"Cyrus, why don't you sleep in the guest room tonight?" Anna asked, her voice soft and shy.Cyrus nodded, got up, and headed to the guest room. The room was simply and comfortably furnished. Cyrus lay on the bed, his thoughts a bit chaotic.Meanwhile, Anna returned to her own room, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. She

Byron stared intently at Cyrus, his legs firmly planted, knees slightly bent, his entire body poised in a textbook-perfect defensive stance that looked like it had been pulled straight from a training manual.His gaze was sharp and focused, like a cheetah zeroing in on its prey. He was determined to block Cyrus's next move, no matter what. In his heart, he silently vowed he wouldn't let Cyrus score another point so easily. If he did, his reputation at school would be in tatters.Cyrus, in stark contrast, remained calm and composed, as if the tension in the air had nothing to do with him. The basketball in his hands bounced rhythmically against the ground, producing crisp "thump-thump" sounds. Somehow, the sound seemed to carry a hypnotic rhythm, syncing perfectly with the pounding hearts of the onlookers and pulling their emotions along with it.Suddenly, Cyrus made his move. Without any run-up or flashy dribbling, he lightly flicked the basketball upward. The ball le

Cyrus felt a wave of relief wash over him when he heard that Maura wasn't in a relationship. The tension in his body eased, and he didn't even bother acknowledging Kevin, who was still trailing behind him like an annoying shadow. Without a word, Cyrus headed straight for the classroom.As he passed the sports field, he noticed Maura and Lily standing in a corner, their body language tense. They appeared to be in the middle of a heated conversation. Curiosity flickered in his mind, and before he realized it, his feet were already carrying him in their direction."Lily, why did you drug me?" Maura's voice trembled, a mix of anger and heartbreak evident in her tone. "I've always thought of you as my best friend. What do you take me for?" She stared at Lily with disbelief, her chest rising and falling as she struggled to process what had happened.Lily scoffed, her expression cold and dismissive. "Maura, stop acting like I've committed some unforgivable crime," she said,

Cyrus leaned down, his lips brushing Rachel's ear. "How about this, Ms. Wilson? Give me a handjob, and I'll let this whole thing go. Otherwise..." He paused meaningfully. "I might just take you right here on the bus.""Absolutely not!" Rachel whispered back firmly. The very thought was absurd. He was her student, and she was a married woman. Such an act would be completely inappropriate."Have it your way then," Cyrus said as his hand suddenly slipped beneath her skirt."Ah!" Rachel let out an involuntary gasp. When other passengers turned to look, she quickly covered her mouth, her heart pounding.A knowing smirk spread across Cyrus's face. "Well, well... Ms. Wilson, you're being quite naughty, aren't you? No underwear? Were you planning this all along?""Don't be ridiculous," Rachel hissed, her cheeks burning. "I just... forgot them this morning." In truth, she had worn them, but her husband's morning teasing had left them unwearable."Really now? You

"That's okay. I've been through worse than you can imagine," Josephine said softly, her voice calm but filled with emotion. "You've probably heard about me—back then, I was paralyzed. It was only because of my husband's treatment that I recovered." As she spoke, her thoughts drifted back to those dark days when even moving her body felt impossible. She had been bullied by everyone, even despised by her own parents. If it hadn't been for Cyrus, she wouldn't be standing here today. No matter what happened, she would always stay by his side, unwavering in her loyalty."Of course, I've heard about it! Your story is so inspiring!" Maura's eyes sparkled with admiration. "You were studying so hard even while in a wheelchair, and now your story is in textbooks!" Meeting Josephine like this felt surreal. She had idolized her for so long and never imagined they'd meet under such circumstances."Hard work always brings hope," Josephine said with a proud smile. Maura's admiratio

Maura eased the door open and stepped quietly into the living room. Her eyes swept over the sofa, and she froze in place. Sitting there was a woman of such ethereal beauty that she seemed almost otherworldly. Her elegance and radiance made it impossible to look away."Who are you? Why am I here?" Maura asked, her voice laced with confusion. Questions tumbled out of her as if her mind were spinning with a whirlwind of question marks.The woman smiled gently and rose to her feet with effortless grace. Her gaze was warm, almost sisterly, as she looked at Maura. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Josephine, and I am—""Oh, you're the CEO of Thompson Group!" Maura blurted out, cutting her off. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning. She had heard countless stories about Josephine, a near-mythical figure in the business world. In just a few short years, Josephine had propelled the Thompson Group to unprecedented success with her sharp business instincts. T

"Wait..." Just as Cyrus was about to leave, his gaze inadvertently fell on Maura, who was lying unconscious on the sofa. In an instant, a palpable wave of murderous intent filled the room, spreading like a tangible force. His eyes turned as cold as ice, and an aura of bone-chilling menace radiated from him.Overcome with anxiety, Cyrus dashed forward in a single stride and knelt down to check Maura's condition. After a careful examination, he discovered that she had only been drugged and was not in immediate danger. He let out a slight sigh of relief, but the fire of rage in his heart burned even wilder."What happened here?" Cyrus's face darkened, his voice low and chilling as if it came from the depths of hell. Each word seemed to carry shards of ice, making the air around him frigid."Maura? What's she doing here?" Violet, hearing the commotion, quickly followed after Cyrus. When she saw Maura unconscious on the sofa, she was visibly shocked. She had seen Maura's p
