2024-10-29 19:42:56Percival didn’t ask any more questions. He already knew the specifics of where they met and how from his therapist.
Eulalia’s reluctance to bring it up was a good thing, he thought. He was afraid that talking about it might trigger something for her.
“Eulalia, my memory isn’t the best, and I’ve forgotten a lot from the past. But I promise to treat you well from now on. Let’s not keep looking back, okay? Let the past be the past...”
“What right do you have to talk to me about the future, Percival? Some things can’t just be brushed off with a simple ‘let it go’!”
If people could just say ‘let it go’ and everything would be fine, what would be the point of laws? Percival was the last person who had the right to say that.
She was grateful for their encounter sixteen years ago, but now she regretted it too. She didn’t understand why loving someone had to be this pa

Percival’s way of comforting people is like how you’d soothe a kitten or a puppy. To him, Eulalia’s furious outbursts are as harmless as a puff of air.“Who’s making a fuss with you?”“Alright, alright, you’re not fussing. Let’s eat. If you don’t want the candied hawthorns, fine, I won’t buy them for you anymore.” He had thought Eulalia really liked them.---Percival didn’t insist on taking Eulalia to a movie. Seeing that she wasn’t feeling great after dinner and seemed sleepy, he just took her home.As soon as they got in the car, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. Her drowsiness was a side effect of the medication prescribed by her psychiatrist. Taking too much of it wasn’t good for her health, but without it, she couldn’t manage her condition. It’s a catch-22; the medicine is a necessary evil that she has to gradually reduce.She didn’t wake up even when they got home. Percival was about to carry her inside when his fingers barely touched her waist, and she woke up.
Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead A Moment of Awe
“What’s so great about Percival, huh? A few kind words and he’s suddenly a great guy? Not divorcing her means he loves her? Does she even care for such things?”Eulalia abruptly stood up, her aura icy and intimidating, making it hard for anyone to breathe freely.“You haven’t been through what I’ve been through, so you think he’s a good guy, huh?” She was still young, easily fooled by appearances.At this moment, Eulalia seemed to forget that she was only 24. Yet, in just four short years, she felt like she’d lived a lifetime, tasting all the flavors life had to offer.“If he was as great as you think, my life wouldn’t be this hard.”Don’t preach to others if you haven’t suffered yourself.Did Percival think that by having Zephyra, an outsider, speak well of him, all would be forgiven?Eulalia turned on the faucet to wash her hands. There’s

"Eulalia is so stunning,” Zephyra exclaimed.Yeah, Eulalia is drop-dead gorgeous, the kind that makes women gasp and men go crazy. And this Eulalia? He wants to keep her all to himself, hidden away at home for his eyes only.Percival’s possessiveness kicked in. He didn’t want to share Eulalia with anyone, not even Zephyra, who was already in their home.As Eulalia approached, Percival suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap. The sudden intimacy made Eulalia uncomfortable. She struggled a bit, but Percival’s grip on her waist was like a shackle.Her face flushed, a stray lock of hair falling across her forehead, adding a touch of allure.Resting his chin on her rounded shoulder, Percival murmured, “I wish I could lock you up and keep you hidden forever. I don’t want anyone else to see you.”He wasn’t just saying it; he really meant it. If it weren’t for Eulalia’s health condition, he’d actually do it—keep her “locked up” at home, pampering and teasing her.He could see he

He had spent 143 million on a piece of land to build an amusement park. All told, it was going to cost no less than 300million. All this effort and time, just to entertain his wife."This guy sure knew how to spoil his wife,” they said.“A match made in heaven.”“If I had been Eulalia, I probably would have fainted from happiness by then. When would I ever meet a guy like that?”Eulalia had no idea how she was being talked about at that moment. If she had, she would have just scoffed. ‘You should be thankful you’re not me,’ she would think.Diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer, her family shattered, treated like an inflatable doll—she had been living a life that was neither human nor ghost. And people envied her?Eulalia hated interviews and was terrified of camera flashes. Her already pale face had turned almost translucent under the lights. She squinted and hid behind Percival. This moment was captured and posted online as her being “shy.”Percival dealt with the reporters while

