Emilia turned on her heels and ran away before they could pay attention to her. She decided she wouldn't stay in New York for another second.

On the other hand, Richard punched Mason in the face, each word coming out between gnashing teeth, "You think going through plastic surgery would make you attractive to Ana, to my Ana? Never!"

"She is mine! You left her like trash, while I protected her. You do not deserve her!" Mason shouted, launching a kick to Richard's stomach. Richard fell to the floor but immediately got back on his feet and punched Mason in the nose, causing him to stumble.

"Don't you dare talk about deserving her," Richard growled.

Mason wiped the blood from his nose, his eyes blazing with anger. "And you think abandoning her was the right thing to do? You were a coward!"

Richard lunged at Mason, grabbing his collar. "I never abandoned her! I stepped back because I thought it was best for her."

Selena, in tears, screamed, "Stop it, both of you! This isn't helping

    **** "I will tear your mouth off if you ever speak to me like that again," Ana hissed, her eyes blazing with fury. "I didn't realize you could be so foolish, especially knowing that your nephew is aware of everything. Do you really think you can get away with this?" Her voice trembled with a mix of anger and frustration. Despite knowing that talking to him might not yield any useful information, it was the only way to understand what was really going on in his mind. "Oh, my worthless nephew," Jerry sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "He's too preoccupied with other women, indulging in how they feel in his hands. I doubt he'll bother rescuing you. And even if he does try, by then, I will have taken you far away from New York." A menacing glow illuminated his face in the darkness, amplifying the sinister edge of his smirk. Ana felt a sharp pang in her heart, tears threatening to spill, but she held them back. "You can't do this," she said, her voice trembling with restrained

    *****As Richard stepped in, he suspiciously found the place was empty. His senses heightened, every shadow seemed to move, every creak a warning. Suddenly, he heard Ana's voice, crying for help.Richard hurriedly followed the sound, arriving at a shadowy hallway where a single, heavy door stood. His eyes sharply looked around as he called out, "Ana, are you here?!""Richard, is it you?!" Ana's voice rang out, a mix of joy and relief."Yes, it's me," Richard replied, his voice steady. The sound brought a wave of relief over Ana, who wiped her tears with a trembling smile. She had scarcely hoped to hear his voice so soon and now couldn't hold back her desire to embrace him."I thought you wouldn't come," Ana confessed, her voice trembling with a mix of jealousy and hurt. "I've seen you with other girls, holding hands with them." Her eyes, usually so strong, now brimmed with tears she couldn't hold back. Despite her efforts to appear indifferent, the sight of Richard with other women h

    ***** Richard did not heed Ana's words, continuing to fight against the four men with relentless determination. Meanwhile, George and two others found themselves trapped in a room, locked away by Jerry's men. It was from here that they had heard Ana's earlier cries for help. "Shit! I am sure the boss and Miss Ana are in trouble. We have to do something," George muttered, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "What can we do? There's no window, just this door," one of the men who had come with George and Richard said, his voice edged with panic. George took a deep breath, a plan forming in his mind. "Alright, listen up," he said firmly, his eyes narrowing with resolve. "Here's what we're going to do. I'll shoot at the door continuously to weaken it. You two stand against the wall. As soon as the door opens, spread this powder." He pulled out a small pouch from his pocket. "Cover your mouths when you do it. Be careful—I don't want any of us to fall unconscious." The men nodded in und

    *****"Anyone, please, help!" Ana shouted, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face. She knew how crucial it was to get Richard to the hospital.Jerry staggered to his feet, gingerly touching his broken jaw and bleeding nose. Richard's powerful punches had left his face mangled. He looked terrifying, and so did his thoughts. As he turned his head, he saw the gun lying on the floor. Dragging his feet, he picked it up, his hand trembling slightly. He aimed it at Ana, his eyes cold and unfeeling. "Stop crying, Ana," Jerry said hoarsely. "No one's coming to save you."Ana's eyes widened in fear, but she held her ground. "Jerry, please, he needs help. You don't have to do this."Jerry laughed bitterly, the sound harsh and grating. "Do you think I care? He deserved it. And now, it's your turn to suffer."Jerry was about to pull the trigger and kill Ana, consumed by the thought, "If she can't be his, then she should not be alive."Ana, on the other hand, closed her eyes, wrapping

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Ana has to operate

    "I had very carefully put Ana to bed last night," Sonia said with confidence. "I'm sure whatever happened must have occurred this morning. At the same time, I messaged Jackson and asked him to send you home," she explained, her voice steady. She had left Ana safely in another room before heading over to Mason's room. However, when she returned to Ana's room in the morning, she didn't find her there, which made her think Ana might have left for home. Phoebe looked puzzled. "So, you're saying Ana was fine when you left her?" "Yes," Sonia confirmed. "I made sure she was safe and asleep. I wouldn't have left her otherwise." Phoebe's voice quivered as she spoke, "I'm sorry if I sound judgmental, but I can't shake this feeling that I should have been more careful last night." Tears welled up in her eyes as she fretted over what could have happened to Ana while she was safe at home. Sonia responded with empathy, "I understand. Right now, all we can do is hope and pray for the best." She r

