Scarlett knew that Marcie Jones looked down on her. Compared to the prestigious Marcie Jones, Scarlett's humble background could only be described as impoverished. Even though she was a popular actress now, she was still considered a lowly person in Marcie Jones's eyes, not worthy of marrying Ezra.

But now, Marcie Jones had taken the initiative to meet her, which surprised Scarlett.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with the CEO of Montgo Corporation," Marcie Jones said as her opening remark.

Scarlett was taken aback and quickly explained, "Actually, Mr. Montgo and I don't have much of a relationship. Many of the reports in the media are baseless rumors created by journalists to attract attention."

Unexpectedly, Marcie Jones smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Asher Montgo. As the mistress of the Donovan family, it's necessary to make more friends in the business world to become a supportive wife to her husband."

    The silver-gray Maybach came to a stop in front of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, and Asher stepped out of the car. The surroundings were extremely dark, with streetlights visible only from a distance. The warehouse, immense in size, was surrounded by overgrown weeds, appearing silent and eerie in the darkness.Stepping on the gravel path, Asher seemed incredibly familiar with the terrain, taking each step as if he had known this place for a long time. He walked towards the entrance of the warehouse and pushed open the partially closed door, which emitted a heavy creaking sound.The empty warehouse was filled with dust and spiderwebs. The broken windows on the surrounding walls allowed the silver moonlight to seep in, casting a faint glow in the dimly lit space.Asher coldly stared at the person before him. "Why did you call me here? What do you want to say?"In the center of the warehouse stood Scarlett, her red lips curling up into a smile. She said, "Of course

    Scarlett collapsed to the ground, feeling a wave of pain in her jaw and cheeks as Asher released his grip. His fingerprints were imprinted on her cheeks, and her jaw felt numb, as if it had dislocated. If she hadn't been able to move it a few times, she would have thought it was indeed dislocated.Asher looked down at the woman gasping for breath from his superior position. "You should be grateful that you didn't say those words to me a few days ago." Otherwise, he might have lost control tonight and really taken her life.However, he had promised Vivi that he would try to control his emotions and not easily take someone's life.Scarlett didn't understand what Asher meant, but she didn't have the mind to think about it at the moment. Her mind was solely focused on what she would say to Marcie Jones if Asher didn't agree. If this continued, she would have no chance to turn the situation around. She would truly drift further and further away from Ezra. If one day Ezra really wanted to b

    In the middle of the night, Vivienne felt something wrapped around her wrist. She blinked sleepily and saw Asher with something on her hand."What is this?" She reached to turn on the bedside lamp.He held her hand and stopped her, saying, "Vivi, now I have you wrapped around my finger. So, you won't be able to leave me. You will love only me for the rest of your life."He murmured, his warm breath brushing against her cheek. She suddenly felt the hand he held becoming unbearably warm.The next morning, Vivienne finally saw clearly what Asher had wrapped around her hand in the middle of the night—a completed bracelet. She had seen him only halfway through it yesterday, so how... Vivienne stared at the bracelet in a daze. The only explanation was that Asher had continued weaving it after she fell asleep until the bracelet was completed.Her fingers gently traced the bracelet, feeling a mixture of emotions—touched, moved, and most of all, sweet. Looking at the bruise under Asher's eye,

    Gloria Miller smiled bitterly. Even though Asher was her son, he rarely listened to her in the past thirty years."When Sebastian returns, talk to him about this matter," Grandfather suggested.Gloria Miller could only nod in agreement.Asher walked out of the living room and went outside. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, "It seems that there will be a celebration in the family soon."Asher turned around and saw Timothy leaning against the door, looking at him."When did you come back, Second Brother?" Asher asked."I just returned and happened to overhear your conversation," Timothy replied. He walked up to Asher and placed his hand on his shoulder. "But I'm curious, what happened that made you so eager to marry Vivienne?"Timothy felt a momentary stiffness in Asher's body after asking the question. Then, Asher removed Timothy's hand and calmly replied, "Nothing happened."With that, Asher turned around and left. Timothy watched his brother's figure and chuckled softly, "I reall

    Vivienne felt dazed as she slightly parted her lips, allowing Asher's tongue to enter her mouth. It brushed against every inch of her oral cavity, swallowing her saliva and savoring it delicately.She was almost breathless, her entire body flushed with a crimson hue. Meanwhile, his left hand kneaded the softness of her breasts, causing her body to tremble with each touch."Mmm... Ah..." She dared not speak too loudly, fearing it would alarm her mother. She could only let her hand rest on his chest, signaling him to loosen his grip for a moment.However, he continued to deepen the kiss, spreading her legs apart and pressing her core against his swelling desire."Asher..." Just as his lips left hers, she felt a tingling sensation on her neck as he sucked and licked, leaving a trail of red marks."As... Asher..." Her voice was tender and soft. "My mother... will hear..."But instead of dampening his desire, her voice only further fueled it. His throbbing length pressed against her, growi

    Vivienne smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to happen so quickly." Or rather, she hadn't anticipated Asher becoming so eager to get married within a few days."Soon, you'll be called Mrs. Montgo." Julian chuckled. "Tell me, what are your thoughts now?""Thoughts?" Vivienne blinked and replied, "Well, I guess my thought is that you better hurry up and get married too, so our future children can be a pair.""Sure, I'll get married tomorrow, have a daughter, and try to seduce your son." Julian said thoughtfully, staring at Vivienne's belly and lowering her voice, "To be honest, with you rushing into marriage like this, are you pregnant?" This is often portrayed in novels and TV shows, where if someone rushes into marriage, it's highly likely because the woman is pregnant."No," Vivienne replied.Julian touched her nose, "That's a shame. The child you and Asher would have together would definitely be good-looking.""How can you be so sure?" Vivienne asked."Just look at the Montgo fami

