In front of people, I was the cold hearing-impaired beauty from the Law Department of National Chevening University known to everyone.
Behind people, I was the canary who was cared for by Felix in every way. I loved Felix so much that I almost lost myself.
I was even willing to give up my dignity and let Felix take countless naked photos.
In the top floor office of Houston Group.
After a round of lovemaking, I leaned on Felix's chest, feeling the man's heartbeat that was still unsatisfied.
"Felix, you always say that the wedding will be held next week, but you have never let me get involved in the wedding. Tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me?"
Felix was slightly startled, but soon a doting smile appeared on his face again.
"Alice, you will always be my only one. From the day I was with you, I have been planning our wedding. I promise you that in a week, you will be the happiest bride in North City. As for the details of the wedding, which are troublesome and laborious, we, men, only need to do it."
He didn't allow me to ask more questions, leaned over and kissed me on the forehead, then tidied his clothes and left.
But Felix didn't know that the canary, who had been imprisoned for too long, yearned for freedom after all.
While he was not paying attention, I quietly followed him and came to the door of a lounge in the group.
The familiar sounds of talking and laughing came from the room one after another.
The hearing aid I wore was specially customized for me by Felix and the frequency of receiving sound could be freely adjusted.
So it had never been difficult for me to hear the content of the conversation in the room.
"Felix, I see you've had sex again today, you look good! I didn't expect Alicia to be such a slut in front of you and behind people's back. When are you going to show us the photo of the school beauty? We're dying of jealousy!"
The words came into the hearing aid and my breathing suddenly stagnated and I froze in place as if an electric current had passed through my body.
"I heard that Alicia, this idiot, still doesn't know that the person Felix is going to marry is Miss Murphy and that the wedding next week is a marriage planned by the Houston Family and the Murphy Family long ago."
Under the urging of the crowd, Felix slowly spoke with inexplicable confidence and confidence.
"The main reason why I am with Alicia is because of her brother William Grey. After all, his subordinates are in charge of a case that can ruin our group."
"There is no rush for the photo. It will definitely be released when it is time. Now everyone should cooperate with me to continue acting. If William dares to go against me in the future, I will use Alicia's photo as a threat. I don't believe he will regard his career as more important than his sister's reputation."
Outside the door, I clenched my fists tightly and my nails dug deep into my palms, leaving a bright red crescent.
Tears had already accumulated in my eyes and they burst out the moment I turned around and left.
I came to North City to study at the best political science and law University in Germany, also to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer.
At a party three years ago, I was deliberately drunk and almost became a tool for a strange man to have fun.
When Felix rushed into the room, my clothes had already been torn off and I fell unconscious on the bed.
It was he who raised his fist to injure the strange man and personally picked me up and took me home.
Later, I followed Felix, from being his intern assistant to becoming his canary who was pampered by him.
He said sweet words to me in person and promised that he would marry me home in a grand manner after three years.
Naively, I thought I had met the person destined for me.
But now the truth was revealed.
All these years, I was just a tool that Felix found to satisfy his desires and a means for him to maintain his business empire.
Being his canary, there was no heaven on earth, but an endless sea of ??hatred.
After leaving the company, I took the initiative to call my adoptive parents in Rockbottom.
"Mom and Dad, I want to come back to work with you after graduation. I don't want to stay in North City."
"I have thought about the marriage you mentioned before and I will let you arrange it."
For the rest of the time, let me join the game and uncover the crimes that Felix tried his best to cover up.
Felix and I would not be lovers envied by thousands of people, but sworn enemies.
Hearing my familiar voice, my adoptive mother on the other end of the phone was so excited that she almost fainted.
Come to think of it, I hadnt contacted her for a while.
"My dear, mom and dad have always treated you as our own daughter. We have always respected your choice and will never sacrifice your happiness for our own interests!"
"Don't talk about married or not for now. I heard from your brother that you have a boyfriend who you have been dating for three years and you love him to death, right?"
After a moment of silence, I couldn't control my emotions and cried out, "Mom and Dad, this should have been over long ago. Now I just want to be with you."
In the evening, I returned to the villa that Felix bought for me.
