概要

He stormed into the room, his gray eyes narrowing as he saw the faint trace of a fingerprint on her face. Fury flashed across his face, and he demanded, "Who the fuck did this to you?!" She hesitated, aware of his explosive temper and scared that he might turn on her if she told him that his so called girlfriend, Davina had slapped her for mistakenly dropping a glass. "Nobody, just an accident." she replied, attempting to downplay the situation. A humorless laugh escaped Neil's lips, his gray eyes ablaze with anger. "Nobody? You think I'll let someone get away with hurting you? Tell me, Harrison, or I swear I'll make it my mission to punish every single person in this goddamn building." Knowing he never gave empty threats, Mia opened her mouth and whispered, "It-it was your girlfriend..." Few minutes later, Mia was astonished to witness what he did to his girlfriend for daring to hit her. "Nobody dares lay a filthy hand on something that is mine.

Chapter 1Suicidal

He stood before the vast glass wall, his piercing gray eyes fixed on the endless expanse of the ocean outside his private island estate. A cigarette burned between his long slender fingers, the smoke swirling around him as if mirroring the enigma that cloaked him. 

Without turning, he spoke, his voice cold and emotionless, "I won't set foot in the city unless it concerns my enemies, Davina. Tell General David I said that."

Davina, with her golden blonde short hair, approached him, her voice gentle yet determined. "Neil, you can't keep hiding from the real world. What happened two years ago was a mistake, you can't change it but you can stop it from happening again." She assured softly.

Neil's fingers clenched around the cigarette, and in a display of controlled rage, he crushed the burning ember in his palm. Silence lingered as he withheld his words. He knew he couldn't keep hiding from the world and it was time he got back on his feet after his mistake two years ago, but the thought of going back, was something that made him remember his deed and how it had killed not just hundreds but millions of lives.

Davina, undeterred by his rage as she was used to it, walked up and embraced him from behind. Neil, however, frowned in displeasure before he moved away from her embrace, his indifference palpable. He asked, "What did General David say about the mission in the City?"

Despite the hurt in her eyes by his action, Davina smiled and put on a more professional facade, explaining, "Your mission is in Zen City. You are to take a new identity as Professor Leo Bennett in Ivy Grove institute, find the Journalism student who leaked the information this morning to the media about the Da Kroll organization, and get her to reveal what she knows. General David also said the University is suspected to be one of the Da Kroll hide out. You know what to do next when you get there."

Neil's cold and indifferent demeanor didn't waver as he absorbed his next mission details, his gray eyes burned with determination as he clenched his fists at the word 'Da Kroll'. He might have been away for two years, but he wouldn't hide away when it has something to do with his biggest enemy!

****

Ivy Grove institute.

Mia grumbled internally as she hurriedly climbed the stairs leading to the rooftop of the university library. Swinging the door open she entered the open space of the rooftop.

This was her sanctuary, away from all the noise, away from all the people who do nothing all day but look down on her, and make her life difficult, away from it all even if it was just for a short time, to feel the wind blowing against her face, to breathe in the fresh air, it was all so refreshing and relaxing.

Life hadn't been easy on her, thus she wanted to forget her problems for awhile, forget the burden in her heart and her mind.

She walked to the edge of the rooftop closing her eyes, she spread her arms wide open embracing the fresh air as it came. Her thick fine brows were still slightly furrowed from the upsetting situation that happened earlier in the day.

She popped an eye open noticing something weird today on the rooftop.

'Why was there no breeze today?'

It wasn't like the air was completely still, it was just that the wind wasn't blowing as furiously as her heart right now. It wasn't blowing as hard as she wanted it.

'Come wind, come wash away all my worries,' she chanted but it was as if nature had no plans of listening to her today.

Today was probably a warmer day, because even though she was standing on this high up rooftop, the wind was just blowing steadily.

'This won't do, more air, more air, ' she inhaled greedily, but the anger in her was far from dying down. She opened her eyes placing her hands on her hips in frustration.

'Am I facing bad luck today? Even nature is not on my side.'

Just then an idea struck her. She moved forward, climbing on top the edge as she stood right on the stone edge of the rooftop.

