《THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON》Chapter 23:DARK ASSAULT AT RUE SAINT MARTIN PART 1

I miss him!
I can't believe this. I thought about it all day. This afternoon I couldn't even concentrate on the healing meditation mantra. My head is full of the man's shadow. It's almost midnight and I just can't close my eyes. I even miss his touch.
Should I call him? No! What should I talk about. He was gone only for three days. Tomorrow night he will be back. It will be funny. What will he think later. He'll be wondering why I called him all of a sudden. But why didn't he call me, maybe he doesn't remember me at all. Disappointing! So I'm the only one who remembered him here. Is it possible that there is a woman who is ready to comfort him?
I looked at the phone screen looking for his name. Maybe there is nothing wrong with calling for a moment, what is he doing there. Without realizing it I pressed the call sign. A second later I panicked and turned off the phone.
"Drtttttt"
My cell phone vibrated. Alexander called back, the call came in! I panicked, what to say. Don't I just pick up. He will definitely call Mr. Martin to ask me. Shit! I was forced to have to lift it.
"Hello" My voice was low.
"Alexa, you called earlier? Is there a problem? Are you okay?" Alexander immediately gave a series of curious questions.
"No, I'm fine ... I ... I ... uhh ... I thought I accidentally pressed the call button. There's nothing."
Stupid Alexa! Why couldn't there be a more plausible reason, I couldn't think. I already heard his voice, a strange feeling of relief creeping into my heart.
"Ohh"
I thought he was furrowing his brows there.
"Tomorrow you come back right. We can talk tomorrow. I'll hang up. Sorry to bother you" I didn't have anything to say, and I already heard his voice.
"Alexa, wait a minute"
"Yes?"
"I didn't call you yesterday, I have a lot of work to do, when I'm done it's late, I don't want to bother you. Now I just got to the hotel. Thank you for calling…?" did he realize I thought about it. This is embarrassing.

"I no just now I accidentally dialed your number" I answered haltingly, my voice sounding strange.
"I'll be back tomorrow night to Paris around 9 o'clock. I'll pick you up right away"
"Yes" now my voice is barely audible.
"Honey come here."
A faint little voice -a woman's disguised voice came over me! He was there with a woman!.
"Who is that Alex?" I immediately asked.
"Who do you mean?"
"Earlier someone called you honey. Are you with a woman?"
"Ohh no, you heard the sound of the television. I just turned on the television"
I heard a conversation voice louder.
"Ohh, alright"
I was silent. It was as if a cold knife had been stuck in my back. He is lying! Does he think I'm a kid who believes in such cheap tricks.
"All right, good night. See you tomorrow."
I quickly hung up on me. Immediately like a fool, my tears rolled down. He was unbelievable, just yesterday we talked so much, but a day later he brought another woman to his bed. I'm expecting too much. Just yesterday I said I couldn't accept other women. I thought he would listen to my wishes. How could he give up his hareem for a naive virgin like me.
Hahahaa You're stupid and too naive Alexa! What are your advantages so that you can tie it. I sobbed. I can't accept a hareem, it's an insult to me.
This marriage is for my clan, for our victory over the war. This marriage is only payment for their help. I am only a political instrument of payment. And as Joanne said, for Alex,… women are just sex partners! He never fell in love again. And I have to accept that, in addition to being his partner with the title of wife. Maybe that's a little more honorable. Like a queen with his king's concubine.
I decided to go out this Friday afternoon with my best friend Louise Le Goff. We spent a walk around Rue Saint Martin at 3ème. Part of the old city of Paris is filled with many old buildings, including the Jean Baptise church, several contemporary galleries, and many restaurants along the side of the street, and of course the Saint Martin Canal, a beautiful canal that is part of Paris. And now stranded in a Greek restaurant called Les Cyeledes.

