"Marry me, Prisley. It's that simple."

Prisley's face stiffened, her eyes widening with disbelief. She awkwardly pushed Mark away. "Don't joke around. It's impossible."

Mark’s grip tightened as he held her close, his breath warm against her ear. "Why not? I love you, and you like me. We're a perfect match," he said with a mix of hope and arrogance.

Prisley took a deep breath and pushed Mark away firmly. "Mark, you need to understand. We're from different worlds. Your family expects you to marry a wealthy heiress. We won’t have a future."

Her face flushed with pain. "I don't want to jump from one hopeless situation into another. Even though you’re kind and steady, marriage in your world is just a business deal."

Although Mark was interesting, steady, and deeply in love with her, Prisley knew that marriages in wealthy families were just business arrangements.

Mark’s face reddened, his breathing heavy. "Why can't we have a future? I can love whoever I want. No one can stop me!"

    “Is this the kind of garbage you call a report?”The atmosphere outside the investment manager's office was heavy and suffocating. Employees tiptoed past, careful not to provoke the manager's wrath.The scolding from inside cut through the air like a cold blade, straining everyone’s nerves.A tall young man stood nervously before the new manager, Fila. His hands were clenched, knuckles white from pressure. His eyes were filled with defiance. He had to bow his head and endure the humiliation.Fila's tirade was relentless. It rained down like a storm. She had been berating Bob for almost half an hour.“Fix this report by the end of the day. If it’s still not right, you can resign!”Bob wiped the sweat from his forehead. He walked out of the office, his eyes full of resentment. Outside, a few colleagues stopped him. They whispered, “What happened, Bob?” careful not to upset him.Bob threw the document onto his desk. “I’ve revised this report several times. She’s never satisfied. She says

    Filla walked in, holding a folder.She wore a business suit, her hair in a high bun, looking quite a bit like Prisley.But Filla's makeup was heavier, her clothes more expensive, making Prisley look fresher in comparison.Steve exchanged a meaningful glance with Heath.Seeing Filla, a small smile appeared on Heath’s usually poker face."Hey Filla, didn't expect to work with you," Steve greeted casually. He sat aside, watching them gossipingly.Filla went straight to Heath’s chair and sat down as if she owned the office."Heath, I have a proposal to discuss with you." She glanced at Steve, her expression wary.Heath smiled, "Go ahead, Steve's not an outsider. He'll be overseeing your investment department. So you'll report directly to him from now on."Filla shifted slightly in her seat, letting her skirt ride up just a bit. She leaned forward, ensuring Heath got a glimpse of her neckline."Heath, I've put a lot of thought into this proposal," she said, her voice dropping to a more inti

    Heath stood by the office window, looking a bit frustrated. Filla's performance today had been embarrassing.Steve asked, "What are you going to do? How are you planning to handle this? You've always been good at selecting talent and have the best people in every department. But now, it seems Filla might be staining your career."Steve wanted to tease him but felt the situation was too serious for that.Heath turned around, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness and irritation. "Removing Filla from her position is going to be complicated. You know I owe her mother a debt."Years ago, Filla's mother was Heath's private tutor. During an outing, Heath fell into the water and got tangled in debris, unable to save himself. Filla's mother jumped in to rescue him, but she was swept away by the current due to exhaustion.Heath's father valued loyalty and decided to raise Filla, providing her with a good life and quality education.

    Heath angrily opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards them.Prisley and Mark were in a deep embrace, not noticing someone approaching.Suddenly, Mark was yanked away and got a hard punch to the face. He let out a painful groan.Prisley screamed, "No! Heath, stop!"But Heath was like a madwoman and didn't listen at all.Mark was not one to back down. After taking the punch, he stepped back, adjusted himself, and lunged at Heath.The two started fighting fiercely, exchanging punches and kicks.Prisley shouted, "Stop! It's not good if someone sees this!""YYou both have reputations. Don't act like this. Heath! Mark!"But the two madmen didn't listen and continued to fight intensely.Prisley couldn't decide whom to help. In her heart, she didn't want either of them to get hurt.Seeing that persuasion was useless, Prisley stepped forward to separate them.Heath swung a punch, but Mark dodged, and the punch landed heavily on Prisley's abdomen.Prisley let out a scream, clutch

    In David's office, on the comfortable chair, Filla was sitting on David’s lap, kissing him passionately."Filla, I've wanted to fuck you for a long time. How did I not know you were this wild?" David said playfully.Even when Filla and Heath were dating, David coveted Filla’s beauty. But Heath’s dominance kept him from acting on his desires.The more unattainable something was, the more David wanted it. He had no real feelings for Filla. He just wanted to obtain something that was challenging to get. And taking her from Heath made it all the more satisfying. That sense of achievement was far greater than closing any business deal.David harbored deep-seated jealousy and a desire for revenge against Heath. He had even tried to seduce Prisley, but she never gave him a chance. Now that Filla was offering herself, David had no reason to refuse.Filla's hand slid down from David’s chest, moving slowly to his lower body. She unzipped his pants and, with a provocative smile, asked, “It’s work

