I returned to the bed with my phone after the call ended.James grabbed my phone and threw it on the couch at the side.He wrapped his hands around my waist, and I felt his warm breath on my face and neck.He caressed my waist with his fingers lightly, making me feel ticklish. I instinctively wanted to move away, but he hugged me tighter."Leah, do you know it's highly unethical to answer an unimportant call when you're halfway kissing someone else?" he asked.I had been by James' side for a few days.He said we were about to have a wedding and become husband and wife, so we should get used to intimacy sooner.That was why we would kiss and hug every night before we bid each other goodnight.I had been living an extremely comfortable life ever since I went there. It was drastically different from what I had imagined.James did not seem as violent and heartless as he was rumored to be. On the contrary, he was also extremely good to me and the people around him. We were quickly

Brad's expression did not change after he heard what Sean told him. However, his fingers wrapped tightly around the glass in his hand.Sean was sweating."Mr. Coleman, m—maybe Ms. Young is just acting out of spite," he said."Acting out of spite?" Brad sneered.Sean hung his head, not daring to breathe too loudly.In the next second, Brad kicked the coffee table. All the glasses on it shattered, creating a mess.Everyone else was stunned as they looked at him. There was a pin-drop silence in the room.Brad sneered a couple of times and said, "The audacity that she has. How dare she pull this trick on me? Fine. Let's see how much longer she can hold out before she gives in."Brad looked at Sean calmly and asked, "Where are the things?"Sean bowed lower and answered, "Ms. Spencer saw it a few days ago, so she took them and threw them away. I didn't stop her since she was about to get engaged to you."Brad shot him an icy glance and said, "Great job, Sean."Sean almost went on

Those were the jewelry in the treasure chest he had given to Leah when he pursued her five years ago. Leah treasured every single piece of jewelry in there. Why would Zoe have them?Brad tightened his grip around Zoe's wrist.Zoe was in so much pain that she cried out, "You're hurting me, Brad.""Tell me!" Brad's eyes were filled with anger.Frightened, Zoe replied in a shaking voice, "I took them from the box Leah gave to Mr. Lowe… I thought they were pretty. It would be a pity to throw them away, so I kept them."She was just a college student who still lacked life experience.Brad had given her many expensive jewelry, but they were nothing compared to the ones in the treasure chest.All women in the world would love to make themselves pretty. That was why she got greedy…She did not expect Brad to react so strongly. She could not help but be filled with regret.Brad had never been so angry. He did not think that Leah would return the precious treasure chest.Both of them k

Brad's driver turned the car around and sped toward the Young family's mansion.When he arrived, Walter and his wife, Priscilla Todd, welcomed Brad with big smiles.Brad could not care less about that. He cut straight to the chase and asked, "Where's Leah?"Walter and Priscilla looked at each other.Leah and James had yet to have their wedding, so the Blackwell family ordered Walter and Priscilla to seal their lips. That was why nobody in the capital knew that Leah had long gone to Clason City and was preparing for her wedding.Walter had no choice but to sigh and shake his head. Feeling helpless, he said, "Brad, you should know that you had broken Leah's heart by breaking up with her. You're about to get engaged again, so she got even more upset and went on a trip."She refused to tell us where she went. She switched off her phone as well. I have no idea where she is right now."Brad knew the Young family would not have the guts to lie to him. The Young family was at a low poin

One of the most important people was missing from the engagement party, so it could not go on anymore.Zoe had cried to Brad and caused a scene, but it was futile. Brad never mentioned the engagement again.However, Zoe had fallen head over heels for Brad. He no longer treated her like he used to, but still, she refused to leave.Brad did not get rid of her, but he never again went to Zoe's place.Brad and his parents were invited to James' wedding, so they arrived in Clason City a day before the big day.The wedding was very important to the Coleman family. They hoped they could build a connection with the Blackwell family to escalate their family to a greater height.That was, before the wedding, they continued to hound Brad to get acquainted with James. It would be best if he could become James' friend.James was too powerful. They could not offend him, no matter what.The morning of the following day, the Coleman family arrived at the villa where the wedding would be held.

