Ivy was secretly overjoyed at how lucky she had been. Back when she was by Huron's side, she was the latest addition, and also the least eye-catching one amongst the five beauties. In the end, all of them were buried alive overnight by Alex and Ivy was the only one who survived. She went to Lenny, merely hoping that she could make ends meet and not starve to death, but as soon as she came to Lenny, he became acquaintances with someone as powerful as Alex. Even Lenny had a feeling that Ivy was his lucky star, and Ivy felt the same. On top of that, Ivy did not think of Alex as someone scary. At the very least, even though Alex had not shown anyone mercy since he came to White Ocean City, with the only exception being Ivy, she was still at the golden age of eighteen. Any man would be compassionate toward her.‘And this pregnant woman! Hmph! She is merely an old woman in her thirties! How dare she refuse to help me. Today will be the day she dies!’ Ivy thought."How about this, Mr. Poole
Everyone's jaw dropped at Alex's words as they stared at the two in silence."I’ll belong to Master Powell for the rest of my life, alive or dead," Jane replied in an incredibly casual tone."But look at you now; you are the janitor.""So what? Compared to the abuse I received from my biological parents, the isolation I had to endure from my siblings, the four years of imprisonment by my in-laws, before getting chased out by you and almost dying at the hands of your fiancee, at least I have finally settled down now. I am grateful.""But I..." Alex didn't finish his sentence."But you are not!" Jane smiled quietly and lifted her gaze to look at Alex. "You won't give up, will you? It will always be you who gives the order and I will always comply. I left immediately when you asked me to go, so you thought I would come back with gratitude in my heart once you ask me to go back. But you didn't expect for me to disobey you. You can't control me anymore, so you feel defeated and reconci
Ivy immediately shed tears of gratitude. "I won't. I definitely won't, Miss Jane.""I will go in to clean now, then." Jane turned to head in with the teapot in her hand."Jane!" Alex called out to her, "My business here in White Ocean City is done. I'll be leaving in a day or two. From now on… "From now on, let's never see each other again. Farewell."But remember, I still can't let you go...""You can't let go of my body, you mean?" Jane asked sarcastically."That's right!" Alex admitted honestly. "No one could ever serve me as well as you did! I can never find another woman…""You can, if you want to." Tears begin streaming down Jane's cheeks. "You can take ten women here and they would serve you a hundred times better than I do from here.”"I hope you won't regret this!""Never!""Very well!" Alex sneered and turned to leave. As he walked, he spoke to Garrett, who was behind him. "Garrett, I've given her a chance. Since she refuses to take it, we will take off immediately
"Alex?” There had been a total of a hundred guests in the entire restaurant. No one had dared to call him Alex Poole; even Mister Poole was considered a bold way of addressing him. Most people there referred to him as ‘Master Alex’, and yet, the pregnant woman went and called him by his first name. She refused to comply when Alex begged her to go back with him earlier, and now she regretted it as soon as he left?‘Ha! She had gone too far by playing hard to get. There isn't a woman that's truly that noble and prideful; it was all just for show!’ they thought.Since she had gone too far with her plots, everyone was desperate to see what might happen to the deadbeat pregnant woman.The pregnant woman ran out frantically, supporting her belly, as the people behind her who were there to welcome Alex followed closely after her. They all wanted to watch her make a fool of herself in the most dramatic way possible. Among those people, ninety-nine percent of them thought that for a man like
"Alex..." Jane leaned against the window and called out to him again in despair.Alex stared at Jane coldly. "Say what you need to say. I've already made plans so I can't stay here for long. There are plenty of matters that await me back in Kidon City.""Alex, my mom…" Jane choked back on her tears, and suddenly realized that she was not in a position to ask for Alex's help regarding her mother. She had just asked him to leave in front of so many people. "You… You… I…""Say what you want to say," he said."You… You used to think that I served you well, didn't you?" Jane looked at Alex longingly."...""I think that there won't be another person on Earth who knows your needs better than I do; no one knows better than me about what positions you enjoy most; no one knows your body better than I do.""...""So Alex… Take me as…as your…" Jane simply could not bring herself to say the word ‘mistress’. She did not know if she even had the right to ask for it.Alex was still wearing h
Hearing Alex's low and hoarse voice only deepened the blush on Jane's face. She knew distinctly that Alex was flirting with her, and though she did not feel the same, she felt nothing but a sense of security.She had been with Alex for seven years, and she had always known that he had a good temper. If not for Alex breaking her heart overnight, Jane would have still considered him as someone with a great personality. The reason why she had completely given up on Alex was partly because of the fact that he chased her out of his house out of the blue, but there was more to it that she had never mentioned or told anyone; it was because she felt pained by the love Alex had for Lily. Seven, almost eight years of companionship, through riches and difficulties, they ate and lived together, day and night, but none of that compared to a woman from across the world. Jane was tossed out mercilessly as soon as that woman came back, and that was the main reason that Jane lost hope.Twenty days ag
"Alex," Jane called out to him longingly."Hm?""My mother…"Jane knew that this was the worst timing to ask for his help, but was her mother not the reason why she suddenly changed her mind?"You mother? What happened to the old lady?" Alex asked, knowing the answer to that question.Jane did not answer his question directly, but instead asked, "Alex, you came looking for me over and over again because you felt like you've wronged me, and because you missed the time we spent together in the past seven years, am I right?""Of course!""So deep down, you still think that I am great, do you?""You are irreplaceable in my heart, Jane. After you left, I realized that no other woman in this world will ever be as great for me as you."Jane suddenly took the initiative to seal his lips with a kiss, and even Garrett in the driver's seat could not help but look away. Both Garrett and Alex knew better than anyone as to why Jane decided to come back, and became this aggressive."Jane, y
Being called out by Alex had Ivy falling on her knees in fear. She started bowing her head over and over again. "Please spare me, Master Alex!" She never would have imagined that the pregnant woman would have the capability to turn the tables.Alex did not bother with Ivy's pleading and shouted at the driver ahead, "Garrett, where are those people that you buried from last time?""Master Alex, they are buried at the field in the West--""Alex!" Suddenly, Jane interrupted him."What is it, Jane?" he asked gently."Alex, back in those two nights and one day that I spent at Huron's, it's true that when everyone was bullying me, this young lady gave me a piece of bread so that I didn't starve. But when she asked for my help, I didn't save her. It's okay. I don't hold grudges against her. There's no need to kill for my sake." Jane paused for a moment before adding, "That woman who got mad at me back in the restaurant as well. I don't want to care about her. It's fine. I just want to se
