Susie choked on the water too, her tears and snot flowing as she coughed. For a second there, she thought she would drown!“Help... Cough cough cough…” she cried, her voice tender in her pain, but everyone ignored her.The water threw the room door open, surging into the corridor.Jane’s body floated like a reed on the water, going wherever the water took her. A large hand scooped her out of the calf-high water, the man pulling the motionless woman into his embrace.The water flowed out of t
Her chin hurt suddenly, and a handsome face suddenly approached hers. “Look closely. Who am I?”The cold voice and that familiar scent in her face immediately cleared Jane’s mind a lot more. “Why are you…”“Why am I here?” Sean did not give Jane a chance to complete that sentence at all, his lips curving into a cold smile. “Do you have to ask? Don’t you know that one of my hobbies is seeing you tormented?”Next to him, Uno gave a jolt, his gaze sweeping across his master’s right hand.Drip d
She was furious, so furious that she nearly forgot about her lowliness. Nevertheless, she… She was still the same Jane Dunn with nothing left to her name but this battered and broken body. She was as lowly and powerless as ever!"What right do I have, you ask?" He smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He had every right, because he was the one who saved the life she had put at risk! … His heart burned with fury, but his eyes were bone-chillingly cold. "I have every right, because I'm
The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Sean carried Jane horizontally as he raced out of the elevator. He ran straight into his room and placed her on the large bed, immediately reaching out to take off her wet clothes. He undid her buttons one at a time. Did this woman always wear so much clothing, even on such a hot day?By the time his index finger landed on the third long-sleeved innerwear, he was utterly perplexed. Who would wear a long-sleeved cotton undergarment meant for the autum
It was the same day, less than half an hour apart, and she— Jane Dunn! How dare she mistake him for someone else, not once, but twice!When Jane was awakened by the pain of suffocation, she saw that the person she wanted to see the least was strangling her by the throat like a man possessed!The force around her neck grew tighter and tighter. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she realized that he— Sean Stewart was actually trying to strangle her to death!It was getting harder and harder for her
She rejected him, but he only used more force on her.Smack!There was the sound of a loud slap, and all of a sudden, the world went quiet. Sean looked at the woman pinned under him in disbelief. Her hand was shaking violently as she looked at him in utter terror. Sean stared hard at the woman lying amidst the sheets. She had not slapped him too hard, and it did not really hurt. Nevertheless, this was the first time in Master Stewart's privileged life that the leader of S City's esteemed S
Elior was stunned!Although he had seen her kneel to Sean without a shred of dignity, the feeling was even stronger when this woman was addressing him directly!Her lowliness and low self-esteem practically oozed out of her every word."You lost a kidney, and all you can say is 'it's all in the past'?" Elior remembered that cocky and confident face from back then. Back then, Jane Dunn had many suitors from esteemed families, but this woman as she was now… He had thought that the three years h
"Are you playing hard to get, then? To protect your virtue as a woman?" Sean semi-raised a brow, looking down on Jane who was beneath him. Jane chuckled softly, her eyes filled with self-deprecation. Virtue? Her? What virtue?"You misunderstand, Mr. Stewart. I'm just an ex-convict with no past and certainly no future. I don't have any family or friends… Virtue? Who gives a damn about my virtue?""In that case, stay here tonight."Jane raised her head slowly and looked into Sean's eyes with f
