s life had always been in danger because of this connection, and we have to go to the depth of it and find out everything as soon as possible." Rui expressed his mind. "My wife always wanted her identity hidden, that''s why I made sure she was never exposed to the media or to anything at all. Now all that she did and hid from the media makes pretty much sense¡­ Before I thought she requested that because she wanted her privacy since her status was very different from mine¡­ To avoid her getting hurt also from malicious news and bashing, I did everything in my power to hide her identity and the same goes to Bernard''s mother who even changed her name from Kelly to Nerrie¡­" Senior Yang suddenly burst out. "Oh God¡­ Kelly''s and Bernard''s death? Kanya''s death?" Senior Yang with a trembling body suddenly uttered with fear. Rui held Senior Yang''s hand and said, "Uncle it could be so¡­ I mean could be connected if auntie and her twin are the ones in this photo. Nothing is confirmed yet but Dion said that no one was allowed to go out of each clan nor turn their backs to their clan¡­ It''s simply punishable by death¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She gently caressed her stomach and murmured, "Baby, we are going to visit your dad today." Until now, she was contemplating whether or not she should visit Lyndon in the detention center. The trial was still ongoing but it was expected that soon a verdict would be released. She was in her house in the Capital city and Yera was generous enough to provide her a private nurse and doctor who checked on her every once in a while. Yesterday, the doctor gave her a thumbs up to go out knowing she would only visit Lyndon. Jam had the same routine everyday and was engaged in cooking most of the time, simultaneously learning to make different cuisines and she was now highly encouraged to put up her own restaurant after she had paid for her sins. Her helper helped her in carrying the lunch boxes she had prepared for Lyndon. She also baked some sweets like pastries and cookies with the new recipes she learned. "Ma''am isn''t this too much for one single person?" Her helper commented as they went inside the car. Jam chuckled and said, "I guess you''re right. I just got too excited to let him taste whatever I made." Her driver started the engine and they hit the road going towards the detention center. Jam was quiet throughout the ride. She was occupied in deep thought and would let out a smile every once in a while, thinking how lucky she still was after everything. She would not need to worry about her child anymore and that was what mattered the most to her. The car finally stopped when they arrived at their destination. Jam released a loud exhale before going out of the car and entering the detention entrance. Last time it was her parents she was here to visit and now it was Lyndon. She waited inside the private room for Lyndon, feeling nervous while she thought of words to say to him. The door opened and Jam smiled seeing Lyndon entering the room. He was handcuffed and was wearing the uniform of a prisoner. Never in her entire life had she pictured Lyndon in this situation ever. He had lost a lot of weight and there were heavy dark circles under his eyes that seemed to be the result of lack of sleep. Jam''s heart ached seeing his condition. She could tell he was not doing good at all. But then everyone should receive punishment for all the wrongdoings they have done. She too was now mentally ready to face her punishment as soon as her child was born. Lyndon smiled at her and sat on the chair opposite hers. Jam sighed seeing Lyndon quickly retract his eyes from her and tilted his head down. "Please don''t Lyndon¡­ I can not see you bow your head so low like this in front of me." Jam whispered. "Tell me how are you? Looking at your thin body I can say you''re not good. See, I have prepared a lot of food for you myself, so make sure you eat it all and finish everything and gain some weight." Jam said with a lively tone. Then she grabbed the ultrasound photo of their baby from her bag and handed it to Lyndon. Lyndon took it and tears suddenly fell from his eyes. Jam watched him as he touched the photo with his finger. "I''m sorry Jam¡­" Lyndon whispered. Jam smiled sadly and nodded, she was controlling her tears with all her efforts and then she stood up and walked to his side. She stood in front of him, she gently placed her hand on his head and let him rest on her belly as he sobbed. Tears rolled down her own eyes also as she also felt the pain that he was in. "Shhh¡­ You just need to stay strong Lyndon. Whatever the verdict will be, just stay strong and keep yourself healthy and alive so you can meet our child well when the right time comes. I am sure you will not get a lifetime sentence Lyndon just a few years in prison at most. Just do good while you''re inside the prison and wait for your freedom¡­" Jam murmured slightly sobbing herself. Then she wiped her tears and forced a smile on her face and continued, "Don''t worry I will visit you more often and keep you updated about our child''s each and every activity. I will make sure that you''ll be able to hold our child too once he is born." Lyndon was speechless. All he could do was sob and nod to her words. He was ready to face his punishment for whatever he had done but somehow he was hoping that he could also be a good father to his child someday. Jam gently pushed Lyndon and said, "Next time I will bring you some books, blankets and some other things that you can use." She chuckled and jested, "You already need to shave or else you will look like a samaritan soon¡­" She was grateful that Lyndon accepted her visit because she heard that Lyndon refused to accept any of his family to visit him probably because he was too embarrassed to be seen in that state and also because he didn''t want them to worry about his condition. "Lyndon, is it okay if I visit your family too? I think they should know about my pregnancy. I also want them to take care of our baby as soon as I deliver." Jam straightforwardly stated. Lyndon paused and wiped the tears from his face. He could not believe he cried like that in front of Jam. ''How unmanly,'' he mused while he composed himself. "Yes you can talk to them and please tell them not to worry about me and that I''m doing well." he whispered, he couldn''t look straight towards Jam and held his head down. "Alright¡­ I will relay your message to them but you have to make sure you live up to your words. You must eat well and improve in health, don''t think too negatively and when your family sees you at the date of verdict¡­ You should at least look well Lyndon. Looking at you as you are now, their heart will surely ache¡­" Lyndon nodded only at Jam in understanding. Then Jam heard him say, "Can I keep the ultrasound copy?" Jam smiled and said, "Of course though you can''t still see our baby there since he''s still small." "He? Is he a boy?" Lyndon asked looking at Jam suddenly. Jam laughed at that. "You were the CEO of a hospital chain and yet you still lack the knowledge on simple medical stuff like this. Of course we don''t know the gender yet. Maybe at three or four months the ultrasound can tell¡­ I just presume it''s a boy but then we''ll never know yet this early¡­" Lyndon scratched his head and Jam could see him reddened of embarrassment. It was nice talking like this with Lyndon, a smooth natural conversation, something not forced like before where their conversations were robotic and dull. She hoped for the best for him. That moment on Jam decided to help Lyndon gain some positivity by being an encouragement to him since Lyndon''s pride was preventing him from opening up with his family. She would be glad to be a friend he could rely on at his crucial moment like this. After all, he was the father of her baby. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He shook his head as he entered his hiding point. "Geez¡­ Why can''t you choose a nice place to stay? This place is too creepy for a normal human!" Dion commented as he put the lights in Vin''s place on. Vin only laughed as he dried his hair. He had just come out from shower and stood shirtless and with only a towel covering his lower body. "Bro, do you want some drink? Don''t underestimate my dungeon because it''s one of the safest places on earth, you know." Vin commented while he grabbed a shirt to wear. "Looks like you''re working out well lately," Dion commented, seeing the abs his friend has made compared to the last time he saw him, another pack of muscles added. "Well with the kind of line of my work, it is necessary that I should stay fit." Vin casually answered and sat on the couch opposite Dion while he threw a can of beer towards his friend. "Work? Do you need abs and muscles while you do hacking?" Dion mumbled. Vin laughed out hard and justified, "Who says that I am only a hacker. I''m the jack of all trades bro. But anyway, here''s what I found for you. I have all the info of your interest printed out and kept for you because it won''t be safe to send to you by mail because of the risk of being traced by any of the clans in the triad." "How about you? Won''t they manage to trace you?" Dion pointed and got worried for his friend''s safety. "Nah¡­ They won''t be able to, so don''t worry about me bro. Worry about your family because if we are correct and our suspicion is right, then this is something really scary bro." Vin muttered because being against any one of the clan meant you''re as good as dead. "Bro, though I''m not sure about it and I don''t want to give you false hope but I will try to help you out with this as much as I can." Vin stated. "Thanks Bro. But please make sure you stay safe. If you smell danger make sure to retract." Dion replied in a serious tone. "Of course I will. By the way, don''t forget to call me at your wedding¡­" Vin teased upon knowing his best buddy finally had a girl. "Of course, you''re going to be my best man bro. Try coming out of your dungeon also sometimes. Don''t waste your good looks by always hiding in this dark pit!" Dion scolded. Vin only laughed at him while Dion''s face twitched as he added, "Why don''t you come with me and I''ll arrange a decent job for you." "No thanks bro. I love what I''m doing here, you know¡­" Vin defended. Dion no longer debated with him and after a few more small talks he soon bid his farewell to him since he had another meeting scheduled that same day to meet uncle Lucas along with his grandfather. ... At Country D "How is everything?" Yera asked Rizie while the two of them sat down to enjoy a cup of coffee at the cafeteria at the ground floor of Life Hospitals. Yera had reported to personally handle Cali''s discharge process and sign her discharge report, and since she was already in the hospital, she took time to check on Rizie who she knew was very busy in the office these past few days. Rizie rolled her eyes followed by a deep loud sigh. "Sis, how about I resign?" She muttered with a twisted mouth. Yera had a soft laugh and commented, "It''s up to you Riz just don''t resign being Dion''s girlfriend." Yera intentionally said that because she noticed the ring on Rizie''s necklace and somehow she felt sad that Rizie was not wearing it on her finger knowing Dion gave it to her, because Dion consulted her about the design of the ring. "Of course not sis. What makes you think I will ever do that. Also, I''m not serious about resigning at work too. I like what I''m doing and somehow being a great help to Dion." Rizie expressed her feelings. Yera pointed with her lips towards Rizie''s necklace before she sipped on her coffee. "Oh this¡­ Yes, Dion gave this to me before he left for meeting his grandpa, he told me that he will wait until I wear this in my finger. To be honest sis I have a surprise for him," Rizie giggled and Yera''s face suddenly lit up while she listened to Rizie who sounded excited about her surprise to Dion. She even asked Yera for her opinions. Then Rizie''s face suddenly became serious as she said, "Sis, I forgot to ask you, how are you?" Yera gave her a warm smile and said, "I''m already fine Rizie. Seeing Xander working hard to get back on track was enough encouragement for me Rizie¡­" Rizie held her hand and gently pressed it. "Yes sis, hang in there. Everything will be fine soon. Good things will definitely happen to good people. God never gives us a trial we can''t surpass and I really admire you and bro Xander for staying strong throughout." Yera smiled and winked at Rizie. "Let''s go back to you and Dion. I hope the best for the two of you¡­ I was worried before but I believe I don''t need to worry now¡­" Yera whispered that made Rizie blushed. Indeed that was true, her sis Yera did not need to worry because Rizie knew in herself that she loved Dion and he was the man she always pictured to share her life with. "By the way, why did Dion extend his stay there? I thought he would be back in two days?" Yera recalled to ask because Shan informed her that Dion would be out of the country for another three days. "Oh yeah¡­ He needs to check more info about the Mirage. I think he will try to get more details about one of the clans in that triad. Oh do you know that bro Xander''s mother could be a part of the Yue Clan?" Rizie burst and suddenly paused seeing Yera''s confused face. She covered her lips unconsciously when she realized that Yera was probably not aware of the current situation. Rizie cursed herself for being talkative and Dion as well for not informing her to keep everything a secret from Yera. "I want to know every detail Rizie. Start from the beginning," she heard Yera instructed. Rizie gulped... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She understood the reason behind Dion and Rui not updating her and Xander about the current situation, however, she felt that at least she should be aware of things like this if not Xander. "When will this all end?" She mumbled in a low tone as she lazily closed her eyes. Xander was on the bed taking a nap so Yera lied down on the couch that was not facing Xander. She then opened her eyes and let out a long sigh before stretching her mouth into a beautiful smile. She was grateful for having such a reliable brother like Dion who truly cared for her and such a caring husband like Xander and also for a friend like Rui, who along with Dion was doing everything they could to get to the root of the incident and to keep her and Xander safe. "Darling," Yera heard Xander called. Yera immediately stood up and carved a beautiful smile on her face as she walked towards Xander who was now in a sitting position on the bed. "Was it hectic?" he asked referring to her reporting at the hospital. Yera pouted her lips and gave her husband a peck on his lips followed by a tight hug. "Yeah. I missed you so much that I wanted to come home quickly. How was your therapy today?" Xander grinned and said, "Doing good as usual I can''t wait to be fit like before you know¡­ In no time you''ll see, I will be just like I was before. By the way Rui visited this morning to check on us and he boasted about how well he is handling the group without me. That bastard is actually itching to run away as soon as I resume office, still he has the nerve to tease me like this." "Haha, him and Dion have a lot on their plates right now. Good thing those two aren''t married yet or else they will both be doomed¡­" Yera jested. Xander chuckled in agreement with his wife and gently pushed her to take a better look of her beautiful face. But then he knitted his brows looking at his wife''s face. "Darling, you look exhausted. Since Cali has already been discharged, now rest more here and stay at home with me." "Yes, I will darling," Yera answered smiling and again snuggled into her husband''s embrace. "Dad said that he had prepared a lot of indoor and outdoor light activities for us both so we won''t get bored staying at home." Xander relayed. He could still remember how excited his father was while he told Xander about it. Yera broke from his hug and looked at Xander intently. Xander felt something was running in her mind but she was not saying it. "What''s wrong?" Xander asked, seeing the seriousness on his wife''s face. Yera shook her head and gave him a gentle sweet kiss before she whispered, "I love you so much¡­" Xander''s face turned crimson red because of the sudden rush of hormones because of her words, he raised his eyebrows in delight as he really didn''t expect such sweet display of her love from her own mouth. He was squealing inside hearing those words in her voice. Those were the words he could never get tired of hearing from her because Yera rarely said such honey dipped words to him. "I love you so so so so so much too darling." Xander countered and showered Yera''s face with his small kisses. .... Back at Country V, Dion met with uncle Lucas along with his grandfather in an exclusive high end restaurant set by uncle Lucas. "Dion, look at you. It''s been a long time since I last saw you when I came to your mansion. Did you know how your grandfather longed for you while you were away? He never stopped bragging to me about how good a surgeon you have become, climbing the heights of perfection in your profession," praised uncle Lucas as soon as they were seated on their chairs. It had been a long time since he saw uncle Lucas. The man would always come to their mansion to visit his grandfather. What he remembered was the scenes after every time uncle Lucas visited them, every time both his grandfather and uncle Lucas would often lock themselves in his grandfather''s private room for an important meeting. Now he knew the reason why. Dion smiled at the old man and asked, "How are you doing uncle?" "Hmm, doing good now that my son is back. Oh, I asked him also to come tonight so both of you can discuss the situation. Chad is familiar with the three clans and the military as well. You see he had also stayed in country D for a long time disguised as a bodyguard of the Field Marshal Chan''s daughter. His name there was John." Dion noted because he knew Keira Chan as Xander''s cousin. "Chad will help you to seek the truth and he can also make internal arrangements I believe." Uncle Lucas said. The dinner arrived a minute after the door opened and a man that seemed to be just a little younger in age to him by a few years entered. "Oh Chad is here," uncle Lucas uttered and he introduced Dion and Chad to each other. After dinner, they had some tea and a little more chatting. "Dion I can definitely help you meet with one of the trusted members of the Yue clan but then not right now¡­ We can do it after the peace talks have been finalized." Chad explained and he too briefed Dion about the certain rules of the triad he should take note. Same as what Vin told him, it would not be that easy because each clan had classified information about their clans hierarchy. Uncle Lucas and Chad were from the Quan Clan and did not have a whole access to the data regarding the Yue Clan because it was considered an offense and violation thus punishable by Mirage''s law. Dion wanted to choke whoever established that Mirage triad and their freaking laws. There were so many things to consider. He couldn''t even believe that such a triad existed and was for real. "Dion you have to keep this thing up to you only and if urgently needed then pass it on to extremely trusted people of your''s because if not then the Mirage will be compromised." Dion''s grandfather reminded him as they arrived home. Dion nodded and said, "I understand grandpa." Inside, his room Dion called to check on Rui about patient X. They needed that murderer to be healthy soon so they would know who was really behind his sister''s shooting so that they could confirm if it was really someone from the Yue clan who was responsible for jeopardizing both Yera and Xander''s lives. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She stretched her arms and lazily rose up from the bed. Xander was already awake and was on with his routine because he had an appointment with the therapist early in the morning. "How come he did not wake me up?" She whispered as she grabbed a towel to have a quick shower. Inside the bathroom, Yera took time also because her mind was occupied with various thoughts. She was brushing her teeth when she took a long pause staring at the mirror in front of her. "All my speculations could only be true if the twins in the pic are the same twins¡­ But, what if they were different? Yet it doesn''t make sense at all¡­ I believe they faked their death at country V and fled here! Or could they really have died like me¡­ But somehow stayed alive and stayed in this country for good? But why would that freaking Yue clan be after Xander''s life and what had that got to do with killing me?" She then realized that her mouth was already bubbling with toothpaste. "Ohhh spicy!" she exclaimed before she gargled a lot of water. Her head would soon burst trying to figure things out. She did manage to have a private call with Rui and Dion last night, thanking the two for all their help and of course for reiterating that the two should at least let her be updated about the situation because she was strong enough, physically, mentally and emotionally to handle it all. Well, after she surpassed even death itself nothing could scare her anymore, obviously... except losing her husband. So she wanted to join the two men in figuring things out and end this matter once and for all. After getting dressed, Yera looked at the clock and pursed her lips because it was almost lunch time. She went out and paused in the hallway where there was a portrait of Senior Yang with his wife with baby Xander, hanging on the wall. She sighed¡­ Xander''s mother really looked like one of the twins in the photo she got from Dion last night, although the photo was of the younger version but it could not hide the fact of great similarities in the facial features despite the difference of hairstyle and color. "Hmm, should I guess why you are staring at the portrait and keep on sighing?" Yera heard her father-in-law''s voice from behind. Rui already told her that her father-in-law was already aware of the situation. Everyone except for Xander, of course because her husband needed to focus on recuperating and must not think of anything else at this moment. "They really look very much alike, father." Yera whispered. Senior Yang stepped beside Yera and also stared at the portrait of his late wife. "Yes, it seems so. If only I knew about my wife''s past then I think we won''t be as confused about the whole thing as we are right now." Senior Yang sadly muttered. He did ask his wife once but Kanya did not want to remember or even discuss her past with him, saying she could not remember anything about it and begged him to let her past be bygone and what was important was their present and future together. Kanya said that there was nothing special or worth knowing at all about her past, and it would be better if all that stayed buried in the past only. "She maybe belongs to that Yue Clan and had turned her back on them. That''s the only and best explanation for Xander''s current situation.But father why do they still bother with Xander? I mean Xander has a seperate life now and he doesn''t know about their existence and he did not ever want to bother with their clan so why?" Yera frustratingly exclaimed. "There must be something more to it all, something that we are not able to get a grasp of¡­" Yera added in despair. She felt her father-in-law''s hand on her shoulder and the two of them let out a long deep sigh of helplessness. "Father, have you seen Xander?" Yera asked after a moment of silence. Senior Yang chuckled and said, "Well, your husband is busy cooking in the kitchen preparing something especially for you. He said you will have brunch today as you will wake up late, so he will bring it upstairs for you on the bed itself, but I guess you woke up a bit earlier than he thought." Yera giggled and took her leave from her father-in-law to quickly run into the kitchen. She saw Xander busily arranging all the food that he had cooked on a tray, and it looked like he was already done. She quietly slid her arms on his waist from behind and whispered, "I heard you are preparing brunch for me. How about you join me in my brunch." Xander turned around to face her while he caressed her cheeks then held her chin. "Yeah, you were sleeping so soundly that I felt bad waking you up¡­ Come and eat." Xander said and broke from Yera''s hug to arrange her food on the dining table instead. Yera sat down and pulled another chair beside her out then signaled her husband to sit there. The corners of Yera''s mouth quirked up seeing the heart shaped sunny side up egg on the plate. "So romantic," she voiced out. Then she added, "I don''t wanna eat this masterpiece. I just can''t" Xander laughed seeing the amazed expression on his wife''s face. He had made a stir-fried rice bowl with the heart shaped fried egg as topping. "I cooked it for you to eat and not just stare darling." Xander muttered as he grabbed the spoon and fork. "Noooo¡­" Yera mumbled seeing her husband crush the egg and scoop a spoonful for her. "Yesssss¡­ Here eat¡­" Xander responded with a grin in the same tone and fed her. Yera opened her mouth and ate. "Why are you feeding me? Give me the spoon," Yera complained as she tried to grab the spoon and fork from her husband. "Ah-ah¡­ No¡­ I will feed you this time so you can see how I am becoming stronger with each passing day. Besides, I just miss feeding my wife like this and pampering her." Xander insisted and spoon-fed another bite to her. Yera stared at him with her love filled eyes and whispered, "I would do anything for you." She knew she would, just to make sure that her husband would stay safe. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"How are the patient''s vital signs?" Dr. Black asked his assistants. They had done another surgery on patient X and this time they had applied advanced technology with the use of Artificial Intelligence and tested a novel device developed in their own lab to trigger more positive responses in the patient''s brain. "His vital signs are normal doc." one of his doctors answered. Dr. Black nodded as he checked the monitor. Their facilities could be considered among the most modern facilities in the world, that was applying modern technology and had been developing advanced biotechnological remedies for many dreaded diseases that were still a mystery to the medical world. Country U was the only country that Yang Globals had their presence and that allowed such laboratories to experiment, because in some countries such extreme research was considered illegal. If they succeeded in this test to successfully revive the patient X, then it would indeed be a great innovation in medical history. Dr. Black was indebted to CEO Xander Yang for trusting him and supporting his endeavor by providing everything they needed in their facilities. Patient X was recovering very well and if they are all lucky he should soon wake up with all his memories intact. However, they would still need proper observation because they were yet to notice if there would be any side effect of all the devices used in the patient. He picked up his mobile phone to call Dr. Rui Dee and informed him about the progress of patient X as instructed. ... At Country D... Rui was having tea when he received the call from Dr. Black. "That''s good. Inform me as soon as he gains consciousness." He soon ended the call to relay the same to Yera. After the call ended, Rui stood up from his chair and walked out to check on assistant Ron who had started reporting back at work. "Why do you always look so busy? Have some time for a coffee with me?" Rui asked and assistant Ron immediately stood up from his chair to follow Rui. "Are you sure you''re already healthy to report in the office like this? I mean you can stay at home and work from there also. All the files are accessible everywhere anyway, wherever you are." Rui suggested as he felt bad seeing Ron pushing himself so hard. "How is the Boss?" Ron asked. Rui''s eyebrows arched as he scoffed, "Why asking me? You should go and see him for yourself Ron." Ron held his head down. He was monitoring his Boss''s condition and he was grateful to hear he was doing great. He hadn''t visited him yet since the accident happened because he was feeling guilty. Rui twisted his mouth and murmured, "Are you going to kill yourself by working nonstop because of what happened that day? Xander is already asking why you''re not showing up yet. He wants me to tell you not to get scared and visit him as soon as you''re able to." Ron drank his coffee and nodded. "I will visit Boss soon. Just that I feel really bad and guilty to see him at this moment¡­" Ron heard Rui exhale loudly before he said, "I wonder if I will act the same way as you are if Xander does the same thing for me. Well, I do understand your sentiments Ron but I hope you stop feeling guilty or anything because no one forced Xander to save you that day. It was his own conscious decision. Visit him soon Ron or else he will be the one to visit you very soon. Do you want that?" Ron''s eyes widened in terror. "No!'' He gasped. Ron was feeling very down after the conversation so he decided to pick up Shan from work. "What happened?" Shan asked, seeing his distressed face. "Do you mind having a drink with me?" Shan heard Ron asked. "It''s okay¡­" Shan simply answered. She would in fact prefer her boyfriend to have a drink with her rather than getting drunk into a bar because looking at Ron, she could sense that the latter wanted to get drunk. Shan suggested that Ron and her sit and drink in his home, so they went directly to Ron''s house. She could sense that something was troubling Ron. The two decided to grill some meat inside the house while both drank some beers in Ron''s living area where they sat on the floor. Hours passed and the two of them already opened a lot of cans of beer gulping down one after the other. And Shan could feel the alcohol content rising in her body already. It was not her first time to get drunk but her alcohol tolerance was low. "Hmm, why did you want to drink so much today? Is there any problem?" Shan asked directly. Her cheeks were turning red already. Ron sighed and chuckled then sniffed, "That''s the irony of drinking right? Why do people in trouble often look for alcohol?" "Hmm, because you feel great when you''re drunk? Or maybe it''s because you''re getting loose when drunk. Hmm for me that''s the case¡­ Me getting crazy when drunk then falling in deep sleep is the reason i like to get drunk. Because at that moment I have that freedom to not to bother with my troubles." Shan tried to express herself. Shan heard Ron chuckled so she wrinkled her face and asked, "What? Is that funny?" Ron shook his head and said, "I don''t know if I should call it a problem. To be honest, I''m just struggling to see the boss because I keep feeling bad to put him in this state while saving me¡­ I haven''t even visited him once since that incident." "What!" Shan burst out. "How come you didn''t go to see him yet? Geez, can''t you at least show some gratitude towards him by personally visiting him and thanking him for saving your a*ss!" Shan scolded Ron with her drunken voice. "How ungrateful!!!" She added with narrowed eyes and even made the creaking sound, "tsk.. tsk¡­ That shouldn''t trouble you. Visit him tomorrow morning and thank him personally, that''s what you should do and not feel bad! Be grateful and you should feel lucky for having a boss like him who is willing to save you even at the cost of his own life, you don''t get a boss like that easily!" Ron grinned seeing how Shan overreacted but his girlfriend did have a point. "You''re drunk¡­ We should stop¡­" Ron whispered while he grabbed the can Shan was about to drink but Shan struggled for it and Ron lost his balance and ended up with his back on the floor while Shan landed on top of him. Shan was giggling on top of him as she said, "Sorry¡­" Shan was about to move and stand up but Ron slid his hand on her nape and pulled her head closer to his face to give her a mind blowing kiss. "You''re in deep trouble for agreeing to drink with me like this," Shan heard Ron whisper in between his passionate kiss. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Shan giggled hearing those words from her boyfriend. "Stop talking¡­" she scolded before deepening the kiss, she was kissing him like there was no tomorrow making Ron lose the tiny bit of control he had. Ron rolled on the floor pinning Shan beneath him while Shan voluntarily wrapped her arms on his neck. The couple did not mind the taste of alcohol because they were drowning in the fire ignited by their lips entangled together. Ron knew his body could no longer suppress his longing. He did not remember how many times he had dreamed of a time like this, getting intimate with Shan, holding her for real and not only in his wild imaginations. He had liked the woman for a long time already. He was not sure if it was love at first site but he never stopped checking on her every once in a while even after all those years and even though their bosses were enemies then. He almost kissed his boss that time when he had ordered him to work closely with Shan for the merger that he thought of a lot of things to prolong those private meetings with her. He was not good with words, with a flowery vocabulary, one like his boss so it took him so much courage to ask her to be his girlfriend when an opportunity opened. "I want you Shan¡­" he kept on murmuring as his kiss travelled on Shans jaw and neck. He was like a hungry beast that was tasting her right at that moment, every movement was wild. Shan was m.o.a.ning and even ripped his shirt with a sudden pull scrambling the buttons all over on the floor. She would answer Shawn''s words with "Uhuh," followed by sweet m.o.a.ns that gave Ron a signal he very much wanted at that time. He then stood up and bent down a little to sweep her from the floor and carried her inside his room. They were still kissing as they walked inside the room, kissing like they couldn''t get enough of each other''s lips. Ron lowered and kissed Shan''s front though she was still wearing her blouse. He was caressing her mounds both left and right, leaving Shan aching for more, she unbuttoned her blouse on her own. She knew what was going to happen. She was fully aware of it and was in her right mind but the alcohol in her body helped her to become as vulgar as she was at that moment. Had she not been drunk,she wouldn''t be this confident to let herself go and be carried away with what she was feeling and desiring to do because her timidness and shyness would definitely overpower her in her sober state. She felt Ron stop and she stared at him for a second before muttering, "Don''t stop¡­" She heard Ron chuckled and whispered, "No I will definitely not stop but I have to remove unnecessary things that are hindrances at this point." Shan bit her lip seeing Ron strip before her eyes. He had a lean body like what she had expected. Then her gaze went down and her eyes stared at his manhood that was proudly greeting her. Shan rose her body to remove her blouse but Ron stopped her and pushed her down and slowly moved to remove her clothes while kissing her bare skin right after he removed each piece of her clothing. Shan cursed inside because she felt as if she was being hypnotized and seduced by Ron''s teasing movements where he kissed and licked her skin. She could feel all the hairs on her whole body rising up because of the sweet sensations he gave her. She felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach everytime his mouth touched her bare skin and kissed her. "Oh¡­ Please¡­" she pleaded with a trembling body when Ron''s mouth reached her hard peaks and took one of them inside gently sucking it. She had never felt these things before and she didn''t want him to stop now. Ron felt himself growing harder and while sucking her peaks, he took his one hand down and slid one finger in her most sensitive lower parts. He kept sucking her both peaks while his fingers were teasing and playing with her most private parts between her thighs. Shan had had boyfriends before but she never let them touch her like this. The most intimate they could get with her was to kiss her but not kiss her whole body like what Ron was doing at that moment. He was taking too much time in showering her entire body with kisses. She could not remember how many times she had mentioned Ron''s name and begged him for more, her body was abruptly tosing left and right when he took his time in between her thighs. She did not know what happened but her body convulsed that instant and she pulled him up to a deep and passionate kiss. Ron stopped for a while to look into her eyes before he whispered, "I love you, Shan. Let''s get married¡­" Ron finally had the courage to say it. Yes he already loved Shan and she was the person he could picture sharing his life with. He had been waiting all these years and he would not waste anymore time to let her slip from his palm. Shan was going to be his. Shan did not notice her tears falling from her eyes while she nodded and whispered, "Yes let''s get married¡­" Shan felt Ron''s lips kissed the tears in the corner of her eyes and gently went down on her lips. She could also feel him moving on her¡­ So Shan unconsciously spread her legs to accept him. She was ready to give him everything at that moment, her life, herself... ... In A Private Residence at the Capital City of Country D "He''s quite brave¡­" Tyron mumbled after receiving an unexpected call from Gavin Wu, asking Yue Group for an exclusive interview. He probably got his calling card during the Yang Globals event for the reopening of their hospital. Well, he intentionally left his card as he thought no one would dare bother him since Yue Group was thought to be an organized crime group. Well of course it was yet a mystery and not proven real but was just a myth for most of the people. Yue Group who some speculated to be a crime group, a powerful group that was owned and founded by Yue Clan, was a multinational conglomerate. Their most important source of income being a multinational manufacturing company that focussed on electronics products, the world''s largest manufacturer of consumer electronics and semiconductors. Tyron bet that the Yangs were now well aware of the Yue Clan. Tyron let out a long deep sigh. It was Raine who wanted to expose the Yue Clan to Xander''s group. He couldn''t understand Raine at all and neither what her plans were. It was too easy to kill Xander Yang for someone like Raine but he wondered why she was prolonging it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

But then she realised that it was not the headache but the aching and soreness of her body that suddenly turned her face into a red cherry. She did not dare to move nor open her eyes as everything that happened last night replayed in her memories. She felt too shy to even breath at that moment but she had this urge to pee. ''Damn!'' she silently cursed. She did not want to wake up first because she did not know how to react because of embarrassment. She was like a wild pet that suddenly got out of the cage last night. She wished Ron would wake up first and get up from the bed. She tightly closed her eyes when she felt Ron moved. Their n.a.k.e.d bodies were intertwined with each other. Minutes passed but there were no more movements from him. Shan slowly opened her eyes to check if Ron went back to sleep. But to her terror Ron was staring at her face that was too close to hers with a sweet smile curved on his lips. "Morning¡­" he greeted with lethargic eyes before he gave her a gentle morning kiss on her lips. "Do you have time today?" Ron asked and Shan nodded. "Hmm then let''s meet your family and I will introduce you to mine. We have to inform them of our marriage. Is it okay if we register our marriage today first before the actual ceremony a little later? You know how families can be meticulous sometimes with ceremonies." Ron opened up first thing in the morning. Shan only nodded and could not actually process everything well yet because of her pee bag that was soon going to burst, not to include her brainstorming hangover. "Are we in a hurry?" she suddenly voiced out with an awkward smile, confused why Ron wanted to register the marriage today. Ron only nodded and said, "I want you to stay in here as early as possible. Besides, you should take responsibility for me because you took advantage of me last night. Yesterday was my first¡­ So take responsibility." Ron looked so serious that Shan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Instead of answering him, she jumped out of bed and immediately went to the restroom without a word. Ron was left flabbergasted, wondering if he became too fast¡­ He even hit his head thinking that he might have offended Shan by proposing without even a ring. Everything happened so fast and he just did not want to delay more. He wanted Shan to stay with him and it would not be a good idea if he would not marry her first. He wanted Shan to feel that she was secure with him and realise that he was sincere with her. ....... At Yang Ancestral Mansion Xander was visited by his cousin Keira while he was having therapy. Keira and Yera chatted while they waited for Xander to finish his therapy. Keira heard of what happened and she felt sad that the couple lost their child but was grateful at the same time that her dear cousin was saved from the brink of death. She was able to visit her cousin only now because she was out of the country when the incident happened. "Rui asked me to have my husband conduct a private investigation of the collapsing of Dami bridge. The initial investigation said that because the bridge was too old already and there were some errors in the construction causing it to collapse and my husband and Rui were both convinced that it was not the case." Keira informed Yera. Her husband was a General and was also confidentially investigating the matter of Mirage Triad because of their involvement with various terrorist attacks. The two women talked more about it while Xander was still having his therapy. The two women were in the living room when Senior Yang approached and greeted his niece. "You are back in shape!" Senior Yang burst out, teasing his niece intentionally. Keira''s face twitched and mumbled, "Of course¡­ I must stay fit and s.e.xy like I always did uncle." Yera laughed while she watched Keira and her father-in-law bantering. She couldn''t imagine if Xander would join them - the living room would definitely roar with loud laughs. "I could hear your loud voices from afar guys!" Xander commented as he approached them with a smile. Keira immediately stood up and hugged him and stared at him from head to toe before focussing on his head. "Wow! My dear cousin, you look different. Hmm¡­ How should I put it¡­" Keira commented and stared more at Xander, thinking of the right words to describe him with his bald head. Xander gave his cousin his roguish grin and proudly said, "What? I look more powerful right? More masculine? More dominant? More taller? More stronger?" Keira kept shaking her head and made a face because her cousin hit the right words she wanted to say but of course she had to tease him, so she mumbled, "Nah¡­ I would say more OLDER!!!" Yera laughed seeing the soured face of her husband who pinched his cousin''s cheeks. "Ouch! You''re not allowed to do that again. I''m no longer a kid cuz! I''m already a mother okay! So stop doing that with my delicate cheeks. Geez!" Keira complained and massaged her cheeks. "Then behave like one¡­ How come you''re alone here?" Xander commented, "Don''t worry mom and dad will visit you soon. Well with me again of course¡­ I just directly came here from the airport, I was at my out of the country trip with Zach. He needed to report at the headquarters for an important meeting so he dropped me here only but later he will come to pick me up." Keira explained and grabbed some snacks served by the helpers. Xander nodded and then continued with having a fun talk. Yera adoringly looked at Keira, like her, Keira had also experienced a lot of hardsh.i.p.s. All of them had different trials in life. Keira and her husband managed to surpass everything together¡­''I hope we also manage to get through all the hardsh.i.p.s¡­ together¡­'' Yera could not help but mused. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Since, there was no way to meet with any of the members of the Yue Clan at that point, plus it would not even be safe to do so, hence he decided to go back and surprise Rizie. Chad said they could try doing business with Yue Group but then the company had its protocol of not entertaining any incoming offers. It was always the Yue Group that would contact the distributors and same went with the two other clans when it came to managing their businesses. His trip back home gave them at least a clue and an idea where they could start on. He sighed and asked the flight attendant for a glass of wine. He was too tired and deprived of sleep after reading the complicated history of Mirage. The group was indeed powerful to be able to stay quiet and hidden up to this time. Well some were aware they existed but not all could confirm that fact. The Yue clan was into electronics. No wonder they were good at deleting evidence and had best of the hackers, because almost all technologies worldwide were their products. Dion heaved another heavy and distressed sigh. If it was really the Yue Clan that was behind everything, Xander and his sister were definitely in deep trouble right now. Their only hope for now was embracing the Quan Clan who was willing to help them. He took advantage of a nap during the flight with a smile on his face, imagining his girlfriend''s expression once he showed himself on her doorstep as a surprise. It was a good thing that it was the weekend so Rizie would be staying on her condo unit only the entire day. Rizie was grinning hard as she continued to stare at her hand raised up in the sun rays beaming inside her room. Her ring that she wore in her finger was glistening. "Geez, I should get up now¡­" she grumbled before jumping out from her bed and then did some stretching. She ate breakfast first then went for her morning shower. She was picking an outfit from her closet after coming out from showering when she heard some noise. She paused and creased her forehead. She walked out of her room to take a look and saw nothing there. She walked to the living area and kitchen to check because she heard something dropped on the floor. "Huh?" she drawled seeing a broken glass on the floor. Her heart pounded hard as she became nervous. Why would there be a broken glass when she clearly left the kitchen area clean. Rizie''s eyes widened. Her movement was quick as she grabbed the biggest pan she had in the kitchen. She cursed because her mobile phone was inside the room and not with her at that moment. She looked at the door that was not far. She was not brave to find the intruder if there was any of course. Her instinct was to run safely towards the door and ask for help. She was running towards the door when she felt strong arms catch her waist. Rizie was about to scream but stopped when she heard Dion''s voice. "It''s me!" Rizie abruptly turned around and hit Dion on his chest. "Are you trying to kill me or get yourself killed with my pan?!" she scolded, she was too red with anger. Dion kissed her on the lips, a peck before saying, "Sorry, I thought to surprise you but was a bit thirsty and accidentally dropped the glass. then I thought to prank you¡­" Rizie''s lips drew back in a snarl and added, "And why not tell me you''ll arrive today? Weren''t you supposed to stay there for more days?" She was about to throw a surprise for him on his arrival, then her eyes enlarged when she realized something. It was too late because Dion had already noticed that she was not wearing her necklace with his eyes focused on her bare neck. She gasped when she felt his fingers touch her neck for confirmation. The ring was already in her finger that she excitedly put on as soon as she finished showering. Dion''s lips trembled before a plastered smile posted on his handsome face. "Where is the ring?" he asked. Rizie''s face crumpled because her surprise that she was yet to prepare was blown out like that. She felt Dion gently hold her hand with his and lifted it up to have a look. "It looks great on you, just as I imagined¡­" she heard Dion whisper. Rizie looked at him and she could see his eyes were reddening as tears fell on his cheeks. Rizie''s eyes reddened too as she pouted her lips and complained, "I was about to surprise you¡­ How dare you sabotage it and not inform me about your real arrival. You just spoiled it¡­" Dion chuckled and cupped Rizie''s face while he gently removed the tears falling on her cheeks. "Silly, I don''t need any more surprise. Just seeing you wear the ring makes me so happy." Rizie sniffed and was about to complain more but was silenced by Dion as he ravishingly captured her lips before saying anymore words. He was on cloud nine at that moment. He did not expect Rizie to accept him that soon. He had already readied himself to wait a lot longer, no matter no matter how long it would take. He could smell her sweet shampoo scent. Her hair was still wet and the thought of Rizie wearing nothing at all inside her robe was driving him crazy. He was dead tired but he felt the adrenaline rush in his blood waking up the desires he had kept in for so long. Nothing happened that night when they stayed in the tent. He controlled himself upto the last minute. Trying his best to seduce Rizie the best way he could. Dion was panting hard as he tried to release Rizie from the kiss. "We should stop now or else I won''t be able to control any further Riz," he mumbled, stammering in his hoarse voice. "Who told you to control?" Rizie whispered while she wrapped her arms on Dion''s neck and sealed his lips tightly with her longing lips for him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He had gotten the go signal and he wanted to accept that signal or else he would soon go crazy for having such wild imaginations on his own. He grabbed Rizie''s waist, pulling her closer to him as he savored her sweet scent and taste. He felt Rizie move, pushing him to walk backwards while she clung onto him, nibbling his lower lip then sucked it hard. Next thing he knew was Rizie was able to push him towards her room without leaving his lips alone. Rizie pushed him on the bed and crawled on top of him that made his breathing stop for a second. She looked so gorgeous with her hair messed up and wet. Dion uttered a silent sound of impatience as he gently rolled on top of Rizie. His breath was ragged as he planted sweet gentle kisses on every part of Rizie''s face then trailed down on her jawline and her neck. The tie on Rizie''s bathrobe was already so loose that his hand easily gained access to her b.r.e.a.s.t, sizing it with his palm. He heard Rizie gasp when his hand was followed by his mouth. He took his time attending to Rizie''s chest but he suddenly paused and crawled back up to bury his face on Rizie''s neck to calm his breathing and body. Rizie patted his back and said, "What''s wrong?" She was confused. "Nothing just that I don''t want to lose control. Let''s wait until we get married." She heard Dion whisper. Rizie groaned internally. ''What is this?'' she mused in disbelief. She would not let it slide like that where she was the only one getting embarrassed recalling what Dion did that night. She let out a long sigh after a moment of silence before she bravely pushed Dion and positioned herself on top of him. Dion was caught off guard and muttered, "What are you doing?" Rizie, with a smirk, simply countered, "Equality¡­" "Huh?" Dion breathed and he was shocked when Rizie stripped him off his clothes. He felt his body go numb as he felt Rizie''s kiss from the head down. She seemed to be copying what he did to her that night inside the tent. He was really going crazy that all he could do was growl in pleasure every time he would feel Rizie''s lips and tongue lick him then she would playfully nibble on his skin. Rizie on the other hand was taking all the time she wanted, slowly caressing Dion''s every part like how he did to her. She wanted her boyfriend to remember every detail and get tormented like how she was getting tormented since that night. She was encouraged to do more as she kissed further south, hearing Dion cry in pleasure. He was controlling his voice but Rizie could feel his tense body when she got a hold of his most sensitive part. She tugged and rubbed while she kissed his belly then she crawled downwards. He was enjoying it, seeing his expression and dilated pupils. It was Rizie''s first time to do such a thing but she did not mind it because she was doing it for the man she loved. She wanted to give him pleasure with this kind of thing since she was quite sure Dion would not take her until after their marriage vows and the last thing she could do was help him not to get the so called ''blue balls''. ...¡­.. After some time, Dion was resting in Rizie''s arms when the latter asked him about his trip. Dion let out a long deep sigh and replied, "Nothing is concrete yet but all are mere speculations. It would be good if we at least knew the details of the Jiang twins, except for the fact that they were orphans. It was a long time ago and the orphanage no longer holds their files because of a fire that broke out there years ago¡­" Dion strongly believed that the fire in the orphanage years ago was also not an accident. All traces of the twins that could lead to their identification had obviously been wiped out intentionally over time. This was also one of the reasons why they strongly believed that the twins of the Yue Clan from country V were the same people as the Jiang twins in country D. "I don''t get that group. I mean if someone wants to leave them and go out, without harming them at all, why not let them be?" Rizie contorted, furious for the fact that Xander and Bernard no longer had anything to do with them even if they really had the blood of the Yue clan. "Riz, don''t you watch gangster movies. It''s like the same in reality I guess. They kill regardless if it''s their own blood because they swear a blood oath. Chad gave me the copy of the Mirage Law. You are considered a traitor if you back out from your clan. A traitor is punishable by death up to the last kin remaining of the person who broke the law. Though Chad is actually in the process of revising those laws¡­ But Chad said that it also depends on the Clan''s sole discretion." "The twins'' father was the King at that time and when the twins died he was replaced by his brother - Chad told me that the Yue Clan has complicated family issues, like killing each other to get the position as King." Dion briefed. Chad emphasized that the Yue Clan was not united during that time and members of the family had huge disagreements on various things. So probably not everyone in the whole Yue Clan was responsible for planning attacks to kill Xander. There should only be a particular person who wanted to wipe out the last bloodline from the twins. But who among the Yue Clan was the enemy and who was not was the real question that they needed an answer to. "Chad?" Rizie mumbled, hearing the new name. Dion nodded and murmured, "You probably met him. He was one of Keira''s bodyguards before. He goes by the name John in this country¡­" He explained to Rizie about Chad''s situation and why he needed to hide as one of Field Marshal Chan''s men, particularly as Keira''s bodyguard. "Ohhh! Yeah I know him of course. He is one hot and sizzling bodyguard! So he has an interesting story. I knew that he''s got more to it than being a bodyguard because that look is too damn hot" Rizie complimented. "Hot and sizzling? Too damn hot?" Dion snorted. He tilted his head to look at his fiance in disbelief. ''Seriously? Are you complimenting another man like that to my face?'' Dion silently voiced in his head. He couldn''t believe the look on Rizie''s face as if she recalled one of her ultimate crushes. "What?! He is really hot and sizzling¡­ Too damn hot..." Rizie repeated with a grin, giving a heavy dictation on her description because it was true. She even liked John''s posture. Rizie chuckled seeing the sulky mood of her boyfriend. "Hmm, shall I make you scream once more? Cry like before?" She teased and laughed seeing Dion''s red face. Now both of them called it quits. Dion could no longer tease her because of the tent incident because she could throw the same to her clever boyfriend. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He finally was able to personally thank his Boss for all that he had done for him. The living room was filled with his uncontrollable cries especially when his boss, Xander, hugged him and even patted his back saying that no matter what situation they were in, he would do the same thing over again so he did not need to feel guilty and burdened. "What''s with you? Stop crying now¡­ We''ve been together for so many years and aren''t you aware of how awesome your boss is? You''re so lucky to have a boss like me. Well, mind you, all this is still not for free and take it as a debt and I will demand payment for it. You should know that right?" Xander jested and Ron nodded while he wiped his tears and sat back beside Shan. "Wait did you two arrive together? Such a coincidence." Xander suddenly commented as he looked at Shan who was sitting beside Ron. Ron reddened and bashfully looked at Xander and Yera. Then after a while, he told the couple his current relationship with Shan and their plan to register their marriage after their visit to Xander and Yera. Xander and Yera were both shocked with Ron''s statement and it took them a while to react. Xander looked at Shan who was blushing, then at Ron who was half smiling. Then he was the first to speak. "What? Do you mean you are going to register your marriage after coming here?" Xander burst still in shock. He wasn''t even aware that Ron and Shan were in a romantic relationship. Since when? And now they would embark into a whirlwind marriage. "Have you two thought about it carefully? I mean marriage is not something as easy as that¡­" Xander scolded and Ron almost choked on his own saliva. ''Wasn''t it easy with you and Madame Yera Boss?'' He silently chortled recalling how he even witnessed the whirlwind marriage of his Boss. Yera chuckled and jokingly said, "Hey Xander, stop that. They both are old enough and can decide on their own, do they need to hear your exaggeration like that? Didn''t you also have a whirlwind marriage? I think Ron is just walking on the same path as you. That''s how much he likes you." Ron smiled at Yera for helping him out. After a few more minutes of chatting. Ron and Shan bid their farewell to the couple and proceeded to the civil affairs office for registering their marriage. Xander was still in awe as he looked at Ron and Shan who had left out of the door. "Wow, my assistant is quite capable and fast darling¡­" He commented with a grin while he shook his head. Yera laughed and teased, "Well he just took after his boss, don''t you think so darling?" The couple were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Senior Yang who asked them to follow him to the living room. "Dad¡­ Seriously?" Xander sniveled seeing his dad had a lot of puzzles to assemble on the table. "What? This is fun¡­ Come here and you two sit down. Whoever completes the most puzzles when the time stops will be the winner. Butler Gary will be our timer." Senior Yang instructed the couple to sit with him. "Do we get a reward for winning this dad?" Xander muttered with a grin. "Whoever finishes last will have to entertain all others in the house once a week by doing something fun like singing, dancing or acting¡­Or whatever form of entertainment the winner asks him/her to do¡­ Alright?" Senior Yang explained. "I''m in¡­" Yera immediately jumped and responded, feeling giddy at the thought of her husband losing while she would win. Xander looked at his wife grinning like a cheshire cat, raised an eyebrow and said, "You look so excited darling. I can see it all over your face as if you are saying - I will win this and I will make my dear loving husband entertain me tremendously - Your facial expressions are clearly shouting these words.." Yera laughed and muttered, "Wow your intelligent son can read minds father¡­" Senior Yang smiled and shook his head and signaled butler Gary to start the timer. "In 3, 2, 1, Go¡­" Yera was even humming as she started. Xander would sneak a peek and keep checking the other two more than concentrating on his own puzzles. After thirty minutes, Xander was the one who had the least number of completed puzzles while Yera had the highest number of completed ones. "Hmm, shall you entertain us now darling?" Yera teased. Xander gulped hearing Yera voice out her thoughts while she told him her options for him to choose from, for entertaining her and senior Yang. "Hmm, imitating animal sounds and actions would be funny too¡­ ah, this is so much fun¡­" Yera giggled as she started picturing her husband doing funny things. "Dad, next time prepare something for a.d.u.l.ts to play." Xander commented with pouty lips. Senior Yang laughed and said, "Alright, let''s try rock paper scissors next time¡­" followed by a loud laugh. Xander''s face twisted. Yera chose that Xander would imitate the animal''s sounds that she would be mentioning to him, including the actions that would represent each animal. "Dad, next time if I win can I punish the loser myself if it''s my wife? I would like it to be a private punishment?" Xander commented with an evil grin then he whispered to Yera, "I will punish you to do strip dancing darling¡­ With animal sounds along with too¡­" Yera''s face soured. Senior Yang laughed seeing the couple bantering. His son was rapidly coming back to his original good shape and he was glad to see that. In no time, he would probably hear some good news again about him going to be a grandfather. But his face suddenly darkened at the thought of Xander''s life being in danger once more. He was aware of Dion and Rui''s movements. Last night, Yera had updated him. He too talked to Bernards'' father and he was going to meet him tomorrow once he was back in the country. He was hoping that Senior Cooper at least knew something through Kelly. He too was getting frustrated so he asked Butler Gary to help him check all of Kanya''s belongings which he had already kept safely in another room. Every single thing must be inspected. He was hoping they could at least find something that could help him confirm her identity. If only Kanya did not die that night¡­ That same day, Kanya wanted to tell him something about her past but postponed it when Yera went missing¡­ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"I just love to surprise people," Dion grinned and muttered before drinking a sip from his coffee. "How are you?" he asked Xander who was sitting next to Yera. "I''m doing great. I can go back to my usual routine in around two weeks." Xander bragged with a grin. "That''s good then because I have a nice place in my mind for us to stay at, for our honeymoon." Yera interrupted with a grin. Then added, "I told you right¡­ The two of us need to relax so I talked to Bro Ryu to let us stay on his private island, Plumeria Island." Yera was now considering asking the Kens for help regarding the Mirage. Keira''s husband was already working on a confidential mission because of various terrorist attacks that were also pointing towards the so-called Mirage triad. She was considering asking Old Master Ken but was still hesitating. Old Master Ken had already turned his back pertaining to the underworld but if she asked their family for help, Old Master Ken might mobilize a bunch of his people in the underworld and she did not want that to happen at all, so for now, she would have to wait and see what the military could do and if they could get any information about the triad from some other sources. It was actually frustrating on their part because they had never thought that such a triad even existed with really mighty powerful clans in a triangle. "Wow¡­ That''s actually a good idea." Dion seconded. The private island has a very tight security from the Kens so it would be a peaceful and safe sanctuary for the couple he believed. Plus they would also make sure they had their own security posted for the couple''s safety. After all the things that happened, his sister and brother-in-law deserved a good vacation to enjoy each other''s company without thinking of anything else. Xander did not comment at all and only gave his wife a wink before he jested, "Dion, see how my wife couldn''t wait to be intimate with me. Planning to take me on a private island all for her own¡­ I can''t wait..." Yera gently hit her husband''s shoulder and signaled him to stop. Dion laughed seeing how the couple looked good together while teasing each other and then suddenly commented, "Han mansion feels so empty right now. I think I should follow in your footsteps and get married soon. Staying there alone is a nightmare¡­ So I better get married really soon..." Yera''s eyes widened and murmured, "Ohhh¡­" She looked at Dion who seemed to understand her interrogating eyes and nodded. "Yes sis, I went to Rizie''s condo unit directly as soon as I arrived and she has already accepted my marriage proposal¡­ She was wearing the ring in her finger and has agreed to marry me as soon as possible." Xander''s lips pursed and muttered, "What''s this? Everyone''s getting married now-a-days. Ron and Shan just registered theirs yesterday and now it''s you. I wonder if Rui will also come and announce his marriage next¡­" Yera laughed and said, "Darling, Rui does not have a girlfriend yet¡­" "Well who knows? But, Dion had to succeed as I was Dion''s love mentor, so I''m obviously glad¡­ See the result?¡­ it''s quite fast isn''t it?¡­" Xander boasted. Yera and Dion exchanged meaningful gazes but chose to purse their lips in silence and let Xander talk. "Where''s uncle James?" Dion asked. "Oh he has gone to visit Bernard''s father who has arrived just today¡­" Yera simply answered and Dion nodded in understanding. "I won''t be able to stay long¡­ will come back to meet you guys again¡­" Dion bid his farewell after some more chatting. He had a lot on his plate at the moment, the investigation of the Yue clan, his patients and not to mention the management of Life Hospitals group. He was grateful though because Mr. Lua was still helping him since the man was one of the pioneers of Life Hospitals and knew how all the hospitals under their group were running. He was an exclusive consultant and acted as the officer-in-charge while he was away. When Dion left, Yera checked her husband. "How is your head? Any headache or dizziness? Your wound is already healed from outside but it would take one more month for it to completely heal from inside¡­" "It has started itching already darling¡­ No headache or dizziness at all. Just in a dilemma. I think I''m becoming more perverted every passing day, I have evil thoughts of attacking you every night. I think my temporal lobe got the biggest hit darling¡­" he whispered as he started smooching his wife in the living room. Yera laughed because indeed it was true, and injury to that part of the brain had been linked with an increased s.e.x.u.a.l drive and other emotions or in other words hyperactive s.e.x.u.a.lity though it can also result in hypoactive s.e.x.u.a.lity or reduced s.e.x drive but her husband seemed to be having the symptoms of the first one¡­ "Complex emotional, psychological, and social customs are often involved in making love so you have to wait still. Plus we need to get a go signal from your doctors who are handling your physical and emotional recovery¡­" Yera said while she chuckled because Xander kept on showering her with little kisses on her neck and it was ticklish. "Can''t just you assess me? It''s almost more than weeks after the surgery now¡­" Xander complained. "Hmm, if you ask me you need four more weeks to recover completely. Let''s just wait okay?" Yera intentionally stated, grinning inwardly seeing the crumpled face of her husband. Then she added, "Good old cuddling feels nice darling¡­" Xander''s lips twitched and muttered, "You know that I''m a doctor too and even I can assess my condition on my own darling¡­" Yera laughed seeing the corners of her husband''s eyes crinkling¡­ "One more week¡­" she murmured with a wink before kissing her husband on his lips. Then she whispered in his ear, "I will let you play a little after another one week alright? No physical exertion though, can''t take any kind of risk at all¡­" Xander''s ears flapped hearing those words, because he was already dying to get intimate with her but Yera was way too strict as a surgeon and his wife. His eyes glistened as he stared at his wife''s beautiful face and asked, "You promise?" Yera, still laughing, thought how cute her husband looked at that moment, and nodded. "Promise¡­" Yera murmured. "I love you!" Xander declared and hugged her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Skip this if you''re not comfortable with it... ] Shan was feeling nervous inside the car. Everything happened so fast and she was now Ron''s legally wedded wife. It felt like a dream but it was real for sure and she was on cloud nine, getting married to the man she adored and liked for too long. She was not sure if she was in love with him already, but she knew that Ron was the one she wanted to be with¡­ to grow old with... Ron picked her up from her apartment with a few of her things because starting today they were going to live in the same house, Ron''s house¡­ She bit her lip with that thought because if Ron would hear her say ''his house'' she would definitely get scolded again. She should instead call it ''their home'' and not mention it as Ron''s house like she did the previous day after they registered their wedding. ''Their home where they will start a family.'' she mused and quietly giggled on her own thoughts. She was really happy at that moment but a bit nervous because she was still feeling shy thinking about getting intimate with him. Something came up last day so she and Ron both resumed to work and she slept in her apartment alone to also pack her things up. Ron and she had already done it once, making love for the first time, so how come she was still feeling so nervous? Shan unconsciously breathed some air to calm herself. Maybe it was because she was drunk at that time so she did not feel nervous at all unlike now. They finally arrived at her new home. Ron took all her things inside the house. She did not bring a lot but mostly carried her personal things and wardrobe. Shan followed him in their room and was taken aback when Ron paused and turned around to face her. "What?" she whispered with rounded eyes seeing Ron furrowed his forehead while intently looking on her face. She felt Ron touch her cheek and then forehead. "Are you okay? Your temperature seems to be normal. Then how come you look pale." Ron observed wondering also why Shan was too quiet during their ride. "Shan what''s wrong?" He asked with a worried tone and quickly held Shan''s hands. "Why are your hands so cold?" Shan gave him an awkward smile and mumbled, "Maybe this is what they call jitters? Wedding jitters¡­" Ron moved closer to her and Shan could feel his warm breath on her skin, making her heart pound crazily. "I want you to be comfortable¡­" Ron groaned, followed by a gentle kiss on Shan''s lips that made her knees quivered. "You were not like this the last time¡­" Shan heard Ron whisper in her ear. She gasped when she felt him bite her earlobe. It was only an earlobe but she had been turned into a putty already by him. She needed to cling on to his neck as he started to lick on her earlobe then her neck or else she would slump on the floor because her knees were weakening with his touch. "Hmm¡­ I actually need to make a confession." Shan heard him drawl while he was kissing and playfully nibbling on her neck. Her desire was building up as soft m.o.a.ns escaped her mouth. Ron slowly undressed her and stared at her n.a.k.e.d body for quite some time before she felt being lifted up and carried away in a bridal style on their bed. Shan''s face was red while she watched her husband strip before her and slowly crawled on top of her. "What''s this¡­ Where did my wild wife go?" Ron teased as he kissed her nose. Shan pouted her lips and wrapped her arms on his neck. "I''m only wild when drunk¡­ I think¡­" she stutteringly whispered. Ron looked at her lips and touched it with his fingers. His breathing was ragged as he murmured, "You''re my wife now and I''m your husband¡­" followed by owning her lips. Shan met his kisses with the same passion, letting herself all out while her tongue probed deeper in Ron''s mouth. She m.o.a.ned and her body arched when Ron''s hands began to move and caress her b.r.e.a.s.ts. He was kissing and licking her skin going downwards with each kiss, and she gasped when one of her peaks was nibbled by Ron''s mouth. "You''re wet¡­" she heard Ron whisper while licking her n.i.p.p.l.e and caressing the sleek folds on her apex. Yes, she could also feel her dampness. She whimpered in pleasure as Ron''s fingers entered her opening. Shan felt the room turned upside down as her husband''s fingers thrust in and out while his mouth continued to work wonders in each n.i.p.p.l.e alternately. She grabbed Ron''s hair while her lower body followed the rhythm of Ron''s fingers moving in sync with his movements, pushing in and out of her innermost opening. She m.o.a.ned and cried Ron''s name over and over again as she was almost on her pinnacle until her body convulsed. She was still trembling after her orgasm when she felt Ron crawl further south with his face in between her legs. Shan bit her lip and gasped when she felt Ron''s tongue licking her there. She felt like her husband was eating her up down there¡­ Her head turned upside down as another sensation consumed her body. She couldn''t take it anymore. She wanted Ron inside of her and consumed her wholly like last time. It was a bit painful at first but it soon disappeared last time as the pleasure took control afterwards. Shan pulled Ron and whimpered, "I want you now inside of me¡­" Ron who was dripping already just hearing his wife''s m.o.a.ns and tasting her nectar heeded his wife''s plea and crawled back up. He positioned his rod on her opening and gently thrust it inside. His rod felt so warm inside her as they started to dance in the rhythm of love together. The couple cried each other''s name as their bodies united as one. Dancing in the same tune and speed¡­ Not so long, Shan reached another climax followed by Ron who had his rod deeper in her filling his wife with his seeds. Both were panting and Ron was still on top of her. He stared at Shan and murmured, "my confession¡­" "Huh?" Shan asked, still panting. "I love you Shan¡­ I''ve been dreaming of making you mine since a very long time¡­ I''ve been dreaming of taking you as my wife way before we met again during the merger project¡­ I so wanted to become your husband and I can only thank you for accepting me as one." Shan hugged Ron tightly to hide her tears before she whispered, "I love you too Ron¡­ Let''s build a wonderful family together Ron..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Oh, isn''t it too early? I mean you guys¡­ can still wait for a few more months and get to know each other properly. I mean¡­ Seriously getting married that soon. A month from now?" Sheila burst in shock when Dion told them their intended date to marry. Rizie was grinning. Dion surpassed a month of their relationship without getting dumped and didn''t want to delay their marriage because he still felt a little insecure somewhere, and she felt like she knew Dion enough to share the rest of her life with him, so why not get married as soon as possible. Grandma Terry coughed and cleared her throat before saying, "Your mother is actually getting married too¡­" But she was cut off by Sheila and said, "Mom it''s not about me getting married in the same month. I mean Dion has been here just once and that was the day when Rizie introduced him to us as her boyfriend¡­ how can they be so sure about marriage so soon?" "Wait¡­ Mom? You? Getting married? You and uncle?" Rizie gasped and could not even continue speaking the next words while she covered her mouth with her palm in shock. Sheila suddenly pursed her lips while her face reddened. Rizie then continued with a teasing smirk and said, "Wow¡­ I knew you both are getting along very well, but why did I find it only now? Did you even have plans of telling me about this ever?" "Of course I would¡­" Sheila defended. "Well I have nothing against uncle and I do support you guys. When do you plan to get married? Me and Dion will talk if we can delay our marriage any further¡­" "No¡­" Dion quickly interrupted, hearing the word ''delay'' about their marriage. They could no longer delay it or else he would go crazy by having about Rizie at night. He was not a pervert but the thought of being united with Rizie as a married couple was making him anxious. He felt like time was as precious as gold, after witnessing all that had happened with his sister and brother-in-law. Life was very precious but that could be easily lost in an instant. He witnessed that with his own eyes in the emergency room when Dami Bridge collapsed. A lot of lives were lost¡­ He wanted to enjoy his life like it was his last day and he wanted to spend it with Rizie, every single day. He gulped seeing all eyes were on him in the living room. He gave them an awkward smile and said, "I know this seems quite fast for you but I don''t wanna wait anymore¡­ I mean as a doctor, I have witnessed a lot. How easily a life can be lost in a snap¡­ I want to share my life with Rizie and have a wonderful family like yours. I would not want to waste anymore days waiting to do it. But then I also give importance to how sacred a bond of marriage is and I want to follow the rules. If possible I would like to marry Rizie today or tomorrow¡­" "This boy¡­" Grandma Terry commented. Then they heard Grandpa Shen laugh out hard and said, "Let them be dear. Rizie is old enough to be responsible for their actions. It''s not like we will be the one to be with them in their married life." He looked at Dion and continued, "Dion¡­ I will entrust my granddaughter to you. My only request is that you stay committed to her no matter what happens. Marriage is a different thing¡­ It''s not always a happy road because it''s a journey of a lifetime together. Hence, during that journey a lot would come along the way¡­" "But Shennn¡­" Grandma Terry interrupted but Grandpa Shen blinked his eyes on her and nodded, signaling her to let him handle everything. Grandma Terry heaved a long sigh and stayed quiet while Grandpa Shen continued to talk to Dion. Sheila, who was sitting beside her daughter, asked Rizie to accompany her in the kitchen to bring snacks and some tea to the living room while Grandpa Shen and Grandma Terry were talking to Dion. Sheila grabbed Rizzie''s hand and guided her to sit on a chair in the kitchen. "Dear, are you really sure about this? You know you''re still young and you tend to change your mind a lot over time." Rizie gave her mother a warm smile because all that she said was true, however, things changed ever since she got involved in sis Yera''s case and ever since Dion came into her life. "Mom, Me and sis-in-law Keira are almost of the same age¡­ She has twins now you know, so what young are you saying? You don''t know it''s not about the age. Please don''t worry much about me because I know what I''m doing now. Being with Dion has helped me overcome my shortcomings and my fears that made me get bored of things and leave them in the middle¡­" "But still¡­" Sheila keened, still hesitant with the sudden marriage of her youngest daughter. Rizie gently squeezed the hands of her mom and winked. "Mom¡­ Do you want me to sulk now? How come you could trust big sis Lyra but you''re hesitating like that when it came to me?" Sheila finally gave it a rest after a deep sigh. "Alright but you have to promise me that no matter what you go through, even if things seem embarrassing to speak about, you have to tell mom about it¡­ We are always here and we will always be here for you Riz¡­" "Of course mom. Where would I run but to my wonderful family that always gives me unconditional love¡­" Rizie stated and hugged her mom tightly. Then she gently pushed her mom before narrowing her eyes on her and muttered, "Mom¡­ You should tell me more about your intended marriage. How and since when did you two decide to get married? I knew something was fishy with my uncle visiting here often when I was still here. I''m happy you were able to open your heart once more after everything. You two honestly deserve to be happy mom. So where do you plan to go on your honeymoon?" Sheila turned deep red with that question because of embarrassment. "Stop that Rizie. What honeymoon? I''m too old for that." Rizie''s face twitched and said, "Who''s old for that? Don''t tell me you two won''t have a honeymoon?! That can''t be and I strongly protest that¡­ Me and Dion will arrange that for you guys¡­ Let me also buy you mom some honeymoon lingeries..." Sheila''s eyes widened in horror and embarrassment while Rizie laughed out hard. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Frank, take care of everything I will leave for now. I have signed all the docs on my table. Call me if there''s anything. I will have lunch with my family," he informed his assistant on his desk as soon as he left his office. "Sir, you''re not coming back?" Frank asked. Josh raised an eyebrow and murmured, "Frank¡­ I won''t ask you to take care of everything if I will be returning, alright?" Frank scratched his head and nodded as he bid farewell to his boss. He wondered why the boss was in a hurry or if he was sick because he rarely goes home this early. More often than not he would sleep in his office, working overtime. The first thing Josh did when he arrived at their house was look for Rizie. His ungrateful twin would often not answer his call or reply to his messages so he had to scold her hard today. He saw Dion in the living room playing chess with Grandpa Shen. He smirked seeing Dion who gulped when he saw him. "Hmmm¡­ Good timing bro. My barn is in dire need of cleaning. My horses have been missing you, you know¡­" he tased with an evil smile plastered on his face. "This brat¡­ He will soon become your brother-in-law so you better treat him nicely," his Grandpa Shen scolded him. His eyes rounded and asked, "Are they engaged now? That fast? Are you sure? Rizie can''t last a relationship for even a month and though Dion has broken that record I bet let another week pass and he will get dumped..." Grandpa Shen''s eyes widened as he grabbed his cane to hit Josh on his leg but the latter was fast to avoid it. "Grandpa¡­ I''m a grown up man now. Stop hitting me with the cane." Josh complained. "You brat then stop bullying your soon to be brother-in-law¡­" Grandpa Shen chided and told Josh that the date for Rizie and Dion''s marriage had already been decided. "That''s quite fast though¡­ Don''t tell me you two?" Josh with rounded eyes speculated then continued, "Is Rizie pregnant???!!!" Dion coughed almost choked but immediately responded, "No! Of course not! I respect your sister and would never cross my limits before marriage¡­" Josh''s face glowered because he could not believe it. He was about to approach Dion to confront him further but Rizzie interrupted. "Hey bully¡­ Stop that! Why are you being harsh on Dion. He''s telling the truth. Pregnant me? Do you want a horsebacking race this instant? Or let''s fight over a drink later so you can see for yourself. Geez you''re simply exaggeratedly over reacting¡­ You need a girlfriend to stop being nosy..." Rizie scowled while he blocked Dion from her twin. Josh''s facial muscle flinched hearing those words from Rizie that he couldn''t help but said, "A girlfriend? Did you forget already how you shot all my previous girlfriends before?" Rizie''s eyebrows collided as she said, "Excuse me¡­ You should be thankful that I saved your *ss from those gold diggers. Josh if they really loved you as much as you loved them¡­ They would have stayed and wouldn''t be shooed away that easily." Dion held Rizie''s arms trying to stop her girlfriend from saying anymore words seeing the hurtful look from Josh. Rizie knew her twin was hurt as he recalled his pasts but she needed to tell Josh those words¡­" "You two stop that already. Aren''t you ashamed? We have a visitor. Dion, you come here, the lunch is ready. Let these twins talk for a while¡­" Sheila interrupted and Dion quickly obeyed. Grandpa Shen also stood up to follow Dion at the dining area. He paused and said, "You two make-up quickly and follow us soon in the dining area. We will wait for you¡­" Rizie exhaled loudly and murmured, "Sorry¡­ I know you''re still mad and sulky for what I did but please open your eyes. I only did that to save you from ending up with a wrong person¡­" "Yes Rizie and thank you. But I hope that would be the last time for you to do that. I don''t want you to bother anymore with my own matters, especially with my lovelife¡­ Whether I chose the wrong person or not, it will be my decision Rizie and I want to take responsibility for my own actions." Josh vividly stated. Another sigh escaped from Rizie''s mouth. Josh was really good in business but the man was stupid when it came to his lovelife. She admired Josh for becoming successful and he managed their family business very meticulously to grow it and take it at its peak, where it was right now so how come he so often had bad luck in love? "Josh, you know that I love you, so I can''t promise that I won''t bother when it comes to you having a good and happy life¡­" Rizie sincerely uttered that made Josh''s nostrils flare up as he mumbled, "You¡­ So how about me bothering you and Dion? I will definitely make your boyfriend suffer and if he leaves you because of that, then take it as he doesn''t love you enough¡­" Rizie gave her twin a crazy smirk as she proudly stated, "Sorry to disappoint you my twin because whatever it is that you do won''t matter at all¡­ Dion will never leave me. Anyway, how come you''re here? You''re a workaholic businessman. Wait¡­" Rizie''s eyes sparkled as something came to mind¡­"Ohhhh," she grinning spluttered. "What?" Josh mumbled. He hated that evil grin on Rizie''s face. It indicated that she would soon spout something absurd from her mouth. "Let''s go to the dining area¡­" he immediately uttered as he started to walk past her. "You''re curious about Cali right? I''m sure you vaguely wanted to pester me about her, that''s why you rushed in here¡­" Josh''s face crumpled and simply said, "Don''t keep them waiting." "Wow he did not deny it?" Rizie whispered and ran to follow Josh to tease her brother more. Cali¡­ Hmmm she liked Cali so if it was Cali¡­ She would still bother her twin of course but this time to support him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

I''m so bored¡­" Cali complained because she was not able to do anything all the day but to eat and sleep except for taking her therapies of course. She wanted to have fun but their house was filled only with oldies. The only thing she could play with them was chess, with her grandfather and it was getting very much boring for her. "Not yet dear. Your grandpa wants you to heal fast. No TV and no gadgets as yet¡­" Nanny Shine firmly said. Cali rolled her eyes and pouted her lips and turned them down in annoyance. "How about we open your mobile phone and I read all the unread messages for you," Nanny Shine suggested gleefully. "No!" Cali beamed because she knew that her nanny Shine was only spying on her then would tease her again afterwards. Tease her with that bully man Josh. She grabbed the mirror and looked at herself once again and like every time she crumpled her face seeing her bald head image in there. She realised she still looked pretty because of her naturally gorgeous features that being bald did not look bad on her. However, she did not want others to see her bald look. That was the main reason she denied accepting any visitors, she even did not accept visiting requests from her friends. Nanny Shine handed her the sewing kits and said, "Here try this¡­ this will keep you busy for a while, or maybe we really can open up your mobile phone you know. You look entertained whenever I read messages of your slave from your inbox." "Never mind nanny Shine. I''ll just try embroidering for a while, okay? Give me one of grandpa''s handkerchiefs and I will try to embroider his initials on it." Cali replied. She could tell from her nanny''s face that she was the topic of all talks behind her back by her grandpa and her nanny so no way. She decided to only open her mobile phone once she had a signal from her doctors that she could do so. After finishing up embroidering her grandfather''s initials on the handkerchief , Cali asked nanny Shine to accompany her to their garden since the weather was good and not too sunny as well. As Cali got down from her bed to go to the garden, one of their helpers approached her and said, "Mistress Cali¡­ You have a visitor." "Huh? I said I don''t want to see any visitors¡­" Cali answered with a crunchy face. "But, he said he was your surgeon¡­" answered the helper. Cali''s eyes rounded and burst, "You mean Dion? Oh let him in immediately and ask him to sit in the living room while I come there." She was hoping Dion brought Rizie also with her, though she was still a little hesitant to face them in her current condition, but she was gravely missing her newly gotten friends. Especially Rizie whom she liked a lot for being very honest and an outspoken person. Their personalities were really very alike. Cali stopped walking towards the living area and asked nanny Shine on her back, "Wait¡­ How do I look now? Do you think I should change my clothes, nanny Shine or maybe I should get a shawl and cover my head right?" "Why are you getting insecure without hair on your head? You still look so pretty my dear¡­ Even more beautiful than many of the women with hair, much prettier than them." Nanny Shine pointed out because it was true. Cali lifted the corners of her mouth hearing those praises and said, "Hmmp, you''re so biased nanny Shine!" But Cali trusted her nanny with her words, so she walked straight in their living room with her usual sweet and warm smile carved on her beautiful and angelic face. That charming smile quickly dissipated from her face and she paused seeing the visitors in the living room, it was not only Dion who was sitting there on their couch and Rizie was also there along with him, but the one who made her smile lost was the last person she ever expected to see in her living room¡­ the one she would rather not see her in that look was also there¡­ Josh, the bullyman. Cali blinked several times to make sure her eyes were not pranking her. ''What is this? He''s still there? He''s really here?'' she mused in awe, looking intently at the bullyman who was expressionlessly staring back at her. Cali came back to reality when she felt Rizie embracing her. "Ohhh Cali. It''s so good to see you, it''s such a relief to see you walking and not just lying on the bed! And hey! You look great!" she heard Rizie burst out. "Why is he here?" Cali whispered with an unexplainable expression on her face. Rizie''s lips pursed and explained, "It''s Dion''s fault. He accidentally spilled everything to Josh about whatever happened to you. Dion was not aware that you didn''t want Josh to know¡­" "Sorry Cali¡­" Rizie apologized in mutter. Cali looked at her with pouted lips and murmured, "See how I look? He will bully me¡­" Rizie laughed and shook her head. Cali was acting like a baby and it was cute as always. Besides, Cali was a few years younger than her¡­ "Don''t worry he won''t. He''s actually worried about you, that''s why he insisted on coming with us. Come¡­" Rizie encouraged and held Cali''s hand so she would feel comfortable as she guided her to sit beside her facing Dion and Josh on the other couch. Dion greeted Cali and stood up to check her wound. "Hmm, it''s pretty much healed. In a few more weeks, you can go back to your usual routine but then I suggest that you will not exert yourself too much yet." Cali''s face crumpled and she complained, "Why would I go back to my routine that fast. I will only be able to go out of the house once I grow my hair back." Rizie laughed and said, "Why? You look so beautiful Cali, even without hair. You know your face is so perfect that no one would get tired of staring at you even now. Don''t you agree Josh?" Josh who got startled gave Cali a quick glance before he meekly nodded. He couldn''t believe Cali was in such a big accident and had suffered so much and he was not only unaware of it all but he didn''t even have any clue about all that. He couldn''t help but feel bad looking at her weak body. Dion told him that she had a major brain surgery and he was actually grateful at the same time that Cali was alive and fit like she had always been. "You should make sure to get well soon and grow your hair back because you look like a monk now¡­" Josh muttered without looking at Cali. Riizie wanted to throw the vase on her brother that instant. ''Geez¡­ He''s losing it!'' Rizie mused. She was actually excited being a cupid but her twin was spoiling the moment by not showing his admiration to Cali with unintentional bullying. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Meanwhile, Yera discouraged him from going back to work for the time being and even did not allow him to leave the mansion once. Her main reason was that she was afraid for Xander''s safety and inside the mansion, Xander was safe and remained untouched by anyone who wanted to hurt him. "Darling, you don''t expect me to stay forever inside our house, do you? Tell me what''s wrong. What is the matter? There is some definite reason behind your actions, and I can feel it¡­ Something is definitely bothering you." Xander asked when Yera stopped him from changing his outfit inside their room to go visit Yang Globals'' office and see how the company was doing. "I mean¡­ You are acting overly exaggerated. I just want to visit for a while and look around a little then do nothing afterwards. So I don''t see any point why you are stopping me from going to the office," Xander added, a bit confused on how strangely protective his wife was acting at that moment. Yera signaled Xander to sit beside her on the side of their bed and Xander obliged¡­ He saw his wife let out a loud sigh before staring at him directly and began to tell him about things. Yera explained everything from the start to Xander starting with the collapse of Dami Bridge followed by the attack by an intruder inside the ICU and the anonymous tips Rui was getting. She knew it was already time for Xander to get updated on everything so she also included the Mirage Triad, the speculations about the Yue Clan twins and Jiang twins then Dion''s trip to Country V and finding the details from there. Xander pursed his lips and calmly sighed¡­ "Hmm, darling, you just blasted my head with so much information¡­" Xander murmured, trying to process everything in his head slowly. Yera got worried that she immediately sealed her husband''s lips to change his course of thinking. "Everything is very complicated so don''t think about it too much at once. Just go through the details one at a time¡­" She whispered in his ear before giving him another gentle kiss on his lips. She sensually nibbled his lower lip then did the same on his upper lip. It seemed to be effective hearing her husband groaned. Yera continued and kissed him deeper. She gently pulled him towards herself breathless but when she was about to rise from her seat, Xander held her arms firmly. "What are you doing Mrs. Yang? Teasing your husband like this and running?" she heard her husband''s hoarse voice. Yera could see the fire in his eyes and she bit her lip. To be honest, Xander was already allowed for lovemaking as long as he did not overexert himself, just that Yera was still afraid¡­ She felt her husband copied what she did on his lips. He was hungrily sucking and nibbling her upper and lower lips making Yera shivered as his hand became aggressive, caressing her inner thighs while pulling the hem of her dress up. Yera''s heart was beating erratically as the familiar sensation she was longing for rushed in her blood. She gasped when her husband touched her sensitive spot in between her thighs. She m.o.a.ned as his fingers playfully traced her sleek folds up and down with her panty still on and paused particularly where her tiny nob was. She was now clinging her arms on his neck and answering his wild kisses when Xander''s hand went inside her panty. He pulled away from her lips and started to shower her face then neck with kisses. It was too easy for him to unzip her dress from the back and let the strap flawlessly fall on her waist. She did not even know how he undid her bra, exposing her bare b.r.e.a.s.ts before his eyes. "Darling, I really missed this," she heard Xander hushed as she felt his tongue and mouth on one of her peaks. She missed it too and Yera felt she was going crazy soon because of what her husband was doing both in her upper and lower body. "Darling, tell me to stop and I''ll stop¡­" she heard her husband tease. Yera wanted to hit her husband that instant because she knew he was intentionally teasing her, knowing that she was going weak under his touch and spell like that. Did she want him to stop? Of course not! She was already quivering as he inserted his fingers inside her cave, deepening each thrust, making her groan and m.o.a.n for more. "I guess I don''t need to stop," Xander breathed before sucking another n.i.p.p.l.e in his mouth. "You tease!" Yera hissed with a stuttering voice as it was followed by another m.o.a.n from her mouth. As his thrust deepened and accelerated, Yera yanked as she reached her peak. Still quivering, she narrowed her eyes to her husband and removed his clothes before gently pushing him to lie on the bed. She began to slowly shower him with her kisses, licking, nibbling and making him growl and asked for more. She went further south and touched his member that was already hard and dripping with ecstasy. She lowered her head and attended to his member with her tongue followed by her mouth. He was growing bigger and larger inside¡­ She felt Xander''s hands pulling her back up and whispered, "Darling I don''t want to release my seeds inside your mouth please¡­" He was pleading and Yera arched her brows amused on the way he spoke. Her dear husband was too eager to plant every single one of his seeds inside her w.o.m.b and just how could she even think of objecting him when she also was aiming for the same thing. Yera positioned herself and gently slid his member inside herself. She m.o.a.ned when it was fully inside her and started to move slowly. Her movements were too soft and gentle, afraid that she would bang him hard that could affect shaking on his head. She leaned down while she made sure to move only her buttocks up and down while she monitored Xander''s head if it was causing movements or too much shaking of his head. She felt Xander, pulled her head for a kiss after saying, "Shhh¡­ Don''t think too much darling. I''m really fine¡­" Yera felt him meet her rhythm and the couple both reached their peak and climaxed¡­ "I missed this really¡­ I missed making love like this to my beautiful wife. I love you darling¡­" Xander whispered, grateful that he was given another chance in life to be with his wife like this. "I love you too¡­" Yera answered lovingly and hugged Xander tight while she rested on his chest. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Xander went to look for his father who was not in his room nor study area. He saw butler Gary and asked, "Where is dad?" "He''s probably in the bas.e.m.e.nt¡­" butler Gary guessed because Senior Yang often stayed there and checked his wife''s things alone from the past few days. At first he asked to help him out, but Senior Yang dismissed the butler saying he would personally check all the belongings of the late Madame on his own. Xander knew what was in the bas.e.m.e.nt. He walked and headed there but paused for a while. Those memories flashed across his eyes when his mother died. He remembered how difficult it had been for his father to bring him out of this place then, he was still a kid since he last stepped foot inside the bas.e.m.e.nt. He pushed the button and the door opened. This bas.e.m.e.nt almost became his favourite room for a year¡­ Because all the things that reminded him of his mother were here¡­ memories were the only things that remained then and even until now... As he stepped foot inside the bas.e.m.e.nt, he saw his father sitting with a few things on the couch, he was going through the contents of a box, lifting everything that was inside. His father looked at him when he felt his presence approaching. "You''re here. These are your mother''s personal things and I''m double checking everything for any information¡­" Senior Yang explained. Yera already told him that Xander was now aware about the twins. Xander sat beside his father and looked at the numerous photo frames that were displayed in the Master''s bedroom before. There were a lot of them actually because his mother loved taking pictures and getting them framed to hang in her bedroom and admire them. Framing their photos and putting it all inside their bedroom at any available space had become her routine as well as passion since Xander was born. "Your mom loved taking photos," Xander heard his father whisper. But Senior Yang kept almost all hidden in the bas.e.m.e.nt because of Xander who had a difficult time moving on after his mother''s death. Xander would always cry whenever he would see his mother in the photos so Senior Yang decided to hide and had it all in a box duly sealed, away from Xander''s eyes. "Yeah¡­ She was very lovely." Xander muttered, recalling how her mom always had her beautiful smile on her gorgeous face making her look more charming. He looked at the small and big frames and heard his father say with a grin, "Geez, looked at how many frames are there¡­" "I will help you. Maybe we should open each frame to check once? There could be a letter hidden somewhere¡­" Xander suggested. It randomly came to his mind since mostly people with hidden past did the same things like in movies. He heard his father chuckle and jokingly say, "Maybe I should start flipping the pages of my favorite book. Who knows your mom could have left something in there for me." "Dad I''m serious¡­ It''s a possibility. You should ask a helper to do this because it''s too dusty now." Xander commented as he wiped some dust from one of the frames. "You leave me here and go accompany your wife. I can manage in here besides it feels great looking at the old photos of your mother." Senior Yang instructed. Xander ignored him and continued opening each of the frames. "Dad¡­ You and mom never told me before how you two met¡­" Xander murmured. He was suddenly interested to find out about it so he added, "Well I think it will be good if you reminisce those memories. You might remember some important things at some point." "Seriously son?" Senior Yang asked in disbelief because his son was not fond of him narrating anything at all. Xander would always leave him whenever he would narrate those and that. "Well yeah because it involves mom. Before I couldn''t bear listening to whenever you talked, mostly bragging about yourself during your younger years you know." Xander honestly answered with a grin, recalling how he would always walk out on his father whenever the old man would start bragging. "Hmm, well it was love at first sight for me¡­" Senior Yang started his story but was interrupted as both the men were startled when the door opened and Yera entered with a tray of snacks and behind her was butler Gary with some fresh fruit drinks. "I thought you guys would like some refreshments¡­" Yera said smiling and placed the tray on the table. She quickly sat beside Xander and looked at the photo frames. "Wow¡­ Mother-in-law was indeed very beautiful. What a lovely smile." Yera praised. Similarities in Xander''s facial features were really vivid and Xander was almost the replica of her, if he would have long hair like his mother. "You''re just right in time darling because dad was about to narrate his love story with mom," Xander commented. Yera''s eyes widened in excitement as she said, "Wow really. I''m actually too curious to find out and hear about it." Senior Yang was dumbfounded, seeing the couple sitting and eagerly waiting for the story like little children¡­ Senior Yang looked at butler Gary who was still there, and asked, "Why are you still here and not leaving yet?" he asked with narrowed eyes. "I wanna hear it too." butler Gary answered with an awkward smile. "Alright this will be a long narration so take a chair and sit¡­" Senior yang answered with a smile. It felt so good to reminisce those good old days and have it narrated to his children. Yera stared at her husband feeling proud of how he calmly managed the situation. He was making sure to follow her advice on not to think much about everything since they had a lot of people on their side who were sincerely helping them out. He was hanging out well, very serene. She was aware that Dion and Rui would arrive later so the three could discuss further since she and Xander would leave soon to stay at Plumeria Island. To be honest it wouldn''t be for a simple honeymoon vacation but it was also a strategy suggested by Keira''s husband, General Zach. She was not aware yet about the entire plan but one thing was for sure¡­ the island would be a safe haven for her and Xander... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

It was late noon¡­ That day when he first met Kanya... James was waiting for his driver outside the building and got too startled when a man suddenly grabbed his neck from behind and pointed a knife with his other hand on his neck. The man shouted at the woman who seemed to be chasing him. "I will kill this man if you don''t leave me alone!" the man with the knife screamed. James looked at the woman who was panting hard from running, with bent knees she rested her palms on her knees to catch her breath just as she stopped. The man aiming the knife at him kept shouting at her¡­ He could feel his heart pounding hard and fast, not because of the knife on his neck but because of the woman who straightened up her body after catching her breath. She was wearing a police uniform that fitted well on her perfect body and her eyes were glaring fiercely on his spot. "Seriously dad?! Perfect body? You were such a pervert! That''s how you looked at my mom?" Xander could not help but interrupt and tease Senior Yang during the narration of his story. "Ouch!" he cried when Yera pinched on his arms. "Don''t you dare interrupt father. You''re spoiling our concentration! Shhhhhh!" Yera hissed so Xander immediately zipped his mouth up. Senior Yang laughed but then continued, "As I''ve said¡­ That was indeed love at first sight, you know, when you suddenly have that feeling of some kind of deep connection with her, like you just knew the moment you saw her that she''s the one for you. That''s what I honestly felt at that time seeing Kanya at that moment¡­" Senior Yang recalled that incredible scene where the man with a knife firmly held him. "Drop that gun!" Shouted that man with a knife, that almost blocked Jame''s ear. James stared at her unblinkingly with his mouth agape. For some reason, he could not take his eyes off her for even a single second. "You in white suit! Make sure you won''t move a single millimiter or else you''ll die. You understand?" James heard the policewoman shouted. "Do you understand?" the policewoman repeated seeing no response from him. James opened his mouth and said, "Yes!" The moment he closed his mouth, he heard a gunshot. It happened too fast and the last thing he saw was the policewoman hurriedly grabbing the wounded attacker and handcuffing him instantly. By that time other policemen had already arrived and he could no longer see that policewoman. "Sir, are you alright?" the policeman asked him. "Who was that policewoman?" James mumbled instead. "Oh Police Officer Kanya Jiang?" James nodded hearing the name before he ran to the hospital since he had a small cut on his neck. Kanya''s face was embedded inside Jame''s head. He couldn''t simply forget her face. He was charmed by her beauty but not only by her beauty but her brave and fierce attitude also made him crazy for her. Since then he had got her entire profile and asked his assistant to find out everything about Kanya Jiang. "Tsk¡­ tsk¡­ You were delusional at that time dad, I can''t believe you were such a stalker¡­" Xander, again, could not help but interrupted. He was teasing his father who only gave him an arched brow before countering, "Well, look who''s talking? Didn''t you also stalk Yera before?" Yera''s eyes widened hearing that because she was not aware of that. "You stalked me? So I was right at that time?" she burst out, recalling how she accused Xander of stalking but the latter strongly denied that time. "Of course not just that I checked your profile¡­ and¡­" Xander explained a bit while stuttering. Senior yang laughed and said, "What? Isn''t that stalking? You intentionally stayed at Bernard''s unit and had Yera¡­" "Stop it dad¡­ Why don''t you continue with the story? So when did you meet mother next?" Xander interrupted trying to divert everyone''s attention. "Well you see I filed a complaint that someone is threatening me and you know¡­ I had my assistant arrange everything so your mother''s superior would hand my case to your mother only, and so that was when our second meeting happened¡­ I met your mother at the police office the second time." Senior Yang continued and he smiled recalling how he arranged everything so Kanya would personally look after him to give him police protection. James could even recall how Kanya strongly objected but she couldn''t do anything since her superior had dropped her the order. "Your mom was like a tomboy. But that''s what I loved about her. She would shout at me and scold me. She did not care about my status at all. For her all people were equal regardless of their social status. It was really hard at first because she would always ignore me. She even dumped me several times¡­" Senior Yang chuckled. "But your persistence and sincere heart broke her barriers¡­" Yera commented. Senior Yang nodded. "One thing that became a hindrance was our different status in life and Kanya was too worried for me because of that¡­" "Dad, how about auntie Nerrie? Was she also good at fighting like mom?" Xander suddenly asked. Senior Yang paused and seemed to recall an incident.. "Oh yeah right, both those twins were actually very sharp witted. Kanya was a police officer so it was a given for her to be good at using any kind of weapon including fighting skills but Nerrie was a school teacher¡­ There was this instance when we both families were camping, I saw her throwing a knife and guess what? It directly pierced a snake on the tree, where Cooper was leaning." "Nerrie died after giving birth to Bernard so¡­" Senior Yang added. "Yeah I know dad that she had a natural death but¡­" Xander muttered, because he wanted to check it still. "No Xander. Let your uncle Cooper be. He had been through enough already for you to go back on that case¡­" Senior Yang scolded. He visited Cooper and the latter wished he could have a quiet life already saying, "They can no longer bring back the dead to life so just let it be Yang," Mr. Cooper said when he suggested that they reopen Bernard''s case and Senior Yang preferred to respect that decision instead of forcing him. Xander sighed¡­ He strongly believed that Yue Clan twins and the Jiang twins were the same people and later he was going to have a close discussion with Dion and Rui about it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"What can I do for you Mr. Lua?" he asked, offering the old man a cup of tea which the latter accepted. "I want to seek your help for my granddaughter. Actually Dion has recommended you to me when I asked him for a reference, saying you''re the best in this field." Mr. Lua said with a serious face then he asked Rui if he could personally visit his granddaughter Cali and take a look at her. "I''m just worried that the accident might have had a huge impact on her though I did not observe anything unusual with her yet." Mr. Lua explained. To be honest, Dion had already called Rui to inform him about it though he had not expected Mr. Lua to visit him this soon. "Alright¡­ Mr. Lua, I will check on your granddaughter as soon as I can." he assured the old man who did not stay longer and already bid him farewell since Mr. Lua knew that Rui was too busy from the past few days due to Xander''s absence after the accident. Mr. Lua was grateful enough that Dr. Rui Dee agreed to personally check on his granddaughter. "Cali Lua?" Rui whispered as he stared at his door where Mr. Lua left. He was aware of the story behind Cali and Mr. Lua. Rui was glad that the said set up did not last long because it would then be unfair for Rizie. Cali Lua¡­ He actually laughed hard at the time when he heard from Dion that the woman bravely made a proposal to Dion that time, going against or behind the back of her grandfather. She did give him a good impression and he was curious to meet the girl. He looked at his wrist watch and immediately prepared to leave. He would have dinner at Yang Ancestral mansion with the whole Yang family and it was almost time. When Rui arrived at the mansion, Dion and Rizie were already there. "Mr. Lua visited me a while ago," Rui informed Dion. "Honestly, I think Cali is doing alright, her grandfather seems to be worrying too much¡­" Rizie commented based on her observation of Cali last time they visited. Then she added, recalling something, "Except that I think she has become too conscious with her head being bald¡­ I mean she''s not accepting any visitors, not even her close friends¡­!" "That''s actually what concerned Mr. Lua because Cali is otherwise a very confident girl¡­ She''s a very friendly person who loves to socialize. Mr. Lua was worried that the incident would affect Cali''s mental and emotional state or stability so I recommended Rui.." Dion explained as he drank his tea. They were all in the living room except for Yera who was monitoring the dining area and Senior Yang who was in his study room. Rizie looked at Xander and muttered, "How about you Bro Xander?" "What about me?" Xander mumbled with a creased forehead. "Yeah I will look at his mental and emotional state also later after dinner¡­" Rui remarked that made Xander twitch his face. "No need Rui. I''m so perfectly fine¡­" he proudly countered. Rui narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Xander before teasing, "So tell me¡­ Based on your head injury¡­ I''m really curious¡­. Did you turn into a hyper or hypo?" Dion who immediately got that question almost spit out the tea in his mouth. Rizie who seemed left behind and could not grasp the question frowned and naively asked, "What hypo and what hyper? Hyperactive and hypoactive in movement?" Rui nodded with a smirk. Rizie looked at Xander from head to toe and commented, "He looks fine just the neutral movements to me?" Dion gulped trying his best to control his laughter but failed¡­ Rizie pouted her lips and grunted, "What? What''s so funny?" "Rizie¡­ Go in the kitchen and help Yera. Boys are talking." Xander instructed that Rizie crumpled her face as she quickly stood and stomped towards the dining area. As soon as Rizie left, Xander boastfully stated, "Of course my s.e.x.u.a.l drive has now turned hyperactive, the way it should be!" "Let''s change the topic shall we gentlemen?" Xander suddenly uttered. Dion was the first to speak and said, "I think staying at Plumeria Island is a good idea but we have to plan everything thoroughly first... We have to be precise and not rush with things. Meanwhile, you have to stay inside the house¡­" Rui raised his arm and seconded, "Yes I strongly agree that Xander and Yera should stay quarantined inside the house while we are planning things. Xander you must heed this advice, because this is really serious¡­ For goodness sake, you''re not a cat with nine lives¡­ You cannot always succeed in escaping death¡­" "I know Rui, that''s why I''m listening. But then you have to stay rooted inside the company while I''m away. Rui rolled his eyes and replied, "Yeah I know right? Next time you come back¡­ the company is already in my palm. I will rob it from you like Mr. Lua did¡­ ha ha ha" "Stop joking around," Dion whimpered at Rui who gave him a lopsided grin. Rui laughed and said, "What? Let me be because I''m a psychiatrist and Xander needs this kind of session while we are having a serious talk." Xander shook his head and chuckled¡­ "See? Your brother-in-law is smiling. You should drop being too serious because it''s not good for Xander''s hyperactive s.e.x.u.a.l brain!" Rui added. Dion scratched his head for being too slow witted for things like that. Good thing Rui was around.. "By the way Rui¡­ Do you know that Shan and Ron already registered their marriage? Dion and Rizie would follow soon. Tell me when is yours? You are already so old now, why don''t you find a partner for yourself?" Xander bantered. "What? How dare that Ron not inform me! Doesn''t he want a wedding gift from me?" Rui exclaimed. "Don''t change the topic. Do you want Dion to get married first? When will you get a girlfriend? Or are you planning to be an old maid?" Xander continued to shoot arrows of torture towards his friend. "How could I?! You''re giving me a lot of work!" Rui complained. "Why? Is Dion not the same? I bet he''s more loaded with work and see how he could still play around¡­" Xander mumbled. Dion shook his head hearing the two banter. He saw Rizie approaching with a crumpled face and said, "Dinner is ready.: Dion immediately stood and walked up to her. "Geez boy''s talk you say? You gossip mongers.." Rizie chided. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rui was guided inside by Cali''s nanny. "Please stay here for a while. I''ll go get Cali." Cali''s nanny said. Rui nodded. After a while, Mr. Lua came there and sat down with him and coffee was served. "I know you''re a busy man Dr. Dee and I''m really grateful that you spared some time to check my granddaughter." Mr. Lua, full of gratitude, greeted. Rui smiled, he could smell the great change in Mr. Lua''s character based on how he was previously described by Yera. Truly, the incident of losing someone you gave much importance to could be an eye opener for someone. The nanny went back with an awkward smile and Mr. Lua asked, "What happened to Shine? Where is Cali." The nanny simply shook her head and murmured, "She said she won''t come down. Why would she need a psychiatrist when she is not a crazy person?" Rui could not help but laugh at that but then quickly stopped seeing the two stared at him. "I''m sorry, it''s just that most people think the same when they hear the word psychiatrist. The first thing that will always come to mind is that they have mental problems. It''s a defense mechanism¡­ Is it okay if I just go to where she is?" Rui suggested with a smile. "Oh sure Dr. Dee. Come and I will escort you to her room. I''m really worried about her you see. I don''t want her to stay in this state for long. I mean, she used to go out a lot and enjoy being with her friends. But now she only allowed her doctors to see her and only Rizie but after their last visit, she instructed anyone that she will no longer accept a visit except for her official doctors." Mr. Lua explained. Rui understood. Mr. Lua knocked and opened Cali''s door. Rui entered and saw Cali sitting on her balcony. Rui signaled Mr. Lua and the nanny that they could leave already so they did. Rui almost assessed Cali''s personality just by looking around her room. She had definitely a bright but stubborn personality. "I said I don''t want a psychiatrist grandpa. I''m perfectly fine, okay?" Cali muttered when she heard footsteps approaching her. "You have a nice view in here¡­" Cali heard a strange masculine voice behind her. She turned her head to look who was the one speaking and her eyes blinked several times to check if she was hallucinating or was this sound real? She gulped, staring at the smiling face¡­ Sparks were all over him like there were fireworks and the impact that she was looking for¡­ She could feel it¡­ butterflies rumbling inside her stomach. "Oh my God!" she unconsciously muttered. "Hello Cali. I''m Dr. Rui Dee. Actually a psychiatrist does not only check on mentally sick patients¡­ It''s more of a psychological warfare of the person like for example you are in an accident¡­ I am here to assess if the accident has caused you any traumatic experience. It would be better if I can see whether you have emotional stability at this time." Rui explained, amused at Cali''s surprised face at that moment. Cali was indeed an adorable and cute girl. Despite being bald, her angelic and tamed facial features could not be hidden. Cali immediately composed and calmed herself but her face suddenly crumpled when she realized her head and how freaking ugly she looked at that moment. "Doctor can you go down now? I will follow you shortly. Please wait for me in the living room¡­" Cali requested, tilting her head down as her face reddened with embarrassment. "Oh sure... then I''ll wait in the living room." Rui answered and left the room. Cali quickly got up from her chair as soon as Dr. Dee left. She immediately checked her walk-in closet. She heard the door open and nanny Shine entering. "Cali dear¡­ Good thing that you agreed to be checked..." Nanny Shine commented with a smile and followed Cali inside. Her forehead creased seeing Cali trying to fit and check a lot of dresses. "What''s going on?" nanny Shine asked, confused. "Nanny!!! He''s my type, my ideal man¡­ I could see the sparks and feel the impact! Hurry up and help me change into a good dress. Something better than what I''m wearing¡­" Cali burst as she undressed to change to another one. She also picked a shawl that matched her dress to hide her bald head. Nanny Shine shook her head. She was not sure if it was a good thing seeing Cali like that. If she was right, Dr. Dee was somewhat around ten years older to Cali¡­ She suddenly felt sympathy for Dr. Dee seeing the predatory look in the eyes of her child. "Wait, what about Josh?" Nanny Shine suddenly recalled. She met that man who is even younger than Dr. Dee. She thought Cali and Josh''s personalities would complement well somehow. Cali''s face crumpled and said, "Nanny Shine what about that bully? He''s just a friend I''m comfortable hanging around with, to banter to. I told you¡­ He''s not my ideal type¡­" Nanny Shine sighed and helped Cali zip the back of her dress. That bully seemed to like her Cali though. Well, Cali was still young and had probably yet to experience the rollercoaster journey to love so she would just watch for naught and back her in her decision. "Is this better?" Nanny Shine heard Cali asked when she wrapped the shawl on her head. "Yes, you look stunning my child. Beautiful as always¡­" Nanny Shine smiled. Her child was too giddy and even squealing that she couldn''t help but jokingly said, "I think you better see the psychiatrist seeing how crazy you''re acting right now." Cali''s face twisted and answered, "Hmmp¡­ that''s the effect of spark and impact nanny. I should go out soon to have my head checked. I mean I wanna grow my hair soon!" "Also, do you think it will be possible to get numerous visits? But maybe not¡­ I might visit his clinic every now and then if he can''t visit me often." Nanny Shine gently hit Cali''s back and muttered, "This child! You should not act so desperate¡­ You will shoo him away that instant¡­" Cali blinked at her nanny and mumbled, "Really?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Xander suddenly asked Yera while he flipped some of the books that her mother loved to read. They were in the bas.e.m.e.nt, making sure they checked every single thing for a clue. Yera chuckled and said, "Why do you want to go out? Didn''t we all agree that it''s best to stay inside the mansion? " "Yeah, but I think I will need physical appearance¡­ You see the company is facing some backlash and Rui is not actually familiar on how to handle it. My absence is giving the group a negative vibe so I have to show them that I''m in good health¡­" Xander explained because the report he got from Ron was not really good. Ron had honestly informed that Rui was actually having difficulties in handling the PR matters and Xander perfectly understood it. Rui actually did not want a position because he wanted to live a carefree life, however he was the one who strongly requested him to be a COO for personal matters. He somehow wanted Rui to stay longer in their country with him rather than roaming around while he did not know where the latter had been travelling. He heard his wife chuckle and ask, "How come you''re asking me to go out on a date when you wanna go out to show yourself at your company?" Xander grinned and said, "Hmm, I wanna go out on a date too so I thought we can do both on the same day." Yera gave him a not so convinced look so Xander grinned and said, "Well I''m sure you will scold me or not agree to it if I said, I want to go out at work¡­ I just wanted to see your reaction if I ever ask you to go out on a date¡­ See if it''s the same¡­" Xander playfully voiced out. "Hmm, I think it won''t be good to go out for a date but I will consider you to go and show the board that you are now doing well. It is not good to stay outside for too long. It''s still not safe for you out there, so if it''s not really important, we should not go out." "Yeah¡­ I''ll just show up once and talk at the board meeting then. By the way Lyndon''s trial is almost ending. We should attend the verdict¡­" Xander suddenly recalled and Yera nodded. Xander gave his wife a solemn look. He was feeling bad¡­ He knew his wife''s great passion in surgery and saving lives but here she was locked in with him. He bet his wife was dying to hold a scalpel in her hands¡­ Yera''s case should be solved by now since everyone who wanted her dead was now being punished. Though there was still this missing piece on who was the one who killed the leader of the gangster and why? He believed it was not Lyndon because there was also no strong evidence that it was Lyndon. Dion said that it could be someone from Yue Clan but the motive was still unclear. He suddenly felt pain in his head that made him cringed and touched it. "What''s wrong?" Yera asked, full of concern. "Is it hurting? Where exactly? Calm your breathing and clear your thoughts right now!" Yera instructed. Xander immediately straightened up his body and nozzled his lips. Yera fromwned and asked, "What are you doing?" "You say clear my thoughts? My mind is clearing only whenever you kiss me darling." Xander muttered with still pouting lips, aiming for a kiss. Yera chuckled at that and said, "You look like a duck¡­" Xander ignored her and moved even closer with his lips still nozzled at his wife. "Faster¡­ I need head clearing¡­" Xander repeated. Yera ''s mouth snapped shut as she shook her head. "Why?" Xander complained. "We can only do it once a week for now¡­" Yera muttered. Xander faked a naive look and asked, "Do what?" Yera twitched her mouth and said, "If we kiss now¡­ We will end up making love and as I''ve said you still need a few more weeks to be perfectly fine, so we can''t do it often. Once a week will be the maximum." "We can at least just kiss darling¡­" Xander convinced . Yera however was not convinced because Xander usually ended up doing more than just a kiss so she firmly said, "No. I don''t trust you. A peck will do but not the clearing kiss because that''s too long." She quickly gave him a simple plain sounding peck on his lips. "What''s that? Not effective at all!" Xander complained with a grumpy face that made Yera laugh. Yera ignored him and grabbed some random book and flipped it. "Don''t complain and let''s work on finishing this. I''m sure your mind is already cleared hearing you complain a lot." Yera denoted when suddenly something fell on the floor when she flipped the book. She paused and exchanged a startled stare with her husband. "Is that a note?" she heard Xander asked. "I''m not sure¡­ Could only be a bookmark? I didn''t see¡­ Let me pick it up¡­" Yera mumbled as she bent down on the floor to find what was it that slid under the couch they were sitting on. Meanwhile, Xander got nervous finding out what it was. He was hoping it could be something of use. He picked up the book on the table that Yera was flipping a while ago, it was one of the crime books of his mother. Maybe because of the nature of her job, Xander''s mother had a lot of crime based story-books. "I got it!" he heard Yera burst who was still on the floor with her arm raised up with it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

It turned out that Xander was right. He unfolded the letter¡­ Kanya had written a date also on it, and if he was not mistaken it was only a day before she died. Senior Yang closed his eyes seeing it was indeed Kanya''s handwriting. Dear James, I hope I''ll be able to tell you all of this in person before you find this letter. I am writing this letter because I heard my dad has passed away at country V. Yes, me and Kelly were not really orphans but we are from country V. For once I thought it''s no longer needed for me to write this nor is it important for you to know about my past, but I''m having a bad feeling since my dad has died and that too after knowing that it was not a natural death. We are from Yue Clan, one of the three clans forming the Mirage Triad. Each of the three Clans are very powerful and are dominating the world in business¡­ The triad is a sacred group and they have always maintained their privacy and kept themselves a secret from the public, so I guess it will be the first time you''ve heard of it. Yue Clan were training Shadow Beauties and we were a part of it, me and Kelly. They were girls that were trained to kill since birth, assassins in short. When my father ruled and became the King, he strongly opposed the said tradition because he wanted to start a good and clean regime for Yue Clan but only a few people supported him in this idea. Father then started building up a legal company that focused on electronics to show to the whole Clan that we could still be powerful without building up Shadow Beauties but most of his siblings did not want to end that tradition, saying they needed that to surpass the Quan Clan and Tai Clan. Kelly and I were forced to go to a deadly mission and dad then arranged everything to save us from the ugly tradition of the clan. He faked our deaths and eventually sent us here at country D to live a new life. Our father promised our safety as long as he lived, but he wanted us to still get ready in case something bad happens. I had a great time here in your country, both me and Kelly met the man whom we could share our lives with. Kelly died while giving birth to Bernard and my father probably was too disheartened because of that. He fell sick and I heard he had been struggling for years to keep his position and keep me safe from his other siblings who were greedy to snatch power away from him. I know I should have told you about this as early as I could but I was scared. James, I know it was selfish but I got scared of losing you. I was scared that you will carry the burden of my past and background. It was really hard for me, my dear James, to keep everything inside me and not tell you anything. I love you and Xander¡­ I love you both too much¡­ Please remember this if anything happens to me!! If any of my uncles found out that I am alive, especially uncle Yun or uncle Marcus, one of them would probably kill me and then Xander as well for having my father''s blood running through our body because in the Mirage Law¡­ My father''s blood, as the previous king, would be the sole heir to reign Yue Clan. Kelly is dead already so Bernard''s life would be in danger too if that would be the case. Yue Clan has a very cunning way of killing. They should not jeopardize the group or either way they would pay for it. If anything really bad happens and I''m no longer by your side¡­ Please try to contact my auntie, she is the only person you could trust. Her name is Ester Chang. I Love you so much James. Please forgive me. I love you and please tell Xander how much I love him too. You two are my world and the reason why I wanted to live¡­ Kanya. James'' tears kept falling as he stared at the letter. His heart ached for his poor wife. How much evil did someone like her and Kelly have experienced when they were growing up in that clan. He couldn''t imagine that behind such an adorable smile from his wife was her inhuman and cruel past. He felt so bad for Kanya and he himself felt so useless and powerless that he was unable to protect his wife well. "I''m sorry too Kanya¡­" Senior Yang murmured as he sobbed hard. Meanwhile, Yera and Xander were already inside their room to sleep. "Do you think father is okay?" Yera asked. She and Xander had already read the letter that they found and Xander chose to give the letter to his father after their dinner so he could read it while he was inside the room. Xander sighed and tightened his embrace around Yera followed by a loving kiss on her forehead and said, "Yes, dad will be fine. He''s probably crying right now and wants to be alone so it''s best we let him be for now." "Darling¡­" Yera heard Xander whisper. "Huh?" she breathed. "I am sorry¡­" She heard Xander whisper. "Why are you saying sorry?" Yera said as she gently broke away from Xander''s arms to look at his face. "For having a complicated background like this. You''ve been through a lot already and yet you''ve been married to a person who had a price labelled on his head. You deserve a happy normal life¡­" Xander stressed. Yera crumpled her face and said, "Stop saying that! I was the one with a complicated background before but you stayed with me! I will no longer talk to you if you start saying nonsense things like that again!" Xander could feel his wife getting furious so hugged her and kissed her cheek and said, "Noted darling¡­" followed by a kiss on her lips. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She blocked Dion''s schedule and had the latter stop receiving patients for a while or else Dion would get absolutely drained not physically as well as mentally. It would be better that he focussed at his CEO and Vice Chairman position backing up his sister Yera as the reappointed Chairman. She admired her boyfriend a lot because not only was he doing great as CEO and Vice Chairman but he was also helping his brother-in-law in the Mirage case. Rizie smiled as she picked up the calling card of the designer recommended by her sister-in-law Keira. Good thing she had her mom, sister and sister-in-law to assist her with the preparations of their marriage. She discouraged Dion from getting involved in everything else except for his suit fitting, because she knew Dion already had enough on his plate at that moment. She looked at the clock and it was almost time to get off from work, yet Dion was still in a meeting. After a little wait she smiled when she saw him approaching. "Are you done?" she asked. "Yup¡­ I''ll just get the car keys then we will leave," Dion answered. Rizie grabbed her bag and bid her farewell to her assistant because she would leave first. Her assistant nodded. Her relationship with Dion was already known to everyone at Life Hospitals group by now. Well, that news travelled so fast. Rizie was humming inside Dion''s car when she suddenly choked on her saliva. Dion laughed witnessing that and teased, "I bet Shan is cursing you with all her capacity by now¡­" Rizie grinned and said, "Why? Those are nice lingeries you know. They will soon be blessed with a baby because of my thoughtful gift. I bet I have given the best gift among all the others¡­" She gave Shan her gift that morning to congratulate the latter for getting married to Ron. She was with Dion when she bought those lingeries¡­ "Well the others probably gave them the most expensive gifts." Dion replied, indicating towards the gift given by Xander and Yera. "Whatever.. Mine is still the best. I''m good at choosing such tempting lingeries. I wonder how mom will react once she also gets those gifts from me." Rizie laughed at the thought of her mom''s reaction once she gave her mom the lingeries. "It would be epic Di, mom''s expression would definitely be epic. Hehe.." Rizie murmured. Dion shook his head while grinning at his fiance who was obviously enjoying being playful in giving lingeries as gifts. They were headed towards a restaurant that Rizie book for dinner. Dion could not help but tease his girlfriend during the ride. "How about you Riz, let me choose lingeries for you¡­ I bet you will like them all. Better than the ones you chose for Shan and mom." Dion mumbled with a mischievous grin. "Over my dead gorgeous body... I will prefer comfy shirts without underwears. How about that?" Rizie fought back, not letting his boyfriend win the teasing. Then she challenged , "Or I might consider one if you also wear something I will buy for you on our wedding night." "Call¡­" Dion quickly replied and snapped his fingers at her. He would make sure to choose the best lingerie for his future wife. Rizie rolled her eyes and murmured, "You''re enjoying this huh? Just wait and see. You sure gonna love what I will choose for you¡­" The couple''s bantering was cut off when Dion suddenly received a call from Chad. "Yes Chad?" Dion asked with the speaker of his phone on. "I will be in your country next week. Let''s meet. I got something for you¡­" Chad said. "Alright¡­" Dion quickly ended. "Hey why did you end it so soon. I wanna talk and greet him too. It''s been a while since I last saw Joh¡­ I mean Chad. Okay then,, I shall go with you when you''ll go to meet him," Rizie muttered. "No¡­ It''s a men''s only meet-up so why would you come?" Dion plainly commented. "Men''s only meeting? You two will talk about Mirage so it''s okay for me to be there. Besides, I know John more than you know him. Leave it, just give me his number so I can contact him myself to hang out¡­" Rizie with raised eyebrow stated. It was really awhile since she last saw John and it would be nice to say hi and hellos since they knew each other. Dion was quiet for some time before saying, "No need to contact him. I''ll just bring you when I''ll go to meet him, okay?" They arrived at the restaurant and the couple were still quiet when they were having dinner. Rizie was uncomfortable with Dion''s silence. She looked around but paused her eyes at the entrance door and whispered, "Oh that''s sis-in-law¡­" Dion also followed her gaze and saw a familiar face that encircled her arms on Keira''s arm. "Dr. Yao?" Dion whispered. Rizie was startled too. Keira seemed to notice Rizie on the table not far from the entrance and she walked towards there. "Sis," Rizie greeted. "Dr. Yao?" Riz added, looking at the woman who was with Keira. She looked exactly like Dr. Yao except for her hairstyle and color. "Dr. Yao?" Keira mumbled, looking at Rizie with a furrowed forehead. "Her?" Rizie pointed her finger to Dr. Yao whose arm was wrapped on Keira''s. "Oh her? Right you haven''t met my sister Mara. Remember? She''s the one I brought from that isolated island. We kept her on an island with John for quite some time for her immunity¡­ And you know to teach her our ways¡­" The woman who Keira introduced as Mara greeted Dion and Rizie with an extended hand for a hand shake. Dion and Rizie exchanged meaningful gazes with still a dazed look in their expressions. "Hey you two? What''s going on? Who is Dr. Yao?" Keira asked in a row seeing the couple confused and shocked. They stared at Mara then would look at each other then look back at Mara. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

While Ron was cooking dinner, Shan checked out some of the gifts and her eyes widened especially at the monetary gifts cheque in the envelope from her ma''am Yera and boss Xander. The number of zeros were too good to be true. Ron and her were both lucky to be working under such good bosses. The next paper bag she opened was the one Rizie gave her that morning. Shan reddened seeing what Rizie gave her. There were a few different styles and colors of s.e.xy lingeries in it. "What the hell Rizie? There''s no way I''m going to wear this!" she muttered looking at them. She heard the clicking of the doorknob of their room and Shan panicked so she quickly hid lingeries inside the paper bag and put it down on the floor. "What''s happened? Why do you have this look on your face?" Ron asked with knitted eyebrows. "What look" Shan innocently answered with an awkward smile. "Well¡­ The look that I almost caught you doing something bad or naughty?" Ron replied then added, "Dinner is ready¡­" "Oh alright," Shan answered and quickly stood up from the side of the bed but her eyes widened seeing Ron approached her and then checked the paper bag she put down. Her face reddened with embarrassment as Ron pulled what was inside the paper bag. "Oh Rizie gave that. Geez that girl. How can a single woman choose such super s.e.xy lingeries. It''s almost like I''m wearing nothing if I put those on." Shan said with a bit of a stutter, hoping Ron stopped checking it. "Let''s go and have dinner¡­" she added and was about to walk already. Her jaw dropped when Ron suddenly handed her one of the lingeries, the red one. Shan stared at him with rounded questioning eyes. "Wear this one later after dinner¡­" Ron murmured before turning back and headed to the door while he added, "Let''s go and eat first. It will be a long night. You have to recharge..." Shan gulped then pursed her lips. She looked at the red lingerie in disbelief. "Seriously?" She mumbled, cursing Rizie for giving her such too bold designs. She could not imagine herself wearing any one of those at all. Her heart started to recklessly pump out of nervousness once more as she put the lingerie on the bed and hurriedly followed her husband to the dining room to beg him and spare her from wearing those lingeries or maybe she should just wear it and then cover herself with the comforter afterwards? Shan went down in a rush. She should finish eating first and let Ron wash the dishes instead because she would need a lot of time in deciding if she would wear that lingerie. A lot of time and confidence. Shan and Ron had their dinner. "Slowly¡­ You''ll get indigestion if you eat like that." Ron commented because he noticed Shan was having a spoonful of their meal in rows. "Do you need to rush?" Ron asked. ''Yes I need to!'' Shan quietly replied. Ron creased his forehead and waited but Shan already finished her plate without another word. He watched her drink a glass of water before looking at him and said, "I''ll be going up already. Please wash the dishes." Ron nodded and watched his dear wife flee their dining room in a rush. He grinned while his eyes were still from where she left off. He bet his wife was too nervous at that moment. Shan was too shy whenever she would get n.a.k.e.d in front of him, so unlike her when she was drunk and he found it rather enticing about her. He quickly finished his food to follow his wife upstairs and tease her once she wore the lingerie. He was so curious to find out how s.e.xy it would look on Shan. When he went up in their room, Ron furrowed seeing Shan was not yet in the bed. He saw the lights on their bathroom so he grinned at the thought that Shan was still inside it. Shan had been staring at her reflection in the mirror of their shower room for about thirty minutes already. It was a red s.e.xy g-string bow dress lingerie. There were ribbons tied at front that could be easily removed. Her n.i.p.p.l.es were the only area covered by the lace. Never in her wildest dream had she thought that she could ever wear something like this. After gaining more confidence, Shan decided to get out to run on their bed before her husband got inside their room. Besides her legs were already cramping from standing too long. She opened the door still looking at herself thus she did not notice Ron was already sitting on the bedside, waiting for her to come out. "Geez, it''s so chilly¡­" she grumbled before tilting her head up. Her eyes widened seeing Ron was intently staring at her from head to toe. "You''re looking so beautiful and s.e.xy¡­" she heard Ron breathed in his husky voice. Shan turned deep crimson red at that praise and she unconsciously covered her bare rounded b.r.e.a.s.t. Ron stood up and approached her with his burning gaze. "I should thank Rizie, for giving you such an awesome gift." Ron teased as his fingers started to trail on Shan''s arms going up on her shoulders to her collarbone and neck. Shan wondered when would she stoop trembling on her husband''s touches like a naive little girl. She gasped when his fingers started to trail down¡­ "You should wear one of those lingeries each night. Rizie was really thoughtful to gift you an entire week of excitement¡­" Ron whispered. Shan chuckled because she did not even bother to count how many were inside the paper bag like her husband did. ''So there are seven different colors and styles?'' she inwardly thought before it was followed by her soft m.o.a.ns. She wondered how long would this night be? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She still could not believe what happened last night when they accidentally saw Rizie at the same restaurant. That morning, Rizie sent her the profile of a pediatrician named Dr. Candice Yao, who used to work at her cousin Xander''s hospital and Keira couldn''t believe how she looked exactly like Mara. So she decided to go and visit her cousin that early because otherwise the curiosity would kill her. Yera was the one who first greeted them on the door and like Rizie, Yera had the same expression. "Dr. Yao?" Keira heard Yera mutter, totally in shock. "I guess Rizie and Dion did not tell it yet to you guys¡­" Keira mumbled. Yera led them in the living area, still confused about why Dr. Yao was with them, though she could feel something strange about Dr. Yao and she even looked a bit different. When they reached the living room, Keira introduced Mara and explained everything including their accidental meeting with Rizie and Dion last night. "So we want to find this Dr. Yao and have a DNA test done between them, because this is something so unusual..." Keira voiced out including her husband''s intention to talk to Xander about an important detail on the Mirage. They waited for Xander to finish his therapy so Zach could discuss things about the status of the confidential investigation on Yue Clan. Yera could not help but to sneak glances at the woman called Mara who would give her a warm smile whenever their eyes met. She looked exactly as Candice except her smile because Mara had this genuine warm smile on her face while Candice always donned her characteristic devious cunning smile. She was curious to see how her husband would react once he saw Mara. Senior Yang also came down and Keira immediately greeted and hugged her uncle. Senior Yang invited Keira and her company to have tea in the garden while they waited for Xander since the weather was nice. "So auntie¡­ She was from the Yue clan? Oh God¡­" Keira gasped when they talked about the letter they found yesterday. "Yes," confirmed Senior Yang with a downcast tone. He was in a dilemma overnight because of Xander''s life. He had lost his wife already and he did not want to lose Xander like that. He wanted to protect his son to the best he could. "The military held some of the suspected members of the Yue clan, Zach would arrange something so Xander can talk to them¡­" Keira burst, giving a spark of hope for her uncle. "Yes I can arrange it but I think it won''t be safe for Xander." Zach hesitated knowing Xander''s life was now in danger at any given opportunity for the enemy. So he suggested that they pinpoint all they wanted to know and it would be him to ask those people they held captive on behalf of Xander. "No!" Xander exclaimed who suddenly showed up in the garden and happened to hear Zach''s suggestion. "If they are truly from the Yue clan then I should show myself in front of them¡­ Introduce myself to them and personally ask them about the details." Xander firmly answered but paused when his gaze turned at the woman sitting beside Keira. "What the hell is she doing here?" He hissed. The woman stood up to approach him. "Hi¡­ I''m¡­" Mara spoke but paused seeing the awkward reaction from Xander. Keira burst out in laughter witnessing that funny movement from her cousin who quickly ran to his wife''s side and explained, "Darling, I don''t know why she''s here..." He was totally caught off guard and his face went pale at the thought of the reason Dr. Yao was there and how furious his wife could be. He definitely did not want any punishment at that moment from his dear wife. "Cuz stop that. She''s Mara! The one who saved us from that indeginous island¡­" Keira explained laughing. "The one uncle and auntie adopted as your sister? The one who prefered to be n.a.k.e.d than wearing clothes?" Xander asked in disbelief. He had heard about it and even assigned a team of doctors for her but he did not have a chance to meet her during all that time. Mara introduced herself and Xander finally accepted the hand shake? "By the way, I don''t go around n.a.k.e.d anymore¡­" Xander heard Mara talk with a chuckle. "Wow! She even talks now! Such a great progress..." Xander burst. "Of course she''s good at fighting too. She wants to enter the military¡­" Keira boasted. "Wait Dr. Yao was in the news before¡­ When we reopened the hospital and had an event¡­ She and Yera¡­ Uhn I mean there was even an online poll that time comparing them. How come you never saw her? They can be twins..." Xander uttered at Keira. "Cuz, we were so busy at that time that I didn''t even get the chance to watch television and read any newspaper. That''s why we''re here only now because we only found out about it¡­ Arrange a meeting between me and Dr. Yao" Keira responded. During the time of the Yang''s reopening event, they were too busy with cleaning up the mess involving cases of various terrorist attacks not to mention she was nearing due to her pregnancy... They all chatted for such a long time that Senior Yang asked them to stay and join the family for lunch. Zach relayed to Xander the information they got about Mirage and Yue Clan in particular. Xander told him also about Yun, Marcus and Ester that were mentioned in the latter. Xander looked at his father and suggested, "Dad, I think we should show them mom''s letter." Senior Yang nodded and stood up to get the said letter. "It must have been hard for your father¡­" Xander heard Zach comment. "Yeah¡­ it indeed is. Who would have thought that we''d get involved with a crime organization." "Hang in there. I will make sure to help you guys out and look to the bottom of this. Stay strong¡­" Zach encouraged Xander. Xander nodded and said, "Thanks." Xander was aware that even the military was facing difficulty in penetrating The Mirage, but was grateful for any help they could provide him given that it was a personal family matter. "No cousin, this is not just a personal family thing. That clan¡­ is the one responsible for all terrorist attacks in our country so they must be punished! Whoever from them is responsible should be punished!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Why is he not visiting me again?" She asked her nanny. Nanny Shine chuckled and replied, "You one impatient child, didn''t your grandpa say that Dr. Dee is a busy man and is more busy nowadays because the CEO Yang of Yang Globals is not in good shape yet to look after the company. You''re lucky that Dr. Dion Han personally asked Dr. Dee to at least take a look at you..." Cali pouted her lips but no longer asked as she understood it well and clear. She had ideas forming in her head already about how she could be closer to her Mr. Right. "Nanny¡­ I''m thinking¡­" she mumbled while she was embroidering one of her grandpa''s handkerchiefs. "What is it child?" Nanny Shine asked while she poured Cali a tea in her cup. "I will ask grandpa at lunch to help me out about Dr. Dee¡­" Cali whispered. Nanny Shine was shocked and said, "Dear, I thought you don''t like being into an arranged marriage? You wanted to choose the person and fall in love with him, understand him first before marrying right? But you have just met Dr. Dee once¡­" "Yes, but you know that feeling nanny? When you want that person even though you only saw him once. I really saw the spark and felt that impact from his first look only. I know it might not be a good idea but I want to take the risk." Cali shared that nanny Shine exhaled a long sigh. Lunch came and everyone were having a hearty meal in the dining area when Cali coughed and cleared her throat. She then looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, do you have plans for an arranged marriage for me again in the future?" Mr. Lua almost choked on his food and looked at Cali in daze. "Dear why are you bringing up something like that now? I don''t have any more plans, so rest assured that you can choose whoever it is that you love this time. As you wished, I will no longer involve myself in matters of your life especially if it''s something that could make you happy dear." Mr. Lua was startled seeing Cali''s displeased expressions with his answer. Meanwhile, nanny Shine could almost guess what was inside Cali''s head so she interrupted, "Cali my child¡­ Isn''t it too early for that? Why don''t you focus first on your recovery and growing your hair? And decide about things like that later?" Mr. Lua pointed his eyes on Nanny Shine and asked, "What''s going on? Is there something that I''m not aware of?" He felt that nanny Shine knew about it and also that Cali was acting really strange. Cali smiled at Mr Lua and said, "Grandpa¡­ I actually want you to plan an arranged marriage for me. Really this time, it''s okay with me." "Huh?" Mr. Lua breathed. Nanny Shine shook her head and helplessly gave Mr. Lua a troubled look. Mr. Lua was aware of that look so he knew that moment that Cali would ask for something troublesome. It had been awhile, and somehow Mr. Lua was glad that Cali was going back to her normal self. Being troublesome was one of those. "Grandpa¡­ Please ask the family Dee for an arranged marriage for me and Rui¡­" Cali stated that made Mr. Lua''s eyes widened in shock. He did not expect that kind of trouble at all. Mr. Lua looked at nanny Shine, his gaze asking, ''Did I hear that right?'' Nanny Shine answered him with a shrugged shoulders. "Are you sure about this Cali? Don''t you want to enjoy your youth yet? Dr. Dee is many years older than you and he probably is having a fiance or a girlfriend already? Cali it''s not like you to ask for something like this dear..." Mr. Lua remarked, still shocked with what Cali just asked. "He''s still a single man grandpa, so don''t worry. I already asked him that and he said he doesn''t have a girlfriend. I also checked his profile and you will like his family background too¡­ Well, it''s okay for us not to marry yet but can you help me so I can at least get engaged with him? He''s getting old and I heard his family is pushing him on various blind dates already¡­ Before he got to meet more women, it''s best if he got engaged with me this instant." Mr. Lua heard his granddaughter reasoned. He felt his head spinning at that moment with how in a rush his granddaughter sounded when not long ago she was bashing the arranged marriage thing. "Please grandpa help me? You know I have to keep my pride and not offer myself to him like I''m desperate or something¡­ So let''s plan it such that I can be engaged to him in an instant while it will look like it was not me who had asked for it¡­" Cali excitedly stated. Mr. Lua did not know what to say. Instead he looked at nanny Shine and asked, "What is Rui''s initial assessment on her again?" "Grandpa!" Nanny Shine and Mr. Lua were both startled by that loud reaction. "I''m totally sane okay. I''m not crazy and I''m not joking at all. I found him to be the man I want to marry¡­ So please help me out just this once¡­" Cali insisted. "Dear, you sound so desperate to me¡­" Mr. Lua whispered. "What if you found out you don''t like his character Cali? What if he''s not a good person?" Nanny Shine suddenly mumbled. Cali gave her an accusing stare and said, "That''s why let us first plan for an engagement where we can get to know each other more. The most important thing at this rate is that I need to secure him for myself as soon as possible¡­" Mr. Lua and Nanny Shine both exchanged helpless gazes while Cali was grinning. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"He''s working hard to be physically fit as soon as possible. I can see his frustration in getting back to those who are responsible for ruining your freedom¡­" Senior Yang couldn''t help but comment. Yera sighed¡­ She too knew that. Xander was trying his best to practice his calm and clear thinking in any way possible and she truly admired him for that. "He seems to be in a hurry to go to Plumeria Island." Senior Yang noticed. Yera chuckled and said, "Yes father¡­ I think he needs that¡­ They have planned a safe route for us. No one knows we are going there except for a handful of our trusted people, so I believe everything will go smoothly." Yera and Xander were soon to leave to go to Plumeria Island the same day when Lyndon''s verdict would be out. Though they did not often see each other, she was always in contact with the Kens who were making sure if she was doing fine wherever she was. Arya and Ryu would be visiting Yera at Yang mansion by the evening since she couldn''t find time to visit them after Xander met the accident. Xander walked towards them after he was done and Yera grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat off her husband''s body. "Dr. CEO will no longer need me¡­ He can do basic exercises on his own already," Xander''s therapist acknowledged as he prepared his things to leave while he reminded Xander about things he should remember as he performed certain exercises on his own. The therapist already left and Senior Yang smiled at the couple who were being sweet to each other. He stood up from his seat and said, "I''m gonna leave you two behind. I have to finalize my trip to country V." "Dad¡­ I told you that you don''t need to do it. I will soon get fit and arrange the meeting myself," Xander reiterated pertaining to the matter on meeting up Ester Chang, her mother''s auntie who they said was residing in country V. He was not comfortable with his father getting involved in the matter. "It''s a good thing that they are not planning to attack you since you don''t have the Yue clan blood but if they found out that you''ve been trying to pry on their business¡­ they won''t have a second thought in silencing you too dad." Xander burst. Senior Yang gently put his hands on his son''s shoulders and squeezed it. "Son, dad is old enough now. I''ve already been living for too long now and death no longer scares me. Do you know what scares me? It''s your life being on the brink of death¡­ That was my greatest fear son so please let your father do this little thing for protecting you as my son¡­" Senior Yang said in his low voice as it began to stutter. Yera''s tears suddenly fell seeing the downcast face of her father-in-law who''s eyes were starting to well up and tears started rolling down his cheeks as he continued, "Your father failed to protect your mother and do you know how hard it was for me then? It''s still painful, son whenever I think of your mother who helplessly died because I was useless¡­ So please¡­ let me become useful this time around huh?" Senior Yang now held Xander''s face in his palms, cupping it like he did when Xander was a small kid¡­"Let your father do something for his beloved son¡­" Xander''s tears fell and he hugged his father tightly that instant. Yera too was sobbing witnessing the heartbreaking moment between the father and son. "Dad¡­ Why are you making me cry? It''s bad for my brain¡­" Xander jested. "You brat¡­ You started it by scolding your father and insisting me to stay put and do nothing¡­." Senior Yang countered. Then he added, "You shouldn''t get worried about me that much you know. You know that for me death is not something to be scared of¡­" "I know that. But please make sure that you''ll keep yourself safe at least. Don''t you want to see your grandchildren and play with them?" Xander mumbled. Senior Yang slowly pushed his sadness away and grinned, "Well I want to of course so I will be careful. Besides, Dion will make sure I''m safe there. His family will protect me, he said including the Quan clan." This time it was Xander who gave his father a teasing grin as he mumbled, "Of course, I forgot, aunt Liz will definitely make sure you''re safe. I bet she will even block bullets on your behalf¡­" "Tsk! Stop saying nonsense you brat." Senior Yang scolded. "But that''s true dad. I bet she will do that. Well since you will stay in their house why don''t you play around you know mix mission with pleasure¡­" Xander continued to tease. Yera chuckled seeing her father-in-law reddened in embarrassment so she pinched her husband and said, "Stop teasing father already and go change. Arya and Ryu will arrive anytime soon¡­" "Father, I''ll pull this bully now away from you," Yera murmured to her father-in-law before pulling Xander out of his fitness room. "Dad, think about it¡­ While you stay there please try to enjoy it that way I will be at ease and don''t you dare cheat on me because I will surely find out if you somehow just ¡­" Xander continued to tease while being pulled out by Yera. Senior yang shook his head as he watched his son and daughter-in-law leave the room. "Kanya look at how playful your son is¡­ Selling out his father like that¡­" he mumbled. Xander was still not that fit to visit country V especially when he did not know what was installed for him there. It would be best and less suspicious if he would be the one to go. He sighed because it was his decision. He would be the best, the right person to go¡­ They had bothered Rui and Dion enough with their family matters and he wanted to play his part as the head of the family properly now. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Every once in a while she brought food for Lyndon and they would have some good casual talks mostly on the books she provided that he was currently reading.Today, she wanted to cheer Lyndon up because tomorrow would be a crucial day for him as his verdict would be announced."You look good now." Jam commented seeing Lyndon was gaining his weight back. His face also was bright now."Yes¡­ all thanks to you. The meals helped me a lot so my appetite has returned to normal too." Lyndon addressed, eyes glinted. Jam was helping him a lot to cope up in his current situation, it had come to the point that he was already looking forward to her next visit even before she left."I guess you''ve been busy lately," Lyndon commented because Jam would often visit him every other day but this week, it was only twice.Jam smiled as she handed the lunchbox she prepared for Lyndon. "Yes, it''s because I was experiencing some contractions so the doctor advised me to rest. Here. I brought you many sweets this time as compensation.'''' Jam tittered with a wink.Lyndon unconsciously blushed at that gesture. ''What''s wrong with me?'' he thought as his gaze could not leave Jam''s face. Her pregnancy made her look way prettier. She was also gaining weight that he thought made her look more cute."How are you now? You should rest more. It''s okay not to visit¡­" He suddenly breathed at the thought that Jam could be compromised and their baby if she would travel often."I''m good now. The doctor said it''s fine. Don''t worry, I follow the doctor''s order. If she said No then I won''t force it¡­ I''m no longer as stubborn as I was before." Jam boasted."How are they?" Lyndon asked. He knew what happened to Xander and Jam was keeping him updated."Xander is doing good now. Yera operated on him so that''s a given¡­ But they say Xander is still not going out from the mansion and Yera too." Jam relayed the details she got from her doctor."By the way, have you thought of a name?"Lyndon shook his head. Jam had asked him to think of a good name for their baby, both for a boy and a girl but he couldn''t think of anything at all."Well we still have plenty of time to think about it." Jam smiled. Sadness suddenly clouded Lyndon''s feature so Jam asked, What''s wrong? You look down."Yes, Lyndon was feeling down at the thought of him getting transferred into a far away prison once the verdict was out. It would be hard for Jam to travel by then and he would not wish that too."Nothing¡­ Just in case I''ll be transferred to a way farther prison please don''t bother to visit me. It won''t be good for you and our child¡­" Lyndon specified, but his heart was speaking otherwise.Jam pursed her lips. It was true that she was not allowed to travel that far."Hmm, how about this¡­ I will still cook for you and just have my helper bring it to you if in case they transfer you to any prison that is far from here, but I hope they just put you at the most near prison in the Capital City," Jam subconsciously reassured Lyndon. There were no prisons at Capital City but only detention centers for those who stood for trials. Once convicted, they transferred them outside the Capital City."That would be good enough Jam. Thank you¡­" Lyndon muttered but his expressions were giving Jam a vibe that he still had something else to say. "Do you wanna say something?" Lyndon looked at her and sighed. "What''s that? Are you okay Lyndon?" she asked, now looking worried.She saw Lyndon sighing again before he met her gaze. "Jam, I''m not really sure what I''m feeling right now. But I hope to serve my punishment soon¡­ And in case, just in case that you are still available by then, I would like to start a new life with you and our baby."Lyndon knew he was being shameless for saying such a thing but he had this urge to voice his feelings to Jam. He couldn''t name his feelings yet at that moment but he was sure that he wanted to start a new life with Jam and their baby if he would be given that chance.Jam bit her lip as tears started to roll down in her eyes. Those words were like music to her ears. She was happy enough to hear them because she couldn''t hide the fact that her feelings for Lyndon were still the same. That was the reason why she was fighting hard to keep their baby healthy because her baby was the only remembrance she could have that would remind her of her passionate night with the man she long loved.She was speechless as tears continuously kept falling down her eyes.Lyndon felt nervous hearing no response from Jam but her cries seemed to be giving him positive feedback though it pained him seeing her cry."Please¡­ Jam don''t cry. It won''t be good for you and our baby. I fully understand if you decide to forget about me, but I do hope that at least I could share the responsibility as a father to our child."Jam wiped her tears and stared at Lyndon before saying, "Of course¡­ I will let you take responsibility and I''m willing to wait for you with our child, so you better be good and serve your sentence very fast¡­"Lyndon''s eyes rounded and burst out, "Thank you! Jam thank you so much¡­" He grabbed Jam''s hands on the table and held it tighter¡­"''I guess happy endings is also possible to the people who are willing to change their life for the better¡­" Jam thought as she and Lyndon exchanged loving stares. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"This bully¡­ If I were Cali, I will no longer want to see your face ever again!" Rizie mumbled, getting frustrated with her twin brother. "What''s wrong? What''s with that fuming face of your''s?" Dion asked while he arranged the lunch boxes that Rizie''s assistant bought for them. Rizie and him would often eat lunch inside his office like this. He knew Rizie was referring to his twin brother so he wondered what it was this time. "Well that Josh keeps asking me when are we going to visit Cali again. Doesn''t he know that Cali didn''t want to see us also only because of him? Why is he so insensitive? I bet he will just get friendzoned again, this time by Cali." Rizie specified. She was too irritated with Josh'' style when he was obviously interested in Cali. "Riz, some guys are like that. Bullying is their one way to get noticed by the woman they like." Dion explained and handed her the chop sticks. "Of course I know that¡­ He''s my twin brother and most of the time I can read what''s going on in his mind and I know what he''s feeling. Just that urghhhh¡­" Rizie grumbled because she was too frustrated with the fact that her twin brother seemed to be the unluckiest man on earth. Dion chuckled seeing Rizie''s grumpy face. "Let Josh be for now, Rizie. Men don''t have an expiry unlike women so don''t rush him. I''m sure he will have a good relationship with the right woman and at the right time." Dion explained and started digging in their food. He paused when he felt the intense stare from his girlfriend. Rizie was narrowing her eyes while smiling broadly. "What?" Dion asked and suddenly felt conscious. He licked his lips at the thought he had some smudge or something. "Nah, if you have smudge I''ll wipe it clean with my lips," Rizie teased, still grinning at him. "What then?" he asked with a demented look. Rizie gasped for air before saying, "Nothing¡­ Just that I feel so lucky. They say in between twins one is lucky in some things and unlucky in certain things. Josh seems to be lucky in his career and business. I''m just too glad that I''m the one who seems to be lucky when it comes to love. My man is not just handsome, Intelligent, capable and wealthy but is also a very broadminded person." Dion was totally fl.u.s.tered that his face and ears became totally red... "Look at you. I like how you blush like that so¡­" Before Rizie could finish her words, Dion suddenly pounced at her pushing her on the couch, causing her to lay on her back and him being on top of her. Dion was quick in capturing her lips, silencing her with his grateful kisses for her praises. "Stop! We are in the office!" Rizie muttered when Dion''s kisses went down on her neck, giving her little hickeys. "It''s your fault for making my heart jump out of joy like this." Dion whispered. He calmed himself and returned back to his seat when he realized that their door was not locked. "Should we lock the door next time?" Dion mumbled, trying to focus his attention on their lunch instead but somehow he was having the urge to eat his playful girlfriend alive right then. "Stop that, Grace will become suspicious. Let''s not make a rumor or a scandal in the workplace okay? Maybe once we''re married we can do that." Rizie giggled at her own words. "Anyway, it''s sad that Cali is no longer accepting visitors. I actually messaged her and she said she will hang out only once her hair grows a little." Rizie commented, getting back to the topic they left off before being playful. "Rui can visit her anytime though. I heard Cali had been asking for him often." Dion nonchalantly mentioned recalling Rui had personally mentioned the same to him yesterday. "What? Why? Because of the psychological checking. But didn''t Dr, Dee say that Cali is perfectly fine psychologically?" Rizie asked in a row. Her radar was being hyperactive at that moment as she felt something unusual. "I know that look¡­ Let Cali be and don''t disturb her anymore Riz." Dion scolded because he was sure Rizie would contact Cali to check something. "But you know how curiosity kills me most of the time." Rizie stubbornly disposed. "Don''t worry you will not die. How about you just focus on helping out bro Xander for his surprise? Remember the date is getting nearer, I wonder if you have already achieved something." Dion teased. "Well I''m a very reliable person so even though I have a lot of work to do I will make sure they are all perfectly done so don''t worry. Oh gosh I feel so excited." Rizie was giddy as she thought of Yera''s reaction when the time came. "We have to move carefully and make sure everything is confidential though. By the way how is the arrangement of Xander and Yera''s transfer at Plumeria Island going?" Dion asked. It was Keira''s husband who would handle Xander and Yera''s transportation in next two days. "Stop worrying okay? Sis and Bro are in good hands. Geez military plus the Kens security not to mention that Xander would have his own people¡­ Only those who want to die on the spot would dare touch them there." Rizie assured. She herself was confident about it. Yue Clan? Powerful? Well, they sure are but their weakness was getting exposed so they would not make a drastic move in that island or their whole clan would get down for real. "Rizie¡­ At this point of time, we can''t afford to even blink." Dion specified. "Yes, I know¡­ So don''t worry¡­ No one would definitely even blink alright." Rizie responded with a wink. She could get where Dion was coming from but she did not want Dion to worry too much too because it would affect his health especially now that the responsibilities he was carrying were too heavy. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera and Xander got ready to witness everything. The couple was escorted in tight security from the Yang mansion up to the venue. "Nervous?" Xander asked while they were inside the armored car. "No¡­ I''m excited actually. It''s our first time to go out and be on a private island." Yera gushed with a wink. Xander chuckled and said, "I guess I''m really contagious¡­ I love it when I see you loosening up like that¡­ Winking¡­ Clingy¡­ Sweet-mouthed¡­ I should give you more such ideas often so you can copy me anytime¡­" Yera gave him a make-face next and Xander grinned ear to ear seeing her cuteness. After a few minutes, Yera curiously mumbled, "I wonder if Jam will be here too. I haven''t asked her doctor about her health this morning¡­" Yera was actually aware that Jam was constantly visiting Lyndon and she was grateful that Jam stayed with him. Yera somehow felt empathy for Lyndon because she believed that while they were engaged, Lyndon had genuine feelings for her. He did not want to harm her but still because of his reckless move she got in trouble and in the end every wrongdoings had its consequences. She knew Lyndon was a very good man at heart. They arrived at the court in time in very tight security. They immediately caught the attention of the media seeing the uniformed military-men escorting the couple. There were almost all media houses present to cover this high profile case verdict, at the court. Rumors had been circling that the successor of Life Hospitals and Yang Globals were already in a relationship, but none of the two had confirmed it yet. No one, not even any of the reporters could get near Xander and Yera how much ever they tried. It was Xander''s assistant Ron who was answering all the questions they had for the two outside the courtroom. "We are implementing tight security for our CEO at this point because we received some intelligence that all the accidents he had been into were intentional and directed towards him. Someone wants our CEO dead." Ron stated the incidents on Xander they considered as intentional to the media. Many gasped, hearing that. "You mean the collapse of the Dami Bridge too...? It doesn''t make sense at all. Many people died in that incident..." one of the reporters who was in shock insinuated. "Yes, but we have to wait for the final result of the investigation. Though it was initially reported as an accident. Our group contradicts that and we will legally get to clarify the point very soon. It''s a suspected terrorist attack and the military in connection with our government''s crime unit and investigation are closely working together to get to the bottom of this. But one thing is for sure, whatever happens to our CEO at this point will not be considered as an accident. Someone will have to pay for it¡­" Ron firmly stated. Before Ron left the media, he added, "We will get in the media as soon as we have a confirmed report on the situation so we strongly request for your cooperation for not invading the privacy of the couple, our CEO Xander Yang and Dr. Yera Han. That''s all. Thank you." The reporters were mumbling, "He said ''couple'' right? So it is really confirmed that the successors of the two competing hospital chains are currently in a relationship." Ron sighed and entered the courtroom. His Boss'' Xander personally wanted to announce his marriage with Yera and he had set a specific date for that to be done in an extravagant way and everything will be telecast live for the entire city to witness along with his wife. Inside the courtroom, Yera saw Jam on the other side who gave her a half smile and nodded. She could sense that Jam was feeling awkward in greeting her because all along she was bowing her head, trying her best not to meet her eyes. Jam looked good and had gained more weight. The doctor she assigned was updating her about Jam''s health too and she was grateful that her condition was already good. "Liam said, the minimum years Lyndon could have at prison is five years¡­" Xander whispered into Yera''s ear who nodded. Yera looked at Liam who was the attorney representing their side. The lawyer laughed at her when she asked him to help Lyndon get the most light punishment he could. Liam told her that she was the most generous client towards her perpetrator he had ever had in his entire life of being a lawyer, asking for a lighter sentence for the accused. Her gaze shifted to her husband who was now listening as the proceedings started. She was glad Xander was supporting her in every decision she made. He did not question her at all while he heard her request that she made to Liam about Lyndon''s trial. Yera couldn''t help but ask him, "I thought you want him to pay for everything in a severe way¡­ How come you didn''t disagree when I asked Liam to make sure Lyndon gets the lightest sentence possible?" Yera felt Xander lovingly squeezed her hand he was holding and muttered, "I realized that I owe Lyndon a lot¡­ So agreeing with you is the least thing I could do to show him mercy." "Huh?" Yera did not get him. Xander had a grin on his face and whispered, "Darling, if not because of Lyndon''s stupidity¡­ We would still be enemies for sure at this point of time. You see if he did not happen to do what he did, then I wouldn''t have had the chance to be with you like this. But of course, I''m not saying I''m happy about the trauma that you experienced because of that but the fact remains that his actions gave way for me to meet you and be with you as your husband in this lifetime. I think that''s called fate, right! Things always happen for a reason¡­" Yera gave her husband an agreeing smile. Yes, though she never told Xander this but, if given a chance to change her life, again, Yera would not change anything at all. She was willing to experience the same circ.u.mstances knowing that at the end of the road, those rocky roads throughout her journey would lead her way to Xander Yang. A sigh of contentment followed Yera''s beautiful smile. No matter what¡­ She was his¡­ And he was hers... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rui was chairing a board meeting when he heard his mobile phone vibrate several times. When the meeting ended he grabbed it from his suit pocket to check. [Dr. Dee, I think I''m having emotional distress¡­ Do you think you can visit me? To be honest, I''m feeling a bit better whenever I talk to you. It''s comforting listening to you...] [Boredom is killing me. Is that normal?] [I wanna go out but I don''t want anyone to see me bald¡­] [*Sigh Emoji* I guess you''re busy..] [You gave me your number and told me I can contact you anytime¡­ haha anyway I will leave you alone now since it seems you''re busy¡­] Rui tapped his fingers on the desk while his eyes narrowed while still staring at his mobile phone. "Doc?" he heard his secretary called for him since he was the only one left in the meeting room. Rui nozzled his lips before murmuring, "Jean, I smell trouble. What do you think I should do? Shall I run away and avoid it? Or shall I ignore it?" Jean laughed and responded, "How about you face it this time Doc? Aren''t you tired of running? I think you''ve ran enough ever since I met you¡­ don''t you feel it''s now time to slow down?" Rui chuckled at his loyal secretary who was like a second mother to him. "Well I will heed your advice this time¡­ So it will be your fault, Jean, if I end up in a pit of mud." Jean smiled and answered, "I''m always on your back Doc. You grew up so well and are the best psychiatrist in the country so I''m sure you''ll be fine. You''re the type of person who could make a pit of mud turn into a pit of fresh water." Rui stood up from his seat. "Geez, you look too high on me." he mumbled, while he stretched his waist. "Ahh, I wonder how long I will need to sit for a meeting like that. I hate sitting for too long. I should break Xander''s neck next time I see him." Rui complained as he walked outside the room. Secretary Jean laughed and shook her head as she followed him from behind. When they were about to enter Rui''s clinic. Rui suddenly paused so Jean bumped into his back. "Geez Doc." Jean breathed. Rui turned around and asked, "Do I have patients waiting or any appointments today?" "There''s one Doc for Dr. Dion Han." Jean quickly answered. Rui was silent for quite some time as if thinking hard. Jean observed him with a creased forehead waiting for what he would say next. "Yes doc?" she encouraged seeing the conflicted look on his face. Rui exhaled loudly and said, "Inform Dion that I cancelled it. I will also call him later and see if I can just see him during dinner." "Where are you going Doc?" Jean asked. "I will just check on that patient Cali Lua and visit her at her home." Rui simply answered before leaving Jean alone that instant. "Is that the trouble Doc was saying about?" Jean whispered as she entered the clinic. Rui was like a son to her. She knew the man very well ever since he was a kid because she was an assistant to his father''s secretary. She got closer to him when she was assigned to monitor his training in handling their family''s pharmaceutical business. Rui had it tough in blending well in his family so she became his second mother, according to him, because she understood him a lot. That was why Rui always made sure that she was there wherever he was, thus she became his personal assistant and secretary. ... At Lua''s Residence Nanny Shine shook her head as she watched Cali heave another long sigh while reading a book in the balcony of her room. She herself could not concentrate on what she was reading too, hearing those sighs every now and then from her child. Then she heard Cali speak, "Nanny Shine, no reply yet?" Nanny Shine immediately grabbed Cali''s mobile phone on the table to look. "None yet Cali. We didn''t hear the message notification sound." she stated. "How about I read the message from your slave instead?" Nanny Rong heeded. Cali''s face crumpled and said, "Please change his name into bullyman. Why would I want to read it when he is always bullying me. I''m sure he will just keep on saying - grow your hair soon I can''t bear to watch that skinhead¡­-" Nanny Shine laughed at that and immediately paused seeing the tapering of Cali''s eyes. "Sorry, but that''s funny dear. I think he was just trying to make you laugh or actually what he meant by that was that you should get well soon¡­" she explained, trying not to giggle. Cali twitched her mouth and muttered, "I don''t find it funny nanny. He''s just a born bully. Anyway, I wonder if grandpa already checked if he can make the arrangements for Dee Family?" "Dear, I think your grandpa is not comfortable about it. He heard that Dee Family was a little complicated one. He fears you. I think Dr. Dee himself is still having a tough time staying in that family¡­" Nanny Shine explained based on the comments she heard from Old Master Lua. Nanny Shine suddenly saw Cali plastered a sweet smile on her red lips. ''Her child was really pretty¡­'' she thought inwardly. Then she heard Cali say, "He''s here Nanny Shine¡­ I don''t mind him not bothering with a reply if he shows up like this, surprising me making my heart bounce hard against my chest. Why would he need a tough time staying in that kind of family¡­ when I can be his family, he could stay with me at ease..." Nanny Shine''s jaw dropped while staring at Cali in disbelief. Then she looked down where Cali was looking at and saw Dr. Dee was walking in with one of their maids inside the mansion. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera could see the apologetic look in him whenever their eyes met. They did not stay long and Yera with Xander left the premises as soon as the verdict was read. Yera wrapped herself in a shawl and put shades on her face while Xander also donned a different look by wearing his shades and a cap on his head that hid his face upto great extent, before stepping out of the courtroom. Some reporters were still standing outside for any sensational scoop but could still not go anywhere near the couple because of the tight security. One of the reporters shook her head and commented as she watched the couple walking towards the elevator, "I wonder who is trying to kill the CEO of Yang Globals to make them walk under such tight security. I am sure, this is someone very powerful too." Yera and Xander waited for the elevator to open that would lead them to the bas.e.m.e.nt parking. The elevator was reserved for them and as soon as it was opened, another couple with the same build and exactly the same outfits like Yera and Xander were seen standing inside. Yera and Xander quickly went in while Ron was left behind to attend to the media. "Wow Zach is too good, really very meticulous and pretty scheming, thinking about getting people that look exactly like us, means our body doubles to distract the enemy is a very well thought out plan." Xander couldn''t help but whisper to Yera. Both Xander and Yera were feeling awkward but they agreed that this was the best way to make sure no one would know their final destination in case they were being spied on. The cars were already in line as the group left the elevator to head to the caravan of the cars and exited the building. The first couple went inside the first car and left then followed the other couple... Zach made sure that the set-up was perfect enough to confuse the enemy, in case they were being spied upon or had bad motives at that time for Xander and Yera. The same type, color and model of cars were used by Xander and Yera as well as the couple that was impersonating them exiting the building and hitting on the road. Each car then went to different places like returning at Yang mansion, one at Han mansion, one at Yang hospital, one at life hospital and one to the military headquarters. Meanwhile as soon as Xander and Yera were secured inside their car, Ralf reported to Zach, "We are now heading to the military headquarters." Yera could hear the conversation with the security team. On their sides, front and back were what looked like common cabs and private cars but they were all part of the security team in disguise, assigned to them. From the military headquarters, Yera and Xander would embark on a military helicopter arranged by Zach that would drop the couple off at Plumeria Island. All the movements by them were very precise and closely monitored. Xander and Yera could hear occasional voices from Ralf''s radio confirming that roads were all cordoned off and being cleared for their convoy. Xander heard his wife exclaim in surprise. She was uneasy. He held Yera''s hand and kissed it to make her feel normal. Yera looked at him and smiled at his comforting gesture. Their gaze met and one look for them was enough to understand each other in silence. Both of them were hoping that traveling like this should pass soon¡­ "Today, I understand my cousin better¡­ Why she hated being a Field Marshal''s daughter and disliked having such a lot of bodyguards around her¡­" Xander whispered to Yera referring to Keira. He remembered how his ears almost burst out at those times when Keira would rant at him. Now he knew how bothersome it was not to travel like normal people did. "Yeah, this is quite bothersome I guess if it becomes a routine," Yera commented and Xander could only nod in silent agreement. They finally arrived inside the military headquarters and the couple were escorted into the helicopter that would bring them to Plumeria Island. Zach couldn''t just take any risk at all and had prepared five helicopters that would fly out at the same time and one of them had the couple inside. It took them an hour and a half, reaching Ryu Ken''s private island. Just the scene while approaching from above was too breathtaking and a picture-perfect deserted islands surrounded by aquamarine water dotted across the ocean, before suddenly mountains appeared on the horizon and a lush green island came into view, fringed by golden stretches of sand. Yera unconsciously squeezed her husband''s hand as she anticipated going aground already and sank herself deep into the alluring waters¡­"Finally beach¡­" she murmured. She was confident she and Xander would enjoy their stay there. The helicopter landed on the helipad and the couple was escorted to the four by four ranger where Ryu''s right hand man introduced himself to them as Regan. Xander sighed as they settled inside the car. Regan heard that and turned to look at Xander who was in the back seat with Yera. "You don''t have to worry here Sir because I can assure you that the security we have here is not just tight but we are laced with the latest and modern facilities on the island." Regan reassured with a smile. Xander nodded. Even before planning their stay at the island, the first thing they enquired from Ryu was the brand of electronics they were using on the island., afraid that Yue group could be their distributor of all the cameras and monitors including other inconspicuous things. They were relieved to find out that Ryu was using a local electronics company from their own country and not the ones from Yue group. Unfortunately, both Life Hospitals and Yang Globals group had purchased various electronic devices that were under Yue group subsidiaries so Yera and Xander had to then dispose off everything they had installed from the Yue group that belonged to the category of communications or transmittals, that could give any way for the Yue clan to spy on them. But they still kept instruments and machines that were only used for medical matters because those were undoubtedly the best worldwide. Dion said that Chad mentioned about trying to arrange a meeting on pretext of doing business with them, but it turned out that Yue group had already done that a long time ago in both hospital chains, making sure their devices were implanted inside both of the hospitals. No wonder it was easy for them to plant bombs inside Yang Globals despite their tight and modernized technologies and securities. Xander cursed inwardly! They could not do a thing before because they did not know that he had an enemy in the first place. They were focussed on Yera as the only target but it was him all along instead. Now that he had a confirmed sight of his enemy¡­ He would make sure to bring them all down! ''If the Yue clan is formidable, so am I, Xander Yang. Afterall, I carry the same blood¡­'' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Ron''s statement in the media had become a wide talk in the country. It was a good thing that the King was still not awake so he could still put all that news down or else it would be his demise. He cursed when he came to know that they were tricked. His group followed the couple inconspicuously but then got distracted because there were the doubles¡­ including the cars and the one his group ended up following was the one who stopped at Han Mansion. He somehow knew it was not confirmed that Xander was inside that mansion. "That bastard must be out there somewhere after tricking us like this!" he whispered as he waited for the reports from his people out for the search. "Should I just bomb up the Han and Yang mansion to bring you out?" he irritatingly voiced out to himself while he stared on the news being reported at the television. Suddenly, he was interrupted by loud resounding clapping of hands. Sitting in the living area of Yue''s mansion, he could hear the sound coming closer. He did not need to turn around or guess who it was because he surely knew it was his bi*chy niece. "Well done uncle. Really... Are you proud of your great achievements? I won''t be surprised if we heard the word Y-U-E next in the news don''t you think? You wanna get famous I must guess..." Raine nonchalantly commented as she sat on the couch and began to lick on her ice cream cone. "Why? Do you have any better ideas to deal with him? And what are you doing here anyway?! You''re supposed to handle the rescue operation of some of our people held captive by the military¡­ But it seems like you have no plans to do so!" Yun jeered. He hated that mocking look on the face of that bi*ch. "Relax¡­ Let those idiots stay there a little longer. I recently realized that they deserved that bit of punishment. They should learn their lesson for failing in their mission! Those lousy bastards¡­ I''m still thinking if I should rescue them or just eliminate those losers for good." Raine mumbled at her uncle followed by a wink on his face. "By the way, don''t you want any help? I have better plans in my mind for eliminating him¡­ You have tried so many times yet you always failed, so I thought you might need the support of my helping hands." Yun heard Raine remarked. He gritted his teeth. One day, he would be the one to kill the bi&ch, if not only because of his brother who favored the little devil too much, she wouldn''t be alive today. ''Enjoy your days bi*ch while it lasts because you''ll be thrown out soon once we''re done using you!'' he mused while he gave her a deadly glare. "Tsk¡­. tsk¡­ What''s with that look? You want my ice cream uncle? I can ask someone to give you one but... Oldies shouldn''t eat a lot of sweets because it can make your life shorter." Raine chortled, enjoying how her uncle was unsuccessfully controlling his fury. Then with a mocking smirk, she added, "Back about you needing my help. You know I''m willing to help you too, because that''s what families should always do, help each other. Don''t you think? But of course, to make me agree to it, you have to beg me for it uncle¡­" Yun abruptly stood up with a dark face to leave his crazy niece alone before he lost control and broke her neck that instant. Tyron had witnessed that. He shook his head, everything seemed to be getting out of hand. "Come and sit beside me. Don''t just watch from there¡­" he heard Raine speak so he immediately obeyed. The Princess had a good instinct. Well she was literally good at everything. "We lost contact so tell me¡­ Do you have good news at this point? I want to find out where the mice are hiding. Father would wake up soon..." Raine muttered. "Nothing yet Raine. But I don''t feel good about this. You shouldn''t bother with your uncle. Why do you keep meddling in his works? Let him handle it. Being on his bad side like this i.." Tyron''s words were cut off suddenly when he felt a cold sensation on his lips, the ice cream smear hit his mouth. "Oops¡­ Sorry Tyron. My hands slipped." he heard Raine whisper. Tyron sighed and was about to wipe the smeared ice cream on his mouth away when Raine stopped his arm. "What¡­" Tyron mumbled, his body froze while he looked at Raine who perched on his lap and held his neck with her pair of hands, making it hard for him to breathe. "If I hear you question me again on whatever it is I''m doing, I will make sure to kick your ass out from my sight, and wipe you out entirely from this world. If you want to last long, make sure you just follow my orders!" Tyron heard Raine echo in his ear. He coughed when she let his neck go. Raine''s fingers swept past his lips wiping off the ice cream from his face. Then Raine licked her fingers and winked at him. "You know I hate wasting sweets.." Raine mumbled before jumping out from his lap and left him flabbergasted. Tyron closed his eyes, being the right hand man of that Yue Clan Princess was a pain in the ass, a pure torture! He got up quickly and saw the ice cream cone on the floor. ''How can she waste her sweets like this?'' he annoyingly mused as he helplessly picked it up. He should start working his ass off in tracking down Xander''s whereabouts because Raine strongly believed that he was out of his mansion at this point of time, but staying and hiding somewhere else. Thus, it was a great opportunity to kill the man. He must find him first before Yun''s team. The King would wake up soon and everyone was almost running out of time. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Senior Yang was invited too for the occasion since he was a close friend of the groom. "Days passed by too fast¡­ So many weddings happened and very soon ours will follow. Why does it feel too long for our wedding schedule." Dion commented, eyes focused on the road. "Yes, too long... oh by the way everything is ready. I''m so excited to visit sis and bro on that island." Rizie responded. In two days time they would follow and travel to Plumeria Island too. Dion chuckled and said, "Hey, we''re not going there for a vacation. We will also leave early from there, don''t get too excited." Rizie''s face crumpled because she almost forgot that they would not stay there for too long. "Hmm, well a day on the beach won''t be too bad. I''m sure sis will be heavily surprised. I''m so so excited." "When will uncle James travel to your country?" Rizie suddenly recalled to ask. "Hmm right after the event. He said he will fly to country V immediately. Chad is arranging a confidential meeting for him with Ester Jiang. So it''s best he stays there to wait just in case the opportunity comes up. It''s hard to get a hold of any of the members of the Yue clan so uncle James should be the one waiting for the appointment and be available." Dion explained. They hoped that Ester Jiang, Xander''s mother''s aunt, could help in their situation. "Anyway let''s talk about our plans¡­ You will move at Han mansion very soon as future Mrs. Han. I was thinking if you should quit your job and start teaching your assistant about your work. What do you think of being a complete housewife?" Dion suggested. He would be glad to free Rizie from hard work and obligations at Life Hospitals group and focus on being a housewife and soon to be a mother but of course he would want to hear her opinion first and follow whatever it was that she wanted. Rizie remained quiet for some time before saying, "I don''t know yet, but for now I would prefer to stay with you often like I do now. I''m honestly enjoying my work because I''m able to help you and remain with you most of the time. I feel so useful to you that way. Can we talk about it later I mean maybe after we''re married or have children? Because right now the only place I want to stay is right there with you, go wherever you are, regardless if it''s work or not." Then Rizie cringed and complained, "Gosh, I hate it. I sound so clingy! Never did I imagine I will sound like this too¡­" "But...I love it¡­" Dion commented with a grin and laughed as he recalled how Rzie''s sister said that Rizie would always complain about sweet nothings and words and actions she would hear or see from her siblings while in a relationship. "Why are you laughing?" Rizie asked with pouty lips. "Nothing just recalling how you were a grump before whenever you saw couples in your family." Dion answered. Rizie did not comment because her family teased her a lot for that in Dion''s presence. "Well I never thought that being in a relationship is this good. But of course it''s even better because I have been blessed being with someone like you¡­" Rizie timidly whispered. Dion grabbed her hand and kissed it. He felt the same way for Rizie. ...¡­... At Ron''s Residence¡­ Shan was very happy whenever it was weekend because she could spend a whole day with her husband then, a whole day of quality time together. The two of them could actually file a leave to go out of town or out of the country for their honeymoon but they decided to delay it. They couldn''t just leave the company as when their bosses wanted to enjoy their honeymoon. This time was too crucial to go to a far away place. She squealed recalling her husband''s words, ''their home is one of the most exciting honeymoon places among all for them because the place did not matter much but the company that they have, the person they got to spend their time together.'' But of course the two of them were also planning for a trip once everything was over and the company was stable especially at Yang Globals. Shan picked up their laundry in the room and went down to put it in the machine. She set the timer and went into the living room where her husband was cleaning. Her husband was really an efficient and organized person. He did not have a helper at all and was only living on his own doing all the household chores. ''Well now he has me to help him out¡­'' she mused. She immediately ran to him and hugged him from behind. Ron chuckled and said, "I''m almost done here. Why do I have a feeling that you''re asking to get locked up upstairs?" Shan giggled and said, "You''re so dirty minded. I just wanted to hug you because you were looking too adorable holding that vacuum cleaner. You''re such a jack of all trades. I''m so lucky. Can we have lunch ready soon?" Ron turned around and dropped what he was holding to carry his wife on his shoulder like a sack of grain. "Hey what are you doing? Put me down." Shan burst out still giggling. She felt Ron spanked her buttocks while he walked upstairs toward their room. "It''s your fault¡­ You distracted me so¡­" Ron hanged the words. Ron put her down on the bed and continued, "I think it''s best we stay inside our room the whole day instead." "But we have to do house cleaning today. You''re messing up our schedule." Shan commented while staring blindly at her husband who was now undressing before her. They did have a schedule to organize things like assigned dates for cooking, washing the dishes, washing the clothes and house cleaning stuff. Shan did not know whether she should laugh or cry when her husband paused and looked at the lower part of his body with an obvious bulging so Shan muttered, "Come here. Forget the schedule¡­ We''re not at work anymore so we can play around." That instant Ron removed the last piece of his clothes and pounced on his wife to rain her with kisses. Shan really loved weekends¡­ When Ron and her were both fully charged like this. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

