A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0485

Lynn stopped in her tracks and frowned. “I like him!”

Arianne didn’t actually reach for her phone, but the answer still made her gasp. “Tell me more...”

Lynn struggled internally for a moment before she decided to tell the whole story. “I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since I won’t be staying here anymore. I’m an orphan. I escaped from an orphanage with bruises all over my body, then spent the rest of my days begging on the streets. The darkest time of my life lasted until the day I met Mr. West when I was fourteen."

“The memory is still vivid in my mind. It was a cloudy day, but the rain never came. The chilly wind blew against my dirty body and tousled my messy hair. When he stood in front of me, I felt a strong sense of inferiority and desperation to be close to someone for the very first time. He told me that he liked the fierceness and tenacity in my eyes, then took me in and sent me to a bodyguard academy under the establishment of the West family. In order to receive his praise, I worked harder than anyone else.”

She paused and smiled bitterly. “I thought he liked me as a man would fancy a woman. Since he was only five years older than me, I thought there was a chance between us. I only wished to be a little closer to him, just a little closer. At that time, he was frequently training at the academy too. Apart from him, I was the best in the academy. I knew that he had countless women around him and I’ve always envied them for being able to be so intimate with him. When I took the initiative to confess to him, he rejected me. It was the first time he warned me so seriously that I was different from those women and that he wouldn’t do that to me. All he hoped for was that I could live a great life in the future."