At the beginning, in order to prove my ability to my parents, I took the initiative to stop living expenses, but naively relied on Felix for support.
After being Felix's canary for three years, he gave me tens of thousands of rare treasures.
We went to more than a dozen countries for our honeymoon together, leaving behind more than a dozen thick photo albums. Keeping these now would only made people sick.
I personally sent the valuable gifts to the pawn shop and exchanged them for a long string of numbers in my bank card.
Then I threw the photo album into the fireplace and burned it to ashes.
At the same time, another call came in from Rockbottom.
"Alice, my parents said you are going back to Rockbottom. Did you encounter anything there?"
It was my brother William's voice. I didn't want my brother to worry too much, so I just used vague words to evade the question.
"I'm fine, I just miss home."
"By the way, brother, I have passed the bar exam. I want to work in our family's law firm in the second half of the year. Do you have any objections?"
William was surprised by my decision, but he agreed readily.
"Why would I have any objection? I'd love to have it. You're a top student at the University of Chevening Political Science and Law!"
After a few seconds of silence, William on the other end of the phone seemed to have noticed something was wrong.
"Alice, I heard from my parents that you decided to leave your current boyfriend. Have you been wronged? If so, you must tell your brother. Your brother will protect you."
My brother's concern made my heart astringent and tears instantly welled up in my eyes.
In an instant, the words I just heard outside the door and the countless times that Felix's camera was aimed at me flashed through my mind...
How could I be so confused that I became a joke among others and a tool for him to have fun.
"No, I'm fine. Leaving him is my own choice."
Hearing my answer, my brother's tone seemed to have relieved some of his tension.
"Alice, you are always the best in my heart. There are many excellent colleagues in our circle, all of whom have good family backgrounds and looks. If you want to meet them, the people chasing you can line up from China to France. But no matter what, we will respect your choice."
The moment I hung up the phone, the door of the villa was also pushed open.
Felix came out of the house in a suit and saw me squatting in front of the fireplace and the photos scattered on the ground.
"Alice, what are you doing?"
I picked up the photos calmly and threw them into the flames in front of him.
"Nothing, just some duplicate photos. It takes up too much space to keep them, so it's better to burn them."
Felix's eyes reflected the fire in the fireplace and he never suspected that I was different.
He hugged me tightly from behind, greedily sniffing the fragrance of my hair.
The hot and wet kiss went from behind the ear to the neck and Felix pressed down. Suddenly, his eyes were startled and his lips stopped on the empty neck.
"Where is the Heart of the Ocean I gave you? Didn't you always wear it around your neck before?"
I turned my face to the side, just thinking of a reasonable excuse.
"It rushed into the sewer when I was taking a shower today."
"Felix, I'm tired. I have to go to school to attend the graduation ceremony tomorrow morning. I'll sleep in the second bedroom tonight."
Felix rubbed my head and a gentle smile overflowed from his eyes.
I couldnt tell whether it was deliberate or a show on the spot.
"Okay, go to bed early, I'll ask the driver to take you tomorrow morning."
An earthquake fifteen years ago took away my hearing and the lives of my biological parents.
My father's friends, that was, William's parents adopted me. I had a new family, so I rarely thought about that broken past.
Later, with my own efforts, I became the first hearing-impaired graduate since the founding of the University of Chevening of Political Science and Law and one of the few hearing-impaired people in Germany who passed the bar exam.
According to the original plan, I would give a speech on stage as an outstanding student representative tomorrow. In order to show the best speech state in front of the public, I had practiced speech for several months.
Just a sudden notice turned my efforts of these days into bubbles.
[Alice, the leader asked me to tell you that your speech at the graduation ceremony was cancelled and replaced by someone else.]
My right hand holding the phone trembled slightly and I typed frequently to try to reason, but after repeated entanglements, I still cleared it.
Then another line of words popped up in the dialog box.
[It was a person inserted by the school director, named Celine Murphy. There is nothing we can do when we encounter such a person with connections.]
On the day of the graduation ceremony, I met Celine for the first time.
She stood high above me in the position that should have belonged to me, covering up my existence with the identity of "outstanding alumnus".
