Chapter 3 The house Adam and I lived in was one he arranged for us , but now I realized he hadnt just bought one , but two- one for us, and the other for Sweety , right across the street from our wedding home . After watching Adam enter , I carefully approached the villa . Peering through the gaps in the iron fence at the entrance , I saw several people in the yard , clearly having an outdoor party . A mans voice rang out , teasing from inside . Adams late , come on , lets drink ! Sweety , its your birthday today , how can you let him come so late ? Come , come , drink up , were not letting you off the hook ! Adam affectionately pulled Sweety Swift into his arms . Im sorry , babe , Im late . You know how troublesome Chill can be . It was a struggle just to get out . But dont worry . Tonight , Im all yours . The last sentence from Adam was particularly suggestive , and the teasing laughter of those around them grew louder . Wow , wow , wow , our Sweetie here sure has Adam completely enchanted . Chill , aside from her family background , what does she have to compare to Sweetie ? Always acting so much like a young girl ! Exactly . And dont even get me started on how she almost burned to death . I heard the scars on her body are as terrifying as snake skin . As I listened to their words , my nails dug into my palms , the pressure so intense it almost drew blood . 1 These people were Adams friends a bunch of second generation rich kids . Theyd always been friendly to me in front of Adam , calling me Miss Mone as if they couldnt wait to get in with the Mone family . But now , behind my back , they were mocking me , calling me a spoiled young girl ? Adams voice rang out with disdain . Why bring up bad luck on such a great day ? If it werent for her being Mone familys eldest daughter , who would you to get engaged to her ? What does she have to compare to Sweetie ? Hearing Adams words , Sweetys face bloomed into a sweet smile . The crowd laughed and teased even more . Only Adam could handle it . Chill is utterly devoted to you , and yet youre also winning Sweetie over . Youre amazing Once you two are engaged , your brother might even step down from the Carme Group . With the Mone family backing you , no matter how capable Carme is , hell have to hand over Carme Group . Itll be all yours . I felt increasingly disgusted and turned to leave the villa . Tomorrow was supposed to be my engagement day with Carme . Adam , enjoy yourself . The next morning , Adam didnt return until just before noon . He rushed into the walk in closet the moment he entered the house . I sat at the dining table , quietly waiting for him to come out . When he was dressed , he walked over to me and planted a kiss on my cheek . Today is my brothers engagement day . You could only stay home and be good . Ive been really busy these past few days . Once Im done , Ill spend more time with you . Chapte youre bored , you can ask Mom out for shopping . Dont stay cooped up at home . Ever since I was burned , Id rarely attended these kinds of events . After all , my body was covered in hideous scars , and not only could I not wear a beautiful dress , but I also had to endure the strange glances of others . Watching Adam hurriedly prepare to leave , I spoke softly . What if I told you that the person getting engaged today is me ? Adam froze in his tracks , then turned to look at me , his gaze filled with affection . Dont joke , Chill . Our engagement party is in a few days . Why are you throwing a tantrum ? Is your wound bothering you again ? You should go soak in the medical hot spring in the garden . Itll help ease the pain . Be good , Ill come back after the engagement . It wont take long . Looking at Adams retreating figure , I lowered my head softly . The medical hot spring in the garden was something Adam had ordered to be installed during the renovations . It drew from a natural spring rich in minerals and had therapeutic properties , which helped relieve ) the pain in my back . Those gentle moments still felt close , but the one who once showed me such gentleness no longer loved me . I stood up and dialed my fathers number .. Dad , please send someone to pick me up . Adam , I told you , today is my engagement day . Why wont you believe me ? 2.7 hajte Chapter 4 In CrushReel's ongoing romance novel, "All the Wrong Reasons," the protagonist, Andrea, faces a pivotal choice: either write a sex column or risk losing her job due to her lack of experience in that area.
