"Don't worry, it's fine," replied Serenity. She said that because... everyone in the Sanitation Office already knew anyway.The man on the sofa propped up his face with one hand while holding a glass of wine with the other. He took a sip of wine. The man looked handsome and clean. The seductive charm he unconsciously exuded could make any woman he so much as look at lose themselves in his deep, mysterious eyes.No wonder so many famous women in Solaria were attracted to him! Caleb stared at Jackson Valor, who was drinking alone, and could not help but sigh. Even though Jackson had many admirers, not many of them dared to make a move.After all, it ended terribly for some of the women who "took action" and ended up annoying Jackson. They became jokes in the city."Why are you drinking alone? If you're coming here, you should have brought the woman along. I really want to see what kind of woman could make you leave your grandfather on New Year's Eve," said Caleb.Caleb was really c

Aria wanted to kiss him, but Lucas refused.Lucas's rejection made Aria feel a little uneasy. After all, she knew how quickly Lucas changed girlfriends. He never had long relationships with his girlfriends, and he usually got bored of them within just a few months.Aria had to capture his heart no matter what. She did not want him to get bored with their relationship, and she did not intend to be his girlfriend for just a few months. She could not help wanting more the longer she stayed with him.After experiencing such a good life with him, why would she want to return to her old life?Besides, Lucas was charming. Aria glanced at Lucas's handsome side profile. Women could easily fall for him, and she was one of them.Aria wanted to be close to him because she really wanted him, not just for the glory and wealth. Whenever his handsome eyes gazed at her, her heart could not stop pounding. She wanted to hold on to him at all costs."My friends are here today. Let me introduce you

Aria broke out in cold sweat. 'Is he really... Could he be...'"What? Jackson? Do you two know each other?" Caleb was surprised. As far as he knew, Aria was just a C-lister. Logically speaking, Jackson and Aria had nothing to do with each other."Yeah. We met once," Jackson said indifferently.Aria's eyes widened, and her heart began to pound in terror. It was indeed him—the man who had been living with Serenity! When they visited Serenity, her family suspected he was someone Serenity knew in prison.Who would have thought?! He was Jackson Valor, the most powerful man in Solaria!Aria felt dizzy. What was going on? Why was Serenity living with Jackson in such a shabby rental place?!Lucas looked at Jackson and Aria in astonishment. He asked, "Aria, why didn't you say you knew Jackson before?"Aria shuddered and let out a dry laugh. "I-I didn't know who he was at that time," she said and hurriedly smiled apologetically at Jackson, "Mr. Valor, what happened before was a misunderst

It was not just that. After touching Aria's lips, Lucas would clean his fingers with a handkerchief, almost as if touching her was dirty.His contradicting actions filled her with doubts, but she dared not ask any more questions."You don't have to apologize. You're my girlfriend. You just have to think of me. Don't worry about the rest," Lucas reassured her.Lucas touched her gently, treating her like an important treasure. However, his voice was so cold and distant.Sometimes, Aria just could not understand Lucas. She had no idea what he was thinking and what he wanted."I-I understand," Aria stammered.Lucas then withdrew his hand and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief as usual.Aria bit her lip slightly. One day, she would make this man truly hers. She would be his last girlfriend and eventually marry into the Gomez family!Aria secretly swore this in her heart!***The holidays were over. Soon, Serenity returned to work. Many of her colleagues from the Sanitation Offi

Serenity had gotten used to rude people like this. Many people looked down on sanitation workers. Sometimes, people would accidentally bump into the sanitation workers and push the blame on them anyway even if it was obviously not the sanitation worker's fault."Okay, Xyla. It's just a small matter," Serenity said. Xyla and Serenity continued working and swept the floor. When Serenity changed out of her uniform, she suddenly found a small silver bracelet in the pocket of her uniform.Serenity wondered when this bracelet had fallen into her pocket. It was a night shift, and no one was in the Sanitation Office. So, she put the bracelet away and planned to register the bracelet as lost and found the next day.When Serenity got back home, it was dark and silent.The room was usually bright whenever she came back from her night shift as Jack would wait for her at home. However, after that incident... Serenity turned on the light and smiled bitterly at the coldness of the room.That nig

Serenity fumbled for her phone next to the bed and checked the time. It was 3 am, meaning she could still sleep for a few more hours.Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly sat up with a jolt. Then, she widened her eyes in terror, feeling incredulous.A man was sitting at the small dining table in her home, and he was playing with the silver bracelet she had found in her pocket earlier.The man looked like a painting under the dim light. He looked like a work of art drawn on the highest quality paper, using the best brushes and ink. He had thick eyebrows, a straight nose, thin lips, and beautiful eyes. When he looked up a little, his cold gaze seemed a little distant.She saw the man staring at her, but it felt surreal.Was this man really here? Did he really exist? C-could it be... Was it a bad dream?!"Are you awake?" The man's voice broke the silence in the room.Serenity snapped to her senses. It was not a dream! It was real!"W-who are you? Why are you in my

'Wait a minute...' Serenity jolted and looked at the man in surprise. 'H-how?' How did he know the bracelet was with her?Serenity had found the bracelet in her pocket when she had gotten off work at night. However, this man knew the bracelet was with her. He knew where she lived and had broken in silently. He had managed to do all that—who was he?"You found my bracelet. Say, what kind of reward do you want? I can give you anything reasonable," Lucas lowered his head, looking down at Serenity.Lucas could have left after retrieving the bracelet. However, he decided to stay after seeing Serenity's sleeping face.Lucas thought that maybe he wanted to see what she looked like when she was awake.She soon opened her eyes, revealing her mesmerizing dark eyes. Her naturally-curled eyelashes made her eyes even more charming.Her eyes were wide open, but the light in her eyes was something else and did not match her age. She seemed to have gone through many hardships in life. She lost t

Lucas Gomez. Serenity had heard of this name before.Lucas Gomez was the prince of the entertainment industry. The Gomez family monopolized many businesses in the entertainment industry. Word had it that Lucas was powerful enough to either make someone rise to fame or destroy their entertainment career.Lucas's influence in the entertainment industry was undeniable.When Serenity and Zeke were still dating, Zeke had mentioned Lucas before. The Shaw family was considerably rich and powerful in Solaria, but they were nowhere close to the Gomez family.Naturally, Zeke was not good enough to befriend Lucas.Serenity had also heard of Lucas's name from others. The gossipy women in the Sanitation Office often talked about him. Although he was rumored to be cold and unapproachable, Lucas had many girlfriends, one after another.Lucas would make the girlfriends he dated popular. However, he would eventually break up with them without hesitation and lingering feelings. He was said to be c