    Filla, determined to please David, used every trick in her book. She employed her mouth, her hands, every method she knew. Finally, David let out a low moan and went soft, sweat dripping from his forehead."Bitch, you're amazing. Just like you said, I would enjoy you." David cleaned himself up and zipped his pants, looking satisfied. He didn't even give Filla a kiss or a touch, his eyes cold and indifferent."Will you fall in love with me?" Filla asked seductively, her voice soft and silky, her eyes filled with hope.David laughed with sarcasm and disdain. "How could I fall in love with you? How ridiculous! Filla, you and I can only be secret lovers. Don't think too far ahead."Despite having anticipated this, Filla still felt a bit uncomfortable. But she didn't want to anger David."You’re such a slut. Heath enjoyed you for so many years. He really knows how to enjoy life.""I hope you'll come back tomorrow. We'll try something different."David lit a cigar and started making calls, c

    "Boss, I'm sorry, but Prisley's medical records have been taken and deleted."Heath's face darkened. He knew it had to be Mark. Only he had the motive and the ability to pull this off. The question of whose child it was weighed heavily on Heath's mind.He never had any longing for family. In his eyes, so-called family ties were just about blood and money. Otherwise, they were like strangers. They wouldn't exchange more than a few words, nor would they share any happiness. From a young age, Heath had always kept things to himself.But since Prisley came into his life, things had changed. She brought a new energy to his daily existence.Every day, she would tell him so many things, share her happiness, and notice when something was bothering him. She would gently coax him until he felt better.Looking back, it seemed so luxurious. This was the kind of affection money couldn't buy, and Prisley had given it to him for four years. But now that she'd decided to leave, it was something he cou

    Mark returned home, happily handing Prisley a gift box, his eyes full of joy. “What’s this?” Prisley asked, taking the box from him. “Open it and see.” Mark’s smile was gentle.Prisley felt a bit puzzled. “Is today some special occasion?” “With you here, every day is a celebration. Congratulations, today you’re mine.” Mark looked satisfied, opening his arms toward Prisley. Prisley smiled and walked into his embrace, letting him hold her. “And tomorrow? Will we celebrate too?” “Of course, as long as you don’t get tired of me.” They both laughed and looked into each other’s eyes.Mark unwrapped the gift box, revealing an expensive emerald necklace inside. The craftsmanship was intricate, and the gemstones were of the highest quality. He lovingly placed the necklace around Prisley’s neck, then pulled her into a tight embrace, unwilling to let go. With a mix of seriousness and humor, he said, “I often wonder, what would my life be like if I hadn’t crashed into you that day?

    Peter glanced at the screen and immediately understood his boss's intent. Not daring to delay, he quickly arranged a car and sped toward the scene, almost flooring the gas pedal the entire way.Heath appeared calm, but inside, It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, leaving him both anxious and flustered. He deeply regretted not assigning security personnel to Prisley. He couldn’t bear to imagine what he would do if Prisley’s life slipped away right before his eyes.Heath’s limbs felt weak, his fingertips icy. Over the years, he had dealt with countless crises, always composed and decisive. Yet, the few moments of panic he’d experienced all seemed to revolve around Prisley.“Peter, get all the securities over here.”“Yes, sir.”“And prepare a large amount of cash.”“Yes, sir.”Heath’s mind raced, considering all possible contingency plans.When he arrived at the scene, the place was bustling with activity. The police had already cordoned off the area outside the café, k

    Spencer was about to say something when sudden commotion erupted outside the café.A figure darted through the door.Spencer assumed it was someone in a rush to grab coffee. To avoid a collision, he instinctively pulled Prisley toward him.“Come here, don’t let them bump into you...”“Spencer,” Prisley chuckled as before. She was all too familiar with this habit of his. Just as she found herself in Spencer’s arms, another hand yanked her away forcefully.“Ah—!” Prisley cried out in panic.“Come here! Or you’ll regret not listening!” A raspy male voice shouted harshly in her ear. The grip was so strong that Prisley was thrown a few steps away, hitting the wall by the café.“What’s going on?!” Spencer reached out to pull her back, but the man grabbed Prisley by the neck, pressing something sharp and shiny against her throat.Spencer froze, his body stiffening on the spot.Everyone else in the café panicked and bolted for the exit. “Run! Get out of here!”No one dared linger. And within m

    Early the next morning, Heath had to leave for a business trip. Prisley breathed a sigh of relief. She still wasn’t used to living with Heath in the apartment. It was nice to have some space for a while.That day, she was wandering around a boutique in the shopping mall when she suddenly saw a figure pass by outside the store.Prisley froze. Without thinking, she ran out.But the man had already walked far away.“It can’t be him, right? No, it can't be.” She felt uneasy but picked up her pace.The man was tall with long legs, walking quickly.Prisley’s heavy body made it hard for her to keep up.“Hey—sir, wait—” She shouted when she realized she was about to lose him.It seemed the man heard her. He stopped and turned around."Spencer! It really is you!" Prisley gasped, covering her mouth. Her legs felt weak, and she almost collapsed.Spencer quickly rushed over to steady her, so overwhelmed that he didn’t know what to say.“I finally found you!” They both spoke at the same time and hu

