My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Hadn’t she promised herself that the next time she saw Orion, she would definitely give him a piece of her mind? But when the time came, not only did Xanthea not give him any grief at all, she ended up shamelessly accepting a meal from him. Worse yet, she had even taken leftovers home! It was utterly spineless!

How could she face him next time and righteously criticize him the next time they met?

One thing was clear as a leader, Orion knew exactly how to win people over.

Staring at the gift box in her hand–which girl could resist a sweet cherry topped mousse cake?

Orica: “Ms. Nightshade, good night.”

Although Xanthea didn’t want to engage, there was an old saying that one should not bite the hand that feeds. Thus, before closing the door, she still managed to say, “Good night, sweet dreams!”

But that didn’t mean she had forgiven him! Or that she had, well, best to try the cake first!

Had she just greeted him?

Onion paused, his hand on the doorknob, savoring her “sweet dreams” over and over before finally closing the door.

The large room felt empty and silent, devoid of any of the joy or liveliness when the girl was present

He slowly pulled his hand from his pocket, revealing a piece of delicate, sexy lace underwear embroidered with a cute Hello Kitty–her favorite cartoon character from childhood.

For the first time, he was this close to her–separated only by a wall, so close her most intimate piece of her clothing in his palm, yet he felt it wasn’t enough, nowhere near enough.

He desired to have her, to embrace her, to kiss her, to possess her completely and perhaps even to confine her to a place where she could only ever see him.

Despite knowing he shouldn’t get close, he repeatedly lost control, Indulged himself again and again, until he was too deep in the mire to let go.

In the misty night, the glow of a cigarette lit up the pink Hello Kitty and the man’s face, which was slightly contorted by strong desire, as if the gentleman shedding his disguise to reveal his true, sinister self.

Cedric was awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call, “Hello, boss, it’s late, do you have any instructions?” “When is the launch event for “Realm of Illusions?”

“The day after tomorrow, at the Glory Building.” Cedric perked up at the mention of “Realm of Illusions,” “Boss, you’re not planning to attend Ms. Nightshade’s launch, are you? The trip to Highcliff for the Everhart family has already been scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and you have a very important contract to discuss!”

“I’m just passing by.”

Hearing the phone click off, Cedric put down his phone in resignation

He knew his boss wouldn’t miss any chance to see Ms. Nightshade, even if she was still mad at him.

Before Ms. Nightshade had even noticed the President, he had gone out of his way to create coincidental meetings and gather information about her, not to mention now that Ms. Nightshade occasionally flirted with him, the President definitely couldn’t resist! Upon arriving at Oli hea Media,

Xanthea immediately noticed Oliver and Benjamin, who had been waiting for her in the office for a long time.

“Uncle, here I am… Movie King, what are you doing

hero?

Oliver explained, “Benjamin thought it would be better to go with you to the launch event today, to avoid any nonsense from the gossip

media”

“Nonsense?”

“You’re new to the industry. Benjamin’s status and popularity far exceed yours, and it’s his first time in a TV series. If he arrives late, those marketing accounts will claim he took the role only due to financial pressures and is not interested in working with you. If he arrives early, they’d spin it as you are playing a diva.”