I'm sad and depressed! Since last night I couldn't sleep thinking about my fate, a queen and her husband's hareem. The words were now being pegged in my head.
"Are you sure he's with another woman Alexa?" Louise held my hand.
"Hahaha he even screwed another woman during our engagement announcement Louise, I saw it myself with my eyes! You know what it feels like to be thrown on the ground !? Just yesterday we made peace when he apologized and I thought he would hold back, but I seem like I'm too naive about a man like him"
"Alexa" Louise hugged me.
"Alexa don't think like that. Maybe one day he will fall in love with you."
"Louise, you're kidding. He is a man conquering Casanova. He never fell in love." I poured additional wine myself into my glass.
"Alexa, please don't drink too much" Louise took my glass.
I hand over my glass in exasperation. Somehow I faced this.
"Let's go home, it's almost nine o'clock, won't you be picked up in a moment."
"Louise, I don't want to go home. I want to go back to London right now, I just want to cry as much as I can."
I think my mood is at the elementary level. I hate going back to the Mansion and my head is heavy from the wine I drank.
"Alexa come on, you said this marriage is for the sake of our victory in war. Maybe you will be able to get out of this marriage one day when this battle is over."
Louise's words made me think for a moment. Yes, maybe that's true. Maybe years after the war, I can arrange for a divorce! Maybe my life won't be so miserable up front. I just need to endure a few moments with this lie. And make everything look fine.
"Is it true?"
"Of course, you don't have to sacrifice your life for a guy like him. Do not be stupid. We can find a way, but this marriage is for the sake of our victory in the war. Be patient! Your family won't let your problems. If your father hears about it he won't let you be married any longer. I won't let you be sad like this. Now let's go home! You don't need to compound the problem of fighting with your fiancé tonight. Come on, get excited. You have me in Paris. If he messes, my apartments are large enough to accommodate you. You can run away there." I smiled and took a deep breath at the same time. We walked hand in hand toward the parking building across the street.
As we entered the parking lot, a loud sound like a can being being thrown startled us. I was silent while looking at Louise, maybe there is only someone who is in this parking lot. But why don't we see anyone.
We walked quietly and headed straight for our car. At that moment my instincts immediately told me something was wrong, I didn't even see the people around us. What could make that sound if no one was here.
It was only five meters to our car when I felt a very fast movement from the left towards me. I gasped for a defensive stance to protect my heart. My aura energy wasn't completely formed yet, a stab managed to penetrate my right chest and caused me to scream and projected power to the affected part of my body and caused the attack to bounce off.

The Heart Grows
Dungeon games? Yeah, they're a good way to waste a few hours. The trick is to know the map and plan appropriately. Of course, it doesn't matter if you get beaten. You revise your plan for that map and do a bit better next time. Man, it'd really suck to wake up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about, barely able to even work out how to control your dungeon. Lucky that wouldn't happen to anybody, huh? What with only having one chance at getting things right, you'd have to plan extra-defensive. This story should be getting chapters published weekly. I have a comfortable buffer set up and on top of the weekly writing I am committing, a commissioner has donated two monthly writing slots to ensure this remains on a weekly schedule. There will be a stat block at the beginning of every chapter bar the first, and a handy map at the end. All my works come with a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. This means you are free to download, publish, and even make derivative works of my writing so long as you include this license, attribution, and don't sell the works. Keep it free!

Celestial Teahouse System [Slice Of Life LitRPG]
“I guess this is the end of my lifespan? How pathetic.” An infamous Immortal Emperor from Black Heaven Realm was at the end of his lifespan as he shut his old and wrinkled eyelids, awaiting his impending death with a hint of regret. However, when he was on his last breath– the serenity was disrupted by a simple-looking pebble that started glowing intensely out of nowhere as it entered his dantian and he lost consciousness. After what seemed like forever, he finally woke up and to his amazement– he discovered that his body had recovered to the state of his once youthful self with his cultivation only regressing by a little, while ending up in a foreign world filled with modern technology– Earth. He realized that a mysterious robotic voice had suddenly established its presence in his mind unknowingly, issuing him missions and rewards that would help and guide him in a certain direction. Enjoying his new life with a carefree attitude in a new world, running a teahouse with the help of the Celestial Teahouse System– Li Qu will slowly unravel the mysteries behind the pebble and the reason for his transmigration. Was he the only one to do so? Or was there a deeper meaning behind all of this? Will be releasing chapters daily until it gets knocked off the Rising Star list. From then on, it'll be Monday - Friday. Important Note: It's written in a style of a 'Chinese-translated-to-English' type of story. I get the confusion in the earlier chapters, however– NO harem. It's mostly a turn-off-your-brain chill type of story. Author's Note: As this is the first story that I've ever written, there will be occasional errors and as such, please forgive me in advance.
