  The waiter responsible was sweating bullets. What sort of bad luck was this. He should have checked his horoscope before leaving the house today. The woman in front of him was Xi Man. Her father, Xi Biming, owned a well-known construction company and was a good businessman. But his smarts were only useful for business and had nothing on raising a child. Xi Man had been spoiled since little and had developed a bad character because of it. She was a person that liked to show off and throw her weight around. Her background served as a good shield. She was a frequent customer of Tia. She often visited with her 'girlfriends' and they always occupied a particular private room in Tia, which happened to be the room Yu Yuan and her assistant were currently using. When she was informed that the room was unavailable, Xi Man felt like she had lost face in front of her girlfriends and she couldn't wait to drive out the occupants to establish her superiority. The waiter was currently f...

FREEDOM Elmore County Courthouse Sounds somber, I thought as I looked at the inscriptions etched in the entrance of the courthouse. The courthouse stood solemn and dignified before me as I'd always imagined.  Who would have thought, after 10 years of marriage, I would be standing at this place for the same reason over a thousand people do so in similar places every month, divorce? Divorce. It sounds so familiar yet so foreign at the same time.  I knew my ex-husband-to-be, Dave, for a year before we got married. When we got married, I thought we were in it for the long haul, but I was wrong. I was so in love I ignored the warning signs and continued to do so years after, even in the face of consequences. How did it start? I'll have to admit, it was like boiling a frog in tepid water. The frog is unaware, totally ignorant, of its impending death.  He isolated me from people that cared about me. It was easier for him to do so because I was an introvert. At first, he would sh...

  Starlight, Penthouse Suite Sunlight streamed through the windows falling on the figure reclining on a chaise lounge right next to the windows of the penthouse.  The penthouse was decorated in the Modern Classic style, the warm and elegant decor of the apartment reflected the taste of its owner. With a business magazine in hand, Yu Yuan slowly studied its contents while basking in the sun. Ring! Ring!! A phone rang disrupting the silence and peaceful atmosphere. Yu Yuan glanced at the screen of her phone, her brows furrowed. Seeing the name Li Na on the screen, her expression eased slightly. Li Na was Yu Yuan's best friend. They had known each other since childhood and kept in touch during the years when Yu Yuan traveled back and forth. Li Na was from the Li family, one of the wealthiest families in City A. She was the only daughter of the head of the Li family, but she had an older brother who was the current heir of the Li family. Yu Yuan picked up the call.  "Yu Yuan!...

Chapter 1 Thud! The sound of someone hitting the ground. The sound was followed by a loud groan. Yu Yuan glanced at her new martial arts instructor, Fan Hai, who was now sprawled on the mat and walked past him towards the handrail that held towels. Fan Hai stared at the retreating figure. His vision still contained a few stars from the throw he just received. I'm the instructor, right? he thought to himself still in disbelief over what he just experienced. Fan Hai was a well-known martial arts expert. He had started training when he was very little and coupled with his talent it was no surprise his name was placed in the top 50 of the list ranking martial arts experts in the country. One had to know that there was no shortage of people vying for a position on this list. The competition was tough, and this served to show just how good Fan Hai was. But all of these seemed useless when met with the fists of his new employer. When he received the offer to serve as an instructor...
