Never Too Far Chapter 10 Hayley's Probe

Angry and annoyed, Erica immediately thought of Hayley, whom she reckoned was the only person who could help her plot against Anastasia. Therefore, she contacted her to meet her at a cafe. When Hayley arrived, she appeared to be in an inconspicuous outfit. Just like what she usually did, she walked toward Erica and sat down opposite her.

"You said you went away for a trip. Where did you go?" Erica curiously asked.

"Erm… It was just a short trip around the city for a few days. After all, I needed a break," Hayley answered in a panicky manner because she didn't want Erica to know that she had been living like a rich woman lately.

"What about your shop? Aren't you going to be back to business?"

"Nah. The shop isn't doing well lately anyway, so I've decided to take a break." Hayley appeared unconcerned despite the worrying situation in her business.

Erica responded in a huff. "Did you know? Anastasia got on my mom's and my nerves today. She is back, but that's not all because—she is now a mother of an illegitimate son."

Hayley was stunned when she heard that, holding Erica's hand while anxiously asking, "What did you say?! She has a child?!"

Noticing her friend's dramatic reaction, Erica paused for a few seconds and comforted the former. "That child is her illegitimate son. Are you worried that she'll bring the man whom we put up to a one-night stand with her and come after us? Relax, nothing is going to happen!"

"What does the kid look like? How old is he?" Hayley became especially sensitive, thinking that it was necessary for her to be aware of everything about Anastasia. Deep down, she couldn't help but wonder whether Anastasia's child belonged to Elliot.

"I heard from my dad that the kid is three and a half years old, and the father is probably someone she got laid with when she was living abroad," Erica replied unhappily.

Never Too Far Chapter 11 Anastasia's Rage

"Get out of my face! I'm tired of looking at your face!" Anastasia pointed at the door and yelled at Hayley.

"What's wrong? The man didn't please you well because he wasn't strong and fit enough? You'd better treat me with some manners before everyone in the company knows about your dark secret. If word about it gets out, I wonder how you're going to move on in your career."

Soon, Anastasia dialed the intercom and spoke to Grace. "Please come here." As soon as her assistant arrived, Anastasia pointed at Hayley, who was sitting on the couch, and coldly said, "She is not my guest. Please see her out of this building."

"Who says I'm not? I came here because I wanted to engage your service in jewelry designing." Hayley folded her arms, acting haughtily. However, little did she know that the necklace she was wearing was beginning to catch Anastasia's attention as the latter squinted and looked closer.

How come Hayley is wearing my masterpiece? Is the necklace really custom-made, or is it just a counterfeit that looks like a real one? "You'd better get out of my face before you piss me off." Anastasia stood up, speaking impolitely to Hayley.

However, Hayley reacted with a darkened look on her face and gritted her teeth while opening the door. "I'm going to speak to your manager about your attitude and make sure you're fired from the office."

Meanwhile, Grace was stunned when she saw that, initially thinking Hayley was indeed a guest, only to realize she was here to mess with Anastasia. As soon as Grace stepped out of the office, Grace anxiously urged her superior to do something. "She mustn't complain about you, Miss Tillman. Please stop her!"

On the verge of losing her temper, Anastasia opened her office door just before she was greeted by the sight of Hayley growling in the open workspace. "Tell your boss to see me. I want to complain about your designer, Anastasia! I engage her as a client, but she rudely turns me down and tells me to get out of her face." At that moment, everyone else in the office only watched the lady's madness in silence, as if they were enjoying a show.

Soon, Anastasia took a deep breath and walked closer to Hayley. "What do you want?"

Never Too Far Chapter 12 Anastasia's Way Out—Resignation

"Be a good girl, okay?" Elliot gently caressed Hayley's head.

In that instant, Hayley was over the moon, feeling satisfied that she had gained Elliot's favor. Unlike Anastasia, Hayley was flattered by the sudden entitlement that came to her life. However, she quickly decided to stop pressing on due to her fear of the repercussions that might follow her greed.

Furthermore, she was hoping to win Elliot's heart with her meek character. She tried to be as gentle as possible since she didn't have good looks that could make an impression on any man. Thinking she had won the battle, she believed Anastasia was going to be laid off soon and put her mind to ease.

As soon as Hayley got out of sight, Elliot reached for the phone and dialed the intercom.

"Hello." Anastasia's voice was heard.

"Come to my office at once," the man responded with a voice that sounded angry.

At the same time, Anastasia took a deep breath in her office, thinking her fate was sealed while preparing for the worst. Well, I'll just quit and leave Bourgeois if worse comes to worst. Then, she took the elevator to the 8th floor and made her way to the president's office, whereupon she knocked on the door and entered the room.

In the meantime, Elliot was sitting in his chair, giving off an intimidating aura that filled the atmosphere around his room. "Explain yourself." The man questioned Anastasia about her violent outburst earlier as a boss.

