Marcia clutched her stomach, ceasing her resistance as she laughed bitterly. "So, your mother's dead, is she?"

Alan froze at her laughter, his face twisted with rage. "What the hell are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing because you're pathetic," Marcia replied coldly, her gaze meeting his without a hint of fear. "You waited until Elijah wasn't home to come here and act tough, didn't you? You're nothing but a coward."

Seeing Alan's face darken further, Marcia's voice turned sharper, full of contempt. "You think bullying a woman somehow makes you powerful? YOU'RE A 100% LOSER, Alan. Your mother's death was your fault, not Elijah's! He only gave you a taste of your own medicine. Your mother's death was a result of your own cowardly pride! You weren't willing to humble yourself to save her, and now you blame others? If it were me, I would do anything—even die—if it meant saving my family. You're the one who couldn't swallow his pride. Your mother's life wasn't worth more to you than your fr

    Seeing Marcia's disheveled state, Nicole scoffed, "What are you just standing there for? Come over here!"She held her high heel firmly, aiming the pointed heel directly at Alan. His expression shifted from anger to pain as he shouted, "Damn it, you witch!"Marcia quickly scrambled to her feet, clutching her torn clothing around her.Nicole, on the other hand, seemed to get more and more spirited with each hit. Hearing Alan's curses, she spat out angrily, "Coward! Attacking a woman? I've been holding back on you outside, you bastard!"She struck so hard that the heel of her shoe snapped off with a loud crack. Alan seized the chance, grabbing her arm roughly and growling through clenched teeth, "Damn it! I'll teach you a lesson!"Nicole was yanked down, falling to the floor, surprise and panic flashing across her face. "Let go of me, bitch!"Alan's head throbbed from her blows, his vision blurred, and he hadn't even realized that the woman struggling beneath him was the famous actress

    Not long after, Nicole pulled the car over and told Marcia to get out. Marcia had no choice—after all, Nicole had saved her, and without hesitation, she followed.However, as soon as they stepped into the room, they were greeted by a group of people, all dressed in trendy, fashionable clothes, gathered around, drinking and playing cards. It was a lively scene.When they appeared, the crowd froze, staring at them in shock."Hey, what's going on here? Halloween already? You look amazing!" one person joked."Nicky, your friend is even more badass than you!" another added."Wait, is that real blood on you, or just ketchup?" someone else asked, eyeing Marcia's appearance.Feeling self-conscious, Marcia tugged at her skirt. Though it was tied in a knot, it was still a few inches shorter than most mini skirts, and she felt utterly embarrassed.Nicole, clearly enjoying the attention, turned her gaze to Marcia and smirked, "You look better than I've ever seen you before."Marcia, aware that sh

    Watching Marcia close the door, Chubby asked anxiously, "Nicky, what's going on? Patricia isn't hurt, is she?"Nicole sighed in frustration, "She already said she's fine! Why don't you believe?""How am I supposed to believe it when you two look like that?! Nicky, did you bring her here on purpose? Knowing there'd be a crowd?" Chubby's eyes bulged as he watched Nicole shrug and chuckle, irritated. "Missy, are you out of your mind? You really think Eli's never coming back just because he went to the U.S.?""I saved her! So what if he comes back? He owes me a favor!" Nicole pouted. "Besides, I'm still mad at him! He suddenly went nuts and wanted to break off our engagement. Anyone would think his secretary's better than me, and that's why he dumped me. Hmph!"Chubby laughed, exasperated. "You're still such a child! So immature! But I'll tell you what: saving her today was a good move. Knowing Eli, this'll get you a lot further than your contract marriage ever could!""Ugh... is that wom

