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

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

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,

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

Shane and Alexa made their way to Drew's hospital room. Alexa deliberately wore a mask so that no one would recognize her as actress Lexy Court. 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

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