Anastasia squinted, thinking there was no point for her to explain anyway since she reckoned Elliot would believe everything his girlfriend, Hayley, said without question. "Who is Hayley to you?" Anastasia knitted her eyebrows and asked.

"Have you forgotten your place, Anastasia? You're my employee, and since you're in the wrong now, you should be the one answering my questions," Elliot replied.

Never Too Far Chapter 13 An Invitation to the Jewelry Fair

At the thought of that, Hayley reached for her phone and dialed Elliot's number.

"Hello, does it still hurt?"

"Elliot, I want to attend a jewelry fair. Can you take me there?" Hayley implored.

"What jewelry fair?"

"Let me show you a video." Hayley hung up the call and forwarded the video to Elliot shortly before she received a text message that briefly read, 'Alright, I'll take you there.'

Hayley exclaimed in excitement but accidentally hurt her swollen cheek in the process. As she hissed in pain, she began to curse Anastasia once again. "You're a b*tch, Anastasia! You're a jewelry designer, yet you can't even attend a high-class jewelry fair like this one."

On the other hand, Anastasia stumbled across the same video about the jewelry fair in her office and learned from the others who were invited that there were formal dress codes required for the occasion; otherwise, access would be denied. Due to that, she became worried, not knowing what she should do because she couldn't afford to rent a decent-looking banquet dress.

Just when Anastasia was worrying about her dress code for the jewelry fair, her train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a phone call, which turned out to be an unidentified number. Nonetheless, she answered the phone and asked, "Hello."

"Hello, may I speak to Miss Tillman? I'm calling from FH Clothing Store to inform you that our customer has just reserved a banquet dress for you. Would you be free to drop by and try it later in the afternoon?"

"A banquet dress for me?" Anastasia was stunned but quickly knew that it was Nigel who did it for her.

"Sure, I'll drop by later." How thoughtful of that guy! Anastasia reached for her phone and sent the man a text message with a grateful emoji. 'Thank you so much, Nigel."

'Don't mention it. I hope you love it!' Nigel replied with a big smiley emoji.

Never Too Far Chapter 14 Hayley's Fear

While the jewelry fair was held in a private exhibition hall with tight security, the alleys and streets around the place were sealed with security guards carefully verifying every guest who was invited to the event. Meanwhile, Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she went through the security check with her pearl-beaded purse. After that, she was ready to enjoy the privilege a VIP guest should have in the event, as she was ushered by a female concierge to the banquet hall.

Soon, Anastasia found herself in a grand-looking hall where she could see rows of glass cabinets, but since the event hadn't begun, the guests were invited to enjoy a buffet before they went on to take their seats. It turned out that Anastasia's seat was in the sixth row, which was a place that everyone wished they had. However, little did they know Anastasia considered herself lucky because her seat was initially meant for Nigel.

While the other guests slowly filled the empty seats, Anastasia found herself seated next to a man who seemed to be in his thirties. With his shiny hair and branded outfit, it would suggest that he was no ordinary man. At that moment, he fixed his eyes on Anastasia, finding her different from the others, even though there were many other pretty ladies around. "Nice to meet you, lady. My name is John Curtis. Here is my name card." John gave Anastasia his name card that read, 'president from Deluxe Incorporated'.

"Hi, I'm Anastasia Tillman." Anastasia introduced herself with a polite smile.

Meanwhile, there were two guests who arrived late at the exhibition hall. Noticing two silhouettes of a man and a lady entering the place with their hands held together, Anastasia couldn't help but wonder who came late, but when she looked up, she was instantly stunned to find out that they were Elliot and Hayley. Oh, boy! We're living in such a small world. Anastasia stared at Hayley, who was dressed like an angel, tightening her grip around her waist as she could barely hide her hatred for the latter.

On the other hand, Elliot was wearing an expensive black suit and a pair of delicate slacks, which accentuated his strong and intimidating aura. At the same time, every other lady, who had their eyes on the man, was all stunned to see the president from Presgrave Corporation, but when they noticed the lady who was accompanying him, they began to frown at her ordinary appearance and wondered whether she was his girlfriend. Nonetheless, they couldn't help but feel jealous of Hayley, wishing they could be in her place instead.

Chapter 1 one

Families always have problems, I know that.  Mine just seemed to have more than most.  My uncles had all spent time locked up and now they couldn't get work.  My mother was a drunk and my dad had never been in the picture.  To say we were dysfunctional was an understatement.

Somehow mom had managed to buy the house we were in.  It was small, just a few bedrooms and a kitchen/ living area.  It was full of people, though.

We became the crash pad for anyone in the family with nowhere to stay, which was pretty much everybody.  They blamed the bad economy.  I blamed the stuff they kept snorting up their noses.  Fear of another beating kept me from ever saying anything like that.

