"Jack, I am all right! I had left my phone in your car and had no method of contacting you afterwards. Thank God you are uninjured," Ana muttered, massaging Jack's back, his hand tightly wrapped around her as if he was making sure she was all right. Maybe he was still quite terrified after the incident the night before?

"I searched everywhere for you, but I was unable to locate you until Mr. George helped me find you and brought me here. He is the one who saved me last night from that gunfire," Jackson said and pulled out his head from the hug and noticed Ana in a red bathrobe which was far from being hers.

"Oh... This is Mr Richard's," Ana said, catching Jack's gaze on the robe, before continuing, "Hu, last night he was harmed to save me, as a result, my dress was ruined by his blood, thus I used this bathrobe for the night. Now he is alright, how about we leave?" Ana was relieved to see that Jackson was fine and that he had come right on time to pick her up because she just ha

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Emilia raised the issue

    ****"Shh... Babe, they will hear you. That girl is quite helpful to you, and you allow her to sleep on the chair. Besides, she informed me that you did not let her remain in any of the other rooms even though this empty villa had plenty of space for her," Emilia said in a whisper, keeping her eyes on Jackson to see if he picked up on any words from Richard, who was not actually expressing his disapproval through a whisper.Richard furrowed his eyebrows when he discovered Emilia had been fed a falsehood by Ana. That girl did not sleep in the chair, but rather on the bed next to him, hands and legs resting on his body. She, too, touched his thing. But he was not going to lie: viewing her sleeping face was the most satisfying thing he had seen since waking up.Her silky skin and cherry lips had gotten into his thoughts and remained as memories. Her steady breathing slammed on the side of his face, jolting his pores and allowing him to experience what it was like to wake up next to someon

    *****"Yes, I did forget to mention that. Simply put, I was a little distracted," Emilia remarked, gazing at Ana with intense emotions that she struggled to put into words. She was relieved that Richard's illness was treatable, but how could she accept this with a casual demeanour? Ana was a lady who could touch her fiancé, which Emilia found extremely difficult to deal with."It was surprising to me as well Miss Emilia and I have found no way to have the knowledge why I am the exception, however, I do believe soon there will be a way to cure him," Anastasia said urgently before the woman began making various assumption since Emilia thought every woman went crazy seeing her fiancé."Our family will always be grateful to you," Emilia responded politely, acknowledging that there was nothing she could do except accept the situation as it was. With this news about her son, Mrs Selena would be relieved and hopeful that Richard would recover and their marriage could happen as she had always

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   George was on point

    ****"Jack, there is something you may not have known," Ana began unwillingly since she had no intention of implicating Jack."What?" Jack said, slowing down the automobile."Sinni informed me yesterday that there were several thugs that appeared in our flat, and she identified a face from them, which was Marx's man," Ana remarked, her head pounding violently. She was aware that they would not harm her since they had plenty of opportunities to do that in the past. However, it was also true that being observed by people all the time was also unsettling. In her undergraduate years, she had already experienced a great deal of this. All she wanted at the moment was to live a quiet life without anyone recognising her or pursuing her."What? I assumed he had moved on from you." Jack said, his face tight, that he knew how much Ana had suffered at the hands of the guy, how much she had to live in constant terror, and then that she had some respite after they had stopped pursuing her.

    ****"What type of queries are those? Why do I allow her to monopolise my time?" Richard remarked disapprovingly, without looking directly at George, who did not need to be reminded that Richard was firmly opposed to embracing the truth."I considered buying St. Hayden Hospital. Make it happen," Richard said, looking up harshly at George and ordering him in a strong tone, leaving George with little time to process his previous strange comment."Anastasia works there, boss! Other than this, I am not seeing any benefit from purchasing that facility," George expressed his opinions on this issue. "Sometimes, I might not provide you an explanation for my choice, but you still have to obey it. Offer the present owner a delightful sum for the hospital, and also inform him that I want the hospital agreement with Ana to be for a longer duration, more than six months," Richard completed his remarks with a breath that appeared to be lodged in his throat until now."What about Miss Emilia and yo

    *****A businessman and Richard were discussing their next project, which was expected to cost 4.4 million. Despite the fact that Richard was in pain in his arm, he attended the meeting without George, who had gone to deal with the purchasing of St. Hayden Hospital."Health is the most essential thing in the world, in my opinion. Your body needs to relax, and this meeting may take place whenever your health permits," the businessman replied to Richard in a kind manner. There was strong discomfort on Richard's face yet he was adamant about discussing the deal."As a businessman, it is really difficult to locate another businessman who is concerned about my health since it is time for anybody else to profit from my situation. Mr. Hudson, I am very affected by your kind words, but since this seat has been claimed by me, I cannot leave without a result," Richard stated calmly, placing the pen diagonally on the file after thoroughly checking it.Mr. Hudson nodded in agreement before introdu

    *****"What are these?" Ana headed to the breakfast table after taking a bath since she needed to depart for the hospital as soon as possible to check on the patient."It feels like I am wandering through a flower paradise; now someone else delivers you Lilies, and the variety in front of my eyes is hypnotic; I have never seen so many Lilies till today," Sinni said, dipping her nose in a bouquet of lilies as she spoke."Why do you assume this comes from someone else? Perhaps the Mafia has gone wild, delivering Lilies after Roses?" Ana casually commented as she sat at the breakfast table. Though in the morning she had given the breakfast, because of burning lips she could not have anything. So, before going to the hospital, she requested some noodles from Sinni.Furthermore, Sinni prepared nutritious noodles for her when she desired them."One of the bouquets includes a card stating that the individual who sent them is not the same person who sent the roses. I know it sounds weird and

    *****"You compelled him; hmm... one of your intriguing interests, but why am I here? I realize you did business with him, which was profitable for you, but why did I receive a call and learn about all of this?" Ana replied curtly, her eyes searching Richard's brilliant strategy."You were legally confined to this hospital for 6 months, but I extended it to a year here. Also, I want you to be my particular doctor, accompanying me wherever I go or whenever I want your presence," Richard remarked, reclining back with one knee crossed over the others. His face was marked with arrogance, indicating that no matter how hard this girl fought, she would never be able to beat him."What nonsense! Are you high on booze? I have had enough of your crap; if you do not fuck off my life, I will bring hell to yours!" Ana snarled as she placed her luggage and lunch box on an empty chair. Her countenance was angry, as though she was eager to pummel this man into submission, and she got to her feet."I w

    ****Ana was pacing back and forth in her cabin, worrying uncontrollably. After seeing the two patients for some time, she felt as if her head was spinning with too many bizarre ideas about her circumstances at this hospital, making it impossible for her to think clearly. It seemed as if she could not run or sit still and breathe normally."What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into without even intending to? Now, how am I going to get out of this? On one side is the mafia that is pumping my blood and on the other side is this man who, despite being intelligent, is determined to hold me like an idiot," Ana grumbled, feeling like slapping her fortune.The phone on the desk rang at that moment. Ana went up to the desk and picked up,"Yes, Dr Anastasia!""It is nearly evening and I demand your presence with me," the voice on the phone aroused Ana's ire, causing her to clench her fist and breathe heavily as though she was about to exhale fire."

  • 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

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Epilogue

    ****** 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

  • Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Ana blushed

    ******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? This isn't just any operation. This is Richard. Your R

    "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.
