From Games to Genuine Love

2026-03-04

"What's the big deal about giving the pocket watch to Whitney, Daniel?" My sister Mindy's voice was tinged with impatience as she shielded Whitney behind her. "It's just an old watch—do you really want to ruin the engagement party over it?" Whitney's eyes were red, and she looked on the verge of tears. "Daniel, I just like it so much, that's all. I don't mean anything else. Please don't fight with Mindy..." "That's all?" I let out a cold laugh, pulled out my phone, and played the recording. Her calculating voice echoed through the Banquet Hall instantly: "Once I get the pocket watch, I'll stir up trouble to make them break up. Then the position of Mrs. Lewis will be mine!" Whitney's face turned deathly pale, but Mindy still refused to back down. "Even if she was wrong, you should have given in to her! If the Scott Family hold us accountable, can you take the responsibility?" "I can't take the responsibility, but I'll never compromise with Grandpa's family heirloom!" I clenched the pocket watch tightly, my knuckles whitening. Just then, Sophia burst in wearing a bright red dress, her eyes as cold as frost. "Daniel, are you making me humiliate myself in public for her sake?" "Sophia, let me explain..." "No need for explanations," she cut me off, her tone resolute. "Either give me the pocket watch, or call off the engagement. You choose." I stared at her determined face, then glanced at Whitney and Mindy behind her—one feigning innocence, the other unyielding. Suddenly, I laughed. "Do you really think this is just about a pocket watch and an engagement?"收起

Chapter 1 of "From Games to Genuine Love"

The crystal chandeliers in the Banquet Hall glittered resplendently, each strand of crystals casting delicate shards of light that left one slightly dazzled. The air was permeated with the sweet freshness of champagne and the rich aroma of roses, two fragrances entwined yet unable to quell the faint murmurs threading through the room, like slender needles quietly piercing this ostensibly perfect engagement banquet. "The engagement banquet is about to begin—why, then, has Sophia Scott yet to arrive?" A lady clad in a pink gown held a champagne glass, leaning close to whisper in her companion's ear. "Who can say? I heard she has fallen out with Daniel Lewis, apparently over a pocket watch." The companion raised an eyebrow, his voice thick with gossip. "A pocket watch? What sort of watch could provoke such anger from the Scott Family's eldest lady?" "I'm not sure, but it seems to be the Lewis Family's heirloom—an antique pocket watch." I stood in the corner of the banquet hall, fingertips clutching the antique pocket watch nestled within my suit's inner pocket, my fingerpads tracing the cool gilt patterns again and again. The patterns were raised and intricate, engraved with a complex lotus vine motif. It was a piece bequeathed by my grandfather himself, a cherished heirloom of the Lewis Family, bearing the weight of family memories and traditions—how could it be given away so lightly? "Daniel, what is the matter with you?" A voice tinged with reproach came from behind. I turned to see my cousin Mindy Lewis approaching in ten-centimeter heels, the crimson hem of her dress swaying lightly with each step.

The Widow's Payback

My son, Sawyer Evans, is in the emergency room being pumped—poisoned by my husband Frank Evans' mistress, Grace Lindsay. I kicked open her door; she was casually wearing a face mask. "You poisoned the milk?" My voice trembled. "So what if I did?" She pulled off the mask, smiling wickedly. I lost all control; the moment I plunged the fruit knife into her arm, Frank Evans burst in. "Ivy! Are you crazy?!" He shoved me aside and grabbed Grace Lindsay. "Yeah, I'm crazy." I wiped the blood from my face and looked him straight in the eye. "Frank, I want a divorce. I'm taking Sawyer with me." He looked like he'd just heard a joke. "Sawyer is my child; you...

The Trainee is the Commander's Daughter

My name is Violet Robinson, standing on the Special Forces Selection training ground, muscles taut beneath my camouflage uniform. Before dawn, the training ground was already crowded with silent trainees, the scent of sweat mixed with earth stinging my nostrils. Until Instructor Felix Shane stopped in front of me, his eyes locked onto the globally limited edition wristwatch on my wrist. "Here for the selection, or just here to show off?" His voice was as cold as a knife. I said nothing, only tightened the weighted gear on my shoulders—thirty kilometers of penalty running was both the beginning of my trial and the start of my humiliation.收起

Justice for My Daughter

I stared at Amy's post on my phone, my fingertips cold — the mole on the man's inner wrist in the holding-hands photo was unmistakably Charles's. "Charles, who is this woman to you?" "She's just my assistant. Don't overthink it." He avoided my gaze. "An assistant who wears a custom pink diamond? A wedding ring engraved with her name?" I slammed my phone down. "Was it her who added macadamia nut powder to Nora's puree?" Charles's face paled instantly. "It was an accident!" "She knew Nora was allergic! You knew it too, but you covered for her!" My eyes red, I closed in on him. Amy burst in suddenly, waving a bracelet identical to mine. "Lisa, be smart and get...

A Clean Getaway

My best friend, Ginny Sullivan, suddenly shoved an 80,000 bag at me. "Here, Zoe." "Are you crazy?" I pulled my hand back like I'd been burned. "Where did the money come from?" She grabbed my wrist tightly, her voice barely above a whisper: "Don't ask. Just remember, no matter what, take care of yourself." My heart was pounding wildly, and before I could react, she turned and disappeared into the crowd. Three days later, her husband Johnny broke into my house with the police. Her mother-in-law was sobbing hysterically outside the door: "My retirement money's been stolen—five hundred thousand!" "Zoe Smith!" Johnny's eyes were bloodshot as he lunged at me, grabbing my collar. "Give me my wife!"收起
