While Shane continued to walk casually beside Alexa, with Alexa holding Shane's hand.They continued to talk, especially about Drew.The rows of hospital corridors that were pure white and smelled of antiseptic seemed to separate them from the outside world full of intrigue and lies.A luxurious and sexy looking woman seemed to walk from the direction of the corridor opposite to the direction Alexa and Shane were headed. Alexa, who was focused on talking to Shane, did not notice the woman's appearance.As they crossed paths, the fancy and sexy-looking woman squealed, trying to stop Alexa."Hey, you! Wait!"Shane turned to the woman with a furrowed brow, while Alexa who had glanced at the woman, immediately looked down.Alexa said to herself, 'She? Why did I have to meet this rotten woman?'The woman was Scarlett Hayes, a movie actress who had

At the door of Drew's ward, a female nurse who was paid twice his salary was waiting for Drew with an attentive face.When the door opened, Drew's bright eyes immediately lit up at the sight of Shane. Without hesitation, the eight-year-old boy held out both hands. Alexa smiled, then she stepped closer, but her steps were halted when Drew suddenly shook his head just seconds before Alexa touched the boy."Shane, hold me," Drew said hoarsely.Alexa's hand was still frozen in the air. Shane who saw that immediately felt bad, although in the end he still gave Drew a hug.The boy hugged Shane tightly. Alexa, who had lowered her arms, looked a little disappointed when she saw Drew's reaction. She held back, hiding the feelings etched on her face.Shane felt the tension. "Be patient, Alexa," he said softly, patting Drew's shoulder gently. "Drew just needs time to accept you as his brother."Alexa nodded slowly, though her heart was a little pricked. "I understand, Shane."Drew's small eyes

Alexa felt the anxiety rolling in her chest like waves relentlessly crashing on the shore. She felt fear. She remembered the incident with her fiancé, Chris Raleigh, who died in an accident. The car they were traveling in was chased by several black sedans.Shane looked at Alexa with a gentle yet firm gaze. "Alexa, calm down. I'm right here. There's nothing to worry about," he said, his voice like a soothing breeze in the desert of Alexa's heart."How can I be calm, Shane? I'm afraid of a repeat of what happened a few months ago." Alexa's face turned pale."Are you referring to the accident that happened to you and your fiancé?" Shane asked.Alexa just nodded her head. Her eyes glanced into the rearview mirror, seeing the shadow of a black sedan that kept looming over them like a ghostly figure unwilling to let go of its prey. The car followed them at the same distance, like a wolf stalking its prey in the dark.The driver sitting in the front felt something was wrong. "Mr. Morgan,

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly. Shane raised his eyebrows, while Alexa held her breath. "What's going on, Jordan?" asked Shane, his voice remaining calm even though his heart was ready for anything.Jordan hung up the phone and looked at Shane with a look that was hard to interpret. "The car didn't take another road to avoid you. They were just outwitting you. Now they're near this building, as if waiting for an opportunity."A chill ran down Alexa's spine. Shane fixed Jordan with a piercing stare, like a hawk locking its gaze on prey. "Increase security throughout the building. Make sure no one can enter without authorization."Jordan nodded and immediately gave the order to the security team. Meanwhile, Julian remained standing where he was, staring coldly at Shane. Inside the room, the tension was palpable, as if time had stopped and only uncertainty ruled them.Shane knew that whatever happened next, this was no coincidence. This was a warning, a real threat, and he

This morning Shane had just arrived at work. He was still breathing hard because he was late for work. He had to run from the bus stop to the company where he worked.“Please, let me in. I'm only five minutes late,” Shane still sighed as he faced one of the security guards at the gate, who was never tired of doing his job.For a few seconds, the front gate security looked Shane up and down. “All employees who arrive late should not be able to enter. You know the rules of this company.”“I know.” Shane made a pitiable face. “At least give me a chance today. This is my first time coming in late.”Suddenly another security guard came over. “Send him in. The manager wants him to see his boss right away."Although confused, Shane finally entered. Instead of going to his cubicle to start work, he went straight to the manager's room.After almost thirty minutes had passed, the first thing Shane felt was the tension that crept like a dark shadow inside the room belonging to George Louise, the

Shane was still silent. He felt like he was plunged into an abyss of anxiety. He was still standing in front of Fred, the security guard who worked at the Winstone family home, who had just delivered Mrs. Winstone's message to him.He said to himself. 'My mother-in-law is waiting for me? How did she know that I was coming home? Could it be that she already knows that I've been fired from the company?'Shane still stepped inside, even though a storm of bad thoughts was now raging in his head. The thing he was most worried about was the condition of Drew, his brother.“Welcome, loser.”The 53-year-old Helen Winstone's voice was shrill, welcoming Shane's arrival. By now even Shane was standing in the center of the spacious living room like a palace hall.“Now your level has dropped even further, from loser to unemployed.” Helen smiled sarcastically.Of course it was easy for Helen to know that news, because the owner of the company was someone she knew very well.Shane closed his eyes an

