Chloe couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

It wasn't just that the man had humiliated her; she also wanted to slap herself.

She had completely lost her dignity!

She had squandered all her pride!

She didn't know how long she sat there on the floor before finally standing up. Her legs felt numb as she stumbled to her room, collapsing onto her bed still fully dressed.

Half-asleep, she heard soft voices nearby and opened her eyes to find daylight streaming through the windows.

She grabbed her phone—it was already half-past eight!

Oh no, she was going to be late!

She tried to get up quickly, but a sharp pain in her back made her gasp and collapse back onto the bed.

The events of the previous night flooded back, filling her with shame and anger.

Whenever she encountered this man, she was the one who got hurt.

She looked at herself in the mirror, seeing the clear bite marks on her lips. She unbuttoned her clothes and saw a large bruise spreading across the right side of her back, a mix o

    It was 9:00 PM again, and as usual, Chloe arrived at Blues for her shift.The shame she felt was overwhelming. The wound on the corner of her mouth was noticeable, and even lipstick couldn't conceal it. No matter where she went today, people couldn't help but stare at her.Blues had always been a peaceful place, largely because Mag was generous and never made enemies. But it was still a bar, a place where unsavory characters were bound to mix in.Worried about attracting unnecessary trouble, Chloe carefully wrapped a silk scarf around her face.However, today was destined to be anything but peaceful.The regular patrons, accustomed to the aloof and unapproachable pianist, admired her quiet elegance.

It tempted people to uncover her hidden beauty.The guests continued their revelry while casting intrigued glances at the pianist, all the whil

    The gang members froze when they heard that familiar voice. Their hearts skipped a beat as they turned around to see a tall man standing at the entrance. Their faces instantly changed color, and cold sweat began to drip down."Ge... Geoff..." The bald man's face turned ashen, his posture submissive as he wiped his sweat with a trembling hand.Finally freed, Chloe quickly grabbed a tattered cloth to cover her exposed undergarments, her heart pounding wildly. Without time to dwell on her fear, she hurriedly knelt down to cover Mag's body."Mag..." Chloe cried, gently patting Mag's face, desperate to wake her up.Geoffrey walked closer, his gaze briefly resting on Chloe, who was still crying and trying to rouse Mag. Then he shifted his focus back to the bald man."Geoff..." The bald man's voice quivered with fear, the arrogance he had just displayed vanishing as he trembled like a coward.Slap— Slap—The crisp sound of two slaps echoed through the air. Geoffrey blew on his hands, then ki

    Geoffrey didn't push the issue when Chloe denied it. He started the engine. "I'll take you home!" The black Bentley shot into the night like an arrow.Chloe pouted, wanting to shout for him to stop, but looking around at the deserted, pitch-black wilderness and the late hour, where could she find a taxi?Either way, she was doomed! She might as well see if this man was truly a beast or just pretending to be a gentleman.Screech—The car came to an abrupt halt, and Chloe, who had been dozing off, lurched forward, only to be caught by the man's quick reflexes. She ended up falling right into his chest.The collision of her forehead against his chest snapped her awake. This man had done it on purpose! He was indeed bad news!Her eyes flared with anger as she tried to push him away, but her hands, still clutching her torn clothes, couldn't let go. She could only squirm in an attempt to shove him away with her shoulder."We've arrived at your home." The man ignored the fire in her eyes, in

    "What are you doing?" Chloe cried out in terror as Lionel leaned in, biting her lips."Ugh... Get off me! I've signed the divorce papers; you have no right to touch me... Ugh..." Chloe couldn't believe her misfortune. She had escaped one predator only to come home to another. Why couldn't she escape her bad luck?Summoning strength from somewhere deep inside, Chloe managed to free her hands and slapped Lionel hard across the face.Slap!Lionel's head snapped to the side, and when he turned back to face her, his eyes were filled with even more malice. They were like a stormy sea, dark and terrifying."I'll show you whether I have the right to touch you!"He looked like he was about to tear her apart. Chloe's hand froze in mid-air, her eyes full of fear."Ah!" Chloe screamed as Lionel grabbed her and marched toward the bathroom."No! Let me go!" Chloe struggled, scratching and hitting, but Lionel's grip didn't loosen at all. She had completely enraged this beast.Cold water poured down

