Jesse 's POV:
It's been a week since I stayed here. I was only supposed to stay for three days but Aunt Hiromi forced me to stay. He said he could at least experience life in countries with barriers. It is said that life here is definitely better than outside especially and that Equinoxia is one of the richest countries in the world.
Now I'm leaving the barrier. My journey outside is about to begin. Whether there is danger or not, I will take full precautions. I have been preparing for this for a long time, giving up is not in my vocabulary.
"Jesse, what time are you leaving? Is it this afternoon or this evening?" asked Aunt Hiromi.
"Now I'm leaving in the dark, Aunt Hiromi. It's safer because it's already dark and there are few people outside. It will also be easier for me to run in the dark. Even though there is little light, I can still see the surroundings. One more thing, also so that no one will notice me," I answered.
"Are you leaving tomorrow? Early mornings like that? I'm worried and nervous about you," insisted Aunt Hiromi.
"Auntie, it's not possible. I have to leave now because I've been here for almost two weeks. Also, you've encouraged me to stay three times using that tactic. That won't work for me anymore and it will work now, " I said.
Aunt Hiromi sighed. Alas, Morgan is the same as me. Dad just stared at us and didn't speak. We were distant from each other and Aunt Hiromi and I became closer. Aunt Hiromi has a strong trip, Morgan said. He said that he only got to know her better now. He said that he used to just bow every time he passed in front of him, now they are still hugging and waving.
"Jesse, get ready first so you don't forget anything. Attorney Hiromi and I are going out first," Morgan said goodbye.
"Alright, I'll just woo you. Call me when we're going to have dinner," I said with a smile and Morgan said yes.
When they came out, I took a shower again. It's my second time to take a bath today. It's nice to take a bath, it feels fresh. So that I don't have a bad smell even though my body is naturally fragrant.
I took a quick shower and blew my hair. Aunt Hiromi taught me how to do it, it's a great tool to dry hair quickly. She also taught me how to beautify and groom. There were so many new tools that I didn't know how to use so he taught me. If mom were still alive she would definitely love them.
Next, I got dressed. I wore Dri-fit leggings. I then put on a dry-fit pink t-shirt before I put on the arm sleeve that Aunt Hiromi gave me. It is good so that I can somehow deceive the eyes of others.
They also gave me a semi-permanent barcode tattoo yesterday. I also got a hoodie and put it on. I will ask them if the clothes I have chosen are okay.
I packed my bags yesterday. I've already put on a few pieces of clothing and underwear. I also got a hygiene kit that I could use. I also didn't bring much because I will later file the papers regarding my studies and the scooter that I will be carrying.
I went down to the floor where the reception was. I arrived immediately because I used a private elevator.
"Hello," I greeted them as I approached our table.
Dad, Aunt Hiromi, Morgan, Julian, and that other girl I don't know are here. We will eat together because they will accompany me to go out later. I just don't know which of them will join me in delivering me out of the barrier.
"Eat a lot, Jesse. You'll be full," said Papa so I nodded.
I sat next to Morgan, across from Aunt Hiromi. Our food was delicious, as I always liked rice to be our dish partner. There is also grilled chicken. It is also my favorite as well as porridge. I miss Mom's cooking. If only he could see the outside, what would be his reaction?
I finished eating so I rested for a while. Dad said that I followed him because he said he had something to say while in the office. I should arrange my things before I go there.
I went to the room and took the final things that should be taken. I also wore shoes that were durable from my father's. I also wore a water-resistant watch so I could tell the time. It's high-tech, it can read my condition. How fast the Heartbeats, the breathing, and so on.
I went up to Papa's floor carrying my big backpack. I first knocked on the door of his office when I was in front of it.
"Come in," it said.
I went inside. Dad smiled at me and made me sit across from him. I dropped my backpack on the foot.
"How are you, Jesse? Are you ready? I have some things to give you that will help you. I also want to talk to you for a while because it might be a long time before I see you again," said Dad.
"I'm fine, I've been preparing for a long time. Oh, you've given me so much. Then you can talk to me at any time. I also want to say goodbye to you," I said with a smile.
Papa took out a small oblong box and a cube box. He also took out a plastic nag with a lot of money.
"This is a device that can translate all the words into the language you want. I have set it to the Filipino language because that's what you use. This too, I hope you accept it. You can use it in an emergency, be careful for using money. Let me put my little present on you," said Papa and stood up.
I just stared at him. He put the money in my bag while the device he was talking about was stuck in my ear. He put something cold around my neck. When I held it, it was a gold necklace.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
Sunlit hours found their affection glimmering, while moonlit nights ignited reckless desire.

Millie, spine straight and cheeks dry, felt her pulse go hollow. The sham split grew permanent; she quietly ended their unborn child and stepped into a new beginning. Brandon unraveled, his car tearing down the street, unwilling to let go of the woman he'd discarded, pleading for her to look back just once.

In a world ruled by bloodlines and mating bonds, Cecilia was always the outsider. But now, she's done playing by wolf rules. She smiles as she hands Xavier the quarterly financials-divorce papers clipped neatly beneath the final page. "You're angry?" he growls. "Angry enough to commit murder," she replies, voice cold as frost. A silent war brews under the roof they once called home. Xavier thinks he still holds the power-but Cecilia has already begun her quiet rebellion. With every cold glance and calculated step, she's preparing to disappear from his world-as the mate he never deserved. And when he finally understands the strength of the heart he broke... It may be far too late to win it back.