I'd had my own bedroom until my last uncle moved in.  Uncle Eddy told mom he "needed" to have a comfortable bed.  He was creepy enough he probably wouldn't have cared if I stayed.  My mother told me I could sleep on the couch, but she spent most nights there passed out drunk.  Occasionally I found myself sleeping in a chair on the front porch.

Chapter 1 A Night Of Drunken Mistake

Feeling as though she was on fire, Sheila Jones ached for some kind of relief.  It was as if she'd taken a swan dive right into a pool of molten lava.

A man's firm chest pushed against her, and she arched her back in response, whispering, "Niko, how could you forget me?  I miss the days when you still loved me."

Hearing the name "Niko," the man's eyes narrowed just a smidgen, and he pressed against her even more intensely.

"Hmm..."

As the first light of dawn crept through the window, Sheila shifted, and her hand met a searing chest.  Blinking her eyes open, she saw a strikingly handsome face.

"Hey!  Who are you?  Why are you in my bed?  What happened?"

Confirming she wasn't stuck in some weird dream, Sheila realized she was naked under the covers and let out a shriek.

Chapter 1 1

Headlights flashed, spinning wildly and careening towards a tree...  the drunk in the other car morphed into a clown, and cackled at him...  an explosion of flame and the smell of gasoline...

Mike shot bolt upright in bed, screaming and slapping at his chest and legs in a panic, trying to extinguish the flames that weren't there.  Wondering why he was beating the shit out of himself, he stopped slapping at the imaginary flames and began to rub his eyes.

"Another damn nightmare," said the voice in his head.  He was having the bad dreams still, less than when his parents had just been killed, but he still wondered when they would end.  "Maybe never," he said aloud, looking at himself in the mirror that sat on his desk across the room.

"Maybe you should jerk off."  The voice wasn't usually very helpful.

Mike smacked himself on the cheek, partly to punish the voice, but also partly to wake up.  He glanced at the clock, only 5:30.  Grumbling, he started to rise and reached over to flip on the lamp.  The door to his room creaked open.

Emma, his twin, poked her head in and looked at her brother sympathetically.  She cast a sad, knowing glance at him.

"How does she always know?" the voice asked.

"You okay Mike?" she asked, tiptoeing quietly into his room and sitting down next to him.  "Another nightmare?"

Mike lowered his head, not wanting to concern her.  She was like him in so many ways, but was also vastly different.  Sometimes it was hard to believe they were even related, others, easy to see that they were twins.  The voice in his head started singing that stupid Donnie and Marie song.

Chapter 1 Congratulations

"My child!  The letter’s here!"

Raven was playing chess with her godfather when she heard Nanny Rong excitedly shout at her from just outside the garden.  Looking up, the girl could only blink as the woman handed her the letter.  Meanwhile, Senior Choi looked at his little Raven, who seemed to be oblivious to what was just handed to her.

"Come on,” Nanny Rong impatiently egged on.  “Open it up already."

"Why don’t you give it to me and I’ll read it for the rest of us?”  Senior Choi chuckled as he waved at the nanny.  Looking at his goddaughter, he noted that she was still a bit tense.  “It looks like our little Raven can't handle the suspense."

At the instruction, Nanny Rong immediately passed the letter on to Senior Choi, while Raven was still a little shocked at what was even happening.  As her godfather quietly read the letter, she silently observed her surroundings, still unsure of what to do herself.

Chapter 1 I Won't Marry Him

Jennifer Lu was called back to the Lu's mansion on an emergency.

When she stepped into the living room, the TV was airing a report on the Gu Group.  Jennifer Lu stopped and looked at the giant LCD screen.

"The elections for the current CEO of the Gu Group is about to begin.  At present, Jason Gu, the head of the Gu Family, has not said much about the candidates.  It is reported that the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, Ryan Gu, is expected to win.  The results will be known after the Gu Group's board meeting."

The mention of Ryan Gu made Jennifer Lu's heart tremble.

'He...'

"Miss Jennifer, why have you returned?"  The servant's words interrupted Jennifer Lu's thoughts.

She usually would be on duty at the office at this time.

Jennifer Lu shook her head and smiled at the servant.  "Where is my father?"

"Mr. Elliot and Mr. Gu are in the study now."

Jennifer Lu frowned slightly.  "Which Mr. Gu?"

There were not that many people who had the surname Gu in the F City, let alone get near her father.  There could only be one person...

Ximena Griffin didn't know how many times she had dialed Ramon Mitchell's number in the past hour, but all her attempts had been unsuccessful.

She had just given birth to their baby.  How could he be this heartless?