    Marcia emerged from her room in the simplest long-sleeved top and pants, only to find the living room empty. She called out softly a few times, but no one answered.Frowning, she was about to consider leaving when Nicole walked out, wrapped in a towel.Without acknowledging Marcia, Nicole strode over to the sofa, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke. The smoke slowly filled the room, giving the night an air of unreality and loneliness. For some reason, neither woman spoke.After finishing her cigarette, Nicole spoke indifferently, "What's the matter? Want to leaving?"Marcia nodded. "I'm planning to go to a friend's place. Nicole, really, thank you for today. I'll wash your clothes and bring them back tomorrow.""I never wear clothes that other people have worn." Nicole raised an eyebrow. "It's the middle of the night. Aren't you worried about disturbing your friend?""She won't mind," Marcia replied softly. After a moment's hesitation, she added, "Nicole, you should cut back on smokin

    Elijah's voice was cool, but his embrace was filled with an urgency as if he wanted to pull her even closer.Marcia found herself enveloped in his arms, breathing in his familiar scent, and for the first time, she realized how comforting an embrace could be.Listening to his steady heartbeat, a small sense of joy began to blossom within her. She asked quietly, "Sir, when did you get back? And... how did you know I was here?"Even in the dim night, Elijah's eyes were bright, and as their gazes met, Marcia felt a sudden shyness."Where is your Money?" he asked abruptly."Excuse me?"Marcia blinked, momentarily confused, until she realized he was referring to her earlier comment about having no money. Embarrassed, she answered, "I... I left it all at the villa."Elijah let out a quiet hum and, loosening his hold on her a bit, asked, "Need some?"Marcia looked at him, puzzled by his words."No? Then come with me." Elijah's smile faded slightly as he took her arm and led her forward.They

    Marcia's mind was a blur.Suddenly, she remembered her ID was fake; would the documents even be valid? And would his family accept him marrying his secretary?But looking at his serious expression, Marcia felt as if she'd been put under a spell, unable to say anything, only staring at him blankly."You don't have the right to say no." Elijah stood up, his face gentle, his tone unwavering. "No one can reject me twice.""I'll deal with Alan; you don't need to worry.""No!"Hearing Alan's name jolted Marcia awake, and she shouted, "Sir, no!""Oh?" Elijah paused, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean, no?!"Marcia took a deep breath and quickly said, "We can't get married. And with Alan, I want to handle it myself."She looked him straight in the eye, resolute. "Sir, thank you. But I can't. I hope you can respect my choice.""Patricia, do you know what this is called?" Elijah tossed the first-aid kit onto the floor, medicines scattering everywhere. His voice came through gritted teeth. "Y

    The next morning, Elijah woke up just after eight. Marcia was still asleep, resting her head on his arm, with one hand wrapped around his waist. Her breathing was calm and steady, eyes closed, making her look as serene as ever.Elijah frowned slightly. He never considered her particularly beautiful, but she was captivating in a way he couldn't ignore. Her personality wasn't exactly charming, her appearance unremarkable, and her aura too cold.He couldn't quite understand what drew him to her.Before coming to Liverpool, he had investigated her several times.The identity created for her, "Patricia Roberts," was that of a 29-year-old woman with a relatively smooth life. She had studied in the U.S. for four years and had two relationships there. The most significant hardship she'd faced was losing both parents in a car accident two years ago, which had driven her to return to her homeland.Calvin, who had introduced "Patricia," had said they barely knew each other, though she was compet

    Although Marcia was briefly enchanted by sweet words and a handsome face, after dinner, she didn't actually follow Elijah to the church for vows. Currently, she doesn't have a real ID that could pass government scrutiny—all her IDs are fake.This time, however, Elijah didn't push her. With an unusual gentleness, he said, "Go change clothes; we're going to work."Taking her hand, he led her to the bedroom and picked out a red dress for her, a vibrant color that, in Marcia's opinion, was a little too short.She tugged at the dress uncomfortably, her hands slightly sweaty with nerves. "I don't think red suits me. Does it look strange?"Elijah chuckled softly, sounding genuinely sincere. "It looks good. You should wear bright colors more often." He gestured to the closet. "Feel free to wear anything from here."Even without checking the labels, Marcia knew the clothes he picked wouldn't come cheap. She intended to refuse but instead found herself asking, "Did you buy these?""They were gi

