"Mr. Mosley, Ms. Herring said she wanted to go to the beach." Valentino waved his hand and bought the entire island so that Jade could enjoy the beach as much as she wanted! "Mr. Mosley, Ms. Herring was kidnapped by international traffickers when she went to save a friend!" Half an hour later, more than a dozen helicopters hovered over the human traffickers' base! The human traffickers thought, who did we kidnap? The daughter of the president? The netizens all thought that Jade must have saved the galaxy in her previous life, but Jade, who was caught and brought back, wanted to cry... Jade was already a world-class hacker, and she could defeat the world's top assassins. However, in front of Valentino, Jade could be a coward!
It was so painful that all the bones in her body seemed to have shattered.
In the abandoned factory in the suburbs, a girl was lying on the dusty concrete floor.
Scarlet blood flowed out from the bottom of her head, and her delicate little face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood underneath the skin.
Another girl, who was also fifteen or sixteen years old, ran down the shabby stairs. Looking at the girl on the ground, she said with a guilty conscience, "Jade, you fell down yourself. I didn't push you. Don't blame me!"
Jade Herring moved her thin lips and wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.
Lilly York was looking at the dying Jade on the ground. The fear and guilt in Lilly's eyes were gradually replaced by cruelty and satisfaction.
Lilly put on a greedy smile. A necklace with a blue pendant hung from Lilly's fingertips. Lilly stared at the blue pendant on the necklace with greedy eyes.
It's so beautiful! It looks like it has a sea of stars inside. It must be a treasure.
After admiring the necklace, Lilly glanced at Jade and said, "My family adopted you out of kindness and provided you with food and clothing. It's fine if you don't know how to repay us. How can you keep bothering us because we're taking this stupid necklace from you? You're so ungrateful!"
Jade looked at the necklace in Lilly's hand.
It's not a stupid necklace. It was left to me by my parents!
It was Jacob York who had made Jade's parents die and took her family's property and fortune. Jacob even pretended to adopt Jade. He treated her well in front of everyone, but he treated a dog better when there was no one around.
Lilly liked to steal Jade's things, and now Lilly even wanted to take away the only thing left by Jade's parents. Of course, Jade was unwilling to let Lilly have it.
Lilly smiled and approached Jade. Lilly was holding the necklace above Jades' face. Lilly swayed it back and forth. Lilly said, "Do you want it? If you want it, take it yourself."
Jade tried hard to raise her hand to take back her thing, but her bones seemed to be broken. Except for the slight movement of her fingers, Jade could not move her arms.
Lilly laughed happily. "Since you don't want it, it belongs to me! Don't ask me for it in the future."
Lilly took back the necklace and put it on her neck. Lilly took out her phone and took a selfie.
Looking at the selfie and touching the blue pendant, Lilly smiled with satisfaction. Lilly glanced at Jade lying next to her feet and snorted. Lilly said, "Just wait here and die!" After that, Lilly turned around and capered away.
After some time, Jade gradually became unconscious, and her soul seemed to be pulling away from her body bit by bit.
No, I can't die like this. I must live!
As Jade thought of that, her body seemed to suddenly receive a powerful force. Jade struggled to turn over and lie on the ground. All the strength in her body gathered in her arms.
Jade moved her petite and thin body forward little by little, leaving blood everywhere she passed. Even if her whole body hurt so much that Jade felt numb, she did not stop at all.
After coming out of the abandoned factory and climbing over the grass, Jade finally crawled to the side of the road. It was already nightfall, and there were very few cars on the empty road.
Time passed by. When Jade was in endless despair, a black jeep finally drove over from a distance.
Jade's dim eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. Jade tried to raise her slender arms and wave them in the air.
Finally, the car stopped by the side of the road. The backseat window slowly opened, and a chiseled profile appeared in front of Jade.
Jade raised her head and used the last of her strength to speak with difficulty, "Save me. Please save me."
The man looked down at the little girl who was in a sorry state on the side of the road with his long and narrow eyes. Jade was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her body was stained with blood, and her pale face was covered with dirt. It did not make her look ugly. Instead, under the moonlight, Jade looked miserable and beautiful.
Jade glanced at the intermittent bloodstains behind her that extended all the way to the shabby factory not far away. Obviously, Jade climbed out from there. Jade looked like she was dying, but she looked tenacious and the light in her eyes was brighter than the starlight.
Valentino subconsciously opened the car door and got off to approach her. He stood against the moonlight. With his tall and handsome figure, Valentino looked like a god. Only then did Jade see this man who had appeared in time like a god.
Valentino's facial features were chiseled, and he was extremely handsome. Jade had never seen such a good-looking man before. Valentino was a hundred times, a thousand times more good-looking than the male lead in comic books.
Jade watched as the man gradually approached her. She thought, he is going to save me, right?
Jade opened her mouth and wanted to say thank you, but when the perfect face was close to her, Jade blacked out.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
