Liu's penthouse was unusually quiet. Andrew stepped out of the elevator onto the top floor of Liu’s tower, his footsteps muffled against the marble. He turned into a narrow corridor and approached a blank wall panel concealed behind a decorative wood carving. He pressed his palm against the biometric scanner. A soft beep, He stepped inside.

A cup of tea rested untouched on the table beside her. She looked tired. Andrew watched her in silence, she shifted slightly, pushing the blanket off her legs.

Andrew jolted upright, gasping. His breath came in short, ragged bursts as he scanned the room—dim morning light filtering through gray curtains, the quiet hum of the air vents, and the soft weight of his coat folded on the chair.He was in his room. “But… how?”His eyes darted around, confused. The last thing he remembered was… the rooftop. Hannah. The conversation. And Taylor—Taylor was tracing the KAIROS list.He staggered out of bed, his bare feet brushing the cold floor, tension rippling through every muscle.Something was off.He murmured, “I don’t remember coming back.”He rubbed the side of his neck, checking for signs. No injection point. No bruising. Just a faint pressure behind his eyes, like something had been pressed into his mind and then hastily pulled back.His gaze landed on the phone lying face-down on the desk.He walked over slowly, picking it up.“What was the last thing I did?” he muttered.“Taylor…” The memory came back in pieces. “We were tracking access to Han
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Poor Background
It was seven o'clock in the morning, and Wilson Bridge College, one of the most prestigious universities in Lantana City, was bustling with a large influx of students heading to their various classes.Among the crowd stood Andrew Everest, a twenty-one-year-old college student with silver hair. He wore his eyeglasses and carried his bags, weighed down by the heavy books he lugged around every day. He was an orphan who had to fend for himself entirely.Having lost his mother just a year ago, Andrew was rejected by his family members, leaving him with no one to take care of him. Furthermore, all the properties left by his late father had been taken by his uncles, leaving him with nothing. The hardship of trying to support Andrew as a single parent had taken a toll on his mother's health, and due to a lack of money, she passed away in the hospital.Andrew always regretted his perceived incompetence in raising enough money to take care of his mother.As he made his way towards the lecture
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Amulet
Andrew was thrown to the floor by Stanley, his body bleeding profusely. Every blow from Stanley caused immense pain, rendering Andrew unable to move any part of his body. He felt as if the entire world was on the verge of collapsing around him. Unknown to him, a small trickle of his blood made its way to a green ring on his hand. The ring possessed a golden band with a delicate green gem embedded in it. Suddenly, the gem emitted a faint green light, coinciding with Andrew's eyes beginning to glow. Lying weakly on the ground, Andrew sensed a profound energy surging within him. It was as if the very essence of power was coursing through his veins. "Hahahah! A penniless freeloader like you can't even handle a single blow from me," Stanley jeered, relishing in Andrew's helpless state. Andrew's blood boiled upon hearing these words. Though he lacked the strength to stand, he could no longer tolerate Stanley's taunting. "I am not a freeloader!" Andrew retorted defiantly, his voice fil
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Revenge
"What on earth is happening here?" Andrew abruptly released Stanley's hands, unaware of the sheer force within him that had caused Stanley's bone to break.Stanley felt an incredible amount of pressure and pain from Andrew's hands, and he couldn't help but wonder how a small, slender person like Andrew, who didn't possess much physical strength, could withstand his punch so effortlessly and not only that had the power to shatter his fist.Stanley was bleeding as he turned his gaze towards the source of the voice, he noticed it was a lecturer. In an instant, he decided to portray himself as the one being bullied.The lecturer's attention immediately focused on Hannah, who was lying on the ground. Stanley, clutching his broken fist, spoke up, "Andrew! I told you to leave Hannah alone, and now you've attacked me. Why are you acting so wicked?" Stanley's words caught Andrew off guard, leaving him momentarily stunned.Despite his pretense of sobriety, Stanley couldn't hide the wicked smir
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Painful Memories
