Harry's body stiffened involuntarily, fearing that Asher might notice something. He discreetly reached for the concealed dagger in his pocket. He had prepared the dagger as a last resort, determined to subdue Asher today. "All I need is to capture him in a compromising situation with another woman on video, and then his future will be ruined," Harry thought.Meanwhile, Asher's hand traced Vivienne's forehead and slowly moved down to her neck. Although it appeared affectionate, his fingers were positioned on her carotid artery, sensing the pulsation."Asher, Vivienne is still sleeping. Let's not disturb her; she spent a lot of effort trying to persuade me earlier. How about we go back to the living room for a while?" Harry hurriedly suggested, afraid that Asher might discover something if he lingered.Asher slowly straightened up and stared coldly at Harry. "Fine," he said and then adjusted the blanket around Vivienne before leaving the room, with Harry following behind.In the living
"If... if I die, Vivienne will be heartbroken!" Harry shouted with all his strength. At this point, the only one who could save him was Vivienne.Tina finally snapped out of her shock, realizing that she needed to save herself first. Asher was a lunatic, and if she stayed in the room any longer, once he finished with Harry, he might come after her!Terrified, Tina scrambled towards the door, frantically searching for her keys to unlock the door she had previously secured. However, as she opened the door, she was met with several of Asher's bodyguards standing outside. One of them forced her back into the room.In the living room, Harry continued to plead for mercy. Asher released his grip, and Harry collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated."Stay away from Vivi in the future, or I will really take your life," Asher warned coldly.He then went to the sink, washing the blood from his hands, and took off his blood-stained jacket, revealing a clean sweater underneath. Once done, Asher en
Two days later, Vivienne encountered an angry Hank and Rosie at the entrance of her mother's hospital room."Vivienne, you've gone too far. Harry is seriously injured!" Rosie scolded Vivienne as soon as she saw her.Before Vivienne could speak, Hank joined in with an aggressive tone, "Vivi, it's one thing that you refuse to help Harry repay his debts, but why treat him like this? He's still your cousin! I never expected you to be so heartless. If I had known what kind of person you are, I wouldn't have let your mother keep you!"Vivienne didn't know how serious Harry's injuries were, but at this moment, she had no interest in finding out. She looked coldly at her uncle and aunt and said without flinching, "Why don't you ask Harry what he did to me before?""What could Harry do to you!" Rosie angrily retorted."If Aunt asks Harry, you'll know what he did. If there's nothing else, I need to take care of my mom. I hope you won't disturb us," Vivienne said."What are you saying? Today, I'
Inside the hospital, when Viola walked out of the hospital room, she noticed Nelson standing outside the door, clearly waiting for her. Viola didn't spare Nelson a second glance, but he continued to follow her.Viola had received specialized training from the Montgo family since she was young, and her hearing was much sharper than an average person's. She could clearly hear the footsteps behind her with each sound.These past few days, Nelson had been standing at her office door and following her wherever she went, making him a hot topic of gossip during tea breaks in the hospital. However, due to her family background and her seemingly cold and proud demeanor since coming to the hospital, not many dared to discuss it in front of her.But continuing like this wasn't acceptable. Who knew how long he intended to follow her and what his real purpose was? Even if he didn't mind becoming a laughing stock, she no longer wanted to be the subject of gossip.Rubbing her forehead, Viola walked
Suddenly, Viola's brows furrowed, and the pain in her body returned. Tomorrow was the day of the full moon, and this pain served as a reminder of how excruciating it would be.Viola gritted her teeth, enduring the spreading pain in her body. Compared to the pain during the full moon, the current pain was much milder. As long as she clenched her teeth and endured with all her strength, she could get through it.Her trembling hands opened her small handbag, and she took out a white medicine bottle containing a drug developed by the Montgo family to suppress this kind of pain. However, this medicine could only alleviate the intermittent pain before the full moon. It had no effect on the excruciating pain that erupted during the full moon.As she was about to unscrew the bottle cap, her hand trembled in pain, causing the bottle to slip from her grasp and roll to a stop in front of a pair of black leather shoes. A hand picked up the white medicine bottle, and the familiar voice sounded abo
The car pulled up in front of a villa, and Nelson carried Viola upstairs to the bedroom. He gently placed her on the soft bed and delicately removed her high heels and stockings.Nelson gazed at her in fascination and couldn't help but kiss her lips, tenderly and passionately. She remained still, like a quiet doll, letting him kiss her over and over again.Time seemed to pass without notice as he continued to kiss her. Reluctantly, he temporarily pulled away from her lips, undressed her, and revealed her beautiful and fair body before him, which mesmerized him completely.Standing up, Nelson gradually removed his own clothes one by one..."Viola, if you wake up, you'll probably call me despicable," he whispered as his body covered hers. "But even if you do, even if you hate me even more, I still want you..."Too much desire, too much yearning... Was he being selfish? Selfish enough to disregard her feelings, forcing himself on her again after ten years? Had he doomed himself to descen
