“Bam!”

Shannon Gray pushed the door open and walked straight into the CEO’s office. “Sean, tonight you...”

But seeing what happened on the couch instantaneously put a lump in her throat. Though brokenhearted, she never let her tears shed.

Sean Ford, her husband, was on the couch with a young model, Shelby Sue, both barely dressed and disheveled.

The same thing had happened so many times that she had lost count. Witnessing her husband’s affairs had become something normal, but it still hurt. She felt as though a knife had been plunged into her heart, over and over again.

Meanwhile, Sean Ford grew impatient with the interruption. “Shannon, what makes you think that you can come here?”

She tried hard not to let her tears choke her. “Sean, will you come home tonight? You haven’t been home for three days,” she calmly asked. On the surface, she managed to keep her emotions under control.

“Hmmph!”

In his smile, there was a certain tinge of irony. “Shannon, cut the sweet-talk, you j

    Sean Ford did not hesitate to turn her body around and start thrusting her, rather savagely, in fact.He seized her by the throat in exasperation, for he could not get over the fact that she had seemingly taken away the life of their baby in a willful abortion, and yet here she was, risking everything to protect the child that she bore with Julio Hayes.The accident that happened six years ago was the very cause of all her miseries. The doctors informed them that he would never be able to walk again. Refusing to have her life burdened by a disabled man, she carried out an abortion to terminate the pregnancy. If he could, he would cut her into a million pieces just for her to feel the same pain that he had been through for the loss of their child if he could.Her words were still ringing in his ears, vividly. “Sean, I don’t want to raise a child with a disabled man. Julio Hayes is the only man that I’m willing to bear a child with.”“Sean, the fact that I’ve slept with a disabled ma

    The operation took almost eight hours to complete. John managed to survive, but his condition had become progressively worse. His life depended on all sorts of expensive medication to buy him more time until the umbilical cord from her second pregnancy became available to be extracted. Without the medication, he would not even last for a month. Shannon wiped the tears away. She was released from prison a year ago and met Sean again after a long separation. They were still married, not for love, but for vengeance. He wanted to punish her for the betrayal.He ruined her career in every way possible so that he became her only source of income. She had to make money by prostituting herself, solely to him.It was a great sorrow to her every time she kneeled before him, like a prostitute, but there was no other choice. John was her life, and she would trade anything, including her own dignity, in exchange for money, as long as it could pay for John’s recovery.She was determined to carr

    Shannon bit her lips so hard that her earlier wound started bleeding though she did not realize it.To her utter surprise, he demanded that she stripped herself naked in the presence of Quinn.The last thing that Quinn wanted was for Sean to have sex with Shannon. She had got to do something to stop it. Eagerly she raised her head and caressed Sean with her lips.“Sean, kiss me.”Sean was a little caught off guard, but he did not push her away, simply because Shannon was still in the room. Shannon stood and watched helplessly as the man and the woman began kissing each other, so tenderly and affectionately. The intimacy made her eyes tear involuntarily. Brokenhearted, she could hardly bear the overwhelming distress of her husband’s affair with the woman she hated the most.In a trance, she looked fixedly at Sean and his lips; the way he kissed the woman in his arms reminded her of the good old days when they were still madly and truly in love. She used to kiss him the same way a

    The necklace that was given to her by Sean was an absolute treasure, which was worth a great deal of money. The pawnbroker certainly recognized its value, but he took advantage of her unfortunate situation for his own benefit. He offered to pay her only 80,000 dollars for the necklace, and not a penny more.She sneered at the fickleness of relationships. All it took was 80,000 dollars to sell off one’s heart. Nonetheless, the money was still insufficient to pay for John’s medication. She was still short of 30,000.Her phone started ringing as soon as she arrived at the hospital. It was Sean on the line.He held his phone up in an unbelievably firm grip to the point where the veins on the back of his hand stood out so clearly, as a sign of his indignation. Her betrayal angered him, but at the same time, troubled about the fact that she was walking alone in the downpour. Concerned for her safety, he sent his personal assistant, Sam Lowe, to follow and observe her closely, only to di

    Sean caught sight of Ken’s hand on Shannon’s waist and scowled very subtly.Under normal circumstances, Ken could have lost an arm.However, Sean did not let any of his resentment show. Instead, he lifted the corners of his mouth and gave her a scornful smile as he said, “Is Mr. Hann interested in the lady that I’ve brought with me tonight?”Ken stared at Shannon’s pretty face in amazement as he replied, “Beautiful, so beautiful.”“If you’re interested, please, help yourself. Have fun.” Sean sneered at Shannon and continued, “All she cares about is money. She can be a bitch to anyone who pays.”Ken was overjoyed. “Rest assured, my beautiful lady, that I have more than enough money to pay you. All you need to do is to please me, and the money will be all yours!”“Here! Have a toast!”Hurriedly, Ken offered her a brand new bottle of brandy.The liquor was giving her a stomach ache, but she had to drink it. She gritted her teeth in reluctance as she accepted the bottle. Without ad

    Shannon felt as if she had just been struck by lightning. She would have already collapsed on the floor if she had not leaned against the wall for support.‘Such absurd ludicrosity,’ she thought. Sean had just killed her child and yet he was ready to have another baby with this stepmother of hers.Quinn looked at Shannon with hatred in her eyes. If she could, she would make Shannon feel bad in every way possible just to feel a little more at ease.Meanwhile, Sean wept for her. The man of great power and strength was seen crying when he heard about the news of Shannon’s miscarriage. In a bar that was checkered with dazzling neon light, he sat there pondering over the news and wept bitter tears. Quinn was infuriated, for she could not accept that her man was crying over another woman.Quinn looked at Shannon with an attitude of patronizing superiority. “Shannon, did you know why Sean wanted to terminate your pregnancy?”“It is because he’s chosen me over you,” she added, hastily.