In a luxury restaurant, a single meal could easily cost tens of thousands. The dinner Percival treated her to was at least 50,000.Back when the Clearwater Corporation was still around, Benedict had no job and relied on his shares for pocket money, or he’d ask her for some.Now that the Clearwater Corporation was gone, it was surprising to see him in a place like this. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be doing quite well these past few months.Upon seeing him, Eulalia instinctively opened her mouth to call him “brother,” but the word got stuck in her throat, like a sharp stone lodged there.Benedict was affectionately hugging a woman, and it was clear they were more than just friends.Seemingly sensing her gaze, Benedict looked up and his eyes flashed with surprise, followed by a mix of hatred and impatience.Benedict whispered something to the woman in his arms, who then looked at Eulalia disdainfully.Eulalia knew they couldn’t be saying anything good about her. Just as she w

Eulalia walked up to Benedict, her face a chilling blend of indifference and coldness. "Benedict, you say I'm the one who killed Dad. You think you can just shove the blame onto me and wash your hands of it? If you had half a brain, you'd have kept an eye on Dad instead of letting him sign that contract. He'd still be alive, and the Clearwater family wouldn't be ruined."Blame-shifting, huh? Words can be like knives, cutting so deep they draw blood.Benedict recoiled from her gaze, instinctively stepping back. His heart pounded with a mix of fear and agitation, like a beast stuck in the mud, struggling in vain.The woman holding his hand felt his trembling. Facing Eulalia's icy questions, she too felt a sense of fear, relying on the man beside her for comfort. Now that she knew Benedict was also afraid, she felt a strong sense of disappointment. "What a useless man, scared of his own sister."She squeezed Benedict's arm tightly. "She's just shifting the blame, twisting the facts."The

Three months before the Clearwater Corporation faced its crisis, its stock was already plummeting. Eulalia had foreseen this outcome but was too afraid to admit it to herself, choosing to ignore it time and again.For four years, she thought she had grasped the delusion of a lifetime, but it was Percival who had been using her all along. He took her blood, her resources, and meticulously swallowed up the Clearwater Corporation.Thinking about the irony of it all, she couldn’t decide if he was heartless or if she was just foolish.“When I first took over the family business, the old shareholders lectured me. They said I was too blunt, too headstrong, and that I’d offend people. I listened but never changed,” Eulalia said, taking a heavy breath. “I regret it now.”Percival picked up on her words, “Regret what?”“Regret being too stubborn, not being flexible enough, and basically screwing myself ov

Eulalia opened her eyes to the orange glow of the ceiling light, her foggy mind slowly filling with thoughts.She couldn’t say no to Percival. First, she didn’t have the physical strength to resist him. Second, she was afraid of upsetting him and losing her job.When she thought about it, she felt like she was getting by on nepotism in her career.Eulalia pushed against Percival’s strong chest. “I don’t want to take the pill.”Percival held her hair back, his intoxicated mind gaining a moment of clarity. “You really don’t want to have my child, huh?”Eulalia turned her head to avoid his warm breath. “Don’t play dumb.” She’d have to be out of her mind to agree to bear a child for this awful couple. She didn’t know where Percival got the audacity to even ask her that.Eulalia wasn’t fully recovered yet; she couldn’t possibly get pregnant now.

Eulalia gently stroked the singed fur of the ragdoll cat, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her gray eyes were filled with moisture, stinging painfully.Her eyes were either unable to cry or unable to stop once they started. Now they seemed almost blind with grief.

As much as she wanted to block out the world, cruel voices kept invading Eulalia's ears. Misty wasn't just a cat; she had saved Eulalia's life. They had promised to be together forever. Misty was family, a lifeline in her darkest moments, a light in the shadows.Eulalia's voice was hoarse, her tear-choked words barely intelligible as she called out "Misty" over and over. The pain in her chest was unbearable, desperately needing something to fill the void.