    It was late at night.Grace was startled awake by the sound of Lionel rummaging through drawers. She quickly threw on a robe and found him frantically searching for something. "Sir, what are you looking for?" she asked, astonished."Where's the antiseptic ointment?" Lionel continued to search without even glancing up.In this household, Lionel never had to do anything himself, so how would he know where the damn ointment was?"Sir, are you hurt?" Grace asked, concerned. Seeing the displeased look on Lionel's face, she quickly corrected herself, "Oh, it's not there. I'll get it for you right away."Grace watched Lionel rush upstairs with the ointment, confused. She had just looked him over and didn't see any injuries. Could it be... that woman?! No, impossible! Lionel would never care about any woman other than Joa!And certainly not someone as undeserving as her!Despite the anger in his eyes, Lionel's touch was unexpectedly gentle as he applied the ointment, even though he didn't rea

    Chloe checked the time; it was already nine o'clock!After the terrifying events of the previous night, she felt exhausted and decided she needed a few days to rest. She immediately picked up the phone."Hello, sir, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to come for your daughter's piano lessons for the next few days...""Hello, ma'am, I'm terribly sorry, but I'll need to take a few days off... Yes... thank you..."After hanging up, Chloe let out a sigh of relief.Wait! Mag! How could she have forgotten about Mag?The thought of Mag made Chloe panic. Last night, she had just watched as Mag was taken away, and then she had fainted!If anything had happened to Mag... she'd never forgive herself! In this indifferent world, apart from Cynthia, Mag was the only other person she cared about.Trembling, she dialed the phone. It rang for a long time before it was finally answered. Mag's slightly hoarse voice came through, "Chloe...""Mag, are you okay..." Hearing Mag's voice made Chloe's heart trembl

    "What's wrong?" Cynthia, noticing Chloe's reaction, followed her gaze and glanced over. "Do you know him?"The man looked so familiar, like she had seen him in a magazine somewhere. Frowning, Cynthia tried to recall."No! How could I possibly know someone that rich?" Chloe denied hurriedly, her words stumbling over each other. She picked up her drink and looked out the window, trying to hide her unease.Lionel! That bastard is like a haunting ghost!In no time, Lionel had already approached."Cynthia, what are you doing here?" The woman next to Lionel, Moira, called out. Moira was a rising star, thanks to a recent drama series, and Cynthia used to be her personal makeup artist.In Moira's eyes, Cynthia, a mere makeup artist, had no business being in such an upscale restaurant."And why shouldn't I be here?" Cynthia shot back, her tone equally unfriendly.Moira was always condescending, and when they worked together, she constantly ordered people around. Now that she was famous, she tr

    On the other side, Cynthia and Chloe walked out of the restaurant, exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.Despite the laughter, Chloe couldn't shake her worry.That man was Lionel, after all—a man standing high above, commanding the world like a god. After being humiliated like that by Cynthia in public, Chloe was sure he'd hold her accountable. Her days ahead... well, they certainly weren't going to be easy."Are you worried?" Cynthia noticed Chloe's troubled expression and asked, linking arms with her."Aren't you afraid you might have crossed the wrong person?" Chloe asked instead of answering."Afraid?" Cynthia chuckled. "If I were afraid, would I have thrown that drink in his face? Don't tell me you didn't feel like doing the same!"Chloe smiled softly, thinking to herself, I've already done that before!"Honestly, I regret not asking him to cover my losses tonight! That dinner cost me a whole month's salary!" Cynthia sighed, thinking about how she hadn't

