Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body Chapter 7
Gavin's chest tightened painfully. He couldn't remain rational any longer. So, he finally let out the words that had been buried deep inside him for years.Nancy stared at him for a moment before letting out a laugh that carried a sting of irony. "Would you marry me then, Gavin?""As long as you give me the chance!" Gavin answered instantly. His eyes lit up, though his face stayed serious and steady."Cece, I met you first. I was planning to confess to you back in college... I just didn't get the timing right. But it's not too late. I swear, I'd never hurt you."Nancy retorted, "Really? Hansen broke his promise, so what makes you think you won't?"She grabbed Gavin's wrist and yanked his hand away once again before snapping, "You think you're the picture of loyalty, don't you? But if you really loved me, you would've confessed to me back in college."Let's be real—you chose to weigh the pros and cons more, meaning you care about yourself more than me."That was why Gavin should
Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body Chapter 8
Nancy's mind went completely blank, and it felt like someone had ripped her heart straight out of her chest. The pain was unbearable—sharp, suffocating, and final. Hannah was actually pregnant.Nancy had already suspected this day would come, but seeing it happen still crushed her. She watched as Hansen gently supported Hannah, his eyes filled with worry and fear. Those emotions had never shown up in his eyes before. It was as if he was terrified something might happen to her.Hannah said with a smile, "Hanny, don't be so nervous. I'm not that fragile, you know..."But Hansen immediately snapped, "What do you mean you're not fragile? You're carrying my baby."Hearing that, Hannah's face lit up with a sweet, giddy smile she could not hide. She was just about to say something else when her gaze landed on someone nearby—and her expression instantly changed."Mrs. Holland? What are you doing here?" she asked.Hansen followed her line of sight. There stood Nancy—pale as a ghost. H

Nancy's body swayed slightly, and her face went even paler. When she heard that Hansen had rented out the entire city's fireworks show for Hannah, her mind was instantly dragged back to their wedding night.She remembered Hansen looking at her with adoring eyes as he whispered, "Nance, I finally have you. If my father hadn't told me to keep things low-key, I would've lit up the whole sky with fireworks tonight. But don't worry—I'll make it up to you one day. I'll show you how romantic I can be."And now, the grand gesture he once promised her had been given to Hannah.Nancy's lips curled into a bitter smile, though she did not know whether she was mocking herself or Hansen more.Gavin looked at her. His heart twisted at the sorrow written across her face. "Nance, let him go. I could—""Gavin, I just want to be alone right now, okay?" Nancy cut him off. Her gaze was hollow and detached. Her face was devoid of life or emotion.Gavin felt like something was clamped around his chest

Hansen shot Finn a sharp look. His eyes were filled with nothing but warning.How dare he go behind his back and tell Nancy that he got detained for fighting for Hannah?Finn's face instantly went pale. He shook his head frantically.It wasn't him. Even if someone gave him ten lives, he'd never have dared to tell Nancy about that.Nancy saw his reaction and coldly interrupted, "I just happened to pass by. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have even known that you ended up here because you got into a fight for Ms. Sullivan."So it was true. She wasn't special to Hansen anymore.Maybe Hannah was the one who truly mattered to him now.At that thought, Nancy looked up at Hannah—the delicate, soft-featured woman with that pure, gentle beauty.She had the kind of face that made men want to protect her. If she were a man, she might have liked her too.Hansen, however, didn't buy it. If Finn hadn't told Nancy, how could she have just happened to pass by the police station?"At least come up wi

As Nancy faced the swarm of aggressive reporters, her expression darkened. She pressed her lips into a tight line.Hansen had left with Hannah, leaving her behind to deal with this mess alone.She felt disgusted by him.Finn frowned. He was about to step forward when a calm and refined voice suddenly cut through the commotion."You couldn't get a statement from Hansen or Hannah, so now you're going after Ms. Shaw instead? Are you bullying the easy target?"This time, it wasn't just Finn. Nancy turned around as well. Her gaze landed on Gavin, who was standing casually at the edge of the crowd.The reporters were stunned. It took them a few seconds to register what was happening."That's Gavin Fenwick of Fenwick Group! Since when did he return to the country?"In elite circles, Gavin's name carried as much weight as Hansen's. Both were young, powerful, and ruthless in their respective fields. They were two of the most brilliant rising stars.The reporter whose camera had been sm

Nancy's heart pounded violently. As she turned around, she saw Hansen stepping inside.His face was cold and stormy, but she didn't bother answering him. Instead, she smirked. "Oh, so you sent Hannah home? I was starting to think you forgot this is your home."That mocking tone of hers instantly set him off.Hansen didn't even care what she was trying to erase anymore. His anger flared as he shot back, "And do you still remember this is your home? Do you still consider yourself my wife?"Nancy looked at Hansen, who was being so aggressive, and let out a smile. "I didn't forget. But it looks like you did."Seriously, what was this? The audacity!He was the one running around with someone else, yet now he wanted to act like the victim?Hansen's expression darkened even more. "Do I need to remind you how you came back?"This time, she was truly furious. "What the hell is that supposed to mean? Spell it out!"He was talking like she was the one cheating on him.Hansen's face dark