The scene of the waves of blue waters and the morning breeze that touched her skin seemed too good to be true. They''ve been locked up inside the mansion for too long after the accident and enjoying a gorgeous beach view like this one was really heartwarming. "Come on, let''s go and take a walk on the beach," Xander suggested. Yera nodded in excitement. Yesterday they just stayed inside the mansion to rest because she was afraid that Xander would get too exhausted after the court verdict and then travel. She wanted to take every step cautiously The couple went out and walked hand in hand towards the beach. "Today father will go to attend the wedding at Lim''s villa right?" Yera recalled because Rizie gave them the invitation but unfortunately, their schedule to travel at Plumeria Island was already finalized and moreover Zach has instructed that they should not travel back unless there was an emergency. "Yeah. See, that''s what I''m saying. Rizie''s mom accepted another love in her life. It is nice to have someone by your side as you grow old. So I hope that dad would also accept aunt Liz and decide to move on. Aunt Liz has the opportunity while dad stays at their place, I believe she should take that time as an opportunity and make my dad fall for her or at least accept her love." Xander commented as he walked near the waters. "Don''t push father too much. I''m sure he knows what''s best for him so let''s just support him in whatever he chooses in the end¡­" Yera pointed out and Xander no longer commented. "The sun is shining brightly," Xander sang as he watched his wife walk past him and play with the clear waters of the beach with her feet. "Do you want to swim darling?" Xander asked. Yera with a playful grin on her face, answered her husband by kicking and splashing some water towards him. "You¡­" Xander babbled with wide eyes because the water splashed on his clothes making him wet. That instant, he grabbed his wife''s waist and pulled her to dip her in the water. They played just like kids splashing each other with seawater, rolled in the sand, dipping in water, shouting and screaming and in between all the fun would hug and kiss each other every now and then. They were having fun of their life, in each other''s company. Yera dragged herself ashore laughing and panting and sat on the sand. She watched Xander approaching her and he sat on her back encircling her waist with his hands, hugging her tightly from behind. "No wonder my cousin Keira also bought a private island recently." Xander whispered in Yera''s ear. His warm breath on her skin felt so warm. Keira''s island was another option for them to stay, however the security level there was not as high as in Ryu''s island not to mention the high tech facilities, so Zach decided and everyone agreed on using Plumeria Island as their hideout instead. "I should buy a private island too¡­ What do you think?" another whisper from her husband but this time it was more sensual because Xander was now biting her earlobe, sending jolts of electricity throughout her body. Since that last time, when she had to silence Xander''s thoughts, Yera did not allow Xander to have his way with her at all, afraid that his progress in recuperating perfectly would get affected. "Is it the cold or is it the magic of my touch¡­" Xander whispered when he felt the goosebumps on the skin of Yera. Yera chuckled and turned around to face him. With her arms encircling his neck she simply answered, "Secret." "I Promise I would be gentle." Xander reassured her because he wanted to dominate their love making this time instead of allowing his wife to perform on top of him like last time. Instead of answering her husband with words, Yera stood up and lent her hand to Xander to help him get up. Xander took her indication and caught her hand and got up to walk back to the mansion hand in hand. Yera was grinning as they headed back to their room. She said, "Today I will be lenient with you, my darling husband. You can have your way with me, all that you want but tomorrow you will have to rest the whole day¡­" "How about the other days? Darling I''m perfectly fit now. You worry too much. It''s supposed to be our honeymoon," Xander complained. "Don''t be grumpy okay. We''ll see. I''ll decide about that in the following days. Okay?" Yera teased. Xander no longer said a word but quickly pulled his wife inside the room. ........... At Lim''s Villa "I really envy you my sister," Senior Yang whispered to Mrs. Chan who was sitting beside him at the reception area of the wedding ceremony at Lim''s villa. Mrs. Chan chuckled and added more salt by saying, "Yeah two grandchildren in one chance. Xander can''t beat that I guess." Seeing the disheartened look on her brother''s face, Mrs. Chan added, "But who knows? Be patient big bro. Aren''t those two on their honeymoon these days? I''m sure good news will follow soon so don''t fret. You know they say if you''re desperate for something pray hard for it. Prayers can move mountains¡­" Senior Yang let out a long sigh as he looked at Keira and Zach each of them held one twin in their arms. Those babies were truly adorable and too cute. He wondered if his first grandchild would be a girl or a boy. Oh just the thought and the excitement was already killing him. He could not help but grab his phone to send a cheering message for his son who was on a trip with his wife. [Work hard son and bring home the bacon¡­] Xander who saw that text message from his father on the other hand scratched his head as he grinned. His mischievous cousin was probably teasing his father once more and making the old man jealous with her adorable twins. "Darling¡­ I received a message from my father. He wants a grandchild when we go back. We need to do another round," Xander relayed while he waited on the bed because Yera had gone into the restroom. Yera finally came out of the restroom and said, "Tell him you''ve been working really hard, and that the only time I am able to take rest is when I take a break to pee¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Everyone greeted the newly wed, drank with them, took pictures and danced too. Dion and Rizie went back on their table after their picture was taken. Eyes both on Rizie''s mother and her groom who looked so loving and very happy. "Yeah. There are no age restrictions in love, I''m sure your mom will have her happy ending too like my mom." Rizie teased with eyes directed at Senior Yang who was chatting with Keira and Zach at another table. Dion laughed. It was not in his character to meddle with his mother''s personal life. He just supported his mother for whatever she wanted to do, like how his mother always supported him since his childhood. He liked uncle James too, but of course it would all depend on the two of them. Though, he never stopped reminding his mother not to expect anything from uncle James, because he was aware how uncle James loved his late wife. "I bet Auntie is anticipating uncle''s arrival and preparing a good stay for him." Rizie added, still grinning. She was hopeful that aunt Liz could use this opportunity to her advantage. She rooted for the two. She knew uncle James had a very deep love for his late wife, but the fact that she was already dead remains. So she believed uncle Yang should try to open up himself for a new love, someone who he could be with, someone whom he could grow old together with. "Stop that and let the elders handle serious matters themselves. Focus on our wedding instead..." Dion murmured on Rizie''s ear. He wanted to change the topic. "That tickles," Rizie giggled, feeling Dion''s lips slightly kissed her ear. Everything had been arranged already and yet Dion kept on reminding her about it so she teased, "you''re too excited about our wedding. I told you, stop worrying I got everything under control. All you need to do is wear your suite on that day okay?" Dion laughed and pulled Rizie into her embrace. "Hmm, tomorrow, there will be another wedding ceremony to witness¡­ Of course I can''t wait for our turn to tie the knot." "You two! Too many PDAs," they heard Josh''s voice so Dion paused his words and suddenly straightened on his seat, letting Rizzie go. Rizie twitched her mouth and muttered, "Why can''t you mind your own business?" "Wow! I should have thrown the same thing to you before." Josh scorned, recalling how Rizie would get sour whenever there were couples acting sweet in the villa like Lyra, him or Zach. Rizie sighed and countered, "Josh stop being sulky and start to change your approach on Cali instead¡­" Josh''s forehead puckered as he whispered, "What does Cali have to do with asking you to watch you stuffing us with PDA?" "You like Cali right? I think she''s getting closer to Dr Rui Dee. Well you haven''t met Dr. Dee but he is a mature man, not so childish like you. He is the type that any woman will dream of to settle with and have a family. Unlike you, who likes bullying and joking around always. There are times when jokes are nice too, but you must learn not to go beyond the line and be flexible so that the girl will take you seriously¡­" Rizie scolded but stopped seeing the downcast mood of her brother. "Sorry¡­ It''s just that I''m worried¡­" Rizie continued. Josh sighed and plainly answered, "Stop it already Rizie and just focus on your own life will you? You''re getting married soon so focus on being a good wife instead." That instant Josh left. Rizie looked at Dion who patted her shoulder and said, "Let your brother be Riz. He''s old enough to know what he is doing¡­ That''s his character and it won''t be good if he changes how he is just for someone to like him. Let him find someone who will accept whoever he is. He''s still young¡­ Man don''t expire Rizie. How many times do I have to remind you of that? He still has a lot of time in his hands..." Rizie pursed her lips as she realized how tactless she had been and how mean she was to her twin. But it was because she felt frustrated watching her twin fail several times in love. "Go and reconcile with your brother Riz. Do you want me to clean the barn before we leave tonight?" Dion with a twisted face commented. Rizie laughed and asked, "Why are you following his orders when you can just ignore him." "Of course, I want to get his approval and besides I want to get close to your family. So please help me out and go now cheer your twin so he is easy on me later?" Dion pleaded. Josh was nice to him and would not let him do hard work whenever Rizie would not bother Josh. But whenever Rizie would piss off Josh, Dion always ended up inside the barn. Rizie rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Alright." Then she stood up and left Dion alone to catch her twin brother. Senior Yang saw Dion alone on his seat so he walked towards him. "Zach said the helicopters are ready. We will leave once it is dark¡­ I called Xander and it looks like the couple are enjoying themselves on the island." "My sister will be surprised when she sees us in the morning." Dion commented. They were all going to attend another wedding ceremony tomorrow. His brother-in-law''s surprise ceremony for his sister. He smiled recalling how his jealous brother-in-law could not let them have their wedding ceremony before his sister. So Xander prepared it as a surprise for Yera and it was going to be held at Plumeria Island with just a few guests, only the very close family and friends of Xander and Yera would be a witness to it tomorrow. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Then she chuckled recalling the night she and her playful husband shared together. She slowly opened her eyes. Sun rays were beaming inside their room. She pouted her lips seeingXander was no longer on the bed but instead there was a rectangle box behind her. Yera''s eyes widened and she quickly sat up on the bed to check the note stuck on top of the box. [Nah¡­ Don''t open this yet! First, eat your breakfast on the bedside table and have a shower then open the box and get ready¡­ I am waiting for you downstairs.] A line appeared between Yera''s perfect brows thinking what her dear husband had been up to now. But then curiosity was killing her, so she immediately grabbed the tray of food and dug in. Afterwards, she took a quick shower and had her hair blown dried by a blower. "Are we going to have an early morning date?" she voiced out seeing the beautiful dress in white inside the box. Her heart started to beat fast as she realized that the dress looked more like a beach wedding dress than a casual one. But then she grinned thinking that she and Xander were the only ones present on the island at that moment, so a wedding was not possible. Maybe her naughty husband wanted to try something new? Yera, instead of thinking too much, started to wear the ivory soft tulle off-the-shoulder dress that fitted her perfectly, partnered by a flat comfortable sandal that she could wear and walk comfortably on the sand. Yera smiled at her reflection on the mirror. She looked so fresh and natural with her hair down and a bit messy. She applied a light make-up and lipstick before walking out of their room. Her eyes rounded and she felt touched when she saw white petals on the floor as if serving as a pathway, guiding her where she should walk to. "Wow! What kind of lovely surprise is this?" she mumbled as her heart kept on drumming in her ribcage because of excitement and anticipation. She suddenly stopped in her tracks when she saw Arya, Denise and Rita sitting in the living room as if they were waiting for her. "What are you all doing here?" Arya smiled and got up on seeing her there and reached out to her with her open arms and hugged Yera. Then she took out a diamond necklace and put it on her neck. "Your husband wants you to wear this dear. You look so stunning in this dress." Arya said after taking a good look at her. Yera was confused and stared dumbfoundedly at her. "But¡­ this¡­ why¡­!!!" Before she could find words to speak, Denise came forward and opened another small jewellery box and put earrings on her both ears and said, "These will add glory to your already pretty face." Yera could just stare at them and fiddled with words in her mind¡­ Before she could utter another sound from her mouth Rita reached upto her and put on a dazzling bracelet on her arm. Yera was completely lost in all that was happening, amazed at the exquisite pieces of jewellery they put on her one by one. Each piece of jewellery was made in diamonds, glistening and sparkling inside the room, making already pretty Yera look all the more beautiful. "Yes, and Xander said... diamonds are forever... like his love for you is FOREVER." Rita even cringed as she said the words. Yera''s husband was too sweet. "Ants will start crawling here soon if we will keep standing here... so better follow the petals now and don''t ask us what''s going on." Denise said grinning so Yera proceeded to walk and followed the petals on the floor. "What''s going on?" Yera still asked. Arya, Rita and Denise only gave her a smile and both said, "Follow the petals..." The petals lead outside and Yera saw Dion next. "What are you doing here?" she gasped. "Since when did you arrive?" She asked next but Dion only gave him a grin and said, "Hey, can''t you notice the bouquet I have for you to hold and guess? These flowers are sword lilies also known as Gladioli sis." Dion handed her the bridal bouquet and added, "Bro wants you to hold this because he said these flowers symbolize strength and integrity, just like how strong you are¡­" Dion signaled her to wrap her arms on his as they walked. "I, your brother, will now bring you my dear sis, to you impatient husband who has been waiting since long for this moment." Dion said grinning. The rhythmic sounds of ocean waves filled Yera''s ears as she walked on the path shown by the petals. The weather felt perfect, not too hot or cold. She then heard a sweet heart strumming music playing not so far, blending with the sounds of the ocean waves. Yera kept walking, with every step she took, it became more clear what was happening and just as she felt, she could see they were headed into a perfectly arranged beach wedding set up prepared by her husband as a surprise for her. She started to tear up when Dion left her halfway, where she was about to walk towards Xander who was waiting for her on the aisle. Her eyes never left his. Her husband looked so handsome in his simple white shirt and grey pants. His bright smile was too lovely. She laughed seeing her husband grab his father''s handkerchief to wipe the tears that were starting to fall out from his eyes. Yera saw Rui, Rizie, Keira and Zach were there too. Only the closest friends and family were present around. She saw Gavin also who seemed to be broadcasting the wedding live. Yera was hugged by her father-in-law as soon as she reached the aisle. "My child¡­ My daughter¡­ I''m very grateful that you came into our family especially into my son''s life. Thank you for staying with him and loving him so dearly. This is quite a delay but¡­" "Father please¡­ This is more than enough for me. Just adding the name Yang in mine is more than enough for me. Being your daughter and Xander''s wife is happiness overloaded for me father." Yera interrupted. Then Xander held Yera''s hands and they both faced the wedding officiant who was about to begin with the ceremony. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

But when the part of the couple to say their wedding vows arrived, Yera complained to Xander in a jest, "This is unfair¡­ I''m not prepared." Their guests laughed including Xander because of how cute her darling wife was at the moment. "Just saying you will only love me and you will stay by my side forever will be enough darling," Xander suggested without caring whether their guests were hearing him. Another series of laughs were heard from their few guests and of course from the people who were watching on their television sets at that moment. Xander smiled and held Yera''s hand to give her another wedding ring with a huge solitare surrounded by many small blue sapphires in her other hand. Xander looked into her eyes and said, "In struggle and success, in fight and make up, I will always be there to love and grow old with you. Knowing there are still trials along our way, rough roads along our journey¡­ I will always be by your side and will always love you for the rest of my life¡­" Yera inhaled and exhaled loudly before putting the ring on Xander''s finger. She gave her husband a sweet and loving smile before saying, "Your deep, bright and clear eyes gave me the courage to take the world head on. In your arms, I feel safe and secure. I love you Xander Yang. You are my home darling and I definitely want to stay in this home forever." "Ooww!!! That''s so sweet!!" Rizie who was among the guests could not help but comment. Tears were rolling down her cheeks so Dion gave her his handkerchief. "Will you give me a sweeter vow than sis later?" Dion teased. Rizie giggled and playfully whispered, "How about a sweeter and wilder action in our wedding night..." "Alright, I will count more on it. Nevermind the vow. I prefer sweeter and wilder action on our wedding night." Dion excitedly hummed. "You two¡­ since when did you become so mean. Talking so vulgar in my face as if I''m not even sitting beside you guys!" Rui complained while Dion and Rizie both laughed. "You¡­ you are both intentionally doing this to me!" Rui whined and added, "How come all the invited guests are couples here? It''s only me who is single and am alone! I hate Xander and Yera. I should have not come at all!" Rui whimpered. Dion laughed and said, "Stop whining. You were the groom''s bestman so you had to be present." Rizie teased more by saying, "Dr. Dee¡­ How about catching sis'' bridal bouquet later? You know the saying that you''ll get married next once you catch it?" "Stop Riz, how can he get married when our friend here doesn''t even have a bride¡­ How about I ask one of the ghosts that I can see to be his bride or be his date today?" Rui''s face crumpled as he scoffed, "How about I just ask Yera to hand me the bouquet since I''m the only single person in here? You can keep your ghost friends with you..." "Ah ah¡­ Uncle Yang is still there to compete with you on the bouquet catching! So no!" Rizie burst. Dion almost died laughing because of that. Meanwhile, back with the couple at the aisle, Xander wanted to kiss and hug his wife at that moment but controlled himself because it was his turn to give his vow. Xander cleared his throat before saying in a jest, "I thought you''re not prepared darling. How come your wedding vow sounds so good¡­" "Because it comes from my heart," Yera whispered but was heard by the guests too since the microphone was clipped in her dress. That instant, without even waiting for the wedding officiant''s signal, Xander swept his wife in his arms and gave her a heartwarming and breathtaking loving kiss in front of everyone who graced them with a round of applause and whistling. Everyone gathered around to take a picture as they all congratulated the couple. Keira watched as Gavin led the coverage of the wedding live at Cooper''s network. The guests'' faces were blurred in the live telecast, except for the bride, the groom, Senior Yang and Dion, no one else could be recognised. Xander had requested for a live telecast because he wanted the whole world to formally know that Yera was his legally wedded wife. Keira had especially requested Gavin to handle the particular event. Everything was confidential and their transportation was secured by Zach. They chose only a few members in the crew to accompany Gavin, only those Keira knew could be trusted. "You surprise me darling. I never thought that this will be possible in our current situation," Yera whispered as they proceeded at the reception hall for celebration. "Your brother is going to get married soon. How could I let him do it first? I''ve been wanting to give you a grand wedding desperately but we have to be careful. You deserve a wedding ceremony darling if not only.." Xander was unable to continue because his wife already silenced her with a kiss. ........ Meanwhile, people both at Yang Globals group and Life Hospitals group were too shocked as they watched the live telecast of the wedding between the Yangs and Hans. "It is an exquisite beach wedding right? Where do you think they held it? Dr. Yera looks so pretty in her dress. Too bad no one is invited from among us," Dr. Rio from Yang Globals commented with a sour face. Dr. Gong laughed hearing that and said, "Don''t worry I heard assistant Ron has arranged something for us all to celebrate the wedding with them even if we are not present. I bet the same goes at Life Hospitals group too¡­" "Wow that''s so considerate of our Dr. CEO¡­ We should also understand that his life is in danger, maybe that''s why everything happened so suddenly and seems to be secretly prepared. Didn''t you watch the news? Everything that happened to our Dr. CEO was not a mere accident but a plot to kill him." Shaira commented and the others nodded in agreement. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Get me Dalgon now!" he shouted, his veins almost popping out on his neck. "How dare that bastard outwit me!" he was furious, cursing hard at the man, who was smiling ear to ear in front of him as he exchanged vows with the woman in front of him. He couldn''t believe that Xander Yang had the nerve to trick them. He was sure his bitchy niece was laughing at him right now! He thought Xander went back inside the mansion but it turned out that they had been played! Dalgon arrived and stood in front of him. The remote of the TV flew on his face. "They are doing a live telecast of their wedding! How come none of you were able to find out about all this! Go now, search for him. Search every single place with a beach! Prioritize all the people close to that bastard¡­ and the properties of all his closest friends and relatives!" Yun shouted, reverberating the living area with his anger. He was surrounded by a bunch of idiots. He didn''t see this coming. Xander was out in the open, a good opportunity to kill him! The clock was ticking and again many hours had been wasted. Raine watched her uncle stomping in madness from the first floor. "Tsk¡­ He''s too old already. I wonder why he''s still as healthy as a bull? Usually those who have bad anger management like that, often end up having a stroke. Or perhaps, it''s my uncle''s vitamins that in the contrary gives him more lives to live." Raine hated her family. She thought that why was it that theirs were the only clan as messed up and as complicated as this, where everyone wanted the other''s life to end. "Weeds don''t easily die Raine¡­" Tyron, who was also watching beside her, whispered. Rain chuckled and asked, "So are you saying that I too will live longer?" "Probably because bad people live longer." Tyron straightforwardly answered. Raine smirked at that. "We''ll see then, how long I will last¡­" "Don''t worry¡­ No matter what happens, I''ll always stay by your side." Tyron murmured. Raine flinched and quickly changed the topic by saying, "You see what''s wrong with him Tyron? He only instructed his men to look for the bastard''s side and not to dig in his wife''s side more. I bet they will select a less suspicious place to hide. He should have instructed them to look into Yera''s side more. Perhaps it''s a sign of aging. His brain and tactics are becoming rusty as he gets older. Not that I''m complaining because I know it''s an advantage for me." "I have already found out where they are. I''m just checking out all options to quietly penetrate the place." Tyron murmured. "Good. That''s why I''m not kicking you out yet. You''re quite useful to me Tyron. Always remember that if you become useless to me¡­ You no longer have a purpose¡­ I don''t have to stress out what will happen to you right? I don''t like to keep useless things and the same applies to people. I see people as mere things." Raine muttered before she turned her head to give him a flash of her cunning smile. Tyron hated those kinds of smiles from her. He let out a long deep sigh as he watched Raine leave. "Yes, I perfectly understand. I can no longer stay by your side if I become useless..." Tyron whispered as sadness swam in his eyes. So no matter what happens, he should stay useful at her at all times. He was well aware of it. Tyron turned around and looked at Yun whose wrath was falling like fire on all his men. He knew, sooner or later Yun would find out the place too because Dalgon had the capacity to do so, though he is not as smart and as quick as Tyron was. The couple was at Plumeria Island, Ryu Ken''s island. It was a very well guarded place and it would not be easy to penetrate the security of that island. He had an idea to do it and make it possible, but it would be too dangerous and could be considered as pure suicide so he needed to think of a more safe way for Raine to enter the island. Yun would soon think of some ways for Xander to come out from where he was hiding if he became more desperate. If not only for Raine who often slapped the possible dire consequences on his face, he would have made a bold move already like hurting people close to Xander and Yera to make them come out wherever they were hiding. Raine went back inside her room. She sat on the couch and restlessly leaned back and rested her head on the headrest, staring unblinkingly at the ceiling. She was in deep thought, she c.o.c.ked her neck and stared at Xander''s photo on her board. Xander Yang was her enemy that she should eliminate, but she was stalling time to do so. She was indeed contemplating killing the man. Probably because she was envious of him. He had the freedom she could not afford to have. Xander was living in a world she wanted for herself to live, but couldn''t afford to. He practically had everything that she wanted. She raised her arms and watched her hands above. Her hands were stained with blood. No matter how many times she washed it, the blood still remained in her eyes. The smell of blood had been haunting her since the day her mind grained. She wondered if she could ever escape the smell and sight of the blood. Frustration crept into her heart again. A few more seconds passed and she picked a knife and threw it. It landed exactly where she had aimed it and pierced straight on the photo. "Should I kill you?" she mumbled with a heavy sigh. If Xander would not be able to solve the puzzle in time... "Should I wait more?" Raine whispered as she threw another knife on the board. Her father would wake up soon and if by then Xander was still unable to get through in getting her uncle down... Then his blood would be hers to spill... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

LOLS - It''s Shan and Ron.] Ron and Shan watched the wedding telecast live on their television at home. Both wanted to physically witness the event but it was decided that it would be best that they stay in the Capital City. Shan heaved a sigh as she forked an apple perfectly cut by her husband for her as dessert. "Too bad we did not see this in person. I bet that island is too good to be true. My ma''am Yera is looking so stunning and so in love. Look at their smiles¡­ so lovely." Shan dreamily exclaimed. Ron noted how his wife was so engrossed in watching the ceremony. Commenting on every single detail that she noticed about the wedding like Yera''s wedding dress and the nice arrangement of flowers on the venue. Ron suddenly felt guilty for rushing Shan into marrying him without any ceremony, so he murmured, "I''m sorry." Shan was startled by that and swiveled at Ron who was sitting beside her on the couch. "Did you do something bad?" she asked, puzzled why would her husband all of a sudden apologize. Ron''s eyes darted at her as he explained, "About our wedding ceremony. Ours will be very much delayed." "Better late than never. Hehehe. Look at how delayed our bosses wedding ceremony had been too. Anyway, it really doesn''t matter even if we won''t proceed with a ceremony. What matters is that we have already registered our marriage and we''re together like this." Shan declared with a smile. Ron did not respond but in his mind it still mattered because he wanted to give Shan an extravagant wedding ceremony too, just that this time was not the appropriate time. Ron felt Shan''s lips brushed onto his. "A penny for your thoughts?" Shan whispered as she made an inch distance between her face and Ron. "Hmm, I love you¡­" Ron whispered instead. He did not want to promise anything to Shan but would prefer to just surprise his wife with actions like what his Boss did to Madame Yera but of course not as grand as his Boss since the diamonds he gave to madame itself already cost a fortune. Ron''s eyes blazed with desire seeing the slightly opened lips of his wife who was lovingly staring at him. Before he could drown himself in those lips, his wife already captured his lips, sucking on them hungrily like she was starved from it. Ron could feel the thunder striking his whole body as Shan continued to devour his lips and pushed him to make him lie down with his back on the sofa. Her kiss was making him feel drunk, with her tongue dwelling deep inside his mouth challenging him for a sword fight of their tongues. ''Who wouldn''t want to hurry in registering their marriage to get the certificate first, before doing a wedding ceremony, when you could often have this kind of love making for a lifetime with your partner, the woman you love? He groaned when he felt Shan''s hand traveling inside his shirt pulling it up to undress him. Ron watched with dilated pupils while his wife undressed herself. He remembered at first his wife was so shy, but now she was no longer as bashful as before so he teased her, "How come you''re no longer batting an eye as you parade your n.a.k.e.dness before me?" Shan blushed and chuckled as she pulled Ron''s boxer shorts. "Why should I when you have already seen and kissed every part of my body. You only said you have already memorized all my moles and even counted how many I have." Ron groaned as the electric sensation ran through every part of his body when Shan started to caress his manhood. It felt great, being grabbed and tugged by Shan''s soft palms and hands. Shan bit her lips hearing her husband m.o.a.n as she began to gently rub his already hard shaft. She was feeling aroused just by hearing her husband call out her name in his hoarse voice. He cried in ecstasy when she lowered her head and began to playfully lick its tip, trailing its length with her tongue. Ron unconsciously grabbed his wife''s hair as he lost control and started to meet Shan''s mouth''s rhythm sucking in and out of his length. Shan abruptly stopped and sat on Ron''s lap when she felt that Ron was near his climax. She had his shaft enter her already dripping cave and dug herself as deep as she could. Both of them m.o.a.ned as Shan started her movements, riding her husband hard and as deep as she could. Ron watched Shan''s b.r.e.a.s.ts bounce and he raised his hands and cupped them in his palms, gently squeezing their roundness then pinching her round peaks once in a while. He controlled his release as much as he could so his wife could reach her climax first. Ron slightly bent forward to reach out for Shan''s peaks with his mouth. He stuck out his tongue to lick each n.i.p.p.l.e alternately then sucked and fed on them upto his heart content, making them sore and looking more protruded. Shan was m.o.a.ning hard as her speed accelerated in riding her husband back and forth, twirling and consuming his full length deeper in her cave. Ron''s playful tongue nibbling on her n.i.p.p.l.es was making her go crazy and she cried out loud as her body jolted before him. She was still trembling while her juices watered Ron''s still hard shaft that was now continuously thrusting in her. A few more deep and faster thrust, Ron reached his climax too, spilling all his seeds inside his wife. "I love you too¡­" Shan whispered at Ron''s ear, still panting and shivering with her second orgasm. She hugged Ron as tight as she could and whispered, "Don''t think too much about holding the wedding ceremony for me. You should know by now that I''m just a simple person who wants a simple life and a loving complete big family of my own. Let''s focus more in building up and making our own family." Ron kissed Shan and nodded. "We have to do more love making to achieve that goal of having a big family," Ron whispered and Shan felt her husband''s length was growing bigger once more¡­" Shan chuckled and began to kiss him instead. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

This was no longer televised live but was still recorded by Gavin''s team for a special telecast later. Everyone enjoyed the scrumptious meals. The room was filled with freshly cooked seafood and various other dishes cooked by Ken''s exclusive chefs in the island resort that truly satisfied the tastes of the guests. Yera, who was not a foodie, ate a lot too. While the guests were having a dessert, Rui hosted the program with games and activities prepared by Rizie and Dion for the guests, including the bride and groom to enjoy. One of the favorite games during the weddings was the shoe game for the couple where Yera and Xander seated back to back in front of their guests. Each of them had one of their shoes and one of their partners and one would hold up one of the shoes to answer the questions to be given by Rui. Rizie was curious to find out more about the love story between Xander and Yera so she wrote a lot of questions for the couple. Rui shook his head as his eyes focused on the paper he was holding. "This questionnaire must have been prepared by a gossip monger seeing there''s a lot written in it. Rizie, I heard this game should be at approximately fifteen minutes only but seeing you have a lot of questions in here I''m afraid it would take us an hou¡­" "Shut up Rui and start asking the questions¡­" Xander complained. "See how impatient the groom is to get out from his guests and be alone with his wife," Rui mumbled with a twisted face that made the guests laugh. "Alright, I will now begin¡­ Raise the shoe of your answer." Rui reminded the couple. "First question is who said I love you first?" Xander and Yera both raised Xander''s shoe. "Okay next question. Who made the first move?" Both raised Xander''s shoes. Rui chuckled as he commented, "This question is too easy because we all know Xander stalked Yera for days." Another laugh from the crowd seeing Xander had a gesture of throwing his shoe at Rui. "For those of you who are watching this right now. Let''s all not judge our groom with his actions but understand our groom because he had just recovered from a brain surgery¡­" Rui laughed but quickly countered his words that he was only joking and he and the groom were always like that with each other. "We show love to the other like this only," Rui added with a wink. Rui''s forehead creased seeing the next question as he said, "Rizie for real? You really wanna know who has better handwriting? You know they are both doctors so both their writings sucks for sure!" Yera laughed at that because it was true. Her and Xander''s handwriting were both very ugly. "Oh I like this question. Who is the better dancer?" Rui asked next. Yera and Xander both raised his shoe.. Rui laughed and approached Yera to ask, "Tell us Yera¡­ How is Xander a better dancer? I''m really curious to find out what kind of dance he does and what type of music he''s good at because I never saw him dance since we are young." Yera blushed and timidly answered, "Strip dance." The crowd laughed so hard hearing that. Rui''s eyes rounded so he subconsciously muttered, "Can we have a sample of that dance?" Xander laughed out hard and proudly announced, "Sorry to disappoint you guys but those kinds of dance are for the eyes of my wife only. Next question please." "Who dresses better?" Rui simply asked. Both agreed it was Xander. "You look so proud Dr. CEO by raising your arm with your shoe so high," Rui scoffed. "Who initiated the first kiss? I''m not surprised seeing it was Xander. Rizie how come you don''t add hard questions here like who has poor hygiene? Who is the best CEO? Who snores at night? Who farts often?" "Rui just get on with what''s listed there, time is clicking." Xander complained. Rui twitched his mouth and replied, "This impatient groom! Alright who says I love you more?" Yera and Xander raised his shoe. "Hmm, I personally was not surprised with it. Xander loves being vocal guys so much so that he even says ''I love you'' to me whenever he''s in a good mood. And trust me guys, he''s always in a good mood." Rui nonchalantly commented. Xander threw his other shoe at Rui who dodged it quickly. Yera and the guests laughed at the two friends bantering. "Whose phone battery always has more charge?" Both raised for Xander that made Rui laugh. "That''s what a henpecked husband would do. Don''t you all agree with me, all the husbands out there? I''m sure you will die in the hands of your wives once you say you have a low battery in the phone especially when the wife''s call can''t get through." Rui remarked and most of the husbands among the guests hooted in agreement. "We are proud to be a henpecked husband!" Dean Ken even shouted that made everyone laugh out hard while his wife reddened and gave a timid smile. "Who is more likely to be running late?" Rui asked next. "Oh no raising of hands because both of them are punctual I must say." Rui commented as he proceeded to the next question. "Who is the better cook?" Yera blushed and raised Xander''s shoes. "Wow¡­ Our dear Xander is a perfect house husband." Rui jested. "Oh I like this one. Who got the best grades in school?" Both raised Yera''s shoes. "Well that one is expected," Rui snorted. "What do you mean by that? I have good grades too, you know just that I don''t take school that seri¡­" Xander explained and Rui interrupted, "Yeah yeah¡­ we all know that you rarely became serious your whole life." Most of the people who knew Xander laughed at that because it was true. Dr. CEO Yang was always bubbly and an easy going person. "Who do you love more than anyone in the world?" Rui asked last and the couple both raised the shoe of one another, Yera raised her husband''s shoe and Xander raised his wife''s shoe. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Senior Yang hugged the couple and whispered to his son, "I will expect good results from your honeymoon here." Xander grinned because his father was back to being his alarm clock, he might as well not disappoint him. "I should expect good results to add to your stay in country V. Have a safe trip dad and remember to also enjoy your stay there." Xander countered, enjoying the embarrassment of his father. Yera elbowed him and scolded, "Stop teasing father." Yera waved as soon as Senior Yang left to head in the car and bring him to the private airport. He would travel directly to country V. The Kens were about to leave too. Yera looked at the adorable couples and thanked them for all their support and help. "We are so glad that you have found your happiness dear. Please do not hesitate if you need help Yera. We heard Xander''s life is in danger so Ryu made sure that this place is secured well. If you tell us everything we can arrange more help in finding out who is behind all this." Old Master Ken stated. Yera shook her head and said, "Keeping us safe here is more than enough. We will take care of the rest grandpa." Yera then looked at Stephen and smiled. He had a great life now with his wife and everything went well for him. She was not used to calling him with his new name though because it was too long. The Kens decided to change his name and give him an entirely new identity to make him start anew. Yera could not simply bother them anymore and put anyone of them in danger by involving them in the Mirage. The family deserved the peace they had now and getting involved in Xander''s case would destroy that peace, because as high and mighty as their all connections were, Mirage was not a simple matter to get involved with at all. She strongly believed that they could handle everything with the help of the military alone. Yera waved goodbye as the Kens left. "You did great." Xander whispered in her ear and hugged her from behind. He too would not want to involve any more innocent people in this matter. It just so happened that Zach had a connection because the military was already investigating the terrorist attacks that were connected to the triad that was eventually linked to him. "Let''s go darling, Gavin is waiting¡­" her husband murmured and Yera nodded. Xander and her have planned an exclusive interview with Gavin in which everything about the repeated attacks on Xander would be disclosed. The motive of the attackers and the reason why Xander was their target, along with the evidence they had will all be shown in it. Cooper network would release the said interview only if the situation became worse, as exposing the Yue clan would put them in trouble according to their own laws. While Gavin meticulously prepared appropriate questions for the expose, and when Yera and Xander sat down they very swiftly were able to present the evidence they had confirming everything was not an accident¡­ Mirage and the three Clans were mentioned in that interview with little bit details of their whereabouts too and the letter from Xander''s mom was shown. Keira would keep the copy of the said interview as well as Dion, Rui and Yera herself. "Can I also have a copy," Gavin asked once the interview was over and his request startled the group present. "And why?" Keira chanted. Gavin smiled and said, "You know I''m about to write my next novel and I got inspired with your cousin''s story. Besides, it''s better that at least someone except the family members or close friends must also keep a copy, just in case..." "In that case then you can keep a copy but it might put your life in danger if the Yue Clan or Mirage triad finds out that there''s a video that could jeopardize the triad. You see they are very strict about maintaining their privacy¡­" Xander commented. Gavin laughed and said, "How would they know? We are the only ones who know about this. I will surely seal my lips because I still want to live long¡­" "Alright then you can have a copy." Xander agreed. Keira heaved a long sigh and snorted, "Hopefully we won''t need to release this video. I just hope this ends soon so you two can be at peace¡­ I thought I''m the only one unlucky, attracting trouble every time turns out it is destined to run in our blood huh?" Xander grinned and said, "Well mine is not intentional. I didn''t ask to be born with their blood you know. While you¡­ You''re always in trouble because you often ask for trouble." Keira''s face twitched when her husband seemed to be agreeing with her cousin in his expression. "Okay family of troubles¡­ Let''s wrap up now because I''m sure our newlyweds now want to have some time alone and rest by now guys," Rui interrupted because he already had so much bantering already while being the host of the party. "That''s a good idea my friend. Thank you all for everything. Me and Yera are really happy today and are very grateful for everything. You can now all shoo away and go back to your own endeavors¡­ Enjoy the remainder of your stay said Ryu since it''s his place not mine¡­ Haha. Me and my wife will leave now..." Xander shamelessly said and pulled his wife that instant from the function room. "Look at those two¡­ Especially my cousin. They don''t look worried at all," Keira commented with a sigh. "Were you worried at that time Keira when you jumped into troubles for the sake of Zach?" Rui denoted with a smile. "Geez, you¡­ Stop being a psychiatrist¡­" Keira grumbled and Rui laughed. "That''s the irony of being with the person you love. Danger seems nothing as long as you''re together." Rui stated. "Wow, hearing that from a single person who has never been in a relationship is just wo" Keira teased that made Rizie and Dion laugh. Rui''s face crumpled¡­ How come that day turned out to be such a cruel day for him because everyone had been bullying him for being a single. "Being single is life!" he exclaimed before walking out of the room and leaving everyone that was still inside laughing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera locked her husband in a very tight embrace. Tears started to shimmer in her eyes as she whispered, "Thank you." Xander absorbed his wife''s mesmerising scent and warmth. This lingering feeling was more than enough. They stood there hugging and saying the words ''I love you'' to each other over and over. No one was willing to get defeated because they both wanted themselves to be the last to say those words to one another. "Darling, let''s now move forward to our bed?" Xander, who was laughing, suddenly lifted Yera in his arms and walked slowly towards the bed, carrying her close to his chest. Xander put Yera tenderly on the bed, staring at her glowing face and sighed as he laid on Yera''s side, with his elbow on the bed supporting his head up sideways for a better view of his wife. "You look so stunning. Diamonds make you look more beautiful¡­" Xander whispered as he gently touched the diamond necklace on Yera''s neck. Yera turned to face him and murmured, "I love you." Xander chuckled and said, "Alright, you win¡­" Because Yera would answer again if he responded with ''I love you'' to her again, and they would end up exchanging "I love you" the whole day. Yera had a wicked smile on her face and she quickly rolled over on top of him. "I want to please my husband for giving me such a wonderful and unexpected wedding ceremony. I''m a bad wife for being such empty handed." Yera murmured with pouty lips. She had prepared nothing for her husband while her husband showered her with everything she could ever imagine. "Don''t you dare call my wife bad! She is the best woman I have ever met. Yera, darling, just having you by my side is more than enough for me. In fact I feel that I have been redundant lately so don''t make me repeat myself over and over again. But if you really want to please me¡­ I won''t stop you at all and by all means please do what you wish to do." Xander teased with a wink. Yera shook her head but did not complain instead she began to shower her dear husband with sweet kisses all over his face. She slowly unbuttoned his shirt and kissed and caressed every part of his exposed body with her hand followed by her lips. But Xander stopped her and sat on the bed when her hands reached on his belt. "Darling, I really don''t want to lose control and have a release if it''s not inside of you. I don''t want to waste my seeds. I really want it to be fruitful so I will strongly object on this¡­" Xander said in a serious note without blinking. Yera controlled her laughter but found it hard to do so she burst out laughing and mumbled, "Why are you spoiling it? Okay, Don''t worry¡­ I will immediately take you in if I feel like you''re almo¡­" Xander''s face crumpled and said, "You see I''m having a hard time controlling it today." He was referring to his own expulsion because unlike every other time he was having problems controlling himself and he felt if his wife gave him oral he would release earlier than he thought. Yera, who was sitting on his lap, cupped his face and said, "Alright¡­ I will not kiss you there... Just hold." Xander watched his wife undress him. Then Yera went out of the bed and stood in front of him. She grabbed her mobile phone and played some music. "What are you doing?" Xander hummed in anticipation hearing a s.e.xy tune playing on her mobile phone. "Wait there¡­ I''ve been practicing this for a while now because my husband does a good striptease and always entertains me so well, while I had never given you a show¡­" Yera mumbled as she grabbed a chair and kept it in the centre of the open space near the bed. She had watched the steps online and tried to memorize them so she could use it someday. She pulled Xander from the bed and made him sit on the chair. Xander was amused looking at her serious face. He was the one n.a.k.e.d so it felt awkward for him. Yera started by giving him a sensual smile as she began to walk slowly around him while brushing his head and shoulders with her fingers. She stopped in front of him and turned her back towards him and then slowly moved her h.i.p.s in a circle, slowly, s.e.xily and playfully pulling up the hem of her dress as if going to take it off, but then she just hooked a part of the side linen in her panty showing her s.e.xy right leg to Xander. Xander gulped. She slowly moved towards Xander once more and grabbed the armrest of the chair to slide herself up and down in front of him touching his body lightly, making electricity run through him. Then she ran her hand from his head all the way down his thigh, increasing contact. Seeing her husband''s member growing hard as it could, made Yera triumphantly smile. She now pulled and removed her gown from her body before sitting on Xander''s lap, brushing her b.r.e.a.s.ts up against him. She still wore a pair of her underwear and the diamonds on her neck and wrist added up to make her more alluring. Yera stood up when Xander was about to grab and kiss her. She winked and with one leg on the ground, she raised her other leg and gently brushed Xander''s member. Then she moved s.e.xily with music and bent forward in front of him. She swayed her body while removing the remaining clothing on her and then stood straight. Xander''s was almost losing his breath at that point. He was dripping wet while watching his wife biting her lip and touching herself up before lowering herself until she''s nearly sitting on his lap. She was grinding away on his lap and almost lost her balance and fell down, if not for his quick reflexes that made his arms encircle her waist. "Enough darling¡­ I told you I don''t want pre-ejaculation but with what you are doing I''m almost near to my release," Xander whispered in his hoarse voice. Yera smiled and sucked his lips hard like she was having her lollipop while she kept grinding herself on her husband. She could feel him damp so she lifted her buttocks up to give him what he was begging for. Letting him bury his member and thrust it inside of her as deep as he could. Xander was groaning hard as his wife started to move on his lap. He only hoped that the chair he was sitting on was sturdy enough to cater to their wild movements. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

His thoughts drifted to the wedding ceremony of his children and a satisfied smile crept up on his face. He too had good fun with everyone during the wedding and was now a little tired. This trip was going to be decisive in their fight with the evils of the Yue clan. A lot was running on his mind and thinking about his handsome son and beautiful daughter-in-law he slowly drifted to sleep. After hours, Senior Yang was awakened by a loud energetic voice inside the airplane. "Where is he?" he heard the familiar voice as he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw, no not a thing but a woman, was Liz and her sparkling beautiful eyes and her ear to ear smile, flashing her perfect white line of teeth. Senior Yang shook his head to snap himself out by just giving a lot of adjectives to describe Liz. "Good morning I should say¡­ Seems like you were really tired and didn''t enjoy your trip well, you did not even feel your plane just landed. Anyhow, I''m here to pick you up so let''s go." Senior Yang stood up from his chair while Liz instructed the flight attendant to give all his luggage to her men waiting outside. "You don''t need to bother yourself and pick me up yourself," Senior Yang sniffled. "But, I wanted to be bothered¡­ Besides, your son will kill me if something bad should happen to you while you stay under my protection." Liz mumbled. They went down the private plane and Senior Yang''s mouth twisted seeing armored men outside. "Isn''t this a bit too much?" Senior Yang commented and Liz laughed as she defended, "Not really¡­ It''s better safe than never James. Relax okay and just enjoy your stay while we wait for a response from her." Liz simply answered. It was already past midnight so it was dark as they travelled towards Chen''s mansion. Senior Yang felt bad that he couldn''t see the scenery as they travelled from the airport. It was his first time being in country V and he had heard that the landscaping along the way and trees were breathtaking and worth a stop over. Liz grinned and said, "Don''t worry I will tour you around soon but first have a proper rest." Senior Yang smiled and said, "Thanks Liz." After an hour of travel, they reached the Chen''s Mansion. As soon as they were inside, Liz and James were both startled seeing Old Master Chen sitting on the sofa waiting in the living room. "Dad, what are you doing here so late at night?" Liz exclaimed. Old Master Chen grinned and murmured, "I heard your special visitor would arrive around this hour so I had butler Sam set the alarm for me to wake up. Ohh he''s handsome I must say¡­" Liz''s eyes widened hearing the blunt comment from her father. She immediately looked timidly at James who too had turned crimson red as he awkwardly responded, "Thank you sir for your kind gesture." Old Master Chen laughed out hard and said, "Try calling me father from now on because I can feel that you will become my son-in-law soon¡­" "Dad!" Liz burst out. "Sorry James, butler Sam will assist you to your room. I''ll just bring dad to his room first¡­" Liz apologetically said and quickly pulled her father to his room. "Dad¡­ You''re scaring James! Stop that. If I fail it will be all your fault!" Liz cried. Old Master Chen laughed, seeing his daughter in panic. "I guess you really like the man Liz. seeing you react that way, getting affected by his discomfort tells a lot dear. Before whenever I teased you in front of other men you just laughed off and never pulled me out like this." "Yes dad! I like him very much, so please be a little cooperative and help me instead of scaring him away dad," Liz almost begged Old Master Chen who lightly shook his head as she helped him settle on his bed. Liz kissed her father''s forehead and whispered, "Sleep now dad. He will stay here for a few days so there''s a lot of time to meet, talk and get to know more about James. Gosh, why are you too excited. I will leave you now and turn off the lights." "Liz¡­" Old Master Chen called as Liz was about to turn off the lights. Liz turned around and smiled, "Yes dad?" "I love you and I want you to have someone beside you when I''m gone so please hurry up¡­" Old Master Chen jested. Liz''s face crumpled including her lips. She put her hands on her waist and complained, "If you speak nonsense words like that again¡­ I will never talk to you ever again dad!" "Okay I understand, you can leave now because I''m sleepy already¡­" Old Master Chen winked at his daughter who turned off the lights and left. He closed his eyes and heaved a long deep sigh. He was getting old. He was not afraid to die but the thought of leaving his daughter alone scared him the most. She was alone for all her life with only her son to live for. Well, he knew Dion would surely take good care of his mother yet Old Master Chen knew how busy his grandson was, not to mention the time constraints when he finally settled down. "Liz, I hope you do well and make the man fall for you," he mumbled before dozing off to sleep. Meanwhile, Senior Yang was assisted by butler Sam into his room. He already messaged his son about his safe arrival to his destination. He would call the couple the next morning since it was not an appropriate time to call them, as it was already three in the morning. He heard knocks on his door, so he stood up and opened the door to find Liz standing there with her evergreen smile on her face. "Are you good? Is there anything else that you need?" Liz asked as soon as he opened the door. "You also go and take rest now Liz. Everything is fine here and thank you." Senior Yang said with a smile. Liz stood there as if she had more to say so Senior Yang said, "It''s okay Liz. Don''t think too much about what happened downstairs. It''s nothing. You know how elders like to tease their kids, so I understand purely.." "Alright James. Go rest now. I''m sure you''re tired and have a good rest." Liz said and was about to leave but turned back and added, "James, honestly, my father meant every word so he was not just teasing¡­ Good night¡­" James was taken aback by that, wondering if Liz was just joking. To be true he could feel that something was going on. He was not born just yesterday to not notice it all but he was still in denial mode. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He usually jogged or walked at that hour in his mansion while savoring the fresh air and watching the sun rise. He went out and walked in the hallway. He was startled when a door opened and Liz came out. "Sorry did I scare you." Liz mumbled with a grin seeing that Senior Yang had an expression like he almost had an attack. "Follow me. I''ll jog along with you too." Liz energetically said. Senior Yang did follow her and the two walked outside. "Lucas will meet Ester today. He will call as soon as the visit goes well." Liz said while they finished one round jogging circling the huge track in the garden and sat on the bench panting as she looked at the sun rising. "Is that safe? Aren''t they at war?" Senior Yang asked. He was worried. "Of course¡­ They are not allowed to hurt each other openly especially in one''s territory. That''s so against the rules. Those clans all have two faces. You see them smiling at each other even though they are entangled in internal fights¡­" They paused for a while thinking about what to speak. "Isn''t it a great view?" Liz commented while she looked at the sun rising. "Yes it is." Senior Yang turned his head in the direction Liz was looking at and agreed, while he prayed that Lucas'' meeting would be a success. He himself had never met Lucas yet but he was briefed that he was the current King of Quan Clan. "Whenever you see the sun rise. What do you usually think of or say in your mind?" Liz asked out of curiosity. Senior Yang chuckled and answered, "Another morning is here and¡­" Senior Yang paused because he was about to jokingly say, "and another day without ''you''." He referred to his late wife about the word ''you''. For some reason he became sensitive not to say it infront of Liz. "Why did you cut it?" Liz complained with a smile. "Hmm I forgot what I was about to say next. How about you Liz?" Senior Yang asked instead. He wanted to know what Liz was thinking at that moment while she watched the sun rise. "Another morning and another loveless life?" Liz jested and followed it with a loud laugh. "Seriously?" Senior Yang mumbled and Liz nodded. "So how about helping me out from this thoughtform so I won''t be loveless?" Liz candidly stated that made Senior Yang gulp. "Liz¡­ I ¡­ I really don''t know what to say¡­" he muttered. Liz grinned and said, "You don''t need to say a thing James. You also don''t need to answer me. I just want you to know how I feel just in case you have a low EQ because of being alone for so long." She was glad that James was not apologizing to her and she took it as a positive sign. He did not say sorry so there was a possibility that the latter was considering her feelings. ......... At Yue Clan''s Territory "It''s been a while Lucas. Oh your son, time flies by so fast. I''m rooting for your son and trust me I will support him this coming election," the old woman smiled while she poured tea for the two gentlemen before her. "Thank you Ester. To be honest we came here to talk about something else and not about the upcoming election." Lucas pointed out. "Kanya''s husband would like to meet and talk to you," Lucas continued. Ester''s hand trembled so she immediately put down her cup. Her eyes suddenly became glossy hearing the name. "Lucas, what are you doing? Do you want to see me dead" Ester whispered. "Ester, I will make sure the meeting is confidential. No one from your clan will find out. He just wants to find out the truth about Kanya. They need help Ester. His son is in danger. His son is the only one living with real Yue blood. The real successor Ester. You once said to me that if given a chance you will correct everything and do something. This is now the time Ester to do what is right. He is your brother''s grandson¡­ Your blood¡­ It''s time to revise the rules, those twisted rules¡­ While the King is still not awake Ester... " Lucas convinced. He was aware that Ester had been suffering for years already for being a prisoner in her clan, not in the literal sense but in emotional and mental sense. "Where is he?" Ester whispered, hesitation still evident in her eyes. She already lost her son too for these rules and her own grandson is also missing. She did not even know if her grandson was still alive because she didn''t bother to look for him, afraid that he would have the same fate like his father when he was found, so she faked her grandson''s death. Ester couldn''t help but cry as the pain pierced her heart into pieces. Lucas was right. She had got nothing more to lose but to fight back. She was old already and before she died she should at least try to correct what was wrong for their clan''s sake. "I will meet him Lucas. Set up everything according to what you think is best. I know that Yue has been bullying your clan for sometime now and they are trying to frame your clan for their wrongdoings. I will do what I can to get some evidence while I''m inside¡­" Ester added. Lucas was startled by that and said, "No Ester, that''s too dangerous. We can handle everything on our own. I''m only asking you to help Kanya''s kin before it''s too late. Please don''t get involved in our fights with your clan. Freeing yourself from the past would be enough. Help Kanya''s son survive this time. A lot of innocent blood has been shed already. Let this man live Ester." "Thank you Lucas, I will do everything in my power to help them out." Ester answered with conviction. Ester watched the father and son leave. There was a silent war going on between her clan and the Quan clan but the two clans remained casual to each other as if nothing was going on. So casual visits like this was nothing, especially now that the election was nearing. She hoped that Lucas'' son would win this fight because this way they could finally achieve great change and real peace. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera asked while she and Xander were having a hearty meal with an ocean view. The sight was extremely relaxing and so serene that one could never get tired of looking at it. That day the ocean was particularly calm and serene. "He texted me as soon as she arrived at Chen''s place last night. No calls yet," Xander answered and filled a spoon of rice to feed Yera. Both woke up late that morning, so they were practically having brunch at noon. "Regan gave me a list of places we can tour on this island. He said we can just call him when we are ready. He had given a lot of places to visit and see. There are actually a lot of activities we can do while we stay here." Xander relayed. Then his lips curled in a s.e.xy grin as he teased, "You have to decide where you want us to go first and what we do first. Because if you will let me choose¡­ then well, you do know that I only have one place in mind that I would prefer us to stay the whole day and night as long as we stay here¡­" Yera pressed her lips and muttered, "I will better decide okay! You''re so hyper! Let''s do a few relaxing activities first. We must make sure that you don''t overexert yourself. For now let''s stay here and enjoy the ocean a little more¡­ Stargazing in the evening¡­ Then sleep¡­ I forbid you for getting intimate with me tonight..." Yera emphasized her last sentence with a heavy diction. Xander pouted his lips and did not react. Then his mobile phone rang and seeing the caller ID, Yera was the one who excitedly answered it. "Father how''s your trip?" Senior Yang chuckled and said, "Good daughter. Everyone here is also nice." "Put it on speaker phone," Xander interrupted so Yera did. "Dad¡­" "Yes son?" Senior Yang asked at another line. "How is Aunt Liz? Are you not with her?" Xander asked. "No son, I''m back in my room. We just finished lunch." "Oh kay give my regards to Aunt Liz and her father. Make sure to enjoy your stay there. Go out and tour around there. I heard from Dion that there''s a lot of places to see and enjoy." "Son¡­ You''ve said that so many times. Yes, I will be okay¡­ I don''t have a short memory yet for you to keep me reminded." Senior Yang complained that made Xander laugh. "Alright dad. How about the other things? You''re a free man, remember that so don''t you dare hesitate to open your heart.." "Son, the line is garble. I will call you back soon. Bye!" The call ended and Yera shook her head. "See you shooed father away. Geeez, you''re such a meddler son¡­" Yera remarked. "What? I have to remind him over and over so he won''t forget that he''s actually a free man and still alive. I know my father well darling¡­ He tends to hesitate and let all opportunities pass by after my mom''s death, he lived only for me. I really wish him to live for himself now..." Xander specified. When the sun was about to set, Yera pulled Xander towards the beach because of the lovely weather. She was in her bikini with a top while Xander wore his trunks. Yera brought a float and her sunglasses so she could rest her back cozily under the setting sun that was not too hot. "Don''t they have a bigger one so both of us could fit?" Xander complained. Yera chuckled and said, "Just stay in the water and watch for me while I rest." "How about I pull you there?" Xander pointed out at one of the water villas that Regan said they had prepared already for them to use anytime they wanted. Ryu had three water villas. One is for their private use and the other two were for close family and friends who were fortunate enough to get invited to his private island. The luxury, tranquility and privacy of the island were something they acknowledged. The whole area was protected by a security fence and whoever got in touch with it would be electrocuted and remain unconscious for a minimum of eight hours according to Regan. The only place without the fence was the beachfront of the mansion that was well guarded twenty four seven by a huge number of armed men. Regan told no one was allowed to enter the premises without prior permission and trespassers if any, to be caught would end up in jail. "I really want a private island like this darling. This is good for our family. I will instruct Ron to look for one as soon as everything settles down." Xander commented. He was truly inspired with Ryu''s Plumeria Island. "Dad called earlier and said there''s positive feedback on Lucas'' meeting with Ester Chang. So right now, dad will be waiting for the date, time and place of meeting with her." Xander whispered as he gently pushed Yera''s float farther where the water level reached his chest. Yera laid on the float with her back on the sun. She removed her shades and looked at Xander with a smile. "That''s good. We need to keep on praying for positive outcomes." she uttered and extended her hand to gently caress Xander''s cheek. "Do you think we can see a lot of stars tonight?" Xander changed the topic. "We can only hope to see more later. Why?" Yera asked and moved to look at the sky but she got disbalanced and fell in her husband''s embrace in the water instead. Xander caught her tightly and kissed her on her lips. His body was getting hot and he said, "I''ve never done it on a beach¡­" Yera was startled and she blushed hard when she heard her husband hummed his thoughts in her ear. Yera''s eyes rounded at her husband and burst, "Don''t tell me you have plans on polluting the clear beach!" Xander laughed and defended, "Why are you so mean. It''s not pollution, you even swallowed it before and you''re fine. It''s environmentally friendly." Yera reddened hard because of embarrassment. She herself wondered if her husband''s hyperactive s.e.x.u.a.lity was still normal or not. Xander seemed to read his wife''s expression. "I just missed you so much and it''s because of dad¡­ Dad has started to harass me again for a grandchild, cheering me and reminding me everyday to make sure I''ll be fruitful this time while we are staying here." Xander explained because it was true, though the main reason was that he was planning to leave soon. He wanted to leave Yera behind, in the island where she could be safe. The Yue Clan''s only target was him so Xander was planning to go back to the City and fight them face to face alone while Yera would wait for his safe return till he came back to pick her up. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Chad, also known as John, directly met Dion at Keira''s place as soon as he arrived at country D. He had some business dealings too but he prioritized seeing Dion and visiting Keira. "It''s been a while!" Keira burst out and hugged John so tight. Rizie and Dion were already at Keira''s place waiting for his arrival. Dion shook hands with Chad while Rizie was about to hug Chad too but Dion held her wrist and stopped her from running to hug him. Rizie caught his jealous expressions so she murmured, "My boyfriend is a bit too possessive, so let''s just shake hands." Keira laughed hearing that. Dion''s face twisted and mumbled, "Fiance Riz not boyfriend. I''m your fiance." Dion was giving a heavy tone on the word ''fiance''. Chad chuckled and said to Rizie, "Who would have thought you would be getting married so soon. Earlier I just had often seen you bantering with your siblings and bullying them whenever you could." "But in a cute way right? Gosh, you look more handsome and with the way you dress now¡­ Future Mr. President¡­ Wow!" Rizie could not help but comment. Chad looked so manly. "Well, it''s his destiny to be a leader." Keira added and let him sit while she asked her helpers to serve them snacks and juice. Then Keira continued, "I am sure you will win the election Mr. President. I heard that you''re doing good in the poll ranking. By the way, Mara was here last week. She would be happy if she found out you''re here. You should see herrr¡­" "Please no¡­" Chad quickly discouraged. Keira sighed and nodded in understanding but she felt frustrated. Chad gave her a reassuring smile before changing the topic to why he wanted to see Dion as well. "The meeting went well and we''ll schedule Senior Yang and Ester''s meeting very soon just that we need to make a precise and solid plan to avoid any suspicions. By the way, we need a good alibi just in case¡­ So Senior Yang''s sudden stay at Chen''s territory won''t cause any idea or suspicion in Yue Clan''s side." Chad stated. They had already asked Senior Yang the same but both him and Liz could not come up with any idea at all. They couldn''t link it with business matters because Liz'' and Senior yang were in different kinds of businesses to talk about business. Rizie''s face crumpled as she said, "That''s too easy. How come all of you are having a hard time thinking about this? Geez¡­ Don''t tell me I''m the only one who would have thought of this idea?" "What is it?" Dion asked, wondering what was Rizie''s idea that it sounded so simple to her. "What else can be a better idea than both of them being romantically involved with each other? I''m sure those Yue evils are aware that Dion''s mother had already stayed at Han mansion and she and Senior Yang used to go out a lot during her stay in this country¡­" Rizie wryly addressed. "What? Am I wrong" Rizie asked, seeing the conflicted expressions on the face of two men and Keira. "Rizie, what you are suggesting will be an easy request for younger generations but you''re asking the oldies. Do you think they will agree with that? Oldies are serious about matters like those dear. I think no one will be confident enough to ask uncle James about this thing. Even I will hesitate in asking him something like that." Keira stressed out. "We will never know if we won''t try," Rizie insisted. She was sure Dion''s mother would love the idea but of course she did not voice it out. The only question was about Senior Yang. "It''s for his son''s own good so I''m confident he will definitely agree with this." Rizie insisted, trying to convince them. "Okay, if you all are hesitating then let me be the one to talk to Uncle James about it and reason it out to him. I think it will be better if I do it than any of you or even bro Xander. Time is ticking fast so if there are no better ideas from bro and sis or Rui, let''s try mine." Rizie offered, standing firm on her idea. "We will start spreading rumors in both hospitals that Dion''s mother and uncle James are in a romantic relationship. I''m sure there are informers in both hospitals from the Yue clan and they will do the rest for us and the info will reach the enemies ears very soon." Rizie added seeing everyone seemed to be now agreeing on her idea. She was sure the enemies planted spies inside the hospitals so creating that rumor was good. Rizie and Dion soon left Keira''s residence after some more chatting. Inside the car, Dion asked, "Do you think uncle James will agree?" "Hmm he would. I''m sure about it¡­" Rizie replied as she selected some songs in the car''s music system. She noticed a new card on his rack and picked it up. "Fitness instructor?" she murmured with a creased forehead. Dion smiled awkwardly and quickly grabbed the card from Rizie''s hand. "You are hiring a fitness instructor?" Rizie asked, shocked that she was not aware of it because she was handling all of Dion''s schedule and whereabouts. "Uhmm yeah.." Dion hesitated and then accepted. "Why?" Rizie asked. "To get fit of course." Dion simply answered. "Huh? You''re fit already Di, so why waste time and energy into it? You''re too busy already and your health¡­ I don''t think it would be good for your health. Work-outs are tiring and physically exhausting¡­" Rizie chided with collided brows. She was worried for Dion''s health, especially now that he barely got enough rest and she wondered why he still wanted to do more work-outs? He was already mentally exhausted and she did not want him to push his body also towards exhaustion. "I thought you like muscles." Dion whispered that Rizie barely heard at all. "What?" Rizie chimed. Dion heaved a long sigh and repeated, "I said, I thought muscles attract you and I don''t have a muscular body, so I wanted to work-out for having one like¡­" Rizie got it now and she tried her best not to burst out in a fit of laughter. "Like what?" she innocently asked. "Like what Chad has¡­ Those abs and hard muscle arms¡­" Rizie could no longer take it and the inside of the car was filled with her loud laughs. Dion was so embarrassed that he pursed his lips and tried to focus on driving. He felt Rizie''s arms on his with her head resting on his shoulder. "I prefer this¡­ My Di¡­ Not those hard muscles¡­ Well, they are attractive but not as fluffy as your arms and chest. I feel more comfortable with the kind of body you already have, so don''t you dare try working on abs or muscles and become stiff and uncomfortable to hug and sleep!" "But you said they are attractive." Dion pinpointed. "Yeah but your body is more attractive so listen properly to me okay?" Dion''s face flushed as a bashful smile curled up on his lips. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They detailed everything and then Rizie told him about their idea of keeping away the suspicions of the Yue clan. She started explaining to him why and how that idea was best and easy to follow. Rizie emphasized that they could not afford any loose ends and give the enemy any hints to what they were doing. "But pretending at this age¡­" Senior Yang whispered while he was in his room. At his age, pretending was not the case because he should take full responsibility for his actions. Liz would be put in a tough spot if he only pretended to be in a relationship with her and later left her tainted with a scandal lurching on her head. Liz was not just a nobody but she had a reputation to hold. Senior Yang knew that Liz had faced enough backlash when she continued her pregnancy while unmarried and gave birth to Dion without a father so another backlash where he would be the culprit was not fair for her. ''There will be no backlash if you will remain by her side and make the pretending real.'' His inner self reasoned out but he was still hesitant. Confused, he grabbed his mobile phone and called his son to make himself clear over the matter. Xander was not aware yet about the plan as no one had informed him about it yet. Rizie also emphasized that it would be best if he would be the one to talk it out with Xander, so both of them could think more or probably came up with a better solution. Xander answered and Senior Yang narrated to him about his talk with Rizie. "How about I move into another place and just have our own security to guard me?" Senior yang suddenly thought. Xander''s eyes widened as he burst, "No dad! That''s more dangerous and too suspicious! They will all suspect you as to what you''re doing there alone in the first place. This will make their suspicion confirm that you had gone there for nothing else but to spy on Mirage and the clans so that''s a big NO dad." Senior Yang heaved out a long sigh and so did Xander on the other line. After a few moments of silence, Xander broke the silence and said. "Rizie''s suggestion is the best we could follow right now. I''m sure aunt Liz won''t mind this..." Senior Yang''s face darkened and he explained his sentiments to his son how he felt bad for putting her reputation at stake at this stage and hence he was uncomfortable to pretend and cause any mishap to Liz and her name. Xander exhaled loudly before he firmly answered, "Then don''t pretend dad." "Dad¡­ Please honestly¡­ I mean I will ask you something and I want you to answer it with all honesty. You said we two are the only ones to take care of each other so there shouldn''t be any secrets between us. I had always been an open person to you dad. You know me inside out, and so have you been for me." Xander started. "Yes son," Senior Yang murmured with a sigh. He readied himself for whatever it was his son would ask. "Dad, do you find aunt Liz attractive?" Xander started to ask. "Yes¡­ But I''m not sure..." "Dad, no explanation. I just need you to give me a Yes or No answer as simple as that." Xander commanded. "So do you find aunt Liz attractive?" Another sigh before Senior yang answered, "Yes." "Do you like to spend time with her?" Xander probed. "What kind of question is this son?" Senior Yang was feeling embarrassed by this probing now. "Just say yes or no dad!" "Yes...but.." "Dad, don''t feel guilty and don''t think that you are betraying mom when you think of aunty Liz. Don''t think and consider mom in this situation please, let''s face the fact that mom is no more and can no longer be physically present with us. Tell me dad, can you see aunt Liz as a wife material? Like, your wife, living with you?" Xander asked next. "Xander!" Senior Yang cried because he found it too difficult to answer. "Dad, don''t make me repeat myself¡­ It''s not a difficult question at all. Just Yes or No. So can you see or picture aunt Liz as your wife, dad?" Xander impatiently stressed. Senior Yang''s forehead creased as he muttered, "Yes." Because Liz was a nice person and they had a lot in common. He was actually comfortable with her around¡­ He felt at ease and comfort with her¡­ Perhaps because Liz was a bubbly person who always smiled and gave him a sense of support. "Will you be sad if you see her with another man at this point?" Xander asked next. Senior Yang cut off his tongue and tried to analyze himself and the situation. If he would give an honest answer, it would be a YES. he knew in his heart that he would be sad. "Yes." Senior yang whispered. "Did you miss her when she went back to her country?" Xander asked, hoping by now his father could get a grasp on his true feelings. Xander knew his father well and he knew that somehow aunt Liz had managed to leave a good impression on him. Aunt Liz had managed to imprint herself in his father''s mind, and she did hold a special place in her father''s heart. It was a good start he should say. A good start to open again his father''s heart. Xander controlled himself from teasing his dad for the several sighs he was hearing on another line. "Yes¡­" Senior yang answered. He did miss Liz''s company, her laughters, smiles, jokes, her standpoints and visions in life¡­ Senior Yang''s eyes widened as the realization dawned at him more clearly. "Dad, so now I think I don''t need to ask you the last question? Don''t hesitate dad. Don''t let an opportunity pass by you. Don''t let the pass cage you¡­ Mom will be happy seeing you happy. I, your son will be more happy seeing you with a companion, seeing you with someone you like and love. Life is so precious that hesitating in holding on to happiness is not worth it. As long as you''re not hurting others in pursuing your happiness, you deserve it." "Thank you son." Senior Yang whispered as tears started to well up in his eyes. He was too proud of his son. Xander had grown up so well. "No worries dad, I''m great you see because I happened to have a great father. The best father in the world. Dad let''s end this call before we become too dramatic. It''s not in our character because both of us prefer to smile and laugh. Hehehe" Xander jested before saying goodbye and ended the call. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rui''s father authoritatively said. Rui did not comment and continued to eat dinner. He shook his head¡­ No wonder he was asked to dine with them tonight because they had something they needed from him. "I''m sure this time you will like this family. I believe you also know them enough." his father continued. Rui had no interest in hearing this nonsense at all. He put down his spoon and fork and stood up. With soulless eyes, he looked at his stepmother and said, "You can just message me the place, date and time from next time, instead of calling me over. I''m done with the dinner. Thank you for the meal." "Sit down!" Rui''s father yelled. Rui saw his stepmother comfort his father as if consoling him and let him slide this time. ''What a poker face!'' Rui wanted to shout in her face. Only he could see her real face behind her meek and tamed mask. Rui heaved a controlled sigh and went back to his seat. "Is there anything else father," he asked in almost a whisper. "Finish your food child. I heard you''ve been busy recently tending help to your friend! When will you get out from the Yang''s shadows? You???re a Dee yet see how do you live? You''ve been wasting your time either roaming around everywhere or getting involved with that Xander Yang like his sidekick!!!" Rui''s father hissed. His face was red with anger and he was venting it all out on Rui right now. Rui balled his fists, he tried very hard to control his emotions, to calm down as he always did. HIs father was too old and not in good health now to get angry like that. He looked at his two older brothers who lived in their own worlds and were too busy to bother with whatever was going on. "What''s wrong with being a sidekick? Let Rui do what he wants dad. He has no capacity and is very incapable anyway to help with the company matters. I can manage the business all by myself." his older brother proudly announced. "Yeah right¡­ That''s why we are facing a lot of lawsuits nowadays¡­" his second brother exclaimed. That was why Rui hated his family. There was nothing like a family between them. He never felt at ease being with this so called family of his and even today he wanted to leave early, just as soon as his father disclosed his intention of calling him for dinner. He did not want to witness how much more messy things could be between everyone. That was also the main reason he didn''t want to get involved in the family business because he was aware once he agreed to step in there, he would have three freaking enemies to be wary of, his stepmother and two half brothers. He was like the Cinderella in the Cinderella fairytale except that he was a male. His major concern and only enemy when he joined them for a meal was his father''s incessant nagging. He really should ask Zach if the military had any technology or certain kind of transparent earphones that he could put on his ears next time he visited them to avoid hearing all those annoying words his family rambled during a meal like this. Rui heaved a long sigh of relief as soon as he managed to get freed from his family. His father had given him an ultimatum for the so-called arranged marriage. He would be wiped out from his family if he did not follow his father''s orders. Not that it really mattered because Rui knew he definitely could live better on his own but for some reason he couldn''t¡­ He was afraid¡­ He was scared of not having a name he could use¡­ A name where he felt he belonged to¡­ He was scared and afraid of being abandoned by his own family¡­ being left alone. He chuckled on his own thoughts as he drove his car to his place. Had Xander witnessed everything and was able to read his thoughts right now, Rui would surely be scolded nonstop. "He would have asked his dad to adopt me for sure." Rui mumbled with a soft grin on his face. That would be really nice if it could happen, but for fulfilling his promises he could not let that happen. He had promised his mother before she died to stick with his father and obey him, no matter what. "Mom, see how loyal your son is to you! I''m complying to my promise... no matter the amount of pain I suffer..." Rui whispered, his eyes focussed on the road. Rui heaved a long deep sigh. His stepmother was annoyed with him so he expected a horrible date would be arranged for him this time. ''Maybe I should just fake my own death mom, the only way I could get rid of all these nightmares?'' Rui mused with a crumpled face. ...¡­. The next morning, Rui received a message from his stepmother. "What the heck," he mused reading the message. The meeting with the family was set that same day at lunch. Rui cursed when he read the next message. [Come in time because if you''re late by even just a second, I will tell your dad how you sabotaged this meeting.] He looked at his watch and cursed again as he rushed out from his office and ran towards his car to reach the meeting place in time. He almost hit the nearby car when he abruptly parked his in the parking lot of the restaurant. He looked at his wristwatch and literally ran inside the restaurant to reach well in time. He smirked seeing he was still five minutes early. His step mother thought she could bully him that easily again. ''She just messaged me thirty minutes before the meeting, yet I made it in time. Huh¡­ I sure know how to torture you my dear MOM.'' he hissed as he walked inside the restaurant. He could almost see his stepmother''s poker smile at him from afar so he dismissed the waitress who was about to guide him with the reservation. Rui''s forehead creased, seeing a little familiar piece of cloth of a woman who his step mother seemed to be talking with. ''Cali?'' he mused as he walked closer. Then he suddenly recalled his father mentioning that he probably knew the girl they had arranged for him. ''It can''t be¡­'' Rui wanted to dismiss the possibility. ''No they won''t.'' he argued to his hunch, thinking Mr. Lua would not dare agree with another arranged marriage after everything that had happened. "Oh, my son is here." Rui heard his step mother say using her honey dipped fake voice. Rui quickly looked towards the woman sitting in front of his mother and his eyes widened seeing the angelic face of Cali smiling ever so sweetly at him. "Cali?" Rui burst in shock. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Cali gave Rui an awkward smile as she murmured, "Dr. Dee." "Oh I see you two know each other. That''s good then." Rui''s stepmother commented with a chuckle. "Are you here with your grandfather?" Rui asked as he looked around. "Yes I am, but he had to leave in a rush¡­ There was some emergency¡­" Cali explained but paused when Rui suddenly pulled her wrist. "Son.." Rui''s stepmother grunted. Rui gave her a wink and said, "We would prefer to go on a date alone, MOM." Cali noticed how sarcastically Rui uttered the word ''mom''. She gave the old lady a nod and a sweet smile. "Let''s see each other again auntie at some other time." she quickly whispered while Rui was pulling her out from her chair. "You wouldn''t need to see her anymore," Rui mumbled. Cali could sense the irritation on his stern face as he led her to his car, opened the door and signaled her to get inside. "Did you agree to this under pressure? Is your grandpa trying to force you again with some kind of tricks? I will help you to get out of this Cali so don''t worry." Cali heard Rui insist. Cali bit her lips nervously. She felt her tongue was cut off and she was unable to speak another word. ''Should I tell him that it was my idea? But what would he think of me if I did?'' she debated with her inner self about what she should answer Rui. "Where are we going?" she muttered instead. "I''ll bring you home Cali." Rui plainly answered. "I don''t wanna go home. It''s too boring over there. I will go crazy if I stay there alone for too long." Cali mumbled. She heard Rui sigh before asking, "Where do you want me to drop you off then? Do you wanna visit some friends of yours? How about I call Rizie now and¡­" "No! I told you I won''t meet any of my friends until my hair grows long enough. You said to your mom that you are taking me on a date." Cali innocently reminded Rui. Rui pulled the car at the side of the road in haste. He looked at Cali with his stern face and asked, "What''s going on Cali?" Cali turned to meet his gaze and without a second thought she leaned forward and gave Rui a quick peck on his lips. "I think this explains everything I had to say to you, because I feel too shy in saying everything to you in person." Rui was stumped by that action of Cali and what she said next fused the entire wiring of his brain. "Do you know who was the girl that your stepmother was originally going to set you up with? Had it not been me then you would have to agree with that ugly arrangement of your mother and it seems you had no choice but to agree to it." Cali then specified the name of that girl. Everyone knew that woman because she was often involved in romantic affairs with rich families and tycoons. In short, the woman his stepmother wanted to set him up with was a leech that was famous for destroying many lives already and next would be Rui''s life if not for Cali and her grandfather''s interceptance. Rui''s face was still faint. He wasn''t expecting what Cali did though he already understood that Cali adored him. He composed himself and looked Cali straight in her eyes and said, "It''s none of your business Cali whoever my family wants me to get married with. It''s my own problem and I will handle everything on my own." "You mean you prefer her over me?" Cali felt her world crumble. Rui did not exactly say that but she felt that what he just said had the same meaning. "But Rui, I like you¡­ I really do" Cali bravely confessed. Rui sighed frustratedly as he looked at downcasted face of Cali. She was clearly upset by his words and tears started to well up in her eyes. ''Oh God!'' Rui mused as he continued, "Cali, I am not telling you my preference, what I''m saying is that you''re still very young and you should enjoy your youth more. Marriage is not just a simple thing, it is a commitment for life. What you probably feel right now is just a crush on me and it may not last long. And that''s pretty normal to happen. You like me for certain reasons so you simply adore me. Having a crush or liking someone is much way different than being in love. You should enjoy your life and you deserve to fall in love and to be loved¡­" Cali stared at him with pouted lips and said, "Okay. How about this Rui, let''s accept the arrangement between our families right now. That way you can buy more time for yourself. Let''s get engaged for a long time. I will enjoy my youth during that period just as you said¡­ I will not interfere with you in that span of time that we''re engaged. But, after I have enjoyed my youth and you''re still single and I''m still not in love with anyone¡­ We will proceed to marriage." Rui''s jaw dropped when he heard her words. He could not believe that he was given such an offer from Cali. She played the same tactics with Dion and now it was his turn. But why did he feel like her offer to him was more like¡­ a marriage proposal? Rui emitted a sigh of defeat. Cali was triumphantly smirking inwardly. She anticipated this scenario so she had already prepared her back up plans. With the right opportunity and deliberate actions, she knew her tactics would definitely work-out. She was a hopeless romantic person and an avid fan of romance books, so much so that she dreamt of experiencing the same things that they often described in the books. Since she felt it for the first time, she would not let the opportunity pass by. Dr. Rui Dee had to be hers... Cali gave him a timid smile and said, "I think I''m good at offering proposals. Are you busy today? Can we at least go somewhere? I''m really bored¡­" Rui exhaled loudly before saying, "Alright where do you want to go?" "I''m hungry¡­" Cali mumbled, rubbing her stomach. Rui laughed and started the engine and turned the steering wheel to go back on the road. "Alright let''s eat first then you can decide where you want to go or what you want to do." he murmured. He agreed that Cali was indeed smart and proposed such conditions that were hard not to be considered. Whichever way he thought, what Cali proposed was best plausible way to escape torture from his family and indeed a good offer for both sides. He raised his eyebrows at the thought that Cali may be young but she was pretty quick witted and ang a clever young lady on top of that. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera asked suspiciously because Xander was practically almost always around her, holding her hands or wrapped her around his arms. He only let her go whenever she would need to use the restroom and Yera started feeling that something was going on in Xander''s mind because he seemed restless too. "What''s going on darling?" she pondered, while pressing Xander''s hand that was holding hers tightly. Xander was sitting right beside her with his head resting on her shoulder while they enjoyed watching the night sky with one more night of stargazing because it was just too beautiful combined with the soothing, relaxing and gentle waves of the sea. They were sitting inside the floating villa, in a room where they could open up the roof for a very clear night sky view. Xander was contemplating whether to tell Yera about his plans or should he let her find out once he was ready to leave. He had five more days to spend time with her and enjoy the bliss of her love, and five more days to decide... Xander playfully poked on Yera''s cheeks and changed the topic by saying, "Do you think we can successfully create our little Xander or little Yera while we stay here?" Yera laughed and said, "Yes, there''s really a very high chance since this week I have my fertile days." Yera squinted her eyes and questioned him, "You did it on purpose, right? You planned and set our vacation here while I''m fertile to reap the most benefits from me." She was aware that her husband was tracking her cycle and he even had his own application on his mobile phone for it. "Well, it''s not mine but your father-in-law''s idea you know. I''m just simply complying with his desperate advice." Xander defended with a grin. "She''s probably watching us right?" Yera suddenly murmured softly, referring to the baby they lost. "Yes, she''s cheering us right now and I''m sure also praying for her parent''s safety this time around. She definitely understood our situation." Xander comforted his wife. Then added, "Why she?" Yera chuckled and said, "Because I want a baby girl?" "Hmm, little Yera is a good idea. Let''s work harder, who knows we may have triplets along the way. Keira''s twins will be no match to my triplets then," Xander jokingly mumbled and quickly rolled over his wife on their bed. Yera no longer stopped her husband whenever he would ask for it, seeing his health was already perfectly fine and besides Xander were very gentle in his movements not to make her worry. If possible, Yera wished to stay there for a longer period of time. Hide in there where they were safe from the chaos outside, but she knew that they could not hide forever. Somehow they must put an end to things for a peaceful family that she and Xander wanted to build. She did not want to lose another baby nor lose her husband at any cost. Yera wondered what was bothering Xander so while Xander was busy showering her neck with his gentle kisses she reopened the topic and asked, "I feel that something''s bothering you. We can always talk about it¡­ I want us to relax while we are here and waiting for results¡­ I know it will be difficult not to get concerned about things but I hope you can share it with me. I don''t want you to carry all the burdens on your own." Xander lifted his head and with pouted lips complained, "Darling¡­ Are you trying to coax me so that I''ll allow you to take a rest and not make love?" Yera chuckled and shook her head. "We sure can make love, but after you tell me what''s bothering you. Didn''t you know that you''re completely transparent when in front of my eyes? I can easily read you Mr. Xander Yang!" Xander massaged his nape and gave his wife an awkward smile. Then he sat straight on the bed and pulled Yera in front to face him. ''Maybe it would be better to tell Yera about it now itself.'' He thought looking at Yera''s curious eyes because his wife would definitely not stop asking also until she was answered. He was such a bad actor when in front of her and couldn''t even hide simple emotions from her. She was always able to catch him, even his miniscule emotions of being restless and looking bothered about whether to tell Yera his plans or not. Xander held his wife''s hands and started to open up to Yera and briefed her about his dilemma of leaving her alone on the island. "We all think that it would be the best if we both are not together darling¡­" Xander explained as his heart started to palpitate because of Yera''s complete silence. She had an expressionless face that was hard to read or maybe he couldn''t find out because the night sky and the moon was not bright enough for him to get a clear view of her reaction. "You will not be alone darling, dad will stay with you here and aunt Liz too if she happens to accept dad''s proposal and the two finally end up together. Dad then will be accompanied by aunt Liz, will be here to stay with you," Xander explained. It was the initial plan that his father would stay with Yera at Plumeria and hopefully aunt Liz too. Yera still did not respond so Xander started to get worried for her. "Darling¡­ I know you want us to be together in every condition, but it won''t be wise seeing our current chaotic situation¡­" Xander continued, trying to convince his wife that it would be for the better. He too did not want to be away from her so it was a very hard decision to make. "I understand." Yera finally muttered. "When will you leave?" she whispered next. "Next week. We still have five more days to enjoy each other''s company so please understand why I''m always around you and stick with you darling... hehe." Xander winked as he justified his clingy actions lately. "You. If I didn''t ask, did you even have any plans of telling me about it?" Yera appealed. "Hmm, I''m not sure because I was really hesitating." Xander truthfully answered. "You thought I would insist on coming with you?" Yera asked. She knew she was stubborn at times but she understood the situation well enough. She touched her belly¡­ She would make sure she would get pregnant and this time she would keep her baby safe and wait for Xander to come back and pick her up. She had trust in Xander and above all she trusted the people who were helping them. Now they knew who was the enemy. It wouldn''t be a blind shot anymore from their side this time around and she knew everyone, including her husband would make a wise and strong plan to make those evil doers pay for their deeds. Yera hugged her husband and said, "You have to remember to report to me at least three times a day. If you miss a single report, expect me to not to wait in here¡­" Xander chuckled and nodded. "Yes darling!" "Let''s make a baby now." yera whispered and pounced on him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Senior Yang was not able to find out the right opportunity to tell Liz about the situation and his true feelings towards her. He did not want Liz to misjudge him, neither did he want to hesitate and keep his true intentions from Liz. He in fact wanted to tell her about his feelings as soon as possible. Though it all started as a suggestion from Rizie to ward off any suspicions of the Yue clan, Xander had helped him open up his heart and encouraged him to listen to what his heart said. His intentions were clear now and his feelings towards Liz were real. The chaotic situation of his family became a way for him to realize his feelings and gave him the courage to move forward. "You okay?" Liz asked with a puckered forehead as she noticed James was a little out of himself. James smiled but sweat started to form on his forehead. "Yes, I am fine Liz." he answered and turned his head to watch the beautiful sunset scene in front of him. "Today I will treat you to dinner Liz, let''s go straight for dinner after the sunset." Liz nodded and agreed and soon they reached their destination. Liz could not help but admire his ability to find out the best place in even an unknown territory. They were at a high class, elegant restaurant that James had instructed his assistant to book a reservation with. "By the way, how did you know this restaurant is the best in the City?" Liz asked as she cut her steak. "I asked my assistant to have me booked at the best restaurant in your City. This is the least I can do for the good treatment I''m receiving from you and your father," James voiced out his feelings. But the truth was far from it, he actually had chosen the place where he could properly propose to Liz. Liz on the other hand was squealing inside because the restaurant they were at was the most romantic restaurant in the city and was a kind of place where they could be serenaded by great musicians and also dance in the center like a couple, not to mention the romantic view of the city from the highest floor of the restaurant. "James, is this a date?" Liz candidly asked with her bashful smile. She just wanted to make sure that she and James were on the same page. She did not want to misinterpret things on her own. She also wanted to realise how much she now weighed in his heart and what value she has in James'' life. Though she was certain that she had acc.u.mulated some volume of his heart already, yet she wanted to be sure about it. James looked at her deeply in her eyes and whispered, "Yes. It''s our first date Liz." Meanwhile, James was in a dilemma about how he should start to express himself and what to say to her first. Liz seemed to have read his thoughts and she was sure James was in some kind of dilemma so she broke her silence to help him out. "Dion told me about Rizie''s suggestion and I accepted it okay. I can see that you''re having a hard time delivering this to me¡­" Liz exposed with an assuring smile. "Oh" Senior Yang gasped and almost kissed Dion in his head for helping him out about this so now he could focus on his real confession. The music became romantic and most of the couples got up and went to the center for a dance. Senior yang gulped because it was a cue for him. He stood up and extended his hand to Liz. "Would you like to dance with me?" he asked with a smile. Liz immediately raised her hand to accept him and let James pull her towards the center. She gasped when she felt James hold her arms boldly and guided her to put them around his neck. He then kept both his hands on her waist and slowly wrapped her waist in his arms, pulling her a little closer to himself. Liz was shocked. She almost choked and was not able to breathe at all because of the proximity between them and because those entire years¡­ She had never been close to any man like this. She laughed inwardly as the butterflies in her stomach seemed to be in chaos while her heartbeat was becoming irregular. So she was still capable of feeling something like this despite her age! James was reading her expressions and was amused by her reactions and felt all the more happy about his decision. Liz looked up to find out how he felt and her eyes met James. ''He looks so serious,'' she silently thought. "Liz.. Actually¡­" Senior Yang spoke but paused. "To be honest there''s more to it¡­" he continued. "Huh?" Liz was a bit confused but she smiled and encouraged James to continue by saying, "James you know you can openly talk to me like I talk to you all the day round, so don''t hesitate and speak up. What is it?" ''That''s true.'' James thought. Liz was very open with him. She was a completely transparent person and that was one of the many things he found attractive about her. He gave Liz a timid smile as he said, "I talked to my son and he helped me realize that I should not let happiness pass me by¡­" Liz''s heart was pumping hard against her chest hearing those words. ''OMG!'' she was screaming inside as she kept her ears wide open for his next words. If she could she already would have shouted the DJ of the hall to turn off the music so that she could hear James better. "Yes, I must confess that it all started when Rizie suggested that solution. At first, I didn''t agree because I knew it would be highly unfair for your side. In whichever way things turned out to be, it would look like I used you to get help in our situation for my son. Your name would have to face another backlash like what you encountered while you were pregnant with Dion." Senior Yang explained. Liz bit her lip because she was surprised that James really listened to all her stories during her stay with him. She thought he was letting it all out from his other ear because she talked a lot while he was only quiet during those times¡­ The suspense of James''s pausing in his deliberation was killing her, she wanted to interrupt and ask him to say the words in one go but she wanted to hear everything out so she patiently waited. Meanwhile, James paused to get some more air and courage because he was really nervous. "But I want you to know my true heart Liz¡­ You''re the happiness that I will not just let my life pass by¡­" Jame''s picked-up something from his pocket and bent on his knees in front of Liz. He opened the small box and a sparkling emerald ring was brought in front of her¡­ Her favorite gem¡­ James even noted that¡­ "Liz Chen, will you be my happiness for the rest of my life?" James asked with his lovely eyes directed towards Liz'' glossy eyes that started to tear. "Oh God! YES!"Liz almost shouted and pulled Jame on his feet to give him a tight hug while she kept on saying "Yes! Yes! Yes! I will be your happiness until we grow old!!!!" The crowd that witnessed it clapped their hands and whistled and some took photos and videos not to mention the restaurant itself captured those sweet moments. Another trending couple¡­ Another sweet proposal inside their restaurant... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Dear, Is this a new ring? I have never seen you wearing this before." old Master Chen casually asked. Liz''s face blushed as she timidly looked at Senior Yang. Old Master Chen lifted an eyebrow as he looked at his daughter. When he shifted his gaze to Senior Yang he blinked several times seeing the man''s red face too. "What''s going on?" Old Master Chen encouraged, hoping what he was thinking was right while reading the identical bashful expressions of the two people sitting in front of him. Senior Yang coughed a little to clear his throat and built up some courage before he said, "Sir, I would like to ask for your daughter''s hand in marriage." There was a long silent pause¡­ Senior Yang bit his lip as he waited¡­ Then he saw Old Master Chen smile at him and mutter, "Start calling me father now¡­" "Thank you sir¡­" Senior Yang stood up and bowed before Old Master Chen. "Uhuh! No sir¡­father... and please get back to your seat." Old Master Chen reminded. So Senior Yang quickly responded, "Yes father. Thank you so much father¡­" Senior Yang smiled as he went back to his seat. The nervousness he was feeling quickly dissipated seeing the positive feedback from Liz''s father. ''It was faster than I expected.'' Old Master Chen mused but he was glad his daughter succeeded in a short span of time. Senior Yang was a reputable man and Old Master Chen knew he did not need to worry for his daughter anymore now because he could feel that he was the right one for his daughter¡­ Someone he could trust his daughter''s welfare and happiness with... Old Master Chen could not help as tears started to fall down from his eyes. Liz immediately stood up and sat beside her father to hug the latter. "I believe these are the tears of joy dad¡­" Liz jested as she too sobbed. Senior Yang quietly watched the comforting love of the father and daughter. That moment, James vowed to himself that he would do his best to be the best husband he could be for Liz and the best son-in-law he could be to Old Master Chen. And of course before he forgot¡­ The best father he could be to his now second son¡­ Dion¡­ He had not updated Xander yet about the successful proposal to Liz, but he planned to tell him soon since he had already conveyed his intention to Liz''s father. ...¡­ Meanwhile, in an open ocean¡­ A luxurious yacht was drifting on the ocean waves with a few people on the deck... "I saw this coming¡­" Raine murmured, while looking at the photos of Senior Yang stationed in country V. The sun was particularly hot at that point, beaming it''s burning rays on Raine''s skin as she laid comfortably on a chair on the deck of her private yacht. She was currently at a beach for some fresh air because she could not stand to see her uncle''s rotten face anymore. She was on a beach... Not far from Plumeria Island''s territory. "Did you find out if there was any other reason for his staying at the Chen Mansion?" Raine asked Tyron who tapped on his tablet before he handed it to Raine to show her something. Tyron wondered if Raine had applied a sunblock on her body because the heat of the sun would surely burn her skin leaving rashes seeing she only wore her bikinis. "This video circulated online last night¡­" Tyron explained, still bothered with Raine''s skin under the sun. Raine creased her forehead and smirked as she watched the video, "Wow, what a romantic scene for our seniors. What a lovely scene. It''s just like I''m watching a movie. Did uncle see this already?" "Yes he did so security for Senior Yang was loosened from his side. He now wants his men to focus on finding where Xander is hiding¡­ Soon he will find Xander too¡­" Tyron commented with a sigh. "I''m sure Xander''s father is not there just because of some tickling romance in his life. I want you to report to me every detail of the old man''s movements. Especially when he goes out¡­ My gut is telling me that he has some other agenda behind his stay here. Make sure your movements are discreet such that not even my uncle can find out what you are doing." Raine instructed and heard another sigh from Tyron. "Your sighs are reverberating everywhere Tyron! We found Xander first so that''s good enough. I can kill him before my uncle does¡­" Raine murmured and handed back the tablet to Tyron. Tyron''s face twisted because it was not because of Xander that he was sighing but it was Raine''s skin he was worried about. "Did you even put a sunblock before sunbathing like this? The temperature today is quite high and your ski¡­" He paused seeing Raine''s raised arm, signaling him to leave. "Meddler," Raine muttered, annoyed that she often encountered a lot of men who seemed to meddle too much in her life. "What a distraction!" She hissed. Her annoyance changed into a warm smile when she felt the fur of Draki on her legs and her pet wolf woofed and pounced on her. "Do you want to swim again?" Rain asked with a smile but furrowed her forehead seeing a bottle of sunblock lotion in Draki''s mouth. "What? Is he your boss that you are following his instructions instead of mine?" Raine dryly scolded her pet who shoved the bottle of sunblock from its mouth in her lap. Draki stared at her and nudged its mouth on the sunblock as if instructing her to put it on her body. Raine turned around to look at Tyron who quickly avoided his glare and looked in another direction then talked to their men as if instructing something. "Such a nuisance¡­" she mumbled and opened the bottle to apply some sunblock. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

I can hear you perfectly so please don''t scream." Dion complained. Dion''s ears almost deafened with the excited screams of his mother on the other line, informing him of the details of Senior Yang''s proposal that had already been circulating online. "Sorry son. Just that I''m so happy¡­ Oh you should visit here soon with Rizie now. Your grandpa can''t wait to meet her also." Dion heard his mother say next. They talked about a lot more things before ending the call. Dion, who was sitting on the couch in the living room of Rizie''s condo unit was grinning happily as he rewatched the video of Senior Yang''s proposal to Liz. "Dinner is ready," Rizie called him but got curious about what Dion was watching with such a happy face. She wrapped her arms on Dion''s neck, resting her elbows on his shoulders from behind while her cheek brushed on his cheek. "Isn''t uncle James so sweet. He is looking so handsome even at this age. Aunt Liz is already so beautiful. They both really look good together. You know, I saw this coming Di. I wonder if bro Xander is also watching this right now. This video is proof that uncle James''s coyness when courting women is fadeless¡­" Rizie mumbled with a giggle. Dion was highly distracted with Rizie''s gesture and he turned his head to face her. Rizie''s eyes met his. His gaze swept down on Rizie''s lips and without a warning captured her open lips with his own. Both did not mind their uncomfortable position as long as their lips were locked together. Dion slowly pulled Rizie''s petite body on the couch and made her sit on his lap to make her more comfortable and deepen his kiss with her close proximity.. No one among them wanted to break the passionate kiss and gradually both of them were getting carried away in the lingering passion. They both were longing to get intimate with each other and their kiss was breaking the chains of restraint that held them back. "Lets go and eat," Dion whispered huskily, breaking the kiss in between. "Uhuh¡­ noo" Rizie answered with a m.o.a.n and pulled him back. She didn''t want the kiss to break and they continued because none dared to pull back first now. They were both yearning for more and plain kissing was not enough to quench their thirst now. Their hands started to move on their own, touching and caressing each other''s body. Rizie started unbuttoning Dion''s long sleeved shirt while Dion''s hands were already inside Rizie''s shirt, groping her and caressing her back and soon he unhooked her bra. Not very long, both were already topless. Rizie arched her body as Dion''s lips first pulled back from hers to attend to her neck next, leaving hickeys and making her squirm in desire and then went to her b.r.e.a.s.t. He made her go mad whenever he did that¡­ Teasing and playing with her tits, making her release soft m.o.a.ns of pleasure. If they continued further, Rizie would not want him to stop. She was too ready to surrender herself wholly to the man she loved without hesitation. "Take me now¡­" she offered in her firm tone followed by sweet m.o.a.ns as Dion teased her peaks with his teeth and tongue. Dion paused and met her eyes when he heard her words. He was burning with desire and unwavering passion. Rizie moved her fingers to caress his bare chest, not leaving his gaze for a second¡­ Then her fingers trailed up to Dion''s lips and the latter subconsciously sucked it in his mouth, making Rizie gasp and more aroused. *Ding * Dong * Ding The intimate moment between the couple was interrupted by the buzzing of Rizie''s doorbell. "You''re expecting someone?" Dion asked in panic. "No!" Rizie quickly answered and jumped out from Dion''s lap to pick-up Dion''s shirt on the floor and threw it at him to wear. "Get dressed quickly!" She mumbled and immediately put her shirt on. *Ding * Dong * Ding Rizie cursed because the buzzing of the doorbell would not stop and she knew who it could be. There was only one person who loved to push her doorbell and annoy her; it was none other than her nosy neighbor and sister Lyra. "I''m coming," Rizie grumbled and quickly opened her door. "What took you so long? I brought you dinner." Lyra said and directly strode to the dining area. "Oh you have already cooked? You have a visitor?" Lyra asked seeing two plates were prepared on the table. "Dion is also here, he is sitting in the living area. Give me that and I''ll serve it. Call him and let''s eat dinner together." Rizie said. Her big sister Lyra would always drop by her unit whenever her husband was out. "What''s wrong with your shirt? How come you are wearing it''s design at the back? The back is at front?" Lyra asked. Rizie flinched and quickly defended, "Oh¡­ I did not notice. Sis go and call Dion now. He must be starving. Lyra''s brow raised as she had a suspicious grin plastered on her face. She chose to let her little sister go this time so she could start teasing in front of Dion. Lyra excitedly went to the living area to greet her future brother-in-law and call him out for dinner. Rizie immediately cursed when she realized she was not wearing her bra and that must be somewhere in the living room, so she ran towards the living room. "Forgot these?" Lyra was grinning at her while her bra was in her hand. She looked at Dion who was too red because of embarrassment. Dion himself was caught off guard too and didn''t even know what to say when Rizie''s sister noticed the bra beside him. He was too busy with his own buttons that he failed to notice it. Rizie''s face crumpled and she immediately grabbed it from her sister''s hand who laughed hard. "Be grateful your brother-in-law is absent or else he won''t stop bullying you until you cry and beg him to¡­" Lyra teased as she walked past Rizie. "Little sis¡­ I''m easier to please than your brother-in-law you know¡­" Lyra added with a grin. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She looked at the clock and panicked because there were only thirty minutes left for her to get ready and she still had to apply her make-up. She quickly moved and finally picked one of her designer dresses that she liked a lot. The dark maroon low cut dress was an elegant combination of fashion and style. She then applied a very light make-up before going down in a rush because she did not want James to wait for too long. She saw James was already waiting for her in the living room and was dressed in one of his casual outfits. He was talking to her father about his chain of hospitals and Xander. Liz gasped as her love struck heart raced when she saw the handsome figure sitting there, her cheeks flushed and she thought, ''Geez¡­'' She was scolding herself for holding on her breath like a teenager who saw her crush at the campus. James was in his fifty eight years and yet he looked dashing and young at his age. His slim but well sculpted figure showed how much he took care of himself with regular exercises to keep him fit and lean. Liz''s face reddened as she gently patted her cheeks to control her blushing. Jame''s gaze went to hers and their eyes met. ''Oh God!'' another gasp escaped from Liz when James gave her an ear to ear smile and stood up from his chair. She timidly walked towards him and she heard him whisper, "You look so gorgeous." Old Master Chen shook his head with a broad smile on his lips. He was pleased to see his only daughter in bloom, though it was a bit delayed in her life yet¡­ he was happy that things happened, better late than never. "You two enjoy and have a great day. Don''t worry about me I will sleep early tonight and won''t even wait for you to come home," Old Master Chen teased with a grin. "Dad!" Liz''s wide eyes scolded but her playful father only answered her with a shrug and even signaled her and James to leave already. "Don''t waste time and off you go. Shooo.." He said wiggling his cane to send them away that instant. Liz bit her lip when she felt James hand grab her and pulled her out after bidding farewell to her father. The tingling feeling where his hands touched were a new experience for her and her entire body felt light tremors of electric current when his thumb grazed the back of her hand. She wondered what was actually making her heart flutter like a teenage girl... ''What an amazing feeling?'' Liz inwardly thought as she looked at her hand that James still held in his own, even when they were inside the backseat of the car. Liz couldn''t believe that she had missed simple things like these in her life. She wasn''t even aware that simply holding hands together could feel that great too. They went to one of the biggest malls in the city, to watch a cinema together. "Hmm, so... what do you want to watch?" James asked while his eyes moved around to look at the screens to check out the movies currently playing in the theatres. "I want to watch a horror thriller so that I have a reason to hold on to you while watching the entire movie," Liz voiced out without her knowing that made James laugh out hard. "You can hold me anytime and anyhow, even when we watch drama, romance or comedy movies and even when we are not watching movies¡­ am all yours to hold now... I really won''t mind," James teased, finding Liz''s reaction too cute and adorable. Liz and Dion together were like siblings and not mother and son because Liz, at the age of fifty were incredibly young looking and stunning probably because she was a bubbly person who loved to smile. At this moment, realising her charm has captured him completely, James felt so lucky and blessed for having a chance to meet such an exceptional person like her. "Let''s watch that. I still prefer horror so it''s more convincing to get more clingy¡­" Liz muttered in a jest but she was sure James knew her well enough by now that most of the jokes she played were usually her way of lightly expressing herself and what she truly meant. James only grinned at her brazen words as he bought the tickets and their drinks. He could feel an indescribable emotions rising in his heart, something he had not felt for over a decade, all that he buried with his wife Kanya, Liz was able to stir up those emotions in him Inside the dark cinema, Liz''s mind was going wild with various thoughts. It was her first time watching a movie in the cinema with a man and she had heard a lot of things that could happen in the theatre... like her first kiss? ''Oh James will be the second since Dion''s father was my first kiss. I almost forgot!'' Liz thought. The movie had started already and in the first scene itself Liz almost jumped out of her seat with fright if not for Jame''s holding her so firmly in his arms. "That really surprised me," she defended with pouty lips and she heard James chuckle. "Then I shall take this opportunity to hold you like this until the end I guess for you not to jump from your seat since you get startled so fast¡­" Liz heard James huskily breathe in her ear. How she thanked the darkness inside the cinema to hide her for sure rosy cheeks at that time. Jame''s warm breath was making her shiver. ''Aren''t I too old for this kind of feeling?'' she assessed in doubt but then she was really feeling such, so she guessed she was still allowed to feel those kinds of feelings at her age. Meanwhile, James felt very comfortable with Liz''s warmth in his arms, so much so that he did not want to let her go despite the uncomfortable position he was sitting in. The movie was really scary and he could not help but laugh whenever Liz would cringe in his arms. Liz crumpled her face and tilted her head up to look at James as she confronted him in whisper, "What? What''s funny there? Isn''t it too scary for me to be afraid?" "Because you''re too cute." James answered in whisper also but Liz could not hear so she moved closer and asked, "What?" It was a bit dark and so Liz did not notice that she had moved her head so close that her lips touched the corner of Jame''s lips. "Ohh sorry," Liz whispered in embarrassment and was about to quickly abort but James firmly held her nape. Unexpectedly, Liz felt James move and the next thing she knew was there were a pair of soft lips crushing hers¡­ ''OMG!'' Liz wanted to scream out loud, she even secretly pinched herself to make sure that she was not hallucinating. James Yang was kissing her for real!!! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yera murmured as she and Xander enjoyed fishing while they were onboard one of Ryu''s private yachts. Yera and Xander chose to do activities that were relaxing because they were planning to have a baby so most often than not they would just walk around the area, swim and enjoy the breathtaking views while reading books or chatting about various things. "Yes indeed. Now your brother is my brother too, not just a brother-in-law. Geez, we''re growing in numbers and it''s indeed overwhelming¡­" Xander commented happily while he moved on his side to face his wife to lovingly touch her belly. "I hope I didn''t miss this time¡­ Hehe¡­" Xander grinned and looked at their fishing rod that was still not moving. Yera blushed and whispered, "Hopefully¡­ But we will still have a lot of time once you come back so you have to promise me that you will come back for me and keep yourself safe." "Of course I will, so don''t worry too much and have a great time with dad and aunt Liz on this island soon. I heard the Kens will also visit you here soon¡­" Xander reassured and touched Yera''s cheek and gently caressed it before grabbing her hand and kissed it. "Our family is being blessed with so many wedding ceremonies, some done, some to happen¡­ and guess what I heard just a while ago¡­" Xander added. "Rui is in a dilemma." Xander started with a laugh recalling how troubled Rui was. "His father had set him into an arranged marriage forcefully and guess who it was?" Xander muttered. "I hate guessing," Yera complained as she moved sideways and faced her husband who seemed to be enjoying the fact that Rui was in a dilemma. "Well, it''s Cali that his father set him up with. The funny thing is, Cali had given him an offer that''s good enough for Rui to consider." Xander added. "That girl likes giving offers to everyone¡­" Yera commented recalling how Cali offered to Dion when her grandfather forced her earlier. Xander laughed and excitedly told her wife how Rui was complaining on the other line. "That''s so easy for him. Why can''t he just turn it down. Rui is capable enough and can live on his own." Yera commented. "That''s what I said but Rui has always been a very obedient son. He always wants to please his father, so he will inevitably agree on it and accept Cali as his partner. His plan right now is to leave to some other place while they are engaged because he thinks Cali is too young to be tied down in a relationship so early in her life. So he will let Cali bloom first and enjoy her youth while he wanders around the world." Xander narrated. Yera''s face creased, confused she asked, "You mean he will still be forced to marry Cali in the end?" Xander had a smirk plastered on his face and commented, "You know darling¡­ I know Rui very well. We grew up together and I can practically read his thoughts. Though he is a loyal son and an obedient one on top of that, he will never agree to something if he himself does not find it to his liking. Rui is a calculative person behind his jokes and smiles. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve so in short it is too easy for him to get out of that arranged marriage if he wanted to¡­ I think he is into Cali but is unable to accept it somehow." "I thought I saw something between him and Dr. Yao¡­ the way they always bickered and he kept her under his watchful eyes..." Yera could not help but voice out. "Hmmm¡­ He is afraid of her I think. Hahahaha." Xander answered with a loud laugh. "And you?" Yera asked with raised eyebrows. "Me? I''m also too afraid of her, you know because of her I always get into trouble with the only woman I love. Geez, I''m even traumatized recalling how you punished me because of her. Can we change the topic now darling, I don''t even want to recall those traumatic days?" Xander pleaded because just hearing the word ''Dr. Yao'' seemed to be a plague to him. Yera chuckled seeing how grumpy her husband was so she pinched his cheek and said, "So sulky¡­ I was just playing with you." "Ohhhh¡­ The fishing rod string is moving!!!" Xander blurted out and immediately stood up from his seat. But the couple were startled as Regan''s men surrounded them suddenly. "Sir please get inside!!!" shouted Regan and a few men moved to cover Xander and Yera. "What''s going on?" Xander asked, a bit alarmed but he tried to ask calmly seeing his wife''s panicked expressions. He felt their yacht start to move. "A yacht was heading towards our territory without warning so we have to head back while the patrol checks everything¡­" Regan explained because it was said that their patrol warned the yacht to stop but it was not stopping at all. Yera suddenly paled and got nervous. Xander noticed it so he immediately embraced his wife for comfort. "It''s just nothing I''m sure¡­ Probably a tourist who got lost in an open ocean darling." Xander whispered. "Don''t worry the patrol would take care of it and no one would be allowed inside that easily." Regan reassured, seeing the worried Miss. "I thought I almost caught a blue marlin¡­ Geez those intruders jinxed my fishing. How dare they," Xander jested to lighten up his wife''s weariness because he could feel the sudden coldness on Yera''s hands and body despite the hot weather. He felt Yera inhaled and exhaled exasperatedly before whispering, "how about we just stay inside the mansion. There are a lot of indoor activities there¡­" "Hm, that''s a brilliant idea darling¡­ Let''s actually stay inside our room only the whole week instead¡­" Xander jested more. He felt Yera gently hit his chest and muttered, "You''re full of jokes¡­" Xander chuckled and pinch Yera''s cheeks. "And you darling worry too much and easily get nervous¡­" All the more Xander thought that his decision to leave Yera behind would be the best¡­ He would be out as the target often, and he could then not afford being with Yera and seeing her worry that much¡­ Xander hugged his wife while he looked in Regan''s direction who looked serious while talking to his men on the radio. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He went into the control room of the mansion where Regan was. "Who were they?" Xander directly asked. "Just a couple on their honeymoon. Their yacht has a problem. They are from the nearby island. The tugboat is now towing the yacht back." Regan explained. "Don''''t worry¡­ No one could enter Plumeria island that easily¡­" Regan was reassured because he was aware that the couple was in danger and was hiding at his Boss'' Ryu''s strictly guarded island for safety. "Thanks Regan," Xander muttered and tapped Regan''s shoulders before leaving the control room. Xander''s own security team was outside and he instructed them to coordinate well with Regan. He wanted full protection for Yera and his family once he left. Xander sighed because he only had a few more days. When he was back in their room, he saw Yera sitting on the bed, crouching. "Darling¡­ Do you want to play Jenga?" said Xander as he quickly arranged the board game on the floor. Yera stood up and sat down crossed legged beside her husband as she watched him arrange the blocks. While Xander was building up the blocks into a tower, he reassured Yera that there was nothing to get worried about and it was just a tourist''s yacht from another island that had a technical problem. "Is there a possibility to get photos of those tourists?" Yera mumbled, for some reason she still felt uneasy. Xander chuckled and said, "Yes don''t worry, they have taken copies of their IDs and have already confirmed their identities." He heard another distressed sigh so Xander purposely messed up Yera''s hair. "Darling, let''s ask each other a question before we remove a block. I will ask first before you remove a block." Xander suggested then continued, "What was your first impression the first time you saw me?" "Annoying." Yera simply answered and proceeded to remove a block. "For real?" Xander gasped in disbelief. Yera chuckled and added, "Yeah, stubborn, persistent and annoying. You said to give an honest answer¡­ So I did. Well, for a moment I also thought you''re Bernard who had come back to life¡­" Xander pouted his lips and muttered, "My turn ask me a question." Yera grinned and said, "How about me? What was your first impression of me?" Xander had a wide smile¡­ ''It''s payback time,'' he thought as he quickly said, "Ice queen. insensitive and grumpy." Yera did not comment because it was true. She just moved and focussed on removing a safe block. "Wait, what will happen if the blocks crumble?" Yera asked. "A slave must follow whatever it is the master wants. Just as simple as that¡­" Xander replied with a mischievous grin "Ohhh I see¡­" Yera nodded with a determination to win. She still had days to keep her husband enslaved if she won, and that would be total fun. Xander smiled as they continued because Yera was thoroughly enjoying the game and her face had brightened up already with her anticipated win and she was fully focussed in making sure that the blocks would not crumble down whenever it was her turn to remove a block. It was Xander''s turn and he looked extremely focused but in reality he purposely made a mistake while removing a block, making the entire tower fall on the floor. Yera jumped out on her and screamed, "I won!!! Yeye¡­" Xander intentionally showed his displeasure and scratched his head, acting like he was not happy at losing. "Can we play one more like the first three?" Xander asked. "No¡­" Yera firmly asked. She stood up and crawled on the bed. "Come here and give me a good massage¡­" Yera mumbled but at that time Xander''s mobile phone rang. Xander put it on speaker phone seeing it was Dion. "Hey Dion..." "How are you guys there?" Dion asked. "We are enjoying¡­ Don''t worry bro. Oh wait¡­ By the way, how are you going to address me now? Big Brother or Brother-In-Law?" Xander teased on the other line that made Yera chuckle. "How about I call you by your name, Xander? You''re just a year older than me so maybe it''s better to just say Xander?" Dion answered with a cringe face. "Well, it''s up to you, as long as you behave like an obedient younger brother I will be good to you, since I''m also your brother now¡­ But if you try to be a little smart with me then I know how to bring you back on track," Xander bantered then added, "How about giving some free time to Rui and let you take care of Yang Globals too? You are capable enough¡­ right... Work out on the merger¡­" "Oh God no¡­" Dion pleaded and Xander laughed. "I don''t want to get divorced even before getting married BRO so please NO. I''ll call you brother, big brother... so be good to your little Bro, okay? Take care of your little innocent brother properly and don''t exert too much work on this poor little thing," Dion begged on the other line because managing Life Hospitals group alone was not an easy task alone for a rookie like him. "But I must say¡­ Your genes really come from uncle James¡­" Dion teased. "Hah! You better practice calling him father or dad from now on or else he will get sulky and he loves to punish his son¡­" Xander scolded. Yera chuckled every once in a while hearing all the bantering between the two of them. They continued teasing and talking the same way for a while and Yera''s mood lightened listening to their talks. "Hang in there Bro. Everything is well here so don''t worry and just enjoy your stay there." Dion said before bidding his farewell to the couple. "Where were we again darling?" Xander asked with a mischievous smile as soon as he kept the phone. "Please prepare a relaxing bath. I will try to give you a good massage like what you did to me. I need more practice¡­" Yera muttered with a grin seeing how Xander''s face crumpled. Why? Because his wife sucks at giving a massage, and she was so rough and presses wrong pressure points as well making your body end up aching badly. "Darling¡­ How about I give you the massage instead? I thought that''s what you initially requested." Xander tried to convince his wife but Yera nodded. "Yeah but I have now changed my mind. Why? Are you complaining?" Yera mumbled with knitted brows. "No Master!" Xander answered and immediately went into the bathroom to prepare the relaxing tub. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was even more surprised to know the reason behind the sudden visit of Cali at his office. "Hi Dr. Dee, I brought you lunch so you won''t have to go out. You see, I''ve been learning to cook lately to quench my boredom. Grandfather is too busy nowadays in helping Dion with matters at Life Hospitals that he doesn''t even have time to taste what I make, so I thought to come over and ask you to do the tasting. Just try a bite and if you do not like the food then we can go out to dine." Cali explained in a row while she prepared the table in Rui''s office. Rui was speechless and just said, "This is so sudden Cali¡­" "Yes I know, I am sorry about dropping by suddenly like this. But I had already checked with aunt Jean and she said that your schedule today is not very tight¡­" Cali answered with a grin. She liked Rui''s assistant. She heard that she was also like a mother to Rui and found Jean very nice and accommodating. Rui gulped because he could now realise that Jean liked Cali seeing she let Cali invade his space. Rui smiled at Cali and rose out of his chair to join her on the couch. He felt touched by simple gestures like this. Someone who actually took time to bring him self-cooked food and take care of him was something new for him to experience. It was the first time that anyone tried to show adoration towards him and he couldn''t help but appreciate this gesture of Cali in his heart. "You didn''t have to bother though¡­" he whispered while he watched Cali put the food in his bowl. "I told you I''m bored at home and this is my time pass. It''s just a friendly gesture and don''t think ahead like I''m doing this to get you to fall for me hard, alright. I mean we have an agreement, and it would be best if we can know each other well and become friends too. So I am trying to know a little more of you." Cali explained. She tried not to stutter. Of course she had other motives but what she said was also true. She wanted to start off as close friends at least and know each other more as time goes by. Rui was silent because he himself had his own plans. Yes he did agree with Cali but after everything had been settled on Xander''s side, he would soon leave Cali without a warning and give her time to understand her real feelings. Because he thought it would be best in their current situation as Cali was a very naive girl who could be impulsive. He did not want Cali to hold onto him. He wanted her to spread her wings since she was still young. He wanted her to experience a lot of things while he was not around. That way, Cali could decide wisely whether to end the engagement or not because as long as he would be around her¡­ Cali would definitely hold onto him. "Try it.." Cali murmured as soon as he had the bowl and the chopsticks. Rui did¡­ Cali kept staring at him without blinking and eyebrows arched up, waiting for his reaction on her cooking. Rui could not help but grin inside, seeing the frustrated expression of Cali. ''She''s really a cute girl.'' he inwardly thought, amused with Cali''s frowning. "What?" Cali impatiently asked because Rui ate another spoonful as if trying his best to double check on the taste. "What''s this¡­ You''re not commenting anything at all. Is it that bad? Leave it, let''s just go out and eat somewhere outside." Cali mumbled, feeling a bit disappointed at the thought that the food tasted bad or was not to his liking. She stood up from her seat and was about to go when she felt Rui grab her wrist and she was pulled back on the couch. Cali was caught off guard while she felt her heartbeat palpitating erratically once more. She cursed as she tried to remain calm and composed because it was just a freaking wrist that Rui held for that short period. "I was just joking¡­ Why are you so impatient¡­ Of course it tastes good. You should have guessed that since I took another bite," Rui muttered, grinning. Cali crumpled her face and with pouted lips said, "Nanny Shine also said it tasted good but whatever I do it''s always good to her so I don''t trust her jurisdiction that well. Hmm, Rui... how about I bring you lunch every now and then if you''re not busy. Will you mind being my taster?" Rui noticed the excitement in Cali''s voice so he nodded. It could be a great help to Cali and she would start going out instead of always staying inside her house. "How about you visit friends too Cali like you usually did." Rui murmured and prepared a bowl for Cali''s meal to join him. "Yup I will soon see Shane after lunch¡­" Cali answered with a bashful smile. Shane was her best friend who was out of the country for a long time. She was arriving today so she would be going personally to pick Shane at the airport. After a while, Cali already left Rui''s office since the latter had a meeting soon and she then headed towards the airport directly. She was waiting at the greeting area for Shane to come out when she heard a man''s voice coming from behind. "Cali?" It was a very familiar voice. Cali turned and her face cringed seeing it was Josh standing there. "What are you doing here?" Josh asked, a bit startled seeing Cali out because the last time he saw her was when she was too adamant on not going out. "I am here to pick up a friend of mine." Cali simply answered. Josh nodded and stared at her shawl. He had come to drop his mother and stepfather off for their vacation and he seemed to be lucky to accidentally bump into Cali at this point. While they were talking he suddenly felt his ears almost deafened hearing a woman scream not very far from him. "Caliiiiiiiii¡­ Oh God you bratty ass! Oh God, thank God you''re alive," yelled the woman who approached Cali with a tight hug and even lifted up Cali for a swing. He saw Cali was crying as she muttered, "Shane! What took you so long! I hate you!" Josh gulped because he thought he was seeing a romantic moment between two same s.e.x people at that gesture. ''Do women have that kind of closeness?'' he thought staring at the woman who also looked elegant and beautiful but had a somewhat strict demeanor and harsh voice. He blinked several times staring at the two women and was more shocked when he saw the other woman cupped Cali''s face lovingly while Cali''s arms were still wrapped on the woman''s face. "Look at you¡­ You lost so much weight dumbass! I should scold nanny Shine later¡­" the woman whom he heard being called Shane by Cali remarked before kissing Cali''s cheeks and pulled Cali once more into a tight hug. Cali remembered Josh was still there so she wiped her tears and then introduced Shane to him. "Oh this is that bully man!" Shane exclaimed with a twitched face and added looking at Josh, "How about let''s all have a cup of coffee together so I can bully you ten folds on behalf of my sister¡­" Josh gulped seeing the evil grin on Shane''s face while looking at Cali''s who seemed to be pleased seeing him got pale. "That''s a good idea. Let''s go Josh¡­ We will treat you today," Cali muttered. ''Treating me for a coffee or you two are planning to join hands to kill me on the spot!'' Josh quietly thought while he prepared himself to run away but his arms were forcefully caught from both sides and he was dragged by the two women towards the coffee shop with mischief written on their faces. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Thank you Dr. Yao. CEO Yang would be pleased to know that you would be cooperating and are so helpful." Ron said on the other line. "No worries Ron. Please also send me the photos and profile of Mara. I want to check and see her too. I will contact you as soon as I''m back in the country," Dr. Yao said and ended the call soon enough. "Where is Dr. Yao?" Shan, who also became curious about the look alike case she heard from Rizie, asked as soon as the call ended. "She is on a family vacation she said but she was willing to send her sample to ma''am Keira, so they could check her connection with Mara." Ron answered as he prepared the table for dinner. "Rizie told me they are really like identical twins, but they found Mara on an isolated island so how is that even possible?" Shan concluded. Like Rizie, her interest was too piqued up about those two women because it was exactly like in dramas where Mara could be a missing or abducted child or something. Ron laughed seeing the anxious look of Shan who tried her best to come up with a better conclusion. "You and Rizie should stop wasting your brain cells thinking about it¡­ Let ma''am Keira, Dr. Yao and Mara solve the puzzle. You both should focus on assisting Mr. Dion properly because he''s still very new in this role¡­" Ron scolded because he heard that Dion was having a hard time in handling everything. Shan sighed and said, "I know right. We are not as competent as you so CEO Dion is really struggling a lot unlike Boss Xander and Boss Rui." It was true, both Shan and Rizie were so unlike her husband Ron who was too competent and very reliable to be left alone as an officer in charge while CEO Xander was away. "Let''s eat and talk later. Don''t sulk there¡­ I''m more experienced of course, so don''t compare yourself and Rizie with me. You two will surely learn very soon and be better than me after a few more years in the company besides you know I''m almost always with CEO Xander at all times¡­" Ron encouraged and filled Shan''s plate with food. Shan sighed and started to eat. After eating, she stood up to clean and wash the dishes. Her thoughts were still about Dr. Yao and Mara then shifted on how she could help their Boss Dion like how Ron was doing at Yang Globals group for Xander and Rui. She should take a special lesson and tutorial from her dear husband on the ways to deal with all the work in the office. She hurriedly wrapped up the kitchen work to follow her husband into the living room where he usually still does some of his work. "Let me join you¡­" Shan muttered as she took her laptop and slumped on the floor alongside her husband. Ron had a study area so she did not understand why Ron always preferred to sit in the living room for doing his office work, so she asked him. "I''m more comfortable slumping on the floor like this and working, resting my back on couch legs spread in front like this and my head resting like this whenever I get tired," Ron explained by leaning on the couch and leaning his head on where he was supposed to sit. "But you can also do the same in your study room. The chair there is more comfortable," Shan murmured, not convinced with Ron''s explanation.. "Hmm, well maybe because of flexibility? I mean I can work anywhere so I probably got used to uncomfortable positions?" Ron explained further. Shan was finally convinced, recalling how Ron had the back of his car converted like a bedroom office too. Ron watched his wife who, like him, started working on her laptop¡­ ''She looks so adorable.'' Ron thought and was tempted to pounce on her and wrap her petite body in his arms. Shan noticed him staring at her so she asked, "Why? What happened?" Ron, with a serious face, signalled with his finger and instructed her, "Come here." Shan, although confused, followed. She put her laptop down and crawled towards her husband who unknowingly got aroused with the way she crawled on him. Shan''s face was close to Ron as she asked, "What happened?" Ron lifted the corners of his lips up and pulled her closer and she ended up falling on his lap. Shan grinned when she finally got what her playful husband wanted. "Do you wanna do it here?" Shan whispered while she rested her arms on his shoulders. Ron pursed his lips and lifted her up while he sat on the couch. "Let''s do it on the couch silly¡­ The floor will be very uncomfortable." She heard Ron murmur while he began to shower her with sensual kisses. "It''s okay¡­ I really don''t mind as long as I''m entangled with you," Shan answered with a giggle. The tingling sensation was starting to engulf her body when Ron''s hand went inside her shirt. "Ron," she m.o.a.ned his name to tell him something. "Huh?" Ron asked, too busy in caressing her mounds. "I have started to take pills because I think it''s not a good time to have a baby¡­" Shan informed him because she often forgot to tell Ron about it. She felt Ron stop and gently pulled her. "Why not?" Ron asked in disbelief. He wanted a baby soon. Shan gave him an awkward smile while she said, "Let''s wait a little more? Until everything is fine. I feel like it won''t be a good timing to conceive given that we are both extremely busy with our companies. We have the rest of our lives to plan a baby so I think it''s better not to have it right now." Ron heaved a long deep sigh understanding Shan''s point. "Alright¡­" Ron muttered. He should wait for everything to go back to normal soon. He decided he should pester Ralph more to make sure to catch the bad guys soon! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

James was contacted by Lucas and he gave him the place and time to meet Ester Chang. "Are you nervous?" Liz asked, feeling James'' hand that was holding hers was a bit cold than usual. James smiled and said, "Sorry it''s a bit sweaty right?" "Yeah and sticky too¡­" Liz seconded with a grin. James was about to pull his hand away but Liz held it tightly and murmured, "I''m just joking. Relax hon¡­ Everything will go well. I trust Lucas. He has assured our safety so no need to worry." James felt warm with her presence and a comforted grin danced on his lips when she used the word hon to address. He tightly held her and nodded at her. The car stopped at the meeting place¡­ They were at one of the well known art galleries in the capital city that was owned secretly by the Quan clan and had a secret room for special meetings of the Quan Clan. This room was being used for confidential meetings and James was grateful that they let it get exposed to him and Ester so that the two could meet. James and Liz went inside. They saw many visitors inside who were apparently art lovers. Lucas had already instructed James on how he could proceed to the secret room using the restroom as one of the passages. The secret room had a few entries and one of the entries also was from another building for people who didn''t want to appear in the same place to meet. This kind of setup was very meticulously built for maintaining secrecy as well as assuring the safety of the involved parties. Liz was left behind in the gallery to look around the art pieces as James went into the restroom where one of the Quan Clan''s members was disguised as a janitress. James went in a particular cubicle at her signal and counted the tiles on the wall and pressed a pattern and the door covered with tiles suddenly opened swiftly. He immediately stepped inside and closed that secret door and walked into the passage as instructed by Lucas. There were other passages that probably led to other rooms or locations. He went as instructions were given to him and turned left after walking for 5 minutes and then turned at the second right after another 5 mins. After walking for a few more minutes he saw a door with special characters as told by Lucas and James entered that door. "Hello James¡­ I''m Lucas." a man of probably the same age as him was sitting on the sofa and he extended his hand and introduced himself. James accepted his hand and thanked the man for his great help. Lucas smiled and said, "It was nothing. My father had been trying to maintain the peace between Clans before me, but it was too impossible because of Yun and Marcus¡­ So we want to help you guys to bring them down and restore peace." Lucas looked at his watch¡­"Ester is supposed to arrive in the next three minutes." he muttered. While waiting, Lucas briefed James with things he knew about Yue Clan. "There are four siblings of the main King. Kanya''s father is the oldest then Ester followed. Years passed and their father kept a mistress and the woman gave birth to Marcus and Yun. You see, there was a big age gap between Ester and Marcus. Marcus is just about your age and Yun is a year younger than Marcus. When the proposal of allocation of power came into question, that was when the conflict began in the family. In short, Marcus and Yun, neither of them are entitled to lead the clan." Lucas explained. Now, James could get a gasp of what was really goin on. Lucas said that Ester was a woman and was not killed since she could no longer bear a child when Marcus led the clan but her son was killed and her son''s wife went missing but was found dead too. She had a grandson but Ester faked the baby''s death for his safety and she lost him and still doesn''t know his whereabouts. "That... look¡­ I know it''s quite impossible to believe what I told you but everything is true. All this fight for power, the killings, everything is real in the Yue clan. We all clans like to keep our privacy intact and hence all the killings happened in disguise, probably most of the clan people are also unaware of these killings¡­ To be honest the only solution you have is for Ester to ask for an audience, where all clan leaders would be present. However, you will need to present a convincing evidence to prove her claim that the Yue Clan was eliminating everyone that had the real bloodline." Lucas continued. That was why James needed to meet Ester in person to convince her and join hands with her. They needed intel but the only safest way to coordinate with Ester was by meeting her directly. Lucas couldn''t be a medium since he could only visit Ester with Chad once because of the upcoming election as an alibi but doing it twice would be suspicious already. Passing messages to each other was not that easy either. "It looks like she will not be able to come today seeing that she''s already two minutes late. Go back to Liz¡­ I''m sure something came up urgently or she was tailed for her not to proceed. I will contact you should there be another opportunity. I''m sorry James." Lucas explained. James shook his head and said, "Don''t be Lucas. Helping us like this¡­ My son and I are more than grateful¡­" James went back and when he saw the green light on the spot where he came from he pressed the button to open the door to exit. He was back in the restroom and was washing his hands when a man entered. James dialed Liz''s number and said, "I''m sorry Liz¡­ My stomach is acting up on me. Is it okay if we leave soon and go back home instead. Where are you? I''ll be going out of the restroom now." It was just an act in case they were being tailed. James went to where Liz was and the two went out to go back in their car. Looking at James downcasted look and dropped shoulders, Liz no longer needed to ask the result. She grabbed James'' hand and gently pressed it. "It''s okay¡­ I''m sure at some other time everything will go as planned¡­" Liz instructed her driver to stop over at a pharmacy so she could buy a stomach medicine for James. It was instructed by Lucas because they were for sure being followed or monitored somehow. James watched Liz go out and sighed. His poor son¡­ his Xander¡­ His heart was aching badly hearing Ester''s story from Lucas and the thought that the same thing would happen to his son and his grandchild. "Oh God¡­" his lips were trembling in fear. He would do anything. He would beg Ester with bended knees just so she helped him for that audience Lucas was suggesting. He wanted to save his son¡­ Tears fell from his eyes but he quickly wiped it seeing Liz was now walking back to the car. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She immediately grabbed her mobile phone and sent a message to James. [I''ll be there in five minutes, if not, read this again¡­] Then Liz grabbed some ice cream from the fridge and quickly headed back to James'' room after five minutes. She knocked on the door and when the door opened she smiled and said, "Ice cream?" James smiled as Liz went in. Her text message made him chuckle too. Liz went directly to his balcony and gave him a bowl of ice cream as they sat beside each other. Liz heard James sigh so she grabbed the ice cream from him and fed him by her own hands instead. "Ahhh¡­Open your mouth so you can concentrate on sighing while eating the ice cream..." Liz said in a jest and James was obedient enough to follow whatever she said. "I don''t know how relaxing it is for men but eating sweets helps me so much in lightening up my mood and lessening my distress¡­ back then, I ate a lot of ice creams, cakes and desserts when I found out that I was pregnant with Dion and that his father was already married¡­ After eating a lot of ice creams and desserts for a few days my mind calmed down and I could think with a light heart. Then I decided to keep Dion and raised him on my own. I really had a rough time throughout. I bet all parents have a rough time raising their child though¡­" Liz narrated as she continued to feed James. "Dion grew up to be such a fine man¡­ And I''m sure he''s very proud of you¡­" James commented. "Yes¡­ Same with Xander. He''s definitely so proud of you James. You are doing your best for him. Do not fret because your son is strong and a fighter. We parents could not help but worry too much when our children are in danger. Even seeing a single scratch come on them can make our heart cringe in pain. I know you''re worried right now James and that''s natural¡­" "But I want you to know that, I will be here for you¡­ I''m always here to share your burden with. Whatever it is that''s in your mind or in your heart, you can always confide in me. Use my shoulder to cry on, if you need to. Don''t keep it in yourself because letting it all out will help you breathe better...." Liz added and she felt James'' head rested on her shoulder. She could feel his warm tears falling on her shoulders.She turned towards him and hugged him while she gently patted his back. "That''s okay¡­ Everything will be fine soon. Let''s keep on praying and trust God will be in control of all these things," Liz whispered and gently stroked James'' hair too. James felt warmly comforted, for so many years he did not realize that it would be much better if you have someone to share your problems and griefs with. He rarely ever cried because more often than not he tried to laugh and smile off all his problems. He felt his heart lighten as he cried all his pain out for the first time in comfort of someone''s presence. "Thank you¡­" he whispered to Liz while he sobbed. Liz continued to gently stroke his back. She loved to stay with James and it was a privilege for her to be his comfort at times like this. "How about we go and watch a comedy film in our mini theatre later?" Liz jested. James chuckled and jokingly answered, "How about another horror thriller film instead?" Liz reddened as she recalled what happened in the theatre recently. "You naughty¡­" she teased and continued to pat and stroke James back. James gently pulled out from her embrace. Liz raised her hands and wiped the remaining tears on his cheeks with the back of her fingers. "You feel better after crying?" Liz asked in a low and soft voice and James simply nodded. "You know, we can also try shouting at our mini golf yard if you want to vent out your frustrations¡­ I do that too. I even throw plates and cups and break them too sometimes¡­ Haha thinking they are my enemies, those bashers, who threw a lot of bad words at me and judged me like they knew me so well. Later, do you want to try it? You just think they are the bad guys who want to hurt Xander. Oh, I see boys try the baseball bat, and keep on hitting the ball thrown towards them, maybe that''s best suited for you since throwing plates are more for women like us¡­ Hehe." Liz suggested. James smiled and gently caressed Liz''s cheeks. "Thank you," he lovingly whispered. Liz wrinkled her nose and bashfully leaned in to give him a peck on his lips. "That''s nothing¡­ I want to do everything I can for you James. I love you¡­" Liz muttered. James kissed her forehead and pulled her in for a warm embrace. He was still a little hesitant in saying those words to Liz but in his heart, he could feel that there were more feelings towards her than just liking Liz, a deeper feeling¡­ "Shall we try the baseball bat thing next?" Liz muttered in excitement, seeing how James would flex his muscles. James chuckled, still hugging her tightly and savoring her sweet scent. "I don''t think that is needed. I feel much better now and besides¡­" James paused. "Besides what?" Liz asked. "Hmm, besides I prefer to watch a horror film with you¡­ for more cuddling and smooching!" James candidly whispered in her ears. Liz''s cheeks reddened because her heart couldn''t take such straightforwardness from him¡­ She was a bit shy but she managed to murmur, "Alright¡­ Let''s do that then. I prefer it too than watching you hit baseball balls. Cuddling and smooching sounds really better¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Riz, do you want to have a vacation at the beach before the wedding?" Dion asked. Rizie''s eyes widened as she answered, "Yes, yes, yes... are we going? When Where? But¡­ Wait¡­ I think we must wait a little more because now it might not be appropriate¡­" Dion chuckled seeing the excitement then a glimpse of hesitation in Rizie''s eyes, realizing the current hypersensitive mode they were both in when alone together...