    Heath and Prisley returned to the apartment, and a subtle sense of relief filled the air.Heath smiled as if a weight had lifted off his shoulders. He opened his arms and pulled Prisley into a hug, pressing her forehead gently against his warm chest. In that moment, it felt like he was holding something precious he had almost lost, and it made him cherish her even more.Prisley didn’t resist, didn’t move at all. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Heath opened the door, and a few strong movers stood there, behind them were several large items.Heath was puzzled, but Prisley greeted them warmly. “Oh, you’re here? Please, bring everything inside.”The lead mover asked, “Are you Miss Anderson?”“Yes, that’s me,” Prisley said cheerfully as she welcomed them in.“Could you sign for this?”Prisley quickly signed, her happiness clear from her expression. The large items were brought inside, and she led them to an empty room.Heath asked, “What’s all this? It’s huge.”Prisley smiled faintly. “A bed.

    Mark and his father walked into the study.Old Grant said, "Son, all these years, I haven't interfered much, letting you choose your own path.""You could study if you wanted, or travel if you preferred. But now, I have to think about your future."Mark asked quietly, "What"s wrong, Dad?" He had a feeling something was off. His father"s usually kind face was now serious, like when he was in a business meeting."My heart is getting worse. Even though I look fine on the outside, I know my own condition.""It could stop beating at any moment. I don't know if it will be tomorrow, next month, or next year. So, I have to make arrangements now."Mark interrupted anxiously, "What did the doctors say? There are so many treatments available. This isn't a big issue, Dad. Don't be so pessimistic."Mark had originally come home thinking only about getting some benefits from his father, maybe some shares or money. But hearing his father speak like this, he suddenly felt like the sky was falling.The

    "Dad, what's up?" Mark said, holding his phone, sounding casual.His father's gentle voice came through the line, "You haven't been home for dinner in a while. Your mom wants to see you."Mark gave Heath and Prisley a wink, pretending to be relaxed. "I miss you too. I'll come home tonight. Nothing's more important than you."He hung up, and the smile on his face vanished.Heath signaled that he was leaving. Before heading out, he reminded Mark, "Don't forget what's right and what's not."Mark nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be a great actor."Prisley couldn’t help but smile as she watched his playful, slightly mischievous demeanor. "Mark, I'm glad you're back to your old self. That's the you I like."She shot a glance at Heath, hoping to catch a hint of jealousy on his face. But Heath remained indifferent, only showing a trace of sarcasm.They all went their separate ways.As Heath and Prisley reached the car, Heath suddenly stopped. He turned and said coldly, "What?

    “With your immature look and still being wet behind the ears, you dared to compete with me for Prisley?”Heath said, half-joking, half-contemptuously. His tone held a touch of mockery, and a smirk curved his lips. He lounged on the sofa, casually tapping the edge of his wine glass with his fingers, casting a dismissive glance at Mark.Prisley, sitting next to Heath, gave him a gentle elbow jab. She shot him a disapproving look and then gave him a subtle wink, signaling him to ease up on Mark.To their surprise, Mark was momentarily stunned but then smiled calmly. His eyes showed a trace of self-deprecation but mostly relief.“You’re right, Heath. Compared to you, I’m indeed quite immature,” Mark said with a wry smile.“I finally understand that I’m definitely not the type Prisley likes. So despite all her efforts, she still hasn’t fallen for me.”He spoke with self-deprecation. Though he was addressing his past hurt, he showed no real sadness. Instead, he seemed to be stating an acce

    "Mark, what's wrong? Are you speeding? Tell me where you are right now!"Prisley’s face had gone pale with worry. She turned to Heath, desperate for help.After listening for a couple of seconds, Heath immediately grasped the situation with Mark. He grabbed the phone from Prisley and said, "Mark, whatever's going on, you need to stay calm. Prisley is really worried about you. You don't want to cause an accident and make her even more upset, do you?"The roar of a car engine came through the phone. Mark answered with a chocked voice, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."Not long after, the three of them were sitting in a restaurant.The restaurant’s lighting was soft and warm, but the atmosphere between them was exceptionally heavy.Mark sat in the corner of the table, his gaze distant.He looked utterly defeated, with bruises from a fight on his face, completely lacking his usual charm and confidence. Prisley had seen Mark anxious and smug before, but never this defeated and at a loss.Prisley

    After saying goodbye to Prisley at the hospital, Mark drove home with a heavy heart. He couldn't remember how he drove—the dim streetlights and shadows on the road were all that filled his mind. It felt like the whole world had lost its color.Only when he instinctively hit the brakes did he realize he was already parked in his driveway.Inside his mansion, the silence made the space feel even more empty and cold. With one person missing, the house felt like a hollow shell, and even the air seemed thin.Mark walked unsteadily into the bedroom that was once filled with laughter and warmth. Prisley's presence was everywhere. Her book was still open on the nightstand, a few of her clothes casually draped over the chair. On the wall hung a portrait she had painted of him, so detailed, so lifelike. But the bed across from it was now empty.Mark approached the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then collapsed onto it, exhausted. The faint scent of her perfume still lingered on the sheets. He t