That meant Nancy was willing to take that final step with him.Before Hansen could fully savor his joy, his phone suddenly rang.He picked up immediately, and Finn's voice came through."Mr. Holland, Mr. Fenwick's visit to the police station had nothing to do with Mrs. Holland. His brother got arrested last night for assault, and Mr. Fenwick was there to bail him out. He just left with him."Hansen's pupils shrank. So Nancy and Gavin had run into each other purely by chance."Got it." Relief flashed across Hansen's face. After he hung up, he turned to Nancy. "I misunderstood you, Nance."Nancy's expression was pure mockery. "Oh? So I wasn't secretly dating Gavin?"Hansen could tell she was furious and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, Nance. You don't realize how Gavin still hasn't given up on you. That's why I panicked. You don't know how much I care about you. I'm terrified of losing you!"By the time he finished speaking, his eyes had turned red, making him look pitiful.

The Holland family had a tradition of gathering for dinner once a month.Hansen felt a twinge of frustration when he realized he had completely forgotten about it.Nancy cast a glance at Hansen. Her heart was filled with nothing but disdain and indifference.Of course, he had forgotten. His attention had been elsewhere.She spoke softly into the phone. "Hansen and I will be there soon."Hansen's affections might have wavered, but Layla had always treated her well."Okay. Be careful on the road," Layla said warmly before hanging up.Hansen quickly grabbed his car keys and cleared his throat. "Nance, let's head back for dinner."Nancy simply nodded and stepped outside.Hansen watched her retreating figure and pressed his lips together.Forget it. He had already tried to smooth things over. Whether she chose to listen or not was up to her.Besides, he had never gone to such lengths to placate Hannah.…On the drive back to Holland Estate, neither Hansen nor Nancy spoke. In th

The night outside had grown darker and heavier. At some point, the sky had turned completely black.Hansen stared at his phone's black screen with an extremely stormy expression. Nancy hadn't contacted him all day!She really was brushing off everything he said like it meant nothing. Or... was she actually planning to divorce him?Sitting on the bed, Hannah watched him silently. Then, she said with reddened eyes and a pitiful tone, "Hanny, maybe we should just let it go."I'm not that fragile. I don't need Ms. Nancy to apologize... Someone like me is used to being treated this way."Hansen's face darkened even more. He stood up abruptly."Things can't be left like this. Nancy nearly caused you to miscarry—everyone saw it! I'm going to bring her here right now and make her apologize. You deserve justice!"As soon as the words left his mouth, Hansen turned and stormed out. Hannah watched him leave, and there was a trace of something unreadable flickering in her eyes.Nancy was cl

"Ahhh! Mrs. Holland pushed Mr. Hansen's companion down the stairs!""Oh my god, is that woman pregnant? Is she having a miscarriage? There's so much blood!"Hansen and Gavin immediately stopped their argument and rushed out. They saw Hannah now surrounded by a crowd. She was lying pale on the ground while a pool of blood spread beneath her.Nancy stood calmly on the second floor and watched everything with cold eyes."Nancy Shaw, what the hell are you doing? How could you do this? This is murder!"Hansen pushed through the crowd. He picked up Hannah, who was on the verge of passing out from the pain, and glared furiously at Nancy.Nancy showed no panic. Hearing Hansen's accusation, she replied indifferently, "It's Nigel's child. Why are you the one so worked up?"Hansen was livid. "You—""Enough arguing! Let's get her to the hospital now!" Nigel interjected urgently.Clenching his jaw, Hansen shot one last furious glare at Nancy before turning and carrying Hannah away.After

Hannah immediately sensed something was wrong and instinctively tugged at Hansen's hand. "Mr. Holland, my stomach—"Before she could finish the word "hurts", Nigel answered truthfully, "Jacob's notorious for being despicable and shameless in the industry. He's got some business sense, but his reputation is terrible. "Why are you asking about him?""Oh? Why am I asking?" Gavin sneered, his gaze shifting to Hansen.Hansen seemed to realize something. His face turned pale as he stared at Nancy while his heart pounded violently. "Cece, Jacob wouldn't dare, right?"Nancy didn't answer directly. Instead, she looked at Hansen. Her clear eyes were filled with nothing but mockery."Does it matter? Weren't you too busy to stay back then?"Hansen's heart raced, and he could no longer hold back. He rushed forward and grabbed Nancy's hand. "Let's go home…"Nancy, however, forcefully shook off his hand and took two steps back. Her expression was now cold and distant."I'm Gavin's date toda