Andrew couldn't believe his eyes. He momentarily turned towards the exit before heading out and squeezed the complimentary card Hannah had given him and threw it into the trash can. Andrew immediately headed home angrily. ********** Andrew lived on the outskirts of the city. He stood in front of his weathered apartment building, its faded exterior displaying the signs of neglect over time. Inside Andrew's apartment, a simple and humble space, the worn-out door was unlocked, and he stepped inside. *Bammmm!* He slammed the door in anger, frustrated by the events that had unfolded before him. The small living area had different uses, but it wasn't in the best condition. The off-white walls were faded and had some cracks. The carpet was old and worn-out, and you could tell it used to be softer. The furniture in the room didn't match and looked like it had been passed down through generations or bought second-hand. There was a faded and frayed couch against one wall. In the middle of
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Secret Stash
Hearing those words made Andrew feel really relieved inside. He realized that overcoming the pain he had gone through was exactly what he needed to do. Andrew wiped away his tears, determined to regain his composure. He looked at the holographic projection of his father and asked, "What should I do now?" His father's hologram looked right into Andrew's eyes, showing a sense of purpose and wisdom. "First, you need to know that money can open doors and give you the power to make a difference in the world. And my son, you already have that power," his father explained. Andrew's mind was filled with confusion. He didn't fully understand what his father meant, so he asked for more clarity. "How? I don't understand?." "This very ring possesses numerous things. Years ago, I foresaw the potential greed within our family, realizing they would seek to claim the entirety of our fortune if anything were to happen to me. So in other to counter that, I established a concealed stash fund st
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Sudden Billionaire
After coming back home, Andrew sat down in his chair and felt a wave of relief. He placed the ring on his desk with caution, and to his surprise, it started to glow and showed a hologram of his father. Andrew was filled with excitement and couldn't wait to ask about the bank account. He eagerly said, "I've confirmed the bank account, what do I do now?" His father's voice from the hologram responded, "Enter the PIN and log in using your phone." Andrew reached for his outdated iPhone 6 and accessed the Golden Horizon bank app. Entering his PIN, he noticed an asterisk symbol at the top, obscuring his balance. He was curious as he tapped the "View" option. As Andrew tapped his phone screen, his eyes opened wide with disbelief. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my goodness!" He jumped out of his seat, covering his mouth in shock. The number displayed on the screen showed an enormous amount of money, with twelve digits representing billions of dollars. The sheer size of the amount left A

Liu's penthouse was unusually quiet. Andrew stepped out of the elevator onto the top floor of Liu’s tower, his footsteps muffled against the marble.

I Feel Like We Have Met Before
Fredrick leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, eyes narrowing as he tried to process the storm that had just hit the room.“Wait,” he finally said. “You’re saying Hannah’s in Liu’s penthouse?”Andrew gave a stiff nod.“And she’s pregnant?”“Yes.”Taylor was pacing now. “This... This changes everything.”Leon looked between them. “Does she know who you are? That you’re there?”Andrew shook his head. “She didn’t recognize me. Not with this face.”“What are you going to do?”Andrew walked slowly to the window and looked out. The Shanghai skyline shimmered beneath the late afternoon haze, the buildings casting long shadows across the streets.“I don’t know,” he said finally. “I don’t know what I can do.”He turned to face them.“If I go near her, I put her at risk. If Liu finds out I knew her before, everything falls apart—my cover, the summit plan, all of it. He’d use her. Or worse.”Leon leaned forward. “But she’s in his house. That’s already a risk.”“I know,” Andrew said, jaw tight.
She Is Carrying My Child!
The next morning Mei had already left for the hospital and Andrew was going to check if Liu was there as usual stepped out of the elevator onto the residential floor, his mind still clouded with the previous night’s meeting. He walked toward the hallway that curved past the sitting room, heading for the guest wing where Mei had once mentioned her private library. He figured it would be empty, and he could think in peace.He didn’t expect to see anyone. But as he turned the corner, someone walked straight into him and it was Hannah.She stumbled slightly, bumping against his chest. He instinctively caught her, hands gripping her arms to steady her, he saw her...it was really her.The soft curve of her jaw. The subtle scar near her left eyebrow. The way her lashes fluttered when she looked up at him in surprise.His breath vanished from his chest, she didn’t recognize him.“Sorry,” she said softly, stepping back. “I wasn’t paying attention.”Andrew couldn’t speak. His throat locked up.
