Valerie immediately hung up the phone call from her uncle. She turned off the cell phone so no one would contact her again. For now, she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone, let alone any of her family members. Valerie exhaled, putting her cell phone back into her small bag. She knew her
Valerie shook her head, feeling warm water pouring out of her eyes. Now, her head was filled with suspicion of Noah. She regretted that she had trusted the stranger she had just met and that it was her cousin's group. However, that thought changed when the door to her room was broken from outside a
Noah beat them mercilessly. Although some of them begged for mercy and asked to be released, none of their requests were granted, and all of them could not escape the beatings that left their faces a complete mess with thick, fresh red liquid oozing from their temples, noses, and the corners of thei
Valerie had arrived at her home. Robert Charlton, her uncle who had been trying to contact her since yesterday, walked up to Valerie with an angry look on his face. "Where have you been? What were you doing all day yesterday? Why did you turn off your cell phone?" The middle-aged man with partially
"All the evidence is here, so you can't dodge it anymore, and we will process this lady's report immediately." The policeman told Tom not to make any more noise. Tom squeezed his hand tightly, annoyed with Valerie. He couldn't accept the police's decision to receive Valerie's report instead of his
Valerie nodded her head. They parted ways at the police station. Noah's two men drove her back. On the way home, Valerie thought of Noah. "What that guy did helped me. Even I can solve this problem easily," Valerie muttered under her breath, smiling out the window at the thought of Noah's face. "Ap
Noah looked at Valerie with calm eyes. "I want peace." Valerie nodded. She looked around and realized Noah was fishing with a fishing hook immersed in the lake, as well as a net and a fish bucket. "Then, do you have many fish already?" Valerie raised her head slightly to peer into the medium-sized
Noah exhaled. Without saying much, he moved to take Valerie's place and began to mix the seasoning for the fish using a selection of spices. The aroma of coriander, black pepper, turmeric, garlic, shallots, and candlenut wafted into Valerie's nose. So delicious. Valerie noticed Noah's hands were sk
Joxk and Romd, the two burly men immediately opened another door in the dark and cold room. With a rough motion, Joxk cut the ropes binding Evelyn's legs. "Shut up and walk quickly if you still want to live." Romd looked at Evelyn with a sharp gaze, pointing his index finger in front of the woman'
Evelyn cried out in pain, her voice echoing in the small room. Every pull of hair made Evelyn's body tremble, her eyes closed from the extreme pain. "Let go!" Evelyn, who still had her eyes closed, looked terrified and helpless. The atmosphere in the room was filled with tension, while Evelyn trie
Evelyn felt awkward, but also touched by the offer. "I don't want to trouble you further. I'll wait for my boyfriend here." The woman looked at Evelyn hopefully, then pleaded softly, "Please. I really want to do this. Just for a little while, and I promise it won't take long. I feel so grateful, an
It's been a few days since they started dating, and Evelyn and Noah's relationship is getting closer. They walked hand in hand towards the large library that towered in the city center. Evelyn looked at Noah with a happy smile. "Noah, thank you for driving me here. Even though you're busy, you stil
Today was Noah and Evelyn's first date as a couple. They had an appointment to meet at the city park. The city park looked charming in the morning with the sun casting golden rays through the green leaves. Noah arrived early, sitting on a wooden bench overlooking a small pond in the center of the p
Noah and Evelyn's lips parted. Their eyes met, falling into a meaningful silence between them. Noah touched Evelyn's lips gently with his thumb. "I'll teach them a lesson." Evelyn's brow furrowed when Noah suddenly started another conversation. "Them?" "Those two women." Noah's eyes flashed sligh
For a moment, the room was silent. Everyone looked surprised. Some people even blinked their eyes, making sure that they hadn't heard wrong. Evelyn herself looked surprised and somewhat embarrassed.

Throughout the process, Evelyn kept looking in the mirror, watching her transformation with admiration. Every touch and adjustment made her look even more beautiful. "Wow." Evelyn couldn't stop smiling. "I never imagined I could look like this." The lead stylist put the finishing touches on Evely
Evelyn looked at Noah with eyes full of shame and shock. Noah understood something was wrong. He grabbed Evelyn's hand, about to lead her away. But as they held hands, they were silenced by the presence of two women who emerged from the bathroom. "Come here, bitch! We're not done yet." Laura and Dy