    Elijah frowned. "Impossible?" He couldn't understand. "But then... how could you? No, we're going to the hospital right now! The doctors I know are far more reliable than him. I've always found him suspicious. Let's get you checked first, then we can talk about this.""Are you not happy that I can conceive?"Elijah shook his head. "How could I not be happy? But I don't trust him. Let's go to the hospital, okay?"He was overwhelmed with joy, but beneath that joy lay deep concern. If Jeff was lying, how would Marcia handle it? He could live without a child, but he couldn't bear to see Marcia fall into despair again.He never wanted to see her cry. That pain would be far worse than not having a child."Eli, sit down first." Marcia dared not let him take her to the hospital—if they found out she had recently lost a pregnancy, things would be disastrous."The surgery two years ago... Jeff was actually the lead surgeon." Marcia watched Elijah's expression darken as her voice unconsciously d

    Marcia leaned against Elijah's chest, yet a slight unease crept into her heart.She still remembered Jeff's instructions—no intimacy for a month. But when she stole a glance at Elijah, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression serious. For some reason, her heart softened again and again."Eli, what are you thinking about?"Hearing the slight anxiety in Marcia's voice, Elijah held her tightly, resting his head against her neck. His voice was low and gentle. "Nothing. I just think... it's really good that you're here.""Myron is really getting engaged? To... that Nancy?" Marcia traced her fingers over his firm arm, feeling a growing sense of security.She wished she could rely on him like this forever."Mm." Elijah's response was muffled, carrying a hint of an unspoken heaviness.Marcia thought for a moment. "His family has a rule that a man can only marry one woman in his lifetime, right? Does your family have a rule like that?"Elijah chuckled lightly and ran his fingers through

    Elijah let out a soft sigh and gently pulled Marcia behind him. "What are you doing?"Marcia bit her lip, feeling a bit foolish for her reaction. Why did she assume Hayden would actually come to blows with Elijah?Elijah, standing tall and unwavering, met Hayden's gaze head-on, his expression calm. "To bring Myron back to Liverpool.""Back to Liverpool? If he's taking that woman with him, then what's the point? He might as well not come back at all! Damn it!" Hayden raised his fist but ultimately slammed it against the table instead."Hayden, sit down." Myron's voice was deep and hoarse. He seemed exhausted, yet his expression remained resolute. "I chose to marry Nancy on my own. It has nothing to do with my mother or Eli. I appreciate your concern, but enough with the arguments."He glanced at Kevin and chuckled. "What are you scheming now? Think I'm lying?"Kevin cleared his throat awkwardly. "Not at all. If you say so, then it must be true." He had initially suspected this was just

    "Patricia, I thought you two would head straight to the second floor!" Hayden teased with a mischievous grin, taking a sip of his orange juice.Marcia ignored him, her eyes immediately landing on Myron, who sat beside Kevin with a face as dark as ink. At the head of the dining table sat a frail, pale-skinned elderly woman who was scrutinizing her with an assessing gaze.Marcia couldn't help but feel nervous."Auntie, this is Patricia. What do you think? Beautiful, right?" Elijah draped an arm over Marcia's shoulder, grinning proudly.Gloria took a sip of water before smiling lightly. "Hmm, she is beautiful. No wonder you've been so restless, eager to come home!""That's not true! I'm also happy to spend more time with you!" Elijah chuckled, then gently nudged Marcia forward. "Cia, come say hello to Auntie."His eyes were filled with warmth, a look that was second nature to him in front of Myron and the others. But for Gloria, it was the first time witnessing this side of him, and she

