His Domineering Lover

Laura was a little nervous. She walked to Marcos's side and bent down to caress her child.

The boy, already sensible enough to recognize his mother, giggled at the sight of his mother.

Marcos's heart was about to melt when he saw this smile.

Seeing that they were getting along just fine, Aleigha, of course, left quietly and went upstairs.

Now all she had to do was to await Lainey's arrival and the scene she was sure to be causing. And that would be her cue. Following her original plan, she called Dustin.

She could almost feel how thrilled the old man was upon hearing the news.

Aleigha stayed in the Gardner house for a night. Marcos was so happy that he specially prepared a room for Laura and her son.

He, not minding the hassle at all, had people bring over a lot of things for the baby. As a result, Laura's timidness disappeared without a trace as well.

Having been well taken care of, Laura, who just had the baby delivered a month ago, was surprisingly beaming lively.

And such a sight was an utter temptation to Marcos, who could almost not hold back the urge to take the ripe apple off the tree and devour it.

The next morning, Aleigha went back to school. Outside the school, there were a lot of police cars, which made her quite confused.

'Aleigha, finally." Seeing Aleigha, Freddie rushed up in a hurry.

Aleigha looked at him with a slight chill in her suspicious eyes.

"Something happened to your dormmate," said Freddie with a hint of pity in his tone.

Aleigha's heart missed a beat, and she rushed into the school.

Along the way, there were countless students being stopped to be asked questions by the cops.

She rushed downstairs in one breath, where there were more people. Aleigha gritted her teeth, pushed through the crowd, and walked in.

"Hey, that girl there, you are not allowed in for now." Someone stopped Aleigha.

"I live upstairs." Aleigha calmed herself down and looked at the policeman calmly.

"Room 302?"

Aleigha nodded her head.

The police officer looked at her with a conflicted expression and sighed softly. "Your roommate was found dead at the bottom of the building this morning, we..."

"That's impossible. I saw her yesterday." Aleigha interrupted him. She met Natasha yesterday afternoon.

No way, no way.

"I can totally understand your disbelief in this but your dormmate, that is, Natasha Taylor, was found dead at the foot of the building this morning. The forensics have already placed her death at 3 AM this morning."

"We've also retrieved the surveillance footage from the school. It's true that she committed suicide."

"Why would she? There's no way she'd do that!" Aleigha felt her mind go blank.

She could almost see the smiling face of Natasha in her head, her eyes blinking brightly.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Calm down, you gotta calm down." The police could not stop the crazy Aleigha. With a moment of inattention, she rushed into the dormitory building.

Aleigha's eyes ached, but she resisted the urge to stop her tears from flowing out. She did not believe that the optimistic and cheerful Natasha would commit suicide.

There were still a few policemen standing at the door of room 302. When they saw Aleigha rushing in, two of them hurriedly stopped her.

"Where's Natasha? Where's she?" Aleigha cried out miserably and desperately.

"Aleigha, calm down, Aleigha, Natasha is gone, there's nothing we can do now." Freddie rushed forward and hugged the crazy Aleigha tightly. Seeing her like this, Freddie's heart ached as well.

"Why didn't you wait for me? Why didn't you wait for me? I told you to wait and it was just one day, why? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Aleigha's body went limp. She knelt on the ground and burst into tears. Her heart was filled with guilt.

She clearly was aware of the predicament she was in yet she chose to leave her on her own because of her own affairs.

"Aleigha, it's not your fault. It's not your fault, you don't have to..."

Freddie tried to comfort her, but she pushed him away and said, "Get out of my way. Get out of my way."

"My condolences, miss. But I'd have to ask you some questions."

Arthur Maddox, the captain of the task force dispatched to be in charge of the case, was drawn over by her crying. Seeing Aleigha, who was sitting on the ground and almost out of breath, he frowned

and came up.

"What questions?" Aleigha suddenly stopped crying and looked at Arthur with tears in her eyes.

Arthur was 27 years old this year. Despite his quite young age, he was an outstandingly capable member of the police force as well as the youngest captain.

Having been a cop, especially a

member of the Major Crime Squad, he had seen enough bloody scenes over the year to make him almost immune to grief. Yet the scene of a teenage girl falling to her doom still made his heart somewhat skip beat as much as he didn't want to admit it.

"What's your relationship with the deceased?" Arthur could've assigned his subordinates to do this yet he was driven by an impulse he himself couldn't begin to comprehend. He felt that there was more to this girl than she let on.

"She's my classmate and dormmate. Yesterday afternoon, I saw her for the last time before I went home." Aleigha wiped away her tears.

Out of Author's expectation, Aleigha held back the apparent sorrow that was all over her face and answered his question calmly, though still with tears whirling in her eyes. "Did she say anything to you? Do anything out of the ordinary?"

Aleigha frowned slightly as she recalled.

"Nolan Reid!"

Upon hearing this, Arthur frowned and asked, "Nolan, the second son of the Reid Group?"

Hearing this name from someone else's mouth again, Aleigha finally realized why she had felt the name

sounded so familiar. Nolan Reid, without a doubt, was Kendal Reid's brother!

"He'd been pestering her for quite a while but I don't know the details." A somewhat ominous premonition crept into her heart.

Natasha's suicide must have something to do with Nolan.

After being interviewed the questions, Aleigha left the school without looking back.

Adrian could finally have a rest. He looked at the newspaper on his desk, in which was the headline that involved him and Aleigha.

How outrageously daring the media nowadays was!

"Miss, you can't go in. Mr. Xiao is very busy, miss."

The door of the office was flung open. Adrian impatiently looked up, only to see Aleigha rushing in with a gloomy face.

He waved his hand and asked the secretary to leave.

"Aleigha? What are you doing here?" Adrian was both shocked and delighted as he stood up to welcome her.

Aleigha rushed to Adrian but didn't say a word. She reached out to hold Adrian's waist and burst into tears.

Adrian was a little surprised by her sudden outburst of emotions and the actions that came along. She caressed her back gently and asked softly, "A penny for your thought?"

"Help me. You're the only one who can help me this time. Adrian, as long as you help me, I will promise you everything."

Raising her eyes to look at Adrian, the tears in Aleigha's eyes flowed down her cheeks.

Adrian's heart ached and he hurriedly wiped away her tears. "I promise you, just say the word and I'll do anything."

"I want you to help me find out what Nolan Reid was doing last night."

Adrian was slightly displeased when he heard her request, understanding that her favor was to ask him to investigate another man.

"Adrian, this is the only time I'm going to ask you for something. If you help me, I'll be all yours!"
