Alexa looked like she was thinking. “I need a good person who has a sincere heart like you to protect and take care of me.” Alexa's face instantly turned serious. “Especially since you're good at martial arts.”Shane rounded his eyes as he scratched his head. Even Shane was still confused by himself suddenly being able to do martial arts moves.Is he really good at martial arts?Even Shane was still not sure about all that. He had to get back to that bamboo forest dimension to convince himself that it wasn't a dream.Alexa ventured to grasp Shane's hand, then continued to say, “How about we get married?”“What?! Marry you?!” Shane's eyes, which were still staring at Alexa's face, widened.“Don't be afraid, guys. We're just contractually married until I get what's rightfully mine and find my missing brother.” This time Alexa's voice sounded fiery.“You must have your reasons for thinking of contract marriage with me. You can tell me, Alexa.” Shane looked suspiciously at Alexa.“Alright
Alexa was a little surprised, because it was the same disease that her brother had lost, but she tried to stay calm as she said, “It seems like you really love your brother. I can see how anxious you get whenever you think of him.”“My parents passed away a year ago.” Shane smiled bitterly. “So, I only have him as my family. I love him very much. When I asked for a little brother, God in his kindness brought him into our family life. A three-year-old boy I found in the forest.”“What? So you found him when he was 3 years old? That means he's not your biological brother?” asked Alexa, looking probing.“That's right. He is not my biological brother. But my parents and I love him very much. So what?” Shane looked confused.“What's your brother's name?” asked Alexa, who was increasingly curious about Shane's younger brother.Before Alexa's question could be answered, a nurse approached. “I finally found you here, Mr. Morgan. I've been looking for you. Dr. Gerard has been waiting for you.
Shane then told us how he found Drew. Shane, who was still in college at the time, went hiking with his friends and found Drew there in a state of dehydration and almost lost consciousness.Alexa shed her tears while clenching her hands into fists. “Chaterine and Raymond have to pay the price! I can't imagine how scared a three-year-old would be in a cold, dark forest. They really have no heart. They should get what's coming to them.”Shane said to himself, 'Apparently Alexa's life is much more miserable than mine. Even though she's a famous actress and lives with a lot of money. Who would have thought, behind her happy smile in front of the camera, there was a big gaping wound that was quite deep,' “You have to be strong, at least for Drew. He must be happy to see his real sister again.”Alexa smiled in the bitterness of her heart. “Thank you, Shane. My sister and I are so lucky to have met someone like you. With your strength you will be my and Drew's guardian angel. With my fortun
Not wanting to see those sickening faces again, Shane immediately went to his room and started to clean up all his clothes with trembling hands.Every memory he slowly had to leave behind and then forget. But the hardest thing was facing the fact that the love he once had for Ciara would slowly turn into ruins. He never expected that Ciara had played with the sanctity of their marriage bond.Shane had returned to the living room with a medium-sized suitcase filled with his and Drew's clothes. Without saying anything, he left the Winstone family home.Second after second passed until before he knew it, the day he had spoken to Ciara arrived. The day that Shane never expected to come. Yes, today is the day of his divorce from Ciara Winstone, his wife.Shane had arrived at the registry office first. He sat in the waiting room with a determined expression, waiting for the divorce proceedings with Ciara. When Ciara and Derek showed up a few minutes later, the atmosphere instantly became
"What's wrong, Shane? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ciara asked with a furrowed brow, because the look in Shane's eyes was strange.Shane smiled broadly before speaking. "I just wanted to tell you that love isn't my top priority right now. I'm actually hurt because I love you. That kiss was my last kiss to you. Trust me, you'll never get it again."After speaking like that, Shane left Ciara who was stunned because she did not expect that Shane's establishment was capable of behaving like that to her.Meanwhile, on the terrace of the registry office, Alexa sat staring blankly at the floor. Shane appeared to walk up from behind her, about to startle her. As Shane approached, Alexa shied away from him slightly. Shane was surprised, but thought it was normal. Maybe Alexa would only be romantic in front of others.Shane and Alexa stepped into the crowd of reporters from both online and offline news portals. Even some of the people present there seemed to dare to take pictures of th
Ciara and Derek were frozen, as if they had just been hit by a tsunami wave. If what Jordan Hale said was true, then they were in big trouble.The Winstone family's law firm and Derek Blackstone's advertising company were like little ants in front of the giant DreamScreen Productions or Jordan Hale's law firm.The reporters were still whispering about the drama unfolding before them. A young, up-and-coming lawyer like Ciara Winstone against a legendary senior lawyer like Mr. Jordan Hale.It was like a small fire challenging the ocean."See?" Jordan looked momentarily at Ciara Winstone. "Lawyer Winstone is silent?" Jordan chuckled. "I will show you the papers proving that Mr. Morgan is the owner and president director of DreamScreen Production."Jordan Hale opened a dark brown briefcase and took out two folders with the logo of his notary office."These two folders contain the original proof of ownership of DreamScreen Production. On both folders is Shane Morgan's name as the official
Shane tucked the necklace with the mysterious ring as its pendant under his shirt. He glanced at Alexa who seemed to be still busy with her cell phone. Whether Shane's feelings are just or not, what is certain is that he feels Alexa is indifferent to him.Whereas before Alexa was very cheerful and easy to familiarize herself with, but this time she was more concerned with serving the babble of netizens.Shane tried to approach the busy-looking woman. "Alexa.""Mmm ...."Alexa did respond albeit deafeningly, but her focus remained on the screen of her cell phone."Are we really married?" asked Shane hesitantly. Just a pleasantries to remove the awkwardness.After all, Shane was the one who had to follow the rules because he was basically working for Alexa for a lot of money.Alexa put down her cell phone, unexpectedly turning to Shane with a sharp glare. "Why ask again? We had a deal, right? Of course we're getting married for real, because I need a real marriage certificate as one of
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