    Marcia and Elijah walked hand in hand toward the villa. Since it was located in the suburbs, the fresh air was a rare luxury.A cool breeze brushed against Marcia's face, making her instinctively shrink her neck."Are you cold?" Elijah asked, his voice tinged with concern as he pulled her into his embrace. "I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable if we stayed in the car for too long. Looks like I miscalculated again!"Marcia shook her head and snuggled against his chest with a soft laugh. "Not at all. The air is refreshing, and the scenery is beautiful. But how did you know I was feeling restless in the car? Do you have some kind of mind-reading power? That would be incredible!"Elijah chuckled, gently ruffling her hair. "Your nose is all red. You look just like a little bunny. Makes me want to eat you up!"As he spoke, he playfully rubbed her cheeks. When Marcia looked up at him with a smile, he couldn't resist leaning down to kiss her cool lips."Aren't they waiting for us inside? Le

    Seeing the two of them like this, Marcia couldn't shake the strange feeling growing inside her. She pulled out her phone to check for any messages from Elijah. The last thing on their chat was a simple "Good night" from both of them. A faint smile curved her lips.She casually snapped a photo of the highway scenery outside the car window and sent it to Elijah.Since it was still early, she hadn't expected an immediate response. But to her surprise, he seemed to have been awake all night—his reply came almost instantly."Already on the road? Are you tired? You should get some rest in the car!"Marcia bit her lip lightly and typed back curiously, "Did you not sleep? I'm not tired. I've been resting at home these past few days.""Hmm, I heard about that. Why are you so lazy and always sleeping?" Elijah chuckled, then added, "Even though I feel bad for you, my love, I'm so happy that I'll see you soon."Seeing him call her lazy, Marcia instinctively glanced at Kevin, who was driving. It h

    Ever since that terrible experience, Marcia had developed a subtle aversion to "Calderstones."Elijah had been away for five days now. They spoke on the phone daily—sometimes just exchanging a few words, other times lingering as if they couldn't bear to hang up.The distance seemed to intensify their feelings, making them feel like a couple deeply in love.A call in the early morning. The phone was warm in her hand. Though sadness still lingered in her heart, Marcia felt as if Elijah was slowly healing her, piece by piece.Since her surgery, she had become more sensitive—more reliant on Elijah. She wanted him to return, yet at the same time, she hoped he wouldn't come back too soon. She longed for his embrace but also feared the warmth he brought.Torn between these emotions, her longing for him only grew stronger.Sometimes, as she lay in her empty bed, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he were beside her&md

    "He's just a wolf in sheep's clothing," Hayden remarked leisurely, pouring himself a cup of hot water. Watching the steam rise, he smiled faintly and casually asked, "Patricia, did you already know Myron was fine? Otherwise, how could you be in the mood to come out for a meal?"Marcia was momentarily stunned. After a brief silence, she chuckled. "I contacted Eli. Besides, there wasn't much to eat at home. Everyone's had a tough day—it's only right that we treat ourselves to a meal. Why? Do you think there's something wrong with that?"Hayden smirked. "Not at all. Just a funny coincidence." He blew on his cup, took a small sip, and added, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you hadn't been home at all."Shirley shot him a glare. "Hayden, your mindset is all wrong!""Oh?" Hayden raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.Shirley shook her head dramatically and said with an air of seriousness, "Have you been spending too much time with Demon? You've picked up the nasty habit of

    "Did she ask you anything? Or did she want you to do something?" Marcia sat up straight, her tone cold and sharp.Jeff snapped out of his thoughts and replied calmly, "She was curious if you were pregnant. Oh, that reminds me, was she the one at Calderstones that time...?"Before he could finish, he paused, realization dawning on his face. "No wonder!"Marcia stared at him intently. "What did you tell her? Did you take her money? What about Alan? Was he there too?"Jeff shot her a glare. "I'm a doctor. What do you take me for? She's pregnant, and Alan? Oh, you mean that man? No, I didn't see him."Pregnant? A sharp pain struck Marcia's heart. Kate was pregnant again, while she… she had lost her child.Fate was truly laughable. The heavens remained as unfair as ever.Perhaps sensing her hatred too clearly, Jeff coughed lightly and continued, "Alright, stop glaring at me. I'm on your side."Marcia eyed him suspiciously but said nothing.Jeff sighed. "I refused to be her private doctor,