"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Coleman. But I don't need it," I said."You don't need it? What are you going to do when you embarrass yourself later? Even if you wanted to see me, you could have waited until I returned to the capital. Or did you purposely pick an important event like this to show up in front of me to force me to get back with you?"He still thought it was the old Leah who would never let him go and would do anything to stay by his side.He did not know that I had long severed my years of connections with him deep down."You're overthinking it, Mr. Coleman. I'm not here because of you today," I said.Brad let out a sneer. He did not believe me."Who else are you here for if not me? Leah, I can't believe how stubborn you are right now. You're not familiar with Clason City. Your family has nothing to do with the Blackwell family, either. Other than to see me, what other reasons could you have to come here?" Brad asked.Perhaps the past Leah had made Brad too confid

I felt a little tired after the wedding and snuggled in James' arms.He tucked my hair behind my ear and said, "Take a break if you're tired."I shook my head. "I'm not tired.""Great." He brushed his finger against my lips and said, "We haven't done the most important activity of today."My cheeks started burning.We had been intimate with each other in the past few days, but we had never gone all the way.However…I took a subtle glance at a certain part of him.I wondered if the issues with his legs would affect his other regions.I thought I was being subtle, but James still caught me.He raised his eyebrow and asked, "What's on your mind, Leah?"I felt his warm breath on my face. My eyes started darting around as I was feeling sheepish. "N—nothing," I replied."Is that so?" He leaned closer to me. His voice was husky and charming.As our lips touched, I wrapped my arms around him and got lost in the kiss.That night, James showed me that the issues with his legs did
How Deep Is Your Love Chapter 17
After the Coleman family dragged Brad back to the capital, they had his bodyguard keep an eye on him. He was not allowed to leave the mansion, let alone head to Clason City.In the past few days, they had been taking turns to talk some sense into him, urging him to stop with his obsession. They told him Leah had already married into the Blackwell family. It was already a done deal. If he still refused to let it go, he would only offend the Blackwells. It simply was not worth it.However, Brad heard none of it and said nothing. He also had Sean send the treasure chest to him right away.He had bought every piece of jewelry in the treasure chest for Leah himself.Brad felt like there was a rock on his chest. He felt a sense of dull pain, and he could not even breathe properly.Back then, everyone knew how much he liked and cared about Leah.However, he was lost in temptations after just a few years and forgot how he felt for her initially.There was a card that had turned yellow i

It was my mother's death anniversary again.James and I flew to the capital to visit her grave.She was smiling at me in the photo, just like she did when she was alive.I placed the flowers on her grave and told her about everything that had happened in the past few months.It was after sunset that I reluctantly left.Before I left, I met Brad again at the bottom of the hill.He looked exhausted and a little disheveled.I heard that the Coleman family had utterly given up on him.After all, he was only a trust-fund kid who was addicted to drinking and gambling. He was of no use to his family at all."Leah." He stared at me and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped in his tracks."May I help you, Mr. Coleman?" I looked at him indifferently, but I was sighing deep down.I was reminded of how spirited he was and of the luxurious life he had led.He was always surrounded by people who fawned over him.At that moment, however, he was all alone

I listened to James without saying a word, but I did not stop applying the ointment to his wounds."Leah?"He had to call me a few times before I looked up.I saw my reflection in his clear gaze.James reached out and caressed my cheeks gently and with love.I pushed him away, and my hands shook uncontrollably. "You put yourself in danger. What if they killed you as soon as you fell into their hands? Have you ever thought about that?"He hugged me and pecked my cheek gently. Then, he muttered, "I'm sorry. My only regret was that I didn't think it through and put you in danger. I would never do it again. I'll discuss everything with you in advance from now on, alright?"For some reason, I felt a strong urge to cry. Tears that I was holding back suddenly started rolling down my cheeks.The more gentle he sounded, the harder I cried. It was as if I was trying to dry up a lifetime of tears with this cry.I threw myself into James' arms, grabbing the folds of his shirt with all my

Ten minutes later, there was a commotion outside the door.I held a wooden stick tightly and subconsciously shielded James behind me. I was getting more and more nervous as well.The door opened, and five men walked in. One held a machete, while the other four had baseball bats. Soon, they found James and me hiding in the corner.As soon as the door opened, James put his back against the wall and leaned on me.I knew he was deliberately pretending to be disabled, trying to make those men let their guard down. Therefore, I played along with him.Sure enough, those men started laughing at him. "This crippled man is so useless. Look at him. He can't even stand up. He needs a woman to protect him.""What a loser."The leader stared right at me. He handed his machete to the subordinate and said to James, "You're a cripple, yet you have such a beautiful wife. I'm sure you can do nothing but look at her. Why don't you let us have fun with her instead?"The man extended his hand, tryin

