Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Richard was harsh
*****"You are still as vicious as my younger self had seen," Anastasia spat, her words laced with anger as she tapered her eyes with hatred. "I have never wanted to be the daughter-in-law of your family, but since we haven't finalized the divorce yet, I am disgustingly accepting this title." Though for a moment, the urge to punch this woman's face into a wrecked doll surged within her, Anastasia fought to maintain her composure."You," Selena seethed with fury, her voice trembling with rage as she directed her gaze at Richard, her eyes ablaze with indignation. "Do you not hear her tone and her words? Besides, I feel insulted right in front of you. Why are you not saying anything or at least throwing that woman out of this hospital?" Her words were laced with accusation, her frustration evident as she looked to Richard for a response, expecting him to teach this woman a heavy lesson."You should not have started, Mom! And this is not the place to bring up your family conflict," Richar

*****"Well, honestly, I can't quite tell if you're putting on an act or not. But you did a great job!" Ana said as they arrived at her chamber, with George following closely behind them.Richard paused, his hand gripping the chair he was about to sit on."Acting!?" he echoed.Ana settled into her chair and remarked, "Indeed, that was rather commendable. For a moment, you made me believe just how deeply you care for me. Although you used me as a means to rid yourself of Emilia, I find it rather satisfying, considering not only Emilia's parents but your mother appeared to be in distress."George fixed his gaze on Richard, then shifted it to Anastasia, pondering how she could believe Richard was merely acting."Hmm! It appears you take pleasure in seeing my mother suffer," Richard remarked, his expression cold and impassive. He did not say anything, but Ana's words cut deep into his heart."Suffer! Hah!" Ana chuckled. "Your mother didn't suffer anything; it was just her ego taking a batt

*****"Jerry, why aren't you saying anything!?" Selena exclaimed, her frustration evident as she watched Jerry pacing back and forth in the hall.After their return from the hospital, neither of them had even taken a sip of water, the tension hanging heavy in the air like a suffocating blanket."What do you want me to say? I'm in your shoes right now, and we're stuck in this mess with no way to stop Richard," Jerry exclaimed, frustration dripping from every word as if he begrudged admitting that Richard had seemingly developed feelings for Ana.Selena sighed heavily, her expression mirroring Jerry's frustration. "I know, I know," she replied, her voice tinged with resignation. "But we can't just sit back and let this happen. We've got to find a way to deal with this before it spirals out of control."With a determined glint in his eye, Jerry nodded in agreement, his mind already racing with ideas on how to navigate the precarious situation they found themselves in. "We can't kill her

******The man looked at Sonia coldly but did not refute her, which made Sonia believe he was ready to stop the bleeding from his hand, which was already bandaged. Though she did not have sympathy for him, she feared blood.Sonia rose and made her way to her room before retrieving the medicine box. She then sat back, a little closer to the man. Though her heart was pounding in fear, she couldn't tend to his hand in the same spot where she had sat earlier."Your hand!" Sonia exclaimed, not looking towards the man, as her quivering hand brought out the bandage from the box, in a moment of urgency.The hand stretched out, accompanied by a strong aura that Sonia keenly sensed. She took a silent breath and delicately unwrapped the stained bandage from his hand, ensuring her movements were gentle to avoid causing him any pain."why not you are as beautiful as your sister?" the man displeasingly said.Sonia's hand froze holding the bandage, as a scowl appeared on her forehead. This man not on

*****"Why are you standing there? Come inside!" Richard's grandmother exclaimed, setting down the cards she held. Helena glanced towards the door and her face lit up with a wide smile upon seeing Ana. With warmth in her heart, Ana made her way over to Helena, and they embraced each other tightly. Ana never imagined she would have the chance to see Helena again, and yet here she was, feeling overwhelmed with emotion at the unexpected reunion."You've become so beautiful," Ana remarked as she broke away from the hug."You're a doctor now!" Helena exclaimed with a happy grin, her eyes shining with pride at seeing Ana as a doctor. "Yes," Ana laughed, gently cupping Helena's cheeks in her hands."Well, don't forget about me, girls. I'm the old one here and I need a bit more attention," Richard's grandmother interjected with a playful grin, noticing how her great daughter-in-law and granddaughter were so engrossed in each other, completely ignoring her presence."You've already checked ou

*****As they all sat at the dinner table, Ana was surprisingly quiet. Richard momentarily stole glimpses of his wife; his inner self smirked because he knew what was troubling Ana."Would you like me to peel the prawns?" Richard inquired, a subtle glimmer shining in his eyes.Ana's hand, poised delicately with the spoon, hesitated over her plate as she cast a knowing glance at Richard, her lips parting to utter, "I am fine." Meanwhile, the watchful gazes of Richard's grandmother and Helena lingered upon them. Despite only eating some protein soup, Richard's grandmother insisted on remaining at the table with them."Ana, you shouldn't deny your husband's help, something some wives truly crave all their lives. You can take me as an example; his grandfather never cooked a single dish for me," Richard's grandmother remarked with a chuckle, as she gracefully leaned back in her chair."I do not want it to become a habit," Ana replied, her thoughts resounding within her. She truly feared th
Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Richard's query
*****Later that night, George arrived to pick up Grandmother and Helena, leaving the house with only Richard and Ana. Ana had made up her mind to retreat to another room for the night. However, as she began to gather her belongings to leave, Richard blocked her path, questioning, "Where are you going?""To sleep in another room. Since there are plenty of rooms in the house, why can't we use them?" Ana retorted, her lips twisting with determination. She remained adamant about not staying in the same room with him, no matter how much he might try to persuade her otherwise."Are you kidding? Sleeping with me won't bother your sleep!" Richard retorted, his tone laced with a palpable sense of frustration at Ana's steadfast insistence on sleeping separately."No, I love having my own space; I've been living alone for many years," Ana asserted, her tone carrying a sense of fondness for the solitude she had grown accustomed to."It's different now because you have a husband who needs you in
Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   The horrible news
****As the morning arrived, Ana groaned in her sleep before opening her eyes. As soon as she recognized the new environment, she moved her head sharply at her side to find Richard, but he was not there. Ana unintentionally breathed while resting her cheek on the cushion next to her. The pillow smelled like Richard's, which meant he slept next to her all night, but where he had gone! Ana sat up and gathered all her hair into a bun when she noticed a piece of paper on the lamp table, her brows rose in question. She grabbed it and began reading, "I will be out of town for today so there will be a maid in the house to take care of you. Don't meet men in my absence or I will snatch their life out of their body." Ana rolled her eyes and folded the paper again, but this time she tucked it beneath her pillow before going to the restroom.After twenty minutes, Ana emerged from her room and walked to the kitchen, where she met the maid who Richard had hired before leaving the home. "Madam,

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
Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   Sonia met Mason
****** "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
Dear Husband, I have become Ruthless   The operation
*****"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
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