Shane was still trying to contain his anger that was churning in his chest. He shot a dagger-sharp glare at his mother-in-law.“I'm not your mom! Let alone my son, a filthy carpet like you doesn't even deserve to be my son-in-law.” Helen continued to put Shane down.Erick didn't like Shane's attitude towards his mom. “What do you mean looking at my mom like that? Getting into trouble with my mom, that means you're getting into trouble with me too!”Briel approached her lover. “Teach this trash a lesson, honey.”Not waiting for long, Erick slapped his sister-in-law's face with a hard slap that hit her like a hammer, and cursed, “You really are a rotten bastard! You even dare to offend us, especially my mom. You really are blind and ignorant!”Shane fell down from the hard slap from Erick's hand. His vision fogged up as if he was seeing stars circling above his head.Unable to contain his anger, Shane stood up and grabbed Erick by the collar of his shirt and pulled him down. He threw a

Somehow, Shane's body could easily avoid the old man's attack. Several fighting moves were made by Shane to ward off the old man's attacks.“Hahaha... good.” The old man laughed loudly while rubbing his white beard. “Apparently your body's natural reflexes are working well. I'll teach you another martial art style.”The white-haired old man taught Shane some martial arts moves, which were transitional moves from basic martial arts to advanced Chinese martial arts.Even more surprisingly, Shane quickly mastered all the moves the white-haired old man taught him.“Who are you?” asked Shane with a look of surprise and confusion on his face as soon as the training was over.Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and...“Get up, asshole!”A kick to Shane's waist by Derek brought Shane to his senses. Before the questions he asked the white-haired old man could be answered, he had already shifted back to reality.'What exactly happened? Is this a dream?'He looked around the place again and found that

Shane was dumbfounded by Alexa's request. He could only remain silent without being able to give any answer. By now Alexa had returned to her room.It looks like Alexa followed him to the washroom and Shane didn't notice Alexa's presence. It looks like Alexa also saw when Shane kissed Ciara. Because of this, Shane had trouble sleeping and kept wondering."What does that mean? Is she really jealous or just wants me to be professional?’ asked Shane to himself who was currently walking back and forth. "There's no way Alexa likes me, right? She just wants me to play the role well. Yes, she does.’ muttered Shane.Shane tried to convince himself that Alexa wanted him to be professional, acting as her husband. Shane would continue to believe that. He only went to bed at 2am because he kept thinking about Alexa's words.The next day Shane woke up a little late. He quickly ran to the bathroom and cleaned herself up in a hurry.“Shit!” cursed Shane as he ran from the bathroom towards the walk-in

Catherine feels like vomiting blood when she hears a stranger refer to her as an old woman. While Steven, her boyfriend, always called her the most beautiful woman in Riverdale City."How dare you-""Enough!" Alexa interrupted Catherine. "From now on, my husband will rule this castle.""No way! I'm still Viktor Kingsley's legal wife, even though he's dead!" screeched an angry Catherine.Alexa chuckled and shook her head. "Did you forget or pretend to forget the contents of my dad's will? You only have a 15% interest in my dad's estate. 85% will belong to me and my brother after we each turn 25 or get married."Catherine was silent with anger exploding in her chest.Alexa continued her speech. "This main pavilion will be our domain as well as the west and east pavilions." Alexa's eyes stared intently at Catherine. "Because I am still being kind to you. From now on, pack your things and move to the south pavilion at the back of the palace!"Catherine's face was getting redder and so wer

Outside the room, the atmosphere was as busy as a hive of crackling bees. Uniformed guards stood guard like war statues, while others were busy preparing for the simple wedding between Shane and Alexa.The sound of footsteps sounded like the beating of war drums accompanying the preparations. The registry office officials arrived, their faces serious but understanding of the urgent situation.Three officers from the registry office had arrived, looking like judges who were about to certify the marriage in such a tense atmosphere. They were closely inspected."Please enter," said a guard in a stern tone, as if giving permission to enter the battlefield.Yes, the simple, impromptu wedding would take place in the room where Shane was being treated. The living room was beautifully decorated, like a palace ready to welcome its king and queen.Alexa looked elegant in a white A-line wedding dress with a deep cleavage up to the navel area, while Shane looked so handsome in his black suit, as

The seven men slowly rose to their feet, but one man delivered an unexpected blow. He kicked Shane in the head, sending the young man spinning through the air and within seconds his body hit the ground with the force of a fallen tree in a storm."Argh!" Shane groaned, his voice breaking the tense expectation.After seeing Shane lying on the ground, but still trying to get up, they quickly ran away from the area in front of the registry office that was now in chaos, like a battlefield in ruins. "Where are you running off to, huh?" asked Shane with his labored breathing, still trying to rise from the ground like a phoenix rising from the ashes. "Tell your boss to deal with me directly!"His shirt seemed to be sticky with sweat mixed with blood until his muscular body was clearly visible, making several female reporters scream hysterically like a flock of panicked seagulls."Mr. Morgan! Look at us!""He's an extraordinary man.""If he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I'm willing to be his

The old man smiled slightly. "Alright, but stop calling me master. I'm not your martial arts trainer. Now follow my moves."The old man began to demonstrate complex yet powerful martial arts moves. Shane's eyes gazed focusedly at the old man, following along closely, trying to mimic each move correctly so as to match and not cause injury.They moved hand in hand in the middle of the quiet bamboo forest, the breeze rustling the leaves, creating a mind-soothing atmosphere."Focus on your balance," the old man said, kicking the air with incredible speed. "Without balance, your strength is meaningless."Shane mimicked the movement, feeling every muscle in his body working hard. "I understand, Master. I will focus on my balance.""You-" The old man was annoyed that Shane was calling him master again.Despite his annoyance with Shane, the old man continued to train Shane in advanced martial arts.They practiced for hours, almost all day. The old man taught Shane new techniques, ways to dodg