    Quinn was lucky. Even after extensive bleeding, the baby survived.Meanwhile, Shannon was finding it difficult to accept her circumstances. Her years in the prison had scarred her and triggered her depression. For a long while, she had been able to keep it under control, but this time, the blow was indeed too much for her to handle. Like a storm, it had shaken her faith.Those with acute depression often oscillate between depression and violence. Instead of hurting others, they hurt themselves.It was the same for Shannon. She needed to inflict injuries on her body. The pain was her only reminder that she was still alive.She needed to survive, at least for John. Without her, he would be helpless and desolate.After what she had done to Quinn, surely Sean would make her pay.Indeed, he came to see Shannon after Quinn’ condition stabilized.She was found prostrate on the bed. With ferocious aggressiveness, he clasped her shoulder and said, “Shannon, how could you be so cruel! Aft

    Shannon finally regained consciousness, and the first thing that she realized was that her body full of aches and pains. In the days that she was in a deep sleep, there was always someone clasping her hand and keeping her company. She had a feeling that the person was Sean. However, she dismissed the possibility almost immediately. It was ridiculous. The only person that he actually cared for was Quinn. He had nothing to do with her at all and did not even care whether or not she lived. Clearly, she must not flatter herself.Abruptly someone pushed the door open. Quinn was here, along with a chunky container of chicken soup.She pursed her lips into an awkward smirk as soon as she saw that Shannon was awake. “Shannon, I’ve brought you some chicken soup. What do you think? I’ve been such a wonderful friend to you, haven’t I?”With that said, she opened the container and attempted to splash the soup all over Shannon’s body.Shannon was aware of the impending danger, so she moved

    The doctors had briefly cleaned and wrapped Shannon’s wound on the way to the hospital. She was sent into the operating theater the second they arrived at the hospital. After eight hours of trying to run from the god of death, Shannon was pushed out from the operating theater.According to the doctor, the bullet was less than a centimeter away from Shannon’s heart. No one would be able to save her life if it had penetrated her heart.Fortunately, it seemed that Shannon had a chance to survive, but she was still at the edge of danger.

    Sean’s gaze was ever gentle, and it made Shannon tear up even more.His eyes were full of pampering and love for Shannon, just like when they had first met each other. “I’m so sorry, Shannon. I truly regret that I’ve done so many evil things to you and even broke your heart.”“Shannon, I don’t deserve your forgiveness. So, don’t forgive me, but take good care.”“No matter what happens, you must take good care of yourself, Shannon.”I love you, but I don’t want you to feel sad for me, so I guess I’ll skip this phrase. After saying everything that he needed to tell Shannon, Sean calmly said, “Julio, just take my life; don’t hurt Shannon!”Sean took a step forward and stood in front of Julio. He did not try to defend himself or hide but waited for a shot from Julio.As Julio witnessed Sean’s bravery, he knew that he had been defeated.He was finally aware that he could never compete with Sean for Shannon’s heart.

    “Julio, are you crazy?!”Startled by what he said, Shannon accidentally hit her head on the edge of the bed. Surprisingly, the pain helped her regain some energy.She saw a mug as she turned her head to the side, and she quickly grabbed the mug and crashed it onto the bedside table. The next thing she did was cut her wrist with one of the broken pieces of the cup.“Julio, I don’t love you. I don’t want a baby with you! I would rather die than have a baby with you!”Shannon’s quick action left Julio in shock! There was a deep and bleeding wound on her wrist when he managed to regain his attention. He was too stunned as he looked at the blood on her wrist.He could not be bothered to remove Shannon’s clothes anymore when he saw her hurting herself. He tightly hugged her in his embrace and uttered, “Shannon, why did you hurt yourself?! Am I so bad to the extent that you would rather die than become my wife?”Julio seemed hurt by her actions as he chuckled with grief. “Shannon, you w

    The morgue? Shannon almost tripped and fell to the ground.She could not be bothered by her injury to her ankle and continued to rush to the direction of the morgue with the help of the wall as a support.Unknowingly, Shannon’s eyes were covered with tears, and all of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain on her neck and lost consciousness just when she was pushing the morgue’s door open.It was already in the evening when Shannon woke up, and she realized that she was in a strange room. She was dressed in a white wedding gown, and there was a mirror nearby.

    Shannon was eager to see Sean.She heard two nurses whispering at a corner when she rushed out of her ward.“What a waste; he was so handsome but died so young!”“True, such a misfortune. He is only about 27 or 28 years old. It was a horrible accident. He passed away even before he could make it to the operation theater.”“I heard that his family is quite rich; I guess he was fated not to be able to spend the money.”“Sigh. It’s sad for such a handsome man to die in such a pitiful way! His wife was at the scene of the accident and passed out while crying. She was sent to our hospital, but she is yet to awake!”“Sigh, what can she do even if she is awake!? She might as well not wake up since the first news she will get is the news of her husband’s death! It would be really pitiful for her!”…As Shannon listened to the conversation between the two nurses, her heart sank bit by bit.The man was very handsome, at the age of 27 to 28, his family was rich, his wife fainted at the s