    *****"Ana," Phoebe called softly, tugging lightly at Ana's hand as she stepped out in her surgical gown."Are you really sure about this?" Phoebe's voice trembled with concern. "What if Richard doesn't even remember you? Do you want to go through with it so hastily?" Her eyes were filled with worry, her brow furrowed as she stared at Ana's face for reassurance."His life means everything to me," Ana said, taking a deep breath. "Right now, it doesn't matter to me whether he recognizes me when he wakes up or not. I'll accept whatever fate has in store for us."Phoebe looked at her friend, noticing the cold, almost clinical expression on Ana's face. It was a look she'd seen before—one Ana wore whenever she prepared for a major work. Ana believed that feelings and emotions had no place in critical moments, and today was no exception."But Ana," Phoebe pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation, "how can you be so detached about this? This isn't just any operation. This is Richard. Your R

    ******Ana blushed further, like a young girl who had just felt her heart flutter upon hearing the truth from the man she had taken a liking to."Then who was that girl with you, and why did you let her touch you?" Ana asked, her brow furrowed in displeasure."She was Mr. Warner's daughter," Richard explained gently. "I met with her to discuss the letters from our fathers. Her touching me was accidental. I quickly moved away, worried my body might react again. It wasn't the right time to fall ill," he added with a soft smile."The blood clot in your brain was the reason for this unusual reaction in your body. It was never your disease," Ana revealed the truth to Richard.Richard smiled lightly, causing Ana to raise her eyebrows in confusion. "What’s so funny about what I said?" she asked."Are you hiding something from me?" Ana probed, her voice tinged with concern."No, I'm not hiding anything," Richard replied, his smile fading into a more serious expression. "When I read the letter

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Note for readers

    Thank you for reading. Regarding the letters from Mr. Warner: I previously mentioned Richard confiding in Ana about the clot in his brain, revealing that he doesn’t have much time left. Richard's father was aware of this as well. Moreover, he didn’t want to tarnish his mother’s image in Richard’s mind, which is why he wrote those letters and kept them hidden, setting certain conditions. Ana received a letter where her father explained why he accepted the marriage proposal from Richard's father. After being betrayed by Richard's mother, Richard's father feared that if Selena gained control, disaster could befall Richard. To protect his son, Richard's father chose Ana to be Richard’s wife when they were children and conveyed this wish to Richard's grandmother. I didn’t mention the letter Ana received from her father because she never asked Richard for it. She placed complete trust in him and her father's decision for her to marry Richard. She believed that if anything serious were me

    ****** Ana spotted her mother in the crowd, her heart clenching with a mix of emotions. Despite the hurt and anger she felt towards her mother and those who had wronged her in the past, there was a part of Ana that longed for reconciliation, for a chance to mend the broken relationships. "You're late, the party started long ago," Ana said, her tone tinged with a hint of reproach. Her mother turned to her, her eyes filled with warmth and regret. "I know, Ana, and I'm sorry. But seeing you now, looking so beautiful and radiant, I couldn't help but be filled with pride and joy. You're glowing like a new bride, my dear. I want to give you all my blessings and wishes, and I pray that God, if there is one, will shower you with happiness for the rest of your life." Ana felt a lump form in her throat as her mother enveloped her in a warm embrace. It had been so long since they had shared such a moment, since Ana had felt the comforting embrace of her mother's arms and the familiar scent th

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Selena's confession

    ***** The party began with a flurry of guests and media personnel, all abuzz with the shocking revelation that Richard Hill had been secretly married for years. The news was a stark contrast to his highly publicized engagement with Miss Emilia, which turned out to be a complete hoax. "Mr. Hill, this is quite the surprise!" a reporter exclaimed, approaching Richard, who stood among his friends, holding a glass of whiskey. He looked every bit the charismatic figure, exuding an almost godlike presence. Richard smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, I suppose I’ve always had a knack for surprises." The reporter leaned in, eager for more details. "I believe there will be many wedding photos you would love to share with us. How did you manage to keep your marriage a secret for so long?" Richard chuckled softly. "It wasn't easy, I assure you. But sometimes, the most important things in life are worth the extra effort to keep private. My wife and I valued our privacy above all

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   The party

    *****One month later; There was a grand celebration at Hill Mansion, where Richard used to live. Grandmother had already arranged the event for Richard and Ana, so they couldn't cancel the party despite their initial plans. Richard had been bedridden for a month, resting. When he finally decided to take a vacation, Grandmother's request delayed their departure by a couple of days."Ana, what is taking you so long to pick a dress for the party?" Phoebe asked, clearly stressed. Ana's indifference and laid-back attitude about the event were getting on her nerves."This dress makes me feel like a billionaire," Ana grumbled, flopping onto the bed. "It's too much. I prefer a low-profile look."Phoebe sighed, exasperated. "Ana, this isn't just any party. Grandmother has called the media to announce your marriage. Can't you make an exception just this once?"Ana looked thoughtful for a moment before responding. "I know, Phoebe. I just don't want to stand out too much. But for Richard, I'll

    ****** "Are you alright?" Sonia asked Mason, who had just undergone surgery to remove a bullet from his arm. Despite his critical condition, no one had come to visit him except for Selena. "I don’t need your sympathy," Mason replied coldly. "Knowing about my health won’t gain you anything. You can leave." Sonia frowned, feeling hurt by his harsh words. "Mason, I’m not here to gain anything. I was with you the entire time, talking to the doctors and making sure you were okay." Mason’s expression softened slightly, but he quickly masked it with a scowl. "Why would you do that? I didn’t ask for your help." Sonia took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure. "You didn’t have to ask. I care about you, Mason. I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing while you were fighting for your life." Mason looked away, his jaw tightening. "You shouldn’t care. It only makes things more complicated." Sonia stepped closer, her eyes filled with determination. "Why? Why does it have to be complicat