    To be honest, Vivienne had never really thought about how much she loved Asher. Seeing her hesitate to answer, Timothy continued, "Asher is willing to give up his life for you. Are you willing to do the same for him?"In Vivienne's mind, a scene of Asher walking towards a gun flashed by. Her body trembled, and she didn't want to witness that scene again. The fear of his life slipping away made her mind go blank."I am," Vivienne replied.Timothy's smile slowly faded, and his gaze fixed on Vivienne as if he was scrutinizing the truth behind her words.However, at that moment, Charles, who had been wearing a cold expression, suddenly paled. He grabbed his chest and his breathing became rapid.Vivienne was startled. Charles's face turned white as if all the blood had drained from it in an instant. Veins bulged on the back of his hand as he pressed it against his chest, resembling a heart patient experiencing an attack.Without waiting for Vivienne to speak, Charles suddenly rushed out of

    “Voice?” Vivienne asked curiously, "Was I talking at that time? What did I say?"Asher's hand on the steering wheel tightened suddenly, and he pursed his lips, "Nothing, you were just greeting the other kids."However, at that time, the person she was talking to was none other than Ezra Donovan!When Timothy returned to the Montgo house, he went to Charles's room first. The room, with no lights on, was dimly lit. Charles lay on the bed, his right hand pressed against his left chest where his heart was, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, lost in thought.Timothy approached the bedside and asked, "Did you sense Dependence on Fate today?"After a long pause, Charles replied, "I believe so.""You believe?" Timothy frowned, "When you chased after them, didn't you see what they looked like?""No," Charles said. When he was in the bridal shop, he suddenly felt an abnormal heartbeat, a palpitation he had never experienced before. It was like a signal, telling him that Dependence on Fate was nearb

    The day before Viola's due date, she was admitted to the hospital and underwent various routine checks. On the following day, Viola remained calm and even flipped through magazines before entering the operating room.In contrast, Nelson was visibly more anxious and approached the doctors several times, asking about various possible emergency situations during childbirth, even though they had already explained them to him many times.When Viola was wheeled into the operating room, Nelson's whole body tensed up. He stood outside the room, staring at the closed door as if he were a statue.Anyone could see how nervous he was, and as time passed, Nelson's complexion grew paler.Viola was considered an older mother, and despite the best doctors that the Montgo family had arranged and even with a caesarean section, there were still risks.Sebastian noticed Nelson's anxious state and gently patted his shoulder.

    "I..." Viola hadn't finished her sentence when Nelson's lips pressed against hers, stopping the words that were about to come out. His tongue swiftly entered her mouth, stirring her saliva, and he took her tongue into his mouth, biting it as if venting all his frustrations.Though her tongue wasn't bleeding, it hurt terribly, and her lips also throbbed with pain from the pressure of his lips. She tried to push him away, but his hands easily restrained her wrists."Mmm... Hmm..." Viola initially struggled, but she didn't dare to move too much, afraid of hurting the child in her belly. Giving up on resisting, she allowed Nelson to kiss her.He kissed her with his eyes closed, his long, thick eyelashes casting a heavy shadow on his eyelids. Meanwhile, she kept her eyes open, staring at his face that was now closer than ever before.He deepened the kiss, seeming to release pent-up emotions, indulging and losing himself in the sensation.When he finally ended the kiss, Viola knew she must

    When Viola returned to the Montgo mansion, Sebastian looked at her with a look of disbelief as she stood there with a big belly. Before leaving, Viola had told her family that she was sent to work in another city by the hospital, and her family didn't suspect anything. They just advised her to take care of herself while outside."How many months pregnant are you?" Sebastian's voice sounded."Almost 8 months," Viola replied honestly."How is your health? You're a doctor yourself, so you should know the risks of having a child at this age," Sebastian worriedly asked. After the shock, his main concern now was his sister's well-being."I know, but there shouldn't be any major problems if it's a cesarean section," Viola said. For women like her who have never given birth before, a cesarean section would be more suitable than a natural birth."Why didn't you stay at home?" Sebastian asked."Because I wanted to clear my mind and quietly find a place to give birth," without getting entangled

    Since the day they parted at the hospital, Nelson withdrew the surveillance around her, and he didn't want to know anything about her. Later, when he tried to find Viola, he couldn't locate her no matter how hard he tried. Until one day, Mort brought news about her. It turned out that Viola had gone to a remote village the next day and had been living there for several months.The car sped along the road. Viola, Viola! Nelson kept repeating her name in his heart.

    Nelson suddenly laughed, his laughter was cold, each laugh feeling like a chilling cold wind blowing across his cheeks.After a moment, his laughter ceased, and he stared straight at her, his voice icy to the extreme, "No regrets! I, Nelson, believe that I can do anything for you, but there's one thing I can't do. Viola, it's not up to you to decide when it's over! It may be over for you, but for me, it's not over yet!""What do you want to do?" His gaze and tone made her feel uneasy."Viola, unless you die, I'll follow you to the end, no matter what!" He said each word deliberately, like a bolt of thunder striking her mind, shaking her heart.She was stunned, and her heart pounded wildly. Did she make a mistake? Did she make a mistake? "To the end"... he actually said such words. Perhaps she had pushed him to the brink for him to say such ruthless words. Or should she say that she had extinguished all of his hopes?Before she could speak, Nelson had already turned around and left the