James woke me up.My head still hurt after I barely regained consciousness."Leah, are you feeling better?" he asked.I looked at him in a daze and asked subconsciously, "What about you? Are you hurt anywhere?"I was anxious because he could not move his legs. I started to scan his body from top to bottom.His suit jacket was nowhere to be found. His shirt was messy and had a few buttons missing.His watch was gone. His hair, which had always been neat, was slightly messy."I'm fine. I'm not hurt. Don't worry. I have a tracker on me. Someone will come looking for us in an hour tops. Don't be afraid. I'm here."James was still able to remain calm, even when we were in a situation like that. However, it was without a doubt that his composure soothed my nerves.I forced myself to sit up and observe the surroundings.We were in an abandoned warehouse. It was empty and shabby. There were some small rusty accessories and wooden scraps on the ground.I could hear faint voices outsi

By the time I heard about Walter again, a month had passed.His company, which had long been on the verge of crumbling, had finally closed down half a month ago.Immediately after that, he found out that my stepmother had been sleeping with other men behind his back for a long time.Walter was so angry that he had a stroke. He had no choice but to live out the rest of his life on the bed.Finally, Walter and the Young family could no longer threaten me with disgusting acts.I felt relaxed after I heard about the news.At the same time, James had come home to pick me up for dinner.However, halfway through the drive, I felt something was off. A strange smell in the car made me feel a little nauseated.I frowned and turned to look at James. Simultaneously, he turned and looked at me as well.We immediately understood what we had in mind when we locked eyes.I held my breath and pressed the button to wind the car window down.As expected, the window was locked. There was no way

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. My siblings' school break was coming to an end.During their time in Clason City, James had asked them about their future plans and hired the relevant tutors. Their lessons were jam-packed. It was tiring, but they learned a lot.Before they left, they thanked James in person, giving him a gift each.After I sent my siblings off at the airport, I pushed James to the parking lot and saw Brad there.Brad stood behind a pillar and was wearing a hat. He was a little thinner than the last time I saw him, and he was no longer as spirited as he used to be.As he had stolen a project from James' company, James took revenge on him as soon as he could.The Coleman family's company suffered a terrible loss, and Brad was dismissed.The discord between him and his parents gradually grew more expansive, and they started focusing on their youngest son.However, Brad had brought it onto himself.I did not pity him at all.Brad tried to come closer a

After he took care of matters at the company, we immediately went on a trip. James spent half a month with me on the trip, enjoying ourselves to our hearts' content.Unexpectedly, as soon as we came home from the trip, that particular founding member of the company came to our door, condemning James for being merciless.It did not take long for the younger members of the Blackwell family to persuade him to go home, but I still felt a little uneasy.Thinking of that man's resentful gaze before he left, I felt worried and asked, "Would he seek revenge on you?""Don't worry." James smiled at me to comfort me. "I know what I'm doing."He seemed calm and not worried at all. It was only then I gradually started to feel at ease.On the day of my late mother's death anniversary, James brought me and my siblings back to the capital. He stayed there with me for three more days before we returned home.It so happened that his parents had just returned from their trip and would stay in Clas
How Deep Is Your Love Chapter 23
I received a call from my best friend. She said Brad had stolen a project from the Blackwell family. That was why the Blackwell family's company had a rough time lately.I thought of how James had been working unusually late recently, but I was skeptical.Brad and James were elites among their peers, but Brad's ability was not comparable to James'. On top of that, the Blackwell family was far more powerful than the Coleman family.I did not believe that Brad's actions would impact James.However, I became unsure again after I heard what my best friend said next.Rumour had it that Brad had found a flaw in the operations of the Blackwell family's company. He then used the public's opinion to create a stir, causing the price of the company's shares to be affected.Other than Brad, one of the company's founding members was also at odds with James. He then took the chance to backstab James.I felt like a rock was on my chest after I hung up the call. My chest was not hurting, but my

However, it was already midnight, yet James still had not returned.I texted him.James quickly called me and said he would not be coming home that night because something had come up at the company.I forced myself to hold back my disappointment and told him to take care of himself and not to overdo it.After I hung up the call, I looked at the two dolls I just brought home.James had spent most of his time working from home in the past few months. He would rush home before eight at night even if he had gone to the office.I had gotten used to having him around. It felt strange to have him suddenly spend the night at the office.I lay on the big, empty bed, but I could not sleep. I then got up and went to the studio. I planned to kill time by painting.I sat quietly before the canvas and thought about what to draw. As soon as I picked up the brush, I could not stop.It was after sunrise that I put down my brush, and I immediately started to feel sleepy.I put the painting aw