Sis will be left alone at Plumeria and I heard uncle James¡­ I mean father and my mom will accompany her there as soon as bro Xander is back here, so I thought you might want to accompany sis there too?" Dion muttered. Rizie understood Dion''s sentiment and smiled. "Hmm sure¡­ I''m just worried that you will miss me so badly¡­" Rizie teased. "Yes of course, I actually prefer that you stay with me." Dion confessed. Rizie put down her food and cupped Dion''s face and turned him to face her. "But you''re worried about your sister right that sis Yera might get bored and worried there if she will be all alone. Don''t worry it''s really okay for me to go with her. How about you stay with me before I leave, so that you won''t miss me too much while I''m away?" Dion''s face twisted while he honestly disclosed, "I won''t be able to hold myself longer Rizie. If I stay with you alone, I''m afraid I will lose control." Rizie''s brows raised while she mumbled, "Who told you to restrain yourself? I told you many times, I''m so ready for it, besides we will get married soon." "Why don''t we do one thing? How about we copy Ron and Shan? They registered their marriage first. Well, we can get our marriage registered now while we wait for the wedding ceremony. That''s what sis and bro did too." Dion gulped. He actually thought of that as well, but was hesitating to suggest the same to Rizie since the wedding ceremony was nearing anyway. "Are you sure?" Dion asked in a husky voice to reconfirm and Rizie nodded with a smile. That day, as soon as the couple were done with lunch, they proceeded to the registrar''s office to register their marriage. It was so sudden for Dion and he was not prepared to handle post marriage arrangements. He simply could not understand where to go after registering their marriage. Even their supposed to be the couple room at Han''s mansion was still under renovation since he and Rizie wanted to do some changes before their wedding. "Where do you want to go," he asked Rizie. "Hmm, where else than to go back to the office remember you have a four o''clock meeting. "Ohh¡­" Dion breathed because he almost forgot about it thinking where he should best bring Rizie next since he wanted something special for her. Rizie knew what was going inside Dion''s head so she simply said, "Don''t think too much okay. Just being together is a special thing enough. We can just both stay at my condo for now. I will ask your butler to bring some of your important things and a few pieces from the wardrobe to my condo. I think it would be best to stay there for now while renovations are ongoing there." Dion secretly kept on looking at his wrist watch during the meeting. Rizie said she would go home first and cooked dinner so they could just have a simple celebration. His mind was a bit too busy in thinking about what to bring to Rizie later. He even asked for Shan''s opinion after the meeting for the gift and the latter plainly answered him with, "Bringing yourself alone to her would be enough for Rizie, sir. I mean Rizie seems to be not a materialistic type of woman. But if you don''t want to come home empty handed, maybe a love letter will do due to time constraint¡­" Yes, he had limited time and buying any gift for Rizie would take time because he wanted to give her something really good and unique. In the end, Dion stopped over at a flower shop and brought Rizie a good arrangement of colorful variants of flowers with his simple note in the card. Dion arrived at Rizie''s condo unit. He directly went inside and grinned seeing the darkness with just a glass candle serving as his pathway. The whole environment was very sensuous. There was an envelope on the floor right near his feet which he saw the moment he entered inside. He placed the bouquet of flowers at the side and picked it up and read it and he couldn''t help but to chuckle. [Remove your shoes and socks. Be careful not to drop them on the candles or we''ll both get burned literally before flaming on the bed instead.] Dion was grinning hard while he followed Rizie''s instruction. In the kitchen, he saw another note. [I can''t wait to be next to you so remove your shirt so I can feel and touch those fluffy abs¡­ Yum¡­] "Geez¡­ Is she stirring me up or bullying me?" Dion complained with a grin as he removed his upper clothes. He could feel his blood was already boiling in anticipation. Following the pathway of candles, he walked towards the living room and picked another note kept there. [Remove your pants also now, but leave your brief on because I want to remove it on my own with my teeth, mouth and a bit of hands perhaps¡­ Harrr!!!] Dion bit his lower lip and unconsciously growled at the thought of Rizie removing his underwear¡­ He cursed as he immediately removed his pants. He was already bulging just with Rizie''s teasing. He wanted to run inside Rizie''s room so he walked faster but paused when he noticed another note before Rizi''s door. He immediately picked it up and read. [What are you waiting for. Knock knock and go directly inside to claim your wife who loves you so much and wants you to take her so badly¡­ I can''t wait to make love to you all night long...] Dion gulped while his thirst for his wife worsened¡­ He immediately opened the door ready to attack her at that very moment. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She first decorated her condo unit with candles and rose petals as she wrote some naughty notes for Dion and placed them all for him to pick easily. She had long thought on how to make their honeymoon exciting so she was very much prepared except that of course she did not expect it to be in her condo unit but she did not mind. "This is it! The long awaited moment¡­" she mumbled with a giggle. When everything was ready she cooked a quick meal but she doubted if they would even feel the hunger later. Rizie squealed at her own silly thought. She would light the candles once Dion was almost near the area. Rizie immediately ran into her bathroom to clean herself well and jump into the lingeries her sister-in-law Keira gave her. She had gifted Shan the same because she got the idea from her sister-in-law who gave her the things but hers was different from Shan. Rizie wore her floral bouquet lingerie embroidered with gorgeous and oh-so bridal white lilies with a garter belt that looked so alluring and seductive on Rizie''s perfectly shaped body. For a touch of the bridal look¡­ Rizie put on an allover lace, floor-weeping beauty of a stunning white robe. "Perfect!" Rizie praised in satisfaction seeing her own reflection in the mirror after fixing her hair making them flow down on her shoulders, with a bit of messy style that made her look more seductive. She even pouted and bit her lips to practice her expression as soon as her husband arrived. She then proceeded further and set up an auto repeat of a sensual piece of the music on her music system too¡­ Soon, she got a call from Dion who was on his way to her apartment. She bit her lips unconsciously as she felt her heart begin to throb and her stomach crunched. After a while, she received a call from the lobby as soon as Dion entered the elevator to go to her floor. "This is it!" Rizie echoed as she positioned herself on the bedside of her bed. She sat with a s.e.xy pose, crossing her legs and exposing its smoothness. Her hands were leaning on the bed while she slightly arched her body exposing a bit of her cleavage. Not so long later the door opened and she saw her man rushing inside in his briefs. He paused seeing her on the bed. She could see his eyes blazing with flames of desires. Rizie gave him a seductive smile and whispered, "Come here¡­" Dion gulped while his breath ragged seeing how his wife was looking so hot at that moment. He moved and gasped when Rizie touched his chest with her playful fingers down to his brief. Rizie bent and Dion could feel her warm breath on his belly button. He growled when he felt her teeth screeching on the garter of his brief. He was dripping already when Rizie pulled it down with her mouth and hands. He could no longer take it so he immediately pulled her up to kiss her lips and quenched his thirst or else he would burst. Rizie worked her way to touch Dion while he kissed her. He was groaning where her hands tried to tug his hard shaft. It was damp already and she felt Dion stopped her hand. "You look so lovely¡­" Dion gasped in his hoarse voice as he began to lick and suck on her neck and touched her body as soon as her robe fell from her body, claiming each part of hers as his. Rizie m.o.a.ned when she felt his hand caress her b.r.e.a.s.ts that were still covered with a bra. He immediately removed it to feel her warmth. She arched her body when his tongue trailed his way down. "Ohhh¡­" Rizie m.o.a.ned, feeling Dion''s fingers teased her peaks then sucked it in his mouth. Her hands started to grab his hair for support as her body arched for more. Her husband never failed to do wonders in pleasing her hard peaks. She felt her body gently laid on the bed while Dion removed her remaining undergarments with his teeth then hands. Rizie was holding her breath as Dion''s mouth lowered. Her legs were on his shoulders and she groaned in ecstasy as his tongue started to lick her sweet folds. "I will make you scream love¡­" Rizie heard Dion whisper and Rizie bit her lips when she felt his tongue licking her small nub then sucking it alternately. She was already screaming his name in pleasure that her h.i.p.s were moving on its own, dancing with the fingers she felt Dion thrust inside her opening while his mouth was still taking care of her little nub. Soon Rizie''s body convulsed as she reached her first orgasm. She pulled Dion and begged, "I want you now¡­ please¡­ take me complete me Di..." Dion who was also dying to claim his wife immediately positioned himself between her thighs. "I will be gentle and tell me if you want me to stop." Dion whispered before he gently pushed his shaft inside Rizie''s tight opening. He paused hearing Rizie''s discomforted m.o.a.ns and feeling Riizie''s nails dug on his back. "Don''t stop¡­" he heard Rizie whisper as she pulled him down for a kiss before she arched her lower body to signal Dion to continue. Rizie felt the pain but the thought of uniting with her husband quickly replaced it with an overwhelming desire. She tightly wrapped her legs onto her husband and danced with his gentle rhythm that gradually accelerated. She was too wet while Dion continued to suck on her n.i.p.p.l.es alternately while each thrust of his shaft was giving her mixed pain and pleasure. They were both m.o.a.ning in pleasure and ecstasy¡­ Rizie reached her second pinnacle and Dion quickly followed¡­ Bodies both trembling while still entangled with each other. Both were catching their breaths as their lips met again¡­ "I love you¡­" the two whispered in chorus. Rizie hugged her now husband tightly and whispered, "We are now one¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Are you sure?" Josh burst out as he listened to his assistant''s report. "Have you investigated properly about that?" He reconfirmed and his assistant Leo nodded. Josh crumpled his face¡­ The owner of a villa not far from theirs had sold his villa to someone and Leo said that the new owners were planning to build a ranch too with hotel and resort just like the Lims'' "They still have a long way to stabilize themselves," Josh muttered with arched brows. "Do you want to see the new co-owners?" Leo asked, informing Josh that the said project was a business partnership between two people. "Are they around the area?" Josh asked and Leo nodded. "The project has already started and they are here to check how the renovations and constructions are going on." Leo explained. Josh immediately jumped in his car to go and have a quick look at things there. He reached the place in less than thirty minutes. Like their villa, that place was actually a very good spot to compete with them. He stepped out of his car to have a closer look at the things. The construction was ongoing as Leo said. He thought he really needed to prepare himself for the incoming competitors. His eyes narrowed when he saw a familiar figure not too far with a helmet on her head and was talking to one of the workers. "Cali?" he mumbled in shock as he blinked his eyes several times to make sure that he was not just hallucinating. "Isn''t she a real beauty and worth drooling?" Josh heard the voice not far from him and he unconsciously mumbled, "Yeah¡­" Then he realized what he said and also that the voice was familiar so he quickly turned at his side. He almost lost balance as he stepped back and terror crossed his face seeing the evil grin on the woman''s face. "You?!" he gasped in shock. "Yes me, bullyman¡­ Did you miss me?" Shane mumbled with a wink, enjoying the alarming and frightened look of Josh. Josh''s face paled. Shane was a beautiful woman but behind that mask of beauty hid a scary tomboy. Yes she was a tomboy who talked and moved worse than a man! "What''s happened to you? You look as if you''ve seen a monster. Do I look like one?" Shane asked with pouted lips and knitted brows. ''Yes you are! You *ss hitter!'' Josh wanted to yell recalling how the woman spanked his butt when he met her for the first time at the airport. She really treated him like he was a horse. Instead, Josh kept all his thoughts in his little heart and gave her a half smile. "By the way, wipe here¡­" Shane added signalling him to clean the corner of his mouth. Josh unconsciously touched it at the thought that there was something but he saw Shane giggled and whispered, "Right there¡­ A lot of smudge from drooling just by looking at Cali." Then a loud laugh followed that made Josh''s face turn crimson red. Josh immediately composed himself seeing Cali was approaching. Shane looked at him with sympathy while she shook her head. "Are you aware that Cali is now engaged to Dr. Rui Dee? A formal engagement ceremony will take place this weekend." Shane nonchalantly commented as she smiled to Cali who was waving at them. Josh''s face paled once more, hearing that information. Shane sighed, pitying Josh, she added, "Well¡­ I think it''s still possible between you two as long as they aren''t married, you might stand a chance. I haven''t met that Rui yet but I have heard a lot of good things about him from Cali¡­" "Why are you telling me all this?" Josh whispered, thanking that Cali stopped walking towards them to talk to another worker. "It''s because you look so pitiful? Well good luck bud¡­" Shane mumbled as Cali finally reached them. "Are you already that well enough to go out like this now?" Josh asked Cali in a worried tone when she reached near him. "Of course yes. By the way why are you here?" Cali casually asked. "I heard that a new villa resort like ours will be¡­ Wait¡­" Josh paused realizing the knowing look and meaningful exchange of glances from Cali and Shane. "You two are the business partners?" Josh grunted in disbelief. "So now you are spying on us?" Cali asked with a knitted brow. "The heck¡­ Why here of all places but? And why almost the same establishment as mine?" Josh complained. "Why not dude?" Shane scoffed. "Geez, stop calling me dude. It sounds so awful hearing it from a woman like¡­" Josh could not help but voice out. Looking at Shane who dressed like a prima donna like Cali. She talked in slang and it was irritating him. "What''s wrong with calling you a dude? I like it¡­" Shane teased, giving Josh a mischievous grin. "To answer your question why here, is simply because I find it nice here¡­ I noticed your family business is doing well and I happened to see this area was on sale so I thought why not ask my grandpa about this land and then convinced Shane to be my business partner since she''s a business admin graduate." Cali explained as she looked at the vast land with shimmering eyes. Josh sighed. The two girls were best of friends and claimed that they were blood sisters. ''Even in business they wanted to become sisters!'' Josh mused. "Shane¡­ You haven''t seen Josh''s villa right. Let''s go and visit his resort to get a few more ideas." Cali said as if Josh was invisible and could not hear their morbid plans. "Josh, show Shane your success and tell her how and what all you did in growing your business. Come on. Did you know how hard I have tried to convince her to partner with me in this business? I need her to get inspired by seeing your villa resort," Cali encouraged with a smirk seeing how Josh''s face soured. Josh''s eyebrows arched as he muttered, "My family will be happy to see you." "I hope so¡­ A few days ago I asked Rizie to explain to them my entire situation so¡­ I''m not sure if they will be happy to see me¡­" Cali whispered with a sad tone. "You mean they now know you''re not my girlfriend?" Josh reconfirmed and Cali nodded. No wonder his family suddenly was not pestering him about Cali. Meanwhile, Shane shook her head once more, looking at Josh. She knew the feeling in Josh''s heart right now, so she could not help but pity the man. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She moved a little and felt pain in her nether region and entire body. She was suddenly reminded of what all happened the day before and a sweet smile crept up on her beautiful face when she recalled her first night spent with her husband. The feeling of belonging and being one made her heart swell with happiness. "What time is it love?" she sluggishly whispered. They both were supposed to go to work early that day, but her entire body was sore and she felt too lazy to even open up her eyes. Dion heard the word love from her mouth early in the morning and instantly was filled with overwhelming emotions. His feelings for her ran deep in his heart and even after a night full of passion and making love with her several times, he still didn''t feel satisfied and wanted to stay stuck with her endlessly. He kept kissing her on her bare back and said in between his small kisses, "It''s already five in the morning. You better just rest in the bed some more. I have already informed Shan that you will be taking an off today. I think I have drained you too much..." Dion whispered. He wanted to get up and get dressed but seeing his sensual wife lying on the bed alongside him, her soft skin brushing against his and just the image of her without anything under those sheets was driving him insane. While he was so lost in his imaginations and kissing her, he heard her weak voice saying very sweetly to him, "Yeah you did drain me but I loved being drained by you my dear husband¡­ and i can feel that you''re planning to drain me some more again..." Rizie jested with eyes still closed as she turned around flat on the bed and hugged her husband who was too busy kissing her. She was too tired and sleepy but her husband was igniting fire inside her body that she could not help herself but answer his kissing and touching with her m.o.a.ning. She pulled him closer and deepened the kiss, savouring every inch of his mouth and enjoying every touch of his hands on her b.r.e.a.s.ts and back. Dion suddenly moved and took her left b.r.e.a.s.t in his mouth sucking the soft pink a.r.e.o.l.a and biting it gently making her hiss and then m.o.a.n in the painful pleasure. Dion spread her legs wide and sat in between to rub his hard erect shaft on her moist and sticky entrance, taking it up to her hard nub and sliding it back to her welcoming valley. Rizie was m.o.a.ning in pleasure and biting her lips in order to keep herself sane and not beg him to enter her and fill her with himself. Seeing her frustrated looks Dion smirked and asked in his husky voice, "Say that you want me inside." Rizie, who was waiting for his thrusts, looked at him with her requesting eyes and open wet lips. "I want you inside me love." she m.o.a.ned, obeying her husband''s order. Immediately Dion thrust his shaft deep in her and they both moved together to bring each other to the pinnacle of ecstasy. Rizie came first and Dion also immediately came inside her, filling her again with his liquids. Dion lied down, holding her in his arms. He was panting hard as he tried to bring his breathing to normal. Dion earlier thought of not disturbing her in the morning and just left the bed after giving her a kiss but he ended up doing more than that and took her once more, lured by the soft and tempting body of hers behind those sheets. He stayed with her for a while and then got up making her sleep in a comfortable position.He covered her with a comforter properly before he went to clean himself, took a bath and got ready to leave for the office. "Sleep more, and be fresh by the time I come back so that we can restart with our sessions my wife." he whispered before giving her a kiss on her forehead and hurrying up to leave for work or else he was afraid he would again be tempted to miss an important meeting just to stay with his wife under those sheets. When Rizie was finally awake, it was past noontime already. She smiled seeing a flower was kept on the other side of her bed. She was still sore from an overnight love making exercise, but it was worth it. She was aware Dion had left early because of an important meeting. Her husband was full of energy the entire night and he even made love to her once before leaving her snuggling in the bed to go to his office. She was so tired that she didn''t bother to get up when he left, but slept more. "He must have put this before leaving¡­" she thought as she sat on the bed and grabbed the flowers. "They''re so beautiful¡­" she whispered and noticed a card inside. [Our marriage happened so suddenly, so please forgive your husband for this plain present. These flowers are like your presence in my life¡­ because you bring colors in my dull life Riz. Thank you for taking me as your man. I know it was a struggle for you taking up that courage and I''m really grateful that you overcame that... Thank you for loving me back¡­ Thank you for marrying me... I love you Rizie... Let''s grow old together...] She grabbed her mobile phone to message Dion and giggled seeing she had an unread message from him. [I will be home as early as I can. Don''t skip meals... I have already cooked brunch for you, just heat it up and eat and... wait for me... I love you too much...] Rizie''s face reddened as she anticipated another passionate union once her husband arrived. "Ouch..." she cringed with pain as she moved out from the bed. She felt so sticky so she decided to wash herself first and then go to the kitchen to eat. As she stood up she felt her legs shiver and weak, and walking the first few steps were a task for her. She cursed her hyperactive husband for luring her again and again the whole night while going to the restroom directly. As soon as she was cleaned up. She walked out of the room and noticed that everything was already clean and tidy. "Wow such an efficient husband," Rizie muttered and a sweet smile crept on her glowing face. She then headed to the kitchen since her stomach was already in protest. Rizie heated the food and as she sat down to eat, the last night played like a movie in front of her eyes and involuntarily, she blushed deeply. She started missing her husband again and felt really lucky. "We would definitely grow old together, love." She mumbled before digging on the food her husband cooked. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Shane asked while she watched Cali bake some sweets and cookies for Dr. Rui Dee in their kitchen. Cali gave her a cute wink and several nods that made Shane laugh. "Yeah I shouldn''t even ask since it''s too obvious seeing you''re sparing a lot of efforts to please him and get his attention directed towards you." Shane commented because Cali was the most lazy type of person she had ever seen and would not often make efforts for anything since she could just ask her nanny or other helpers to do it. "I know right? I feel so inspired that I bother to do things with my own hands for him. It''s because I''m in love, Shane. I am really in love with him. Rui probably doesn''t feel the same way yet but I know he likes me¡­" Cali whispered. "Hmm, just the age gap between you both¡­ Anyway, we''ll see. Let me rate him once I meet him later. Isn''t he busy today?" Shane asked. "Aunt Jean said, he will be free for lunch so I called him to ask and he agreed to have lunch with us." Cali excitedly announced. "Haha¡­ Geez you even call the assistant aunt¡­" Shane teased. "Aunt Jean is like his second mother already. She''s not just an assistant but is very respected by him. She''s even more close to Rui than his real family." Cali mumbled while she put the cookies in the box. "How did you know all this? Did Rui tell you everything?" Shane asked as she tried a piece of Cali''s cookies. "Nope¡­ Aunt Jean told me his story¡­" Cali whispered and a glimpse of sadness reflected in her beautiful eyes. "She trusted you that easily?" Shane muttered and was about to get another one but Cali hit her hand. "Stop eating¡­ It''s for him. I''ll just buy you better ones, our favorite cake later¡­" Cali scolded that made Shane twitch her face. "I don''t like Rui!" Shane grumbled. Cali''s brow arched and asked, "Why?" "Because you forsake your sister for just one cookie because of him." Shane mumbled because the cookie did taste so good so she wanted to have more. Cali laughed and pinched her face. "You¡­ Stop overreacting and support your sister. How about I treat you later at dinner at your favorite seafood place?" Shane did not budge so Cali handed her the box and said, "Here get as many as you want." Shane grabbed the box but Cali seemed to have a hard time letting it go so Shane rounded her eyes and said, "He still has one more box full here! Don''t give him a lot of sweets or else he will blame you for having a high sugar level and gaining weight!" Cali crumpled her face and released her grab on the box. She watched Shane eat her cookies happily. She bet it tasted good. She pictured Rui eating those cookies like how Shan was eating them. For some reason, she wanted to give Rui a lot of happiness just with simple things. She too was startled when Aunt Jean seemed to trust her enough to almost tell her about Rui''s life. Aunt Jean said that she could feel that Rui also trusted her that''s why she felt happy and relieved that it was her who Rui''s family agreed to marry him with. ....... At Plumeria Island "That''s good then. But then Mara probably has her own complicated story if she is indeed connected to Dr. Yao." Yera heard the conversation of her husband on the mobile phone. As soon as the call ended, she called Xander back on the blanket they spread on the grass. Yera took out the food they had brought in their baskets to prepare it. They were having a picnic at the wide farm on Ryu''s island under the mango trees. "That was Keira''s call. She had received Dr. Yao''s sample for DNA testing. I wonder what would be the result¡­" Xander muttered as he sat down beside his wife. "Hmm, it would be good if the DNA matches, it would mean that Mara happens to have a family of her own. Anyway, let''s go eat lunch now. I cooked this all for you, so you have to eat it all. I don''t want to take any food back and I want to bring empty baskets as we go back¡­" Yera mumbled as she handed her husband the bento box. Not far from their resting place, they could watch a few workers who were very busy in harvesting and farming. Regan said that the island workers also lived on the island with their families. Ryu''s island was a completely developed place and also had a community area for worker residents with a hospital too to accommodate their workers who would get sick. "Everyone knows each other here¡­ So you don''t need to worry." Xander heard his wife speak upon noticing that Xander was observing the workers too much. Xander sighed and continued eating. He was still not feeling at ease and his gaze again swept past all those working people. Though Regan had reassured him too that no one could get in and out of the island without being checked but his heart today was not at ease. The weather that day was very nice and pleasant and everything was too peaceful. Xander finished his food and so did Yera then he lay down for a little rest with his head on Yera''s lap while his wife gently stroked his little grown soft hair. Yera smiled gently looking at the handsome face of her darling, his hair was growing and that made him very happy. As Yera streaked her fingers in his hair Xander opened his eyes and looked straight into hers. It felt so good just smiling and staring at each other like that. "Are you sleepy?" Yera asked lightly. Xander smiled and nodded. "Then sleep for a while¡­" Yera whispered while she hummed a song and looked at the workers. Her husband would leave soon and she would be alone on the island while she waited for her father-in-law and soon to be mother-in-law to accompany her. Yera shifted her gaze back to her husband whose eyes were closed. He was breathing heavily already, indicating he had already dozed off to sleep. She grabbed her mobile phone to get some shots and selfie with her sleeping husband. From afar, a very observant pair of eyes stared at the couple resting under the big tree. "I haven''t seen you before." One of the workers asked. "Yes, I''m one of the new doctors¡­ I was lost while strolling around and saw the fields and you all harvesting and farming here." The worker smiled and showed the new doctor on how to go back to the hospital. The new doctor turned a little and swept a quick glance at the couple under the tree and with a smirk commented, "Aren''t they a feast to the eyes, so good to watch. Such a sweet couple." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Cali informed him she would visit him with a close friend of hers, and since Rui was miraculously free, he agreed. Cali handed him the box of cookies and said, "It should have been two boxes here but Shane snatched it and finished it all off¡­" Rui laughed and accepted the box. He was again touched upon knowing that Cali baked it herself for him. "Thank you for this," he whispered and walked near his desk to hang his lab gown on the stand while the two visitors sat down on his couch. "Do you also accept crazy patients Dr. Rui?" he heard Shane directly asked. "Yeah, I do¡­" Rui answered and soon came and sat opposite the ladies. Cali already told him about Shane so he was aware of her closeness with cali before meeting her in person. The two were both twenty-one and were very close like sisters. He would say that he could assess it was true just by seeing how those two could be clingy to each other, especially Shane. "Are you uncomfortable if I''m too close with Cali like this?" Shane asked when she noticed Rui looked at her hands pinching Cali''s arm. "No, why should I be? It''s actually nice seeing two people bound by a powerful connection of heart with each other and not just by blood or relations." Rui answered with a smile. "I like him." Shane murmured smiling at Cali pointing her finger on Rui directly. Cali made a face to her friend and said, "Sorry, but he''s already mine¡­" Rui was amused watching them bantering in front of him like he was not there. It was like a breath of fresh air despite the toxic situations he usually dealt with. A glimpse of weariness crossed his eyes as he looked at Cali''s beautiful face. She was shining with her bright smile. An enjoyable lifetime of youth and who was he to cut it short for her? He did not believe in love at first sight because for him love was something you could learn to grow in time. But he believed in fate. In things like if a person was destined for you then no matter what, you eventually would still end up together. ''Will we end up together? I guess with time we''ll find out¡­'' Rui inwardly thought. He adored Cali for being such a brave woman who always found a way to follow her own path in life. He suddenly shifted his gaze at Shane. No wonder he felt a sudden cold feet. It was because Shane was staring at him with her teasing smirk. Rui gave her a smile and he offered, "Do you both have any plans later? I think I''m free and will be able to treat you both to dinner. It''s the least I can do for receiving these wonderful cookies." Rui did treat the two girls to a nice dinner later where they both kept entertaining him with their chattering. He was quiet most of the time and just listened to Cali and Shane who were both talkative and bubbly. "I heard you have agreed to let Cali do whatever she wished to while you two are engaged. Does that also mean that Cali can still entertain other suitors?" Shane asked because she was curious to find out his thoughts about it. "What a nonsense question." Cali hissed with her rounded eyes and pursed her lips on Shane. Her friend''s bluntness and shameless questions worried her and she looked at Rui with an apologetic expression. "Haha¡­ It''s okay. Cali can do whatever she wants to. So everything depends on her as long as she wants to enjoy her youth." Rui assured. "Wow!" Shane gasped and even clapped. "Where can I find someone like you? How I wished my family would also partner me with someone so liberal like you." Shane voiced out because she would also soon meet the person her family had arranged for her. Cali''s face cracked because Shane''s family had strict customs that they followed when it came to marriage. Her face crumpled just with the thought of Shane not being happy with what had been arranged for her. "Hmm¡­ I''m afraid Shane, I''m one in a million." Rui jested. "So Cali¡­ Rui can also have a girlfriend even though you two are engaged?" Shane nonchalantly asked. "No!" Cali quickly answered in a loud voice, which made Shane giggle. "Oh no! I mean... what I mean is... no restrictions¡­ yes no restrictions for him too. That''s what we have agreed on so Rui can also do whatever he wants to." Cali mumbled a bit stuttering while she spoke and at the back of her mind she was choking Shane to death for asking too many unnecessary questions. "But I still don''t get it¡­ Did you both set any span of time? I mean is it a few months or a few years? Like five years? If both of you are still single then will you both get married?" "Five years?! Of course not! It is too long a time to wait" Cali exclaimed. Rui chuckled, watching the two women talking terms, accepting and rejecting, between them. He realised that he too had overlooked that part in their terms of agreement. ''So how many years Rui?'' He asked himself inwardly. "Five years is a long engagement! Rui''s family will also be suspicious by then. I think one year will be more than enough." Cali stated, hoping Rui would agree because for her even one year was too long already. "Hmm, that''s a bit quick. How about three years?" Rui suggested. "Yeah three years is a good idea. You both can do a lot in these three years in your separate activities. We can focus well on our new business Cali." Shane seconded because getting married and having a child could be tiring and distracting also, so it would be better for Cali to be single and focus on their business at that time. Cali would definitely kill Shane as soon as they went back home. Shane was grinning ear to ear, because she knew how irritated Cali was inside while showing those beautiful and sweet smiles to Rui. She too was curious what could happen in three years. Would that Josh manage to enter the picture? Or it would still be Rui in the end for Cali? What would happen in the life of her dear friend Cali? Three years¡­ Well it would be an interesting ride to witness. ''But how about you Shane? When will there be someone you can call yours?'' Her inner self asked. She only hoped to run away from an unwanted arranged marriage! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was about to go out and open the door for her when they arrived but Cali stopped him. Rui looked at her and asked, "what is it?" Cali gave him a timid smile and bravely said, "I told you earlier also that I like you, I really do... but I don''t want you to feel burdened by this fact... If you are uncomfortable with whatever I''m doing or what I am about to do please don''t hesitate in telling me otherwise. As you must have seen, I''m a carefree person and I want to do whatever I wish to everytime." Rui suddenly got nervous seeing Cali''s serious expression. ''Why do I feel like I''m digging a pit for myself?'' He thought. "Hmm, I wanna try other things also with you. Honestly, I want to do a lot of things... But most of them... Uhm... most of those things that I want to do are such that I want to try with the person that I like... so... if you don''t mind uhmm..." Cali was stuttering as she put forward her feelings. She had already practiced her words many times but delivering it actually in front of him seemed to be a bit hard. She cursed herself as she reddened. She considered messaging Rui about it in a text message instead but then she thought that it would be best to tell him in person because she wanted to see his expressions when she told him her heart out. "Cali..." Rui whispered. He couldn''t find the right words because he himself was confused about a lot of things but he was sure of something... That was, that he was not ready for getting into a relationship right now. "You see I''m not ready for a relationship..." he started. Cali quickly answered, "Yes I know Rui, so I''m not demanding anything at all. Just let me do what I want to do. I told you I''m an easy person to talk with and would never mind whatever you said. Again, if you''re uncomfortable with whatever I''m going to do then you can tell me directly and I wi?l stop right there." "Alright." Rui simply answered. So far there was nothing to be uncomfortable with. To be honest, Cali was like a breath of fresh air to him and he was enjoying her company. Cali timidly smiled. She wondered if she should ask permission first for what she was going to do or just simply do it. But then it must be best to say it to Rui first lest he got mad. "I am going to do something right now because I''m really willing to and curious about doing it..." Cali said as she leaned closer to him. "Huh?" Rui was confused by what she was saying. Cali gave him a mischievous smile and moved closer. Her face was only an inch closer and it made Rui''s heartbeat skip a beat... "I just want to try that intense kissing like I see in the movies. Teach me..." Cali whispered. Her warm breath touching his parted lips in awe. What happened next really caught him off guard and he was left completely stunned. ''Oh My God!'' Rui was frozen and didn''t know how to respond, he was almost panicking as he felt warm and soft lips on his own. This was the second time Cali had attacked his lips but this time was different than the first one. Her lips were lousily moving on his mouth, gently sucking his upper and lower lips. She even paused in between for a few seconds and then moved her lips again. She obviously did not know what she was doing. She was just an ametuer. He arched his brows and was still trying to figure out his feelings when he felt a wet tongue sliding inside his parted lips. Rui was in a dilemma at that moment. There were two voices buzzing each in his left and right ears... one was telling him to push Cali away while the other one was telling him to pull Cali in his embrace. It was more like an argument between his mind and body. His mind wanted to remain rational but his weak body wanted to surrender and correct Cali''s mistake and teach her how a kiss should properly be done. Rui''s entire body wanted to react whereas his mind rejected his urges. He was undergoing extreme torture at that moment. Cali on one side showed immense courage and went forward to kiss him. On the other hand she was feeling embarrassed because she knew what she was doing was very immature and in a very unskilled manner given that Rui was not responding at all to her kiss, so she stopped and started to pull away. With an inch away from their lips, she stopped and whispered with a bashful smile, "It''s my first time ever kissing and I know I''m a pathetic kisser..." She was about to retreat when she felt Rui''s hand slide on her shoulder, reaching to her nape and heard him whisper, "This is not how you do it . The proper intense kissing is done like this." Cali opened her mouth to say something but Rui''s lips already crashed on hers. Her heart was in turmoil inside her chest with that sudden attack of sensuousness. She closed her eyes and unconsciously wrapped her arms on Rui''s neck, tightly sticking her entire body with his. She was shivering as she felt all the fireworks were rejoicing with her at the back of her head. She could feel the butterflies fluttering inside her stomach. Rui''s mouth moving on hers felt so good that she copied what he was doing and a soft m.o.a.n unconsciously escaped her when his tongue slid inside teaching her tongue how she should probe deeper and fence with him in a sensual way. She could taste him... Well they had the same dish so they probably tasted the same but for some reason... It tasted sweet. ''Wait what sweets did we eat?'' She mused, recalling they also drank wine so maybe that was why she felt so drunk with his way of kissing. Without her knowing, Cali was already on Rui''s lap when she accidentally pushed something with her elbow leaning making Rui''s car honk. She quickly opened her eyes and jumped back to her seat. Rui too came back to his senses... But before he could talk, Cali quickly gave him a peck on his lips and said, "Thank you. I''ll head back in now. Drive safe!" Dumbfounded, he watched her jump out of his car and ran inside their mansion door. "She could trip... Why does she have to run like that." He muttered with a creased forehead. Then cursed while he started back the car''s engine. "I must leave as early as possible," Rui worriedly mumbled. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Dion asked Rizie when his wife brought him some tea in his office. She sat on the couch to check the files she was working on the table then answered, "Hmm, I think it''s not necessary. They will only tease us." A few moments later, Rizie did some stretching and looked at her husband. Their eyes met and Dion winked at her before moving his neck and massaged his nape. Rizie suddenly had a naughty smile. She then stood up and walked towards her husband to sit on his lap. "Someone might come in..." Dion hoarsely hummed when Rizie sat on his lap and seductively wrapped her arms on his neck. Rizie pouted her lips and gently massaged his neck and shoulders. "Feeling tired?" She whispered with a smile as she continued to caress and massage his shoulders. Dion groaned because Rizie''s hands were relaxing however he was getting aroused at the same time. He could feel his groin was swelling while his imagination was starting to go wild. He still felt like he was starving for his wife still and irrespective of how many times he took her he could not get enough of her at all. Rizie on the other hand also had that feeling and wanted to get intimate with her husband as much as when she got any chance. She bit her lip and her face reddened while she bluntly suggested, "Let''s have a quickie. I have already locked the door and even turned off the cctv camera." She would usually do that whenever she would get some alone time with Dion in his office because she longed for some privacy between them especially when Dion was not expecting any visitors. Dion felt his blood boil in passion again. Perhaps his wife could read his body language. "A quickie? I''m not familiar with it. How about you teach and guide your husband about it?" He teased with his s.e.xy smile. Rizie wrinkled her nose with her husband''s teasing while her cheeks were like ripe tomatoes already. "Stop playing innocent. Hmmp." She scolded while running her fingers from her husband''s chest down to his trousers. Dion growled when he felt his wife''s hand gently caressing and squeezing his groin. "How come it''s already hard like this. I''m yet to start." Rizie whispered in awe. "Just your skin brushing against mine can make it swell like that. Don''t you know by now?" Dion whispered with a grin. Rizie had actually anticipated doing wild things such as this in the office and her wildest fantasy was about to come true at that moment. She watched her husband close his eyes while she started to unbuckle his pants to remove his hard little brother from inside it. His length was fully erect once more, waving at her to take it and play with it. She tugged it and gently stroked it with her hands. Hearing her husband growl in pleasure made her smile with satisfaction. "A quickie should be fast right? How fast do you think we should do it." Rizie murmured, busy with stroking her husband''s length with her hand and playing with its tip with her fingers. She was startled when Dion grabbed her waist, pulled her a little up and pulled her panties down and quickly placed her on his lap. "It should be fast like this¡­" Dion whispered while he raised up the hem of her dress exposing her entire legs. Rizie gasped when she felt Dion grab her b.r.e.a.s.ts. He removed her coat and unbuttoned her shirt while unhooking her bra, exposing her b.r.e.a.s.ts before him without undressing her fully. "Start now love¡­" she heard Dion begged. She bit her lip when Dion''s attention was focused on her b.r.e.a.s.ts¡­ Feeding on them and making her wet between her thighs. She moved her buttocks up to slide his length in her but she missed, and brushed into her slick folds. She felt good so she brushed it more followed by a m.o.a.n as soon as it slipped inside her opening. Her husband kept on nibbling on her n.i.p.p.l.es left and right making her ask for more. "Maybe we shouldn''t make it quick. I want to make it a bit long..." she panted while she gently rode him on his chair. She wanted to prolong it because the pleasure was just so great while her husband squeezed the cheeks of her buttoks, then simultaneously licked and sucked her n.i.p.p.l.es. Dion would actually burst out soon but hearing his wife m.o.a.ning in pleasure and begging for more, he tried to control himself as much as he could. Rizie was burying herself deep, moving in speed¡­ Up and down then she would swirl that Dion could almost see the star in her beautiful face that stared back at him. Their misty eyes were not breaking its connection with each other. Dion pulled Rizie''s arching body to claim her lips. He could hear her sweet m.o.a.ns of ecstasy in between his kissing. He could feel her inner muscles tightened, contracting¡­ Giving him more pleasure¡­ Soon both reached their climax at the same time... They were panting hard while hugging each other. "That''s not a quickie¡­" Dion whispered with a chuckle, calming his breath down. Rizie laughed and said, "put your clothes back on quick! Maybe that''s why it''s called a quickie because we have to compose ourselves quickly." Dion knitted his brows but instead of putting his lower clothes back, he put it on the couch and even removed his top to follow his wife inside the bathroom. Rizie who just finished at washing herself up was startled to see her husband who had a naughty grin or his face. She looked down and her eyes rounded seeing his length was hard once more. "I will teach you how a quickie is properly done love¡­" Rizie heard him speak. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Huh?" Xander muttered while he filled another spoon for his wife. They looked funny having their own plates but feeding each other instead of eating themselves. Yera just fed him with a spoon of rice so it was her turn to eat now. If only he could he would not let the day to end¡­ "I will hide and if you can''t find me in an hour then you will have to bring me with you wherever you go." Yera muttered in a serious tone. Xander felt nervous while he whispered, "Darling we have already talked about this." He was scheduled to leave tomorrow early morning before the sunrise. Yera had a blank expression on her face and she continued, "I''m giving you an hour. Don''t tell me you can not find me in that span of time." Xander gulped hearing the challenging tone of his wife. "Alright¡­ But if I find you in less than an hour¡­ No ifs no buts¡­ you have to do whatever I say and obey me unconditionally." "Deal." Yera simply answered before feeding him with the last spoon of his food. After some time the couple then started to play the hide and seek game where Xander counted loudly from the door and Yera would hide somewhere inside the mansion only. As soon as he counted to three hundred Xander checked his mobile phone and smirked. ''She did not say anything about how I should not find her, so it is not cheating so¡­'' he thought as he checked Yera''s signal and his from his mobile where he could see if he was getting near her or not. Yera was not aware that her wedding ring and other accessories were installed with a tracker. It only took him ten minutes to know her location and it was inside their bedroom. His smart wife probably thought that it would be the last place that he would check since he would not expect her to hide there for sure. He quickly put his mobile phone in his pocket and quietly opened the door. He was grinning broadly thinking how he was going to scare her like saying, "Come out come out wherever you are¡­" But was shocked to see his wife sitting on the bedside table as if she was waiting for him. She was in her robe and Xander gulped when Yera looked at the wall clock and turned his gaze on . "That was quite fast darling. So how did you cheat?" Yera directly asked him though she already knew her husband could find her that easily. Xander grinned and unconsciously massaged his nape in embarrassment. He could not lie to his wife at all. A guilty expression was so obviously written on his face. "Come here¡­" Yera instructed with narrowed eyes and Xander obediently walked towards her. "Don''t you know it''s bad to cheat¡­" Yera scolded with arched brows. Xander pouted his lips and justified, "But when it comes to finding my wife I''m willing to do it by hook or by crook¡­ fairly or by cheating..." Yera controlled herself from smiling and maintained her strict face while she said, "You should be severely punished for cheating." "Okay darling. But still I won and found you in less than an hour so now you will have to obey whatever I say." Xander reasoned. "Alright but since you cheated I will have to punish you now." Yera insisted. Xander gulped, wondering what his wife would punish him with now. Yera finally wrinkled her nose and said, "You have to do another strip dancing¡­" Xander opened his mouth and asked, "Seriously?" He felt that his punishment was too easy Yera nodded and even played a song for him to dance. Xander gave her a sensual smirk and started to shamelessly move and gave his wife a good performance. Yera could not help it anymore as she burst out in laughter. "Stop it already darling. You''re so hyperactive¡­" she commented. "But I only removed half¡­ Just my shirt¡­ My short is still on¡­" Xander complained. Yera, with a seductive smirk, signaled him to walk towards her and when he was almost near, she grabbed the garter of his shorts to pull her husband. She touched him while not breaking her gaze at him. He groaned when she started to stroke him. This would be their last day and Yera wanted to please her husband well. She could feel him growing in her hands. She pulled his shorts and started to pleasure her husband using her tongue, mouth and hands. Soon her husband stopped her when he felt like he was about to explode. She was already n.a.k.e.d beneath her robe and was ready for him so Yera removed her robe, laid on the bed and opened up for him. His husband''s thrust was deep and sudden. Yera accepted him inside her wholly. Tears filled in her eyes because she did not want that day to end. She did not want to separate from her husband¡­ "I love you¡­" Yera kept on whispering in her husband''s ear while she danced in his rhythm of love. "I love you..." Xander whispered too all over again. Yera kissed him fiercely like there was no tomorrow. She felt her body tensed and so did he¡­ Then both reached their pinnacle. Yera felt her husband''s weight on top of her as she gently stroked his hair. Both of them were silent. Buried in each other''s warmth. No one dared move because both had the same dilemmas¡­ They did not want to get separated from each other. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Is she really calling me?" he whispered. He was feeling nervous and overwhelmed at the same time because it was the first time Cali contacted him first and called him like this. He immediately answered it with an ear to ear smile, excited to know why Cali called him. He coughed to clear his throat before answering, "Hello¡­" Then hearing Cali talk on the other line without a pause, what started as a gust of sweet wind ended in a burst of shock, "What?! No way! Seriously?" When the call ended, Josh''s shoulders dropped in disappointment. Apparently, Cali called him to ask for a big favor. Josh unconsciously cursed his twin sister who started everything. People now often ask him for favors! ''What do they think of me? Their lackey or something?'' he mused as he walked towards the reception area of his hotel to fulfill Cali''s request. ''They are trying to compete with me in business and now even asking me for favors like this? Shameless! Do they think I''m a good samaritan, huh?'' he continued to complain inwardly. Still blaming his twin sister inside his head who sent chaos in his peaceful life. As if Cali was not enough, and she even brought another chaos with her. He was giving instructions to his manager when minutes later, his gaze shifted at the woman who was now approaching the reception of his hotel where he was at. One of the chaotic souls who would surely bring havoc to his peaceful life was smiling widely at him at that moment. "What a good timing," he fizzled, wondering if he would ignore Shane who was with her luggage and was about to approach him. "Are you disappointed?" Shane greeted him with a sweet smile and blinking eyes. ???I''m sorry about it but it''s the safest place for now. I promise I will behave under your mercy comrade Josh," Shane added with an awkward smile seeing the crumpled face of Josh. He was obviously not pleased to see her. Well, she could understand since she had bullied him a lot whenever she got the chance to. But now she would not do that because Josh had agreed to help her and let his resort become her shelter and safe grounds. Josh sighed and looked at his manager and scorned, "She would stay in one of my private rooms. Treat her like she did not exist¡­" "Huh? I''m sorry, Sir?" his manager asked, wondering if their president was serious or not. "What I mean is make sure that her stay here is confidential. She''s in hiding, remember that¡­ We''re in code red until I lift it up." Josh muttered before guiding Shane to her room. "What does code red mean?" Shane asked as they walked to the hallway. Josh''s hotel was not just a simple hotel given that the previous owner was his older brother Zach who was now in the military. There were a lot of secret areas and secret passages for important gatherings and confidential meetings. They also used the private rooms as a safe house. This resort was made exactly with the mind of an army general... Cali was aware that they have private rooms that were good to be used as a hiding place since she occupied one of them before but Cali of course was not aware of their other uses. "It means a criminal is in hiding," Josh scoffed before entering one elevator that would bring them to a private floor that was not accessible to other guests. Shane pouted her lips and mumbled, "Why all your jokes are not funny at all. Cali hates such empty jokes." Josh opened the door with his fingerprint in the biometric scanner before saying, "It''s not a joke, Shane¡­" Josh narrowed his eyes while he tapped at the door''s keypad, then pulled Shane''s hand to place her fingers in the biometric scanner then he opened the door to enter the room that was a spacious suite. Josh signaled Shane to sit on the couch and he sat down on the opposite couch to face her. "What did you do this time, Shane? Cali told me you will explain the details once you arrive. So tell me now..." Josh asked with all ears and eyes at Shane who gulped and said, "Do you mind if I drink some water first? Travelling here just by commuting is very tiresome¡­" Josh rolled his eyes as he stood up, got bottled water in the fridge and handed it to Shane. He watched her almost finish the entire bottle in straight gulping... She even burped in front of him and laughed while she said, "Sorry!" Josh shook his head, Shane was the total opposite of what she portrayed in outer appearance. She dressed sophisticatedly but when she talked and moved... ''Geez, what a turnoff,'' Josh couldn''t help to muse. Shane inhaled and exhaled loudly before exercising her mouth to talk. "I ran away from my family. I will be dead meat if they find me." Shane started. "That''s it?" Josh asked with knitted brows. He expected more details from Shane. Shane sighed. She came from a powerful clan. Well, she was not among the royal bloods but was just a mere long distant relative, but her parents were loyalists who strictly followed the rules of elders to maintain stability in their family. The clans were having two factions and to show their family''s loyalty, they should agree to marry her to the King''s handed man but they should not disclose this information to anyone. ''F.u.c.k that king.'' Shane cursed. He was still in a coma and she wondered why he couldn''t just go to the other world and leave so a new era could reign! Shane cursed out a long sigh. It was Raine''s fault. The woman promised that she would soon make changes under her ruling, but until now she could not still sit and secure the freaking throne. Shane inwardly scolded herself for bearing such evil thoughts and quickly apologized that she did because she knew it was not good to think bad like that for others but she just couldn''t help it because their clan was in such a great mess that even simple members like her would have to get involved in their political issues. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Josh watched Shane''s conflicted expressions while she seemed to be drowned in fathomless thoughts. "Just how deep in trouble are you to space out like that while talking to me?" Josh snapped out, still waiting for detailed information from Shane. Shane helplessly looked at him. She couldn''t hide at Cali''s place because her family knew about their sisterhood and Cali would surely be the first person they would look for in order to find her. She only saw one solution for her problem. It was to conceive a child so no one would want her for marriage for being such a disgrace in the family, but the problem was, she did not have any man in her life at all. It would be good if she could find someone who would marry her first, but men were afraid of her the moment she started talking. Hopefully, the mess in their clan would soon end, for that they would need a new leader, and a new protocol to be established by that leader. They were now in the new age, for goodness'' sake, and yet the rules they followed were ancient rules! "Hey!" Shane went back to reality seeing Josh waved his hands in front of her face. "You okay?" he asked. Shane nodded and looked at Josh from head to toe. The man was equally handsome, but not as manly as Dr. Dee. He would be a suitable match for her blood sister too if she must say. "Do you want me to help you with Cali? But in return you have to help me too." Shane straightforwardly asked. Josh was becoming impatient because until now, Shane was not giving him the exact details of why she needed to hide out so he asked, "Tell me first why you need to hide Shane." Cali did not elaborate things on the phone but she asked him a favor to take care of Shane while she stayed inside his hotel and he had to make sure that no one would find out about her existence in that hotel especially those who were looking for her just in case they looked there. Just hearing the stuttering in Cali''s voice, Josh could tell that it was something big. Cali even said please to him many times¡­ Asking him to keep Shane safe since she could not protect her blood sister at that point. Shane heaved a deep sigh and summarized the scenario, leaving out the involvement of the clan she was involved with. "My family wants to marry me off to an old fat wealthy man double my age, so I ran away. I would probably consider if he was someone worthy. Ahhh! But wherever I look at him, in and out - Geez¡­ I can''t¡­I cant imagine him as my husband" Shane started with a twitched face. "Can''t you not just talk it out with them? With your family?" Josh''s advised. ''I already did, but I''m part of an abnormal family from an abnormal clan! So talking it out like that is not very easy!'' she wanted to voice out. "No, you don''t know about my family and how strict they are! They will do everything in their power to bring me back and marry me off to that old man! The only solution is that I get married and conceive a baby before they capture me again!" Shane yelped. She wanted to at least choose a man to her liking! She could not picture how she would be with a man she did not even find right to her age. "Do you have a lot of friends? Male friends?" Shane suddenly asked Josh. No one among her circles would have a relationship with her upon knowing her character and how nasty she could be. They often called her a tomboy in a mask. What could she do? When she grew up surrounded by men all over her family, so she was like one of the male dudes under her dress? "You''re insane¡­" Josh shook his head as he could already see what Shane would ask next. Shane stood up and sat beside Josh. She abruptly grabbed Josh''s hand and tightly clasped it in between her hands. With blinking eyes Shane pleaded, "Please help me out and find a mate for me?" Josh''s face cringed in terror. He couldn''t get used to Shane''s choice of words and usage at all. ''Mate? Is she an animal to use the word mate?'' he mused. He often used it to his herds! Finding them a mate to multiply. Seeing the disapproved look on Josh''s face, Shane dropped her shoulders and murmured, "Might as well kill myself than marry that old hooligan!" Just seeing herself with Mr. Long was suicide for Shane. Imagining the old man grinning with his golden front tooth in front of her. Shane wanted to cry, but tears just couldn''t fall at all! She could not¡­ No, she would not forgive her father and brothers for agreeing to that despicable marriage! She wanted to puke... "Stop that, Shane! Why will you kill yourself? There''s always other options and solutions to everything!" Josh scolded. Shane''s lips curved up at that sentence as the sudden hope surged deep inside her. Then a beautiful smile swept on her face as full of hope she said, "Oh, you suddenly look handsome in my eyes Josh! Then I will trust you with my life¡­ Please help me with those options and solutions because whatever directions I look at there''s only one option and solution in every direction for me. And that''s having a mate!" "For goodness'' sake¡­ Stop saying the word ''mate''!" Josh reprimanded. He was not getting a good vibe with such a word. "What term do you want? A husband? A lover? But I think a helpmate is best suitable for my current situation¡­" Shane naively continued. Then she even added, "I need a helpmate just for breeding and coupling." She did not need a husband. Honestly, she would prefer to be a single mother, but to shoo Mr. Long off¡­ getting married could be an advantage too, but getting pregnant would totally dissolve that agreement between her family and Mr. Long. She could just go with artificial insemination, but she was afraid of hospitals or undergoing procedures such as that for some reasons. She tried getting laid with some random men but¡­ she backed out in the last minute¡­ While Shane was deep in her tormented thoughts, Josh too was in a dilemma looking at the woman in front of him differently. He wondered what he did wrong in his past life to have such a complicated life and getting involved with such complicated people. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He was still new to those ways of communications and he was grateful that Liz was with him to accompany him while his father-in-law would decipher the messages because they wrote it like a puzzle. Senior Yang felt like he was playing a part in a spy movie. Last time, it took time for his father-in-law to properly interpret and complete the information on the notes he gathered. James and Liz went separately to check the books out for all the clues. James first looked in the fantasy and sci-fi genres sections. He flipped every page of the book he would hold like checking and reading something, then put it back. Liz also did the same, in every book she touched. Then finally James went into the romance genre section and looked at the novel of one known author. It was the author compared and praised by a certain fan on the books fan page account of the news anchor turned author, Gavin Wu. Lucas contacted them through that webpage where his team monitored the comments on Gavin Wu''s page for his books. A particular commentator was Lucas'' alternate id, using this id he praised Gavin and compared his writing to a particular author and novel. Senior Yang flipped the pages and saw a note kept in that book. He secretly pulled it out and kept it in his pocket. Like the first time they arranged the meeting, the time and place to meet must be there in the note this time too. Liz and him took some time to read together in the library before they went out and headed towards the restaurant given by Lucas to eat lunch where the waiter handed him a brochure. Liz kept it in her purse because Lucas'' further instructions were there. The Chen''s were very familiar with things like these, but they cut it down to Liz because Liz and Old Master Chen both agreed that they would not let Dion get involved with things like these besides the responsibility of writing of Mirage''s History was already passed down to another writer. "This is marvellous news. Ester will help even if you don''t beg James. She is now making a move. You don''t even have to meet her, James. It won''t be wise, she said. She will be in direct contact with Lucas¡­ and Lucas will relay everything to Chad¡­ Chad will pass it to Keira..." Old Master Chen''s face cringed because of how complicated their means of communication were. "I guess Lucas and Ester will have a direct communication from now on. I thought that wouldn''t be better¡­" Liz commented. "Well, they probably reanalyzed the situation and found this method will be the best to not expose her helping hand in Xander''s case. So all we need to do now is to wait." Old Master Chen commented. "You both should inform your son and prepare to travel soon... Your task here is done, James. Ester will contact Xander through Keira. They state it there that Xander should be the one to be present as soon as she could ask for an audience." Old Master Chen said, and next he explained the Mirage Trial. James heaved a long sigh as he listened. Old Master Chen said that Xander would be safe under the Mirage system''s protection during the duration of the trial, since it would be the Quan clan who would secure Xander''s safety. ....... At Plumeria Island Xander prepared a special evening for his wife as this was his last night at Plumeria Island with her. He had arranged a candlelight dinner in the spacious balcony of their room where Xander serenaded his wife by playing a guitar under the moonlit sky. Yera watched her husband, who sang a soulful song as he played the guitar along with. His voice was so warm and soothing... I had found what I''ve Searched to discover I''ve come much too far For me now to find The love that I sought My dreams come true when I looked at you I am taking your love Along with me in my heart This waiting is gonna be the Sweetest of wait in the entire life of ours Because my love, you''re a dream come true Yera blushed while her husband was looking deep into her eyes while he hummed and gave her his most loving smile. Yera moved her chair next to him instead while she rested her head on his shoulders. Xander placed the guitar on his side. "Do you think I can be an Idol?" Xander asked afterwards with a grin. "Darling, you''re much better than an idol." Yera said with a giggle. Xander pouted his lips and said, "I will leave early while you would still be sleeping. I have heard that the Kens will also visit and stay with you while father and aunt Liz are still in country V to settle various things." "Just make sure you keep yourself safe because I will rush to you without giving any thought if I don''t hear from you three times a day... and I''m dead serious when I say this." Yera whispered. Xander exhaled a frustrated sigh and embraced her wife. "I know. You will for sure hear me not only three times a day But I will call you as often as I could and even video call, not just voice call." "I have to leave and go away but it will be like a blink of an eye and I will surely come back soon." Xander added, assuring his wife that their parting would not be for too long, especially now that they have heard good feedback from Ester Chang, his mother''s aunt. Xander enclosed his wife into his embrace as they watched the twinkling stars in the night sky. The night was interminable, and after a while they started dancing to slow music while cuddling each other like there was no tomorrow. "Are we going to stand and hug each other, swaying like this all night?" Yera asked her husband because he seemed to have no intention in breaking out of the hug. Xander laughed and said, "why? Are you tired already?" "Let''s go inside¡­" Yera whispered and that moment understanding her meaning, Xander carried her up in his arms inside their bedroom to give her another night filled with passion and love. She wanted to be entangled with him the whole night through. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rui would unconsciously touch his lips with his thumb every now and then. Jean noticed this act of his whenever she would enter his office for any work. She shook her head and could no longer help but comment, "What''s wrong with your lips, son?" She walked on his table to pass some checks for his signatures. Rui met her gaze and gave her an awkward smile. "Nothing Jean, just that my lips are a little dry¡­" he replied. Jean''s eyebrows arched, not convinced with his answer when Rui''s lips did not look dry to her. Besides, she knew his body language pretty well and knew that whenever Rui told lies his ears would always turn red, so she shook her head and muttered, "I thought you''ve been kissed by a bug and they got swollen¡­" Rui''s brows knitted because of the teasing voice and smirking of Jean. He twitched his mouth and mumbled, "Yeah, that ladybug¡­ is really bothersome¡­" Jean sighed and said, "I think she''s not. I find her cute and entertaining, she is such a naive girl." Rui pursed his lips. ''How come Jean can always read him.'' he mused as he watched her leave with a grin. He knew that Jean liked Cali very much. And who wouldn''t when Cali tried her best to please not only him but also his second mother? Then the thought of pleasing his family almost made him puke. He hoped Cali would not extend her effort into doing that. The ringing of his mobile phone suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He immediately answered it, seeing Xander''s face on the screen. "Did you miss me? Come to my office if you did." Xander''s voice roared in his ears. Rui stood up from his chair and exclaimed, "You went straight to the office?" He knew that Xander was arriving today, but he should at least rest a little after travelling. "The mansion is vacant, so I preferred to rest in my office. I will only feel empty if I stay there and Yera is also not around." Xander muttered on the other line. Rui rushed out and headed towards Xander''s office. He saw Xander talking to Ron as he went inside his office. "Geez¡­ really? Aren''t you tired from your journey?" He asked with concern. Well, he knew Xander had already recovered well, but he was still worried. "Geez, Ron¡­ Look at how our Mr. Psychiatrist is too worried. Come here and give me a hug instead¡­" Xander jested and Rui twisted his face and sat comfortably on the couch.. With a grumpy face, Rui stated, "Since you''re back then I can finally roam around¡­ Gosh, my feet are itching already. I wonder where I should travel next." One corner of Xander''s lips lifted as he teased, "Hmm, can you bear leaving a beautiful lass behind? How about your fiance? I received an invitation for your formal engagement ceremony¡­" Rui pursed his lips. Ever since Xander found out about Cali, he always teased him whenever he got the chance. "Next time I won''t even bother to tell you anything," Rui mumbled, which made Xander laugh as he sat on the opposite couch and signaled Ron to leave. "So moody. It''s just that I''m happy for you Rui. Cali seems to be a nice girl, she is very likeable I should say. In fact, I have also noticed another person who adores her too, but his way of showing his affection to her is a bit different." Xander intentionally uttered because he wanted to see Rui''s reaction. "Who? Dion is already married!" Rui blurted. Xander''s eyebrows collided and said, "I''m not talking about Dion. Wait! What? Isn''t his wedding scheduled for the next month?" "Well¡­ He and Rizie got it registered first. The two of them are just quiet about it right now. I just accidentally heard it from Ron since Rizie requested Shan to be the witness as they registered their marriage." Rui elaborated. "Oh, I see¡­ So I now have another person to tease and even blackmail for a while now." Xander commented, thinking how he would make fun of Dion and tease him for registering his marriage suddenly. "Well, who is it?" Rui suddenly asked, almost in a whisper. "Huh? What? Who what?" Xander asked, grinning silently while watching Rui''s conflicted look. "Who is the person who you said¡­" Rui was stammering and Xander could no longer control himself from chuckling. "Geez, was it so hard to ask? ''Who is that man you said that adores Cali?''" Xander pinpointed. His friend looked so funny right now with a flushed face. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined seeing Rui blush like that. "Wow this is epic." he prodded and even grabbed his mobile phone to video Rui''s face. "Stop that Xander! You''re so childish¡­" Rui grunted. "And you? You''re more childish than I am, you know. Anyway, Cali was introduced as Josh''s girlfriend to the Lim''s family and I was there as Dion''s family. Josh is Rizie''s brother¡­ And he''s young and quite handsome. Well, he is the one who had helped Dion in his complicated relationship with Mr. Lua before. But that was all not real and things just happened because a situation came up suddenly. Just that, when I look at Josh, as a man I can tell Josh likes her¡­" Xander explained and added more abstract details to put more salt and spice in the story. He was grinning while he could tell that Rui was trying his best to compose himself and was refraining from asking for more details. "Well, Cali chose you anyway, and I heard from aunt Jean that all is going smoothly, pretty smoothly rather¡­ So why do you have to leave?" Xander commented as he poured tea for Rui who heaved a frustrated sigh. Xander, though in a faraway place, wanted to make sure that his loved ones were all safe, so he took time to check on them, especially Rui. "Why is aunt Jean talking a lot lately, that too about Cali," Rui complained. "You can''t blame her¡­ Like me, she too is excited to see you with a woman. It''s time for you to be deflowered, my v.i.r.g.i.n psychiatrist¡­" Xander candidly teased, followed by a crisp laugh. "Stop that Xander! Cali is still too young!" Rui hissed. "Hmm. She''s in her twenties already, Rui. A bit young for your age, I agree, but it''s just a number. Just follow your heart, Rui¡­ Anyway, it''s up to you. I think three years is more than enough for both of you to decide and sort out your feelings. Just so you know, once you leave, I''m sure Cali''s admirers will flock around her, maybe then she might just fall for any of them forgetting you." Xander added and stared at his friend as he tried to read him. "Stop that, Xander Yang. In this room I''m the only person capable of reading minds by observing their faces and expressions." Rui scoffed while Xander only squinted his eyes on him, twitched the corners of his mouth in response. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Is it true that you''re hiding Cali''s friend at your place?" Rizie whispered to Josh while they were having lunch. "Unfortunately yes. Why do you have to confirm when Cali already told you about it?" Josh snorted. "Well, she informed me, but I don''t have exact details. Anyway, she wants me to check how Shane is doing since she can''t make contact from now on to prevent Shane''s family from tracking her down." Rizie muttered. "You can visit her anytime in the hotel." Josh commented. He could not help but sulk at the thought of helping a competitor. ''How can anyone be that shameless?'' he mused recalling how Shane was now incessantly bugging him about teaching management technique, wanting him to mentor her so her business with Cali would become successful. And the worst part of it was him becoming a ''husband hunter'' for her! Shane calling him ''my husband hunter'' made him puke. He wondered since when he became so good to people and so much so that he almost has become a lackey to shameless women! "Maybe you are right. I''m the most unlucky person in the world," he grumbled at Rizie. "Huh?" Rizie breathed, confused about what Josh was gibbering about. "Just finish eating and come with me to see that tomboy!" Josh mumbled. His days were no longer peaceful after Shane arrived. Rizie laughed, seeing the temper of her twin brother while she teased, "What''s with your face? Are you that irritated?" She suddenly got excited to meet Cali''s best friend that seemed to get on her twin brother''s nerves that much. After lunch, Rizie left Dion with the elders while she left with Josh to check the hotel and visit the function hall to be used for her wedding and discussed things with the wedding planner. "Dude!!!" Rizie was startled with the loud voice coming from behind and her eyes widened to see a woman in her casual blouse and shorts resting her arm on her twin brother''s shoulders like they were close buddies. She saw Josh''s face crumple as he immediately flicked the woman''s arms away and hissed, "I won''t help you if you don''t stop calling me dude... and your arms take them off me!" The woman pouted her lips and said, "I''m sorry, dud¡­ I mean Josh. I just can''t help it. I''m used to doing that to boys around me. Why are you always grumpy? Chillax man." "I''m not a boy, Shane. For goodness'' sake! How can I even find you a husband if you won''t stop acting like one of the males! Are you really Cali''s best friend? Geez, can''t you at least act like how a normal woman should be." Josh scolded with flaring nostrils. "Why? Do I need to be prim and proper to be Cali''s blood sister? Excuse me, Cali likes and loves me the way I am! Besides, I''m pretty normal! Don''t make it sounds like I''m an abnormal woman," Shane scoffed. Josh shrugged his shoulders and just brushed his face with his palm. Although shocked, Rizie could not help but arched a brow and formed a wicked grin watching the two of them in front of her like she was invincible there. "So you''re Cali''s friend." she whispered in awe. "She is?" Shane asked while staring at Josh. Rizie smiled and introduced herself, then gave Shane a mobile phone and a new number that she could use. The two women headed back inside Shane''s room to talk. "Cali asked me for this favor and please ask for anything else you will need." Rizie offered after hearing about Shane''s situation. "You''re safe in here, Shane. Even if they found your location here¡­ They won''t be able to get you as long as Josh is in here." Rizie reassured her while she sipped her tea inside Shane''s room. "I''m sorry to ask about this but do you have any male friends?" Shane candidly asked. Rizie laughed hard and said, "Trust Josh. He''s better in finding you a husband because I suck at it, you know. Besides, most of my friends are females. Josh could easily tell who would be a suitable match for you. That''s okay, keep on pestering him. My twin brother is a generous and patient man and loves to help those in need¡­" "But I think he''s annoyed with me," Shane stated. Rizie shook her head and said, "Nah¡­ trust me. It''s just his normal attitude. Just be good to him and do whatever he says then he will help you all out." Rizie sneakily looked at Shane from head to toe. The woman was outstanding in her looks too like Cali just that her aura was like of a rough and bold girl and very boyish. But would be fit enough to reign her twin brother. "Did you consider asking him to help you out? I mean, him helping you act as your husband? Or he can also be your husband?" Rizie suggested with a glimpse of teasing. Shane''s eyes enlarged as she exclaimed, "No way!" "Why not?" Rizie asked of curiosity. "I want to live, please. Do you want your twin brother to kill me?" Shane exaggeratedly said that made Rizie laugh. True, looking at how Josh was treating Shane, she would end up dead if she suggested such a thing, but Rizie could not help but to dream to partner her twin brother with a woman she found more suitable. Cali was no longer available for Josh, so she believed Shane could be a fit candidate instead. The chatting was interrupted when Rizie''s mobile phone on the table rang and Xander''s face from the wedding appeared on the screen. She saved it as a thumbnail on Xander''s caller ID. Shane saw the photo and unconsciously grabbed Rizie''s mobile phone to have a better look. "This man looks so familiar¡­" she whispered but realized it was not her phone. "Oh sorry¡­ here¡­" Shane apologized and handed the mobile phone to Rizie who excused herself for a while. Shane tried to recollect where she saw that face¡­ Rizie went back to her seat after the call and snapped her fingers to Shane when she noticed Shane was spacing out. "That''s my brother-in-law, Xander Yang. You probably saw him on tv or magazines or news, that''s why he looks familiar," Rizie commented. She was startled when Shane suddenly tapped the table and out of herself burst, "The twins! He looks exactly like the Yue twins!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

All that happened was too alarming for his plans regarding their relationship. He had a fair understanding of her feelings towards himself but being the kind of person he was, he couldn''t help but still think all of it was her infatuation and not love. He also thought of her to be immature and very young. Though somewhere he felt attracted to her and her warmth touched his heart in many ways, he yet could not accept his feelings for her. Every time he picked up his mobile phone, he saw a lot of missed calls and unread messages from Cali, but he ignored them all. Even Jean was sulky at him because he clearly told her not to disclose his available schedules to Cali or else he would replace her for being disloyal. He wanted to leave as soon as he could, but a few more things remained to wrap up before he could go to country V. He volunteered to stay there to coordinate closely with Chad. He would personally monitor the extensive project that Yang Globals group had been establishing there. It would be a good alibi and a good excuse as well to stay out from Cali''s sight. [Are you avoiding me? Sorry about the kiss. Promise I won''t do it again. I will refrain from asking you for any tutorial or help about it. Please don''t ignore me like this.] He cursed, reading a particular message from Cali. "Is she planning to ask others instead?" he mumbled as he analyzed and interpreted the other text messages. He knew that Cali was in her prime age where she was getting curious about a lot of things, especially about relationship matters and goals. Jean came inside his office, and still with a long face, poured him some tea. "Jean, I will leave soon so stop sulking and don''t make me feel bad about it. I don''t wanna leave you having a grudge against me." he jested with a smile. One of Jean''s brows lifted as she said, "You should at least talk to her and properly say your farewell. Do you know how bad she will feel if you just disappeared without telling her at least something? Tomorrow will be your formal engagement ceremony with her. Cali told me you two have an agreement and she will understand you whatever will happen later, but still show her some respect as her fiance." Rui of course knew that, but he felt that it would be better to leave Cali hating him in her heart rather than not because he knew she was a very stubborn woman. She was the type of girl who would cling onto him and keep going around him, if they parted ways in a good way. Cali would only stop clinging if she somehow hated him. "Jean¡­ I know what I''m doing so please let me handle my matters myself in this matter. Trust me¡­ I''m doing what is best for her¡­" he firmly said with a serious face. Jean let out a long sigh. Somehow, she could see Rui''s point because she herself felt that Cali was too young for him. But Cali seemed to be mature enough for her age, yet Rui had his doubts. He simply did not want to snatch Cali''s youth away¡­ He wanted her to at least enjoy a few more years of her life being single and experience what life could offer her during those years. He wanted to give Cali enough time to think and decide what she wanted in life. Marriage was such a sacred thing for Rui that he did not want to have a broken family in the end¡­ "Rui, you know I love you so I will always support you. Don''t worry about me, I understand¡­." Jean specified with a smile before leaving Rui''s room but at the back of her head, she knew what she had to do to meddle well in that matter. That next day, Cali was all groomed up for the formal engagement ceremony between their families in one of the most prestigious hotels where they reserved a private room fit for both immediate families at the long table. Cali''s family was at the other side. Well, she only had two people with her, her nanny Shine and her grandfather. Rui''s family were all present, including his two brothers and their wives. The talking went well and as usual the elders talked more about business, expansions and merger while Mrs. Dee talked to her and Rui about their wedding plans. Cali could see the displeasure on Rui''s face, so she interrupted, "If it''s okay with you¡­ I don''t want to rush the wedding. I want to do a few more things before the wedding. I want to stay engaged with him for a few years before finalizing the wedding¡­" She was well aware how Rui would only follow what his father wanted him to and also how strained his relationsh.i.p.s with his stepmother and half brothers were who did nothing but give praises and their smiles. Cali might be young but she was a very mature girl who understood enough about how the world moved in their society. She was relieved seeing Rui''s face relaxed when the elders seemed to not disagree with her. She knew Rui was distancing himself from her, so she wanted to give him some free air. She also wanted to keep her pride intact by not making him feel that she was too clingy. She read an article that if she clung too much with the man she liked, then higher chances were that he would get bored with her and lose his interest in her as well. "Hmm, but you can also get married and still do things you want to. Our Rui here will surely support you all the way and never hold you back," Rui''s stepmother suddenly said with a sweet smile. Cali would honestly prefer that too, but to capture Rui''s heart, she would have to follow certain rules she had read from a great inspirational and learning book about capturing a man''s heart. She looked at Rui and gave him a reassuring sweet smile before responding to Mrs. Dee, "Yes¡­ I believe so you''re right. However, I want to test my relationship with Rui through time. But please don''t worry because although we might have a long engagement¡­ That doesn''t mean we will not end up marrying each other." A loud laugh roared in the room from Senior Dee who looked pleased with her answer. ". I really like your granddaughter, Carlo. I feel like she will lead Rui to the right path." Senior Dee addressed her grandfather, who only answered with a nod and smiled. Rui knitted his brows but quickly cleared it up. Cali sighed. Her grandfather also asked her several times if she was sure of what she was requesting and doing¡­ She bit her lower lip as she sneaked a glance at Rui, who sat in front of her, every once in a while. She wondered what was running inside his head because he was too quiet throughout the time there and Cali hated that quietness. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rui and Cali left the hotel together because Rui''s father deliberately instructed his son to take Cali with him in his car. There was only silence as Rui''s car slid speedily on the road. It was already night, but Cali did not want to go back home yet. How she wished she could spend some time with Shane to have some drinks together, but it would not be wise to go to where Shane was staying. She dialed some of her friends to hang out with. She had decided to now give Rui some space because she believed she had pestered him enough. She wondered though if it was effective. "You can just drop me at the convenient store in the next stop, Rui. I will hang out with friends¡­" she casually said. Rui was expressionless. He did not even bother to answer that made Cali uneasy. She was hurting, but she tried to compose herself. She asked for this anyway, so she must not complain now. Rui was honest with her from the start, and she was the one who had made the bargain. She somehow thought that showing Rui her sincerity towards him and this engagement in the past few weeks¡­ helped. But then she was probably so wrong. Rui liked her, but the feelings that she had for him were not probably mutual¡­ Because she had more feelings towards him than just liking him. How she hated using the word ''probably'' whenever she analyzed things between them. "I thought you don''t want to meet your friends yet unless you grow your hair longer¡­" Rui suddenly spoke. "You''ve been ignoring me lately, so I thought I should start mingling with my friends for a change. Shane had left for something important to attend to, so I''ll just have to hang out with my usual friends. I told you I''m too bored at home." "But Cali, it''s already late!" she heard Rui grunted. ''What''s with this man? Now he suddenly cares?'' Cali mused with a twitched face. "So? They are my friends, and besides, I''ve been hanging out with them even before the accident. My grandfather knows them all." Cali casually uttered. Hiding a mischievous grin on her face, she added, "If you want, you are free to join us. If not, drop me at the next stop." Cali was holding her breath as she waited for Rui''s answer. "Where are you guys meeting? I will drop you there directly." She heard Rui murmur. Cali''s face twisted as disappointment sunk in. She gave Rui the address of the bar. Rui stopped at the venue. Cali looked at him and seriously said, "I told you to chill out because I''m an easy-going person. Don''t worry, from now on I will no longer bother you, unless you want me to. Hope you find someone during our interminable period engagement and don''t take seriously whatever I said a while ago. I just said that to secure the position for your family. Bye, Dr. Dee." Rui did not expect such an attitude from her and watched Cali leave from his car swiftly. A group of young boys and girls of her age seemed to be waiting outside for her whom Cali hugged and someone among them gave Cali a paper bag. Rui did not leave yet from where his car was parked. He frowned seeing Cali go inside a car with the paper bag in her hands and his eyes widened when she came out from the car to head inside the bar. ''Did she change into lingerie!'' Rui hissed seeing Cali wore scanty clothes. "What kind of exposing clothes are those, and such a deep neck and back?" he scoffed because Cali''s legs, shoulders and even part of her belly were exposed! It was the first time he had seen Cali wearing something revealing as that because most of the time she came to meet him she wore delicate cute dresses like a princess. That instant, Rui wanted to pull Cali out to cover her body and not let anyone else see her, but he tried his best to control his urges. He stayed there like a statue on his seat while he battled with himself if he should go inside the bar or not. "Rui¡­ Just leave¡­" he whispered. Cali would be fine besides it was her usual routine before she met him. Going inside that bar to pull her out would only endanger his resolve. He should stand firm in ignoring Cali for his own good. After about thirty minutes¡­ "Sh*t!!!" Rui cursed as he banged his hand on the steering wheel and barged out of his car to go inside the bar. It was dark inside and the blinking lights made it hard for him to find Cali in that huge disco bar. He finally saw Cali sitting casually on one couch with her friends. Rui sat on another couch near to her where he could check her now and then. He ordered drinks while he kept his eyes checking on Cali. "What the heck!" he echoed, seeing Cali drinking shots in a row while her friends cheered for her. The music was loud, and the DJ played songs with hard beats. A lot of people were dancing on the dance floor and then he saw Cali standing up from her seat while dancing and walked at the center. "Seriously?!" Rui whined. His eyes narrowed as he watched Cali dance wildly with her friends. She looked so beautiful and wild. Her moves were smooth yet sensuous. It was hard not to get attracted to her¡­ suddenly his jaws clenched when a man suddenly appeared on Cali''s back, almost hugging her. Rui couldn''t stand it anymore and stood up from his seat and ran at Cali''s side. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the dance floor. He then took off his coat and put it on Cali''s shoulders to cover her up. "Hey what''s wrong with you?" The man behind Cali hissed. "Get off my finance if you don''t want me to crack your bones out!" Rui chided with gritted teeth. While Rui was threatening the man, Cali''s friends came there and Rui was in no mood to spare anyone right then. He gave them all a sharp look and scolded them fiercely, "Didn''t you all know that she''s still recuperating from her surgery! How could you all let her drink and behave such wildly?" "We are sorry, Cali said she''s already fine." One of Cali''s friends explained. Rui no longer said a word and just shook his head in annoyance and then carried Cali out because she was struggling from him to get free. "Let me go!" Cali exclaimed but Rui firmly held her as he walked out to head into his car. She was too drunk already, and Rui could smell the aroma of strong alcohol from her. "I still want to drink! I don''t want to go home! If you dare bring me back to my boring home, I will sneak out and you won''t be able to find me for a whole week then!" Cali yelled when she heard Rui talking to nanny Shine on the speakerphone. "Rui can you bring her to your place instead and let her sober up first before bringing her back in here? Cali is really scary when she is drunk. She will sneak out for sure if she is saying so¡­" Nanny Shine explained on the other line. It would be best that Cali stayed with Rui instead. It had happened before once when Cali was heavily drunk and she sneaked out of the mansion without their knowing. Well, she had Shane to run to before, but nanny Shine knew that Shane was into hiding and she only trusted Shane for Cali''s safety. Rui was Cali''s fiance, so it should be fine to stay with him instead. "Cali I will bring you to a marvellous place to get more drinks so behave and listen to me and be good, alright?" Rui said, applying psychological words on Cali who nodded at him several times. "Ohh kay-- Caa-lii- wi-ll behave!! Yehey more di-nkkks ahead!" He heard Cali yell with her drunk voice as she continued to dance on her seat and even turned Rui''s car stereo volume up. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Seeing how wildly she was behaving while drunk he thought to discipline her a little before dropping her off after she sobered up. He couldn''t believe his eyes when he saw how she went crazy after that thirty minutes of drinking inside that bar, and now he was also sure that he would need more than just a psychological approach to tame her wildness. "Where the hell are we?" He heard Cali speak while she looked inside his house. "This is no fun! Where are the lights? Where are the drinks?" She asked next while she followed Rui. Rui opened the lights in his bar and said, "Come here and sit!" Cali bit her lips and quickly followed as she sat down and waited patiently for Rui to serve her. "Is bartending your part time work?" Cali asked with a grin while she watched Rui mixing drinks very professionally. "Wow, looks good," she mumbled as Rui served her a drink. Rui gave her a lopsided grin and even said, "Suit yourself." That was not an alcoholic drink, of course. He added some booster to sober Cali up, but it would probably take some time before she sobers up a little¡­ "Eww¡­ What''s this? You sure are not cheating on me, right?" Cali complained. "Where''s the music?" She asked next. Rui played some random lively music and his jaw almost dropped when Cali stood up and threw away his coat from her shoulders and started dancing with its rhythm like she was a maniac on the center stage. He made another drink to sober her up but to his horror, Cali already roamed inside his house playing like a kid. "Why did she drink so much if she can''t handle it?" he hissed as he followed Cali who was now in his living room jumping like a kid, on his couch. Rui scratched his head and said, "Stop jumping Cali or else¡­" Cali paused and with rounded eyes said, "Or else what doctor? Are you going to drug me up? Like you did just now¡­ What the heck is that you gave me. It tastes like medicine." "It''s to sober you up Cali¡­ Please stop that and sit properly on the couch." Rui instructed. Cali stared at him then smiled mischievously and winked before saying, "Alright¡­ Come here and sit with me¡­" Rui suddenly hesitated, seeing that smirk from Cali. She would obviously do something silly with that smile on her face. Rui shook his head and was about to walk away, but Cali already pulled him on the couch with her. "What are you doing?" Rui''s eyes enlarged because Cali abruptly sat on his lap and used her both hands to cup his face. Cali looked serious at that moment and gave him a sharp stare. "Didn''t you like the way I kissed you Rui, is that why you''re avoiding me? Am I too lousy, huh and not really to your liking? Why can''t you like me Rui?" "Cali that''s not it¡­ can you get up now? I''ll make you something to eat and sober you fast." Rui breathed as he was getting tensed up with Cali''s body so close to him. He gulped as his eyes went down on her parted lips. He could smell the alcohol from her breath mixed with her sweet scent. Cali''s eyes narrowed and her lips curved into a sweet smile. His control was already weak when it came to her, and when she played seduction¡­ what would he do? ''I''m doomed¡­'' Rui mused as Cali''s lips brushed onto his. She started kissing him like a wild fox, invading his inner lips and mouth with her tongue. Rui''s hand unconsciously landed on Cali''s legs and he felt the last few threads of his control getting broken. He cursed in frustration, feeling the soft skins on his palms. He was having a hard time because it was not only Cali''s lips that were brushing his but also her body that was moving up and down on top of him every once in a while. He could not yet overcome the overwhelming feelings of their last kiss that Cali initiated inside the car. And now this? How could Cali put him into such a dilemma? Rui''s mind was full of complaints and struggles, but he was unconsciously m.o.a.ning while the kiss deepened. Cali tasted so sweet despite the alcohol and her body''s warmth was a comfort that Rui did not want to disappear from near him. He felt Cali undoing the buttons of his shirt he was wearing. He growled when he felt Cali''s hand touching his chest and making circles with her fingers. Rui''s hands moved on their own also, like they had their own mind. It found the zipper on the back on Cali''s small dress and unzipped it, making it easy for the dress to fall on her waist. He was losing out of breath already while his groin was swelling hard beneath his pants. His hand cupped one of Cali''s rounded mounds. He gently squeezed her fullness while his lips trailed on Cali''s jawline down her neck. She arched her body so that it was easy for him to bend down while he braced her back with one of his arms. Cali''s little sweet m.o.a.ns were taking away the sanity that was left in him¡­ not to mention how her rosy protruded buds were tempting him to give them his attention. He felt Cali''s hand grab his hair when he replaced his hands with his mouth. But Rui suddenly paused and hugged Cali tight. He almost lost control¡­ Cali was drunk and not in her right mind. He hugged her tightly, trying his best to calm his breathing while he whispered, "I''m sorry Cali¡­ I''m sorry¡­" He did not want to take advantage of her. He was cursing himself hard inside his head that he did not notice how Cali hugged him back. Cali started to sober up at that time and hearing Rui saying ''sorry'' repeatedly was hurting her inside, both her heart and pride were slashed at that moment. She misinterpreted Rui¡­ She thought Rui was sorry because he couldn''t go further since he felt nothing for her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she immediately controlled it not to embarrass herself more. She did not want to let go from that embrace, but she knew she had to. She felt dizzy, so she only mumbled, "I''m sleepy¡­" She felt her body being lifted as Rui carried her inside his room. She did not let go of Rui even though she was already on bed. "Stay here¡­ please..." she whispered, hugging him tightly as she dozed off to sleep. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Rizie and Dion were now on their way back to the Capital City. Dion noticed Rizie was lost in deep thoughts so he asked, "You''ve been quiet for quite some time now. Is there something bothering you?" "Shane¡­ She recognized Bro Xander because he looks too much like the Yue Twins¡­" Rizie mumbled and narrated to Dion what Shane told her. So instead of going to Rizie''s condo unit, the couple went straight to Yang Globals office to tell Xander about it. "Shane will definitely cooperate with us and help us in everything, but right now she''s in hiding because of her family matters." Rizie explained. Shane could be their spy inside the Yue clan since she''s a part of the clan, but they must help Shane first in finding her a husband. "Shane said, she can only go back to her family once she''s already married and has consummated her marriage. Or else she will marry one of Yun''s trusted hand, Mr. Long, and she said she would rather die than marry that old man. At first she said it''s better if she would be pregnant before meeting her family but that will take time however even just consummating the marriage will do. It''s rare, I mean I didn''t know that their clan gave so much importance to v.i.r.g.i.nity even in today''s time." "So you''re saying Shane needs to marry and must lose her v.i.r.g.i.nity to be safe from the torture of her family?" Dion cleared out. "Well yeah, as per my understanding of the entire situation, an accredited doctor of their clan will check her upon her return to see if she''s saying the truth about her marriage and consummation. That''s the only way to stop Mr. Long from marrying her since it''s against the rules for their elders or leader to marry an impure woman." Rizie explained. "They sound like a cult and not a clan," Dion commented and Rizie nodded in agreement. There were a lot of things going on in the clan and Shane had quite some knowledge about it. Xander must meet her soon. "To be honest¡­ I think Josh can help Shane. I have already talked to him but all he said was that I''m crazy." Dion lagged and seconded, "Yes, he is right... you indeed are crazy. Why will you ask your twin brother to do such a thing, is it not dangerous for him?" "Who else do you think we can trust about Shane''s disposal?" Rizie mumbled. There was no one except Josh or Rui? But Rui was engaged already, and Yue Clan probably knew Rui already as Xander''s closest friend and blood brother. Meanwhile, back at Lim''s hotel and resort, Shane was sitting solemnly in deep thought when Josh entered her room with breakfast for her. Rizie told her that Josh could help her and she should try to convince him. She was running out of time. Eventually, if not her brothers, Mr. Long would find out where she was. She pursed her lips as Josh put the breakfast on the table quietly. She quickly sat on the chair and asked him, "Did you find someone already?" she asked. Josh sat too and prepared the food. "Eat first, okay? Let''s talk about it later." Josh answered because he too was having a hard time trying to look for someone to marry Shane whom he could also trust with Shane. "I''m running out of time, Josh. Maybe we just hire someone I can bargain with and pay him for his help? I will immediately divorce him once I secure myself from Mr. Long''s grasp." Shane uttered, she looked unsettled. Josh exhaled loudly and said, "I really don''t know anyone who would agree to do this Shane. Can''t your family do something about it?" Shane shrugged her shoulders because she felt like she had already explained things over and over again to Josh. If it was that simple then she would have probably done that already right? Her family would be in a very difficult position if they turned down Mr. Long so she should be a sacrificial lamb. "Do you know how many times Mr. Long had become a widower? All his previous wives did not end up well, and they were all battered badly!" Shane shouted. She balled her fist to control her trembling. She had not been honest with Josh before with the actual thing going on. But now, after knowing that Rizie and Josh were aware about the Yue clan, she would tell them every single detail. It was not her family who was pursuing her, but her family needed to act like they needed to find her. She hated that¡­ she hated her family for that. She could not forgive them for agreeing to that marriage. They were all cowards! So she would help that Xander in bringing down those corrupted people from the Yue Clan! But first, she needed a husband and consummate the freaking marriage! "Josh, how about you helping me out? I Promise I will not drag the marriage too long and set you free as soon as possible¡­ Please marry me?" Josh''s face paled¡­ No¡­ He had a total blackout! Everything went black, and he lost consciousness. Shane''s face crumpled¡­ "Am I that bad for you to faint like that." she chided as she pulled Josh to the bed with all her might. Rizie vaguely gave her that option, the option to consider Josh and ask him directly to become her husband. She could convince him since she would set him free also, but the problem was the consummation part. Josh liked another woman so it would probably be hard for him to get intimate with her, but she should at least try. Shane cursed the Yue clan to her inner core for putting her in such a dilemma. How she hoped to have them all wiped out, the elders that were making it hard for the new generations to live peacefully. She looked at Josh on the bed and whispered, "Sorry Josh¡­ But I will seduce you if I have to¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

He opened his eyes and the first thing he heard was Shane''s voice, "Finally you''re awake!" He turned to look at Shane who was smiling widely beside him with her palms on her cheeks and hands elbowed on the bed. "I can''t believe you blacked out like that? I thought you''re just pranking me, but hell¡­ You fainted.. for real... and let me tell you, it''s highly offending you know. You''re hurting my pride. I even looked at myself from head to toe to find out which part of mine is that ugly to make you black out." Shane commented with pouty lips. Josh quickly sat upright and massaged his temples. "Don''t you dare say that again? You will kill me with such words, Shane." he complained. But was again startled when Shane suddenly leaned closer to him, so close that Josh almost held his breath in. "Why? How can you even say that? That''s so offending, really! I''m not ugly at all. In fact you can check that I''m attractive enough. I know Josh, you like Cali since she''s more girly and beautiful as well. But I''m not asking you to like or love me, just help me out with my situation. Getting a little bit attracted to me so we can be intimate to solve my issue will be enough for me." Shane whispered. Her mouth and lips were just half an inch away from him. Josh felt like fainting once more. "Stop it, Shane. That''s really not funny." Josh stammered. "Who''s being funny? I will prefer to do it with you than doing it with any other man I don''t even know or have any interaction with. At least with you it''s more convenient since you like someone else¡­ and hence you will not be clingy..." Shane murmured. Josh could feel his heart bouncing hard in his chest. His lips parted to say something, but Shane shut him up with her lips. Josh was stunned and felt a plethora of emotions run in his body. ''What''s wrong with me?'' he panicked because his body froze, he could not move. He often heard a phrase from elders regarding why men fell into temptation. ''When the rice approaches the chicken'' Josh couldn''t believe that would happen to him given that his body was reacting to her actions. He couldn''t believe that his manhood was reacting to a tomboy. That thought gave him enough strength to push Shane away who fell from the bed onto the floor. *Thud "Oh my God Shane are you alright?" Josh asked while he quickly ran to Shane to help her get up from the floor. "What do you think, dude! I think I broke my h.i.p.s! How dare you push a woman that forcefully!" Shane hissed with a crumpled face while she tried to get up. Josh got worried seeing Shane''s eyes flicker with tears. "I''m sorry¡­" Josh mumbled. Shane wrapped her arms on Josh''s neck to get up and she intentionally brushed her body on him. She smirked knowing Josh was not pushing her so she m.o.a.ned, "It hurts." She might look like a tomboy, but someone like her who was well versed in seduction as part of her training knew she could achieve her goals easily. She could be a part of the infamous Shadow Beauties of Yue clan if not because of her heart problem that became a blessing in disguise for her to fail that elite group of assassins. She leaned more, brushed herself more¡­ Making sure Josh would feel her bosoms because she did not wear a bra under her shirt. She clung on to him so tight that her arms were still on Josh''s neck when he placed her on the bed. "Ouch¡­" Shane deliberately growled when Josh removed her arms from his neck. "Did it hurt a lot?" Josh asked worriedly. Shane pulled the hem of her shirt that exposed her belly. Seeing Josh''s eyes almost pop out, she removed her shirt, giving Josh full view of her bare front before she immediately turned around. "Ouch! Check my back below¡­" she acted hurt, but she was grinning. She never thought she could put up with what she learned from that clan in excellent use as this. "Do you have any therapist in the hotel? You can ask someone to check it if you''re uncomfortable." Shane deliberately instructed him to mask that she was doing things intentionally to seduce him. She turned her head to look at Josh who seemed to be out of himself yet. "By the way Josh, since you see me just like a boy then I will no longer push you with that matter. Can you call a male therapist instead? Someone presentable and attractive, okay. Hopefully that one won''t faint like you did¡­ I''m really running out of time. Or call a single man Ortho doctor to see me..." Shane muttered. Shane once again cursed the yue clan for making her act so cheap! Because of the Yue''s f*cking abnormal rules, she became a desperate woman for male species when to be honest she could not even picture herself being with a man. She was enjoying her life being single if not for that old fat Mr. Long who took a fancy on her. She heard Josh exhale loudly. "Where does it hurt? Here?" Josh asked, touching her bare back waist. "Lower¡­" Shane mumbled. "Here?" Josh asked, cursing inwardly because he couldn''t leave Shane alone with that state of her mind. He felt like once he left her on her own, she would just pounce on any man she saw. "Yeah, there. Ahh. It feels good," Shane m.o.a.ned with a sensual touch of her voice. "Hmm¡­ Yeah like that¡­ Ahhh¡­" "Stop humming!" Josh hissed because Shane''s voice was distracting him. It sounded perverted. How Josh hated himself for being such a sympathetic nature man. Why would he care? Shane could throw herself to any man for all he cared. But he could not help himself. He did not want Shane to just throw herself to any man. His conscience could not bear to see that. ''Why? Why Why?'' his inner self yelled. He shook his head¡­ because he himself also did not know why. Maybe just because somehow he started to care about her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

As promised, Xander did not miss a single scheduled time to call Yera whenever he was available, so it often ended up more than thrice a day. "I miss you." Xander muttered from another line before going to sleep.. "Me too. But I''m sleepy¡­" Yera chortled. Xander looked at his wall clock in the private room of his office where he has slept since he arrived. "It''s still early, darling. Just eight o''clock. Tomorrow, dad will arrive with aunt Liz." Xander murmured. "Yeah, I will help them in arranging a simple wedding here." Yera whispered, followed by a yawn. She felt like she would get fat soon by doing nothing but to sleep and eat ever since Xander left. "You should sleep now¡­ You''ve been yawning ten times already. I miss you and I love you," Xander muttered because he counted. Yera chuckled and said, "You too. I love you¡­" Xander went out of his private room to go through some doc.u.ments. He was startled when Rui suddenly entered his office. "I noticed you look so lonely since the day you arrived so how about playing a little with me? With some drinks?" Rui said and brought a bottle with him. Xander laughed and sat down on the couch. He set up the video player. It had been a while since he and Rui played like that. "I might follow you soon to country V," Xander said, then he narrated to Rui what Rizie told him this afternoon. "You mean Shane? Cali''s best friend?" Rui, who was totally shocked burst out. "Yes, she just needs to solve her issue, and once that happens she will go with me to country V." Xander muttered. Rizie informed him that Shane was eager to help him upon knowing he was the son of Kanya. "So Shane is a part of that clan," Rui muttered and he got suddenly worried knowing Shane was close to Cali. "Wait, does Rizie have Shane''s number?" without waiting for Xander to answer, Rui immediately dialed Rizie''s number. "Riz, can you send me Shane''s number? Thanks." Xander heard Rui. He knitted his brows, seeing the uneasiness of his friend. "What''s going on?" he asked while Rui stared on his mobile phone, probably waiting for Rizie to send Shane''s number. "Cali¡­ If that Yun''s important man is seeking Shane¡­ I want to confirm if it will endanger Cali." Rui whispered and immediately went back to his phone as soon as it beeped. "Shane it''s Rui. Will Cali be in danger if that Mr. Long looks for you?" Rui asked with greeted teeth. "Tell me what I have to do¡­" Xander heard Rui with a serious tone. As soon as the call ended, Rui stood up and said, "Sorry bro¡­ Let''s drink some other time. I will get back to you soon. I need to go to Cali now." Xander once again was alone in his office. "I guess I will drink alone," he mused with a sigh. Being apart with Yera was killing him¡­ He grabbed his mobile phone with a sigh then typed a message for his wife. [Sleep well my darling¡­ I will see you soon¡­] Although everything seemed to be moving in a positive way, Xander could not let his guard down. He was grateful with people around him and their support. That audience he needed to ask from Mirage would come soon. ''I will crush you to pieces¡­ All of you!" Xander whispered with gritted teeth. ...¡­. At Lua''s Residence Cali''s eyebrows raised seeing her mobile phone ring with an unexpected caller. She sighed¡­ Wondering if she should ignore him or answer. According to the book she needed to play hard to get if the man sought her. But her hands were itching to grab it and answer it. "What if it''s important?" She murmured on her own. "No! I must not answer it or else I will look easy!" Another murmur from Cali. When she was about to answer, the ringing stopped so Cali sighed. Then a few minutes later nanny Shine rang the doorbell in her room. "Rui is downstairs¡­" nanny Shine informed. Cali did not expect it. "Okay I''ll go down in a minute nanny Shine." Cali mumbled. She wondered why Rui wanted to see her but she could not hide her excitement as she looked at her own reflection first in the mirror. She was already in her nightwear and no longer bothered to change. She saw Rui sitting on the couch in the living room. Cali once again felt a sharp pain in her heart, recalling how Rui was quiet since she woke up the next morning in his bed. There was only silence until he dropped her home and Cali did not know what to say either. Afterwards she tried her best not to contact him¡­ "I believe it''s something important for you not to wait till tomorrow morning." Cali spoke and she saw Rui lift his head. He seemed to be in a deep thought as he looked startled when she spoke. Rui looked at Cali full of concern. Cali was not aware about Shane and Shane''s family''s connection to the Yue clan and Shane wanted to keep it that way. Although Shane assured him that Cali would be safe and would not be harmed, he was still anxious with the fact that Cali would be tailed or followed since she was the closest person to Shane. "Give me your phone." Rui instructed. Though confused, Cali gave him her mobile phone. "What''s going on? What are you doing on my phone?" She asked and sat beside Rui. "I''m installing a tracker¡­" Rui simply answered. "Huh? What for?" Cali mumbled but Rui did not answer. He gave her phone back and picked something in his pocket. Cali watched him pull her hand. She bit her lip¡­ She could not help but have that feeling of hope but yet she tried to convince herself not to expect anything and give any advance thoughts on Rui''s action. He put a bracelet on her wrist and said, "Make sure that you always wear this bracelet especially when you''re out and I''m not with you." Rui then intently looked at her and said, "You are being followed because of Shane so it''s better to be safe. I heard it from Shane directly when I called her since I found everything from Xander and Rizie." "Next time, you tell me important things like this Cali. Even if Shane assures you that you will not get harmed, we still need to ensure your safety." Rui scolded. Cali bit her lip and could no longer control herself and said with tears flowing down her eyes, "Why? You don''t need to care or overreact like that Rui. We''re not really in a relationship." "We are still engaged so don''t ask why I need to care or overreact¡­" Rui firmly stated. Cali did not know what to feel at that time because Rui held her in his arms. His reply was too vague for her... Cali wanted to ask more but she heard Rui whispered, "Please don''t question me at this time and just follow whatever it is that I say¡­ Your safety is important to me." ''Why? Why? Why?!'' Cali wanted to voice out but sealed her lips instead and focussed on Rui''s warm embrace. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She caressed the bracelet with her other hand and felt so happy that Rui was looking after her. Though she tried not to be hopeful but somehow deep in her heart, she was hoping. She squealed on her bed as she embraced herself to feel his warmth with the bracelet on her wrist. Rui''s scent still lingered on her with that bracelet. Cali had a sweet smile curved on her lips as she closed her eyes to float in the world of sweet dreams. Meanwhile, Rui was still in his car, overwhelmed with his conflicted emotions about Cali and his relationship. He was still standing outside Cali''s residence, parked near her villa. He smirked, recalling his conversation with Xander a while ago when he asked Xander why he seemed to be always in a hurry to show his feelings to Yera and was up to the level of being shameless with her. He always made bold moves when it came to Yera, not sparing a single opportunity to show his love for her. Xander''s answer was very simple. "Why do I need time to express myself? I like her and I don''t want the opportunity to pass by and make me regret things in the end simply because I don''t have the courage to show my true feelings to her? And give Yera time? Yes, I will give her that time, but that time is for her to decide and sort out her feelings during that time. It doesn''t mean that I have to limit myself in showing her how much I like her or want to be with her¡­" Xander''s words rang in his head. He was ready to leave Cali to give her time, but knowing she could be in danger turned his world upside down. He wanted to protect her and be with her. That fact he realized the moment he found out that Cali could be in danger. "So, what is it Rui that you want to do now?" he whispered, asking himself. In the end, Rui thought to sort things out and ended up dialing Cali''s mobile number. "Are you sleeping? Do you think you can go out still for a while with me? I''m outside¡­" Rui said on the other line. Cali was actually already sleepy, almost dozing off when her mobile phone rang. Her eyes rounded seeing the number on her phone was again Rui''s and she quickly answered it. After the call ended, she almost tripped while running out from their mansion. "Where are you going?" her grandfather asked who was in the living room with nanny Shine. "Rui, grandpa, he called me and asked to meet him. I will meet him outside." Cali answered. "He just left a while ago, right? You''re meeting him out in your sleepwear?" Mr. Lua asked with a creased forehead. "I think he just forgot something grandpa. Yeah¡­ It''s okay, we''ll be in the car only. I''ll go now..." Cali replied in a rush and proceeded to go out of the house. "Nanny Shine¡­ I think I''m being too lenient to Cali these past few days don''t you think?" Mr. Lua asked with a sigh. "Yes, but she looks much happier compared to before¡­ She has become more mature and responsible I believe," nanny Shine simply answered as both elders watched Cali''s back. "I hope so¡­ All I want is to do all that is best for Cali¡­" Mr. Lua whispered. Rui inhaled and exhaled loudly inside his car as he waited for Cali to come out of her mansion. As soon as he saw her coming out of the main gate there, he drove his car and stopped in front of her. Cali sat inside his car. "Why?" Cali asked as soon as she was inside. Rui did not say a word and leaned towards her to grab the seat belt and put it on Cali. Cali bit her lower lip because her heartbeat was always in a race every time Rui would get near her. She wondered when would a time come when her heartbeat would become normal in his closeness. Rui drove the car out from their residence so Cali murmured, "I''m in my sleepwear." She heard Rui chuckle and said, "Yes, I know. We will have a drive thru coffee. I saw a nice place to hang out near your area where the view of the city is nice." "Oh yeah, there is¡­" Cali enthusiastically replied. It was on the hilltop where most cars would park to have the relaxing view of the city lights during the night. But that was a romantic place where most lovebirds killed their time. ''Are we love birds now?'' Cali could not help but daydream, but then she quickly erased the silly thought in her head. She had this rule she kept on reminding herself. She could go all out for a man, but she must still protect herself and always keep her respect and love for herself intact. If Rui did not really want her after that span of time, she would not push it anymore as long as she already gave out her best to it. Rui ordered two coffees and some snacks for them, then he drove to the said place and found a good spot to park his car. Cali looked at him closely and asked, "What''s going on?" Rui faced her and met her eyes¡­ ''Oh God¡­'' Cali mused because she felt like she would melt with that gaze. She saw Rui heaved a deep quick sigh before he started, "Cali¡­ I know we started up wrongly. I mean we have an agreement and have been tied up for an arranged marriage¡­" Cali gasped and thought, ''Should I tell him it''s me who planned all that? Will he get angry if he finds out?'' That dilemma suddenly crept in her. She felt Rui hold her hands and the sudden action made her stare at him in awe¡­ "I honestly think you''re still too young for me, but that doesn''t mean that I don''t like you, because... I do¡­ but I feel like your feelings towards me can alter as you age, since you still have a long way to go. It''s so easy to say you are ready to marry me, but then marriage for me is not just about feelings because feelings tend to change over time. Sometimes it''s not permanent Cali." Rui elaborated. He saw Cali creased her forehead, so he explained further, "Marriage is a commitment Cali. What makes a marriage last is not only feelings but also because two people are committed to each other to keep that relationship." Cali pursed her lips¡­ She was nervous¡­ She did not know if what Rui was saying would end up good or bad for her¡­ "But then I realized, who am I to judge you because of your age, maturity doesn''t depend on age and so I gave it a deep thought and decided to give ourselves a chance¡­ Let''s be in a proper relationship, where both of us like each other and in time we will see how things will progress between us so I will stay by your side and be your real boyfriend Cali because I want to and that''s what I want to do." Cali was flabbergasted and thought she was dreaming. To make sure she wasn''t, she ended up pinching herself to be sure that everything was real, not just a dream. "Ouch¡­" Rui chuckled, witnessing what Cali did. "You''re too cute," he whispered as he cupped her face in between his palms to give her a gentle sweet kiss on her lips. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

They had specifically come to meet her and spend time with her. The couple also brought their two years old daughter with them. "Is it hard being a mother?" Yera asked Arya who was lovingly watching Ryu playing with their little princess. "Hmm, at first it was, since I feel I''m still adjusting, but truly everything is worth it¡­" Arya answered with a smile while looking at Ryu who was busy with his daughter in the garden. Yera could not help but imagine Xander running behind a little girl in a princess dress and holding her up high in the air. He would look so adorable as a father too. Like Ryu, she was sure that Xander would also be an exceptional father and spoil his daughter to no end. "Those two looks so cute. I bet bro Ryu is such a hands-on dad." Yera commented. "Yes, you bet. To be honest, he spends more time with our baby than he spends with me. Also, he makes it a point to spoil her as much as he can and always gives in to her stubbornness. I''m always getting neglected¡­" Arya happily complained, and Ryu who carried their daughter in his lap protectively, laughed hearing that as he approached the two women. "That''s not true, Yera. Arya is the one who is too busy with our baby. I''m the one often getting neglected by her most of the time. Moreover, girls are all meant to be spoiled, be it a mother, wife, sister or daughter. And because daughters are a reflection of all other women in our life, sometimes we men tend to love our daughters more than anyone else." Ryu defended and even pinched Arya''s nose. "Ouch! See Yera, that''s what I was telling you." Yera laughed, watching the husband and wife bantered. She grabbed little Lexa from his father. "Come here, little one and go to auntie instead¡­" she whispered while she played with the cute little princess. Oh, how she hoped she too was already pregnant, but she needed to wait a few more weeks to do a pregnancy test. Yera smiled at her own wandering thoughts and hugged Lexa tightly in her arms when her mobile phone rang. She immediately answered, still holding little Lexa with her, seeing it was Xander calling her in for a video chat. "Look who''s here with me?" Yera said with a smile. "See Lexa, greet your uncle Xander there." She whispered. Arya signaled Ryu to get Lexa from Yera''s embrace to give the couple some quality time, but Lexa did not want to let go of Yera''s neck. "It''s okay," Yera assured Ryu. "Looks like she likes you¡­" Xander commented from the other line with a roguish smile. "Darling, you look good carrying a baby. I hope we have a baby girl too," Xander added while waving his hands too at little Lexa that was giggling at him. Yera winked at Xander and kissed baby Lexa on her cheek in front of him that made Xander pout his lips. "What''s that¡­ I''m jealous. I want a kiss too.?? Xander mumbled, and Yera gave him a sounding flying kiss. Arya approached Yera to pick her daughter from her so that they can leave Yera for a while to give the couple some privacy. When Arya and Ryu left, Yera asked Xander, "Do you think it will take you long in country V once you succeed to ask for an audience? I''m thinking of going with you. To be honest, I feel like the separation will kill me instead of the enemy." Xander chuckled and said, "Darling, you''re making me blush. But I feel the same way too. Hmm, just a week has passed and I''m overwhelmed to hear that. Chad said, it will be better if we stay apart for now so let''s just do that, darling. Don''t worry, I will not let this month pass without achieving nothing. Just think of it as a temporary separation for a lifetime of being together in peace." Yera heaved a long sigh. If her pregnancy test happened to be negative by that time, she decided that she would follow Xander wherever he would be. She could not just wait like that, knowing her husband could be in danger any moment. She would not agree with Xander''s decision to leave her behind in the first place if not only because of her possible pregnancy. "Darling, you there? A penny for your thoughts?" Xander uttered, noticing Yera was in a deep thought. "Hmm, nothing. Aren''t you busy today?" Yera asked instead. Xander nodded in the video and said, "Don''t you know that you''re my rest? By the way, how''s dad and mom Liz?" Yera laughed and said, "They are on their honeymoon. I mean on a date¡­ Exploring the island. They actually insisted that I come, but I feel so lazy that I only prefer to eat, sleep and watch some movies. Hmm, mostly Zombie apocalypse series¡­ I''m enjoying watching them¡­" Xander''s face wrinkled while he commented, "Stop watching those. What if you''re pregnant? It''s not good to watch ugly faces¡­" Yera laughed at that. She and Xander both had this thinking that she could be pregnant already. "We never know yet¡­ But look how excited you are already." Yera commented. Xander only gave Yera a wink. They said if you want a thing to happen then assume that it would definitely happen. "Who knows¡­ I made sure I did it all in a ringless shot." Xander blurted that made Yera blush hard. Good thing Ryu and Arya already left or else Yera would die of embarrassment. "I miss you." She heard Xander say in his serious tone. She could see him inhaling and exhaling in the video with his shoulder going up and down. "Do you want me to go back there with you? I can fly there to be with you¡­" Yera whispered, trying to hide the trembling of her lips as her tears were building up. She wanted to hug her husband so tight, but she could not. Every night, her bed felt so empty and cold. Yera heard a sudden commotion, and Ron''s voice from Xander''s video. "What is going on?" she asked with concern. Xander smiled at her and said, "Nothing¡­ I just had a meeting that I forgot. I will call you again later, darling. Don''t skip meals. Bye. I love you." Yera stared at the screen of her mobile phone as Xander''s video got disconnected. Xander, on the other hand, faced Ron who was with Ralph. "Sir, we caught an intruder. We brought him into the confidential area." Ralph reported reporting to the private facility underground. The intruder disguised himself and tried to penetrate Yang Globals building to get to Xander. Xander went down to see the said intruder. The man grinned at him and said, "You will never get them. You will be a dead man before you do." Then like the other man, who tried to kill him in the ICU, he too died in that instant like he was being shut down. "Preserve his body like the other one and prepare it¡­ I will bring their bodies back to where they belong," Xander chided with a clenched fist. "Dead man huh¡­" Xander whispered. Everything was already prepared, and they were only waiting for a go signal from his mother''s aunt regarding the request for the audience. It looked like Yun was running out of ways to kill him¡­ to try doing a very readable trick such as this. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

She recalled how her friendship with Shane started in country V where she met Shane in the same hospital where Cali''s parents were brought after their accident. Her father was declared dead on arrival while her mother was in a coma, so she stayed in the hospital with her mother. ; Shane had undergone heart surgery in the same hospital and stayed in the VIP room just next to her mother''s. She was just fifteen at that time. She and Shane were the same age. They instantly clicked and became close very soon. Later, she transferred to her school and finished her study in the same university with the same course too. ; Cali sighed as she walked into her garden. Josh said Shane was doing all right. Well, Shane would absolutely not let Josh bully her. Josh could be a bully, but Cali knew she could trust the man, especially with her friend. ; "Cali dear. Shane''s brother is here." nanny Shine said. Cali ran to Kane and hugged him. ; She was close to Cali''s brothers too, but Kane was her favorite because he was the youngest and the jolly joker one. ; "I guess you missed me that much, huh? Sorry that I could not visit you after the accident¡­ Something came up in the family." Kane explained as Cali pulled him to sit on the chair. ; "That''s okay, Kane. Shane already told me." Cali simply answered. ; "About Shane¡­ Did you hear any news from her?" Kane directly asked and Cali only shook her head. ; "Shane will hide from me too for sure because she knows you will pester me about her first for sure. Can''t you all just convince uncle not to go ahead with that arranged marriage? Last time when I talked to Shane she said that you have partnered her with an old fat man that she can''t.." ; Cali stopped as Kane grabbed her hand and pressed it hard, signaling her to stop. ; Cali''s eyebrows collided and asked, "Why what''s wrong Kane?" ; Kane suddenly laughed and said, "Nothing, just that your new hairstyle distracted me." He tried to divert the topic and good thing Cali crumpled her face and answered, "I''m still pretty you know. How much more once it grows back¡­" ; Kane heaved a sigh of relief. He was being tapped. Mr. Long could hear his conversation with Cali and that old fat man would roar if Cali continued to say unpleasant things about him. He was relieved that Cali did not know where Shane was, but he doubted that Cali really did not know. ; How he wanted Shane could stay hidden forever. He too did not want his only sister to be in the hands of those corrupt people of their clan. A faction was happening inside the Yue Clan. Things got worse ever since the King went into a coma. ; ; So far Yun was acting in-charge instead of Raine because of the so-called seniority, so things turned more messy. ; Mr. Long held him by his neck and the rest of his brothers, including his father. Good thing Shane escaped before Mr. Long took any action. ; "Are you all right, Kane? I''m worried about Shane too. I tried her number several times but I think she has already changed it." Cali added to her acting. ; Just then Kane''s mobile phone rang, which made him gloomy. ; "Are you stupid, Kane? I need not hear your sweet nothings chatting with the b*tch! Just ask her where she thinks Shane will go!" Kane''s ears almost burst with Mr. Long''s yell. ; The call ended, and Kane''s jaw tightened. How he wanted to punch the old man till he bled his last drop of blood! ; "Ahm Cali, where do you think Shane would go? Do you have any ideas where she could have been." Kane asked, hoping Cali would not answer him. ; Cali paused as if she was thinking hard then she answered, "Shane is not familiar with people and places around here so I really don''t know. If I were her, I would stay in another country. Like some really far one, so no one among you could find me. Shane is an independent woman, Kane, and you know that." ; ; "Yes, I know." Kane commented. ; "Are you alone? I mean, how about big bros? And uncle?" Cali asked. ; "It''s just me Cali¡­" Kane answered. ; Cali twisted her face and said, "You should have called me and told me that you''re coming¡­ Where are you staying? Stay here in our house." ; Kane told her where he stayed. "If you plan to stay longer, I will go with you so you can pack up your things and come and stay here in our house. Geez Kane, we have plenty of guest rooms! You need some scolding for not informing me about your arrival beforehand!" ; Kane laughed, and his mobile phone beeped. ; [Stay in her house. We might hear soon from Shane through her.] ; Kane would love to, of course, stay at her home, but not now, knowing Cali could get involved in their family mess. ; But again he could not disobey the old man. ; After a little more chatting, Cali and Kane went back to his hotel to pick up Kane''s things. Cali did not go to his room and just waited for him in the hotel lobby. ; Shane''s family members were all very kind and generous to her. She too had stayed in their house for too long while studying, so she was aware how strict Shane''s family was in following rules. But she loved them all. Uncle Ben and big bros, Jun and Mil. ; She smiled when her mobile phone rang and saw it was Rui calling her up. ; "Would you like to have lunch with me? I am coming to pick you up," Rui asked, which made Cali blush. She was grateful Rui could not see her blushing though. ; "Oh, I''m out here in the hotel with a friend. Shane''s brother is here¡­ We just got his things so he can stay in our house." Rui heard Cali disclosed. ; His eyebrows drew together as he asked, "Where?

''Shane''s brother¡­'' he mused while driving. He, once again, was feeling restless. Shane was a part of that Yue clan, her entire family was in fact a part of it. Though Shane had clearly stated that her family was among good people who were against the corrupt people in their clan, but, they were still bound to follow the rules of the clan. And the fact remained that a trusted man of Yun was still manipulating Shane''s family so anytime something could go wrong. His mobile phone rang, and it was Ralph who briefed him about Shane''s brothers. "It is Kane Li who arrived in our country yesterday. Cali had lived in their house for years while she was studying there. So the Li Family is pretty much close and very good and kind to her. We found no negative record about the family. Their business is operating completely legally. Shane grew up with only her father and three brothers. It said that Cali is like a family to them too¡­" Ralph summarized the details they gathered about Shane''s family. Rui was comforted with the fact that the Li Family were respectable people. However, the possibility of Shane''s family to follow instructions from Yun''s man for hurting others, for the sake of their family, was what he feared about. Yun was Xander''s enemy. He was the mastermind behind all the plotting against Xander and that Mr. Long was surely a part of it all as one of the major officers of his men. He felt more frustrated because he could not even warn Cali to be cautious about her words and her relationship with Xander''s family, because she was not aware about Shane''s involvement with the Yue clan. "F*ck¡­" Rui cursed. Of all the people in this world, why would Cali get entangled with Shane? The irony of life was surely surprising. With how big the world was, how it looked too small for them because of each other''s links and connections. He walked into the lobby as soon as he arrived at the hotel. He smiled seeing Cali sitting on the couch but his smiling lips drew back in a snarl seeing Cali wave and smile brightly to a young man walking towards her with his baggage. He frowned, seeing how the man, who he presumed to be Kane, smiled back at her too, but he was full of glitters. He could instantly smell the meaning of that kind of smile, so he immediately walked fast towards them. "You''re here." Cali murmured with a bright warm smile, seeing Rui. She introduced the two who held hands for a handshake. "Who is he?" Kane directly asked at Cali. "My fiance," Cali bashfully answered. Rui''s mood was lifted up that instant, hearing those words from Cali. "What?! Since when? Why? Aren''t you too young still? Suddenly you''re engaged? Is this a prank on me Cali? It''s not funny at all!" Kane burst out in a row due to shock. It was unfortunate that he couldn''t just tell Cali how he felt because he was afraid that it could lead to a negative impact like Cali being uncomfortable with him. He loved how Cali was too close to him. Cali chuckled and answered, "Just recently. You look so surprised, so what if I''m young? It''s not like we will marry each other tomorrow. Anyway, let''s go eat lunch first in their restaurant here. I know you have a lot of questions and you can save that for later once we get home. We have plenty of time to catch up with Kane so don''t get worked up about it." Rui''s face soured hearing the last sentence from Cali but he quickly replaced that expression when Cali turned to him and excused herself to call her driver to get Kane''s luggage. Rui who was quietly observing Cali and Shane''s brother could easily tell that Kane liked Cali. The man was even bold enough to give him a scrutinizing look from head to toe. Kane frowned as he tried to look for something bad that he could tell Cali later about her fiance''s appearance, but unfortunately the bloody doctor looked well and even manly in his eyeglass. ''Damn! He''s exactly Cali''s type of man!'' Kane silently whimpered in annoyance. He tried wearing eyeglasses before, but Cali teased him to no limit and also said he looked like a nerd. Kane inwardly cursed several times but then smiled at Cali after her driver left with his baggage. He casually grabbed Cali''s wrist like he often did when she was living in their house to lead her towards the restaurant. Rui''s eyebrows arched at that bold move of the boy, so he grabbed Cali''s other hand, intertwining their fingers together and clasped it well. Cali bit her lip and looked at Kane who read her lips, ''What are you doing? Let go!'' Kane scratched his head because of Cali''s narrowed eyes, and he quickly released her wrist. With a crunchy face, he followed behind Cali and Rui. Cali bit her lower lip as she looked at Rui who looked distracted and¡­ She could not explain it but Rui seemed to be too serious? ''Could it be that he''s jealous?'' she thought with excitement. She could not help but to smile bashfully with her blushing face while feeling Rui''s warm palm on hers. They entered one of the hotel''s restaurants. Kane''s face could still not be painted at all as he faced the two sitting on the opposite chair. Rui met Kane''s gaze, then turned at Cali and said, "Isn''t it inconvenient for a man to stay inside your home? Did your grandfather agree to that?" Cali blinked several times and immediately answered, "No, it''s okay. Grandpa knows him. He knows Kane and all of Shane''s family too. Kane is like my brother." Rui nodded and said, "Oh I see¡­ So he''s like a brother to you, then I need not get worried about my fiance staying with a man right?" Kane''s face twisted. That Rui was obviously slamming him into his face. Well, he still had an upper hand because he would stay with Cali twenty four seven. "Cali and I have known each other for years and our bond is really very strong Dr. Dee. I know every single detail about Cali, I can even tell how many times she burped a day¡­" ''What the hell is wrong with the two of you?'' Cali panicked seeing the two men exchanging deadly glares and weird statements. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

"I heard Kane Li is a handsome YOUNG man, same as Cali''s AGE¡­" Xander teased putting stress on a few words, not letting his dear friend off that easily. It so happened that Ralph was with him when Rui called and asked for investigating and sending the details about Shane''s family. "He''s just a kid." Rui grunted while he sat on Xander''s couch. He rested his head on the backrest and closed his eyes. He shouldn''t give much thought to such a petty thing, but that Kane was getting on his nerves. Xander stood up and joined him on the opposite couch. "Based on your expression, I can tell that your lunch did not go well. I doubt if it''s because of Cali so it''s probably because of Shane''s brother." Xander pointed out with squinted eyes. Rui sighed and opened his eyes to give Xander a sharp glare. "When are we going to leave? Can you go first and I''ll follow you as soon as Kane has gone back to his country?" Xander had that crisp laugh and said, "Don''t tell me that Rui Dee is getting alarmed by a mere little boy? Bro, that Kane will not go back to country V unless he finds his sister. He''s the implant here to search wherever Shane is." Rui thought of that already, but he was not comfortable with Kane staying in Cali''s house like a snoop dog. "He had already stayed with Cali for so long while Cali did not meet you yet so what''s with this insecurity Rui? I''m sure Cali sees her only as a brother because if not, those two should have been an item already." Xander reiterated. Rui knew that as well, just that he was still feeling uneasy. He trusted Cali, but he did not trust the Kane guy. He had this cunning aura around him. He was ready to attack anytime for his advantage. He could tell by how Kane delivered his words that he would not retreat without having a fight. It was too easy for Xander to read what was going on in Rui''s mind. "I thought you wanna give Cali more time to adjust. Treat it as a test in your relationship and see if what Cali truly feels for you is really that deep." Xander added with a grin. Rui''s nostrils flared, and he scoffed, "Let''s change our roles, Dr. CEO. You become a psychiatrist and let me be the Dr. CEO." Another roaring laughter came from Xander. Rui was so sulky at that moment. Xander could not help but tease him more. "Did you tell Cali that you will leave soon?" Xander asked. Rui shook his head. He planned to tell her later when he saw her again at her home. Cali had invited him for dinner at home saying that she would be the one to cook. "Did you tell Yera about the plan?" Rui asked back, and Xander nodded. Rui hoped that their travel to country V would finally put an end to everything. He saw Xander give him a warm smile as he stood up and patted his shoulder. "I''m happy Rui to see you finally in love." He looked at Xander with empathy as the latter handed him a bottle of soda. He wanted to bring Xander out for dinner with him, but it would not be safe for Xander to go out. "Tomorrow, I will eat dinner here with you. Let??s drink beer together." Rui mumbled. Xander chuckled and said, "Nah, you don''t have to because I''m sure you want to be with Cali more often at this point of time. And I understand that feeling very well, so I prefer you make yourself present for Cali whenever you can. You know why? Because you never know how aggressive the young ones can be today. You also know love can also be developed over time." Rui simpered because Xander was intentionally picking up on him, he was too curious on how he would react. "Stop teasing me. I will bring Cali too with me tomorrow." Xander laughed and said, "Then I bet I will personally meet Kane also tomorrow." "No! We are not sure if he''s dangerous for you or not. Yun can also use him against you so that Kane will just stay wherever he is." Rui firmly stated, and Xander agreed because Rui did have a point. "Dion and Rizie would come and bring me dinner soon. Those two have been spending too much time with me lately, bringing so much food and making me fat." Xander mumbled as he looked at the wall clock. "I bet Yera has been asking them to check on you and make sure you eat a lot," Rui commented before he became serious and asked, "Are you nervous?" Xander heaved a deep sigh and nodded at Rui. Yes, he was nervous because he would face a powerful group soon. "But you have to stay strong bro and fight for your life. Don''t worry, I will always stay at your back the moment we arrive." Rui boasted. Xander chuckled and said, "And the more reason for me to become nervous, Rui¡­" Rui laughed as well because in terms of fighting skills Xander was much ahead of him. "Ralph would be with us so I guess it will be fine plus Keira''s husband too, so I''m sure we both will be safe. I heard that Chad is quite influential too¡­" "Rui, why don''t you stay behind instead and look after Yang Globals while I''m gone?" Xander suddenly suggested. To be honest, Rui was not really a part of the plan to go with him. Rui was the only one who requested him to get transferred at their facility there to avoid Cali but since everything seemed to go well with him and Cali already, he did not see the point for him to go there with him. "Are you sure about it?" Rui asked what made Xander roll his eyes. "What the heck? Are you just waiting for me to open it up?" Rui chortled with a nod. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

She was in her swimwear and sitting on a beach chair while sipping her ripe mango shake. "They are looking so adorable," Yera whispered while she grabbed her mobile phone. She sent her husband a simple text message. [I wish you''re here with me. I miss you.] Then she took a video of her in-laws and sent the same to her husband. Yera released a frustrated sigh. "I miss you," she whispered. She had never thought in her life that she would long for someone like that. She wanted to contact Ryu to bring her to her husband, even if it is just for a day. ''Maybe I should go to meet him before he leaves for country V?'' Yera mused. She decided that later she would seek help from Ryu to bring her to Yang Globals. Yera bit her lip, wondering if her husband would get angry once she showed up before him. Meanwhile, James and Riz were running and chasing each other. The weather was not too hot and was super nice for a beach day. It was fun playing in the water. He grabbed Liz by her waist as soon as he caught her and gave a quick kiss on her lips. Liz gently hit his chest. With burning red cheeks, she whispered, "Yera is also here, what if she is watching us." James chuckled and gently caressed her blushing cheeks. He felt so young whenever he was with Liz. He thought his stamina had already left him after so many years that passed by. But lately he could feel his body aggressively reacting whenever he was close to Liz, probably because of the thought Liz was his now. "Why are you so shy if you think we''re too old for this already? I bet Yera will even cheer for us being sweet like this with each other¡­" James teased, totally bewildered by her beauty. He chuckled on realising how funnily his body was reacting. He guessed his body was still not that old for an intimate physical contact as well. He cursed at his wild thoughts, then chuckled as he stopped himself from having such silly and naughty thoughts. Liz could not even meet his eyes because she was too shy with the way he was behaving with her. "Geez, stop that. You''re making me blush in embarrassment." James laughed and let her go. His gaze went at Yera''s direction. "She''s spacing out." James commented while looking at Yera not far from them, sitting quietly on a beach chair. Liz followed his gaze. She heaved a long sigh, and full of sympathy, whispered,. "Yes, she misses her husband, of course. I feel sad for the two of them. Let me check and talk to her." James nodded and watched Liz as she walked towards Yera. Yera was still in deep thought, staring at the blue waters that formed slight waves, reminiscing her days spent with Xander here, she was so lost in her thoughts that she did not even notice her mom Liz approaching. Yera smiled at mom Liz while the latter held her hands and gently squeezed them. "Hang in there, my dear. You and Xander will be together again very soon." The two women both waved at Senior Yang who seemed to be enjoying the waves of the water and kept yelling and waving at them, "Yahoo¡­" "He''s behaving like a kid!" Liz chortled. "Yeah, it''s been a long time since he had had a vacation in a relaxing place like this. Imagine him spending most of his time all alone with butler Gary in Yang mansion. He occasionally went out with friends to the golf club, but being with a partner and a companion for a lifetime is still the best hang out. Thank you mom Liz for showing up in time and making our father happy like this." Yera whispered. She was sure Xander would have said the same words if he had witnessed right now what she was seeing. "I''m grateful too that I met James¡­" Liz murmured with a sweet smile carved on her lips. She was already content that James had accepted her love for him. She would not demand the same feelings like she had towards him for herself. She knew today she was a person who could make him happy, someone he was comfortable with in all circumstances. He might not love her yet as deeply as he loved his late wife, Xander''s mother, but she knew that she held an important position in James'' heart and life, she was someone he respected and trusted and it was more than enough for her. ''Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.'' Liz silently recited that verse from the bible. One of her favorites¡­ Though she had not heard the exact words from James yet, Liz could feel it from his actions. She was always willing to wait for him, no matter how long it would take. With time, real love strengthens as you build trust. "Mom Liz, I''m planning to visit Xander before he goes to country V. I want to stay with him for at least a day." Yera opened up. Liz turned towards Yera and said, "Dear, will that be okay? I mean Xander wants to ensure your safety, that''s why you''re here." Yera bit her lower lip. Yes, she was aware of that, but she trusted Ryu would ensure her safety. They would travel by air so it would be hard for the enemies to tail her. Besides, no one would come to know that she had gone in the helicopter. She would disguise herself as a VIP patient for the whole scene. She had already planned it, and later she would ask Ryu if it''s workable. "Just for one day¡­ I really miss him too much," Yera stammered with wet eyes and Liz pulled her in for a hug. Her heart was aching too, seeing Yera in that state. She would always smile and laugh with them, but deep in her heart she was longing for her husband so much. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Cali greeted him with a warm smile and Rui smiled back at her but his lips suddenly turned downwards seeing Kane standing right behind Cali. "Hello Dr. Dee. I heard doctors have busy schedules. Aren''t you here a bit early today?" Kane commented as he sat down on the sofa beside Cali. Last night the clingy doctor also ate dinner with them. Kane could feel the tension spread between them. Dr. Dee was obviously guarding Cali from him, and he felt proud that the doctor felt intimidated with his presence. It only meant that the doctor was seeing him as a competitor against Cali''s attention. ''Well, you''re right, dude! I will not let Cali end up with you!'' Kane mused. He heard that it was just an arranged marriage between them, so he felt that he still had a chance with Cali. He knew that Cali liked Dr. Dee, but Kane strongly believed that Cali was only infatuated with him. Rui ignored Kane. Instead, he looked at Cali and with a smile said, "Get changed. I will wait for you. We will go on a date today." "Really?" Cali burst out happily and quickly stood up to change when Rui nodded. "Cali wait¡­ I want to go with you both too!" Kane yelled and ran to follow Cali who ran quickly like a flash to her room. Rui too stood up and cursed. "What a shameless guy," he unconsciously whispered as he controlled himself from following behind the two of them. He heard nanny Shine laugh as she approached Rui with a tray of juice. "Will that brat follow Cali in her room too?" Rui candidly asked. "Don''t worry Dr. Dee¡­ He can''t and he won''t even cross Cali''s door or else he''ll be dead. Those two are just like siblings. They like to banter and bully each other." Nanny Shine explained. ''Surely Cali feels that way, but that Kane doesn''t share the same feeling as of siblings with Cali.'' Rui wanted to add, but he kept his composure and smiled at nanny Shine. He sat back in his seat and waited for Cali. Meanwhile, outside Cali''s room, Kane was whining. "Cali¡­ I''m so bored here alone. Can I tag along with you guys? Promise I will behave." "Shut up Kane and get lost. What are you trying to be, a third wheel? It''s not for me to decide, but Rui. It''s the first time he asked me out on a date so shoo and don''t jinx it! I swear I will break your neck." Cali grunted while she was busy picking up what to wear. Kane stomped his feet and walked back to the living room where Rui was waiting for Cali. He sat on the opposite couch and simply said, "Cali said I can tag along if you agree." Rui frowned and muttered, "She said that?" Kane gulped and met his gaze, "Well not exactly like that but she said it''s for you to decide since you''re the one who asked her out." "How old are you Kane?" Rui glared at him and asked in a straight voice. Rui''s eyebrows flinched. ''Same as Cali so?'' he mused but instead asked, "Have you ever been in a relationship? Or did you have a girlfriend before?" "Not yet, but I will pursue someone soon¡­" Kane bluntly answered, emphasizing a double meaning. Rui ignored it but the boy was really getting on his nerves. "That''s good for you then. So if for example you ask your girlfriend on a date and she happens to have her guy best-friend around¡­ Do you think you will like it when the guy joins you and your girlfriend, especially when you will have a lovely moment together as a couple? You know, like kissing, hugging... Will you allow that guy to spoil the mood?" Rui asked with lifted eyebrows, curious about the way Kane would respond to his provocative words. "Doc, if you are trying to apply a psychological approach to me then let me tell you this¡­ It won''t work, and I don''t answer hypothetical nonsensical questions? I don''t plan on coming to that point once I am in a relationship, so it''s okay for me if you two go without me. Cali will return home soon, anyway, and I can play with her later at night¡­" Kane answered with a smirk. "You¡­" Rui mumbled with a collapsed forehead but quickly composed himself seeing Cali was approaching towards them. "Let''s go?" Cali said and looked at Kane, "Behave while I''m gone!" "Yes, madam. Can you buy me something when you come back home¡­ Please¡­" Kane with his puppy eyes twinkling at Cali pleaded. Cali laughed and even messed up Kane''s hair before saying, "Alright." Rui wanted to hit the boy''s head when Kane gave him an irritating snigger as soon as Cali turned her back on him. ''What a sinister boy!'' Rui complained, but he answered him with a smirk as he pulled Cali''s hand and tightly clasped it together in his. ''Take that!'' he silently rejoiced seeing Kane''s dismal face when he also put his arm on Cali''s shoulders afterwards. In his entire life, Rui did not imagine himself being so childish like he was now. If he could, he wanted to smash that fly roaming around his Cali. While he was busy smashing Kane in his head, Rui failed to notice how Cali''s face turned red with the way he touched her and almost embraced her within his warm arms. ''Could it be that he is falling for me?'' Cali was too giddy as she formed various sweet thoughts in her head. She wondered where they would go and how sweet their first date would be. "We will have an early date and go to watch a movie first, then let''s have dinner and a drink with Xander later at night is that okay?" Rui informed her as soon as they were inside the car. ''It''s okay as long as I''m with you.'' Cali wanted to reply as that, but she was too shy. Instead, she just nodded and gave Rui her wonderful smile. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

She pleaded to Keira to help her to at least spend some fleeting time with her husband before Xander traveled to country V. Yera knew Xander would face a very difficult and dangerous situation without her being by his side, so she wanted to at least pamper her husband for one more night. It was already dark, Xander had told her that he would have dinner and drink with Rui that night so she assumed that her dear husband would already be snoozing in his private room. Xander''s office was heavily guarded, but everyone knew her and Ralph had already instructed his men about her arrival. She entered Xander''s office and looked around, reminiscing the memories of the time they had spent there. They used to eat together on the couch. Then her eyes shifted to Xander''s private room. "It''s been a while¡­" Yera whispered as her fingers touched the fingerprint scanner on the door that opened instantly. Yera entered the room. The dim light was enough for her to see her husband sleeping soundly on his bed. She carefully walked towards him, making sure not to make a sound and interrupt his slumber. She gently joined him on the bed and stared at his handsome face. Yera laid sideways to face him. Her face was so close to Xander that she could feel his warm breathing on her face. She chuckled when she smelled a bit of alcohol from him. She wondered if her husband was dreaming because he would occasionally frown. "What is it?" she whispered while her fingers gently caressed his husband''s face. "I missed you badly," Yera whispered as she moved closer to feel his warmth and gave him a gentle kiss. Xander''s sluggish eyes slowly opened, and he smiled. "What a perfect dream," Xander huskily whispered and pulled Yera closer for a tight hug and a heartfelt intense kiss. "I miss you¡­" Xander muttered in between kisses, thinking it was only a dream. Yera kissed him back, and she even rolled on top of her husband. She could taste the alcohol and the toothpaste brand mixed in his mouth. She pulled herself and stared at her husband who was steadfastly looking at her. He was caressing her cheeks while he murmured, "I don''t want to wake up if my dreams are always like this." Yera gave him a smile but did not dare talk back. Instead, she slowly stripped off her clothes in front of Xander one by one until none left. Xander''s breathing was craggy. He had a lot to drink after Rui and Cali left. He drank so much so he could have a long knocked out sleep without too much missing and longing for his lovely wife. He had to leave for country V the next day and the thought of an unknown amount of time away from Yera was really bothering him badly. The Almighty must have taken pity on him that he felt that he was granted with such a perfect dream alone with his wife like this. Yera''s warmth felt so real. Her kiss¡­ Her body against his¡­ so real... Without him knowing, Xander''s eyes welled up, then tears fell from his eyes. Yera saw that, and her tears also ran down her face. She leaned down on him and kissed his tears away. Yera felt Xander enclosed her in a tight embrace as he moved sideways, intertwining their bodies as tight as he could. Yera chuckled and whispered, "This drunkard¡­ You''re not dreaming, darling. I''m here in flesh with you. Can you now release me so I can love you all night long?" "It''s too good to be true," Xander sluggishly muttered, still in denial. He would not let her go because he was too afraid that if he would let her go, she would instantly disappear. Yera let Xander hold her while she kissed him on the lips. Xander kissed her back. They stayed like that for too long, savoring each other''s lips like they''ve never been together for ages. None dared to pull out, even though they were almost breathless. Yera rolled on top of her husband while her hands glided in his body, caressing his every muscle from the chest, his sides, his stomach, his hips before it went to his groin. It was so hard and kept on poking at Yera. She gently caressed and rubbed it, which brought a sweet groan on Xander''s mouth. She released his lips to shower his neck with kisses, going down to his chest, but Xander quickly pulled her back to his lips. Yera chuckled because her dear husband seemed to be in his dream still with him whispering in himself, "Don''t you dare wake up¡­" before he once again claimed his wife''s lips. He was obviously reminding himself not to wake up. The night was young and Yera wondered how long her husband had planned to convince himself that he was in a dream. She moved and brushed her lower body at him. Then he gently bit Xander''s lower lip to give him some pain to realize he was not dreaming. Xander stared at her closely, and Yera winked. "I love you." she whispered with her eyes looking deep into his, full of love and passion. Then what followed was a sweet moan as she started to let him enter her opening. "Darling?" Xander murmured, eyes still fixed together. Yera nodded and sealed his lips as she began her love rhythm to show her husband how much she had missed him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

It took a while before her husband realized he was not dreaming. And once he realized it, he ended up locking her in the bed with him and not letting her off from the bed. She wanted to sleep more but her husband barely gave her any time to sleep. She presumed that the sun was already up by the bright rays of sun coming inside their private room from an open blind. "Darling, let''s sleep a little¡­" she breathed while her hands grabbed Xander''s hair. "Do you really think I can allow you to sleep after barging into my privacy like that? No, darling, we will never sleep and you will not get out of this room either." Xander mumbled as he showered his wife with nerve shivering kisses. He wanted to scold his wife for surprising him like this, but at the same time he too was so glad and grateful to be with her like this, even just for this fleeting moment. His hunger would not be quenched that easily because his yearning for his wife was too unyielding. Yera moaned when she felt her husband''s lips biting her hard nipples while his other hand was playfully caressing her other breast, tweaking the other nipple with his fingers. He was waking her up with a bit of pain and pleasure. Yera chuckled and whispered, "Are you punishing me?" She bit her lip hard when she felt him feeding on her nipples and gently pulling it. "It''s your fault¡­ You''re too stubborn," Xander replied with his warm breath sending warm sensational breath on her skin. Yera missed it so much, the familiar feeling of her husband licking and sucking on her nipple simultaneously. His hand went further south, caressing her flower that was still wet with his juices mixed with hers. He was tracing her line with his finger, rubbing her and making her moan. His finger played on her small nub, giving her the tingling sensation that only his touch could do. She spread her legs, ready to accept her husband''s length inside her once again. Soon enough, she felt his hardness brushing in her line. She howled in pleasure when his length thrust deep inside of her. He was still kissing her breasts, nibbling her nipples while he moved in and out of her, sending waves of pleasure all over her craving body. She heard her name being called by her husband in his hoarse voice all over again followed by continuous, "I love you" while he sped up his thrust, digging as deep as he could. Yera shuddered in ecstasy as she danced in perfect unison with his every thrust. Harder and faster and Yera soon shook in pleasure underneath Xander. Both of them were gasping for air. Xander gently pulled out and laid beside her while pulling his wife''s body close to his, hugging her tightly. "I can''t believe all of them did not even tell me about this." Xander whispered, pertaining to people that were involved with Yera''s unexpected arrival. Yera chuckled and said, "Because I threatened them¡­ I will also go back later¡­ For the meantime, I will now get up and prepare breakfast for you darling," Yera muttered, trying to get up since it was already morning. "It''s too early¡­ Let''s stay together like this until our stomach grumbles. I''ll just ask Ron to leave our breakfast outside." Xander mumbled, not letting her out from his embrace. The couple stayed like that, staring at each other and caressing each other''s face, kissing in between savouring the warmth of each other. "If you take too long in that country, I will follow in case my pregnancy test is negative." Yera declared, full of determination. If it was only herself, then she would rather face the danger with her husband. "And if it''s positive, you have to promise not to be stubborn and stay safely at the island¡­" Xander murmured in a raised brow. Yera pursed her lips¡­ Yes, she had no choice but to stay because she did not want to lose another baby if that happened. It would be too heartbreaking for them both and thus she would be more careful and considerate of her body this time. Xander knitted his eyebrows and repeated, "Promise me, darling." Yera nodded and nudged herself more to her husband, "Finish everything and make sure you come back to me safe and sound..." "Yes, I promise¡­ I will come back soon, darling. You and our baby should wait for my return¡­" Xander murmured that made Yera laugh because her husband was here again with his premonition that she was pregnant. "Don''t laugh at me¡­ I told you, you''re pregnant¡­ Soon to be preggy darling." Xander chortled. "Alright¡­ We will see but first lemme go cause the baby will get hungry soon." Yera jested, and Xander laughed. He loosened his hug and Yera went directly to the bathroom to have a quick shower, but Xander followed her, never sparing a moment to let his wife be out of his arms. And another lovemaking session started there, in the shower room where Xander pinned Yera on the glass wall and took her from behind. They stayed inside the private room, cuddling and kissing. Ron left the take out food inside the office and Yera even fed her husband like she used to when she was working in Yang Globals, pampering him until the remaining hours left for them to be together. "It feels like we''re snatching burrowed hours." Yera voiced out with pouted lips. Xander chuckled and pinched her nose. "Get ready, I will see you off." Xander breathed. He also had to leave soon. Yera heaved a long deep frustrated sigh before getting up from her husband''s hug to get dressed. Yera walked first. They were about to get out from the private room when Xander grabbed her hand and suddenly pulled her back into a tight hug. Yera embraced him back, and they stayed like that for long minutes. There was only silence and heavy breathing inside the room. Both of them did not want to let go of each other. "Please bring me with you, I hate to live a single day without you by my side." Yera murmured. Xander sighed and whispered, "No, I can''t. Let me be at peace while I''m fighting with them, knowing that you are at least in a safer place where no harm can come your way." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Ralph and his most elite security team were with him. He went out of the aircraft and smiled at the man waiting for his arrival. It was John, aka Chad. Xander hugged the man and said, "It''s been a while, man. Look at you¡­" Chad looked so manly and more mature now. Chad laughed and replied, "I know right¡­ I''m still not used to this. I prefer being a bodyguard, guarding only one person than racking my brains out on thinking how to maintain peace and order to an entire community..." "You can''t fight destiny, especially if you''re bound for it." Xander commented. "Wow, your security team looks deadly." he added seeing how big the armed men were with Chad. Chad laughed and muttered, "That''s mandatory. A bouncer aura. So they look more scary." "I hope they are scary enough to keep my body intact from Yun''s men while I''m here." Xander jested. "Don''t worry Doc because I will personally see to it that you''re safe or else Keira will kill me." Chad replied. "But I heard you''re a busy man. Running for presidency is tough that''s why it''s enough to just lend me some of your men. You don''t have to escort me like this..." Xander commented as he went inside an armored car with Chad. "See how tight my security is with me? Because I''m running for presidency, hence it''s better you stay close to me. No one will be brave enough to touch me knowing I''m the successor of Quan Clan. Yue Clan will be the first wanted clan if anything bad happens to me so they will not make an unwise move." Chad explained. Inside the car, Chad did not spare a moment and discussed with Xander the detailed organizational chart of the Yue clan. "How come there is no photo of this Raine?" Xander asked, seeing there was no photo of the King''s daughter in the chart. "King Marcus forbids it. He wants the privacy of his only daughter so only his top officials can recognize her. Well, except of course for people whom the princess discloses her identity." Chad explained. "We will soon meet her knowing the King''s condition, she will succeed and lead the group¡­ Hopefully she could be a better leader than her father." Chad went on and continued with further briefing. In two days'' time, he would meet everyone, face to face. That Yun, he would make sure that the old man would face his worst nightmare, ten fold the pain he had caused to his family. Xander felt Chad tapped his shoulder and said, "Don''t worry, man. We will make sure that justice is properly served for all his wrongdoings. Everyone in the Yue clan who is involved in this has to pay." Xander nodded, "They have to pay¡­ No matter what it takes, I will make sure that no one will bring harm to my family so I have to end this by all means." ...¡­. At an underground facility of country V''s Capital City¡­ "How is he?" Raine asked the group of doctors monitoring the vitals of her father, King Marcus. He was inside a metal capsule, with a lot of tubes attached to his body. He fell in a coma but his body was still intact and all his organs were still well. In short, he was not yet dead. They had to try all means to revive him unless he stopped breathing on his own. "He''s stable for now. He will be ready to open his eyes in a month." the doctor confirmed and Raine signaled everyone to leave her alone, except for Tyron, in the private room where her father lies. Every corner of the room was heavily guarded with hidden cameras and not to mention the laser beams. One wrong move made by anyone, that would compromise the King''s safety and a beam would hit that body and shred into pieces in an instant. His safety was the top priority. ''One month,'' Raine mused. You would never get bored with how time flies. Next day you were up and that one month was almost there. Xander was running out of time and she could no longer assure his safety after that month, safety not just from her hands but also from her father. Her father was not yet aware of Xander''s existence. Only her uncle Yun was, because fortunately her uncle Yun was too arrogant to seal everything and take the credit once he totally wiped out the twins'' last bloodline. It was the only way for him to succeed in the Yue Clan''s throne next, whether or not her father woke up from his coma. It really made little sense to her at all¡­ She was sure there was a secret behind it that only her father and uncle Yun were aware of¡­ A secret behind her birthright that was why Yun was too blunt and bold about saying she did not have the right to claim leadership at Yue Clan, giving her an impression that only who could kill Xander Yang had the right to claim the throne of Yue Clan. Tyron''s mobile phone vibrated and after reading his text message, he whispered something in Raine''s ear. She looked at an angle where her uncle was watching her for sure. With a smirk, she declared, "Time''s running uncle. I guess I have no choice but to kill him first before you do. You''re such an incapable man. You should retire¡­" She went out of the room and instructed Tyron, "I will leave you to take care of the matters in here. I will return to the island first. I will entrust Xander with you while I''m gone. Give him a proper welcome. After all, he''s my long-lost nephew, he should be treated accordingly." "Make sure everything is properly arranged Tyron. Before that month ends I want everything cleaned up without a trace before father wakes up¡­ A thorough clean up that not even a speck of dust would be seen." Raine added with a devious smile as she walked past the hallway while she anticipated what could happen next. Too bad that she would not be available to welcome Xander on his arrival and enter the actual world full of power struggles. "Welcome At Yue Clan in advance Dr. CEO. Welcome to my world." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

After confirming her safe arrival back on the island, Xander also left for country V and promised Yera that he would call her as soon as he safely arrived in Chad''s place, under the territory and protection of the Quan Clan. She pouted her lips while she touched the flower of a rose blooming at Ryu''s garden, surrounding his mansion. "Ouch!" she winced and squeezed more blood out from her finger that got pricked by the rose thorns while she tried to pluck it. "What happened, dear?" Yera heard mom Liz from behind. She was with her father-in-law with a tray of cut fresh fruits for her. Yera smiled and said, "Nothing mom Liz¡­ Just got a small prick." Then Yera grabbed the tray and walked to one of the resting tables and chairs in the garden. "Father, I talked to bro Ryu and his manager will have everything arranged for the wedding." Yera happily informed. Senior Yang gave Yera a timid smile. "Thank you, dear, but I really prefer to delay it after we settle everything." Senior Yang voiced out pertaining with Xander''s absence, and mom Liz seconded the idea. "Xander said next month everything will be settled so while we are waiting¡­ Let''s do some preparation." Yera excitedly mumbled that she even showed mom Liz the wedding gown designs her designer sent her. Liz was blushing hard. To be honest, she did not want a grand wedding. All she wanted was to be with James and registering the marriage and getting the certificate would be enough for her. But James was the one who disagreed, saying she should have a proper wedding ceremony because it only happened to a woman once in a lifetime and James wanted to see her wearing a wedding dress. Yera watched the elder couple in front of her with her father-in-law giving comments at each wedding dress on how they would look at mom Liz who was too red already from blushing hard. She forked some melon, watermelon, mangoes and other fruits from the serving plates on her plate. Liz noticed it. "Dear, I noticed you''re eating a lot lately. You must maintain your sexy figure unless¡­" Mom Liz stated with a pause. Yera laughed and tittered, "Hahaha. I know what you''re thinking, mom Liz. Xander too thinks the same, but that''s too early to foretell and confirm. Actually, I''ve just started eating a lot since Xander left¡­ This way I can keep myself busy by filling my stomach." "We''ll know after a few weeks I guess," James interrupted, sounding giddy as the same thought also crossed his mind. "Liz, let Yera eat more besides she''s eating healthy food and it''s also good for the immune system and body." James added and even put more fruits on Yera''s plate. The sudden ringing on Yera''s mobile phone interrupted the cheerful conversation of the three. It was a video call from Xander so she immediately answered it. "Darling I will call you back later. Say my regards to dad and mom, Liz." Xander muttered. "They can hear you. They are with me¡­" Yera answered with a smile and shifted the camera focus towards her mom, Liz and father-in-law who waved at Xander. "Son, always take care. Never let your guard down.." Senior Yang reminded his son. "Yes dad, I understand. Don''t worry and enjoy the stay there with mom, Liz and Yera. I will return soon." Xander answered and then bid his farewell to Yera before he ended the call. Sadness clouded Yera''s features when the call ended, but quickly formed an enormous smile so her in-laws would not notice it. Instead, she forked fruits in one chew. Then she commented, "Mom Liz, I agree with father-in-law, the mermaid dress will look good on you." She did not want to spoil the mood of them both, whom she wanted to let have some fun with each other, while staying at the island with her. She too did not want to worry much because she believed in her husband''s capabilities. Yet, she could not help but worry deep in her heart. After quite some time, Yera bid farewell to her in-laws to go back to her room because she suddenly felt sleepy. As usual, she would always say a silent prayer for her husband''s safety before going to bed. At the garden, Senior Yang had the same sentiments as Yera. He too tried not to worry that much, but he couldn''t help as well to do so. If only he could, he would be the one facing the triad alone, but he was not qualified. Only Xander could be entertained for such an audience. All he could do was to keep on praying for his son''s safety and hope that everything would end up well. He felt Liz grabbed his hand into hers and kissed it. No words were needed¡­ Just those simple gestures from her with her loving expression and smile of encouragement was enough to give him the comfort he needed at this time. "How about we do some barbecue later for dinner here at the garden? Then let''s play some games with Yera to have fun together. Oh wait, let''s do it at the beach with some bonfire. I will ask Regan to help with the arrangements¡­" Liz excitedly suggested. Hoping it would somehow ease the weariness for James and Yera. "If Xander is not busy, he can eat and play with us also later through video call." Liz added with her sparkling eyes. James chuckled and nodded. "That would be a great idea hon." he praised with a tease because he loved how Liz would blush whenever he called her hon. Liz pursed her lips while a bashful smile escaped her beautiful lips. She was aware her cheeks were becoming red because James gently pinched and caressed those. She felt like a flower in bloom. Well, she was definitely a delayed bloomer, but at least she had the chance to experience how to bloom. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

He called Cali and told her he would pick her up on a date to compensate with the one they cancelled before since they went directly to Xander because of the urgent call he got from him. Turns out Xander endorsed a lot of works for him before leaving for country V the next day. He no longer went out from his car since Cali''s grandfather was not at home. Instead, he asked Cali to go out directly because he did not want to get annoyed seeing Kane''s annoying gestures. Cali smiled and quickly went inside Rui''s car. This date was considered being their first date, and she was too excited. Rui brought her to an exclusive cinema, Cali was too happy that she could not even focus on the movie because she was too distracted by Rui''s closeness. Rui on the other hand was thinking whether he would extend his arm on Cali''s shoulders or not. He already did that before for showing off and irritating Kane, but at that moment, he felt so timid. "Are you alright?" he heard Cali ask. She probably noticed that he was moving restlessly now and then on his seat. "Uhm yeah. I''m good." Rui answered. Cali pulled up the armrest between them and offered Rui some popcorn. "Do you want to eat?" he heard Cali offered. Rui nodded but did not pick up some popcorn. He saw Cali raise her arm with the popcorn while she said, "here." Rui unconsciously opened his mouth and received it. Cali was being giddy while she fed Rui the popcorn. It felt so good that he was reciprocating her actions. Rui did not like popcorns but because Cali was feeding it to him he suddenly felt like he could finish them all. ''Since when did popcorn start tasting so good?'' he mused because he did not like very salty food and Cali asked for that cheesy flavor. Maybe it was Cali''s finger that made the popcorn taste so good and he could lick her fingers too now and then. Cali offered him her drink too, Rui had a sip. Even Cali''s drink was too sweet for him but he did not mind since it''s Cali''s drink and it felt like kissing her. Rui coughed at the silly thought coming inside his head. Then he realized Cali was already his official fiance, so why was he acting so weird and timid. It was so out of his age. He exhaled loudly and nonchalantly put his arm on Cali''s shoulders while whispering, "I think it''s a bit cold." But then his face cringed because Xander would surely laugh at the way he was acting at that moment. He too was surprised to notice that even his heart was beating irregularly, especially when he felt Cali rested her head on his chest. ."Rui," he heard Cali''s whispering sound. "Hmmm?" he breathed. "Your heart¡­ I can hear it." Cali whispered. "I think it''s because you''re close to me," Rui replied huskily. Cali closed her eyes and thought they would kiss, but nothing happened for a long time. She opened her eyes and saw Rui was now completely focused on the screen. "The killer is his best friend? For real? What a suspense!" Cali heard Rui mumble. Cali''s face wrinkled as she put her eyes back on the screen. Just when she thought a passionate kiss would follow¡­ but it turned out Rui was too engrossed in what they were watching on the screen. When the movie ended, Cali could not hide her sullen mood. "What''s wrong?" Rui asked. "Nothing," Cali simply answered as they headed back in the car. Rui''s forehead puckered as he watched Cali hurriedly go inside his car as soon as he opened it. He followed her and started the engine but did not drive yet. Instead, Rui turned his head towards Cali and asked, "You have to tell me what''s wrong. You''re so transparent Cali and I can sense that you''re annoyed with me." Cali pursed her lips. It was too embarrassing if she told Rui that she''s annoyed for not being kissed. ''How humiliating it can be!'' Cali mused, irritated too at herself for being too transparent even with such an insignificant matter. Rui might even think she''s a kiss maniac if he finds out about it, but she really wanted to kiss him at that moment. She felt Rui''s hands on her shoulder, trying to turn her to face him. "Cali¡­ Communication is very important in a relationship. It plays a vital role for a lasting relationship. You have to tell me what I did wrong or what is bothering you because I will never know otherwise." Rui explained because he was confused on why Cali was acting weird. Cali got red as she bit her lip and met Rui''s intent gaze at her. "It''s because¡­ I thought¡­ you¡­ will k..i..s..s me inside," Cali stuttered as she said the words. She struggled as she tilted her head down with embarrassment. Rui tried his best to suppress his laughter. He also wanted to kiss Cali that time, her closed eyes and parted lips were like an open invitation for him, but he controlled the urge because he did not want Cali to think he was taking too much advantage of her. If he only knew it would offend Cali like that, then he should have kissed her the whole time they were in the theatre. He held Cali''s chin so she could face him. He gently caressed her blushing cheek and muttered, "Silly, didn''t you feel how much I wanted to kiss you all the day long? I even want you to stay with me often." Cali''s eyes blinked in disbelief and instantly she pounced at Rui. "If you want to kiss me anytime, you don''t need to hold back. I''m your fiance now. I always thought the older men are more aggressive, didn''t know I would get a shy one." Cali mumbled in pouted lips. Instead of answering, Rui gently kissed Cali on her lips, sucking her upper and lower lips simultaneously before letting his tongue invade her inner mouth. Cali ended up gasping for air when Rui released her lips. "We have to stop¡­" Rui whispered and sat straight on his seat to drive. If he would not stop, his hands would start moving on Cali''s body soon and he was afraid to go beyond more. Cali smiled as she unconsciously touched her lips. She quickly removed it when Rui spoke, "Let''s eat dinner." ''Then I''ll take you home¡­'' was supposed to be Rui''s next words, but he wanted to take Cali to his home instead away from that Kane. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

"I thought we''re going to have dinner outside?" Cali asked when she noticed Rui had parked his car in his garage. Her heart pounded hard while various naughty thoughts came and went into her mind. ''Why did we come to his home? Oh gosh, what underwear did I wear today?'' Cali panicky mused. Then she blushed, recalling the almost intimate moment they shared inside Rui''s room. She wanted to pull her hair for having such perverted thoughts. She was in that state of dumbfoundedness when Rui opened the car door for her. "Let''s go up. I decided to cook dinner for you tonight instead since it''s too early to go for dinner out, anyway. Today I will treat you to a gourmet dinner at home instead." Rui specified with an enticing smile. Cali felt like she had been splashed with a bucket full of water for being such a perverted lady for having unnecessary thoughts about coming to his home. She gave Rui an awkward smile before accepting his hand and went out of the car. But then another wave of excitement built in her body at the thought of watching Rui cook for her. ''He is already handsome, how much more handsome will he look while cooking?'' "You always cook for me so this time I will do the cooking for you, and I hope you will like the food too." Rui added as they entered his house. "I won''t take long. Feel at home while I''m in the kitchen." Rui murmured, and Cali nodded. She looked around Rui''s home. It was an enormous house with a nice open veranda from the living area and she bet there were a lot of rooms too upstairs. She stood up on the couch and looked at the various displays at the living area. Her lips curved into a lovely smile seeing many of Rui''s photos were with Xander. "He''s so handsome," she whispered with a chuckle then she saw a picture of a woman with a child. "It must be his mother. What a beauty! So lovely," Cali muttered, looking at the stunning woman in the photo. She then walked at the wide veranda connected with the living area. The view of the sunset was so relaxing from there that Cali was tempted to sit on the chair and watch it. However, she also wanted to watch Rui while cooking so she enthusiastically walked towards the kitchen. "Chef, what are you cooking for the queen today?" Cali grinned and teased as she sat on the kitchen counter table. Rui heard her words. He gave her a wide smile and said, "Seared salmon with spiced sweet potatoes and pasta. My queen, please tell me what else would you prefer to eat?" Cali was completely captivated by that sensual smile of the handsome man standing in front of her calling her his queen and throwing a bouquet of honeyed words at her. Rui cooperated with her photo taking session while he washed some potatoes. He felt a bit shy with Cali taking his photos though. "Anything you cook will do for me. I''m not a picky eater, but I love anything that is tasty." Cali answered while her eyes peered on Rui. "Then I''ll make you creamy broccolini pasta with chile breadcrumbs," Rui noted. "Do you need help?" Cali offered herself for help and stood up. "Where''s the apron? I feel stiff staying on my seat." she asked. "Are you sure?" Rui asked and Cali nodded several times. He picked an apron and put it on Cali with his arms, almost wrapping Cali in his embrace who held her breath for that moment, smelling Rui''s manly scent. She wondered if there was something wrong with her because she noticed Rui had a very huge effect on her emotions whenever he was very close to her¡­ Giving her this tingling feeling she could not explain whenever he was near. Rui''s eyes met hers¡­ and there was like this magnetic force between their gaze¡­ Rui lowered his head¡­ ''Oh, my gosh¡­ he is going to give me a kiss!'' Cali inwardly yelled, anticipating what would happen next. But her mobile phone suddenly rang, interrupting that magical moment between the two of them. She saw Rui, still with his face close to hers, grinned while he whispered, "Answer the call¡­" Cali nodded, eyes still on Rui as she raised her arm and put her mobile phone on her ear. "What took you so long to pick the phone?! I cooked your favorite creamy pasta! Tell your boyfriend to bring you back early!" Kane scolded on the other line, and Rui heard the man''s loud voice from the phone. "Dummy! Who told you to wait for me? Put that in the fridge and I''ll eat it tomorrow¡­ I''m on a date!" Cali answered with collapsed brows, breaking her eye connection from Rui who frowned when he realised it was Kane who called and that too to call her back home. Rui signaled Cali to give him her phone. Although confused, Cali handed Rui her mobile phone. "Hello¡­ Cali¡­ how can you do this to me? Leaving your important guest alone in your lonely mansion. You should help me out to locate Shane instead of going out on dates. You''re already engaged so you need not go out often. Are you forsaking me?" Kane continued blabbering on the other line, trying his best to make Cali feel guilty for ignoring and leaving him by himself. Rui''s eyebrows flickered in annoyance. He sighed and firmly said, "Stop pestering my fiance when we''re on a date. And yes, don''t wait for her because she is going to sleep at my place tonight¡­" Kane''s jaws tightly clenched hearing those blunt words from Rui. ''Is he nuts? Cali sleeping in his place when they are not married yet?! Did he want to die?'' Kane irritably mused. He was about to say more words, but the call ended abruptly. He tried to make another call, but Cali''s mobile phone was turned off. "F*ck that prick!" Kane yelled inside his room and was about to throw his mobile phone away but controlled himself from doing so. He wanted to shout and cry! He could not lose Cali that easily to that old man! As he sat in his room cursing Rui and scheming to gain Cali''s favour, his mobile phone rang, and Kane cursed again upon seeing the caller. He forgot that his mobile phone was bugged too, so that Mr. Long surely heard his rant. "What does he want now?" Kane mumbled before answering the call. "You crybaby! I told you to look for Shane and not play a loser heartbroken as* there! What is wrong with you, huh? You''re from Yue Clan and you''re behaving like a bloody loser?! If you want that woman you can easily take her! Once we found Shane don''t worry I will help you get the woman you like! But for now, focus on finding your sister!" Kane heard Mr. Long yell before ending the call. Kane suddenly hit his head with his mobile phone. "You dummy!" he scolded himself, hoping he would not put Cali in danger due to his stupidity. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

She even toned down her attitude by using less harsh words and started playing a damsel in distress in front of Josh. It was late afternoon when she came out of her room to check on Josh. She walked in the lobby and went to the reception area where Josh was often seated. She was actually very impressed and saluted Josh for being a hands-on Boss in his business. He was monitoring his business very well, unlike some owners who would hire people to manage things for them, boss around them and just kept waiting for the reports Josh personally made sure that all the guests were taken care of properly and were satisfied with their services. Josh saw Shane coming towards him and was anxious again on seeing her. She signaled him to follow her. Josh bit his lip because he wanted to avoid Shane as much as possible. She was acting very clingy and touchy with him for a few days. He had decided he would keep his resolution and would not break that easily. He was aware of what Shane wanted from him, but he would not let her have her way on him. ''No way!'' he firmly mused. He still followed Shane and quickly grabbed her wrist. "We will not talk inside your room!" he exclaimed because whenever he was inside Shane''s room, he felt like he was walking on a thread! Shane paused and pouted her lips. Josh did not know whether to cry or laugh whenever Shane would do that. Lately, she was acting so weird that did not suit her original character at all. Not that he was not aware why Shane was doing all that. Still, he somehow could not dismiss her outrightly. "You know¡­ I won''t act like this if you had already introduced someone to me by now. You don''t even let me go out to bars or dance clubs to mingle with other men and at least find a partner for one night." Shane burst out because it was true. Josh was too strict saying she could not meet a trustworthy man in places like those but he was not introducing her to any man he knew either. "I told you I''m running out of time. Besides, I want to help Xander Yang. I need to go back to our clan to do so¡­ When will your brother in the military meet me? Make sure you remind him to bring his hot single men along with him, okay?" Shane intentionally brought it up. She would help the military in this country to bring down the Yue clan''s evil members. She had nothing to lose anymore, so she was strong with her decision to help anyone who wanted to destroy the Yue clan! That way her family could get freed from those evil monsters'' clutches. She was fortunate enough that Josh''s brother in the military was the one handling the case involving the Yue clan. She was offered a good bargain for helping them out and becoming a spy. In the past few days that Josh stayed with Shane, he came to know her more. Shane was a good person, though she could be tactless most of the time. She was not pretentious at all. Shane exhaled a long sigh and gave Josh a long stare. "I like you," she subconsciously whispered because she really did. "Huh? Oh please Shane stop it already. Do you really want to kill me with this kind of dilemma? Have I not been good to you to torture me like this?" Josh complained with his crumpled face. Shane bit her lower lip while she suppressed herself from crying. She would not cry. Why would she cry? She did not love Josh in the beginning. But she had to admit that as days passed by, she could not help but eventually start liking the man. "Can''t I at least like you? You have been too good to me, taking so good care of me and even trying to stop me from taking any wrong step in desperation, probably that''s the reason why I have started liking you. Don''t you really like me a bit? Or at least find me a little attractive?" Shane straightforwardly asked with her eyes drilling directly into Josh''s heart. Josh gulped, and his lips pursed. He was caught off guard with that question of hers and he could not find his tongue to answer her question. "I¡­ Shane¡­" he stuttered, trying to find the right words. He felt Shane''s hand removing his grip on her wrist and pulled her hand away from him. "That''s okay, Josh. You don''t need to answer. I know you like someone sweet, lovely and girlish woman like Cali. Don''t worry, I will never bug you again. Sorry for troubling you this much." Josh heard Shane wryly say before turning her back on him and walk towards the hallway back to her room. He was left frozen in his spot, stupefied. "What just happened?" he whispered, trying to process everything that happened in his head. He felt sad seeing Shane with dropped shoulders, and surprisingly he felt his hands suddenly empty when Shane took away her hand from his. He wanted to follow her, to comfort her, but his brain was stopping him from doing so. Shane''s particular question, ''Don''t you really like me a bit?'' Kept on popping inside his head for a long time. ''Why can''t you answer that question, Josh?'' His inner self hissed. The question was too easy, but Josh felt confused. His trail of thoughts were interrupted when the senior manager approached him and said, "Sir, the new assistant manager is now waiting at your office." Josh nodded and said, "Alright, I''ll be there in a minute¡­" He once again looked at Shane''s direction, but she was long gone. Josh released a frustrated sigh before walking back to his office. Shane, on the other hand, threw herself with her face on the bed as soon as she was inside the room. She felt so down. She had never felt so depressed in her entire life till date. She wanted to cry, but she suppressed it, scolding herself for being weak. Should she just give up already? Maybe she had no choice but to accept her dreadful fate of marrying Mr. Long. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

''She is going to sleep at my place tonight...'' kept on repeating inside her head while she stared at Rui with her star struck, rounded eyes. Rui had a scrunched face and met Cali''s eyes before ending the call. Rui then turned her phone off. "Do you mind? I just don''t want to be bothered by anyone while we''re on a date." Cali heard Rui speak. She only nodded, wondering why Rui looked irritated. She silently cursed Kane for ruining the pleasant mood between her and Rui. ''Why did he have to call at such a crucial moment?'' she silently complained when Rui went back to chopping the potatoes. "That Kane¡­ Are you two very close?" Cali suddenly heard Rui ask while she peeled some potatoes. "Hmm? Oh yeah, why? Oh, wait¡­" Cali answered, stuttering because her mind was still busy with Rui''s words about her sleeping in his place? Is he serious? How about her grandfather and nanny Shine? Will they allow that? She almost forgot that they had already allowed her to sleep in Rui''s place when she was drunk, so maybe that was why Rui was confident about that. She looked at Rui and saw him keenly staring at her. "Oh sorry¡­ Yes, me and Kane are close. He''s like a brother to me. We love to bully each other. I''m sorry, actually I''m still in awe about what you said to him. I mean, did you really mean that? Me, sleeping here tonight? My grandfather might not agree." Cali muttered. "He did agree last time¡­" Rui answered and started with his cooking. "Well, that''s different. I was drunk, and they trusted you that you would not take advantage of a drunk girl. But now it''s different." Cali mumbled, still in deep thought. "What''s the difference? You''ll get drunk again later," Rui nonchalantly murmured. "Huh? What?" Cali burst, but Rui only grinned and said, "Please pass the potatoes. You have peeled them enough..." "Oh sorry," Cali apologised upon noticing she did not stop gyrating the potatoes even if there was no more skin to peel. She suddenly felt nervous. ''Is Rui really serious? Sleeping together? Him and her?'' Cali mused, she was almost dying with butterflies going crazy inside her stomach. "So that Kane is only a brother to you? I mean his looks don''t appeal to you?" Rui casually asked next, trying not to sound too curious. "Who? Kane? He''s just a kid!" Cali burst with a laugh. "What if that kid likes you?" Rui asked next. Cali shivered and cringed then explained, "Stop that! What are you saying? I like Kane, but just as a brother, and he too feels the same about me, so we''re comfortable with each other. Shane and her brothers are like my siblings too, just that Kane is my favorite and I enjoy his company more. We click, you know. It''s like he''s my female version so we really get along so well." "Why?" he asked, forcing a smile on his irritated face. "You look awkward in that smile." Cali commented with a grin and she was satisfied seeing Rui blushed without him knowing. The kitchen started to fill with the aroma of the food that Rui was cooking. Whatever he was cooking smelled nice and yummy. She saw Rui scooping the sauce on a spoon and raised that towards her and said, "Here taste it¡­" Cali''s eyes twinkled because of the creamy sauce. Rui then asked her to wait in the dining and he would serve the food shortly, so she did. She felt so special being pampered by Rui like that while they ate a hearty dinner together. She felt so full. Rui then told her to wait in the living area, so she did while she watched some news. Sooner Rui returned with some pear and walnut salad. He brought a bottle of wine too. Rui sat beside her and picked some walnuts on the plate with his fingers. "Try this¡­" he cheerfully said. ''Oh, he''s feeding me walnuts with his fingers?'' Cali thought, so she grabbed Rui''s wrist and swallowed those walnuts in her mouth. It was a naive gesture on Cali''s part because she fed Rui popcorns too a while ago. Her tongue had a quick lick on Rui''s fingers because of the olive oil with a lemon juice sauce. "Hmm, it''s good," Cali said smiling wetting her lips with her tongue. Rui gulped because what Cali did sent fire burning in all his veins. He stared at Cali, who was licking her lips because of the sauce. "Let me also taste it then¡­" he muttered softly and as if something came to him that he suddenly pulled Cali towards himself for a deep kiss, tasting if the walnuts he prepared were really good. He kissed her lips softly at first and then couldn''t satisfy himself from just that and pried open her mouth with his tongue to kiss her passionately and deeply. Cali??s soft lips, entangled with his, were enough for Rui to get aroused and wish to do something more. He now even wanted to feel Cali''s voluptuous body once more. His right hand moved onto Cali''s back, unzipping her dress and pulling the straps from her shoulders down. He pulled his mouth back from the kiss and watched Cali''s reaction as his hand caressed her mounds that were still covered with her bra. Cali''s pupils were dilated like his and seeing her biting her lips was driving Rui crazy. He wanted to see if she disliked him advancing so much, but found her enjoying his actions to fullest. He then removed her bra and kissed her on her chest. Cali''s upper body unconsciously arched as she gulped and grabbed Rui''s hair. She was filled with a complete foreign sensation that was engulfing her slowly in itself "Tell me to stop if you want me to, and I will immediately stop. If you don''t ask me to stop Cali¡­ I''m afraid I''ll do more than kiss you in here¡­" Rui whispered with his chin on Cali''s chest while his hand went down to caress Cali''s legs. He was moving Cali''s skirt up with his hand. Cali moaned¡­ Her eyes were closed as Rui then started to suck on her pink areolas, one by one, again and again. Her nipples were hard and erect, a vivid evidence of her arousal. He played with her full breasts, using his hand and mouth one by one on each of them. Rui was so lost in the passion that he didn''t want to stop yet and decided to go one more step further. He slipped his hand inside down under her dress and reached to Cali''s panty. Cali bit her lips hard trying to control herself in making a sound but she failed as sweet moans unconsciously escaped her mouth when she felt Rui''s fingers tracing her line. Cali was having her first ever experience of anyone touching her down there and her sensitive nerves were making her shiver with pleasure, not to mention his tongue doing circles on her nipple, then would lick and suck them simultaneously. It was all so good that she even held her breaths every once in a while. She could not explain the feeling, but she definitely felt very very good. His kiss and touches was making her ask for more. Rui slipped his fingers inside her panty and felt her curves in there, rubbing his finger and feeling her arousal with the way she was wet there. In a very sensuous and husky voice he then said to her, "You''re wet¡­" "What?" Cali asked him, a little confused. Rui rubbed his finger a little more in her curves inside her panty and thought to tease her a bit, hence repeated, "I said, you are wet, down there¡­ so this means that¡­" "That¡­?" Cali started to get nervous by his words "Don''t you know what it means to be wet down there?" Rui asked again in his husky voice. When she heard his words Cali instantly froze for a second and opened her eyes in horror. She pushed Rui a little and looked at him with a timid face, realising that she really was too wet down there and she had never felt like this before. "Me wet? Does this mean I have some illness?

