When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa
Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a
Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to
Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said
"You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg
The first autumn shower of the year pitter-pattered against the window of a bar's private room. Inside, a man had Heather Sutton pinned to the couch as he pistoned into her.He was rough with her. After getting past the initial sharp pain and indulgence, all she felt now was soreness. It was as if her body wasn't even hers anymore."Stop, please… Enough…" she moaned wantonly. But how could she put a stop to something like this?The man ignored her. He didn't become any gentler with her, nor did he show any sign of stopping. Waves of heat crashed over Heather and took her from Cloud Nine back to Earth…Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing destroyed the atmosphere. The man stopped abruptly after being interrupted. "Make it stop!"Heather couldn't afford to offend him. She reached out to grab the phone, but it fell to the floor while it was still ringing. She bent down to pick it up, but the man didn't have enough patience for that. He squeezed her waist tightly as he dragged her b
Heather walked out of the bar. She returned the call she'd ignored earlier."Have you gotten the money, Heather?" Macey Zeller's voice was cold as it rang out on the other end of the line."Yes, Mrs. Snyder. I'll transfer it to you right now.""That's great!" Macey's tone immediately warmed. "I can get Whitney out on bail with this sum, but you'll need to think of something for her hospital bill. I don't want to force you into anything, but I've run out of ideas. You can't just stand by and watch us sink, can you?"Heather pursed her lips. "I understand. I'll try to get the money."Two months ago, the renowned Snyder Corporation had gone bankrupt. Several members of the Snyder family had been thrown behind bars.Three days ago, Macey, whose husband was a Snyder, had sought Heather out. Macey had asked Heather to give her a hundred thousand dollars. She wanted to bail her daughter, Whitney Snyder, who had a heart condition, out of jail.Heather couldn't say no. She was a poor stu
Everyone was surprised, but no one dared defy Tyrone. They hurried out of the office and left Tyrone and Heather alone.Tyrone looked down at his documents. He ignored Heather. Though he didn't say anything, the atmosphere was oppressive.Heather didn't know what he meant by this. She watched him hesitantly for a while before deciding to make the first move. "Mr. Elkin, let's just pretend that last night at the Red Rose never happened. I won't tell anyone about it."She figured that as a company's president, Tyrone probably had a huge ego. It would be disgraceful for people to find out about him being a patron of certain services. He'd probably asked her to stay silent over this matter.In truth, Heather was even more reluctant than him to have anyone find out about what happened last night. If she'd known he was her new boss, she wouldn't have stepped into that room last night, no matter how short on cash she'd been.Unbeknownst to Heather, she'd overestimated Tyrone's sense of m