Nancy responded indifferently, "It has been a while since I've dressed like this."Gavin noticed Nancy's low spirits, especially the dark circles under her eyes, and sensed something was wrong. It was clear she and Hansen had argued.Avoiding the topic, Gavin stood up with a smile. "Let's head to the banquet. The traffic might be bad today."An hour later, when Gavin escorted Nancy into the venue, they immediately drew everyone's attention."Oh my, Mr. Fenwick brought a stunning beauty to Mr. Fenwick Senior's birthday banquet. I was planning to introduce my sister to him!""That beauty looks so familiar... Wait, isn't that Mrs. Holland, Nancy Shaw?""Why didn't Mr. Holland bring Mrs. Holland himself? Instead, Mr. Fenwick is the one accompanying her. I get it—Mr. Holland must want to have it all."By the end of their whispers, the group exchanged knowing smiles, their gazes toward Nancy filled with mockery and amusement.Nancy noticed their stares and slightly furrowed her brows

Hannah wore a look of wounded innocence. "Hanny, you left your phone at home... I was scared you might lose control and do something to Ms. Nancy…"Hansen froze for a moment. Nancy's pale, devastated face flashed through his mind again, and a sharp, relentless pain clawed at his chest.Hannah gently took Hansen's hand in hers. "Hanny, you love Ms. Nancy so much. She's just confused right now. She'll come back to you one day. I'm sure of it."Hansen's expression darkened once more. He abruptly raised his head and stared at Hannah. Hannah threw her arms around him with red-rimmed eyes."Hanny, you and Ms. Nancy just have too many misunderstandings. Why don't I go talk to her? We're both women—maybe I can speak her language... mmm!"Her words were cut off mid-sentence. She hadn't expected Hansen to kiss her so suddenly, but she quickly gave in as she tilted her head to accept his rough kiss.Just then, her eyes flicked upward toward the second floor. She could see Nancy watching fro

Hansen yanked off the coat covering Nancy and saw that two buttons on her white blouse had popped open. Even the shoulder of her shirt was torn.Furious, Hansen grabbed Nancy by the throat. "Nancy Shaw, you slut! All I asked was for you to sign the contract, and you actually dared to seduce Gavin behind my back?"If I hadn't sent a detective to follow you, I wouldn't have known you were cheating on me!"Nancy's breathing grew labored, and her face turned pale and then purplish. She listened to Hansen's words and sneered. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"He had left her with a scumbag like Jacob just to go looking for Hannah!Hansen clearly misunderstood. He never expected Nancy to admit to it.All reason left him, especially he thought of the photos of Nancy and Gavin embracing, with Nancy disheveled and wearing Gavin's coat.Hansen slammed Nancy down onto the couch and began tearing at her blouse. "You slut! You won't let me touch you, but it's alright for Gavin?"Are you

Hannah's expression froze on her face. In the next second, she saw Hansen giving her a sharp glare."Am I wrong?" he asked. "You're not dreaming of the possibility that I'll marry you because of the child, right?"At the end of his speech, his tone was ice cold.She instantly became nervous. "No, that's not what I was implying… I won't forget the agreement between us, Mr. Holland."He wanted her to bear his child, and he would then ensure that she became a hit in the entertainment industry."Good," he said, after which he promptly shifted her onto the couch and stood up."You sprained your foot, so you should take good care of your body for now, and you can return to acting once you've given birth," he said in a commanding tone.Anyone could tell that he was not joking.If not for the fact that Nancy was unwilling to let him lay a hand on her, he would not have found himself another woman to bear his child.Seeing as he was about to leave, she grabbed his hand and raised her h
Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body Chapter 23
Almost at the same time that Nancy found herself being embraced, a fist went flying toward Jacob before he could even make sense of the situation.He yelped in pain and took two steps back, then collapsed embarrassingly to the floor. He immediately started cursing loudly."Damn it! Who ruined my—M-Mr. Fenwick!"Seeing Gavin holding Nancy in his arms gave Jacob such a fright that he sobered up immediately.Gavin recalled how he had been passing by when he heard voices coming from inside the room. He had opened the door to find that it was indeed Nancy, but he had also seen Jacob attempting to tear off her top and saying outrageous things to her.He took off his coat and draped it around her shoulders. When he took in her pale face, he felt his heart clench in distress and reached out to pat her head."Don't be afraid. I'm here. You can leave this matter to me and step out first," he said reassuringly.He then strode toward Jacob, who looked fearfully at his menacing figure. Gavin
Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body Chapter 22
Nancy's expression darkened instantly. As she looked at Jacob, who had a look in his eyes that gave her the creeps, she felt nothing but bitterness.That bastard, Hansen!He actually left her behind to sign the contract with a shady person like Jacob in order to meet with Hannah!Was Hannah that important to him?She walked over to retrieve her bag with a cold expression on her face. However, Jacob grabbed her slender wrist.His eyes were filled with greed as he took a whiff of her natural fragrance. "What's the meaning of this, Mrs. Holland? You aren't planning to take your bag and leave, are you? Mr. Holland left the signing of the contract to you, you know."Feeling the warmth of the touch on her wrist, she shook him off in disgust.With a sour expression, she asked, "Did you drink too much, Mr. Sumners? Or do you need me to call Hansen over right now to sign the contract with you?"At the end of the day, she was still Hansen's wife in name, but this bastard still dared to m
