[warning- Steamy scenes] "Wife!" the man lovingly said. "What exactly are you attempting to do? I am not your wife, Mr. Richard Hill! Behave!" "Stop playing with men, Woman,” his distasteful voice spoke. “You are no one. Thus, I feel bothered by your presence,” Anastasia was cruel with her answer. “I have proof we are married! Furthermore, you own fifty percent of my fortune because I have vowed to spoil you for the rest of my life. Keep in mind that you are mine, and I am a possessive guy. Every eye will be dug out if they fall on you," the voice and declaration were both forceful. "I have heard you can't touch a woman because of your disease!" Ana smirked. Anastasia Long married a billionaire, Richard Hill. She knew nothing about the family or the spouse since she was coerced into it by her mother and stepfather, who exploited her mother in terrible ways. She had a step-sister as well, but her stepfather would never consider putting his own daughter into the fire. She tolerated the anguish and pain inflicted by her mother-in-law and the mistress who intended to marry Richard, but she was unfortunate to be placed in such circumstances. They humiliated her, burned her clothes, and starved her till she ended up in the hospital for a week. However, her husband never came to see her. Surprisingly, Richard Hill never met her or spoke to her as if she were married to someone who did not exist. She was made to sign a divorce decree one day, and she fled the city for five years. Upon her return, she was renowned as Dr. Anastasia Long, a gifted surgeon. People kissed her feet.

Chapter 1

The ruthless reality

[The novel contains several adult situations.]

★★★★

The sound of a choked voice filled the room, accompanied by constant sobbing. It was Anastasia, and she was struggling with a deep sense of confusion and pain. "Mom, why am I experiencing all of this?" she asked in between sobs, her voice barely audible.

At the tender age of 19, she found herself married to a stranger. The whole affair seemed rather surreal to her - the wedding ceremony was nothing more than a mere formality, and she had never even exchanged a single word with her supposed "husband". The worst part, however, was that the marriage had already been consummated on paper; her signature was the only thing left to make it official. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of life lay ahead of her.

Tears streamed down her face as she huddled in the dark, dingy corner of the room. It was a storage space that had been hastily cleared out to accommodate her, but the lingering scent of dust and decay filled her nostrils. The bed, which she had been forced to sleep on, was dirty and musty, with no hint of comfort. She had never imagined that the family she had trusted would treat her so inhumanely, especially considering that they were fully aware of her marriage to Richard Hill.

Anastasia was lost in her thoughts, her mind occupied with the possibility that maybe she was not the one he desired to be his spouse. She wondered if he had other preferences or if there were any specific traits he was looking for in a partner that she lacked. She couldn't help but let her tears flow freely, as she was overwhelmed with feelings of sadness and insecurity.

The man did not attempt to get in touch with her or visit her. Why had he tied the knot with her like this? Furthermore, were my parents aware that this would happen to me?

Suddenly, the door burst open and a person barged in, her tone unconcerned despite the fact that she had just interrupted a newlywed. "What are you doing on the floor?" she demanded.

Anastasia's body jolted upright, her eyes wide with fear. As a young woman who had been coerced into coming to this place, every sound and movement around her seemed to be a potential threat. The fear that gripped her was palpable, and she couldn't shake the feeling that danger lurked around every corner.

"I-I," Anastasia found herself in a state of speechlessness, rendering her unable to utter a single word. Consequently, she was subjected to a few more unpleasant remarks from the maid and had no choice but to listen helplessly.

"How can I forget that you are the dumbest woman to marry into this family and think you can be Richard Hill's wife? Our Young Master will be thrilled to have you as his soulmate. What a foolish girl! I was wondering how long it would take you to decay here in this room."

Anastasia's worry was tangible as she realized that all her worst imaginings were now becoming a reality. As she tried to comprehend the situation, she felt her chest tighten and her throat grow dry. Her palms grew damp with sweat as she asked with a trembling voice, seeking reassurance from someone, anyone who could offer it.

"Why are you saying that? I did not come here to die!" she asked.

"What are your thoughts on coming here, beautiful Ana, I mean Anastasia?" Another middle-aged woman appeared and stood behind the servant, who quickly stepped away from the entrance and kept her head low. Though she wanted to enjoy more of this small girl's fright, she couldn't do so in front of the Mistress, who was more cruel than a monster!

"Richard and I got married. I am feeling quite distressed and confused about the treatment I am receiving from those around me. Despite being married to my husband, it seems that people are treating me poorly for reasons that are unclear to me. I want to emphasize that I have not said or done anything negative towards anyone, so the mistreatment is particularly unwarranted and hurtful," Anastasia spoke bravely because she recognized the individual in front of her. She was the one who gave the servant the order to lead her into this room; she was Richard's mother.

"Wife! Haha! You have been encouraged to dream of being married to Richard Hill, but it pains me to tell you that you will never be able to fulfill that desire since you lack the status and power of Emelia, who is chosen to be Richard's bride."