'Haaa,'

Mia let out a sigh, the air wasn't too strong but it was enough to make her relax, she closed her eyes reeling the feeling letting go of all the anger she'd held within, she opened her arms as the wind blew against her face and brown hair.

Down below the huge library building of Ivy Grove institute, a guy was busy posing trying to take a selfie, just as he raised his hands up in position, he noticed his back camera was on instead of the front one, but as he quickly tried to switch it back, he noticed a weird person up on top of the building with arms wide open as if ready to fall off the rooftop. 

The guy panicked yelling. "Oh shit!  suicide, someone's trying to commit suicide on the rooftop,"

His shout attracted a lot of attention as a crowd slowly started to gather, gasps and murmurs filled the air. People pointing and talking about the pitiful suicidal person, everyone scared she'd jump any minute. Someone quickly called the police.

The girl in question was busy enjoying the fresh air, heights didn't bother her at all, she'd done a lot of physical activities in the past. But little did she know, her stupid attempt at relaxation was attracting a lot of attention and earning her the name of a suicidal person.

And soon, firetrucks filled the area. A few professors of ivy Grove institute and higher ups had been alerted, people started flocking to the scene creating an even bigger crowd.

The girl in question though, couldn't be more oblivious, with the loud white sounds she was listening to on her ear pods. By now she'd only been on the rooftop for a few minutes, so she didn't think it'd make a difference at all.

From behind her a few students who were initially inside the library of the university had all gathered on the rooftop, yet everyone kept a safe distance for fear of aggravating the situation.

"Isn't that Mia? Why would she want to commit suicide?" a short girl with two braids standing on the rooftop along with all the other students asked suddenly recognizing the suicidal person.

"Oh my god! It really is her. But she doesn't seem like a troubled person, so why would she get suicidal? " Another girl with red hair standing beside her replied.

"Being troubled doesn't show on the face you know, anyone you come across can be troubled, a pity though, she was such an adorable girl," A nerdy guy said squinting his eyes behind the glasses while shaking his head regretfully.

"Hey she's not dead yet, why are you referring to her as a was? " the girl with the braids snapped at the nerdy guy who shrank his head saying.

"Right, right, she's still alive, a pity though, that would have made the headlines tomorrow," He sighed.

"What kind of a man are you? A young girl is there attempting suicide instead of trying to save her, you're here wishing she were dead so you could make news out of it? How obsessed are you with your studies Carlos, it's made you into an insufferable jerk!"

"Tsk, am not the one wishing her dead OK, she's the one who's suicidal, why are you blaming me for it? " The guy called Carlos, replied shifting his glasses, and walked away to find another gossip group that thought the same as him.

"Didn't you hear? It was rumored that, the top story about that drug syndicate, Da Kroll, that attracted the attention of that big news agency had actually been claimed by Mia Harrison this morning," said someone from the crowd.

"What? Why would she do that? "

"She claimed that the story belonged to her and Diane stole it from her and presented it for her assignment project, but when she was asked to provide proof she wasn't able to, and Diane showed clear proof as she had posted it on her blog the minute she got the information, so that Mia was completely humiliated in front of the professors. She must have been depressed and humiliated to the point of suicide."

"No way, Diane wouldn't do such a thing, Mia was just attempting to slander her, she's probably jealous of Diane's intelligence."

"I know right, and she ended up making a fool of herself in front of everyone today, maybe that's the reason she's suddenly attempting suicide."

"So that's what happened, I always used to think that Mia was a sensible girl, turns out I was wrong, she even allowed herself to be driven by envy to the point of suicide, how stupid."

"What? Who did you say was attempting suicide? " Rayne, a young girl with wavy red hair suddenly pulled one of the girls talking.

The girl flung her arm free. She pursued her thin lips,"Isn't it that stupid friend of yours. " She snapped angrily suddenly disliking Rayne as much as she did Mia.

"Mia? But...." She cut herself short from defending Mia to go see for herself, she knew her friend would never do something as stupid as suicide.

Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life. The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard. She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters. But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem. All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish.

However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.