Although I felt a little disappointed, I finally accepted it calmly. But my best friend couldn't stand it.
"Alice, you prepared for such a long time, but the speech was replaced by a relative who came out of nowhere. I'm worried for you!"
In fact, this speech had no other benefits for me except the opportunity to show my face. It was better to had less trouble than more. Besides, I could work in the Grey Family's law firm after graduation and I didnt need the so-called "speech" to fill my resume.
The graduation ceremony ended with the principal's speech. At that time, my mobile phone received an unmarked text message.
[I am Celine Murphy, Felix's fiance and I want to meet you.]
[Just go to the western restaurant at the back door of the school. I just returned to Germany and can't get used to the local food.]
I did not choose to change out of casual clothes, but just wore the simplest shirt and went to this "Fancy Banquet" alone. Opposite, Celine wore a high-end brand beaded suit, a brooch on her chest and exuded the scent of a thousand-dollar perfume.
Seeing me approach, she slowly put down the menu in her hand and smiled at me with a deep meaning.
She greeted me, "Hello, Miss Swift. Nice to meet you. I am Celine Murphy."
She started to explain, "We are quite predestined. Five years ago, I was also a student of the University of Chevening Political Science and Law. I just graduated from the London School of Economics this year. I am your predecessor."
I was unmoved. I had long understood the hidden meaning of this woman's words.
I looked at Celine's face calmly and then put on a polite smile. "Miss Murphy, you flew all the way from the UK, not to submit your resume to me, right?"
Celine's face changed and she was a little confused by my calmness.
I guess she might have thought that I would hysterically compete with her for the position of the main owner, but she never expected that I would be so unmoved by her appearance. Because I had seen through Felix a long time ago, I knew he didn't love me.
Celine frowned slightly, sneered and then said straight to the point, "I've heard that Miss Swift is very smart and is the first hearing-impaired graduate of the University of Chevening Political Science and Law. I think you should understand..."
"Felix is fickle-minded. He has many children outside. As his fiance, I have always seen it. But I have lived abroad for a long time and I have not been able to eradicate him all these years. Of course, Felix will get tired of you one day. But we are about to get married. If you continue to stay with him, it will not be good for you or me."
In between the sarcasm, Celine looked up and down at my clothes and seemed to have grasped the key point again.
"I can compensate you for Felix. You just need to mention a number and I can add six zeros to the end."
After hearing these ridiculous words, I couldn't help but sneer.
"No, Miss Murphy, I'm not so poor that I need your money for help. You can keep this money for yourself and treat it as my wedding gift to you."
I turned around and left decisively. When I reached the door, a woman's scream suddenly came from the hearing aid.
After I turned around, I found that Celine had caught up with me.
"Alicia, you are really shameless. You have been with Felix for a long time and you really take yourself seriously!"
Celine found the hearing aid behind my ear at some point and she suddenly had evil intentions in her heart.
In order to vent her anger, she reached out and pulled the hearing aid behind my ear and then threw it to the ground and broke it into pieces.
The sound of the world instantly left me. The dizziness and insecurity instantly overwhelmed me, almost making it impossible for me to stand.
I forced myself to shake off Celine's hand and the strong recoil made me fall backwards, but I didn't expect to accidentally bump into a large and warm embrace.
I looked up in panic, only to see Felix's face dark, staring coldly at everything that happened in front of him.
I saw Felix's lips tremble slightly, so I tried to interpret them with lip reading, but I couldn't understand what he said.
Later, I realized that he and Celine were talking in French.
"Celine, why did you return home early?"
But Celine was already furious at that time. She stared at me in Felix's arms with resentment and tried to step forward to punch and kick me, but she never thought that Felix would push me away.
Celine staggered to the corner of the table to stand steady, then pointed at me who was silent and scolded, "Felix, do you know what you are doing! You are bored and go to play with her, but don't fool yourself!"
In the fierce argument, I felt that my center of gravity was suddenly unstable and I fainted on the cold floor.
When I woke up, I was the only one in the huge VIP ward.
I took my phone off the table with difficulty, but after unlocking it, a series of pop-up messages dominated the screen.
