"What? What did I say?" Lion quickly realized he had misspoken and immediately changed the subject with his denial."You just said 'my lover' when I asked you. Don't deny and fool me." Alice protested, "Your face looks stupid when you deny it, haha," she continued laughing, and Alice's laughter made Lion smile, too."You look like my dead lover."Lion's words stopped Alice's laughter, "someone like you had a lover? Didn't she get tired of dating a cold guy like you? Haha. Don't make me laugh even harder. My stomach is almost healed, haha!" Alice laughed again at Lion's joke, which made no sense.How could a cold-hearted human as cold as the south polar ice have a lover? That's what made Alice laugh."Because I once had one, so I can say that she looks like you, or vice versa, you look like her," Lion replied calmly; Alice could see the smile on Lion's stiff face, "Ah, maybe not at all because you're actually different," he continued smiling sadly."Are you really serious?" Alice asked
"Hold your head up, Rose. You're not at fault if you don't reciprocate his feelings. I know you were traumatized by your life in the past, and things got better as time passed. No one will force you to accept Lion, not Lion, me, or even Sky. Your decision is your own. But...""I don't blame Lion with his feelings for you either. I would be happy if you guys got together and lived harmoniously like a normal couple. However, if things don't turn out that way, I hope you and Lion will still love each other as my children. I only ask that of you.""If Lion is so stubborn, then I hope that you will be the one to understand and handle your affairs without bringing division to our family, dear."Mr Jack's gloomy expression was clear in the eyes of his three children, especially Rose, who carried the burden of Lion's feelings for her."I'll talk to Lion, Dad. Please don't be sad like this. I'll carry the burden and not be able to avenge myself on them over there," Rose approached Mr Jack and
Rose changed her identity after returning to Indonesia. In this country, the name Black Rose is unknown to anyone; there is only Alice Vianney Reksa, the poor outcast woman.Upstairs of Starnight Bar. There was Alice with a red face because she had been drinking all night to accompany some investors about to tie up with her family's company.After Alice returned from abroad, she became Dena's secretary's assistant. Luna is an old girl who devoted herself to serving the Reksa family by running the family company. Now, she accompanies Dena to direct her to become the heir of Reksa Karya.

Aside from being good-looking and fluent in f
Alice slowly let go of the little boy's arms, which hugged her body. She opened the waist-length grey blazer that was still attached to her body to cover the little girl's cold lower body.Alice moistened the handkerchief from her blazer pocket and put it on the little boy's forehead. After the first aid efforts for the little boy were completed, Alice repositioned herself next to the little boy.She grasped the tiny hand and pressed it against Alice's cheek so that the cold palm would become warm. Then, gently patting the little one's arm, she made his sleep more comfortable.The eyes, already very sleepy, closed tightly, half hugging the tiny body beside her.***A gentle poke on Alice's cheek stirred her sleep. Alice's eyes blinked slowly. The weight of her eyes felt like they were about to open completely.The little guy was sitting beside Alice. For whatever reason, he wiped the cold sweat on Alice's forehead."Oh, what's wrong? You don't have a fever anymore?"Alice's first ques
At the same time, on the outskirts of the capital's highway, opposite Bar Starnight, a luxurious black car was parked surrounded by a group of people in black suits with their dark glasses.Noticing the horde of people in the same clothes scattering in front of the locked Bar Starlight.A middle-aged man with a beer belly, who appeared to be the bar's owner, and a thinner man, who was known as the bar's manager, stood in a line with their heads bowed and their bodies trembling with fear.This was because the little heir of Garendra Corporation, specifically the son of Sean Garendra, the company's CEO, was missing in their bar.Sean was still silently watching the chaotic situation in front of the bar with his sharp gaze. The deadly aura he exuded frightened all his subordinates with weak knees holding the vibration. To them, his Big Boss's anger was a tiny apocalypse, almost like waiting for death.A young man who had been kneeling at his feet, with a face wet with tears and nasal dis
"Bro, let me carry this woman. Give it to me!" Troy approached and requested that he carry Alice's body. Immediately, the little one blocked him by stretching out both hands to Troy."Have you seen, right? Let me carry her; you take care of that useless human over there!" Sean said firmly and ordered his younger brother to take action while referring his sentence to the owner and the bar staff.Sean walked out of the bar while the little one in his uncle's arms showed an unhappy face, as if jealous of seeing his daddy carrying his Fairy Godmother."Hey, Golden Boy. What else have you got to be mad about, huh? You're jealous of your own daddy for carrying that woman?" Troy teased his nephew; the little guy unconsciously nodded, making Troy laugh amusedly at the sight."Don't be mad at your daddies; be mad at those who caused your Fairy Godmother to get hurt!" Troy provoked the little guy while pointing at the staff and the bar owner.The little guy's piercing gaze made them even more f
Who would have thought that the boy Alice rescued would create a new relationship between Alice and Sean Garendra that would later impact Rose and Lion's relationship?Sean's first impression of Alice reminds him of a hot night with a strange woman a few years ago. Alice's figure makes Sean Garendra fall in love and become determined to get Alice.Likewise, little Shine Garendra found a mother figure in Alice, and vice versa.Let's ignore the memorable meeting between Alice and the Garendra family.Lion sent word of the enemy's whereabouts to Rose's men today.Mark, a young man of British descent, works as Rose's right-hand man in a mafia organisation under the auspices of Black Dragon called Death Rose.Apart from Mark, Ben and Rick are also Rose's confidants.Rose founded Death Rose with characteristics different from those of her adopted siblings. She equally accepts secret missions, such as killing certain people for high fees and illegal arms suppliers between countries. Still, A
"I don't care about your rules for refusing to deliver my goods. I want you to do what I tell you to do because I paid a lot of money just to talk to a cheap woman like you now!" the man said.'Cheap woman'Hearing those words, Rose's three men immediately turned their faces tense. They knew by heart that if anyone called their boss those words, that person was finished.Meanwhile, Rose, who heard the 'cheap woman' slur pointed at her, immediately turned her casual glance into a sharp knife that was about to stab.With one swift movement, after she stood up, Rose's left hand grabbed the man's face and slammed him into the table.[Braaak!]"Stay where you are if you still want to breathe today!" Rose snapped at the man's men who were trying to get closer.Meanwhile, Rose's three men were watching the exciting show from their boss.One of the fat man's men dared to attack Rose from behind.