    Florence's expression froze instantly.She quickly forced a bright, blooming smile. "You're funny. It was just a drunken night. Why should you take responsibility? You go on ahead. I want to talk to Joanna for a bit." Without giving him a chance to object, she pulled her shoulder free from his grasp.Joanna's sharp eyes glimmered with awareness. Given her keen mind, she had already sensed that something significant had occurred between them.There was no way she believed Florence's dismissive excuse."Florence, don't be like this. It's my fault..." Alex started to say, but Florence's face darkened immediately. Joanna, noticing the tension, quickly intervened, "Alex, you stayed with Florence all night. Go get some rest. You can talk when she's feeling better."Though reluctant, Alex's heart ached when Florence refused to even glance at him. His voice low with disappointment, he murmured, "Florence, I'll be going for now. I'll come back to check on you...""Mm." Florence turned her head

    The next morning, Lionel and Chloe hurried to the hospital, only to find that Florence was still unconscious, much like the previous night.Alex, who had clearly stayed up all night, had red-rimmed eyes from exhaustion. Lionel cast a cold glance at him and then at his sister on the bed before leaving for work.Chloe, worried that Florence might get upset upon waking and seeing Alex, decided to stay and keep watch."Alex, let's talk," Chloe said, pulling a chair up next to Florence's bed."Sure. Go ahead.""Do you really not have any feelings for Florence?""It's not that…" Alex sighed, his voice laden with guilt. "I watched her grow up. She's always been like a sister to me. I never thought of her in any other way. But somehow...I don't even know what happened…"He clenched his fists, frustration written all over his weary but still handsome face. The lines of regret etched deep as he rubbed his temples.Sometimes, he wasn't sure of his own feelings. Whenever Florence chased after him

    Florence already had a naturally round and charming face, but now, with alcohol flushing her cheeks, her entire face glowed a deep crimson, making her look as adorable as a rosy red apple.The room was in complete disarray—several glasses lay shattered on the floor. Florence sat amidst the mess, a bottle of red wine in hand. When Lionel entered, she turned her mouth up into a crooked smile."hehe…" she slurred, her words garbled as her tongue tripped over itself. Her glassy eyes were unfocused, and her fingers tugged at her hair as she rocked unsteadily, her delicate brows knitting together in pain."Florence! You're supposed to be sick—why are you drinking?!" Lionel scolded sharply, bending down to snatch the wine bottle from her hand.Thud—Florence collapsed to the floor."Florence!" Chloe rushed in, shoving Joanna aside in her panic.Joanna's face contorted, a flash of malice glimmering in her eyes. However, Lionel and Chloe were too preoccupied lifting Florence to notice.Her bod

    During dinner, Florence didn't come downstairs, but Alex did."Well, everyone's here," Alex greeted casually, pulling out a chair and sitting down."Perfect timing, as always," Lionel remarked sarcastically."Of course," Alex replied, unbothered, a faint smile tugging at his lips. Compared to Lionel's cold demeanor, Alex's laid-back attitude was like night and day.The two men were polar opposites—yet both exuded charm, confidence, and undeniable good looks."Where's Florence? Not here?" Alex asked after scanning the room a few times. He waited a while but didn't see any sign of her. Finally, he couldn't help but ask.Lionel glanced up from his bowl, his gaze sharp, as if Alex were a rare creature. "Have you lost your mind?"In the past, Alex had avoided Florence like the plague, scurrying away like a mouse from a cat. But today, he was asking about her? Something wasn't right.Alex choked slightly, letting out an awkward laugh. "Florence is my sister too. It's only natural to care ab

    "No! I was wrong! I won't insult you anymore, okay?" She knew she couldn't afford to provoke him now.If it weren't for the baby, honestly... well, she would have been tempted too.Since Lionel had returned after his last trip, it had been quite some time—far too long—for both of them.It wasn't just Lionel who was feeling restless; even she couldn't deny the simmering desire. However, such thoughts were far too embarrassing to voice aloud. Over her dead body would she let her feelings show."That's more like it!" Lionel's voice was hoarse as he struggled to suppress the fire coursing through him. He finally let go of her, sparing both of them further torment.Ten days without touching her. Ten days without even a simple kiss. Just being close enough to breathe in her scent sent him on edge, and now, holding her warm, soft body against his was almost enough to end him.Opening the door, Lionel gestured for the cleaning staff wait