A wide smile floated on his lips and he suppressed his urge to laugh out loud, but he could not control it for very long and ended up in a fit of laughter. Cali realised with his expression that she had given him a chance to make fun of her, but she was actually clueless about why she was wet down there. Watching him laugh at her, she gave him a ''I will cry look''. Seeing that, he quickly stopped his laughter and gave Cali a tight hug while gently stroking her back and hair. "Rui, please can you tell me why... I.. I.. I mean¡­ Why am I wet¡­" Cali still gathered courage to ask him the question. Rui released her a little from his embrace and looked at her gently, with love-filled eyes. This innocent, naive girl had never even had a proper boyfriend before in her life and was completely unknown to the evils of the world. "No kitten, you have no disease or problem of any kind with your body, okay¡­ That''s normal for a woman to release some liquids when she is aroused sexually. Your body releases quite a lot of liquids when¡­" Rui stopped in between his explanation. He could not believe he was lecturing about a woman''s arousal and orgasm to his fiance. He did not even go to that point. He suddenly chuckled while he imagined Cali''s face once she had her first orgasm. She would surely have many more fleeting thoughts about it then? "What''s funny?!" He heard Cali complain and gently hit his back. Rui pulled her out from his arms and muttered, "Because you''re like a cute kitten, innocent and pure." "I''m not a cat. Don''t call me a kitten¡­" Cali mumbled in pouted lips. "Aright, can I then call you sweetheart? You look like a sweetheart." Rui responded, assuming Cali agreed with her timid smile. "I think it won''t be a good idea that you sleep here." Rui added because he was afraid he would not be able to suppress himself in being intimate with Cali. But then Kane''s face, popping in his head, was getting on his nerves. Cali pursed her lips and did not comment, simply because she did not want to look too excited about hugging him to sleep, whereas she desperately wanted to sleep with Rui. Her face was still red because she was too embarrassed on how she had reacted. She should probably need to read or watch more mature scenes for her reference, so next time she would not look so stupid while being intimate like this. She looked at Rui, who she caught staring at her bosoms. "Are mine small?" Cali unconsciously asked while she put her bra back and turned around to Rui and added, "Zip it back¡­" "Hmm, do you want me to measure if it''s small or big?" Rui jested. Rui''s face scrunched¡­ Cali was innocently asking for trouble. Didn''t she know how hard it was for him to build up that self control? He loved how innocent she was and naively candid. "I''m just kidding so zip back my dress¡­" Cali muttered with a grin and turned her back towards Rui. She grabbed her phone and asked, "Can I now turn back my phone on?" Rui nodded while he opened the wine and poured some for Cali. "What have you been doing lately?" Cali heard Rui asked. Cali heaved a long sigh and said, "I recently bought a land and Shane was about to help me with that business. It''s near Rizie''s family villa, but it''s not safe to visit there right now since they might trail me to find Shane." "I just stayed at home and probably toured Kane around and you know pretend that I''m helping him to look for Shane so he won''t get suspicious about me." Cali said while she accepted the glass Rui offered. "Can you just let Kane stay at the hotel instead?" Cali heard Rui asked with an irritated tone so Cali stared at him. "Are you jealous?" she bluntly asked because she noticed Rui often opened up a topic about Kane and asked unnecessary questions. Rui''s face crumpled as he defended, "Me? Why would I? No, I''m not." Cali moved her face closer to stretch Rui''s face and said, "Why is your face like that? Besides, what''s wrong with Kane staying in our home. Did you know that I stayed in their house for years and I even took a nap with Kane beside me or we slept together too with the rest?" "What?" Rui yelped and Cali''s brows raised as she nodded. ''I can sleep here too if you want?'' Cali wanted to add but zipped her lips instead. "Sleep here then." Rui mumbled and gulped the wine in the glass in one go. Cali with a smirk also did the same to her wine. The two of them discussed a lot of things like their likes and dislikes. Cali felt that they got to know each other more by having those kinds of conversations. After a few glasses of wine, Cali could feel the alcohol in her body already. Seeing how red Cali was already, Rui said, "Let''s stop drinking now¡­ Come with me and clean up before you go to bed." Cali excitedly followed Rui in his room upstairs. It would be her second time staying in his room and her nerves were all active. "I don''t have clothes to change into." Cali murmured. Rui grabbed one of his shirts and boxers. "Here, you can use mine," he said with a wink. "I''ll just go downstairs to have a quick cleanup and call your grandfather as well. You can sleep already if you''re sleepy." Rui said before going out of the room. Cali took a quick shower and cleaned up herself. She removed all her clothes and only put Rui''s boxers and shirt, then jumped comfortably on Rui''s bed. She looked at her mobile phone and saw many text messages from Kane. [Hey, what kind of woman sleeps in a guy''s house alone, unwed?] [You¡­ come back home! Don''t you know that when a guy finally has all of you he will easily get tired of you?] [Cali, you must play hard to get. If you let Rui have you easily, then you will look cheap in his eyes. He will not give you importance knowing you''re head over heels on him.] Cali''s nostril flared, reading more incoming messages from Kane. She angrily typed a reply. [Back off and go have your own love life!] "How dare this brat lecture me like that?" Cali mumbled and turned off her mobile phone, not bothering to read more of Kane''s sermons. Rui was already her fiance so what was with playing hard to get besides they weren''t doing anything yet. Cali dozed off to sleep with those thoughts in her head. Cali was already sleeping when Rui entered. He smiled and pulled the comforter to give Cali enough cover on her blanket and placed a gentle, sweet kiss on her lips. "Goodnight sweetheart¡­" he whispered before grabbing his pillow and walked towards his big couch to sleep. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

You''ve been warned!!! Do not read if you''re not comfortable!] Cali woke up first and she creased her forehead when she saw the bed was empty on the other side. ''What the heck? Did he sleep on the couch again?'' Cali sluggishly mused while she rubbed her eyes. Rui did the same thing the last night she slept in his room in a drunken state after the engagement. She got up from the bed and saw it was still very early, around four in the morning. She walked on Rui''s big couch and pouted her lips. He was lying there, sleeping soundly. "Why did he make me sleep at his place when he won''t even hug me on the bed. Geez¡­" Cali mumbled with a wrinkled nose. She sat on the couch near him and leaned forward to give Rui a closer look without his eyeglass on. Too bad his eyes were closed. She chuckled because she still had plenty of days to see him without an eyeglass. She couldn''t stop herself from touching his face with her fingers. Her fingers landed on his forehead, slipped from his forehead to his perfectly shaped thick eyebrows¡­ She loved those thick eyebrows of his, arching over his mysterious eyes enclosed in glasses all the day through. Her fingers trailed next on his pointed nose bridge and finally stopped on his thin beautiful lips. Cali''s face reddened because her mind was filled with numerous wild thoughts seeing Rui sleeping so sweetly. She wanted to give Rui a kiss that instant, to feel those full lips of his on her lips. "I think it''s okay since we''re engaged already¡­" she whispered, answering her silent question if it was okay or not to kiss him while he was sleeping. The couch was big and both of them could actually fit onto it. Cali bit her lip and was won by the temptation of sleeping snuggled in his arms and she sneakily laid beside Rui with her face facing his. "So handsome," she whispered and giggled before leaning closer to give Rui''s lips a stolen kiss. She only hoped Rui would not wake up while she''s stealing a kiss from him. She was not at all satisfied by just brushing her lips on his, so she opened up her lips to suck Rui''s lips and wet it with her tongue. Cali froze when she saw Rui opened his eyes and directly looked at her. She paled¡­ Her mouth was still sucking Rui''s lower lips. ''I''m dead¡­ So humiliating! Shall I pretend to be sleepwalking? Dreaming? Should I close my eyes?'' she inwardly thought, totally embarrassed at being caught red-handed, secretly kissing him like that. She was about to release Rui''s lips and pretend like she didn''t do anything, when she felt Rui''s arm hugging her back tightly in his embrace. He pulled her closer and then she felt his lips sucking her lips back too, not only his lips but his tongue was also sliding inside her mouth. "Why do you always invite trouble to your doorstep? Don''t you know how hard it is for me to sleep while you''re on my bed?" Rui''s voice was hoarse as he said the words. He couldn''t sleep most of the night because he was itching to crawl into the bed, but he controlled himself. And when he finally was able to control his nerves and slept, Cali crawled to him on the couch and gave him that kiss. That simple kiss with her body touching him so intimately, was enough to awaken every single cell in his body not to include the flair it created inside of his. There was no way he would let Cali off that easily now. Cali, on the other hand, could not understand the meaning of his words and she pouted her lips and thought, ''Why did he sleep on the couch when he could comfortably sleep on his bed?'' However, before she could voice out her tantrums, she felt Rui''s lips on her once more while his hand aggressively moved, going inside his shirt she was wearing. She moaned when she felt his hand cupped her one breast, caressing it while his fingers playfully flicked on her nipples. She could feel something hard poking in her groin, but she ignored it in the wake of pleasure she was feeling by his touches. She answered Rui''s tongue inside her mouth. They both probed deeper in each other with his tongue intertwining and fencing with hers. ''She tastes so sweet¡­'' Rui thought as fire consumed his body. He wanted to invade Cali wholly. Put his mark all over her body. He pulled out from the kiss and they were both panting. Rui pulled Cali''s shirt upward, totally removing it from her body and exposing her jade like beautiful body in front of his eyes. Cali was his, and so he planned to give her whole body with his marks and hickeys. Rui started his quest with Cali''s neck. Her skin was so soft and supple that it made Rui go crazy¡­ Licking every inch of her body with his tongue before sucking it, finding her softest spots, searching for her sensitive points. He gave as much time as he could in savouring her entire body. Cali moaned¡­ She even put her hand on her mouth to hide her humming when Rui playfully licked on one of her nipples then sucked it, nibbling it. What he was doing felt fantastic on each part of her body. Then he again played with his hand, sliding inside her shorts while he sucked and fed on her nipples simultaneously. ''Oh, my gosh!'' she screamed inside when Rui massaged her there in between her thigh, rubbing something that felt great. Cali had never felt so good and these feelings were so alien to her that she started feeling like she was floating in the air. She kept on moaning and calling his name now and then. Rui was too aroused hearing Cali''s moans when he started rubbing her clit. He wanted to give her more pleasure and wanted to speed up his actions to a higher level right then. "Sweetheart, I will do something down there so don''t panic on whatever I will do and just relax your body and feel the lovely sensations..." Rui whispered with his flaring pupils full of passion. Cali unconsciously nodded. Too occupied with the pleasure, not to mention how lovely the word sweetheart sounded in her ears in Rui''s voice. She shyly watched Rui remove her shorts and felt shy when Rui made her sit on the couch and kneeled before her. Rui gave her a roguish smile and moved up to kiss her lips first, taking away the tension in her body, then his lips went down again to her chest and Cali grabbed his hair while her body arched. His tongue licked down and kissed her belly button. She felt him spreading her legs and Cali bit her lips when she felt his tongue licking her line, trailing it. "Hmm¡­" All she could do was howl in pleasure while her head moved left and right. She felt her world spinning and she could see stars on the ceiling. She was more than on cloud nine. She wondered why Rui was nibbling at her private part because she felt him eating her there with his tongue and mouth? She couldn''t stop her body from shaking now and then. Something was building up inside of her that felt so good. Rui sucked on her clit, and then rubbed his one finger on her soft, delicate opening, but didn''t slip his finger inside to not cause any pain to her. He just brushed his finger there, and that was enough for her to scream in rapture. Rui then slipped his tongue inside her small opening and that sent shivers down her spine. An entirely new wave of desire struck her and she suddenly wanted more from him, more touching and more rubbing. Her hips also moved up while Rui''s tongue was going inside and outside her cavern. She could even hear the lapping sound coming from there and couldn''t help but blush involuntarily. She could no longer take it¡­ and felt like she was a ticking bomb that would explode anytime with a loud bang. Rui could feel Cali''s muscles contracting inside. He knew Cali would soon have her first orgasm, so he inserted his tongue deeper in and out of her tight opening, rubbing the upper walls of her vagina, while his thumb played and rubbed Cali''s clit in a circular motion. Her jaw tightened, and so did her grip on Rui''s hair. "Rui!" Cali screamed in ecstasy as her body jolted and tightened, arching upwards unknowingly. Her body was trembling tremendously on the couch and her hips were shaking too while she felt hot liquids flowing out from here. Rui''s head was still buried in between her thighs. "Oh¡­" she moaned, still shaking with the orgasm she had and suddenly then she felt Rui licked her again. "Are you eating it?" She asked in a shaking voice with rounded eyes when she saw him lapping and licking the liquids from her vagina! "Isn''t that gross?" she asked next in horror. Rui lifted his head and met her gaze. He smiled while licking his lips and muttered, "You are very sweet... taste yummy¡­" Cali''s jaw dropped¡­ "..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

He just could not sleep. Her mesmerising scent was so overwhelming that his nerves were not able to calm down beside her. He stared at her peacefully sleeping face for a while and kissed her forehead and lips. She nudged against him and came a little more closer in his arms. Rui felt so happy seeing this beautiful morning scene that he wished to have her in his arms every morning like this. But it was too early as of now for that. He sighed on his own devilish thoughts and took her in his embrace once again and lied down with her again. Blissful¡­ that was all that he felt at that moment Rui got up after another hour and a half and because he knew he won''t be able to sleep, so he freshened up and went into the kitchen and cooked a hearty meal for breakfast instead. He couldn''t believe how he managed to do a quick hand job on himself at the bathroom after Cali cleaned up and let her go on the bed first. He was grinning hard with Cali''s innocence while he cooked. "She''s too cute¡­" he murmured, recalling how Cali was reacting naively at everything that he was doing. "I think I just corrupted her innocent mind¡­" he suddenly realized as a little bit of guilt clouded his face. ''Cali''s already an adult and at her right age!'' A voice inside him reiterated. But it was really hard for him to control himself¡­ Rui cursed. He should practice more self restraint from now on¡­ Soon, Cali woke up and saw Rui was not with her again on the bed. She quickly got up from bed and checked the couch, but he was not there as well. The sun was already up, so she thought Rui was probably outside. Cali immediately had a quick shower and put her clothes that she wore last night back on. She could not help herself but blushed whenever she would recall what happened to her at that early in the morning. Her moaning and that intense feeling she just experienced. She looked at her own reflection in the mirror. She bit her lips, seeing the red purple marks on her neck and shoulders, so she grabbed Rui''s random coat and put it on herself to hide the marks while going back inside her home. Rui said that she had an orgasm a while ago and Cali had a nerve-wracking one, she must say. ''I really need to do a lot of research about it later.'' Cali mused as she sat on the couch instead of going out of the room. She felt shy in facing Rui at that moment. She nibbled her lips, imagining Rui teasing her and she would die of embarrassment if he really did. Cali inhaled and exhaled loudly for several times before she mustered enough courage for going out of the room. She saw Rui preparing breakfast in the dining area. He was thoughtful that she could not help but stared at him with misty eyes. "Good morning. You''re just in time. Have a seat and eat breakfast first before I drop you home." Rui saw her and greeted her with a bright smile on his face. He was already dressed up and was about to go up to wake up Cali, but then she was already there. "Morning¡­" Cali timidly responded with a flushing smile and quickly sat on the chair pulled by Rui. She could not look at Rui at all. She was intentionally avoiding having eye contact with him. "Do you clean your house by yourself?" She suddenly asked before Rui could tease her. She must make an out of topic conversation. Rui shook his head and put food on Cali''s plate while he said, "I have some helpers. They are staying at the back house. Hmm, next time I''ll tour you around in my house. But right now I have to drop you off early because I have an important early morning meeting in the office." "How come I don''t see any helpers?" Cali asked in knitted brows as she began to eat. Rui was a good cook, and she felt really lucky. "I told them not to roam around inside my house whenever I have a woman inside." Rui casually answered. Cali''s eyebrows raised at that answer. ''He''s even proud of mentioning the women he brought here?'' Cali thought, feeling jealous but hid it. Rui was already thirty, so it was a given that a lot of women came and went in his life. She shouldn''t feel jealous because that should be normal for a gorgeous man like him. She tried to pacify herself with such thoughts. ''But! It''s still irritating!'' Cali mused.. She wondered how many women he already had in his life but she was afraid to ask or find out about it so Cali sealed her mouth from asking it. Maybe later she would ask that, but not now. "By the way, I took one of your coats. I''ll just return it later¡­" Cali whispered, seeing how Rui was intently looking at her. Rui had a roguish smile when he said, "You can keep it." ''Though I prefer you won''t wear that so that Kane will see my marks on you.'' Rui wanted to add that but halted instead he stared at Cali whose cheeks turned rosy pink. "Stop staring and eat your food. Do you want me to get indigestion?" Cali muttered. Rui chuckled and said, "Alright sweetheart." Cali was burning red with his endearments to her and she wanted to squeal right there because of how happy she was for being called sweetheart by him. But she must have remained composed, so she continued eating instead but would smile on her own now and then. Rui dropped her home early. She was still grinning ear to ear as she went inside. "Tsk¡­ Tsk¡­ Tsk¡­" Cali was startled by that loud clicking of Kane''s tongue who was sitting on the couch of their living area early in the morning. "What are you doing here so early in the morning?" she asked. Kane raised his eyebrow and looked at her from head to toe with a dark expression. "Can''t you see I''m reading a book." Kane murmured with gritted teeth. Then he added, "Don''t talk to me. Just pretend you''re not seeing me since you''re treating me like that only. I''ll just go back to the hotel, perhaps." Cali laughed loudly and sat beside Kane hugging his arm with hers and said, "Don''t worry since I''m in a good mood today¡­ I will give you a tour around the city and let''s try looking for Shane too? How about that? Stop that now, with such a sulky face you look like an angry bird!" Kane clenched his jaw because he was really angry seeing some red marks on Cali but he was aware that he had no right to get angry in the first place. He was planning to confess how he was feeling, but he needed to do so at the right timing. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

"Good morning guys," she nonchalantly greeted and asked Chad''s butler for a coffee. "What''s with the sunglasses when there''s no sun here?" Xander commented. Chad laughed and said, "Maybe she''s hiding her bulgy eyes due to hours of crying. Women tend to do that. I''m just not sure what caused her crying." "Oh, Lana. Is it because of your sudden coming here? Did you happen to leave someone special behind?" Xander burst, but he was aware Lana was a man hater, so he gave Chad a meaningful glance. Chad just shrugged his shoulders. "Me cry? No way! Why would I. I got sore eyes because of eye flu¡­ Unless you want to stare into my red infected eyes, I will not remove this," Lana grunted and was about to remove her eyeglass? "No! Keep that. It''s contagious and do not touch your eyes then touch things afterwards," Xander scolded, the high degree of germaphobia in him was triggered instantly. Lana chuckled and defended, "I know Doc!" Chad had a lopsided grin and shook his head. Lana''s pride was still as high as Mount Everest. "Doc, sore eyes from love sickness is not contagious, but I have heard it can be deadly." Chad could not help but tease. Lana turned her head to Chad and said, "Shut up Chad or I will cut you into pieces without even letting you taste your winning victory after the election. By the way, I heard something interesting about you¡­" "Okay! Let''s change the topic!" Chad exclaimed, raising his hands as a sign of giving up. Xander watched the two of them banter with each other while he continued eating. It was like the good old days when Chad was still Keira''s bodyguard but turned out he was a big man from another country and was just in disguise and in hiding. Lana looked at Xander and said, "Let''s start as soon as we''re done with breakfast. Keira said your life depends on it so I will make sure that you win this trial." "Thanks," Xander murmured with a sigh. Yes, his life would depend on the outcome of the trial, but still he also had a Plan B in case the unexpected happened. But he hoped they would not have to come to use Plan B. One of Chad''s men rushed in the dining area and whispered something to Chad. Both Lana and Xander creased their foreheads, seeing the serious look on Chad. "No¡­ Let them be but observe them closely. We will feed them with wrong data. I will analyze things later¡­" Chad instructed before dismissing the man. "Turns out Yue clan implanted spies inside Quan Territory," Chad nonchalantly commented. "How do you know if they are spies or not?" Lana curiously asked. "Wait what? Even our rooms? Are you saying it also has hidden cameras?" Lana burst in horror. Xander too looked at Chad in rounded eyes, waiting for his answer. Chad laughed and said. "The room is bugged but don''t worry about hidden cameras. It''s to make sure also that you two are safe. You see, spies are everywhere. Not all Quan clan members are loyal, you know. It''s human nature to betray for larger benefits..." "Wow¡­ Such a perfectionist." Lana mumbled. She couldn''t wait to witness the changes Chad would implement once he won for presidency of this country. .... At Lua residence Cali was fixing her outfit to get ready and tour Kane around as she promised when nanny Shine entered her room. "Your hair is growing fast now and you''re looking more pretty lately," nanny Shine commented and she sat on Cali''s couch. Cali walked towards her when nanny Shine signaled her to sit beside her. She held Cali''s both hands and gently squeezed them. "Your grandfather talked to me. He was worried if he did the right thing for you this time. To be honest, he''s still not comfortable about you sleeping at Rui''s place. But then he said he will trust you and your decisions whatever it is that you want. He had really changed a lot. Everything he was doing before your accident also was for you only, but then after that accident, he realized what''s the sense of everything that he has if he will lose you just like that. He only wants you to enjoy life and be happy now and always." Nanny Shine explained. Then she sighed and continued, "I think dear you should talk to him once and assure him yourself what it is you truly feel right now¡­ Give him an assurance that you know what you''re doing." Cali gave nanny Shine her widest smile and said, "I''m really so happy right now nanny Shine. I''ve never felt something like this before. This happiness is brought in my life by Rui only. To be honest, I want to stay with Rui always, but then I don''t want to look too clingy to him. I''m also grateful to have you and grandpa also who is always supporting me like this. And I assure you that I know what I''m doing and I will be responsible for all of my actions." Cali then tightly hugged nanny Shine and added, "Don''t worry nanny Shine, I will talk to grandpa as soon as he arrives for dinner." Nanny Shine gently pushed Cali and closely looked into her eyes and asked, "What about that Kane?" Cali''s eyebrows snapped together and echoed, "What about Kane nanny Shine?" Nanny Shine pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes at Cali. "What is it?" Cali asked again. "Hmm, nothing, never mind. I already forgot. Later I will ask once I remember." She lied upon confirming that Cali was unaware of what she noticed about Kane''s feelings for Cali. It would be best that Cali would know about it through Kane only. She shook her head as pity struck her for the poor boy Kane. Her Cali had very low EQ in things like these. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

She went out from her room with her orange and black sporty two piece swimwear underneath a black kimono style robe. There were other guests in the pool too. Shane occupied a vacant chair and put her things there. She removed the cardigan, and it exposed her perfect curves. She did some stretching before jumping into the pool and swam. She swam several laps with freestyle and then backstroke. Meanwhile, as usual, Josh was taking his round around the hotel to scan the hotel late in the afternoon. He saw the newly hired assistant manager grinning alone with a roguish smile on his face while looking at the glass wall. He walked towards him and cheerfully commented, "Hey, is there an interesting sight there for you to have that ear to ear smile on your face?" The assistant manager greeted him and went back to gaze at the glass wall and replied, "Nothing sir, just a gorgeous guest enjoying our pool. I wonder if she''s still single." Josh''s brows drew together thinking who could it be that piqued the interest of his handsome assistant manager, so he followed his gaze. The first person he noticed was Shane walking in her two piece swimwear at the side of the pool while squeezing water out of her hair. His eyes were struck on her for a few seconds, admiring her beautiful figure and gorgeous curves. She looked like a walking volcano at that moment to him. He gulped on his own thoughts and took a deep breath to not think like that again. There were other young female guests too, so his assistant was probably talking about somebody else. "I think I fell in love at first sight, boss. I really hope she''s still single," Josh heard Don uttered. "Who are you talking about? There are a lot of women there." Josh murmured. "Yes, but there''s only one woman standing out in my sight, boss. In my eyes, she''s the only woman outstanding above else¡­" Josh heard Don respond. He chuckled at how flowery and mesmerized Don looked at that moment. "Who?" he asked, curious. "The one in the orange and black boss. I will ask her out if she''s single." Don continued and Josh''s ears almost exploded. He heard the word ''single'' several times from Don that he subconsciously drawled, "She''s not single! She''s mine, so she is off limits for you!" Don, mouth agape, turned his head towards him and muttered, "Seriously boss?" Josh frowned at Don and gruffly replied, "Do I look like I''m joking with you right now Don? Go back to work now! It''s still office hours and here you are peeking at girls swimming in our pool!" Don apologised to Josh several times, and he looked too embarrassed. Josh only dismissed him. Don could be a nice guy. He was handsome too and Shane might like him as well. Don was presentable enough and with a good background, so why did he do that? Saying things like those to Don and the worst part was he lied saying Shane was not single and was his woman? Since when? He just hindered a possible opportunity for Shane. If Shane found out about it he would be in big, big trouble. Shane''s eyes turned into his direction, and Josh panicked. He quickly shifted his look somewhere else and acted as if he was inspecting something on the floor. When he thought he had enough time to ignore her, he tilted his head back on the glass and was startled to see Shane in front of him on the other side of the glass, smiling widely and waving her hands like she always used to do. ''She''s no longer angry?'' Josh thought because last time he talked to her, Shane no longer bothered him after that. Shane pointed in a particular direction and saw it was the long chair she was probably occupying. Shane signaled him to follow her there, so Josh did. He went outside the glass door and followed Shane not far from behind. And he unintentionally had a proper and a full view of her back. He gulped and felt his body react particularly to his heart and his lower part. Josh silently grunted and cursed himself. He panicked seeing Shane fell on the ground. He was not too close to catch her. He rushed to her and helped Shane stand up. "I slipped¡­" Shane explained while she grabbed Josh''s hand but something from her leg hurt that it was hard to stand up on her own.. "Ouch" she winced in pain. Josh, without a second thought, carried her hastily in his arms and strode with his long legs towards Shane''s room. "Why are you so careless?" Josh scolded, frowning while he opened the door. He gently put her down on the bed and inspected Shane''s legs. "What is hurting?" Josh asked and Shane pointed on her back hips. Josh touched it but suddenly he realized it was a wrong move seeing Shane bit her lips, probably in pain. However, that reaction brought an uncommon sensation on his body not to add that his palm was on her hips. Josh inwardly cursed himself several times. "I''ll call for a doctor to check if there is something wrong." Josh muttered. Shane shook her head and said, "No need¡­ It''s just the muscle and the impact of the fall. No broken bones, really." "How did you know?" Josh asked in knitted brows. "I know because I have learnt it¡­ Vital parts of the body and how to assess if your body is damaged or not. I was supposed to be a part of that elite assassin team if not for my heart operation..." Shane explained. There was no point in hiding things from Josh anyway since she would soon join his brother''s team against the Yue clan. "But it will be hard for me to move for days I guess so I will need help now and then¡­" Shane murmured with shrugged shoulders. She seemed to be unlucky this past few days, and she hated it. "I''m in a total mess," Shane unconsciously added with a depressed tone. She felt Josh''s hands patting her head with a warm smile on his face. "Don''t say that¡­ Trials are given to us to make us strong so we must not give up no matter what happens. Until there is life, there''s always hope and ways to everything so don''t get discouraged." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

He heaved a long sigh, seeing the undeniable bloom and brightness in Cali''s aura. It was the hardest feeling in his life of being defeated without even putting up a fight. He could not help but curse himself for being that slow. Cali stayed with them for years and yet he could not muster enough courage to even tell her how he felt for her. "Cali¡­ Let''s go on a date." he unconsciously whispered as he approached her. Cali turned to him and sized him up before saying with squinted eyes, "Are you crazy?" Kane scratched his head and gave her an awkward smile. At the back of his mind he wanted to reply, ''Yeah¡­ I''m crazy¡­ Crazy for you!'' But again, it was all inside his mind, like how it usually happened whenever he was with Cali. He put his arms on Cali''s shoulders instead, putting a lot of his weight on her and said, "Let''s go. You have already picked a lot for me. There''s a place I want to go to¡­" "Get off me, you brat! You''re too heavy!" Cali yelled and abruptly took his arms off her. Kane laughed out hard and hugged Cali''s arms instead to pull her out of the boutique. They both went to the arcade and started playing some video games there and while the two were playing arcade inside the mall, Cali''s mobile phone rang. She answered it through the bluetooth on her ear because she was playing with Kane and the loser would receive a punishment from the winner. "Hello," Cali answered without knowing who was the caller. "Geez Cali, stop answering calls if you don''t want me to kill you. If I win this, you have to do whatever I want for a day!" Kane yelled as both of them were engrossed in the game. "Shut up Kane and play!" Cali unconsciously scolded. Then realized a caller was waiting, but how come no one was talking as she said, "Sorry about that. Who''s this?" Rui''s jaw tightened hearing Kane and Cali bantering at the other line, but what hit him was the words from Kane, ''you have to do whatever I want for a day''. "Don''t lose that game. I will not disturb you so make sure you win that game. Call me back as soon as you''re done, but make sure to win that game!" Rui firmly said before ending the call. "Hello? Hello¡­" Cali asked, but what she heard was just the beep of the end call. "What was that?" Cali mumbled. "What? Who is that?" Kane asked in curiosity. They were still playing. "It???s my Rui. He said I have to win this game! So get ready to get slammed by me, Kane!" Cali yelled and focussed herself on winning against Kane, though still confused with Rui''s words. ''I started liking Cali first and knew her much before you even met her and arrived in her life so you can''t erase me that easily from Cali''s life¡­'' Kane inwardly grunted. He must win the game¡­ But his thoughts were too distracted... Kane was scratching his head because he ended up losing from Cali and was now following her orders at that moment. He was ordered to bring fruit shakes for the two of them. He bought and walked back to Cali who just ended a call sitting on a bench. He could tell from Cali''s smile alone that it was probably that doctor on the call with her. The saying love was blind applied to him in a way that he was blinded by his love for Cali, and he was in denial that Cali loved someone else. He was somehow convincing himself that it was still nothing but an infatuation for that doctor from Cali''s side and all between them was still not love. "Let''s go to the movie trailer next?" Kane suggested as he handed the fruit shakes to Cali. "Aren''t you here to look for Shane?" Cali mumbled. Kane was expressionless. He did not want to find his sister at all. It was better Shane remained hidden wherever she was. Mr. Long scolded him but he played a reverse psychology on the man saying that he needed to gain Cali''s trust completely just in case she knew where Shane was hiding so going out like this with her like they usually did in country V was a must. "Let''s go home now. I have to visit Rui in his clinic." Cali said as she stood up from the bench ready to go. Rui wanted to pick her up as soon as he got free, but she insisted to drop by his office instead to be able to see aunt Jean also. Kane''s face darkened, but he was good in hiding, so he gave Cali a quick smile and a nod. Cali dropped him back at Lua''s residence. Before Kane went out of the car, he looked at Cali and said, "Come back home, will you? Can you at least do that, I mean, while I''m here do not sleep at your boyfriend''s house¡­" "Huh?" Cali confusingly breathed. Kane only gave her a shrugged shoulder before getting out of the car and rushing inside the house. "What''s with that look?" Cali whispered. She suddenly got worried about why Kane seemed to act weird since she met him in their country. Kane went back out as soon as Cali''s car left. He should at least make an effort on looking out for Shane so Mr. Long would not get irritated because the old man had a temper and tended to lose control. He was afraid Cali would get endangered because of it. ''Shane just stay strong wherever you are. Make sure not to get caught.'' Kane hoped in the back of his head. He knew Shane hated them all because they could not do anything for her. Kane heaved a long sigh when a black car stopped in front of him as he walked on the road. The window opened, and it was Mr. Lua "Get in!" the old man jeered. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

He was afraid that Shane would again do something stupid by asking his employees to introduce her to someone in their families like what she did to one of his female employee who assisted her to change into her sleep wear a while ago. Josh felt uncomfortable whenever he heard or thought about Shane being with anyone he didn''t know or approve of. So he decided to sleep at Shane''s room on the couch that night to assist Shane further and keep a watch on her. "Let''s eat?" He said and pulled the mobile tray near the bed so he could help feed Shane. "I can manage to eat on my own. I have just the hip swollen, not my arms and hands you know." Shane said with a bright smile. Josh did not respond. Shane pouted her lips and stared at him. Josh did not reply to her and stared back at her only. Shane was a little intimidated by his attitude and silently agreed to his arrangements. She noticed he was quiet the entire time. "You need not sleep here and babysit me, Josh. You can go home¡­ I can call the reception in case I will need any help." Shane said, thinking Josh was sulky because he had to stay with her inside her room. "And what after that? You will again ask my employees to introduce you to their friends or family? Can you stop it already, Shane? Whenever you say that you look like a¡­" Josh hissed and hanged the words, unable to say the next words. "What? A woman desperate for s*x?" Shane pointed out on his behalf. "No ¡­ I mean that''s not what¡­" Josh stuttered. Shane exhaled loudly and grabbed the chopsticks in his hand. "That''s what you mean Josh so don''t bother to look for more soothing words. It''s true anyway. I''m a woman desperate to do it and get pregnant if possible. If I can''t get pregnant so soon, then marry and get devirginized. That''s the only solution for Mr. Long not to pursue me." Shane nonchalantly mumbled and started eating her meal. Then she spoke in a very solemn tone, "We don''t have to wait for your bro cause I''m sure he can''t help me either, except if he introduces me to one of his men I can marry and have s*x with. Or else I will just marry that old, brutal maniac, Mr. Long and go back as a spy and have that man killed so I can be free at least after a few months of torture, rather than getting killed myself with his tortures." Shane sarcastically added. "But I really can''t tolerate getting married and having sex with that old man who is almost my father''s age. That Mr. Long disgusts me like anything. So it''s better to find someone as soon as possible and have s*x with him and marry other g¡­" *Bam!! Shane jolted, startled with Josh suddenly hitting the mobile tray, even causing some food to spill¡­ "Huh?" Shane breathed in confusion. Josh''s face was dim, and she felt his gaze cut deep through her. "What do you then want me to do Josh? Seriously? Your reaction is so creepy right now. It''s scary¡­ Stop looking at me like that." Shane murmured and held her head low. "And you don''t want me to ask help from anyone, right? Then why can''t you just help me out?" Shane courageously voiced out. Josh could not understand his own actions either and was suddenly dazed by what Shane said. Then something in his heart made him understand a bit of his feelings right then. Josh looked at Shane and murmured, "Let''s do it then¡­" Shane raised her head and looked at Josh in disbelief. Did she hear him right? "You sure?" Shane asked, still in . Josh nodded. That instant Shane pounced on Josh, not bothering about the pain of her swollen hips. "Thank you¡­ thank you. Don''t worry as soon as everything is settled in our family I will divorce you immediately. I won''t cling to you at all." Shane quickly reassured him, afraid Josh might change his mind at the thought of his freedom. Josh clenched his jaw¡­ "I just now agreed to marry you and you''re talking about divorce already!" Josh exclaimed. Shane pulled back from the hug and gave Josh a quirked smile. She touched and stretched his face while saying, "You can no longer back out from your words." Josh looked at Shane with a conflicted expression, wondering if what he did was the right thing to do. He did not know what came to him, but the thought of Shane being with another man was desperately making him mad! Shane was very happy at that moment and she cupped Josh''s face for a kiss. It was only just a simple peck on his lips, then she gave him a sweet smile. Josh stared at her, frozen, but suddenly leaned in and claimed Shane''s lips for a deeper kiss. Shane felt her body laid on the bed because of Josh''s weight in leaning forward while kissing her intently. She got lost and unconsciously wrapped her arms on Josh''s neck. That was her first real kiss in her entire life and it was mind blowing, giving her mixed feelings. Josh''s tongue invaded her mouth, making her moan with unexplainable pleasure. Josh was aggressive in his kiss, like he wanted to punish her for spurting words he did not like awhile ago. His tongue was delving inside, urging hers to dance with it. And Shane answered Josh''s demand with the same passion. She hated to spoil the mood, but her discomfort from her fall was getting in her way, not to mention her stomach in protest. Shane inwardly cursed, not wanting to break the spell connecting her to Josh at the moment. *Grugggg Shane cursed when Josh paused and pulled from the kiss. She smiled and muttered, "Don''t mind it. Let''s continue." Josh chuckled and pinched her nose. "Silly¡­ Eat¡­ There''s no need to rush. Let''s eat now." Shane pouted her lips and bluntly said, "But I''m in a rush¡­ I want to do it with you, right now." She was aroused, and so was Josh by just a mere kissing, and that was a fact. "You''re not in good condition to do it right now, Shane. Besides, let''s register our marriage first." Josh whispered, then added, "In the meantime, let''s eat dinner." "Ouch!" Shane winced by the pain because she pinched herself. "What are you doing?" Josh asked in shock. Shane gave him a roguish smile and replied, "I''m just confirming that I''m not dreaming." Josh laughed and messed Shane''s hair. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

As usual, she changed into her jogging outfit and got ready to join the lovebirds. "Good morning!" Yera energetically greeted her in-laws, who both looked lovely as always. The sun was about to rise, and they started walking along the beach. The sound of the waves were too relaxing to her ears, including the fresh morning breeze that passed through Yera''s skin. She was behind them, walking briskly¡­ because¡­ She could feel certain changes in her body. She giggled at the thought of how her husband''s prediction could be true. But she still wanted to wait for another week before she should take the test. She faced the sea with clear waters and did some stretching. To lessen her boredom while she was here on the island, she had talked to Ryu and offered her help in his hospital on the island. She would check the facility and see what was still needed. She also wanted to supervise it as well while she was still on the island. She sat on the nearest beach chair and laughed, watching her in-laws from afar, playing again with the water like kids. She again took some photos and videos secretly and sent it to her husband. Her mobile phone rang, and she quickly answered the video call. "Darling, it''s still early. Let''s sleep a little more." Xander sheepishly murmured. He was still on his bed. "The sun would soon rise. Watch the beautiful scene with me¡­" They were like that for days. Both would see each other as early as they could, then see each other again through video chat before closing their eyes. Sometimes the mobile phone was left on with her whenever she dozed off without her knowing. "But I prefer to watch your face instead of the rising sun so focus the camera on yourself and don''t you shift it to the view. I already got the best view at this moment," Xander muttered, staring closely at his wife on the video screen. A flush crept on Yera''s face. Her husband''s fadeless flowery words never failed in making her heart jump out of her chest. Xander chuckled and added, "I like it whenever you blush like that." "How did you know I''m blushing?" Yera mumbled in pouted lips. "Unless you put on makeup but I doubt it. I see it on the video screen, darling. Maybe you''re blushing too much so it''s visible enough," Xander teased her again. Yera gave him a bashful smile. She then told Xander about her plan to help out in Ryu''s hospital. Xander was adamant in not letting her do it. He wanted her within the premises of Ken''s mansion only to be safe and not get into any trouble. But in the end, as expected from Xander, Yera convinced him. ...¡­ At Lim Villa Shane gulped and looked at Josh who ignored his family''s confused gazes. Josh exhaled loudly and said, "Stop that¡­ You will give Shane indigestion. I will repeat once again for you. She is going to be my wife starting today. We are going to get married after breakfast and she will move in here in the villa with you guys. Please look after her whenever I''m gone." Sheila gulped. They were very careful with the choice of words because Shane was with them. It shocked them seeing Josh arrive early morning for breakfast with a beautiful woman, saying he was going to marry her and make his wife then she will stay with them starting today in the mansion. Before they could even ask Josh what had happened, he pleaded first for them not to ask any question from him or Shane either and hoped for their understanding regarding the fact that he would marry today and bring the woman to be his wife could be enough. ''Is she pregnant?'' Grandma Terry asked Sheila without a sound. They were like talking using the ''read my lips''. Sheila answered with shrugged shoulders. Although she was already married she would come weekly to stay in the villa also every once in a while, especially when her husband was on a business trip, like this time. She couldn''t believe that she had missed a lot of important happenings in just a few days in her son''s life. Shane, as instructed by Josh, remained quiet and would only give the elders before her, timid and bashful smiles. She agreed that it would be best not to tell the details to Josh''s family since the entire set-up and the condition of their marriage was a mess. She did not want to meet Josh''s family because of this kind of scenario. But Josh was firm, saying she should meet his family and stay in their villa instead of the resort. Sheila heaved a long sigh and said, "Alright I will prepare everything for a quick civil wedding at home. I will cook so we can at least have a small celebration. Geez Josh! You could at least inform us ahead of time. I mean, give her a proper wedding ceremony, not in a rush like this." "No, ma''am it''s really okay. It''s my fault, not Josh''s. I really don''t need any wedding ceremony¡­ Just registering our marriage is more than enough." Shane answered with a smile. "Even though¡­ You talk to me after this is done! We must at least know what''s going on." Grandpa Shen directly scolded Josh. "It''s really my fault, sir. I¡­ I ran away from my house because my parents wanted me to marry someone else, but I like Josh so¡­" Shane tried to explain further but Josh stopped her. "I will explain everything to them later. For now, let''s all have breakfast please? Then proceed with the marriage, civil marriage conducted at home." Josh pleaded. He did not know what came to him that he suddenly brought Shane in their home early in the morning when they could have waited until they did registration or they could keep it a secret from his family as Shane suggested. Maybe he was excited about bringing Shane to his family and meeting them? ''And why would that be?'' Josh was actually confused, but all his actions were actually what his heart was telling him to do and he simply followed... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Liz opened the door with a smile and let him enter. It was his first time going inside Liz''s room ever since they arrived on that island. Liz asked him to sit on the couch as she prepared the tea for him. James sat down with crossed legs. Liz couldn''t help but admire him because he looked really handsome and was very energetic even at that age. "I brought the book I told you about¡­ Here¡­" James said and put them on the table as his eyes swept around the room. Like his room, the room of Liz was also spacious and the floor to ceiling window opened towards the sea-view. Her bed was placed on the opposite wall of the window and it was clean. His gaze paused on Liz''s clean, crease-free bed as some naughty thoughts of sleeping together and messing the bed crossed his mind. He quickly turned his gaze to the other side, seeing Liz was approaching with the tea. His face turned crimson too, without his knowing because of the naughty thoughts that ran in his head. Liz sat beside him holding the cup of tea for James, but she noticed Jame''s reddening face so she unconsciously touched his forehead with her other hand. "Are you sick? Why is your face red?" she asked, still touching his forehead then his cheek then neck. "Your temperature is normal though¡­" Liz casually muttered. She was about to pull her hand from James''s cheek, but James held it in place with his hand over it. Liz, flustered and unconsciously parted her lips. James pulled her in for a kiss, but the cup of tea Liz held spilled on his shirt. "Oh my God, I am so sorry James!" Liz breathed and quickly put down the cup on the table and got up to get a towel to clean him, but James pulled her again causing Liz to fall in his lap. She blushed while she whispered, "Let me just get a towel first." "It''s okay really, I am fine¡­." James in his hoarse voice whispered while his face leaned closer to hers. His hand moved from Liz''s back up to her nape as he pulled her for the unfinished intended kiss. His hands felt like fire to her and she also put her hands on his shoulders for support and closed her eyes when James approached her. Liz tried her best to calm her body from trembling as she felt James'' lips land on hers. They had kissed before, but this kiss by James had a distinct vibe than all others. Liz started to turn crimson when she thought about what could happen next. She had been in a dilemma whether to ask James to sleep together throughout their stay, but she couldn''t find the courage to do so. At that moment, she felt all her wishes would be fulfilled. With her closed eyes she savoured the kiss that James showered her with and let the electrifying feeling of his soft and hard touches take over her body. She wrapped her arms completely onto Jame''s neck and answered his kisses with the same passion as James, but then she suddenly recalled the tea was hot so she pulled from the kiss. "Wait, the tea was a bit hot¡­" She murmured as she pulled Jame''s shirt to see if the skin got burnt somehow and she gulped, touching his well-toned muscles. "Wow, how come you have such strong well developed and toned muscles¡­" she praised, seeing there was no hint of burning so the tea probably had turned cold enough when it spilled on him. James chuckled. He was getting intimate with her, but Liz seemed to be focusing more on his abs. He wore a rash guard whenever they swam on the beach, so Liz was unable to see his muscular body and those sexy abs that he had, but she was sure James had a toned body. James exhaled and abruptly took off his shirt. He sat with his upper body naked in front of her and said with a tease, "There¡­ I will give you a proper view since everything that''s mine is yours already¡­" Liz reddened in embarrassment when it dawned to her what she just did. "Liz¡­ I think we can go ahead if you don''t mind it..." James paused in between and waited for an answer. Liz smiled in understanding of what he wanted to say so as an answer she kissed him. Liz yelped when she suddenly felt her body being lifted up. James carried her on the bed like a queen and gently put her down while their lips were still stuck together. They stayed staring at each other on the bed, sitting. Liz bit her lip when James started unbuttoning her blouse. She was so nervous because it was practically her first time. She was drunk when she did it with Yera''s father and she could not even remember how everything happened except that she woke up and her body was sore. She felt so shy, but excitement overclouded her shyness. "You''re beautiful," she heard James whisper near in her ears when he threw away her blouse on the floor and used his palms to cover the exposed glory of her body. James kissed every part of her body that got exposed out of her clothes and Liz felt an intense sensation she had never felt her whole life. She ended up biting her lip and moaning as James continued to work wonders on her body. She too helped him in undressing. Once his entire body stood gloriously in front of her, she could not help but admire his perfectly tall and sculpted body. She copied what he did to her and kissed each part of him saying, "this is mine" in every kiss. James chuckled at her inexperienced moves and soon caught her and laid her down on the bed as he placed himself on top of her. Kissing each other on the lips, neck and shoulders took so long as their hands touched every corner and parts of each other''s body, familiarizing each other with their bare skin and curves. Liz hummed because James did not only touch her private parts but also granted it with passionate and loving kisses that went deep into her and took her into a world of pleasure. It surfaced her desires that were buried deep in her heart somewhere. He was very gentle to her and made sure that she felt everything nicely. She shivered each time he made her cum. Finally, when James was not able to control himself, he penetrated her, slowly and then deeply making her hiss in pain for a while and then cried in pleasure when he finally thrust in deeply and moved inside her. They shared each other''s passion and their union was like a dream she never thought that could happen in her entire life. It was too beautiful dancing with James sometimes gentle sometimes hard rhythm swaying her with a lovely tune of bliss. Tears fell from in Liz''s eyes as she dug her hands deep in Jame''s back. She was in union with the man she loved. "I love you¡­" she whispered as they both reached the highest peak of making love. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Because they did everything in a rush, Sheila could only prepare meals that were easy to cook and faster to be made, but all the dishes she cooked were special recipes. "Oh my dear, we''re so sorry for this. I can''t believe this son of mine. But anyway, we will definitely give you a grand wedding soon after the wedding of his twin sister." Sheila promised Shane, feeling guilty for her now daughter-in-law by how poorly and hurriedly Josh managed the marriage. She chose to only answer everyone with her timid smile. Shane felt so warm with that consoling message. Josh was too lucky to have such a wonderful family. She was even startled when the rest of his family members arrived in the late afternoon to celebrate with them at dinner. She met Lyra and her husband and finally Josh''s big bro Zach with his wife. Zach immediately told her they should not talk about the mission when Shane opened it up to him as that was a family gathering. "We will have a schedule for that Shane but for now you must enjoy tonight as Josh''s wife and as a new member of our family. We are happy to welcome you with us." Zach said with his warm smile. Shane wanted to cry at that moment, and her eyes were filled with tears. She was not sure whether Rizie or Josh had already told Zach about her situation, about running from Mr. Long but looking at Zach''s eyes, she could feel his genuine warm words towards her. ''How nice could it be to have them as her real family forever?'' she inwardly thought as there were smiles for her wherever she looked. The warmth and acceptance given to her was just so overwhelming. They were outside in their garden enjoying a drink and barbecue with music and chattering. Rizie elbowed her and whispered, "I can feel my twin brother is falling for you. Did he happen to say it to you?" Shane was shocked. She shook her head and told Rizie what really happened. Rizie gave her a cunning grin and murmured, "Trust me. No one knows my twin better than I do. He''s in a confused state right now. Mostly in denial of his feelings towards you. But one thing is for sure¡­ He will never agree to something he had not given proper thought to. That definitely means that he likes you and he wants to take care of you, not because you are Cali''s friend but because of you yourself." Shane gave Rizie an expression of disbelief that made the latter chuckle. "Here¡­ A toast for you, my dear." Rizie said as she poured more wine in Shane''s glass. "She is right, just a little more push¡­ and he will admit it. All you need to do is to be a little more aggressive¡­" Keira interrupted. "You''re listening to us?" Rizie mumbled and Keira laughed. Shane shook her head, and the two continued on, exchanging in giving her some tips. Shane would laugh now and then. Soon Lyra joined in the conversation. Josh on the other hand would sneak glances at Shane every once in a while, while he was having a drink with his brother, brother-in-law and grandpa Shen. "You like her." He heard his brother-in-law comment when grandpa Shen left to help grandma Terry and their mother in grilling more meat. "That''s what I thought too." Zach seconded. Both of them were aware of what situation Josh and Shane were in. "Well, I told you I can bring our comrades soon. They are all hot, respectable and single too, even looking for blind dates¡­ But it seems you''re in a hurry to lock Shane for yourself." Josh''s brother-in-law teased, making him turn red in embarrassment. Zach chuckled because for the first time their bully brother was silent and unable to backfire. He patted Josh''s shoulders and said, "Take your time¡­ Eventually you will figure things out.. No need to rush.." "No¡­ Josh needs to figure it out really fast, because Shane would have to leave soon. Remember, we will send her back to her country for a mission." Josh heard his brother-in-law remind Zach. Josh paled. He almost forgot about that part. "Can''t I go with her?" he suddenly muttered. "Are you nuts? We will not allow you there!" his brother-in-law exclaimed. Because they were not sure how Josh would be treated inside the Yue clan territory. "How about Shane? Will she be safe going back?" Josh asked with concern. "Yes, she will be safe. It''s her territory, and their family is under the Yue clan. You are still an outsider. Shane can''t guarantee your safety there. What if Mr. Long takes his revenge and have you harmed inside their territory? It will be hard for us to pull you out in time and come to your aide inside. Staying here will be safer because Mr. Long would surely hesitate to touch you once he checked your background knowing you''re connected with me." Zach explained. Josh''s jaw went slack. He felt frustrated. He glanced at Shane''s direction who had a wide smile on her face, chuckling and laughing while she chatted to everyone around her. "I''m his husband. Should I let her go back alone to her home without even meeting her family and introducing myself as her husband properly? Don''t I look like a coward if I will be left here?" Josh muttered, eyes still on Shane. He wanted to meet Shane''s family too and be with her wherever she goes. It was what his heart was telling him to do¡­ Stay with her... Zach and his brother-in-law exchanged meaningful gestures, trying to figure out the possibility of Josh accompanying Shane without him getting endangered. Zach should discuss it further with Shane and Chad later because he would never let his brother face danger in that matter. "If that''s the case¡­ I believe you feel more than just like her¡­ It''s not mere attraction if you want to put your life in danger just to be with her you know¡­" Josh''s brother-in-law could not help but comment. "Can''t it be considered that I''m just simply a marvellous man?" Josh jested before raising his glass for a cheer. But at the back of his mind, he started to doubt how his mind was analyzing everything. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

So she could not help but voice it out, "Mom Liz, I noticed you look so fresh since this late afternoon. I mean you''re already beautiful but today it''s like you''re glowing more." Liz almost choked on her tea and gave Yera a demure smile as her face flushed under the light on the veranda. "See you''re even blushing now," Yera added, teasing her a bit more. Liz was speechless and could only give Yera a meaningful gesture saying for her daughter-in-law to stop, her gaze unconsciously sweeping at James. Yera chuckled in understanding and looked at her father-in-law instead. "Well, dad too is glowing today. I guess that happens with a lot of people who are in love." Yera added with a grin. She was aware that the two were now sharing one room together, so she wanted to take her chance to tease them more. What was worse was that she relayed the same information to Xander, who gave her a video call that night. "Dad, will I soon have another sibling? I hope this time you give me a sister." Xander yelled in the video that made Jame''s face twisted. "You brat. Stop teasing me! You quickly finish your work and come back so that Yera can get busy with you and stop teasing us." James scolded his son. Both he and Liz were too red already, caught red-handed by Yera and Xander. Xander was unstoppable, and Yera could not help but laugh watching the father and son bantering. The conversation only became serious when her father-in-law suggested delaying their wedding plans. "No, why do you have to delay? I can take a flight and reach there quickly anytime for a small visit to attend your wedding. We are not sure how long the trial will proceed here. The estimate is less than a month, but what if it lasts longer? I really want you to proceed with the wedding as planned¡­" Xander insisted. Things could get nasty or he could also be wrong, but before anything untoward could happen, he wanted to witness his dad getting married. He actually wanted to see that same smile on his dad''s face that he had when he married Yera. Or probably because Xander did not want to delay things regarding whatever it was. For him, it would be better to do a thing as early as you could than regret later because you skipped or delayed it? ... At Rui''s Residence Rui arrived at his house a little late, after some drinks with other officers. He helplessly slumped his body on his couch. He was now experiencing how tough it could be managing such an enormous group and he saluted Xander for flawlessly and tirelessly managing everything so easily. Cali and Rui''s relationship was going smoothly. Cali would visit Rui often in the hospital to bring him home-cooked meals whenever Rui was free to eat in his office. Or Rui would instead bring her out for a date. Today, he was so busy that he could not see Cali. No wonder he felt something was missing in his day. He looked at the time on his wristwatch, wondering if Cali was already sleeping. He grabbed his mobile phone and dialed Cali''s number. The mobile phone rang more than thrice. Cali usually answered no longer than in three rings. "Hello¡­ She''s already sleeping¡­" Rui heard Kane answer rudely. He frowned and quickly sat up straight on the couch instead. "Why are you answering her mobile phone? Where is Cali?" Rui asked calmly. "Obviously because we''re together right now doc and as I told you she''s already sleeping beside me." Kane replied, making it sound ambiguous with his double meaning words that sounded as if they were sleeping together. Rui gritted his teeth as a lot of things suddenly played tricks on his mind. ''Sleeping? With Cali? In his room? In her room? At this hour?'' Rui wanted to ask those questions but controlled himself. Again, he trusted Cali but that Kane¡­ he was running low on patience with that brat now, who spared no chance to irritate him whenever he could. "And I won''t suggest you try waking her up. Do you know how Cali hates being awakened whenever she''s in a deep sleep? She roars like a dragon whenever..." Kane added but halted, hearing the end call beep from another line. "What a quick-tempered psychiatrist you have there, Cali. Let''s see if he has enough trust in you," Kane mumbled with a smirk and cleared the strands that covered some parts of Cali''s face who unknowingly dozed off on his shoulder while watching a movie with him in the living room. Nanny Shine saw Cali was already sleeping and asked Kane to help her bring Cali inside her room, then closed Cali''s room. She saw Kane leaning at the wall not far from Cali''s room. ''Poor child,'' she inwardly commented. She passed by him and smiled, "Go sleep too Kane. It''s already late." Kane gave her a nod with a smile. He looked at Cali''s door before letting out a long sigh. Meanwhile, back at Rui''s house, the latter was busy thinking how he could plot to pull Cali out of her house away from Kane. "I''m so childish. I can''t believe I''m even thinking like this," he mumbled and abruptly messed up his own hair by his hand in frustration. Only Xander would play such tricks like what he was now planning to do. "I can''t believe that I even thought about doing this!" he frantically scolded himself. He stood up from his couch and walked towards his room, still annoyed with Kane and shocked at how he was acting totally out of his character. It took him a lot of time in thinking if he would take Cali away or not from the clutches of Kane¡­ before he dozed off to sleep. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Shane went up first to their room. She gulped as she checked Keira and Rizie''s gifts that they bought for her because the two kept on reminding her to use their gifts for tonight and she would surely make Josh drool over her. Saying the night would not end without her getting untouched. Those two even had the same type of gifts. It was like the two were in battle who had gifted the most wild and sexiest lingeries to her. Shane heaved a long sigh and decided to clean herself first since she felt sticky after a long day. Surprisingly, her hip was fine already and she felt no more pain there. Just that there''s a bruise. The bathtub in their room was big and Shane saw some relaxing products for the tub so she decided to take a quick refreshing dip in the water. She could not help but feel nervous, wondering if they would consummate their marriage tonight. "We should. I''m legally his wife now and he is my husband so he must not hesitate or back out," Shane unconsciously voiced out and relaxed her body in the sweet-scented bath. After quite some time, she washed herself up in the shower and as she turned to take the towel, she cried out, "Oh sh*t!" She cursed because she forgot to bring her towel and robe. It was all the fault of lingeries and Josh that she was so out of herself and had spaced out. She was startled when she heard knocking and Josh''s voice came from the door, "Shane, are you there?" Her eyes enlarged, and she quickly walked towards the door, but she felt a sudden cramp and halted. "Awww!" She cried and held one of her hands on the wall for support. The door suddenly opened, and both Josh and she froze. Josh snapped out and with his head bowed down asked, "Are you alright? I heard a scream." "Come here¡­ My leg is cramping, I might lose balance." Shane murmured with an evil smirk inside. ''Opportunity knocks at the right moment. I guess I don''t need any of those lingeries,'' she mused, recalling how Josh gulped seeing her standing there completely naked. "Uhm, wait I''ll go get a towel fast!" Josh muttered, and he was back in a flash with a towel handing it to Shane to cover herself up. Shane twitched her mouth and said, "Please help me walk to the bed." She held Josh, who seemed not in himself, as her support and walked back inside the room. Her hair was tied in a bun because it was only her body she showered with. She paused, and Josh too. "What''s wrong?" Josh asked and finally lifted his head. Shane let the towel covering herself fall on the floor. "The towel fell," she whispered innocently. If there could be an award given for shamelessness, in that scenario Shane would definitely win gold in that award. She wondered how strong Josh''s self control was at that moment too. She saw him gulp his saliva again and saw him feeling a little uneasy¡­ Shane started counting, ten... nine¡­ Before going to eight, she felt Josh pulled her with his arm on her waist. She could feel his ragged breathing on her skin due to their closeness. "I guess falling towels are more effective than wearing lingeries¡­" Shane whispered while she wrapped her arms on Josh''s neck. Shane could see visible fire in Josh''s eyes. A hunger and desire for her was clearly evident in his eyes. "You are really naughty and shameless," Shane heard Josh whisper in his hoarse voice before he hungrily captured her mouth with his. Shane could taste the mixed alcohol in his mouth. She noticed he drank a lot, but he looked sober to her. Shane suddenly got weary at the thought of Josh blacking out on her, so she moved forward while Josh and she were kissing. Josh stepped backwards because of her, who was intentionally leading Josh to the bedside. Shane then moved her hands and completely stripped him off his clothes, leaving nothing on his body, before pushing Josh on the bed then crawling up on top of him. She saw his arousal as clear as water. It was actually quite large as she moved her head down and stared at it. "Stop staring like that." she heard Josh scolded. Shane gave him a timid smile and commented, "I was just wondering if it will fit inside me completely because it seems really large." Josh did not know whether to laugh or cry at that. Would he take that as a compliment? He was actually drunk but sober enough to understand what was happening. The alcohol though helped to give him confidence toward his aggressive actions. He touched Shane''s face and gently caressed her cheeks with the back of his hand. "I think it will perfectly fit in. Let''s find out tonight how well fitted I am for your size. Don''t worry, I will be gentle¡­" Josh whispered with a teasing smile that made Shane gulp this time. She gasped when Josh rolled over her, then bent down to seal her lips. Shane answered his passionate kiss with the same longing and desire. Their tongues collided, tasting each other for a long time. Shane felt Josh''s hands roaming all over her body, touching every curve and caressing every mound, teasing a little more on all her sensitive spots, making her hum in an unexplainable sensation or she was too bewildered to describe the feeling. She did what she learned from their clan''s program. She sensually touched Josh''s body, every spot a man would want to be caressed and touched at and she was satisfied to hear Josh groaned in her mouth. She spread her legs wide ready to accept him but Josh first took his time in pleasuring her, kissing not only her lips but down to her neck and every part of her body. It never came to her that these kinds of plays could bring so much pleasure to her body that she would arch her chest, move her head and even grab Josh''s hair when he reached for her untouched flower. Yeah, it has never been touched by any man except now where it was not only touched but tasted, flicked, licked and sucked by her husband. She bit her lips because she felt like she would explode very soon anytime. They had all night and Shane was anticipating how pleasurable each night would be with Josh in her life. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

One after another they both reached their pinnacle and Josh spurt his liquids inside her valley. "Does it still hurt?" Shane heard Josh murmur in her ear after they regained their breaths. It hurt, but she did not mind at all because the pleasure of uniting with Josh overclouded all the pain. Josh stood up and pulled her up. "I''ll clean you up¡­" Shane did not comment and let Josh take care of her. They both had a shower together. Josh was giving her a thorough clean up like a baby and it felt nice being taken care of like this. She had some bloodstains on her lower part, because of being ripped off by Josh''s large length. Speaking of his length, Shane noticed it was back again in its large size while Josh was massaging her body with soap. "It''s up again?" Shane nonchalantly commented, gazing at Josh''s length. Josh chuckled because Shane was acting too funny with her naive expressions. "It won''t stop getting larger I think whenever you touch me." Josh muttered in a husky voice and Shane widened her eyes when Josh rubbed her private part. "Still hurt?" he asked again as she shook her head, suppressing her urge to moan. Since when did they become so close like this, as if looking and touching at each other''s body was normal for them, without any hesitation? She did the same to Josh and massaged his body with soap. Unlike her, Josh did not hide his growling when she touched his length, rubbing it with soap. Their eyes met and Josh pulled her for a tremendous kiss while the water was dripping on their body, washing the soap off their bodies as they continued to touch and rub each other''s all over. Shane was feeling aroused and that soreness from the first time also seemed to leave her body. Josh pulled and hugged her tight. "It would be uncomfortable for you to do here. Let''s finish showering first." Josh murmured, calming his breath. They left the bathroom after showering and were now in their bathrobes. Josh was gently wiping her wet hair as they sat on the edge of the bed. It was midnight already and here they were still awake. "Do you think what we did is already enough? I mean, I''m no longer a virgin now, right?" Shane murmured. They only did it once, and she felt the sharp pain at first and there''s bloodstain on the sheet also, so she could now go back to her country as soon as Josh''s brother briefed her with the things she needed to do. "Ouch," she murmured when she felt that Josh''s wiping of her hair suddenly became heavy and forceful. "Sorry," Josh muttered with a dim face. Hearing Shane say those words made him annoyed. "That''s definitely not enough¡­" he unconsciously muttered and stood up to remove his bathrobe. "Huh?" Shane looked at him confused. Josh pulled her up to stand in front of him and removed her bathrobe also, letting it fall down on the floor. They were both naked standing in front of each other. "We have to do it repeatedly¡­" Josh continued and cupped her breasts, gently caressing and squeezing them, then he bent down to give them sweet kisses. She was grateful for being pushed back on the bed because her knees were weakening already with the sensation. She bit her tongue when she felt Josh was biting her skin. It was a mixture of pain and a pleasurable sensation for her. Josh was touching her again in between her thighs, spreading them apart. She suddenly blushed seeing Josh was intently staring at her while he was touching her private parts. She suddenly became conscious of his eyes that seemed to be penetrating her soul. Josh wanted to see every inch of Shane''s reaction. Not bothering with his own urge to claim her that instant once more. He loved seeing her with that pleasurable expression, moaning with her eyes closed, then her nibbling of her own lips. Everything she did simply turned him on. He was rubbing her clit slowly before he inserted his one finger inside. She was too damped already, ready for his shaft to penetrate her once more. He sucked her nipples while he moved his finger in and out of her opening, making her milk his finger with her wetness as he inserted another one. "Maybe doing it once is enough?" he asked her while he nibbled her nipples left and right and continued to thrust his fingers in and out, making Shane arched her body while her inner muscles started to contract inside because of how Josh accelerated his thrust. ???No¡­" Shane hummed as she was about to give him another orgasm. "Huh? Tell me, is once enough." Josh asked as if he did not hear Shane answered. Shane wanted to pull Josh''s hair, so she pulled him up and glared at him. "Stop bullying me¡­ I want it several times¡­ I want you inside me over and over again, every night, okay!" Shane scolded with a cracked voice because Josh continued to move in and out of her faster. Her body trembled in ecstasy as she convulsed and released her juices. Josh positioned himself in between her thighs and Shane was startled with the sudden thrust of Josh''s length inside her opening, slamming her in then pulling it halfway and slowly slammed it back in. She pulled Josh''s neck for a deep kiss. Her body was still shaking with that orgasm and here she was again moaning in Josh''s mouth while he pounded her in and out with a teasing manner. Josh showered Shane with lovely kisses. He licked and sucked her neck and then sat up and put Shane''s legs on his shoulder. He wanted to see Shane''s face closely while they made love. He pounded deeper with his eyes on hers. Her pupils were dilated with arousal. Her arms were up, grasping the pillows in pleasure as he sped up his thrust. She was too wet that even though it was very tight inside, he managed to fully penetrate her. Shane yelped and shuddered when Josh changed his rhythm, sliding his full length all the way out before quickly sliding it back inside. "What a tease!" she voiced out followed by a moan. Josh continued doing that until she begged for more... ''How come he''s also a bully in bed!'' Shane complained thinking how she should return the favor to him later. But for now, she moved her hips, distracting his bullying, making Josh bent down and penetrating her with a continuous and stable rhythm up and down, bringing her to another peak where she erupted. "Ahhh¡­" she heard Josh''s howls when he too followed her soon into reaching his pinnacle, spilling or his juices inside of her. Josh was panting as he laid on top of her, burying his face in the crook of her neck. His length was still inside her and Shane could feel his tongue licking on her neck then sucking¡­ "Are we not done yet?" she whispered. Then she felt Josh bite on her neck. "No. Not yet¡­ I''m just starting..." Josh mumbled in his hoarse voice. "Huh?" Shane gasped, confused... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

He sat down with Lana and tried to understand the rules of the Mirage and the proceedings. He used his last strand of patience to understand as much as he could. He and Lana worked together with pros and cons of every evidence they would need to submit. They studied all the scenarios that could come up and happen to be to their disadvantage as well, including how Yun''s group would handle all their accusations and their possible counterparts for the claim to the throne. Xander was a perfectionist and wanted everything to be perfect, every evidence, every witness that they could produce and use for their advantage was checked and contacted. He was glad he had Lana by his side who was also a perfectionist and the best when it came to issues related to Law. She indeed managed every document in an order that things were more easy to understand when she made a move. "No wonder, if you continue like this, you will become an old maid," Xander jested as the two of them took a break with Chad bringing some snacks for them. "I would prefer being single than being with a complicated man like you. I really pity Yera, you know." Lana mumbled. "Ouch! Why is your tongue always sharp!" Xander scolded and Lana only answered him with shrugged shoulders. "Alright! As I told you guys, my request for a visit to the Tai Clan territory has been suddenly granted. I want to bring you two there with me so you can have some private talks with the King about the case. Though he is a very noble person who doesn''t want to indulge in the war between Quan and Yue clans, but I also have a trump card in my hands to make him agree to help us. For now, you both get ready. Milo will give you both your outfits for disguise shortly as my personal bodyguards." Chad interrupted. Xander immediately moved out to change. Lana watched in disbelief and commented, "Look how excited he is?" Xander always kept Lana on her toes. She wondered which drug he was on because neither did he himself sleep properly nor did he even let her sleep,and always kept asking a lot of questions to her every now and then. "I should ask for triple pay and hazard pay for this. I can even ask for mental harassment benefit from this doctor." Lana jokingly said with a crumpled face. Chad chuckled and said, "His life is on the line, Lana. As much as I have understood him, he doesn''t care so much about himself, but he has people he cares for, so he''s doing his best to stay alive for them, if not for himself." Then Chad looked at Lana and asked, "Once you fall in love you will then understand how much you want to keep safe and wish to live for the one you love." "Why Chad, are you in love now that you seem to understand his dilemma easily?" Lana backfired the question with a mocking grin. ¡­. Xander was in disguise along with Lana as a part of Chad''s security team that he took to go to meet the current leader of the Tai Clan in their own territory. It was Chad''s first time entering the said premises in connection with the campaign for presidency. Tai Clan''s security was also very tight and any kind of weapons were not allowed to be taken inside. Chad was escorted inside the mansion after a thorough check and most of his bodyguards were not allowed inside. "You can only have two companions with you inside and without any weapons with them," one of the security team personnels informed them. Chad signaled Xander and Lana to follow him from behind. King Arvin led Tai Clan, and Chad appreciated the man for maintaining peace in their clan. The man was a good leader. If only the Yue clan would act the same way, the peace and order in the Mirage Triad all over the world would be splendid. But the entire setup of the Yue clan was in a mess because of the wrong mindset of the King The security men guided three of them inside and they walked straight to the path that led them towards an enormous garden where a man sat in a wheelchair and was feeding his two big wolves. Lana was horrified and with rounded eyes whispered to Xander in disbelief, "Are they wolves?" It was her first time seeing actual wolves, and they were huge in size and looked so scary with those almond shaped eyes glaring in their direction, growling at the visitors, ready to pounce on them and tear them apart. "Shhh. They are friends visiting us. Calm down¡­" the man tamed them with just a few words and they followed his command. Their trembling heart had just calmed down when a beautiful woman approached them. "I''m Luna. Father is waiting for you, please follow me." she said, and they all followed her towards the man in the wheelchair. Chad extended his hand to the man and said, "I''m Chad, King Arvin. My father would like to say his regards to you as well." The man nodded and signaled him to sit at the chairs near him. Chad signaled Lana and Xander to sit beside him. "Actually, I''m here with my friends¡­ to also discuss something¡­" Chad started. "Hmm, but as you know that our clan never wants to interfere in the war between your clan and Yue clan." King Arvin responded and stared at his daughter who was now playing with the two tamed beasts, not very far away from them. "Chad, it is not that I don''t want to extend my helping hand, but as you can see, my condition is getting worse with passing time. I only have Luna to succeed me, but look at her? If we join your fight, how do you think our clan will be able to survive?" Lana looked at Luna. She was dressed like a princess. She assumed she was spoiled too much by his father and not given enough training as the successor of the Tai clan. King Arvin noticed Lana staring at his daughter so he confirmed, "Yes, Luna grew up away from here, knowing nothing about the clan. It''s all my fault because I thought I could give her a life without the shadow of our clan behind her. She had only found out very recently about our family background. She will soon start her training, but it will take her quite some time to be perfectly trained. I personally do not want her to take this position, but I have no choice now." "What if your brother happened to have a daughter?" Chad opened up. "What do you mean?" King Arvin whose attention was piqued keenly looked at Chad. King Arvin''s brother Lark was the crowned successor of Tai Clan but went missing along with his wife who was pregnant at that time, during a chase by some enemies. Everyone thought she died with the baby. King Arvin''s face paled with the thought that his brother''s wife gave birth to a girl before dying ''Oh God, big bro, your daughter is alive. Oh my God¡­'' King Arvin mused as tears fell from his eyes. His brother Lark and his wife Ava have an ill-fated love story and they both ended very miserably. "I have to then find her and bring her back to where she belongs." King Arvin muttered and closely looked at Chad and added, "Tell me more about my niece and also tell me what help do you need from me?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Cali was about to arrive with home-cooked lunch for him. He was grinning by himself when his door opened. "Wow. Did you know I was coming? That''s why you''re smiling ear to ear like that? Missed me?" Dr. Yao seductively winked while she comfortably sat on the couch. Rui gulped because that was so unexpected, a visit from such a sly fox. "You disappeared like a bubble without a single word? Do you think I will miss you?" Rui scoffed. "Why are you here anyway?" he asked, wondering why Dr. Yao would pay a visit to him. "Hmm. I just want to confirm with my own eyes that they did not commit any mistake in the DNA results." Dr. Yao simply answered. Rui creased his forehead because he was not aware of it. "Which DNA result are you talking about?" He enquired. Dr. Yao stood up from her seat and roamed in every corner of his office. "I guess you are not aware of my so-called look alike?" Dr. Yao casually asked. Rui did not reply, so she added, "Anyway, never mind that, I heard Dr. CEO was not around. Do you happen to know where he is?" She turned to look at Rui who was sitting in his chair, acting busy with something. Rui coughed and asked, "Why are you curious about him? Don''t tell me you still intend to follow him?" Dr. Yao chuckled lightly and murmured, "Hmm, I have my own ways if I wanted to follow him around. It''s just a piece of cake for me. How about you, Rui? Do you see yourself managing Yang Globals group in the future? I heard there''s a threat on Dr. CEO''s life so in short we can''t tell what will happen next" Rui''s face darkened and hissed, "Stop it, Candice. Nothing will happen to Xander!" Dr. Yao lifted an eyebrow and with a smirk walked towards Rui and held Rui''s armrests to lean down and whispered into his ear, "Relax¡­ Dr. Dee... Why are you so worked up?" That was the scene when Cali entered Rui''s office. ¡­ Cali had a bright smile on her face as she walked towards Rui''s office. Today she had cooked a recipe Rui specially requested, and she was too excited to see Rui''s expression and hear his comments about her cooking. Aunt Jean was no longer on her desk when she arrived, so she walked directly into Rui''s office and opened his door. She was about to greet him when she saw a woman leaning on him as if kissing him on his chair. She stood there like a statue and she lost grip of the paper bag she was holding, causing it to fall on the ground. ''What''s going on?'' she wanted to shout and yell but she could not even open her freaking mouth. It was as if she had lost her tongue. The sound of the bento box on the floor startled the two in front of her. "Cali," Rui gasped in shock and quickly pushed the woman away who gave her a beautiful sly smile. "Hello little girl." the woman greeted in a sensual voice, as if nothing had happened. The woman paused in front of Cali and added, "Looks like you''ve seen a ghost. I think I''m too alluring for a ghost. Are you perhaps Rui''s sister?" Rui''s face paled, and he went to Cali''s side and said, "She''s my fiance." Dr. Yao''s eyebrows raised and said, "Oh nice to meet you¡­" She looked at Rui and scorned, "Isn''t she a bit too young for an old man like you?" "Anyway. I will leave you two since you too must need some time alone. By the way, I''ll be in the city until tomorrow. How about I treat you to a grand dinner before I leave? I owe you one so I will make it special." Dr. Yao added, enjoying Rui''s crumpled and paled face. Rui, who was a person who talked too much in front of her, cut his tongue out at that moment. ''Interesting!'' Dr. Yao mused. Rui shook his head. "No need to treat me. We''re good." Rui simply said, frowning. Dr. Yao winked at him and said, "Okay. In case you change your mind, call me." The woman turned at Cali and with a wink muttered, "Bye pretty little girl," leaving the two alone afterwards. Rui held Cali''s hand, and it was too cold. "Cali don''t misunderstand things. It''s not what you think. Come here and sit." Rui said as he pulled Cali on the couch. Seeing Cali''s expression, Rui could tell that she misunderstood what she saw. He did not like what was happening. He cursed Candice for acting like that. It was Candice''s normal hobby to pester him like that and he was used to it, but it surely did not look so in Cali''s eyes. He felt Cali removed his hand on hers. "I forgot¡­ I have to see Kane now. I just brought your lunch, but I messed it up. I will just tell aunt Jean to order a takeout." Cali muttered with a forced smile and rushed out of Rui''s door. "Cali wait¡­ Cali¡­" Rui called and ran for her. "Don''t follow me please just don''t follow me now. I will just call you Rui okay. Don''t worry¡­" Cali shouted, so Rui stopped. He felt uneasy and did not want her to go without knowing the facts, but he knew Cali did not want him to see her in that broken state. So he controlled himself from following her, but later he would seek and talk to her. Cali ran because she did not want Rui to see her crying. She went into the restroom and locked herself in a cubicle. She was hurting for no reason. ''Did you see them kiss?'' she asked herself, but she saw that woman was too close to Rui. ''Gather yourself and act more mature! Go back and clear things with Rui!'' her inner self scolded, but Cali wanted time to gather and compose herself. Her mobile phone beeped. She looked at it and it was a message from Rui. [Please come back and let''s talk. Let''s eat too¡­ I''m starving¡­ I will wait for you in the office.] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Cali silently cried inside the cubicle for she didn''t know how long. She hated the way she was acting and wiped the uncontrollably falling tears from her eyes. She felt so petty to cry over such a minor thing but maybe it was because she was naturally emotional so she could not help the tears from flowing. She composed herself and decided to go back to Rui''s office. She went out from the cubicle and looked at herself in the mirror. She cursed because it was still obvious from her eyes that she had cried. Her jaw dropped when the other cubicle opened, and it was the same woman whom she had seen with Rui, Dr. Yao. "Oh, hello again, Cali, right?" the doctor asked with her cunning smile. Cali did not like those smiles. Yes, it was warm and beautiful, but she felt it looked very sly and cunning. Cali forced a smile at her. She saw a hint of sympathy from Dr. Yao when her eyes landed on her hair. "I''m sorry about what happened. I heard you were among the victims of the bridge collapse." she heard Dr. Yao murmured before her eyes became more sly again. She did some retouch on her makeup as she casually said, "Rui is a good man. Actually. I think he likes me and I like him too. But I like him as a person, not romantically. I love to tease him a lot so I hope you don''t mind that. It''s a habit of mine¡­ Teasing young handsome men¡­" Dr. Yao chuckled and Cali did not know what to say about that, except that she only kept staring at her beautiful face. She was mature and composed. Cali bet she was a strong woman based on her aura, unlike herself, who was so weak. "You said he likes you?" Cali murmured. Dr. Yao laughed, an evilness dripping from her laughter, and patted Cali''s shoulder. "Yeah, he does like me¡­ I can easily steal him away from you little girl if I want to. So tell me? Are you confident about your man and his love for you?" Dr. Yao whispered in her ear, followed by light laughter as she walked out from the restroom. Dr. Yao paused outside the restroom and smirked, "Let''s see Mr. Meddler how deeply your woman loves you. If she won''t trust you enough, then you need to give her more time to mature. Geez, she is so young for you, my friend¡­." She whispered while shaking her head and continued to go to the DNA testing facility. ...¡­ Rui looked at the boxes of various dishes on his table. Cali cooked it all. Rui heaved a deep sigh and patiently waited. He rested his head on the backrest of his couch and looked at the ceiling. He closed his eyes¡­ waiting¡­ After a few more minutes, he heard footsteps, so he quickly opened his eyes, hoping it could be Cali. But to his disappointment it was Jean. "Oh, I thought you and Cali will be having lunch together?" Jean commented with a frown, seeing the food is still not touched. Rui exhaled loudly and said, "What is my next schedule? If it''s not important can we cancel it?" Jean nodded and replied, "Nothing important. I will cancel it." Hearing that, Rui rushed out of his room to look for Cali. He hated it. Candice often caused havoc in a relationship. First it was Xander and now him. He irritably scoffed and continued to dial Cali''s number. It couldn''t be reached, so he contacted the men he had appointed to secure Cali''s safety. Yes, he assigned a security team for Cali in disguise, to make sure she was safe, especially when Cali was not with him. He just could not simply let her be in danger because of her connection with Shane. "Where is she?" he asked on another line. "At the ice cream restaurant near the hospital boss," his man reported and gave him the details. It was not very far from the hospital. Rui went to the parking lot to get his car and drove and parked it in front of the restaurant. He saw Cali sitting inside eating a big ice cream in a large container. ''Ice cream for lunch?'' Rui mused in disbelief. He was about to go out from his car but halted when he saw Kane rushing inside the restaurant. The wall of the restaurant was made of transparent glass so he could see what was going on sitting in his car. Rui frowned seeing Kane pulled Cali for a hug. ''What the heck?!'' he scorned and quickly went out of the car and rushed inside the restaurant. He barged inside and separated the two. Cali was too shocked to see him. Rui grabbed Cali''s hand to pull her out from the restaurant, but Kane grabbed Cali''s other wrist. "What are you doing?" Rui hissed. Kane''s eyebrows arched and said, "Cali is not in the condition to go with you, so just let her go¡­" "It''s not for you to decide boy, so let go of her hand right now or else¡­" Rui chided, he did not like those mocking smirk Kane was giving him. "Or else what, doc? You let go of her arm instead, if I were you¡­" Kane countered. "I''m her fiance¡­" Rui firmly stated. Cali exhaled loudly before looking at Kane and said, "Kane let go of my wrist. I''m sorry but I need to talk to Rui. Please go back to what you''re doing¡­" Inside the car Cali casually said, "I''m hungry. Let''s have lunch then talk." Her voice was expressionless, and Rui did not like that. "Yes, let''s eat first." But Cali could not handle the tension between them. She broke down and asked what was haunting her, because it was the only thing that kept on replaying in her head that was why she was losing confidence to go back to Rui''s office. "She said, you like her." she murmured. "What?!" Rui burst. Cali turned to look at him and repeated, "Do you like Dr. Yao?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

"Welcome to our home, Mrs. Rizie Lim Han!" Dion blurted as soon as they were inside the mansion. "Waaah!" Rizie screamed when Dion suddenly carried her in his arms. "Don''t tell me you want to go upstairs carrying me like this. Oh, my gosh! We both might fall down!" Rizie exclaimed, worried because she knew she was not light at all. "Do you really think your husband is that weak? Not all men without muscles are weak, you know. Let me prove it to you right now!" Dion felt challenged with her words and even walked faster on the stairs while he carried Rizie into a bridal style towards their new room. Rizie was not breathing at all as she tightly clung to Dion''s neck with closed eyes. She was too scared as she felt Dion''s large and fast steps. "Hey slow down, no one is after us." she scolded, eyes still closed. But Dion did not slow down, proving his stamina and masculinity well to his wife. He stopped and murmured, panting, "We''re here." Rizie chuckled, seeing the sweat on his face. "Put me down now." she mumbled with a grin. "No," Dion whispered and opened the door before placing Rizie on their bed. "Wooww," Rizie gasped, seeing the exquisite design of their room that suited her taste very well too. It was spacious and a perfect pastel shade was all over. A large portion of one wall was covered with picture frames and had pictures of them both from their childhood and even of the day they got married. It was very modern, elegant yet very personal and each corner reeked of Dion''s love and affection for her. She looked at Dion and laughed while she removed his necktie and unbuttoned his sleeves. "You should change," she murmured and was about to stand up from the bed to grab a small towel and wipe his sweat but Dion blocked her. "I prefer being naked¡­" he teasingly whispered. Rizie''s eyebrows arched and murmured, "Really?" Dion nodded several times. "Hmm, later. I want to explore our new room first." Rizie teased and ran to other rooms like the study area. Dion scratched his head and followed her. He smiled seeing how Rizie seemed to love the decoration he had done for their room. "You''ve gained more weight, didn''t you notice?" Dion whispered in Rizie''s ear from behind. Rizie turned around and wrapped her arms at Dion. But she suddenly felt like her stomach crunched and wanted to vomit, so she ran towards the restroom. Dion laughed and shouted, "Stop it, Rizie. Do you wanna play hide and seek, why do you keep running?" He walked back inside and heard Rizie from the restroom, vomiting. Dion quickly ran towards her and saw Rizie continuously vomiting at the sink. He recalled what Rizie ate for lunch. "Let''s go to the hospital." Dion insisted when Rizie finally stopped vomiting. "What date is today?" Rizie asked and Dion answered. "I''m delayed¡­" Rizie murmured. "You mean?" Dion asked in wide eyes. She nodded. "Wait here¡­ I''ll run to buy a pregnancy test kit first." Dion excitedly uttered, and he was gone before Rizie''s eyes in a flash. Rizie chuckled as she excitedly caressed her tummy. "I hope it''s positive," she whispered with an ear to ear grin. Dion was back so fast with various pregnancy kits with him. "Here, pee in the cup then drop¡­" Dion instructed. "Yes, I know. Don''t get too excited, what if it''s just an upset stomach¡­" Rizie recalled before going inside the restroom. After quite some time, Rizie opened the door. "What?" Dion whispered. She crumpled her face and said, "I can''t pee. It''s not coming out." "Huh?" Dion breathed before quickly walking to the small refrigerator in their room and grabbed a bottle of water from inside. "Here, drink this." he instructed and Rizie finished the bottle. She went back inside and laughed. "Pshhhhhh¡­." "Psshhhhh¡­" Dion was humming the hum when you want a baby or a toddler to pee. "Stop that! Are you cheering me on?" Rizie complained, still laughing. "Shhh. Concentrate on peeing. Ppssshhh¡­" Dion continued to make that sound. "Psshhh." After quite some time, Rizie went out again and shook her head. "It''s really not coming out." Rizie mumbled, feeling irritated already on why she was not able to pee in this crucial time. Dion chuckled and commented, "Maybe it''s because you''re too excited. Sometimes that happens. Come here." He pulled Rizie on the bed to sit on his lap, then hugged her tightly. Then tilted his head up and said, "Kiss¡­" Rizie bent her head and obediently granted her husband''s request. The kiss soon became passionate and Dion ended up removing his wife''s blouse touching Rizie''s private parts. He was kissing her exposed bosoms while his hand touched her apex. Rizie groaned in pleasure when Dion''s hand slipped inside her panty. His finger was tracing her line, caressing and teasing her. He was making her feel wet with his thumb playing on her clit. Dion moved and laid Rizie on the bed as he spread her legs and inserted his finger in her wet opening. Rizie hummed in pleasure because of her husband doing wonderful thrust inside her that soon her body convulsed in climax. Dion whirled all his clothes to take her wife. He positioned himself in between her legs and thrust his member deep inside of Rizie''s entrance. It was easy because of her juices. He slumped in and out. He would soon reach his climax when Rizie suddenly pushed him away with force and quickly stood up from the bed. "I need to pee now!" Rizie blurted out and rushed inside the restroom. Dion was left flabbergasted and helplessly looked at his erect member then looked at the restroom, wondering if Rizie would take long. His thoughts of gaining a tragic blueball were startled by the sudden scream from Rizie inside the restroom.

To her disappointment, she did not hear any reply from Rui. He simply started the car and led her to eat lunch. They went out to eat lunch together, and he still didn''t reply to her. There was an awkward silence between them that was making her go crazy. Cali wanted to shout and cry, ask for explanations, but she controlled herself. She tried to be calm. Rui was supposed to drop her home after lunch, as she knew he had some appointments, but he stopped the car at an exclusive boutique. She went out of the car with knitted brows when Rui opened her door. "What are we doing here?" Cali asked in a downcast done. Rui held her hand and pulled her inside the boutique. "Let''s buy some clothes for you first." he simply answered. Cali frowned. ''Did he think buying me clothes will be enough to pacify my irritation? He did not even answer my question yet!'' Cali inwardly complained. Rui bought everything without her knowing the sales lady helped choose her size even on underwear and many more. "What else is missing? Do we need to drop you to your house to get other things? I think I bought every essentials you might need." Rui calmly murmured as he drove in the car. Cali was not in herself. She could hear Rui, but her mind was not able to process his words and so she did not understand him at all. She only looked at her window while her thoughts were occupied with that Dr. Yao and her unanswered question to Rui. The car stopped and her eyes blinked several times because they were at Rui''s house. She suddenly became nervous. "Why are we here?" Cali asked while Rui pulled her inside to the living room and sat on the couch. He made Cali sit in front of him and looked into her eyes intently. "Sorry about earlier. I intentionally did not answer you because I didn''t want to talk nor explain while driving or eating or in the public place." Rui started, with his eyes fixed on Cali. He raised his one arm and lovingly cupped Cali''s face. "I may have liked many people in my life before I met you or until now but that doesn''t mean I have the same feelings for them like I have for you, because I will only love one woman in my entire life. And that''s the woman whom I will marry. And in this life I have already chosen that woman and... it''s you..." Rui explained, hoping Cali could understand him with those words. He could not directly say the words to Cali for some reason but in his heart he was sure it was Cali, the woman for him and the woman he came to treasure at that point of his life. Cali bit her bottom lip. She had mixed emotions at that moment. She was speechless. She felt a plethora of emotions built in her but before she could think of how to answer him Rui pulled her for a tight hug. Cali''s heart felt so much at ease by his words and actions. In his embrace she knew she was most loved and cherished by him. Tears started to fall from her eyes, but very quickly she stopped herself. She knew each of his words was sincere, yet she felt something was missing in Rui''s words, or maybe because she expected to hear more words or some stronger words to feel more secure. But she knew that she must not hurry a man''s heart or force it. She needed more patience because she was the one who had asked for this arrangement. In the first place, she chose Rui for herself and Rui did not choose her. ''Are you confident about your man and his love for you?'' Those words of Dr. Yao kept on banging in her head, mocking her, giving her an insecurity she had never felt before. She closed her eyes and hugged Rui back tightly. She might not be confident about Rui''s love right now, but she was confident about her love for Rui from the day one. Unless Rui pushed her out of his life and told her to leave him alone, she would stay with him. Slowly and steadily she would carve her name in Rui''s heart using a permanent mark. Cali pulled out from the hug and stared at Rui. "Is that why you''re offering your house to me to stay so that I can keep watch on you and not complain? I will trust you okay so I don''t need to actually stay here and invade your privacy that much." Cali with pouted lips muttered. "And even if I stay here, I can not see whatever it is you''re doing in the hospital or wherever you go on meetings or whoever it is that you''re really meeting up with¡­" Cali added with her flaring nostrils that made Rui laugh. "Are you worried about me seeing Candice? No!!! That won''t happen." Rui justified, shaking his head and with a smile on his face. "It''s okay. You can see her anytime you want. I just have one request from you¡­ That is to be honest with me. It''s better to hurt someone Rui than lie to someone because you''re afraid to hurt them. So please always remember that. I have told you already. I''m an easy person to deal with. You can easily sweep me away from your life, you just need to say the word." Cali reiterated because it was true. She would fight for what she was feeling, but she knew her limitations. She would rather let the person she loved be free rather than hold on to that person, even if the feelings were not reciprocated. That was the kind of a loser she did not want herself to see. Cali''s words were very clear and Rui knew she was deeply hurt by Candice today. He didn''t know how to tell more things to her now and just heaved a sigh before pulling her again into his embrace. "I want you to really stay by my side Cali, not today but for many days that was what I wanted but couldn''t word out my feelings. Even today, it is not because of anything or anyone else but simply because that''s what I want." Rui muttered. That was what he wanted and a part of it was taking Cali out from Kane''s grasp because he was really uncomfortable with that man. For some reason, he had a feeling that Kane would take Cali away from him. He definitely could not beat the years Kane and Cali shared together for now, but he wanted to start building his own memories with Cali. Cali felt a sense of belonging with the words Rui said. The clouds of confusion and insecurity started fading away from her heart. She snuggled in his embrace and held on to him. Rui picked Cali from her waist and made her sit on his lap. He stared in her eyes and asked, "Still angry?" "No, I was not angry, but just a little upset. But I am happy now." Cali replied with a bashful smile on her face. Rui started to lose his control with her closeness. He held her tightly in his arms and pressed his lips on hers. Cali slipped her arms on his neck and let him take the lead for the kiss and felt her heart was happy and content. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Josh complained seeing his brother was back and had requested Shane''s presence in one of the private rooms in their hotel. "Josh don''t worry, we will not send her too soon. We just need to brief her on certain things like the bugs she would need to install and with a few more gadgets from our team, their uses and how and when to activate them." Zach explained. "Alright, I''ll just go and fetch her." Josh mumbled with a crumpled face in front of Zach and his men who had come to make Shane familiar with various things. Ever since last night, he had become more protective of Shane. He himself did not understand what it was. Maybe it was because he considered Shane as his since their marriage. He wanted to take full responsibility for her. He went back to the mansion and saw Shane with his mother in the kitchen. His mother was teaching Shane to bake, and it looked like the two of them were having a good time together. "I hate to interrupt you both, but I need Shane right now mom. Can I borrow her for a while?" Josh jested with a grin. Shane unconsciously blushed, brewing a perverted thought on Josh''s words. She bid her farewell to Josh''s mother when Josh held her hand and pulled her out of the kitchen. "Isn''t it a bit early? I mean, we can wait till the evening." Shane whispered and her brows knitted when they walked out of the mansion. "Where are we going?" he asked Josh who gave her a teasing grin. "Why? Are you so disappointed? We can stop over in our room for some time if you want or do it there inside the car. You know we did it this morning too, so it''s not necessarily needed to wait for the evening for a thing like that." Josh teased. Shane wrinkled her face as she went inside Josh''s car. Josh was grinning hard seeing the irritation on Shane''s face. He went inside the car and started the engine, but he did not drive it yet. Instead, he turned at Shane and leaned towards Shane. "What are you doing?" Shane hissed seeing Josh''s grinning face too close on her. "You look disappointed in going out. Do you want to stay in the room with me for a while?" Josh shamelessly teased that made Shane''s eyes widened in embarrassment. "Well¡­ Uhm.." she stuttered looking for words but was not able to utter one because Josh lips sealed hers that instant. Shane was taken aback, but her arms unconsciously wrapped on Josh''s neck. Having too much affection like this felt good and somehow bringing the two of them close together. Josh pulled out first, or else he couldn''t fight the urge to take Shane at that spot in an instant if he would not stop. "Big bro is waiting for you at the hotel. He will start discussing the mission¡­" Josh sourly relayed. Shane was still at cloud nine and did not even hear Josh properly. Her body was in heat because of Josh and she removed her seatbelt and pounced on her husband. Josh was startled seeing Shane on his lap and she even moved his seat backwards. "You should finish what you started. I hate it whenever things hang like that my body becomes uncomfortable." Shane complained while she unbuckled Josh''s pants. Josh gulped, he almost forgot that when it came to shamelessness, he would not be able to beat Shane. But his body was in agreement with Shane. It was too obvious because of his erect rod as soon as Shane released it. "Aren''t you still sore?" Josh was a bit worried because they did it in the morning too and Shane surely was still sore. "I don''t know¡­" Shane whispered and added, "But I feel hot. Is it bad?" Josh deliberately shook his head and gulped when Shane brushed her panty on him. He pulled her for a deep kiss and growled when he felt his rod gently sliding inside of Shane. She was wet, and he doubted she removed her panty under her skirt. She probably moved it sideways. ''Was it just lust between them?'' Josh asked himself followed by humming when Shane gently rode him. It was very clear that both of them were attracted to each other. Their body seemed to have a magnet that often stuck together whenever they got close like this. "Isn''t it painful?" he murmured in her lips. He was worried. "Hmm, a bit, but it feels good too," Shane answered, stammering. Josh''s hand moved and slid inside Shane''s shirt. She was wearing her bra, so he unhooked it from the inside so he could touch her firm breast. Her peaks were hard, and he gently pinched it, making Shane shiver as she continued to ride him. Josh met her rhythm while Shane''s hand grasped on the window as she arched her body and accelerated her movement. Yes, there''s a bit of pain, but the pleasure was immeasurable and the pain was gradually defeated by pleasure. Josh''s car was heavily tinted, but it was bouncing hard. Good thing there was no one around in the garage where it was parked. The newlywed husband and wife soon both reached the pinnacle. Shane was almost breathless as she jolted and hugged Josh. Her body was still shaking so was Josh who tightly wrapped his arms on Shane''s body. "Bro-in-law is waiting, we should leave," Shane tiredly muttered. "Let him wait. Let''s stay like this for a while¡­" Josh whispered. For some reason, he did not like the fact that Shane would have to go back to her country. ''Was there a way to stop her?'' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

At Plumeria Island Liz received a call from Dion. Her son was so overjoyed by his wife''s pregnancy that he called his mother as soon as they confirmed the test it in the hospital. Both Liz and James congratulated the couple. They were happy about the good news. "I can''t believe that even Dion is faster than my son." James could not help but complain that made Liz laugh seeing his flared nostrils. "Hang in there, hon. I''m sure Xander and Yera will soon have one. Didn''t you notice how Yera suddenly became a glutton. Like before, I''m seeing the same symptoms, though this time I always see her in oranges and a variety of sour fruits before it''s just green mangoes." Liz voiced out her hunch. James heaved a lengthy sigh. He did not want to expect, but he would keep on praying for Yera and Xander''s safety. That was top priority for now. He would pester his son without fail once everything was back to normal. But he would be glad if Yera got pregnant again soon. "Yera left already?" he asked Liz. The two of them were walking hand in hand at the white sandbar. "Yeah¡­ She''s excited. Well, I hope working in that facility will keep her busy and somehow blissful, though Xander is still not around." Liz commented, she thought it would be a great help for Yera to unwind in doing things she loved the most, giving medical care and help to people. ¡­.. Yera reported early at the island''s medical center. Regan introduced her to the staff and doctors on duty. The hospital was still on an ongoing construction, though it was already operational. It was not as big as the ones in the Capital City since it was just an exclusive facility for Ryu''s personnel in the island and their families. "Ryu hired new doctors since the population on the island is growing. Besides, it was hard to keep our doctors since most of them preferred to be in the City so mostly we have interns then a few accredited medical practitioners. We hired five doctors in different fields that preferred to work in this kind of environment." Regan explained as they walked down the hallway going to Yera''s clinic. "Say ahhh darling¡­ Open your mouth sweetie. This cute doctor needs to see those tonsils, then later I will give you something for being a good girl," Yera paused, hearing a familiar voice from an open clinic where a doctor in a lab gown was checking her patient with her back on Yera. "Oh, that''s Dr. Yao. You probably know her since she was also a previous doctor at Sir Xander''s hospital. We hired her after seeing the good credentials and background." Regan informed,. "Dr. Yao?" Yera burst and the doctor finally turned around. Dr. Yao looked surprised to see Yera but quickly turned the corner of her lips upward. "Oh, hello Dr. Yera Han, how come you''re here too? Is that really you?" Dr. Yao greeted her with her usual warm smile. After Yera''s briefing, she went back to Dr. Yao clinic and invited the latter for some coffee. "I''m shocked you invited me for a chat," Dr. Yao commented with a smirk. "I know right. Well, it''s just good to see familiar faces in here¡­ Also, I will ask a favor.." Yera directed. Dr. Yao sipped her coffee first before saying, "Yeah, I know. Don''t worry. I will zip my mouth about seeing you here. I know Dr. CEO''s life is in danger. It''s all over the news that time, so I''m aware." "Hmm, chocolate? Isn''t cold mocha coffee your favorite? Is it because you''re pregnant?" Dr. Yao directly asked, which made Yera crease her forehead. "How did you know iced mocha is my favorite?" Yera asked. She did not want to answer her about her suspicion on her pregnancy since they were not that close. Dr. Yao laughed and said, "Everybody knows that at Yang Globals hospital. You''re quite popular¡­" Yera looked at Dr. Yao and she asked, "Why work here?" Dr. Yao met her eyes and murmured, "Why not? I like peaceful places to be honest. I want some time alone. An environment like this helps to calm my thoughts on various things. Being in a simple place without too much chaos is my biggest dream." "How is Dr. CEO? Is he with you? Can I visit him?" Dr. Yao asked in a row that made Yera''s face sour. Dr. Yao broke into a fit of laughter and mumbled, "Don''t worry, I won''t mess around with a pregnant woman around okay. I''m just curious how he is doing." "His is good." Yera plainly answered and sipped on her chocolate. "This place is good and relaxing. I''m sure you will enjoy it here." Yera casually commented, diverting the topic. "Yeah, I went back to the city the other day. Rui is managing the company. You''re aware of the DNA right? The one I did with the woman who looked like me." Dr. Yao answered. "It just doesn''t make sense. I heard she''s from an isolated indigenous island." Dr. Yao added almost a hum. Yera looked at Dr. Yao and commented, "Sometimes unbelievable things happened that we couldn''t believe existed. What matters is we learn to face everything with courage, whatever it is I guess?" Yera was aware of the DNA testing, but she did not bother to hear the result since it was not her life to pounder. She had her own load to better focus on with. "How long are you planning to stay here?" she heard Dr. Yao whisper. "How about you, Dr. Yao? Do you see yourself staying here for too long." Yera asked back. Dr. Yao turned her head at Yera and answered, "It depends¡­ For now it''s indefinitely. Who knows¡­ We might get along well while we''re here. Having a drink together like this would be nice." "Though I prefer Dr. CEO joining me here instead of his pregnant wife." Dr. Yao jested. ''How come everybody is assuming she''s pregnant?'' she mused then voiced out, "Why do you think I''m pregnant?" "Dear¡­ You''re gaining weight. Can''t you see your chubby cheeks in the mirror? I won''t get surprised when you suddenly turn into a hog. That would be an advantage for me, I guess." Yera''s face twitched seeing the woman laughing. ''How come Dr. Yao always loved to irritate and spoil the mood?'' * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Not because she wanted to guard him, but solely for the fact that living together would have a higher chance of good development of feelings and to know each other more. She puffed air in her cheeks while reading Kane''s text messages with narrowed eyes. He also called, but she did not answer, knowing the latter would only scold her. [Are you crazy, Cali? Is pride not in your vocabulary?] She twitched her face before typing a reply. She liked Kane because the latter had no inhibitions in telling her the truth about herself, the good, the bad and the ugly. But sometimes, when Kane tended to overreact on simple things, she must straighten him out. [Kane, please mind your own business. I''m not a child anymore so I can decide and be responsible for my own actions. Instead of nagging me, please focus on finding Shane during your stay here because I''m also getting worried about her. Give me a call or message me once you have found Shane''s whereabouts.] She was in the living room, sitting comfortably on the couch while Rui was preparing snacks for them. She was restless after her encounter with Dr. Yao, and was anxious about checking the internet about various ways on how she could secure her man. "Geeez!" she hissed, recalling the words from that vixen. "I will definitely secure my man!" Cali pursed her lips. She also read while scrolling on the net that one secret for a lasting relationship was an open and honest communication, just like what Rui said before. "I have to make him engaged with me mentally, emotionally and physically," she murmured before she suddenly recalled something. Her eyes glinted as she excitedly searched for videos. But before opening it, she looked around, making sure it was only her who could see the videos. Her cheeks reddened while she watched some videos and tried to find out ways to give pleasure to Rui. She bit her lips thinking she should do the same, seeing that pleasurable expression of the man while the woman was doing certain things on him. She was actually curious about how she could please Rui by being a little physically intimate too but she did not have much time to check on it earlier, though she had heard of a few things from friends, but she never knew the details of it, and watching the videos like those made her cringe. She was having such expressions where one of her eyes narrowed with a kotow face when Rui arrived in the living room with snacks and saw her weird look. ''What is it that she''s looking at in her phone and that made her face so conflicted?'' Rui mused of curiosity because Cali''s expression was unexplainable. She looked very funny with a twisted face and lips. Out of curiosity, he quietly sat beside Cali to sneak a look on her mobile screen, but Cali was fast in hiding her mobile phone when she felt him around her. Cali''s heart was thumping furiously out of nervousness while Rui tried to grab the mobile phone from her. She struggled hard for Rui not to get it, but Rui was stronger than her. ''Oh, my gosh! It''s so embarrassing!'' she cried when Rui saw the video that was still playing on the screen of her mobile phone. ''Waaaaaaahhhhh!'' she silently cried. Cali wanted the ground to eat her alive at that moment. She quickly snatched her mobile phone from Rui''s hand. It was the most embarrassing moment of her life, getting caught watching such dirty videos and that too by her fiance! "I''m sorry," Rui muttered, realizing he shouldn''t have grabbed the phone like that from Cali and must respect her privacy. It was wrong snatching the phone like that. He had complicated expressions though after seeing the video where a woman was giving a man a blow job. He tried his best not to laugh seeing Cali''s reddened face. He was really shocked to see Cali was watching it. But he could not help getting curious about why she would watch such a thing, though it was probably normal watching such things at her age. "Why are you watching that¡­" he asked, unable to finish the words. "Nothing... I feel stupid for not knowing what to do to make you feel good, so I was just curious to find out ways to please you when it came to being a little physically intimate." Cali honestly answered in a small voice and with her head down, feeling awkward. ''He probably thought how perverted I could be?'' Cali self consciously mused and chided herself for watching it in presence of Rui. She could also watch those when he was not at home! But her foolish heart was headstrong on finding out the methods by which she could also please Rui with intimacy like what he did to her. She knew men had weaknesses also, and she did not know how to do it properly, so she watched some porn videos. Cali cursed her stupidity for being caught like that... Rui chuckled and pulled Cali into his embrace and kissed on her forehead. At that moment it dawned to him how na?ve, pure and innocent his fiance was, but probably he started to corrupt her na?ve mind by doing those intimate things with her. So now she became too curious about those things. He found Cali too adorable with her embarrassed look and could not help but tease her a little more. "Hmm, you don''t have to watch all those videos sweetheart, because I''m here in front of you and can teach you everything live. Your boyfriend is quite capable of giving you live demonstrations and teaching you everything in detail, okay. I will guide you well, little by little... You just need to have patience because I want us to take everything forward slowly. Eventually we will go to that point¡­ and beyond," Rui whispered in her ears with a grin. Cali gently pushed Rui a little away and with a crumpled face complained, "Why do you make it sound like I''m the one in a hurry to do everything. Didn''t I tell you that I just got curious on finding out ways to return the pleasure to you?" "It''s not like I''m in a rush to do it. Hmmmp!" Cali defended, raising her pride flag up. Rui had that sweet, brief chuckle while he pinched Cali''s nose. "Don''t get too curious about these things, sweetheart. Like what I''ve said, it''s better that you ask me about those things rather than watching those corrupting videos. It will teach you less but make you feel aroused more, don''t you know that?" Cali was already burning red of embarrassment so she complained, "Stop it Rui¡­ Let''s change the topic!" How could she dare to ask him those kinds of things? No way! But then her eyes gleamed with the sudden naughty thought that crossed her dirty mind. Perhaps later she would see how far her dear boyfriend could teach her since he insisted on it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

It would have been so embarrassing to walk in my wedding dress with a big bump on my stomach." Rizie mumbled with a grin. Dion looked at her and was smitten with her cuteness all over again. "Yes, it is a natural thing to happen, mothers start craving for foods that they had never eaten before." Dion got up from his chair and said while walking towards her. "I think we should tell your family also about this already." Dion suggested while he joined his comfortably sitting wife on the couch of his office. They had just finished eating late noon snacks, but Rizie suddenly started craving for french fries with a mixture of dip. "Here," Dion gave Rizie the dip for her french fries in which Dion mixed the ketchup with mayo. "Yup I think so too. Then let''s visit them and tell them this weekend in person. I want to visit Shane and Josh too and see how the two of them are doing, hopefully I made a good cupid somehow in pairing them." Rizie murmured. Her mother told her that Josh and Shane were doing good and spending a lot of time together. She just couldn''t wait to tease the two more. She pursed her lips when she noticed Dion was keenly staring at her with his glinted and sparkling eyes. He often did that ever since they found out about her pregnancy. Rizie flushed and asked, "Why? Stop staring. I feel shy." Dion chuckled, then raised his hand and caressed Rizie''s cheek. "Nothing just that I''m still in awe. Thanks Riz for making me the happiest man by marrying me, and now the happiest dad on earth. Everything just flowed so perfectly between us that sometimes I''m scared, what if it''s all only but a dream?" Dion stated with all his heart. Rizie gave him a sweet smile before wrinkling her nose and said, "You''re definitely not dreaming! You''ve been thanking me several times already. I too am grateful to you Di for making me the happiest woman and mother on earth. Geez, now stop being so melodramatic, you''re making me blush whenever you do that. You know how I cringe on dramas." Rizie even shivered exaggeratedly. Dion chuckled and pulled Rizie in for a tight hug. "If Yera''s baby lived before¡­" Rizie muttered with a pause, a glint of sadness crossed her eyes. She and Dion always remembered to pray for her bro Xander and sis Yera''s safety, hoping the two could finally have their peaceful lives. The ease with which their relationships smoothened out instead of getting complicated, had made them feel more close to each other, and Dion had always been doting on his elder sister even before she knew about his existence. "From now on no running, no coffees, no sodas, healthy foods and milk is a must. No exertion and¡­" Dion started reminding Rizie. "Hey stop! Stop! stop! don''t be so strict Di! Ever since you came to know about this baby, you have been very strict and are almost possessive about me!" Rizie complained as Dion continued to lecture her with the do''s and don''ts she should follow from now on. "Hmm. I think I should restrict you from making love with me too," Rizie countered with a smirk. Dion raised his eyebrow and quickly defended, "You know I am myself a doctor! And I know it''s not harmful to have sex in pregnancy, instead it calms down the anxious mind of the mother, especially when we do gently and with love." He explained it properly while embracing Rizie who was laughing loudly on how defensive he was about the matter. "Can you be more shameless, Mr. Doc?" They were enjoying each other''s company and their public display of affection was the first thing that Shan saw when she knocked and entered Dion''s cabin. "Oh sorry," Shan muttered and was about to leave when Rizie chuckled and said, "That''s okay Shan, just come in." "Shan put the documents at Dion''s table and quickly left the room. The couple looked so blissful because of the good news. She bit her lip and suddenly felt jealous. But then she quickly shook her head to dismiss the unpleasant thought of getting jealous. She and Ron still had a lot of time to spend together. They were following strict family planning until things were not settled on Boss Xander''s side, as they knew they both are the strong pillars for both Xander and Yera in their workplace. Ron felt so indebted to Xander that he said that it was the last thing he could do for his boss who saved his life so he asked Shan for her understanding on why Ron decided not to have a baby yet with her. Shan of course understood it well because having a baby was another responsibility that they must take in seriously. Her mobile phone rang, and she smiled seeing it was Ron. "I''m already at the parking lot." Ron informed and Shan immediately packed her things to leave. "Where do you want to have dinner tonight?" Ron asked as soon as they were inside the car. "Let''s just go home. I will cook dinner." Shan answered before giving Ron a kiss on his lips, it was quite intense compared to her usual peck on his lips whenever Ron would pick her up. "I love you," Ron suddenly heard Shan murmured. Ron immediately stepped on the pedal and drove the car. He felt Shan leaned on him while he drove. Shan was gently running her hand and fingers on his arm. She was being touchy and Ron just loved her touch on him. However, Shan''s such intimate closeness and gentle touches was kindling the desire and fire inside him that he suddenly stopped the car midway and parked in an isolated road. "What''s wrong?" Shan asked, thinking something was wrong with their car. Ron turned and murmured, "It''s hard ." "What?" Shan mumbled, laughing as Ron looked at his crotch and added, "there." "Alright, let''s do it as soon as we reach home." Shan said, still grinning. "Can we do it here? Promise I''ll be quick." Ron muttered. Shan pursed her lips and with narrowed eyes bargained, "Alright. But you will have to do the laundry for two months?" "Noted Ma''am!" Ron answered and quickly unbuckled his belt and opened his pants before adjusting his wife''s chair and moved on top of her. Shan was only kidding, but her husband seemed to take it seriously. Of course she would not let him do the laundry all by himself. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

She wore a below knee sleeping shirt with nothing else under it, except her panty. Her forehead creased when she saw Rui grabbed a pillow and was about to walk on his couch. "Why are you sleeping there? It''s not like I will eat you alive if you sleep with me on the same bed." Cali complained while she stomped towards the bed. Rui chuckled and looked at her in amusement and thought, ''But I''m afraid, I will¡­'' She was now on the bed, still glaring at him. "Come here." she called with a crumpled face. Rui hesitated as he looked on the couch, then back at Cali. He was worried about himself. Cali would not eat him alive, true, but... how about him? What if he ended up eating Cali alive? He was confident in controlling himself when it came to so many things, but now about being intimate with Cali, his confidence was fading away. "If you won''t sleep here on your bed then what''s the point of staying in front of your eyes when you will distance yourself like that? I will better return home tomorrow." Cali declared before lying down and moved her body sideways with her back on Rui. ''What a ''playing hard to get'' brute!'' Cali irritably mused before closing her eyes. But in the back of her head, she was planning to sleep with Rui on the couch, probably once he was asleep already. She suddenly smirked when she felt the bed shrunk. She closed her eyes, wondering if Rui would hug her or not. If Rui hugged her, he''s dead! Why? Because she would hug him back and end up doing a little more than that as payback for teasing her a while ago. "Don''t get mad." she heard Rui whisper on her back. His arm finally encircled on her waist. With twinkled eyes, Cali turned her body around to face Rui with a seductive smile. "I''m not mad as long as you''re going to sleep with me like this." she murmured with her face close to his. Rui could feel the enticing warmth of her breath. That was why he would rather love to sleep on the couch. The temptation he was feeling was really a struggle. Like now, he wanted to devour her lips, her body, everything¡­ But again, he should take things slow with Cali. He needed a lot of patience because he wanted to nurture their mental and emotional relationship for a strong foundation despite their big age gap before heading to the physical aspect. He was in his deep thoughts when he felt Cali''s soft lips on him. She was too innocent for him that even her kiss and the movements of her lips was so naive yet it was driving him mad. ''Oh God¡­'' he mused, asking for enough courage to fight his urges. She tasted so sweet with her tongue inside his mouth, meekly seeking for his reply. Cali moaned when she felt Rui''s hand on her leg moving upward, sliding inside her shirt. He moved so that he could have easy access to her breasts, Cali thought he would roll on top of her but he didn''t. He continued to kiss her while he touched her firm breasts with his big palm and squeezed it. She felt her body was burning hot again. She arched when his fingers pinched one of her nipples. She whimpered in pleasure and thought to touch Rui too on his groin and her hands slipped down from his waist and softly landed on the rock hard male beauty reeking with masculinity. Rui froze on her action and abruptly pulled from the kiss, then gulped, and stared at her. "What are you doing?" she heard him gasp. "This?" Cali asked while she again gently caressed the hard thing poking her from his boxer shorts. She grinned hearing Rui groaned and bit his lower lip. ''He likes it¡­'' she mused and continued to rub it with her hand. "Stop that." Rui hushed but instead of stopping, Cali rolled over him so she could be on top of Rui and be a little in control of the actions. "You said you will teach me so I want to learn it now." Cali murmured. "Huh?" Rui hummed, still breathless with Cali''s hand tugging his hard member. "Your dick¡­" Cali whispered that made Rui''s jaw drop. "Don''t call it a dick," Rui complained and Cali chuckled. She intentionally said that to tease him, though. She almost screamed when Rui rolled her over and pinned her down on the bed. "I will not teach you for calling it a dick," Rui keened with a creased forehead. ''He is so sexy.'' Cali mused at his sulky yet handsome face, and with a smile naughtily asked, "What shall I call it then? Penis?" "It''s a chopper¡­" Rui mumbled with a grin before lowering his head and sucked one of Cali''s nipples that was exposed since her shirt was raised upward. "I will teach you everything, but not now, okay," Rui whispered because he preferred showering Cali with more pleasure than corrupting her for his own pleasure. Hearing her moans turned him on, he himself was dripping wet just with a slight brushing and rubbing even on his own could give him an orgasm. His tongue simultaneously played with Cali''s nipples while his hand started to slide in her panty. She was too wet, and he was dying to make her scream once more. Cali bit her lip when she felt Rui removed her panty. ''Oh God¡­ Here he goes again,'' she silently screamed in anticipation. How come Rui would often make her squirm and not let her return the favor too soon? She arched her body as Rui nibbled her nipples and followed by his fingers on her most sensitive part. Rui slid his finger inside Cali''s slippery entrance and started moving in and out gently and gradually accelerated in speed while Cali hummed his name. He could feel her muscles inside constricting his finger. She was too tight. He sped up until Cali screamed and jolted, milking his finger with her juices. He then spread her legs and positioned his so-called chopper, brushing it on Cali''s wet flower, but he did not dare thrust. He did thrust while on top of Cali, but not inside her opening. The feeling of him touching her like that was so much different than the touch of his hands. She again whimpered in pleasure and moaned. He then moved while sliding his hard member between her wet lips and then he started thrusting a little, and soon Cali felt something wet spurting on her belly as he helplessly laid on top of her with his face on the crook of her neck, still gasping for air. "Rui¡­" Cali broke the silence after a few minutes and softly called him out. "Hmm¡­ did it hurt sweetheart?" Rui asked her. "Not much¡­ but a little¡­ probably because this was my first time¡­" "Hmmm¡­" he hummed. "Rui¡­ we didn''t use any protection" Cali timidly spoke, stuttering a little. "What?" Rui started coming back to senses when he heard her say those words. "Yes. Do you think I might get pregnant for the first time itself?" Rui heard Cali whispered. Rui tilted his head up and blinked at Cali several times in disbelief. She looked so serious with her question. She naively stared at Rui waiting for an answer. Rui could no longer help to suppress a long chuckle and then he rolled back on the bed and burst in a bout of laughter. Cali felt wronged and aggrieved and didn''t know the cause of his laughter. She pouted her lips and stared at him. "Sweetheart no. You won''t get pregnant because we did not make love yet. I just brushed my chopper on your outer parts only and have not penetrated inside yet, meaning I did not go inside you as yet. And for such non invasive actions we don''t need to use protection when we are the only partners of each other." "Why? Why did you not go inside but? You can go inside. I give you permission to go inside." he heard Cali murmuring that made him gulp, and it almost stopped his heart beating. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

"How is your married life going?" Rizie casually asked Shane while they were having a late afternoon tea outside. Shane''s face reddened hard. And just seeing that, Rizie could already tell that the two had consummated their marriage. Her twin was a man, after all. Oh, how she loved to tease Josh at that moment. Josh would surely just let her be because of her pregnancy. Rizie giggled and added, "I see you succeeded." Shane nodded and murmured, "I can go back to my home as soon as possible." Sheila, at that time, arrived with more snacks along with Josh and heard that. "What do you mean? So soon? Oh, that''s a good thing then. Hopefully, your family can accept the marriage. It''s better if you still receive the blessing of your family. Josh should go with you and pay his respect and visit them. We eventually can go if you want." Sheila excitedly commented because she also wanted to meet Shane''s family as well. "No!" Shane quickly answered. Hearing that, Josh''s jaw tightened. "Oh, I mean¡­ Let me first settle everything with my family mother¡­" Shane explained further. Sheila sighed and sat in front of Shane. "Yes, of course, but still you should bring with you Josh. Right Josh? You should accompany your wife and face her family together." Sheila suggested, looking straight at Josh who sat beside Shane. "Yes mom. I will go with Shane." Josh answered without a blink. Rizie''s heart beat suddenly raced. ''Wait! Is that safe for Josh?'' she wanted to ask, but their mother was still with them and that conversation must not be disclosed. Rizie had that conflicted look and shifted her glance to Josh, who became serious. "How is it being pregnant?" Shane asked to change the topic. Of course she wanted her family to meet Josh''s family, but not at this time. Maybe someday when the Yue clan was already reformed. "Hmm, I have the so-called morning sickness but mostly not in the morning but late afternoon. Hehe. Plus, like this¡­ I''m always hungry." Rizie said. Josh suddenly excused himself and got up to leave. Rizie too followed, saying she would go to the restroom but in reality she only wanted to pull Josh for a serious talk. "What are you doing?" Josh complained when Rizie pulled him at the living area. "Let''s talk." Rizie mumbled and pulled Josh to sit beside her on the couch. "Are you really going with Shane?" she asked. Josh nodded. "For real?" Rizie reconfirmed. Josh sighed and stared at Rizie. "I answered you already." "But did big bro approve? Isn''t it dangerous?" Rizie worriedly questioned. "Oh, my gosh, Josh! Are you saying you plan to be her husband for real?" Rizie with wide eyes asked. Josh did not respond and his silence meant YES. "Oh my gosh, don''t tell me you are falling in love with her?" Rizie burst, and Josh signaled her to stop, seeing Dion with grandpa Shen walking towards them. "What are you two doing here?" Grandpa Shen asked. Dion helped him in the barn. "Nothing grandpa, I just missed my twin¡­" Rizie answered with a smile and stood up to cozy up in her husband''s embrace. "Nothing grandpa but Rizie just pestered me about my marriage life. Such a nosy body. I only hope the baby won''t get that trait of hers," Josh countered with a twitched face as he also stood up to go upstairs to his room. Grandpa Shen gazed at Rizie and asked, "What''s with your twin?" Rizie shrugged her shoulders followed by a simple answer of, "Love sick?" Grandpa Shen shook his head before going up to check if grandma Terry was still napping. "What happened?" Dion asked Rizie when they were left alone. "Josh is falling hard. Do men tend to fall easily for women after intimacy? I mean physical intimacy?" Rizie asked her husband out of curiosity. "Hmm, why asking me? You should ask Josh. I fell hard for you before intimacy so I don''t think I can give you an answer about that love." Dion proudly answered and was satisfied seeing the blushing face of his wife. Rizie gently hit his chest and murmured, "You! Hmmp! Because of that, I will reward you for giving me a satisfyingly good answer." That instant Rizie pulled her husband for a deep kiss. Meanwhile, Josh was taking his time in his study area. He was analyzing his feelings for Shane. He was in a conflicted situation. He was aware that he had grown attached to Shane for some reason. He cared for her and that was a fact. He did not want to be away for her. If that was him falling in love, then he would continue to follow his heart regardless of where it led him. He would not let his wife go alone. Like what his mother suggested, as Shane''s husband, he should accompany her and meet her family. He got startled when he heard knocking on his door. "It''s me." he heard Shane''s voice. Josh quickly got up and opened the door. "About me leaving¡­ Let me take care of my family. You don''t need to go." Shane said with a half smile. Instead of answering, Josh pulled her into his embrace. "It''s final. I have my own mind so no one can decide for me. I said I will go wherever you are so stop saying things like that. It''s been a while since I last traveled too, so it will be a good out of the country vacation for me as well. No more discussions." he said with determination. "But.." Shane breathed. Josh gently pushed her and hushed, "No more buts. I can be useful for you with many things so don''t worry. Besides, I did train a little in the military so if you''re worried about my safety you shouldn''t. You have married a strong beast, you know." Shane could not help but comment with a grin, "Yeah you''re a strong beast, beast in bed and a very good mate in coupling." Josh''s eyes dropped and scolded, "Shane your words!" "What? It''s a compliment." Shane added with a laugh, seeing how red Josh had become. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Days passed by and Cali spent most of her time reading and cooking at Rui''s house. Rui would often bring her to his office to accompany each other. Even that morning, when they got up, Cali asked Rui to go with him and he readily agreed and brought her with him. He was going through some documents while Cali was busy reading a book sitting on the couch. Cali''s mobile phone rang and seeing the name on it she smiled and put her book aside and answered it. Cali was replying and Rui had all his ears on her conversation only. He immediately understood who had called but chose to remain silent. "Did you hear anything about Shane? Oh, okay. Nothing much. I''m in his office now. You mean lunch? Oh, alright. Yes, okay. See you." Cali energetically answered before hanging up the phone. She looked at Rui and was surprised that he was staring at her because he looked so busy and focussed on the documents he was holding a while ago. His eyes seemed to be questioning her so she casually said, "Oh, it''s Kane, asking me out for snacks. Aunt Jean said you will be out for a meeting shortly so it''s a good timing. I''ll see him for a while." Rui''s eyebrows collided. For some reason the name Kane really irritated him badly. He reluctantly nodded, but he wanted to shake his head in disagreement. ''When will that boy go back to his country?'' he mused, frowning. He was itching to bug Rizie to ask Shane to inform his brother she was already married and well but then he was not in the position to do so nor get tangled in the situation unless necessary or needed. Meanwhile, Cali was curious about a few things and had wanted to ask a few questions to Rui. That night when they almost did it, Rui said that ''we are the only partners of each other'', but when she stayed back for a night at his place, he said something else. She was really curious to find out about his relationships before her. Though it didn''t matter much to her if he had had relationships before her, loyalty was definitely important in any relationship, and she wanted to make a few things clear. Her thoughts flew back to their first night of cohabitation and her face reddened with all those memories. After that chopper incident, Rui only held her every night in a tight hug and let her snuggle in his arms comfortably. Waking up every morning entangled in his warmth was heavenly but she wanted to take things further with him now and he always insisted they should wait more for their relationship to grow before he would go all the way when it came to intimate moments. Cali gulped, realizing how eager she was than the man she was in a relationship with. She looked more perverted than him. Her naughty thoughts were cut off when Rui coughed and said, "You''re zoning out." "You can ask me anything except for the past women in my life." Rui replied with a grin. Women in a relationship were too curious about those kinds of things in their man''s life, so he was sure that was what Cali wanted to ask. Cali''s face twitched and with pouted lips gawked. "That was exactly what I wanted to ask you," she murmured. She almost forgot that her fiance was a psychologist, the best in his line, and quite a mind reader for that. Rui laughed and stood up from his chair to go and sit beside her on the couch. He wrapped his arms around her and asked, "How many women do you think I had had relationships with before? If you guessed it right, I will give you a reward." Rui encouraged, amused with Cali''s irritated expression. Cali sighed before saying. "I bet below ten women." She randomly guessed based on his age of thirty. "Wow, do you think I change girlfriends every year?" Rui burst in disbelief. "Five or below?" Cali said next. Rui creased his forehead and said, "You should only give me one number. If you''re wrong, you have to stay here with Jean instead of meeting Kane." "What? What''s my guessing correctly got to do with meeting with Kane?" Cali asked with snapped brows. Rui laughed and defended, "I''m just kidding. Of course go and have a great time." Then Rui looked at his wristwatch and said, "I have to go now. See you later. Behave okay?" He gave her a kiss on her forehead before leaving. Cali''s face couldn''t be painted because Rui escaped her question. Later she would definitely hold him and get the answer. ...¡­.. Yue Clan Mansion, At Country V "What is this?" Yun was raging mad while he read the summon for the trial he received from the Mirage Council. He did not expect something like this. He crumpled the paper and threw it to his men. A trial? Who dared file a complaint against him? He answered his own question in his mind, thinking Xander was in their country staying at the Quan clan territory. "I want everyone logging in and out on our territory, to get checked thoroughly! Someone in here is stabbing me on my back!" Yun shouted. It would not be easy for Xander to get to that trial if none from Yue Clan helped or assisted the man. There were only a few people who were powerful enough to assist Xander in this trial and help him out. "Put the entire household of Ester under house arrest. No one among her household should leave anywhere without permission from me! Find Raine now! Include all my entire household and the King''s other women all in house arrest!" Yun instructed with a clenched fist. Who dare stab him like this would die instantly, he thought in his head. "Sir will you attend the trial?" Dalgon asked. Yun hit his head and hissed, "Dimwit! Of course I have to attend that trial! They probably have valid evidence for that trial to get approved." Things were getting out of hands now. Why at this time when his brother was supposed to wake up soon he got entangled in all this mess? He would end up as dead meat if he didn''t clean this mess before he woke up. "Are you tailing Xander''s assistant?" Yun reminded him, and Dalgon nodded. "They have a lot of communications and transactions going on at their facility at country U. Mr. Long has all the information. He said he will report to you directly once he has gathered some useful data for us." Dalgon informed. "How about Xander''s wife?" he asked next. "We have already found out about her location, but the security there is too tight. She''s under Ken''s protection?" Dalgon explained and detailed the place. Yun let out a loud sadistic crazy laugh like a maniac. The Demon Don¡­ He heard of that man from the underworld. "Didn''t they have enough bloodbath in their family before that they still want to join another bloodbath for strangers?" Yun scorned. "I don''t care how you would do it but I want you to have Xander''s wife in your custody at my signal. I will see how the trial goes and if it happens to go against me, make sure Yera Han is in our hands with a snap of my fingers." Yun instructed with gritted teeth. As soon as Dalgon left, Yun called out for his butcher. "See to it that Dalgon is properly mobilizing resources according to all my instructions." he mumbled. He was disappointed at how slow Dalgon had become lately. He did not work like that before. Yun suspected something was wrong, so he could not dare entrust all the work in Dalgon''s hands only. "Will you dare to betray me, Dalgon?" he snarled with squinted eyes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

For a while, she felt she was back to her normal life, less of major surgeries but only a few minor ones. She would occasionally bump into Dr. Yao and grab snacks now and then. Candice seemed to be a nice woman sometimes. Maybe it was her nature to be tactless and candid so Yera did not mind whenever the latter pulled her in for some chit chat. "Why did you become a doctor Candice?" Yera asked her out of curiosity while they were outside in the garden of the center watching some patients roaming around and soaking in the sun rays. Candice chuckled crisply and said, "Hmm, because I want to save lives instead of killing? Or maybe because being a doctor gives me a better opportunity to kill legally?" Yera''s eyebrows collided, and Candice winked at her. "You can never get serious huh?" Yera commented because every time Candice spoke it felt like one should never take her seriously. Candice laughed out hard hearing Yera''s words and pulled out something from her pocket. "Here, this one is a trusted brand and has quite accurate results. You should check now if you''re pregnant, you know." Candice nonchalantly stated. Yera accepted it and asked, "Why does it look like you are more curious about my pregnancy than myself?" "Hmm, well I must know so I can be more gentle to you like not pulling your hair or something if we end up fighting. Besides, I noticed you are eating a lot of sweets lately. You should tone it down or just give them to me since I love sweets too. Too much sugar won''t be good for your baby." Dr. Yao answered. "You''re weird. Do you know that? You said you will not mess up with a pregnant woman. Do you mean you will still mess with Xander if he''s married but I am not pregnant?" Dr. Candice looked at Yera with a wicked smile and said, "Why not? It''s exciting. Isn''t it? So anyway, inform me if you''re pregnant so I might consider not messing up with you and Dr. CEO. Though I can care about you, I can''t still guarantee I''ll behave when it comes to Xander." Candice rose from her chair to leave but paused and bent a little to whisper at Yera, "You see I like Dr. CEO a lot, so much that I can''t keep my hands off him¡­" Yera''s face crumpled as she watched Candice''s back who quickly trotted back inside the centre. The woman had warned her already not to take her words seriously most of the time because it was her habit to irritate people, but still she was irritated. Her face was showing obvious frustration. She was in that ruffled state of mind when her mobile phone rang, and it was Xander on a video call. She forced a smile and muttered, "Nothing, just that I miss you already." Their video chat was only a quick one since Xander had to go for some urgent work. Yera left the hospital early too to do the pregnancy test at the mansion instead. She was really nervous and anxious. She immediately went inside her room and brought out the pregnancy test kit she got from Candice. "She''s faster than me," she thought because she was about to get one kit that day and turned out Dr. Yao already gave her one. She did the test and waited in the restroom. She bit her lips while she waited for the result. "Oh my God¡­" she gasped while she covered her mouth with her hands. Tears welled up in her eyes and gradually fell down her cheeks. She was indeed pregnant. There were two pink lines on the test kit indicating the test result as positive. How she wished Xander was right there in front of her to see all this happening with his eyes. She cried more because she missed Xander more at that moment. She tried to calm down her emotional heart and wiped her tears and went out of the restroom. She thought that she would not tell Xander about it yet, not until the confirmatory tests at the centre and the ultrasound are done and reports received. But she was so happy and yet a bit sad. Happy that they could finally have a baby but then it meant she could no longer follow Xander at country V for her baby''s safety. She missed Xander so much already, but then she did not want to lose their child again at any cost. She heard knocks on her door. "Yera dear, it''s me," mom Liz called. "Come in mom," She answered. Liz entered with a plate of a variety of chopped fruits. "I thought you''ll love to eat these," she said smiling and put it on the bedside table. "Did you cry? What happened Yera? Is everything alright?" Liz asked, noticing the reddening of Yera''s eyes. Yera nodded but followed with a bright smile as she said, "I did a pregnancy test mom Liz." "Oh my God, positive?" Liz asked totally in awe and screamed in bliss when Yera nodded. "I knew it! My hunch rarely ever goes wrong! Oh, your father will be so glad once he finds out about this. Oh, my, that old man was even sulking earlier because of this... Oh what a lucky old man," Liz could not help but burst in happiness. Yera chuckled and said, "Let''s not tell father yet, mom Liz. I want to confirm it at the laboratory tomorrow to make sure it''s not just a false positive." Yera requested, though her body and mood changes could already confirm her pregnancy. "Oh dear I can''t promise. You know I have this habit of talking a lot and my tongue is often slipping away some secrets... but I will try to hide it until tomorrow, sure I will try. Try only okay? Can''t promise" Liz murmured, still at cloud nine for being a grandmother for both Dion and Yera''s children at the same time. Liz left Yera in her room, still giddy with the news. She went back to the living area where James was watching the news on the television. "Did you ask why Yera came home early today?" James asked when Liz sat beside him. "She did an uhm just tired, I think." Liz answered with a fixed smile on her face. James noticed it since he turned to look at her. "What''s with your smile?" James asked, suddenly curious. "Congrats!" Liz really couldn''t help but blurted, followed by a tight hug on James. "Huh?" "You don''t need to sulk now about Xander not being able to give you a grandchild, because he will also very soon have a baby too. I was supposed to wait until Yera got it confirmed at the laboratory, but I couldn''t stop myself from telling you, so please don''t greet Yera yet, until she tells you herself." Liz knew she just spoiled the surprise but she just couldn''t let an hour pass by without saying it to James because she knew how James was dying to be a grandfather. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Zach asked Shane who learnt everything in just a few days. Well, Shane was not just an ordinary woman since she was well trained beforehand as one of the Shadow Beauties. She recognized Megan too, one of the terrorists they had captured, saying she trained with her and the rest of the other women from the Clan. Shane nodded at Zach. She was not sure if Zach already knew about Josh coming with her. She did not dare say about it as well. It would be better if Josh was the one to say it to his brother. "Alright, you have to book your flight in three day''s time. The trial will begin in five days. Yun had been summoned already. So I think it will be best for you to arrive beforehand." Zach informed and Shane nodded. That time, Josh arrived to pick up Shane. "Are you done guys?" Josh asked with a smile and when Zach nodded he looked at Shane and said, "Can you wait for me in the lobby? I''ll just talk to bro for a while." Shane simply nodded. Their marriage was already registered and now they had planned to go meet her parents, so Shane called Cali to inform her friend about the developments . "Oh, my gosh, you mean Josh?" she heard Cali almost scream. "As in Josh the bully?" Cali repeated several times over the phone that made Shane laugh out loud. "Yes! Goodness, how many times do I have to answer that question? Josh Lim okay¡­ I''m now officially Mrs. Shane LIM!" Shane responded, still chuckling. She could almost picture the terrifying look on her friend. "Oh, my gosh, I still can''t believe it! I mean, I never thought you would like a bully. Well, Josh is a nice guy though. Oh, I''m so happy for you. I''m just so shocked, but. Oh gosh, I can''t believe Josh will succeed in seducing you! I need to scold him for taking advantage of you!" Cali burst. Shane laughed again and said, "It''s not him, Cali. You should scold me because I was the one who seduced him. Anyway, I''ll stop there now and visit you before I go back home." "Wait, I''m not home. I mean, I¡­ am at Rui''s place. But Kane is at my house. He''s looking for you." Cali informed, a bit shy with the fact she was staying at Rui. Shane would tease her for sure. "What?" Shane beamed. She was shocked to find Cali was staying at Rui''s and terrified to find out Kane was there at Cali''s. She was sure Mr. Long sent Kane there to check for her. "Can you send me Kane''s number? I will call my father first, then Kane. Cali, it''s good you''re staying at Rui''s, stay there only and heed his advice, he would not take a wrong decision for you." Shane said before ending the call. She understood that Rui surely had mobilized security for Cali and had taken her at his place for security reasons only. Shane called her father next to inform him that she was going to come home with her husband. Well, the first words were her sarcasm since she was still mad at her father for making her a sacrificial lamb. But then she couldn''t refute the possibility that her father might be threatened with all her sibling''s lives by Mr. Long. How could she know when her father''s lips were sealed. "Alright, I understand. Shane¡­" her father answered, but paused. "Yes¡­" Shane muttered. "I''m proud of you. Always remember that. Everyone thinks you are weak, but I never saw you as a weakling. You are the strongest daughter I could have." Shane heard her father say and that instant she hung up the telephone. She couldn''t help and tears started flowing from her eyes. She was in that state when Josh found her in the lobby. Josh almost ran at her and asked, "What''s wrong? Did something happen?" Josh asked, seeing Shane was crying relentlessly. It was the first time he had seen Shane in that emotional state and he felt his heart was breaking into pieces. He immediately pulled Shane for a tight hug and gently patted her back. "Shhh¡­ Everything will be alright," Josh whispered to comfort her though he did not know the reason why Shane was crying. "I''m here, Shane. I will always be here by your side. Please always remember that. You''re no longer alone in every problem and fight¡­ Because you have me¡­You will always have me with you." Josh whispered that made Shane cry more. From a distance, Zach and his brother-in-law helplessly looked at Josh. "See that bro? Do you think Josh will listen to us? Even if we put ourselves in his shoes, we both know that we will take the same decision as Josh. Who would let his wife go back alone there to suffer? I always felt that Josh did not marry Shane just for pity, and it''s so clear right now. He cares for Shane and I must say he had grown to love Shane already¡­ So maybe it''s best we let him do what he wants. Josh is no longer a child that needs our protection, bro," Zach heard Torin stated. Zach exhaled loudly. Josh informed them a while ago that he would go with Shane to country V. He clearly stated that he was not asking for their permission but merely informing them he would accompany Shane in any circumstance. "I guess no one can stop him now? Then we have to brief him on what Shane is about to do during her stay there, so he will not end up doing anything that could jeopardize the mission." "Prepare him well from tomorrow. I want him to have a quick recap of his training before they leave. He''s been lazing around for years by putting his focus only on the business. He might have forgotten things he learnt in the military. Give him a hard schedule, like being in the worst-case scenario he could experience while staying at Yue Clan." Zach defensively instructed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Kane was not home yet? Alright nanny Shine. I will check on him." Cali worriedly said on the other line before ending the call. "Where the hell are you Kane?" Cali whimpered as she continuously dialed Kane''s number but it only kept on ringing. She was getting restless like nanny Shine who called informing her that Kane did not return yet since he left after lunch and it was already at nine in the evening. "Try calling him now and then or leave a message. I''m sure he''s fine," Rui commented, trying to calm Cali. The two of them were watching a movie in Rui''s mini theatre when nanny Shine called. Cali sprang from her seat and looked at Rui. "I think something is wrong," she muttered because Kane never missed her call or even her messages until now. "I''ll look for him," Cali added. Rui nodded and said, "Alright, I will go with you. I''ll go get the car keys." ... They first went to the hotel where Kane had checked in before, but Kane was not there. "What if something happens to him?" Cali started to tremble with unpleasant thoughts that could happen at Kane like being robbed, then hurt. She couldn''t decide if she would inform Shane about it already too. Meanwhile, Rui took the initiative to call Ron and find Kane''s whereabouts using Xander''s security team. He asked them to check the CCTV footage and every hospital just in case Kane met an accident. Soon Rui''s mobile phone rang. "They found him. Let''s go," Rui mumbled and grabbed Cali''s hand. He drove at Yang Globals hospital where Kane was rushed in the late afternoon. He was severely beaten up according to the report. Cali cried hard seeing Kane with bruises all over his face and body. He was still unconscious. She couldn''t picture Kane in that situation. "Oh my God Kane..." Cali burst and grabbed Kane''s hand. She was shaking while she heard the doctor talk to Rui about Kane''s condition. Someone found him on the side of the road, almost crawling for help... "Fortunately, there''s no internal bleeding, but he had a major operation on his leg that had severe damage with bone fracture. It will take him a while to be able to walk normally." Cali heard and her heart shrunk. ''Why would something like that happen to Kane? Who would do something like this to her dear Kane?'' Cali helplessly mused. Right now Kane was still unconscious because of the anaesthesia, but the doctor said he would wake up soon. "Who would do something like this to you?" Cali unconsciously voiced out her thoughts. She continuously cried, still holding Kane''s hand to her cheek. Rui witnessed that scene. He too felt sorry for Kane and he was sure it was Mr. Long who did this. He quickly called and relayed the matter to Zach and everyone concerned so they could do something. He walked towards Cali and gently patted and squeezed her shoulder. Rui could not help though but feel a very alarming emotion deep in his heart while he watched Cali, holding Kane''s hand like that. Crying hard for Kane like that. It was very disturbing for him, but he tried to brush off the thought and understand the situation. He understood well that Cali particularly grew up with Kane and in their household for years. He sat on the couch and watched Cali cry beside Kane''s bed and lovingly caressed his cheek and hands now and then. He could no longer take the scene so he chose to quietly go out of the room. Outside, he leaned on the wall and heaved a long-frustrated sigh before closing his eyes. He was disappointed in himself on how childish his thinking had become. He was getting jealous over a boy who had been in the brick of death. He felt something sharp slicing his heart seeing Cali''s eyes towards Kane. For the first time in his life, Rui felt scared. He opened his eyes and bit his lip before deciding to go to his clinic instead. ..... At Lim''s Villa It was Josh who received the information about Shane''s brother from his brother Zach. He was still in his study room going through some documents to wrap up and to endorse to his assistant and officers since he would be gone for quite a long time when his brother Zach called him. As soon as the call ended, he rose up from his chair to go to Shane. He saw her on the bed while watching some tv series. "Are you done?" she asked when she saw him approaching. She had a wide smile on her face. Josh nodded. Oh, how he did not want those smiles to fade away, but it was Shane''s right to know what happened to her brother. Josh exhaled loudly and crawled on the bed and sat beside Shane. He held her hand and looked at her lovingly. "What''s wrong? What''s with your look?" Shane asked with a grin. "What''s with my look?" Josh asked. "The look that you want to tell me something but you don''t want to tell me?" Shane responded. "Shane bro, Zach called. It''s about your brother Kane¡­" Josh started but paused. Shane''s heart suddenly palpitated, and she crouched. "Shane are you alright?" Josh worriedly asked, seeing Shane''s hand on her heart. He saw Shane close her eyes and breathe in and out slowly. Then she opened his eyes and asked Josh directly, "Is he alive?" Josh nodded and Shane exhaled loudly. ''Oh God¡­ Thank you God.'' Shane mused as tears fell down her cheek. "Where is he?" she asked next and Josh told her what Zach relayed. Shane clenched her fist and with gritted teeth hissed, "It''s Mr. Long! I will make him pay for this evil bastard!" She could no longer wait. She must fly back as soon as possible and execute her part to bring those evil monsters down. They all must pay for all wrongdoing they committed. Josh could feel the great anger in Shane''s aura. She was too furious, ready to kill with those flaming eyes. He pulled her to his embrace. "Please calm down Shane. Bro said Kane will be back in his normal shape in time. Yang Global hospital is the best hospital in the country so they will surely take care of Kane. Cali is there too, taking care of him. We will go there as early as tomorrow." Josh comforted. His heart ached for Shane''s situation and he would do anything in his power or whatever it was that he could to help Shane out with every possible way. He could now understand why Shane chose to rather die than marry a monster like Mr. Long. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

"Where is he?" she whispered, wondering where Rui went. She grabbed her mobile phone and called him. "Where are you?" Cali asked. "Uhm I just checked something in my clinic. Do you want anything like I bring you some snacks or coffee?" Rui offered. "Yes¡­ I want you¡­ Wait there I''ll go come to you." Cali murmured, suddenly feeling guilty that she ignored Rui the moment she arrived at the hospital and saw Kane in that state. "That''s okay, Cali. Kane needs you now. It''s just that I feel uncomfortable staying there long." Rui honestly responded. He wanted to stay with Cali and comfort her, but he was not comfortable staying inside there with Kane. Kane was badly beaten up. It was visible to his face. You could barely recognize the boy''s handsome features because of his swollen face. Cali was quiet on the other line and said, "Stay there, I will come to you shortly¡­ Kane is now awake." Because of Cali''s excitement, she forgot to press the end call button. "Oh, thank God Kane¡­ You got me worried¡­" Rui heard Cali''s voice followed by her sobbing. "Do you love me that you worry that much? This is nothing¡­ Come here and give me a hug if you''re really worried," Kane jested with a stuttering, broken voice. "Stop that! How can you even joke like that! You almost kill me! I thought, I will lose you!" Cali scolded. "Stop crying Cali¡­ You''re making me feel weak when you cry. You know I only love to see you smile." Kane mumbled. "If you want to see me smile, then make sure you get better soon!" Cali lamented. Kane was still bubbly despite what happened to assure her that he was fine and for her not to worry. And yet Cali could not help but pity him who was like a brother to her. "Take care of me Cali if you want me to recover soon. You need to live with me in this room so I can get better¡­" Rui could no longer take it and ended the call himself. He couldn''t bear to hear any more words. It irritated him while he convinced himself to understand the situation Kane and Cale were in now. "Since when did I become this possessive?" He chided, scolding himself for being irrational. How come he was scolding his own self a lot since Kane showed up. He was in his childish thoughts when he fell asleep on his couch. ¡­ Cali on the other hand quickly prepared to leave as soon as nanny Shine arrived inside Kane''s room, who was already resting. "I''ll go to Rui nanny Shine. Please take care of Kane in case he wakes up again," Cali endorsed and headed towards Rui''s clinic. She knew his password, so she directly entered Rui''s clinic. She saw Rui on his big couch sleeping and she sat beside him. She crawled on top of Rui and gave him a gentle kiss. It had been days since Rui last kissed her lips. Instead, he often kissed her forehead before they went to sleep or before he would leave for work. She felt like she was a kid whenever he did that. She actually complained, but Rui only answered her with a chuckle and a teasing grin. She missed his lips. She gently sucked his upper and lower lips simultaneously, wetting it with her own tongue. His lips were so supple and full that she loved nibbling it. She heard Rui moan, and she took that opportunity to invade inside his mouth when it cracked. "You''re here?" Rui asked and answered Cali''s kiss. "I''m not here. It''s just a dream," Cali jested, pulling out from the kiss, but Rui grabbed her nape and pulled her back. "I''m not waking up yet¡­ Continue," Rui whispered with a naughty smile before claiming Cali''s lips. Cali answered in the same yearning. Rui''s lips on hers really felt good that she could kiss him nonstop. Cali''s wild imagination got activated. She was feeling hot inside all over her body, but this time she wanted to give Rui pleasure in her own ways, not waiting for him to teach her because Rui kept on delaying it. She must apply what she read and watched. She lowered her kissing on his jawline down to his neck, giving him hickeys for the first time. Rui moaned but quickly opened his eyes when he felt Cali pulling up his shirt. He abruptly raised his body and looked at Cali who unconsciously bit her lower lip. That sight was a turn on at Rui. "Taking off your shirt, what else?" Cali whispered and quickly made a move without waiting for Rui''s reaction. She succeeded. Rui opened his mouth and before he could utter any word Cali shut him up with her lips while her hands started to caress Rui''s bare chest. Her fingers played with his protruded nipples as well. She basically copied the things she experienced from Rui herself. Her kiss lowered and reached his nipples. She was encouraged by Rui''s sweet growling. She was obviously doing it right after seeing Rui''s reaction. His pupils were dilated, burning with desire. She gave Rui her sexiest smile before her hands went down and touched his groin. Rui was losing his control already. Since when Cali learned to move this fast that she did not give him the opportunity to stop her. Before he knew it, she already undid his lower clothes. She was playfully holding his chopper like it was some kind of toy, giving amusement to her innocent face. "It''s long¡­" he heard Cali whisper while she kept on tugging and rubbing it as if she was taking his measurements. "Wow¡­ I wonder how it will fit on mine if it''s this big and hard," he heard again another funny word that made Rui gulped. ''Is her innocent fiance complimenting him or what?'' he mused in agony while a sweet groan escaped his mouth. "Sweetheart, why are you playing with it? You shouldn''t play with it like that. It could be deadly." Rui hushed with his hoarse and stammering voice. "I''m not playing with it. I want to taste it too, like you did in mine. I''m sure it''s not that deadly," Cali naively whispered before Rui felt her wet tongue touch the tip of his chopper. "Oh, fu*k!" He rarely swears but the sensation that engulfed his body at that point was too much. He was totally bewildered as he watched Cali do things on his chopper that made him moan and called her lovely name now and then. She was slow but her innocent face and soft hands with her cute mouth doing him like that was too much pleasure to bear. He was sure Cali would curse him if he ended up releasing inside her mouth. But to his horror, Cali swallowed everything as soon as he jerked off. "Why did you eat it?" he asked in disbelief. "Why not? It''s just like medicine I think, a bit awful but it''s good for my body since it comes from you." Cali plainly answered. Rui pulled Cali that instant and kissed her lips, not minding the taste of himself in her mouth. Cali was his and would stay his forever. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

"Stop that¡­" Kane complained. "Instead of looking at me with full of pity, why don''t you introduce me to the man beside you." Kane added, trying to smile but cringed since his face was still swollen. "I will kill that Long," Shane murmured with gritted teeth. Kane shrugged his shoulders and said, "Kill him inside your head, Shane. Don''t do anything stupid. I''m still alive. He''s just pissed off that you have gone against him and even married some other man. He wants to punish you but since he can''t touch you I guess I become the punching bag." "Stop treating it as a joke, Kane! He had almost killed you!" Shane exclaimed. All her nerves were exploding because of outrage. "Bro, congrats. I''m Kane, Shane''s brother. It looks like she has no intention to introduce us both, so I''ll do the honor myself. Too bad I can''t shake hands yet, so we''ll have to skip that formality." Kane mumbled and Josh nodded with a smile. "I''m Josh. Don''t worry Kane me and my brother will settle everything properly. We will make sure everyone who played a part in doing this to you will pay at any cost." Josh retorted, he too was infuriated with what happened to Shane''s brother. Kane was a bit surprised and gave her sister a meaningful and questionable look. "Yes, he''s aware. His brother is in the military and they are going to help me out." Shane confidently murmured. Kane was in a safe zone now since it was Xander''s territory and Kane''s room was completely debugged and well guarded with tight security too. "I will go back home with Josh. I will take care of our father and the rest of our brothers so you don''t have to worry. Just make sure you get well soon. They will make sure you will get back in shape soon, Kane. So behave while you are here and Cali¡­ Don''t bother Cali." Shane reminded Kane, and Kane was about to twitch his face but winced in pain again. Shane was aware that Kane had a special feeling for Cali so she added, "She''s engaged now and she''s deeply in love with doctor Rui." But then Shane cursed because she forgot she was with Josh, who also had that special feeling for Cali. She turned and looked at Josh with an awkward smile before defensively said, "My brother likes Cali." Josh simply nodded at her. Shane wondered with his normal reaction though, if Josh still liked Cali¡­ "Oh Shane!!!" Cali burst when she went inside the room and saw Shane. She ran and immediately hugged her friend. Then she looked at Josh with narrowed eyes and threatened, "You bully man! If my sister has any single complaint about you not treating her well¡­ I will pester you all your life!" Rui laughed from Cali''s back and said, "Sweetheart, that''s not threatening enough." He then looked at Shane and greeted the latter. Shane smiled and introduced Josh as her husband. ''So he''s the one who Xander said likes Cali too.'' Rui mused. He was amused seeing two love rivals in a small space. Meanwhile, Shane gulped, seeing the men inside in one room. All those men happened to like Cali, but she was hoping Josh could not be counted at this time. Josh said he liked her, yet she did not know if that liking of him towards her weighed more than his liking for Cali. Cali talked to Josh like she always used to, a man who was a bully. She was totally not aware that Josh liked her. "Let''s have lunch together," Cali suggested, but Kane complained, "How about me? I thought all of you are here to see and visit me!" Shane laughed and said, "Do you want us to eat here instead? Can''t you see that we''re couples here? We will be right back as soon as we finish lunch." Shane bet Kane would not want to be with her husband too if he found out that Josh liked Cali before. .... At Plumeria Island James and Liz prepared a simple surprise celebration for Yera''s arrival from the medical center. They called Regan, and he relayed that Yera''s result was positive. "Oh my, until now my heart feels like it''s on cloud nine." James commented. "Aren''t we two the luckiest persons in the world? Having grandchildren at this early age. Oh, it excites me just thinking about cute little babies of Dion and Xander." Liz could not help express her enthusiasm. They both were enthusiastic, like kids blowing balloons. They had asked the head chef to cook various dishes as well. It was like a mini baby shower. When Yera went home she was surprised to see the beautifully decorated place and was really shocked to see the surprise by her in-laws. "Congratulations!" greeted her father-in-law who hugged her tightly and Yera felt the warmth of the familial love that made her eyes wet. "How did you know?" Yera asked in a little choked voice and Liz laughed and answered, "We asked Regan to relay to us the result of your laboratory tests." Yera chuckled while sobbing a little. She felt very happy to have parents with her. This was something she had never seen in her life. She had her grandfather all her life. After marrying Xander she got a father''s love, but it was today that she knew what a complete family felt like. She could not thank God enough for sending mom Liz and making her a part of the family. "Let''s have an early dinner. Are you going to call Xander now?" Liz and Yera shook her head. "I want to surprise him mom Liz in person so can we keep this from him as of now? I want to tell him when he comes here on your wedding day. That''s almost a week from now." Yera bashfully responded and Liz nodded in understanding. "Oh, that would be a good surprise for sure." James commented with an ear to ear smile. Liz laughed and said, "Be prepared to be nagged a lot by your father, who wants you to stop working in the hospital and wants you to stay in here instead¡­" Yera smiled and said, "I''m also thinking the same mom Liz and I will talk to bro Ryu first about it so that I can hand over things I observe in the facility in this short period of time to him." Yera had decided to take extra care from now on of herself. Her own needs and wishes would not be her priority anymore, but her body''s safety since her pregnancy was confirmed. She did not want to lose her baby the second time around. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

I still can''t believe Josh the bullyman is now her husband?" Cali mumbled while having dinner with Rui in a restaurant near the hospital. "Hmm, it''s not impossible so maybe they were meant to be together?" Rui commented. "Until what time are you staying?" Rui asked her because he wanted to leave early since he himself was too tired with the pile of work he was handling. He was feeling mentally exhausted, something that he never thought could happen with him and could one day be more tiring than physical labor for him. However, he doubted it now. "Hmm, Kane asked me to stay with him tonight. Is that okay with you?" Cali asked with a smile. Rui almost choked on his food. ''Why you?! You''re not his nanny!'' he wanted to voice out but his lips remained sealed. "Sleeping there will be uncomfortable Cali. I think it''s not a good idea." Rui commented before gulping his glass of water in one go. Cali bit her lip and thought of it then said, "The couch in his room is quite big and I will actually fit there well." "Cali! Why would you sleep on the couch!" Rui exclaimed, and Cali was a bit startled on how he seemed to be yelling at her. "But haven''t I slept on your couch too before? The only difference is I slept there with you. So sleeping alone will be even more comfortable." Cali reasoned in a low voice. She stared at Rui, wondering why he looked annoyed. "I''m sorry. I''m probably tired. I will leave as soon as you''re done eating," Rui whispered, seeing the confused look on Cali. He should take into consideration that Kane was like a brother to Cali already and Kane had no family in here except for Cali. Shane could not stay as explained by Josh because she was finalizing some details with the military before leaving. Naturally, it was Cali who should be there with Kane. But¡­ he could be comfortable if he only knew Kane had a brotherly feeling for Cali but he had feelings more like a lover than of a brother for his fiance. After dinner, he was now walking to head towards the parking area when he paused and abruptly turned around. He ran towards Cali''s direction who was headed back to Kane''s room. He was about to walk her there but Cali insisted for him not to and went to his car directly since he looked too tired. He was panting when he saw Cali, only meters away from Kane''s room. Rui ran and immediately grabbed Cali''s wrist to stop her. "Rui?" Cali was startled seeing Rui out of breaths. "Oh, yeah¡­ Wait¡­" Rui stuttered, calming his breath for a while. "What''s wrong?" Cali asked, a bit worried seeing how Rui rushed to her like that. "How about this¡­ I will go with you to check on Kane every once in a while and let''s both sleep in my clinic." Rui suggested. "No¡­ I need to go early too tomorrow so it''s better to sleep here. I will ask Jean to bring us clothes." Rui insisted. Rui could see the hesitation on Cali''s face so he whispered and added, "I won''t be able to sleep alone at home. It feels empty now without you." Cali''s face turned rose pink hearing those words that her lips quickly answered, "Okay." Meanwhile, if only Kane''s face was normal, Cali could visibly see how sour his face became seeing Cali returning with Rui. "Aren''t you going home, Dr. Dee?" Kane mumbled. "No. Me and Cali will sleep in my clinic and keep checking on you every once in a while." Rui nonchalantly chimed in. "Why? Are you uncomfortable letting her sleep with me?" Kane directly asked, shooting his sharp blade on Rui''s direction. "No. But I''m uncomfortable sleeping without Cali by my side." Rui answered with a straight face that made Cali inwardly squealed with too much giddiness. Kane''s face twisted seeing that while Rui comfortably sat on the couch. Kane''s dinner arrived soon and Cali was about to arrange it and feed Shane when Rui stood up and grabbed the spoon and fork from Cali''s hands. "Go sit on the couch and rest. I will assist Kane," Rui instructed with a blank face and Cali followed. "Hey, where are you going? Come here Cali, your fiance might poison me!" Kan cried. "Grow up, Kane! Cali is my woman now and I''m quite a possessive man. I don''t want my woman feeding any other man!" Rui pointed out in a calm manner as much as he could. "But I''m not any other man!" Kane exclaimed. Cali gulped and interrupted, "Stop that Kane and just eat your food¡­" Kane helplessly shrugged his shoulders as he watched Cali sit comfortably on the couch and watch the news. ''How could that woman be so insensitive towards me!'' he silently grunted. The pain in his heart was much worse than his actual physical body pain. Rui seemed to read Kane''s thought while he scooped a spoon of rice and whispered, "Life goes on and you should move on. The pain will soon fade away." "Ahhh." Rui said next, signaling Kane to open his mouth. "Do you want me to choke to death with that large amount of rice, Dr. Dee?" Kane loudly complained, getting Cali''s attention. "Oh, alright then just a small one," Rui mumbled with raised eyebrows. "Here¡­ Be a good boy and eat. Tomorrow I will get you a beautiful private nurse Kane so you won''t be able to disturb Cali like this." Rui teased with a grin. "What?!" Kane annoyingly burst. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR https://ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at WEBNOVEL app \u0026 site only.