The white hospital blanket crumpled in her hands, her vision blurry.  She bit her lower lip so hard in exasperation that her teeth pricked blood out.  Outside, she could faintly hear someone demanding for the doctor to keep the baby alive.  At that moment, she remembered that today was Ramon's wedding to another woman.

She knew he only wanted to keep the baby, not her.

He even already had a name for the baby and a new mother to replace her.

How preposterous!

Fighting back the tears and taking in the excruciating pain all over her body, Ximena held her baby tightly in her arms.

Chapter 1 Ending A Marriage.

"Here's the divorce agreement, Philip.  I've already signed it.  Please give it to Carlos Huo."

It was difficult for Debbie Nian to work up the nerve to hand the agreement that would end her marriage to Philip Zhuo, the Huo family's steward.

Sighing in resignation, Philip Zhuo went over the document and noticed clauses that made him frown.  He looked at the girl sharply and bellowed, "Debbie!"  Incredulous, he asked, "Do you realize how stupid this is?  I can understand if you want to divorce Mr. Huo.  After all, you haven't seen the man for the past three years.  But why aren't you asking for any money?"

At 20, Debbie Nian was an undergraduate.  Her father died and she didn't know who her mother was.  In Philip Zhuo's opinion, she shouldn't want a divorce, let alone get out of the marriage without any money.

Debbie Nian scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.  She was well aware that Philip Zhuo always treated her as a daughter, so she had no plans to keep anything from him.  "I...  I want to drop out of school," she stammered.

"What?  Why do you suddenly want to leave school?  What happened?  Are you being bullied?"  The steward's eyes widened in astonishment.

Chapter 1 The Heart of the Demon God's Sacrifice: A Clash of Destiny

A cold light appeared all of a sudden along with the sound of bones and flesh being chopped apart.  Blood.  Bright red blood was splashed across the white snow.  Behind the splash of blood stood a gorgeous woman, holding a sharp sword in hand.  She stared coldly at the enemies that she slaughtered.  No emotion could be sensed from her pale and calm eyes.

The woman was in a long and thin-layered dress in winter.  Her pure white dress had been dyed a crimson color by the endless blood.

Beside her feet, nearly a hundred corpses stacked on top of the white snow.  The blood that flow out of the corpses had also dyed the snow around her red.

However…

This was not the end yet.

The woman raised her eyes slightly.  On her pale but beautiful face, a pair of deep eyes took a glimpse towards the tens of thousands of people gathered in a circle hundreds of miles away, with everyone there staring at her in a greedy way.

Scanning through the faces one by one, the woman suddenly raised her lips to an angle, displaying her evilness.  She raised her hand and used one of the fingers to wipe off a drop of warm blood sliding down the corner of her lips.  The pale lips were covered by a trace of redness, bright but sinister.

79 people… who would be the next one?

Ye Qingtang had never thought that one day she would become the enemy of the rest of the world and be attacked by tens of thousands of people on Lingyun Cliff!

All these could be credited to the Heart of the Demon God located in her chest!

Chapter 1 Preface

If she knew before that this day was going to be her last, she would have appreciated her last moments with her mate a little more.

She could not remember the last words she said to him but she remembered what she felt just right.  Embraced in his arms, huddling against the warmth of the burning wood—she remembered she was happy.  Happier than she had ever been.

She didn't remember telling him how she felt, maybe she did not because she was too involved in enjoying the moment.   She remembered the way his eyes glistened against the fire, holding hers—his scent, calming in a way and at the same time, disallowing her to be away.  Also, smiling as his lips met hers.  She remembered wanting to tell him she was in love with him.

But she did not remember telling him that and it hurt.

More than the combined pain of a concussion, a bleeding arm and a silver bullet in her shoulder.   Any of her attempts to contact her mate failed.  When she was first brought here, she was able to feel his anger.  She could read this thoughts and hoped he would be here anytime soon but now as time slipped from her hand like fine sand, there was nothing left in her.  Her powers had diminished.  Her body had given up on her.

Chapter 1 Tragic Death

Inside an abandoned cottage in the suburbs, several doctors in white uniforms were dealing with a disfigured woman on the ground.  Flies and maggots were wriggling freely around her decaying body.

After two years of extreme pain, Sophia Anderson's nerves had long become numb.

A thick medullary biopsy needle pierced her veins without mercy.

Sophia bit her bottom lip tightly and let the blood rush from her body in one direction until her body grew cold.

After finishing drawing blood, the doctors left indifferently.

"Ruby, what brings you to this foul place on our wedding night?"

Joseph Clarke cast a disgusted glance at the stinking woman on the floor, and the house smelled lingeringly putrid.

Sophia's heart shivered as her bloodshot eyes stared dully at the man she had loved for years!

Sophia crawled towards him with the last bit of hope.

Joseph ruthlessly kicked her in the stomach, and Sophia slammed into the wall, immediately spurting out a mouthful of blood.
