Chapter 2
With a cold expression, Alice looked at the man and asked coldly, “Mr. Richards, what is your
intention?”
“Alice, didn’t I tell you to come with me today to take our wedding photos?” Travis said. “Why are you
back on set filming again?” Travis was the vice president of the talent agency that Alice was attached
to.
Two months ago, he started to pursue Alice relentlessly.
However, Alice did not have any feelings for this vice president. She had rejected him outright.
Nonetheless, egotistical men seemed to be stubborn. He kept pestering Alice.
He even came directly to her a few days ago, saying the wedding photo shoot had been booked. He
asked her to go for the shoot today.
“Take wedding photos with him and marry him?” Alice thought. “That’s impossible!”
Alice had decisively acled as if she had not heard anything. She came to the set to film.
At this moment, Travis’s face was filled with anger. He grabbed Alice’s wrist and shouted, “I’ve been
waiting for you for six hours! How dare you lie to me!”
Upon hearing that, Alice forcefully pulled her hand away and looked at him with a sarcastic smile. “Mr.
Richards, I’ve never promised you anything,” she said. “So, I technically didn’t lie to you.”
“Da mn!” Travis said, gritting his teeth in anger. However, he could not bear to hit Alice. He said, “If we
can’t do it today, let’s do it tomorrow then. We can still do the photo shoot tomorrow.”
Alice was left speechless by his domineering arrangement. She rolled her eyes and assertively made
things clear again. “Mr. Richards, I have no feelings for you and don’t want to marry you,” she said.
“Please pursue someone else, alright?”
“It doesn’t matter if you have no feelings for me,” Travis said. “I have feelings for you. And that’s
enough.”
“Pursuing someone against their will is unlikely to result in a sweet relationship,” Alice said.
“Whether or not it’s sweet, you’ll know once you take a bite,” Travis said.
Alice was left speechless. She was exasperated by this vice president, so much so that she felt
helpless. She tried to control her temper, took a deep breath, and asked directly, “Mr. Richards, what do
I need to do for you to leave me alone?”
“If you become a married person tomorrow, I’ll leave you alone,” Travis said as he smirked. The
muscles on his face trembled.
“But I know that C-list artists like you have the hardest time finding a new agency,” Travis continued.
“You can only rely on me, and you must marry me. So, accept your fate.”
Afraid that Alice would disagree, Travis rubbed his chin and began to threaten. “You’re a smart person,”
he said. “So, you should understand that people are sometimes given a chance not once but twice, but
no one will be given an opportunity for the third time.
“If you don’t come to me for the wedding photo shoot by tomorrow evening, I will have the company
sideline you. No opportunities will come to you!”
TII bring you the marriage license by tomorrow evening,” Alice said. She sneered and waved
dismissively. Without looking back, she then opened the car door, stepped on the accelerator, and
turned on the ignition.
Travis looked at the back of the car. Determined to achieve his goal, he said, “I will definitely make you
mine tomorrow! Other than me, no decent man will marry an actress like you.”
Alice gripped the steering wheel. She was overwhelmed with a sense of unease.
Five years ago she was violated by a stranger and got pregnant. This unwed pregnancy angered the
Doyle family, leading to her parents gutting ties with her.
Her babies did not survive subsequently. However, this did not lead to her return to that home. Instead,
her father regarded her as a disgrace and sent her abroad.
After studying abroad for five years, she returned to her home country with the ambition of making a
name for herself. However, before she could establish herself, she encountered such a person.
If it weren’t for the fact that Travis had the power to stop opportunities from coming her way in the
company, she would have slapped him and made him kneel on the ground a long time ago.
“What he meant was that he would stop pestering me if I were to be married by tomorrow evening,” she
thought.
So, within twenty-four hours, she had to find someone willing to help her obtain a marriage license to
deceive Travis.
Within her social circle, there were indeed people who could potentially help her, but she did not want
to owe them any
favors

This was especially the case because those few people were the ones she had been in a relationship
with in the past.
Since the people that she knew were not an option, she had no choice but to spend money to hire a
stranger to help her.
The time when the film crew finished their work was before the rush hour. There were not many cars on
the road. Technically, it was safe to drive now.
However, just as Alice’s car made a turn, she suddenly felt another car crashing toward hers with great
speed.
In just an instant, Alice’s car collided directly with another multipurpose vehicle.
Both vehicles started emitting smoke simultaneously.
Realizing the severity of the situation, the offending driver did not hesitate for a moment. He
immediately turned his head and fled…
Upon hearing the cries for help from the children inside the multipurpose vehicle ahead, Alice quickly
unbuckled her seatbelt. Without chasing after the offending driver, she rushed over and opened the
door of the multipurpose vehicle.
The next moment, she saw three little children hugging each other tightly.
At this moment, the inside of the vehicle was in a mess. The chubby faces of the three little children
were pale. Their tiny bodies were trembling. Their dark eyes were filled with fear.
Alice quickly said, “Kiddos, are you all okay?
“Don’t be afraid, darlings. I will hold you and get you out of here.
“Come, give me your little hands.”
However, despite her words, the little children remained in a daze. They showed no intention of coming
close to her.
Alice thought, “They must have been terrified by the four-car collision.”
“Now, it may be more appropriate to tell them I will contact their parents,” she thought.
Then, Alice immediately checked the front seat. She noticed that the driver was unconscious. She
turned to the adorable child beside her, whose chubby cheeks resembled honey buns, and spoke.
*Honey Bun, come here,” she said. “Let me hold you first, and then I will help you contact your parents,
okay?”
“My name is not Honey Bun. My name is Aid…” Before the child Alice called “Honey Bun” mentioned
“Aiden,” he immediately noticed a small butterfly-shaped birthmark on Alice’s collarbone.
His eyes instantly lit up. He turned to look at his younger brothers.
Their grandparents said they were brought home by the orphanage director, so they did not have a
mother.
But in their dreams, the fairy mentioned that Aladdin arranged for them a mother who was even more
powerful than a fairy.
This mother had a beautiful butterfly-shaped birthmark on her collarbone.
The lady before them had the exclusive birthmark the fairy mentioned, which belonged to their mother.
So, they found their mother! Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