    Lionel's OfficeLionel was engrossed in reviewing documents, with Barton standing silently by his side. Just then, Joanna walked in."Lion…"Joanna called softly."Get out!"Lionel said without looking up, his voice cold and devoid of emotion.Joanna froze, caught between retreating and explaining herself. Her face turned red, then pale, a mix of embarrassment and frustration. Her fingers gripped the fabric of her dress tightly.Glancing at Barton for support, she turned back to Lionel. "I just…""Out! Don't you know to knock before entering my office?"Lionel cut her off icily before she could finish. Barton stood still, expressionless, as though oblivious to the tension in the room."You!"Joanna's face contorted with anger. There was only one person in the world who dared to treat her like this—Lionel!Grinding her teeth, she suppressed the urge to lash out. Exhaling sharply, she stepped out, knocked twic

    Williams Residence.Lionel checked the time for the tenth time.Could Chloe really have turned into a pig? How could she sleep so much? They had already spent most of the day yesterday in bed, and when he returned from the study last night, she was fast asleep again.What puzzled him more was how she always woke up curled in his arms like a kitten. But this morning, when he opened his eyes, she had her back to him, lying apart from him on the other side of the bed.He didn't like it. Not one bit."Chloe—" Lionel shook her gently. She didn't open her eyes. He placed his hand on her forehead—no fever. She wasn't sick.Suddenly, Lionel noticed her eyelashes trembling. She was awake, pretending to sleep. But why?Frowning, Lionel thought for a moment before swiftly pulling her into a sitting position."What are you doing? Can't I get some sleep?" Chloe grumbled, not even sparing him a glance as she flopped back down to continue sleeping.Lionel's eyes narrowed dangerously. If he couldn't

    Pain! Pain! Pain! It hurts so much!Florence clutched her head and turned over. "Ahh..." she gasped in pain, her entire body feeling as if it had been taken apart and put back together wrong. Her waist, hips, and...Wait!Her hips?!Her eyes flew open, and clarity hit her like a cold wave. A realization crashed into her mind, making her breath hitch.Vaguely, she recalled... last night... she and Alex had been drinking...Then Alex kissed her... and after that, there had been dizziness, the world spinning, sensations of movement, aching pain, and strange pleasure!Oh no—She... she had...Her eyes widened to saucer-like proportions. Wrapping her arms around her chest, she glanced down—"Ahh!"She tumbled off the bed in horror.Someone please tell her—what exactly had happened?!She was completely, utterly naked!"Ahh! Ahh!"Florence felt like screaming at the heavens.Her trembling hands grabbed the blanket to cover herself, but—There was a naked man. Right there. Fully exposed in th

    That evening, Lionel entered the study just as Chloe had finished tidying up. A knock sounded at the door. When she opened it, Joanna's sweet smile greeted her."Is something the matter?" Chloe asked."Chloe, can we... talk?" Joanna smoothed her hair back, her eyes flicking toward the room behind Chloe.Chloe flashed a grin. "Of course. Come in. Lion isn't here."Oh, isn't she good at pretending? Engaged? So what? Chloe was still Lionel's real wife. She was curious how long Joanna could keep up the act."Oh, no need. How about we go to my room instead? I wouldn't want Lion to get upset again," Joanna responded with a helpless smile.Of course, she knew Lionel wasn't there! Was Chloe trying to show off?After a brief pause, Chloe nodded readily. "That works too. Lion isn't fond of other women entering his room, anyway."Two can play this game. Chloe was perfectly content to act as though she was oblivious to the drama at Astralis.Joanna's smile stiffened at those words, a flicker of c
