"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.

The moment the alarm went off, Selena, Helena, and every servant in the house awoke.

Everyone hurried to the main door as security personnel with firearms entered the hall.

Selena yelled, "Is a thief in the house? What's going on?"

"Sis," Blood was streaming down the side of Jerry's face as he neared the hall, causing Selena to shout as she hurried over to Jerry and gasped, "Oh my goodness! How did this occur, Jerry? Dial the doctor right now!"

"That bitch, sister. She hit me with the wooden lamp stand and then ran away. Kill that bitch tonight. No one cares about her life," Jerry shouted. Selena clenched her fist sharply looked at the guard, and said with gleaming eyes, "Make sure that after killing her, you dispose of her body in a remote area to prevent anyone from ever finding it."

The guards nodded, but then their faces contorted in response to a particular smell, and they whispered to themselves, "What is this strange smell?"

"The smell is thick!" Selena yelled holding her nose.

"It has a cooking gas odor," Jerry answered without thinking. It was then that Anastasia came out of the kitchen holding a lighter and a knife.

Her face was dark and her eyes were dead as she made her way to the front door, passing the maids who were accustomed to tormenting her, however presently they were frightened of Ana because she oozed a lethal aura. As a result, they had taken their steps away from her path.

"Cunt, you are going to die today,” Jerry bellowed at Ana, then looked at the guards, “Grab her!" Jerry ordered the guards, but before he could finish, Ana yelled, "The gas has blanketed the entire mansion, and this object in my palm is called a lighter. My finger can move on it faster than your dream of catching me, and if I do, this entire house will be "Boom." We will die together. So make a sensible choice. You can either come to me or you may save your miserable lives."

Anastasia came to a standstill in front of Selena, who swallowed slightly and stared at the lighter in Anastasia's fingers. She had realized by this point that Ana's words were correct. Cooking gas had spread throughout the home, and no windows were open. As a result, if Ana lighted this lighter, everyone would die in tandem. Accordingly, she shuddered from within.

"You stupid girl, don't do this. You too will perish." With a warning, Selena retreated from Anastasia while clenching her teeth. In addition, Ana's current appearance made it obvious that she had lost her equilibrium and that it would be simpler for her to carry out any foolish action.

"I agree, Selena, but it is also true I am looking forward to enjoying all of you burning alive in my hands tonight," Ana said with a smile as her finger pressed a little on the lighter, causing Selena to yelp in fear, "Stop!"

Anastasia withdrew her finger and continued, "Fear not—this is not the night that will write the conclusion of your tale. Rather, Selena, I will come again, and I will force you to calculate the suffering you cause me,"

The chilly smile did not leave Ana's lips, displaying that she was itching for vengeance—not only against these individuals but against everyone accountable for the situation.

"You can't, bitch; I know," Jerry yelled, going forward to charge Anastasia because he was unable to accept that a young girl had harmed him in this way and that he had fallen short of meeting the Desire that had been coursing through his veins for a long time.

"Try me, Jerry! You and your sister have long killed the fear in me!" Anastasia responded with her chin up, not arrogance, but a powerful intent to destroy them. As a result, Selena extended her hand to Jerry, preventing him from provoking the girl.

Selena's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, trying to mask her fear with an air of power and intimidation. "You can leave tonight," she said, her words ringing through the room. "But don't think you'll be able to hide from us for long. Richard will tear you apart if he finds out what you did to Jerry."

As Selena finished speaking, a tense silence filled the room. Everyone knew that Richard was not someone to be messed with, and Selena's words hung in the air like a warning.

Anastasia huffed a breath as she spoke, her eyes flashing with a cold fury. "Pray for yourself," she hissed, "that I will not return. And if I do, you had better hide in your room, for the destruction I will bring is something you cannot even imagine." Her tone was filled with contempt for those who had taken advantage of her generosity, and she made it clear that she would not hesitate to seek revenge. "Not only you, but your son as well, will feel the consequences of my wrath," she continued. "I will ensure that his life is thrown into chaos, just as he did to me." With those words, Anastasia turned and strode away, leaving behind a stunned and terrified audience.

It was then that Anastasia's gaze found Helena, who was grinning broadly at her, seemingly pleased to see her in this aura. Waving at Anastasia, she silently bid her farewell. Ana avoided staring at Helena for too long because she knew that Helena was the only reason she refrained from setting this house on fire.

Ana held the knife tightly, its sharp edge glinting in the dim light. She had to get past the guards, but they stood frozen, their eyes fixed on her. With a swift movement, Ana brandished the knife, and the guards backed away, making way for her to pass. She stepped out of the house into the cool night air, her heart pounding with excitement and fear. This was it - her chance to escape.

Ana took a deep breath, relishing the feeling of freedom that surrounded her. She had been waiting for this moment for so long. She knew they were after her, and she had to move fast. She decided to spend the night in a nearby town before leaving the country for good. Ana felt a sense of relief wash over her.

The man was sitting in a dimly lit room, focused on his laptop screen, typing away furiously. Suddenly, he heard a hushed voice behind him, causing him to pause his work. He turned around to see his trusted assistant standing there, looking concerned. "Since your phone is off, Mr. Hill, your mother has gotten in touch with me!" the assistant whispered urgently. The man's fingers, which had been typing so hard they almost seemed to be pounding the keyboard, stilled as he took in the news.