Looking at Anastasia from head to toe, Richard's mother stated haughtily, "Since Emelia is your age, we are waiting till she gets twenty-five."

“Aside from her attractive face and red hair, the woman lacks the qualities required to be her son's wife,” Mrs. Hill thought, “Her son is the rarest star, and not everyone is lucky enough to have him.”

Anastasia was not surprised because they had been making her feel like she couldn't be Richard's wife or a member of this family since the time she walked into the house; instead, she was baffled about why this marriage had occurred if they had another plan for their son.

"Didn't your family beg my parents for my hands in marriage?" Anastasia inquired, clinching her fist since she was feeling disoriented due to the unannounced storm. She was by herself, and people began throwing rocks at her.

“Richard's grandmother offered the marriage to your family, and the reason is still unknown. However, Richard's lack of presence and care has made it clear to everyone that he does not care about this marriage, or you," Richard's mother harshly said, a smirk lingering on her lips and those vicious gleaming eyes staring at Ana with loathing, who was tightly holding back her tears because she did not want to appear affected.

Richard's mother, on the other hand, was upset when she learned that the crazy old woman had planned the marriage for her son without her knowledge, and she was resolute about opposing the marriage until she discovered that her son did not attend the wedding but instead sent the woman a signed paper. As a result, she assumed Richard was also opposed to this marriage. Thus, she determined to torture this woman until she left this house of her own volition so that that insane old woman would never seek her son to marry another filthy family again.

"Then what am I going to do here?" Anastasia innocently inquired. She couldn't think of a compelling reason why she was here.

“In light of your circumstances, this is an excellent question. If you decide to follow my advice, you have two options: either you stay here and hope for your own death because every member of this family will make you feel worse, or you can call your family and they will take you from here voluntarily. Your spouse is the most significant person in this marriage, but he did not bother to visit you or bestow upon you the status you believe you have earned," Richard's mother said with a snigger.

She stood there, frozen, unable to utter a single word or even process a coherent thought. Her eyes were fixed downward, locked onto her own feet, and her expression was unsteady - a mix of fear and confusion. As the moments ticked by, the fear inside of her continued to grow, until it felt as if it would consume her completely. It was then that Richard's mother broke the silence, her voice ringing out in the tense atmosphere, "Bring her some food, but make sure it's not the same as what we're having."

"Yes, madam!" the servant said.

The servant soon brought the door shut, and Anastasia fell on the ground, sobbing aloud.

Unconsciously, she murmured "Mom!" before considering contacting her family. Yes, she needed to leave this household immediately or they would kill her.

Talking to family
★★★★ "Take me home, mom! I would prefer not to remain here. These individuals pose a threat. Mom, they're going to kill me if I stay any longer. This is not a marriage!" Wiping away her tears, Anastasia pleaded hurriedly, hoping her mother would hear her and take her out of the house. "Ana, I understand that the current situation may not be ideal for you, but please remember that the house you are currently residing in belongs to you and your husband, Richard Hill. Although your marriage may not be a typical one, with a little bit of adjustment, you can have a better future,” Ana's mother responded steadily despite the fact that her daughter's choked voice indicated that something was wrong. She missed such obvious signs that her daughter had been upset by something. 'or Ana's mother was doing that purposefully.!' "Mom, no... this is not the greatest place for me to live my life; instead, every day will be awful. They assigned me a dirty store room to dwell in, and Richard'

Another humiliation
★★★★★ The door banged violently in the morning, startling Anastasia who had gone to sleep last night after sobbing for over an hour. In addition, she didn't eat yesterday night, thus her first thought upon waking up was food. Anastasia staggered over to the door and opened it, only to see the same servant standing there with the clothes in her hand. “It appears that you slept soundly last night. If you wish to eat breakfast, put on these clothes and join the rest of the family at the breakfast table within ten minutes; else, food will not be served to you later," The servant said while rolling her eyes. She could not get over the pleasure she got from criticizing this woman; it made her feel superior. Anastasia's expression was plain, and she didn't force herself to speak since she believed she deserved it. It was not their fault; it was her parents who purposefully pushed her into this circumstance and had no intention of helping her out of it. Which meant that no matter how horr

Jerry's dirty intentions
★★★★ Ana had endured a terrible week, losing a lot of weight while working nonstop for twenty-four hours in the Hill home with other maids, and not receiving food like the others. She generally ate a small amount of food twice a day, which was why she became sick a few days ago. But what convinced her to give up the struggle was that, despite their presence at the hospital, her parents made no mention of taking her with them, nor did they take any action against Hill's family. Her heart felt hopeful when she saw them because she assumed that given her condition, her parents would call the police, but they confirmed she was not a lucky child, and neither did her parents regard her as their child. When they were leaving, Ana did not cry for a single moment, nor did she urge them to come back. Her heart had been encased in a thick coating of ice when her parents' distant behavior was revealed to her; this small act also helped her realize she was alone. She was a gifted medical stude

