Tiffany
Mei’s head turned slowly toward Zeke, her eyes flashing with horror. “Who is she, Zeke?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Tell me who is she?!”Zeke’s fists clenched at his sides, his knuckles turning white. This was no longer a party. It was a public humiliation designed by Xavier to strip him of his dignity in front of the whole world.He drew in a breath and faced her. “Mei,” he said, his voice steady, “I swear on my life, I have never met this woman before. This is all a setup. You know me. You're the only woman I've been with.”Tiffany scoffed, tossing her hair back, her painted lips curling with disdain. “Seriously, Zeke? That’s what you’re going with? Now you’re denying me?” She turned to the crowd, pouting with a fake hurtful expression. “How about all those nights we shared together? Were those fake too?”Gasps rippled through the hall. Mei’s eyes narrowed, her tone cold. “What is she talking about, Zeke? Tell me everything.”Tiffany’s lips widened into a cruel smile.
The secret lover
Zeke’s hands slowly fell from the desk. For a moment, he could only stare at her. Zeke’s chest tightened with rage. Everything now made total sense. Of course it was Xavier. Who else had the power, the influence, and the audacity to drag up a broken engagement from the past and parade it across the skies for the world to see? Xavier had deliberately painted Mei’s history in a way that humiliated Zeke, branding him as nothing more than the “second choice,” a man unworthy of Mei's love.But Xavier hadn’t stopped there. No, he had gone further. He had smeared Zeke’s name with rumors of infidelity, planting poison into the ears of Mei’s friends, her family—even Mei herself. That was so unforgivable. Zeke's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, jaw set, eyes hardening with a cold fire. “Very well,” he said gravely, his eyes boring into Mei’s. “I’ll come to this party tomorrow night. And I’ll make that bastard pay for what he did.”Mei’s gaze slide down to her hands as she placed
A cheating scandal
Zeke hummed softly as he steered down the main road. He was feeling good about himself.His mind was devoid of any negative thoughts. All he could think about was positivity.He eased the truck to a stop before a red light and he waited, tapping his fingers lightly against the steering wheel. Just then, a video blimp hovering by caught his eye.The video blimp floated lazily through the sky, it's massive LED screen displaying a commercial.At first, Zeke paid it no mind. But then, the bold headline made his stomach drop.«SCANDAL RESURFACES: Mei Zhao’s True Fiancé Revealed to Be Xavier Greyhound!»Zeke's eyes widened, a chill crawling up his spine. His knuckles whitened against the steering wheel as he stared.On the screen, photographs rolled across—Mei and Xavier smiling with their arms locked on each other at a gala years ago, her father Zhao Long proudly shaking Xavier’s hand.Zeke read the commentary underneath the images, his throat tightening:“Sources claim Mei Zhao’s current
The office encounter
Mei couldn't believe her eyes. Xavier was right there behind her desk, sitting like he owned the office."What are you doing here, Xavier? This is my office. You have no right barging in without my consent!"But Xavier coolly responded with a lazy shrug. "Don't take it out on me, Mei. I was going to wait for you. But your father insisted I stayed in your office. We had a wonderful conversation before you arrived. Seems he still holds me in high regard."Mei clenched her fists by her sides. "Then you've overstayed your welcome. I'd be grateful if you'd leave now, Xavier. I have a busy schedule today and I—""Hey, take it easy, tiger," Xavier cut her short, a playful expression on his face. "You work too much. Maybe you should learn to let off some steam—it might do you good.""Xavier," She warned. "This isn't the time nor the place. Leave. I don't have the time to argue with you."Xavier chuckled as he slowly rose from her seat and began approaching her. "You know that's funny. I only
A secert lover
It was 2:45.am and it was pouring rain outside the house. While Mei was fast asleep on the bed, Zeke remained awake in the sitting room, his fingers flying across the keyboard of his laptop. He was navigating through layers of encryption until he found it: a file hidden deep within a secure server, marked only by a simple dot. "Finally," he smiled and clicked on the file. A map of the world materialized, dotted with nine precise, beeping coordinates. These coordinates were the hidden locations of the remaining Rings of Power.Currently, he's with the Tiger ring while Lord Chen was with the Koi fish ring. Zeke's mind raced as he analyzed the whole situation. The full moon was only three days away. The other rings would be traced if nothing was done about it. Zeke knew better than anyone that Lord Chen was growing desperate.By running to the enemy, his uncle had committed the ultimate betrayal—fleeing to the Greyhounds.Lord Chen had likely told them about the ten rings of power.
Confession
"Xavier and I used to date. He was my ex-fiancé," Mei revealed.Zeke felt a chill crawl down his spine. He couldn't believe his ears. "You and Xavier were engaged?""That was before I met you," Mei said, her shoulders sagging. "We met at a business submit and we hit it off. Xavier wasted no time. Six months later, he proposed. My father approved immediately, but my mother... she didn't trust him. She said Xavier wasn't the right choice for me."Zeke listened quietly without interrupting her. His silence pressed her to continue."I couldn't help it," Mei continued, her tone tinged with regret. "I wanted to marry Zeke but my mother insisted I end it. It was hard but at the end, I called off the engagement. I was devasted for months but I managed to move past it. Eventually, my mother introduced me to you."Zeke clenched his jaw. It was true their union had been arranged by Mei's late mother.That was because Mei's mother was a good friend to the Rockechilds family. An arranged marriage
