"Why?" he asked simply, knowing she would interpret his question as she usually did. "I...I visited them today. The flowers on their stones were already wilted and...and...it broke me. I wanted to be happy and at the same time, I wanted to cry," Avery replied, inhaling short wisps of air before she continued, "Then I found the cellar." "Did it work?"

I happen to know a way to make you cry and keep you excited at the same time," he said. "Really?" "Wanna try it, Mama?" Avery nodded, slowly but firmly as he closed the distance between them. As he promised, she did cry...in pleasure. Note: This book is participating in the Cupid's Quill Contest. Your support is highly appreciated!

A marriage is between two people who are in love. But what if the marriage was fixed or arranged and had the potential to last a long time? Or can you fall in love with each other? Odette and Kiel's marriage began similarly, as a fixed marriage for a business. Odette Lim was known as the architect who designed some of the five-star hotels. Most of the hotels she designs are for her family. Odette's family owns the top five-star hotel and restaurant in the country and a construction firm that Odette's dad has owned for years. Odette was an intelligent and fearless type of girl. She was even part of a Taekwondo team when she was in middle school. Odette was the eldest child of the Lim family. Her dad was known for being strict when it came to business. But Odette was a daddy's girl; she got everything she wanted, but not in her father's deal with Mr. Lopez. Her father dared to seal the deal about marriage with the son of her business partner. Odette had no intention of falling in love with her soon-to-be husband. Even though she can make herself feel good, she knew the deal was just for business. She partied all night with her friends just to feel relieved about how her situation would be framed in the future without having the right to decide for herself. Kiel Calvin Lopez was a well-known billionaire actor and model. In his generation, he was known as the "Supreme Idol" for being the top endorser of luxury brands. His films were blockbusters. Together with his co-actor and real-life girlfriend, their love team was incredible. Kiel had a cold personality, and most of the people around him thought his arrogance just came from his wealth and fame. They don't realize he's doing it to avoid making his girlfriend jealous of other girls. Kiel was the eldest son of the Lopez family; he had a twin who was completely different from him. Kiel was the obedient son and the future face of the Lopez Group of Companies. He will take over his father's multinational corporation. Everyone knows that Kiel is next in line as chairman and CEO of the company, yet he wants to pursue his dream of being an international actor. Will he choose to marry someone he knew he had never loved as an obedient son?  Sloan Payne is an actress and model. Even though she was a great actress, some of her haters called him a "wannabe," and another fan thought she just used Kiel because before he entered the entertainment industry he already had a name because of his dad. Sloan was not from a wealthy family, just like Kiel. But she proved to a lot of people that she was not just famous because of her boyfriend but also because she had talent. But will Sloan agree to the idea that her boyfriend will not be her husband in the future and that she should get married to another girl just for business? When will her love be able to fight for their relationship?  In the marriage of two people, what disaster will it be if there is an intruder? Who will he have to choose between her wife and her girlfriend? Will they still have time to realize they've fallen in love with each other, or will it be too late to express their feelings? Will it be Kiel who falls in love with Odette? He was already aware of his feelings for his girlfriend, Sloan. But will he be aware of what he will feel over Odette? Or should he just ignore it because his mind still tells him it's Slovene? It will be too late for Kiel to discover it, or will he make a move to make things right between him and Odette? Or was it Odette who would realize she was slowly falling for her husband? She had a feeling Kiel already belonged to someone else. Despite my best efforts to keep feelings away from him, she never knew what her heart was saying. Will she fight her love for Kiel or let it go? Is it worth fighting for? Will she choose what will make her happy or not?

In a company meeting, I was listening attentively to the leader's lecture when I suddenly heard a charming voice. "George Wilson, the nerd, doesn't even look at me, but I haven't seen him for years. He's so handsome now. He seems pretty majestic too, and I don't know what it's like to be fu*ked by him." I looked up incredulously to see who was so bold as to rush to say such things at a meeting where the cold and beautiful chairman was present and to call me by my name directly. Did we know each other before? But I looked around and found that everyone was all serious as if they hadn't heard anyone speak at all, and I thought I was hallucinating, but I heard the voice again, "Gee, I really want to be nailed by him. Why don't I take him to my office later?" I was shocked to sweep from the face of each female colleague, but everyone was serious in the meeting, and only the beautiful chairman would glance at me from time to time.

Could it be that she was the one who just spoke? Did we know each other before?

Was it really her? And she wanted me to go to her office to have sex with me?

No matter how much his employees were against his decision, Xu Zhi insisted on making the new game his way. A month later, the game's open beta was launched.

In just a month, the company had earned more than a billion from that game alone.
