The man stood in front of the closet, wordlessly looking at the woman who was crying her eyes out inside. His throat bobbed with all of the words he should say but could not. Suddenly, he bent his tall body and reached out his arms for her.“Don’t touch me!” she roared abruptly and loudly in her hoarse voice. He saw the deep hatred in her eyes, and the sharp pain in his heart spread all through his body. After he gave her another look, though, he continued to reach out to her.“I told you no
“From the moment you leaped into this war of men, you should have known. In the world of business, nothing matters but success or failure. Your enemies will use anything they can to get in your way.“Is one video enough to take you down?” There was a low chuckle that reached Jane’s ears, loud and clear. “Jane Dunn, at the end of the day, Old Master Dunn protected you too well. You had never truly witnessed what a weaponless battlefield looks like.”With those words, the man unfolded his tall a
Amidst the rain, a woman walked out of the East Emperor building and out into the storm. She had found the umbrella from the storage closet. No matter how horrible that man was, there was one thing he got right.She was a deserter. A coward. How could she let that slide?She walked to the curb and saw that there was already a black Bentley waiting there.It only took her a glance to recognize the owner of that car. Who could it be but that arrogant Sean Stewart?She walked over, and the ca
He reached out his finger and hooked her chin. “What did you use? Your body? Or… your shamelessness?”Jane’s blood began to pulse, flowing away from her face. She never expected Haydn to insult her like that… Or rather, she did think that Haydn would insult her, but she did not expect Haydn to stoop to humiliating her.“Let go.”She spoke calmly in her rough voice. If you listened carefully, though, you could still hear the emotion underneath her cool front. She was not as composed as she pre
Smack! There was the sound of a sudden and crisp slap!She wore no expression. “Are you done fooling around?”Her cold voice was nothing like the Jane Haydn used to know. He touched his smarting left cheek, malice slowly appearing on his handsome face. “Fooling around? Who are you accusing of fooling around with you?” He laughed coldly. “I’m playing, don’t you get it? I’m playing with you!”As he said that, he brought his face to hers again. Jane abruptly shoved him away, looking at him cooll
“Sleep with me. Sleep with me, and after that, we’ll be completely even. We’ll call it completely quits. What do you say?”Jane was stunned at first and then shocked. A sense of pain spread through her chest despite herself, but before her mind could start working again, she heard Haydn’s voice in her ear saying,“You plotted to kill your own best friend, Jane Dunn, but I still think highly enough of you to sleep with you. What do you say? Sleep with me, and we’ll be even.”She looked at the
“Did you do this?” That ice-cold voice poured forth from Sean’s thin lips, cold as the Arctic wind.Haydn hated everything about Sean right now, so he taunted the latter by raising his chin. “Yeah. Whatchu going to do about it?”Sean narrowed his eyes extremely dangerously as he glanced at Haydn. His beautiful features were taut, and then the corners of his lips suddenly curved. Jane felt a gentle force pushing her aside; by the time she realized what was happening and looked up, her heart nea
That man had once treated her so kindly, so gently!Yet, just because he overheard her past, overheard others saying that she used to be a cruel and heartless woman, just because she was once in jail, because she bent her knees shamelessly before his eyes… Was that why the once-gentle boy had changed?She put her hand on the wall and stumbled toward him, her face pale as a sheet. Haydn’s heart was flooded with a pain that he could explain, a pain that was unfamiliar, indescribable… unspeakable
