Colton seemed to be stunned for a moment. Then, he started to explain himself.

"I didn't mean it that way. Let's continue this conversation at home. I'll come and pick you up."

Phoebe's place wasn't too far from where I worked, so after thinking about it for a while, I didn't reject his offer.

He brought a bouquet of roses and came up.

"Gianna, it's Valentine's Day today. Let's go out on a date."

Colton's eyes were bright and full of anticipation, as if he were waiting for me to pat him on the head for a job well done.

However, I glanced at the flowers and immediately took a step back, covering my nose.

"I'm deathly allergic to pollen. But it's not like you care anyway, right?"

During our third year of marriage, Colton realized he'd left behind an important document at work for his meeting, so he called me up and had me bring it to him.

I entered his office and was greeted immediately with a dozen vases of fresh flowers in the room. I couldn't breathe at once. Before I coul

    Colton's arm was bleeding from a cut. However, he couldn't be bothered about it now. He just stumbled forward and asked, "What's wrong, Gi—"As soon as his gaze rested on Darlene's bag on the ground, he immediately froze.He knew that there was nothing he could say that could ever salvage the situation anymore.I took the divorce agreement from my bag and handed it to him."Sign this. I have nothing more to say to you."Colton took a while to finally snap back to his senses. He opened his mouth feebly and spoke in a shaky voice, "C-Can you please forgive me one more time?"His eyes were full of hope, but I shook my head decisively.Colton slumped dejectedly onto a chair and asked with difficulty, "Do you still not believe that I love you?"I've already explained things to Darlene. The kid won't have anything to do with me. After she gives birth to the baby, she'll go abroad with it to take care of it. We won't be seeing each other again."I sighed."Do you still not understan

    Darlene suddenly drew a knife out from her back and thrust it toward me.I wasn't able to get away in time. I was so terrified that I just froze and shut my eyes tightly.Squelch!There was the sound of the blade sinking into flesh, but the expected pain didn't happen.I quickly opened my eyes again and saw that Colton had somehow rushed out from nowhere and shielded me behind him. There was an ugly gash in his lower abdomen as blood continued spilling out."Colton! Are you okay?"Darlene was shocked. She threw the knife away and wanted to run into Colton's arms. However, he shoved her aside and turned around with much difficulty before cradling me."Gianna, are you hurt anywhere?"My mind had gone completely blank. However, tears wouldn't stop gushing from my eyes.The surrounding crowd immediately called the police. When the ambulance came to take Colton away, he reached out toward me with his outstretched arm, trying to hold my hand.I looked at the bloody handprint on my

    Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, three years had gone by just like that.After shifting my focus back to my work, I completed project after project and quickly rose through the ranks. I started as a regular executive and eventually ascended to my current role as department head. The chairman had promised that I would be promoted to deputy CEO if I could secure a project worth at least one million dollars. I was eager for the opportunity to arise.Fate seemed to work in my favor. Shortly after, I was presented with the opportunity to do so.The company I would be dealing with was a multinational company that had its eyes set on our country. They called me up personally and gave me a ludicrous offer. If I managed to secure their business, it would bring massive benefits to me and my company.I was very excited over the next few days. I gave myself a pep talk and prepared to meet with the multinational company's upper management to discuss the contract.The day fin

    It was 2:00 am in the dead of the night. There wasn't a single car to be seen on the road.I walked along the road, shivering and huddling to myself as my lower abdomen stung with excruciating pain. Cold sweat was dripping down my forehead.I thought about the scene I'd just witnessed earlier and couldn't stop my tears from rolling down.I had planned to surprise Colton Skye today by showing up at the airport unannounced to greet him. I wanted to tell him that I was already two months pregnant.We had been married to each other for ten years. His family never liked me because I couldn't give Colton a child, and they often told everyone that I was infertile. They kept blaming me for wasting Colton's best years of his life.I was under a lot of pressure. I had told Colton about it, wanting him to understand what I was going through, but he just seemed vexed as he replied that he hated kids and didn't want to be a father.However, the night before he had to leave for a business trip

    Actually, about a year ago, I had once gotten pregnant by accident.Colton had looked at me with the exact same expression back then.He was very worked up and grabbed me by the arm as he started interrogating me."Gianna, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You're resorting to this to make me yield to your demands and shackle me to you for the rest of my life!"My career is still on the rise, and I need to focus all of my attention on it. That's why you're unhappy, right? You're using this to force me to give up on myself!"I kept shaking my head at his accusations. I was so scared looking at his bloodshot eyes that I couldn't stop myself from crying. I kept trying to defend myself, saying that I had always taken all precautions during intercourse with him.Alas, even though the chances of me getting pregnant despite all our precautionary measures was less than a millionth, fate decided to play games with me. Maybe it was my destiny, after all.Also, Mom knew that Colton's fam

    Colton never responded for a long time.So, the only thing I could do was tell him that I had enough evidence to prove that he was cheating on me. And, if he didn't sign the papers, then I would be bringing him to court.Colton finally called me when I was in the midst of discharging myself from the hospital. He sounded extremely angry on the phone."Gianna, are you nuts? How could you kick up such a huge fuss over such a small thing? How dare you bring up divorce? Are you only going to be satisfied when the whole world revolves around you?"I told you to wait until Darlene gave birth, didn't I? I'd then cut off the relationship with her. What more do you want from me? Why must you force others to do as you wish?"Whatever. I'm going to pick you up in a bit to have dinner with Jett. I'm going to pretend that none of this ever happened."And stop forcing me to do things your way. I really don't know whom to choose between you and Darlene."He wouldn't stop telling me that both Da

    Darlene stumbled backward when she recognized the woman. "Stella? Why are you here?"I smiled faintly and said, "I was the one who invited her, of course! Didn't you want to apologize? Why don't you apologize again and explain things once more with her as a witness?""Gianna! Have you lost your mind?"I ignored Darlene's screaming and pointed at Colton."Mrs. Hunter, this is the man Darlene has been seducing and sleeping with. She's now pregnant with his kid. Congratulations! The Hunter family is going to be welcoming a grandchild very soon!"Darlene's mother-in-law, Stella Rowell, immediately looked at her darkly. She stormed toward Darlene and slapped her squarely in the face."You slut! How dare you cheat on my son like this while still living under our roof?"Colton hurriedly shielded Darlene behind him and explained anxiously, "Mrs. Hunter, you're misunderstanding things. Darlene didn't cheat on anyone! She only wanted a child, so I helped her fulfill her wish!"Darlene

    I grabbed Colton's hand, led him over to Darlene, and pressed his palm against her tummy.I smiled sincerely at them and said in all seriousness, "This is the product of your love for each other. Of course the baby has to grow up surrounded by his parents' loving care. Don't worry about me. I really hope that you both can build a happy family together."And as for the child's last name, I'm sure that it's something that should be decided by the both of you. It's got nothing to do with me."After that, I turned and left.However, just as I'd reached the door to the ward, Colton blocked my way out. His complexion was deathly pale, reminding me of a vampire."Gianna, don't misunderstand. I have no such intentions."I rubbed my temples and said, "Aren't you both a match made in heaven? And you love her to death. It would be better for you both to be together.""But that's not real! I know that I made some rash decisions in the past that must have made you upset, but I didn't mean th