Anastasia running away
★★★★ "Ahh!! Oh fuck! Blood!" Jerry felt paralyzed when he saw the red liquid on his hand and turned to Anastasia, who was also shuddering at the sight of blood. Ana began to feel suffocating because Jerry was bleeding profusely. "I will kill you tonight and then bury you in this room," Jerry howled menacingly, storming Anastasia to kill her, but Ana flung the lamp stick again as she got out of bed. She bent a little and picked up the bag off the floor before bolting from the room. Jerry removed his t-shirt and rolled it into a ball before placing it on the wound that was jetting out blood as he rushed out from the room following Anastasia, who could not be alive after today, and he was adamant to kill her tonight. An alarm switch that had been there for emergencies if a robber entered this residence as well as for other purposes was mounted on the wall. This button was also near the entrance, but Anastasia didn't know about it and didn't think that knowing about it would help her.

Five years later
5 years later★★★"Can we anticipate that you will make New York your permanent home, Dr. Anastasia?" A redhead woman emerged from the automobile, prompting a reporter to ask out loud. She pushed the door closed and put on her sunglasses as she began walking. Her white skin glistened like crystal in the sunlight, while her hair appeared like a cascade magnified by the dawn. Even though the media representatives were there to conduct their duties, the breathtaking beauty in front of them caused them to gasp in awe."Doctor, who is your boyfriend? Are you getting married anytime soon?" Another reporter inquired as to when Anastasia crossed her path while on her way to the hospital with a guard shielding her from the mob. Though it was unusual for a doctor to be so renowned, Anastasia was a wonderful surgeon at such a young age, and as a result, she was well-known to people of all ages; also, her amazing beauty drew people to her. Despite her notoriety, Dr. Anastasia was extremely pri

Meeting him for the first time
★★"I am a doctor. I am here to check your health, Mister. Let go of my hand," Anastasia commanded with a scowl, her wrist throbbing with excruciating pain since the grip was more than just a grab.But the man continued to stare at Ana with wide eyes, until suddenly the grasp on her hand eased, and the man closed his eyes. Anastasia soon realized something was wrong, and she acted fast by reaching over the man and placing her finger under his nose, sensing he was not breathing."Nurse!" Anastasia yelled and began pumping his chest with both hands. However, this was insufficient to help the man breathe, so she pinched his nose opened his mouth, and began transferring air.Her mouth pressed against his, forcing air into his mouth to quicken his heartbeat.Suddenly a man burst into the ward and discovered a woman doing something to his boss."What are you doing? Who lets you in?!" The man raced to Anastasia in an attempt to fling her away from his boss, and she would later face severe pu

His health triggered
★★★"Meaning that I am no longer suffering from a specific ailment that I was unaware even existed until I experienced such a horrible reaction to a woman's touch," Richard contemplated the miracle he had been hoping for ages. Despite the fact that he had left no great doctor to examine him, there was always a dreadful failure he had to face till now. But today a woman touched him, and it was a proper touch, his condition did not trigger."Yes, it is one possible development I can conceive of, but how has your condition gotten better on its own, given that every doctor has informed us there isn't a cure?" George muttered, his forehead furrowed as he tried to figure out how this had happened.Suddenly, the ward door burst open, and a lady trudged in; her face was covered with worry as she hurried to Richard to the bed, but she halted her step at a proper distance because she did not want to make the same mistake of touching him as she had done years ago. She was still terrified as she t

Anastasia broke Jackson's heart
*****With beseeching eyes and a hopeful heart, Jackson asked, "Ana, are you sure you do not want to eat because I was serious about bringing you out of a fine Italian restaurant?"He hoped she would answer 'Yes'"Despite my weakness for Italian food, I am unable to accept this lucrative offer. I am tired!" Anastasia said grumpily, "And you know I have a dog, so I need to train the maid how to manage Sky while I am away. Maybe some other day I would want you to give me such a tempting proposition again," completing her sentence, Ana exited the vehicle, leaving Jackson with a void in his heart that he smothered with a pursed lip."I need to establish a place in your home before gaining entry to your heart," Jackson reasoned while maintaining his good mood before exclaiming, "All right, Anastasia. Good night!"Anastasia gave him a soft grin and waved her hand before entering her flat, which was more akin to a top-floor penthouse. Though she was only in New York for a short time, she pre

Ana pissed Richard
****Anastasia arrived at the hospital around 1 o'clock. Her heels clicked on the ground as she made her way to that specific floor. However, when the lift came to a halt, she noticed the same man standing with whom she had spoken before. His expression gave away that he was waiting for her or someone else."I am grateful that you decided to return. While a doctor handled the problem rather effectively, we still need your watchful eye to ensure the boss is safe," George remarked, casting a sidelong glance at the attractive woman whose face resembled a bud ready to bloom. She did not use makeup, so one could tell she was extremely youthful, yet her aura was as powerful as that of a mature woman."It is not advisable to ask another doctor to treat a patient who has received excellent treatment from the first one. He is under the watch of another doctor, therefore I am not going to prescribe any medication," Anastasia stated sternly before dragging her heels towards the ward."I apologis