It was a bombardment of messages from my bestie and a link to a forum.
[Alice, are you there!?]
[Now a group of people on the school forum are spreading rumors about you. It's so hateful, you should quickly refute the rumors!]
Clicking on the forum link, I was shocked by the explosive title.
[Frontline of gossip, Alicia Swift, a hearing-impaired beauty from the Law Department, was caught red-handed by the real owner and the man accused the real owner of moral corruption]
A video was attached to the post, which was the video of Celine and I arguing in the Western restaurant yesterday.
The comments below were full of abuses from friends and many netizens who didn't know the truth came to join in the fun.
Some people speculated that I was born in poverty and sold my body for four years in college to be supported by my sponsor. Some even posted my face photo and student ID, which "confirmed" the crime.
Later, even my mobile phone number was exposed and hundreds of harassing text messages were sent in just ten minutes.
When I was at a loss, the door of the VIP ward was pushed open without warning.
I saw Felix rushing in, dusty, followed by a few of his friends.
He hurriedly trotted to my bedside and squatted down, his face full of unresolved sorrow. Felix's big, bony hands tightly grasped mine, as if he was afraid that I would leave in the next second.
I took out my phone and directly put the overwhelming abuse in the forum in front of Felix.
Even though I already knew the truth, I still waited for his explanation expressionlessly.
"Alice, don't believe what Celine said to you. She is the marriage partner arranged by my father for me. I am not familiar with her and don't want to marry her."
Although I could only read his lips, I still pretended to be ignorant.
Those photos that were taken under duress and everything his brother said.
How could I not believe it.
What I paid and was forced to accept were all appetizers for Felix to serve Celine.
Now he pretended to be affectionate, what was his intention?
"Felix, Alicia's hearing aids are gone. She can't hear you even if you say so much."
The friend next to him kindly reminded him and this woke Felix up.
I laughed secretly in my heart. After all, I had never told outsiders that I could read people lips.
Later, Felix no longer insisted on making excuses to me, but still pretended to be worried about my health.
Seeing that he was getting more and more emotional, his friends couldn't help but sweat for Felix.
"Felix, we have already filmed the video you asked us to do. It was posted on the social forum yesterday. With the current level of discussion, Alicia's reputation is probably really bad."
"You said that in order to discredit Alicia, you did not hesitate to ask Celine to return home in advance and you also personally directed and acted in this drama. What if there is a problem in any link and Alicia knows it in advance, how are you going to explain it to her?"
Felix looked at me, who was pale on the bed, with clear eyes and then slowly said, "This matter is me testing her bottom line. Now it seems that she can't leave me at all. Even if she wants to make trouble, as long as I take out her photo to threaten her, she won't dare to do anything."
His friends around him looked at each other and seemed to understand something.
"Next week's wedding will be full of VIPs. If some of the photos are made public, Felix can not only find an excuse to break off the relationship with Alicia, but also take this opportunity to make William give up the Houston Group case for his sister's reputation."
"Felix, your plan really kills two birds with one stone!"
The originally quiet ward was suddenly filled with men's laughter.
Under the white sheets, my hands couldn't stop shaking. On the surface, I pretended to be calm, but I kept translating the lip language of Felix and his brothers in my mind.
The truth seemed to be more cruel than I knew.
At the beginning, Felix fell from the sky and step by step made me his captive canary... The most important purpose was to tame me as a chess piece. To deal with his closest family.
Since Felix wanted to use me, I could also turn the tables in secret. Using my status to find more evidence for my brother's case.
I tugged at the corner of Felix's clothes, my lips were slightly wet, as if I was going to cry in grievance in the next second.
"Felix, don't leave tonight, okay? Stay with me."
Felix was silent for a moment, his expression inadvertently relaxed and finally nodded slightly.
That night, Felix stayed in the ward.
Within just two hours, someone sent a brand new hearing aid for me.
Having been Felix's canary for three years, I knew his character too well. I only needed to act a little coquettishly to touch his soft spot.
"Be good, I'll go take a shower and come back to accompany you."
After Felix walked into the bathroom, I immediately got out of bed and took out the phone from his bag.