“Richard Hill's gruff tone conveyed a sense of suspicion as he asked, "May I know when you acquired this withheld knowledge? And, do you require my gratitude to continue speaking?"

The man standing behind Richard Hill appeared to be hesitant as if he was about to reveal something sensitive. He was well-known to Richard as his reliable and trustworthy right-hand man, who never failed to complete all the challenging tasks assigned to him. However, this time, it seemed like the man was struggling to share the news. Suddenly, he cleared his throat and spoke up, "It's your wife!" There was a brief pause before he repeated himself, emphasizing the words with a sense of uncertainty as if he was unsure whether to disclose the information or not. Meanwhile, Richard was engrossed in his work on the laptop, but his finger froze mid-air upon hearing the mention of Ana's name.

"Your wife fled the house with her boyfriend, and when Mr. Jerry attempted to stop her, she injured his head, and he is currently in the hospital for stitches."

A lengthy period of heavy quiet followed until Richard's voice rang out, but it was a death knell for Ana: "If you see them together any day, shoot them because there is no mercy for betrayal."

"Okay, boss!" the man turned around and left.

Richard Hill's eyes narrowed with coldness as he stared at the computer screen in front of him. Outside, the rain began to fall heavily, accompanied by a loud thunderclap that shook the windows. The night seemed even more melancholic with the sound of raindrops tapping against the glass and the occasional flash of lightning illuminating the room. Despite the somber atmosphere, Richard continued to work diligently, undeterred by the stormy weather.

    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.

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?

    ★★★"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

    *****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

    ****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

    ****"The point is, I am thinking of providing your people a doctor's name in Texas; he is a fantastic dermatologist, and your disease may be treated successfully," Anastasia offered with a soft grin.Richard felt as if Anastasia was seeking a way to brush him off, even though she had realized she could touch him, but was hesitant to treat him. A powerful irritation welled up in his throat as he spat, "I have gone everywhere, but none of them has been able to assist me. Tell me how much money you require."Not again! Anastasia's thoughts shouted as she said, "I am afraid I can not help you with this because I am a neurologist. I sincerely hope that you will not bring up the money again. I do believe you have plenty of money, but it cannot help the fact that I am unable to treat you."Anastasia considered such money-throwing men aggravating as if they believed that possessing money could buy anyone's head. She had met so many of them over the years, and now she truly believed this was a

    ****"You are spot on. Though I have never thought of hiding anything from you, I have also never considered bothering myself by telling you. You are going to remain until I figure out why you are the only woman who can freely touch me," Richard remarked casually, no longer attempting to be kind to Anastasia as he had in the morning. "You wish, sir! I don't work for you, and I clearly have no idea how you forced the dean to ask me to stay, but unfortunately, it won't happen tomorrow or any other day. If someone forces me, I will walk away," Anastasia responded calmly, not removing the grin from her face or giving him the impression that she was pushing herself to be strong in front of him.With a comfortable demeanour, Richard declared, "I murder people." His eyes lingered on Ana, taking in her gorgeous brown eyes and the freckles that dotted her face like beauty spots, giving her the appearance of an exotic flower. As his sight slid down, he saw her cherry-coloured, luscious lips, w

    ****"George!" Emilia yelled. "George, get over here!" Emilia's furious voice echoed across the room. As a result, Richard and Anastasia wake up at the same time. "Miss Emilia, you are making incorrect assumptions." George's voice was hurried as he spoke from behind, and his gaze landed on the clasped hands, demonstrating why Miss Emilia lost her cool as soon as she came in. "I am in no position to hear whether I am making incorrect or correct assumptions. So, who exactly is she? What's she doing in this ward so close to the bed? Are you truly taking care of him?" Emilia yelled at George before shifting her gaze to Anastasia with an angry grimace, displaying her evident urge to drag Ana with her hair. "You have brought another yelling menace. What's wrong with you? Perhaps your employer is in good condition, but that doesn't imply the other wards on this floor are vacant," Anastasia told George, her gaze fixated on Emilia, who was clenching her teeth, perplexing Ana as she tried to

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.

    ****** 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."

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

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

"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

    ******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   The loving morning

    ******It had been two long days since Richard was staying to the emergency room. Following the surgery, Ana had instructed everyone that he needed ample time to rest and recover, so they had purposefully kept him sedated to aid his healing process.On the morning of the third day, Richard's fingers twitched, signaling the first signs of awakening. Slowly, he opened his eyes, the room coming into soft focus around him. As his vision cleared, he noticed an abundance of flowers surrounding his bed, their vibrant colors filling the room.He sat up with a cold expression, immediately sensing something was amiss. Reaching up, his hand brushed the side of his head, where he discovered a significant chunk of hair missing. Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to piece together what had happened.Just then, a nurse entered the room, her cheerful demeanor contrasting with his bewilderment. "Sir, you're awake! We've been expecting this. How are you feeling?" she asked with a bright smile."Wha

    *****"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?

    "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.