Yera left working in the hospital and kept herself in a relaxed position. She spent most of her time eating, reading, watching dramas or playing with her in-laws, while waiting for the wedding ceremony of her in-laws. The day where she could see and be with her husband for a short period of time, a few stolen hours away from everyone, just for each other. She found it difficult to wait for that day and while she rested, her entire consciousness was swept away to Xander only. "Baby¡­ I''m sure your daddy will be surprised when I tell him, right? Or maybe he won''t be since he''s already sure of your presence and is already expecting you. But I''m sure he will be too happy once mommy tells him about you. You have to stay strong and make sure to clamp yourself well, if mom misbehaves again and gets stressed, you hold on tightly to mommy''s w.o.m.b, hmm¡­" Yera murmured while she gently caressed her tummy and thought about how her stress had resulted in her miscarriage last time. She knew it was still early and a little childish to talk with the baby like this, since their baby was just a small bud, but yet she had a habit of talking to their baby often like this. "I miss your daddy so much but we have to keep relaxed and wait for him to complete what he had gone for and come back safe and sound for us." Yera tried to comfort herself despite the longing for her husband. Never had she thought in her entire life that with her such cold heart she would be with someone and grow such deep feelings like she had for Xander now. She never knew she would love anyone like this in her life and a single day without that person would feel like a punishment to her. She really missed him¡­ every minute of the hour, every hour of the day and every day of the week... Yera could not even wait for the wedding date of her in-laws and be with her husband. She was not content with the long distance relationship they were having these days¡­ but... She was lost in her thoughts when her mobile phone rang and saw it was Regan calling her. "Madam, someone wants to visit you there. Dr. Yao from the medical center. Should I allow her to enter? We have thoroughly checked her already, and she''s clean." Regan reported. They were very strict though Dr. Yao was part of their employees, she was still new and they could not let anyone just enter the premises of the mansion. "Hmm, alright you can let her enter. I will wait for her in the garden. Has someone escorted her there." Yera answered and went out of her room to see her unexpected visitor. "I''m surprised by this visit?" Yera casually smiled at Dr. Yao who was already sitting on one of the chairs in the garden. "I just missed you so I stopped by after my duty hours." Dr. Yao plainly murmured. "What?" She burst followed by a grin seeing the awkward and doubtful expression of Yera. "I just wanted to see how big you have become already. But there is yet no change to my dismay¡­ sigh!! I actually brought some sweets for you, so you''ll grow bigger sooner. The bigger and ugly shape you can be, the better for me in my mission. Much easier to seduce your man, right?" Dr. Yao teased. Yera''s face crumpled. "Why do you always talk sh*t with me?" Yera could not help but chide. "Hmm, I guess it''s true women do become moody when pregnant. Look at how irritated you are right now." Dr. Yao teased her a little more, enjoying Yera''s wrinkled face. "It''s positive, right?" Dr. Yao reconfirmed and Yera nodded. "Congratulations then. I guess I can go easy on you from now on. I hate hurting pregnant women," Dr. Yao murmured with a grin. Dr. Yao sarcastically looked around then commented, "I guess your life is in danger too. The security is very tight, so I have to leave my mobile phone before coming in. Maybe next time I will visit you wearing just a bikini so it will be a little less hassle for those boys to check on my things." Yera only shrugged her shoulders. "The mansion is quite big and beautiful. It''s my first time here. Oh, how I would love to tour around and get some selfies but my mobile phone is with those men." Dr. Yao commented. "Sorry but touring is not allowed. It''s not our mansion and bro Ryu wants it to keep extremely private, so I''m also meeting you here outside in the garden," Yera explained and Dr. Yao nodded in understanding. The two had some more funny conversations and Yera never thought that Dr. Yao could be someone she would be comfortable with, though she was still tactless. She said what was in her mind most of the time. Before leaving, Dr. Yao asked Yera where the restroom was. "Hmm, let me escort you there," Yera volunteered. "No, I got it. The first hallway from the right. Stay here and finish those snacks you''re eating." Dr. Yao insisted, so Yera nodded. ..... Back at Yang Globals Hospital Rui looked on his couch while Cali was brushing her teeth in his restroom. He heaved a long sigh as he contemplated whether or not to sleep on the couch with Cali. Unlike his bed in his house that was too big, the couch in his clinic was very small, where there would not be enough space for him and Cali. Limited space was not a good idea for them as of now. "I think sleeping here is not a good idea." Rui muttered. Cali who went out from the restroom heard it. Now he could understand the good of having a private room like Xander. The latter offered it to him to make a private room in his clinic but he refused saying he preferred to stay in his home and besides he was always out to travel so it was not necessary. ''Xander really knows to enjoy life¡­ huh!'' "Huh? Why? I told you to go home, didn''t I?" Cali mumbled with pouty lips. Rui turned around and smiled at her. He sat on the couch and signaled Cali to sit beside him. "You see¡­ Getting near you in a small space makes me feel¡­ Hmm¡­ Excited and raunchy." Rui muttered followed by a long sigh. Cali''s face blushed, and she gasped when she felt Rui''s face snuggled on her neck. No, he was not there to snuggle but to suck her neck like a vampire. She suppressed herself to giggle but she couldn''t so she ended up laughing. "It tickles." she breathed. "Where? Here?" Rui playfully asked and sucked the other part of her neck. He did not dare kiss her lips, afraid that he would go further, so he satisfied himself by sinking his lips and teeth on Cali''s neck and pulled her on the couch in his embrace. After quite some time, Rui fell asleep since he was really tired. Cali silently and carefully rose from the couch and watched Rui in his peaceful sleep. She smiled, feeling wonderful on how her relationship was progressing with Rui. She could tell that she was gently but surely squeezing in inside Rui''s heart. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Skip. You can always skip if you feel uncomfortable...] At Lim''s Villa Shan had been sighing for several times already while waiting for Josh in their bedroom. She was on the bed already waiting for him while the latter talked to his family to hand over important things about the resort before leaving for their flight tomorrow morning. She had this unexplainable feeling about Josh''s decision in going with her to her home country. She had tried a few times to convince Josh not to accompany her, but he consistently insisted on going along with her. She came out of her thoughts when she heard the clicking of the door and saw Josh entering the room. She thought of talking to him once more and asking him to think again before making a decision. "Are you sure you''re confident about going with me?" Shane asked him for the last time as soon as he was inside their bedroom. Josh frowned at her and said tempestuously, "How many times do you plan to ask me that? I have already arranged everything. Don''t you think I''m not yet confident about my decisions enough for you to stop asking me that, Shane?" Shane bit her lips in hesitation. She wanted Josh to go with her, but she was contemplating a lot on the whole idea. She did not want Josh to feel responsible for her for the sake of marriage done to save her. Neither did she did not want any of them to get too attached with each other because they had married for an absurd reason and just to save her life. She knew Josh had married her out of pity, and she married Josh out of desperation, though she had started developing a little feeling for him lately, but that couldn''t be termed as love. Nothing good aligned at all in both directions. She was in her own zone that she did not notice when Josh crawled on the bed and climbed on top of her, pressing her down with squinted eyes. "What are you doing?" Shane yawped. Josh gave her a mischievous grin and crooned, "Disturbing my wife who seems to be in some deep unnecessary thoughts about stopping me from going on a trip with her." Josh''s face was only an inch apart from hers. His eyes looked down on her parted lips. "You still don''t see how beneficial my coming would be, don''t you? You need me to i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e you remember? I think I need to stretch your bud a little more so once the doctor there sees it, she can confirm¡­" "Stop that! Watch your words!" Shane burst in horror and Josh only grinned at her. "It''s your fault I have become as blunt as you. You influence me too much¡­" Josh muttered, lingering his lips towards hers. Shane was like a forbidden drug to him¡­ the more he thought he shouldn''t, the more addicted he was to her every day¡­ But he was addicted to her presence in his life now¡­ Being intimate with her, making love with her and teasing her sensitive body whenever he could, have become a necessary ritual in his everyday routine and he felt incomplete if she would be away from him for too long, talk about letting her go back to her parent''s house alone. He felt he was falling for her, but he was unsure yet. He did not want to voice things out to her unless he was extremely confident about his own feelings. Shane quivered with Josh''s feverish kiss followed by his aggressive hands making her n.a.k.e.d under him. She did the same and removed his shirt in a fast, swift motion. She caressed his curves and upper body lines. Josh growled in ecstasy when her hands moved further south and rubbed his length. He was hard and his length could not wait to penetrate his wife''s tight opening. He helped Shane in removing his pajama while he kept his complete attention on her lips. Shane rolled over on top of him with her bare chest. She still had her pajamas on, but her rounded bosoms were an ice candy in Josh''s eyes. His eyes were blazing with evident desire and his hands followed his mind''s commands and he unconsciously cupped those b.r.e.a.s.ts with his palms. Josh raised his body to sit and bent a little forward so he could feed on Shane''s erect n.i.p.p.l.es. Shane closed her eyes when she felt Josh''s tongue licking on her n.i.p.p.l.es alternately before sucking each, directly sending electric currents in her whole body. She was throbbing with heat inside her. She stood up to remove her lower clothes. She was about to sit on Josh''s lap, but Josh stopped her by kissing and licking on her inner thighs. She gasped and grabbed Josh''s hair for support when the latter raised her one leg over his shoulder. He was licking her in her most sensitive part and Shane felt her body would fall anytime soon because of her weakening knees. She shuddered intensely as Josh''s tongue invaded her opening, thrusting as deep as he could. She kept humming his name and would unconsciously curse now and then because of the overwhelming sensation deep within her. Soon her muscles clenched inside as her body convulsed, milking Josh''s mouth. She was still trembling when Josh pulled her down on his lap to thrust his throbbing length inside of her. He did a one sweep deep hard thrust inside and Shane wrapped her arms tightly to hug Josh, m.o.a.ning loudly and calling his name, while he moved his h.i.p.s, piercing her opening in and out with his length. Tears welled up in Shane''s eyes. She had mixed emotions, including the pleasure her body was receiving with Josh''s deep thrust in her cave. She met his rhythm, dancing with each thrust he was making, with the same intensity until she could feel him deep inside her, filling her alley completely with him. A few more fast thrusts inside, Josh had a release, spurting it all, letting his seeds bury deep inside Shane''s fertile cave. Josh gently pushed her and kissed her lips. He was still inside her and Shane could feel him gently moving again. He was still hard. Shane moved a bit backward, with her hands on Josh''s legs. She surged on top of him and rode him. She bit her lips as Josh sucked and fed on her n.i.p.p.l.es simultaneously as she moved on him, satisfying each other with their body''s hunger. Soon both reached another climax as they both erupted their juices on each other. Both were panting after the rigorous activity as Josh pulled her into a tight embrace. Shane was silently crying with his loving gestures, but she quickly wiped her tears and controlled her emotions from bawling out. ''I think I''m falling in love with you,'' Shane wanted to voice out but held herself from doing so. Her feelings for Josh were growing deeper and deeper as days passed by. He was so good to her and it was not hard to fall for him. She could feel how he wanted to protect her and be responsible for her, and she was very grateful for each effort he made for her. She wanted to stay in his embrace like that. And in that moment, she decided not to let him go unless Josh wanted to leave her side. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Alright. Thank you. Yes, I will inform him." Chad answered from his mobile phone. "Shane and Josh have also arrived. She would soon be summoned to the Yue''s headquarters and then she would install bugs there and would pass us important information. She is also gifted with computers and is a good hacker, so she would try to hack Yue''s database and send us any important details that would be relevant for us." Chad added. The dates for the trial had been set and they wished that they could gather everything and enough facts by that time to counter Yun''s all counter replies. He was helping Lana and Xander to double check every single detail because not a single detail must be missed out. "You will be flying back to country D tonight right? I will also go with you. I heard that island is an enjoyable place. Let me stay a few hours relaxing while you attend the wedding," Lana bluntly stated. "You should go too!" Lana invited Chad that made him laugh. "You sound like you own the island. Inviting yourself and now inviting me." Chad commented. Xander shook his head and said, "You two are becoming more clingy to me with each passing day. Alright, let''s all go. Besides, it''s an important event because my parents are getting married and of course I''ll get to see my life, my wife after a long time. I doubt if you two can enjoy the place in that short span of hours though?" "That''s okay. Me and Chad are used to it. It''s just like going on a quick mission with a nice view. Oh, I need some fresh air!" Lana blurted while she stretched her arms. It''s still early. But her back was already aching while reviewing certain rules and regulations on Mirage Law. She looked at Chad with sympathy. Chad seemed to have noticed that and asked, "What?" "Nothing. I suddenly thought how heavily burdened your future can be once you win the presidency. Taking care of the whole country and this secret triad thing together is nothing easy for sure." Lana commented and Xander nodded in agreement. "I feel like Chad will grow old alone," Xander bantered with a grin. Then added, "You surely won''t have a love life with so much of work to eat your time" "You''re not updated, Doc. You''ll see soon¡­" Lana hung on her words with a calculative chuckle. "What''s that? You sound like you know something is coming..." Chad asked in suspicion. She heard from Keira that Mara was in serious training to follow Chad soon here. She should not spoil the fun, so Lana shook her head and kept her mouth shut. "You two, pack your stuff and be ready in time, we will leave this evening if you want to go with me, don''t be late." Xander reminded before grabbing some doc.u.ments. "Wait, isn''t the wedding tomorrow?" Lana reconfirmed. Chad grinned and answered, "He is going to give a surprise to his wife of course. We will be back too as soon as the wedding is finished, that''s why he wanted to travel as early as he could." "Are you Xander? Why are you answering when I''m asking him?" Lana mumbled with a twisted mouth. Xander grinned at the two. One thing he was grateful for was being with these two that was helping out in lightening the mood, though they were all in great anxiety for the tight war they would soon face. .... At Plumeria Island Liz and Yera were reading books on the veranda when Yera asked, "Are you nervous mom Liz?" Liz chuckled and responded, "No¡­ I''m so excited. I never thought that at this age I will still experience how to get married." Yera closed her books and grabbed mom Liz''s hands. "You deserve it mom Liz and I''m really grateful that you came into father''s life. I hope the best for the two of you and I''m sure you''ll be the most glamorous bride tomorrow." Liz winked at Yera then touched Yera''s cheek and gently caressed it. "Thanks dear. Dion and Rizie will arrive anytime soon. I''m sure that brat will tease me nonstop for getting married first than him." Yera laughed because it was Xander who wanted father and mom Liz to marry before the trial began on the Mirage. "Senior must lead the way and go first, so they should give way!" Yera burst, which sounded more like a tease that made Liz blushed and laughed as well. "This is yummy," commented mom Liz as she tried one slice of blueberry cake. It was one of the sweets Dr. Yao brought last night. "Dr. Yao brought that last night¡­" Yera murmured. She shook her head and grin recalling how Dr. Yao emphasized that she brought it so she could gain more weight. "Oh, the one who got lost last night." Liz casually commented. "Lost?" Yera asked with knitted brows. "Yeah, I saw her upstairs. She said she''s looking for the restroom." Liz replied and made another bite on her slice. Yera creased her forehead recalling Dr. Yao did take a long time in returning back to the garden. She said she got stomach upset but did not mention that she got lost. And why was she upstairs when she gave her the directions for the restroom at the first floor only. She was trying to figure it out when her father-in-law arrived. "My two beautiful ladies, do you mind if this old man joins you in reading? I''m having wedding jitters¡­" he jested with a crinkled nose. Liz pouted her lips. James laughed and added, "I can''t believe that tomorrow Liz will finally chain me. I''m sure she will bury the key in the deepest part of the ocean for me not to escape her chain!" "James! Stop that!" Liz scolded with a blushing face. Yera laughed, watching her in-laws bantering about the wedding tomorrow. If her husband was here, for sure, both of them would both turn red in embarrassment by the non-stop teasing by him. She giggled, so giddy at the thought of seeing her husband tomorrow. ''Baby, are you ready to surprise your dad?" Yera inwardly murmured as she gently caressed her still small tummy. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"Yera!" Rizie burst out and was about to run towards Yera, who was sitting in the garden but was held back by her husband. "No running Rizie!" Dion scolded. If he was not there Rizie would definitely run wildly unknowingly. He rolled his eyes because he had to remind Rizie for the do''s and don''ts every now and then. Rizie grinned and whispered, "Sorry." Then she slowly walked towards Yera. Yera laughed seeing how comedic and slow Rizie walked after being reprimanded. "I have a very protective guardian, you see," Rizie muttered when she finally reached Yera. They hugged each other like there was no tomorrow. Soon Liz and James arrived, and Rizie hugged the two of them as well. "Congratulations¡­" Dion greeted his mother and his soon father to be. "I should congratulate you as well for the incoming angel in our family," Senior Yang commented. They all sat down on the chairs in the garden while a helper served them snacks. "Well, two angels¡­" Liz commented with a grin. Rizie and Dion looked at each other, confused. They thought mom Liz was saying they would have twins since it ran in Rizie''s family blood. "Mom, there''s only one sac visible in Rizie''s ultrasound." Dion commented with knitted brows. Yera had a bashful smile while Senior Sy proudly declared, "Our Yera is also pregnant." "What?!" Rizie and Dion burst in chorus. Rizie held Yera''s hands and with a joyous smile said, "Oh God! I''m so happy to know this sis. God is so kind! We are both pregnant almost at the same time!!! Oh gosh, I''m too excited!" Dion too was smiling ear to ear hearing the great news and suddenly butted in, "What if sis, you''re the one carrying twins or triplets. You never know. Did you get the ultrasound done?" Yera shook her head. She just had a blood test as confirmatory and wanted to go for an ultrasound with Xander... Dion''s imagination was too much, he gave her an unbelievable smirk. She couldn''t imagine herself having three babies inside. "Didn''t you notice you''re getting bigger?" Dion added, looking at her stomach. Yera wanted to hit Dion''s head and her face crumpled hearing his words. Rizie laughed and defended, "Don''t mind him sis, it''s only natural for us pregnant women to grow in size. It''s better to gain weight than losing weight during pregnancy, we''re not the only one feeding now. We have a baby growing inside us. Isn''t that cool? Hehe." "I''m sure bro Xander must be jumping out of joy right now¡­" Rizie added. "No, I did not tell him yet. I want to surprise him tomorrow as soon as he arrives." Yera responded with a timid smile. "Oh, right, that would be better. Anyway, let''s change the topic." Rizie muttered before her head turned to give a teasing grin to the couple getting married tomorrow. "Mom and Dad you both were already enjoying the honeymoon here¡­ right? But I want to know, who among you was more eager to get married and planned the marriage in such a hurry, even before the wedding of Dion and me." Dion shook his head and smiled on the naughty teasing of his wife as well. "What?" Liz naively beamed. "It''s Xander''s fault, not ours. We could always delay our wedding anytime and let the two of you have the wedding ceremony first," Liz defended. Yera laughed, seeing her father''s face reddened of embarrassment. Such talks by the children always made Elder Yang blush profusely, and Yera burst out in laughter. The family was enjoying a good conversation and a lively atmosphere with the presence of Rizie and Dion, and Yera could not help but feel incomplete without Xander around. ''Baby, let''s wait a bit more. Tomorrow, we will get to see your handsome and bubbly daddy. I''m sure he will talk to you non-stop once he finds out you''re in my stomach." Yera silently whispered to her baby. ... At Yue Clan, Country V Josh and Shane were picked up by Shane''s older brother Jun at the airport. He looked very¡­ Josh couldn''t find the right words to describe his expressions. Stern? Because he talked less and never smiled at all as Shane introduced them both at the airport. Shane noticed that Josh seemed restless, so she whispered, "Don''t worry. That''s his normal. He''s the silent type, but most loving of all. Maybe because he''s our eldest, so he grew up to be a serious man who spent most of his time assisting my father in business. So don''t misunderstand like they don''t like you or something. I''m sure he''s happy.." "You know that I can hear you Shane," interrupted Shane''s brother while he opened up the door to the backseat for them. Shane giggled and said, "You missed me, right? How come you''re not hugging me? You do know that I''m still mad at you, is that why you''re not hugging your only sister?" Jun sighed and murmured, "You get inside now together with your husband." Shane crumpled her face and followed her brother. Josh was only quiet and observing his wife pester her brother while they were on their way to the Yue Clan territory. Before they could go inside the premises of the territory, Josh and Shane underwent tight scanning including their things. Shane showed their marriage certificate, and they had to wait further because the security was validating its authenticity. Shane also went further, checking at their community doctor to see the validity of marriage consummation. "Nervous?" Josh heard Shane''s brother asked, maybe because he kept on sighing while waiting for Shane. Jun gave him a candy. He was startled but accepted and ate it. "Thank you for taking care of our little sister." Jun whispered, followed by a long sigh. "All of us protected her so much ever since she was a baby, our precious baby sister, but we all proved to be useless when she finally needed that protection the most. We are glad Shane found someone like you¡­ Please¡­ Take care of her," Josh could hear the stuttering in Jun''s voice. "Don''t worry. Shane is my responsibility now and I will stay with her forever no matter what it takes. I will protect her and make her happy." Josh firmly stated. "Thank you¡­" Jun repeated several times so Josh had to stop him. He could feel how depressed and weary Jun was, probably because they were unable to do something about Shane''s arranged marriage with Mr. Long. "Your sister is a brave woman and I am indeed a lucky man to marry her." Josh mumbled with a grin and Jun only heaved a sigh hearing that. Yes, Josh was a lucky man indeed having Shane but being connected to their clan like that, he doubted he was lucky unless a reformation happened. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Skip, if you''re uncomfortable.] It was almost midnight when Xander arrived at Plumeria Island. No one was aware of his arrival at that time of night except for Regan and Ryu. After landing, he went directly to Yera''s room and gently opened the door. He walked to the bed where his wife was peacefully sleeping. He squatted near her and stared at her charming and glowing, lovely face for a while, making sure not to make a sound. He smiled while looking at his wife who was in deep sleep and looked more beautiful than he left her. He wanted to cuddle her instantly, but he stood up and first went into the bathroom to have a quick shower and changed into his nightwear. "Look at her sleeping like a baby¡­" he whispered as he gently joined his wife on their bed. Yera was in deep sleep when she felt a hand tightly embracing her and then a row of gentle kisses on her face. She was awakened and could immediately tell it was Xander with his touch and the unique fragrance that came from her husband''s body, such a familiar scent. "Xander," she sluggishly murmured. Yera instantly opened her eyes and turned her face towards him and blinked several times while staring at her husband''s handsome, smiling face. "Missed me darling?" She heard Xander roguishly uttered with his endearing grin while his hand lovingly caressed her cheeks. Yera abruptly sat up and cupped Xander''s face in her palms. "You''re here. I thought¡­" Yera murmured but was cut off by Xander''s lips sealing hers. Yera''s heart was leaping with glee, feeling the warmth of her husband, so close to her. She circled her arms on his neck and answered his kiss with intense passion. She couldn''t help her tears from falling. She was sobbing while kissing him, so Xander released her lips and gently pushed her to see her face. "Darling? Why are you sobbing? What''s wrong? See, I am already here with you, and I came a little early to be able to spend more time with you. Please don''t cry." Xander pleaded, and he suddenly got worried. He wiped Yera''s tears that were continuously flowing like a dam had been broken. Yera tried to suppress her emotions, but it was so difficult for her to control herself. Maybe because she was pregnant, that was why she was being too dramatic in his presence. She knew that pregnant women tend to behave too emotionally and irrationally at times. "Nothing''s wrong. I''m too overwhelmed and happy¡­ Tears of extreme joy, I think. I missed you so much, darling. I love you." Yera sniveled and then she showered Xander''s face with kisses. Xander too was on cloud nine with the remarkable warmth from his adorable wife that he wanted to sweep her in his arms all throughout his stay if possible. The couple stayed like that, smooching for too long, satisfying their hunger for each other. Both were panting when Xander let Yera''s lips go. Then he gently caressed Yera''s cheeks and muttered, "Darling, I missed you too much, your kisses, your touches and your smell." he whispered while sniffing her on her neck. His hands trailed down on Yera''s neck then to her collarbone, removing the straps of her loose nightgown, letting it drop. Yera bit her lower lip while she did not leave her husband''s flaring eyes with desire. He was sensually touching every pore of her skin, making her shiver all over with marvellous sensations that only her husband could make her feel. "Did you miss my touch like this?" Xander whispered while his fingers ran through her chest. Yera nodded and gasped when her husband caressed her mounds. She moved her hand to lift Xander''s shirt up and feel his muscular chest too. Like him, she ran her fingers to his body, touching his every part on his upper body. She then slid her hands on his boxers, but Xander stopped her and gently pushed her to lie down on the bed. He removed the rest of his clothes himself, and Yera rose up to hug him tightly. Xander chuckled and murmured, "I love it so much darling¡­ Your clinginess to me every time I am with you." Yera released him and tilted her head to give him a kiss "I love you," Xander hummed between the kisses and gently lay Yera on the bed while he continued to satisfy himself by plunging his tongue in her mouth. It felt like forever being away with her. He traced her every curve with his hands, caressing every sensitive spot of hers, making her groan and whimper in pleasure. His mouth followed every place he touched on her body. "You''re so beautiful, darling," Xander whispered in his every kiss. Yera m.o.a.ned whenever Xander would slightly bite down on her skin, nipping and kissing, making her squirm. She could feel herself getting wet in arousal with every kiss and touch. Xander took his time in arousing his wife, seeing the great pleasure in her m.o.a.ns. He cupped one of her mounds, gently squeezing while he sucked on the other. Then he moved downwards, kissing her belly button playfully, making Yera bent in half before he went further south. Yera''s body tingled in response as her husband showered her inner thighs with kisses and licking before he went to her flower. She was panting as Xander''s tongue licking her folds made her go insane. "Darling, you taste so sweet¡­" She heard Xander hummed. Yera hastily grabbed his hair as her body trembled. Xander''s tongue played on her clit, making a circular motion before sucking it. Her walls tightened, feeling his tongue inside her walls, making her shiver in pleasure and trembled in orgasm. Yera m.o.a.ned. Still shaking, she rose and leaned forward to kiss Xander on his lips while she wrapped her hand on his erect shaft and stroked it gently. She squeezed his shaft while she kissed him downwards, to his chest and bent more to reach the tip of her c.o.c.k. Xander groaned when he felt his wife''s tongue teased his c.o.c.k with her tongue. He was dripping wet already. "Oh, darling," he growled when his c.o.c.k gently and swiftly slid inside his wife''s mouth. He bit his lip¡­ he would soon reach his climax, and he did not want to waste her s.p.e.r.ms so he gently pulled his wife and guided her to sit on his lap. "Darling, I will reach my peak soon¡­ My seeds are too precious to release in your mouth," he said in a jest that made Yera released a meaningful and seductive smile. As Yera mounted on him, Xander slid his shaft slowly into her warm wet opening. Yera m.o.a.ned with pleasure as her husband slid in deeper and deeper. She sat up straight and began to ride her husband at first, then a little faster. Xander gently massaged her mounds and her n.i.p.p.l.es simultaneously as Yera continued to gyrate on top of him. He moved his hands to her h.i.p.s and rocked Yera back and forth as she continued to ride him faster. Both were m.o.a.ning louder with every movement. Yera''s body began to tremble as she built up for her second orgasm. She let out a m.o.a.ning scream in pleasure as her body wildly jolted in orgasm, collapsing in Xander''s embrace who continued to rock Yera faster for his climax and soon he exploded all his precious seeds inside his wife. They stayed frozen in their position for long and both hugged each other tightly while Xander''s shaft was still inside Yera. "Darling, this is our lucky day. You know why?" Xander murmured in his hoarse stuttering voice. "Why?" Yera asked, still panting. "It''s your ovulation day so I will keep you awake till morning." Xander enthusiastically cheered. Yera laughed and answered, "Yes darling. We''re indeed so lucky¡­" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Xander also told her about the preparations they were doing for the trial. To be with each other was like a boon granted to both of them. Yera felt so complete and so secure in his arms that when she could finally sleep by Xander, she slept with a sweet smile on her face. Yera woke up with a beautiful smile on her face. Just how delightful could it be opening her eyes and seeing that enchanting grin on her husband''s face staring at her, she had no idea for how long he was staring at her like that. "Good morning darling¡­" Xander greeted her with a wink, his head propped up on his one elbow on the bed while facing her. His other arm was wrapped around Yera''s waist. "Morning. What time is it? The sun is shining so brightly," she commented. "Yeah, the sun is bright but not as bright as how my gorgeous wife is shining. If not because of the wedding ceremony, I would definitely lock you up in this room, but darling we have to get up now and get ready for the celebrations." Xander commented with a mischievous grin before giving Yera a sounding kiss on her lips. Yera consciously blushed, hearing her husband''s flowery words in person after so many days. She pinched his cheeks before getting up from the bed and walked towards the restroom, n.a.k.e.d. Xander gasped at the inviting site in front of him and his gaze followed her till she reached the bathroom. She could feel the scorching eyes of her husband pasting on her back, so after opening the door, she turned to look at him. Yera smiled, seeing her husband sitting with his mouth agape. She raised her arm and gave him a gesture of a finger saying ''come here'' and seductively m.o.a.ned, "I''ll give you a good quick bath darling." Xander gulped before jumping out of his bed instantly and excitedly ran inside the bathroom to follow his alluring wife and heed the wonderful invitation. The couple did not waste any minute to get touchy and to unite with each other intimately before the wedding ceremony. "Finally! You let sis go!" Rizie burst as Xander and Yera entered the dressing room of their mom Liz. Everyone found out that Xander had arrived earlier than expected this morning when Xander greeted them at breakfast while Yera was still sleeping. Yera''s cheeks turned crimson red when they became the topic of teasing that''s why she said to Xander, "Go to father now or else they won''t stop teasing us." Xander nodded and bid his farewell to everyone inside. Rizie and Yera assisted mom Liz with her accessories while Dion admiringly watched how his mother was glowing. He was very grateful seeing his mother finally together with a great man by her side. Yera and Rizie kissed mom Liz and left her with Dion after making sure she was ready so the mother and son could have some time alone before the wedding ceremony at Plumeria''s function hall. Dion walked towards his mother and on bended knees grabbed her mother''s hand and kissed it. He had tears in his eyes ever since he saw her in the wedding dress. At that moment his tears flowed out incessantly and he cried like a small boy. "What''s this, son. Oh God, don''t you dare make me cry because you will ruin my makeup." Liz jested while she controlled her tears. Dion chuckled and looked up to look at his mother. "You look so beautiful mom. Father James is a lucky man to have the best companion in this lifetime and Xander too for having another mother in you. But I am the most blessed among them all for having you the moment I came out in this world mom¡­" Dion stuttered as his tears continuously fell in his eyes while he kissed his mother''s hand. Liz could no longer suppress the tears and let them out. "I am the most blessed too son, because God gave you to me. You''re the most precious thing that happened in my life¡­" Liz lovingly said as she pulled her son up for a tight hug. "Son¡­ Stop making me cry and call back Rizie here please to fix my makeup that you just messed up. Geez¡­ You brat." Liz scolded with a grin while she patted his son''s back. "You don''t need any makeup mom because I can see how beautiful you are in the father''s eyes. No efforts needed." Dion jested combined with a tease, making his mother turn crimson red. Soon the ceremony started. "Relax dad. No need to get nervous. It''s your second time already doing this. Act like a pro...," Xander whispered to his father in a jest who kept moving left and right as if swaying while he waited for Liz to walk towards him. James timidly grinned at his son. "Ladies and gentlemen¡­ Let''s all please welcome our bride," announced the host and everyone admired Liz''s glamorous beauty in light makeup with a simple and yet elegant ivory lace A-line with an off shoulder neckline and long sleeved gown. The bridal instrument resounded the hall as Liz walked with his son in the center aisle towards Jame. She was smiling sweetly at James without breaking eye contact. James was smiling too as tears filled his eyes. He immediately wiped his eyes with his hands and Xander noticed it. He expected it, so he grabbed the handkerchief he put in his pocket and handed it to his father. "She looks so beautiful son," James whispered followed by an abrupt inhale and exhale. "Yes, dad and that beautiful woman is now yours. Can I expect a baby sister soon?" Xander jested again to lighten the mood. He was not used to his father crying. James let out a low key chuckle and scolded, "You brat! Stop teasing me." Dion handed his mother to Senior Yang''s hand as they reached them. "Please take good care of my mom, father James." Dion respectfully requested and James hugged Dion tightly. "I will, son. I will..." James whispered and grabbed Liz''s hand''s facing the marriage officiant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Everyone enjoyed the wedding celebration held at the indoor private restaurant of the island near the beach and Ryu''s mansion. The Ken''s food catering on the island served a five course lunch with a wide variety of dishes to the guests and the newlyweds. Rui was again given the responsibility to host the program during lunch, but this time he was not alone. "See the result of teasing a single man at parties such as weddings? I had to get a partner with me¡­" Rui mumbled as an opening remark, hanging his words in the last to give an ambiguous feeling. Everyone looked at Cali, whom he had brought with him to attend the wedding. She blushed and waved her hands in denial, as a signal that Rui was not talking about her. Rui laughed, seeing all eyes at Cali and added, "I am talking about a partner at hosting! Why are you guys looking at my lovely fiance! I''m talking about Xander, who is going to join me here to host the party while we all enjoy our lunch!" Laughter resounded in the venue hall and Xander joined Rui at the center to entertain their few selected guests in the celebration. "When do you plan to tell him?" Rizie asked Yera while they ate some desserts at one table. Yera smiled and answered, "After the party, I will ask him to accompany me to the hospital because of an upset stomach." "The heck your brain sis, you wanna make him worry like hell before blasting off the explosive news to him. You''re trying to kill bro?" Rizie mumbled in a joke. Yera laughed and nodded, followed by a wink. She wanted Xander to accompany her in her first ultrasound for viewing and confirming their baby''s placenta and amniotic sac. It would be epic to see his expressions while the doctor performed a transv.a.g.i.n.a.l ultrasound on her. The party ended on a merry note, and everyone enjoyed the party thoroughly. Yera met the persons who were closely helping out her husband for the first time. Lana, the lawyer who was assisting her husband draft the entire case and Chad from the Quan Clan who was handling Xander''s safety while he was at country V. "Thank you so much for helping my husband. Please feel free to tour around the island and enjoy your stay. Bro Ryu has made the arrangements for you guys and you can contact Regan in case you need any assistance." Yera expressed her gratitude, hoping the two could enjoy their short stay on the island with her brother Ryu''s permission. "Alright guys just enjoy and make yourself feel at home. The Kens are one of my wife''s family so don''t you two dare make any mess in here¡­" Xander added teasing that made Lana crumple her face. "Like we can mess around on such a big island knowing no one except you." Lana grunted with pouty lips. "We will go separate ways. Lana can''t wait to dip herself in the beach while I would love to stroll around the place. It gives me a familiar feeling staying on an island as well for years." "Oh yeah right, you used to babysit Mara there in Keira''s private island, the n.a.k.e.d goddess!" Xander burst. Lana laughed, seeing how Chad reddened. "Anyway, I will leave now with my wife since we will have to leave soon. Enjoy, and I''ll just call later now." Xander muttered while pulling his wife''s hand. They also left first from the function hall and congratulated their parents once more. "Awww," Yera suddenly winced inside the car. "What''s wrong?" Xander worriedly asked. "I think I have an upset stomach. Let''s stop by at the medical center. I''ll just get some medicines for me." Yera suggested and Xander nodded, instructing their security to go to the medical center first. "I saw you eating a lot, darling. I think that''s indigestion not an upset stomach," Xander teased, followed by a cheeky laugh seeing Yera pouted her lips. He noticed her eating more than her normal appetite so it was probably indigestion, also seeing her not chewing food properly. The car stopped at the clinic and Yera had a quick check-up as well at the ER. The ER doctor suggested an ultrasound, so they did. Inside the ultrasound room, Xander knitted his brows when he saw the doctor in the radiology room was preparing for a TVS when Yera was complaining for stomach pain. His heartbeat started palpitating fast when he looked at his wife who winked at him and a playful meaningful grin. "Darling¡­ Am I right or am I thinking really right now?" he whispered while he held Yera who was already sitting on the bed. Yera chuckled and replied, "Hmm, we will see. What are you thinking, darling? Maybe our doctor here can confirm it to us." The doctor smiled and shook her head. She was aware of Yera''s coming and her intention to surprise her husband about her pregnancy. "Mrs. Yang, please lie down so all of us can confirm whatever it is that we are all thinking," the doctor joined the guessing rhyme of the husband and wife with a wide smile. She started with her work and inserted the instrument to conduct the ultrasound at Yera Xander could understand only a bit looking at the screen, but since he was not an expert at reading those machines, he was still clueless about what he was seeing on the screen. "Oh, wow, Mrs. Yang¡­ I can see more than one amniotic sac." The doctor started and congratulated the couple while she showed and pointed out the sacs on the screen. Xander''s eyes welled up and tears flowed out like water from flood gates from his eyes as he mumbled, "Oh God, I love you, darling. Thank you, darling. You made me the happiest father today" Then he looked at the doctor and said, "Doc, please give me a colored printed copy of my babies'' pics¡­" Yera laughed while Xander showered her face and hands with kisses, not minding the doctor who was still doing the ultrasound on Yera. "That''s why, now all the more reasons for you to have to make sure you are safe in your fight and come back to us in one piece and healthy my darling," Yera muttered with a choked voice and wet eyes in between his kisses. "Yes, darling. You and our babies should wait here for my return¡­" Xander lovingly said. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Lana excitedly prepared her things and changed into her swim wear and top it with a comfortable loose sleeveless and backless dress as soon as they went back to the mansion where she stayed in a room away from the others. Then she quickly ran to the beachfront for a dip. "Ohhhh! This felt so good!" Lana gasped while she dipped half of her body in the water. The clear blue crystal waters were just too good. She needed refreshing moments like this to clear her thoughts and mind. After quite some time of enjoying the waters, Lana decided to get out of the water and sit on the beach chair to watch the sunset. She zipped her sleeveless dress back on her body and looked at the ocean before deciding to walk back in the water for a bit more enjoyment. She grinned while she watched her legs and feet under the water. She could see the sand and fishes because of the clear waters. "Wow, so nice!" she chanted in wonder and did not notice the man watching her keenly just two meters away from her. "Seems like you''re enjoying yourself very much in here¡­" Lana heard a familiar voice that made her curse, thinking she was hallucinating. "Aren''t you cold?" she heard the voice once more and she could feel goosebumps all over her body while she slowly raised her head to see if her hunch was right. "What are you doing here?!" Lana hissed in horror, seeing Liam sternly looking at her with arched brows. "I think I should be the one asking that. This is a private property of my cousin Ryu Ken¡­ Or are you perhaps related to Deyna? I mean Yera?" Liam asked as he stepped towards Lana. "Stop right there!" Lana hissed with her hand raised, signaling Liam to stop. "Why should I? Last time I checked, I had all the rights to come close since we''re still married." Liam remarked with a mischievous grin. She was obviously still mad at him. He missed those blazing eyes of his wife like she was ready to bite him to death. "We have an agreement! Don''t you dare take another step!" Lana threatened. "Hmm, did we sign that agreement, little tigress?" He scoffed with an evil grin, seeing his proud wife panicking as he moved closer to her, now only an inch away from her face. ''Scaring me huh?'' Lana mused with a raised brow followed by a devious, sly smirk. She would never lose to this man! "Shall I then fulfill your wildest fantasy about me, pervert?" Lana scowled as she unzipped her dress. "What are you doing?" Liam muttered in disbelief. "You started this. Isn''t this exactly what you wanted? I never lose a fight..." Lana challenged. Liam silently cursed because he too never lost a fight! **************** Author''s note: Okay, so let me have this cameo ''a sneak peak'' chapter for Lana and Liam.

He sighed and could not help recall the time he spent in Keira''s wonderful island similar to this with Mara. Another heave of frustration, and a long sigh came out from his chest before he turned and looked at his window when his eyes caught a particular figure and a familiar face. "Mara¡­" he whispered and turned at the windshield at the back seat as they passed the woman walking on the side road with an ice cream cone in her hand. "Stop the car!" Chad instructed and as soon as the car stopped he jumped out of it. "Mara¡­" he called the woman out who stopped walking and looked at the sunset view and the beach from afar. She did not even look back at him, so Chad called once more, "Mara." She finally noticed him and turned around with a beautiful smile on her face. "Hi," the woman cheerfully greeted. Chap stood frozen near her. She looked exactly like Mara, but her aura was very different. She was not Mara, she could not be Mara. She was wearing a laboratory gown, so he assumed she was a doctor. "You called me with a different name. I guess you mistakenly thought I was her but realized I''m not," the woman whispered with eyes still fixed on the nice view of the sunset. "Are you a doctor working on this island? What''s your name?" Chad asked in curiosity. The woman gave him a glance over before a seductive smile appeared on her face. "I''m Dr. Candice Yao, studly man." she muttered followed by a wink then licked her ice cream cone. Chad gulped. Mara would not dare do something like that. It''s a very cunning and sly way of behaving. Then he heard her chuckle before returning her gaze to the sun. "Hmm, can I ask you a question, studly man?" he heard the woman speak while she continued eating her ice cream and stared at the sun. "What if we live in a very chaotic world where there are wars everywhere¡­ What if you are given a chance to lead in that world? How the heck will you handle it?" Chad heard her ask without waiting for his answer whether he agreed for her to ask a question. Chad shook his head and then smiled while looking at the sun. "Leading a chaotic world. Hmm, only tough ones could do that¡­ Someone who could overcome the love of power will be a perfect leader for a chaotic world¡­ Someone who has time and patience¡­" The woman looked at Chad with a wide smile on her face and suddenly asked, "Do you think you can be that person, studly man?" Chad''s jaw dropped as he stared at the woman who even gave him a wink before looking at her watch and cursed, "Oh crap. I''m late for an appointment with one of my patients. Here, my ice cream tastes good. I have to leave now. Nice meeting you studly man." Chad watched the woman run away in a rush. His mouth agape in awe. Then he stared in disbelief at her ice cream that she handed in his hand. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"This is a toast not only because I got married to the hot, stunning young mom, but also because these newlyweds would soon become grandparents of wonderful babies of our two handsome sons, Xander and Dion!" announced Senior Yang as he raised his glass for a toast. "Cheers!" Everyone echoed at the dining area. The pregnant women immediately became the center of attraction of all the guests and many even started teasing the two glowing beauties, the night was a prideful showoff for the whole family with the newlyweds basking in their happiness and the two beautiful soon to be mothers blushing while their husband''s too were both proud and feeling achieved. Xander noticed Lana was not around so he elbowed Chad and asked, "Where''s Lana?" "Oh, she called. She said she will stay at the floating villa and will be in time here for our leave." Chad responded then contemplated asking something, but in the end he could not help but whisper what he saw while he was roaming around the area to Xander. "You mean Dr. Yao?" Xander croaked and Chad nodded. "She and Mara really look so much the same," Chad muttered. Xander was aware about Mara''s existence so he thought that maybe Xander knew something was going on without him knowing since it had been years already since he left country D. "Yeah, they did the DNA testing between Mara and Dr. Yao to see if they matched since Keira said that by their looks it could be a possibility that the two could be lost twins or maybe connected or a family somehow. Keira said before that Mara looks so different from the other isolated people in that island so she speculates that Mara accidentally was cast away or left behind into that island when she''s still young. But I haven''t asked Keira about the result of the DNA. Why don''t you call Keira to know more¡­" Xander suggested to Chad. Chad shook his head. He too was curious, but he was avoiding Keira Chan as much as possible. Why? Because Keira always nagged him about Mara and never left a chance in embarrassing him. Xander then looked at his wife with suspicious squinted eyes, wondering why his wife did not say a word about Dr. Yao being at the medical facility of the island. Chewing on his lip, Xander consciously stared at his wife¡­ "What?" Yera breathed, noticing her husband''s measuring stares. "How come you never mentioned Dr. Yao''s presence on the island to me?" Xander asked because he was aware how irritated his wife got whenever Dr. Yao was in the picture. "What for? It''s not needed. Wait. Do you mean that I need to worry about something?" Yera muttered with tweezed eyebrows. Xander suddenly straightened out from his seat and quickly defended, "Of course not!" Then he gave Yera a look with his flashing eyes with a broad meaningful smile before whispering, "Let''s escape from this crowd now, darling." Without waiting for Yera''s answer, Xander immediately pulled her out from the dining area to walk towards their room. Outside the dining area, Yera gasped when Xander suddenly lifted her up and carried her into a bridal style. "What are you doing?" Yera murmured. "Carrying my beautiful darling. The love of my life. My alluring queen. The gorgeous mother of my baby¡­ no¡­ babies..." Xander showered her with flirtatious words and praises while he stepped on each stair. Yera''s eyes were sparkling with love while her cheeks blushed a deep shade of red hearing each compliment from her husband''s mouth. "Hmm, I guess our babies are very healthy." Xander suddenly spurt with his mischievous grin while he gently put down Yera on the bed. "Why?" Yera asked with her lovely inquisitive smile. "Cause my super s.e.xy wife seems to have become heavy¡­ I mean because of that heavyweight¡­ Oh, I think my arms almost broke," Xander mumbled in a jest. Yera sat up with a crumpled face on the bed. Her smile turned into a grimace, and Xander failed to dodge her hitting fist, landing on his chest. "Ouch! Darling, that hurts!" he cried. "After those praises, pulling my leg down?" Yera chided and Xander immediately hugged her, laughing in his trademark charismatic way. "Geez, I''m just kidding, darling. I''m only testing how swingy your mood swings are. Now I know I should be more careful. Of course you''re not heavy but super lightweight. Darling¡­ you will never be heavy for me and always remain the most gorgeous and beautiful woman in this entire world... I love you, my beautiful wife." Xander countered then gently pushed Yera to give her a sounding kiss on her lips. He then carefully pushed her to lie on the bed to kiss her tummy. "I love you too, my babies," Xander blissfully remarked. He even raised Yera''s dress from her abdomen so he could kiss her bare tummy before placing his ear on it as if trying to hear a thing. "Darling, our babies are talking to me¡­ saying you should take extra care of your body now. Don''t stress too much, especially whenever you think about daddy. You should stay strong not only physically and mentally but mostly emotionally. Trust daddy will do good and come home safe so wait with a peaceful and calm heart." Xander shared with a grin as he tilted his head to look at his wife. "Oh, wait darling, I think our babies have more to say." Xander added and put his ear back on Yera''s stomach. "What? No! Why are you all a glutton? The grumbling is too loud!" Xander whined and Yera laughed because her stomach was indeed grumbling. She was still hungry after eating too much already for dinner. Xander sat up and gently caressed Yera''s stomach. "My cute babies¡­ Alright, I will get you food to eat soon but listen well. Daddy too has a message for you guys¡­ Please make sure to grip very tight in your mommy''s w.o.m.b will yah? That''s daddy''s only request, make sure you stick more than a glue to mommy''s w.o.m.b until her due date okay. Make sure you all will grow there inside with good health and a normal growth. I''m so excited to meet and see all of you guys!" Xander lovingly whispered. Yera could not help the tears from welling up as it silently fell from her eyes while she watched her husband lovingly and adoringly talking to her still small tummy, hoping their babies inside could already hear their daddy''s plea. ********************************************************** Send direct support/love gift to the author through: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

Min was a more approachable person than Jun, since he rather talked too much, asking him a lot of questions. But Shane''s father was like Jun, the quiet type. It had been a few days already since he arrived at Shane''s house, but her father never talked to him yet, until tonight when Jun told him that his father-in-law was waiting for him in his study room, so Josh went there immediately after excusing himself from Shane and Jun, who were with him in the living room. He knocked and opened the door when he heard Shane''s father say, "Come in." "Please sit." Shane''s father instructed, then he gave a glass to Josh. Josh gulped, seeing him opening a bottle of hard drink. "Do you drink Josh?" Shane''s father asked. "Yes, father." Josh answered, trying to hide his nervousness. This was the first time Shane''s father talked to him because he would only nod or glance at him most of the time. He even asked Shane if her father was angry because of the unexpected wedding or did not like him or his background, but Shane only laughed at him saying it was her father''s character since he was a man of few words. "Sorry if I did not give you a proper welcome son. You see, I had to work out a lot of things and make sure your stay here should be safe enough." Shane''s father explained while he sat opposite Josh and poured a drink in Josh''s glass, then handed the bottle to Josh. Josh quickly grabbed the bottle and poured in his father-in-law''s glass. He was very nervous thinking about the reason he was called for a one-to-one drink with Shane''s father. He only hoped he would not scold or reprimand him for marrying his precious daughter without permission. He was also afraid that if his father-in-law had called him for a few drinks then he wished he could last long and would not disappoint Shane''s father by blacking out so early. "I understand, father," Josh replied meekly and raised his glass. When Shane''s father raised him, he drank it in one gulp, keeping up with Shane''s father. For a couple of minutes, they kept repeating the same action of pouring in each other''s glass and drinking together in utter silence. Josh felt a kind of pressure building upon him. He would go crazy soon if he would not talk, so he opened his mouth to start some kind of conversation, but halted when Shane''s father suddenly spoke. "Shane is our only girl. As a woman, she may feel like she is lacking a lot since she grew up with boys in her surroundings. Most thought she is a tomboy but for us, especially me, she is our precious princess. She is very precious to me in my heart, I love her dearly but I failed her as a father¡­" Shane''s father started pouring his heart out in a very regretful tone, before pouring another peg in Josh''s glass. Josh then filled his father-in-law''s empty glass that he again drank in one gulp before continuing, "As a father, I love all my children equally, but I came to the point where I had to choose between my three sons or my only daughter and I¡­ like a coward... chose my three sons¡­" Josh could notice the cracked voice of his father-in-law whose eyes welled up and had started crying in front of him. Josh felt that burden he had been holding in his heart, so he pulled his chair over and sat just beside him. He consciously pulled his father-in-law in a warm embrace. He could understand how hard it must have been for him as a father and he doubted if he could tell this to his sons and more so to Shane. He stroked his back and gently patted him there while he said, "You only did what you thought was best for your family father. Shane surely understands you. She must have been hurt at first, but she definitely understands your dilemma. I''m sure about it, father. Please lift up and throw away that burden already since Shane is fine and I assure you that I will take good care of my wife forever.??? His father-in-law gently pushed him, then smiled and nodded at Josh while he wiped his tears. "I''m sorry¡­ I guess the alcohol already took effect, and I became too emotional. I''m really glad that Shane is lucky enough to be able to find such a responsible and reliable husband as you are Josh. I just hope that no matter what happened¡­ No, I beg you to please stay with her always no matter what¡­" Shane''s father grabbed his hands and squeezed it. With pleading eyes he repeated, "I beg you to please take good care of my Shane and don''t let any harm come on her way. Please protect her." "Yes, father, I will please don''t worry. Shane is my responsibility and I will always look after her at any cost." Josh answered. Meanwhile, Shane was busy checking her mobile phone while she sat with her brothers in the living room who were watching the evening news. "How does it feel to work again for the Yue facilities sis?" Min suddenly asked. "Nothing special, just the same routine, but it feels good because of the high pay." Shane nonchalantly commented. None of her family members knew that she had come back there as a spy of the military this time. She was already in action as per her new role and every day she went inside the Yue facilities were precious. "You are lucky that Mr. Long has been given a task abroad by Prince Yun." Jun commented. Indeed, she was lucky that no one was pestering her while she could concentrate on her mission in hacking those bastards'' facilities. That Yun seemed to prepare for a war, mobilizing all the armed men in the Clan for a confidential mission that she had already relayed to Zach. She was yet to find out where those men were being dispatched. "What do you think they are talking about?" Min suddenly asked Shane referring to Josh who went to their father in his study room. "What else? Maybe some formal stuff between father-in-law and son-in-law? I wonder though, what''s keeping them up for so long? Father hates talking, right?" Shane mumbled and grabbed a chip on the table to eat. "Yeah, I think thirty minutes have already passed since I called bro-in-law, right?" Min added. "Maybe it''s some serious talk they are indulged into." Jun interrupted. "Hmm, I''ll go and check," Shane mumbled and stood up. "Wait, I''ll go with you and see as well." Min said and quickly followed Shane. For some reason, Jun also stood up and followed behind Min. They heard shouting with a rhyme from outside the door. "Are they singing?" Min asked in disbelief, looking at Jun beside him. "Let''s see." Shane whispered and silently opened the door to have a peak. Then followed Min whose head was above Shane then next was Jun whose head was above Min. All of their eyes widened, seeing their father singing in an acapella using the empty bottle as his microphone while Josh banged the table as if playing a drum in accompaniment to their father''s singing. Shane blissfully smiled and whispered, "My husband is working hard. I should reward him for that." Min and Jun left instead since they could no longer bear to watch their always serious father who was a man of few words acting like that with his son-in-law when drunk. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Lovingly, he caressed her cheek and muttered, "Darling, I have to go now." He sighed while he dwelled on her beauty for a few more minutes. Yera told him to wake her up before leaving. He chuckled, recalling how his wife tried hard to fight the urge to close her heavy eyelids just awhile ago. She did not want to sleep so she could send him off, at least to the outside of the mansion. Xander did not wake her up and planted a gentle, sweet kiss on her lips before he quietly left the room. It was already midnight. Although he wanted to stay longer but they could not risk it besides, there was still a lot more to do before the trial started. He went down and saw Chad with Rui, Dion and his father in the living room area. "Hey, why are you all here and not sleeping yet? Didn''t we already say our goodbyes last night?" Xander spoke, looking at the three men with knitted brows. "We will send you off on behalf of Yera." Rui answered with a grin because they were sure Yera would not be able to stay awake for that long. He approached Xander and lovingly hugged him tight like a wife. "Make sure you take care of yourself and come to us alive, healthy, with all of the pieces on every part of your body still intact." Rui murmured in a plea. "Hey, let go this feels awkward. Look at how they look at us. You''re more clingy than my wife." Xander mumbled in embarrassment, but Rui tightened the hug intentionally, making Xander cringe and gasp for air. "I can''t breathe, you bastard!" Xander complained. Dion and Senior Yang together with Chad laughed, watching the two. "Hold on, I''m lending you my spiritual force for you to succeed in your fight even though I''m not there." Rui said in a joke and Xander pushed him. Rui laughed and said, "You go ahead now and don''t worry about the company because it''s doing so well." Xander arched his brow and teased with a meaningful grin, "Why do I feel you''re busy with something else?" Rui''s face reddened while he beamed, "Aren''t you going to be late? Go now, hurry." Xander laughed at Rui, trying to avoid his teasing. He looked at Dion who gave him a nod and said, "Take care there. I will make sure sis is taken care of here, bro." Then Xander looked at his father who also hugged him tightly and said, "Son, thank you for coming to my wedding. Remember, we should not say goodbyes¡­ ''Till we meet again is the correct phrasing. Don''t say we already said our goodbye but till we meet again¡­." "I will remember dad. Geez, common, you all go back now and don''t see me off to the car. You''re making it feel like a sad parting. I have to go now." Xander said with a smile. "Let''s go?" Chad interrupted while he looked on his wristwatch. They had to go already since it''s preferable to always travel in the dark when people were still sleeping. ??Where''s Lana?" Xander asked, noticing Lana was not around. "She will follow soon. She called me and said she will meet us at our territory tomorrow. Don''t worry, she''s fine. I think she has some personal issues to settle." Chad relayed since his men reported they saw Lana with a man she knew. Upon checking the man''s identity, they found out it was Ryu''s cousin, Chad, with that information, confirmed Lana''s safety. He and Xander would travel back to country V for now without Lana. Xander heaved a long sigh and signaled Dion and his father to go back to their rooms with their wives. He let Rui send them off outside the mansion where an armored car with a full tight security team was already waiting. "See you soon." Xander turned at Rui with a wink and Rui nodded. Rui watched the cars leave and exhaled loudly, hoping Xander would soon finish his problems. He went back inside the mansion and smiled as he went upstairs to go to their room where Cali was already sleeping. At first Cali was adamant to come because Kane was trying all his best in convincing Cali not to come. Rui shook his head, recalling how many times Kane acted to be in pain when his doctor clearly said everything was fine. His face twisted at the thought on how long that brat would try to continue on going in between him and Cali. Kane just could not give up on trying to get Cali''s attention towards him using his injured condition. Rui quickly brushed off Kane in his head since it would spoil the mood. He was here not only to attend the wedding but to spoil Cali on the beautiful island while he could. Rui quietly entered the room and sat on the bedside while he gazed at Cali''s beautiful face. She looked so cute during the celebration with her face blushing most of the time since she and him had become the center of teasing to everyone. That moment, he felt the clock stopped where he stared at Cali''s beautiful face with her sweet smiles to everyone. That moment, he realized he was ready to take Cali as his wife. He was ready to marry her because he could not see himself be with any other woman for a lifetime except for her. However, he wanted more time for their relationship to build a strong foundation not for him but on Cali''s side because he himself was sure it was Cali he wanted to be with forever. Cali was only twenty-one and Rui felt he was a cradle snatcher, snatching away Cali''s youth. Cali had a lot of dreams she shared with him. She discovered her biggest dreams after the accident and she said he played a big part in it. She wanted to explore that new craft and become a famous Chef in the future. He smiled and murmured, "I''m sure you will become the most gorgeous Chef in the world, not only a famous one sweetheart." He would support her in every way and he would make sure that he would not become a hindrance for her to reach her dreams. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

After the accident, she had become too enthusiastic with cooking and had applied at one of the best and top culinary art schools in the world. She was so happy and jumped out on him in their room awhile ago telling him of her dreams. The school was in country A and it was far from their country V. Rui heaved a deep sigh because it only meant that he and Cali would soon have a long distance relationship. He could still see the excitement on her face¡­ So Rui decided to hold his intention to propose marriage to her as of now. She was too excited and passionate about her going¡­ If his estimate was correct, that would take at least two years? Not bad since they had already agreed to wait for three years before having the marriage ceremony in front of their families. A long engagement indeed. Rui lay down beside her on the bed and wrapped his arms on Cali''s waist while he buried his face in the crook of her neck. "Sweetheart¡­ I will support you in whatever it is that you want to achieve." he whispered before planting soft and sweet little kisses on Cali''s face then lips. Cali moved then slowly opened up her eyes. A beautiful smile carved on her lips as she said, "Why are you still awake?" "I sent Xander off." Rui answered with a smile. "Go back to sleep. Tomorrow, we''ll have a tour on the island with Dion and Rizie." He added while the back of his caress her cheek. Cali nodded. But before closing her eyes, she moved her face closer and kissed Rui''s lips. She missed his lips. Rui would often kiss her forehead before going to sleep these days like a toddler. So she took this opportunity to boldly kiss him. Later, she would just say she thought she was dreaming to save her face in case Rui would tease him. The supposed to be a quick goodnight gentle kiss turned passionate as Rui deepened it, savoring Cali''s sweetness while he pondered and divulged his tongue deeper in her mouth. Cali unconsciously m.o.a.ned because her body was undeniably craving for Rui''s touch like before. She wanted to feel him kissing her body, her bare skin because it felt great and addicting. She wanted to feel the pleasure she experienced whenever he touched and kissed her like before. "Rui.. I want you." she voiced out her thoughts when she felt Rui kissed her neck, sucking and licking, giving her another red mark. She wanted more¡­ She did not exactly know how to say it to him, but she wanted more of him. She unconsciously blushed and scolded her inner self for having such perverted thoughts. She felt like she was more eager than Rui. No wonder he often teased her and lately deprived her of more skin contact. Hearing Cali''s plea, Rui inwardly cursed while he gathered the thin strands of control left in his body. Hearing Cali say such words like that made it so hard already for him to control his hunger towards her. He groaned when he felt Cali''s hand on his crotch. She was rubbing his hard shaft underneath his boxers. He groaned hard when her hand slipped inside and gently tugged it. She was stroking his shaft with her soft palm. "You''re becoming a naughty sweetheart." Rui whispered in Cali''s ear with his hoarse voice followed by another howl of pleasure. He kissed her collarbone and bit her bare shoulder. His hand moved inside her nightgown and directly reached for her soft mounds, circling his fingers on her hard peaks, burning flames all over Cali''s body. Rui''s hand then moved further south, inside Cali''s panty as his finger gently stroked her line. She was too wet already, teasing his hand to slip inside her slippery entrance. Cali''s body twined. Rui, breathing heavily, removed Cali''s nightgown. Her n.i.p.p.l.es were hard and swollen. She was so beautiful with her hazy eyes staring at him. He then removed his clothes, giving Cali a full view of his body as well. Rui began invading those perfect contours of Cali before him with his playful tongue and mouth. Cali arched her body and called him several times in pleasure. The sensations made her float in ecstasy. "Rui..." she m.o.a.ned. Every cry of pleasure of Cali was like music to Rui''s ears, making his shaft drip while he claimed her peaks in his mouth. Then his mouth went further south, plunging and surging his tongue on Cali''s private part there. Cali''s head moved left and right abruptly including her h.i.p.s as Rui assaulted her alley with his finger while his tongue played on her clit, sucking it while she felt his finger move in and out of her. Cali felt her body would explode soon. "Rui¡­" she cried as she squirmed in ecstasy and filled Rui''s mouth with her flowing juices. Her body was still shaking while she felt Rui''s tongue licking the juices she just excreted. She subconsciously wiped the tears in her eyes after her eruption. Cali slightly raised her body. Rui was still in between her legs, sipping every drop. Then he tilted his head and licked her lips. Cali gulped, and suddenly she felt shy, pulling Rui up. "Sweetheart, I''ll be back¡­" she heard Rui and her face crumpled. "How about you? We should do it already." Cali timidly uttered. Rui froze, so Cali rolled over him. "We shouldn''t do it yet, Cali." Rui whispered. Cali looked down and said, "but you''re still hard." Cali did not wait for Rui to answer and kissed him. If Rui did not want to do it yet, then she would also return the favor by pleasing him. He said he would teach her, but she was getting impatient because of his distance, so she took the initiative to watch a lot of videos on how to please her man without doing the actual thing of intercourse. She then showered Rui''s neck with hickeys and whispered, "Don''t worry, we will not do it. Let me just apply what I learnt from surfing the internet, sweetheart." She giggled seeing how Rui gulped and how his breathing ragged while she rubbed his shaft while giving him kisses all over his body. Then she lowered her body. Her head in between Rui''s thighs. Tonight she would give him her first blowjob, Cali was only hoping she could do things right. His shaft was wet, and Cali licked on its tip. Hearing Rui growled gave her a positive input, so she continued licking from its base up to its tip while her hands played on his globes. She felt encouraged with Rui''s small cries of pleasure, calling out her name to the sweetheart, saying how it felt good. Soon Cali covered his shaft with her mouth, bobbing her head in and out in a slow motion while her tongue would occasionally play on his skin inside. She could feel his nerve pulsating and felt it grew even larger inside her mouth. Rui''s hands were in her hair. "Cali remove it, I''m going to c.u.m!" But Cali did not remove her mouth and felt Rui''s juices spurting inside. He had eaten hers so why not eat his too? Rui stared at her in disbelief, seeing Cali swallow everything. "It tastes¡­ Hmm, not that bad but a bit salty, bitter and sweet?" Cali murmured and Rui laughed and pulled her for a tight embrace. "I told you to remove your mouth." he whispered in delight, still panting. "But you eat mine¡­" Cali naively responded. "But that doesn''t mean you have to eat mine too. Yours taste originally sweet while mine will vary depending on my diet," Rui, amused, explained. "It''s okay¡­Whatever the taste is¡­ As long as it''s yours¡­" Cali bashfully mumbled. Rui gently pushed Cali and gave her a kiss, wondering how he could last those two years without being with her everyday like this. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

It was the worst hangover he had ever had in his life. He immediately got out of the bed and took a quick shower and went out of the room. "You''re up late¡­ Go to the dining area. Shane is busy preparing a meal for you." Min commented with a mischievous grin on his face before adding, "Good luck bro¡­" Josh was confused with that grin, and he wondered. "Why does it look like something not so good is about to happen?" Josh murmured as he walked towards the dining area. He saw Shane preparing the table for him. "You''re awake just in time. I am sure you must be feeling hungry," Shane greeted with an ear to ear smile. "I rarely cook but I wanted to reward my good husband so¡­ I cooked for you today." "Oh dad, come eat with Josh¡­ I cooked something good for a hangover." Shane muttered with a smile, seeing her father. Shane''s father gulped and said, "It''s okay, dear. I''m already late for work, so I''ll just take a drive through on my way." Then he looked at Josh and muttered, "Enjoy the meal and good luck, son." Josh felt something was weird in the sentences they all spoke and looked at all the dishes before him. ''Why did they sound like Shane''s cooking is bad?'' he mused when he thought everything seemed to be nicely done in the presentation and smelled good as well. "Go on and dig in." Shane mumbled after she sat beside Josh. She stared at him lovingly while he moved to take a sip of the soup she made. Josh pursed his lips and wanted to spat the salty soup, but seeing Shane''s smiling face at him gave him the courage to swallow it. "How was it?" Shane asked. "Salty." Josh mumbled and drank some water. Shane creased her forehead and tasted it. "Ewww! Why is it like this?" Shane mumbled and ran to spit in the sink. "Try this¡­ I put too much effort into this, it must be good." Shane offered the next dish and removed the soup and kept it aside. Josh did not chew the beef broccoli dish and swallowed it all, followed by a lot of rice that made Shane''s face bright. "Was it good?" she asked. Josh drank water and said, "Hmm, too much soy sauce I think." Shane checked it and spat that also out afterwards. Josh chuckled, seeing Shane''s crumpled face. "Did you not taste them while cooking?" he asked. "I did I felt like they were bland so I added more spices and just let it stir afterwards and did not taste anymore," "No wonder they all said good luck to me¡­" Josh whispered. "Huh?" Shane asked then said, "Don''t eat it. I will ask Min to cook you something¡­" "It''s okay, Shane. I will eat. It''s still edible¡­" Josh commented with a wink. Shane felt bad that she could not offer even a good meal made by her to please Josh as a reward for all that he had done for her. She wondered why even simple cooking was so difficult for her to achieve. Shane then looked at the clock and cursed. "I have to go now¡­ I will be back as early as I can and then will reward you with something else for doing a marvellous job with my family. Bye-bye handsome!" Shane remarked with a wink, but Josh suddenly held her arm. "Huh? Yes?" Shane asked and looked at Josh with questioning eyes. "You forgot something¡­" Josh muttered while his face reddened. "What? I have kept everything in my bag." Shane answered with knitted brows, thinking if she missed something important that she would need in hacking the system. It would be the last task for her¡­ planting a malware in their entire system. She saw Josh nuzzling his lips and Shane laughed, getting the signal. Since when did he become adorable like this? So cute. She leaned down and gave him one sounding kiss on his lips before whispering in his ear, "Wait for me¡­ I will give you something that would make you feel great¡­" Josh unconsciously gulped because Shane''s warm breath almost made his heart skip a beat that he controlled himself to sweep her in his arms and lock her up inside their room. Shane gave him one more small kiss and quickly left. Josh gawked then followed by carving a sweet ear to ear smile on his face. He suddenly got hungry and ate everything Shane cooked. Surprisingly, it tasted good suddenly. Min entered with some food he cooked quickly in the dining area, and his jaw dropped seeing the empty plates before Josh. "You ate those junkies?!" he exclaimed in terror. Josh lovingly smiled and said, "They are not that bad besides, your sister cooked them with love." Min wanted to vomit and correct his brother-in-law by saying, ''my sister cooked them ignorantly!'' but stopped himself seeing the wide and contented smiles from Josh. "I can''t believe someone could fall head over heels like you for my tomboy sister." Min could not help but whisper. "Why not?" Josh, who heard it ask. Min sat in front of him and said, "Well, she''s like one of the boys you see around and has no girlish character, so no one dared court her here. Do you know that she even pretended to be a boy for a long period of time by cutting her hair like ours? And she did fake a lot in our community who was not aware yet of her existence since she was gone for too long to train. They just returned Shane back to us when they discovered her heart disease." Min gritted his teeth, recalling how those men took his seven-year-old sister forcefully away from them. The King''s brother, Prince Yun, was the most evil thing that should be eliminated from the world. Min quickly brushed off the man from his head to lift his mood back. He looked at the empty plates and murmured, "Shane once tried to cook for us but since then we never let her touch the kitchen again to cook us a meal. Well, today is an exemption since she said it''s for you." Josh laughed and said, "She just needs some teaching." "Trust me¡­ We taught her, tried many times, but really¡­ She''s just born not to be good at cooking." Min commented recalling how the dish turned badly because of Shane''s poor balancing with spices. She always felt that the taste was not good enough or not good so she tended to add more salt, soy, vinegar, chili or sugar¡­ whatever spices were needed. Josh excused himself after cleaning up the table. Min followed Josh''s back who left the dining area. He was sure Josh would soon get an upset stomach, so Min walked out too to buy some medicine just in case Shane asked for it later. Josh happily went back inside their room. He felt so excited about Shane''s return that he wanted to pull the time fast and it be even in an instant. His relationship with Shane was going smoothly and Josh was planning to confess his genuine feelings to her soon. He was nervous though, thinking how Shane would react to him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Yue Clan Facility Shane vaguely looked at the surroundings and spotted all the hidden cameras near Zone 2. She disguised herself in the uniform of a control maintenance and used the ID she duplicated from one of the staff members who worked there. Every movement was precise. She put the timer on her watch and quickly pulled out some electrical wires in the control area and connected it to the device she had that Zach provided. She sighed as she waited for the tab to reach a hundred percent. She looked at the wristwatch and sighed. Thirteen minutes left before the next shift to arrive. She was calm and composed as she waited. She watched the cctv footage on her mobile phone and paled seeing someone approaching the Arc 2 door. "Fu*k!" she cursed seeing the tab at ninety percent. She counted the steps and computed for the time the man should reach the door. She still had time. "Faster!" Shane grumbled and immediately disconnected the device as soon as it reached a hundred percent. She then immediately stepped out from Zone 2 and walked back towards her area. "Stop!" Shane heard the man called. Her heart almost skipped a beat as she stopped right there. "What are you doing here?" the man asked. Shane inhaled slowly and turned around when she heard another man speak, "What''s going on?" Shane gulped, the man was Tyron, Raine''s right-hand man. "I saw this unauthorized person in the area Sir." the man reported and was about to look at Shane but Tryon ordered, "Leave now! I asked for her!" The man nodded and immediately left. Shane looked at Tyron, relieved. Though she wondered why he helped her. "Go now. Next time someone sees you again in an unauthorized area, you will die." Shane heard Tyron said, so she nodded and quickly left the area. If her family and Josh found out how dangerous was the work that she was doing¡­ Shane exhaled and went to the restroom where she changed her outfit back and disposed off the one she just used. That place was safe since she could avoid the rotating CCTV outside. She was still conflicted though on why would Tyron¡­ She felt Tyron let her off very easily. ..... As soon as Shane left the facility, she informed Zach about the status through Rizie. She went back home as early as she could as promised. "I''m home!" Shane declared as soon as she arrived inside and saw Josh with Min playing some games. She passed by them and gave Josh a wink and whispered, "Follow me in fifteen minutes." She even signaled him that she would only take a shower. Min shook his head and muttered, "How''s your stomach bro? I''ve got medicine there. I think you should drink it first before going up." Josh chuckled and said, "I''m good. My stomach can take simple things like that. I told you Shane''s cooking is not that bad." "Yeah right. I know¡­ Love is blind," Min scoffed and Josh laughed. He really liked hanging out with Min because he was cool, unlike Jun that was so serious. He was afraid to talk since he was not sure if Jun would get his joke or would misinterpret it instead. After fifteen minutes, Josh excused himself from Min to go to their room. He was too excited that he almost tripped on the stairs. He opened the door and creased his forehead, seeing the room was dark. Josh gulped when a dim light suddenly went on their bed and he saw Shane lying there just in lingerie. "What the¡­" Josh breathed, seeing his wife wearing almost nothing except a small piece in black silk lace. Shane started her seductive movements. She got up from the bed and walked towards Josh, pulling him towards the bed. She pushed him on the bed and crawled on top of him. She smiled seeing Josh gulped. "I told you I will give you a good reward¡­" Shane seductively whispered. She grabbed Josh''s shirt, but before she could even strip him, he rolled on top of her and muttered, "Wait!" Josh jumped out of bed and dashed inside the bathroom. Shane was left on the bed flabbergasted. "What happened?" she murmured, totally unaware of what was going on. "Josh!" Shane called. She was getting worried because Josh seemed to take very long if he was only peeing. "Yes? Sorry¡­ My stomach is feeling unwell." she heard Josh mutter, so Shane hurriedly put on her robe and went out to ask Min for medicine. "Here. I bought early because I felt like he would soon need it after he finished everything you cooked! I''m proud of you sis! Someone actually managed to eat what you cook!" Min relayed and sarcastically complimented. "What?! I told you to cook something for him. Why did he eat all that? Didn''t you cook him food?" Shane mumbled with a creased forehead. Why would Josh eat that when she herself could not dare swallow a single bite of what she cooked? "Yeah, I did but before I could serve it to him, he had already finished everything you put on his table saying you cooked them with love so he ate them all. It was like saying he doesn''t want to put your love in the waste bin? Right?" Min wanted to vomit after relaying those cheesy words and his interpretation to his sister. "He said that?" Shane asked in disbelief and Min nodded. Shane''s eyes widened as she realized something. She hugged her brother tightly and even kissed him on the cheek while saying, "Thank you! You''re a genius!!!" "Let me go! Urgh, so gross sis!" Min complained and wiped his cheeks with his palm. Meanwhile, Shane quickly went back to their room in a hurry and hugged Josh, who just came out from the restroom. "I love you!" Shane mumbled. "I love you too," Josh answered. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"What did you say?" Shane asked, blinking several times. She was serious while saying those words at him, but hearing his reply in the same serious tone caught her off guard. It was unexpected. ''Did Josh say I love you too?'' she mused. She heard the words correctly, right? She saw Josh roguishly grinned. Afraid that she was only hallucinating, Shane asked again, "What did you just say?" Josh had a smile that reached his eyes while his stare at Shane penetrated deep within her bones. "I was planning to make it a romantic confession, a day to remember forever, to tell you how I felt for you, but you suddenly blasted those words on me such that I couldn''t help but answer you right away." Josh stated before cupping Shane''s face and declaring to her, "Mrs. Shane Lim¡­ I love you¡­ I love you¡­ I love you¡­ I love you¡­" "I hope I have said it enough times for you to hear it?" Josh uttered. Shane nodded and abruptly kissed Josh, leaving him no room for air to gasp. "Who said I need a romantic set-up for your confession? Just hearing those words coming from your heart and on your lips is more than enough," Shane mumbled between her kisses. She felt she was at cloud nine and everything in her surroundings were covered in bright light brought about by a blast of fireworks everywhere. She was too grateful and blissful at that moment. Nothing was more rejoiceful than a love that was reciprocated. She did not end up having the unrequited love she once thought she would end up with, but her love was reciprocated! That night Shane''s room was filled with humming and m.o.a.ning sounds of love making overnight, as they both couldn''t have enough of each other. They were so much engrossed in themselves that Josh was a bit skeptical after a few times, if they went overboard and asked Shane if her room was somewhat soundproof because of their aggressive lovemaking where both could not satiate their hunger of being in each other''s arms, lost deep in each other. "Nah¡­ Don''t mind them¡­ They wouldn''t care besides we''re in the process of producing a baby so they might even silently cheer for us." Shane muttered before rolling over Josh on their bed. "I will dry all your energy tonight." Shane winked, followed by an evil laugh. Josh''s face reddened before whispering, "Do as you please my love¡­" Shane cringed because she was not used to Josh saying such cheesy words. Maybe she should get used to it from now on. .... At Quan Clan Country V "We''re in¡­ She did it!" Chad informed Xander pertaining to Shane who managed to put the malware in the system of the Yue clan. "Didn''t it go too easily for her to penetrate the system, install the malware and not even get caught? I mean, I was expecting the Yue clan to be more guarded against such threats, given the situation they are in right now?" Lana commented. "My same sentiments as well¡­ Unless someone from the inside let her go easily?" Xander commented. "Yeah, she said Raine''s right-hand man made it easy for her¡­" Chad commented. "Raine is the King''s daughter, right? How come you haven''t seen her as well? Shouldn''t you guys have some events like parties to gather and meet each other?" Lana commented. Chad laughed and said, "I think you almost forgot that I hid in your country as Keira''s bodyguard for so long, Lana. Unfortunately, there were no events or parties when I arrived for me to meet her. Besides, that princess is not an ordinary woman. Most people who met her say she is like thin air. You will feel her presence but cannot see her appearance most of the time. I heard that woman love disguises. But Shane had seen her. Maybe we can ask her later to draw her picture or describe it for a sketch?" ??No need, you said she''s quite harmless, so why to bother about her? Our only target is Yun since he''s the one manipulating things and planning everything to dispose of my bloodline." Xander commented before going through some more doc.u.ments inside Chad''s private room where no one had access except Chad. The three were back to wrap up certain things before the trial began. Almost everything was ready except for one. "How''s patient X?" Chad asked Xander. "He is improving, but it''s still not safe for him to travel here¡­ Dr. Black is trying to prepare him well for the trial. Hopefully, he can manage to testify during that time." Xander murmured. Patient X was the key for this trial since he was the only evidence against Yun. He was the one who had direct communication with Yun himself. The man who shot Yera in the kidnapping case. It so happened that he was instructed by Yun to kill Yera so the blame could be put on to Xander since they were sworn enemies in business during that time. The man, patient X, was clever enough to record the evidence of Yun negotiating with him for that special instruction of killing Yera. But he was shot by the gang leader that led him in a coma state. They prepared everything and connected the dots together. At the trial they would specify every detail in pulling Yun down. To be honest, Xander felt as if someone was helping him from behind the scenes, and he wondered who it was. He got an anonymous message about the trial saying they should make sure to bring Yun down. Once Yun was pronounced guilty, he would be sentenced to death by hanging. In that tip he got, they should wrap it all before King Marcus woke up from his coma as that would be worse if he woke up and Yun was still unscathed. Chad later confirmed it with Ester and the latter said that the information was reliable. "Could it be that Tyron?" Xander mused at the thought of the person who let Shane off that easily. If not for that Tyron, Shane would be in great danger once that security checked her up. Xander instructed Zach to pull Shane and Josh away as early as possible from Yue''s territory back at country D since Shane was already done with her mission. He wanted to make sure that Shane would be safe. ''Or could it be Raine?'' Xander mused next since Tyron was Raine''s right-hand man. Shane once had mentioned that Raine wanted to reform the Yue''s clan. So it was possible that Raine wanted Yun, her own uncle, down? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Don''t you have any work at all?" Kane scowled, squinting his eyes on Rui who was preparing his meal instead of Cali who was playing games on her mobile phone. "Cali prefers that we both always be together, so I can''t help it out. Just eat your lunch Kane because we have to leave soon to pick up your sister and brother-in-law at the airport. Stop crumpling your face or else your bruises won''t heal fast and may even leave a scar there," Rui commented with a smile. Lately, he started finding Kane''s childishness amusing, maybe because he was too confident now about Cali''s love for him that he felt Kane would never be a hindrance between them unlike before. Yet he still refused to trust Kane to be left alone with Cali for some unknown reasons. He shook his head because he was becoming more possessive for Cali so the unknown reasons he first thought were invalid. Kane looked at Cali then confidently whispered, "Do you really think I will give up on Cali that easily? Wait until I confess to her about what I feel and I''m sure she will know my worth." "When do you plan to confess? Tell me and I''ll arrange the schedule of Cali to be alone with you for a while..." Rui nonchalantly commented, making sure Kane''s nostrils were flaring in frustration. "Let''s go Rui?" The two men heard Cali speak and saw her walk towards them so both of them suddenly started behaving well. They already had received an ultimatum from Cali if she happened to witness them arguing on petty things they would both be punished, so both were giving each other poker faces if Cali was looking at them. "Cali, can you let only Rui to go pick up sis, all by himself? I don''t have anyone with me right now. I''m not comfortable with the nurses feeding me hurriedly." Kane commented with a downcasted tone. Rui wanted to poke Kane''s eyes that he used to stare at his woman, at that moment. "Alright, then I''ll stay. Anyway, I feel tired too. Is it okay if you go on your own? I don''t know why, but Shane requested you to pick them up. She insisted that you should personally see them at the airport. I think she needs some favor from you," Cali commented. Rui no longer resisted since Shane would pass something important to him. Zach and his team were currently at Plumeria island. "Alright then, I''ll be going now, I''ll be back soon sweetheart," Rui muttered before pulling Cali in for a deep kiss in front of Kane. Kane''s face reddened in annoyance while his eyes shouted, ''Do you really need to show off like that in front of me?'' Rui answered him with a menacing grin before letting Cali go from his embrace. "Are you that happy?" Kane mumbled, seeing Cali''s eyes following Rui''s back and smiling by herself with a blushing face. "Yes!" Cali answered with a bright smile while she timidly cupped her face. "My man is so handsome and sweet," Cali muttered followed by a squeal. "I can be more sweet than him, you know." Kane bluntly muttered. "Huh?" Cali blinked at him in disbelief. Kane gulped and added, "You see Cali¡­ I lo..." "Stop it Kane, just stop right there!" he heard Cali interrupted with pursed lips. "You see, Kane, you''re one of my closest friends almost like a brother to me, so please don''t you dare jeopardize that relationship between us. I''m engaged and I love my man very much. I know what you are trying to say¡­ But please don''t¡­" Cali pleaded. Nanny Shine already gave her a heads up about it but she only laughed it out, however she noticed Kane''s action lately and knew that nanny Shine was right. Cali knew that there were times that she was dumb, but not always. She could feel how special Kane was treating her, it was just that she did not want to give any meaning to it at all besides Kane was not vocal about it, anyway. Kane felt his world would crumble soon, but still he wanted Cali to know how he felt. "I have loved you for years, Cali, from the moment you said hello to me, but don''t worry¡­ I understand what you meant but let me at least tell you I love you¡­" Kane courageously stated. Then he added, "Did that doctor ever tell you he loves you?" Cali was caught off guard with that question. ''Come to think of it. She never heard Rui say I love you to her, but she hadn''t told him the words too¡­'' Cali mused. "Not yet. I haven''t said it to him as well. We don''t need words from each other to realise the love between us, because action speaks louder than words. I know Rui loves me because I can feel it in his every action and the way he cares about me." Cali defended with pouty lips. Kane saw that glint of hesitation in Cali''s eyes as though she was trying to defend Rui. "We both know that sometimes only actions are not enough Cali. It''s so easy for men to treat any woman a little nicely. It''s the nature of most men to be sweet to all women, so women easily fall prey to it or misinterpret it. There''s a big difference between liking and loving someone Cali. You can like a woman but not necessarily love her. You never know what''s really going inside a man''s head and a man''s heart unless he becomes vocal about it." Kane explained, finding the opportunity to give Cali a bigger picture. "You also¡­ You have to assess yourself if what you''re feeling for Rui is really love and not merely an infatuation. You''re so young Cali¡­ That''s why you should not rush into marriage. You like Rui because he happened to be somewhat like the man of your dreams. He''s your ideal type, Cali, but that doesn''t mean you love him already." Kane added. He felt he was doing the right thing for Cali to think things straight. Cali had a serious expression and heaved a long deep sigh before looking straight into Kane''s eyes and firmly said, "I appreciate your concern Kane. I''m sorry if this will break your heart. No matter what you say¡­ Nothing will change because no one knows me better than myself. I know what I''m feeling and I love Rui. I like you and I love you as a brother so please¡­ If you want me to remain as your sister, stop spurting nonsense or else I will never see you again just for you to get over me and move on." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Thank you so much for the continued love, support and understanding... *********************** Josh and Shane met Rui at the airport. Shane then personally passed the code to access a certain private file of the Yue clan in the system to Rui, which would be informed to Xander and the team by him indirectly. It was not advisable and safe for her to give this information and code by any other means of using any technology while she was at the Yue clan territory. Afterward, they all went directly to the hospital to meet Kane. "Father has arranged a private plane to transport you back home. Jun will arrive soon to pick you up Kane," Shane explained as soon as they arrived at the hospital. Kane was silent and kept giving Cali sneak glances. He was hurt¡­ Deeply hurt¡­ Cali had stabbed him straight in his heart, piercing deep through it. ''It''s your fault! You asked for it yourself!'' Kane''s inner self scolded. But what could he do? He wanted to gamble and tell Cali how he really felt somehow. "Alright Shane, I think I need to go home and gather the pieces of myself up back." Kane stated, not bothering whether Cali heard it. Cali looked at Kane. She stood up and walked towards his bed. "You''re a strong man and still very young Kane. I''m sure in no time you will heal. I wish you only the best. Recuperate well and when you''re ready, I will go visit you at country V whenever I can," Cali encouraged, referring not just to Kane''s physical wound but his emotions. Cali believed Kane would soon get over her now that everything was clear. After a careful thought, it was a good thing that Kane told and confirmed to her his true feelings so she could also clarify herself to him. It was good that they could disclose things and closed this topic once and for all. Shane then held Cali''s hand before looking at her husband and said, "Me and Cali will just grab a coffee downstairs, please look after Kane?" Josh nodded with a smile while Kane''s face crumpled and said, "I''m not a kid to be looked after by your husband." Shane laughed and said, "Then entertain your brother-in-law while I have some private talks with Cali before going back to the villa." Shane then pulled Cali away to the cafe at the ground floor. "Let''s talk here because it''s uncomfortable squealing in front of Kane and Josh," Shane mumbled in excitement. "Wow! Something good must have happened that you dragged me here to tell!" Cali teased, seeing the beaming and sparkling eyes of Shane. She noticed it too as soon as they entered the hospital, Shane was glowing brightly, much more than the rising sun. "Josh told me that he loves me!" Shane conveyed giggling and squealing at the same time. Cali was aware that the marriage between Josh and Shane initially happened because Josh agreed to help her out, but in due time they would void the marriage if it would not work out for both of them. Shane had been honest to Cali about everything. She had no secrets with her except about her involvement with Yue Clan for Cali''s own safety also, so she hid it from Cali. "OMG! That''s so great Shane, I''m so happy for you!!!" Cali ecstatically burst. She was even teary eyed. "Hey why are you crying?" Shane whispered and moved closer to Cali to hug her. "It''s just tears of joy, Shane. I really wanted you to have a happy life and not be caged into a forced marriage with some old and perverted man. I was glad and happy to know that you liked and loved Josh but I was worried at the same time, though I knew your set-up was real so I kept hoping that Josh learns to love you along the way¡­. Who would have thought it would be answered right away? Oh, I''m truly so happy, Shane. Josh has a wonderful family and I can assure uncle that you will be taken care of in Josh''s home. Gosh, my tears keep on flowing!" Cali remarked. "You too Cali¡­ I''m hoping for the best for you." Shane uttered. Rui seemed to be treating Cali well. He had excused himself to attend some works after bringing her and Josh to Kane. Cali gently pushed Shane and smiled. Yes, she was hoping for it too. The two were having a wonderful conversation where Shane narrated how she said I love you to Josh and the entire scenario when Cali suddenly cowered. "What''s wrong?" Shane asked with concern, seeing Cali''s face paled. She seemed in pain. "My head¡­ It''s aching¡­" Cali whispered. "Wait, I will call Dr. Dee," Shane worriedly uttered and grabbed her mobile phone but Cali stopped her. "No Shane. Don''t mention this to Rui. Dion is my doctor¡­ I will go to him, I have already scheduled a checkup with him today, anyway. Maybe I''m just tired." Cali specified, trying to compose herself. She noticed lately that she was having episodes of a headache so she would see Dion for a consultation. "Please don''t mention this to anyone, Shane. I don''t want them to worry over these simple things, especially Rui who has a lot on his plate right now." Cali requested, forcing a smile despite the pain she was feeling. It was tolerable and something she could handle. "Alright but make sure you see Dion. I will ask him if you really had a consultation with him." Shane mumbled with narrowed eyes. Cali laughed and nodded, "Yes, ma''am so don''t worry. I''m sure it''s nothing." Cali reassured. She then added, "So tell me¡­ What are your plans now? For sure you will stay at Lim''s Villa for good? But how about our business? Are you going to rival your husband in business?" Shane laughed. Because of so many things she had to handle lately, she almost forgot how she left most of her work related to their resort for Cali to handle. "Oh, I will get back to work now. This time you rest and I will handle our resort. Josh will definitely help me with it." Shane mumbled. Cali took the opportunity to tell Shane also her plans of studying at country A to be a professional Chef. "That''s good Cali¡­ What did Rui say about it?" Shane asked, curious how Rui reacted because country A was quite a distance. "He''s okay with it and said he will support me in all my endeavors. I''m really excited to do it Shane. I might hire a help for you in our business instead because I found my great passion in this. You know the feeling of being one of the famous chefs! Oh, I can''t wait!" Cali enthusiastically blurted out. Shane laughed seeing how giddy Cali was in her new found dream. "Hmmm, good luck then sis but for the meantime go and see Dr. Dion immediately. I''m really worried about that pain you''re having in your head." Shane reminded, hoping it was just a usual headache despite recalling how her friend underwent major head surgery not long ago. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

Loud inhales and exhales were frequently heard inside the car by Lana and Chad. "Are you nervous?" Lana asked with a creased forehead. "Don''t be because you have me and Chad to back you up. Don''t you know that I never lose any case I handle, not even a single argument with anyone, ever since I got my license as a lawyer? Trust me on this one¡­ I will surely bring you home in one piece to be with your pregnant wife and you will have a peaceful family life ahead." Lana boastfully declared. Xander did not know whether to cry or laugh with Lana''s encouragement. Chad was the one who laughed and turned his head to look at the people sitting on the back seat, Lana and Xander. "That''s one good assurance, Lana," Chad complimented with a grin. Xander shook his head. This was the starting point of his real battle. He was nervous and pretty much so. He did not only want to avenge the brutal deaths of his mother and aunt, but also his brother who was close to him. He was also worried about his family waiting for him at plumeria island, his beautiful wife, father and of course his new mother who had been thoughtful towards him and his wife always. Everything together made him a little anxious, though he knew he must keep his mind at ease and attitude positive. Right now they were on their way to the private courtroom of Mirage Triad, the place where all the disputes between any of the three clans were heard by a judge and it was compulsory for them to abide by the decisions. Today was the commencement of the trial against Yun of Yue Clan and his crimes. He was the plaintiff and Yun was the defendant. They had put a lot of effort in making their case a strong one for Yun not to escape. They had met so many supporters of the original King who did not like the unethical way of working of the current leader and wanted their clan to reach the heights but ethically and not barbarically or like hooligans. So many people had given their statements, and some were even ready to be the witness when it came to testify Xander''s claim to the throne. And to their satisfaction all the evidence they held was pointing only towards Yun, King Marcus'' brother. Yun, who was also supposed to be his half grandfather. The courtroom of Mirage Triad was located at a secret place. Their transportation would also be handled confidentially in coordination with the Tai clan. Their car stopped at the meeting place where Xander and Lana would be handed over to Tai Clan''s security, who would lead them to the courtroom. "See you both in the courtroom. I''m just behind you guys," Chad reassured before Xander and Lana''s eyes were blindfolded to be shifted inside another car that would take them to one of the private areas of Mirage Triad where the trial would take place. After a couple of minutes, the car stopped. Xander and Lana were escorted inside the said courtroom under heavy security. As soon as they were inside the room, their blindfold was removed. Lana looked around and noticed that the room looked exactly like a real courtroom except that the security was very tight even inside the room. She glanced around to see who all were there and her eyebrows lifted seeing a familiar figure inside, who just like them had just been freed from the blindfold. ''So that''s what he meant?'' she mused with a crumpled face looking at aloofly standing Liam who was acting as if he did not even know her. ''See me soon, huh? So this is that soon?'' she silently grunted. Xander, on the other hand, looked around while they were guided to sit in their designated places. His eyes met an old man''s blazing eyes from the other side. The old man was glaring at him and Xander too gave him the same calculative, fierce stare back. He recognized that old man was Yun, since he already had their photos, including the photos of each Mirage Council that was seated at the side near the judge''s. Each Clan had two councils, so there were six councils before them that composed the judicial system. Those Councils would analyze all the facts presented by each party, and in the end they would vote if the defendant was guilty as charged before the judge concluded the final verdict. If the defendant was proven guilty, a punishment would be placed according to the Mirage Laws. Their complaint against Yun was punishable by death, by hanging, if proven guilty. Xander frowned, seeing the crazy grin on that old man Yun''s face. He looked so calculative and shrewd, as if he was not taking him seriously. ''Let''s see if you can still grin like that after the trial.'' Xander inwardly hissed. "All rise¡­" The judge soon entered Lana had heard of this judge during her internship. He was a retired chief justice of the supreme court of that country, the one who was known for being ''fearless''. He was also famous for his very unbiased judgements, and Lana adored the man for being an upright man during his service in the country. She had also heard that the old man always kept receiving death threats, but he was someone who was not afraid to die in his line of service. He had that famous line of ''death''s going to happen sooner or later. What matters is you do the right thing before death knocks on your door.'' "Wow Mirage Triad is interesting," Lana could not help but whisper to herself. She presumed they would often hire the judge for hearings and for special cases like this. Good thing that they hired a good reputed and unbiased one. "The defendant is accused of multiple murders of the family members for gaining power in the clan¡­" the house speaker started and called out for the representative of the plaintiff to begin by stating their accusations. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Support the author by donating at: paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Kindly read this novel at app & site only.

"With due regards to the Judiciary and the justice sitting in charge of the courtroom here, the first thing I want to present as the basis of my case is the letter left by my client''s mother which clearly states how Mr. Xander Yang was unknowingly connected with the Yue Clan by blood. This makes him the only alive true heir to the clan''s leadership, and that was something which made the accused try to kill my client several times which he escaped sometimes by his wit and sometimes by his luck.

Your honour, as everyone is aware of, the previous King Arthur the legitimate son and the pure blood king of Yue Clan bore twins, his twin daughters were Kanya and Kelly who everyone thought had died in an accident. But the truth was that the twins were not dead. Instead, they lived in silence and disguise peacefully in country V. They lived the life of an ordinary person and wanted to stay away from this world of chaos and crime. Eventually they met their partners and got married with them and Kelly bore a son named Bernard and Kanya bore a son as well who is Xander Yang." Lana started and introduced Xander to everyone as Kanya''s only living offspring. "As I''ve stated, the family of Mr. Yang lived harmoniously in a peaceful place until King Arthur, the twins'' father, died. And then began the tragic suffering and ruthless killings of King Arthur''s lineage to gain unhindered control of powers for misuse and crime..." Lana added. "I object, your honor," Lana''s face twitched hearing Liam, the lawyer representing Yun, interrupting her narration. But then she kept her cool, engraving Liam''s words to trust him. He kept repeating those words that night at Plumeria Island¡­ ''To trust him, whatever happens, and continue to fight for justice and what was right''. ''But why is he even representing the unjust side?'' Lana mused, but quickly cleared her thoughts from anything distracting to focus entirely on the trial. "The accusation laid by my opponents is absolutely baseless. It is nothing but just a fake story created by the plaintiff''s side. Those twins were not rumored to be dead, but they actually died in that accident and we also have evidence for the same, including their mortal remains. Here is a proof that the remains lying in the Yue Clan territory are of the twins, Kelly and Kanya." The defendant''s lawyer explained and presented the doc.u.ments on the projector. The judge looked at the councils and asked, "Did we validate the claim?" "The DNA result matched with the remains of the twins, your honor," one of the council members confirmed. Lana smirked and hissed, "Of course it''s going to match since the bodies at Yue Clan territory right now are the remains of the twins that Yun''s men stole from their original graveyards form the Yang and Cooper''s graveyards. We have all the evidence of their stealing, of course, but what you should check right now is the age of the remains that are present in the Yue Clan''s territory. Your honour, the defendant claimed that the twins died when they were around eighteen years old, but the forensic analysis of the skeletal remains of the twins in their possession right now says that the deceased were in their twenties when they died." Lana stated and presented the forensic reports with the DNA test results doc.u.ments in front of the court. Xander was absorbing everything in his heart. He was feeling a murderous aura surrounding him each time the tragedy with his mother was mentioned. He gritted his teeth, recalling how he lost his mother at such a young age to fulfill the l.u.s.t of power of some unethical persons . Lana then started putting in the evidence of Kelly''s murder, one of the twins, that was staged like a natural death during labor by that cruel Yun. She then presented a video left by the attending doctor of Kelly telling the whole mystery behind Kelly''s unnatural death, before the doctor died. In the video, the doctor was already very old and was crying profusely because Yun had instructed to pronounce the baby as still born and kill the newborn before anyone knew about it being alive, but her conscience could not allow her to do it even though she was threatened to do that. Yun, who thought everything that time was cleaned up well, was shocked to his core when he saw the well prepared and neatly presented case with unlimited evidence in the hands of his enemies. He cursed and winced in his seat multiple times. Their side had not ever expected the bomb Xander''s side had hurled at them. The lawyer from Yun''s side didn''t expect all that evidence and probably was not even aware of all such incidents and was kept in the dark about many of them. He could only glare at his own client for keeping him short of information. It was almost lunchtime when Lana presented her evidence of Kelly''s murder and then a break was announced, and the trial was postponed till after lunch. Xander and Lana were seated in a private room where Chad took care of their meals and accompanied them for lunch. "Hey, Lana, I saw that man at Plumeria island. Yun''s lawyer," Chad commented while they were eating. "Yeah¡­ He is really famous. Liam Sy. He''s actually Ryu''s cousin." Xander interrupted. He knew Liam by name and his connection with the Kens. The man must have his own reason for taking up Yun''s case. Lana was silent and felt the disdain in Xander''s voice for Liam. She hesitated for a while but then after a few minutes she said, "There must be a reason he is doing it, a valid reason for sure. He''s a very just man and will not take any crappy case from a monster without any reasonable cause¡­" Lana sighed, she knew her husband well. "Is he your boyfriend?" Chad teased. "Yeah¡­ you can say so...." Lana muttered. "What?!" Chad and Xander exclaimed in chorus. "Couples don''t only fight inside the closed walls, you know, and a couple in the same profession are at loggerheads many times in their working areas, more so if they are lawyers¡­" Lana commented in a jest. No one was aware she was married to Liam except her family and Liam''s family and given the contractual agreement between them, something which that rascal used to his convenience, she better not reveal their married status in front of everyone. "What kind of relationship is it between you that you both are at loggerheads with each other? Wait! Make sure you won''t lose to your boyfriend in this fight, Lana," Xander suddenly said in a worried tone that made Chad laugh hard. "Why are you laughing! Don''t you know Liam Sy? He could win even the most impossible cases that he takes up! He''s a veteran compared to Lana! To be honest, I first asked him to fight my case, but he turned me down." Xander mumbled, recalling how Liam turned down his request for an appointment. Lana''s lips pouted and said, "I told you I never have lost a case till now and am never gonna lose against Liam as well. Do I need to repeat that several times to make your trust?" Xander heaved a long deep sigh¡­ So far everything was going smoothly in their favor. "Maybe your boyfriend will let you win? Men often give way to their women, right?" Chad joked to kill the sudden tension in the air. Lana twitched her mouth. She too wondered if that would be the case. Liam was hiding something from her, and that was for sure. Chapter 453 - More Time After lunch, the trial continued. The next evidence Lana presented was the case of Xander''s mother''s death. She showed all the evidence they collected for another staged death that misled the investigation to cover up Yun''s involvement. "They took the opportunity to kill late Mrs. Kanya Yang while she was looking for the lost young Yera Han at that time in the woods. There were no reports of any crime at all in that place ever since. There was no history of any gang that had the murdering history, nor these things happened later, only one such incident. The area was secured during that time for the event that both families attended. Ms Yera Han was kidnapped and left in the jungle to suffer, and when Mrs. Kanya Yang followed one of the culprits in the jungle to save the little girl, she was killed brutally. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/more-time_%!d(string=46497324888811120) for visiting. My question is... Why would someone unrelated to the child get killed at that time when everyone was busy looking for the lost child who was kidnapped and abandoned in the jungle? Unless there is an intention to do so! They later claimed that the perpetrator of the crime was a crazy person and he later killed himself in his ward? Your honor, the family of the killer received a good amount of his insurance. Which insurance company pays compensation to a criminal? So here comes in play the mighty power of some behind the scene enemy. They said the family was innocent¡­ But is that true, really?" "Objection your honor!" Liam hindered Lana again. Another objection was heard inside the room, and Xander could see the grin on Yun''s face while Lana pursed her lips while she squinted her eyes at Liam''s direction. "Your honor. All the doc.u.ments of transfer of the insurance of the man are legit, which proves that the money all came from the insurance company. What''s the point of bringing up that issue when the case has already been closed for so many years? The perpetrator admitted his crime and killed himself to atone for it." Lana heard Liam blabbered. "Moreover, when the insurance was fully paid, the beneficiaries were the innocent family members of the murderer, not he himself," he added. He then contradicted Lana''s statement, presenting enough evidence of no connection of that murderer with Yun. Though Lana saw this coming already since Xander''s mother''s death had no concrete evidence to pinpoint everything to Yun. Xander was aware of it as well, but the pain of his death was very fresh in Xander''s memory still, and remembering his mother, his heart was filled with immense grief even to this day. "He''s really good," Chad could not help but mutter while he watched the two lawyers head to head, throwing their words defending each party they were handling. But Chad felt it was too awkward knowing the two lawyers were in a relationship battling inside the courtroom in the same case from opposite parties. Chad even cringed suddenly imagining Liam and Lana kissing inside the courtroom after hearing the result of the trial. His imaginations ran wild, and he simply imagined a hot passionate kiss between them. ''Yuck such gross!'' Chad mumbled, abruptly erasing such a silly scene in front of his eyes. Xander on the other hand could not help to control his tears from falling, while he pictured his mother being stabbed several times while struggling to save Yera to fall from a cliff. His mother was said to be a good fighter, but she was helpless at that time, as she was trying to save a child on one hand while fighting the murderer on the other. Xander''s fist balled tightly while he controlled the anger in his system. It did not matter if Yun won''t be proven guilty of his mother''s death as long as he would be sentenced to death for other crimes he committed and get eliminated so he could not do any more harm to anyone else especially the people he loved and his family! "Meeting adjourned." The judge announced while the house speaker relayed the next date for the trial to continue. Yun''s eyes shot a deadly stare on his lawyer and whispered, "What''s this?" Though they had a good fight towards the end of the date, still he felt that they were still left at a disadvantage in the overall proceedings of the trial. Liam furrowed his brows and muttered, "It''s not my fault that your men are incapable of fixing loopholes! I told you to be honest with me from the start so we can do amends, but you kept me in the dark about so many things! How can I defend you properly if you will not tell me what really happened in every accusation they throw into you? You only give me things to defend you! Like now? I''m not even aware you stole those damn corpses, that I don''t know how to support you on their claim on the ages the twins died. You asked me to handle your case, and I accepted, but you have to give your full trust on me regarding this or else I will miss little details that might be really important to defend you. If you can''t trust me, then might as well get another lawyer to defend you Mr. Yun." Yun''s facial muscle flinched. He was not stupid enough to admit all those crimes he committed to anyone else except for his brother. Why would he tell this bastard everything? All the things he did, he would bring it to his own grave without admitting to anyone about any to it. He asked for the best lawyer to defend him and it was said to be Liam Sy. Indeed he did not give Liam enough details about everything because he simply did not trust anyone. Yes, he asked Liam''s help, knowing he was related with the Kens. The Kens who took care of Xander''s wife while she had amnesia. "Make me win this case Attorney Sy at any cause using just all things I''m providing you with. You know what will happen if I go down in this fight¡­ I will surely pull you down with me and trust me you won''t like the end result of it¡­" Yun chided with a meaningful smirk. He had his own reasons on why he chose Liam to defend his case. "You have to cooperate with me well Mr. Yun if you want to win this case. As I''ve said, I''m afraid you have incompetent men and resources. In the next hearing, they will bring the accusation about Bernard Cooper''s death. Are you sure you have already provided me enough details?" Liam grunted with a creased forehead. "Wait for me to contact you, Attorney Sy," Yun said before leaving his lawyer to the Tai clan security who started blindfolding Liam once more to bring him out of the Judicial area of Mirage Triad. Liam''s jaw tightened. He needed more time. He shifted his gaze to Lana and Xander''s direction, who were being blindfolded too. Lana turned and their eyes met. Liam gave her his sweetest and endearing smile before whispering, "I love you." Lana''s eyes rounded while she read his lips. Did she read it right? But before she could react, the blindfold already covered her eyes, blocking her vision of Liam. . . **** Author''s Note: Read Lana and Liam''s love story by searching and adding the title "LOVING A HEARTLESS LAWYER" at @ APP/site...

Thanks.xoxo Chapter 454 - Maximum Of One Week At Life Hospital Cali got her tests done and then after two days went back to the hospital for the result of her CT scan and followed up with a check-up with Dion. She forgot about it but Dion kept on calling her to go and see him. "How come you''re such a nagger doctor." Cali mumbled as soon as she entered Dion''s clinic. Dione heaved a long sigh seeing her. He had a long face and looked very worried while looking at Cali. "Did you keep a log of how frequent you are having a headache and rate the intensity and how long it lasted? And how often do you forget things in a day?" Dion started and Cali grabbed the pad Dion gave her. "Here doc." Dion looked at it with a serious face. He rarely accepted patients since he was more focused in running the business but Cali was a special case. He forwarded her result to her sister as well to hear her comment. Cali pouted her lips and mumbled, "You''re making me nervous with that serious face of yours. Is it that bad?" Dion paused for some time and looked at Cali. "Cali, I''m sorry but we saw a clot in the CT scan." Dion started and showed her the picture while he explained everything to her. Cali was stunned when she heard the details and felt really sad for the strange turn of events. She had barely started living her life. Imagining the sad faces of her grandfather, nanny Shine and specially Rui made her feel depressed. "Are you saying that there''s also no assurance of being normal once you operate and remove that clot?" Cali whispered. "It''s a fifty fifty chance, Cali." Dion replied. His eyes were full of sympathy for the sad result he had to relay to a good friend. Cali glanced at the ceiling trying to hold back the tears that were filling in from her eyes. She could imagine the worried face of Rui in front of her eyes and that broke her heart. She felt her whole world crumble at that moment. "So if I don''t get the operation done I will die? Basically, if I want to have another chance to live¡­ I need that operation, but still there''s a fifty percent possibility that I might have extreme side effects like memory problems impaired speech, coordination, balance or worst won''t live, die as well along the run?" Cali murmured, stuttering. "Cali, please don''t lose hope. My sister will do the operation on you and I''m sure Everything will be fine Cali," Dion comforted. "Can you keep this up to you please Dion? I mean from Rui? Please don''t tell him about this¡­ I beg you." Cali hysterically pleaded. Dion did not answer and kept staring at her, so Cali grabbed his hands and gently pressed it while she kept on begging him to keep it a secret from everyone, especially Rui. "Please Dion¡­ Let me be the one to tell it to Rui?" Cali repeated. "Alright I will not say a word to Rui but your grandpa should at least know about it today itself." Dion insisted. "Alright you can tell my grandpa about it but not to Rui. I will also talk to grandpa not to tell Rui. Promise me Dion!" "Calm down Cali okay. I promise I will not tell Rui." Dion assured her and helped Cali to calm down. "Dion¡­ Is it possible for me to spend more time with my grandpa, nanny Shine and Rui? How long do I have, I mean how many more days can I wait for the surgery?" Cali asked with a weary tone. "Cali, you need an operation as soon as possible." "Dion, please give me a few days. At least let me live one day for each of my family members!" Cali pleaded. Dion exhaled loudly and said, "I can give you only a maximum of one week before I want you in my OT, Cali." "Thank you. My grandpa is in his office, right?" Cali then asked, staring in a particular direction. "Yes." Dion answered. Mr. Lua had been assisting him well in handling the group. The old man was too happy with his current life, content with how Cali surpassed death and was living well and happy with him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/maximum-of-one-week_%!d(string=46497328110036607) for visiting. Dion nodded when Cali bid him her farewell. He heaved a long frustrated sigh watching Cali''s back, but she almost tripped nearing the door so Dion immediately rushed towards her. "I''m okay Dion. Just that I feel my knees are suddenly weak," Cali whispered with a faint smile. How she hoped that she was only dreaming and having a nightmare which would end when Rui would wake her up and greet her good morning with his bright smile complaining how lazy headed she was. Cali walked with heavy footsteps towards her grandfather''s office but those footsteps were still light compared how heavy laden her heart was at that moment. She sat on the nearest bench and tried to compose herself first. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialed Rui''s number. Rui excitedly answered. "Are you done? I''m on my way to pick you up." "Uhm, yeah. I''m on my way to grandpa. I would like to have dinner with him and nanny Shine. Tonight, I will sleep at our house and call you tomorrow. See you tomorrow." Cali murmured before ending the call because her voice was starting to grumble. Then she dialed nanny Shine''s number so she could get ready and head to the restaurant she would book. Once again, she looked up, hoping tears would not fall from her eyes. She took out the mirror from her purse and checked her swollen eyes. She stayed on the seat for quite some time and then quickly retouched her eye makeup to hide the swelling under her eyes due to crying. After sometime, Cali stood up and headed into her grandfather''s cabin. She paused for a long time outside the door of his cabin and tried to lessen the pain in her heart and smile as she reached her grandfather''s office. Cali gulped, inhaled and exhaled loudly before curving up her lips in her most lovable and sweetest smile as she opened the door. "Grandpa!" she enthusiastically burst. Mr. Lua was startled with the sudden appearance of his granddaughter. "Cali, what are you doing here?" He asked. Cali wrinkled her nose and with pouted lips muttered, "How come you don''t look happy to see me? Stop working and let''s eat together with nanny Shine. Come let''s go and I will treat you both with a super nice dinner." Chapter 455 - What’s Going On? Cali kept staring at her grandfather and nanny Shine for a long time while eating. "Dear why are you not eating?" Mr. Lua asked, noticing Cali had not touched her food yet. Cali smiled and said, "Oh, seeing you both eating heartily makes me feel full already. Grandpa, how about we all go for a vacation?" "Oh, yes, that would be really nice." Mr. Lua commented with a smile. Cali put more dishes on their plates as she commented, "Come to think of it. I''ve been a negligent granddaughter towards both of you. I haven''t even served you like this before¡­" Nanny Shine''s forehead furrowed, and she exchanged a meaningful glance with Mr. Lua. Both of them felt something weird was going on with Cali so Mr. Lua asked, "Cali is there something wrong?" Cali smiled and shook her head as she began eating her food. After dinner, Cali went home with them. She was already in her room when Rui called. "Are you home already?" Rui asked from the other line. "Yes. Why? Do you miss me?" Cali teased. Her eyes were starting to well up again with the tears that had stubbornly built up inside it. Her heart ached so much. "Yes¡­ Badly. I''m actually standing outside your home. Do you think you can spare me some minutes from your tight schedule and allow me to see you just for a while before I go to sleep?" She heard Rui asked. Cali''s tears started to swim in her eyes. There was silence for a while and she heard Rui ask, "Cali? Are you still there?" "Do you want to sleep in my room?" Cali said in a little stuttering voice, because she was controlling her sobbing. She heard Rui laugh before responding, "I would love that Cali¡­" "Sorry Rui¡­ but lets stay away for tonight. I also wish to see you as well, but I''m actually not feeling well. How about we meet tomorrow? I will definitely see you tomorrow once I feel better." Cali said in a little cracking voice. She was not ready to face Rui because tonight she felt like sobbing till she fell asleep. She was not sure about her plan of things with regards to Rui. Would it be right if she told him the truth or not? "Alright, you rest now sweetheart and I''ll see you tomorrow." she heard Rui breath dejectedly. "Sorry Rui. Please be home safely. Goodnight." Cali said before ending the call. As soon as the call ended, Cali cried her heart out. She wanted to be in his arms right then, but didn''t want to hurt him by telling her plight. She knew she could get solace with him around, but would he not be worried sick if he knew she was unwell? How would he live if something happened to her, and what if she died¡­ Would he be broken if she died? Would he meet someone again to look after him and feel happy ever again? Her thoughts were filled only with Rui and how gradually and step by step she had made a place in his heart and his life. How broken his heart was and how lonely his life had been before her. She didn???t want him to have such a life again. She wanted to live¡­ live for her grandfather and most importantly for the love of her life¡­ for Rui... Rui, inside his car, bit his lips and put his hand in his pocket and brought out a small box from it. He smiled contentedly as he opened it. He was planning to confess and propose his feelings to Cali as soon as possible, but he wanted to make everything romantic and perfect. He remembered how Cali pursued him and made efforts to soften his heart for their relationship, how he rejected his own feelings for her and hurt her by keeping distant. But finally, she was able to win him over, and all his guards failed against her. Today, he was head over heels in love with her and couldn''t live a single day without her. He had developed deep feelings for her and finally he had decided to confess to his little girlfriend. Initially, he was planning to do it in his house with a candlelight dinner but he felt like it was too cliche so he was actually busy in thinking how to make it more unique. He still had a few things with him that he wanted to use for a confession that night, but since Cali had denied coming out, he was a little upset because his plans were foiled. "She seemed fine this morning," Rui mumbled. He was missing Cali dearly since he did not see her after he left her this morning. He glanced at the back seat where he put the flowers, cake and chocolates that he brought for Cali. A grin appeared on his inspired face as he dialed nanny Shine''s number. Rui was already at Mr. Lua''s doorsteps when nanny Shine opened the door for him. "Ohh¡­" nanny Shine gasped happily seeing the beautiful flowers Rui bought for Cali. "Oh, that''s really sweet of you Rui. Go now in her room¡­ She will be so happy and surprised to see you." Nanny Shine excitedly mumbled and almost pushed Rui to proceed to Cali''s room. Rui smiled while he walked towards Cali''s room. He slowly opened the doorknob and quietly entered. But his heart raced hearing the sobbing sound coming from Cali, so he hurriedly walked towards her bedroom. He saw Cali on her bed, crouching, hugging her bended knees as he heard her cry. He ran to her side, kept everything in his hands on the side table and sat down on the side of the bed and asked, "Cali, what''s going on?" Rui whispered. He was so worried. Cali lifted her head up and was in great horror seeing Rui in front of her. "Rui? What are you doing here?" Cali whispered, still in shock.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/what%E2%80%99s-going-on_%!d(string=46497333227086598) for visiting. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 456 - Do Together "I wanted to surprise you¡­ but why are you crying? What''s going on, Cali? Please tell me what''s wrong?" Rui muttered while his hand slid in her hair as he tried to comfort her. He was in pain seeing Cali in tears. "Did I do something to upset you, sweetheart? Please tell me. I won''t ever repeat it again, but don''t cry like this. I can''t see you in tears. Please tell me what happened!" He wiped the tears away from her cheeks and saw Cali shake her head, and then she broke in a smile when she looked at the flowers and chocolates he put on her bedside table. "That¡­ You like sweets... so I brought it all for you, and then I realized that I haven''t ever given you any flowers so I bought all this at noon to give to you¡­" Rui explained and pulled Cali in his warm embrace. She also instinctively wrapped her arms around him and felt herself relax in his arms. He gently caressed her back and said, "Whatever it is that''s bothering you, Cali, I want you to tell it to me. I am not just your fiance, but a friend as well. We are in this together, whatever it be. The same goes for me, Cali. I''m willing to share everything with you whether it is happy or sad times. I love you, Cali, and I want to be a part of every moment of you¡­ I want to be with you at all times, especially during your tough times, so please tell me what is going on, and why are you crying?" Cali started bawling again, hearing his heartwarming words, especially the three words she did not expect she would hear from him so soon. Rui said, ''I Love You''. Cali broke free from his hug and muttered, "You love me?" Somehow she wanted to hear Rui say the words again. "Yes, Cali. I love you, and I want to marry you immediately. Actually, I had different plans for tonight. At first, I thought to give you only the chocolates and flowers, and later prepare something special for a proper confession, but now I have changed my plans. Seeing you crying like this, I feel like I should first make you feel secure so you would trust me enough and tell me everything." Rui confessed and picked out the small box from his pocket. He opened it and took the ring out. Cali could not help the flooding tears that continuously fell down her cheeks while she watched Rui put the ring on her finger. "It''s beautiful¡­ I love it Rui. I love you." Cali burst out and quickly hugged Rui. Maybe she was wrong in thinking about hiding everything from Rui. She was too scared, but she now felt relaxed and safe in Rui''s arms. "Cali. You''re scaring and worrying me¡­ Please tell me, why are you crying?" Rui again asked. "I''m scared Rui¡­ I don''t want to lose you. I don''t want to leave Grandpa and Nanny Shine this early." Cali whispered. Rui felt his heart sink. Cali''s words were terrifying. Something was going on with her that he didn''t know about. He hugged her tightly and kissed the side of her head. Stroking her back, he let her vent out for a while, and then pushed her a little to look at her face. "Tell me, Cali, what is it? I''m here with you, and I will stay forever by your side, Cali. Don''t be scared. I''m at your side, and we will battle everything together." Rui asked Cali, encouraging her to tell him what happened. "I was experiencing a headache for a few days, and Shane suggested that I go for a checkup. I went to Dion and got all my tests done. They found a clot in my head and I would need another surgery to remove it. Dion gave me a week before we''ll have the surgery. The success rate is fifty-fifty. I''m scared, Rui. I''m scared that I may end up not remembering you, or at worst, dying¡­" Cali wept. Rui controlled his emotions and tried his best not to appear discouraged. He stroked Cali''s hair and whispered, "What are you saying? The operation will surely be a success, and we will grow old together with little Rui and little Cali, so don''t be scared. We still have a lot of things to do together, sweetheart." Cali felt at ease, hearing those words from Rui. She felt his words boosted enough courage in her to be optimistic and ready to handle the situation. They stayed there for quite some time, and Rui cuddled her closely in his warm embrace. Deep inside him, Rui felt weak and broken. He couldn''t shed a single tear as he had to be her pillar of strength, but his heart was crying, and an ominous feeling had started enveloping his heart. Even a single day was impossible for him to live without her, and when he heard the possibility of losing Cali, it was too devastating for him to bear, but he needed to be strong, and show Cali that everything would be okay. "How about we marry as early as tomorrow?" Rui suddenly heard Cali whisper. "I wanted to do everything that I love to do before I have my operation, Rui, and one thing I would love to do the most is to get married to you¡­ And be your wife¡­" Cali confidently stated because it was honestly the first thing she wanted to do. "Alright sweetheart, let''s do that first thing tomorrow. Tell me everything, and I will grant all your wishes. Just make sure you won''t cry and get scared like this anymore. I want a fighter wife, so you must fight to live and bear me many children in the future. I want a big family, so the more kids the better." Rui added with a tease. Cali gently pulled herself to look at Rui properly and said, "How about you sleep here and give me a lullaby?" Rui pulled her once more into his warmth and replied, "Sure, sweetheart. Please put your heartbeat at ease and try to sleep. You have to keep yourself healthy and strong. I will stay here with you and sing you a lullaby. This is one of my favorite songs, sweetheart, and I really want to sing it to you." Cali smiled and asked, "What''s the song?" "Fly me to the moon, sweetheart." Cali closed her eyes and said, "Let me hear it¡­" Rui began to hum and sing..

Rui''s tears fell without him knowing, and he was glad that Cali was already asleep. "I love you, sweetheart," he whispered before giving Cali a sweet, gentle kiss. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 457 - Your Strength Cali woke up in Rui''s embrace. They both fell asleep cuddling each other. She dwelled on Rui''s facial features. There could be a possibility of losing her memories after the operation. She touched Rui''s face and murmured, "I hope it won''t come to that point¡­ But should that happen, my heart¡­ please make sure you absolutely remember my love for my Rui. Never forget him and his touch." She took her time in memorizing Rui''s facial features with her hand. She traced it with her eyes closed and stopped at his lips. "Sweetheart, what are you doing?" Cali heard Rui whisper, so she quickly opened her eyes. She smiled, seeing the sluggish look of her fiance. "Nothing¡­ Just checking if I could recognize you with my eyes closed and telling my heart to remember your touch and never forget you. I don''t want to forget you, Rui." Cali breathed with a quirky grin.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/your-strength_%!d(string=46707962181378162) for visiting. "By the way, aren''t you uncomfortable? Wait¡­" Cali commented upon noticing Rui was still wearing his necktie. She rose up and removed his necktie. Then she opened up his sleeves, unbuttoning two buttons initially¡­ But her hands continued to unbutton him up to the last one. "What are you doing Cali?" Rui, in his hoarse voice, asked. Cali did not answer but touched his chest instead. Her hands caressed his bare skin and her hand started moving up and down. She pulled Rui a bit to completely remove his shirt. "I want to feel your warmth," Cali whispered as she unbuckled his pants next. Rui watched her remove everything out of him. He was powerless to her charm and especially when he knew she was deeply insecure and emotionally unstable, he easily gave in to each of her demands and actions. His breathing was ragged while his eyes remained connected with Cali. He was already hard when Cali removed the last piece in his body. He watched Cali remove her clothes next. Then she crawled on top of him, feeling his warmth. Cali''s head rested on Rui''s chest, hearing his heartbeat. "It''s beating loudly." Cali remarked with a grin. "Do you hear it shouting some words?" Rui asked while he gently stroked Cali''s hair. "What words?" Cali asked. "I love you, Cali Lua." Rui replied. Cali tilted her head and looked at Rui in a serious face. "I want to make love with you, Rui¡­ Can we consummate our marriage in advance?" Cali timidly asked for permission. Her face was deep red. Rui chuckled and teased, "Oh no wonder¡­ you made us both n.a.k.e.d and yet I thought you only needed a little warmth from me." "Can''t you see your chopper standing tall, poking at me? He was answering on your behalf." Cali answered in a jest. Rui, without answering, rolled over and placed Cali underneath him. He gave her a gentle kiss on every part of her face while saying, "I love this¡­" then followed by, "I love everything on you Cali." Cali lovingly smiled and pulled him for a deep passionate kiss. She had limited time to spend with Rui, and she did not want to waste even a single precious moment of her life. She had an ominous feeling like she would soon receive a major sentence in her life so she must live her life to the fullest. No more inhibitions. She let herself be consumed by the burning passion of Rui''s love. She wanted Rui to own her fully¡­ She wanted to give him everything she had while she could. She was glad Rui no longer contemplated and embarked with her on a journey to be united as one. There was no part of her body that Rui spared from showering with his ardent kisses. She loved it, hearing those words¡­ "I love you" repeatedly. Soon she felt the sudden sharp pain when Rui finally entered her opening. They were now one. A union that Cali would treasure in her memories forever... There was immense pain at first, the act of offering herself to him, her declaration of her pure love for him. Something that Rui never asked for, but she wanted to give him. After a few moments of sharp pain came the pleasure of being one together¡­ The pleasure of being bonded with Rui, the bond between both body and soul, was too good to be true for her. "I love you, Rui." Cali cried in climax while her nails dug on the skin of his back. She met his rhythm of love and danced with Rui''s movements as they both reached the highest peak of their union. Cali''s eyes were swelling while tears consciously fell from them. She was overjoyed. She wanted that feeling to last forever¡­ She wanted Rui to stay by her side. ''Oh God, please¡­ Let me live more to be with Rui¡­ Please dear God give me more time to be with him. I beg you¡­'' Cali silently pleaded while she hugged Rui tightly who remained on top of her. She knew¡­ Rui was crying as well. She could hear his little controlled sobbing in the crook of her neck. "Cali, you have to be strong for your grandpa, for nanny Shine and for me." She heard Rui whisper in her ear after sometime. "I will¡­" Cali muttered. They stayed like that for a long time. Cali did not mind Rui''s weight on top of her. She loved his scent and warmth. "Are you still scared?" Cali heard Rui asked next. He moved out on top of her and pulled the comforter to cover Cali''s n.a.k.e.d body as he snuggled on her side and hugged her closer to him. "Now I feel like I can conquer the world Rui. Thank you for giving me strength. I''m no longer scared because you will be my strength." Cali genuinely declared. "Yes, I will remain to be your strength Cali for our lifetime¡­" Rui responded before sealing Cali''s lips with hers. "Did I hurt you too much?" Rui asked. "Nope. It''s not that hurting. It feels good making love to the man I love." Cali bashfully whispered. Her face turned so red afterwards, hearing Rui''s crisp chuckle. "Rest now because we have an interminable day tomorrow, sweetheart." Rui whispered and Cali nodded. The next day would definitely be a long day¡­ Cali sighed at the thought of her grandfather and nanny Shine. The two of them would surely get their heart broken once they heard the news about her surgery. Chapter 458 - Beat Only For Him The next morning, Rui took the initiative and informed grandpa Lua and nanny Shine about Cali''s current condition. Cries from nanny Shine and grandpa Lua filled the living room. Grandpa Lua couldn''t support himself and fell down on the sofa "My dear child. Oh, my poor child¡­" grandpa Lua cried, hugging Cali tightly while he stroked her hair. Nanny Shine''s heart was aching too much for Cali, who was like a daughter to her. "Grandpa¡­ your granddaughter will fight like a strong girl so please stop crying. Besides, we should prepare now. Please accompany me at the registrar''s office." Cali murmured. Grandpa Lua gently pushed her, then looked at Rui in a bewildered state. "Yes sir. I want to marry your granddaughter before she has the surgery." Rui finally informed Cali''s family. Grandpa Lua nodded while nanny Shine pulled Cali back to her room to prepare Cali for the wedding. "Sorry if it''s a bit rushed sir¡­ I will give Cali a grand wedding ceremony as soon as she recuperates from the surgery. There is limited time to prepare for it and Cali must have the surgery as soon as possible." Rui added. He had already talked to Dion, who explained to him everything about Cali''s condition. He wanted Cali to have the operation as soon as she was ready mentally, physically and emotionally. Time was very crucial for her at that point, so he would not allow her to wait more than a week. "Rui you should start calling me grandpa from now on and not sir. Thank you so much for staying beside Cali and doing this much for her. I really appreciate this," grandpa Lua commented and understood Rui''s meaning. After some time everyone was ready to leave. Cali went out and asked for Rui, seeing his grandfather was alone waiting in the living room. "He left first to change his clothes and we''ll just meet him there. You look so great, dear. Rui is so lucky to have such a beautiful bride," grandpa Lua commented, admiring the beauty of his granddaughter. Without his knowing, tears streamed out of his eyes. Cali, with hazy eyes, walked towards her grandfather and hooked her arms on his to pull him out their house. "Grandpa stop crying, please. Let''s go now and not keep Rui waiting for too long." Cali commented, guiding him inside their car. Nanny Shine who was also crying followed from behind. Her dear child was all grown up now and would soon have her own family. She only hoped that everything goes well for Cali after the surgery. She quickly wiped the tears that came out from her eyes when Cali turned around at her. "Nanny Shine¡­ You too please don''t cry. This is a happy day so all of us should smile," Cali encouraged and nanny Shine wanted to slap herself because it was too hard for her to contain her emotions and she bet Cali''s grandfather was going through the same.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/beat-only-for-him_%!d(string=46707966744780956) for visiting. "Child, these tears you see from me and your grandpa are tears of so much joy because we are too happy for your big day." Nanny Shine stated as she entered the van to join them. Soon the van stopped and Cali''s eyebrows crumpled, seeing it did not stop at the registrar''s office but in front of a church. "Why here?" Cali looked at her grandfather, who also did not understand why they stopped there. "Rui wanted to give you a memorable wedding and not just to register your marriage in the registrar''s office. He asked my help to instruct our driver to drive in this place, saying he wanted to give you a surprise church wedding. Let''s go out, Cali. He''s already inside, waiting." Nanny Shine explained. Cali went out and was escorted by her grandfather inside¡­ She gasped when the door opened up for her. The insides of the church were breathtaking and beautifully decorated with varieties of flowers, but what surprised Cali most was seeing her closest friends inside, anticipating her walk on the aisle. Rui was waiting there for her in his creamy white suit and pants. He looked so handsome and manly that Cali could not believe she did succeed in conquering the heart and finally be the woman of the man of her dreams. He was smiling brightly, not leaving eye contact between them. Cali smiled as well to him, a smile of contentment and so much joy that was even brighter than the shining sun. She might have a tough fight ahead, but she was lucky to have someone like Rui by her side. No matter how tough it would be, Cali was confident she could succeed them all. ''Oh God¡­. Please let me not forget him.'' Cali prayed. Then she again inwardly talked to her heart, ''Even though my brain, head and memories forget everything about him¡­ But please my dear heart, make sure you never forget my Rui and beat only for him¡­ no one else.'' Rui sighed blissfully, seeing Cali walk down the aisle. She wore a beautiful creamy white, off the shoulder lace midi dress that showed her perfectly sculpted body and lovely slender legs. Dion had told him about the high possibility of Cali forgetting a part of or her complete memories, should she successfully surpass the operation. He did not care whether she forgot about him. What matters was Cali must live, even if it means that she would totally forget him. He made a vow that should Cali forget about him, he would not stop in making her recall about him no matter how hard that would be. He would endure and give her fresh memories of him until her heart could recognize him again. He felt he was on cloud nine because the beautiful woman walking towards him was his¡­ his woman... and would soon become his official wife now¡­. The love of his life... his wife... ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 459 - In Your Arms Cali knew she was being redundant about it already, but she still included it during her vows, "My heart would never forget you and it would always be yours forever." She was crying hard and Rui cupped her face, gently caressing her cheeks and wiping her tears away. "Cali Lua, no matter what comes our way, I will stand beside you always and never leave. Through thick and thin, for richer and for poorer, till death do us part¡­ I love you dearly, sweetheart, more than you have ever known. Thank you for making me the happiest man alive in this world by marrying me." Rui stutteringly voiced out while his eyes also flooded with tears like Cali. The ceremony went so well, and everyone among the few selected guests saw how the couple lovingly exchanged their vows. "Shine¡­ My baby girl is now a grown-up lady and will soon have her own family. She''s too nice¡­ Why can''t it just be me who takes all the suffering and not her?" Grandpa Lua pleaded. "Be strong please for Cali. We should not show her we are broken. Let her see how we are handling everything strongly for her as her pillar," Nanny Shine encouraged and comforted grandpa Lua. Grandpa Lua understood her reasons and tried to control himself from shedding more tears. "I pronounce you husband and wife." The preacher finally said and Rui lovingly took his wife for a swift passionate kiss. Shane, who was with Josh, hugged Cali tightly after the ceremony. She was already aware of Cali''s situation and cried all night. That day, she only had smiles all over her face to show Cali how happy she was for her friend and blood sister. "Congratulations sis. I''m really happy for you, sis." She mumbled and gently caressed Cali''s back. She really tried hard to control it, but the tears still fell from her eyes. "Sis, I''m always here for you. Me and Josh will stay here at the Capital City and wait for you after your surgery, so please fight and be strong." Shane muttered in a cracked voice. Cali gently nuzzled her friend to look at her face and said with pouty lips, "Stop crying then and once I recover¡­ We will have a group date with our husbands." Shane nodded and wiped her tears. Dion and Rizie who were also there came forward and congratulated the newly wed. "Cali, you look so beautiful and congratulations." Rizie muttered and hugged Cali. Dion heaved a long sigh before greeting the newlywed. Cali''s surgery was scheduled the next day. His sister Yera would fly from Plumeria to Yang Globals in a private helicopter tomorrow early morning to perform the surgery as the head surgeon with him as her assistant. He was sympathizing with Rui, who looked so happy while thanking everyone who shared that special moment with him. The couple and the guests directly went into a private restaurant reserved by Rui to share lunch together. After eating lunch, Rui once again thanked everyone and bid farewell as well to take off first with Cali. "We have limited time, but I want to take you to a nice place for a honeymoon." Rui helplessly muttered while he took Cali in his house to rest and prepare for her operation the next day. "There''s no nicer place for me Rui than in your arms," Cali bashfully murmured. Rui hugged her tightly, hoping he could stop the time at that moment. ***** At Plumeria Island, Yera prepared to leave. Rui, who was more like a brother to her husband, must be so brokenhearted. So she had set her mind and body for the surgery to save Cali no matter what. Her mobile phone rang and it was Xander. "Darling, are you sure about this?" He asked. The news about Cali already reached him. "Yes, darling¡­ I can save Cali. Don''t worry I''m well fit to travel. I know my body¡­ earlier when I had to operate on you, it was hard because I was mentally and emotionally distressed because it was you I needed to save that time." Yera reassured Xander who understood her well. "By the way, how''s everything there?" Yera asked and Xander informed her the next trial would be in two days. "Hang in there. Everything will finish soon," Yera encouraged. "I miss you and our babies. Please make sure you will not exert yourself too much in the operating room," Xander still reminded. It was for Rui, so he allowed his wife to do the surgery herself. "Don''t worry, Dion has my back well plus Dr. Gong is there as well. Your wife will do her best to save the love of your brother." Yera answered with a smile. "Alright darling. Zach would keep you safe in terms of security. I have to end the call now, darling¡­ I love you so much." Xander breathed. "I love you too¡­" Yera responded before the call ended. While waiting for Zach and the team, Yera once again looked at Cali''s result. She heaved a long sigh, grateful that her husband''s head injury did not have any complications. She felt bad for Cali though, that she had to go through another complicated surgery. Yera gently caressed her tummy and murmured, "Babies, you cheer mommy later, okay? Give me enough strength to save your aunt Cali." Yera heard knockings on the door, and it was mom Liz. "Are you set?" Mom Liz asked, and Yera nodded. "You father was worried so we will come along with you dear." Mom Liz informed. "But I will return soon mom Liz¡­" "Yeah, but you see how protective he is of your condition that he even talks to Dion to make sure you will not overexert yourself inside the OR." Mom Liz narrated. She even copied her father''s tone that made Yera chuckled. Her father-in-law was so strict who kept on reminding her what to do and not to do. He was like an alarm clock for Yera. Also, he was very watchful on her diet.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/in-your-arms_%!d(string=46707970234441921) for visiting.

Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 460 - Are You Ready For Some Killing? At Yang Globals Hospital. The helicopter landed at the rooftop of Yang Globals hospital late in the evening. Yera stepped down, paused, and looked at the city buzz from the rooftop of Yang Globals hospital. It had been a while since she last saw the busy lights of the Capital City. Her relaxed life at plumeria island was so much different from the buzzing life of the city. "Babies, we''re back¡­ I think I have gotten used to seeing more trees and beaches already¡­ I''ve missed the beautiful lights of the city from this view." Yera murmured while she gently caressed her now growing belly. It was bigger than the normal because she was carrying triplets. She smiled at the thought of how her father-in-law would always boast about how his son managed to win over Keira''s twins. "Dear, let''s go?" Yera felt mom Liz tugging on her arm, taking her towards the elevator to head to Xander''s office directly where Yera would rest. Her in-laws went down to grab some coffee. Inside Xander''s office, she was watching a few surgery videos and reading a few details of some cases that had the same complications as Cali when the security looking after her at the door informed her that Rui wanted to see her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/are-you-ready-for-some-killing_%!d(string=46707974529409283) for visiting. Rui immediately entered when the security opened the door for him, and Yera offered him some tea. She looked at the worried face of Rui, who was a jolly person like her husband, with empathy. She could see the dark circles under his eyes. She could clearly tell he was nervous and weary. "Get some rest, Rui." She could not help but comment. She could tell that Rui had cried for so long because of his bulging eyes. "Thank you so much Yera for doing this." Rui, with eyes full of gratitude, uttered in a cracked voice. Yera could feel the heaviness of his heart because she knew well how he felt at that moment. It was hard for him, the feeling that you could do nothing knowing someone you love would undergo such surgery. "It''s nothing Rui so don''t worry. We will do our best to save Cali and bring your wife back to you well and healthy. You guys are our family Rui. Stay strong for Cali..." Yera reassured and also advised Rui to keep on praying for the success of the surgery. "Cali?" Yera asked. "She''s in her room already¡­" Rui answered. "I will go see her then." Yera said, and Rui nodded. Rui guided her to Cali''s room so Yera could check on her. Dion, who was at the nurse station, accompanied her along with the nurses. When Yera entered, Cali greeted her and hugged her tightly. "Thank you," Cali whispered. She was aware of Yera''s condition and how important it was for her to be safe, but still Yera travelled to do the surgery on her. "It''s been a while¡­ Are you nervous?" Yera asked Cali as she gently broke free from the hug. Cali shook her head and said, "Nope, because I know you''ll do great." Yera chuckled and said, "You must do well too, Cali." Cali nodded, and Yera asked the nurse to see Cali''s chart. "You are all set for tomorrow. Right now just rest well and relax Cali." Yera muttered with a wink. She was glad to see Cali was physically, emotionally and mentally prepared for the surgery. ******** At Yue Clan Territory. "Boss, Xander''s wife, has arrived at Yang Globals hospital to perform a surgery," Mr. Long reported. They had found out already that Yera was staying at Plumeria Island, but it was quite hard for them to get inside there with enough manpower to break the high security level on the island. "Make sure you''ll be able to get her Long. I want her in our hands. Xander is preparing to spill more strong evidence in the next trial, and with his wife in our hands, he would surely back out with all those accusations." Yun rescinded before blowing out smoke in his mouth from his tobacco. Yun could feel that Xander was up to something that could give him a great disadvantage in the trial. The worst part was that the judge was a real impartial one and laying a hand on that judge was akin to asking for an open war with both other clans, something Yun could not afford to let happen. He wanted to live and rule¡­ not die like a wild dog. Yun looked at Dalgon next and asked, "Have you found out what they''ve been hiding in their facility at country U? I heard Xander visited there often and there were a lot of transactions pumping money for some special reason in their laboratory there." "Yes, there''s an unidentified patient and we''re still trying to gain more information about the patient and his condition. The security in the laboratory is top-notch Boss. It''s hard to gather enough information." Dalgon explained. Yun looked at his two most trusted men and hissed, "If you two disappoint me at this¡­ You very well know how you will end up¡­ I don''t keep useless people around me and those who know my secrets can not live outside, so if you two want to stay alive make sure you do things properly!" "I want Yera in my hands and whatever it is Xander was keeping in that darn laboratory of his, I have to know about it before the next trial!!!!" he yelled with a clenched jaw. The next trial could be the last one before the judge came up with his final decision, and before he is proven guilty, he must have some advantageous points in his hands that he could use as insurance for his life. From his room, Tyron watched the conversation between Yun and his men and quickly relayed it to Raine, informing her that Yera would be in danger inside Yang Global hospitals. Raine was tailing Yera closely because Yera was the most precious person in Xander''s life. Whoever was able to capture her and get a hold of Yera''s life could manipulate Xander''s life and his each decision easily. Raine, who was resting in one of her secret places, called her pet, "Draki!" The handsome wolf ran towards her, and Raine smiled. "Are you ready for some killing? Or should I just leave you here?" she whispered, enthusiastically playing with her pet. She opened the wide-screen on her place and everything that was happening inside Yang Globals hospital popped up. She saw Yera enter Xander''s office. Raine zoomed in the camera and heaved a sigh before whispering into her pet wolf, "Look at that belly Draki¡­ It''s so big¡­ That''s why sweets are not good for our body¡­ Especially for pregnant women.." Chapter 461 - Captured At Yang Globals "Scalpel," Yera uttered to the nurse before she began opening up Cali and started her surgery. It took them a few hours. "Suction..." Dion sighed as his sister successfully removed the clot.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/captured_%!d(string=46824056741223844) for visiting. The room was filled with the soft instrumental music playing while Yera focussed completely on the surgery. "Cut." Outside the operating room, Rui clasped his hand while he kept on silently praying for Cali''s safety. Nanny Shine and grandpa Lua were with him, anxiously waiting. He looked at the clock¡­ Three hours had passed already. ''Oh God, please let Cali live¡­ Oh God¡­ please I beg you¡­'' Rui pleaded in his silent prayer and his tears unconsciously fell from his eyes. He would give everything he had just for Cali to surpass the operation and live a healthy life. Two more hours passed and the door finally opened. Yera heaved a sigh and said, "The surgery was successful. All we have to do now is to wait for Cali to wake up." Rui hugged Yera tightly and said, "Thank you, Yera¡­" Yera patted his back and smiled. "Thank you..." Rui cried several times as well as grandpa Lua and Nanny Shine. "Please don''t thank me¡­ Cali is a fighter. We must still keep on praying and hope everything is well once Cali wakes up." Yera reminded him, and Rui could fully understand what Yera meant since there could be a possibility of some unpleasant after-effects of the brain surgery. Yera felt tired while she was being escorted back to Xander''s office. They were in the hallway when a commotion happened. People inside the hospital were alarmed and everyone ran outside. Ralf who was with Yera automatically tightened the security around her with his men around her. Yera heard Ralf instructing his men to get the helicopter ready for flying. Ralf cursed as he looked towards the elevator and fire exit¡­ The madam was pregnant with triplets and having her run up the stairs would endanger the children''s safety. The situation was serious and they must escape somehow, but the condition of madam was also very important to take note of. As Ralf stood there and contemplated, they heard gunshots¡­ Ralf with Yera and a few of his men headed towards the elevator. "What''s going on?" Ralf asked the security of the hospital. "Sir, there are armed men who forcibly entered inside the hospital." the security from the control room reported and informed Ralf the location of the commotion. He sighed at the thought that they still had enough time to escape. Almost all the security of the hospital headed to the area where the armed men were reported. They were almost near the rooftop when Yera and the rest smelled something unusual. The last thing Yera knew was she and the rest of the men with her fell unconscious on the ground. ****** Dion, who was still at Yang Globals hospital, heard about the commotion while he was inside the ICU to check Cali''s vital signs. He suddenly felt nervous and left DR. Gong in charge. He tried to contact Ralf while he removed his scrubs, but Ralf was not answering. He went outside and saw security teams approaching him. "Sir, we must go to a secure place¡­" "Where is my sister? Mom and dad?" Dion worriedly asked. No one answered and stared at him with troubled looks, Dion was horrified with that look they gave and lost his cool. "I want to know what''s going on!" he yelled, so Ron instructed the men to bring Dion inside the control room from the radio. Dion, upon hearing that, immediately ran at the control room where Ron was and asked, "What''s going on?" Ron''s face was pale, so Dion could tell it was something not good. "General Zach is now tailing them¡­" Ron whispered and looked at the screen of the replay on the CCTV footage. Yera and the rest inside the elevator fell unconscious on the floor. Dion''s eyes widened when they saw men in civilian outfit moving her unconscious sister on a wheelchair. "Oh my God!" Dion gasped, and he felt his knees weakened and he almost lost it, but Ron quickly grabbed him. "Is bro Xander aware already?" Dion whispered. "We are unable to contact him, Dion. Today is a crucial day, and he is on the trial." Ron said. Dion almost forgot that it could be the last day of the trial. They were not allowed to bring mobile phones in the area. "How about Chad? Chad can receive and answer calls¡­" Dion helplessly muttered. "Yes, General Zach''s part is on it¡­" Ron answered. "How about mom and dad?" Dion whispered, hoping his dear parents were at least safe. "They were already secured¡­" Ron confirmed, and Dion felt at least at ease. "Ron, my sister is pregnant," Dion uttered. He felt so weak as he tried to control the trembling of his body. His poor sister¡­ "Oh God, please keep her safe¡­" Dion uttered as the tears began to fall from his eyes. Soon Rui entered the control room and slumped on the ground while he watched what happened. "It''s my fault. It''s all my fault." he whispered because it was him who begged Yera to take the lead on Cali''s surgery. If he had not insisted on Yera to do it¡­ Yera could still be safe at Plumeria island. He felt Dion pulled him up to sit while he whispered, "Don''t blame yourself, Rui. It''s no one''s fault. Let''s trust Zach and the military in rescuing her soon." In a secured room, Senior Yang and Liz were both crying hard when they heard the news that Yera was missing. "Our daughter¡­ Liz, why her? Oh, God¡­ My son''s heart would ache if he finds out that his wife was captured Oh God¡­ They should not hurt our Yera," Senior Yang sobbed. "No, they won''t hurt her James." Liz whispered, trying her best to comfort James. They might use Yera as a bargain, since the trial was to Xander''s advantage. Yun, who Liz suspected as the perpetrator, was becoming more desperate due to the losing trial and had even stooped as low as abducting the pregnant woman and attacking in the open now. "Despicable monsters¡­ they must be punished¡­" Liz cried out. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 462 - You! You’re One Of Them Yera woke up feeling some discomfort in her body and when she tried to move her hands a little she found that she was tied up in a chair. Her head was still spinning, and she was still trying to clear her vision after waking up from a few hours of unconsciousness. When her eyes became accustomed to the environment, she blinked while she looked around the place, trying to decipher the place she was locked in. She blinked several times to have a proper view of the closed room and get a grip of the situation. She saw a few armed men inside the room and she knew right then that she was in the hands of the enemies. "You''re finally awake, lovely beauty¡­" an old fat man commented with his malicious grin. He pulled out a chair to sit in front of Yera, staring at her with his greedy eyes and a constant malicious grin. Yera met his gaze. She kept a blank face while she stayed calm, knowing her situation. She knew that she must not panic and must think rationally and calmly for the sake of her babies. She also consoled herself, knowing Zach''s men would soon come to her rescue. "Your husband''s security is such a useless one¡­ The plan to abduct you had not been a success had they been worth a competition with my team¡­ All we needed to do was to make a forced entry into the hospital and as expected all your security men rushed to that spot to stop our men who were firing inside the hospital. Many people obviously got hurt in the shootout. Many civilians were injured and definitely Yang hospitals will have to face a very significant loss after this incident. But then your husband will also be dead very soon, including you by then¡­ I wonder who will die first, you and the bloodlines inside your w.o.m.b or your irritating husband." the old fat man who had that evil grin commented. "Go take her video now." she heard the old man who everyone else addressed as Mr. Long then instructed his men before standing up from the chair. ??Lovely beauty, go on and say your last words to your husband," The old man called as Mr. Long mumbled. He even caressed Yera''s cheeks admiringly, and Yera abruptly moved her face away from his dirty hands. Yera heaved a sigh, looking at the camera focussed on her before she smiled sweetly. She knew the time was crucial and she should give as much strength to her husband as she could. She had to make sure that he should not worry too badly about her, so she must stay strong. "Do what you have to do and bring those bastards who took your mom away from you, who took Bernard''s life, to their doom darling¡­" Yera began and all those inside the room grinned at her. It was a mocking grin. She did not mind them and continued to give encouragement to her husband to bring down the enemies and don''t stop the trial. "Wow. You''re a real brave woman. Aren''t you scared at all? Do you know what we are going to do with you? I don''t plan to kill you instantly, you see¡­ Boss told us we can do anything we want with you once your husband drops the trial." Mr Long commented, admiring how Yera was still composed and seemed not bothered whether she would get killed that instant. "Of all the people, why did you get connected with the twins'' bloodline. Tsk, such pity for a beautiful woman as you to get killed just like that." Mr. Long commented and even dared to touch Yera''s face once more. Yera glared at him and moved her face out from his stinky hands, but Mr. Long held it firmly so Yera could face him. "I want you to hear what I want to do to you, lovely before killing you," he whispered, and it almost made Yera vomit with disgust and she spat on his face. They were entangled in that scene where Mr. Long got pissed off and was about to hit her when the door opened with a loud bang!! Yera''s eyes widened seeing a beautiful woman standing on the forcefully opened door, who immediately barged inside looking at all the men present with a lollipop rolling in her mouth. "You! You''re one of them? Who are you?" Yera whispered in great shock, seeing the beautiful woman who entered through the broken door. The woman stood in front of Mr. Long and glared at him with her beautiful but burning eyes, who quickly removed his hand from Yera''s face. "Princess Raine? What are you doing here?" Mr. Long commented with rounded eyes. His face paled because he was shocked as well. Their operation of abducting Yera was strictly confidential, so how did she even find them? ''How come she was here?'' he mused annoyingly. "What? Didn''t you expect my presence here?! For real Fatty Long? Since when did you get the authority to ask questions to me? How dare you question my presence here!" Raine lazily mumbled and grabbed a chair to sit comfortably, with her legs crossed, facing Mr. Long with her scrutinizing look. Yera stared at the woman they all called Raine in disbelief. Raine turned at Yera and asked, "Are you alright dear? Did they somehow hurt you?" Yera gulped and almost cut her tongue out. She was speechless and stared only at Raine in disbelief. She did not know what to say to her as she sure was a part of the gang and held a higher position than all other goons who were in the room.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/you!-you%E2%80%99re-one-of-them_%!d(string=46824060230884827) for visiting. Then followed was a long deep sigh from Raine before she glared back at Mr. Long and grunted, "Hey Fatty Long! Don''t you know that it''s rude to kidnap a pregnant woman?!" The man named Long twitched his mouth hearing her words and felt like beating her to death for calling him in that way. But did he even dare, unless he wished to die. "Fatty Long she looks surprised and scared! What did you do to her, huh?" Raine added in a hiss. Mr. Long inwardly cursed and glared at his men. ''How did the bitch manage to locate them!'' he irritatingly mused because once Yun found out about Raine getting involved in this they would all be dead. "What''s with that face? Is this operation supposed to be a secret from me?! You look pissed off¡­ fatty Long..." Raine with a raised eyebrow chortled. That childish woman was getting on his nerves now. She was the only one who called him Fatty Long. If not for her father, King Marcus, who doted so much to that bitch, he himself would have already taken her as one of his women to tame. "Tell my uncle that I will take over from here," Raine instructed with her stern look. Mr. Long gulped, knowing what that look was. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 463 - Murder Of Late Mr. Bernard Cooper The next hearing of the trial had to start at the same place where the first hearing was to take place. All the procedures were the same. Xander and his team reached amidst the same tight security as they reached on their first trial. They were finally blindfolded and taken inside the courtroom where they were given a private area to sit before the judge arrived. Xander''s blindfold was removed along with others who accompanied them and they were once again checked for arms or any dangerous objects. The people at Yun''s side had also arrived and were sitting in their waiting area, and to Xander they seemed a little more quiet than they should have been. Probably they were scared and had expected the Xander''s side to have more evidence and stronger witnesses as well. But something was also making Xander anxious, and he suddenly felt his heart tremble that he wished he could talk to Yera at that moment, but his mobile was already confiscated by the security and asking Chad for his mobile did not feel too right at that moment when his complete attention should have been on the trial. He tried to hide his anxiousness, which Lana still caught. She smiled while she shook her head. They were soon called in the courtroom and were asked to present their case further in front of the judge. Lana opened her file and started with a bow. "Your honour, though there are many cases in which Mr. Yun had misused the power of the Yue clan for his benefits and he had been actively involved in killing innocent people for his greed of property, but the worst sin that a human can commit is killing and eliminating his own family members just to keep their stake on the power. Next, I want to present a few incidents which are clearly linked with Mr. Yun who thought he was successful in erasing all the evidence including the witnesses, yet he failed in it." Lana then opened the case of Bernard''s accident. "Your honour, here are the papers I have also submitted a copy of to the court, that give a complete story on Bernard''s death. His accident was pre-planned and well fabricated one. But Yun covered it in the guise of an accident by even killing the truck driver after the accident. In the papers I had submitted, there are a few points that show the planned murder of late Mr. Bernard Cooper, also the child of one of the twins. Point 1. The truck was seen in his right lane and at a medium speed much before Bernard''s car came to that spot and we have witnesses for that. Later, the truck intentionally changed its lane and increased the speed to collide fatally into the car. Had this not been planned, then why would the driver wait for Bernard''s car to come before increasing his speed and colliding with his car. Point 2. The ambulance that was supposed to take Mr. Cooper to the hospital was intercepted, and it took very long to reach the site and even the grim chances of saving Mr. Cooper became less because of severe blood loss and lack of timely medical help. The witnesses and evidence for the same had already been presented to the court earlier. Point 3. Your honour and the most important one. After the death of the driver, his details were not checked thoroughly and a huge amount of money that he deposited in a span of a few days in his and his wife''s account went unnoticed. Where did all that money come from? Even if he sold his ancestral property, a few millions were difficult for him to attain unless¡­ of course our Mr. Yun had a hand in it." As Lana spoke this Liam stood up and said, "Objection your honour, he could have been bribed by anyone, even Mr. Xander could have bribed the truck driver to kill him as he was in love with Ms. Yera Han and wanted to steal her away from Mr. Cooper. How can my talented opponent name my client with no concrete proof?" Lana smirked when she heard Liam''s statement. ''Is this how you defend your client, Mr. Sy?'' she thought then she took a deep breath and continued, "In fact, what my capable opponent just said is exactly right your honour, and to not name his clients without any strong and obvious evidence I should not take his name. But what if I have something that can prove me right to my capable opponent?" Saying this, Lana opened another file and brought out an envelope from it. Inside was a small letter in it and accompanying it was the forensic details of the signatures and handwriting and the approximate time when the letter was written was determined. Lana brought the papers out from the envelope and said, this is a letter written by that truck driver in which he had explained that his life could be in danger because of his taking up a risky job of killing someone and taking a lot of money in lieu of it. The people are very scary and would definitely kill him as soon as his task had been done. Also, he had named them Mr. Yun and Mr. Long. There are two names in his letter."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/murder-of-late-mr.-bernard-cooper_%!d(string=46824064257416730) for visiting. Lana explained the story behind the letter and presented the letter and forensic study details to the court. "Moreover, your honour. The truck driver ran away from the accident site but was found later and they found him to be shot dead in the hospital where he was being treated. But they fiddled his postmortem report and the original report was with the family till now, which is brought here by us." Saying that, Lana again brought out an envelope and gave it to the court to check. That envelope contained the original postmortem report of the truck driver and also attached were doc.u.ments supporting its authentication. Lana waited for Liam''s objection, but to her surprise Liam was too quiet at that moment. She could see Yun cursing at him in silence, but Liam only answered Yun with a sigh. The game of death was on now... ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 464 - Clear All The Remaining Doubts Lana watched Liam, who was sitting there very quietly and not raising even a single objection to her any claim. She, at that very point, could sense Liam was intentionally playing dumb and finding no points for objection, making her win easier in the court! Lana, who was both surprised and elated with her thought then continued with her accusations on Yun and started opening up about the incidents that happened with Xander. "Your honour, I would now like to bring the attention of the court to how Yun had been trying to take away the life of my client Mr. Xander Yang. He had been living under the continuous threat of his and his family''s life. Yun had smartly been trying to stage accidents one after the other, to harm him and it was all by sheer luck that my client was able to escape death every time and Yun failed in his efforts several times." Lana continued further. "The irony of most of the situations is that the attention of most of the investigators were every time inclined towards Ms. Yera Han, We all thought it was Yera Han those accidents were after, but then later discovered it was not." "Here I am going to present the incidents one by one and how scheming Mr. Yun had been that he not only wanted to kill Xander''s Yang but also wanted to put the blame of few of his activities on Quan clan by using a fake tattoo of a cyclone representing each member of the Quan clan, and that your honor is the big accusation as Quan clan''s Prince is also standing up for elections this year. The mindset to sabotage everyone in your vicinity is an indicator of a psychologically disturbed mind, and such twisted people must not be allowed to live in mainstream life. My next evidence is about the accident on the beach where Xander lost control of his jet-ski and it hit a yacht causing an explosion. This looks quite like an example of an uncontrolled machine, but the machine was tampered with. The people sent by Mr. Yun were even spotted around the hotel where Xander Yang stayed. And here is the evidence with forensic analysis. The people tailing Mr. Yang were the men sent by Mr. Yun, who had other motives but could not succeed further." "Over to you, my capable friend, if you want to ask any questions regarding this evidence, please go ahead." Lana looked at Liam and gave him the opportunity to defend his client, but Liam stood up and only said, "No questions, Your Honour!" This act of his put Lana in high surprise and Him was getting more and more furious by each passing minute. Then Lana brought out the evidence showing the involvement of Yun''s people in the truck incident, in which Xander and Yera almost got killed, if not because of the motorcycle rider who chased them away from the spot they were standing at. Lana kept putting various evidence in front of the court and topped it all with proper forensic reports from a very trustworthy lab, and all the while Liam only had a few words to say and didn''t even object to her directly calling Mr. Yun as the culprit. Yun was gnashing his teeth while he looked at Liam and hissed, "What are you doing? Defend me you rascal!" Liam sighed and smirked, then looked at Yun with dropped shoulders, "How do you want me to defend you? Did you give me any details about your deeds so that I could find out some ways to defend you? I told you I won''t be able to do a thing if you won''t tell me everything. How will I defend you? I can''t utter a word in your defence Mr. Yun, because I''m afraid that if I try to defend you without proper knowledge of whatever happened and have no evidence to support my words, I might deliver nothing but weak words to the point that will make the situation worse and suspicious." Yun''s nostrils were flaring in anger while Xander''s lawyer continued triumphantly in pulling him down with all her compiled witnesses and their interviews and evidence. "You honor, now I am going to present the most important and most unexpected witness to the crimes that Yun has committed. We have submitted evidence to his gruesome acts and crimes, but this witness will be able to give an exact view of the schemes Mr. Yun had been playing to get the power in his hands." Lana then showed all the evidence that Xander and Zach had gathered about the man Yun instructed to kill Yera when she was abducted.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/clear-all-the-remaining-doubts_%!d(string=46824067763854256) for visiting. She arranged a projector in the courtroom and played a video on it. At first it showed a man on a hospital bed with many machines attached to him. He was alive and when the camera was focussed on him he started narrating his story. "My name is Jack Wilson. I want to confess my crimes today that I committed in greed of money. I was a member of the scary gang which was attached with the Yue clan in secret, and when Dr. Yera Han was abducted, I was still a newly appointed member in the gang. After we took the job of abducting Dr. Han, Mr. Yun approached me and asked me to kill Dr. Han, who would be in our custody and then to plant evidence in such a way that Dr. Xander Yang could be implicated for her murder. He further had in his mind that Dr. Yang would be sent to jail where he would get him murdered and would be highly inconspicuous in the entire scheme." Seeing the man whom Yun thought got killed years ago was still alive, Yun felt weak in his knees because the punishment he would receive for crimes like the ones he committed by the court will be only death. He stood up from his seat and shouted, "who will believe the words of any random man? He is simply a staged stooge that you all have planted to slander me and give wrong evidence." Lana smirked at the panicked state of Yun''s and drawled, "Are you perhaps afraid for your own life now, Mr. Yun?" "Even death fears me and I am just pointing out the way you are trying to frame me. I have done nothing to be sentenced for." Yun muttered when Lana confronted him. She then chuckled lightly and said, "Don''t worry Mr. Yun, I will fulfill this wish of yours for sure, you want me to prove that man is your goon and not a stooge planted by us. So be it. Your honour, may I again get your permission to play another video here that will clear all the remaining doubts from the minds of everyone?" "Permission granted!" Said the Judge. "The young man took this video himself by using a hidden mobile phone when Yun arrived." Lana said as she played a video. Yun clenched his teeth as he watched the video of him entering and sitting in front of the man. In the video, Yun even looked around, and the man chuckled saying, what are you looking at? Yun answered and said, "Are you alone?" and the man nodded. Yun gritted his teeth. He never thought the boy was clever enough to hide something like that. He knew the gang, but he wanted to have a discreet negotiation with the new member who was easy to deal with shutting up after. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 465 - Lured Into A Trap The video had the entire negotiation between Yun and the assassin. How Yun convinced him and ultimately finalized the deal with him, where he instructed the boy to fire the gun and kill Yera Han whenever he got the opportunity while she was in captivity, were detailed. What Yun did not know during the entire conversation was that the newcomer was clever enough to capture every minute of that transaction in a video through a hidden camera, without his knowledge. At the end of the video after Yun left his place, the young man brought out his mobile phone that was hidden in a corner and focused it to his face and said, "This is the first time I have got the opportunity to kill, so I might have something proving the involvement of some other party in this. I have seen these kinds of things in the movies when such videos were used to bring down the real mind behind the whole fiasco. What if things get messed up, and he tries to sabotage me? It''s always better to have a backup like this in case something goes wrong. See that old man? If something happens to me, look for him." The man pointed towards the exit and said in the end. "That''s fake! That''s not me in the video! That man for sure is just a paid one to act and his face has been changed to look like mine!" Yun shouted, losing his control. He was confident that the boy was dead now, fed by sharks and fishes. The leader informed him he shot that boy and killed him months ago, so who would testify he was the one negotiating with that boy, denying was the best option when they had no further witness for proving the video. Lana laughed and scorned, "Why would we bother to hire a fake Yun in the video? This world is finding one Mr. Yun difficult for us to bring another one to even pretend. About the authenticity, we have provided the forensic reports of this video as well and you are free to take a copy and analyse yourself if you wish..." "If that video is not fake then bring that man here! You can''t right? Now you would even make an excuse that he is dead and can not testify these words in person because everything you said is just invented by your group to frame me!" Yun shouted. Lana gave Yun her sharpest glare and with a mocking smile she declared, "As expected, evil doesn''t prevail that easily¡­ The man you hired to kill Yera lived and is in our custody, Your Honor I would now like to bring him as the sole eyewitness and he also wants to turn himself in after he is cured completely ¡­" Yun''s nerves exploded in shock at that statement. How could that man be alive? That was just so impossible. He didn''t remember the exact face of the man and hence he thought the man they showed in the hospital was a fake one, but how could that be true what their lawyer just said? Yun was having an ominous feeling about the things going on in the court and The house speaker suddenly at that time announced for a break and the trial would be paused for the meantime and resume after lunch. In his private room, Liam was convincing Yun to tell him everything. Yun''s face paled and he was becoming hysterical already, yelling in the courtroom awhile ago, and now on all his men who were around him... He looked at Liam with a stern face and sneered, "I guess you don''t care about your family name getting pulled down in the pit with me. You surely don''t give importance to the Kens seeing how lamely you''re defending me¡­" That was the catch why Liam accepted Mr. Yun''s case. Liam had to make sure he won his trial for Shawn Ken''s sake, his newfound cousin, for him to live a normal life or else he would make sure Shawn would go back to the bottom pit where he came up. Liam clenched his jaw but maintained his cool. "How many times do I need to repeat myself, Mr. Yun? How could I defend someone who doesn''t fully trust me? I''m sure you are well aware of my capabilities, but all clients I defended till date never kept a single detail from me regarding their case." Liam nonchalantly commented while he loosened his tie. A roguish smile appeared on his face while Lana''s composure popped up before him. His tigress owned the floor so well, and he felt so proud. "Are you grinning at me?!" Yun exclaimed with his sharp eyes shooting daggers at Liam. Liam shrugged his shoulders, adding more fuel in Yun''s flaming anger. He was about to say more when one of his men rushed inside the room and handed him his mobile phone. "It''s Long¡­" the man remarked. All the lines from Yun''s face disappeared, and a satisfied smirk replaced it while Yun listened to Long from another line. "Good, then¡­ Good work..." Liam heard Yun said before ending the call. Yun with a mocking smile looked at Liam and scoffed, "Don''t bother anymore Attorney Sy about asking me more details. I already did your job. Soon, Xander Yang will pull out from this trial and I will be free to do what I had wanted to do always." Liam''s brow''s knitted and said, "What do you mean?" Yun grabbed his cigar and puffed some smoke before boasting, "You see¡­ I''m a prince of the Yue clan. No one can bring me down easily. Let me tell you this secret since after this trial, we will surely not meet again." Yun leaned on Liam''s side and whispered in his ear, "I am actually guilty of all those crimes and I will keep adding more crimes repeatedly to my journal, Attorney Sy¡­ Including your life¡­ Your cousin Shawn¡­ and many more. Let me tell you this¡­ You are now part of the plan, that''s why you are here¡­ It''s like hitting two birds at the same time. Killing you and your newfound cousin. It''s all a piece of cake for me. You''ve been lured into a trap like Xander Yang, I have his wife under my palm at this point." Liam sighed¡­ He accepted this case to help his cousin Shawn, who was involved in the underworld since his childhood. Ryu asked him for this favor of saving Shawn and clearing out his name, and he did, but then he did not foresee Shawn''s underworld group confidential transactions with the Yue clan, with Yun in particular. It was very discreet that Shawn himself could not confirm the said transactions as well.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/lured-into-a-trap_%!d(string=46824071790386115) for visiting. Liam had a calm face and smiled, "I guess you''re not aware how we Ken''s do our work properly¡­ You don''t finish my job Mr. Yun because it''s only me who can finish what I started." "Sir, we already relayed the information and video to Xander''s side," one of Yun''s men reported. Yun laughed triumphantly, like an evil monster. "Good luck, then attorney Liam. But I guess we won''t be able to see each other again after this trial." Yun chided at the thought to kill Liam together with Xander and the rest afterwards. "We definitely won''t see each other again, Mr. Yun." Liam meaningfully whispered. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 466 - At Risk Meanwhile, at another room, Xander was fuming in anger when the video of his wife in Yun''s captivity reached him. He watched his wife, tied to a chair, while she delivered her message. "Don''t worry about me darling, I''m fine. Do what you''ve got to do¡­" That was Yera''s message on the video with a calm, composed face and a smile. He helplessly slumped on a chair, and the mobile phone dropped from his hand. His body was trembling, and he felt so weak. His heart was pounding so hard that Xander felt it would burst anytime soon. At that moment, all he wanted to do was to kill Yun on the spot. He wanted to break his neck, slit his throat¡­ All ways of torturing flashed past his mind and he wished he could use all methods of killing on that one monster right then. "I will kill that old bastard!" Xander raged. He stood up and ran on his way through the door. Chad tried to control him from attacking Yun who was in the opposite room. He pinned Xander down on the ground and yelled, "Calm down, Xander, calm your anger. This is not the time to lose your temper. This is exactly what Yun wants. He wants to show that you are trying to implicate him in the wrong way. He has almost lost the case. If you lose it now, we will never be able to win." The message Yun gave was clear. Xander needed to drop all the charges for his wife and unborn children to live, but they knew well the high possibility that Yun would never keep his word. The chances of him to kill Yera once he got what he needed was quite high, then Xander would be next. That was how dirty Yun played his tricks. "Xander calm down please and trust me when I say this. I somehow feel that everything will be in our advantage." Lana muttered with a hesitant voice. Chad and Xander both looked at Lana with confused eyes. Lana bit her lip wondering as well if her suspicion was right but her hunch was telling her she was right.

And I think they have a plan. He told me, earlier, not to panic even if the situation comes to worst and just continue with the trial and present everything that we have so that Yun can get punished. He told me you should do the same no matter what happened. Now I believe that he knew some underhanded tricks like this would be played for sure, but he assured me that nothing bad would happen to your family Liam." Lana explained. "But that''s my wife and our babies, Lana¡­ how do you expect me to risk it? Do you expect me to just believe some unclear words from him?" Xander growled as tears swam out of his eyes. He was in significant pain at the thought of his wife and babies being in danger like that. Chad heaved a long sigh and said, "I agree with Lana Xander¡­. Even if we pull out now, Yun will not keep his word and you know that. I am sure Zach would be able to rescue Yera in no time. The military is already on it..." Xander felt his body weakened, ten folds¡­ His world was crumbling apart. He was aware of Lana and Liam''s point, but how could he compromise his wife and babies. Yes, the possibility of Yun not keeping his promise was too high, but still¡­ there was at least a chance for him to get his wife back if he backed out from the case! What other choice did he even have to assure Yera and his babies'' safety? There was only one choice¡­ He could only take a risk with the choice to pull out and drop his charges against Yun. For the first time in Xander''s life, he could not easily decide on what he should do because in whatever decision he should make, he was aware that his wife and babies'' lives were at risk. "Is there any news from Zach?" Xander asked Chad in a cracked voice. They knew Zach was doing his best to rescue Yera but time was very crucial for now. Chad heaved a sigh and shook his head. Lana looked at the wall clock. "Fifteen minutes more before they would call us back inside the courtroom¡­" she whispered, waiting for Xander''s further instructions on how she would proceed further once again called for the trial. The trial would end today, and a verdict would soon follow. Lana was confident they could win and make Yun pay for all his crimes. However, because Yun had Yera in his hands, the table could be turned around if Xander dropped the charges. Lana sympathetically looked at Xander¡­ He had to make a crucial choice at this point, and she knew it was hard for him. Xander''s heart was pounding as he closed his eyes. He was praying, asking for guidance and wisdom on what to do. Time flew away quickly and soon everyone was called out to go back to the courtroom. Yun had this triumphant smile and a big grin over his face while he exchanged glances with Xander, who was also about to enter the room. Yun could easily make out how defeated Xander''s look was, and it was then that he became more confident of his victory. Very soon all his enemies would be killed and the only one left to claim the throne would be him and no one else. Even if his brother would not wake up, that bi*ch Raine would have no claim to the throne. He had every right. No woman could claim the position as a leader. Liam was walking behind Yun and his men when he accidentally bumped into one security who secretly handed him something. Liam took it and put it in his pocket and proceeded inside the courtroom. He looked at Lana who was also staring at him and Liam could foretell from her weary face that Xander had decided to drop the charges. And that would mean that Yera was yet in the captivity of Yun''s men. Liam cursed and shifted his gaze at Yun, who was grinning still like a maniac, feeling he had already won the case. He was sitting in a very calm and relaxed mode, unlike his hysterical and shouting self in the court before lunch. ''What''s taking her so long?'' Liam mused and looked at the clock. Soon the judge would enter and the trial would resume. ''Raine¡­'' Liam quietly breathed, hoping the news would reach Xander''s side before the trial resumed. He looked around and saw that Chad was still not in the room. Liam thought Chad was probably waiting for any good news outside since the use of mobile phones was not allowed inside the courtroom of Mirage Triad. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 467 - Gruesome Scene Back to where Yera was brought by Yun''s men, Mr. Long quickly dialed his Boss'' number and he gulped, with fear in his heart, while hearing the instruction of his Boss Yun. "Kill that bit*h if she insists on taking away Yera with her! I will myself be answerable to my brother! So don''t hesitate in even killing her!" his Boss Yun''s voice almost cracked open his ear drum. "I''m sorry, princess, but Prince Yun said that you should back off or else¡­" Mr. Long whispered and could not deliver the last words. He gave his armed men inside the room a knowing look of a shoot to kill instruction for Raine. Raine straightened her back on her seat then turned her head to Yera and whispered, "Dear¡­ do you think you can close your eyes for just a minute or two because watching the next scene is not good for your baby. Your husband, the Dr. CEO and not to add his best friend will surely kill me if he finds out that I let you watch such a gruesome scene live¡­" Raine even winked at her and added, "I will still try to make it less gruesome, as much as I can" Yera''s lips parted in awe as she watched what happened next with open, rounded eyes. As soon as Raine gave her another wink, a small knife was thrown towards one of the men standing on the left side of Raine that hit directly to his forehead, putting him down at that instant. With that, all men attacked Raine almost together, left and right, using their fists, but none of them were skilled enough to even manage to put her down. They all were losing against her, and it was then that they were reminded that they were all armed. They picked their guns and pointed it to Raine. But as the devil she was, she held one of those men and covered herself using the man''s body in front of her as her shield. She pulled the gun from the man''s hands and used it to shoot at the others. Yera felt her head was spinning around, not to mention the sound of each shot ringing loudly inside the room¡­ *Bang * Bang * Bang. Yera felt she was watching a superhero movie¡­. No! It was more like she was inside a movie being rescued by a superhero woman. She was as flexible as an elastic rubber and as fast as lightning. She never thought a woman could do these types of movement''s as swiftly as Raine was doing in real life. Almost all men were taken down by her all alone. And with the fear of getting killed by the princess to save himself, Yera saw the old fat man Long come running towards her and pointed a gun at her temple. ''Oh my God!'' Yera realized how serious the situation was when she felt the coldness of the metal on her temple. She heard a click of the gun and she knew one more movement from Long, and her brain would soon explode into tiny pieces. "Princess Raine¡­ Stop where you are!" Long shouted at Raine, who finally threw the dead body of the man full of gunshots, on the floor. Raine who still had that lollipop rolling inside her mouth had that naughty smile carved on her beautiful face. Her gun pointed at Long while she said, "You chose to follow orders from my uncle than me so tell me old fatty Long¡­ Do I need to spare your life?" "You want her, right? If you move any closer to me, then she will die." Long threatened while his hand trembled. He was aware of how capable princess Raine was, she was rightly termed as the devil by the clan people. Right then the door opened, and Long heaved a sigh of relief seeing Dalgon barging inside the room with a gun pointed at Raine. "What took you so long?" Long hissed at Dalgon. "Put down your gun princess," Dalgon instructed and Raine with a smirk raised both her arms. Seeing that, Long relaxed and removed the gun he was pointing at Yera. "Wrong move, old fatty Long," Raine whispered before she shot Long straight at the center of his forehead, in a swift and quick motion. Yera''s eyes rounded when she felt Long''s body fall on her back. "Yikes¡­ Quickly move that bastard away from Yera!" Raine instructed Dalgon who was clever enough to change sides with her sometimes during the last few weeks. Dalgon moved quickly and released Yera from her tie. Raine grabbed Dalgon''s mobile and quickly dialed Chad''s number into a video call and gave it to Yera. "How many of my uncle''s men are outside?" Raine asked Dalgon. "About thirty men, more or less." Dalgon reported.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/gruesome-scene_%!d(string=46930734602055687) for visiting. "How about the military?" Raine commented. "They have already penetrated inside." Dalgon confirmed. Raine looked at Yera and instructed, "Your husband must be torn into deciding about what to do. Tell him you''re safe and the military has rescued you." Yera felt confused because she did not see any military at all, but she immediately said as instructed as soon as Chad''s face appeared. "Are you sure, Yera?" Chad reconfirmed and Yera nodded with a smile. "Tell him I don''t have even a single scratch on me, so please make sure you win this case." Yera said with a smile, and tears rolled down her eyes. Chad ran back inside the courtroom and gave his signal to Lana, who was about to say that they were going to drop the charges against Yun. Lana''s face lighted up and gave Xander a knowing look. Chad sat beside Xander and whispered, "Yera is safe¡­ They rescued her in time¡­" Xander''s heart felt so at peace right at that moment and he closed his eyes to control his emotions, yet tears flew down like an uncontrolled river flowing continuously from his eyes while he kept on silently humming, "Thank you God¡­ Oh God thank you¡­" Lana looked at Liam, who gave her a nod and a smile. She inhaled and exhaled loudly before speaking, "Your honor, we want to call in on our witness¡­ The man who managed to live highly unexpectedly for Mr. Yun. The man Mr. Yun hired to kill Yera Han." The judge approved and the private door opened where the boy in the video was being pushed inside in a wheelchair. "He''s alive?" Yun whispered in shock. But what made him pale was Xander did not drop the charges, and the trial continued just as it was supposed to be. Yun turned to Liam and leered, "Make sure you win this case or I will kill your cousin myself and destroy his entire family, including you!" "Don''t tell me what to do¡­ Because your life depends on me now¡­" Liam glowered in his darkened face. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 468 - Peace And Order Yun was left stunned with the way Liam spoke to him and he fainted on the spot, both with anger and fear of the result of the trial. He didn''t understand how things came to this. He had everything prepared. His men even got an opportunity to kidnap Yera and blackmail Xander on her name. A while ago Xander even looked completely shattered, and he was almost sure of his victory. What went wrong? His little brain couldn''t process the problem and when Liam was about to stand up to defend him, he grabbed his collar and like a crazy whispered, "You have to win this case and I will take care of Shawn''s name¡­ I will make sure he will have peace with his family and I will not bother the Kens nor pull them down with Shawn''s past¡­" Yun was silently hoping Liam could do the magic like what he was known for, but Liam abruptly pushed him and said, "I told you beforehand that we Ken''s can manage to protect our own people and don''t need help from sc.u.mbags like you. Don''t worry Mr Yun, I will handle your case as to how it should be handled." Yun looked at Liam''s back with parted lips and thought about what that bastard meant by his words? ''Handle his case as to how it should be handled?'' he mused while encouraging himself that Liam would make his utmost to win his case over, as he was famous for never losing any case.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/peace-and-order_%!d(string=46930738645363959) for visiting. Liam stood up and picked something out from his pocket and handed it over to the judge. "Your honor¡­ Me and my family are victims of Yun''s evil plans as well. What I have just handed over to you is the evidence of his greed for power and how evil he is just for fulfilling his own purpose and claim. It is a recording of his voice taken just a while ago in which he is confirming all the crimes he had committed. In that recording you can clearly see how he was threatening me by planting false evidence against my cousin and framing him." Liam started and stated to everyone how Yun was harassing his cousin, including him and their families. "You! Traitor! How did you!" Yun shouted as he listened to his own voice that was played inside the courtroom. Liam frowned because he''d been putting up with that bastard and his whims enough, and his patience had almost given up already. All he wanted was to make sure that Shawn and his family would be kept safe from the evil plans of this sc.u.m. About how did he manage to get the recording, given that he had nothing when he entered the court? He got the required things inside the restroom where one of Raine''s men had hidden it and informed him through a note. The entire case had been fixed even before it all started as someone, a close aide of The clan, named Raine, was helping the Kens and Yangs in the shadows, providing them with important information and help as and when needed. Also, her motive was to get Yun punished for his crimes, better make him get a death penalty. So from one point it did look like Liam was defending Yun, but the actual reason for Liam to represent him was to get him punished and not make it clear in the first hearing. Most of the things were orchestrated by Ms. Raine. Liam thought everything was well planned and very well played to bring down Yun. He had to keep everything confidential, not risking Raine''s plan, so he had to keep away all these details as well from Lana. Yun was hysterical at that moment and had completely lost control of his sanity, he started shouting and even tried to assault Liam but the security intervened at that moment and to control him they had to pin him down before he could attack Liam. Yun was then kept in the custody of the guards and after the chaos was settled they all silently waited for the final verdict by the judge. The judge looked at all the evidence and the crimes Yun had committed. He was even personally aware of the destructive and obsessive mind of Yun and knew that each evidence was very laboriously obtained. The case made by the lawyer of Mr. Yang had been excellently prepared. The judge praised the lawyer''s efforts as well as the collection of all evidence, and especially the efforts in producing the main eyewitness in the courtroom by keeping him alive. He also praised Xander for all his efforts for the same. The judge then gave the final verdict and Yun was given the death sentence, ''to be hanged till death'' with immediate effect. Xander was on cloud nine when he heard the verdict, and Yun''s eyes enlarged. Yun''s body became limp as soon as he realised that he could not do anything now. He started shouting and threatening everyone present around, "If you all dare to kill me today, my brother will wake up and avenge my murder from you all. All my loyal men will make sure to kill each and every family member of all the people present here. You all still have time to leave me and let me go. Leave me, I said, I am the prince of the Yue clan, how can you treat me like this?" When Xander heard all his rantings, he went closer to him. He looked into his eyes and said, "You deserved a better punishment. Hanging till dead is very mild for you. You killed my mother, my brother who was so dear to me was also killed by you. I lost my unborn child because of you, and not only this, you are responsible for ruining the lives of so many people and destroying so many young girls for the greed of your men. These clans were made for maintaining a parallel power in the underworld to be able to maintain peace and keep in check unlawful activities by the underworld realm, not to fulfill your unethical greed Yun! But you¡­ you became a murderer of your own family and even killed so many civilians to put the blame off your head." Xander turned around and stood with his back straight and finished by saying his last words to Yun, "Yun, had you kept the consideration of familial ties your fate could definitely be different. But no one would even think of having mercy on a monster like you." Yun fell on ground hearing the words from Xander and realising that he would be killed by hanging¡­ He would be hanged that same instant and everyone present inside the courtroom would witness that. Without further ado, everyone watched as Yun was taken to the execution room and hanged till he died. Xander himself went there to check his pulse and vitals. He pronounced him finally finished. He was no longer breathing. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 469 - The Throne "It has been proven that Xander Yang was the true heir and qualified leader of the Yue Clan." The council''s representative announced, but Xander did not want to be the King of the clan and he refused to get involved in direct matters of the clan. "I was here to get justice for the blood spilled among my family and to make sure there is no more bloodshed. I always had my own small army and a team of security personnels that made my assassination difficult for even Yun, and I have no greed of power to run the world. I want to just live in peace with me and my family. Though I know I can not completely forsake my connection with the triad, I want to make it clear that I would never raise my claim as the leader of the Yue clan." Xander commented, and everyone in the room immediately understood what he meant was that he could keep in touch with the clan. Be one of the veto members for the important decisions to be taken, but would happily let the capable heir to the clan be the leader and become its king. Chad had tried to convince Xander to lead the Yue clan previously after the trial ended, but Xander had no desire to lead the group. All he wanted was for his family to remain safe and well intact. Leading the Yue clan would be a burden he did not dream to have. He had already experienced a lot of complications because of his connections to the clan, and if possible he only wanted to live a normal life with his wife and no longer get entangled with the running of the clan. "I would not plead for any rights as the leader of the Yue clan. I only have one request, and that is to change the filthy rules of the clan that have led to such bloodbath within the family and also to make stricter rules to not let any such thing happen ever again. And yes, I would be ready to contribute in making all these amendments." Xander directly requested. The councils accepted Xander''s request and made this special arrangement for him and his family to be kept under the security of the Yue clan and be given special voting rights in the clan that would extend to his further generations.