Viola didn't even spare a glance at Nelson as she walked out of the room, descended the stairs, and headed towards the mansion's main entrance. Nelson followed behind her at a leisurely pace, watching as she was stopped by several guards stationed at the gate. She attempted to knock them down, but more guards blocked her way."Viola, you can't leave." Nelson's voice rose calmly.Viola pursed her lips, her breath slightly hurried from the recent scuffle. She knew this was his territory, and the current situation made her realize one thing - it was impossible to force her way out. With her skills, she could take down a group of people, but she couldn't withstand facing even more.At the same time, she understood why he had allowed her to leave the room without any hindrance. He wanted her to experience this frustration firsthand, so she would give up on the idea of leaving.Turning around, Viola looked at Nelson standing behind her. Her voice was cold, as if she were discussing a busine
Viola looked around the bedroom before her and rubbed her forehead. The similar decoration and furnishings to last night's room didn't uplift her mood. The person who had guided her had respectfully left the room after she entered.She tossed her handbag onto the bed and tidied her hair, running her fingers over the hickey marks on her collarbone and neck.If she stayed here for two days and left afterward, these hickey marks should have faded enough that she wouldn't have to worry about others seeing them. She wouldn't need to come up with excuses to explain them away.Nelson was efficient. In less than an hour, a servant knocked on her door, holding bags of clothes—coats, dresses, pants, shoes, underwear—everything she needed."If Miss Montgo has any other requests, please feel free to let us know," the servant respectfully said, returning Viola's bank card."For now, nothing else," Viola replied. Once the servant left the room, she casually chose a casual outfit and changed out of
When Sheila Montgo's baby was born, Asher felt a little disappointed because the child's appearance showed no resemblance to her mother.In Asher's daydreams, he hoped his daughter would look more like Vivienne. However, being a newborn, with wrinkled skin and all, she simply looked like a little monkey.As Sheila grew day by day, her facial features became more distinct, and she started to resemble Asher more and more. Despite Asher's initial disappointment, Vivienne was delighted, especially when she saw the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, staring at her. It gave her a sense of accomplishment.It was after Sheila's birth that Vivienne learned about the Montgo family's blood curse. Asher took the initiative to tell her, and the revelation left Vivienne utterly shocked, like a storm at sea.The Montgo family's blood curse meant that in the next generation of Montgo children, one of them would inherit it. Although Vivienne felt uneasy and worried, when Sheila turned five, the
Compared to the newborn baby, Nelson was more concerned about Viola. After she was brought back to her hospital room, he never left her side. After the baby was cleaned up, it was brought to the bedside, lying next to Viola.The little baby closed its eyes. Was this his and Viola's child? A rush of tenderness surged in Nelson's heart. Would the child resemble him or Viola? If possible, he hoped the child would resemble Viola more.Just as he was thinking about this, the baby suddenly moved, half-opening its eyes and then bursting into wailing cries. Viola, who had been sleeping, woke up because of the baby's crying."Bring the baby to me; she must be hungry, and I want to breastfeed her," Viola said.Only then did Nelson realize that she had woken up. Following her instructions, he stiffly picked up the baby. In that moment of holding the soft little body, he felt an indescribable sensation.Viola couldn't sit up at the moment, so she needed to lie down to breastfeed the baby. Nelson
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. "Don't worry, Viola and the baby will be fine."But Nelson remained motionless, h
"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. She was so close, only two hours away... no, an hour and a half, and he could see her!He had so many words he wanted to say to her. He wanted to tell her not to try to avoid him, that he could endure her disgust, her indifference, and even her love for her Dependence on Fate. But... he couldn't endure not seeing her!Ten years ago, when she disappeared from his world, even though he aged overnight, he could wait for her to come back. But now, after she vanished, he had lost even the patience to wait.He couldn't endure it li
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
In the obstetrics and gynecology operating room, he ran as if he had gone mad, his handsome face showing anxiety, unease, and panic.If those who knew Nelson were to see him in this state, they would undoubtedly be shocked. The composed and calm man would reveal such an expression!The light was on at the entrance of the operating room, but among the crowd waiting outside, he didn't see that familiar figure.Is she inside the operating room? His heart clenched tightly, feeling the intensifying unease.Nelson rushed toward the operating room, and the nurse at the door tried to stop him, "Sir, there's a surgery in progress, you can't just go in like this!""Get out of my way!" He coldly retorted, pushing the nurse aside. The fierce aura emanating from him made the nurse dumbfounded. Though he was undeniably handsome, he looked more like a ferocious demon at that moment.Nelson charged toward the operating room again, and this time, the other nurses and attendants reacted. They bravely s
One month later, when Viola was at the hospital working, she suddenly felt nauseous and started vomiting. It was then that she realized she might be pregnant. She went to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test kit. Looking at the two bars on the test kit, her body felt a chill.Is she pregnant? Although pregnancy test kits might not always be accurate, the chances of them being wrong were very low. And now, she had tested with more than one kit, and they all showed that she was pregnant.Viola was usually calm and composed, even when dealing with family matters that made her anxious and worried, she could still make quick judgments. But now, she really didn't know what to do. She never imagined that one day she would be carrying Nelson's child!Back in her office, Viola lowered her head, looking at her still-flat abdomen. Was there really a life growing in her uterus? But right now, other than experiencing morning sickness, she didn't feel anything else. It even made her feel like t
