“Are you okay?”
The greeting was gentle with a hint of concern and warmed up Allen’s cold and lonely heart.
Through the smoke, he saw the delicate gentle and petite face of his woman. From his memory it was the first time she looked at him with so much concern. His heart skipped a beat and he reached out his hand.
The next second Belle’s entire body fell into his embrace and he held tightly onto her waist. His strong shoulders continued to tighten as if he wanted to squeeze her directly into his heart.
She struggles and tried to gently push herself away from his embrace but he hugged her even tighter. His deep-toned voice said with a hint of smoke, “Let me hug you for a while!”
Belle stopped moving and quietly let Allen embrace her tightly. It was a little unbearable but Allen released her after half an hour.
He looked at her delicate face and even if there was no expression, her ears began to turn red and she was so adorable. Allen’s heart started to melt.
“Belle, don’t ever leave me. Never ever, I won’t be able to take it!” This night, perhaps was Allen’s most vulnerable moment in the presence of Belle.
Belle continued to let Allen hug her and agreed, feeling that Allen can give her peace and stability.
“Okay, as long as you treat me well, don’t betray me, I will never leave you, never ever!”
Belle’s voice was very gentle, and it was this gentle voice that put Allen’s raging heart at ease. It enabled his stone-cold heart to finally warm up.
Allen felt that the little thing in his embrace was his sun and she was the angel here to save him!
“I will never betray you and will treat you increasingly well!”
This night, Allen quietly hugged Belle in his embrace.
Initially, she thought that she will not sleep well with this man who she just met. But she didn’t expect that she slept very well that night.
…
Outside the Fullerton Hotel, there was an endless stream of luxury cars.
Numerous guests in exquisite evening gown and tuxedos entered the hotel. All of them were the elite of Freemantle City.
At the entrance to the hotel was a huge poster of two-person in an affectionate pose.
The man was in an expensive suit and looking down affectionately at the elegant and dainty lady in his embrace.
And the lady was dressed in a clean and white low-cut evening gown studded with diamonds.
She exudes elegance and magnificence with modesty and beauty of a lady. She looks at the man with a slight blush.
Belle looked at the huge poster from a distance.
Her cold and intense stare seemed to burn a hole onto the poster and if looks could kill, the two in the poster would have died a hundred times over.
She clenched her fists and pursed her lips as her gaze deepened.
She looked like a lone wolf looking at the two and laughed coldly.
Among these two, one was the man who she once loved but betrayed her with her best friend.
The other was her best friend who went behind her back to seduce her man and plotted against her. She managed to get her committed to a mental institution and she had to endure the torture for an entire year.
When she thought of it, the painful memories started flooding back.
She will never forget those pain and suffering and whenever her body was stuck full of tubes, she wanted so much to chew them up in pieces.
She was once high and mighty but because of them, she fell deep into the mud. That was why she swore that she would make them pay for what they did to her.
And she has just begun her vengeance!
The evil laughter eased off as she walked with the guests into the hotel.
As she entered, the entire place was decorated magnificently to emphasize their status and the grandeur of the occasion. However, to her, it was all an insult.
“Oh, congratulations, Master Walker is so fortunately to marry the eldest daughter of the Fraizer family who is as beautiful as a flower. Everyone is green with envy!”
Sounds of congratulations flowed as the guests entered the hotel.
“Much appreciated, Sir, please enter.” The greetings were accepted politely and everyone pleasantly mingled.
When Belle heard this voice, her body trembled and her face turned pale. She started to feel anxious, her fingertips numbed and a dagger seemed to pierce directly into her heart. The memories of pain came flooding back again and she was thick with hatred.
She turned around towards the handsome, well-groomed, smiling gentleman.
Although he just had a slight smile, he was full of confidence and class.
At that moment, Belle’s icy stare was transfixed on him and she coldly laughed. She clenched her teeth and shouted in anger, Ken Walker!
At that instance, her expression turned into a cold stare.
She walked slowly in her high heels towards Ken Walker. Her stare, her body poised to strike, her stiffness, was a frightening sight to all around her.
“Master Walker, it had been a long time!”