No one in the clan would be allowed to lay a hand on them and they would always remain a part of it, but not be involved in the running of the clan. But Xander must also humble down to help the clan in case some crisis arises and even lend a helping hand in running it, if ever any need arises and not abandon the clan of his mother completely. Everyone there agreed to those arrangements, and even Xander agreed to the last part of it. He knew his family and future generations were now safe forever, rather safer than they ever were before. Chad bore witness to it all and as promised, he further agreed that he would find the rightful heir of Yue Clan to end the tyrant ruling of King Marcus. The rightful heir should be Ester''s grandson, and he already had a lead on him. Ester''s grandson was alive, but who was he and where he was, had to be found out yet. While all those matters were being settled down in the courtroom, a man barged inside the court unhesitantly and introduced himself as Tyron, the right-hand man of Princess Raine. "Our princess has rescued Mr. Xander''s wife, and she is now in the safe custody of the military under General Zach. Our Princess wanted to inform the great councils that we are very sorry for all the shame that Prince Yun had brought to the Mirage Triad. She hereby has promised to correct everything before King Marcus should wake up from his coma. We have already wiped out all of Yun''s trusted and loyal men in connection to all the crimes he committed. The entire clan now has only the men who can be trusted by the Princess and even Mr. Yang. Please allow me to make a proposition from our Princess to ensure Xander Yang''s lineage to be safe." Tyron solicited. Tyron heaved a sigh as he looked at the people inside the room. Raine already foretold Xander''s view towards the throne. She helped Xander because she knew Xander would not be a hindrance for her to claim the leadership, unlike Yun. Before everyone, Tyron then went on and explained Princess Raine''s proposition to salvage the current situation. The princess stated that her father was not aware about Yun''s movements since he was in a coma and everything about the trial that happened would be fully confidential and not go further than the people in the courtroom. She would make sure that the trial would not reach the King''s knowledge after he wakes up. To maintain peace and prevent unnecessary wars between the clans, the princess would make it look like Yun along with all his men died in a tragic battle with the military, that attacked because Yun was also responsible for the various crimes and a few terrorist attacks in country V. This trial and his final sentence should be concealed henceforth. Xander found it to be a good plan, so he immediately agreed. However, final decisions would come from the councils. "Why would we trust your words? The princess should face us herself in the first place! It''s a disgrace that she is not showing herself before anyone!" one of the councils commanded after hearing Tyron''s plan. None of them had ever met Raine in person at all. That time, Ester entered the room and said, "I vouch my life for this plan. Raine has her valid reasons for limiting her physical presence everywhere." She knew Raine well. Her niece could be stubborn all the time and her ways sometimes could be misunderstood largely by the people, but she trusted Raine, although Marcus was the one who raised and taught her. "Isn''t this enough? I represent the Yue clan at this point as the sole rightful heiress to lead the group." Ester continued. She was also one of the rightful heirs to the throne. "Marcus is still in a coma but would soon wake up according to his doctors. We are all aware of my brother''s temperament¡­ And he will not be happy by how his brother died like that. Yun was the only one he trusted. We must ensure that peace prevails at the triad, so I agree to what princess Raine proposed. This is the best solution and we must make a decision at this moment now." she added after a careful thought. Everyone heaved a long sigh before they cast a vote among councils. In the end, princess Raine''s plan was approved for peace and order amongst the clan and the civilians that got involved as well as Xander and his family. Everyone inside the courtroom who witnessed everything signed a contract that should any details or information leak about anything that happened in that courtroom, it would be answerable by their life alone. Ester then looked at Xander and said, "I would love to pay you a visit and your family as well as soon as everything is settled." Xander smiled and nodded. He could tell the longing for a family''s warmth in those eyes. "Grandma¡­ My home will always welcome you. I''m indebted to you as well for your great help in bringing justice while putting your life on the line." Xander spoke with full of gratitude. They managed to get all the evidence they needed because of Ester''s help, which also included how Yun had stolen and shifted the corpses of his mother and Bernard''s mother to Yue clan graveyard. "That is nothing my grandson compared to all the hardship we both had experienced because of Yun''s greed and tyranny." Ester murmured with a grieved heart. Xander sighed and added, "Don''t worry, grandma. We will soon find your grandson. Chad is a very capable man, and he always keeps his promise." Ester nodded while her face softened. She only hoped for peace as well¡­ All she wanted now was to get united with her long lost grandson. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] Chapter 470 - Finally Have The Peace "I have to leave now. The military is now in the building and headed towards this room so you''ll now be safe," Yera heard Raine assure her. "Thank you." Yera whispered. She was more than grateful to Raine for saving her just in time. She did not have even a single scratch on her body. She had a lot of questions in her mind, but what was more important was that she came to her rescue and not the other way around. Raine smiled and winked at her before saying, "Hope we won''t see each other again. You see¡­ There''s always some trouble brewing wherever I''m around. Good luck for your triplets, by the way¡­ You guys have worked hard..." Yera blushed with her last statement and answered her with a simple nod. Then Yera watched Raine''s back as she left with the man named Dalgon. After a few more minutes, the door opened and Zach entered with his men. "Oh God, Yera. Are you alright? Check her immediately." Zach yelled to the medic who was with them to check on Yera''s condition. "I got Yera¡­ Relay it immediately. Make sure the area is completely clear." Yera heard Zach inform through a radio. She inhaled and exhaled¡­ She''s been doing that since she regained consciousness to relax and calm herself down for her babies'' safety. "I''m perfectly fine," Yera assured the medic with a smile. "Is everything cleared?" Zach confirmed from the radio before they got into position to pull out Yera from the site where she was hidden by the abductors. They passed through a lot of wounded and dead men after Yera stepped outside from the room she was kept in. The smoke and scent of gunpowder were irritating her nose.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/finally-have-the-peace_%!d(string=46930747486957672) for visiting. Seeing most of the dead men were in civilian clothes and there were only a few soldiers that were wounded, none were fatally hurt, Yera asked, "Are they all from Yue''s clan?" "Yes, actually from the faction created by Yun, they were all loyal to only Yun and obeyed his orders. Raine gave us your location when she found out about it, so we rushed here to save you. The trial has ended already and Yun has been sentenced to death, to be hanged till dead. In some time, Yun''s body will be brought here along with his men who supported him and also the ones who went with him in the trial. This will help keep many things under wraps and not become the cause of a further bloodbath in the clan. It was all the princess'' idea that Yun should be reported to be killed during action here against the military. There are many crimes he had committed for the military to attack him, to avenge for all his crimes. Raine also wanted to keep Xander''s connection with a little secret within the clan to ensure peace for his family since it was also what Xander''s request. He does not want to get directly involved with the working of the Yue clan and as an active member of the Mirage Triad, but he has agreed to be a permanent member of the clan and be available for some highly important decision meetings where he can have a veto power as well. His rights will be extended to his children as well if they would be ready to accept it. But the most important part is that your family''s security is now the responsibility of the Yue clan. Some shadow guards may also follow you guys now without you all not knowing about them." Zach explained, and Yera could finally release a sigh of relief. Zach only had a conversation with Raine over the mobile phone and did not meet yet the princess of the Yue clan personally, though. He hoped to meet her someday since the women helped a lot at solving all the mysteries not only in Xander''s case but also the military regarding the terrorist attacks they experienced at country V. He escorted Yera to an armored van with the medics going to transport her back to a safer place for her and her baby. Yera felt suddenly nauseous as soon as she came out from the building after seeing a lot of bloodshed everywhere, not to include the smell of the smoke and gunpowder. All that was so overwhelming for her that it all caused her to suddenly faint inside the armored car. Meanwhile, back at Mirage triad courtroom, Tyron claimed the lifeless body of Yun so they could proceed to put into action what was agreed on. To stage that Yun got killed with his men during the fight between the military of country V who was seeking justice for all his terrorist attacks on country V and blame everything on the Quan clan group. Ester, who finally got the chance to do so, immediately hugged Xander inside the room. She could finally get the opportunity to meet her grandson of her dear brother, the deceased rightful King of the Yue Clan, Arthur. "Oh, God¡­ My handsome grandson. I am your grandmother, your maternal grandfather''s sister. He would surely be happy to see all this from where he is right now including your mother knowing you and your family are at least now safe my grandson." Ester cried while she stared at Xander. "You look exactly like your mother, Kayla. Oh, God, you''re so much alike." Ester gasped while she touched Xander''s face. "Thank you so much grandma for helping us out too. I am sure you will also soon find your grandson¡­" Xander whispered, grateful that his grandmother Ester could also finally have the peace of mind that she needed and could now easily deploy an entire unit to find her missing grandson now that Yun was dead. "I am hoping so, grandson. And may you and your family also find peace now." His grandmother, whom he only got the chance to meet that day, wished. Xander hugged her one last time before they got ready to get blindfolded once again and returned to Quan clan territory. Xander and Lana were escorted back to Quan Territory where he heard of the good news that Yera was safe and in good condition together with their babies. She was escorted to Life Hospitals because she had fainted. Xander was extremely worried when he heard about that although Zach confirmed to him that Yera and the babies were fine. Chad wanted to celebrate Xander''s victory before he left, but seeing his worried face, he arranged a private plane for him with immediate effect so he could go straight to his wife. "I can''t thank you both enough for what you''ve done." Xander said to Chad and Lana before giving them a tight hug. "I expect to receive a hazard pay and bonus, you know," Lana replied in a jest. "How about you bro?" Xander asked grinning. "Nah¡­ It''s nothing. Just make sure you live a peaceful life and don''t worry, I will soon revise the Mirage twisted rules and make several reforms¡­ So that the future descendants of any clan won''t suffer like what happened to your ancestors¡­" Chad reassured. "By the way, that princess Raine helped us a lot and I want to thank her as well," Xander commented because it came to his knowledge that she was the one helping them in the shadow. She was also the one who was on that motorcycle who saved him and Yera. "Ironically, his man before Tyron said to me that in case you want to thank her¡­ He said you can do it through your wife. She and your wife seem to be friends¡­" "What?! Yera knows her?" Xander burst in confusion and Chad nodded. Still confused, Xander bid his farewell to Chad and Lana. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

"Dear, how are you feeling?" mom Liz who held her hand asked. "I''m good mom Liz. Is there any news about Xander?" Yera asked. She looked around and noticed she was inside the vip room of Life hospitals. "James is outside monitoring Xander''s arrival. Last I heard was he boarded a private plane to come home to us, my dear," mom Liz responded with trembling hands. She was so relieved and very grateful that everything ended up finally. Yera and Xander both were safe. Mom Liz briefed her about the result of the trial. She informed Yera that Yun was already dead. Yera''s eyes welled up in tears of joy. Her dear husband was safe and everything had now ended. "Mom¡­ It''s really all over..." Yera murmured as the tears continuously kept flowing like waterfall from her eyes. She was crying hard and mom Liz hugged her while she gently patted her back. "Yes, dear¡­ You and Xander could finally breathe now. My children¡­ You are all free now." mom Liz comforted with a contented smile. "Come and rest more my dear while you wait for Xander''s arrival." mom Liz added as she helped Yera to lie down on the bed. She had a dextrose drip on her vein, and the doctor gave her a shot to calm herself up. Soon Yera once again fell in deep slumber. Meanwhile, Xander was so excited about finally going home while he was inside the plane. He had mixed emotions inside that he was unable to get any sleep during the flight. When the pilot finally announced that the plane was about to land, Xander felt his heart would burst with happiness anytime soon¡­ "Home¡­ Home safe home¡­" he mumbled.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/daddy-is-back_%!d(string=46984983813873345) for visiting. Outside the plane, he saw Ron, and he immediately hugged him tightly. "Oh, God, Ron. It''s nice to be back," Xander yelped and released Ron to gently pat his cheeks. Assistant Ron smiled and said, "Welcome back Boss''. Dr. Dee also wanted to welcome you personally but Cali is not yet awake and he wants that Cali should see him first the moment she opens up her eyes." Xander nodded in understanding. His friend was going through a big ordeal at that moment. "Get me to Yera first and I will check on Rui later." Ron nodded with an ear to ear grin and escorted Xander to the car going to Life Hospitals where madame Yera was recuperating. He was also feeling ecstatic as now they both, he and Shan, could finally stop using their natural method of family planning. It''s time that they finally start planning for their future babies as well. Seeing his Boss had succeeded in his mission was a true blessing, and now they could all breathe freely and live at ease. Xander half walked and half ran towards Yera''s room as soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. He knew that Yera and his babies were already safe and sound, and yet his heart was pounding hard with each long stride he took to Yera''s ward. Soon he reached the room and quietly entered. He saw his father and mom Liz looking after Yera. They both stood up and ran towards him for a tight hug. There was only a moment of silence and silent sobbing. "Son¡­ I''m so grateful right now. Thank God we finally receive our justice," Senior Yang muttered while he kissed Xander''s cheeks. God answered his prayer and protected his son from the enemies. Xander was now back with him completely safe and in one piece, unscathed. There was nothing more he could ask for. He looked at Yera on the bed and whispered, "She fell asleep due to medication." Then James looked at Liz and said, "Let''s leave Xander and Yera and give them some private time now." Liz nodded and left the room with James to give the couple some privacy. Xander immediately walked towards Yera and grabbed her hands. He leaned down and kissed Yera''s stomach, then he kissed Yera''s lips before sitting on a chair beside Yera''s bed. Xander raised his arm and put his other hand on Yera''s belly. "Babies¡­ Daddy is back. I can now talk to you guys more than your mommy. I will tell you a lot of funny stories while you''re inside mommy''s w.o.m.b so you can remember daddy''s voice. I love you, my babies¡­ Now daddy will focus on finding an excellent name for each one of you¡­" Xander, lovingly remarked. "Darling, we don''t know their genders yet for you to think of names this early." Xander heard Yera speak sluggishly. Yera moved to sit, and Xander quickly helped her. "I missed you so much, darling," Xander hummed and cupped Yera''s face for a gentle kiss followed by a tight embrace. Yera''s tears once again built up and she could not control the fire of too much joy burning in her heart at that moment. She was so grateful and blissful. Yera gently pushed Xander from her embrace to have a better view of her husband''s handsome face. Her loveable husband looked so haggard and tired. He might have not been sleeping properly there because of the trial. "You have lost weight." Yera whispered. Xander smiled at her and said with pouted lips, "Don''t tell me I don''t look attractive anymore in your eyes." Yera laughed. How she missed her husband and his sweet talk so much. Yera smiled and showered her husband with kisses while she said the words ''I love you'' directed to her husband over and over again. Xander laughed and complained, "You''re not answering me." Yera cupped his face and said, "No matter how you look¡­ Attractive or not¡­ I will still love you wholly and fully, my love, because in my eyes¡­ you will always look attractive. My heart will not stop thumping erratically by your charismatic voice and exciting touches." Then she pulled him in for a passionate, deep kiss. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

Dion welcomed him at the entrance of the hospital and hugged him tightly before asking him about everything and then walked him inside the private room where Cali was staying. According to Dion, Cali was already stable but until now she had not woken up. "Her condition is stable. Rui had been staying with her twenty-four seven¡­ Waiting for her to wake up." Dion commented. Cali was in a comatose state at that point. Everyone had started losing hope for her to wake up except for Rui, who hadn''t left her side for even a few minutes. Xander entered the room and saw Rui sitting beside Cali, staring at her face and kissing her hand. He walked towards her and patted Rui''s shoulder.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/please-wake-up_%!d(string=46984988108840670) for visiting. "Brother¡­" Xander whispered. Rui turned and quickly stood up and hugged Xander tightly. He was filled with all kinds of emotions suddenly, and Xander could see wetness at the corners of his eyes when he separated. They shared a real close bond with each other. "Oh God! I heard you''re back!!!! Finally!" Rui burst with so much joy in his heart. Xander gently pushed him and said, "Look at you¡­ You should have a proper sleep and rest. Cali will wake up soon, so you must be in good shape when she does. Don''t you want to look good when she wakes up and sees you, look how wasted you are looking right now. You have not taken care of yourself at all Rui." He could see the dark circles under his eyes. And Xander could tell Rui had cried a lot, and it was evident with those bulging eyes of his. He gained his victory, but seeing Rui in that state, he felt as if his heart was being ripped apart. His friend, his dear brother was suffering and yet he could do nothing but simply give him hope and say a few comforting words. Yera performed the surgery and his wife said that it would be possible for Cali to wake up still since her vitals were normal and she was breathing on her own. It was up to Cali now, how much she wanted to be back. Her will to live would make her come back now . Rui pulled Xander so they could sit on the couch. "Tell me how did the trial go?" Rui asked and Xander narrated him everything. "I''m glad that you finally have your freedom from those who wanted you dead," Rui said with a smile. "Yes¡­ You too should stay strong now, Rui¡­" Xander consoled while he turned his head towards Cali''s bed. "It hurts¡­ Seeing her like that¡­ But my hope that she will wake up sustains me not to give up." Rui helplessly whispered, and Xander could feel the burden in Rui''s voice. His voice laced with grief and showed how he was waiting for his wife to wake up. After some more conversation, Xander decided to leave Rui and said, "I will come back with Yera tomorrow so she could check on Cali closely. Now, Yera can monitor Cali''s condition and can personally check on her often, there is no lurking danger now." "Thank you bro," Rui muttered while Xander hugged him once more. "We will pray for Cali to wake up soon Rui. I''m sure everything will turn up good¡­" Xander comforted once more before leaving Rui alone with Cali. Rui sat beside Cali and held her hand once more. He kissed on the back of her palm gently while he lovingly said, "Sweetheart¡­ Are you mad at me? Don''t make me wait too long, please. I miss you so much. I want to hear your chirpy voice and eat the food that you cook. I also want to feed you desserts that I would make for you. Please open your eyes already." He stared at Cali''s face. She was like a sleeping beauty, only waiting for her prince charming to get rescued so Rui would often give her a kiss like now. He leaned down to give Cali a gentle kiss on her lips before he gently pulled back and stared at her face as if waiting for her to open her beautiful eyes. He was longing to see those gazelle eyes once more. "Please open your eyes, my lovely wife¡­" Rui whispered with just an inch distance of his face from Cali. He waited like that for minutes, unblinkingly to make sure not to miss the moment of her waking up from deep slumber and opening her eyes, but still there was nothing. "Please wake up Cali..." Rui whispered while his tears fell from his eyes and some droplets fell on Cali''s cheeks, which he immediately wiped away and cleaned her face. His heart was aching so hard while he added, "I will wait for you no matter how long it will take Cali, so please know that I''m always here waiting for you to return in my arms. I love you." He tried to control his sobbing because he knew there was a possibility that Cali was hearing him. That was why he always talked to her, hoping she would hear his plea. He sat back and held her hand again. He put it on his cheek. It was warm¡­ He was dwelling on himself with Cali''s warm palm when Rui felt her fingers on his cheek, flinched. "Cali," he burst and stood to look at her. "Sweetheart¡­ I felt your fingers moved? Please tell me I''m not just hallucinating? Cali, can you hear me? Please open your eyes¡­" Rui looked up, pleading and praying¡­ "Oh, God¡­ Please.." he pleaded. Then gently touched Cali''s face. "Cali¡­" he whispered. He heaved a long deep sigh seeing no other signs of her waking up and was about to sit when he felt a grip on the hand holding her. Rui looked at Cali, whose eyes were trembling as she slowly opened it. "Oh my God!" Rui burst and immediately pressed the button to call the doctor. "Sweetheart¡­" Rui who was now weeping out of joy muttered and gently caressed Cali''s cheeks. "You are finally awake¡­" She blinked, seeing him speak to her and crying at the same time while staring at Rui. "It''s me¡­" Rui whispered. Cali stared at him with a questioning expression¡­ "Sweetheart, how are you feeling???? Rui asked, but Cali only kept staring at him. Dion and the rest of the doctors soon rushed in. Rui watched the doctors while they checked on Cali. Grandpa Lua and Nanny Shine already arrived, and both were crying with tears. "Nanny Shine¡­ Grandpa¡­ What''s going on?" Cali spoke. "Do you recognize me, my dear?" Nanny Shine cried and held Cali''s hands. "Of course nanny Shine. You and grandpa. Why am I here in the hospital?" Cali asked. Dion looked at Rui, whose shoulders dropped and his eyes were filled with sadness on her reply. "How about me, Cali? Do you recognise me?" Dion asked and Cali shook her head. "Grandpa what''s going on? Where''s Kane? He''s supposed to treat me to dinner. Did I pass out? Why am I in the hospital? Why are you here? When did you and nanny Shine arrive here?" Cali asked in a row with a confused look. Rui walked towards Cali and held her hands. "Sweetheart, it''s me Rui. Don''t you recognize me???? Rui muttered with a smile as tears kept falling out his eyes. Cali pulled her hands and said, "I don''t know you¡­" Rui closed his eyes as a stream of tears gushed out of his eyes. At that moment all he wished for was that Cali be fine and never had to suffer with the pain of surgery again. "Cali, he''s your.." Nanny Shine was about to say husband but Cali suddenly cried, "Ahhh!" She held her head that she felt was bursting in pain and immediately the doctors dismissed everyone from there to check further on Cali. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

Though it was a small closed group gathering, the liveliness was not less. It was a glorious day for Xander and his family and now his family could finally enjoy freedom from all schemes of the Yue clan to end Xander and his children''s life. "Your wedding ceremony will follow soon¡­ But, hmm¡­ I wonder if the gown you selected earlier will still fit you, seeing the growing size of your belly." mom Liz teased Rizie, whose face turned crimson red of embarrassment. Yera looked at her own belly and commented, "That''s okay, Rizie¡­ Look at mine? You''re ahead of me, but my belly is thrice as big as yours already. And see how they all keep feeding me all day long!" Rizie laughed and said, "You have three hungry babies inside Yera, you must eat enough to keep your body strong and with three babies your belly has to be bigger¡­" Everyone laughed¡­ Yera then turned at Shan, who sat beside her and said, "Finally. You and Ron can have your honeymoon. Sorry Shan, if it''s too delayed." Shan gave Yera a bashful smile as she timidly said, "That''s okay, madame. It can wait."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/the-right-time_%!d(string=46984997235649056) for visiting. Then Shan looked at Ron, who was enjoying his drinks with the rest of the men. She had a loving smile while she shared, "We actually enjoyed this period of our relationship to the fullest. Me and Ron almost skipped the courting part and went to the marriage stage directly. So not having a baby for a while helped us to know each other more¡­ to grow more in our relationship as a husband and wife." The rest of the women nodded in agreement. Shan''s face reddened while she added, "Ron is actually jealous whenever he will hear news of pregnancies. He said he wanted a big family¡­" Rizie laughed and teased, "Wow so that''s why you filed a vacation leave? I bet you two are too excited for that honeymoon trip." Shan had a shy smile while Rizie continued to tease her. "Ron seems to be a quiet type of person," mom Liz commented while she looked at the men''s direction. Meanwhile, Yera smiled while her gaze directed to the men with their own group of conversation. She noticed Rui and sighed. He was smiling, but it was empty. His eyes were hollow and a layer of sadness covered him. Rizie followed her gaze and sighed as well. "I wished Cali was here with us too." Rizie murmured. Yera heaved a long, deep sigh once more. Cali suffered with partial amnesia post surgery and her memories stopped up to the day of her graduation in country V. She could no longer recall what happened after that. All her memories were gone, including them and Rui. Cali was in a crucial state as of now and it would be better to leave her alone for some time to let her heal for and recover well without telling her about Rui, her marriage and all of them because if she tried to stress her brain and remember all things and try to force herself in remembering people she already forgot¡­ It might be too much for her to process and it would not be good for her brain. "How long will Rui need to wait?" Rizie asked Yera. "I don''t know Rizie. Looking at her physical health for a few weeks but after that it all depends on Rui¡­" Yera whispered. As Xander told her, Rui wanted to give Cali a few years of freedom to enjoy her youth. But his marriage with her would remain without her knowing. Rui would introduce himself to her when the right time comes. Xander on the other hand never left Rui all throughout the night. "Bro, stay here for the night." Xander commented and Rui only answered him with a nod accompanied by a half smile. "How about we have a stag party for Dion?" Xander burst and Dion''s face twisted. Rui on the other hand laughed and said, "Bro¡­ I think you will be more busy in the coming days since Ron is going to use his vacation leave for his honeymoon so don''t you dare enjoy your freedom that much. Besides, I will also start travelling soon, so you now gear up to take care of the company like how you used to." "What the heck? I just got free from all the threats and got to spend good time with my wife, and you all are going on vacations left and right?" Xander complained. Everyone laughed while Rui patted Xander''s shoulders consoling him. "You''re not allowed to go on vacation because travelling will be uncomfortable for Yera. Wow¡­ But I do admire you, bro. Dion here only has one, but you got three in one shot!" Rui teased, trying to blend with everyone''s mood. He did not want to be the cause of a sad atmosphere because this should be a celebration for his blood brother. "Boys! I brought more beers!" They heard the joyful voice of Senior Sy, who arrived with the butler with more bottles of alcohol. "Dad surely wants us all to get drunk." Dion muttered. "Of course you boys enjoy getting drunk while I will now pull my wife to sleep. You know oldies like us should always have a proper and complete sleep." Senior Yang commented with a grin. Xander shook his head while he watched his father walk towards the ladies'' group to pull mom Liz away from them. "I won''t be surprised if those two leave soon as well for a honeymoon vacation," Xander commented with pursed lips. "Uncle has been alone without a partner for years so it''s understandable." Rui whispered with a smile. After some time, Yera already felt tired and asked Xander to walk her in their room first and everyone understood since Yera was carrying triplets so she easily got tired and felt sleepy. "Darling¡­ Stay with me for a while till I sleep." Yera affectionately asked. So Xander joined her on the bed while he hummed a song as a lullaby. "What gender do you think our babies will have?" Yera sheepishly murmured. "Hmm. I think it''s two boys and one girl." Xander answered excitedly. "Darling¡­ I forgot to ask about this. That Tyron said, you know Raine?" Xander asked. He heard Yera chuckle and said, "Yeah, when I saw that beautiful woman entering the room where kidnappers kept me, at first I thought she''s a part of that gang who is after you and wanted to harm me and my children. But she saved me like the back of her hand and not only this she was the one who had saved you several times when you were attacked by Yun. Darling... Raine is just awesome¡­ and see she is your relative also¡­ your aunt..." Then Yera sluggishly enumerated each incident, and Xander was too shocked to hear all about it. "We owe her a lot¡­" Yera muttered before totally dozing off to sleep. Xander felt Yera was already in deep slumber so he quietly raised his body up. He gave Yera a small kiss on her lips then said, "Goodnight my darling." He moved then leaned on Yera''s belly carefully to give it a kiss as well while he whispered, "Goodnight to three of you too my cute babies¡­" He was too excited to have to wait to see them already. It was decided that her wife would stop working and stay at the mansion instead both for her and their babies'' health. "Hmm¡­ I should start thinking of some beautiful names for our babies." Xander excitedly whispered while he walked back to the garden to join everyone. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

He knew Rui was having a hard time, and he wanted his friend to travel places while Cali was recovering. Cali only needed the people in her memory and those she could recall right now, and Rui was not one of them. So he decided to go back to work as early as he could and kick Rui out to enjoy himself with his favorite hobby of travelling around the world like how he used to before. At Yang Globals group building, Xander was warmly welcomed by his people. Almost the entire staff was present to welcome him with a sweet smile on their faces. "Welcome back Dr. CEO." greeted the officers outside the building as soon as he stepped out of the car. He smiled and shook his head while looking at the welcome banner hanging at the entrance. He smiled sweetly to everyone and greeted them back, "Thank you. It''s really very nice to be back!" "Oh, my sweet office!" Xander burst out after inhaling and exhaling loudly. Ron watched his boss in amus.e.m.e.nt. He had an ear to ear grin because in two days'''' time he could finally go on a honeymoon vacation with his dear wife. "Boss¡­ These are the pending projects and the rest of the doc.u.ments for your signature. We settle everything with the investors..." Ron could not hide his excitement that he literally briefed Xander to all the pending works he was about to hand over to him. Ron continued with the endors.e.m.e.nt that made Xander arched an eyebrow. "What is this, Ron? Not even letting me sit for a while and feel the warmth of my office that I could step in after months? Stop grinning like that." Xander scolded while he sat on his swivel chair. Ron pursed his lips that instant, scratched his head and said, "Sorry, Boss. I''ll be back as soon as I can." "No need. Don''t worry about here and enjoy your honeymoon with Shan. No need to rush back immediately. It''s just that you will still report here tomorrow, right? So why do I feel like you are running out of time telling me everything in one go?" Xander teased with a grin while Ron''s face reddened in embarrassment. After an endors.e.m.e.nt like forever, Xander dismissed Ron to start with his work. He stood up from his chair after a few hours and dialed Yera''s number. He wondered what his wife was doing.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/shadow_%!d(string=47149841033263297) for visiting. It had become his routine to call his wife whenever they were not together. He got used to it during his stay at country V. "Yes darling?" Xander heard Yera''s energetic voice on the other line. Smiling, Xander asked, "What are you doing?" "I''m at the mall, buying gifts for Rizie and Dion. I will come there straight to join you for lunch." Yera cheerfully said while she looked for things to buy. "Hmm, alone?" Xander asked. "Yup. Why? I was getting bored at home besides I still can manage going around a bit." Yera commented. "But darling, you should at least bring a helper to pick your stuff¡­" Yera chuckled and said, "what for? I''ll just buy a set of nighties and men''s wear. It doesn''t even weigh¡­" Xander sighed and said, "alright after that come straight here." Yera then ended the call after reassuring Xander that she would not take very long. Yera had a mischievous smile while she was paying for the gifts. The sales lady was about to hand her the paper bag when a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "let me carry this for you ma''am." "I''m sorry? Do I know you?" Yera beamed. The woman gave her a smile and said a word that made Yera blink several times in disbelief. Xander told her that if she heard that code it meant that they were a part of the shadow security of the Yue clan to take care of them in the shadows. "It''s actually nothing. I can manage to carry that." Yera muttered as they walked through the exit door where her driver was waiting. "Let us do our job ma''am or we''ll be answerable to princess Raine." The woman replied. Yera gulped recalling the scene on how deadly Raine could be. Surely, her people were so afraid of her. "Thanks. And please send my regards to your princess." Yera muttered before she went inside the car. She arrived at the hospital and walked directly into Xander''s office. As soon as she was inside, she told Xander what happened. "How long do they plan to keep that security around us? It feels so awkward when someone is approaching you like that out of nowhere." Yera complained with a crumpled face. Xander chuckled and said, "Hmm, the clan is quite capable and peculiar. I see nothing wrong about it. Besides, it''s not like they will approach you often. You will not even feel their presence just that whenever it''s necessary. Like now¡­ You have triplets, so the one looking after you don''t want you to get tired¡­" Yera heaved a long sigh and changed the topic by asking, "Is Rui here? Let''s eat with him." That was what he was thinking also, so Xander responded, "Yes, he''s here. He will leave after attending Rizie and Dion''s marriage ceremony. You call him darling since he can''t say no to you¡­" Yera nodded and dialed Rui''s number on her mobile phone. The three had lunch in the restaurant inside the hospital. Xander looked at Rui and said, "how long do you plan to travel?" Rui chuckled and said, "I''m planning to stalk my wife soon so I won''t take long. Nanny Shine said Cali wants to still study cooking. She''s so excited when she accidentally saw the acceptance letter in her room. So once she goes there, I''ll follow her there too." Xander nodded. Cali was now already aware that she underwent brain surgery and a part of her memory was lost. "When do you plan to tell her?" Xander asked, referring about the marriage. "I don''t know yet¡­ it will be a lot to process seeing how she is so excited to study again. Besides, I wanna see if Cali''s heart could still recognize me once I start courting her again." Rui mumbled and forced a smile on his face. He still did not have a concrete plan on how to approach Cali, but one thing he was sure of¡­ Cali was his wife and he would do everything to win her back even if she could not remember him. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare. Read at : #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 475 - Heart At Ease Yera was having tea with her mother-in-law when her mobile phone rang. It was the private doctor she had assigned for her cousin Jam. Mom Liz noticed Yera''s aura changed while talking on the phone, so she asked, "Is everything alright?" Yera smiled and nodded, then heaved a long, deep sigh. "Mom, my cousin just gave birth. I will go now and visit her." Mom Liz nodded and watched Yera leave through the door. She heard about Yera''s relationship and feud with her cousin from James and she admired her daughter-in-law for her decisions, because not all people had the capacity to grant forgiveness once they were wronged. And not all people could change for the better, like Yera''s cousin as well. In a private room of Life Hospital, Jam was sobbing while she looked at her newborn baby girl in her arms. It was time to pay her debt and say goodbye to her baby. "Mommy will come back for you so while you wait you have to grow healthy and a good obedient girl. Don''t be like mommy who is stubborn and causing a lot of troubles to everyone. I hope your aunt Yera will let you see daddy sometimes while mommy is away¡­" Jam muttered in a cracked voice. Yera entered the room and saw Jam was there crying. She heaved a long sigh and asked, "What did you name her?" Jam was startled. She quickly wiped her tears and tilted her head to answer Yera. "Her name is Hope." She replied with a half-smile. Yera smiled and walked to her and asked Jam, "Can I?" Jam nodded, and Yera gently picked baby Hope in her arms. "She''s so cute," Yera praised as she sat on a chair beside Jam''s bed. "She looks more like her father." Jam murmured. "Right¡­ Her eyes, nose and lips are from Lyndon," Yera seconded. "Yera¡­ I''m ready to pay for all my sins as soon as I get discharged. I know this is too much to ask from you, but can you look after Hope during the time I am home away?" Jam timidly whispered. She knew it was too much to ask, but Yera was the only one she could trust for her daughter. Lyndon''s family had already left the country to start a new life abroad, and she did not want her baby to be that far away from her. With Yera, they could visit her often with her baby Hope and the nanny. "Hmm, Jam, as you know I am carrying triplets. I think that''s a handful enough for me to handle already to add baby Hope also, so why don''t you yourself fulfill this responsibility and take care of her?" Yera said with a grin. Jam''s jaw dropped. She wondered if she heard those words correctly from Yera, and her interpretation was right. Yera lifted her head and met Jam''s eyes. Yera smiled and said, "Don''t you think it will be too cruel for me to separate baby Hope''s mother from her. Baby Hope needs her mother Jam. I have already forgiven you¡­ You and Lyndon. Seeing you both living in the right path and seeking repentance is just enough for me. Hatred, anger and keeping the pain in my heart will make us all miserable. I will not send you to prison Jam, but I hope that what we experienced in life will be thought of as both a moral lesson to live our life on the right track." Jam''s tear fell from her eyes like a rigorous river while she repeatedly said the words, "Thank you" to Yera. "Stop crying Jam or baby Hope will also cry. Look at how adorable my niece is. I''m sure Lyndon will be delighted to see his daughter¡­." Yera whispered. After a heart to heart talk with Jam, Yera went next to visit Lyndon in the prison to personally deliver the good news about Jam''s delivery. She waited at the visiting room and saw Lyndon entered. Until now, his head was still down. Yera sighed because she understood Lyndon why he couldn''t look at her straight yet. Though she had already told him that she had forgiven him, Lyndon felt that he still had no right to lift his head up to look at her straight. "Congratulations on your baby girl. She''s so adorable. Jam named her Hope and she will soon bring your daughter as soon as she recovers to visit you." Yera murmured. "Thank you Yera for everything¡­" she heard Lyndon whisper, stuttering. He was crying. "Hmm, they say that you must look into someone''s eyes if you''re sincere in thanking them. I guess you''re not sincere enough since you can''t look at me in the eye." Yera said in a jest that immediately made Lyndon to rise his head up and look at her, "There¡­ It''s better talking with you looking at each other Lyndon. Let''s all move on please and don''t let the past pull us down. You''re a father now and after a few more years you can finally be free and be with Jam and baby Hope. I want you to know that the one responsible for attempting to kill me has already been punished. It is a long story, but everything is now cleared. Serve your years well inside and once you come out¡­ If you want, you can still work for the group as Dion''s aid." Yera offered with a smile. She and Dion already talked about it. Lyndon was a capable man when it came into handling the company, and he could be a big help to Dion someday. She herself wanted to focus as a wife and a mother while accepting a few minimal surgeries if needed. Lyndon stared at her with a shocked expression and parted lips. He did not know how to react with Yera''s kind words. "Stop staring at me like that, Lyndon. What I said is real and you''re not dreaming," Yera said with a chuckle because Lyndon''s expression was like Jam''s.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/heart-at-ease_%!d(string=47149845848325886) for visiting. "But Yera¡­ After everything¡­" Lyndon breathed. He did not know whether he deserved all the generosity Yera had been doing not only to him but most especially to Jam and their baby. "Everyone who repents for their sins deserves a second chance Lyndon. You and Jam deserve a second chance," Yera genuinely stated. Only a person like Yun who did not know the word repentance did not deserve a chance in life. Seeing Lyndon and Jam who wanted to live an honest life and start their life in the right path made her heart at ease. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please DON''T SUPPORT PIRACY for your Author''s welfare.

Grandma Terry commented, noticing how crumpled Rizie''s face was ever since she and Dion arrived at the villa. Every weekend, Rizie and Dion would stay there with them until Sunday. "Grandma, Dion is suffocating me!" Rizie burst with rounded eyes that made grandma Terry chuckle. "Dear, your wedding ceremony is nearing so don''t quarrel with your husband now. Just try to understand him a little. You''re carrying his baby so it''s natural that he''s protective towards you," Grandma Terry commented because she observed how Dion always made sure that Rizie was being taken care of. "Grandma I understand him, of course I do, just that he''s simply overreacting already. You know he doesn''t allow me to even visit any place I want to, unless he''s with me! Grandma, I''m already in my second trimester and how much more months before I can do things on my own? My pregnancy is not that sensitive, unlike others. Look at sis Yera? Bro Xander lets her do what she wants to, and she also goes out whenever she wants, even alone sometimes. Do you know how boring it is to stay at Han''s ancestral mansion? Oh, goodness¡­ It''s so big for just the two of us to live there!" Rizie continued to complain and grandma Terry laughed once more. Rizie was not this emotional before, but probably due to her pregnancy, she was easily irritated with her husband''s protectiveness. While Rizie was busy complaining, Dion entered the house and saw his wife''s crumpled face while she talked to grandma Terry in the living room. He sighed deeply before curving his lips into a wide smile. He understood Rizie''s change in behavior, and lately he was always the victim of her irrational mood swings. Dion wrapped his arms on Rizie''s neck from behind and said, "Grandma¡­ I bet Rizie is again complaining to you about me." Grandma Terry laughed and nodded. Dion kissed Rizie''s cheek and whispered, "I''m sure our baby will look like me for sure since your eyes are only seeing your poor husband almost all day. Stop being grumpy and get up, let''s take a small walk outside love. Let''s see the beauty of the villa. Josh has made a lot of renovations in the villa." "Speaking of Josh? How come I don''t see him and Shane often? Since we arrived, I haven''t seen them yet?" Rizie asked. Grandma Terry shook her head and mumbled, "Those two are always inside their room or out staying at the resort¡­ I guess they want to give your baby a playmate soon." "Oh, yeah. They are in their honeymoon phase right now and Josh definitely deserves this time alone with his wife and need to give her a lot of love..." Dion commented and pulled Rizie out from her chair. He held her hand and turned to grandma Terry before leaving, "Grandma, I''ll just walk Rizie out to unwind." Grandma Terry laughed and nodded. "Go and enjoy the fresh air outside¡­" Dion put his arm on Rizie''s shoulders as they walked outside. "This place is really nice¡­" Dion commented seeing all the greenery and the scenic beauty that surrounded the area. "Do you want to stay here with your family up to our wedding ceremony? I can feel that you''re getting tired of my presence." Dion mumbled in a sullen tone that made Rizie suddenly feel uneasy. She herself could not understand how grumpy she was often to Dion and at that point she felt so guilty, so she stopped walking to look at him. "It''s not like that. I just want a little more freedom, Dion. You see, I''m not that dumb. I can take care of myself and my baby. I know my limitations well, so I hope you won''t be exaggerated in taking care of me. Like simple washing of dishes? Really? Will that harm me and the baby?" Rizie pinpointed with nuzzled lips. "Hmm, okay if you want you can stay here. Next week is the wedding ceremony, so I think you should stay here until then. I won''t see you for these days to avoid stopping you from doing things that you want to. I''m sorry love, I don''t want to overdo things myself, but it''s just that I can''t help myself from being worried about you, you know! I don''t want you to get stressed or be hurt at any cost. I can''t see you getting even a single scratch, not even a single bite from insects as well," Dion frustratingly explained. "I love you so much¡­ But then you have a point and somewhere your anger is also justified, so I will trust you with your health and our baby." Dion added. Rizie''s eyebrows arched because she was not convinced. Knowing her husband well, she was sure Dion would bug all those in their villa about her health and so she cleared, "Don''t you dare call any of them and keep checking every detail of what I''m doing¡­" Dion laughed and nodded. Rizie pursed her lips and was about to sit on a bench, but Dion stopped her and said, "Wait¡­ Let me check first if it''s clean or not hot." Rizie''s shoulders hunched as she watched her overprotective husband inspect the bench as if there were any insects or anything there. "It''s clear. You can now sit." Dion said smiling. "See what I''m saying?" Rizie mumbled with pouted lips and Dion only answered her with a grin. "I can''t help it. My wife is too precious for me," Dion muttered with a wink before sitting beside Rizie as they stared at the mountain view from their seats. "Riz, do you know how hard it is for me to grow up without a father? I mean, my mom and grandpa gave me everything, both the love and materials I needed. But still, I couldn''t help but long for a father. I guess that''s why I''m over protective knowing you''re pregnant. I''m a possessive future father to be¡­" Rizie heard Dion whisper that made her turn her head on him and stare. Dion never opened something like that to her before. His face looked serious while he gazed in a particular direction. "I''m actually nervous. I mean, I hope to be a good father, though I grew up without a father and could never experience the love and security of having a father. But I want to become a perfect father to our child Riz. I want to protect him and be there for him as much as I could¡­" Dion added. Rizie touched Dion''s shoulders and urged him to face her. She smiled at him and said, "You should have said that before, so at least I could try to avoid complaining to you all that time. You don''t have to get nervous, my love, because I''m sure you will be the best father in the whole world, for our child in the future like how you are the best husband for me. Come here and give me a breathtaking kiss, more breathtaking than the view before us." Dion gladly obliged and enclosed his wife into a passionate kiss and embrace. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustomaFind authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/the-best-father_%!d(string=47149852290776889) for visiting.

Shane was still catching her breath after the strenuous exercise on the bed with her husband. She looked at the wall clock in their room and saw it was almost lunchtime. Both of them just ate breakfast with everyone, then came back and stayed in their room afterwards. Josh said that the family would understand their absence since it was the weekend, the time he could have her for himself the entire day, but Shane still felt shy about it.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/i-want-a-baby-too**_%!d(string=47149855780437870) for visiting. "Get up, Josh. Let''s go out now. I heard Rizie and Dion will also arrive today." Shane whispered, but Josh only snuggled in her neck and said, "I want to stay here with you the whole day." Shane chuckled and said, "Aren''t you getting tired of me? I mean, we''ve been very active in lovemaking since we confessed our love to each other." Josh tilted his head and stared at her lovingly. "Hmm, tired of you? Heck no! I feel so revitalized whenever you''re near me. I don''t get tired, but instead I can''t get enough of you. Don''t you specialize in toxins as well? You mentioned that before that you have studied about various toxins and their usage during your training as a shadow beauty elite. I am sure you have poisoned me to make me fall for you like this? I feel so helplessly in love with you... my wifey." Shane''s face turned crimson red with those words from her bullyman husband. How she loved his sweet humor and how he made her heart flutter all over again every time he sweet-talked her. She rolled on top of him, brushing their nude bodies together. With a wicked smile on her face, she seductively whispered, "What to do, I was so hopelessly in love with you that I wanted you at any cost? How come it''s erect this fast?" She could feel his erect rod and she teasingly brushed her folds on it that made them both m.o.a.n in pleasure. She bit her lip as Josh cupped her b.r.e.a.s.ts and reached out to nibble her erect n.i.p.p.l.e. She hummed when she felt him sucked while he played on the other side with his palm and fingers, gently flicking her n.i.p.p.l.e. "I told you¡­ It''s better to stay here in our room all day long," Shane heard him whisper in his hoarse voice before his lips closed the other n.i.p.p.l.e and gently pulled it, making her squirm with a mixture of pleasure and pain. "I want to have a baby too." Shane whispered as she closed her eyes and gently moved her h.i.p.s and buttocks up then slowly down to engulf Josh''s rod within her opening. "Hmm. Alright¡­ Let''s work hard for it then, wifey." Josh replied huskily and pulled his wife for a deep kiss while she moved on top of him, inspired in imploring him for another climax. Soon they both cried in climax. Shane, drained out of energy, helplessly slumped her body on top of Josh and muttered, "I love you." Josh hugged her tightly and whispered, "I love you too." Both of them did not mind how sticky their bodies were at that time as long as they cradled each other. "By the way, I have to go back to country V after the wedding ceremony. I need to settle some things over there¡­" Shane commented. Yun and Mr. Long were both dead already but she needed to fix something in the system of the Yue clan as requested by Raine. "I will also go with you," Josh commented. "By the way¡­ I heard from Min that your territory, Yue clan territory has some secret dungeons. I just accidentally heard them talking about it." Josh recalled to ask. He accidentally heard Jun and Min talking about checking the dungeons but when he asked the two, they changed the topic. "Don''t get curious about it my love, because only the royal blood has access to it. My brothers did not answer you because it''s a forbidden topic and must not be disclosed to outsiders. You''re still an outsider so I will not answer you as well." Shane commented and deliberately changed the topic. She stood up from the bed and said, "Let''s get up, take a shower hubby and go down. It''s lunch time now and I don''t want us to be the center of the teasing and bantering for everyone okay. I really feel so shy!" "Wait¡­ You mean Xander should know about it as well since he''s a part of the royal blood right?" Josh did not let go the topic as soon as they were inside the Bathroom. "No! Xander doesn''t have pure blood. I mean he''s no longer pure blood since his father is not one from any of the clans. Oh gosh Josh¡­ Don''t ask anymore or I will not sleep with you at night!" Shane grumbled because she knew how persistent Josh could be if he wanted to know something. That instant Josh no longer pondered on that topic and totally shut his mouth and closed it. As expected their showering did not end up purely bathing. Another round of m.o.a.ning filled in the bathroom of the couple. When it was about lunch, the two went down to join the family. They walked inside the dining area holding hands. "Oh, finally¡­ I get to see you guys. I thought me and Dion would leave the villa without even seeing your shadows around us." Rizie greeted them with a teasing remark as she gave Shane a cheek to cheek kiss and a hug. Shane''s cheeks reddened with embarrassment while Josh answered, "Well, we are still in our honeymoon period so what do you expect from us sis." Grandpa Shen signalled them to sit down, then he led a prayer before they all began eating lunch. "By the way, I will stay here for the week up to the wedding ceremony," Rizie enthusiastically informed. Then she looked at Shane excitedly and whispered, "Let''s go out Shane and have fun for a few days, while I am here." Shane nodded and smiled, but Josh''s face crumpled, assuming what his twin sister was planning. "Wait sis¡­ You mean you are going to pull my wife out with you every now and then?" Josh burst, realizing his twin would compete him for his spare time with his wife. Rizie knitted her brows and mumbled, "What Josh? Don''t tell me you plan on locking up your wife in your room for the entire week?" Josh shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "Why not?" Shane''s face reddened hard in embarrassment and she even elbowed her husband to stop, but Josh only looked at her and grinned. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 478 - More Than Special Jam felt so happy as Yera had given her a new life, a new beginning to start afresh with her baby. After five days in the hospital, she got discharged with her baby and went directly to the house Yera had provided her. Yera also gave her enough money, insisting she should not decline her friendly offer because it was the money for the time her parents worked at the company during Yera''s absence. Yera also said that her baby who was innocent deserved all this for her future. Who was she to reject such generosity? Though she knew she did not deserve such kindness after everything she did and the ill thoughts she harboured against Yera. But she was more than grateful for everything that she felt so lucky for having such an unexpected blessing. Good things happen when someone truly repents for their wrongdoings. So Jam vowed to herself that she would live her life to always follow the right path not only for her but most especially for her baby. She smiled and looked at the crib where baby Hope was still sleeping. After a few days of recuperating, Jam scheduled her surprise visit to Lyndon with her baby.

"Baby Hope¡­ We will visit daddy today. How come you''re still sleeping? Are you saving your energy to be awake when you meet your daddy?" Jam whispered. She heard knocking on the door and the nanny came in to tell her that she had already prepared baby Hope''s things for their visit. "Let''s go, baby Hope," she whispered as she gently picked up and carried her baby in her arms. The jail where Lyndon was imprisoned was almost two hours ride from the Capital City, and her baby was still asleep when they arrived at the prison. At the prison where Lyndon was detained, the guard knocked on the cell and shouted, "Prisoner 2256. You have a visitor¡­" before opening the door. Lyndon immediately brushed his hair with his hand and grabbed his perfume. His cellmate teased him and said, "Is that your wife now?" The other one interrupted, "Who else could it be? Only his wife visits him so often. I bet she has brought their baby with her this time, since the last time he heard his wife had already given birth to a baby girl." Lyndon blushed and only answered his cellmates with a bashful smile as he excitedly waited for the guard to pick him up from inside. He wondered how Jam would react if she came to hear those people calling her his wife, since whenever he would be asked who his visitor was, he would refer to Jam as his wife. How nice it would be if Jam was truly his wife. He wanted to propose to her as soon as he got released from prison. But then he could no longer wait and asked Shan to help him buy a simple ring for Jam. He quickly grabbed the small box as soon as his cell opened and the guards escorted him out towards one of the rooms for visitors. Jam waited at the private room where Lyndon could see his visitors. She smiled as soon as the door opened. Lyndon wore his prisoner''s outfit with a number. His hands were handcuffed as well. He smiled at her and his eyes quickly looked at baby Hope she was holding in her arms carefully. "She looks more like you." Jam commented and looked at the guard at the door and asked, "Can you take his handcuffs off for a while so he can hold his baby?" The guard granted their request and removed Lyndon''s handcuffs. Jam stood up and let Lyndon carry their baby. "She''s sleeping deeply," Lyndon murmured as tears rolled down his cheek. He could not believe that he was now a father to this beautiful baby. "Hope," he whispered, and the baby''s eyes slowly opened, followed by a cute yawn and smile. Lyndon''s heart melted at such a wonderful scene. "So adorable¡­ Can you see daddy already? Do you recognise me, my little doll? Will you remember me when you come the next time?" he whispered and gently raised the baby to kiss her on her cheeks. Jam chuckled and answered, "She can''t recognise anyone yet at this age. I think after two months she will¡­" "She''s so adorable," Lyndon whispered lovingly and Jam leaned forward to take a look. "Very pretty¡­" Lyndon added, and Jam turned and met Lyndon''s gaze directed at her. She suddenly blushed and Lyndon gave her a roguish smile. Jam could not contain the fluttering of her heart at that moment. It was like the surroundings froze and Lyndon''s face moved closer to Jam to kiss her, but they heard a little cough from the guard and Jam immediately picked her baby up from Lyndon. "I will bring her often to meet you, once I get the approval of her pediatrician. Right now, it''s not advisable to travel with her frequently¡­" Jam mentioned easing the tension and her embarrassment. Lyndon nodded. He waited for Jam to sit on her chair first with her baby before he went to her side and bent on his knees. "What are you doing?" Jam asked, blinking her eyes in awe. Lyndon grabbed the box in his pocket and opened it. "Jam, will you please marry me? I want you to be my lifetime partner. I want to spend the rest of my life with you as soon as I get released and be a good husband and a great father to her. Please give me the opportunity to love you for the rest of my life, Jam." Lyndon sincerely said, almost begging in front of Jam with all his heart. Jam''s tears welled inside her eyes and fell down her cheeks like a rapid river. She started crying out loud that Lyndon suddenly felt so worried. "Jam?" he whispered. Jam controlled her sobbing, realizing her baby was staring at her and was about to cry as well. She wiped the tears and muttered, "I''m just so overwhelmed and feeling really blissful. I don''t know if I deserve everything. All that''s happening to me feels too good to be true." Lyndon slightly rose up to help her wipe the tears on her cheek while he asked, "That means you agree to marry me, right?" Jam nodded. "I''m sorry that I can''t prepare something special to propose to you. I tried to ask the management here, but for the prisoners here the rules are very strict." Lyndon explained and kissed Jam''s forehead. "That''s okay, Lyndon. Hearing these words from your mouth is more than special for me." Jam lovingly responded. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 479 - The More The Merrier At Yang Global''s group conference room, two parties were completing the merging and joint venture of two hospitals, Yang Globals and Life Hospitals. Dion and Xander convinced the members of the board that the consolidations between two hospitals would offer benefits, technology sharing as well as research opportunities for the staff between the two giants, and would also benefit their consumers. "Congratulations bro," Xander extended his hand to Dion as soon as the signing of papers were done. Dion grinned and responded, "Congrats to you too, bro!" Then they took photos while others congratulated each party. After everyone was dismissed, Xander turned to Dion and said, "Come home at dinner. Mom and dad have asked you to stay there while Rizie is at Lim''s villa." Dion nodded and replied, "I will go back to the office then go there directly." Then he bid Xander farewell and left. Soon it was dinnertime and Yera with her mom Liz handled the cooking of special dishes since both of them felt bored doing mostly nothing inside the mansion. The table was set already for dinner when Xander arrived, and shortly Dion also followed. Senior Sy felt so happy seeing Dion joining them all on their table for the first time. Then, suddenly, he voiced out, "Dion, son¡­ How about you and Rizie stay here at Yang mansion? We have a lot of spare rooms and Liz could ask someone to renovate rooms if you prefer a much larger and a customize one? What do you say?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/the-more-the-merrier_%!d(string=47393744978240867) for visiting. Mom Liz''s eyes brightened and seconded, "That''s a great idea." Then she looked at Dion and said, "The two mansions are so big and the more the merrier. If your family grows in number and you still wanna shift later, then you can always go back to Han mansion. Son, your father''s suggestion is brilliant. That way I can look after all of my grandchildren every day!" Dion grinned, seeing how excited his mother was. He remembered her mentioning before if she would keep shifting between the both mansions weekly, so no wonder she was too excited about that idea since she did not have to move from one mansion to another every now and then." "Yeah, I also agree bro. You and Rizie should stay here. I am sure Rizie must be so bored of staying alone there while you''re at work the whole day." Xander seconded and soon was followed by Yera, who also supported the idea. Dion chuckled and said, "I will ask Rizie about it then tell you mom what we decide." "Rizie surely will agree since I have heard her always complaining about being alone and your possessiveness for her and the baby." mom Liz nonchalantly mentioned that made Dion laugh. "You mean, she also complains to you about me?" he asked as he shook his head. "Well, I think she''s complaining to almost everyone about you," Yera interrupted with a grin. Rizie complained to her also and said how jealous she was with her freedom, since she could freely do whatever she wanted, unlike Rizie. Yera grinned, thinking how easy it was to make Xander surrender in front of her and make him do anything she wants. So unlike Dion, who was strict with Rizie. ''Poor Rizie¡­'' she thought. "Hahaha¡­ I guess we will expect a little Dion in her w.o.m.b. I heard that it''s normal for pregnant women to get easily irritated with a particular person or thing. Or sometimes it''s the father who will experience morning sickness or other pregnancy symptoms on behalf of the wife." mom Liz commented. Most of them bantered and Dion was always the target during the entire dinner that he could not help but complain, "Maybe it''s not a good idea to stay here or else I will be a victim of bullying." Because he was sure that his wife would join the rest in bullying him. Xander, who got up from his chair first after eating, walked towards him and patted his shoulder. "My poor brother. Come and let''s leave these bullies alone here. Join me outside for a drink." "I will join you two as well. You go ahead first. Let''s all have a man-to-man talk without the ladies." Senior Yang excitedly interrupted, and Xander nodded before leaving the dining area. Dion soon followed, and Senior Yang as well. Meanwhile, Yera and mom Liz went to the living area for dessert and to continue watching the drama series they had been following. They were at season two already of the series, and it was up to season five. Last time, they slept on the couch because they both could not check the time by marathoning the episodes. Both Xander and father got angry at them. Father scolded mom Liz more since she was the senior. So father James gave them a curfew in watching the television together in the living room. "Mom, I''m excited about Rizie¡­ I will call her tomorrow to inform her of father''s suggestion. I''m sure she would love to stay in here with us." Yera commented while she peeled some oranges. "Yeah do that dear. What episode did we end last night? I mean, before we fell asleep?" Mom Liz asked while she pressed the remote and scanned the episodes. Meanwhile, the men were at the garden with their beers and snacks while talking about the companies and merging. Senior Yang listened to his two sons exchanging ideas, and he could not help but feel proud of the two. God was so kind to his family. Yes, they experienced the storms in their life, but then it was true that God would not give such trials they could not handle and solve. And now, looking how everything was working well, he was very grateful. No one could foretell what the future holds but as long as his family were intact and together, like before, together, they would surpass everything. "Look at you two. Oh, I feel so proud having two sons like you guys," Senior Yang could not help but voice out. Xander chuckled while Dion''s face blushed. "I really hope you and Rizie can stay with us, Dion. What are your hobbies, son? Do you enjoy playing golf?" Senior Yang asked. Xander listened while the two talked like a real father and son. He gained another brother, and he knew Dion was also longing for a father, though he grew up so well. He smiled on how Dion was still a bit timid in front of his father, but knowing his father''s nature, he was sure the two would enjoy each other''s company and would soon be closed with each other. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 480 - Quality Time At Yang Mansion. The next morning, James and Liz got up early and went out for a jog. It would be the first time for them to exercise together since James would only do some exercising in the gym inside Yang''s mansion. Liz rarely liked exercising using machines and equipment. She preferred running and doing dance exercises even aerobics but James did not want to accompany her in dancing while she followed the tv screen so they decided that they would both jog in the morning together. Liz was panting heavily when she came running and sat on the blanket spread on the grass. She had already instructed a helper to put those there as their rest stop, where their bottled water and towels were kept as well. She chuckled, seeing James was still almost one meter apart from her. He stopped near her while catching his breath. He was profusely sweating and his shirt was completely soaked in his sweat. He hastily pulled up his shirt and removed it in a swift motion. With his hands both on his side waist, James looked up with eyes closed and felt the cool fresh breeze passing through his body.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/quality-time_%!d(string=47393748719561707) for visiting. Liz gulped, witnessing the mouth drooling sight before her. ''Oh, yummy!'' she thought as she bit her bottom lip while watching the lean muscles on Jame''s chest and belly. "He is looking utterly delicious right now." Liz breathed and quickly scolded herself for being so naughty in her thoughts so early in the morning. James looked younger than his age and was still very fit, he was comparable to a middle-aged man in his looks and stamina. Her brain wires started sparking and recalling their intimate moments together. She indeed fell in love with him because of his charm that acted like a magnet when they met for the first time in Han''s mansion. Little did she know at that time that his flawlessly built would supersede all that drew her to him and she would, one day, be bewitched by his muscular body and their intimate bed exercises. Oh, how she loved being enclosed in his embrace every time they slept together. She forgot. James was already her husband, so maybe she would just make him sleep topless from now on and enjoy caressing his muscular body as much as she wanted. She unknowingly squealed on her own, feeling happy with her decision to sleep with her topless husband. Her super naughty thoughts were about to give her a nosebleed when she was intercepted by James''s voice. "Liz?" she heard James whisper as he joined her on the blanket on the grass. Liz blushed and bashfully smiled while she handed him the bottle, then grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat off his arms and chest. "You''re zoning out," James commented after drinking water. "I''m not zoning out¡­ I am drooling¡­" Liz candidly mumbled with a grin while her cheeks were still red. "Hahaha¡­" James burst in a fit of laughter, realizing what his dear wife meant. Liz pouted her lips and squinted her eyes on him so he immediately wrapped his arms around her and defended, "Don''t get me wrong, just that I feel it''s funny that at this age, someone like you still adores me and drools over me." Liz''s eyebrows arched as she beamed, "And why should I not? You''re even hotter than most of the youngsters I have met, nowadays." That time, Jame''s was the one whose face turned crimson red. So Liz''s face changed, forming a teasing smile on her face. "Oh, my dear husband is blushing hearing praising words for himself! So cute!" she muttered, followed by her poking on James on his sides. James'' eyes rounded as he complained, "Stop that¡­" But Liz only made a teasing face, not minding herself acting childish, not so her age. That was what James loved the most about his wife. He felt so young whenever he was with his wife, so carefree, like he was back to his youth. His wife continued to tease and poke him, so he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, and her head bounced on his chest. Liz had a mischievous grin before showering Jame''s chest with kisses. Jame''s body stiffened with her shameless actions out in the open. The sun was about to rise and someone could see them, so he whispered in his hoarse voice, "Stop that Liz¡­ Someone might see us fooling around like kids here." "So what if someone sees us? I''m having quality time with my husband so they should leave us alone. Besides, it''s still early. None of the children would be awake at this time." Liz commented, enjoying how her husband was being shy. She of course stopped kissing him, but she was startled when James suddenly stood up and lifted her on his shoulder like a sack of grain. "Hey put me down¡­ Stop!" Liz complained because James was walking back briskly back to the house. She was too surprised when he even spanked her on her butt to make her stop making any more noise. "This is your fault¡­ You need to be punished for teasing your husband so early in the morning!" James mumbled as he strode with long steps back to the house. "Someone might see us, James¡­" Liz beamed. They looked like kids, acting not their age, and the sun was rising already. "So what if someone sees us? I''m having quality time with my wife so they should leave us alone." James replied, repeating the exact words she said to him a while ago. Liz chuckled and screamed when James suddenly ran. "Put me down now, James. Let''s watch the sunrise¡­" James stopped and gently pulled Liz down, but instead of sitting on the nearby bench, Liz gave him a peck on his lips before running back towards the lawn. Behind her ran James, trying to catch her once more, but Liz was a quick runner. She went in circles while letting James run after her, trying to catch her. "Liz¡­ I will really punish you badly. Stop running¡­" James yelp and Liz laughed replying, "Catch me if you can. Don''t tell me you can''t even catch me." Meanwhile, outside their balcony, Yera witnessed all that since she woke up earlier than usual that morning, since she slept early last night. She grabbed her mobile phone on the table and got a video of that scene. "Oh¡­ They are so cute." she whispered, enjoying watching her in-laws playing outside. Later she would definitely tease her mom Liz. She then felt a powerful embrace from behind. "Darling¡­ Why are you peeking on the a.d.u.l.ts playing? Let''s go back to bed..." Xander sluggishly commented. "I''m not sleepy anymore. Go back to bed and I''ll follow soon. Our parents are enjoying and playing and I''m enjoying watching them so happy together." Yera answered, grinning. "Darling a few more months and I think it will be difficult to hug you like this," Xander teased that made Yera pursed her lips and grunted, "But being fluffy like this is so huggable!" "Of course, darling. Besides, I will never stop hugging you¡­ and kissing you..." Xander added, trying to pull back his wife to bed. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 481 - Eyes Looking Only At Her The very much awaited day of the wedding ceremony of Rizie and Dion was almost there and everyone was busy in preparing for the party. Everyone wanted to look their best. Xander''s family wanted to have the best wedding as this would be the last for a long time in their family. Xander''s wedding was also a very low profile due to Yun''s attacks, and hence all of them were very excited for the coming wedding ceremony of Rizie and Dion. Yera was one of them who pulled Xander to accompany her to buy a dress she should wear for the wedding ceremony. She already had one designed by their family fashion designer a few weeks ago, but seeing how her size was getting bigger with each passing day, Yera disregarded it and didn''t feel good in that dress. She wanted something that would fit her perfectly on the spot. So she looked into her wardrobe just a day before the wedding ceremony. Their designer prepared a lot of dresses to choose from for her, considering her pregnancy, so it should not be a problem in her thought. She just needed to choose something that would make her look better, given her current shape. She and Xander walked hand in hand inside the boutique. "I still remember the first time I chose clothes for you, darling. That was the first time I saw your bare legs when you were trying to fit in your dress." Xander whispered while he helped Yera choose a gown that would fit her nicely. Yera pursed her lips and teased, "Was that the first time you felt it could get up?" Xander reddened as Yera playfully nuzzled her lips, pointing it to his crotch. He heard his wife chuckle, seeing his embarrassed look. Yera pinched his cheek and said, "Do you know how lucky and thankful I am that your hmmm¡­ You know that¡­ only looks up at me?" Xander pouted his lips and Yera eased his embarrassment by giving him a light kiss on his lips. "See how fated are we to be together?" Xander proudly whispered and Yera nodded. "Darling, this one¡­ I think this will look good on you." Xander commented and called the manager since they already picked five.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/eyes-looking-only-at-her_%!d(string=47393753031304606) for visiting. "Try it already darling, I think you can choose one amongst these from there." Xander added and Yera went to the fitting room with the manager to assist her personally. Xander sat down on the sofa and grabbed his mobile phone to take photos of his wife in every dress she would wear. Yera came out of the fitting room in her first outfit, and Xander faced the camera towards her and began clicking her pics on his mobile phone. "Darling, that looks good. The color suits you well. Oh, all my little babies are growing up so well and can be seen so nicely in this dress," he commented with a smile, admiring his beautiful wife looking more alluring with her big baby bump. "I don''t like this." he heard Yera whimper with a crumpled face and went back inside the fitting room. Yera then came out again in another dress. It was a nude colored dress, and though Yera''s stomach was already big, Xander could still feel the growing desire in his lower body. She always looked too s.e.xy to him. "Darling, you look sensual," he whispered, gulping at the cleavage of his wife. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were getting bigger too than her normal size. Yera looked at her reflection in the wide mirror from head to toe. Then she looked back and hissed, "I don''t like this. I look like a seahorse with this bump." Xander stared at her with his mouth agape as he watched his wife stomped her feet back inside the fitting room. "Did I say something bad?" he wondered, seeing how his wife was frowning at him. He was simply admiring her baby bump and swollen b.r.e.a.s.ts with his looks. Yera again tried another dress and like the other dresses, Xander found her so gorgeous in every gown she changed into. But his dear wife seemed still not satisfied as she commented, "I can''t breathe in this one!" Xander moved his neck left and right, then looked at his wristwatch. They''ve been there for like almost an hour and he was itching already to carry his wife back to their home and lock her in their room and play naughty with her. He was feeling so aroused after seeing her in every dress she fit that he wondered why she still could not decide what to wear when everything looked so great on her. Yera came out again wearing another gown this time. "Oh, darling¡­ I think that one is much better for you. Like a maternity evening gown. You look so beautiful." Xander praised the crystal beaded gown on a heart-shaped cleavage line. But Yera knitted her brows and commented, "My b.r.e.a.s.ts look like a chandelier in this!" Xander blinked several times in disbelief while his eyes followed the back of his wife, returning inside the fitting room. He was yawning when Yera came back out into another dress. She saw him yawning, so she grunted, "You can go home first if you feel so bored!" Xander gulped and gave his wife a sweet smile as he stood up and cupped her face. "Darling¡­ I''m not bored, okay. I''m enjoying seeing you in so many different outfits, but the problem is that your beauty is making me feel hot, so much so I''m getting impatient already to take you back home with you." he whispered in his wife''s ear, loud enough only for her to hear. Yera''s cheeks blushed, and she gently hit her husband''s chest and muttered, "Stop that! We''re not alone here." Xander chuckled. "That''s the reason you are still dressed otherwise¡­ By the way, this dress is gorgeous and is very suitable for you. Let''s get this one." he then commented with a wink. Yera shook her head and said, "No. I don''t like this. I feel like I''m wrapped in a curtain." Xander''s jaw dropped while Yera turned around and walked back inside the fitting room. He couldn''t believe how his dear wife became conscious about dresses, whereas earlier she did not even care about those kinds of stuff at all. Now an hour has already passed and she still could not decide what to wear. After some time, Yera came out again in a black dress¡­ This time she seemed satisfied, but Xander could not help and comment, "Darling, the dress is absolutely stunning and you look great but the color¡­ I think wearing black to Dion''s wedding gives a dim vibe. It''s best you wear something bright and colorful." Yera''s face crumpled. But her husband had a point, however. Black was satisfying as it gave her a slim look, given the current shape of her body she wanted to feel confident, but black was definitely not right. She could not help herself from being self conscious. She looked at her husband, who stood up and picked another dress. "Oh this, try this one, darling. Let me help you fit in it¡­" Xander said and dismissed the manager to help his wife instead. It was a hot pink pleated chiffon long gown. Inside the fitting room, Yera gasped when Xander bent down, kissed her tummy and said, "Babies, mommy is having a hard time choosing a dress for herself." Then she heard him sigh and added, "Doesn''t she know that she is the only one and the most beautiful woman in my eyes? She probably thinks she''s no longer s.e.xy, but how do I make her believe that I honestly adore her s.e.xiness right now with the bump. Please tell her to choose this dress already so we can go home? Because daddy will soon have blue balls if she still takes more time in fitting a dress while daddy is imagining her without a dress?" Yera chuckled and with pouted lips whisper, "Alright stop bugging our babies and I''ll get this one. Hmmp." Xander straightened and hugged her tightly. "Whatever you wear doesn''t matter because you always look super hot and super s.e.xy to my eyes. Aren''t my eyes the only things that matter, darling?" Yera''s lips curved into a beautiful smile. Her husband was right. His eyes looking only at her mattered the most after all. Chapter 482 - Vows The very much anticipated garden wedding ceremony of Dion and Rizie finally came. The setup of the dusty color palette including crystals and cherry blossom like plants stressed the rustic theme and beauty of Lim''s villa gardens even more. "Hmm, you look so pretty dear!" Rizie''s mother exclaimed. "Yes sis. I still can''t believe that our youngest already has her own family. Goodness, and even a baby of her own. It feels just like yesterday when you used to complain about seeing couples visit here in the villa." Her sister Lyra, who recently gave birth, commented. "Yes, so true. I can recall how crumpled her face often used to be whenever you or your brother Zach would show off their affection to each partner¡­ Hahaha now here she is pregnant before even getting married!" Grandma Terry seconded. "Grandma stop that! I''m already married, remember? We have already registered our wedding in advance!" Rizie defensively corrected. "Oh, yeah. Okay¡­ I''m just teasing you, my dear, so stop frowning. It''s your big day today." Grandma Terry murmured with a grin. Soon, her twin Josh entered together with her father and big brother Zach. "Ready? The ceremony is going to begin soon." Josh informed and Rizie nodded. For her a ceremony was unnecessary, but Dion with his family and her family as well begged to disagree, saying a wedding ceremony was a must even though she was already legally wedded to Dion. She stood up from her seat and smiled as she proceeded outside to walk towards the reception. The glam of nature brought about by the ravishing surroundings and embellished scenic views encompassed by the cool weather made everything look so lovely. Grandpa Shen walked her on the white carpet, leading her to Dion. A satisfied smile curved up on Rizie''s lips seeing her husband lovingly staring at her and waiting for her to arrive to him. That was what made the day perfect¡­ Seeing her husband there, waiting for her. He was so handsome, and Rizie felt proud of herself that she could captivate such a perfect man for her. ''Is he crying?'' Rizie mused, seeing Dion was scratching his eyes from afar. "I think he wanted to back-out at the last moment or finally he realized he made a big mistake marrying you but he knew there''s no more return¡­" Rizie heard her grandpa Shen tease with a chuckle. "Hmmp, grandpa, this is my wedding. Why are you teasing me like that," she murmured with a smile still plastered on her face. She loved seeing her husband becoming emotional like that. Between the two of them Dion was more emotional, sweet and clingy. "Look at that crybaby¡­" she lovingly whispered as her eyes welled up too. Dion sniffed, and Xander passed him a tissue. "No bro, I have my handkerchief¡­" Dion replied, picking up his handkerchief. Then a beautiful smile curved on his lips, recalling how his love story started because of his special handkerchief. "Bro, do you know that everything started because of this handkerchief?" Dion whispered to Xander, who stood beside him as his best man. Xander knitted his brows and replied, "Hmm, tell me about it later. Right now focus on your wife. Eye contact is very important and touching for the bride. I''m thrilled for you, bro." Dion chuckled and nodded. Among the crowd sitting as an important guest and witnessing the wedding was Shane, who could not help but give Rui sneak glances now and then. "Stop that?" Josh commented, noticing how his wife kept on looking at the table where Rui was seated. Shane heaved a long deep sigh of frustration and said, "Cali¡­ How I wish she was here. I will leave soon to accompany her with Kane¡­ It''s hard to see Dr. Dee being ignored like that when before it used to be Cali who was head over heels running after him, using every means to bring him in her life." "Hmm, you and Cali are alike I guess. Running after your man to get his attention?" Josh teased that made Shane blush so hard. She could not even defend herself from her husband because it was a fact. She was the one who pursued Josh, whatever side you would look into it. "I''m not complaining though¡­ I''m even grateful¡­" Shane heard Josh added that gave a sweet smile on her face. Rizie finally reached in front of Dion and grandpa Shen handed her hand saying with a wink, "Our hardheaded Rizie¡­ we entrust her into your hands." "Grandpa!" Rizie scoffed, rolling her eyes. Dion chuckled and nodded as he held Rizie''s hand to face the marriage officiant. At the moment of the marriage vows, Dion looked at Rizie deep in her eyes and said the words he never did to her before. "I''m really grateful Rizie. Thank you for not friend-zoning me¡­" Dion started that made Rizie chuckle. "Is that your vow?" Rizie whispered, but the crowd heard it and laughed. Flushed, Dion quickly replied, "Of course not!" "We started as friends and I want you to know that I will remain not just a friend or a husband but a man deeply in love with you and will stay by your side for a lifetime through thick and thin, for richer or for poorer till death do us part¡­" Dion added with a loving beautiful smile.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/vows%C2%A0_%!d(string=47393756789401013) for visiting. It was now Rizie''s turn for her vow. She had a mischievous smile on her face as she began, "We started as friends and I want you to know that I will remain not just a friend or a wife but a woman deeply in love with you and will stay by your side for a lifetime through thick and thin, for richer or for poorer till death do us part¡­" "Did you just copy my vow?" Dion burst in disbelief. Rizie nodded and explained, "I heard a lot of vows perfectly prepared and it''s so nice to hear all of them but keeping them sometimes is hard so I thought whatever your vow is to me I will repeat the same. Those words are pleasant, but I would rather see actions than hear words¡­" Dion pouted his lips and commented, "If I knew you just didn''t prepare something for me¡­" "I love you!" Rizie blurted out with a wink. "Look at those two talking like we are not hearing and watching them!" Liz complained and James laughed saying, "They are cute and fun to watch though..." Chapter 483 - Scream For More* The wedding party continued at night during dinner. Josh and Shane hosted the party and made sure their families and closest friends would enjoy every moment of it. Rizie and Dion expressed their gratitude to all their guests. "We will always be thankful for everyone who became a special part of our love story." Rizie stated, then she also shared to everyone how she and Dion met and gradually became friends and finally fell in love. Dion was blushing as the guests teased him. He himself was very grateful as he approached Rizie that day and offered her his handkerchief. "And finally, he ended up not only offering a handkerchief but even his shoulders to cry on!" Torin interrupted Rizie''s brother-in-law, which made the guests burst out in laughter. Xander on the other hand was mostly busy on the mobile phone and cursed as soon as the call ended. "I shouldn''t have let Ron take that long vacation¡­" he murmured as he went back on his seat. Rui laughed and commented, "You look so stressed out. Don''t worry. I''m back now and will help you out until Ron is back from his vacation." Rui came back from his trip just to attend Dion''s wedding ceremony, so Xander said, "No need¡­ Go and enjoy yourself. Besides, Dion is there with me. Just that Ron is a very competent and reliable person, you know that¡­ I just got used to his flawless working style. He should soon train someone to be like him, or better, as his assistant to be around in his absence." Yera chuckled at her husband''s crumpled face and gently pinched his cheek saying, "This is a celebration so stop frowning." Xander quickly smiled and nodded. The couple, Rizie and Dion, soon bid their farewell to the guests and left the party. "Is it okay for us to leave the party in between?" Dion chuckled and answered, "Of course¡­ They will all understand that we''ll be on our honeymoon." Rizie shook her head as she walked with Dion within the vicinity of their villa. They left the party early since Dion said they would go somewhere, but they were still inside Lim''s territory. "You mean honeymoon under the evening sky? Just holding hands and embracing each other?" Rizie mumbled with pouty lips. Dion laughed and kissed her hand that he was holding lovingly.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/scream-for-more*_%!d(string=47393761067592774) for visiting. "Hmmm, do you expect us to do more tonight?" Dion teased. Rizie pouted her lips and remained quiet. It had been awhile since they made love because Dion was always busy. He would often come home late and very tired lately, not to mention how protective he was regarding her pregnancy and their baby''s state. She did not complain though because he was extra thoughtful about her, always checking on her and making sure they still had that bonding everyday even with some simple talks and by having first and last meals together. But she was missing getting intimate with him. She knew that even she could initiate it anytime since she was not the shy type and he would never reject her. But seeing how restless he was for the past few days and even looked tired, she rather chose to let him have that good night and long deep sleep with him embracing her. "I miss you¡­" Rizie responded. Dion smiled because he understood what she meant. Rizie was looking down at the ground while she said the words so she did not notice they were almost there, the spot Dion wanted to bring her to. Dion signaled his helpers to turn on the lights and disperse afterwards. "Look¡­" Dion whispered and Rizie raised her head. She gasped as her eyebrows raised, seeing the lighted path to a tent. It was very romantically arranged, very much like that night when Dion gave her that surprise camping date. Her face flushed so hard, suddenly recalling that night when they first came physically close. The arrangements tonight were grander, and the view was superb from that spot. She told Dion how she loved hanging out there a lot. "Let''s have our honeymoon here tonight since we cannot travel very far and be gone for long at this time," Dion apologized. He wanted his baby''s safety and the joint venture with Yang Globals was also taking too much of his time at this point and the same goes to his bro Xander, who often complained lately for agreeing to Ron''s long vacation. Rizie entered the tent excitedly. It was big and with a cozy set-up inside, including those added petals on the bed that gave a relaxing scent. As soon as Dion was inside, he hugged Rizie tightly from behind and kissed her neck. "Sorry that lately this husband of yours has been very busy. God, I missed you so much. If you only knew how much I have missed you, Riz." Dion whispered, very grateful that he had all his energy that evening to give more attention to his wife and make love to her until they were both exhausted. Rizie, with a glowing face and pink cheeks, turned around and gently kissed her husband. "I missed you too, you know¡­" she murmured in his mouth as she savored those soft lips of her husband. She bet they would have gentle and very careful lovemaking knowing her husband, so she initiated aggressive movements, wondering if her husband would still scold her. She pushed him so he would lay on his back while she let him watch and removed all of her clothes. "Did you make sure no one would peak on us here?" Rizie teased. "No¡­ This tent is like soundproof so no one would hear your scream." Dion exaggeratedly commented before rolling over Rizie so she would stay beneath him. Well, no one would dare unless they would want to get fired from the villa since Zach and Josh secured the vicinity with CCTV cameras and that spot was off limits from workers. "I will make you scream for more tonight than I had ever done¡­" Dion whispered before hungrily capturing Rizie''s lips. He would not spare any skin and sensitive parts of her wife untouched tonight. His hand started trailing from Rizie''s upper body to caress and make her shiver before those palm and finger trailing and caressing were replaced by his lips, tongue and mouth as he licked, sucked and nibbled on each and every part of her body. He sucked her sensitive n.i.p.p.l.es, and Rizie squirmed under him. After staying away from each other for more than a week, they both were loving even a single touch initiated by the other. Dion sucked on both her b.r.e.a.s.ts and trailed his kiss down to her navel, then her lower abdomen, and finally he took her to the height of desires when he kissed her between her thighs. He used his hands to flick her clit and rubbed his fingers inside the folds. Rizie was drowning in the feelings and loving his touch that she had been missing for the past days. Dion then ducked and took her clit between his lips and slipped his finger inside her hot, wet cave. Rizie inhaled as he did that and trembled slightly under him. He kept on sucking on her clit and rubbed his fingers on her upper inner walls, touching her most sensitive spot, making her flinch with ecstacy. Her husband seemed to be focussed on making up for those days he missed, and Rizie tried her best not to make loud m.o.a.ns as she lovingly hummed her husband''s name repeatedly. She might end up screaming out for more like what he said. Chapter 484 - Look At Those Abs At Yang Mansion. After a week of their wedding, Rizie and Dion moved into the Yang mansion since they both believed that it was a good idea to stay there. "Did mom Liz call already? When are they coming back?" Yera asked Dion. It had been a few days since her in-laws left to fly at country V to bring back mom Liz''s father with them. Rizie looked at her husband questioningly, as she also wanted to know when she could finally meet her husband''s grandfather. Dion had strictly refused to allow her to travel abroad, so she had not met him yet. Dion''s grandfather was supposed to attend their wedding, but he suddenly felt a little unwell and his family doctor forbade travelling even in their private plane. Hence he could not travel to their country to attend the wedding. Her in-laws left to look after him the very next morning after Dion''s wedding. "Yeah¡­ Grandpa is doing well now and mom said he can travel with them after two days." Dion answered, relieved hearing the good news. "Oh alright. I will have the room prepared for him. That will be fantastic when he also arrives here. I heard from mom Liz that her father is a very bubbly and funny person." Yera excitedly burst. She wanted all their family members to live in their mansion. She started loving it, all of them living together. Ever since she had lived with the Ken brothers and their wives before, she loved the environment of a big family. She was missing her in-laws already and wished they came back soon. She loved their company, especially mom Liz who was extremely adorable and fun to be with. "Yeah. he''s like mom you see¡­" Dion agreed.

As soon as Rizie was done with dinner, she got up and hurriedly pulled Yera from her seat and said, "It''s time to watch¡­" Xander shook his head as he watched the two women leave him and Dion shamelessly at the dining area to watch their television series. "I don''t get why those preggies get addicted to those dramas." He mumbled before drinking a glass of water. Dion sighed and muttered, "They like the actors and the story. Don''t you hear them scream aloud every day whenever there''s any romantic or sweet scenes?" Dion did not watch any of that but he felt like he had also been watching the same because Rizie kept talking about the story non stop every night, updating him about what happened in the episodes that she watched. Well, he also loved listening to Rizie since she was so into it as she unknowingly mimicked some actions herself that he found really cute and refreshing. "I hope I can watch these episodes with them as well," Xander scoffed, making Dion laugh. "Do you need backup bro? You really look exhausted," Dion then looked at the exhausted form of Xander and commented. Xander was obviously loaded with work since Rui was also not around and Ron was still on a vacation. Xander shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Nah, I''m good. As soon as Ron arrives, I will take a grand vacation as well with Yera." Dion blinked his eyes and asked, "Really? But sis is pregnant? I mean look at her belly, it''s bigger than normal and I think it won''t be safe if she travels¡­" Xander chuckled, seeing the worried expression of Dion. He could now understand why Rizie was complaining. Dion was exaggeratedly protective. "Bro, are you a doctor for real? We are all doctors here. Especially your sister, Yera. She, of all people, knows her body very well, you know." Xander specified with a grin. "Besides, we will not go that far just to my favorite resting and relaxing place." Xander added. "Oh, you mean your villa?" Dion asked and Xander nodded. Dion had heard about it and his sister mentioned it was indeed a nice place for relaxing too. "We can''t have a vacation at the same time, especially now, so I will go first and after us then you and Rizie too can go and relax there. It''s safe with Rizie to go there Dion since you can travel by road." Xander recommended. The couple would surely enjoy his villa. He grinned, recalling how the place was very memorable for him and Yera. Dion shook his head as he stood up. "Where are you going?" Xander asked. He dared not bother Yera whenever she was watching her favorite drama. "At the living room and see why those two can''t skip watching that drama series. What kind of freaking actors they have to get them hooked at it so badly" Dion answered plainly. Xander stood up as well and jokingly said, "Nah, leave them alone and join me and let''s go for a drink. Let those girls scream without us or else we will only feel irritated once you watch them swoon over the male lead¡­" "Alright, maybe that''s better." Dion seconded and followed Xander who directly walked into the bar since he would also discuss something with Xander about his sister''s suggestion to bring Lyndon back at Life hospitals to help him if the court would approve Lyndon''s release since his sister was planning to plead for Lyndon''s release. They went out and walked in the hallway and passed by the living area. "Oh, my gosh!" Both men heard those words at Rizie and Yera so instead of going upstairs, curious, Xander paused and went left to the living area and Dion also followed. Their wives were squealing loudly, discussing the perfect body of the actors, like they were the only ones at home. "Look at those abs!" Rizie blurted out. "I know right?! It''s worth drooling. Oh, if I was in her place, I would not hesitate for a single day before sleeping with him." Yera commented mischievously with a grin that made Xander''s face bloated. He looked at Dion in disbelief while they were behind their wives who were too busy to even notice their presence. "Go pounce at him!" Rizie cheered Yera and Dion tried hard to suppress his laughter. Xander''s face crumpled more and he could not help but comment, "That abs are not even that good compared to mine!" Hearing her husband''s voice, Yera''s eyes widened, and she turned her head around to see Xander looking at her with squinted eyes. Her husband''s face was too wrinkled, so she chuckled and seconded, "Of course, darling. Your six pack abs are much better than his." "Really? Does bro have six packs? Last time I recall he had just four." Rizie naively commented, recalling it during the company outing where her bro Xander had that motorboat accident. Xander coughed and still sourly said to Dion, "Let''s go Dion and have a drink. Let our wives drool over those not so handsome actors." "Well Dion doesn''t have abs but a belly so he will understand," Rize scoffed in a jest and gave her husband a wink. Dion only shook his head and pulled Xander out, seeing the signal to do so from his sister. After the two men were gone, Rizie whispered, "Aren''t you going to console bro? He looks sulky and mad." Yera laughed and replied, "No need¡­ Xander''s grumpiness doesn''t last very long. Later on I will just kiss and make up with him, and he will smile again within seconds. Let''s not talk about them and watch that..." Chapter 485 - Babysitting At Lua''s Residence. Cali was too excited about finally being allowed to go out. Her doctor had given her a signal since she was fully recovered after a few weeks of rest in the hospital and later at home. "Nanny Shine I still can''t believe Shane is already married. I mean, did I miss a lot of things already in that span of time?" Cali mumbled while Nanny Shine helped her in combing her hair. "Don''t think much about it. Like what Dr. Han said, you should not overthink about past things." Nanny Shine answered. "Yeah right, because I feel my head bursting whenever I try to recall things that happened in this time." Cali confessed gloomily. "Oh, God dear! We told you many times not to push yourself to remember anything. Let time bring your memories back. And my dear child, if there will be anything or anyone important that you do not remember right now, he will come to you eventually and so will your memories!" Nanny Shine panicked that made Cali chuckle. "Yeah, don''t worry, I''m good now. I''m managing it well, just that I''m shocked to see Shane with a man. Can you imagine this? She''s like a late bloomer and to be honest I always thought that I would marry first." Cali blurted out with a grin. ''You are already married also, my child, just that you do not remember him and your marriage anymore.'' Nanny Shine thought with a heavy heart and breathed a sigh of frustration as she fixed Cali''s hair. She could not help but pity Rui. She and Ben, Cali''s grandfather, were both in a dilemma because of it. They wanted to tell Cali about him but like Rui suggested, it would not be good for Cali''s condition at this time so they sealed their mouths as tightly as they could. ''I am sure he already misses Cali a lot.'' she mused. They heard knocking on her door, and Cali screamed seeing Shane opening it and entering inside. "Oh, you''re here!" Cali burst and ran to Shane for a tight hug. "Of course. You said you will soon leave to study abroad, so I want to spend more days with you here." Shane stated with a grin. "Did your husband agree to let you come and live here for so many days?" "He has no choice or I''ll beat him up," Shane replied. "But wait¡­" Shane muttered, looking at Nanny Shine then continued, "Will it be safe for Cali to study? I mean, exams and pressure won''t be good for her." Cali laughed, hearing those and defended, "Hey, what do you think of me? My brain is functioning well, so no pressure besides did I experience such pressure while studying business with you, huh? I am almost a genius when it comes to studying, don''t forget that!!" Shane nodded, recalling how happy Cali was and enjoying her college days. She had a habit of enjoying whatever it is that she did. "I heard grandpa will not let you go unless you take along a personal doctor with you. So tell me¡­ Did you somehow meet him already? Is he handsome?" Shane teased then she exchanged meaningful sneaking glances with nanny Shine. "What are you saying? He''s just a babysitter, duh. I told grandpa I don''t need one, but then I agreed since they will not allow me to go without a chaperon. I have not met him yet, but I''m sure he will not last long with me because I will make sure he would regret accepting such a job offer of babysitting me." Cali scoffed with a smirk. Shane suddenly felt sorry for Rui, seeing those playful and naughty grins of her friend. She could still remember Cali playing pranks on some of their teachers. She had a knockout in it. "Calli your a grown up woman now so be more mature. Oh, and be good to your personal doctor because he''s someone respectable and very nice. He''s a friend of the Han''s and I heard he is really impressive and still single and young¡­" Nanny Shine commented. Cali''s eyes narrowed because she already heard an overrated praise all over again that it pissed her already. "Why do I feel like you and grandpa have some agenda behind sending him with me? You keep saying nice things about that doctor all the time and that makes me feel like you both are selling him to me. Nanny Shine¡­ I still have a lot of dreams okay so I hope you and grandpa will not dare get me into an arranged relationship or something. That''s why I''m refusing to have a private doctor, and why the heck do I get a male one? Always keeping an eye on me! Why could you not assign some female doctor who could at least live like a friend with me the whole time?" Cali, like a volcano, finally erupted. Shane laughed and grabbed Cali''s hand.

"Hmmm, I heard he is the best among those who are willing to accept the job so don''t be like that Cali. I''m sure grandpa and nanny Shine say those words only so that you stop rejecting the idea of him being around you. Anyway, stop sulking and let me hear about all your plans¡­" Shane interrupted. Nanny Shine bit her lip to control the sudden nervousness she felt from Cali''s outrage. She should warn Ben not to overdo their endors.e.m.e.nt of Rui since Cali was getting irritated instead of getting inspired. Then she thought because they pity Rui too much, that was why they mention him a lot to Cali, hoping she could somehow remember her loving husband. "I''ll leave you two and go get some snacks for you¡­" Nanny Shine informed. When she left, Shane listened well all to Cali''s plans. She was too excited to become a professional chef. "Hmm, did you remember about your cooking? I mean, when was it when you became fond of cooking and baking?" Shane curiously asked. "Not really, I just feel it, Shane. Also, I saw the email of acceptance so I probably submitted my intention to go to their school and for some reason I feel so excited." "So you will meet your private doctor there in that country directly or you two will meet here and travel there together? What''s his name?" Shane asked naively. "I''m not sure and really not looking forward to meet him. He''s Dr. Rui Dee. I always heard his name from nanny Shine and grandpa." Cali replied plainly. Shane had an ear to ear smile and said, "I know him!" Cali''s eyebrows lifted. She was surprised, so Shane took that time to say all good things about Rui. "Why would someone like him accept such an offer from grandpa? Didn''t he know how hard it will be to babysit a stubborn woman like me?" Cali mumbled. "Well, maybe there''s some specific reason for him to do so." Shane simply responded. She heard Rui was abroad studying more about Cali''s case as a doctor while Cali was still recuperating. Shane subconsciously squeezed Cali''s hand and added, "I hope you enjoy your stay there Cali and don''t cause a lot of trouble to the poor doctor since he''s a family friend of my husband''s." "I''ll try but I won''t promise¡­ You see I hate being guarded!" Cali stated with a wink. Chapter 486 - Penguin At Yang Globals Group. Xander gave Rui a call to check how he was doing. He initially thought Rui was having vacation to unwind and destress, but he accidentally found out from Dion that Rui was studying abroad about neurology most specifically about Cali''s case.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/penguin_%!d(string=47542860337183878) for visiting. "Hey bro! How come you say you''re on a vacation but actually not. Do you know how hurt I was when I found it from Dion and not you exactly." Xander chided, which made Rui laugh on the other line. "You sound like a wife being lied to by her husband, bro!" Rui scoffed, still laughing and enjoying his friend''s sulky tone. Then Xander heard a loud exhale from him before he added, "I just don''t want you to worry too much okay. So I thought it''s much better if you think I''m having a vacation because I am almost having one. I''m enjoying here, studying more about the human brain you see. The functioning of the brain, the effects of brain injuries and measures to take after the surgery. I am also learning some deep secrets of the brain, and after this entire curriculum, I can surely even read your mind before you speak it." "Alright then prove me all this once you come back¡­" Xander challenged and Rui laughed. They talked more about Rui''s plan, and Xander admired him for being patient. He was too determined to make his wife fall in love with him again. "Okay bro. I''m always here whenever you need me. We are all here and are cheering for you. Make sure you make Cali fall so deep for you that even if she suffers from amnesia again and forgets even her own name and family, she remembers you for sure ." "Thanks bro. It doesn''t matter if she forgot me and all our memories together because I will create fresh memories with her over and over again. I will make her fall in love with me again." The two of them were still talking when Xander was interrupted by Yera''s surprise visit in his office, so Xander said goodbye to Rui. He looked at her wife with a bright smile. She was in her maternity dress, and still she looked s.e.xy to his eyes. Xander sighed and suddenly thought how devastating it could be for him if Yera would not recognize him at all someday like Cali forgot Rui. Yera also had suffered with amnesia, but he came into her life at the right moment. "I brought you something delicious. Come here and eat while it''s hot. Is that Rui you were talking to right now?" Yera asked while she prepared the table to join Xander for lunch. "Yeah it''s him. Darling, let''s go for a vacation next week. What do you think about spending a week in the villa?" Xander commented and sat on the couch beside his wife. He hugged her tightly as he rested his chin on her shoulder. He was dead tired, but being with her and seeing her took his restlessness away. Yera smiled and murmured, "Alright, we will go then. I missed the villa and would like to return and stay there longer too. Come eat first and I will give you a good and relaxing massage inside your private room after lunch." Xander''s facial muscle flinched. He would prefer a different kind of massage and not the body massage or else his body would end up aching all over. Yera chuckled at the conflicted face of her husband so she said, "I''m just joking, darling. I know I''m bad at massaging since I only excel with a scalpel in my hands." Xander then chuckled and snuggled on her neck while he whispered, "You can give me a massage, but make sure I will decide which part of my body, you know¡­" "Shh you pervert!" Yera scolded him while she flushed. Xander chuckled and pinched her nose and said, "Let''s go eat now and I will expect that massage afterw¡­" Yera suddenly stuffed his mouth with a bun of bread to silence him. The couple shared a hearty lunch together like their old times when Yera was still working at Yang Globals before joining her own hospital in disguise. "Ron and Shan will come back tomorrow, right?" Yera recalled as she put more vegetables on Xander''s plate. Xander''s face soured and mumbled, "That brute¡­ He should be here today, but he said they missed the flight. Imagine that alibi?" Yera laughed and said, "It''s only a day so let him besides he and Shan need that time since they will be busy again once they are back." Xander no longer commented. "You should eat more¡­ Why are you putting all the food on my plate?" Xander reacted and put more on Yera''s plate. "Remember, our three babies are inside darling." he added and touched Yera''s enormous belly lovingly. "I''m keeping my sugar level down. I don''t want a high-risk pregnancy. Don''t worry I''m feeding them well enough okay," Yera replied chuckling. Her babies cooperated with her well. She actually did not find any discomfort except for the fact that of course they were heavier than a normal pregnancy since they were triplets inside her belly. "A few more weeks and I will walk like a penguin already," she said in a jest and Xander laughed. "Is it funny, huh?" Yera irritatedly hissed, which made Xander scratch his head. Yera also had those mood swings during her pregnancy, but he knew well how to handle it. The secret for it was him always agreeing with her in anything and making his wife feel better with kind words. His condition was far better than his brother Dion, and he was luckier because Dion said Rizie often had this temperament where everything he did annoyed Rizie. "No¡­ Of course not, darling. I find it too cute, you know. You''re so cute in my eyes." Xander commented, followed by a sweet hug to Yera. "Later you massage me instead!" Yera barked. She herself was stunned on how she couldn''t control herself spurting childing things, so what she would often do was to apologize to her husband in advance or make it up to him whenever she was in her good mood. Xander immediately spoke his famous words, "Yes, darling." "You should stay home by then and remember to not exhaust yourself. I''m excited to find out their genders already, to be honest¡­" Xander added to divert the topic, though he knew they would need to wait a few more months. After lunch, the couple rested in each other''s arms for a while inside the private room while watching the news. Yera noticed an exercising machine at one corner, so she asked, "Is that new?" "Yeah. It''s your fault that I bought that. I will try it in my free time in the office to have a six-pack abs so next time you won''t need to drool over some actor and fix your eyes only on my abs." Yera''s eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to stare at Xander''s serious face. "Fore real? You''re still sulking over the abs thing?" Xander did not respond, but the pouting of his lips answered it all. Yera shook her head and burst out laughing. Chapter 487 - He’s My Carbon Copy Months had passed, and a lot had happened during this time at the Yang mansion. One of the major events was Rizie giving birth to a healthy and adorable baby boy and they named it Ran after Dion and Yera''s deceased father, Randy. "He''s so cute," Yera commented seeing the tiny baby boy brought by the nurse inside Rizie''s private room at Life hospitals. "Baby Ran hello¡­ I am your aunt," Yera cheered. Xander smiled and excitedly said, "Soon we''ll also see our girls and the boy." Yera nodded. Her due date was next month. She was nervous and excited at the same time. Unlike Rizie who had a normal delivery, hers was going to be a caesarian section so she could basically pick a desired date next month for her delivery. Soon, the Lim family arrived to visit Rizie as well, so Xander and Yera left first. "He looks more like his father," Shane commented and Dion proudly smiled as he held his baby boy. He was now a father. ???Where are your parents and grandpa?" Grandma Terry asked since they brought a lot of fresh fruits from the villa and meat as well to give to Dion''s family as a gift. "They were here the whole day yesterday. Mom and dad will come back before lunch while grandpa will stay home and take a rest." Dion informed and grandma Terry nodded. "Have you hired a babysitter?" Sheila asked Rizie. "We didn''t mom. I would like to attend Ran on my own. Besides, Dion will be happy to assist me," Rizie bragged with a teasing smile. Sheila looked at Dion, who''s so busy talking to the baby in his arms. "Yeah and he looks too enthralled. Babies are mostly awake at night for the first few weeks after birth, so you two should take turns in feeding him. You''re a mother now, Rizie, and I hope I input enough examples of a good mother as you grew which you can use for your child." Sheila commented. Rizie nodded and whispered, "You''re the best mother for me mom and I only hope I can be the best mother as well to our baby." Sheila held Rizie''s hand and said, "Don''t worry and just enjoy the motherhood. I''m sure you''ll be a great mom and even better compared to me, who knows?" "Haha, I doubt mom. Actually¡­ I''m nervous and excited at the same time¡­" "Look grandma how handsome my Ran is. He''s just my carbon copy, I looked exactly like this when I was a kid¡­" Rizie heard Dion boasted. She chuckled at her husband. He kept saying baby Ran was his duplicate to whoever visited them, singing praises on how handsome and adorable his baby boy was. Dion had been eagerly waiting for this moment and he looked like a proud and loving father. Dion finally let go of his baby and let his mother-in-law carry baby Ran into her arms. He walked up to Rizie and muttered in her ear, "I''m really so proud of you, Riz. I love you." Rizie''s cheeks reddened as her heart fluttered. Ever since she woke up, Dion never stopped saying how grateful he was to her for giving him baby Ran well and sound, not to include how strongly she managed her delivery. He sat on a chair near Rizie''s bed while he grabbed her hand and lovingly kissed it. "We should aim for the little Rizie next." Dion candidly commented. "Shhh." Rizie scolded, but by then everyone had already heard what Dion said. "I agree with Dion. It would be lovely to have a little Rizie also very soon," Grandpa Shen seconded with a chuckle. Rizie''s eyes rounded as she commented, "Stop it, grandpa. It''s not easy to be pregnant, you know." Then she shifted her gaze to Dion and added, "You men will never understand it." Dion''s lips pouted as he defended, "Of course we men understand it very well, especially me. It''s not easy for me getting bullied and abused weekly." Rizie''s eyebrows raised as she said, "So now that I gave birth to your son you are voicing out all your complains that you kept during my pregnancy?" Dion gulped but quickly corrected, "Well, I''m willing to get bullied and abused by my wife all over again as long as I get to have more adorable babies in the end, you see¡­" Everyone in the room laughed while Rizie tried her best not to, but failed as she chortled. "Oh, I suddenly thought of sis Yera. Imagine her having three babies in one delivery... It''s very advantageous, like shooting three birds with one stone. But looking at her a while ago I also felt that it must be really uncomfortable walking around like this." Rizie mumbled and Dion agreed. Yera, in her late pregnancy, had to use a supporter to walk since her belly was too heavy already. She mostly used a mechanical machine chair as well when going out as Xander insisted for her to not walk a lot. "By the way, guys, we also have good news¡­" Josh announced, getting the attention of everyone. Josh had a wide bright smile on his face as he said, "Finally¡­ I''m going to be a father too!!!" "What? Shane is pregnant?" Rizie burst, her eyes darted on Shane who was sitting on the couch with mom Sheila and grandma Terry who was now holding baby Ran. Shane timidly nodded. The couple became frustrated as for months they tried every method for Shane to conceive but failed. "Oh, I told you to just be patient¡­ See?" Grandpa Shen commented. "Congratulations Shane¡­ I guess you and Josh have worked really hard for it huh?" Rizie commented with teasing, making Shane turn crimson red.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/he%E2%80%99s-my-carbon-copy%C2%A0_%!d(string=47542864078488091) for visiting. "Thank you¡­" Shane answered while inside her head flashed back all the different positions she and Josh had tried to make sure that every lovemaking session would be fruitful. ''How embarrassing¡­'' Shane mused as she unconsciously looked at Josh who roguishly winked at her. She cupped her face that turned hot and red. Rizie shook her head. Soon the room became more lively when Keira arrived with Zach and their adorable twins. The twins rushed over towards baby Ran in their grandma''s arms after kissing their uncle and aunties. "Once Lyra and Torin arrive with their son.... Gosh, Rizie''s room will be crowded. No wonder Xander and Yera left so soon, knowing Rizie''s big family would soon come one by one." Josh commented that made everyone laugh in the room. Dion smiled contentedly. Like her sister Yera once said, it was true that a big family was far much better, especially if each and everyone in the family were united by love, trust and care for each other. Chapter 488 - I Got Triplets Week by week, time flew away and before anyone could know, it was already time for Yera''s schedule for a caesarian operation. The couple were at Yang Globals'' delivery room waiting for Yera to be moved to the operating room. Xander was restless while he held Yera''s hand and muttered, "Don''t be nervous, okay? I will stay with you and make sure everything is going well. We have all the best doctors to do this operation, so just relax and eve¡­" Yera chuckled, seeing how anxious Xander was. He looked like he was the one to go on the operating table to get opened. She pursed her lips, looked intently at him and said, "Shhh, darling. Relax¡­ Look at yourself. You''re more nervous than I am." Then she instructed with a grin, "Breathe in¡­ Breathe out¡­" Xander followed because he felt like he would lose oxygen while waiting for the time Yera had to be moved in the operation room. Jane, Yera''s obstetrician gynecologist, entered the room with a smile and said, "It''s time Dr. Yera. We are going to move you to the operating room now¡­" Yera nodded and Xander exhaled while he followed as Yera''s bed was moved. Dion was inside the operating room with Xander to take the video of the kids'' delivery as requested by Yera. "Hey why are you so pale? I think you should better wait outside. Geez, did you really pass the medical exam?" Dion commented with a teasing grin. Xander''s face crumpled, while he snorted, "Well it''s different when it comes to family, okay, because it''s Yera and our babies. I just can''t help getting nervous."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/i-got-triplets_%!d(string=47542868910326342) for visiting. Dion patted Xander''s shoulder and said, "Relax and don''t worry. Soon you will hear your babies'' cries, one by one¡­" The doctor began with the cesarean section, and Xander almost lost his balance when he realised how painful it would be for Yera when she regained consciousness. He didn''t know how many times he held his breath, worrying for Yera and the pain that she would be in. Like Dion said, within 10 minutes of starting the operation he heard a loud cry. "Baby boy is out," Dion commented. "My little Bernard¡­" Xander lovingly gasped. He and Yera had decided to name their baby boy after his cousin Bernard. He watched as the nurse cleaned him up. Another loud cry and Xander excitedly looked at his tiny baby girl. "Oh, just like her mom, so pretty my little Yeng." He named her after Yera''s mother. Then one more cry of the second baby girl¡­ "My little Kanya!" he beamed, naming her after his mother. Dion shook his head followed by a grin looking at Xander who shifted his gaze from one baby to another while gasping at their cuteness and whispering praises and words of love for them. Then Xander walked towards Yera as soon as she was conscious and kissed her on her forehead and cheeks. "They are all so cute and gorgeous babies darling. Thank you for giving birth to my little sweethearts. I love you. You did great." Xander was very emotional and couldn''t help but sniffed while tears rapidly fell from his eyes. They both then took photos with the babies near Yera before they transferred her to the recovery room. Dion wondered how they would manage three babies all by themselves. Xander insisted not to hire a babysitter, saying he could take care of the babies with Yera. "Good luck bro¡­" he whispered with a grin before going out to show the baby''s photos and video to their family that were already inside Yera''s suite room waiting for Yera. She was to be kept hospitalised for a few days, and time almost flew away. Yera received a lot of visitors in the next few days when she was still recuperating after her C-section in the hospital. One of them was her father-in-laws'' sister with her daughter Keira. "Hahaha sis¡­ See? I''ve got three grandchildren! You got twins, but I got triplets. Hehehehe." Senior Yang proudly burst, showing the babies to her sister. Mrs. Chan laughed out hard and commented, "Hey, stop that comparison. You make it sound like we two are competing on how many grandchildren we will have." Keira who sat beside Xander commented, "Uncle is boasting about his triplets grandchildren over and over again. He looks so proud and achieved. I can still recall him complaining a lot before because of your disorder, then when he found out I have twins he always said how he hoped he too could finally have even just a single grandchild." Xander chuckled and seconded, "Yeah, imagine how he was like my alarm clock. He even insisted that I download an app to monitor Yera''s ovulation." Keira''s eyes rounded and she laughed hysterically.. Meanwhile, Yera just silently observed everyone with a smile. She could not believe that she herself was now a mother not only to one but to three cute little babies. Her Bernard, Yeng and Kanya. Tomorrow she would get discharged from the hospital with her babies. She stared at her husband and smiled. Xander was too excited and was even boasting himself to Dion, saying he would show Dion how to properly take care of the babies. Well, they would all very soon, going to witness how Xander Yang would actually become a house daddy apart from being a wife slave. His daughters would be the most pampered and spoilt kids in the family, supported by him all the time. Xander saw her staring at him, so he stood up from his seat and walked towards her. "Darling, do you need anything?" Yera shook her head, then muttered, "I already have everything, I am so blissful right now." Xander kissed her suddenly on her lips, and Senior Yang saw that. "Sis. I might soon have another triplets of grandchildren!" he burst, nuzzling his lips towards Xander and Yera who were being sweet with each other. Yera''s face blushed while Xander said, "Don''t worry that as soon as Yera recovered, I will again work hard to give you a basketball team." "See? That''s my son! The Yang spirit!" Senior Yang boasted to his sister. "Don''t worry, son. I will again be your alarm clock." Senior Yang added in a jest, making everyone inside the room laugh out loud. Xander''s father then lovingly looked at his three grandchildren and said, "Little Bernard, look after and take care of your little sisters." Xander shook his head, listening as he whispered to his wife, "Look at dad¡­ As if our babies can understand what he is saying already." "Shhh¡­ Just let him be. He''s so excited¡­ See how happy father is." Yera lovingly commented. Her father-in-law was adorable. She bet he and Xander would even compete later on to stay with their babies often. Chapter 489 - Sleepless Nights At Yang Mansion around two in the morning. Xander sighed and smiled after placing baby Kanya back in her crib. ''Finally, I can sleep.'' He mused and joined his wife on the bed who was already sleeping soundly. He closed his eyes and was about to drift to sleep when a loud cry again roared inside the room. Xander abruptly got up on the bed and ran to baby Bernard''s crib. "Oh, hush my baby¡­" he hummed while he cradled him gently and sang him a song to stop him from crying. He did not want Yera to be awakened since the latter just slept after b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding baby Yeng. They had to switch to formula milk for each of them a few times a day since Yera''s milk was insufficient to cater the hunger demands of all three of them, so they started with formula milk alternately for each of them. Baby Bernard kept crying, and Xander prepared the bottle of formula milk and fed it to him. It was past three in the morning when Xander could finally go to sleep. At around six in the morning, Xander suddenly woke up when he heard another cry and he moved, getting up fast. He sluggishly went to carry Kanya, thinking she was the one crying, but then he realized it was not her, so he carefully put her back in her crib. He slapped his face to stay awake because his eyelids were dropping for being too sleepy. He yawned loudly and was about to prepare a bottle of milk. He saw Yera get up with a smile and said, "I''ll feed her. Go back to sleep, darling." Xander nodded and walked to bed like a zombie. He slumped his restless body without minding his slant position, taking all the space for him. "Darling, when will you feed me too?" He sheepishly mumbled as if he was dreaming half asleep. Yera chuckled and shook her head before carrying baby Yeng in her arms to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed her. It had been a few weeks already since they came back home after birth and her husband insisted that they both switch turns for the triplets and look after the kids themselves. Tomorrow they should get a babysitter or she was afraid for her husband''s health who was too hands on with their triplets as well. He was too kind not to wake her up or let her rise from bed often to feed the triplets at night. The next morning, Dion laughed, seeing the dark circles under Xander''s eyes during breakfast. "Bro¡­ allow a babysitter at night so you two could have a proper sleep." Dion insisted, pitying his brother who seemed to lack a lot of sleep. "You guys don''t have a babysitter," Xander answered, followed by a yawn. "Almost all babies are awake at night so more weeks without proper sleep and your immune system will fall. Dion has only one baby and you have three." Senior Yang added. "I told you let baby Bernard be with us tonight then switch turns every night with Kanya and Yeng¡­" Senior Yang insisted. Xander shook his head followed by a yawn before saying, "No dad. My babies should stay together and stick with each other and with their daddy." Senior Yang chuckled. His son was too possessive for his triplets that he wanted them all to be inside his own room during the night. Dion shook his head, wondering until when his brother could last. He had become a full-time father and would occasionally visit the group every once in a while, or only for some important meetings that needed his presence. That was because he had a reliable assistant like Ron who could handle almost everything on his behalf. "By the way, Lyndon would be released today, right?" Xander asked, and Dion nodded. His sister helped Lyndon a lot so the latter could be pardoned by proving he was not responsible for the intent to kill Yera. "Give him a lot of work. You can trust him, Dion. He''s actually very good and reliable. He loved Life hospital group since it once became his life. His loyalty for the group is unquestionable." Xander added. Soon Yera and mom Liz joined them. "Babies are outside with the nannies." Yera informed Xander with a smile. She had help during the day for taking care of the triplets because they could really be handy. "Is Rizie still asleep?" Yera asked Dion, who nodded. She chuckled and commented, "We all have abnormal sleeping cycles nowadays." "Don''t worry, as a few months pass it will get better. After nine months, you won''t need to give nighttime feeding and gradually their sleeping pattern will become normal." Mom Liz commented with a grin. "I can recall Xander still always woke up crying a lot during the night or mid nights¡­" Senior Yang shared laughing¡­Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/sleepless-nights_%!d(string=47542872131551842) for visiting. "There''s even this one time he made me cry as well in frustration since we did not know what to do to make him quiet. He just kept on howling. I tried feeding him and swayed him in my arms to put him to sleep. But he''s still so stubborn¡­" Everyone laughed and Rizie who just arrived to join them in the dining area commented, "Bro Yawn still stubborn until now, father." Mr. Yawn had become Xander''s new nickname since he always yawned. Then Rizie looked at mom Liz and asked, "how about Dion mom? Did he also give you a lot of sleepless nights?" Mom Liz shook her head and replied, "Nah, he was so well behaved. Sleeping most of the time. He would only cry if he was hungry¡­" "I guess baby Ran has inherited Rizie''s stubbornness." Xander bantered. Yera laughed and lovingly watched her husband bantering with Rizie and Dion. She could not help a smile at their cuteness and felt that she was so lucky to have Xander¡­ For her, he was the perfect husband despite the imperfections. There were times they quarreled, but what she was grateful for was that her husband would not let a single day pass without them making up. He was also a hard-working father, although he was very possessive for them, but she believed that he would also keep them disciplined. But she was also fine with a few flaws in him, like how he sucked in cleaning up their babies'' poop. "By the way, I already arranged all necessary preparations for the dedication of the triplets." Mom Liz informed, explaining the details further. "Yes, it would be great mom. Thank you for this¡­" Xander voiced his gratitude. "It''s nothing since I know you and Yera are both busy. I did the same for Dion and Rizie. Besides, I enjoy organizing events in the family and James is assisting me with everything. Oh, I can''t even wait to prepare the first year birthday party of my grandchildren!" Senior Yang laughed at the excitement of his wife. There were still a lot of empty chairs in their long table and he was feeling giddy at the thought of four chairs being taken soon during meals. "Nice¡­ Very nice¡­" he whispered with a fulfilled, contented heart. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 490 - Forever Home Yera and Xander both became busy parents and were almost always found taking care of their kids in the past few weeks. On one such busy day, they received a call from Gavin who wanted to interview them and take a little closer look in their lives to write a novel based on their life story. Xander was very reluctant in agreeing to meeting him and let him have a peek in their life, but Yera convinced him by her own ways. She knew Xander was again playing childish because of his jealousy ever since he found out Yera had a secret crush on Gavin. They soon sent their availability date to Gavin and spared one whole day for Gavin, so that he could interview Yera and Xander for his next novel and see their lives from up close. The couple received Gavin in their garden where they all sat down together and Gavin asked a few details of their story, from hate to love, they both happily narrated everything about their meeting and how their love story began. They then slowly explained all the tests they went through together and how Xander got entangled with the Yue clan and his rescue. They also gave him a little detail about the trial and removing Yun from the Yue clan. Gavin was already taking over the Mirage history writing and hence was aware of the Mirage rules and confidentiality, so he avoided mentioning the same in his book. He changed it in a way so as to keep the secrecy of Mirage intact.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/forever-home_%!d(string=47542875621212804) for visiting. "I want the title ''The Doctor Who Loves Me'' because you see my wife loves me too much." Xander commented, holding Yera by her shoulders, and Yera only chuckled. Gavin nodded before he casually mumbled, "Aren''t you a doctor too so it will be good. But based on the interview, it feels like you''re head over heels in love with your wife, so the title is like a double-edged sword since both of you are doctors." "I will leave you both for a while to check my babies once," Yera bid her farewell after a little more talks with Gavin. "You''re part of the Yue clan, right? I honestly heard some myth about Mirage, but Dion''s grandfather said it was only a myth and hearsay¡­" Gavin opened up as soon as Yera left them alone. Xander knitted his eyebrows. He looked clueless so Gavin said, "Nevermind since you probably know nothing." "About what?" Xander asked, with his curiosity piqued. "Werewolves? I mean, I heard the royal bloods are werewolves. You too are a royal blood, right?" Gavin whispered. Xander''s face suddenly became serious as he replied, "It seems like you know too much. Much more that you should have known. Do you think you can still walk out from here without getting eaten alive?" Gavin''s face paled seeing that horrible look on Xander''s face as if he was offended by asking the truth. With a blank mind he mused, ''So it''s true?'' Then he heard Xander''s loud laughter. "Dude! Look at you! I''m just joking. Who gave you that idea about werewolves, anyway? Of course those are just myths..." Xander scoffed, still laughing. "But your wife said it. That princess Raine fought so well to help her rescue from Yun''s men, she was absolutely flawless and untouchable." "Did my wife mention some fangs too Gavin? Of course she''s a good fighter. Every royal member of each clan is. Even I can fight that well, my mother made me perfect in some specialised skills imparted to them from some hidden special teachers. Do you want to see a sample?" Gavin crumpled his face and changed the topic. He was a journalist too, so it was his natural instinct to get curious about things. He did not know why he was chosen to be the next keeper of Mirage Diaries from Dion''s grandfather. It had something to do with the mark on his back and his dreams like he was born for it. ******** Time flew by fast and the triplets already celebrated their first birthday. And with the encouragement of the family, Yera and Xander left the triplets for a while to spend three days'' rest and vacation together in Xander''s villa. Yera smiled while she watched Xander prepare the table and their dinner at the balcony. She was sitting comfortably and drying her hair with a towel. She felt so special since the moment they arrived at the villa as her husband did not let her lift even a finger for anything, serving her like a true queen. Being a mother was truly exhausting for her but fulfilling at the same time, especially whenever she would look at her cute little bunnies. "Let me help you," she offered with a grin. "Nah¡­ You suffered so much during the nine months of pregnancy, then delivery and even afterwards by taking care of our triplets. What I''m doing right now is nothing, compared to all the sacrifices of my beautiful, strong and s.e.xy wife." Yera chuckled as her face flushed. Her husband''s flowery words never failed to make her heart flutter. After some time, Xander finished and pulled Yera from the couch towards the table and chair he romantically arranged. It was a simple candle light dinner under the bright moon sky giving enough light in the solemn night sky. Xander cut the steak on her plate first while he served her some wine. "Stop staring at me and focus on your food." Yera scolded, feeling her husband''s gaze peeling her out alive on the spot. "Sorry, I can''t help it," Xander answered, followed by a wink. The couple enjoyed the hearty dinner chatting and laughing. When they finished their dessert, Xander stood up and offered his hand to Yera. "Will you grace this husband of yours with a dance milady?" Xander roguishly offered with an enticing smile. "But there''s no music." Yera, chuckling, mumbled. "Nah¡­ the love in hearts will be our music accompanied by the sound of this wonderful night." Yera laughed but accepted her husband''s hand. He wrapped his arms on her waist and pulled her closer to him. Yera sn.a.k.e.d her arms on his neck and murmured, "There''s no beat¡­" Xander smiled, hugging his wife closer while kissing her hair as he began to hum. The song was his favorite, and Yera was familiar with it. Yera lovingly wrapped her arms on her husband''s neck and smiled. Xander had his adorable roguish smile as he raised his hand and gently touched and caressed Yera''s cheeks. Then he started humming with the music playing. Xander began to sing the song as he led their bodies to sway to his melody. "Some day, when I''m awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight You''re lovely, with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft There is nothing for me but to love you And the way you look tonight With each word your tenderness grows Tearing my fears apart And that laugh that wrinkles your nose Touches my foolish heart Then he nuzzled about enough for his gaze to meet Yera'' eyes as he continued, "Lovely, never, ever change Keep that breathless charm Won''t you please arrange it? ''Cause I love you" Yera''s face blushed while they swayed in the lovely voice of her husband. She was blushing hard while her heartbeat raced. "I love you¡­" Yera whispered while she rested her head on Xander''s broad chest. She could hear and feel his heartbeat, and she smiled. Her husband''s arms would be her forever home. "I love you too, darling. How about we make more babies this soon?" Xander seductively whispered in her ear. Yera chuckled and replied, "Why not. You have three, two more days to make it happen. You''re lucky since it''s my fertile days." "Nah¡­ I''m still monitoring your fertility chart darling." Xander answered with a grin. The more the merrier¡­ * ******************** Follow Rui and Cali''s story at Volume 6 with a title of "LOVE ME AGAIN" Our Xander and Yera will also have their cameos at Volume 6 in case you miss them hehe, but Volume 6 will focus more on Rui and Cali''s love story¡­ Also, follow Lana and Liam''s story. Don''t forget to add in your library the book "THE LAW OF ATTRACTION" Chapter 491 - Prologue - Love Me Again (Rui and Cali - Spinoff Story) What if your spouse forgot everything about you? What would you do? That was what happened with him, and his answer was very simple¡­ "If her brain wants to forget me¡­ I will make her heart remember me¡­ I will make her fall in love with me again..." . . . EXCERPT: Rui heaved a long, deep sigh while he gulped all his whisky in his glass in one go. He sat at the bar counter while counting the days he had been with his wife, who had totally forgotten about him today because of brain surgery after effects. He thought of the improvements he had made over the past couple of days to make her love him again. He chuckled as he poured himself more whisky in his glass. His path to have Cali to be his wife before was way too easy since it all started as an arranged marriage between families and merely because he was lucky that Cali liked and fell in love with him first. He was lost in himself reminiscing about his wonderful time with his wife during those wonderful days when Cali had only him in her eyes and loved him endlessly. But he came out of his dreamland by the sound of footsteps stomping towards him. He straightened his body¡­ Ready to receive another row of complaints from his dear wife who seemed to be getting irritated at him more because of his strictness towards him. But what else could he do if she chose to go out to date or mingle with young men who were obviously ready to pounce at her at any opportunity they could get. He could not keep calm in such situations and ended up imposing strict rules on her, but then while doing so he tended to forget that Cali was not aware of their relationship, she had forgotten all that happened between them, that how she made him fall for her and even that she was already married to him. How much endurance he would have, what amount of frustration he would feel when he could not tell Cali about their relationship, because he was waiting for her... to at least fall in love with him once again. Rui wanted her back and was not ready to share even a single bit of her with anyone. Sufferings'' all his, but still he had decided to start all over again with her and this time the moves would be made solely by him! "Who do you think you are?!" Cali hissed, her eyes fuming with anger. Rui''s eyes darted at her lovingly as he mused, ''love me again. I''m your husband.'' But then he chose to say something different, maybe because the whisky was already showing its effect so he was feeling more confident and playful. "I''m the doctor who loves you." Rui muttered in a low tone. How he wanted to add that he was her husband who would always love her, but Cali might freak out hearing the truth. "What?!" Cali burst in disbelief. Did she just hear his buzzing, whispering right? She had never met someone as shameless as him in her entire life. She could not enjoy and have fun with friends, forget any chance of making a boyfriend, because he was so strict like an old man. How dared he lock their gate without telling her the code? Even though she was staying in his house because of her father''s instructions, still how could he lock the freaking door every ten in the evening. ''Are we in a freaking martial law to have such absurd curfews imposed?'' "I mean, I''m your doctor, so it''s my duty to love and care about you." She heard Rui re-correct and say his words. Her eyebrows snapped as she barked, "Yeah, so stop acting like you''re my twenty-four seven bodyguard! Act just like a professional medical help not my grandfather!" "Sorry but it''s included in my work description. You can check it with your grandpa. I''m your all round man and if you have to complain about that then as your grandpa said¡­ you have to return home with me and stay inside the corners of Lua''s residence whether you like it or not." Cali''s face crumpled as she grunted, "What''s with the love? Is that also a part of your work description? Is my grandpa aware of it, huh? Are you two playing some kind of jokes on me?" For some reason she felt her heart respond in a weird way, hearing the word ''love'' from his mouth, the way she had never felt before in her memory. "Loving you is not in my work description, but if you agree, I''m willing to offer that service for free to you, sweetheart." "So unbelievable! Are you crazy?" Cali burst of rage despite the fluttering she felt in her heart with another candid reply from him. "Yeah, I''m crazy¡­ Crazy for being in love with you¡­" Rui continued. He stood up from his chair and walked towards Cali who began to step back as he moved closer.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/prologue---love-me-again-(rui-and-cali---spinoff-story)_%!d(string=47999973974932055) for visiting. "Do you think this is a joke, huh?!" She scorned as she made another step back. "Who said it is? I''m dead serious, Cali." Rui murmured with a serious face as he stepped forward. "Do you think I''m that easy to get, huh?" Cali chided as she felt the wall behind her back. She was cornered with Rui''s arms on the wall, caging her petite body. She could smell his breath mixed with alcohol. ''What is wrong with me?!'' She hissed to herself because she felt her knees weakened as he brought his face close to hers, nuzzling his nose on her ears. "No¡­ I will not say any more words but show you how genuine my feelings are with actions, sweetheart." He whispered in her ear. She suddenly shivered at those fiery breaths in her ear. But she maintained her rationality as her eyebrows raised followed by a smirk before she scoffed, "action, huh? And for goodness'' sake, stop calling me sweetheart because I''m not!" "But you''re my sweetheart." she heard him reply. She was even startled when he grabbed her hand and put it on his chest. He was looking intently at her as she felt his gaze hit at her deepest core. "Can you feel how my heartbeat is in chaos because of you?" Cali tried to retract her hand, but he held it tightly, pulling her close to him. His one arm now encircled on her waist. "I love you Cali and I will always love you, sweetheart. You can''t escape from me because I''m the only man for you. I know deep in your heart you can feel it to. I will not stop courting you every day and no matter how hard you try to drive me away¡­ I will always come back to you and show you how much you mean to me." Before she could respond to his sudden confession, Cali felt his soft lips brushing against hers. ''Why don''t I feel his kiss filthy? Instead the kiss feels very familiar! Like it''s a kiss that I''ve been longing for all my life?'' Cali confusedly thought as her body moved involuntarily, encircling her arms on his neck as she answered his kisses with equal passion. Chapter 492 - Forgotten Husband "I don''t know you..." Rui''s world crumbled down with these words. His wife, Cali, woke up after remaining in a coma for a few weeks, but she could not recognize him. ''I am your husband sweetheart¡­'' he wanted to say but could not find the courage to do so. Rui''s words got stuck in his throat because of the strange look that she gave. ''Oh God,'' he silently gasped, seeing confusion filled in her beautiful eyes. He had been waiting for this day¡­ But why? Why didn''t Cali remember him? He was about to hold her hand and asked how she was feeling when he saw Cali''s body flinched. "Ahhh!" Cali cried as she cringed and held her head with her hands. There was a sharp pain in her head, like a knife slashing through it. At that point, Rui knew he had to leave the room and let Cali have the space she needed. She needed to be only with the people she could remember, and he was not one of them. He had mixed emotions as he moved back and weakly sat on the couch, watching the doctors take care of Cali. He was grateful, happy but feeling the pain and sadness at the same time. A few moments later, he saw Dion walking towards him. Dion looked at him and said, "Let''s give her some space and more time." Dion signaled him to leave the room for a while. Rui nodded and left the room with a heavy heart while the other doctors continued to check Cali''s condition. He was in his casual wear and was obviously not among the medical team, so it would not be good for him to stay inside. It would confuse Cali more and she might insist on asking who he was. He waited outside and sat on the nearest chair in the hallway. He kept on praying for Cali, hoping she was well and the pain he suddenly saw in her was not something to worry about. After sometime, the door opened, and he saw grandpa Lua went out with nanny Shine and Dion. "How is she?" Rui instantly asked Dion. He was so worried. Seeing Cali in pain broke his weary heart. "She''s stable now but suffering with partial amnesia post surgery. Her memory stopped up to her graduation at country V Rui. So all things that happened after that..." Dion explained but paused and he shook his head. "That was the time before I asked her to go back here for her supposedly arranged marriage to Dion." Grandpa Lua interrupted. "What do we do now? She can''t remember his husband since they haven''t met that time. We should tell Cali that she lost a part of her memory." Nanny Shine muttered while she gave a sympathetic look to Rui who never left Cali''s side while waiting for her to wake up. "Right now it won''t be good for her to get anxious. Let her recover first. Don''t mention anything about me for now please. I will talk to Shane too so she can relay the same to her brother Kane. Nothing matters now but her recovery¡­ Knowing she''s married to a man she can''t remember won''t do good for her." Rui stated as a doctor who had some knowledge about Cali''s condition and Dion agreed with him. His heart was feeling so heavily laden, but he was more than grateful that Cali finally woke up. Grandpa Lua heaved a long-frustrated sigh, then shifted her gaze back to Rui. He lost weight and his eyes had those dark circles of sleepless nights. "Take this time son to have a proper rest for now. Me and Shine will take care of her and update you on her condition." Grandpa Lua encouraged Rui because he knew that Rui lacked sleep and was restless in the past few weeks, staying with Cali 24/7 in her room while she was in a coma. Rui nodded and did as advised. He went to his home and slumped his restless body on the bed. Tears just fell and kept on flowing endlessly out from his eyes. "Thank you, Lord¡­" he kept on mumbling with his eyes closed. Meanwhile, back in the hospital, Cali was already stable and was advised not to think too much. Grandpa Lua told her she had an accident while she was in country V and they had to do her crucial operation back at country D since she was in a coma. Nanny Shine sighed now and then, trying her best not to mention anything about Rui to Cali because she had the tendency to slip out from her tongue unintentionally. "Who is that man I saw when I woke up?" Cali asked. Nanny Shine''s eyes lit as she immediately answered Cali with a question of, "Hmm, does he look familiar?" Grandpa Lua saw Cali''s forehead creased, so he quickly interrupted, "Oh, he''s also a doctor in this hospital. He''s a psychiatrist. You see, he needs to check how your emotional status works as soon as you wake up from the coma¡­" "He''s handsome right?" Nanny Shine subconsciously added, staring closely at Cali. She wanted how to see how Cali would react. But to her disappointment, Cali seemed not interested in him at all, just seeing how her face crumpled. "Yeah, he looks good, but I bet he???s just half my age. Not at all my type, though¡­" Cali nonchalantly commented. Nanny Shine''s eyebrows raised because as far as she could recall, Cali experienced the so-called ''love at first sight'' the moment she laid her eyes on Dr. Dee. "I thought you prefer older men and someone wearing eyeglasses." Nanny Shine continued. Grandpa Lua watched the two talk. Shine was feeling so sad for Rui that she was trying hard to bring him up to Cali.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/forgotten-husband_%!d(string=48032568213304611) for visiting. His poor grandson-in-law turned out to be a forgotten husband. Grandpa Lua sighed and looked at Cali, who Nanny Shine helped to lie on her bed and rest. He hoped things would get better soon for everyone, and most especially with his granddaughter. Chapter 493 - Private Doctor Rui controlled himself from getting near to Cali as much as he could, but he would often check on her in her room whenever she was asleep with the help of Nanny Shine and Grandpa Lua. He stayed near her, cradled her hand and caressed her cheeks sometimes, hoping very soon she will regain her memories and recognise him. ''I miss you too much, Cali,'' he mused as he stared at the sleeping girl. She was doing well and there was a significant improvement in her health and her recovery was very fast. In three more days, Dion would discharge her from the hospital so she could continue to recuperate in her house. Grief filled his entire body at the thought that she would not stay in his house to recover where he could monitor and take care of her closely. He gently touched her cheek as tears fell from his eyes. "I really love you too much, Cali¡­" he whispered, his heart in his cracked voice. He wanted to kiss her and hug her, but he controlled himself. Even being close to her was a luxury for him now, he didn''t want to let go of this luxury also if she woke up finding him hugging her or very close to her. He knew there was still a long road to travel before she would recognise him as someone close to her. He was sitting there engraving her beautiful and innocent face in his eyes, as he knew after she would be discharged soon. Rui at the same time would be gone for a long time before returning and meeting her again. His expressions froze when Cali suddenly opened her eyes. "Doc?" she mumbled in her sluggish voice. "Oh yeah, I''m checking the temperature. It''s normal." Rui stressed and retracted his palm from her cheek. Cali nodded a bit and once again closed her eyes to go back to sleep. Rui walked outside her room with heavy steps. His grandfather-in-law and nanny Shine were sitting outside. He smiled and said, "She woke up then went back to sleep again." "Did she recognize you?" nanny Shine asked with hope, and Rui just shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. Pain was clearly written all over his face. Weeks passed by and Rui went back to his old routine, but he would always check Cali''s condition and monitor it with her private doctors. "In no time, she will be back to her old self like nothing ever happened," Dion said in assurance and patted his shoulders. "We need more time though, since her head is a bit delicate and will still take some time to be fine. I noticed that every time she tries to remember things, her head starts aching¡­" Dion explained, feeling anxious as well seeing Rui''s dropped shoulders. At this point it would be risky to push Cali to remember Rui or any other memories that she had forgotten after her graduation day. "I understand, Dion¡­ I will patiently wait and study more about her case while I wait for her¡­" Dion nodded and said, "Yeah¡­ She will soon remember you. By the way, I have already called my friend and she will take care of you and give you private lessons about the human brain. She''s equivalent to my sister so you will learn a lot from her, including how to treat patients with the same case as Cali. When will you be flying then?" "I will go as early as tomorrow, Dion. I better focus on how to handle Cali''s case while she is recuperating. I heard she has plans to study abroad, so I think it could be a good opportunity to accompany her as her private doctor." Dion nodded and truly admired his friend''s patience over Cali. "I hope the best for you¡­" Dion cheered. Rui laughed and said, "Yeah, I hope the same for myself as well." ******* Meanwhile, at Lua Residence, months passed, and Cali recovered very well physically. She could now go back to almost her normal life, like before. She could almost do everything like her normal self except for extreme sports of course.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/private-doctor_%!d(string=48032572508272894) for visiting. Also, the most important thing she needed to avoid was the overthinking of things since it caused pain to her head like what happened the previous day when Shane visited her with her husband. She was so shocked to realise that she missed important details such as that. Like since when Shane had a husband when she did not even have a boyfriend the last time she remembered? Her husband even greeted her like they knew each other for so long as well, and she found out that she indeed knew Josh before Shane knew him. Shane mentioned that meeting Josh and becoming his friend was a part of the memories she lost. She tried to recall everything but ended up in so much pain. Yes, she was now aware of the fact that she had lost some part of her current memories and she also knew that she must avoid thinking about it or else she would experience another bout of pain in her head. Her doctor advised her to let it come back on itself through time, and she should not push herself in remembering it. Because of the severe pain, she too was afraid in trying to remember things, so she was used to letting them go. Nanny Shine interrupted her and called her out for lunch. "You will leave next week. I hope you won''t give me a headache on this Cali and be nice to your private doctor¡­" Grandpa Lua reminded her. Cali rolled her eyes and with pouty lips complained, "Geez¡­ It''s so awkward to live at the same place with a male doctor. I mean no privacy at all, and why should I have to stay in his place? He''s a man, right? Do you really trust him that much? What if he takes advantage of me?" Nanny Shine almost choked on her food hearing Cali. Oh, God¡­ How stubborn could she get? She was controlling herself so much, not to mention that she would live with her husband! That too the one she herself chose and pursued relentlessly! She pitied Rui too much that she often wanted to scold Cali for being childish and stubborn. "Dear, grandpa Lua and I both know him and trust him too much. Besides, he''s the best to monitor your condition and we are lucky he agreed to your grandpa''s request to let you live with him." Nanny Shine explained. "It''s your fault since you insisted on flying and studying that cooking thing in another country when you can study the same here¡­" Grandpa Luo scolded. "But that''s the best school in the world grandpa and not everyone can get admission there easily. It''s a once in a blue moon opportunity for me." "Then you have to comply with my rules! No more words Cali or I will not let you do what you want! Instead, you will then have to stay here¡­" Cali no longer debated with her grandfather but deep inside her head she vowed to make things difficult for that doctor if he would come in her way. Chapter 494 - In Your Dreams The day finally arrived when Cali had to leave and fly to country A to study culinary arts in the best and famous Culinary art school in the world where the best chefs ever had studied. It was the first time she was so engrossed into something like cooking and learning different cuisines not to add how heart was set on being acknowledged as one of the best chefs in the world. The flight that she was to board would take almost half a day to reach the destination. She settled herself and excitedly told her goodbyes to nanny Shine and her grandfather before stepping up the ladders of the plane and finally entering the cabin of that private plane in which she was booked together with her private doctor. She was very excited as she walked inside the beautiful cabin that had just two seats side by side for just her and her doctor. She saw a man in his eyeglass already there who seemed to be sleeping on his seat since his seat was adjusted into an inclined position. Cali froze for a while when she saw him as the man looked familiar to her. She walked closer to him and recognised him as the doctor, whom she often saw checking her whenever she was asleep. ''That''s him? My private doctor?'' she mused as she sat on her seat near him. No wonder nanny Shine mentioned that her private doctor was a handsome man¡­ Indeed, he was a lady killer. Cali seemed to be mesmerized with his face as she stared at the sleeping man with wide eyes. He had beautiful, long and black lashes behind his glasses. She liked the shape of his pointed nose, not to mention his heart-shaped kissable lips. His eyeglasses added a mysterious vibe to him, but she bet he definitely looked more handsome without it. Then her eyes went further down. He was wearing a fit polo shirt so she could tell he had nice abs under that shirt¡­ She went further down and gulped as she realized what she was doing. ''Oh my God!'' she panicked as she realized she was peeling the sleeping man shamelessly¡­ She composed herself and sat comfortably in her seat. Then her face crumpled as she mumbled, "It''s our first time meeting formally with each other, so how come he is sleeping soundly and not even aware of my arrival. Seriously?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/in-your-dreams_%!d(string=48231551363768308) for visiting. For some reason, her doctor probably heard her complain, and she noticed him move from the sides of her eyes. He was stretching and yawning. Rui was too tired and sleepy because he flew all the way back to country D just to join Cali in her flight when he could have just flown directly to country D instead and meet her there. He arrived just a few hours before and did not even take time to rest, and so he didn''t even know when he dozed off. He looked around and saw Cali was already sitting beside him. "Oh, you''re already here¡­ Nice to see you. I''m Dr. Rui Dee, by the way, at your service." he whispered. He sat properly and extended his hand for a handshake. Cali looked at him and almost melted in his smile but she kept her poker face and accepted his handshake and said, "I guess you already know who I am since I remember seeing you in my ward when I was in the hospital." "Yup¡­" Rui answered with a smile. Then soon the flight took off and after the flight was stable the attendant arrived and asked for anything they wanted to drink before their meals. Cali excitedly said, "Can I have some wine, please?" It was her first time to get what she wanted since nanny Shine and her grandfather''s eyes were not on her. "No. It''s not good for her. Just serve her any fresh fruit juice she prefers¡­" Rui interrupted with knitted eyebrows. Cali''s face twisted and soured¡­ "Hey it''s not like I am going to drink the whole bottle. I just want a sip since it''s been a while since I last tasted any alcohol." Cali complained with pouty lips. Rui chuckled seeing her throwing tantrums like a baby, as he explained, "Well if you start tasting them you might have the tendency to drink more so it''s better not to taste it in the first place to prevent any headache." With crossed arms Cali countered, "You sound like I won''t be able to control myself. Let me tell you, doc¡­ I know myself and when I say a sip¡­ It will only be a sip. How come you''re so strict on our first day together? Do you know how a pain in the ass I could be if you set the wrong foot with me?" "Is that a threat?" Rui replied with a grin and raised eyebrows. Rolling her eyes, Cali answered, "It''s a fact!" Rui heaved a long deep sigh and whispered. "If I let you lose every once in a while like now¡­ Will you behave and follow whatever it is that I ask as a doctor." Cali suddenly nodded with blinking eyes. Rui unconsciously patted her head and whispered, "good girl. I will then allow you for a sip." Cali felt her heart raced with that sudden gesture of his. ''What''s wrong with me?'' she inwardly beamed before whispering, "I''m not a girl! I''m a woman¡­" "I know that, sweetheart," Rui said with a chuckle. Cali''s face reddened hearing the word sweetheart. ''Sweetheart? What did he mean by calling me sweetheart? Why call me that? Is he hitting on me? Isn''t he too old to hit on someone as young as me?'' she mused because she presumed Dr. Dee was way too older than her. She was twenty and Dr. Dee must be ten years older or more if she was right. Usually professionals like him preferred matured women of their age. She smiled when Rui asked the attendant to give her a glass of wine. "Thank you," she excitedly whispered. She and her private doctor would definitely get along well if he could dance well with her steps. The glass of wine finally arrived. But as soon as she took one sip, Dr. Dee suddenly snatched the glass and drank all the remaining wine in it in one gulp. Cali stared at him in disbelief and burst, "Hey! That''s my glass!" "Yeah, but we agreed only for a sip???" Rui emphasized. Cali felt like she got scammed! Her face couldn''t be painted at all. "How old are you, doc?" she asked, annoyed. "Call me Rui¡­" he emphasized, then said, "I just turned thirty-one." "And I''m twenty, so can you be more lenient with me?" Cali grunted. Rui sighed before he turned at her and looked at her straight into her eyes and asked, "I''m only lenient when it comes to my girlfriend or future wife Cali. Right now you are my patient and everything I will do will be for your own good." "So you''re saying it will be a different case if I''m your girlfriend or future wife?" Rui answered her with a roguish smile and a simple nod. "Well¡­ In your dreams!" Cali beamed as she turned her back on him and sat sideways. Her private doctor was obviously a shameless, irritating man. Chapter 495 - Do Anything And Everything Rui cursed himself for being overprotective regarding her health. Because of him snatching away the glass of wine from her, Cali did not even bother to talk to him afterwards. She kept herself too busy reading a magazine or watching a movie. He could no longer take the deadly silence so he asked, "how are you feeling now?" Cali''s eyebrow raised as she turned at him and scoffed, "I''m very much good, Doc." "Hmm, please call me Rui¡­" "And why should I? We''re not that close? Besides, you are much older than me so I should show some respect towards you¡­ I will call you Doc." Cali stubbornly scoffed. She was still annoyed, and even though her private doctor was handsome, she decided that his charm would not affect her. "Do I look that old to you?" Rui asked with his offended tone. Cali was taken aback and suddenly felt alarmed seeing his sad face. "I''m not referring to the face¡­ You know you look.younger than your age. I mean the literal age gap. I''m only twenty, you know¡­" Cali explained. She did not know why, but seeing him sad bothered her somehow and she softened her tone of speaking towards him. "How old do you think I am, Cali?" Rui asked. It was the first time that Cali threw tantrums like that in front of him. He maintained his seriously offended face, observing how Cali would react. "Maybe you are in your thirties." Cali casually commented. She was curious to know, though she added, "Right?" Rui''s lips curved upward into a breathtaking smile. Cali unconsciously gasped seeing that killer smile of Rui. It even looked familiar to her somehow. ''Why is my heart beating so fast?'' She mused as she blinked her eyes to distract herself from getting hypnotized. "Close enough¡­ I''m thirty turning thirty-one this year¡­" Rui answered with his charming smile followed by a wink, then he added, "Is that old for you?" Cali suddenly cut out her tongue as her face turned a rosy pink. For a second she did not know how to answer his question. Rui grinned and asked, "are you still mad at me because of the wine?" Cali did not comment and kept silent. She was scolding herself for acting in such a weird manner. She was not comfortable with all those feelings. "I guess you are, but then I just don''t want to compromise your health¡­ because it''s very important to me¡­ you are important to me¡­" Rui added in a gentle voice. Cali knitted her brows hearing the words ''important to me'' and straightforwardly asked, "Are you hitting on me, huh? A while ago you called me sweetheart and now I''m important to you¡­ Wow¡­ Isn''t professionalism a must I prefer to keep our patient doctor relationship. You''re creeping me out..." Rui chuckled and clarified, "All my patients are important to me¡­ I don''t mind though if you want to interpret it in other ways. Just so you know, I''m a professional and I will handle you with utmost care milady¡­" Cali only rolled her eyes while Rui was looking at her adorably. He missed her so much and bantering like this with her was like a blessing to him granted after a long penance, unlike before where he could only sneak into her room to see her when she was asleep. There was a moment of silence for a while, and soon the flight attendant arrived to take order for their lunch. Cali was a bit hungry and was really excited hearing her favourite dish on the menu onboard¡­ She wanted to eat her favorite pasta, carbonara. Rui intently ordered the same¡­ Hoping Cali would somehow recall something while eating the said pasta. The pasta was served very soon, and Cali started eating immediately. She noticed Rui was removing the mushrooms from his plate. "You''re not eating them?" Rui smiled at her and nodded. "Give it to me then¡­" Cali mumbled as she moved her plate near him. "Don''t you know that mushrooms are very healthy food?" Cali commented as Rui picked up the mushroom from his plate and transferred it to Cali''s. She suddenly froze as she whispered, " Why do I feel that something like this had happened before¡­ You know what they call dejavu¡­" "Or maybe something is the same with your past memories. Don''t think about it or you will be in pain¡­ Start eating," Rui reminded. That would be a part of his tactics¡­ Doing things he and Cali shared together but he would always remind her not to think about it in case she would try to remember¡­ He was hoping her memories would come back naturally if he did things that would help her recall. Cali nodded and continued eating. She honestly did not want to experience the pain in her head as much as possible that was why she herself was avoiding to even try to recall the memories she lost.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/do-anything-and-everything_%!d(string=48231555121864723) for visiting. Good thing her private doctor would remind her to not stress herself out, just like now. "Why?" Cali asked because she noticed Rui was staring at her. Rui on the other hand contemplated whether to make a move on her or not as Cali had already said before that he was creeping her out. However, his hand was quick to decide and moved involuntarily, as it reached out to Cali''s lip and wiped the smudge of pasta sauce from the side of her lips. Cali was caught off guard and once again her heart skipped a beat in that moment. "Sorry, but you have these beside the lips¡­ So¡­" Rui explained. Cali''s eyebrows furrowed as she went back to herself, realizing what her private doctor just did. "Doc next time just tell me so I can get a tissue and wipe it off myself." She snorted as she grabbed a tissue. "ohh, I am sorry¡­ It''s because I have always had active reflexes so¡­ Anyway, I''ll keep your request in mind next time." Rui mumbled. Before she lost her memories... he would use his lips to wipe off her smudged face and Cali would just giggle in excitement. He could not help but sigh with how aloof his wife had become¡­ So very different from his Cali before¡­ Rui looked at Cali and as he expected she ate messily¡­ She loved the creamy sauce and she often ended up smudging some in the corner of her lips whenever she was too enthusiastic about eating. He suddenly smiled, recalling how Cali would often do things to bug him and get his attention. ''Seems like at this time we changed roles¡­'' he mused. He did not mind it though because to get his wife back, he was willing to do anything and everything. Chapter 496 - Sleep In My Room Finally Cali arrived in the house where she had to stay in. Tall fences secured the entire boundary of the house, and the huge gate gave it a magnificent look which opened automatically after a scan. ''He has high-technology security installed in his home.'' she mused. Then her eyes brightened as the car entered inside the gate and she saw a good and simple lawn with a garden. It had attractive landscaping in front of the house and there was a bench swing as well. She noticed the greenery and thought Rui loved plants. "Your place is very nice¡­" she murmured. "Yeah, I just bought it from a friend of mine this month. I fell in love with this place the moment I saw it." Rui commented. It was one of Xander''s properties and Xander said that he could just use it and stay there anytime he wanted, but he practically begged the latter to sell it to him, saying the house would be memorable to him. Because the house would be the witness of how he would make his wife fall in love with him again. Cali excitedly went out of the car and looked at the two-storied house. It was not that, but somehow she felt so homy because of the fresh air and cozy exterior design. She waited for Rui near the main door of the house, who had instructed the driver to bring all their luggages. Her eyebrows arched seeing him scan his print to open the door. "Hey, I need to register as well right, to go in and out?" Cali asked. "Yup, later we will do it." Rui answered Cali before he signaled his driver to bring their luggages upstairs. "We don''t have any helpers? Not even one?" Cali asked out of curiosity, seeing no one greeted them when they entered. "The house is not that big. We can take good care of it while we are here. Or just call out for helpers during weekends if you wanted. You love cooking, right? How about you do some practise and be our chef in this house while I''ll do most of the other tasks?" Rui said as he headed upstairs. Cali followed. It was not a problem for her to cook at all. But other household chores? She never did any of it so... "How about laundry? I don''t know how to do all these things," Cali asked further as they went upstairs. "Don''t worry, I will teach you everything one by one." Rui answered with a grin. Cali did not comment since it was not a big deal to her. She did not mind experiencing being independent for a change so she could live on her own in the future. All her life she was pampered by her grandfather and nanny Shine like a princess and she grew up in a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle. She was now a woman so she must take the initiative to act mature and be more responsible. "Where''s my room?" she asked. Rui stopped in the hallway where there were two doors opposite each other. "This will be my room," he said as he pointed his finger to the door on his left, then he opened the door on the other side and said, "This is your room." He grabbed her luggage and put it all inside that room. "You must be tired. Go rest first and I will arrange my things in my room thn prepare some snacks for you." He said before he left Cali alone. She looked around at the familiarity of the style in the room as she mumbled, "So manly¡­" The interior design was mix of black, gray and off white, including the mattresses and cabinets. She turned around to lock her door since she wanted to rest. "What''s this?!" she mumbled in horror noticing her door had no lock at all. She rushed outside and knocked on Rui''s door immediately. Rui was about to enter the bathroom to take a shower when he heard the knocking so he quickly opened it knowing it was Cali. "Yes? Everything alright?" he asked. Cali did not answer but went into his room and inspected his door. With furrowed eyebrows she said, "You have a lock¡­ How come I don''t have a lock in my room." Then she realized Rui was standing topless exposing his broad chest in front of her. Her eyes rounded as she scanned his lean and muscular body served as a feast in front of her eyes. ''Wow, s.e.xy!'' she mused but hastily shook her head to snap herself out of this attractive pit. Rui noticed her eyes on him so he walked back to grab his shirt and said, "Sorry I was about to go to take a shower." He quickly slipped his shirt back on and faced Cali who was inspecting his room. "Let''s swap rooms. I like this color more¡­" Cali commented because she noticed his room had similar size and design, just that Rui''s room was more of beige, off-white and brown. She preferred the interior color of his room than hers. More feminine in her eyes.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/sleep-in-my-room_%!d(string=49343285914813791) for visiting. Rui smirked because it was the same reaction he had anticipated. Cali did not like the black-gray combination in his room that much, so he had already changed the color to her preference while she stayed in his house. "We can''t swap the rooms. This is my room." "But I like this one. Besides, it''s the same design and I want a lock in my door¡­" "I did not put a lock intentionally, so that it would be easy for me to access your room in an emergency since we are not sure if sometimes you may pass out or have seizures¡­ We still need to observe you for any of these symptoms." Cali''s face crumpled. He had started again with those medical reasons for his strict policies. "I promise I will not lock this door ever, so let''s swap the rooms. I really like your room¡­" she said with a beautiful smile and blinking her puppy eyes, trying to subdue the man with her cuteness. Rui had a serious face as he mumbled, "Then you can sleep in my room, with me¡­" Cali''s eyes widened in shock and with red cheeks she whispered, "Are you a pervert?" Rui grinned and explained, "Why do you always give such perverted meanings to my words? What I mean is, you can sleep with me in this same room if you really want this room because I will not swap it. I have a big couch here, so there will be no problem for me to sleep there. You can sleep on the bed comfortably¡­" "Don''t worry, I''m very much harmless, I promise I will not bite you!" he added with a wink, making Cali''s face crunched. "No way¡­ I will rather sleep in that manly, dark room than sleep in the same room with you. Geez¡­ You''re a really very creepy doc!" she beamed and quickly turned around to go back to her room. For some reason, her heart was racing fast as she went back to her room... Chapter 497 - My Eyes Will Only See You *Ring *Ring Cali irritatedly scoffed as she stretched her arms to grab her mobile phone, cursing whoever it was, disturbing her peaceful sleep this early in the morning. "Hello¡­" she sluggishly answered, not even bothering to open her eyes or get up from the bed. "Wake-up missy¡­ It''s time for your routine exercise and also the right time to get some sunlight¡­" she heard Rui''s cheerful voice on the other line. "What the heck? Where did you get my number from?" she mumbled as her eyes opened wide in shock. She glanced to look at her wall clock and it was only six in the morning. She heard him chuckle on the other end of the line as he replied, "From your grandfather, where else? Save my number as an emergency contact, as your number one, okay? Now, get up and join me outside. The sun is rising¡­" She usually woke up between six thirty to seven in the morning at home, and even that was a struggle for her. She used to hate it whenever nanny Shine woke her up because she always preferred sleeping in till late. Oh, she was one lazy woman¡­ With a crumpled face she got up and complained, "Wow, are we in the military? Why do I feel like you''re absolutely dedicated to making my life harder? It''s only six in the morning¡­ How about we do these at seven in the morning?" "Nope, this is the best time¡­ I''m waiting¡­ Come down or I will have to go and pick you up¡­ I don''t mind the weight lifting exercises ..." he said, amused. Cali immediately ended the call with a "humph". Stomping her feet, she walked in the comfort room to quickly brush her teeth and pee, then went out in her pajamas. She saw Rui sitting on the bench swing without a roof. He had two bench swings in his garden, one with a roof, and the other one without. She walked towards him and sat beside him. It was a beautiful sight. "Oh, you already prepared breakfast?" she whispered, seeing sandwiches and hot chocolate on the table in front of her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/my-eyes-will-only-see-you%C2%A0_%!d(string=49343289136039319) for visiting. "Yeah, light meals before we do some light exercises. Go eat." Rui said with a smile. Cali felt her heart racing whenever he used to smile, but she quickly brushed off unnecessary thoughts and instead grabbed a sandwich to eat while watching the sunrise. "Why did you accept this kind of work, Doc? I mean becoming a private doctor where you need to be away from your family?" Cali casually asked. "Actually, I''m not that close to my family, so I doubt they will miss me at all¡­ Oh, that''s not a good thing to say. But I do have someone I love, and cherish the most in my life¡­ but something happened, and she forgot about me..." he whispered in a vague way. "How cruel. Is that something like unrequited love?" Cali asked out of curiosity, for some reason it made her feel bitter, hearing her doctor already had someone he loved. "Hmm¡­ I''m not sure either. What do you want to do while waiting for your school to open? You have three more days to enjoy. I can accompany you wherever you want to go." Rui said, changing the topic. He heard Cali scoff and then mumble, "I don''t need a bodyguard doc. I want to go out alone if you don''t mind." Rui was taken aback¡­ He was aware Cali loved to go out with friends and party most of her life but then in this country, she had no friends¡­ "But you don''t know anyone here so¡­" "Who said that? I have friends all over the globe. Besides, one of my closest friends will arrive today to accompany me here. He will study at the same school with me¡­" Rui panicked. Why was he not aware of that? Who was she talking about? And she said ''HE''? A male friend? He only knew about one male friend of hers¡­ And it was Kane¡­ "That''s good, you have friends here then. But I don''t have one¡­ I only know you here, so can I also tag along please?" Rui begged almost shamelessly. Cali was caught off guard and unconsciously nodded. But then realized something, and suddenly uttered, "Oh wait¡­ I''ll first have to ask Kane if it''s okay with him. That man hates it if someone tags along when we go out¡­" It was true¡­ Kane would always complain if she brought a classmate when the two of them went for a walk. He would always say that he is not fond of mingling with other people when they are together. Cali could even recall the annoyed expression of Kane''s face. Rui''s face darkened as he explained, "I''m your private doctor, Cali. You do know that you''re my responsibility. Why do you even need his permission? He will understand and I will talk to him if he doesn''t." He never heard of Kane since he left the country and now that Cali lost her memory about him, he was back? Why? Because Cali remembered him? Rui felt his chest tighten. He knew Kane loved Cali and he could bet that he still felt the same as he agreed to fly miles only to be with her. "Did you inform him that you''re with me?" he asked. "Oh, I forgot to tell him. I just told him about my plans of studying here and he said he will accompany me¡­" Cali answered with a twisted mouth. Maybe she should call Kane and inform him? "You should inform Kane and tell him that he can''t go out with you unless you are with me¡­." Cali''s eyebrows raised hearing that as she hissed, "And why is that?" Why did she feel like her private doctor was nuzzling his nose too much into her private life? "I told you already. You''re my responsibility... I am to blame if anything happens to you on my watch. So you should expect that my eyes will only see you no matter what happens¡­" For some reason, Cali blushed at these last words¡­ His eyes would only see her? She wondered if there could be another meaning to it, but then hastily brushed that impossible thought. Since the two of them just met, she should not give any meaning at all to whatever he said. He was her private doctor and very well knew how her grandfather could be¡­ She knew that Dr. Rui Dee was only being professional. Chapter 498 - More Of His Skin Cali felt strange¡­ She was doing her routine exercises, and Rui was helping her out. "I think I can manage¡­" she murmured because Rui moving her arms from behind was distracting her. She moved forward and did the usual exercises on her own. Rui pouted his lips. He was intentionally getting touchy, hoping it would help Cali remember him somehow. But seeing her crumpled face made him drop his shoulders. ''Maybe I should take things slow¡­ I''m creeping her out already,'' he mused as he watched Cali do her routine movements in the garden. They were just basic exercises to make sure that all her body parts were in good condition, and functioning properly. "I will leave you to it and do my own work-out in the gym." Rui commented as he walked back inside. He wanted to watch her more, but he knew he should stay a little distant, to not creep her out any more. He sighed as he thought of Kane. The man was aggressive. He knew that Kane might think this could be his chance with Cali. "How dare that boy!" he snorted, while going inside his work-out room. He had already prepared himself for tough times to get Cali back, but with Kane around it would surely become harder, especially when Cali recognized Kane. Meanwhile, Cali paused with her exercises and heaved a long sigh. "Geez¡­ Living with him is not good¡­" she mumbled with pouted lips and sat back on the bench. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialed her grandfather''s number. "Yes, dear?" "Grandpa¡­ Can I live in a different house please?" "No!" she heard her grandfather firmly and authoritatively answer. "You didn''t even ask me why I want to live in a different house in the first place!" she beamed, feeling forsaken. Her grandfather was too overprotective of her, so how could he suddenly see things differently? "I trust Rui more than you so you will stay there unless you want to fly back home with us! We are going in circles Cali¡­ No matter how many times you ask me¡­ My answer will be the same and that''s final." After a little more scolding, her grandfather finally ended the call. She did not like what she was feeling. She was uncomfortable with those feelings about her private doctor, which is why she wanted him out of her sight¡­ "Geez¡­ I have no choice but to pester him, so he is the one to give up. I hate it. I''m being watched almost all the time!" she grunted as she stood up to go back to her exercises while her mind became so busy on how to bully Rui for him to give up as her private doctor. "Maybe I should not help him with household chores since I did not know how to do it, anyway?" she mused, followed by a grin. It then dawned on her that she was acting extremely childishly. "Maybe I should observe more¡­" she then mumbled, talking to herself. If she looks closely, her private doctor was only doing these things for her own sake so far so¡­ maybe it would be so childish to bully him just so she could live independently? She immediately finished her exercises and went back inside. She got curious about Rui''s work-out room, so she passed by her door and headed into the work-out room, which was also located on the second floor. She passed by the veranda where there was a swimming pool. . "It would be nice to stay here. Maybe I should really wait a little more." she subconsciously mumbled as she thought of dipping in the pool later when the sun was glaring. She walked more and stopped in front of the door to the work-out room. She opened the door and went inside. Rui had a lot of work-out equipment. No wonder he had such s.e.xy abs. She saw him running topless on a treadmill. Mouth agape, she stared at him from behind. She could see droplets of sweat form on his back. He had broad shoulders and a nice ass. ''Oh God!'' she gasped, realizing that she was peeling him alive once more. She quickly turned around to leave but heard Rui call her. "Do you need anything?" Rui asked, steadying his breathing. He had just finished working out and saw Cali walking to the door as he turned around. He followed her. So when Cali suddenly halted and turned around, she bumped on Rui''s sweaty chest.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/more-of-his-skin_%!d(string=49343292374055303) for visiting. "Are you alright?" Rui asked as he touched her chin and inspected her head. "Did you bump your head?" he asked again because Cali was not responding. Cali could smell him, his sweat. ''How does he smell this good even though he''s sweaty?'' she inwardly asked. But then snapped back to her senses, realizing how close she was to him. She stepped back and answered, "I''m fine¡­ I didn''t bump into anything at all, just my face was almost touching your sweaty chest." She heard Rui chuckle in reply, "Oh, sorry about that¡­ I''m already done. I will take a quick shower after I rest for a while. Do you need anything?" Cali shook her head and replied, "I''m just touring the house, I was not able to see everything last night. Anyway, I will leave now." Rui nodded and gave her a smile before she turned around. Rui saw her blushing as her cheeks turned red. He had a bright smile as he watched Cali''s back. As a psychiatrist, he could tell that he had some effect on Cali. He could even tell it from her body language. "Her body recognizes me¡­" he excitedly mumbled. That simple expression he caught a glimpse of, made him want to dance. He immediately went back to his room to rest and shower fast so he could tease his wife a little more. Maybe he needed to show off more of his skin to awaken his wife''s desire for him. Rui immediately skimmed his closet to look for more revealing clothes like sleeveless shirts and shorts. He thought he should often be topless when working out. He suddenly chuckled out loud at how his mind was already running wild. Then he heaved a long deep sigh, wondering how much longer could he control himself from pouncing on his wife... Chapter 499 - Freaking Shadow Kane inhaled and exhaled loudly as soon as he came out of the plane. He was very excited when he boarded the flight and wanted to reach his destination in the blink of an eye. Now that he was finally there, standing at the arrivals area of the airport, his heart felt closer to his goal.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/freaking-shadow_%!d(string=49343295578490427) for visiting. It had been so long since he last saw Cali, he missed her too much. He knew that she lost some of her memories, and he was grateful to God that he was not a part of them. He smiled, seeing that his driver was waiting for him at the greeting area. He was glad that his father just recently bought a rest house in this country, that was how he had a chance to accompany Cali on the pretext of looking after the house. He also pulled some strings so he could enter the same school where Cali would be taking her culinary lessons. Once inside the car, he excitedly dialed Cali''s number to inform her that he had finally arrived and would soon visit the house where she was staying. "Maybe I can even stay with her if I make her pity me for living alone?" he murmured as excitement filled his body. He felt that God had given him a second chance to prove his love to her because Cali lost all her memories about Rui, still remembered him. She had no recollection of the fact that there existed a man named Dr. Rui Dee who was married to her. Even her love and that possessiveness for him had all vanished from her memories. Now she was free to start a new chapter of her life, and he wanted to be the main lead of her story in this changed scenario. Indeed, he was aware that Cali was still legally married, but he thought that was insignificant unless Cali knew about it¡­ She could not even remember her husband, let alone the marriage, so he believed that their marriage would soon be voided. He knew he was being selfish for thinking all that, but he could not let this chance pass him by. The phone rang for a while, but there was no answer. He tried calling again and finally Cali picked it up. "Hello there, beauty¡­" he enthusiastically babbled before hearing even a word from Cali. "She''s in the bathroom, taking a shower¡­" Kane was shocked when he heard a man''s voice from the other side. He then realised something and his face turned pale. Although that cold voice was very familiar to his ears, it was the one he least expected from Cali''s phone. Was he hallucinating? "Rui?" "Yes!" ''What is he doing there?!'' he mused, because Cali did not mention anything about him. He thought she was alone with her private doctor! "What are you doing there? Wait¡­ Are you the private doctor Cali mentioned?" Kane yelled and cursed inwardly. "I''m her husband, Kane. Make sure you imprint this in that small head of yours." Rui firmly answered with a heavy note before he ended the call and quickly put it back on the table. Cali had gone to the kitchen to get some fruits and left her mobile phone on the center table of the living room. He was there watching the television when it rang. He was not supposed to answer it, but seeing Kane''s caller ID appearing on the screen, he felt his blood boil. "How dare he call my wife beauty!" he irritatingly uttered. The flirting tone was so clear in the bastard''s voice. Rui was sure that stubborn brat was up to something fishy since Cali lost her memories of him. He felt a little restless and racked his brain for finding a solution to them both meeting alone. He could definitely not let him mess with his precious wife. He heard Cali''s footsteps, so he immediately composed himself. Cali was back with a tray of various fruits cut into pieces. "You want some?" she asked, and Rui nodded. "Do you want to go out and look around at the nice places in the area?" Rui asked. "Nope¡­ I''m waiting for my friend¡­ He should have arrived at the airport by now." Cali answered as she looked at her wristwatch. "How come he hasn''t called yet???" she murmured as she grabbed her mobile phone. Rui gulped because Cali might see the received calls so he coughed and said, "I was about to tell you it rang a while ago I answered but the line was so distorted. Caller ID said Kane. Is that him?" "Yeah¡­ Maybe the signal was not good. I will call him and ask him to come here straight away." Cali nonchalantly replied and dialed Kane. Rui''s face became gloomy. He knew he was being immature, but he had never liked Kane getting closer to his wife, and especially now with the lost memories of Cali, because he knew he could have a hidden agenda in coming at the same place with Cali right now. He was aware of Kane''s feelings for Cali, and he had the possibility to be aggressive in pursuing her now when she had forgotten all about him, her husband. He poked his ears open as he listened to Cali''s conversation¡­ "Doc, can I invite him over or if that''s not possible I will just go out with him¡­" Cali suddenly asked him while she was talking to Kane on the mobile phone. "Oh wait," Cali signaled at him. "You mean we go out? You prefer going out with me?" she murmured to the bastard on the other line that made Rui panic. "No! Tell him to come here instead, or I will tell your grandpa you intend to go out without me¡­ What if something happens? It''s better he just visits you here or if you two really want to go out, then you have to take me along¡­" he authoritatively said. Cali was shocked upon hearing that and was so speechless that she only whispered, "Kane just come over here." As soon as the call ended, with crossed arms she blocked Rui''s front who was sitting on the couch and complained, "Hey¡­ Aren''t you exaggerating your role as my doctor and behaving more like a bodyguard? You''re my private doctor, not my freaking shadow to follow me around!" He was getting on her nerves with dictating her about what to do and how she should spend her life in that country! Rui suddenly stood up and Cali backed down. It all happened so quickly that she almost lost balance, but Rui was fast to catch her as he wrapped his arm around her waist and held her firmly in his embrace. Cali''s senses were suddenly assaulted by his fragrance that enveloped her entire body and she was lost for a few seconds in the mesmerising beauty of his handsome features. She snapped out of her trance and realised this doc was not easy to handle and could even seduce her! "Do I really need to repeat everything Cali? Your condition is still under observation and it often takes years for us to confidently say that you''re fully recovered! So please consider me as your shadow¡­ You need me by your side twenty-four seven!" Cali''s mouth parted. She was too distracted with their closeness because she could feel his warm breath on her face. Her heart was once again beating erratically, betraying her completely, so she quickly pushed him to break free from his arms. She grabbed her mobile phone and quickly walked away from him, grunting and murmuring, "I hate you!" Chapter 500 - What’s Not Meant To Be Will Never Be Kane arrived at the address Cali gave him. He was still in a grim mood, but he had to compose himself and not reveal anything regarding her relationship with Rui to her. His car was still waiting outside the gate. He had to call Cali for permission to enter because the scanner could not recognize his vehicle so the gate was not automatically opening for him. "He sure has tightened the security¡­" he mused with flaring nostrils, and he could bet that Rui would not definitely give him access to anything inside. Finally, the gate opened, and his car was able to enter the premises. Cali had already explained to him when he was on his way that it was grandpa Lua''s decision for her to live with Dr. Rui. Obviously it was a biased decision of grandpa Lua in favor of Rui since they still acknowledged his marriage with Cali. Kane did not feel discouraged with that fact because what was important to him was to have Cali''s heart for himself. So he was determined to do his utmost to steal her heart this time, while her brain could not remember Rui. He still believed that she was too young and what she felt for Rui before losing her memories was mere infatuation. And now with her mind cleared off of Rui''s love, he had a fair chance with her. He quickly went out of the car and saw Cali waiting for him. "Kane!" Cali burst and quickly ran to hug him. Rui saw that scene from his balcony, and he felt as if sharp knives were stabbing his heart brutally. He was aware that Kane was Cali''s friend, and it was her natural way of greeting Kane ever since he entered Cali''s life, so Rui tried to understand the situation as a mature person, though his heart was restless and he could feel pain seeing their intimacy. Cali greeted Kane very enthusiastically and welcomed him with a warm embrace while her first meeting with him¡­ Cali''s first reaction to him was to ask who he was! Unknowingly tears fell from Rui''s eyes. He was living every day in hope and was trying to bring back her memories using his professional psychological tactics. What he did not consider was the hindrance in his plans due to the arrival of his live rival. He turned around and sat down on the couch of his bedroom. He did not want to annoy Cali anymore by showing himself while she entertained her friend. Besides, he was not sure if his poor heart could even take her intimate gestures with that bastard who was here interrupting their lives. But then he could not control the possessiveness he had for his wife, so he took some deep breaths and composed himself then went out of his bedroom to join the two of them in the garden.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/what%E2%80%99s-not-meant-to-be-will-never-be_%!d(string=49343298279635494) for visiting. He wore a poker smile on his face and sat on the available chair near Cali. "So you''re Kane. You know what you look a little familiar¡­" Rui commented. Cali then formally introduced the two out of respect since she and Kane were both inside Rui''s territory. Her private doctor still irritated her, but she did not hate the fact that he joined them outside to mingle. Rui extended his hand. Like him, Kane too had a poker smile and he too bent forward a little and accepted his hand for a shake but instantly his face twitched when Rui exerted pressure and squeezed his hand very hard, almost making Him wince in pain. Cali noticed Kane''s uncomfortable face, so she asked, "What''s going on?" That instant, Rui released his hand and gave Cali his sweetest smile as he asked, "Cali dear¡­ I''m sure Kane would love to have some snacks after his long flight. How about you prepare something for your guest while I entertain him?" "Oh yeah, Kane, Wait here. I''ll go get something for you¡­" Kane''s nostrils flared as he quickly beamed, "No, it''s okay Cali. I''m good. Just stay here and let''s talk¡­ It''s been a while and I really missed you so much¡­" "Shameless!!!" Rui inwardly yelled as his eyes shot daggers at Kane, which the latter only ignored. "But I will be quick. At least let me prepare your favorite mango shake?" Cali said with a smile. But Kane did not want to be alone with Rui because for him every second being with Cali counted so he suggested, "How about I accompany you and help you prepare snacks." "NO!" Rui intervened coldly but quickly curved his lips into a smile as he looked at Cali and said, "Hey. Your friend is tired. Let him rest here and it''s unethical if you will let him help you prepare some snacks. Besides, I want to talk to your friend so I can also brief him a little about your condition." Cali, seemingly convinced by Rui, stood up and said, "Okay I will bake something nice quickly so you both have a talk while I prepare everything." Rui''s mood brightened. He looked at Cali and winked at her secretly that made her gasp. She quickly turned around before any of the two could notice her blushing. "What''s with him winking?" she mumbled with pouty lips as she walked inside to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Rui looked at Kane intently with squinted eyes as he said, "Cali is my wife so I would appreciate you not doing stupid things that you will regret later on¡­" "Doc¡­ The only regret I have in my whole life is losing Cali from my life. She first met me and I first loved her. We were having a harmonious relationship and I was just waiting for the right time to confess to her. I am sure she would have accepted my proposal had you not come in the picture and snatched her from me!" Kane yelled. He could feel his body tremble with too much emotion. He felt that he lost his opportunity with Cali because Rui came in the picture suddenly. Rui balled his fist as he kept his calm. "As I expected¡­ You have an evil agenda in coming here, and you are here not just to be a friend with Cali. Remember this Kane¡­ No matter what happens Cali is my wife. We are legally married¡­ And I will not let anyone take advantage of Cali''s condition right now. She may not remember me at this moment, but her heart could definitely recall whom it was beating for¡­" Having said that, Rui stood up from his chair and said, "I will now give you enough time to spend with Cali as a friend because I trust my wife''s heart. She will not betray me and her feelings towards me. Just a piece of advice¡­ Move on Kane before you let yourself drown into the deepest pit of possible consequences of wrong actions. What''s not meant to be will never be, but if someone is meant to be in your life, nothing and NOBODY will be able to stop it¡­" ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 501 - Sounds Familiar Another day passed, and Cali was back to her usual routine. Just one more day for her to get back to school. She could not hide how excited she was . "How about you cook lunch today?" She heard Rui comment from behind her back. He went out for a run while she was doing her routine exercises in the garden. She picked up her mat because she was done with her exercises and proceeded towards the bench where their light breakfast was waiting. "Cali¡­" she heard him call, so she turned around to look at him and gulped, seeing him without a shirt trying to wipe the sweat off himself after the run. "I said, can you cook us some lunch later? I want to eat what you cook." Cali pursed her lips to prevent herself from drooling¡­ ''What is this? Why is he topless so often before me!'' she inwardly thundered. "Cali?" Rui mumbled. Cali pouted her lips and said, "I don''t want to¡­ I''m lazy so you do it. Cook for us¡­" She was intentionally being lazy, wondering if her private doctor could last with this temperament of hers. This was her way of silently taking revenge on him for acting too overprotective of her over small matters. Kane would be her regular visitor, but he did not want to grant Kane access in and out of the gate, even when she guaranteed that Kane was her closest friend since childhood? Rui shrugged his shoulders and sat in front of Cali to grab some sandwiches he prepared. She was too indifferent now, as compared to before where she would even wake up early just to make sure he had breakfast before going to work whenever she slept over at his place. Cali spent most of her time in his kitchen cooking and baking a variety of food and he would become her taster. "Can you at least put something on?" Cali snorted with a twisted face. Rui chuckled and teased, "Why? Are you distracted by my muscles? Besides, it''s hot, and I want to feel the morning breeze." "Whatever¡­ I''m not distracted, just stop flaunting those muscles. Urgh¡­ they''re not even that good."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/sounds-familiar_%!d(string=49492838571885455) for visiting. ''Liar!'' Cali''s inner-self shouted, but Rui just ignored her. Instead of feeling offended, he just felt amused by her expressions. "Your classes start tomorrow¡­ Don''t you want to stroll around before you get busy with them? I will be going out later, if you want you can come with me." Rui asked. He liked the way Cali was reacting. He could read her expressions, that were clearly the opposite of her harsh words. Being topless was successfully getting her attention drawn to him so he would make it his routine from now on. Cali did not comment on his question but deep inside she was itching to go out. Kane asked her earlier, but she was hesitant because she knew Rui would tag along and she had noticed Kane getting uncomfortable around him. "Where are you going?" Came almost as a whisper from her mouth. Rui smiled and said, "Hmm¡­ I want to see the famous amus.e.m.e.nt park if it indeed is remarkable." Cali''s eyes twinkled in excitement. She had been waiting to visit the place, but unfortunately there was no time or opportunity until today. "Okay. I will go. What time are we leaving?" she asked in a row. "We can go after we''re done with our breakfast¡­" Rui answered, feeling elated that his plan worked out well. "Okay¡­ i will prepare to leave now," Cali excitedly babbled and stood up from her chair. "Wait¡­ Aren''t you going to eat more?" Rui asked. Instead of answering, Cali just grabbed one more sandwich before rushing back to her room to get ready. Rui grinned and watched her going back into the house lovingly. He would make sure that every passing day with his wife was well spent. He found all her tantrums cute and adorable. Rui stood up and collected the breakfast tray from the table. He didn''t mind serving his wife forever if it meant that she would never leave his side. He could tell that Cali was intentionally acting lazy to bully and annoy him but these tantrums only made him adore her even more. He chuckled and walked back inside the house to get ready as well. "Remember¡­ You are not allowed to go on extreme rides. I will only let you ride on the lighter ones, something like the Ferris wheel." Rui reminded, and Cali involuntarily nodded. Strolling around the park would be good enough for her. She only cared about the booth games that would let her win prizes. Rui stood and watched as she started playing various games in each booth. "Shocks, it''s so hard! I wanted that bear!" Cali complained as she missed another target with an arrow. Well, she could buy bears like those, but it was a different feeling of content and satisfaction if you won it by playing fun games like these. "Let me help you. I''ll make sure you get that bear." she heard Rui whisper from behind her. She flinched on feeling his warm breath on her ear. He was too close to her now, hugging her as he held both her hands. "Hold the bow like this¡­" she heard him whisper. Cali could feel his breath. He was too close and one wrong move would result in his lips touching her cheek. Her face reddened. She was blushing very hard, and suddenly felt very hot. "Concentrate on the game and relax your body¡­" he said. ''How could she when he was this close to her? She could feel butterflies fluttering in her stomach.'' "Stretch the string a little more¡­ There¡­ Make sure you are aiming for the center." Cali bit her lower lip as an unknown electricity travelled down her nerves¡­ "There¡­ Now let it go.." Cali did as he instructed her to and her eyes widened with glee, seeing that she hit the right spot. They did that three consecutive times in a row. "Oh, we did it!" she exclaimed, turning hastily to Rui, causing friction of his lips on her cheek. "Sorry¡­" she heard Rui apologize, and could only nod bashfully. Then she quickly turned to the in-charge of the booth to distract herself. "My prize?" she mumbled with a grin and the man at post handed her the huge teddy bear that was almost as big as herself. Rui grabbed it from her and said, "Let me carry it for you, sweetheart." Cali froze at that spot because she heard the same voice and word in her head. "Are you alright?" Rui asked, concerned at Cali''s suddenly distorted expression. "Nothing, it''s just that you calling me sweetheart sounds familiar¡­" Rui''s heart suddenly skipped a beat¡­ It was the second time he had called her by that name¡­ The first time, Cali seemed to be unaffected but today¡­ she could sense the familiarity... Chapter 502 - Palpitating Heart Rui waited as he watched Cali''s changing expressions closely. When he noticed she was delving deeper into it he instructed, "Don''t think too much and just relax. Breathe in and breathe out." Cali followed his instructions as she relaxed herself and stopped her mind from thinking too much about things. She did not want to experience another bout of headache, so she did not ponder on how or where or from whom she heard that word before. Once she calmed down, she realized what Rui called her a few minutes back. Cali put her both hands on her waist and turned to Rui asking, "Why are you calling me sweetheart, anyway?" It was the second time he called her so, and the word was an endearment usually used by couples when they were in a relationship, so why call her like that. "Because.. you have a very sweet heart?" Rui mumbled hesitantly. "Are you trying to be funny right now, Doc?" "I said call me Rui or you can also call me sweetheart since I also have a very sweet heart¡­" he said with a teasing grin. Cali rolled her eyes as she walked past him mumbling, "Unbelievable!" She never met a doctor as shameless as him. Her first impression about doctors was that they looked and talked very seriously, and Rui was the total opposite of that. "Sweetheart, wait for me," Rui called with a teasing tone. He walked beside her and explained, "Well when I first saw you I thought you look like a sweetheart¡­ you know, like an absolute sweetheart¡­ Young, lovable and a pleasing person." "It''s also like a psychological tactic to improve your temper towards me, since you''re often grumpy towards me¡­" Rui added so Cali would not feel creepy about it. But he knew in his heart why he called her that was because he missed calling her sweetheart. "So I have decided to call you sweetheart often¡­" "Whatever¡­" Cali sniveled. Rui had a bright smile plastered on his face hearing her reply because for him it was still a positive response from Cali by not asking him to stop calling her like that. Meanwhile, as Cali walked forward, she felt a little weird by her own response. She was not happy with her own answer to Rui. She should have told him to stop calling her with such close sounding sweet words as people might misinterpret that she was in a relationship with him when she was actually not. But for some weird reason, she did not detest him calling her sweetheart but found it rather comfortable and even felt her heart at peace when he said this. ''Weird¡­'' she mused as she sneaked glances at Rui, who was now walking beside her. Rui suddenly turned and winked at her before asking, "Do you want some ice cream?" Cali nodded so Rui stopped at one of the benches and said, "I''ll buy some, you sit here and wait for me." Cali sat down and Rui put on her big teddy bear beside her. "You¡­ guard our sweetheart well while I buy some ice cream¡­" Rui instructed as if the teddy bear was human. Cali chuckled because she found it cute, but she quickly pursed her lips and just watched Rui walk to the ice cream booth. "He''s so weird right. So straightforward and shameless¡­" she murmured while watching him buying some ice creams. He turned around and caught her looking at him. He waved at her, but Cali quickly turned her gaze in a different direction. Lately she noticed that her heart was often beating irregularly. "Maybe I should also see some cardiologist?" she murmured to herself as she raised her hand and touched her chest where she could feel her palpitating heart. Rui was finally back with two ice cream cones and he handed her the cheese flavor. Cali wrinkled her forehead and asked, "How do you know I like cheese flavor in ice creams?" Rui moved the teddy bear further and sat right beside Cali. "Hmm, just a wild guess? I noticed how you put a lot of cheese in the sandwiches and even in spaghetti¡­" Rui said, but then he actually knew that Cali really loved everything that was cheesy. She then happily indulged herself in the ice cream, but she accidentally smudged her lips and chin with it because of the melting cream from the cone. Rui noticed that and instinctively wiped it with his fingers, then licked his fingers clean afterwards. Cali''s face reddened, seeing him do that while she stared at him in disbelief. "I''m not really fond of cheese, but it tasted good." Rui nonchalantly commented. He could see from the side glance that Cali was too startled with his action. He sighed because he initially wanted to wipe it with his tongue and lips instead. It was too much struggle for him. He wanted to pounce on his wife every now and then, but he often had to remind himself to control and not act rashly in front of her or do something to offend her or could potentially lead to Cali leaving him. "That''s so yucky. Why did you even do that?" Cali voiced out while her cheeks reddened. She grabbed some wet wipes from inside her purse and gave some to Rui while she wiped her chin as well. "What''s yucky about that?" Rui mumbled. "Hellooo it came from my mouth?" she lilted. "So? I''m not that fussy. It''s just like kissing you. Wait, does it bother you?" Rui countered, curious about what Cali would answer. "No!" Cali snorted as she stood up to go stroll more then she halted, turned around at Rui and commanded, "Bring my teddy bear." "Yes, sweetheart¡­" Rui cheerfully answered and stood up that instant and grabbed the big teddy bear.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/palpitating-heart_%!d(string=49492842313207575) for visiting. "Where do you wanna go next?" Rui asked as they walked side by side. His hand was almost brushing hers, and he wished he could hold her hand while walking. He suddenly started running through ideas of a good alibi for holding Cali''s hand with her permission. His shoulders dropped because he could not think of a very good alibi at all then suddenly his face brightened and he said, "How about we go to the house of horror." Cali only nodded while he grinned inwardly because there could be a high possibility for skin to skin contact there with his wife like holding her in his arms, grabbing her hand or even embracing her. Then he realized that he was not aware if Cali got easily scared or not with scary things. Well, at least today he would find out more about it. Excitement filled his body since most women get easily scared in the horror booths, clinging to their companions like leeches. He could even imagine Cali jumping in his arms and burying herself in his chest. One thing to really look forward to. Chapter 503 - Punishment Rui hurriedly put the huge teddy bear in his car. He smiled as he looked at it because the bear made it possible for him to get a little bit closer to Cali, physically. It was torture at first, but then his heart was filled with her familiar scent and warmth and he felt grateful for these small, sweet moments. It was so hard for him to control the urge to hug her and feel her warmth without holding back.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/punishment_%!d(string=49503994749443097) for visiting. "Patience, Rui¡­" he whispered and cheered himself up before hurriedly getting back to Cali, who was waiting for him near the entrance to the house of horror. "Let''s go," he excitedly said as he approached her. Cali nodded and headed inside. Rui quickly walked beside her. "You can hold on to me anytime if you get scared, okay¡­" he offered as he walked behind Cali in the dark. They could already hear the screams of people not so far ahead of them. "You see¡­ I don''t get scared of crap like this. But I came here anyway because I wanted to compare this house of horror to the ones I''ve been to." Cali muttered. Rui scratched his head, but his quick mind already had a back-up plan. He grabbed Cali''s arm and hugged it as he whispered, "Oh gosh, but I feel scared of creepy things like these. Oh God, please don''t let go of my hand¡­" Cali''s eyebrows raised when she felt Rui tightly clasp her hand and then proceed to bend and hug her arm. "What''s this? Aren''t you a grown up man? How can you be scared of this kind of thing?" she hissed, but Rui answered only with a growl when a scary white ghost woman appeared in front of them. She did not know whether to laugh at him or be annoyed with the little screams in his manly voice. "Geez, you are such a sissy¡­" she exclaimed. "No¡­ I''m not!" Rui countered and suddenly halted, but he did not let go of Cali''s hand. "I''ll call you sissy from now on. Doc Sissy¡­" Cali mumbled in a teasing tone. Finally, she managed to catch on to a good nickname for bullying him. "Stop with this name calling or I will kiss you¡­" she heard Rui threatened. Cali felt as if she cut her tongue out because she was suddenly speechless. She felt as if Rui would really do it when she heard the seriousness of his voice. After composing herself, she nudged him to move forward. , "Then don''t act like one and be a man!" she vented out loud as while pulling him forward with her. Screams from other people soon filled the whole house. Cali and Rui did not bother to talk anymore because of the loud noises. Rui still held her hand, it was a priceless moment for him, so much so that he intentionally walked a little too slowly as they toured the house. He could walk through the house of horror all day if it meant for him to be able to hold his wife''s hand like this. It made him feel ecstatic and he did not want to leave this horror house. "Is there something wrong with your feet? Why are you so slow?" Cali complained. Rui irked and mumbled, "I''m having a cramp¡­" "What?" Cali burst out. Rui then put his arm around her shoulders and pleaded, "Please help me." His right arm was wrapped around her shoulders while his left grabbed Cali''s left hand, then he leaned in and whispered into Cali''s ear, "This house is too scary." Cai crumpled her face and beamed, "Yeah, we both know this is not actually that scary. I can''t believe it¡­" Rui pursed his lips, trying to stop himself from laughing out loud. Cali on the other hand kept sighing because of the tension that Rui''s closeness made her feel in her body. She could smell his scent and inwardly liked it. ''Oh gosh, does it mean I''m attracted to this weird doctor?'' she silently mumbled in horror. But quickly dismissed the idea from her head. Rui did not put any weight on Cali at all, and hoped she wouldn''t notice. He simply faked walking like it was hard. To his utter disappointment, the tour soon came to an end and they had to leave the horror house. "Let''s rest here for a while." Cali mumbled as she pulled Rui to sit on the bench. "My feet are better now. Maybe it was an effect of me getting scared. Ahh¡­ my poor heart probably won''t be able to take it. But I like the thrill¡­ Maybe we could come here again next weekend so I can overcome this fear of mine." "Why come all the way here when you can just watch horror movies at home and get over your fear?¡­" Cali mumbled. "Oh yeah, that''s a great idea. You should recommend some horror movies to me but you also have to watch them with me or else I might end up being more afraid when I see a lot of ghosts on the screen." Cali turned at him with a twitched mouth as she scorned, "Really? You''re such a sissy. Doc Sissy¡­" "One more thing¡­ If I hear you call me like that again, I will really teach you a lesson, Cali. I will seal your lips with a breathtaking kiss wherever and whenever you are, so show some respect to your doctor, who cares so much for you. Calling me like this is too disrespectful, even if you witness me getting scared of creepy things and horror houses." Then he added in a teasing tone, "Unless you do want me to kiss you. In that case feel free to call me by that name anytime¡­ my kiss can be really addictive so I won''t be surprised if you call me like that often once you get a taste of my sweet punishment." Cali''s face crumpled more and Rui could no longer hold it in so he burst into a fit of laughter. "You¡­ I should call you a pervert instead!" Cali grunted with flaring nostrils as she stood up to walk away. Rui followed and said, "Well, if you call me that then the punishment will be more severe¡­ Like giving you a taste of the pervert mode?!" "Grrr!" Cali grunted but chose to seal her mouth and not take it any further because the man talked too much and would never run out of arguments! Chapter 504 - Clingy Cali enjoyed their amus.e.m.e.nt park tour for the whole day and Rui felt satisfied seeing her smile and laugh every now and then. "Are you tired already? Do you want to go home?" Rui asked as soon as they were inside the car. "I''m not tired yet," Cali answered as she looked back to check on her huge teddy bear. Rui chuckled and said, "Did you think I forgot to put it in the car?" Cali pouted her lips and murmured, "Well, I was just checking since I like that teddy very much." "I know. Do you wanna try one of the world''s greatest fine dining spots near here? The three Michelin stars one?" Rui asked. He already made a reservation because he knew that Cali would definitely enjoy it. Cali''s eyes rounded in excitement as she nodded continuously, but then she realized, "But I hear we have to make advance reservations for it¡­" Her shoulders dropped at the thought that it would be impossible to try that restaurant tonight. "Oh, I already made one, you see. I thought it would be nice to bring you there to please you as you''re often grumpy towards me¡­" Rui hummed like a child in his sullen voice. Cali felt guilty suddenly and said, "Sorry¡­ If you just stop being so intense with taking care of me, we will both be good. You see, I''ve always been under strict protection at home, so I hoped I would get some air away from grandpa and nanny Shine. But you treat me the same. I know it''s for my own good, but hello? I know my body and my limits, and of course I know my boundaries¡­" Rui heaved a long, deep sigh. He was only against her being alone with Kane since he did not trust the man, but he was unable to explain that to his wife who could not remember him. He remained quiet because he could not voice the fact that he was jealous over Kane. Maybe later, he would think of the best explanation for this situation. Cali''s mobile phone rang and his face became sour when he heard her mention the name Kane. "Speaking of the devil¡­'' he mused as his ears were too focussed at eavesdropping. "Oh yeah, we''re now headed to the restaurant. Wait, I''m not sure¡­ I will ask him." Rui heard Cali whisper before she turned at him and asked, "Do you think it''s possible for us to get one more chair? Kane would like to join us for dinner, please?" "No!" Rui grunted, then he quickly added, "You see, I only reserved two seats, Cali." Cali nodded, then got back to Kane and apologized. Rui was grinning triumphantly, but that grin turned into a grim expression when he heard Cali say, "Don''t worry, I will treat you tomorrow on the opening of school. We can have lunch and dinner together. I''ll make it up to you¡­" The two talked some more, and soon Rui released a sigh of relief when the call ended. "That friend of yours is too clingy¡­" he could not help but comment. Cali''s eyebrows lifted up as she honestly mumbled, "Aren''t you more clingy than him?" Rui chuckled and countered, "You have to get used to it since it''s going to be a part of your life now¡­ I mean¡­ it''s a part of my work. My resume includes clinginess as my job description. If you have any doubts, you can ask your grandfather about it. Oh, and not to mention he wants me to stick with you like we''ve been glued together since he''s afraid that something might happen to you here while he is not around." Cali no longer commented because there was no use of it, plus knowing how protective her grandfather felt about her, it could definitely be true. They arrived at the restaurant just in time for dinner. The place had the same ornate d¨¦cor and sumptuous furnishings as seen throughout the hotel, with a breath-taking view over the city. Cali could not help appreciating its beauty as she took some photos. Rui talked to the waiter to order their food and Cali unconsciously sneaked some shots of him. When the waiter left, she heard Rui speak, "Don''t steal shots like that. I''m willing to pose for you¡­ So the next time you want my picture, tell me so I can smile beautifully¡­" Cali scoffed and twitched her mouth but did not say anything since she was caught in the act. Soon the food arrived. The chef introduced diners to new tastes while striving to evoke emotions through Italian and Mediterranean flavors, combining creativity with simplicity in the ingredients used. Cali was overwhelmed and felt extremely inspired, hoping someday she could also cook like this. "Oh, this is good¡­ Such a delicious taste it would have when paired with wine." Cali hummed as she ate the duck foie gras with apple and chestnut. Then she heard Rui order a wine. "Can I have two glasses, please?" she asked with pouty lips and Rui couldn''t help but nod at his beautiful wife with her begging expressions. "Just two glasses, okay?" Rui reiterated and Cali nodded enthusiastically. They finished the meal with a creative dessert: choco-passion-pop with rice crispies, meringue, passion fruit and hazelnut chocolate cr¨¦meux. Cali felt so happy that she couldn''t stop grinning while she tasted everything. In her head she imagined herself doing a lot more things like this and being recognized by the diners as a good chef. "You''re so beautiful whenever you smile like that. Well, you''re also beautiful even if you don''t smile, just that having that joyful aura of yours makes you more stunning. Maybe I should bring you to all the nice restaurants in this country. Seeing you smile like that is just too breathtaking." Cali heard Rui commented, making her blush right on her spot. She could feel that tingling sensation in her body, not to mention the fast thumping of her heart.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/clingy_%!d(string=49503998759200736) for visiting. "Stop that, you''re making me blush," she scolded and even touched her cheeks with her palms. Rui only gave her a wink, followed by a roguish smile. Cali felt her heart bumped her chest with that handsomeness. ''This man is so dangerous!'' Cali inwardly complained. She felt like he was intentionally seducing her, or maybe she was just giving too much meaning to every action of his? But then she should guard herself well¡­ Her focus should be attaining her dreams and becoming one of the world''s most famous chefs... Chapter 505 - A Forbidden Affair Cali woke up early because she was too excited for her first day of school. She quickly prepared herself and when she was ready, went out to leave. Kane was supposed to pick her up. "Grab some breakfast first." She heard Rui say as she passed by the dining area. She looked at the table and saw the food, she sat down as he served her the meals. "Why are you dressed? Are you also going out?" Cali asked. Rui was in his casual polo shirt and pants outfit. "Hmm¡­ I''ll report at school and drop you off¡­" Rui answered. "But Kane will pick me up!" Cali beamed before realizing something, "What do you mean report at school? You will also study?" "Yup¡­ Grandfather advised me¡­ I mean your grandpa arranged it that way so I can comfortably monitor your condition." Rui explained. Cali''s eyes widened in horror as she exclaimed, "No way!" Rui saw it coming, so he quickly added, "We can pretend we don''t know each other so don''t worry. If you don''t want a ride with me, I will let you ride with Kane every morning so you''re not uncomfortable." Cali''s face crumpled as she took out her mobile phone from the bag. She dialed Kane''s number and told him not to pick her up. "Why?" Kane disappointingly asked from the other side.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/a-forbidden-affair_%!d(string=49504003070942324) for visiting. "Doc is going the same way, so you better go straight to school. It will be unwise for you to travel here, since my place is not along the way. I will go with Doc instead. See you at school¡­" Rui heard Cali explain and he was grinning triumphantly. How dare that boy offer Cali a ride when he knew she lived with him? ''Is he nuts? Did he really think I would let my wife leave the house with him every morning?!'' he irritably mused. As soon as the call ended, Cali''s eyes darted at Rui. With raised eyebrows and an annoyed expression she grunted, "Make sure you do not talk to me at school! I can''t believe this absurd idea! Why would you enroll in the same class as me?! And how did you do it?" Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have a lot of connections, Cali. Anyways, don''t worry, I will act as if I don''t know you okay? So eat before the food gets cold. It''s still early and we will arrive there ahead of schedule." She would go crazy soon. Who would have a private doctor to be with her 24/7? Wouldn''t it feel more like she had a spy in school who would report all her movements to her grandfather. She felt suffocated with this odd reality. She felt that they were too overprotective towards her. Rui seemed to read her thoughts because she heard him say, "You can''t blame people who care for you, Cali. You are aware that they almost lost you twice.." Yes, she was already aware of the fact that she almost lost her life when Dami Bridge collapsed. Then she recovered, but had some complications, and had to undergo another operation. Cali heaved a sigh, and her irritated face softened, realizing Rui''s point. Her grandfather and nanny Shine indeed loved her too much because she was the only one they got as their immediate family. Cali was too full during breakfast and she felt guilty for being lazy, so she thought maybe, on some days she could voluntarily prepare meals for the two of them. Soon the two of them left and headed to the school. "Drop me there¡­" Cali suggested, pointing a block away from school. Rui chuckled and said, Don''t worry, okay. I have reserved parking inside the building and you do not have to get off in the open parking so no one would see you there with me besides I will let you off early and follow only after a few minutes if you''re so worried about us getting seen together." Then he casually continued, "I don''t see anything wrong with it anyways¡­ It''s not like we are having a forbidden affair¡­" "But still, it''s so awkward if they find out that you are my private doctor and you''re there to take care of me. I don''t want them to look at me as some sort of sick woman. I want them to treat me fairly and not pity me." Cali explained. She was there to study and work hard for her dream. And she would appreciate it if no one knew about her condition and personal life at all. Rui heaved a sigh and muttered, "As you wish. You''re the boss, sweetheart." Cali''s eyes widened, she turned at him with a sharp gaze, then snarled, "And make sure you don''t call me like that at school!" Rui chuckled as he said, "Well I will try but sometimes I just can''t help it, especially when you''re grumpy. Try to avoid being grumpy towards me¡­ Maybe that will help, sweetheart." Cali no longer debated. To be honest, her heart often skipped a beat whenever she heard that word from him. It was like she liked it whenever he called her sweetheart, but then she remembered their doctor-patient relationship and thought that it would be awkward. Cali quickly left Rui''s car as he parked, but not before checking the surroundings. Rui shook his head as he watched her walk in the elevator. Cali was not detesting him and he could feel that she was somehow recognizing her feelings a little, since she was not asking him to completely stop everything he was doing. She would be hesitant at first, but later on she would just ignore it all and let him have his way. Soon he went out of the car to follow Cali from a distance but his face crumpled seeing Kane put his arms around her shoulders as he greeted her. If not for Cali''s health, he would have already given that boy a good beating countless times. He understood they were friends and probably had that kind of closeness way before he met Cali, but could the bastard at least consider the fact that Cali was still married to him? ''The nerve!'' he furiously beamed and walked faster, intentionally going through the middle of the two of them. "Excuse me¡­ PDA is not allowed here¡­" He beamed, maintaining his place in between them. "What the heck!" Kane cursed and Rui gave him a piercing glare, whispering, "Do you want me to sue you boy?!" Chapter 506 - Hes My Type Kane was infuriated by Rui''s actions. Rui was like a leech sticking to Cali in his vague but mostly vulgar ways. Whenever he would even try to get near Cali, that doctor always found ways to drive him away. Both of them were obviously getting on each other''s nerves. "Isn''t he meddling too much in your life?" he could not help but whisper to Cali as they went inside the assigned room for orientation. Kane could finally breathe with Rui away since the latter went to the restroom, so Kane got the opportunity to instigate Cali by asking that question to her. Cali frustratedly heaved a long sigh and said, "I have no choice. That''s one of grandpa''s conditions for allowing me to study here. I tried to talk him out about it but grandpa couldn''t be bent in his decision." "Grandpa Lua trusts me too, so I think he will approve if you insist to him that you would prefer to stay in our house. Maybe asking like that and showing a little pitiful faces to him will be effective?" Kane suggested, though he doubted it could happen since grandpa Lua and nanny Shine were both biased to Rui. But still, there was no harm in trying at least. Who knows, it could end up to his advantage. And who would have thought that the doctor would also enroll himself at culinary arts school? Seriously? Kane did not know whether to get irritated or admire Rui for his persistence, despite the fact that Cali no longer remembered him. He heard that there was a higher possibility that Cali would no longer regain her lost memories that was why he was confident and vulgar in showing his intention about Cali in front of Rui as well. "Cali¡­" he whispered. He felt that he should tell Cali his intention that instant. "Yup." Cali answered. "Aren''t you going to ask why I''m here?" He murmured. She looked at him with a twitched mouth and raised eyebrows. "To bully me nonstop?" Cali then answered with a chuckle as she looked at the other students entering with different nationalities. All of them probably had the same dream like her except for Kane and Rui. "That''s not it¡­" Kane uttered. "Why take culinary arts then, Kane? Rui took it to follow me since he needs to take care of my health and monitor me 24/7? But how about you? You hate cooking and all you want to do is eat and eat like a hungry cat every time." she asked in curiosity. Kane gulped and wondered where she got her examples from¡­ then mustered his courage as he declared, "I wanted to follow you and be with you Cali because I like you Cali and I want to pursue you." Cali was shocked and beamed, "Are you kidding me? You''re always bullying me! And why are you saying such a thing right now? Really at this time?" She never thought about it, and it didn''t cross her mind that Kane liked her more than like a sister who he often bullied? But she must admit that there came a point where she had a crush on him during her high school days, but that was way before... Cali''s eyes widened as she burst, "Is this one of your pranks?!" "No!" Kane clarified and cursed himself as he regretted his approach to Cali before that she tended to not take him seriously ever, just like now. "That was my way of getting your attention by pranking and bullying you Cali, but now I''m more matured so I want to do things in a proper way like how a man does when he likes a woman." He wanted to tell Cali he loved her for a long time now but he wanted to prepare something special as he confessed that. Right now, he wanted Cali to look at him as a man, as a potential partner so he straightforwardly told her he liked her. Kane''s talking was interrupted with a woman''s voice asking, "Is this seat taken?" Cali smiled at the beautiful woman and shook her head saying, "it''s available. Please feel free to sit." The woman sat beside Kane. "Hello. I''m Ruth," the woman introduced herself and extended her hand for a handshake to Cali. Cali initially liked her because she seemed cool and friendly.