Full Time Liars
The elevator slid down as Andrew stood beside Liu, hands clasped loosely in front of him. He could still hear Mei’s voice in his head: Her name is Hannah.Liu, for his part, looked strangely amused. He glanced at his reflection in the mirrored elevator doors and smirked.“My wife thinks I’m too harsh with people,” he said suddenly.Andrew looked over, silent. “She says it’s why I lose sleep. That maybe I would rest better if I let one or two people in.”He turned to Andrew with a raised brow. “You think she’s right?”Andrew thought carefully before answering. “You rest better when you don’t have to look over your shoulder.”Liu laughed—sharp and real. “See, this is why I like you, Li. You don’t flatter me. You survive me.”They finally stepped out into a private executive suite on the 52nd floor—one of Liu’s secured business floors, far removed from the family residence above. Two guards stood at the ends of the hallway. Taylor was already there as he had already come ahead of time a
Almost
The elevator ascended through Liu’s residential tower. Andrew stood alone, dressed in black from collar to cuff, shoulders square, eyes steady. The city below shimmered through tinted glass—clean, mechanical, heartless. Like the man he was walking toward.He had received the message less than twenty minutes ago:“Come to the residence. We need to talk.”When the elevator doors opened with, Andrew stepped out into the private hallway of Liu’s upper penthouse. It was like walking into another world—warm lighting, mahogany walls, soft classical music drifting from somewhere he couldn’t see. For a place built by a man with blood on his hands, it smelled like jasmine and eucalyptus.He turned the corner and almost bumped into someone.“Oh—Li!” a familiar voice called brightly. “I was hoping to catch you.”Andrew stopped mid-stride and softened. “Mama Mei.”Meilin Zhen—Liu’s wife—stood by a corner cabinet, placing a vase of fresh peonies into place. Dressed simply in a white blouse and bla
Antenatal; I Love You Like A Daughter
The rain that fell heavily at night had stopped by morning. Hannah stepped out of the hostel with a scarf wrapped tightly around her head.The coins in her pocket jingled softly with every step—her entire week’s worth of tips, spare change, and what remained from her last cleaning job.Just enough, she clutched the folded leaflet from the shelter in her other hand. It listed public hospitals that offered prenatal services in the city, and one of them, Red River Women’s Clinic, was circled in blue pen."Just get there....Just register.....Just try." They was crowded, too loud, too fast. By the time she arrived at the hospital’s main lobby, her palms were slick with sweat. She looked up at the signs—mostly Mandarin, with some awkward English translations beneath them—and approached the front desk where two nurses in white uniforms were checking papers from a young couple.When it was her turn, she stepped forward hesitantly.“Hello... I, um... I want to register... antenatal care,” she
My Inner Man
The elevator ascended through the tower. Andrew stood alone in the glass capsule, as he could see himself in the mirrored wall as he moved Forty floors beneath him, Shanghai.But here, on the way to the seventy-second floor, everything was muted. He adjusted the cuffs of his jacket and ran through the pitch in his head again. There were no second chances with Liu. A single misplaced word could tear everything apart. Still, Andrew's face was calm, unreadable. As the elevator slid to a stop with a soft chime, the reinforced doors opened into a private vestibule guarded by two men in black suits. Neither spoke. One waved a biometric scanner in front of Andrew’s eye. It beeped once.“You may enter,” the other said.Andrew stepped through the glass security gate into Liu’s sanctuary.The penthouse office stretched out like a blade—clean angles, matte black walls, a white marble floor that absorbed the sunlight pouring through windows.In the distance, the Huangpu River glinted like merc
My Guys Always Have My Back
Monitors lined the walls of where Taylor, Fredrick and Leon resided. Each was streaming security feeds, decrypted chatter, and scrambled comm logs. Taylor sat before them, expression locked in concentration.The fact that Taylor, fredrick and Leon not being arrested was a bit strange, despite the fact they were involved. To the public, it looked like an airtight case: millions rerouted through dummy accounts, data trails forged, and Taylor’s login credentials stamped across the audit logs.But inside the network, those who mattered knew the truth: Andrew had been framed.Taylor, Fredrick and Leon, weren’t charged—not because they were innocent, but because they were smart. They didn’t run. They didn’t hide. They stood still and watched the flames burn around them.They knew the moment they disappeared, it would confirm guilt. Instead, they played it slow—publicly cooperative, legally protected, and always one step ahead of the full investigation.The firm’s real players—those who orch