Eulalia's hands trembled as she reached out to touch Misty's wounded body. Her hands came away bloody. Ropes had cut deeply into Misty's limbs, and blood covered the cat's body, tail, paws, and head."Misty..." Eulalia's eyes were terrifyingly red, dry from the intensity of her grief. The pain was so extreme she couldn't even cry.In a daze, Eulalia somehow managed to untie the ropes binding Misty. All she could see were the burn wounds on Misty's skin and the blood oozing from four small punctures in the cat's mouth. Misty's sharpest fangs had been viciously pulled out. How much agony had Misty endured?"Misty, I'm here now. Look at me. Didn't we promise to always be together?" Eulalia's body shook as she cradled the bloodied cat. "I'll cancel all my work... I'll stay by your side from now on. I'll never leave you with anyone else again.

Barry noticed the collar around the cat's neck and tried to cut it off with a knife, but it wouldn't budge. Frustrated, she gave up—she couldn’t waste time on a collar.Gripping the cat's jaw, she forced its mouth open, grabbing its sharp teeth with pliers. "You want to bite me? I’ll pull out every last tooth and see if you try that again."Misty trembled, lying helpless on the ground, bound and unable to move. After all, it was just a cat—no way to beg for mercy.Barry's eyes darkened, and with a sharp tug, a sickening crack rang out, like bones being torn from flesh. Misty's scream filled the air."Meow..." Blood spilled from the cat's mouth, staining its once-pristine fur. Misty lay there, defeated, and in that moment, all it could think about was Eulalia."I just wanted to spend more time with you... I wanted to see you again…"...After dinner, Eulalia was told to get ready for the next scene. She glanced at the door, feeling uneasy—Jane hadn't returned yet. Eulalia called her, a

Eulalia took the phone Jane handed her and attached the tracking device to Misty’s collar. “Misty's well-behaved; she won't run off.” “I know, but just in case… too many people dislike me. If they can’t get to me, they might target Misty. A tracker at least adds some safety.” Eulalia focused on the device, missing the brief flicker in Jane’s expression. Jane pressed her lips together, hesitating like she wanted to say something, but held back. “All done,” Eulalia returned the phone, noticing Jane still looked tense. She ruffled her hair. “If something’s on your mind, tell me, don’t bottle it up.” “I…” Jane started, then glanced at Misty in her arms, “I’m fine, really.” “Alright, if you say so.” Eulalia could sense something off, but couldn’t quite place it. Maybe Jane had issues at home these past few days. It wasn’t her place to pry if Jane didn’t want to talk.Just then, Reid called, telling Eulalia to get ready for her scenes.

Percival’s heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows at the thought of Eulalia in bed with Victor. It was only 1 a.m. when he glanced at the clock, and he reached under his pillow for the wedding photo of him and Eulalia. In the picture, she smiled cautiously, her dimples soft, eyes gentle. The photo wasn’t big, but he pressed it to his chest alongside the well-worn journal he often read, then lay back down.That night, he didn’t dream. But when he woke, his eyes were damp, his face sticky with tears that left his skin stinging.As a cancer patient, Percival's body was weak, and he often caught colds easily. The open window and a night of cold wind, combined with the emotional breakdown after seeing the picture Victor posted, left him feverish.The housekeeper was the first to notice and rushed to inform Mr. Lee, who promptly called for a doctor.

Eulalia had never seen a post about herself deleted so quickly before.She sat cradling Misty in one arm, absently fingering the tag on the cat's collar. After a few minutes, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number:"Eulalia, I don't want you as a replacement anymore. Stay by my side and I can protect you. Percival is ruthless - if you want a better life, stay far away from that madman."Eulalia frowned as she read the message. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard to reply "Go to hell," but she thought better of it and deleted the draft. There was nothing worth saying to someone like Trent. She blocked the number and set up a custom auto-reply instead.Meanwhile, Trent was anxiously awaiting Eulalia's response. He thought he had made himself clear - surely the small-town girl would get the hint. But after half an hour of silence, doubt crept in. Had she not seen the message? Or was she too afraid to reply?He sent another text:"If you come back to me obediently, I'm will