Cali introduced herself and gladly accepted Ruth''s handshake but Kane only nodded and Cali had to elbow him as she nuzzled to Ruth''s hand. Kane accepted it and he frowned when the woman winked at him. Soon Rui arrived and sat right beside Cali. "Hello." Ruth greeted. Rui gave the woman a nice smile and said, "Hello there also." Then Ruth also introduced herself to Rui. The orientation started and everyone was focussed on the briefing. Ruth was chatting to Cali once in a while and finally Kane had to swap seats so the two ladies could talk easily. Rui on the other hand was thankful to Ruth because Kane was no longer sitting beside Cali. Later on they were guided to the room with complete kitchen utensils and the professor gave each of them their assigned seats and table. "Your seats and tables will be your home for next few months so make sure you take care of it." The professor reminded them. Cali was feeling so giddy while Rui gazed at her with love. He was so happy seeing the happiness on Cali''s face adorned with her bright smiles. There were only ten of them inside the room and the professor gave them a couple of minutes to get to know each other and introduce themselves to the class. Rui came first and Cali could see the squealing of most women in the room. "Is he your boyfriend?" Ruth asked. "No." Cali answered but felt confused because deep inside she wanted to say ''yes'' somehow. "Oh that''s good then, because I really want to have him as mine¡­" Cali''s jaw dropped and looked at Ruth in disbelief. Ruth''s face blushed as she added, "He''s exactly my type. Matured and manly with mysterious vibes but easily approachable. He''s also a medical doctor I came to know¡­" Ruth then faced her and said, "You two seem really close, so can you please help me get close with him? Please¡­?" Kane heard that conversation and grinned at the thought of him having an ally in Ruth. "Yes we can help you get near him," Kane was the one to answer because Cali looked speechless. Chapter 507 - Whom It Belongs Cali somehow felt weird and uncomfortable with Ruth''s candidness in expressing how much she liked her private doctor. Today she realised that she did not believe in the saying that ''first impression lasts''. Because her good first impression about that new girl suddenly turned to bad. Her good vibes around Ruth suddenly changed as she mused, ''Which sane woman would announce she likes someone on the first day she met him, and as shamelessly as she did? Huh, moreover¡­ he is MY private doctor and is here for my care, how can anyone else even get close to him so fast?'' Well she didn''t declare it to Rui personally but Ruth''s actions were too obvious as she kept on finding chances to talk to Rui, asking unnecessary things now and then and trying to divert his attention towards herself. Cali''s face crumpled seeing how Ruth was trying to strike conversation on various topics not even minding that she was in between the two, sitting beside Rui. They were also talking during their transfer to another classroom for another subject, annoying Cali even more. They took the same seats in that classroom as well and she and Ruth sat in between Kane and Rui, who sat beside Cali.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/whom-it-belongs_%!d(string=49556575618122603) for visiting. She was glad that soon they would head to separate ways for lunch, hoping Ruth would then leave them and stop pestering the poor doc. They attended the class and Ruth continued trying to gain attention from Rui throughout the lecture. As soon as the lecture ended Cali stood up and they all walked outside the room following her and to her disappointment she heard Ruth''s voice as she spoke in her sweet tone, "Doc, can I join you for lunch? You see I don''t really know anyone here and I hate eating lunch alone." ''Why does she need to ask her doctor when Ruth could have asked her? Isn''t she quite fast in showing her interest directly to my doctor, huh?'' Cali silently complained. She was feeling uncomfortable! She did not know why but she didn''t like Ruth getting near to her private doctor. ''Maybe I''m a possessive kind of patient?'' She reasoned to herself at the back of her head because she felt so weird feeling repulsive to some woman because of her doctor like that. "Let''s go?" Cali heard Kane as he pulled her because she promised earlier she would treat the latter for lunch and dinner today. She nodded but she was hesitant in leaving like that. She looked at Rui who asked her, "Where will you eat lunch? Do u mind if me and Ruth tag along?" "No, we want our privacy so it''s better let''s go our separate ways¡­" Kane interrupted pulling Cali to leave with him and headed in a separate direction. Rui''s face darkened, hearing that bastard speaking between him and his wife. But he tried to calm himself down and immediately changed that dark expression into a faint smile as he looked at Cali. "See you around then," Rui whispered with a heavy heart. He didn''t want to push her any further to give Cali little space since he didn''t want her to get more irritated with him by latching onto her. He knew he should give her more space and he also wanted to see how Cali would react and do at that moment. ''Sweetheart, doesn''t your heart churn leaving your husband with another woman? Don''t ask your brain, listen to your heart sweetheart and take me with you!'' He wanted to voice out. With a sigh, he turned around and walked with Ruth who was too cheerful as she started talking to him about lunch. "Where do you want to eat?" He plainly asked Ruth. "Anywhere is okay but I saw some good restaurants outside so how about we try one of them, right¡­" Ruth''s words were cut off when she felt someone suddenly tugged her arm. She turned around and saw Cali stood there holding her arm and gave her a poker smile saying, "hey we should all eat together and get along¡­" Rui''s heart was thumping loudly out of joy seeing Cali was back to him, to bring him back with her. He didn''t want to boost his hopes up, but somehow he was positive that Cali didn''t want to be separated from him as well. He could see that she was starting to get attached with him and that was a good sign, once again, for him. He looked smugly at Kane and almost burst out laughing seeing his annoyed face. It was not enough to satisfy him so he walked behind Cali and Ruth beside Kane as he whispered, "the brain may forget but the heart will always remember whom it belongs to¡­" He knew it was childish of him to do such things but he couldn''t help and pointed it out to the bastard, because messing with him so openly was too disrespectful of him, combined with the fact that he and Cali were still legally married. Kane didn''t know his boundaries and was barking at the wrong tree. Being young was not an enough excuse for him to behave that aggressively and cunningly. He would definitely teach him a lesson by any means possible, but right now his main focus was Cali and his different tactics in making her fall in love with him again. Kane gritted his teeth hearing that. He snorted and walked faster and stayed beside Cali to join the two women and avoid getting annoyed anymore, with him not having his desired private time with Cali. This time it was Cali''s decision and he felt that same familiar pain struck inside his heart that he had experienced when Cali told him about her love for Rui before her memory loss. But he quickly shook his head, brushing off any negative thoughts with that gesture from Cali. Surely Cali probably thought it would be better to have lunch together since she seemed to like Ruth. ''Yeah Kane¡­ That''s only it. Don''t get discouraged¡­'' he inwardly cheered for himself. Chapter 508 - Comparing Herself They chose the nearest restaurant that was just a walking distance from school. "So since how long do the three of you know each other?" Ruth asked. "Me and Cali have known each other since we''re teenagers and we went to the same school during our high school days." Kane answered with a smile and even winked at Cali. Rui saw that and he balled his fist in annoyance. If not for his immeasurable control he already would have beaten Kane to the pulp! He was openly flirting with his wife! Such a vulgar and shameless brat!! "Oh, childhood sweethearts?!" Ruth blurted out with a teasing look at the two. "Nah¡­ They''re just friends, more like siblings¡­ Right Cali?" Rui corrected. He gazed at Cali waiting for her answer. Cali looked into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously nodded at what Rui said, and Kane felt as if his world just crumbled at that moment. Rui had another triumphant grin plastered on his handsome face as he added, "it''s more realistic to say that they are childhood siblings¡­ definitely not sweethearts¡­" Ruth nodded in understanding before she turned at Rui and asked, "how about you Doc? You know them since long too?" Rui smiled at Cali and said softly, "Hmm, it doesn''t actually matter how long we''ve known each other for, but what matters is the harmonious connection we have with each other, that I can say she will stay and remain in my life for a real long time¡­" Cali blushed hard without her knowing¡­ Rui''s gaze seemed to be piercing down her soul. The look in his eyes made her feel strange, something she could not explain nor give a name to. Ruth gulped¡­ She smelled something fishy in that answer so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Oh, our food is here¡­ We better eat first." While they were eating Kane would put on extra vegetables on Cali''s plate and more meat. Rui''s face crumpled seeing that. ''How dare you!'' He wanted to yell but again controlled himself. He wanted to do that since the moment the food arrived but he suppressed his urge to do so, since Cali pleaded to him to let her breathe at school and for him not to act out of ordinary in front of schoolmates. He sighed then grabbed those vegetables and meats Kane gave to Cali as he mumbled, "She has had enough. I''m still hungry so I will take this on her behalf. Cali should not eat too much to maintain her s.e.xy and curvy shape. This quantity of meat can make her belly big." Kane gritted his teeth because Rui was obviously sabotaging his thoughtfulness towards Cali He smirked and said, "Are you starving that much doc? Just make another order. It''s so unethical snatching food from other''s plates like that..." Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "Cali doesn''t mind so I don''t see any point in you making a big deal out of it. You should know that we are close enough to share food like this." Ruth felt Kane disliking how Rui took the food away from Cali''s plate and she immediately interrupted the bickering men and offered, "Oh here¡­ You can have mine if you wish, why disturb her¡­"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/comparing-herself_%!d(string=49556579359445215) for visiting. "Doc why not take it¡­ You said you''re still hungry right?" Kane scorned with a smirk, wondering what Rui would do now! He could sense that Ruth had her eyes on Rui. He felt he found an ally in her and he would definitely help that ally to achieve her goal, so he could dispatch Rui out of his way. "Oh thank you Ruth but this will be enough¡­" Rui politely said and Ruth nodded. She could tell that the two men were fighting over Cali but the truth was that Cali could not have both. She smirked inwardly and thought she would do the honor of helping her out in eliminating one man and that would be the doctor. Rui would be hers by hook or by crook. She had long dreamt to have a handsome doctor with a good personality as her boyfriend and Rui was the perfect fit in the picture of her dreams. She liked him very much. Cali pursed her lips as she silently ate. She was completely distracted with Ruth''s presence and did not give a good attention to what Rui and Kane were bickering about. "How old are you Ruth?" She suddenly looked at her and asked. "I''m twenty-eight. I''m a fashion model and discovered my passion in cooking just recently." Ruth answered with a grin then with a timid smile looked at Rui and added, "Also, I wanna learn cooking to please my man in the future. I believe in the saying that the way to a man''s heart is through his stomach. Is that right doc?" Rui nodded and casually said, "yeah¡­ We men love it when our women cook delicious meals especially for us. Oh, your future man will be so lucky for you to enroll here just to take that much consideration to please him." "I guess you are that lucky person, doc¡­" Ruth whispered but Rui did not clearly hear and understand her so he asked, "I''m sorry¡­ What is it?" "Nothing doc." Ruth replied in her sweetest smile. Cali''s eyebrows collided because she heard that whisper from Ruth word by word, and her hands froze and she felt shaken by what Ruth meant. ''So shameless!'' She annoyingly mused. She looked at Ruth and sighed. No wonder she was slim and pretty¡­ She was a model but... she then bent her head and gave a look at herself and realised that she too was a lot way prettier. Then she realized she had never cooked any meal yet for Rui. It was always Rui who was preparing their meals instead. ''Oh I should start cooking our meals in the future¡­'' she thought. Then her eyes rounded, realizing what exactly just came to her mind. First, she was comparing herself to Ruth and now she was even thinking of doing such kind of efforts for her doctor? ''So what if she''s not cooking yet for Rui? It''s not like you want him to like you?!'' Her inner self beamed. "Doc¡­ How about we all go out for a picnic this weekend? You see I haven''t toured this country yet and I heard there''s a lot of nice places to see and visit here. Let''s do a group tour!" Ruth excitedly suggested. "Oh that''s a good idea Ruth." Kane seconded because that way he could also go out with Cali as well. "Why not¡­" Cali answered wryly. For some reason she just lost her appetite and was not looking forward to the coming weekend anymore. "Alright then." Rui nodded, seeing Cali agree reluctantly. ''She''s jealous¡­'' Rui mused as he silently observed Cali''s expressions. He grinned at the hope that his interpretation as a psychologist was correct and his approach in winning the heart of his wife, who had forgotten him, was falling at the right spots. Chapter 509 - Kiss Her Not Only Once But Nonstop Days passed swiftly. It had become a routine for Rui and Cali to go to school together and come back home together. Rui made sure he would not miss a single moment of being with her, he wanted her to get used to his presence. It was a holiday that day, so Cali and Rui did not have school. The two of them just stayed inside the house since they had to go out the next day for a picnic with Kane and Ruth. "Do you find Ruth pretty? Isn''t she a little too skinny?" Cali nonchalantly commented while she was having breakfast with Rui. "She''s a model Cali, so it''s only obvious that she looks slimmer than girls normally are." Rui answered. Cali pouted her lips. She was not satisfied with Rui''s answer. "I see. Men have different preferences. Do you think it''s better to have a slim body? Don''t men usually prefer girls with, you know, bigger butts and b.o.o.b.s?" Rui almost choked on his food when he heard those questions from Cali. "Well, I''m just curious. Kane likes girls who are in my category¡­ Maybe others like slim ones like Ruth." Amused, Rui looked at her with a grin and asked, "And what exactly is your category, Cali?" "Well, obviously I''m not slim, but I have perfect curves. You know, a fuller figure rather than the skinny one like Ruth." Cali proudly announced. She had nice b.o.o.b.s, not too small and not too big, but just the right size for her height and body. She also had a nice butt which meant every kind of outfit fit her perfectly. Looking up, she met Rui''s eyes and boasted, "Why are you laughing? Hey, even a manager for a well-known entertainment company approached me and said he wanted to scout me as the agency''s newly discovered talent.'''' Rui tried his best to control his laughter. He sensed why Cali was asking those questions and the reason immensely pleased him. "Hmmm, if you ask me about my preference, I like a woman who will care for me and just stay by my side. Someone who''s kind, generous, loving, sweet and thoughtful will do." he answered with his adorable smile. Cali twitched her mouth and complained, "Those are all personality attributes. I''m talking about their physical appearance." "Oh, well, in that case someone who looks something like you will do¡­" Rui answered in a jest. He had that teasing grin on his face. Cali''s cheeks flushed as she mumbled, "Geez, I can''t even talk to you seriously. By the way, I want to cook lunch later today." "Wow, really?" Rui suddenly burst out because it had been really long since he tasted Cali''s cooking and he missed it so bad. Cali yawned and uttered, "Yeah, but I will not help you clean the house today." She was still sleepy and not in the mood to do some chores right now. Rui woke her up for the routine exercises and breakfast, but the bed was pulling her back. Rui noticed her yawning, and he said, "Alright go sleep a little more and I will take care of everything." Cali smiled brightly and hummed, "Don''t worry, I will help you when I wake up. I''ll just nap for an hour at most. Then I can help you." Rui chuckled and said, "Go sleep all you want. It''s really okay. I will wake you up if you''re still sleeping when it''s lunchtime." "But I want to cook lunch, so wake me up after an hour." Cali mumbled. She finished her breakfast and stood up saying, "I will leave first." She turned around to walk back to her bedroom, but then felt Rui''s hand on her wrist as he whispered, "Wait¡­" She turned around and faced him with knitted brows, asking, "What?" Rui moved closer to her and bent to her face, she was startled by the proximity and unconsciously moved a step back. He smiled before her face, taking Cali''s breath away at that moment. He was really handsome with his brown wavy hair dangling on his forehead. He looked so fresh with his messy and unruly hair whenever he stayed inside the house. She wanted to stretch her fingers and ruffle his hair to play with them. Her strange thoughts were distracted by him touching her chin. Cali''s lips parted with his action and she thought he was going to kiss her and she unconsciously closed her eyes to welcome his lips on hers. "See, you even have a pimple here. Are you staying up late?" she heard him say with a chuckle. At that instant, she opened her eyes and saw his teasing grin. Cali''s face reddened in embarrassment as she quickly moved away from him and unconsciously touched that pimple he was talking about on her chin. That pimple suddenly popped up this morning when she woke up, and it was the first time she got any of those. It was too noticeable on her face because she had a naturally white, glowing, smooth skin and was not wearing any concealer at that point. Cali pouted her lips and quickly turned around saying, "Maybe I''m just not used to my new face wash." Trotting back to her bedroom, she released a deep, frustrated sigh every now and then. She did lack some sleep lately, and it was all because of Rui. His handsome face crept in front of her eyes whenever she tried to fall asleep. Thinking about his smile made her lose a good night''s sleep. "It''s his fault! Only his fault¡­ humph!!" She mumbled as she was inside her bedroom. She jumped on her bed and buried her face in the pillow as she inwardly screamed, "Ahhhhh¡­" She felt annoyed at how stupid she was a while ago with the whole closing her eyes and anticipating a kiss thing. "He''s probably out there laughing right now!" she sighed as she closed her eyes. Rui was not laughing but whistling as he cleaned the dining area. He would smile and chuckle on his own whenever he recalled Cali''s reaction. "She was anticipating a kiss¡­" he hummed with joy. "Next time I won''t be polite and grant those anticipations of her." Then regret struck him for not kissing Cali, even though he was dying to. He did it because this was still early. He needed to invest more in getting Cali''s heart so he could kiss her not just once but nonstop. He knew he was doing things right. Soon enough his wife would come back home and most definitely find her way back into his arms without getting lost. Chapter 510 - Spicy Rui was sweating badly when he finished cleaning the whole house. He looked at the clock and it was past two hours already. He was about to enter Cali''s room when the door suddenly opened and he saw her standing there with her just awoken face. Something that he loved the most and wished to see everyday when he opened his eyes in the morning. "Oh, I was about to wake you up." he said smiling. Cali nodded but furrowed her brows while she looked at his chest. "Look at you bathing in sweat. Go and change fast!" she snorted at the thought of Rui getting sick if he let that sweat last long on his body. "Noted sweetheart." Rui answered with a wink and quickly turned around to rush into his bedroom for a shower and to change his clothes. Cali, on the other hand, went directly into the kitchen and smiled. She wanted to cook something good. She went to the kitchen and halted, murmuring, "What should I cook but? I don''t even know what he likes and his favourite dishes!" She opened Rui''s refrigerator and smiled, seeing all the ingredients she needed were there. Cali began her cooking full of passion. She would show Rui how good she was in it. When Rui came back, he had already had a bath and was looking fresh. Cali was almost done with the lunch as well. "Do you need help?" Rui asked as he knitted his eyebrows when he smelled that familiar aromatic scent. His heart skipped a beat as he looked intently at Cali and asked, "What are you cooking?" "Oh, wait for me at the dining table. I''m almost done here. It''s braised beef¡­" Cali answered with a smile. She was somehow confident that Rui would love what she prepared for lunch. Rui quietly followed her request and waited at the dining table while he watched Cali serve him the food. Cali sat afterwards and said, "Common dig in." "You''ll even forget your name once you get a taste of my cooking." Cali even boasted. She stared at Rui while he began to eat. She wanted to see his reaction. "Why did you make braised beef?" Rui asked in his cracked voice. This was his favorite dish, and Cali even particularly made sure she learned how to cook it with her own specific touch and style. He looked deeply at Cali, waiting for her answer, hoping she somehow could recall him. "Hmm, I don''t know why, but when I saw the beef in the refrigerator this dish suddenly popped in my head. It just came to my mind and I felt like cooking spicy braised beef for you. Did you like it? I mean is it too spicy?" Cali asked. She was confident she did well in cooking it but still she wanted to hear Rui''s comments on it. She wanted him to love it and actually even anticipated him to ask her to cook dishes for him. Her face soured recalling how that cunning Ruth boasted about her cooking skills and blabbering about why she enrolled at that school, so she could cook better than what she already did for her man. She shook her head to erase that woman from her mind and looked back at Rui, waiting for his judgement. Rui smiled brightly and nodded saying, "I love it." Then tilted his head down as tears fell from his eyes. He tried his best not to cry as he ate the food, chewing the familiar and his favourite flavours, hoping Cali would not notice his tears that he was trying to stop but in vain. He was too emotional while he ate, because he did not expect Cali would anyhow remember that dish with exactly the same flavours and spices as she used to cook for him and he loved. It hurt him so much that she remembered his favorite dish, remembered even the exact proportion of spices but she still could not recall the person for whom she learnt to cook that dish, her husband! ''Sweetheart¡­ I really want to cuddle and kiss you right now,'' his eyes yelled in yearning but he knew he must control himself. Patience¡­ He needed to boost his patience. "Are you alright? Didn''t you like it? Was it too spicy for you? Sorry I added chili, thinking you preferred a bit of hot food." Rui could no longer hold his tears while he answered Cali, "Yeah a little spicy¡­ So it''s making me cry, but I love it just like this. I love eating this kind of food. I like spicy food." "I thought so¡­" Cali answered with a grin and handed Rui a tissue. "Here¡­ Geez¡­ I can''t believe that spicy food can make you cry like this. Now I know what to do just to make you cry," Cali commented in a jest. She stood up to get Rui some fresh juice and also served him some desserts. "I''m not crying because of chillies but because I was touched as it''s the first time you cooked me something delicious ever since we moved in here." Rui uttered to disguise the reason for his crying more. Cali laughed and beamed with an evil and playful grin, "Don''t worry from now on the kitchen area will be my ground. I will handle our meals, doc. I will make more spicy dishes for you so I can make you cry every day." Rui chuckled and said, "I really don''t mind as long as it''s you. But remember, even I will have my chance in making you cry..." Cali suddenly blushed when she heard him and peeled the underlying meaning of his words, which he might or not have meant... Soon they finished lunch and Cali cleaned up the table and went to the sink to wash the dishes. "I''ll do the washing," Cali heard Rui from behind as he added, "Go and rest or watch some movies in the living room and I will follow you shortly." Cali turned around and said, "Thanks¡­" But paused because Rui was too close to her. "I really love what you cooked for me, Cali. Thank you, sweetheart. I''m looking forward to eating more of your dishes¡­" Rui whispered with his eyes gazing into hers deeply and Cali felt those stares pierced deep down into her soul. And the word ''sweetheart'' coming out from his mouth felt like tingling the nerves of joy inside her erratically beating heart. She was mesmerised, but she controlled the parting of her lips, remembering her embarrassment before at the thought of Rui would kiss him. She would not make the same mistake again. Cali gave him a half smile and said, "You really want to cry every day, huh?" She moved to get away from him and Rui gave her way, chuckling as he teased,, "Why? Are you getting distracted with my closeness? I can''t blame you¡­ Most women do, whenever I''m in their close proximity." Cali''s face twitched as she murmured, "I''ll better leave now doc instead of listening to your boasting about yourself¡­" "Is he referring to Ruth?!" Cali whispered annoyingly as she walked into the living area to watch some good movies. Rui heaved a deep sigh as he watched Cali leave. Chapter 511 - Déjà vu Cali closed her eyes as she waited for Rui to join her at the living area. Lately, her thoughts were fully occupied with a lot of unnecessary things and she wanted to clear her mind. Rui''s proximity has been putting a very huge impact on her, and she was shocked by herself when she realised how she was anticipating a kiss from him. She exasperated loudly trying to clear off her mind and then tried to relax herself and unconsciously dozed off. Rui, on the other hand, quickly wrapped up the dining table and cleaned the kitchen to join Cali in the living area to watch television. He took a bit of extra time since he finished all the braised beef that Cali cooked. His stomach was filled with food, but his heart felt fuller¡­ his wife had fragments of memory intact, if not him she at least remembered his tastes, and his heart was now hopeful that she would soon remember him as well. Soon he finished all the cleaning and walked to the living room and grinned, seeing Cali asleep like a soft baby on the sofa. Her innocent face was inviting him to hug her and kiss her. But... "Look at her sleeping like a baby¡­" he softly whispered as he walked towards her. "Cali¡­" he called out gently, so she could get up from there and comfortably shift to her room. But she seemed to be sleeping soundly, so Rui reached to her, wrapped his arms around her, gently carried her and walked to her room. It was the first time after so many months he could finally take Cali in his arms and his heart raced with joy. He watched her beautiful face and suddenly wanted to hug her closer and not leave at all, but controlled himself again. That petite figure in his powerful arms was exceptionally beautiful and comfortably snuggled her head against his chest. Cali was actually already awake when Rui called her name. She was only half asleep and didn''t want to move at all. She suddenly wanted to see what her private doctor would do if she fell asleep and didn''t wake up even on being called. Would he leave her on the couch or would he wake her up by calling a little more loudly? She kept her eyes closed and as she waited for his response, she suddenly felt herself floating in his air and before she could change her strategy, she realised she was in his arms, being carefully hugged closely and carried to her room. She was so close to him she could smell the fragrance coming from him, his manly scent. She snuggled a little closer on his chest, inhaling him with her every breath and feeling surprised how intoxicating this was. How she wished she could dig her face a little more in his chest and keep inhaling like this all the day long. She was smiling inside¡­ She did not know when it began, probably the first time she saw him sleeping in the flight or when he called her sweetheart, or probably when he showed his possessiveness towards her. But she was aware that she was starting to like her handsome private doctor quite a lot or probably she had a crush on him. She was not sure either with what she was feeling, but she enjoyed being close to him and when he was with her. She also knew she felt bad when he talked to anyone else than her, and especially when the other person was a woman. Cali wondered if she was feeling jealous. For some reason, she felt secure wrapped in his arms, like she was home. ''I want to hug him tightly,'' Cali mused. When Rui genty put her on the bed, he made sure she was covered properly in the blanket and then left from there. Cali felt so disappointed because she knew he would leave her already. She heard his leaving footsteps and the closing of her door, making her purse her lips. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the ceiling¡­ her thoughts still lingered on Rui but snapped when her mobile phone on the bed-side table rang and she saw it was Kane. "Do you think we can have at least dinner together? I want to cook for you Cali, so how about visiting me here at home and I will prepare your favourite food for dinner. If that doctor says you can''t come without him then fine. Bring him along." Kane mumbled with an evil grin. He had already planned how he would make sure that Rui should be busy enough at dinner and he would have enough time to spend with Cali alone. "Alright, I will tell him¡­" Cali answered. She also wanted to see the new house Kane''s father bought. After some time, Cali went out and saw Rui was watching a movie sitting alone in the living room. "Oh, you''re awake so fast?" Rui commented. Cali sat beside him and casually said, "I will be going out for dinner. At Kane''s house." "No!" Rui yelled. "You can also come if you want. Kane said I can bring you along." Cali replied.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%C3%A9j%C3%A0-vu_49624837664074263 for visiting. Rui''s eyebrows arched. He was sure the bastard was up to something evil again. "Do you want to go?" Rui asked. "Yeah. I actually wanted to see their family''s newly bought house, so please don''t be a killjoy? It''s just dinner, so there''s no need to turn down Kane''s good intention." "Good? You mean ill intention¡­" Rui whispered. "What?!" "Nothing. I said okay we will go. Give me the address." The evening came and Cali with Rui arrived at Kane''s family house. It was also the same as their house in country V. And as Rui expected, Kane was really up to something evil when Ruth suddenly popped out of nowhere and greeted her and Cali. "I also invited Ruth for dinner," Kane said with a smile. Cali''s face crumpled, seeing Ruth instantly pull Rui at the veranda for their private time. "Come and help me serve dinner¡­" Kane immediately said, pulling her also to the kitchen and dining area. "Don''t you have helpers to do it?" Cali beamed. "But I want to be with you¡­" Kane said. Cali heaved a sigh and asked Kane to sit on the chair. "Why?" "Let''s talk seriously." Cali mumbled. Kane scratched his head and straightforwardly said, "I told you, I like you Cali and I want to court you. Prove myself to you that we can be more than friends. To be honest¡­ I love you¡­" Cali''s eyebrows furrowed hearing that. She crossed her arms, looked at Kane intently and said, "Kane, I''m sorry if this will break your heart, but I..." Kane''s face paled as he felt a kind of d¨¦j¨¤ vu when Cali told him the same thing when he confessed to her in the hospital after he got beaten up to death. ''Oh God, please don''t do this to me¡­ Oh Cali, please don''t say the same words again!'' Kane cried silently as his heart thumped so hard like crazy. He could feel the sudden chills run all over his bones, just like that day when Cali turned him down. That day flashed back through his eyes. He suddenly stood up and pulled Cali towards himself. Without giving a second thought, he bent a little and kissed her on her lips. Chapter 512 - More Beautiful Cali was stunned and taken aback by his stupid action but was quick to push Kane away and was so furious that she slapped him hard on his cheek. With narrowed eyes, she glared at Kane and said, "Kane, I like you and I love you just as a brother. If you want me to remain as your sister then stop spouting nonsense and act crazily like this or else I will never see you again, and understand this, just so you can get over me and move on." Cali turned around to quickly leave Kane. Her eyes were misty and face was red with humiliation and irritation because she could not believe Kane would jeopardize their years long friendship like that. She even thought that he was only joking around when he said he liked her during orientation. She wiped her lips roughly and annoyingly mumbled, "How dare he take away my first kiss!" She went to the veranda and saw Rui talking with Ruth, who kept on smiling like a fool fawning over him. "Flirt!" she whispered, and she did not know what came to her that she rushed there and pulled Rui by his wrist. "Let''s go!" she hissed. "Wait¡­ What happened? What''s going on? Why are you leaving suddenly?" Ruth asked, getting annoyed by Cali''s weird behaviour. Rui instantly noticed Cali''s unstable aura, so he looked at Ruth and said, "We will leave now, Sorry about this." And that instant, Rui held Cali''s trembling hand and walked outside with her. "What happened?" Rui asked as he drove back to their home. Cali exhaled loudly and said, "Nothing¡­ Just a small quarrel between me and Kane." Rui no longer pondered more, but his face dimmed. He could sense something bad had happened based on the hurt, annoyed and irritated expressions of Cali. He wondered if she was reacting that way because of jealousy about him and Ruth, but he recalled that they were just sitting and talking. He felt something more had happened for her to walk out like that. Something big between Cali and Kane definitely happened when they went to the kitchen. He honestly let Ruth pull him away easily, to see Cali''s reaction. Then he saw Kane pull Cali away, and he controlled himself with all his might not to follow Cali and to leave her some space to breathe with a friend. There was pure silence and Rui decided to stop the car at the restaurant they passed by a while ago. Kane''s house was located by the hill, so he was sure the restaurant near it would have a good view of the sunset. It was almost dark, but they could still see the setting sun and the orange sky. Cali did not ask anything when they stopped. "Let''s eat here." Rui stated and went out to open Cali''s door. Rui chose the table outside where they had a good view of the open sky. Rui handled the order for both of them. Cali watched the sunset as they waited for their orders to come. She was still very mad at Kane, the audacity of him to pounce on her without any warning. She wondered why she was also irritated at Rui. She pursed her lips as she unconsciously looked at Rui every now and then. She sat there quietly with a sewn expression, her head bent when she felt Rui suddenly stood up and removed his coat. He then approached her and put his warm coat on her shoulders, covering her properly. "It is a little colder here since we''re at the hill¡­" Rui explained as he went back to his seat. Cali could smell his scent from his coat and she liked its warmth. She felt like Rui had embraced her and locked her in his arms. She then looked at Rui who sat there just in a full sleeves shirt and realized Rui could feel the cold as well, so she said, "You''ll catch a cold. Put this back on, I''m wearing a coat too." Rui smiled at her lovingly, making Cali silently gasp because of his charm. "I''m fine. I have thick skin so I can''t feel it. Are you worried about my health sweetheart?" Rui teased with a grin. Cali crumpled her face and murmured, "Yeah right¡­ You''re indeed thick skinned¡­" Rui laughed, and Cali also chuckled¡­ "What''s more beautiful? Sunrise or sunset?" Cali suddenly asked while still staring at the sun as darkness would soon replace it. "You¡­" Rui quickly answered, staring intently at his wife. For him, nothing was more beautiful than his wife. Turning her head towards Rui, Cali scoffed, "Huh?!" Wondering if she heard him right. She was blushing without her knowing. Rui maintained eye contact with her and with a smile said, "I said you''re more beautiful¡­" "Stop that¡­" Cali murmured as she felt her face turning hot. Rui chuckled as he added, "But for me you''re really more beautiful than the sunrise or sunset." "But I''m asking about the sun!" Cali came again, hiding her flushing. ''He''s such a womanizer," Cali mused as she controlled the erratic beating of her heart. Rui heaved a long deep sigh and looked at the sun instead as he said, "Sunrise and sunset are both beautiful. Whenever I see the sunrise, I''m grateful for another day I''m alive and am able to see you¡­ I mean... to see and be with people I care for. Whenever I see the sunset, I''m grateful I survived the day¡­ controlling myself..." Rui paused, then heaved a long deep frustrated sigh. Every day he was controlling himself hard in telling Cali how much he loved her and that he was her husband. "Huh, what controlling?" Cali was totally confused about what her doctor was blabbering about.. Rui had that roguish smile on his face when he said, "Control on doing bad things to other people¡­" Cali shook her head and muttered, "For me, sunrise is more beautiful¡­" "Would you like to share what happened at Kane''s place and why we had to leave from there in a haste?" Rui asked, but before she could reply, their orders finally arrived. "It''s nothing¡­ Let''s just eat first." Cali answered. She was starving already, so Cali focussed on her food instead. In the middle of their dinner, Rui''s mobile phone rang. "Yes, Ruth¡­" Cali''s face soured, knowing it was Ruth who called Rui. "Yeah, she''s fine and we''re already having dinner now. No. I don''t think that''s a good idea. Yes, please¡­. Yeah, I''m in the middle of the dinner. Alright, thanks." Then Rui ended the call. "Ruth called?" Cali asked with a twitched mouth. "Yeah, she''s worried about you." "Yeah, right? Why not call me then? She also has my number." "Your phone can''t be reached." Cali cursed because she forgot she turned off her mobile phone as soon as she was inside the car because she knew Kane would call her nonstop or send her messages of his apology and sorry. Instead of showing her irritation, Cali just focussed on her dinner. But deep inside it annoyed her that Ruth and Rui were probably talking often on the phone. Chapter 513 - I Don’t Want You To Miss Me The next morning, Cali decided that she would not go to the picnic that Ruth suggested for the four of them on that weekend. They even had a plan of staying overnight in the resort they were going for their picnic to. It was eventually cancelled since Rui informed Ruth that he would also not continue with the plan. Rui could sense that there was a big quarrel that happened between Kane and Cali for her to act like that and not join them even for the picnic, because Cali loved going out. "You can go for the picnic, doc, you know. I''m sure Ruth had been anticipating a lot for this day." Cali scoffed while doing her exercises that early morning. But deep inside her heart she was so grateful Rui also cancelled his program and decided to stay with her only. "I guess you and Kane had some big quarrel because you do not even want to see him and cancel such an appointment." Rui nonchalantly commented. Cali, still annoyed recalling what happened, unconsciously burst, "That bastard stole my first kiss!" "What!" Rui exclaimed. Cali covered her mouth and even hit it gently for slipping it all out in haste. Her face reddened because of Rui''s gloomy look.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99t-want-you-to-miss-me_49624845733912019 for visiting. "That bastard dared to touch you?!" he was looking so furious, mad and angry that Cali suddenly felt scared for Kane because looking at him she felt as if Rui was ready to punish him. He was about to walk out in his anger that Cali had to run over him to stop him. "Where are you going?!" she asked, shaking. "I will teach that bastard a good lesson for trying to take advantage of you! How dare he kiss you! I will kill him!" Cali''s face paled, and she hugged Rui''s back as tears started falling from her eyes, "Please stop Rui, you''re scaring me with your anger." She was already sobbing and Rui could not tolerate that pitiful condition of hers and calmed himself down before turning around to face her and console her. "Why are you acting like that?! It''s scaring me. Kane is like my brother and I already did what I must yesterday!" Cali yelled, still sobbing as she scratched her eyes to wipe those tears. Rui''s anger dissipated seeing Cali in such a panicked state. He hugged her and stroked her hair and back gently as he whispered, "Husshhh¡­ Stop crying now. I will stay with you and not go anywhere, okay¡­" But at the back of his mind he thought that he would surely teach that bastard a good lesson for kissing his wife and provoking him by doing so! He would not let this go easily! How dare that imbecile man even think of it! He himself could not dare make a move towards her and even when he knew she wouldn''t mind him kissing, he never tried to kiss his wife, while that bastard dared to steal one?! He was enraged as hell¡­ But he tried to calm himself down so Cali would not panic. Rui gently pushed Cali away and wiped her tears from her cheek and with a smile asked, "What do you want to do today? Do you want to go out with me?" "I don''t want to go out. I just want to go swimming later all day if the sun is good," Cali whispered because that was her plan. She hadn''t tried Rui''s pool yet, and today the sun seemed good. "Alright then I will stay at home too and will join you. How about we also play some games," Rui suggested with a smile as he gently patted Cali''s head? "Stop that¡­" Rui chuckled and said, "Okay. Go finish your routine exercises and I will prepare something special for you for breakfast." Cali''s face crunched as she complained, "What? That same bland soup again?" Rui laughed and said, "It''s healthy¡­" "No way! I will prepare breakfast and you go finish your workout!" Rui saluted saying, "Yes ma''am!" Cali shook her head as she watched Rui run inside the house. That was his routine on the weekend weekend, after running he would rest for a while checking on her if she already finished her light exercises. Then he would usually prepare a heavy breakfast afterwards and continue with his work-outs. Cali felt like she was becoming more dependent on him and she honestly believed it was not a good thing. She quickly wrapped up with her routine and went inside the house to prepare breakfast. But then sighed¡­ She heard some ringing, and she knew it was Rui''s mobile phone that he left on the kitchen counter. She grabbed it so she could hand it to him, but the ringing stopped and it vibrated. Cali looked at the screen and accidentally read the message. [Bro! How are you doing there? We miss you a lot here. How is Cali now? Any progress? Anyway, we all wish you luck here and we are praying for the two of you. You can do it and don''t give up.] "Xander?" Cali murmured. The name sounded so familiar and she tried to think where she heard of it before, but she cringed as the pain in her head started to show up and increased as she tried any harder to remember her lost past. "Ahhh¡­" she cried while she held the kitchen counter for support. She was in that state when Rui came down and saw her. He quickly ran to get Cali''s medicine and helped her drink it that instant. "Calm down. Relax your head and mind. Breathe in and out¡­" Rui chanted the usual words to calm Cali, and she followed his instructions. He noticed Cali was holding his mobile phone and his heart almost skipped a beat. He had a lot of pictures there with Cali, and he wondered if Cali saw any of that. When Cali calmed down, she handed Rui''s mobile phone to him and said, "Xander was calling you¡­ I accidentally saw his message. His name sounds so familiar to me, and I tried hard to think where I heard it or if I know him already." Rui heaved a long, deep sigh of relief and held Cali''s hand and guided her to the living room so she could sit comfortably. He was contemplating if he should tell Cali or not that she knew Xander and Xander knew her too, but she would surely ask for more things and would cramp her head thinking about it all. "Xander is my friend, more like a brother to me. He''s also a doctor. He owns Yang Globals hospital and knew about me accepting this job from your father in being your private doctor so he knows all about you and your case." he simply explained. Cali only nodded, not thinking of anything because she hated the pain she felt every time she would try to think or recall about things. "He misses you¡­ Do you wanna go for a few days and meet him?" she murmured. "Hmm, if I leave¡­ You will also miss me a lot, and I can not allow that to happen! So let him miss me instead¡­ I don''t want you to miss me and cry without me, you see, so I will stay here with you," Rui said with a wink. Cali''s nose wrinkled as she mumbled, "Shhh, trying hard to be a joker, huh." Rui laughed and added, "Wait, here I will go and cook you something yummy today... not that bland soup." Cali nodded, then sighed as she tried to calm her crazy heart from beating so fast with his closeness and charming smile that he kept on throwing towards her. Chapter 514 - Seduce Rui looked at his mobile phone and wondered if he should let out complete messages open in his notifications on the screen or should also put a screen lock to his phone lest Cali might accidentally see anything. He did not want her to suffer any pain. It was okay for her to forget all those memories with him if it would cause Cali to suffer a severe headache. "I could just make fresh memories with you, sweetheart," he murmured as he decided to put a lock on his mobile phone. He was at the veranda while he did it, waiting for Cali to come. She wanted to swim since the sun was shining bright and it was hot, indeed it was good timing for swimming after lunch. He was so eager to seduce Cali with his swimming trunks. He grinned because he was too confident over his body. He knew he had some effect on Cali and he wanted to use it to his advantage so he could successfully enchant his dearest wife. Cali, on the other hand, suddenly felt shy and conscious on choosing which swimwear she should put on. She scattered them all over her bed and searched for a more appropriate one. She had two-piece bikinis, but she felt like it was too much that Rui would think that she wanted to seduce him with her nice and voluptuous body. Cali shrugged her shoulders and thundered, "How come I''ve been like this?!" She was facing trouble choosing just a simple swimwear. Cali was annoyed with how she was acting, so she just grabbed whatever she could and changed into it and then walked out of her room just to pause and run back to her room. She removed her bathrobe and quickly checked herself in the mirror. As she expected, whichever color she wore looked perfect on her. She was really grateful that she had the exquisite proportion and ideal body, just like what her friends used to say. She unknowingly grinned at the thought of her private doctor''s reaction once he saw her in her two-piece swimwear. Satisfied with how she looked, Cali beamed outside. Rui smiled seeing Cali finally arrived. He was actually already in the pool dipping since Cali took long and the bright sun was tempting him to go in for a jump and swim. "Hurry and jump!" Rui called. Cali contemplated for a while but confidently removed her top, scolding herself for acting like that when this was just a casual thing for her and she did not even mind eyes on her whenever she was going for a swim outside with friends. "Sh*t!" Rui gasped as his wife''s body was laid before his eyes. How he missed seeing those curves and the body that he preferred having n.a.k.e.d before him. He cursed inwardly because he could feel himself getting hard between his thighs just by looking at those perfect curves of her wife. He knew joining her for a swim would be pure torture for him, but he could not contain the excitement he was feeling to see her again in her swimwear. He kept heaving long, deep and frustrated sighs many times at the thought that he could only look, and not even touch any parts of her body at that moment. Cali jumped in and swam towards him¡­ She rose when she was almost near him, and Rui felt himself holding his breath as her face flashed before him in that wet look. Cali gave her a beautiful smile as she wiped the water on her face and said, "Ah, the water feels so nice. The sun is shining brightly and the temperature of the pool is just right!" Rui closed his mouth from drooling too much and nodded in agreement. He was planning to seduce his wife, but it turned out that he was the one getting seduced hard. "I will get us some snacks¡­" Rui whispered and quickly walked out of the pool or else he would get burned with the flame in his body. Cali watched him going out of the pool and she suddenly closed her eyes, seeing him only wearing his trunks. But she opened them again, realizing it was not the first time she saw a man wearing those. Her face reddened with embarrassment as she couldn''t help but look at Rui''s toned body with abs! "He''s s.e.xy¡­" she murmured, appreciating Rui''s s.e.xiness. Then she wondered what Rui thought of her in that swimsuit. "Did he find me attractive and s.e.xy as well?" Cali whispered with a sigh before doing her laps in the pool while waiting for Rui to come back with some snacks. Rui quickly peeled and chopped various fruits and put them on a platter. He could actually prepare it in advance, but he intentionally did it when Cali arrived so she could have a proper view of his front and behind. He grinned at his own silliness. But then he should try every possible way to seduce his dear wife and make her fall in love with him again. He was actually planning on the next step to be more of a skin to skin or physical contact, because it was often also an effective method. Soon, he went back and grinned because Cali unconsciously stared at him as he walked like a model on a runway towards the pool. "Did I pass?" he asked with a grin. "Huh?" Cali scoffed. Rui even gave her a nice pose. Cali laughed out loud and beamed, "Hey¡­ Are you really a doctor? Why do I feel like being a comedian will suit you more?" She was trying hard to hide her blush by throwing those words. But damn! Her private doctor was so hot. Rui sat on the side of the pool and put the tray there. He intentionally pouted his lips and utter, "You did not answer my question. I''m asking if you think I''m attractive enough." Cali swam to him and said in a jest, "You''re passable, Doc¡­" She then raised her arms and instructed, "Help me up¡­" Rui grabbed her arms, but Cali pulled him on the water instead. They ended up playing just like how kids would do, splashing water at each other. Chapter 515 - The Familiarity Cali was having too much fun with Rui and she had already forgotten the incident regarding Kane. She and Rui competed for several laps and Cali won every time. "Gosh are you a mermaid?" Rui beamed with a grin because he could not defeat Cali. She was way ahead of him always. Cali laughed and said, "I''m an awesome swimmer. This is one of my favourite sports." Rui knew that already but he still commented, "No wonder I can''t defeat you. How about you teach me some techniques too huh?" Cali nodded but she had been swimming for a while already and felt thirsty. She suddenly craved for a soda so she said, "Wait, I''ll go get us some soda¡­" "No, I''ll go and get it," Rui said but Cali was nearer the stairs of the pool. "It''s okay. I''ll get it. Tell me if you want anything else," she said chuckling because it was always Rui who often grabbed snacks and drinks. She went up in a hurry before he could reach her but then she accidentally tripped on the last stair causing, lost her balance and fell facing the ground. "Ahhh¡­" she cried in pain as she felt the weight on her knees. Rui almost flew to get beside her and checked her condition that instant. "Are you in pain?" He asked with a worried tone. Cali bit her lip and shook her head. She had a bruise on her knee and she heard him curse. Cali could not have anticipated what happened next. Rui suddenly lifted her up and carried her in his arms as he walked back inside. She was still wet and so was he since they just got out of the pool. "I think I can walk. Put me down, please," Cali whispered, feeling shy with their bare bodies brushing together. She could feel his warmth and the hardness of his chest on her palm. How she wanted to wrap her arms around his neck but didn''t because it would look weird and awkward. She looked at Rui and repeated what she said but Rui did not respond. His face was dark and he looked too worried, so Cali could only sigh. He went directly inside her bedroom. "Is there really nothing aching except your bruises?" Rui asked her as he gently put her down to sit on the couch inside her bedroom. "No. I think I''m fine¡­" Cali murmured. She had just a bit of pain on her knee because of the stingy bruises but apart from that there was really nothing. He inspected her legs and knees, pressing and checking as if making sure if she was telling the truth. When he confirmed she was fine Cali heard him heaving a long deep sigh. ''His expression¡­'' Cali mused. "Cali, next time please be more careful. You almost give me a heart attack from watching you fall like that. I don''t want to see as much as a mosquito bite on your skin!" Rui scolded. He was so worried for her that he tried his best not to scold her as much as he otherwise would have. Just seeing her knee with bruises broke his heart. Cali could not help but stare at Rui''s face more. ''Why does it look so familiar?'' She mused, still staring at Rui. Then, his scolding voice kept on repeating in her head. Cali''s eyes widened as she unconsciously murmured, "That expression and that scolding. I''ve seen the same expression before. I feel like I''ve been with you before Rui. Like, you did the same thing for me before where you''re worried and scolded me back then too." Rui stopped what he was doing and tilted his head up, staring at Cali. She called him with his first name for the first time... "That expression of yours¡­" "Don''t think too much. It''s probably fragments of your lost memory coming back to you." Rui calmed his heart as he explained. Cali was recalling him but he did not want to bring his hopes up. He stood up and grabbed the first aid kit only to realize that he was still in his trunks and Cali was still in her bikini, both of them still wet. Cali seemed to be thinking the same thing as he was because he heard her say, "I think I can manage these simple bruises Doc besides, I have to take a shower too. You should go back to your room and stop displaying your body." Rui nodded and immediately left Cali''s room. He held his chest as he walked back to his room to take a quick shower. Cali''s memories seemed to be coming back. A sudden glimmer of hope surged through his body. Though he had already set himself to hope for and expect the worst like, Cali would no longer remember him but still he was glad she could recall these little things about him. He had a quick shower and quickly went back to Cali''s room. He knocked¡­ Several times but there was no answer. He went inside and called out, "Cali?!" He suddenly got nervous at not seeing her around in the room. He knocked at the door of her bathroom, "Cali?!" No answer so Rui quickly opened the door. "Close your eyes!" Cali shouted at him, so he complied. "What happened? Why were you not answering?" "I can''t move my legs¡­ Can you hand me my bathrobe please and don''t open your eyes!" Rui quickly moved and grabbed it and covered Cali''s n.a.k.e.d body with it. She just stood still at the shower holding the wall for support. "I said close your eyes!" Cali scolded him, feeling embarrassed of the fact that Rui saw her n.a.k.e.dness. "We''re in an emergency Cali¡­ Do you think closing my eyes will apply? Stubborn. You probably have a cramp." Rui uttered as he again carried Cali in his arms to her bed. He checked her legs and moved them around a little so it would get comfortable and then, slightly massaged them too. He grabbed the first aid kit to attend to her bruises. Cali was quiet, as she only watched his every movement. Somehow in her heart she could feel the familiarity of what he was doing. She felt like somehow had been taking care of her even before, from a time she couldn''t remember. She felt it from the way he was doing it. Rui noticed her hair was still wet so he grabbed a towel and started drying Cali''s hair. "I can do it myself¡­" she whispered but deep inside her heart she wanted him to take care of her. She even rejoiced a little, when Rui did not listen to her and continued drying her hair himself. Chapter 516 - Your Last And Forever Kiss Rui pampered Cali so hard after that incident of her tripping and getting a small wound that she was left speechless. He then insisted that she stayed inside her bedroom to rest. "What would you like for dinner? I will cook and bring your food here. I think we did too many laps, that''s why you experienced cramping. It''s now better if you rest and later I will give you a massage on your legs." She was indeed a bit exhausted so she just listened obediently to him and followed whatever he instructed. He was her private doctor anyway so he knew what was best for her condition. After some time Rui brought her dinner¡­ Dinner in her bed¡­ "Hey my hands are working just fine." Cali complained because Rui wanted to feed her with his own hands. She felt so strange with the way he treated her that she wondered if a private doctor and patient relationsh.i.p.s were the same as them. "Nah. I want you to give good rest to your entire body, so I will feed you with my own hands. You''re my patient, so just keep quiet and be good, just listen to your doctor and don''t be stubborn." Rui said with a grin as he started to scoop some rice, put the shrimp and raised his hand to feed her. "Ahhh." He instructed, making Cali''s face turn red with embarrassment. But she ended up opening her mouth and letting her caring private doctor do what he wanted to do. Besides she did not mind getting pampered like that. She actually liked it because she felt she was someone special to be treated with care like that. "Do you do this kind of thing to other patients?" Cali asked. She suddenly felt sad if Rui would answer yes. ''Please say ''No''," Cali mused. "No. I do this only for you¡­ because it''s you. You are very special to me Cali." Rui straightforwardly answered. He wanted to say more sweet things to her but he controlled himself. He was liking how his relationship was progressing with Cali so he often reminded himself to take things slow. Meanwhile, Cali felt so confused with Rui''s answer and her cheeks subconsciously turned pink. Rui noticed her awkward expression so he added, "Your case is very special and I want to study it more deeply, so every detail about you is very important to me." Cali felt more confused with his answer that seemed to be out of context but then chose not to ponder more. She was just glad that she was the first patient he got to treat that way. And for some reason, she was hoping also that she would be the only patient he would treat that way ever. Cali would sneak glances at Rui and without her knowing, she suddenly hoped that her first kiss should be with a man like Rui. Her face suddenly soured, recalling the stupidity of Kane. Because of that she was not even sure she wanted to see him again but she had no choice since they would still see each other at school. "Are you alright?" Rui asked when he noticed Cali''s expressions changed. "Nothing¡­" Cali answered but Rui.could sense it so he asked, "You thought of Kane?" Cali released some air before nodding. "Just that he jeopardized our friendship and I still can''t accept that he stole my first kiss," she complained with pouty lips. ''He''s not your first kiss sweetheart¡­ It''s me¡­'' Rui wanted to voice out but instead said, "First kiss is not that important because what matters is who will be your last and forever kiss. So stop thinking about it and forget it. Think more of who could be that person¡­ to be¡­ your last and forever kiss." Cali chuckled then teased, "Wow you also know how to throw such cheesy pick up lines doc¡­" Rui wrinkled his nose and fed her another spoonsful before saying, "I get cheesy only whenever I''m around you." Cali''s face turned crimson and she suddenly felt bashful. She also inwardly scolded her crazy heart for thumping hard like that because of Rui''s words. ****** Rui first checked Cali if she was already asleep and that night he left in haste when he confirmed Cali was already asleep. He went to his car and drove at Kane''s house. He would settle everything with that bastard that instant. He pressed the doorbell of the house. The door opened and the moment Kane appeared before him, he punched him hard on his face. "Bastard! How dare you kiss my wife!!!" Rui yelled. Kane did not move and accepted all of Rui''s punches that Rui himself had to stop, seeing how Kane was only accepting all his hits. "I''m sorry¡­," he heard Kane whisper as he wiped the blood in the corner of his lips. He was already like a dead body since that night that he felt so numb that every time Rui''s hands hit him was nothing. Physical pain was nothing compared to the pain of his heart. He was too hopeless. Rui shook his head as he sat on the floor with Kane. "Killing you physically won''t do since you look like dying anyway¡­" he did not know whether to pity the man in his state. He drove there in a totally deranged state and was ready to beat him to pulp but seeing him now¡­ "I''m really sorry¡­" Kane continuously whispered, now crying. Losing Cali the second time around was the worst feeling in his life. It was too painful that he felt like it was better to die. "Kill me¡­ I want to die¡­" Kane murmured. Rui scoffed and murmured, "seriously you''re such a loser man. I know it''s hard but move on and get a life. Put yourself in my shoes¡­ Do you think your condition is much worse than mine Kane?" There was only silence and Kane''s sobbing¡­ Rui felt so awkward getting stuck with Kane like that but as a psychologist he knew he should not leave Kane in that state. He needed someone to talk to and ironically he was the only one there for him. His mind was so unstable at that point so as a psychologist he must help him. Chapter 517 - Too Comfortable Cali woke up past midnight to go to the restroom. She glanced at the clock and saw it was past three am. She was about to go back to bed when she felt her stomach grumbling. "Weird¡­" she murmured, because she suddenly craved for hot chocolate and some bread. Cali tried to sleep but couldn''t do so, and finally decided to get up to attack the kitchen. Her forehead creased seeing the lights of Rui''s bar area were put on. She walked towards it, and saw Rui sitting lonely there as he drank. "You didn''t sleep yet? What are you doing here alone?" Cali asked as she approached him. Rui saw her approaching him and smiled at her and muttered, "why are you awake? Were you waiting for me?" "Huh? Did you go somewhere?" Cali asked as she sat beside him. "And why are you drinking at this hour? Are you facing some problem? You should not drink like that at this hour." She continued with lifted eyebrows while scrutinizing the level of the remaining brandy in the bottle. He had quite a lot to drink and was looking a little tipsy as well. Rui chuckled lightly when he heard her concerned tone. A melancholic expression crossed his face. He missed Cali scolding him like this. Then he heaved a long deep sigh and said, "I went to see Kane¡­" "What?!" Cali exclaimed with a little fear in her heart. Another sigh came out from Rui''s mouth. He honestly did not want to tell Cali all this because he did not want Cali to get involved with Kane anymore but he respected the friendship between the two of them and Cali at least deserved to know Kane''s condition. "He''s emotionally unstable right now so I had to contact his family." He said because he had called Shane that instant to inform her about Kane''s state. He believed Kane shouldn''t be alone in such a condition. He had to wait for Kane''s brother to arrive who luckily was in the neighbouring country for a business deal so it only took a few hours. Cali felt her knees weakened and with trembling lips murmured, "I was too harsh on him. I told him that I can only see him as a brother and a friend, nothing more¡­" Should she at least give Kane a chance for him to be happy? But she thought things would be more prettily messed up if she would, since she couldn''t really picture herself to be romantically involved with him at all. Rui could feel Cali''s uneasiness and guilt so he held her hand and gently squeezed it saying, "It''s not your fault Cali. There are a lot of people who are emotionally unstable when they experience things like this. You did what is right. Besides, judging from my assessment, it will be worse if you gave Kane a chance of hope then turn him down later. So don''t feel bad because you were only honest to him. It''s no longer your fault that he has a weak heart and is unable to take the reality as it is." Cali felt really bad but Rui''s words helped her to be sane. She was hoping that she really did the right thing by rejecting him. "How is he now? Do you think I should see him?" She asked because was really worried about him. Rui exhaled loudly and said, "you should not see him for now. You''re the last person he wants to see at this point Cali. He would not want you to see his devastated condition at this time. We need to give him time to heal at this point. He didn''t take it well the first time and the second time was much worse¡­" "First time? What do you mean? Did I turn him down before also?" Cali asked, totally confused. Rui cursed on his carelessly blurting out anything. It was too late to retrieve his words back and he did not see anything wrong in simply telling Cali about it. He smiled and explained, "Hmm, it turned out you turned him down once before, much before you lost your memory, so he thought this time he could have a chance because you do not remember all that from before." "Oh that dummy¡­ But didn''t he already know me? Once I decide on something, then that''s final! If I turned him down earlier, then that''s it¡­"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%C2%A0_49624868014057453 for visiting. "He probably wanted to try his luck Cali. Besides there''s no harm in trying and also if I was him, even I would definitely give it a try if you''re still single and not married¡­" Rui commented. ''But you''re already married and that''s his mistake for not honoring such a sacred bond. He shouldn''t try messing up with someone who''s still legally married and bound to someone by heart, because in the eyes of the law and God¡­ it''s still wrong¡­'' Rui wanted to add. It could be a harsh thing to say but Kane got a dose of his own medicine. However, he was not hoping for him to be in that condition. He was hoping he could move on and start his life with a new light and better perspective for his own good. "Come here¡­" Rui murmured and pulled Cali for a tight hug to console her. "Whatever happens¡­ Don''t ever think that it''s your fault. You did nothing wrong. You just wanted to be honest with him and that''s a good thing. People are responsible for their own actions. He was a grown up man already cCali and he''s responsible for his own actions. Always remember that¡­ And he is not your responsibility but it doesn''t limit it for you not to care or share care for what he is going through." Cali bit her lip as she controlled her tears. She could sense with Rui''s words that Kane was indeed in bad shape. But she knew what Rui wanted her to do. "Thank you¡­" she whispered as she felt him gently stroking her back. She really loved it¡­ Being near him like this seemed not foreign to her. She was too comfortable in his arms despite the throbbing of her heart. Rui gently pushed her and asked, "By the way why are you up?" Cali bit her lip and replied, "I feel hungry and craving for milk and some bread.. " Rui stood up and pulled her to the kitchen counter to sit. "I will get it¡­" Cali whispered. "Nah, just sit there. I need to sober too so let me get it to you. I will join you by drinking coffee." Rui answered followed by a wink. Cali could feel her stomach churning¡­ Butterflies were flying inside her stomach and she suddenly realized she liked her private doctor a lot. Chapter 518 - Back Off!!! The next day, Shane called Cali early in the morning to inform her that Kane had dropped out from the culinary art classes. "Don''t worry too much about that dumbass. He just needs some time to take you out of his system. I told him earlier also not to follow you there and just help father and both brothers in the business, but that brute is too stubborn. I think his feelings for you turned into kind of an obsession, so right now he needs some help and to take a few sessions of counselling also this time, based on the result of his primary assessment. Rui already... I mean Dr. Dee has already recommended a reliable psychiatrist to help Kane. Cali please remember that no matter what happens, it''s not your fault. It''s all Kane''s fault for not understanding your situation and your feelings for him as well. I will really give him a good beating once he''s back home." Shane reassured from the other line. Cali and Shane talked a little more for a while before they said goodbyes and ended the call. "Ready to go?" Rui asked her when he came down to the living room where she was waiting for him. Cali nodded. "Are you okay?" Rui paused and questioned noticing her dropped shoulders. Cali heaved a sigh and murmured, "Everyone keeps saying it''s not my fault that Kane is in such a condition. I keep telling myself the same thing but why does my heart still feel so heavy?" It was true¡­ Last night she could barely sleep because she was too worried for Kane. He was like a big brother to her who had always been by her side. He gradually became her shield from all the bullies in the school and protected her always. He was her best friend too and he mostly remained a dear brother to her in heart. Although Rui and Shane both had confirmed to her that Kane was getting excellent treatment and was in good hands¡­ she still felt uneasy. Rui patted her head and said, "That''s only natural sweetheart because you care for Kane and love him like your own blood brother. You can check his condition through Shane from time to time, talk to him also if he''s a little more stable and he permits it. And go to see him after he''s completely over you." Cali pouted her lips and murmured, "I hope he meets a good woman to be in his life soon." Rui chuckled and said, "he''s still young and I''m sure he will meet the one for him as destined. After classes, how about we both go out and have some fun today?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!!!_49723163172457462 for visiting. Cali exhaled loudly and replied, "alright but for now let''s go or we''ll be late for school today." As usual Rui parked the car and Cali went out first and started running to her classroom. Cali looked at her wristwatch as she walked hurriedly because they were almost late already due to unexpected traffic on their way. She quickly changed into her cooking outfit in the locker room and rushed towards the classroom. "Ouch!" She cried as she bumped into a man''s back while running absentmindedly. "Sh*t!" She unconsciously burst because she had dropped her mobile phone. "Oh, I''m so sorry¡­" she apologized to the man as she picked up her phone and all it''s parts that separated from it due to the fall. The man helped her pick those up and said, "it''s okay. I guess you''re late and are in a hurry¡­" Without looking at the man, Cali chuckled and responded, "Yeah¡­ Two more minutes for the class to start." Tha man handed her the last scattered piece and Cali thanked him, bowing her head twice before saying, "I have to go¡­ Thank you again." Then she rushed towards her classroom. The man chuckled and murmured, "what a cute lady." He too then walked in the same direction behind her and luckily she was heading to the same direction as him for attending the classes as well. Rui entered the classroom just in time after quickly changing into his cooking outfit. Cali had already adjusted herself in her assigned area. Cali looked so cute in the uniform in white, with that apron and the hat, like what the chefs wore. Little did he know that he was not the only one sneaking glances at her at that time nor was he alone in thinking the same thing about her. Cali had raspberry red, almost shoulder length wavy hair that perfectly fit her sophisticated personality and adorable look. She also had an ash black eyes color that was too expressive wherever she darted her eyes anywhere and those natural red kissable lips of hers were really inviting and very enticing. Rui heaved a long sigh as he observed Cali. He already talked to Ruth and told her not to bother Cali about Kane since it was their personal matter and he was grateful Ruth fully understood without asking too much. Ruth told him that Kane apologized that night and instructed his driver to bring her back home that night. She no longer asked what happened because Kane looked devastated and like someone who you couldn''t talk to at that time. Rui sighed as he thought of some more ways to help Cali forget about Kane''s incident because he could still feel her weariness every once in a while. "We all have a new student with us joining today, and I want you all guys to welcome Edward," the professor called out the new student who introduced himself before them. Rui did not even notice him a while ago because he was too focused at monitoring Cali who sat a meter away from him. His face darkened when he followed Edward''s gaze and noticed the man was staring at Cali''s direction nonstop, as he introduced himself. ''What the heck?!'' Rui inwardly grunted because he instantly saw something alarming with the way, how that man looked at his wife. He suddenly thought if it would be okay to tell those men the truth about Cali''s condition and mention his marriage with her to them in case they would try to woo his wife. It did cross his mind before about the possibility of some men wooing his wife at school that was also why he came up with an idea of enrolling at the same class with Cali. Kane, who knew Cali was already married, still pursued his wife then what more for men like Edward who did not know Cali were already married. If he opened his mouth about it then there would be a high possibility it would reach Cali and if Cali found out about it she would definitely go haywire. ''Who wouldn''t be if she found out I''m her husband and pretending to be her private doctor?'' He mused followed by a curse, seeing that Edward often looked in Cali''s direction even though he was back in his seat. He was already throwing several daggers at the man''s direction. ''She''s my wife so back off!!!'' He wanted to yell to that man''s face but he could only do it inside his head. Chapter 519 - Skinship! The class had finally ended and Rui was supposed to go to the car first, and wait for Cali. While he was inside the car, he tried to balance his current status with Cali. He wondered if he could start leveling up a bit, like courting her and expressing to her that he liked her. "Ahhh¡­" he frustratingly cried. It was too early to move onto the next step. Besides, Cali just had a bad encounter and trauma with the incident of Kane''s confession. ''What if Cali rejects me as well?'' Rui horribly mused. He shook his head in an attempt to erase those negative thoughts. Meanwhile, Cali came out of the locker room after changing back into her casual wear. "Hi!" "Oh my heart!" She cried as her heart had almost forgotten to beat because she got too shocked by the man who suddenly appeared beside her. "You get startled too easily." The man commented with a bright smile . Cali''s eyebrows lifted up as she said, "Excuse me, do I know you?" The man chuckled and extended his hand to her for a handshake saying, "I''m Edward¡­ The new classmate. The one you bumped into this morning." Cali''s forehead creased and she scoffed, "Oh, you''re the one!" Cali apologetically smiled, and accepted his hand for a handshake. "I''m Cali, and sorry again about a while ago. I have to leave now." "See you then tomorrow, Cali¡­" Edward nodded with a smile, and he stared at her back as she went. "Cali¡­" Edward whispered while his lips curved up with a meaningful smile. He liked her, but he would take things slow this time so it would be more amusing. "You took a bit long¡­" Rui commented when Cali entered his car. "Oh yeah, I talked a bit with our new classmate Edward. I bumped into him this morning. Oh, let''s go to the mobile store first because my phone fell this morning. I need to get a new one." Cali answered. Rui''s face crumpled because it seemed that Edward was already starting his move. He just dealt with Kane and now there was another bug again. "Doc¡­" Cali snapped her fingers before his face and added, "What''s wrong? You''re spacing out." Rui smiled and started hitting on the gas while he said, "I just thought of something. Anyway, we will go and buy you a new mobile phone¡­ Rui and Cali entered the exclusive shop to buy her a new mobile phone. "So, how is he?" Rui hesitatingly asked while Cali was looking and checking for the new brands and types of new mobile phones. She turned at Rui and hummed, "Huh?" She was confused with his questions. Rui scratched his head and added, "I mean the new classmate you bumped into. How do you find him?" "Oh, you mean physically?" Cali asked, wondering why her private doctor suddenly asked that question. Rui timidly nodded. "He''s handsome." Cali answered nonchalantly. Rui noticed that as well. The new student was indeed handsome and he could also be mistaken as a celebrity. "More handsome than me?" He shamelessly asked in a jest. Cali squinted her eyes as if thinking closely then she looked at Rui with a scrutinizing look as she whispered, "You two have different vibes. How should I put it¡­ You''re like a good catch bachelor while Edward is like a matinee idol?" Then, it was followed by a loud laugh. He smiled seeing her laugh like that. Then he added, "You would rather choose a good catch bachelor right?" Cali''s face suddenly turned red and quickly changed the topic by asking, "What unit do you think I should buy? I like a metallic pink color¡­" Then Rui gave his opinion and Cali finally relaxed her throbbing heart. She would choose someone like Rui, he was her ideal man after all. And as days passed by, she was liking him more and more while knowing him deeper. She finally picked up a mobile phone and Rui took care of it. "I should be the first one in your emergency contact. Because you are my number one and only one in my emergency call list." Rui whispered as he installed his number on Cali''s phone. "Let''s see how the camera works," Rui commented and without haste pulled Cali near him with his arm on her shoulders so they could do a selfie. Skinship! He was now starting with that strategy. Cali would get familiar with his nearness and touch. And he would start giving her subtle hints of how he felt. He took a lot more photos with her. "Closer Cali! Our face won''t fit on the screen." He mumbled as he brushed his cheek with her cheek. Cali smiled at the screen and was enjoying every wacky pose that Rui was doing as he took the photos. She couldn''t help but feel amused by his facial expressions. "Send all those photos to me later, okay?" Rui reminded her as he handed Cali her new mobile phone. Then he added in a jest, "Don''t you dare erase that, so just in case you miss me¡­ You can stare at those photos and admire your good catch bachelor." Cali''s face twitched and mumbled, "So shameless!" Rui laughed as he watched her quickly grab her mobile phone from him and put it inside her bag. "Come and let''s stroll around¡­" Rui commented and suddenly held Cali''s hand, intertwining her fingers together with his. Cali raised their hands that were clasped together, and lifted her eyebrows and glanced at Rui with a questioning gaze. "This mall is so huge and it''s our first time here. We might get lost¡­ It''s better if we hold each other''s hands." He murmured knowing how lame was that excuse. "Seriously?!" Cali beamed. Didn''t this man know what he was doing to her body with the proximity? She could feel the electric jolts with just simply holding hands like that. "Do you mind? I actually feel cold now, so I wanna feel some warmth." Rui explained next. "Hey, do you think I''m that stupid?" Cali hissed. Rui scratched his head as he whispered, "Actually I have agoraphobia¡­" "What?!" Cali burst.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!_49723167987522053 for visiting. Rui gave her a puppy look as he explained, "There are certain times like this¡­ where I feel like not being safe in public places where there is a crowd so can you please bear with me if there are times that I will have to hold your hand or get near or close to you more? It''s not always like this just whenever I have an agoraphobia attack." Cali was left with her mouth agape¡­ Disbelief was written all over her face as Rui continued to explain his condition further. Chapter 520 - Craving And Asking For More Cali kept on turning left and right on her bed that night when she went to sleep and after several tosses and turns, she sat up on the bed out of frustration. "Does this mean that he would need to hold my hand whenever we are out?" She widened her eyes in shock, still in disbelief. "Wouldn''t that mean that I will have to feel those electric currents every time we go for a stroll? It''s so awkward¡­" She complained with a crumpled face. Rui tried to explain to her that it would not always be like that. Only when he would suffer from agoraphobic attacks he would behave like how it just happened a while ago. "Are there chances of occasional attacks too? Is he telling the truth or just trying to fool me?" Cali pondered. Then she sighed deeply and lifted her hands and looked at them with a weird gaze. She always had an odd feeling whenever Rui touched her. Her heart would start racing as if talking to her, she even felt uncomfortable because of her rapid heartbeats, but somehow it all felt familiar, as if she had held his hands before or was already in a habit of being wrapped in his arms, him holding her with his hands over her shoulders, and that deja vu when he carried her. Cali slumped herself back on the bed. It was not an issue if he wanted to hold her hands. He could hold her hands since he had some kind of disorder and she was simply helping him out, but she was afraid of herself, her own feelings, as she knew she felt a force drawing her to him whenever he was around. She stared at the ceiling for a long time thinking all kinds of things and trying to figure out what she had a problem with and finally succ.u.mbed into a deep slumber. Cali was awakened by the warmth of soft kisses on her neck. She giggled because it tickled. She could feel him licking and sucking on her neck and soon his lip ran through her chin and landed on her lips. He started kissing her lower and upper lips and soon entered her mouth and deepened the kiss. He was kissing her in such an intoxicating way that she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck for more. She m.o.a.ned with pleasure and kissed him back with the same passion and intensity as if her body was yearning and longing for him from eons. She let out a loud m.o.a.n as his hands ran through her curves and paused on the sensitive parts of her upper body. His every touch gave her an inkling to arch her body and left her asking for more. It felt so good that she did not want him to stop touching and caressing her. She asked for more with her misty eyes and he obliged¡­ He left her lips and his kisses trailed down towards the hem of her shoulders, and then down to her chest. Cali bit her lip, with eyes still closed, she arched her body, asking for more. And he did not disappoint her when she felt his tongue swirling before it sucked her n.i.p.p.l.es. "Ahh¡­" She m.o.a.ned as she felt immense pleasure by his actions. While his mouth was too busy giving her tremendous pleasure on her b.r.e.a.s.ts and n.i.p.p.l.es, his other hand was exploring her lower body. She groaned as she felt him rubbing her sensitive spot teasingly, trailing the line of her vertical lips while exploring her wetness. She could no longer keep up with the heat building up inside her body as she arched her lower body for him. She felt his thumb rubbing her clit and fingers inside of her waiting alley, thrusting deeply in and out, making her squirm. She hummed a protest when it suddenly stopped. But m.o.a.ned again when his kisses went down. Her body seemed to be familiar with each of his kisses and it was reacting on its own¡­ Craving and asking for more... Soon, she felt him in between her thighs. He was giving her another wave of pleasure and she couldn''t help but only m.o.a.n helplessly. She felt him positioning himself between her legs and Cali felt a sharp pain with his sudden thrust. He was claiming her and she was willing to give everything to him. She wrapped her legs on his waist despite the pain, and soon she only felt immense pleasure with her union with him. Tears flowed like a river from her eyes as they made love and reached the highest climax of their union. He was holding her tightly in his arm as he whispered his sweet words of love continuously. "I feel like I can conquer the world. Thank you for giving me strength. I''m no longer scared because you will be my strength." Cali whispered with a smile feeling his tight embrace on hers. "Yes, I will remain by your side always, to be your strength for our lifetime, Cali. I love you Cali Lua, I love you so-so much sweetheart¡­" she heard him whisper before he sealed her lips once again. ''Oh God¡­ Please help me for I never want to forget him¡­'' she prayed as she cried relentlessly. Cali opened her eyes. She touched her wet cheeks covered with tears. She was still crying and sobbing. She sat on the bed abruptly and tried to calm down her erratic breathing. It was only just a dream but somehow it all felt so real as if something like that happened with her in reality before. Her tears were real as well. She was still crying. Cali relaxed herself and looked at the clock. It was just four in the morning. After composing herself, she realized how intimate she was in her dream with that man. She felt a little disappointed as she could not even recall seeing his face but the man called her sweetheart very lovingly. ''How come he had the same voice as him?'' She mused referring to her private doctor she had a crush on! Then her face turned crimson because of embarrassment. She could not believe that she dreamt about making love to a man so passionately and full of emotion when she had never been with a man all her life. She gently patted her cheeks to wake herself up. It was too embarrassing that she was starting to imagine things like that and even worse that her private doctor was the first man that came into her mind. "Maybe because Doc also calls me sweetheart." She whispered as she once again laid on the bed to sleep some more. Then, she again pondered about that dream. She recalled that she felt wonderful making love to the man and she suddenly thought that love making could probably be that wonderful. Again, her cheeks had shades of red and Cali felt so embarrassed of herself. Obviously she liked it¡­ that feeling in her dream¡­ she somewhat began to anticipate if she could get to experience such a wonderful lovemaking session in her life . "I don''t even have a boyfriend so how dare of me to dream things like that. Oh gosh!" She burst as she buried her face into her pillow. Chapter 521 - A Professor The next morning Cali could not even dare to look Rui straight in the eye after that passionate and intimate dream with the man whose voice was like his. Though she did not even know who the man was but for some reason she felt shy and was almost blushing when she saw her handsome doctor bringing breakfast for her on the table. She was so quiet during breakfast that Rui started suspecting that something was wrong. He felt it strange, when Cali was quiet all throughout the way to school and even didn''t look into his eyes even once since morning. When they arrived at the school, she quickly picked her bag up and opened the door to her side. "I''ll go first." Cali whispered but Rui held her arm and stopped her from going out of the car. Cali''s nerves suddenly jolted by his touch and she silently wished she could run away from him as soon as possible. "Wait. Are you alright?" He asked. Cali gave him a half smile and said, "Yeah I''m good." Rui was doubtful by the way she answered but nodded. Cali already left to go inside the building while he still remained seated inside the car. Yesterday, he seemed to successfully convince Cali about him having a disorder and getting uncomfortable around a crowd. But what bothered him now was how he would possibly fence Cali from those boys lingering around her, buzzing around her like bees, that Edward for example. He was thinking of ways how he and Cali could be considered in a relationship by other people without her getting pissed off. "Maybe I should tell her that dad wants to set me up for an arranged marriage but I don''t want to get married right now, then I''ll ask Cali for help and ask her to pretend as my girlfriend." He whispered but dropped his shoulders because it was unnecessary to pretend inside the school when he had no family inside. He needed Cali and himself to be known as a couple at school so it could prevent possible suitors from approaching his wife. "Maybe I should call Xander later, and ask for his helpr." Rui mumbled as he finally got out of the car. When it came to cunningness and ways to get around women, Xander was actually more of an expert than him, especially in coaxing. He had just entered their room for a new subject about studies of different plants, herbs and more when he saw Edward already sitting beside Cali. He was all smiles as he enthusiastically talked to his wife! The mere sight made Rui''s eyes bleed. With an annoyed expression on his face, Rui went and sat behind Cali. "Cali, can I borrow a pen?" Rui bent forward and asked, intentionally disrupting their conversation. Cali turned to him and introduced Edward to him. "You two know each other?" Edward asked. "Yeah, she lives with me." Rui answered straightforwardly, making Cali narrow her eyes at him. Cali flashed a timid smile at Edward while she explained, "He''s a family friend and my grandpa happens to trust him so much that wanted me to stay in his house instead of mine. You see, I also have a medical condition and he just happens to be my private doctor as well." ''I thought she wanted to keep that detail about her condition and me being her doctor a secret!'' Rui inwardly complained and mused with collided eyebrows. He could not believe what he was hearing and also what he was seeing, Cali was smiling widely at that man! It was an extremely annoying scene for him! He could sense that Edward was good with communication. He seemed to be a very approachable man and that Cali instantly got comfortable with him. Rui''s face was worthy of being made into a painting as he was so focused, and all ears about what the two in front of him were talking about. He would occasionally interrupt the conversation whenever he had the opportunity. He looked at his wristwatch and cursed the professor of this subject for being late to the class and giving Cali and Edward this opportunity. Instead of paying attention to the lecture these two were engaged in talking about various other things. ''This isn''t going to be good!'' Rui mused, annoyed. He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw a woman enter the room who he presumed to be the professor. His eyes rounded as he blinked several times, checking his vision looking at the woman who was headed towards her table and seat near the screen. "Candice?" He murmured, his face pale. Edward heard him and so he turned back to look at him and asked, "You know her doc?" "Call me Rui! Only Cali is allowed to call me by that name!" Rui grunted. Edward scratched his head, a little confused and murmured, "but I heard Ruth calling you doc as well." Rui''s eyebrows raised and said, "only females can address me like that! Call me Rui." Cali chuckled, enjoying the grumpy mood of her private doctor. It seemed like he was not fond of Edward. She wondered why though, because Edward seemed to be nice. "Good morning. Wow! I have a small group here. Good thing, cause this means I can easily remember your names. By the way I''m professor Candice Yao and I will handle this particular subject about the plants we can all use for cooking and the benefits of each and whether some of them could also be harmful to the human body. Cooking is a very important skill and using proper and beneficial ingredients will make it even better." Rui looked at Candice, flabbergasted. Last time he recalled Candice, was as a strip dancer at a club in Country V then she turned out to be a pediatrician at country D and now a professor here at country A? ''Seriously?! What are you up to now, woman?!'' Rui silently wondered. Their eyes met and Rui gulped at that familiar mischievous smile of her. She obviously recognized him and Cali. He only hoped Candice would not bully him this time around. Cali frowned when she noticed how the new professor and Rui were exchanging glances. She also heard Rui mention her name so she assumed that the two knew each other. The woman was extremely beautiful and Cali knew that every male inside the room was obviously drooling over her except for Edward and Rui. ''But they are exchanging glances!'' Cali silently complained pertaining to Rui. She suddenly felt irritated and annoyed. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 522 - A Ray Of Light As soon as the class ended, Rui handed Cali the car keys and said, "You go and wait for me in the car. I will just say hi to a friend." Cali''s face crunched because she was aware that Rui was referring to their so-called ''hot'' professor, hot as she heard from her male classmates. They were right because Professor Candice was indeed someone worth drooling over, an exquisite beauty with her long, straight, shining, ash brown hair. She had long perfectly curved lashes covering her expressive sharp eyes that gave her an alluring look. Not to mention her perfect height and s.e.xy body that looked more voluptuous in her body hugging casual attire. To put it straight she was a goddess and for any man to not get attracted towards her would simply be a miracle. Cali felt annoyed when she found herself admiring her looks and she unknowingly grunted, "You should at least introduce me also to your friend!" Rui was caught off guard with that request and before he could answer¡­ He felt a hand clasping his shoulder and immediately after, he heard that euphonious voice that could make anyone''s heart race! "Mr. Meddler¡­ It''s been quite a while! Long time no see huh?" He heard Candice''s playful, mellow voice in her distinct style of talking. Rui forced a smile and uttered, "Good to see you again." "Oh you''re with¡­" Rui quickly interrupted and said, "Yeah, Cali... my patient¡­ You see she had a major brain surgery the second time just a few months ago and lost most of her memories from past few years, she particularly forgot her days when she returned to country D. Her case is very sensitive and every time she tries to recall something she ends up in a severe headache. So her grandfather has hired me to be with her all the time and take care of her. So I am here as her private doctor taking care of her in every way possible and I had even proposed that Cali stay with me in my house instead of a hostel or her own separate accommodation." "That is one hell of an introduction, Dr. Meddler. I was actually expecting that you will just mention her name and introduce her to me." Candice responded with an amused chuckle. Her nonchalant way of speaking made her look exceptionally outstanding, and Cali wondered what was the relation between her doc and the professor! Rui tried to summarize everything about Cali''s condition so Candice would not make any mistake in mentioning to Cali anything about her forgotten memories. She leaned at Rui and whispered, "I asked the Doctor CEO about you, and he told me everything that happened, so don''t worry¡­ I''m pretty aware of what''s going on." Cali who was observing what was happening felt so annoyed seeing them both so close to each other, even having some secret talk right in front of her! What irritated her more was the fact that Rui was trying very hard to explain his situation and set up with her, as if trying to make things clear that they were just a patient and doctor and nothing else was going on between them... She could not help but scold him in her heart, ''you''re talking too much.'' The two of them seemed to be in their own world, so Cali coughed to remind them of her presence then extended her hand and tried to be polite, "hello Professor. Nice meeting you." "Oh, sweetie. I''m glad to see you¡­ I mean meet you again." Candice commented with her beautiful smile, Cali had to blink her eyes not to get mesmerized by it. ''Sh*t!'' She inwardly cursed because she suddenly felt insecure. She knew she was equally beautiful, but for some reason that professor had a very different aura, her every movement was a killer and her voice was magnetic as well. The woman infact seemed to be oozing with s.e.x appeal that caught even her eyes and was enough to capture her soul if left unguarded. How much more with the eyes of men?? "We should grab some coffee like old times Mr. Meddler!! I will call you..." Candice casually commented with her eyes closely observing Cali''s expression. Then she added, "You can bring Cali along of course. By the way just call me Candice whenever we are out of the classroom." Cali only nodded. She wanted to pull Rui away and take him out of that vacant room immediately and go home and lock him in there¡­ away from that Candice. ''She is even so touchy with him!'' Cali silently cried as she watched Candice touch Rui''s arm while talking to him. "I will make a move first," Cali whispered because she could no longer tolerate what she was witnessing. Rui grabbed her hand and said, "Let''s go together." Cali was startled but did not comment when Rui held her hand as they walked together. Candice nodded and had that playful grin on her face, as she watched the back of the couple leaving. "I guess I''m gonna have fun again while completing my task¡­" Candice murmured while she grabbed her things to go and start working. Meanwhile, Cali was too quiet in the car and it bothered Rui a lot, but he dared not ask her what was wrong. He even felt insecure with the way Cali behaved with Edward in the classroom. Cali was so upset with everything that she wanted to calm down before saying anything but when she couldn''t contain herself she sighed heavily before turning towards him and bursting at Rui out of nowhere, "Did you really have to disclose our set-up to her?!" "I should ask the same question to you regarding Edward. Did you really have to disclose it to him as well? I thought you wanted to keep from everyone at school? But after you told everything to him I thought it''s okay now to tell other people also about it since you did it first." Rui casually pointed out. Rui had a reason for explaining everything to Candice, as he was worried that Candice might spill out something in front of Cali. He was not aware that Xander told her everything but he was grateful that she was aware so she could be more careful in front of Cali now. Then suddenly a ray of light flashed in his head. Candice! Oh he could ask Candice for help later! Chapter 523 - The Bait When Cali heard Rui''s reason for disclosing everything to Candice, she was left speechless and as she had nothing to retort she had to be quiet again because Rui was right. She was the first one to disclose it to Edward. She sighed and wondered to herself why she did that. "Since how long do you know her?" Cali asked out of curiosity. "Not too long. More or less a year or something. She was actually a pediatrician at Yang Globals hospital. So we were colleagues also." Rui explained. "Why does she call you Dr. Meddler?" Rui chuckled at that question as he recalled those series of awkward and funny times with Candice. But then it was a long story. He would not dare tell Cali that at some point he got scared of Candice Yao because the woman truly had an exceptional and scary air to her. "Why are you laughing? Is there even something funny in what I asked, huh?" Cali chided. She hated it thinking that Rui was thinking about his happy moments with the woman, that was why he was given such a nickname by her! "Nevermind! I''m no longer interested in finding out how you were a meddler to her." "Okay." Rui plainly answered with a silent sigh of relief. Cali could not help it because she was still itching to ask for more and find out the kind of relationship they shared. "Is she still single?" She asked in a little low voice next, stuttering a bit because of hesitation. "Yeah.." Rui simply answered, trying hard to hide that amused grin on his face. He could only interpret one thing when Cali asked more details about Candice, and that was definitely something good for him. And he was anticipating to hear more of Cali''s curiosity. "So you two are close?" Cali asked. "Yeah you could say so. We both used to bicker a lot before and banter with each other often as well. There came a point that I thought I''m interested in her. To be honest, Candice is a very mysterious woman. She is someone hard to decipher and one who will definitely do something crazy suddenly." Rui sincerely responded. If Cali did not come into his life, he probably would end up chasing Candice but then Cali came knocked in his life and his heart also fell for her unexpectedly. "Bicker?!" Cali questioned and Rui nodded. He surely described the woman with great intense admiration! Cali could no longer help it as her nostrils started flaring. Her face could not be painted and was too crumpled. She was glad Rui was driving and could not see it. Never had she felt so alarmed for any woman around him. Even Ruth''s presence was not as alarming to her as this hot, s.e.xy and mysterious professor Candice was! "Yes, you see, Candice has always followed me around before telling me that she likes me a lot." Rui shamelessly lied as a sudden brilliant idea came into his mind. "What?!" Cali, turning at him, yelled. Rui chuckled and proudly said, "why? You don''t believe me? Am I not that handsome? You heard her yourself¡­ She wants to go out with me. You see, earlier too¡­ She always used to ask me out, give me gifts and so on. She''s so into me during that time. I''m not sure though if it''s the same case even now since we''ve not seen each other for too long after she left the country. But as you have seen, Candice is like a mushroom. She will just appear anywhere, out of nowhere, without warning, just like now." "Are you telling me now that you will go out with her and entertain her in case she still likes you?" Cali was horrified with that idea and she couldn''t help but interrogate Rui in a little sharp tone. Cali could feel the throbbing of her heart after she spoke as she suddenly felt scared of Rui''s answer. "Candice has the tendency to be clingy. If she finds out that I''m still not taken even at this time then she will surely pursue me again. I''m actually flattered when such a beauty pursues me, but unfortunately she''s not my type... so I will need a girlfriend or better a fiance if she somehow tries to follow me around again. I have a different taste when it comes to women..." Rui explained, hoping Cali would take the bait. He was also happy Candice was not able to hear all this he spoke else she would definitely not leave him alive. "My problem now is that I don''t have a woman in my life right now¡­ So¡­ I guess like before I will need someone beside me to shoo her away." Rui added. "You mean the last time you got rid of her by having someone like a girlfriend?!" Rui nodded then replied, "I had a fiance at that time and she was really protective and possessive about me, Candice got scared of her and finally left following me¡­" "Fiance? You have a fiance? Where is she now and what happened to your fiance later?" Cali asked and was reminded of the fact that Rui once mentioned he had a special someone in his heart and he was probably pertaining to his fiance. She really felt uncomfortable talking all those things to him and she was surprised to learn that there were small needles pricking her heart right at that moment thinking about that fiance of her doc. ''Why am I hurting?'' Cali confusedly asked herself. She didn''t like what she was feeling. "It''s a personal matter Cali and I''m not comfortable talking about her. All I can say is that I don''t know why but she¡­ forgot me¡­" ''She lost her memory and forgot all about me and our love¡­ even our marriage¡­'' Rui wanted to add but it would only complicate things. He could not even mention he had a wife because that fact would suppress Cali from having feelings towards him thinking he was already married to someone else. Chapter 524 - What Do I Get In Return Rui deeply sighed and uttered, "I guess I have to ask someone for help this time. Maybe Ruth can help me with this matter and pretend to be my girlfriend in front of Candice so she will not disturb me." Cali turned at Rui in disbelief. "Seriously? Ruth?! Are you kidding me? That woman is too clingy! You''re so scared of Candice but not her? Ruth is much more scary than Candice!" Cali chided. She could not believe Rui even considered that idea and did not even think of her once! "I can''t think of anyone else who will agree. Trust me¡­ You have never witnessed Candice make her move on me yet, but once you happen to see it¡­ Well you will say she''s scarier than Ruth." Rui informed her because that was true. Candice used to tease him a lot when she was in Yang globals that left him breathless every time she played with him, and all that was when he had not met Cali yet. "Fine! Tell Candice that I''m your fiance and I really don''t mind helping you for flicking away that lady bug. Just as long as we will just pretend in front of her but not in the whole campus. I don''t want a lie spreading in the entire school for those who know me so we can just pretend in front of Candice and tell her that it''s a secret since we prefer our privacy at school." ''But I want the whole school to know particularly that Edward!'' Rui irritably mused. "But we can make it real, not just a lie¡­" Rui uttered, almost in a whisper. "What?" Cali asked because she did not hear it properly. Rui was murmuring like a bee! Rui heaved a long sigh and said, "Okay. Thank you for helping me out on this. I really appreciate it." He would readily accept Cali''s conditions since it was better than having nothing. Now his only problem remained was how he should convince Candice to help him in all this later, without getting killed! After dinner, Rui was very restless thinking about some way to make Candice agree to his demands. He then called Xander and asked for Candice''s number. "Why is she here anyway?" He asked Xander at another line, out of curiosity. "You know that woman¡­ She''s a busy bee with a lot of things to do all over the world. Be careful and don''t irritate her¡­" Xander warned followed by a chuckle from the other line because he was aware Rui was so scared of Candice. Rui dropped his shoulders and told Xander his dilemma. "Hahahahaha. You''re so doomed man!" He almost became deaf with Xander''s loud laughter on another line. His face darkened hearing the mocking of Xander. "Seriously¡­ To ask Candice for a favor is like waiting for your death sentence. But she owes you so maybe she will spare you this time. But make sure to talk to her in person because she hates dealing with anything on the phone. Do it now or else you''ll dig your own grave tomorrow as soon as she found out what you put her into. I can''t imagine how you told Cali that she used to follow you around, when in fact Candice was following me around at that time and you used to follow her because you were curious about her and just didn''t trust her a single minute. I''m telling you, Candice will not like it if you put her on the spot man. It will backfire on you big time¡­" Xander pointed out, still laughing his heart out on Rui''s sticky condition. The call soon ended and Rui contacted Candice. He first checked if Cali was already asleep before he went out and met Candice at the place she gave. "Hmm, I guess you need something from me for you not to wait until tomorrow and ask to meet now?" Candice commented as she playfully sucked on her spoon while eating ice cream. "Ice cream at this hour?!" Rui looked at her in a surprised state and asked the waiter for a coffee for himself. "Yeah, eating sweets is life for me. Let''s get down to business before your dear wife wakes up and looks for you in the middle of the night." Candice mumbled. Rui raised his eyebrows seeing how careless she behaved and explained everything to Candice. He wondered if the woman was even listening to him because she was too busy eating her ice cream while he narrated everything he said to Cali and how he wanted her cooperation in coaxing his wife. After his narration, there was only silence for a long time... and finally Candice finished her ice cream in the cup and her attention diverted to him. "Ahh, it''s good and refreshing¡­" she commented, licking her lips. Rui shook his head and complained, "are you even listening to me Candice?" Candice picked up her spoon and licked it playfully in front of him while she hummed, "what do I get in return if I help you Mr. Meddler? How about pleasing me a little? Let''s settle on... a one night stand?" she winked at him as she finished her sentence. Candice broke out in a playful smile seeing how Rui''s face reddened with annoyance and embarrassment. Then she added, "I always wondered if men deeply in love with a woman can really keep their loyalty towards one woman. I remember, back there in Yang Globals, when Dr. CEO was my target, you always gulped and used to get out of breath whenever I teased you¡­ Didn''t you like me really back then Dr. Meddler? I guess you have changed now, rather you have changed ever since Cali came into your life... a few men like you, it seems, are really loyal when they find the love of their life. Look at how yourself, all red right now of embarrassment. You even look annoyed by my proposal¡­ don''t you darling Meddler?" Chapter 525 - In Great Denial Candice laughed out hard before asking the server for water. She was amused to watch Rui''s tangled expression. He was obviously trying to evade the possibility of offending her or else he would end up in a great disadvantage. She then drank the glass of water and got into a little serious mode of hers, but still said with a tone of evident tease, "Since I owe you one for saving me back then, I will help you out this one time. But everything will go according to my wish and how I want it to be. So, just dance to my rhythm... Dr. Meddler." She had a lopsided grin plastered over her face as she waited for his answer. "Do I even have a choice?" Rui replied wryly and shook his head. Then he suddenly asked, "By the way, since when did you become a Professor?" Candice chuckled and said, "Since yesterday, Doc. Ask one more question and you are not going to like my answer. Go home now. Cali is alone¡­ Better watch out for her more carefully¡­" "I know. Thank you for this¡­" Rui murmured. Candice chuckled and said, "Thank me later if you succeed in your aim. I will not stay very long here but I will try my best to help you get back your wife while I''m here¡­ Go already before I change my mind." Rui stood up and quickly left the instant he heard that because he knew Candice would always do as she said. "Will it not compromise the job?" A man who came and sat down in front of her commented. "Nah, it will be in fact a little more enjoyable now, while completing my job, it''s actually fun to tease Rui''s woman¡­ a possessive brat ever since," she replied with an evil smile. Meanwhile, Rui went back to his house and was startled to hear Cali''s scrutinizing voice, "Where had you been?!" "Oh, you startled me! Why are you awake at this hour?" He asked while walking towards her. She was frowning and looked completely pissed off. "I couldn''t sleep, but where had you been? Why didn''t you tell me you would go out?" She complained with a crumpled face. She was not pleased to be left alone like that without him telling her. Rui gave her his usual roguish smile as he said, "Come here and I will make you a glass of hot milk. I had just gone outside to buy something. I thought you''re already asleep, so I did not wake you up just to tell you I was going out to buy something." Cali followed Rui quietly. Yes, she was on the bed, but she was wide awake. She tried hard to sleep but could not. The idea of pretending to be Rui''s fiance was making her uneasy. She was suddenly regretting why she offered herself like that. She felt like she would be in great trouble in getting involved with his dilemma. She sat at the kitchen counter and watched Rui preparing a hot milk for her. "Why can''t you sleep?" Rui asked as he placed the cup of hot milk on her table. Cali heaved a long sigh and wondered if she should tell Rui her hesitation about them pretending or not. "I''m not sure¡­ I mean, I''m not comfortable pretending to be your girlfriend." Cali muttered with her head down. Rui smiled and patted her head. "That''s okay, sweetheart. You don''t have to if you don''t want to do it. Besides, I think I can handle Candice well enough. Is that why you''re still awake? Go finish your milk now and clear your thoughts so you can sleep. Don''t think about it¡­" Rui said. He had expected it already, but if his assessments were right, Cali would naturally do it once Candice started executing her moves. He could tell that Candice''s mere presence was bothering Cali, and his dear wife was becoming possessive over him without even realizing it. Rui observed her carefully as she finished drinking her milk. But then there''s some milk left on her lips. He was drooling to kiss her and wipe the milk on her lips with his own, but all he could do was to just imagine doing it relentlessly. Cali seemed to be immersed in a deep thought to even bother about how clumsily she drank her milk. He heaved a long sigh and soon raised his hand and wiped the milk on her lips with his thumb. Cali''s face reddened. What Rui did, brought her back to reality... She quickly grabbed some tissue and wiped her lips. She felt embarrassed as It was already the second time now Rui did that. For her it was an intimate gesture, and she felt very uncomfortable. "Stop doing that. I told you to tell me next time and I''ll do it." Cali chided. Rui chuckled and said, "Sorry, I can''t help it. It''s my reflex, and it''s quick to do what''s necessary. Why are you red? It''s like wiping a child''s lips when milk is spilled¡­" "Excuse me! Am I a child?" Cali countered with a creased face. Rui ignored her tantrums and said instead, "Go back to your room now and sleep. Don''t overthink things. And about Candice it''s really okay¡­" "Are you going to ask Ruth for help?" Cali suddenly grunted. Rui shook his head saying, "No, I won''t do that so don''t worry. I''ll think of other ways¡­" Cali walked back to her room, feeling more unsettled. She heaved a long sigh¡­ After a careful thought, she realized that pretending to be Rui''s girlfriend would be like a torture to her because she was feeling something weird whenever he was close to her. She did not want to entertain those feelings because she wanted to focus on her studies, and besides, she never considered being in a romantic relationship with her private doctor because it felt strange to her somehow. For now, she would observe and try to assess if she''s able to manage not to meddle in Rui''s affair with Candice. Hopefully she would. Rui poured some wine into his glass and sat in the bar. At this point, Cali had conflicted feelings towards him and she was in great denial, but he could feel that she liked him or would it be too fast to assume that if she was falling for him. He smiled because he knew it very well that he was on the right track and hopefully, Candice''s arrival would trigger Cali''s feeling for him. It was easy for him to assess people, but somehow for Cali, he was doubtful. He did not want to assume anything, rather he would like to hear the words from Cali. Chapter 526 - Over My Dead Body The next morning, Cali and Rui got up to start their usual routine and prepared to go to school. Cali wondered what was installed for them that day. They would surely meet Candice every day in the college since it was one of the major subjects in the culinary arts. "Cali, let''s go inside together today. I don''t think it''s still required for you to leave first." Rui said when Cali was about to go out of the car. "Okay," Cali readily agreed. Rui was right because almost everyone in their class already knew about their set-up as a family friend and their patient-doctor relationship as well. They encountered Candice in the second lecture of the day. She commended Candice in her heart and praised her as one of the best professors she ever had as she did not even yawn once throughout the lecture and easily grasped everything she taught. She had a lively class where she let every student actively participate in telling their inputs and perspectives. "So you see, herbs are really important, but then again there are plants that can also bring discomfort and cause allergies to some customers. It''s highly important that you familiarize yourself with them." Candice explained with a wink. Cali''s face crumpled because Candice''s eyes were directed towards Rui when she winked. ''What the heck? Is she flirting with my doctor in the open like that? Seriously? That shameless woman!'' she silently snarled. Though she was enjoying Candice''s class, Cali still relaxed and sighed with relief as soon as her class ended because she could no longer witness the woman''s shameless flirting with her Doc, but to her horror¡­ When she and Rui were about to get out of the room. The shameless woman suddenly chimed, "Mr. Dee, stay¡­ I have something to discuss with you." Cali and Rui''s eyes met. Rui looked like someone who was trapped and asking for help with those begging eyes. "I''ll go first¡­" Cali whispered and she went out. Rui silently watched her leave the room. "Don''t you dare follow her? Let her realize what her heart truly feels." Rui heard Candice order him as she comfortably sat on her chair and opened a lollipop. Rui''s face cringed as he mumbled, "Stop eating so many sweets. You should watch out your sugar intake." Candice chuckled and said, "Are you somehow worried about me now?" Rui shook his head and got up to walk out, but Candice stopped him and said, "Don''t go yet and sit in front of me. Wait for five minutes more, you impatient lover-boy¡­" Rui dropped his shoulders and complained, "Can''t you just call me by my name? Why are you giving me another nickname?" "Shhh¡­" Candice mumbled as she stood up and approached Rui with a wicked grin on her beautiful face. "What are you doing?" Rui asked as he started to get uncomfortable. Candice was too close, and she even leaned closer. "Relax lover boy, and let''s stay like this for ten seconds. Ten... nine... eight... seven¡­" Candice whispered in his ear as she started the countdown as if waiting for something to happen. "Two¡­ One¡­" "Rui!" Cali''s voice resounded in the empty classroom calling out for him. She stood at the open door of the room with her bloodthirsty gaze that made Rui jump on his feet. "See¡­" Candice whispered, followed by a flick of her finger on Rui''s nose. Candice then straightened her body and turned around. Cali walked in the room and was standing only a meter away from them now. "Oh Cali dear. Don''t you have to attend your next class?" Candice asked with her sweetest tone. Rui looked at the annoyed face of Cali and could not help but admire how Candice''s movements were so precise and so was the timing. Cali was frowning and she looked agitated. "Me and Rui both need to attend our next class." Cali reiterated. Candice''s eyebrows raised as she mumbled, "But Rui and I are still having fun. You go ahead. Rui will follow soon." "No! I''m picking up my boyfriend right away!" Cali asserted. Rui was trying his best not to grin while watching Cali fight over him with Candice. It was so amusing to see and witness Cali''s possessive reaction. "Darling¡­ Do you already have a girlfriend? But Dr. CEO told me you''re still single?" Candice turned to Rui and questioned in a demanding tone. Ignoring Candice, Cali walked up to him and immediately grabbed Rui''s hand and pulled him up from his chair. "Let''s go¡­" Cali stated. "Alright, darling you can go for now. As long as you''re not married¡­ I will still have a chance to steal you from your girlfriend." Cali heard Candice candidly announce her evil intentions. She looked at Candice with her narrowed sharp eyes as she said, "Go over my dead body first before I let you do that!" Candice laughed scornfully and said, "Sweetie, you are cute but what can you do? You better watch out¡­ Because I always get what I want and if I want Rui¡­" "Well this time you will fail," Cali chided as she immediately pulled Rui out of the room holding his hand tightly. Outside, Cali still held Rui''s hand as she scolded, "What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you not leave the room the instant she started seducing you!" "She was not seducing me but simply talking to me, Cali, and asking me to go out whenever I could be free since she was getting bored staying alone in this country." Rui lied. He was rejoicing inside and was very grateful to Candice''s effective tactics. As he expected, Cali was hugely bothered by Candice attempting to gain his attention. "From now on, you just stay by my side whenever we attend her class. If she needs anything from you, I must always be present there!" Cali instructed in an annoyed voice. She didn''t leave for the next class a while ago and kept waiting outside near the door of the room. A couple of minutes passed and Rui was still not going out so she felt worried. Her fertile mind even imagined a lot of inappropriate scenes happening inside the room for Candice trying to seduce Rui, so she decided to suddenly barge in. That Candice was a hustler! If she was late by even a few seconds she might have ended up witnessing a kissing scene between them! And just the thought of anyone else kissing him was enough for making her blood boil in anger and frustration. Rui smiled because Cali was still holding his hand tightly while they walked towards the room of their next lecture. "I told you Candice is a very persistent woman¡­ You have to cage me well Cali or else she would destroy everything and use any means she can to get me." Rui encouraged her with a bright smile. Chapter 527 - See My Heart Rui no longer asked Cali if she really would continue to pretend to be his girlfriend. He would only observe Cali''s every movement and how she would interrupt Candice in seducing him. His forehead creased when he saw Edward whispering something in Cali''s ear. He hated this class in which the professor gave them designated seats and Cali was assigned to sit beside Edward. ''What are they talking about?'' Rui irritably mused. He was itching to throw something on Edward''s back to interrupt the two of them from whispering in each other''s ears. Rui noticed that Cali and Edward got along very well probably because they were of the same age, this bothered him a lot and he prayed for the class to end soon. "Finally," he whispered, hearing the professor end the class. "Cali, let''s go play bowling? You said it''s been a while since you last played sports¡­ Let''s go to the mall near the university. I heard they had a great bowling center, we can enjoy or how about some funny gaming machines inside the mall''s game zone! Cali''s eyes rounded in excitement as she replied, "Yeah! I would love to. It''s still early¡­" "Wait¡­ I will also come along, I have to accompany Cali." Rui interrupted. Edward''s eyebrows raised and with a grin, he said, "Why? Cali will be fine and she''s with me. Goodness doc, can''t you at least let her have some fun? I''m sure staying at school, then at home, and following the same routine all over again, with the same person everyday is boring. Besides, aren''t you two tired of seeing only each other always? Let Cali have some fun with me. And why am I even explaining to you?" Rui''s ears flapped in rage hearing those words from Edward who looked at Cali and instigated, "Can''t you at least decide for yourself, Cali? I mean, this is just a simple matter of going out to have fun with a friend? It''s not like we are doing extreme things that can trigger your condition or anything such." Cali heaved a sigh because Edward had a point. Rui was overreacting and too overprotective. She looked at Rui and said, "I am going with Edward. You go home first and I will see you later at home." Then Cali turned towards Edward and said, "Let''s go." Rui stood rooted at his place, frozen like a statue, while his eyes followed Cali''s back leaving with Edward. He wanted to grab Cali and pull her with him, but he knew he must not, he must give her space. Edward pointed it out to Cali in such a way that he did not dare counter it. He did not want Cali to feel suffocated under his watch. "Hello, Rui! You''re still here? I thought you already left with Cali," Ruth, who passed by him, commented. "She went to the bowling center with Edward and they will also play the machine games." Rui out of himself murmured. "Wow! That sounds fun! I know that place! It''s just near the university. Oh, those two¡­ How dare they not bring us along! Come let''s go there too and have some fun!" Ruth chortled and pulled Rui with her to head in the same direction as Cali and Edward. Rui was so grateful for Ruth''s presence that his face brightened. Now he had a good alibi for following Cali and Edward because of Ruth, who just saved him from bursting in rage. He let Ruth pull him to the bowling center. "There they are!" Ruth exclaimed when her eyes saw Edward and Cali. "Let''s join them. It''s more fun playing in a group¡­" Ruth innocently commented. Rui gave her a smile and nodded. "Hey Guys!" Ruth greeted the two who were about to start playing. "You two¡­ How come you did not bring us? I pulled Rui here, knowing you two are coming here. Do you mind if we tag along and play together?!" Ruth shamelessly asked, and Rui was even more grateful. He remained quiet and let Ruth do the talking since she was an expert in it. He saw Edward scratch his head and obviously he was annoyed with their interruption. Rui smirked seeing his frustrated look. Cali, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy Ruth''s presence and the two women mingled and started playing excitedly. Rui stood up when he saw Edward approaching Cali. He assisted Cali and taught her how to play since Cali did not try playing the sports yet. His heart was aching seeing Cali smiling widely at Edward. Rui started questioning himself if he was too possessive to want her beautiful smiles given only to him? He wanted to interrupt, but he saw how Cali was enjoying the game while Edward assisted her. Soon it was Ruth''s turn, and she pulled Rui saying, "Help me, please. I''m not good at this. I only tried playing it once and I can''t even play one properly." Rui stood up and walked with Ruth to help her at the bowling alley. He did not intentionally get closer with Ruth, but he had to a little...to teach her the proper stance. He focussed his mind in helping Ruth out because he did not want to overthink how Cali was smiling to another man. Little did he know that Cali never left glaring at him. Her nose was already flaring, but Cali tried to compose herself and not show her anger on her face. "It seems you are not enjoying it. If you want we can go now and play the gaming machines instead!" Edward suggested and Cali nodded. It was better to part ways with Rui and Ruth because she did not like what she was feeling since morning that day. It started with that Candice seducing her doc and now this Ruth. If that prolonged, she knew this would not be healthy for her. "Ruth, me and Edward will go first and try the gaming machine¡­ See you guys¡­" Cali casually said and walked out with Edward. Rui''s shoulders dropped. Ruth heaved a sigh and mumbled, "Doc¡­ Wake up. That''s called unrequited love. If I were in your place, I would have just enjoyed playing this game without much thought. Let Cali alone for now. Geez, you two are always together, anyway. Let her have some time alone doing things she wants." Ruth''s words were like a block of ice being thrown at him. Rui, without him knowing, voiced out, "How come you can see my heart Ruth and Cali still can''t?" Ruth rolled her eyes and said, "There are people with low EQ doc. You should know that as a psychiatrist. Cali unluckily has low EQ¡­ Good thing she has a high IQ though since I have a low IQ but a very high EQ¡­" Chapter 528 - Human Pillow Rui went home straight after giving Ruth a lift to her apartment. He felt so emotionally weak as he walked inside his house. It was almost dinner time yet no news from Cali. He walked straight to his room and threw his tired body on the bed, trying to calm his crying heart. He did not dare follow Cali to the gaming machines because he was scared of seeing her enjoying her time with Edward. The scene of Cali smiling and talking to Edward kept playing before his eyes and torturing him. He got up from the bed and cleaned himself before he went out headed straight to the bar. He wanted to get wasted for once so he could not feel any pain. He drank while staring at his mobile phone every once in a while. He was waiting for Cali to call or at least send him a text message to inform him if she would eat dinner outside, but more than an hour had passed yet there was nothing. Rui grabbed more cans of beer and drank everything one by one. He could feel his body was burning hot as the alcohol was consuming him already. Unconsciously, tears welled up and fell from his eyes. He was sitting there and sobbing alone as he poured all his heartache out with his tears. Cali was his wife, but he could not even touch her like he used to. He couldn''t even tell her to not go to any other man when it was his right to tell her so. His situation was just too much for him to bear, but he was trying his best¡­ because he could not let her go just yet¡­ He wanted to take his chance and fight for her. Rui opened another can of beer and downed it in his throat in a single go. He picked the next can and drowned himself in the alcohol by downing more and more alcohol. Meanwhile, Cali was with Edward, but her mind was drifting somewhere else. "Cali, didn''t you like what I ordered?" Edward asked. Cali gave him half-a-smile and said, "It''s good." She then continued eating while still a little distracted. She unconsciously looked at her mobile phone and mused, ''how come he''s not calling and asking where I am?'' She was controlling herself from contacting Rui because it annoyed her seeing him with Ruth. She was sure those two were still together and having a great dinner somewhere. Ruth would probably take this chance and even ask Rui to a cinema or walk and stroll in parks¡­ Cali crumpled her face and chose to focus on her food instead. When they were done eating, Edward looked straight at her and directly said, "Cali, I like you¡­ And I want to date you." It shocked Cali because she did not expect this coming¡­ Edward chuckled, seeing Cali''s surprised look and parted lips. "I know I have confessed too soon, but I don''t wanna waste time. All I want from you is to give me some time to prove myself and see if you will like me romantically. I know, right now you only like me as a friend, but let''s set a span of time to find out if the chemistry between us can change. Like one month, Or just a week will do! Date me for a week and see if you think you can picture me as your boyfriend." Edward declared. Cali was still speechless. Edward gave her a naughty smile and said, "You don''t have to answer now, Cali¡­ Think of it carefully as we spend time together and get to know each other more. Sorry again if I''m too straightforward. Just that I really don''t want to waste time and it''s in my nature to express myself clearly and speak whatever is in my heart." Edward then dropped her at Rui''s house and to Cali''s surprise it took quite a while before the gate was opened. ''He sounded drunk?'' Cali mused. She went out of the car and Edward left. Cali went inside and was startled to see Rui near the door with his back on the wall. "What are you doing there?" Cali asked. "Waiting for your return¡­" Rui mumbled in his drunken voice. "Are you drunk?" Cali beamed, smelling the stench of alcohol on him. He drank so much and he was reeking of alcohol. Rui smiled and said, "Yeah just a little¡­" He walked towards Cali but almost tripped and Cali instantly caught him from falling. "Geez¡­ What''s with you tonight. Why did you drink so much when you can''t handle it." Cali complained as she helped Rui walk to his room. "Weren''t you with Ruth? Did you drink so much with her?" Cali asked anger building in her as she helped him inside his room. "Nah, after bowling I dropped her home and got straight here. I was waiting for you to call me, but you didn''t." Rui sadly mumbled. Cali was taken aback by his answer and regretted her decision of not calling him when with Edward. She then helped him on the bed and covered him with the blanket, she was about to leave but Rui held her hand and pulled her with him causing her to lie down beside him. "Hey¡­" Cali scoffed. "Stay here for a while. I want a human pillow. Please be my human pillow just for a night." Rui whispered as he buried his face in Cali''s hair. Inhaling that familiar fragrance, he started calming down a little. In his drunken stupor, he had lost control on his rationality and just wanted his wife to be with him on his bed. He missed that softness in his arms while sleeping and wanted her to be with him, only him. Cali froze. Her heart thumped so hard that she thought it would jump out of her chest. Rui was hugging her from behind and his arms were wrapped tightly on her waist. Cali gently moved to remove them but she couldn''t because Rui tightened his hug more whenever she would try to remove his arm. Cali heaved a long sigh and murmured, "Rui please let me go now¡­" Then she heard him sobbing as he whispered, "No¡­ I can''t let you go, ever." ''Is he hallucinating about someone? Maybe he thinks of me to be his former fiance¡­'' Cali mused because Rui was obviously drunk and was not in his right mind. He sobbed for a while and soon started breathing heavily and Cali presumed he was already asleep. She yawned¡­ she started having a second thought whether to leave or not. She felt extremely comfortable in his arms and his warmth was relaxing her tired nerves. It was so comfortable and familiar that, without her knowing, her eyelids closed and she dozed off to sleep. Chapter 529 - Verify Her Feelings Rui was drunk, but was still in his right mind and conscious state when he pulled Cali on the bed. He sighed with relief when he felt Cali was already sleeping in his arms. It had been so long since he cuddled her like this, this closeness had been a distant dream to him ever since she lost her memories. His ways could be cunning for tricking her to be with him like this, but this was the only way for him to be able to hug her like he used to. He buried himself in her warmth and inhaled her scent deeply because he did not know when he would be able to again do that, and somehow he dozed off to sleep with a smile on his face. Cali woke up early that morning and felt a weight on her waist. Her eyes rounded as she recalled what happened last night. She silently scolded herself at the thought of how she could sleep heavily on Rui''s bed and in his embrace. She carefully and quietly removed Rui''s arm from her waist and quickly got up from his bed and rushed outside. Her heart was thumping loudly as she leaned on the wall outside his room calming her heartbeats, thankful that Rui did not wake up that time. It would be too awkward if he woke up with her on his bed. "He might even accuse me of crawling into his bed¡­" she complained. The sun was about to rise soon, so Cali quickly got ready and went into the kitchen. She planned to cook something for Rui since she was sure that man would have a hangover, seeing the number of empty cans of beer strewn around in the bar. After some time, Cali finished preparing breakfast and saw Rui enter the kitchen. "Good morning¡­" Rui greeted as he massaged his throbbing temple. He felt his head would burst with pain but still a smile curved up on his face because he could still feel Cali''s warmth and smell her scent all over his body. He did not even want to take a bath and wished her fragrance could linger on him for days to come. "I''m done here and will soon serve the food. Go sit in the dining area," she instructed. "Why did you drink so much? You were reeking of alcohol last night. Here drink this soup so you will feel better and drink this medicine after you eat." Cali continued with a scolding tone while she served him the food. Then she sat on her chair and creased her forehead, seeing Rui was grinning stupidly as he looked at her. "And what''s funny?" she mumbled, wondering why he looked so happy. "Oh, I''m just happy you thought of me like this, sweetheart. Maybe I should drink often and let you take care of me for the rest of my life," he whispered with a smile. Cali''s face flushed at that and she hissed, "Come on, eat now and stop joking around. We''ll be late for our class." Hearing the word class, Rui''s smile faded. That meant Cali would go to the university and meet that rascal Edward again! ''How did your fun time with Edward go?'' he wanted to ask her but he got scared¡­ He somehow feared Cali''s answer. What if she said she had so much fun and would like to go out with Edward again? Oh, his poor broken heart would not be able to take that, so he sealed his lips and did not ask her how her fun time last night with Edward was. After breakfast, Rui and Cali got ready to go to school. They were already in the living room and were ready to leave when Rui received a buzz from the gate. His eyebrows collided, seeing a car outside. "What is he doing here?" he muttered, seeing the familiar car of Edward that he also used to drop Cali off home last night. "Hi, can you please open the gate? I''m here to pick up Cali¡­" Edward yelled at the camera. "Oh, he''s here?" Cali asked, seeing Edward on the video screen. "Did you ask him to pick you up?" Rui asked, almost a whisper. "No, I said it''s not needed, but he said he would still drop by," Cali whispered. She did not know why she suddenly felt awkward explaining it to Rui when there was nothing wrong if Edward would pick her up since she and Rui were not romantically involved with each other. "I will go ahead first, please allow him to enter the gate¡­ Thanks." Cali quickly said and went out of the door. Rui''s jaw clenched as he tried to control his anger. He did not like what was going on. Why was Cali entertaining Edward and even allowing him to come close to her, unlike Kane, whom she turned down the instant he tried to come close to her? ''Does she like him?'' he mused, feeling so broken. Was his assessment of her wrong? He thought he was already getting there¡­ Almost near¡­ So what was this?! Cali went inside Edward''s car. Last night, while she was in Rui''s embrace, she had mixed emotions and feelings. She was very confused, and she did not know what to do. Edward seemed to be a nice man. Though she did not feel any attraction towards him, she still wanted to give him a chance. She had been in a dilemma about her feelings for Rui, and that was why she decided to give a try to what Edward offered. She wanted to verify her feelings for Rui. And the best way to do that was that she entertained another man in her life so she could balance out what was it she really wanted. She wanted to see if her feelings would get swayed with Edward by her side. She was so used to Rui by her side, so she thought it could be the reason she was feeling so attached to him. Chapter 530 - Would It Have Been A Better Choice? "Did you eat breakfast already?" Edward asked and Cali nodded. "Edward, I thought about it last night and decided to give your offer a try. I hope you will expect nothing during this time because it''s just a trial for a week. Let''s see what we will have for a week. As you said, I will tell you after the entire week if I think I can be with you as a partner romantically or not." Cali stated. "That''s great. Thank you so much, Cali. And I will do my best to prove my sincerity to you. I really like you so much and I want you to be my girlfriend." Edward excitedly declared. He chuckled and added, "I have to work hard during this one week from now on¡­" Edward suddenly grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it, startling her and making her uncomfortable, as he whispered, "Thank you so much, Cali. Sorry about this I just got carried away with too much joy." Edward quickly released her hand and scratched his head. Cali gave him half-a-smile as she started comparing that gesture of Edward from Rui and the difference she felt. Rui contemplated whether to still proceed going to the university or just skip that day and stay at home. He felt so wasted, not because of his hangover but because of his broken heart. But then he realized Cali would be worried about him so he decided to leave to go to the school that instant. He finally arrived and managed to greet Cali as he sat behind her. The professor was giving an important lecture but Rui''s mind wandered elsewhere¡­ He could not help but think if it was really a wise move not to inform Cali about him as her husband. That time, when Dion and grandpa Lua decided to inform Cali about the truth of her accident and how she lost some of her present memories, Dion approached him and suggested that they could also tell Cali about him and their marriage. He had given it a careful thought that time for days¡­ He balanced everything out, using all his experience as a psychiatrist before he came out with the decision of not telling Cali about him. One factor that covered most of his decision was his fear of rejection by Cali. He was afraid that Cali would reject him and ask for a divorce since she could not remember him, anyway. He knew it was selfish of him, but he did not want any possibility of divorce to happen. Never¡­ Cali was his wife¡­ His lifetime partner¡­ He could not forget the wedding vows he took with her... he would be with her in sickness and in health, till death do them apart¡­ So he decided he would not compromise his marriage and let even a sliver of that possibility lurk up, but fight for her and win her heart back by any means. That was how he came up with his plan on how to get near her, and that was by him being appointed as her private doctor with the help of grandpa Lua and nanny Shine. Now he wondered if his decision was wrong and hiding his true relationship was not the right choice. He wondered what would happen if he told Cali about their marriage instead at that time? Would it have been a better choice? Rui inhaled and exhaled, relaxing his body and his emotions. He should not waste time sulking and downcasted like this¡­ He should quickly make another plan with this sudden turn of events, with a bug buzzing around his wife attracting her towards him and trying to snatch her away. He cheered his sad self inwardly and told himself that it was too early to feel like he had already lost. That was his wife over there. Even if she didn''t remember him, he would do everything to get and win her back. He chuckled inwardly because of how redundant he was, cheering himself silently. Then he darted his eyes on Edward, sending daggers through his gaze in his direction. He quickly glanced in another direction when Edward suddenly turned behind to see him. ''He probably felt the pain of stabbing while I''m killing him in my mind,'' Rui mused with pursed lips and clenched jaws. The first class ended, and it was again time for Candice''s class. As soon as Rui entered, Candice greeted him with a wide seductive smile and even winked at him. Rui looked around and wondered if the other student noticed. He didn''t see anyone looking at them but one, and to his surprise that one was frowning at that moment. What made his mood lighter was that frowning person was Cali. Candice, on the other hand, gave Cali a poker smile instead. She was really enjoying this, playing a b*tch like this. She bet Cali wanted to pull her hair that instant. Reading her annoyed expressions, she gave Rui a meaningful look. Candice was even surprised when Rui answered her with a sweet smile. ''So you two probably are playing this tug-of-war with each other, huh,'' Candice mused as she interpreted Rui''s positive movements towards him. Candice started her lecture and even walked around the classroom, reaching to each student while she gave her lecture and asked a question or two occasionally. She even patted the shoulder of her students, whether female and male, and Cali felt it was so weird. Everything that Candice did felt weird and stupid to Cali Cali bit her lip as she turned around and saw Candice''s hand on Rui''s shoulder as she asked him a question. Cali quickly turned her head back as she mused, ''shameless! pervert!'' The lecture finally ended, and Edward was pulling Cali for lunch. "Where do you want to eat?" Edward asked while she remained in her seat as other students were already leaving. When everyone was out, she saw Rui walk past her. "Rui," she called. Rui stopped and turned to her. She was about to say something, but Candice held Rui''s arm intimately and looked at her saying, "Can I borrow him for lunch? It''s been a while since we last saw each other, so I was hoping to have some private time with Rui at lunch." Cali pursed her lips. That wicked smile of that woman was so sly! And annoying as hell. "It''s okay Candice. You don''t need to ask Cali. I''ll go with you and let''s have lunch together like old times." Rui answered instead. And in that instant, Candice quickly pulled him outside with her. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 531 - Exclamation Points "Don''t turn around. Let her have enough time to sort her feelings out. She will definitely differentiate while she is going out with Edward, so give her a little more time and be patient..." Rui heard Candice uttered. He chuckled and said in a jest, "Wow¡­ Are you really Candice? I thought you only love bullying people how come there''s actually a pearl of hidden wisdom in your words now¡­" "Shut up or I will let you do the rest on your own lover-boy¡­" Candice threatened with her serious tone. Rui quickly zipped his mouth because he was aware of how scary Candice could be when annoyed. "Where are we going to eat?" Rui asked. Candice pulled him into the school canteen instead. "I''m sure those two will also get here. By the way¡­ Did Cali somehow received a black rose?" Candice nonchalantly asked.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/exclamation-points_%!d(string=49803040974228037) for visiting. "No¡­ Why? What''s with the black rose?" Rui asked, suddenly feeling worried. "Oh, nothing, but just in case she gets one you have to inform me immediately¡­" Candice plainly reminded him. Meanwhile, back inside the room, Edward had to wave his hand to get Cali''s attention. "Are you alright, Cali? What''s going on?" he asked. Cali gave him a half-smile and said, "Yeah, let''s go eat." She stood up from her seat and walked out with Edward with a very disturbing heart. ***** The last class that day soon ended, and it was time to go home. Rui could not help it and approached Cali saying, "Let''s go home." Cali looked at Edward, who was talking to one of their classmates. A while ago at lunch, she promised him that she would go on a movie date with him after school. "You go ahead. Edward and I will watch a movie." Cali informed Rui. Rui''s face darkened as he grunted, "Cali, your grandpa is not aware of what you are doing right now. You''ve been going out and coming home late lately." Cali''s eyebrows raised as she answered, "Stop being so extra and over-protective. Can''t I have a life apart from staying with and around you always? It''s really annoying doc so please stop meddling in my personal life. If I''m not mistaken, you''re only in charge of my medical condition, so please don''t suffocate me!" Rui was caught off-guard with those words. "Is everything alright?" Edward asked, who at that instant went and stood beside Cali. "Yes, Edward¡­ Everything is well. If you''re done, we can now leave." Cali replied. "Yes, I''m done. Let''s go." Edward answered. Cali was totally pissed off and her annoyance started when Rui had that lunch with Candice. ''I thought he wanted to avoid her, but he just threw himself into her!'' she mused as she walked past Rui to go out with Edward outside the room. She cleared her mind and thought to enjoy herself on a movie date with Edward instead. Edward was a funny man to be with. Cali did enjoy her time with him since the man was also full of a sense of humor but for some reason, her mind kept drifting towards Rui. "You''re spacing out¡­" Edward commented while they were having lunch. Cali smiled and said, "Oh really?" Edward nodded and said, "Yeah. I think something is bothering you. Cali, I want you to open up to me. You can tell me everything and maybe I can help you out. I''m also good at giving a piece of advice you see." Cali smiled and mumbled, "You won''t give biased advice?" Edward chuckled and honestly said, "Wait... If it concerns me, then I can''t promise not to give bias advice. I might end up saying things for my advantage." Cali laughed. She actually liked how honest and candid Edward was. She thought she and Edward could get along well. But then something in her heart was somehow always making her feel uncomfortable¡­ So she wanted to give it more a try and spend more time with Edward in that span of a week. Now it had been two days already, and so far everything was smooth sailing between them. Her mobile phone beeped, and she looked at it. She bit her lip, seeing it was Rui. [Don''t stay up too late! Tell Edward to bring you back home early!!!] ''Is he yelling out on me with those exclamation points?!'' she irritably mused. Rui was acting like a protective father at her, and she could not help but get more annoyed. With a crumpled face, she typed a replying saying¡­ ''Don''t tell me what to do because I''m old enough to do what I want! I will come back home as I fit!'' She waited and heaved a long deep sigh of relief, hearing no negative response from him. "Is that Rui?" she heard Edward asked, who she did not notice was looking at her intently. She gave him an awkward smile, followed by a nod. "What''s really the relationship between you two?" Edward asked with a serious note. "He''s my private doctor," Cali whispered. "Yeah, I know that, but what I mean is what are you really feeling for him? I want my girlfriend to like only me, Cali. I''m a possessive person and I want a woman who will only think about me¡­" Edward directly said, making Cali gulped. She heaved a long deep sigh, tilted her head down, and muttered, "I''m honestly confused¡­" Edward''s face became gloomy as he clenched his jaw, but he quickly changed it into a soft and understanding expression. "Cali, what I said is true. I''m biased in giving advice so I will ask you to still date me for a week¡­ And I will help you not to get confused anymore. After that one week, you will be able to decide what it is that you really want. So please give that one week to me and try not to think about Rui. He''s been with you longer than I have, so he has more advantages, so please try concentrating only on me whenever we are together¡­" Edward pleaded. Chapter 532 - Loving Him Again Cali suddenly felt bad as she realized how unfair it could be for Edward, so she nodded at him. Edward gave her his widest smile as he grabbed one of her hands on the table and gently squeezed it. "Thank you so much, Cali. You won''t regret this and I will do everything that I can to prove myself for you to see that I''m worthy to be your man." Edward remarked and Cali smiled at him faintly, wondering if what she was doing was the right thing to do. "Common, let''s continue eating. The movie we are going to watch is a blockbuster, so I''m sure you will enjoy it." Edward commented as he released her hand. Cali looked at her hand and tried her best to double-check if she felt something like that electricity she felt whenever her skin would touch Rui''s. How come she couldn''t feel the same with Edward. Cali heaved a long deep frustrated sigh and mused, ''Maybe later at the cinema when we get a little bit closer, I might feel something?'' She had heard feelings could be developed over time, so maybe Edward was right, she should give him more time and see if she would start feeling something for him. She did not have a man her whole life nor did she fall in love yet, so it was technically her first time and she was really confused about how to acknowledge or name her emotions. Cali and Edward were about to enter the cinema theater when Cali''s mobile phone rang. She halted and checked it. Seeing it was Rui on her caller ID, Cali answered quickly. "Hello?!" she asked. "Where are you now?" she heard Rui asked. Cali''s eyebrows raised, but she still answered him saying, "I''m with Edward and will now be going inside the cinema. I just put my phone on silent mode so you can just text me if there''s something important you want to tell me."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/loving-him-again_%!d(string=49803046057727963) for visiting. Rui''s nostrils flared as all the intimate scenes that could happen inside the cinema, between Edward and Cali, flashed through his active mind. He stood up on his seat and with a grim face barked, "Come back home right now, Cali! Next time I will lock the gates without telling you the code, so you won''t be able to get out without me! From now on you must come back home before ten in the evening or you won''t be able to enter too. And your grandpa will know about all of this. Why? because you''re always coming home late... Don''t test my patience or I will call your grandpa right this instant to tell him you''re going out with a man instead of focusing on your studies! I will make sure he sends you back to country D if you don''t come home this instant! I will only give you less than an hour, Cali! And if you''re not home, then prepare yourself to go back home to your family!" Cali was about to say something but she heard the end call voice instead. "Sh*t! She cursed loudly in annoyance, wondering what was happening to Rui! ''How dare he even threatened me!'' she cried in annoyance. "What''s wrong?" Edward asked worriedly, seeing how suddenly Cali''s face turned dark and gloomy. "I need to go back, Edward. At this very instant. Can we cancel our movie for now and reschedule it some other time, please? I just need to deal with Rui." she apologetically said. Edward seemed to understand the situation and nodded. That very instant they went into the parking lot and Edward drove Cali back to Rui''s place. When Cali was about to go out of the car, Edward asked, "Are you sure you don''t need me inside? I''m just worried, Cali." Cali gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Go now. I can perfectly handle it myself." She went out of Edward''s car and waited for his car to drive out of Rui''s property before she heaved a long deep sigh and walked inside the house, ready to fire out her anger. Inside the house, Rui heaved a long, deep sigh while he gulped all the whisky in his glass in just one go. He sat at the bar counter while counting the days he had been with his wife, who had totally forgotten about him today, because of the side effects of that brain surgery. He thought of the improvements he had made over the past couple of days to make her love him again. He chuckled as he poured himself some more whisky in his glass. His path to have Cali to be his wife before all this was way too easy since it all started as an arranged marriage between families and also, he was lucky that Cali liked and fell in love with him first. He was lost in reminiscing about his wonderful time with his wife, back during those wonderful days when Cali had only him in her eyes and loved him endlessly. But he came out of his dreamland by the sound of footsteps of someone stomping towards him. He straightened his body¡­ Ready to receive another row of complaints from his dear wife, who seemed to be getting irritated at him more and more because of his strictness towards him. But what else could he do if she chose to go out to party often and mingle with young men who were obviously ready to pounce at her at any opportunity they could get. He could not keep calm in such situations and ended up imposing strict rules on her, but then while doing so he tended to forget that Cali was not aware of their relationship, she had forgotten all that had ever happened between them, even how she made him fall for her and that she was already married to him. How much endurance he would have, what amount of frustration he would feel when he could not tell Cali about their relationship, because he was waiting for her... to at least fall in love with him once again before he could tell her anything about her past, about their past. Rui wanted her back and was not ready to share even a single bit of her with anyone. Although he was suffering through all this, but still, he had decided to start all over again with her. He was willing to deal with all and any suffering if it would lead to his wife loving him again. Chapter 533 - The Same Kiss "Who do you think you are?!" Cali hissed, her eyes fuming with anger. Rui''s eyes darted at hers lovingly as he mused, ''Love me again. I''m your husband.'' But then he chose to say something different, maybe because the whisky was already showing its effect, so he was feeling more confident and playful. "I''m the doctor who loves you," Rui muttered in a low tone. He wanted to add that he was her husband who would always love her, but Cali might freak out hearing the truth. "What?!" Cali burst in disbelief. Did she just hear his buzzing, whispering right? She had never met someone as shameless as him in her entire life. She could not enjoy and have fun with friends, forget any chances of having a boyfriend, because he was so strict like an old man. And how dared he threatened her to lock their gate without telling her the code? Even though she was staying in his house because of her father''s instructions, still how could he lock the freaking door every ten in the evening. ''Are we in a freaking martial law to have such absurd curfews imposed?'' "I mean, I''m your doctor, so it''s my duty to love and care for you." She heard Rui rephrase his words. Her eyebrows furrowed as she barked, "Yeah, so stop acting like you''re my twenty-four seven bodyguard! Act just like a professional medical assistant, not my grandfather!" Cali was fuming, but Rui kept his calm as he said, "Sorry, but it''s included in my work description. Again, you can check it with your grandpa. I''m your all-round man and if you have to complain about that then as your grandpa said¡­ you have to return home with me and stay inside the corners of the Lua''s residence whether you like it or not." Cali''s face crumpled as she grunted, "What''s with the love, then? Is that also a part of your work description? Is my grandpa aware of it, huh? Are you two playing some kind of joke on me?" For some reason, she felt her heart respond in a weird way, hearing the word ''love'' from his mouth, in a way she had never felt before in her memory. But then, she always felt weird with Rui''s presence in her life, though in a good way somehow. "Loving you is not in my work description, but if you agree, I''m willing to offer that service for free to you, sweetheart." "So unbelievable! Are you crazy?" Cali burst into rage despite the fluttering she felt in her heart from another candid reply from him. She never could know whether he was serious or just having fun playing with words on her, and she hated it! "Yeah, I''m crazy¡­ Crazy for being in love with you¡­" Rui continued. There was no going back now, so he started confessing the feelings he longed to tell his wife ever since she opened her eyes after her surgery. He stood up from his chair and walked towards Cali, who began to step back as he moved closer. "Do you think this is a joke, huh?!" She scorned as she made another step back. "Who said it is? I''m dead serious, Cali." Rui murmured with a serious face as he stepped forward.

