A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 522
Quinn was dead set that Sam should properly reflect on his behavior, and her voice calm as she spoke. "Think about it."To be precise, she was indifferent toward Sam—as she always had been.She tried to open the door again, and when she could not, she snapped, "Could you please open the door? I'm getting off—Ah!"She yelped as she felt a tremendous pressure on her arm—Sam had suddenly pulled her with brute strength towards himself, and she landed squarely on his stiff chest.It hurt, but even before she could resist or free herself, Sam's face descended on hers, and he bit down viciously on her lips. The pain left her tears rolling right then, just as she could taste blood.But Sam was not letting her go and continued to vent all his fury on her body.After a long while—and Quinn had no way of telling how long—Sam finally pulled away, his haze still icy as he watched her lips dyed with a stark redness and the spot where he bit her smudged with bloodstains."Does it hurt?" he a

"Are those tears I see?"Sam was watching as Quinn's tears trickled from the corner of her eyes.Quinn blinked.She believed herself jaded—that she would never shed tears in front of Sam.But she never felt her own tears welling up in her eyes."I thought you wanted to have a child with me? What are you crying for?" Sam asked."It's just tears of joy," Quinn retorted flatly."Hah!" Sam chuckled. "You're disgusting, Quinn."She certainly felt the same way about him, but there was no helping it when fate had set their paths together.They were just two awful individuals, bound to disgust each other now. He asked her then, "Who am I?""Sam Saunders," she said, clearly restraining herself."Good," Sam growled, and bit her viciously on the earlobe. "So remember—you're mine and mine alone!" Quinn smiled coolly despite herself.Yes, he was the first man she had, but she was just one of countless women he had.She had no idea what it was about herself that seemed to wound Sam

Sam drove for so long he could no longer see Quinn's dainty silhouette, and he stopped his car beside the road.He was struggling against himself. He left her in the middle of nowhere, miles far from the highway, and it would take her at least half a day to get out of there.What if she did not make it out?And Quinn was always so stubborn she would never give in, least of all to him.Sam punched the steering wheel at the thought, frustrated. He could not help turning to the passenger seat beside him, his heart suddenly stopping for a moment.That was her first time? But how was that possible?He restarted the car, feeling the need to ask. In truth, he was just giving himself an excuse to go back.No matter what Quinn's response was or how she would reject him, he would take her back even if he had to tie her up. It was not the first time he had gone against her will—why not do it again? He did not care if she had more reason to hate him again.Hence, despite his hesi

Meanwhile, Quinn entered Ryan's car.She did not actually ask him to come—he just happened to call her to consult her on a legal issue.She asked if it was urgent, to which he said yes.She in turn told him where he was and asked for a ride.Her face was pale, and she was shivering even as she got in his car."Still feeling cold?" Ryan asked—the weather was turning warm, but one would still find it chilly on occasion.And when he helped her into his car, she felt icy to the touch."I'm fine," Quinn forced a smile as she looked up at Ryan. "Sorry for taking so much of your time.""Don't say things like that. I was going to your office to consult you today anyway and called you before that since you might not be in," Ryan said mildly, trying his best not to put Quinn on the spot. "By the way, were you having a fight with Sam? Was he the one who left you in the middle of nowhere?""I guess," Quinn replied indifferently. "How could he behave like this?" Ryan grumbled, scowling j

Cordy gave in to John.She was willing to believe in love again for his sake.John in turn gazed upon her in his arms, feeling her body's warmth and the strength with which she tightened her arms around his waist further with each second.There was a smile on his lips. Even if the price he paid was a little too costly, this made it worth it.Nothing else mattered other than her.He in turn gathered her tightly in his arms. Feeling her in his arms with such certainty left his heart racing uncontrollably too.They simply embarrassed each other like that, with neither letting go because they were not going to.There was no telling how long had passed when John had to stifle a cough, and Cordy finally realized with a start.She most certainly had been greedy about feeling him there with her, worried that he would vanish if she let him go again.Even if she was rejoicing, she was still caught in lingering fear of almost losing him in this trial.Nonetheless, she reluctantly pull

On the other hand, John was getting even grumpier as Cordy was not responding. "You're actually still hesitating? Do you even have a conscience? How much further do I have to go for you to actually accept me and stand by my side in the open?"John became more agitated the more he ranted, "What, do I have to gouge my heart out to show my sincerity—umph…"His eyes suddenly widened as Cordy stood on her toes, pressing her lips against his.The anger in his eyes turned to tenderness right then.Men are really easy, aren't they? John wrapped his arms around her, intending on going further… but she pulled away. "Skipping out on responsibility after flirting with me, huh?" he growled through his teeth."No," Cordy shook her head. "But you were so noisy."John's face fell, stunned that she would scorn him for that!But she was the only one he would talk so much around, spilling his guts and all that, not shying away from baring his heart!And she scorned him!But just as he was ab

Thank goodness they had not left! The reporters would miss their exclusive headlines otherwise!There was no doubt that Cordy and John's appearance immediately sent the journalists into a frenzy, and they quickly surrounded the couple.Cordy's four bodyguards were actually all waiting outside the courthouse throughout, but they kept their distance since they were not that tactless they would interrupt her tender moment with John. When they hurried forward to help when they saw Cordy being mobbed by the journalists, Cordy gave them a look, stopping them.Today, she actually wanted to have a proper talk with the press."Mr. Levine, seeing that you're leaving the courthouse while holding hands with Ms. Sachs… could this mean what we think it means?""Mr. Levine, it was a beautifully executed reversal at the trial. Could you give us a word on how you feel right now?""Mr. Levine, are you in a relationship with Ms. Sachs? What about Jessica Stuart?"They were so rowdy John and Cord
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 529
"So, you're convinced that Jessica wasn't aware that her family was prepared to make me their scapegoat?" John asked the journalist in return. "Even when I was still abroad, she was the one in charge of every foreign account Stuart Holdings owned.""Are you saying that Jessica loved you but was not shying away from using you as a scapegoat too?" The journalist was certainly quick on his feet."Who knows?" John shrugged, refusing to give a direct answer. "You should be asking Jessica that question.""In any case, the truth is out—the Stuarts would soon have their punishment, while your relationship with Ms. Sachs can finally bloom!" the journalist exclaimed. "Congratulations!" "Thank you." Both Cordy and John appeared cordial just then."Can you offer some insights into your relationship? Ms. Sachs, were you happy back when Mr. Levine got engaged to Jessica? Were you supportive of him doing this to defend himself?""Absolutely not," Cordy said loudly and clearly, not hiding her d

Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

"I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