It felt so good for him to open up his heart like this. He would deal with the consequences later whether it would be positive and negative. All he knew at that moment was to speak his mind or he would soon go crazy for keeping it in for too long. "Do you think I''m that easy to get, huh?" Cali chided as she felt the wall behind her back. She was cornered with Rui''s arms pressed on both sides to the wall, caging her petite body. They were so close, she could smell his breath, tinged with alcohol. ''What is wrong with me?!'' She hissed to herself because she felt her knees weaken as he brought his face close to hers, nuzzling his nose on her ears. "No¡­ I will not say any more words, but I''ll show you how genuine my feelings are with my actions, sweetheart." He whispered in her ear. She suddenly shivered as his breaths tickled in her ear. Still, she maintained her rationality as she raised her eyebrows and smirked before scoffing, "Actions, huh? And for goodness'' sake, stop calling me sweetheart because I''m not!" She was starting to get bothered by it now, ever since she dreamt of that intimate moment with that faceless man with the same voice as Rui. She could feel her body grow tense whenever Rui called her sweetheart. "But you are my sweetheart." she heard him reply. She was even startled when he grabbed her hand and put it on his chest. He was looking intently at her as she felt his gaze pierce through her deepest core. "Can you feel how my heartbeat is in chaos because of you?" Cali tried to retract her hand, but he held it tightly, pulling her close to him. His other arm now encircled her waist. "I love you Cali, and I will always love you, sweetheart. You can''t escape from me because I''m the only man for you. I know deep in your heart you can feel it too. I will not stop courting you every day, and no matter how hard you try to drive me away¡­ I will always come back to you and show you how much you mean to me." Before she could respond to his sudden confession, Cali felt his soft lips brushing against hers. She froze. Rui just confessed to her, and she did not know what to do. She had mixed emotions inside her heart. But the kiss she was giving her at that moment... ''Why don''t I feel his kiss filthy? Instead, the kiss feels very familiar! Like it''s a kiss that I''ve been longing for all my life?'' Cali confusedly thought as her body moved involuntarily, encircling her arms on his neck as she answered his kisses with equal passion. It was the same kiss with that man in her dream, so much the same feeling and intensity like Rui was exactly that man whom she had an intimate moment with in her dream. Chapter 534 - A lot To Fix Cali snapped out of that indulging moment and quickly pushed Rui away with all her strength. She was so frustrated with everything that happened that day; him leaving her for that Candice, then not letting her stay out for a movie, and even threatening her to come back home by saying that he''d snitch on her and tell everything to her grandfather. And the moment he kissed her, the way she melted filled her with an unknown source of anger. She did not know what came on her, but she raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face before she ran out to go inside her room. She closed her door and helplessly leaned on the back of her door. She felt so weak that she slumped on the floor crying. She was upset, but she did not know why. She just couldn''t contain her emotions, it was all too overwhelming for her¡­ She tried to recall something, remember anything about her past that would add up and somehow help her make sense of what she was feeling because she wanted to know why it was all so familiar. She thought hard about that dream and tried as hard as she could to remember a face, or any other detail, but she ended up with just a severe headache. She crawled towards her medicine cabinet to grab her pill and quickly took one before she laid on her bed, crouching as she tried to relax her head, recalling Rui''s words on how to ease her pain. Cali hugged herself and curled into a ball to comfort herself¡­ Trying her best to calm herself down. So many things just happened, and she felt like it was too much to be processed by her head, so she closed her eyes¡­ Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/a-lot-to-fix_%!d(string=49882405242194106) for visiting. But even though she closed her eyes¡­ she could hear Rui''s words echoing in her head. It was like hearing him repeatedly saying that he loved her, and her tears just kept flowing from her eyes like a waterfall. It was exhausting and troublesome and she soon fell asleep in that very state... Meanwhile, Rui stood frozen at his post. He touched his face, the cheek that Cali slapped before she ran away. "I didn''t know my wife had such a heavy hand. She slapped me so hard¡­" he whispered and decided to never make his wife angry a second time, for him not to get slapped like that again. He would never again dare wake up the devil in her! Rui then scoffed as a satisfied smile formed on his face. His fingers traced his lips. Cali had answered his kiss¡­ She kissed him back, so her slap on his cheeks was more to save her face from embarrassment than to push him away. ''She liked it,'' he mused in contentment, pertaining to how Cali reacted to his kiss. Cali also slapped him because she had mixed emotions and Rui could understand it well enough. Her head had no recollection of the past, but her heart had not forgotten Rui. He felt so light-hearted after what happened because he finally let it all out and told her everything. He finally felt that his patience did not go to waste, and he was correct to be hopeful and have faith in their love. Now, what he must do was give Cali the space and time she needed to sort her feelings out. Rui walked back to his room and dialed a number to make all necessary arrangements before he left the next day. He grabbed a pen, and a paper then sat on his study table. He exhaled a long, deep sigh before he started writing. He was again being redundant because he had already said some of it to Cali, some sentences of what he wrote in the letter. Rui was smiling and was in a positive spirit while he wrote a love letter as a farewell to his sweetheart. **** Cali woke up late and seeing the time at her wall clock, she immediately got up and took a quick shower or else she would be late for school. She got dressed and was about to go out through the door but abruptly stopped¡­ She unconsciously touched her lips. Rui''s kiss still lingered on them. It was as if she could still feel his lips on hers. Her face reddened with embarrassment as she wondered how she would face him. She obviously liked it¡­ his kiss and him both. But she slapped him last night and ran away¡­ Cali bit her lips and muttered, "I should apologize to him." But she felt so shy about what happened last night. She was ashamed about the slapping part when she had clearly kissed him back. Cali covered her face with her hands and mumbled, "What should I do?" Today, she had a lot to fix. Last night, she sorted everything out and realized she liked Rui. More like she had fallen for him already. She should talk to Edward about it as early as possible, today. She also had to talk to Rui and give him a proper answer instead of a slap about his confession last night. She charged herself with enough courage by inhaling and exhaling loudly and opened her door. She was too startled to see a woman who greeted her with her wide smile, "Good morning ma''am. I''m Selya and I would be your nanny while sir Rui is not around. The breakfast is ready and laid out in the dining area." "What?!" Cali burst in a shock. Rui was not around? Selya smiled at her and picked up something from the table. She handed her a letter while she said, "Sir Rui told me to give you this letter, ma''am. Please have breakfast first¡­ Later I will introduce you to your new private doctor." Cali helplessly sat on the chair at the dining area and slowly opened Rui''s letter to her. She bit her lower lip as it started to tremble. Her eyes welled and tears fell continuously from her eyes while reading his letter. It was the same thing he told last night, just more detailed. Chapter 535 - Where Are You? Cali was sobbing hard as she read the letter¡­ **** "I am sorry for falling in love with you. I can''t help my feelings for you Cali¡­ I tried to hide my feelings not to make you go away from me, but it''s hard. All I see is you whenever I close my eyes and search for you when I open them... I just hate it whenever any man is around you. My heart aches so much seeing you smiling at some other man, Cali, because I love you so much, and the only man I want to see around you watching you smile and with you is myself. I am not sorry for kissing you last night because I only expressed how my heart feels for you. I am leaving to give you some time to sort out your feelings¡­ I want to give you the space that I know you need. I will always be here for you Cali, waiting for my love to be reciprocated by you¡­ I will wait for you to come to me... I love you, sweetheart, and I want you to be happy so I will accept whatever decision you will take." ***** Cali was sobbing so hard that Selya worriedly rushed to her. "Where is he?!" she asked between her sobs. She wanted to talk to him but was unable to because when she tried to call Rui his mobile phone was turned off. "I don''t know as well, ma''am. He only told me that he will call to check how things are going on here. He wanted me to take care of all your needs¡­" Selya said and left when Cali dismissed her. Cali did not have the energy to go to the school that day. She did not even have the appetite for breakfast, but she tried to eat a little while she imagined Rui sitting in front of her and scolding her for eating properly. She grabbed her mobile phone and tried to call him again, but his phone was still off¡­ His number still could not be reached. She typed a message on her mobile phone for Rui but erased it. She just could not find the right words to express herself. Cali felt like crying again but tried hard not to. It was her fault that Rui left. She regretted slapping him and running away from him last night, but what had to happen had already happened. She needed to talk to Rui and tell him how she felt, but didn''t know how! He could not be contacted, and she did not even know where he was or any alternate number to call and ask for his whereabouts. Selya approached her and said, "Ma''am, someone is at the gate. His name is Edward, and he is saying he has come to pick you up." Cali exhaled loudly and instructed, "Please let him in and guide him to the living area. I need to talk to him." Selya nodded and left while Cali stood up, adjusted her clothes and appearance a little, and went to the living area to see Edward. Soon Edward arrived with a smile and asked in a jest, "Oh, how was I allowed inside the house today? Your grumpy doctor agreed to let me in?" Then his expression changed when he noticed Cali''s red and swelled up eyes. "What happened? Were you crying?" he asked in a row. Cali shook her head and signaled him to sit beside her. "Edward, I will be skipping classes today because I''m not feeling well, so you can go without me. Also, I want to be honest with you about certain things. Last night, I gave a good thought to everything and realized what I really want¡­ I''m really sorry, Edward, but I can''t reciprocate your feelings. I only like you as a friend and it will remain like that, because unknowingly, I already have someone I like, and I only realized this last night. I''m in love with him. I am in love with my private doctor." Cali straightforwardly declared without batting an eye. Edward''s forehead creased as he furrowed. He was caught off guard, but he tried to control his emotions and managed to give Cali a smile. "I understand and I''m happy for you, Cali. But I hope we can at least still remain friends. You know you can always lean on me as a friend whenever you need anything." Cali nodded then whispered, "Thank you so much Edward for understanding." Edward no longer stayed there and soon bade goodbye to Cali. "I hope you are fine by tomorrow. See you tomorrow at school then¡­" he said with a forced smile. Cali walked him out of the house up to his car. She did not go back inside the house afterward. Instead, she sat on the bench swing placed on the veranda and looked into space. She was not by herself. She wanted to see Rui, but she did not know how. "Where are you?" she unknowingly whispered and started sobbing again. Cali picked up her mobile phone from inside her pocket and tried to Call Rui once again but still to no avail. She felt like crying but stopped herself because everything that happened was her fault because she was stupid and could not acknowledge her own feelings that everything had come to the point where Rui had to leave her. Cali stood up and walked back inside the house, wondering how she should spend a day without Rui. She ended up going back inside her room, but she imagined Rui was there scolding her why she did not go to school. She was so used to his presence every time, that him being gone like this was making her restless. She very soon went out of her room and looked for Selya. "Did Rui call already?" she asked. "Not yet, ma''am." she answered. Her new private doctor finally arrived and Cali welcomed her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/where-are-you_%!d(string=49882409017080849) for visiting. "Rui endorsed me as your private doctor and explained your medical condition clearly. Here is my number. Make sure you call for me should you experience any discomfort while you are not in the house like at school or outside anywhere¡­" the doctor reminded her, and she only nodded. So she could now go out anywhere and whenever she wanted? But why did she feel sad? Before she would probably feel happy being more carefree like what she wanted her life to be, but now she did not even feel like going out. She only wanted to stay at home and wait for Rui''s arrival because she did not want to miss any opportunity of meeting him. Chapter 536 - His Absence Cali looked at her new doctor and requested, "If Rui calls you, can you please tell him to call me as well? Tell him I need to talk to him about something important, urgently." The doctor nodded understandingly. Cali timidly looked at her and added, "Do you know where he is?" Her new doctor only shook her head and said, "I don''t know, but maybe he would return very soon because he cares a lot for you. He actually explained a lot of things about you and asked me to make sure that you''re properly taken care of¡­" Hours passed by so slowly for Cali. She ate lunch alone and once again she imagined Rui in front of her, telling her to eat more and eat properly. Cali''s tears unconsciously fell again from her eyes while she stared at the empty seat in front of her. She was missing him badly¡­ and she ended up sobbing alone in front of her food. She hated herself for being so stupid and scolded herself repeatedly. "Please come back soon¡­" she whispered alone, sobbing. "I''m really sorry¡­" she whispered next. Selya looked at Cali from a distance and heaved a long sigh. Rui was just around the corner, but he said he needed to be gone from Cali''s sight for at least a few days. She wondered if she should report to him how Cali had not stopped crying ever since morning. She grabbed her phone and started sending him a text message about Cali''s state. [Sir, I think you should come back soon or else madame''s tears will dry out from crying too much¡­] *** Rui''s eyes rounded while he read the text message of Selya. He was just in the nearby apartment he rented to make sure he could easily run to Cali whenever she needed him. He was not planning to go to any faraway place, but merely wanted to stay away from her sight and not show himself to Cali. He stood up and was about to rush out, but abruptly stopped. He cursed and went back to his seat. He must control himself because he wanted Cali to be sure about her feelings. She must realize what it was that she really wanted. She needed to be sure if she really wanted him. "Damn!" he cursed. He was restless because controlling himself not to run to her side in that instant was definitely so difficult. He felt like he was torturing himself along the process. Just knowing that she was crying hard was making him crazily worried already. "Control Rui!" he scolded himself. He must wait. He tried to divert his attention to other things, tried watching a movie, reading his favorite books, but he ended up sighing a lot and wondering if he could already go back home. But then, as a psychiatrist, he knew he still needed to prolong his absence. "Ah, how come it''s too hard!" he irritably grunted and walked to the refrigerator to get some beer. While drinking, he could not help but feel excited about being with Cali once again, but this time he knew his hard work had been paid off. "Thank you, Lord¡­" he unconsciously whispered a prayer of thanks. Selya also reported to him how Cali met Edward and how she told the man that she had him in her heart instead. It should be at least three days of him being gone, but Rui was somehow thinking to go back as early as tomorrow. Meanwhile, back at Rui''s home, it was almost dinner time and Cali ended up cursing Rui as she whispered, "How dare he tell me to go to him and he will wait for me? How can I go to him when he did not tell even to these two people he left behind, where he is!" Soon she heard knocking on her door and she almost jumped off her feet to open it, thinking it was Rui. Her face curved in great disappointment seeing it was Selya who smiled at her saying, "ma''am dinner is ready. Do you prefer to eat inside the room?" Cali sighed and said, "Yeah, I will eat here please bring the food inside." She had no energy to go to the dining area and ate alone because she might again end up hallucinating Rui sitting in front of her and eating with her. She did not want to ask Selya or even her private doctor to eat with her because she would end up embarrassing herself if at some point she ended up crying without her knowing. She looked at the huge bear on her bed and approached it instead. She pointed out her finger on it and mumbled, "You! You! How could you leave me here like this alone, huh?! Seriously? After confessing to me and kissing me like that? You just left and even wrote a letter to make me feel more restless? How could you be so cruel to me?! Yes, I know I was wrong when I slapped you, but still, how could you leave like that?!" She was too busy pouring out all her frustrations to her huge bear that she did not notice that her door opened. "You know the bear can''t talk back to you, right? How pitiful it looks when you are scolding him nonstop¡­" Cali heard Rui''s voice from behind but she did not turn back because she knew she was once again only imagining things¡­ Imagining his presence, like she was doing ever since he left, and she knew it was once again like that, Rui talking back to her¡­ She scoffed and mumbled, "I will soon go crazy at this rate! Maybe I should just return home to grandpa and nanny Shine instead of staying here alone and waiting for that bastard jerk who can''t even turn his mobile phone on!" Then she suddenly felt warm arms encircling her waist, hugging her from behind. "Why do you want to leave sweetheart when I''m already back here with you¡­" she heard him whisper in her ear with his warm breath that could only give her that tingling familiar sensation. It felt so real that she had to pinch herself to make sure she was not just hallucinating once again.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/his-absence_%!d(string=49882412489951498) for visiting. Chapter 537 - All Yours "Ouch!" Cali cried out in pain after she pinched herself on the arm. She was not dreaming but was wide awake and everything was a reality! The voice she heard was real and that meant¡­ She realized what it meant and hastily turned around and cupped Rui''s face in her palms, who was smiling widely at her. "Where had you gone?!" she burst as tears started to fall from her eyes. Rui wiped her cheeks and whispered, "I''m back¡­ Please stop crying, Cali. It breaks my heart seeing you cry like this¡­" Cali pounced at him and murmured, sobbing, "I''m sorry. I will never do that again. Please don''t leave me ever again like this." They stayed there, stilled, hugging each other for some time, and Rui''s heart was filled with unexplainable joy. He was feeling too happy. How long did he dream of hugging his wife like this with her consent? And now it has come to reality. He could feel her emotions with her tight hug as if she was scared to lose him. He inwardly chuckled at how he did not follow his own timeline and rushed to her. He was almost dying with the thought of waiting for a few days and finally, he could not take it any longer, so he ran back to her, ignoring the decision taken by himself to stay away from her for a few days to let her realize and sort out her feelings in his absence. After some time, Rui pulled Cali to sit on the couch. He was still cuddling her while there was only silence between them. Cali felt so comfortable in Rui''s arms as if this was her home that she had been waiting forever since! She was so happy that he came back soon because she thought he would be gone for too long because of what she did. "Are you mad at me?" she suddenly asked. "Why would I be?" Rui answered as he held Cai''s hand lovingly. "Because I slapped you. I''m sorry¡­ I didn''t know what came to me at that moment. I didn''t want to slap you." Cali whispered. "Hmm, it''s nothing, Cali. The pain of that slap was nothing compared to the pain I felt seeing you with Edward." Rui voiced his feeling out so Cali could understand how much she meant to him. Cali bit her lip and whispered, "Sorry, I did not know. I have already talked to Edward this morning and told him I like you. I guess I''m very immature still, I can''t even sort out my feelings easily. I was confused about my feelings for you and I just wanted to see the difference in how I felt if I would be with Edward." "And how does it differ?" Rui asked. Cali''s confession was like music to his ears that he could not wait to tell Xander how everything went well. They would be genuinely happy for him because Rui knew he was so worried about him. Cali hesitated. She felt shy telling it to Rui. "I want to know Cali¡­" Rui whispered. "It''s because I felt something whenever you touched me, and it''s not the same kind of feelings with Edward. Whenever he held my hand I felt uncomfortable, but whenever you do I feel weird." "Huh? Weird?" Rui beamed. Cali chuckled and bashfully said, "Weird in a good way, like all my nerves felt a kind of tingling, like some electricity running down my body, and honestly I feel very secure whenever you are close with me¡­ Last night¡­ after I gave everything a good thought I realized that I have deep feelings for you." Cali gulped and continued, "I love you Rui."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/all-yours_%!d(string=49882415459531880) for visiting. Rui listened intently to every word she said and was so overwhelmed that he bent down and kissed her hand as tears welled up in his eyes. He was very happy that he finally did it. He endured so much pain and yet persevered and ultimately managed to get his wife back. Her memories were lost, but her heart was still the same and it did not fail in recognizing him. He was full of all these emotions that he sobbed while he kissed Cali''s hand repeatedly and lovingly said, "I love you so much, sweetheart. Thank you for loving me back¡­" Cali turned to face him, and tears were flowing from her eyes too. Both of them were now crying with joy. She leaned forward and gave Rui a gentle kiss on his lips. Rui pulled her and held her nape and deepened the kiss he so longed for and dreamed of giving her every day. Cali answered his hungry kiss with the same intensity but suddenly pulled out to catch her breath before whispering, "Your kiss¡­ It''s the same as¡­" Rui creased his forehead, thinking if Cali was starting to remember something. "What do you mean?" he asked. Cali''s face reddened, wondering if she should tell Rui about her dream with a man, but that was too embarrassing. Maybe she should just omit the lovemaking part. "I dreamt of kissing a man, but I can''t remember his face. Your kiss and his felt very similar. The feeling in that dream was the same as it''s with you right now. That man... I tried hard to think if I could remember his face, but it only gave me a severe headache when I tried." Cali narrated with a sigh of frustration. Cali was starting to recall fragments of her memories, but Rui would no longer expect that her memories would eventually come back. What was important now was Cali loved him again. "Don''t try to think about it, Cali, if it only causes you pain¡­ The past does not matter, as everything that was in the past has just gone. Just focus on the present and the future¡­" Rui stated. Then a naughty smile and grin appeared on his full lips as he teased, "Sweetheart, it''s just probable that you imagined yourself kissing me before you went to bed and so... you ended up dreaming about it explicitly. Now that we have both confessed to each other, you can do it anytime you want in reality and not just dream about it. My lips are all yours, Cali." Chapter 538 - Genuine And Everlasting Cali''s face reddened. How much more shamelessly he would dare to talk if she had ended up telling Rui about the love-making part in that dream too? Cali trembled with the amount of shameless things he would blabber in front of her then. She crumpled her face and gently hit his chest as she beamed, "Stop teasing me!" Rui laughed when Cali crumpled her face with annoyance at his teasing. He looked at her closely and exhaled a sigh of relief. "We should remember what date it is today, when we two are officially engaged!" he declared with a grin. Rapidly blinking her eyes, Cali asked, "Engaged?" "Yeah. Because for me, you will be the first and last woman in my life. My only woman, with whom I intend to be with for the rest of my life. Well, it''s just me and I will not push you to feel the same way. Just enjoy our time together and do whatever you want to do while I stay by your side, Cali. And when you feel like you don''t like me anymore then¡­" Cali''s brows furrowed, and she covered his mouth with her palm, saying, "Stop that. We are just starting our relationship and you''re already talking and thinking about not liking each other anymore¡­ I think you''re just hungry and that''s making you overthink. Let''s go out and eat dinner instead of talking." Cali stood up and pulled Rui outside of her room. Rui clasped her hand, intertwining their fingers together as they walked out. Rui pampered Cali all through their dinner, so much so that he even started to feed her. He wanted to pamper and spoil her without any hesitation now. He finally did not have to hold back his feelings anymore. "Stop that. I''m not sick, I can feed myself. Focus on your food instead." Cali mumbled with blushing cheeks. Instead of sitting opposite to her. Rui was beside her and moved his chair a little more closer. "What are you going to do, after dinner?" Rui asked. "Watch the television?" Cali said chuckling. "Do you want to go out and stroll around?" Rui suggested. He wanted to bring Cali to one of the nice places he searched to go at for a date. "I''m actually not in the mood to go out now. Let''s just stay at home for now. How about we stay in, watch some movies together and have some snacks until we feel sleepy and tired?" Cali suggested and Rui agreed. "By the way, I already dismissed Dr. Chen and Selya because I prefer being alone with you so we can bond and enjoy each other''s company more." Rui casually said. Cali''s face turned red because she was suddenly thinking of the kind of intimate moments the two of them could share while being alone at home. She shook her head to erase her naughty thoughts and wondered if Rui also had the same thoughts when he was dismissing the others. "What are you thinking?" Rui asked when he noticed her deep in thought. Cali gave him a timid smile as she answered, "Secret." Rui pinched her nose and asked, "Hmm, tell me or I won''t be able to sleep." "Okay, later I will, but let''s finish our dinner first," Cali mumbled, grinning. She would never tell him that dream, ever, or she would end up getting teased nonstop. Rui was smiling brightly and ate his food heartily while his mind was busy thinking of excuses about how he could convince Cali to sleep on the same bed. He planned to do nothing but cuddle her like last night. He just wanted to feel her warmth. But then he knew he should take things slowly because, for Cali, everything would be her first time. After all, she had no recollection of her past. Before, in the past he did not have the opportunity to court Cali since their relationship moved so fast with them being engaged and having an arranged marriage. So now was the time to woo her, even though they already confessed their love to each other. He wanted to solidify their relationship like how Cali did her best in sealing it before. He was aware that Cali chose him and made her way so he could notice her. Cali told him that before that she planned the arranged marriage and all because she liked him and fell in love with him the first time she saw him. Now it would be his turn to plan and do everything to strengthen what they have right now. Rui and Cali watched a romantic movie. Rui grabbed some snacks for the two of them in the living room. He also grabbed a blanket since the weather was a bit cold and he wanted Cali to be comfortable. "Come closer, let me cuddle you¡­" Rui said as he opened his arms. Cali moved closer and threw herself in his arms. Soon the movie started¡­ Rui chose the movie ''The Notebook'' since Cali had not watched it yet. Cali was too engrossed in watching it and Rui was just silently watching her. Cali''s face reddened when the movie was at the part where the main lead was making love. She could not help but recall her dream. ''I feel like I''m becoming a pervert.'' Cali mused because she again thought about it. She shook her head and diverted her focus to the movie instead. When the movie was about to end, Cali began sobbing. "Oh, they are still together even though she can''t remember him anymore¡­" Cali unconsciously muttered. "Their love for each other is very touching and inspiring. I wonder if this kind of love even exists in real life?" Cali continued, sniffing. Then she realized Rui was caressing and comforting her. Rui gently kissed her hand and whispered, "Yeah, that is genuine love, Cali, and it exists. I will do the same for you sweetheart¡­ Even if you forget me¡­ I will never leave your side and I will stay with you until we grow old together because my love for you is genuine and everlasting..."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/genuine-and-everlasting_%!d(string=49933354845393474) for visiting. Chapter 539 - Growl In Silence Rui twisted left and right on his bed, unable to fall asleep. After they watched the movie, he walked Cali back to her bedroom. He was supposed to be sleeping, but he could not sleep at all. ''Is she sleeping already?'' he wondered. Rui heaved a long sigh, and he closed his eyes. He was on cloud nine as now he could openly hug and kiss Cali¡­ But he was becoming more and more greedy as the urge of wanting her surged all over his body. He frustratingly changed his position and buried his face in the pillow. He was feeling hot, and it was merely because he got a taste of his wife after controlling himself for so long. He hurriedly jumped off his bed when he heard someone knocking on his door. He quickly rushed to open it. He saw Cali standing outside his door. With an awkward smile, she asked, "Can I sleep on your bed? I''m just somehow scared you will leave aga.." Rui didn''t even let her end her sentence and said, "Sure, come on in¡­" He was scared she would hesitate and turn around, so he quickly pulled her inside. He guided her on his bed and said, "You can sleep on this side¡­"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/growl-in-silence_%!d(string=49933358066618954) for visiting. Cali nodded and crawled onto his bed. Rui gulped because having Cali on the same bed as his would be a pure torture, given how aroused he was feeling at that moment. "Maybe I should sleep on the couch¡­" he suddenly whispered. "But I want to hug you," Cali voiced out, with a tone of annoyance. Rui gave her a hesitant smile as he walked back on the bed. ''Good luck for the night, Rui,'' his inner self mocked. As soon as he was laid on the bed, Cali immediately moved closer and brushed her soft body with his. She hugged him tightly while burying her face in his neck... "Good night, Rui¡­" she sluggishly whispered. "Good night, Cali," Rui replied with a lump in his throat. He gulped and tried hard to concentrate to sleep, but Cali''s sweet scent kept on taunting all his senses. Her soft body pressed against him was igniting the fire within himself, thus making Rui totally awake. ''Oh God, please... Calm me down just tonight?'' he pleaded because he wanted to get Cali''s full trust before moving into the next level with her to enjoy doing those intimate things. Cali moved and put her legs over him as if she was hugging a hotdog pillow. The worst part was her bare legs brushing on his h.i.p.s unintentionally. She always loved doing that because ever since Cali was the sweet, clingy type who loved touching very much. Also, when they were sleeping before, she brushed her bare legs onto his. She just loved having skin to skin contact like a kitten. But she hated being compared to a kitten, so he ended up calling her ''sweetheart''. His buddy behind his thighs was now bulging hard, but he could only growl in silence while Cali was in deep slumber and even let out little snores in his neck. Rui wanted to cry as he started counting sheep on the ceiling so he would feel sleepy. Finally, after counting a thousand sheeps, Rui yawned and entered into a slumber as he closed his eyes. ****** The next morning, Cali woke up with a bright smile on her face. She moved to hug Rui, but it was empty. That instant she opened her eyes, she quickly got up from the bed and started looking for him in his room. She couldn''t find him there¡­ So she rushed outside while her heart was palpitating hard. She was sure everything that happened last night was not just a dream, but still, she became nervous as Rui wasn''t in the room. She looked around, but could not find him, so she rushed to the kitchen¡­ Cali emitted a long deep sigh of relief as she saw Rui in his apron, cooking. She rushed towards him and hugged him from behind. "Oh, you''re awake. Good morning¡­ I was about to finish our breakfast and wake you up for your routine exercises." Rui said with a smile, feeling Cali''s tight hug from behind. "Next time, wake me up as well. Let''s get up together¡­" Cali mumbled. Rui gulped at the thought that Cali was looking forward to sleep with him every day. ''Isn''t that what you wanted?'' his inner self questioned. Yeah, it was, but now he had realized Cali''s effect on his body and that he could no longer control himself anymore. He would soon reach his limit. "I thought you''d leave again¡­" Cali murmured. Rui turned off the stove and turned around to face Cali. He cupped her face and murmured, "I told you¡­ I will stay with you always. Now go do your routine exercise. We skipped classes yesterday and let''s not skip them today¡­" Cali gave him a bright smile as she nodded. Rui let her go and she was about to leave, but suddenly rushed back to give Rui a quick peck on his lips before running outside. Rui chuckled¡­ She was back¡­ His morning kiss was back, and it felt so good. Cali on the other hand gently patted her cheeks because she was aware of how much red they were at that moment. She was so inspired as she began with her routine exercises. She was too giddy because she slept with Rui in his room. "I like cuddling him more than my big teddy bear. From now on I will sleep in his room¡­" she innocently murmured, followed by a squeal. She felt so relaxed in his arms that she slept so peacefully last night and the other night. Then she paused, wondering if she should also inform her nanny Shine and grandpa how Rui and her relationship had leveled up. "They would probably feel delighted," she beamed, recalling how nanny Shine almost sold her private doctor to herself before, without even letting her know who it would be. Her grandfather seemed to trust Rui so much as well, so Cali thought both would definitely approve of her relationship with Rui. "What a great and fine day¡­" she burst, opening her arms wide, letting the cold breeze and sunlight touch her refreshing face. Chapter 540 - Brighter Than The Sun At Country D, Yang Mansion "Darling!!! Darling!!!" Xander rushed excitedly towards Yera, who replied to him back with a glare. Xander immediately zipped his mouth after he saw the triplets were sleeping beside her. Yera very carefully moved from the bed and put the grills up on the sides of the bed, trying her best to not make a sound. She hurriedly pulled Xander out of the room and asked, "What''s with shouting there like a maniac?" "Rui did it!" Xander burst. Yera''s eyes bulged out as the couple excitedly jumped holding each other''s hands. "Oh, God¡­ I''m so happy for Rui!" Yera cried out because both she and Xander had witnessed how Rui suffered when Cali stopped recognizing him. "They are now officially in a relationship. I knew Rui could pull it through, plus my advice to him was so effective¡­" Xander boasted. Yera shook her head and asked, "So are we now traveling there to bug those two?" "Hell yeah. We need some vacation too, darling¡­" Xander muttered with a meaningful grin. Yera shook her head thinking how her husband had been asking her for a vacation repeatedly. "Okay. I want to personally congratulate Rui for his perseverance and I''m sure you miss him so much already, so let''s just have a week''s vacation in country A." Yera stated and her husband enthusiastically hugged her and then showered her face with kisses. "I will tell Ron to prepare our flight in two days¡­" Xander giddily said. Finally, he could have some private time with his dear wife. Ever since she gave birth, both of them got so busy taking care of the triplet that he could not even have a single night with her, since the triplets would always call out by crying for them whenever they were spending time together. "Alright. Let''s bring the triplets¡­" Yera intentionally said with a serious face, looking intently at how her husband would react. "What?!" Xander burst. "Why? You don''t want to bring our triplets?" Yera murmured with raised eyebrows. Xander scratched his head and snorted, "Of course I would love to bring the triplets as well, just that we will not have enough time again to be more intimate..." Yera tried her best to control her laughter, seeing the dropped shoulders of her husband with his conflicted emotions. Of course, he wished to bring the triplets with them too, but she could understand her husband''s dilemma on why he would love for them to go alone this time. It had been a while since they last spent some quality time together that they could not even go on simple dates the past few days except for the three days vacation at their villa when the triplets had turned one. "Darling, it''s just a prank¡­" Yera beamed, laughing. Xander pouted his lips and was about to grab his wife when the speaker outside cried out, "mama mama mama¡­ dada dada¡­" "Oh, the triplets are awake," Yera murmured and rushed back inside the room. Xander heaved a sigh because the triplets did have peculiar timings to call them. ****** At Country A. Rui and Cali had just finished eating lunch together at the school canteen. "I wonder why Prof. Candice is absent today," Cali casually commented. "I can call her if you want to know¡­" Rui teased with a grin. "Don''t you dare!" Cali grunted with pursed lips. "Well, her reliever said it''s a personal matter. But don''t you prefer the reliever instead of Candice?" Rui teased again. "If you don''t stop, I will not sleep with you tonight!" Cali threatened, though she was not sure if it was effective. Rui hesitated because he was feeling torn. Half of him wanted for Cali to sleep with him on the same bed, but half of him did not want it just because it was a torment as well. ''Should I continue teasing her?'' Rui mused but chose not to since having her on his bed weighed more importance in his system. Rui intently stared at her and sincerely stated, "Okay, I will now stop because I want to wake up every morning seeing your face that''s brighter than the sun.. That I feel so blessed having such a beautiful lady sleeping beside me. I will now zip my mouth because I want you to sleep with me every day without a miss." Cali''s face turned rosy pink and she tried to hide it by mumbling, "Hurry up.. We still have to change our clothes for cooking¡­" Rui chuckled, enjoying the blush over his wife''s face by his words. And yet he thought this day would be too impossible to come. Rui felt really grateful that Cali''s heart still beat for him. Now he truly believed in fate because he and Cali were fated together no matter what would come through their way. He would still persevere¡­ to fight for her. "Stop that¡­" Cali timidly whispered, noticing how Rui was staring closely at her. "I can''t. You''re so beautiful." Rui muttered with an adoring smile. ***** Soon, they left the canteen and separated ways since they had to go to their locker rooms to change. Cali opened up her locker and creased her forehead, seeing a black rose inside. "Who put this rose in here? Is this some kind of prank?" Cali mumbled with a crumpled face as she looked around.

She checked her lock and wondered who unlocked it because it had a code and besides the room was for women only, the locker room for women. Cali bit her lip as she grabbed the rose and put it inside her bag. Later she would report this to the management and demand for the culprit! How dare that person open her locker! She couldn''t help but be bugged and get worried by it. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 541 - Do You Trust Me Cali was in deep thought in the middle of cooking, thinking if she should tell him about the black rose. "What''s wrong? You look restless. Is everything alright between you and that old man?" Edward commented, noticing Cali was spacing out. Cali glared at him and then smiled helplessly and replied, "Oh nothing. Just that I''m feeling a little sleepy. And... he is not an old man!" Edward only shrugged his shoulders. Cali could tell that he was a sporty person since his attitude remained the same with her and Rui, with the same friendly and approachable personality. The only difference was that he started teasing her about Rui every now and then. Suddenly Kane crossed her mind so she made a note in her mind to call and ask Shane later how he was doing. How she suddenly hoped Kane too had that kind of personality where he would remain as he was before that episode. The class soon ended, and Rui immediately held Cali''s hand. "Where do you want to go? It''s still early¡­" Rui enthusiastically commented as soon as they came out of the class. Cali decided to tell Rui everything and heaved a long sigh and uttered, "I will go to the admin to report about something first." Rui stopped in his tracks and looked keenly at her as he asked, "What happened?" Cali then told him about the black rose that she found inside her locker, and that her locker was not broken either. Rui was so devastated and worried that he not only accompanied her but he himself managed everything about the complaint. The security of the school immediately checked the CCTV footage, and it surprised all of them that the CCTV of that specific area was broken, so there was no recording found at all for that particular day. Rui immediately made a police report and escalated the matter, while he tried to contact Candice several times as he remembered what she told him. He cursed because Candice''s number could not be reached. They finished reporting, and the police promised that they would look into the matter immediately. The school also implemented strict security because of the incident.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/do-you-trust-me_%!d(string=49933364509077965) for visiting. Rui and Cali went straight back home afterward. It was rather a mentally tiring day for them. "I will assign a security team for you," Rui informed. "Is that necessary? I mean, it could be just an admirer like what others said¡­" Cali murmured. "No, Cali! No sane person would sneak inside someone''s locker, and how can you explain how that person even unlocked and put back the lock on your locker?" Rui said in a worried tone. He was restless and dead worried. That was also the reason why the police would take action on the matter and why the school would implement tight security. Rui sighed and continued dialing Candice''s number on his mobile phone. He wished he could get some information from her and would be able to find out the mystery behind the black rose. What worried him the most was that Cali was involved in some matters that he had no control on. Cali, on the other hand, felt irritated to her core seeing Rui trying to call Candice over and over again and more so because he did not tell her yet why he needed to desperately talk to Candice. "Why do you keep calling Candice? Isn''t her phone switched off?" Cali could not help but bark. Rui looked at her and finally noticed her crumpled face. He realised Cali was not aware of so many things. Also that she was too jealous of Candice and probably hated her deeply for trying to snatch him away. Another silent curse came but from him because he did not know how he would explain everything to Cali. He was too busy trying to contact Candice because he knew only Candice could answer his questions now. Candice knew about that black rose, she had warned him beforehand. Rui gave Cali an awkward smile and then sat beside her on the couch. He lovingly held her hand and looked deeply into Cali''s eyes and asked, "Do you trust me, sweetheart?" Cali nodded with pouty lips. Rui chuckled and said, "It''s an assuring answer¡­" Cali shrugged her shoulders and mumbled, "Of course I trust you but I want to know everything and I don''t want to be kept in the dark. Was it such a hard question to answer? Why do you keep calling Candice?" Rui exhaled loudly. It was frustrating, but then it would be better to tell Cali. "Candice told me before to inform her in case you receive a black rose¡­" Rui stated. Cali''s eyes rounded, with her palm covering her mouth, she burst, "What if it''s Candice? OMG like in movies.... She must be having so much hate towards me and might be she is starting to scare me like this, then frame some stalker for all this? Then, she tells you all that beforehand so that she won''t look like the culprit? And to make her plan more foolproof she took an off from the school today!" Rui wanted to burst out laughing at how Cali''s mind was actively analyzing things. Oh, it''s more complicated now because there were certain things that he himself could not explain as well, but all he knew was Candice was a good person and would always side with the good and not with the bad. He also heard that she saved Xander and Yera several times. She was assigned with some kind of mission that was why she was there in the university according to Xander, so if he was right, all that Candice was involved in must also involve that black rose. His thoughts were interrupted when Cali clapped her hands before his face as she scoffed, "Hey, wake up! You''re spacing out! Lost in dreaming about that extremely beautiful villain?" Cali looked displeased, and Rui wanted to laugh out loud hearing her words but was still having a hard time thinking how he could explain things to her in a lighter way. "Cali, Candice is not like that. You have a wrong impression of her because of me¡­" Rui stated and another silent curse came, seeing how Cali frowned at him. Chapter 542 - Would Cali Feel The Difference? Rui did not know how to put everything into words by not making Cali furious over it, but all he knew was that he should clear things about Candice at that moment, so he continued to explain further. "The truth is Candice is not following me around and she had never been interested in me. I only asked her to help me out to make you jealous for you to realize what I am to you¡­ I wanted to know and see what I am to you, Cali¡­" Now Cali had a conflicted look on her face and Rui could tell she had mixed emotions about everything that happened. Rui immediately wrapped her in his arms and hugged her closely and whispered, "I''m really sorry for behaving that way back then, sweetheart. But please understand I was too desperate at that time, you know, I was scared that you would run away from me like how you did with Kane if I just told you how I felt directly. I had to make you realise your feelings for me and wanted to make sure you felt the pang of jealousy to understand your love for me¡­ And I did all this not because I wanted to be sure of having you but because I was really scared of losing you. So I had to plan out everything meticulously and not blurt out my feelings without proper planning." "So Candice is just a simple friend and there was nothing going on between you two before? She''s not your stalker?" Cali clarified. Rui gently released her so he could look into her eyes as he said, "There is nothing between us at all. There had never been anything ever." Then he realized the possibility of Cali asking about the past love he mentioned to her when they started interacting, so he added, "Can we please not bring up the past now because I believe it doesn''t matter anymore since you''re my present and my future¡­" He leaned closer to give her a gentle and loving kiss on her lips while he whispered, "I love you, sweetheart." Cali wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in between his kissing, "I love you too¡­" The kiss between them soon progressed from hot and became more intense and deeper. Cali unknowingly clung more intimately on Rui because she wanted more from him, her body was asking for more, she didn''t know what but without her knowing that she needed something more from him. She even turned her body a little and sat on his lap in a comfortable position while they kissed intimately, deeply and started losing themselves. Rui was like a volcano ready to erupt and lose control as Cali started moving her body, brushing herself on his sensitive areas, making him regret letting her sit on his lap. And before he lost it, he gently pushed Cali away and whispered, "Let''s stop now or I won''t be able to stop if we continue any further¡­" Cali looked at him, complaining with misty eyes. She was thirsty for his closeness and suddenly the dream she had that night resurfaced in her memory and she knew she just did not want him to stop. She liked being intimate with him so much that she could feel all her nerves were getting activated and alive. She ignored his words and leaned closer as she cupped his face and pressed her lips on his and kissed him deeply again. Why does he want her to stop when she still wanted to continue until she got satisfied. Rui could feel the tightening of his stomach with Cali''s stubbornness. She was torturing him with her demanding tongue, licking and sucking his lips, then slipping inside to challenge his tongue. Rui inwardly cursed because he could no longer control himself as his hand started to touch her body. Cali m.o.a.ned because Rui''s every touch brought a familiar burning sensation through her body.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/would-cali-feel-the-difference_%!d(string=49933367713529187) for visiting. She did the same and touched him on his thighs taking her hands up to his chest and she felt she could never get enough and yet to feel him properly she pulled his shirt up to feel the warmth of his chest and caressed his taut muscles. Rui growled with that bold action of Cali. All inhibitions left his body the moment she touched his chest and because he had been dreaming of that all this while. His hands became more aggressive as it slipped inside Cali''s sleepwear. "Cali¡­" Rui whispered in shock when Cali, on her own, suddenly removed her upper clothes. Realizing what she did, Cali suddenly covered her bare bosom with her hands. Shocked on how her hands were acting on and doing everything on instinct, Cali timidly defended, "It should be my first time doing it¡­" ''What''s wrong with me? Rui may think I''ve done it before?'' she embarrassingly mused. Her body seemed to be having its own mind that it was doing things that were really shocking to her. Since when did she become as bold as this? She was totally inexperienced, so she felt confused. She somehow just did not want Rui to have a bad impression of her. Rui had that roguish grin because he could perfectly read what was going into Cali''s mind at that moment, so he pulled her to his embrace softly while he caressed her back. "Yeah, it''s alright, it''s a basic instinct of your body to react and be aggressive especially with the man you love¡­ it''s natural sweetheart so no need to explain anything," he whispered with a loving smile. His innocent wife. How he missed her naiveness like this, that looked too adorable and loveable to him. Then he realized Cali probably thought she was still a v.i.r.g.i.n. What if they came to that point where they would make love? Would Cali feel the difference? Rui unconsciously crumpled his face because it would be a problem and how should he explain it to her. ''Maybe I should just take her slowly towards her orgasm and use only my finger first to not make her overthink?'' he mused, still hoping it could be a convincing alibi to Cali later why there was no more pain during her first time? Chapter 543 - Isn’t It Supposed To Go Inside Me?* [Chapter can be explicit to your taste.] Rui started kissing her neck as he went up to her jaw, then lips. He wanted to give her immense pleasure tonight, with just a little bit of poking inside her with his fingers, so later he could use it as an alibi if she asked why there was no pain anymore once they made love because they would eventually do make love, but he just wanted to delay it. Cali released sweet little m.o.a.ns as Rui cupped her b.r.e.a.s.ts and gently squeezed them alternately while his fingers played on her n.i.p.p.l.es. His kiss went back to her neck, collarbone, then chests, making her body arch back as she felt the intense pleasure of his rough touch. Another m.o.a.n escaped her lips when she felt his tongue make its swirling movement on one of her n.i.p.p.l.es. It felt so good and so familiar, especially the way he sucked her a.r.e.o.l.as and almost fed on them. She didn''t want him to stop! "Rui¡­" she called when she felt his hand slipped on her shorts and her panty while he continued in giving his mouth''s attention to both her n.i.p.p.l.es alternately. Rui felt how wet she was, and it aroused him more. He caressed her lips between her thighs with his fingers, trailing its line back and forth before he gently inserted a finger inside her wet and demanding alley. She m.o.a.ned with pleasure and her m.o.a.ns were like music to his ears, making him drip wet with his pre-c.u.m. He immediately removed Cali''s short and panty, put her down on the couch and bent down in between her legs. Before Cali could utter a word and ask Rui what he was going to do, she felt his breath and lips nuzzled her most sensitive part. "Ahhh¡­" she almost screamed in pleasure as her body shivered because Rui''s tongue was licking her there while his hand continued moving and thrusting his fingers inside her. He was sucking her clit and Cali threw her head back while her hands dug into his head holding a bunch of his hair in her hands. She could feel something building inside her body, a pleasure that she had never felt before, as if something was ready to explode within her, as Rui sped up the thrusts of his hand and increased the pace of constant rubbing from his fingers. A few moments later her body jolted and she screamed his name loudly, exploding in a mind blowing orgasm as she trembled before him. Rui was on top of her, brushing himself against her as he kissed her. Soon she heard him groan while biting her shoulders. Cali felt confused because somehow she thought something was missing. "Isn''t it supposed to go inside me? Did you already release it that way?" she unconsciously voiced out, startled again with her own words. Since when did she become so aware of such things. "I will, sweetheart, but not now, not yet¡­" Rui whispered with a chuckle. ****** The next morning, Cali woke up without Rui on her side again. She sat and stretched her arms, then cupped her face as she felt bashful recalling what they did last night. Rui explained that what they did was the first base only, so she wondered how pleasurable it could be once they did the whole thing. She then thought to return the favor to Rui so she would later search the internet and watch a video so she also could give him the same pleasure. She suddenly creased her forehead and whispered, "Why do I have a feeling that I did the same planning before?" Cali shook her head because it would definitely be her first time to watch sensitive videos and search for something like that. She quickly stood up to get out for her routine exercise. Rui was probably cooking again for their breakfast. Rui was finished with cooking the breakfast and tried to call Candice again, but still with no avail. He even left so many text messages for her. "What happened to you?" he murmured as he started to get worried as well for Candice. He wondered if he should start informing Xander with what was going on. Xander somehow got connected with Candice''s clan, but then he dismissed the idea because Candice''s work could be confidential as well to her clan? Rui impatiently washed his face with his palm. He already used Ralph''s security team to make sure to check the matter. So right now all they needed to do was wait.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/isn%E2%80%99t-it-supposed-to-go-inside-me-*_%!d(string=49933371471625621) for visiting. They still reported back to school and Rui was hoping Candice was present but she was not and there was only a reliever for her absence. Rui did not leave Cali''s side and stuck with her the whole day. He also exchanged seats with Edward so he could sit beside her. "Candice is absent again," Cali commented while they were having lunch inside the canteen. Rui heaved a deep sigh and said, "yeah¡­ I hope she''s fine though." Cali did not comment. Rui already explained to her the real deal between them so she no longer felt too sour when Rui would mention her like now. She trusted Rui so she no longer pondered about Candice and her connection to that black rose. At first she was scared but then Rui was by her side so she felt safe and so secured. "By the way, we will soon have some guests at our place." Rui started with a smile because last night Xander informed him about his plan. "Who?" Cali asked. "My brother and his wife." Rui said. "You have a brother?" Cali burst and then she realized she knew only a few things about Rui. Rui nodded as he explained his relationship with Xander. Cali nodded in understanding but then asked more questions about his family as she whispered, "I hope I can meet them. Even if your relationship with them is a little complicated, I would still love to meet your family..." "Yes, once we are back at country D. I will definitely introduce you to them." He said with a faint smile. Chapter 544 - In-Laws Were The Best Xander was feeling very excited. They were currently on a private plane going to Rui. It had been a while since they met Rui and Cali because of the surgery and everything. "Darling, do you think Cali will recognize us? It will be the first time she sees us post the surgery." Xander commented as he shared lunch with his wife in their luxury cabin. They intentionally did not show themselves to Cali during her period of recovery. It was only Dion who was there since Cali already saw him the moment she opened her eyes. But Yera did not fail in monitoring Cali''s condition through Dion and assisted her brother as much as she could. "She won''t¡­ But we will somehow look familiar. I''m not even sure if it will be good for Cali to regain her memory. The possibility of episodes of severe headache would be very high if that happens." Yera pointed out. Cali was a very rare special case. She, who did not believe in miracles before, somehow considered Cali''s case a miracle given Cali could still manage to live like a normal person because in most cases, the patient would have severe complications and parts of the body would stop functioning normally.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/in-laws-were-the-best_%!d(string=50023755853914971) for visiting. With Cali, everything was back to normal, except she lost a part of her recent memory. For Yera, that was much better than not seeing Cali with her cheerful and normal life at such a young age. That was why it was important that Cali didn''t miss her routine exercises and her physical therapy. "Oh, I''m so excited to tease Rui¡­" Xander burst and Yera shook her and murmured, "Yeah, it''s so obvious, darling. You don''t even need to voice it out, it''s way too evident from watching you smiling and chuckling on your own.." Xander laughed and suddenly pulled his wife into an embrace. "I will make sure to make the most out of our vacation so hurry up and finish your food. I will clean up first," he whispered with a grin, then gave her cheek a smacking kiss before he stood up to brush his teeth. Yera chuckled, seeing how lively and energetic her husband was for this trip. A week-long vacation and being with each other was refreshing, but she was missing her triplets so much that she wanted to immediately video call them as soon as they landed and got some signal connectivity. She was not worried though, because her father-in-law, mom Liz, and Rizie would surely look after the kids. Back in country D, at Yang mansion, Liz shook her head, watching James play with his grandchildren in the playroom. "Run, run¡­ Grandpa is here and will catch you guys soon¡­" He screamed, laughing as he ran to catch one of the triplets. Soon Rizie arrived and took a look around. "Is Ran still sleeping?" Liz asked. "Yes, mom. That boy loves sleeping way more in place of playing." Rizie complained as her eyes darted to the triplets, who were screaming while they ran away from their grandpa. "Let him. Dion was like that too when he was a baby. He loved sleeping and studying instead of mingling with other kids." Liz commented with a smile. "Now, he is too busy with work and can''t even find time for me. He loves work more than me..." Rizie complained with a crumpled face. Liz laughed and said, "Don''t worry, I will remind him not to forget spending time with his beautiful wife. Time with family is very important. I also noticed how workaholic he has become. I will give that brat a good spanking later." Family should be your priority no matter what, and Liz would remind his son about it before he totally forgot about that important thing. Rizie hugged her mother-in-law''s arm and leaned her head on her shoulders as she said, "Thanks, mom... You''re the best!" She could actually give her husband a good spanking herself, but Rizie did not want to be a nagger, and she was very grateful for living with her mother-in-law who would always do the nagging to her husband on her behalf. She felt envious of her sis Yera and bro Xander, because of the fact that those two could enjoy a vacation together. She missed those days as well, where she could spend private time with her husband. Dion always came home late and more often than not, she was already sleeping by then. He also left early for work, so much so they could barely talk in the past few weeks. She did not like the lack of communication, and so she had to do something about it quickly. Good thing her mother-in-law was always there to her rescue. Some said, living with in-laws was not a good idea but she disagreed because her in-laws were the best and she would always prefer to live with them. "I bet we will have more babies coming when those two return from their vacation," Rizie nonchalantly commented while looking at the triplets. Yera and Xander were on a vacation and it was like their second honeymoon, so there was a possibility of more babies coming... Liz chuckled at that and responded, "Well, your father is expecting that too. He even cheered for his son before the two left, saying the mansion for us alone is still too big and has a huge space for more kids running around. That old man wants a big family¡­ He honestly told me to fix a vacation for you and Dion as well once Yera and Xander come back from theirs." Rizie''s eyes rounded in excitement as she looked at her mom Liz and gasped, "Really mom?" Liz nodded. Rizie immediately ran to Senior Yang and hugged him saying thanks, and then soon she also joined him to play with the triplets. Liz had a contented smile on her face, watching the lovely and joyful scene before her. James was a very kind-hearted, family-oriented, and generous man, and he treated everyone like Dion and Rizie like his own children. She felt so lucky to come across such a great man and was too grateful for the opportunity to be his wife. She stood up from her seat to go to the kitchen and prepare some food for them because she was sure they would all get hungry after playing around. Chapter 545 - The Only Thing You Can Do Cali accompanied Rui to the airport where they would pick up Xander. "I''m excited to meet them," Cali commented since Rui said that the Yangs were like his own family and she would finally get to meet one of Rui''s closest friends, Xander, who was also brother to him. "They will be thrilled to meet you as well," Rui commented as he kissed Cali''s hand while they were inside the car. He liked it very much how Cali''s face would blush now and then with his simple gesture. Her cheeks were glowing pink, and she was so cute. "Stop that¡­" Cali muttered. "What?" Rui asked with a roguish smile. "You''re staring at me¡­" Cali beamed because she could see him from the sides of her eyes. "Can you blame me? You''re too beautiful¡­" Rui candidly expressed. Cali gently hit him on his arm and murmured, "Stop that already." Rui grinned and pulled her into his embrace instead. "Ahh this feels so nice¡­" Rui contentedly expressed, making Cali smile bashfully. Yes, it was indeed a nice feeling to be in Rui''s arms for Cali as well. The two soon arrived at the airport and as soon as Rui saw Xander, he waved his hands. Xander on the other hand rushed towards him and gave him a tight hug. Yera shook her head as she watched her husband lift Rui and swirl him around like they were some lovebirds, who finally got to see each other after a long time. She smiled seeing Cali''s mouth agape watching the two men. "They look like long-lost lovers, right? She commented as she paused beside Cali. "I''m sorry¡­" Cali whispered. Yera gave her a beautiful smile as she extended her hand for a handshake and said, "I''m Yera, Xander''s wife. I presumed you were Cali." Cali nodded with a smile and quickly accepted the handshake.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/the-only-thing-you-can-do_%!d(string=50023760400543816) for visiting. "Yes, I''m Cali¡­" she timidly answered. She paused for a while and stared at Yera. "Yes, dear?" Yera asked, wondering if Cali would recognize her. Cali shook her head and said, "I''m sorry, just that you look familiar somehow." "I heard about your condition from Rui. I''m also a doctor and my husband is one as well. Hmm, how are you feeling now? I heard you experience pain whenever you try to recall something." "Oh yeah, but I''m trying to avoid it now¡­ So whenever I feel like I need to recall a person I will automatically shift my mind into thinking something nice like the good memories I''m having now." Cali answered, with her eyes still on the two men who kept hugging each other and playing like kids. "That''s good then. Rui is doing a good job for you not to experience pain," Yera commented, presuming that Rui was applying a psychological technique on Cali so she would not experience any pain caused by the fragments of her memories coming back. "You two, stop playing already, and don''t make us stand here for too long." Yera beamed at the two men who instantly stopped bantering that instant. "Sorry, we just miss each other too much, by the way, I''m Xander¡­" Xander said with a bright smile and introduced himself to Cali. Then he immediately pulled Yera into his embrace and said in a jest, "Why darling? Are you jealous already? Don''t worry, I cannot kiss Rui like this¡­" To Cali''s surprise, Xander gave Yera a smacking kiss on her lips before her eyes, pulled his wife to walk, and passed by them with his arm on her shoulders. Rui chuckled and whispered, "Let''s go¡­ You''ll get used to their public display of affection soon¡­" Cali watched the couple before her. The two would live with them during their vacation, and she was grateful to meet them. She felt Rui''s hand grab hers. She looked at him. Rui winked, and she smiled back. They went directly home. Cali and Yera bonded in the kitchen while preparing dinner while Rui and Xander had some drinks at the veranda. "Any word from Candice?" Rui asked. "Nothing so far. But I already contacted her right hand and most trusted man. He told me not to worry because Candice will ensure Cali''s safety. All you have to do is not to do anything drastic. So for now, the best thing to do is act as if nothing happened." Xander commented. "That''s too easy to say¡­ You know I can''t afford anything bad to happen at Cali at this point, Xander. I know they said that we are not to jeopardize Candice''s mission, but do you expect me to just stand still? I must find out who that person is and until then, I can''t just stay still..." Rui voiced out his concern and Xander could fully understand him. He patted Rui''s shoulder and added, "We are doing that already. You know that our security team is all in disguise because it''s better than putting them in a uniform and obviously better than putting them on standby to guard Cali." Rui exhaled his frustration loudly. He understood the importance of catching the culprit without causing too much fuss, but then he just could not compromise on Cali''s safety. The way Xander explained everything to him, it was suggested to make Cali a live bait since she became a target. Xander could read Rui''s thoughts so he looked at him directly and said, "Let''s face the facts, Rui¡­ Cali became the target of that psychopath whom Candice is trying to catch and we cannot change the fact. Whether we like it or not¡­ Cali is already the prey. That psycho chooses random women as targets¡­ And, unfortunately, that psycho chose a prey at that university where you and Cali were." Rui heaved another sigh full of agony. Xander already explained to him everything. That was why Candice disguised herself as a professor in that university because according to their intel, the next target was that university. "I told you already, right? How Candice works when it comes to protecting someone? I mean, you heard everything from Yera that time Candice saved her." Xander reminded Rui. "Xander, I know! I told you, I personally witnessed her killing someone by snapping his neck like it was just a rat!" Rui beamed, recalling how he even passed out after that. But still, it was Cali, so he could not just stay still without doing anything. "The only thing you can do right now Rui is to stay with Cali twenty-four seven¡­" Xander added, understanding the frustration of his friend. Chapter 546 - Spare Room "Dinner is ready," Yera said as soon as she came inside their bedroom. She saw her husband sitting on the bed with his laptop on the lap. "What''s wrong?" Yera asked, seeing the weary and serious face of her husband. Xander sighed and said, "I feel bad for Rui. I mean, he just managed to win Cali''s heart and this freaking black rose, he just happened to pick Cali as the next target. I''m checking out the incidents about this matter, but the case is highly classified and confidential..." "I''m sure Candice will solve everything soon. We don''t need to worry too much about it. Why don''t we help Rui and Cali to loosen up a bit. Later, let''s have some fun and talk about good things during dinner. Our security is everywhere, so Cali will be safe and sound here. Let''s go now and have dinner with them¡­" They were about to go out when Xander''s mobile phone rang and it was Candice. "Tell Rui to treat me to a nice meal. The case is solved, and I have nabbed the culprit." Candice said. "Oh, wait¡­ Don''t tell him. I will personally come there to break the news and join you guys for dinner. Also... I miss you a lot too, handsome Dr. CEO." Candice muttered seductively before the call ended. "Seriously?" Xander broke into a cold sweat... with a weird expression pasted on his face that made Yera burst into laughter. Candice would never back down from teasing this one-woman man. Candice was a pro in turning the peaceful life of theirs into a chaos whenever she was around. After half an hour¡­Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/spare-room_%!d(string=50023766842994849) for visiting. Candice barged inside Rui''s house and sat directly on a chair close to Xander. He suddenly stood up from his place and scurried away to sit near his possessive wife, who had her eyes pointed at him every time. Xander then inhaled deeply and opened his mouth to ask her what happened, but Candice simply raised her hand and said, "No talking while I eat. I''m gonna start eating now and whoever talks in between¡­ will face my wrath!!" He instantly closed his mouth and gulped his words back down his throat! This devil was really scary when she was in a foul mood. There was only silence spread at Rui''s long table as everyone was watching Candice eat like she was starving for months. Rui shook his head helplessly. If he remembered correctly, Candice was gone for three days. Did she starve for all those three days? Cali, on the other hand, was the only person who felt so perplexed by the situation. So, all of them were connected to Candice? Xander and Yera as well? Because it looked like everyone knew each other for a long time already. Finally, Candice finished eating and drank several glasses of water before she looked at Rui and said slowly, "Edward¡­ It was Edward¡­" "What?!" Both Cali and Rui yelled in chorus as they couldn''t hide their shock. "Yeah¡­ Don''t worry. He won''t be a danger to you anymore, as I have already taken care of him." Candice said to Cali. Then she turned her head, looked at Rui, and asked innocently, "Do you have a spare room for me to sleep?" "What?!" This time it was Xander and Rui who yelled in chorus with a shocked look plastered all over their faces. "What? Are you two deaf?!" Candice impatiently grunted, making Rui and Xander both shut their mouth to avoid annoying her. Cali looked at Yera, who signaled her to concentrate on eating. Rui cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I have one room¡­ I will have it ready for you for the night." Candice''s eyebrows lifted as she murmured, "But I''m not staying only for the night. You owe me, you know¡­ I don''t want to return to country V yet, so let me hide here for a while." "What''s going on? Is there a problem?" Xander asked with knitted brows. Candice pouted her lips and looked both at Yera and Cali as she mumbled, "Please let me stay in your house for now? I promise I will behave and will definitely not crawl on the bed of either of your men at night¡­" Cali''s face reddened while Yera ended up bursting into a fit of laughter. Yera was already used to Candice''s playful personality and language, so it was nothing new to her. She was just like that. She loved to act like she was an antagonist in some movies, but in reality, this woman had a golden heart. "Candice¡­ You have a den all over the world! What''s wrong with you? Can''t you see that we are both couples staying here who want some privacy?" Xander chided her. "But, it''s the only place he can''t enter¡­ Anyway, it''s okay if you don''t want me to stay here. I shall probably look for a more suitable place and hide there¡­" Candice murmured with a pouty face and dropped shoulders. Yera chuckled and said, "I''m sure Rui and Cali won''t mind you staying here for a few days." "Yeah, it''s okay. Besides, you helped us out, although I''m still a bit confused about what is going on. I''m in awe, to be honest. Why would Edward do that? Was it because I rejected him?" Cali asked out of curiosity. "Hmm, no, it wasn''t about that, but it''s quite a complicated story. I heard it''s not good for you to think too much. I suggest you not to worry anymore. Edward is now in the custody and it''s where he should belong. It''s not about you rejecting him. He''s just a psycho." Candice explained nonchalantly. The evening went well and Rui went back to his room as soon as he showed Candice the room she could use. Meanwhile, Cali was in a dilemma walking from one corner to another inside her own room. She wondered if it would be okay for her to crossover to Rui''s room to sleep at night. She suddenly felt shy because Xander and Yera were married, so it was natural for them to sleep together, but she and Rui were just in a relationship. She suddenly became conscious of what Rui''s friends would think of her if they found out that she often slept with Rui. "They will probably think I''m too easy¡­" she whispered to herself as she laid down on her bed lazily and tried to go to sleep. She was starting to doze off when she almost jumped on her bed because she heard someone knocking on her door. Chapter 547 - A Sister When Cali heard the knocking on her door, she sprinted and immediately opened the door thinking it was Rui. But when she saw the person standing outside her door, her shoulders dropped. Candice was standing outside her door with her pillow in her hands. "Are you disappointed to see me here? Am I not the one you were expecting to see?" Candice teased with her beautiful smile. Cali''s face blushed as she defended, "No¡­ I mean, I''m just surprised to see you at my door." "Hmm, Can I sleep with you please? I swear I don''t snore." Candice said and without waiting for her reply, walked past her and went inside Cali''s room instantly. "I wanted to disturb Yera instead, but Dr. CEO shunned me away because they are practically on their second honeymoon more than a vacation and he wants to utilize all this time to make more babies, so¡­ I''m here bugging you instead," Candice added. She turned around to face Cali and with a beautiful smile blooming on her face, she asked, "Sorry about it, but I don''t want to sleep alone¡­ Do you mind?" "I don''t mind¡­" Cali ended up saying in a whisper.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/a-sister_%!d(string=50023771406397692) for visiting. Candice then comfortably laid her body on Cali''s bed. Cali soon joined her, still feeling a little awkward with her presence. Candice slowly turned around to face her and started talking. "Cali¡­ I might stick with you for a few days. Will that be fine with you?" Cali heard Candice softly whispering to her. "Huh? But why?" she asked, confused by such docile and sweet behaviour of the seductive professor who made her burn in jealousy just a few days ago. "Hmm, nothing, just that I want to know the feeling of having a sister around me. Can we pretend to be sisters just for a few days?" Candice asked with a dazzling smile that could warm anyone''s heart. Cali only nodded. For some reason, she felt that Candice''s smile had some kind of magic and it was so captivating that it was very hard for anyone to say ''no'' to all her demands. Meanwhile, Rui looked at the clock and whispered, "Why is she not here yet?" He grabbed his mobile phone and typed a message to Cali. [In how much time are you coming over?] Usually, Cali would knock at his room by that hour to sleep with him. ''How come she''s so late today?'' he mused. He felt incomplete without her kisses and hugs. He didn''t want to return to his lonely days again. His mobile phone beeped, so he quickly looked at her reply. [Candice is in my room. She wants to sleep here with me. She said she doesn''t want to sleep alone.] "What the heck?!" he burst after reading Cali''s reply. Seriously, Candice would be the death of him! "She even tried to prove herself innocent by saying that she will not crawl into my bed, but the mischievous brain that she has can not stay still. She had to crawl to Cali''s bed instead!" he snorted with a twitched face. He knew that Candice would find fun in bullying either him or Xander because that was the woman''s habit! To bully people around her and enjoy their irritated faces! Rui felt annoyed as he looked at his empty and cold bed. "Don''t tell me she plans on sleeping with her the entire time she will stay here?!" he worriedly snarled. Candice did not mention how long she was planning to stay there, and Rui suddenly started praying it would not take too long before she leaves. He heaved a deep frustrated sigh before typing another message for Cali. Back at Cali''s room, Cali bit her lips as she read Rui''s message. [Alright. Goodnight and sleep well, sweetheart. I love you.] She could not help but smile alone and quietly squeal. "How long have you both been together? You and Rui?" she heard Candice ask. Cali turned at her and saw her staring at the ceiling. "Not too long. I mean, we became official just recently. More than a week." Cali timidly answered. "How did you know he''s the one? The right one for you?" Candice asked next. Cali smiled as she also moved to lie on her back and stared at the ceiling before she whispered, "I honestly don''t know, but I guess you just feel it suddenly. The feeling of security and warmth in his arms. The feeling where you can picture your lifetime with him..." Cali was about to say more, but Candice suddenly yawned loudly and murmured, "Sorry, I feel sleepy. I guess¡­ I''m the only complicated one who thinks love is lethal. But I''m happy for you, Cali. Let''s sleep already. Tomorrow is a long day ahead for sure." "Yeah sleep well." Cali whispered. After a few more minutes, she felt that Candice was already deep asleep. She quietly and carefully got up from the bed to go to Rui''s room but froze in her tracks when she heard Candice mutter, "Come back and sleep here, don''t leave me... " "Yes, I will come back. I''ll just drink some hot milk and be back soon." Cali informed with twisted lips. She immediately ran out and knocked at Rui''s door. Rui was shocked to see her standing there outside his door. "I need to go back soon. I just came to kiss you goodnight." Cali bashfully said and before Rui could comment, Cali quickly tiptoed and gave him a small kiss on his lips. "Goodnight." Cali muttered with her sweetest smile and instantly turned around to go back to her room. Rui had a roguish smile on his face as he stayed there leaning on the doorway, just staring at the jumping woman entering the adjacent door. "So cute," Rui whispered before he turned around to go back to his own room. Cali on the other hand was grinning with joy as she went back inside. "So fast?" Candice sluggishly commented. "Yeah I changed my mind, I don''t want to drink milk now. I will better sleep¡­" Cali murmured and immediately went back to bed with Candice. Chapter 548 - Do I Have Any Choice? The next morning, Candice was already awake when Cali woke up. "Good morning. I hope you slept well¡­" Candice commented with a bright smile. Cali turned and saw her sitting on the couch as if she was there guarding her. "How long have you been watching me from there?" Cali mumbled as she rose up from the bed. Candice chuckled and stood up as well. "I see you have a sharp instinct," Candice commented while she walked up to Cali''s balcony. "I think you should swap with my room, Cali. That one has no balcony. This balcony is not safe¡­" Candice whispered. Cali yawned and stretched her arms to feel the cold breeze. "Ahh, I like this room. I can see the sunrise better from here." Cali commented but then she realized something when she replayed Candice''s words in her mind, so she looked at her with a worried face. Candice exhaled loudly then looked at her and said, "Yeah¡­ It''s not over yet, Cali. I lied to Rui to appease him because I know he will do anything¡­ Possibly take drastic measures to protect you. I can''t afford any loose ends in this case Cali, and so I will need your help or else Rui will end up jeopardizing everything, even your safety, without him knowing or realizing." Cali gulped and whispered, "Rui did not actually explain anything to me and just told me to trust him about you when I asked what you are really and why you are involved with that black rose thing. Honestly, I wouldn''t get alarmed if someone just left that on my desk or anything, but someone managed to unlock my locker, put it there, and even locked it back." "You don''t have to know anything, Cali because the matter is confidential. But it is true that your life is in danger and I''m the best person who can protect you in the meantime. That''s why I said that I have to stick with you like a leach for almost all the time, twenty-four seven." Candice explained. "Isn''t it better to involve the police in this case?" Cali suggested. Candice turned to her, looked directly into her eyes then firmly stated, "The police can''t do anything about it. As I''ve said already, it''s a highly confidential matter but I will assure your safety as long as you do as I say." Cali closed her eyes and inhaled the fresh air then released some air before she looked at Candice and asked, "Do I have any choice?" Candice winked at her and said, "No you don''t¡­ Do your physical therapy first and then let''s have breakfast sis¡­" Then she suddenly shook her body and with a crumpled face complained, "I''m not used to calling anyone as ''sis''. I''ll just stick to calling you Cali." Cali laughed and said, "I assume you are some sort of an agent? Like in movies¡­ Secret agent from the government?" Candice laughed out loud, smiled a cynical smile, and said, "No baby¡­ I''m a hunter." Cali looked more confused so Candice added, "Yeah, well you can say that I''m sort of like that, a secret agent. That''s more of a befitting term, I guess." Their talking was interrupted by the ringing of Cali''s mobile phone so Candice teased, "Go out now. I''m sure the bf misses you so much." Cali''s face blushed and whispered, "Alright I will go out first and do my routine with Rui." Candice nodded. From her direction, she could see Xander with Yera doing some running. She would never understand why Xander would choose to live a normal life than gain the power he rightfully owned but then seeing him looking happy while bantering with his wife, Candice, whispered, "I guess everything is worth it¡­" "Ahh¡­ It''s time to get to work and hunt!" Candice mumbled and walked back to her room to get all her things and to start doing her work at Rui''s reminisce. Edward was still on the loose and Cali was marked as next prey so the bastard would surely attack her when they would least expect him to. The only good thing with the kinds of Edward was that they did their attacks with composure, in ways where they would not attract too many people, in order to hide their identities well. Meanwhile, Xander stopped running and started to rest on the nearest bench. Yera followed him. "I saw Candice and Cali at their balcony talking seriously. Something is weird¡­" he commented as he tried to calm his breath. "What do you mean weird?" Yera asked. "Hmm, just that¡­ Oh, maybe I''m just thinking too much. Candice loves to bully people, so she''s probably just here to bully. By the way¡­ Where do you want to go first, darling?" Xander changed the topic since he recalled he was there to enjoy and have fun with his wife. "Let''s go to that famous museum," Yera mumbled. Xander put his arm on her shoulders and pulled his wife closer to him. "To be honest¡­ I prefer staying in just one place, you see¡­ How about we stay inside our room for the whole day? You see I miss it a lot, having you only for myself." Xander teasingly whispered in his wife''s ear. "Xander Yang! Don''t tell me you are jealous of your triplets?!" Yera gawked in disbelief. Well, it was true that their triplets were sleeping with them since they were born, though. Xander chuckled and added, "Yeah I am. Imagine¡­ They are the only ones who get to feed everyday¡­"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/do-i-have-any-choice_%!d(string=50023844420830637) for visiting. "Yeah, and you make my n.i.p.p.l.es swell the whole night!" Yera snapped, making Xander grin mischievously. "Darling, can you blame your husband, huh? Let me make your body swell all over for this vacation..." he whispered teasingly. "But I want to look around in the morning¡­" Yera insisted. "Alright. Let''s have a curfew for strolling around. We do it from morning till noon and then go straight home afterward, every other day. I will send our itinerary for the whole vacation to you. You see I already planned it all out." Xander explained with a grin. "You sure will make the most out of it, huh?" Yera scoffed and Xander pulled her more close to kiss her head. "Yes darling¡­ That''s the utmost plan... Make more little Yangs¡­ hehehe¡­" Chapter 549 - Tire You Out** "Are you still going back to the university to teach?" Rui asked, seeing Candice was dressed up for her disguise as a professor. "Yeah. Why? I also enjoy teaching so I plan to finish my contract for this semester," she answered while lifting her eyebrows.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #**_50023860275313031 for visiting. "Besides, I''m so fond of Cali now that I want to hang out with her often. I feel like I am with my sister whenever I''m around her." Candice casually uttered. "You have a sister? Oh, I remember the one who looks just like you?" Rui asked. "What are you now? Some gossipers?" Candice snorted. She obviously did not want to talk about it so Rui just zipped her mouth. "Alright, the kids will leave soon only then we can explore the house and the amenities inside," Xander mumbled with a wide grin. Soon, everyone was leaving together and Xander excitedly walked them outside while Yera took care of the dishes. She missed the household chores so much because she never touched anything inside their house ever since she gave birth except for her triplets only. She smiled when she felt her husband''s arms embraced her waist. "We''re finally alone, darling. It''s time for us to play now," Xander whispered in her ear followed by a teasing bite in her earlobe. Yera chuckled and said, "Behave¡­ Let me finish washing the dishes first." But her husband was not behaving at all, distracting her by kissing her nape, licking, and sucking while he unzipped her dress from the back to slightly showing her bare shoulders and he then showered it with gentle kisses. Yera tilted her head and closed her eyes as she tried to let out her small m.o.a.ns. She felt Xander removed the plate she was holding and he washed her hand, hugging her from her back. He turned her around and teasingly asked, "Darling, do you wanna do it here?" He felt his wife hit her chest as she scolded, "Stop that!" Yera screamed because Xander suddenly lifted her up and carried her in a bridal style. It had been a while since he carried her like that and Yera felt like she was once again back to those times when they got married and had their honeymoon moment alone. "Let''s see if you will tell me to stop then¡­" her husband whispered with a mischievous grin. Then, he kissed her as he walked towards their room, carrying her in his strong arms. He would suck on and pull her lips alternately and Yera could feel her body asking for more. They soon arrived inside the room and Xander gently and carefully put her on the bed. Yera watched her husband take off all of his clothes before her eyes. She smiled seeing how manly he was with his messed up ash brown hair. He was too handsome and he even got more muscles from working out. She unconsciously bit her lip as her eyes lowered down. He just removed his lower clothes and she could see his shaft standing tall as ever. "Who would have thought that you experienced an erectile dysfunction?" she teased with a grin. "Well, I still have that disorder from other women. My precious only salute to my wife. It''s very choosy I must say, it''s loyal and a one-woman shaft!" Xander proudly announced, making Yera chuckle. But the chuckles were quickly followed by the tightening of her stomach when her husband suddenly lifted one of her legs and gently kissed it going up at the insides of her thigh. She was wearing a dress so her panty was easily exposed. She m.o.a.ned when she felt him kiss her apex. He pulled her panty down then started making her cry in pleasure as he explored her lower body with his lips and tongue. A few moments later, her body convulsed in the climax. Xander stared at her with a playful smile then crawled back up to remove her dress including her bra, leaving her with nothing. Then he showered her body with his kisses. Yera closed her eyes as the fire continued to consume her. She was growing impatient that she rolled over Xander to inflict the same sweet torture on her husband by kissing his body. Xander growled in ecstasy when he felt his wife''s hand caressing his shaft. It had been so long since his wife touched it and gave attention to it, like now. His hands unconsciously gripped her hair as she kissed his n.i.p.p.l.es, she licked and nibbled them while rubbing him in between his thighs. "Darling, you have to stop. I will have premature ejaculation¡­" Xander stutteringly whispered. Just a simple tugging and rubbing it up and down was making him shivered in pleasure already. Yera did not stop, she did not listen to her husband''s words and continued to kiss the lower part until she reached between his thighs. He was dripping wet already when she licked from bottom to top, making her husband cry in her name. She licked its tip, not minding the pre-c.u.m then gently covered it with her mouth and started bobbing her head up and down. Before Xander would explode, he moved fast and pulled Yera up to kiss her. He rolled on top of her and made one quick deep thrust in her opening. Yera m.o.a.ned in his mouth that continued to savagely kiss her. Xander controlled himself as much as he could as he pounded in and out of his wife. He wanted them both to reach the climax at the same time but it was too much for him to hold it so he ended up reaching his peak first, burying all his seeds inside her wife. "Sorry about that, darling¡­" he whispered in his wife''s ear followed by licking and sucking on her earlobe. Then he once again moved inside of her, in and out, in a gentle thrust. Yera looked at him with a knitted brow and asked, "I thought you''re done?" Xander had a roguish smile as he whispered, "It''s hard again darling, I will let you c.u.m first this time. I shall tire you out the whole day..." he then sealed his wife''s lips with his once more. He was too ecstatic at the thought of having his wife alone only for himself for one whole day. Chapter 550 - Straight Home Rui had started getting annoyed with Candice''s clinginess towards Cali. She was even holding Cali''s hand, the hand that only he was supposed to be holding. All the while he just walked at the back, following the two women who seemed to be getting closer by the minute. "Seriously?" he annoyingly whispered before he sat in front of them in the university canteen, for lunch. Candice only chuckled seeing how crumpled Rui''s face was. "Hey, what''s with all the frowning? We will all get indigestion if you don''t stop your frowning." Candice teased. Rui did not reply but only crumpled his face more. Candice was about to tease him some more but she felt someone''s presence so she quickly said, "You two enjoy lunch¡­ I will leave for a while." "Good," Rui unconsciously answered, making Candice laugh and said, "I will be back fast though, dear." As soon as Candice left, Rui complained, "I''ve been missing you so much. Can''t you sneak out tonight and sleep in my room instead?" Cali gave him an awkward smile and said, "Hmm, I can but I don''t think that would be a good idea." Rui pouted his lips and snorted, "I guess you''re not missing me as much as I''m missing you." Cali grabbed Rui''s hand and gently squeezed it. She wanted to tell Rui what Candice told her but it could jeopardize the operation so she controlled herself and instead said, "I miss you too. Later, I will see if I can sneak out for like an hour or so. Is that okay?" Rui shook his head. How come Candice was always a pain in the ass. He honestly felt something weird with Candice staying with them for so long so he would discuss this matter with Xander, later. After lunch, when Candice was still not back, Cali left a text message for her that she and Rui would attend her next class. Her routine would be like that, reporting Candice of her whereabouts whenever and wherever she goes. "You''ve got a new ring?" Rui asked when they held hands while going to the next room. "Yeah," Cali answered. Candice gave that ring to her saying it was also a tracking device. Candice asked her to never take it off her no matter what. Rui recalled their wedding ring. He had kept it with him and would soon return it to Cali once he proposed to her. He unconsciously smiled as he looked at Cali''s small hand. He gently kissed it and he felt Cali flinch. "Too much PDA, huh?" she whispered with red cheeks and it made Rui chuckle. He wanted to tease Cali and tell her, that it was her who was the excessively showy and clingy one, and that what he was doing was not even in the twenty percent compared to what she used to do. Too bad, since he could only keep it to himself. He did not want to take any chances when it came to Cali''s health. The school soon ended and as usual Candice was once again nowhere to be found so Rui just left her a text message that they would leave for home first. "How about we go out for dinner?" Rui suggested while they were inside the car. Cali bit her lip. She would love that but Candice said they should go straight home if she was not with them. To be honest, she did not know why she was trusting Candice too much, but her instinct was telling her to just follow Candice''s instructions and everything would end well and soon. Candice said no harm would befall her and she actually believed her words but she was skeptical if she should keep it from Rui for too. "Hmm, I''m a bit tired and I would like to go straight home. How about I stay more in your room while Candice is still not around," Cali commented since she too would like to cuddle and smooch a little, with Rui. Rui''s face brightened and he quickly said, "Alright, straight home then." Cali chuckled with his excited tone. As soon as they came home. Rui quickly pulled her to have dinner since Yera had already prepared the table in the dining area. "Where''s Candice?" Xander asked. "You know that woman is like a mushroom. You''ll see her there and then you don''t." Xander nodded and they all started eating dinner and having a bit of conversation. "How about a drink?" Xander asked Rui but Rui only shook his head and said, "I will go first and rest a little early today. I''m a bit tired." Xander crumpled his forehead as he watched Rui leave first. Cali''s mobile phone suddenly beeped so she looked at it while she was still having her dessert. [Go to my room quickly as soon as you''re done¡­] Cali''s face blushed as she suddenly recalled what had happened in Rui''s room the last time she slept there. She wondered if they would do something like that again today. "Cali, do you want more fruit salad?" she heard Yera ask. Cali shook her head and said, "I''m full thank you. I will go and clean up now¡­" Yera nodded with a smile. Xander watched Cali leave and turned to Yera to whisper, "Why are those two are acting weird?" Yera laughed and said, "Let them be, okay. They just became new lovers and so they want to spend a lot of time together." "Well we are old lovers but I still want to spend more time with you, darling so I guess I understand. How about we go rest a little early too?" "We have to clean the table first¡­" Yera commented with a grin. "Aish! Those two should be the ones cleaning up since you handled the dishes. Tomorrow let those two clean up." Xander grunted. "Haha darling, it''s okay. I missed doing chores and I volunteered for this yesterday. I will handle the kitchen while we stay here." Yera commented. "How about you do the cleaning while I go to our room and clean up there? I will wait for you¡­" Yera suddenly said with a wink, leaving Xander alone as fast as she could. Xander heaved a long sigh before he instantly swept the table and washed the dishes in a hurry. Tomorrow they would go out and there would be no time for her alone, except at night where his wife would probably only sleep so he must hurry and seize the night once more. ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 551 - Instinct* R18¡­ explicit skip it! lols Cali quickly cleaned up and changed into her sleepwear before she walked out and opened Rui''s door to enter. Her cheeks turned pink, seeing Rui''s bright meaningful smile at her as she entered the room and walked towards him. He was already on the bed waiting for her. "You can finally sleep here tonight. Candice messaged me, saying she will not come back tonight as she has to attend to something important¡­" Rui informed with an ear to ear smile. He was like a kid who was granted permission to play with his favorite toys all day long. He even replied to Candice saying thank you and for her to have fun. Cali timidly walked towards the bed and joined Rui who immediately cuddled him and whispered, "Ahhh, I missed this. I thought it would be a long wait before I can hug you like this." Cali moved to face him and said, "Are you sleepy already?" "Hmm not yet. How about you?" Rui asked. He was too busy caressing Cali''s cheek. "Not yet too. It''s still early. Usually, I sleep around nine in the evening." Cali answered. Rui chuckled and said, "It''s only seven-thirty¡­" "Rui¡­ I actually do not know about what happened with me after I returned to country D. To be honest, I feel like grandpa and nanny Shine are hiding something important from me. I too never asked them anything as well since the doctor told me that I will experience severe pain if I push myself in recalling the memories I have lost." Cali opened up. Rui''s expression suddenly became serious. "I would like to know what all happened to me during that time. What I did, whom I met. Did I make any new friends and so many more questions keep coming into my head. Will you help me? I mean help me to check it?" Cali added. Rui was silent for some time. "Rui?" Cali whispered. "Sweetheart, it is a bad idea if it will cause you pain." Rui simply stated, making Cali sigh. She wanted to tell Rui about the man she kept on dreaming about but she was shy and afraid if he would misunderstand her. "What if I had a boyfriend that I happened to forget after my memory loss?" Cali said, almost in a whisper. "Then the more strong reasons for you to not try to remember the past, because I want you to think not of no other man except me, Cali. Let''s focus on the present and our future now." Rui firmly said with a smile. He wished to tell Cali everything but he did not want to take any risk with her health. He could not afford to witness her in any pain at all, even the simplest headache to her was a trauma for him to bear. Whenever Cali would cringe or have pain in her head, he was always nervous and he would pray quietly for it not to get serious because her case was very sensitive, Yera even called Cali''s case a rarest of rare kind of a miracle because no one survived surgery and woke up absolutely normal as she did. Most of the patients lost their sight, remained in a coma for the rest of their lives, or worse remained paralyzed throughout their life after the surgery. Rui smiled, seeing Cali pouted her lips. He gently trailed the hem of her lips with his fingers and whispered, "Stop pouting or I will eat your lips¡­" Cali immediately pursed her lips but Rui still leaned forward and kissed her. It was supposed to be a peck only but he got carried away as soon as her fragrance hit his nostrils and he unconsciously sucked them alternately while his tongue slid inside her mouth. Cali cupped his cheek with one hand and answered his kiss with the same longing. She was actually with the thoughts of giving Rui the same pleasure as last time he gave to her so she rolled over on top of him, dominating the kiss. She was astounded at first with her own actions but it was as if her body was moving on her instinct and telling her what to do. She pulled the hem of Rui''s shirt up and Rui obliged her by removing it off completely. She caressed the skin of his chest and played with his protruded n.i.p.p.l.es using her fingers. She loved to hear him m.o.a.n with every touch of her on his bare skin. She left his lips and bent down to shower his neck with kisses, leaving a hickey on his fair and pink skin she licked and sucked. "Cali¡­" he m.o.a.ned her name when she nibbled one of his erect n.i.p.p.l.es while her hand was crawling down. She felt his erect shaft in between his thighs and she took her hand on it and caressed it more with his shorts still on. She then lowered her head a little more and kissed the muscles on his belly and slowly went further down. "Cali what are you doing?" she heard Rui gasp but she did not reply and kissed the bulge on his shorts instead. She was getting aroused with his m.o.a.ning, giving her more confidence that what she was doing was right. She pulled down his shorts and briefs. He was so hard as she held the long shaft in her hands and felt it''s hotness. Cali then moved, she positioned herself in between his thighs and began to kiss the sides of his thighs while she rubbed his shaft with her hands. He was a bit wet already. She continued with her kissing until she reached the base. She licked from the bottom up to its tip and repeated it like she was licking some candy. She felt Rui''s fingers gripping her hair as she began to playfully lick the tip. He was dripping and she did not mind swirling her tongue on its tip. She liked it, she loved pleasing him. She finally sucked it and bobbed her head up and down. Rui was screaming her name and she could feel him growing inside her mouth. She continued sucking and bobbing until he reached the peak. She immediately went to the bathroom to clean up when she felt his liquid inside her mouth. Rui on the other hand felt so weak while he stared at the ceiling.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #*_50070315430107717 for visiting. "Sweetheart¡­ When did you learn all that?" he could not help but tease after he cleaned himself next and joined Cali who was back on the bed. Cali''s face reddened with embarrassment, wondering how to answer it. She hid her blushing face in his chest and bit him lightly. "It''s simply instinct¡­" she plainly answered. But in all honesty, she felt like she already did that before since it was all very familiar. Rui looked at her with his teasing grin as if not convinced with her answer. Cali''s face crumpled as she complained, "stop teasing me or that will be the last time I did that to you." Rui immediately zipped his mouth and even gestured a zipping lips with his fingers to Cali He then wrapped Cali in his tight embrace and kissed her forehead while he whispered, "I love you, sweetheart." Chapter 552 - Not Human At All Cali woke up with a bright smile on her face. She turned to hug Rui, but the bed was empty. She opened her eyes and saw that he was not on the bed. "Had a good sleep?" Cali heard Candice''s voice and quickly got up from the bed. "What are you doing here?" she mumbled, blushing. "Checking on you. Rui is preparing breakfast. Why don''t you go and get ready for school now?" Candice casually commented while she drank her coffee, sitting comfortably on the couch. "You''re creepy. How could you just barge in here unannounced," Cali complained as she stood up. It was Rui''s room, how could Candice act so bold? "Well¡­ That''s my expertise, barging in unannounced. Anyway, I''m afraid we need to move to the next level. Today is the day of the hunt, so I have to make sure of your safety." Candice informed Cali. "Is that why you were gone?" Cali asked, her face suddenly turned pale. Candice only nodded. "I think Rui deserves to know about this." Cali pointed out. "Yeah you''re right, but it doesn''t change a thing whether he knows it or not¡­ The outcome will be the same¡­ Just like whether you stay here or go out. Edward will still manage to take you. The only solution is letting him take you, and then me tracking him down that very instant." Candice reiterated. Edward would definitely get a pardon, without evidence of him disobeying the law. The man was very good at cleaning up his dirt and Candice could not eliminate him without enough proof of his crimes. "Are you sure nothing will happen to me?" Cali whispered because she was actually scared. Candice put her mug on the table and stood up to walk towards Cali. She held her shoulders and with a reassuring smile said, "Nothing will happen to you, Cali. I promise you that. You are under our protection. Rui would not even know that you''re gone, you''ll be back with him by tonight." Cali did not know why she trusted Candice so much but she just instinctively felt like believing her, so she followed that instinct of hers and agreed to whatever Candice had in mind. Then they had breakfast and afterward Candice had a serious conversation with Rui and Xander. Candice reiterated that they could not mobilize the police because technically, there was no evidence against Edward. Rui was too uneasy, Candice already talked to him about what could happen that day and he could not believe Candice lied about Edward. The man was still out there, lurking around, waiting for the right time. "How about we go back to country D?" Rui suggested. "He will still follow. Right now, everyone believes he dropped out, but he''s just around the corner, lurking, waiting for an opportunity," Candice commented. Rui could not help but feel that his life was completely jinxed. He had just managed to win back Cali''s heart and was hoping to have a normal and a fresh start with her soon, and this happens? Of all the women, why did that psycho have to choose Cali? "What can I do to help?" Rui asked. "Nothing¡­ Just stay with her in every possible way. I will make sure nothing happens to her during this operation Rui." Candice promised. "Can they just stay here at home? It will be safer¡­" Xander commented and everyone agreed. Lunch was laid out and everything was normal until¡­ "Where''s Cali?" Rui hysterically burst out when he found that Cali was not in the bathroom where she was supposed to be taking a bath. Everything happened too fast, and when Cali opened her eyes, she was already in a dark room. She was not tied down but was lying on a bed in a very unfamiliar room. She looked at the ring she wore and was a little relieved seeing that it was still there which meant that Candice could still track her location. "You''re finally awake¡­" she heard Edward''s say, he approached her and sat on the side of the bed. "What are you doing¡­ Let me go¡­" Cali whimpered. But Edward just gave her an eerie smirk before he frowned and said, "It''s your fault, choosing him over me? Didn''t you know that no one dares to refuse me?" Cali trembled seeing how red Edward''s eyes had suddenly become. "What''s going on?" she stutteringly whispered. "What else? I will have to make you mine. I will do whatever I want and however I want with you until I''m satisfied," Edward exclaimed, followed by an evil laugh. She could hear his footsteps approaching and the fear inside her grew stronger. Something was wrong with Edward, she felt like she was looking at someone who was not human at all. His eyes were too terrifying and his soft features were turning into something diabolic. "Oh my God¡­" she gasped as it dawned on her, the situation she was in was extremely dangerous. She suddenly thought of Rui, wondering if she would ever be able to see him again. She looked around but there was nothing she could use as a weapon to hurt or stop him. The room was empty except for the bed she was sitting on top of right now. She didn''t even know where the door was to run and escape. It was a closed room and there was not a single opening to go out. So Cali knew her screams would just be in vain. Edward grabbed her. She struggled hard, but he was so strong that Cali felt as if her one wrong move would make her bones crack because of his strong grip. She heard a loud bang from outside and that gave her a gleam of hope so she screamed with all her might, "Help! Help!" The next thing she knew was a lot of smoke filled in the room, it made her cough and gasp for air. It was hard to breathe and her eyes were also swelling up because of the smoke. She felt Edward forcefully pull her and put her weak body on his shoulder, like a sack of grain. Cali knew she would soon pass out. She heard voices, she recognized that one of those voices was Candice''s before she totally lost consciousness. Chapter 553 - Keep It From Rui Cali saw herself wearing a beautiful creamy white, off the shoulder lace dress. She gasped when the door opened before her. She was inside a church and everything looked breathtaking, it was beautifully decorated with many varieties of flowers. She found herself walking down the aisle while looking closely at the figure of a man wearing a creamy white suit, the man looked extremely handsome. She could feel that he was waiting for her. The moment was magical. She had never felt happier in her entire life. He was smiling brightly at her, not breaking eye contact with her for even a moment. She smiled back at him, it was a smile of contentment. She was filled with so much joy and it made her shine brighter than the sun. ''Oh, God¡­. Please don''t let me forget him.'' Cali found herself praying silently as she continued to walk towards him. ''Even if my brain cannot retain any memories and forgets everything about him¡­ please my dear heart, make sure you never forget my Rui and beat only for him¡­ no one else.'' Her eyes rounded as those thoughts came back to her. The man of her dreams, the one she succeeded in conquering¡­ He was Rui¡­ "Rui¡­" she called out before opening her eyes. "Sweetheart? Oh God, finally, you''re awake." she heard that familiar voice. Cali turned to face him. His eyes were all swelled up, he had been crying. "You cried¡­" Cali whispered with a faint smile. Tears were flowing from her eyes too. Rui kept his vow, he promised her that no matter what came their way, he would always stand beside her and never leave. He did stay with her... "Yeah, I was so worried, sweetheart. Let me quickly call the doctor to check on you." Rui said as he stood up, but Cali grabbed his wrist. "I love you so much Rui Dee," Cali weakly whispered. Rui wiped his tears and whispered back, "I love you more. Let me ask for the doctor first, to check up on your condition." Cali meekly nodded. She looked around the hospital room where she currently was and heaved a sigh of contentment. She just had some recollections and she was sure it was a part of the memories that she lost. But she was glad that she could finally remember Rui¡­ her husband... The door opened and Cali saw Yera enter with Xander, with a basket of fruits in his hands. "You''re finally awake." Cali nodded and Yera helped her up. "You''re safe now. Candice arrived just in time to get you. You passed out because of the chemicals in that smoke." Xander explained. Rui arrived with the resident doctor who immediately checked her condition. "She''s fine already. I will issue a discharge¡­" the doctor informed and Rui nodded. Yera also looked at her and asked how the condition of her head was. "I''m good sis¡­" Cali answered with her sweetest smile. Yera''s eyes suddenly rounded. Cali used to call her sis before her surgery. "You remember?" Yera gasped and Cali nodded as tears fell from her eyes. Yera hugged her and Cali whispered, "Can we keep it from Rui?" Yera looked at Rui who was talking to the doctor and then back at Xander, she then shifted her gaze to Cali. "Why?" she asked. Cali had a mischievous smile¡­ "Alright¡­ I understand. Oh my God, Rui will be so happy, I know for sure." Yera murmured. "Hey, why are you two whispering?" Xander interrupted with knitted brows as he and Rui approached Cali''s bed. "Nothing¡­" Cali said and quickly wiped her tears. Rui sat beside Cali and grabbed her hands. "We will leave you two lovebirds alone now¡­" Yera commented. "But we just arrived," Xander complained but Yera immediately pulled him out of the room. "They will remove the dextrose soon. You''ve been sleeping for almost twenty-four hours, I got so scared¡­" Rui said. "Where''s Candice?" Cali asked. "She''s at the scene with the elite force, doing some cleaning. They actually found some remains and bones of victims in the secret bas.e.m.e.nt. Some of Edward''s victims from this country, Rui further explained. I do not know what I would''ve done Cali if by any chance I happened to lose you¡­" Rui stated, his eyes glistened with tears. Cali cupped his face in her hands and said, "If anything bad happens to me¡­ I want you to continue moving forward¡­ I will be happy if you will move on and find another love of your life¡­" Rui''s face crumpled as he scolded, "Let''s not talk about all that rubbish. All that''s important is that you''re safe now¡­" "I would like to talk to Candice. I''m not sure if I''m hallucinating but I saw Edward turn into something, something so scary¡­ he''s not human Rui..." "You''re hallucinating," Candice, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, interrupted them. "You see, Edward, injected something in your body when he abducted you. It''s some drug that can make you hallucinate¡­" Cali explained with a wide smile. She had a paper bag of sweets that she handed over to Rui. "How are you?" Candice asked her with a wink. "I''m better now¡­ Thank you for rescuing me. I heard your voice before I totally lost consciousness." Cali said with a smile. "I told you. I will not let anything happen to you or else Rui here would hunt me down to the ends of the earth. You see, he threatened me big time¡­" Candice snorted. "As if I will ever get scared of him," Candice added with a wink. The nurse arrived to remove the dextrose from Cali''s IV. "Are you finally leaving us alone?" Rui whispered with a grin. Candice''s eyebrows lifted as she said, "Is that how you''ll thank me?" Rui laughed and reiterated, "Well you can stay with us as long as you want but on the condition that you will sleep in your own room from now on. Also, don''t be too clingy with Cali." Candice''s face twitched as she mumbled, "Maybe you''d prefer me being more clingy to you then, huh?" "Youuu¡­" Rui beamed but Candice only sniggered at him before she walked over to Cali''s bed. He then heaved a long sigh of relief while looking at Cali who was now exchanging pleasantries with Candice. It was so nice to see her smile once again. He felt like he was going crazy since the moment she was abducted. He still found everything too weird, especially with how Edward managed to abduct Cali as if it was nothing. There was no break-out and even the CCTV footage showed no signs of him at all. Candice said that it was a very confidential case and the matter would be handled by a special elite force in a very quiet manner. He only hoped this time Cali and he could finally have a normal life together, where the two of them could only focus on their relationship and create more memories together without worrying about anything else. Chapter 554 - Deserved The Best Cali was finally discharged from the hospital and returned home with Rui and Candice. Yera had already prepared a feast for their wonderful dinner, outside in the veranda with the fire burning in the fire pit to keep them warm in the cold weather. "Oh, I can smell the grill!" Candice beamed and immediately walked over to the veranda. Rui and Cali followed. "I bet you are all hungry so let''s all just dig in already. This is to celebrate this occasion, Cali is safe and sound and back in Rui''s arms." Xander commented with a teasing grin. Cali blushed while Rui grabbed a beer and beamed, "Cheers!" The group then shared a hearty meal while bantering with each other. Cali was only laughing and smiling while she listened to them. She wanted to tell Rui about her regaining of memories by surprising him and was still thinking about how to properly execute her plan. "Oh! what a nice ambiance. Having dinner outside, under the beautiful night sky¡­" Candice commented as she caressed her tummy. She was so full. "Yera is a great cook. I honestly envy women who cook so well. I''m too bad at cooking so I don''t cook at all." Candice commented. "You don''t cook? But you''re a culinary professor?" Cali asked in disbelief. Candice laughed and said, "I will be leaving soon. I hate teaching as well, so it''s time for me to drop this profession and look for a better one." "She''s a secret agent so don''t ask any more questions. For all we know she could be bugged and we will all be put in danger for getting close to her¡­" Xander mumbled in a jest and Candice only lifted her eyebrows at him. "Yeah, you''re right. It''s more dangerous to get on my bad side though¡­" Candice countered with squinted eyes, making Rui and Yera laugh. "I will go first¡­" Cali said with a smile after chatting a little more. "I''ll walk you to your room," Rui said and Cali nodded. Rui walked her inside her bedroom. "I will sleep with you. Let me just clean up and I''ll come over to your room later," Cali informed before she closed the door. Rui smiled as he walked to his room instead of joining everyone again. He was supposed to go back and join Xander for a few more drinks. But since Cali would soon come to his room, he decided to clean up as well and changed into his sleepwear. He was whistling as he went to bed. He opened the television to watch some news while waiting for Cali. He wanted to propose to Cali as early as possible and have a wedding ceremony with her but this time he wanted to give her a grand wedding ceremony because Cali only deserved the best and their wedding before her surgery was arranged in a haste with a handful of people invited. He smiled as he recalled the time of his rushed wedding with Cali. She looked so stunning even in a simple white dress. How more gorgeous would she look wearing a dazzling wedding gown? He could not wait to see her wearing a real wedding gown, walking down the aisle again, to marry him once more. "Will it be too early if I ask her to marry me?" he whispered with a sigh. He had a lot of plans for them both but he knew he must wait. He wanted Cali to enjoy her life to the fullest, while he would support her from behind. Finishing her culinary arts school was one of her biggest dreams so maybe they could just be engaged during that time if she did not want to marry him yet. What was important for him was for Cali to be informed of his intention to marry her. He chuckled because technically they were already married so it would basically be just a formal ceremony for the two of them. His beautiful thoughts were interrupted when Cali entered the room. She had that sweet smile of hers on her face as she walked towards the bed. Rui was too mesmerized to say anything, his eyes were fixed on her, denying to peel away from her gorgeous face. She was like a beautiful Goddess ascending from heaven in his eyes and his heart started beating erratically just by seeing her smile. Cali slowly made her way to him but paused a step away from the bed. She stared deeply into his eyes with her dazzling smile, lifted her slender hands, and untied her nightgown robe. She slowly removed it and threw it on the floor, leaving only a thin layer of silk on her body that enclosed her perfect shape and enhanced her s.e.xy curves. Rui unconsciously gulped as he anticipated what would Cali do next. Cali removed the straps of her nightgown, letting it slip and fall down the floor. "Cali¡­ What are you doing?" Rui whispered. He was almost out of breath, seeing Cali only with her lingerie. Cali did not answer and removed the remaining things on her body to get n.a.k.e.d in front of her husband. She had recalled him as her husband, though she could not recall all her memories with him yet except for the fact that she was well aware that the two of them were not only legally married but also were in love with each other. She remembered that day when she gave herself to him and they got married the next day afterward. She remembered how he had promised to be with her in every condition and stay by her side always. She forgot him but he kept his promise¡­ Rui held onto her¡­ Her husband¡­ Her man¡­ She gave him another smile and walked forward to crawl on his bed. She had that naughty smile as she positioned herself on top of Rui. "Cali?" Rui asked. Cali leaned forward to give Rui a gentle kiss while she whispered, "I want to make love with the man I love¡­" "But Cali¡­ Are you sure?" Rui managed to utter the words hoarsely while he was already on the verge of losing his control at any moment. Cali winked at him before answering with a passionate and hungry kiss that surprised him because Cali was actually timid about being intimate with him but all of a sudden she was bold and aggressive like how she used to be before. Rui was so lost already in Cali''s lips that the questions inside his head vanished and were replaced with the burning desire he was keeping for too long to himself. He moved and rolled over on top of Cali instead. "Sweetheart¡­ There''s no turning back¡­" Rui whispered in her ear before nibbling her earlobe. Cali chuckled and said, "Absolutely¡­" Chapter 555 - Can You Keep Up** [R-18 / Could be explicit to your taste.] Rui was awakened from his deep slumber by gentle biting and sucking on his skin. He sluggishly opened his eyes and saw Cali. She was already on top of him and she seemed too busy giving his body some marks of love. He smiled and subconsciously turned his gaze at the clock hung on the wall in front of him. He and Cali already made love several times a while ago before both of them fell asleep in each other''s arms due to being exhausted from pleasuring each other. Rui gulped when a mixture of pain and tingling sensation rushed in his skin because of Cali''s nibbling. She was so aggressive since she went inside his room that he was unable to outpower her on the bed, not that he was complaining since he loved every second of it. But Cali''s aggressive behavior somewhat surprised him. "Sweetheart," Rui groaned as Cali licked and sucked on his collarbone. Cali tilted her and gave him her mischievous smile as she answered, "I feel like my body is burning sweetheart¡­ and the night is still young." Rui gulped. Just those teasing words and her way of speaking was enough in making his shaft go wild. He himself was already hard when he woke up because he felt Cali''s bare skin was brushing against his sensually, arousing him in the most unexpected way. He m.o.a.ned when he felt Cali licking and sucking his neck as she went down to his chest. Her fingers were playing with one of his n.i.p.p.l.es, swirling over and then pinching on his n.i.p.p.l.e while she licked and sucked the other with her tongue and mouth. "Cali¡­" Rui hummed in pleasure. He felt like Cali was rewarding him tremendously by giving him nonstop pleasure. Cali was enjoying the m.o.a.ning of her husband as well. She wanted to do more for him because Rui deserved the best in all aspects. She playfully bit the tone muscles on his belly and Rui flinched. "Sweetheart¡­" he growled and Cali gave him a mischievous smile before he licked and gently kissed the skin she bit. She continued further south until she reached in between Rui''s legs. His shaft was throbbing with prec.u.m as she touched and gently rubbed it with her hands. She was so eager to take it inside her mouth but she kept teasing him like this. As if she enjoyed his pain from her sensual torture. "Ahhh," Rui gasped as he back his head with increased intensity. Cali''s wet tongue touched the tip of his shaft, making him shudder in anticipation. He kept humming as she licked his entire length, making it harder as it could. Now, Cali was not hesitant to give him more sensual pleasure. His hand grasped Cali''s hair as she began to softly suck it in her mouth, deep to the back of her throat as deep as she could. "Sweetheart¡­ You will kill me if you keep doing this¡­" Rui whispered as he watched her bobbed her head up and down between his things. He grabbed her hair with his palm that acted as support while Cali sucked him up and down. He glanced at her who was busy sucking him because he was so desperate to see her face, he wished she also received the pleasure of sucking him like this. "I''m c.u.m.m.i.n.g¡­" he whispered and quickly pulled Cali beneath him. He would not waste every single drop of it just like that so he immediately pulled her up and made her lay on her stomach. He then entered Cali''s already wet entrance in one deep thrust. Cali pulled Rui''s neck and kissed him as they danced with the same tempo. She met his deep and gentle thrust at first while slowly building its speed. He kept thrusting in and out of her, Rui was half-kneeling as he continued to beat her core as he brought Cali''s legs up and kissed its sides. With her arms placed on top of her head, Cali''s grip on the sheets tightened as she neared her orgasm with Rui''s continuous thrust, which was getting deeper and harder until her body jolted. "Ahhh¡­" Rui screamed as he soon followed Cali with a nerve-wracking orgasm as he buried inside of her as deep as he could.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #**_50070559706378657 for visiting. He collapsed on top of Cali and whispered, "What a way to wake me up in the middle of the night sweetheart." Cali pouted her lips and mumbled, "Are you complaining?" Rui chuckled as he tilted his head to kiss the tip of Cali''s nose then he whispered, "Nah¡­ I would prefer this method as a way to wake me up every day if possible." Cali gave him her sweetest smile as she said, "We have a lifetime to do it, sweetheart. I love you¡­" "I love you more¡­" Rui answered and gave her a passionate kiss on her lips. Cali gently stroked Rui''s hair, who remained on top of her, with his head resting on her chest. "I had a dream¡­" Cali commented. Rui finally moved and lay beside her with his arm on her waist while he snuggled his face on her shoulder. "What did you dream about?" Rui asked. "It''s about me and a man making love then getting married but I don''t see the man''s face¡­" Cali whispered. Rui tilted his head and with collided brows scolded, "How dare you dream of another man. I forbid that!" Cali chuckled, she wondered if she should tell Rui that she finally remembered him. But then she wanted to give him a big surprise. Besides, she wanted to prank him more and see how he would do things with the thought of her not remembering him. "But it was weird sweetheart because that man felt familiar¡­ I mean his kiss and touch actually feel the same as you. You know, in my dreams, I have this urge to make love with him more and more like how I want to do it with you¡­" Cali added, inwardly grinning. Rui gulped. He knew he should be careful because Cali did not know that he was also that man. He inwardly cursed that dream of Cali for being stingy. It was only a dream and yet it still did not show his face. ''Damn that dream¡­'' he mused, feeling wronged. "Well it''s just probably you dreamt of me and in the dream, we were making love nonstop," Rui whispered as he started kissing Cali''s collarbone. He wanted her again now. "Alright then. Let''s go back to sleep," Cali teased when she felt Rui''s once again hard shaft poking on her sides. "You wake me up so¡­ I''m fully awake and recharge to make you scream all night long," Rui breathed as his hand cupped one of Cali''s b.r.e.a.s.ts and teasingly caressed her pointed n.i.p.p.l.es. "You''re so hot and gorgeous¡­" he whispered followed by him rolling on top of her. Cali welcomed him with opening arms and whispered with a mischievous grin, "Let''s see how strong you truly are on the bed. Can you keep up with me, sweetheart?" ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 556 - Propose Succeeding days were back to normal where Candice left too and went back to country D. Meanwhile, Cali and Rui were back to school since Cali wanted to finish the culinary courses she took. "Rui, I think you should stop studying with me. Why not check Yang Global''s subsidiary hospital in this country instead sweetheart? Xander is right, you should check and supervise it while we stay here. I can manage on my own in the university. You will drop me and pick me up from school anyway" Cali commented because she was aware that Rui was not fond of studying culinary at all. He was doing it to stay with her, but it was no longer needed since they were in a relationship together. Rui also thought the same because he too did not want Cali to feel suffocated with his presence. "Alright let us do that then. I will talk to the teachers today. Finish your food now and let''s go back to our class" Rui said with a smile. Cali then continued eating lunch with him at the school canteen. Later, after school, she and Rui would go on a double date with Yera and Xander. She also wanted to ask Yera for help on how she should surprise Rui. She wanted to do something memorable with him while she confessed that she had already remembered him. She already had something in mind though, but it would need at least three days of preparation. After the class, Rui already informed the school administration about him dropping out of school. Soon they left and were now on their way to the mall where they would take a stroll with Yera and Xander. "Hmm, I only hope that there will be no more pests around you after I leave" Rui commented with pursed lips referring to men who would try to woo Cali. Cali chuckled and hugged Rui''s arm as she moved closer to lean on him while Rui was driving. "Of course, I will personally tell them to go away since I''m already married" Cali whispered unconsciously that made Rui suddenly stop the car at the side. "Married?" Rui burst. Cali wanted to pull her hair for being careless. She smiled at Rui and said, "Yeah, I considered myself married since I only see myself being with you Rui." Rui knitted his brows. He looked confused so Cali cupped his face and asked, "Will you marry me, Rui Dee?" It was so sudden that Cali too did not know why she suddenly said that. There was only silence and Cali got worried seeing Rui''s eyes glistened with tears. "What is this?! Why are you proposing to me first?" Rui complained, his eyes brimming with tears. It was too unexpected. He wanted to do it soon, but he was worried that Cali would be surprised since they''ve just recently gotten into a relationship. Cali wiped the tears on his face as she murmured, "I know, but I can''t wait to be next to you for the rest of my life. I love you so much." Rui was so speechless that he just pulled Cali to his embrace and sealed her lips with a passionate kiss. He was the one to release her as well, or else he could have taken her then and there at that moment because of the increased intensity in his body not to mention his burning emotions and desire for her at that moment. He moved and grabbed something in his car. It was Cali''s engagement ring that he was planning to give her back at any moment. He opened the small box and put the diamond ring back on her finger. "It''s beautiful," Cali gasped. She was too overwhelmed to have that ring back on her finger. "We should buy wedding rings too," Cali whispered excitedly knowing Rui also kept their wedding rings with him. Rui chuckled and could not help but tease, "Why do I feel like you, my sweetheart, are in a hurry to tie me up?" "Yes, I am. And I''m intentionally making it obvious. Time is gold, so I don''t want to waste it. I want to meaningfully spend it with someone I love. With you," Cali whispered as she adoringly touched the ring on her finger. ''Welcome back dear. You look good back in my finger. So sparkly!'' she mused while she stared at him. Rui stepped on the gas and went back on the road with a happy and contented heart. He did not need Cali''s memory back because he would create new ones with her in the present and their future, together. They soon arrived at the mall and Cali excitedly hugged Yera. She even pulled her so they could walk ahead of the boys. "I have this idea to surprise Rui but I''m not sure it will be good enough," she whispered and told Yera about it. Meanwhile, Xander suspiciously looked at the two women who were walking ahead of them. "What''s with the two of them?" he asked Rui. Rui chuckled and said, "Cali is probably telling Yera how she proposed marriage to me all of a sudden." Rui boasted. Xander stopped walking and looked at him in a daze. "For real bro?" He asked with rounded eyes and Rui answered with a nod accompanied by a wide grin. "Oh, that''s great! I''m so happy for you!" Xander burst out and hugged Rui and lifted him with his arms on Rui''s waist, swirling him. "Hey!! Put me down, people will think we''re a crazy couple!" Rui scolded as he reddened in embarrassment. "What''s with those two?" Yera asked as she paused and turned around hearing Xander''s voice from behind. Cali, with a timid smile, murmured, "I proposed to Rui and Xander must be very happy for him." "Ohh¡­ No wonder my husband is so happy." Yera uttered with a smile. Since her dear husband had a tendency to be a blabbermouth, she hadn''t told Xander the good news about Cali remembering Rui because she didn''t want him to spoil it. She wanted Cali to be the first to inform Rui. Cali with Yera laughed, watching how Xander suddenly dropped Rui and scolded him as to why it was Cali who proposed first and not Rui. "These two are too adorable," Yera whispered as she turned around and pulled Cali to continue their stroll. Chapter 557 - You Deserve This Days passed by and it was finally the day of Cali''s surprise for Rui. It was the weekend and Rui woke up early but he was surprised that Cali was no longer in bed. He went out of the room and saw Cali with Yera preparing breakfast. "Come and sit¡­ The table is ready¡­" Cali said with a bright smile. Soon Xander joined them. Yera looked at Rui and said, "Would you mind if I borrow Cali from you this morning? I want to visit a friend and Xander does not want to accompany me." "Sure, Yera," Rui answered with a smile though he suddenly felt confused as he looked at Xander suspiciously. Xander seemed occupied with eating and was not commenting at all. ''What''s wrong with this clingy dude?'' he mused because he was so used to Xander who often followed his wife like a leech and now he suddenly did not want to accompany her! ''Did they quarrel?'' he worriedly thought. He looked and observed but it seemed that there was nothing to get worried about since Yera was smiling a lot. After breakfast, Xander pulled Rui into the garden and said, "Play chess with me for a while¡­" "What''s going on?" Rui asked as they settled on the chair and table outside. "What do you mean?" Xander commented as he arranged the board on the table. "You''re the clingy husband and suddenly you don''t want to accompany Yera?" he pondered. Xander chuckled and said, "She will kill me if I would insist on accompanying her. She told me that she wants to go out with Cali but she''s shy to ask you directly so she used me as an alibi¡­" "By the way, she forgot to return the rings¡­" Rui commented as their game started. Xander looked at Rui with snapped eyebrows as he beamed, "Rings?!" "My wedding rings. Mine and Cali''s. She wanted to look at them saying that she admired the design and would pattern a similar design for your silver anniversary," Rui said since Yera did not ask him to keep it from Xander. "That''s odd. I mean silver? That''s twenty-five years from now and besides, I''m sure there will be many designs that are better by that time¡­ Anyway, I''ll just ask her later." Xander added. Rui was in deep thought. He smelled something fishy. Something was definitely going on and he just could not pinpoint what it exactly was, until Xander''s mobile phone rang. "It was Yera, she told me to bring you to the address she gave. She said your outfit is in the other room." Xander relayed with a confused look. Rui followed by Xander quickly checked the said outfit hanging in one of the guestrooms. It was an all-white tuxedo. Xander chuckled because there was a name tag saying it was Rui''s "Bro, are you getting married?" Xander commented but suddenly paused and turned to Rui who also met his stare. "Are you thinking what I am thinking right now?" Xander whispered and Rui nodded. "Bro, you''re so slow, like a turtle! How come it''s Cali again who planned a surprise wedding like this?!" Xander scolded. He couldn''t believe that Cali advanced over Rui the second time around too. Rui was speechless and could only scratch his head while a wide smile crept on his face. "Are you happy, huh? Grinning like that after being proposed to, and now this surprise wedding?" Xander mumbled as he shook his head while Ru''s face only reddened as he smiled timidly. "Hurry up and don''t keep the bride waiting. Go and change, I will also change. Now we know why Yera asked for the rings from you last night and did not return it intentionally." Xander scoffed as he grabbed his suit as well. Rui was shaking as he changed. He felt so overwhelmed by how things turned out well at the end. He could not ask for more but to be with Cali in his lifetime. Tears were falling from his eyes without even him knowing he was already crying. "This is embarrassing¡­" he whispered with a grin as he wiped the tears from his eyes before Xander could notice it. Xander was right though, he was too slow. He was planning a surprise wedding as well but not this fast since he wanted to personally talk to grandpa Lua and nanny Shine before going through with his plan. He went out of the room and saw Xander was on the phone. "Let''s go¡­" Xander said as soon as the call ended and Rui nodded. "Was that Yera?" he asked as soon as they were inside the car. Xander was driving and he was in the passenger seat. "Yeah. I asked her what''s going on and she said it''s not a surprise wedding¡­ Do you actually believe that? Goodness. She should have told me so we can orchestrate a better plan. Those two ladies are too clumsy. Did they think we have a low IQ that we wouldn''t be able to comprehend it all quickly? Why even choose and leave a tuxedo outfit for you beforehand? When they can just give us the outfit once we arrive at the church. I mean they just killed the suspense." Xander complained because Yera and Cali handled it improperly. Rui only laughed and said, "Yera did not include you since she knows you''re a blabbermouth who tends to spoil things by accident. Anyway, it''s still thrilling for me. Just the thought that Cali prepared something like this for me makes me feel like I''m on cloud nine." "Yes, you deserve this my friend. You suffered a lot and I guess it''s good that Cali is doing all this for you. There''s a reason why you are slow like a turtle with things I guess since Cali was meant to do the proposing and planning the surprise wedding¡­" Xander concluded. Rui laughed and said, "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?" "Both¡­ Insulting you for being slow and complimenting you for being hardworking, for being someone who doesn''t easily give up on a loved one¡­" Xander mumbled with a twitched mouth. There was a sudden silence and Rui turned to look at Xander. "Bro?" he whispered, seeing Xander wiping his tears. "Oh, don''t mind me and go practice your vows. Geez, I think something is in my eyes and that made me feel like crying." Xander muttered, controlling the stutter in his voice. Rui smiled and whispered, "I love you, bro¡­" ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 558 - My Husband Xander stopped the car in front of the church where a woman who introduced herself as a coordinator was waiting for them. "Sir¡­ You will be the one to walk down the aisle and your bride is already inside, waiting for you¡­" the coordinator said. "What?!" Xander burst, suddenly he felt excited since it was the first time he would witness a scene like that. "Bro¡­ Cali did knock you out on this," he teased Rui with that amused grin. The coordinator looked at Xander and said, "You go in first, sir, and walk as the groom''s man." Xander nodded and looked at Rui one more time and said, "I will go in the first bro. I must see you walking down the aisle from there." Rui suddenly felt nervous that his stomach tightened. He was too excited to see Cali waiting for him. He just could not explain how blissful he was at that moment where his mind was clouded with the thoughts of how Cali had fully accepted him as her lifetime partner by surprising him, that too this early. Rui exhaled loudly as he walked towards the church door. He gasped when the door opened up for him. ''Why does everything seem so familiar?'' he mused while looking at the breathtaking and beautifully decorated inside of the church with a variety of flowers. He felt his heart race and his stomach tighten. Everything felt the same¡­. He was also very surprised on seeing grandpa Lua, nanny Shine, Shane, and Josh there as well. ''What is this?'' he gasped because it was like Deja Vu. Everything was the same as on his wedding with Cali before, the only difference was he was the one walking down the aisle. Cali was waiting there for him in her white gown. She wore a beautiful creamy white off the shoulder lace gown, almost the same design as that dress she wore during their wedding before. She looked so beautiful and stunning that he could not believe that his patience and love for her was finally successfully rewarded. Cali was smiling brightly, not leaving eye contact with him. Rui smiled as well, a smile of contentment and so appeared on his face, and joy filled inside his heart. Then he suddenly heard Cali''s voice, her sweet soft voice, filling in the inside of the church. "When I was walking down the aisle at that time¡­ I silently prayed to God several times, whispering these words, please let me not forget him. I also even talked to my own heart telling it to always remember you, even if my brain, head, and memories forget everything about you¡­ I asked my heart to make sure to never forget my Rui and beat only for him¡­ no one else. My heart is always yours Rui, forever." Rui was too shocked to hear those words. He did not even realize that Cali already walked towards him. "You remember?" Rui whispered as his eyes welled with tears. Cali smiled and nodded, tearing up. Rui hugged her tightly and whispered, "Oh God thank you¡­" "I wanted to give you a good surprise about me remembering you but this is the only thing I could think of¡­ Marrying you the same way we got married before." Cali murmured. "I still remember your vows¡­ And let me say it back to you¡­ No matter what comes our way, I will stand beside you always and never leave. Through thick and thin, for rich and for poor, till death do us part. I love you dearly, sweetheart, more than you have ever known." Cali said in her firm loving tone. She gently pushed Rui and cupped his face and whispered, "Thank you for making me the happiest woman alive in this world by not giving up on me. I love you so much Rui Dee, my friend, my boyfriend, my lover, my sweetheart¡­ my husband¡­" Rui was too overwhelmed and speechless and he could only answer Cali with a passionate kiss. As soon as the kiss broke, everyone who was a witness, clapped their hands as the church was filled with tears of joy from people close to Cali and Rui. "You should put the rings back on me¡­" Cali whispered with a grin as she handed her rings to Rui. Rui smiled and gladly put the rings on the back of Cali''s finger. They were her engagement and wedding rings. Cali also grabbed Rui''s hand and put his wedding ring back on his finger. Grandpa Lua and nanny Shine were both crying uncontrollably while they witnessed everything, Shane was crying too. She was surprised as to why Cali asked her and Josh to fly there for a visit if ever they were available and now she knew why¡­ Cali wanted to share with them this wonderful surprise and this news because Cali knew that they played a big part in helping out Rui, including Xander and Yera. "They look so adorable," Nanny Shine whispered while grandpa Lua nodded in agreement. He was very grateful and too glad that his only granddaughter found a good man in Rui who was very dedicated towards her. "The church and we are all props since those two were already married. Hmmm, was this your idea darling?" Xander asked Yera as he sniffed, trying hard to control himself from sobbing. He was too happy for his Rui and tears naturally fell from his eyes. "It was Cali''s idea. She asked me for a better one but I could not think of anything better than the one she thought of¡­" Yera said with a smile. "Yeah, this is a great idea¡­ But how come you two did not give it any more suspense¡­ Geez, you should have asked me and I could have executed everything perfectly where Rui''s heart would burst from too much anticipation¡­" Xander commented with pouty lips. Yera laughed and directly said, "Sorry darling but I''m more scared of you spilling it all out unknowingly¡­ and that would kill the suspense more." Yera smiled at her husband and added with a tease, "Let''s just go and congratulate the two. It went so well anyway. See how you''ve been crying up to now?" ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 559 - Stay Together For A Lifetime Rui was still feeling euphoric. At that moment, he felt everything was just too good to be true. He would even pinch himself secretly, to convince himself that he was not dreaming and everything was really happening. Cali did remember him and their love for each other. Such rarity for her case. Yera, who was talking to him, informed that Cali''s kidnapping could be a trigger that made her recall some of her memories. But then nothing was certain. He was really grateful because it was a bonus that Cali finally remembered him. Though her memories were not fully complete, the fact that she remembered the most important part, which was getting married to him made him really happy. Rui could not stop smiling. Whenever he looked at Cali, his gaze was filled with so much love and commitment that even the people around them could feel his sincerity. "So much love¡­" Nanny Shine could not help but whisper when she noticed how the couple''s eyes were sparkling with too much joy as they shared a wonderful party that Yera prepared at the restaurant beside the church. It was a small gathering of loved ones in a simple place, yet the place was filled with tears of joy, laughter, and so much love. "Yes and I''m so grateful that Cali chose the most wonderful and perfect man for her¡­" Grandpa Lua commented, recalling how Cali bugged him for an arranged marriage the moment she met Rui for the first time. Nanny Shine chuckled and said, "Yes, she indeed has good taste¡­" Xander interrupted Rui and Yera''s conversation by putting his arm over Rui''s shoulder as he commented, "I heard Cali prepared a lot including a honeymoon getaway for the two of you. Work hard so you two can give our babies a playmate." Rui laughed and said, "Stop embarrassing me. I know I''m slow, but when it comes to matters like these, I''m quite reliable." Xander felt his mouth twitch hearing him. "I heard that the beach resort is really good and there''s a lot of things to do. Good thing my wife also booked a room for us there. It is apparently the best beach resort in the country so expect to see us there soon. You see there are two camper-cars outside. One is for you and the other one is for us, to stalk you guys." Rui laughed so hard and declared, "Dude, you so love me." Yera laughed watching the two banter like love birds. Soon enough everyone congratulated the couple, wishing them the best of luck once more before Cali and Rui bid farewell to go to their next destination which was on their honeymoon. They decided to travel in a camper-car because the resort she booked was in a remote area and it would take a long time to reach. Another reason was that they had perfect privacy from their driver so they could play around inside without getting disturbed during the long hours of travel. "Wow, you really prepared a lot," Rui complimented, though a bit embarrassed that Cali was the one who did everything instead of him. Cali headed straight to their room and sat on the bed while watching Rui who looked amazed at the interior of the campervan. It was as though they were inside a real bedroom. "Strip off sweetheart," Cali suddenly instructed, making Rui blush. "Oh wait¡­ I will strip you instead," Cali bluntly uttered as she stood up and gently removed Rui''s clothes as if she was peeling a very precious gift. Rui stood rooted to his place, watching his wife admiringly. He was so turned on, that his chopper was already so hard and ready at that point. Cali had a playful smile as she gently caressed and rubbed it, making him m.o.a.n in excitement. Cali was still wearing her wedding gown so Rui did the same and removed her clothes one by one slowly. However, he could not stop himself from giving gentle kisses on every inch of bare skin that was visible to his eyes. He practically kissed every inch of Cali''s body not just her front but he circled her and kissed her back from head to toe. Cali bit her soft bottom lip. She suppressed the m.o.a.ns that came out of her mouth with every kiss her skin was receiving from Rui. Then Rui suddenly carried her princess style and let her lay down on the bed. She pulled him for a deep kiss and whispered, "Thank you for not giving up on me¡­ I love you so much Rui." Rui paused and stared at her amber eyes deeply. "Giving up was never an option for me sweetheart because that is how much I love you. We will stay together for a lifetime," Rui whispered lovingly. ***** At the same time, a second camper-car was tailing behind Rui and Cali''s. Xander opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass to his wife. "Rui is probably still on cloud nine," Xander commented with a grin as he drank the wine. Yera laughed and replied, "Yeah, I heard Cali saying that she would not let him rest at all. She missed him so much that she wanted to exhaust him, and start making babies while they were together¡­" "Seriously?! Wow! I never thought Cali could be that bold. You should also learn from her and improve your stamina darling. I am anticipating the moment where you will never let me rest for our entire trip. Give me back that glass and let''s just exhaust ourselves by engaging in more baby-making activities¡­" Xander enthusiastically exclaimed, pulling back the glass he had handed to Yera. "Stop that and don''t be so exaggerated. Don''t you dare take more time inside the bedroom or I will kill you. It''s been a while since I''ve been able to travel like this, so I prefer to roam around and sightsee the place with you. We can only exhaust ourselves at night before going to sleep okay?" Yera reiterated, making Xander crumple his face in defeat. He then realized his wife was exhausted enough by taking care of the triplets so she deserved an enjoyable, worry-free, and relaxing trip such as this. "Alright¡­ Let''s do that then but can we apply this rule later? We have to be on the road for a day so how about we play for now and exhaust each other?" Yera laughed and put down her glass on the bedside table after drinking the wine in one gulp. She had her arms wide open for her husband as seductively whispered, "Come here before I change my mind¡­" ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 560 - Complete And Whole After one year¡­ "Congratulations!" Rui greeted Cali on her graduation with a bouquet in his hands as soon as the ceremony ended. Cali was smiling brightly as she accepted the bouquet. Her husband stayed with her for those two years that she was studying at country D. Rui managed to find an opportunity and practiced his residency at the Yang hospital subsidiary at country D to be with her. "We can now go back and focus on making babies as we promised to your grandpa," Rui teasingly whispered in her ear. He was thoughtful enough to wait until Cali finished her culinary art school. He wanted Cali to enjoy the life she wanted and not push her too hard into married life after their engagement, neither did he want to put pressure on her for being a mother this early, since she was still young and besides he was willing to wait till she was ready, for when she wanted to start a family. Their marriage during those times was not perfect. Like normal couples, they too did quarrel sometimes, had some ups and downs but along the way, all that helped them to grow in each other''s arms. For Cali, Rui was the best husband because he was too patient when it came to her. Her cheeks reddened as she whispered, "I also have a surprise for you, for being a good husband all this time¡­ Later¡­ When we get home¡­" Rui chuckled and suddenly could not wait for that surprise. He drove the car in the opposite direction so Cali asked, "Aren''t we going home?" "This is such a special occasion and you think I will just let my sweetheart eat a simple dinner at home?" he said with a grin. Cali could already fathom where they were going. "Oh¡­ We''re going to the hilltop?" she excitedly asked and Rui nodded. "We will relax there until however long you want. I already brought all your things with me. You deserve this vacation after studying so hard," Rui commented. Cali grabbed her mobile phone to record their ride and everything along the way. It was already a natural thing to her, doing videos whenever she was with Rui on an important day or whenever she felt the urge to do so. It was like she wanted a compilation of her good and important memories she could watch over and over again if in case she came to the point of forgetting it all again. "My husband will treat me to a vacation," she whispered on the video. Cali then kissed Rui''s cheek and hugged his arms. She told Rui that she was dying to see and stay at those hilltop houses in the mountains where there were springs and pristine forests. Cali could not help as excitement filled inside of her blood. They stopped and Rui parked his car in the parking lot of the resort because they needed to travel further by cable cars. From their car, a bellman took their things while another man guided them to the cable car. "Oh my¡­" Cali gasped as she saw the natural beauty of the mountains and their forests from the cable car. It had been a while since they last had an escapade because she was too busy with school. She grabbed her mobile phone and as usual took a video of everything. She could not help but smooch her husband, not minding the two men assisting them. Rui chuckled and whispered, "Naughty¡­ Stop that. Later, you can play all you want." Cali only giggled as she shifted her gaze back to the breathtaking view. "How long are we going to stay?" Cali asked. "As long as you want, sweetheart," Rui answered with an ear-to-ear smile, looking towards his happy wife. The sun was about to set and they soon arrived at the villa where Rui had the staff prepare a candlelight dinner arrangement outside the villa they rented with the night sky in view and a cozy tent. Cali blushed seeing that Rui even prepared a gift for her, a diamond necklace that he put on her neck during dinner. "It''s so beautiful," she whispered and took her mobile phone out to record a few videos of her and Rui once more. They ate together while talking about a lot of things and their future plans. Afterwards they sat at the entrance of the tent looking at the night sky that was filled with glittering stars. Cali was having some hot chocolate while Rui was drinking wine. "Let''s go back to country D as soon as we finish our getaway. I missed everyone there," Cali commented as she leaned her head on Rui''s shoulder. "Alright, I will wrap up things in the hospital. I can actually leave anytime I want since I mostly supervise the facility¡­" Rui soon seconded. He was actually flexible since there was no pressure on his side. He did not accept his father''s offer of handling the family business matters knowing it would only cause chaos in the family, between him and his half-brothers. He was stable enough to provide everything Cali would need. He only wanted to focus his attention on Cali and the family they would build together. Rui recalled their conversation and asked, "By the way, what''s the surprise you were talking about earlier?" Cali moved and turned to look Rui in the eyes. "Are you ready?" Cali asked. Rui narrowed his eyes and suspiciously answered, "Of course, you''re making me nervous with that suspenseful expression¡­" Cali had that usual sweet smile as she pursed her lips. "What is it, Cali?" Rui murmured, somehow feeling nervous. "You''re going to be a father¡­" Cali timidly whispered. "Oh my God, sweetheart!" he burst out and suddenly pulled Cali into a tight hug, he showered Cali''s face with sweet kisses, making her giggle. "Stop that¡­ It tickles!" Cali beamed, giggling but Rui did not stop kissing her face and neck. "I''m so happy!!!" he burst before rising up from his heat and shouting at the mountain, "I''m going to be a father! Yahoo!!!!!!!" Cali laughed watching her husband shout how proud he was to be a father. It was a good thing the villas are at a safe distance from each other. "Stop that already, sweetheart¡­ Or else we might receive a call or someone would check on us seeing if we are alright¡­" Cali commented with a grin. Rui sat back beside her and whispered, "You just made me the happiest future father in the world¡­" "Not the happiest man in the world?" Cali mumbled with pouty lips. Rui chuckled and said, "I was already the happiest man in the world the day you told me you love me, Cali." Cali had that sweet bashful smile while Rui caressed her cheek and said, "I love you so much, Cali. I could not ask for anything more in my life. Having you as my wife and the mother of our future children is more than enough for me to feel complete and whole¡­" ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 561 - Ended Up Happily Ever After Cali and Rui went back to country D and the couple decided to stay at Luo''s residence. Rui felt more at ease staying there because Cali would not be left alone if ever he was not around. At Luo''s residence, she would be taken care of by Nanny Shine and Grandpa Luo well. After settling down, Rui went back to work at Yang Global Hospital to assist Xander while Cali became busy with putting up her newly found business. She set up her own bakery and cafe naming it "Memories Bakery & Cafe" where she made a lot of customized desserts and cakes. Everyday Rui would drop his wife off at the bakery and pick her up again in the afternoon. Today, he was having coffee with Xander as they discussed what changes to be made to further improve the hospital facilities... "I will spend more time and be engaged with the Cooper network for a while since I was just appointed as its new CEO. Besides, this election is total chaos so I have to make sure that Uncle won''t be cheated in the Presidency¡­" Xander muttered. Keira''s father, Uncle Troy, was a candidate for the Presidency and his opponent was apparently somehow who had a lot of tricks up his sleeve to make sure he would win. He had to use his power over the media to make sure that the election would be fair and unbiased. "So I will leave everything to you while I will focus on assisting Keira¡­" Xander added and Rui nodded in understanding. Xander chuckled remembering something and could not help but comment, "Do you know that your father is begging me to let you go so that you would stop working here at Yang Group?" Rui''s face crumpled and mumbled, "Yeah¡­ He keeps bugging me too. It''s because his other two sons will soon drive the company towards bankruptcy due to their incompetence¡­" "Are you sure you don''t want to try working there? Dee''s Group is a big company and you have the right over the company¡­" Xander commented. "Nah, I will pass. Managing Yang Global is enough for me. I don''t need any more fame nor riches¡­ I just want to focus more on Cali and our baby¡­" Rui said with sparkling eyes as the image of his lovely wife with her growing belly crept into his mind. Xander laughed and said, "Wow I''m so proud of you brother. Keep up the good work and make more babies with your wife so that my children will also have a lot more playmates. You see¡­ Yera is pregnant again." Rui''s eyes widened and he shouted, "Hey man!! You''re so on fire! Congratulations!" The two then talked more about Xander''s endors.e.m.e.nt and a lot of things when Xander noticed Rui looking at the wall clock. "Geez, I will dismiss you early since your mind and heart is no longer here.. You can go and your wife from her work as you''re clearly longing to see her¡­" Xander teased as he handed the last endors.e.m.e.nt file Rui. Rui only chuckled. Soon Xander dismissed him and as usual, he excitedly drove to pick-up Cali at her cafe-bakery. He was greeted by Cali''s employees who informed him that Cali was in her private kitchen working on some new recipe. Cali wanted her privacy whenever she baked since she had the habit of listening to musical instrumental music. She did not want to be disturbed by anyone else except for him of course, since he was the only exception, who was allowed to disturb his wife. He entered Cali''s so-called den and smiled seeing her wearing her apron and slowly swaying her h.i.p.s to the soft melody while kneading the bread dough. He carefully walked towards her and then hugged her from behind surprising her. Cali stilled for a moment before she smiled feeling her husband''s arms and warmth around her and inhaling his scent which she loved. "I was to pick you up sweetheart but it seems like I arrived too early," he whispered in her ear. Cali turned around and put her arms on Rui''s neck. She had the sweetest smile on her face, one that Rui would never get tired of staring at. "You''re always early to pick me up sweetheart. Isn''t it intentional? Maybe you''re missing me so much that you cannot wait anymore?" Cali teased before kissing her husband who had that playful grin. Their kiss deepened but it was interrupted by the ringing of Rui''s phone. "Answer it first. It seems important," Cali whispered when the ringing did not stop. Rui, with a crumpled face, picked up his mobile phone while he was silently cursing the intruder who was none other than Xander Yang. "Come out and let''s have dinner together. We are waiting for you two outside." Xander said on the other line. "What? Here as in the bakery-cafe?" Rui burst and he could hear Xander''s loud laugh from another line. "Yes! I mean the cafe¡­ You see I started to miss you so easily bro¡­. Yera also wanted to try Cali''s desserts and dishes. I think she''s craving for them so I decided to bring her here too¡­" Rui ended the call and informed Cali that the couple was outside. "Alright I will start to cook so you go and entertain them for a while, sweetheart," Cali said and kissed Rui one more time before she pushed him outside. Xander had an ear-to-ear grin on his face when Rui came out. "We are also waiting for Gavin¡­" Yera informed. "Gavin? The anchor?" Rui asked. "Yes, he is planning to write another story and this time he wanted to write it based on our story¡­" Xander boasted as he pulled his wife into his arms. "Oh yeah, I heard about that guy¡­ Hate & Love Series right? Cali has copies of those books. The CEO Who Hates Me and The General Who Hates Me...." "Yeah, The General Who Hates Me is based on Keira and Zach''s story¡­" Xander commented. Rui laughed and teased, "And what will be the title for your story? The Doctor Who Loves Me?" Xander blinked and mused, "Why not? I will suggest it to Gavin since it suits our story perfectly¡­ My wife is also a doctor who loves me so muchhhh¡­" "Ouch!" Rui chuckled, seeing how Yera hit her husband''s chest. "But jokes aside, it really does suit our story since we doctors love our wives so much¡­ You see you will also be there Rui. I''m sure you will be added there as my sidekick¡­" "What the heck?!" Rui babbled and Xander only laughed. Yera shook her head and said, "Maybe it would be better if I go see Cali and help her a bit while you two continue with your bantering. Just call me once Gavin arrives¡­" Xander nodded and watched as his wife walked towards Cali''s kitchen. He let out a long sigh and said, "We''ve all been through a lot but if given a chance to turn back time¡­ I would not change anything. I have no regrets about my actions and decisions seeing how rewarding it is to find true and lasting love. The kind of love that will make us grow more into a better person. Someone with whom we will share our lifetime with and create a family that no amount of riches in this world could ever replace¡­" Rui smiled and seconded, "Yeah, I agree with you on this bro¡­ See how you grew up¡­ And who would ever guess that you still hope to continue your lineage?!" Rui teased, making Xander crumple his face as he complained, "Hey, why do you have to kill the mood? It''s a mental disorder that I outgrew with the help of the love of my life!" Rui laughed and shook his head¡­ Surely Xander and Yera''s love story was a rollercoaster that ended up happily ever after like just his and Cali''s... ******************** Support the author via paypal.me/eustoma OR ko-fi.com/eustoma Please read at app/site: #The-Doctor-Who-Loves-Me Contact me at [email protected] or instagram: EUSTOMA_reyna or Discord Link: discord.gg/PNGkTUy Chapter 562 - Epilogue (The Doctor Who Loves Me) "Oh goodness! Stop running you guys!" Xander yelled at his triplets. Rui laughed watching his friend that could not get a hold of his triplets. They had just turned three and the toddlers were very active in playing. "Two girls and two boys wow¡­" he could not help but comment as he turned to Yera, sitting beside him, who just gave birth to another healthy boy. "Yeah, and you have a cute little girl¡­" Yera commented as she smiled at the baby Rui was holding. She and Cali gave birth at the same time last three months, since both were caesarian, both their husbands chose the same day of operation. Rui timidly smiled as he lovingly stared at the little baby in his arm and whispered, "I still can''t believe that I''m a father now." "Being a parent is so rewarding despite the hardship right?" Yera commented, referring to how hard it could be to be a hands-on parent. They were in the Yang mansion garden where there was a small gathering of close friends and family for the wedding anniversary of their father and mom Ana. "Yeah, it is so rewarding¡­ I honestly want a son soon too," Rui commented as Cali approached them with a dessert. Cali''s eyes rounded as she complained, "I just gave birth¡­" Yera laughed and turned her gaze to her ever doting husband who was also a wonderful father. Xander almost tripped and fell following the triplets who seemed to be having fun watching their father run after them. Then her gaze went to Dion and Rizie. She smiled seeing the big tummy of Rizie who was carrying their second baby and it was a boy once more, another addition to their family tree. Like how her father-in-law hoped for, they were growing in numbers every year, one big happy family. Soon more guests arrived like Rizie''s family, the Lim''s together with their in-laws, Keira and Shane. "Wow, I can''t believe brother Xander won against me¡­ I only have twins for now because I and Zach are so busy that we can''t concentrate on planning for another baby¡­" Keira commented as she gently took baby Xan from Yera''s arms. "Baby Xan is so cute¡­ Look at you¡­" Keira hummed as she winked at Yera''s baby. Yera laughed and commented, "Being a field marshal is not easy¡­" "You bet¡­ I can only support him since he''s so good at it besides, he always prioritizes us¡­ his family and makes sure to spend more time with us as well. I''m not against it seeing how he handles and balances everything well. It''s just that I''ve been so busy lately with Gavin not around¡­ That man dares to hide, leaving me alone as an anchor. It''s so hard to find a perfect partner like him." Keira whined with pouty lips. Yera sighed because she liked seeing Gavin with Keira in the evening news¡­ The two were indeed an unbeatable pair. "I guess he really needs time alone with his writing. Maybe he is more passionate about it now rather than being an anchor¡­" Yera seconded with a sad tone since she was a huge fan of Anchor Gavin Wu. "Yeah, he also has a lovesick dilemma so he needed time to think. Besides, he''ll be very busy continuing his book about the historical romance that would be adapted into a film. He''s the main scriptwriter for that as well so I can only imagine how he is wrecking his brain out right now¡­" Keira added with her tone holding a hint of excitement towards the project because she heard that the movie had such a huge budget that it was considered a big project for this year. "Oh yeah, I heard about it and that Brione would be the lead actress right but they still couldn''t find a lead actor that best fits the role right?" Yera added. Keira had a mischievous grin and was about to answer when Xander suddenly interrupted them. "There''s your auntie. Go to Aunt Keira come on¡­" Xander who was panting, instructed his two girls while he lifted his boy in his arms. Keira laughed and said, " I''m carrying your youngest. Hold on¡­" "Baby Xan you go back to your mommy while I play with your adorable sisters¡­" Keira whispered as she handed baby Xan back to Yera''s arms. Xander, still panting, sat beside Yera with his son in his arms. "Geeezzz, those girls are too hyper." he mumbled before looking at the three-year-old boy in his arms and said, "How come your sisters run faster than you Ray? You''re the eldest brother of those two so make sure you grow up strong and reliable to protect your sisters¡­" Then he looked at their baby boy in Yera''s arms and added, "You too baby Xan¡­ You and big bro Rey are the men in our family so make sure you both grow strong to protect your sisters¡­" Yera laughed and commented, "As if they can understand you already darling¡­" "Well I will repeat it every year for them so they will understand well¡­" Xander declared with a grin. "I think we should add one more man in the family, what do you think?" Xander teased his wife. "Hey¡­ Stop exhausting my sister!" Dion who heard him interrupted. He handed a glass of wine to Xander and added, "Geez, I need the best surgeon in action working at the hospital but you keep on getting in the way of my sister that she can no longer hold a scalpel to keep her record as a witch doctor!" Xander laughed but then halted when Dion suddenly froze and just stared at him. "What? Stop that Dion! Don''t you ever dare say that you''re seeing another ghost on my back or I will definitely kill you!!!" Xander grunted. Dion had a third eye and he hated it whenever Dion would freeze like that because it meant he was seeing something again and that he was silently praying to rebuke that bad spirit. Then Dion suddenly murmured, "It says to give my sister a rest or that you''ll be haunted by the patients who died because Yera did not operate on them¡­" Yera chuckled because she could sense that Dion was only playing a prank on Xander. "I hate you!!!" Xander cried as he heaved a long sigh of relief seeing how Dion grinned at him. ''How dare this man play a prank on me!'' Xander thought annoyingly, watching as the two siblings laughed together. "You will handle all the surgeries because I will make your sister pregnant every year!!!" Xander chortled with flaring nostrils, making Yera and Dion bust into a fit of laughter. Yera felt so blessed¡­ Looking around¡­ Being surrounded by the people she loved¡­ and most importantly for having the best man in her life¡­ With a beautiful and contented smile, her eyes fixed on Xander. She raised her hand and caressed his cheek as she whispered, "We can have as many children as you want darling¡­" She would do anything for her man¡­ the man who loved her unconditionally¡­ Her husband¡­ ******THE END***** February 11, 2021 To all my lovely and generous readers, Thank you for staying till the end with me.
