Gwynn reached out and felt above the couch. At last, her fingers touched a hard object. It was a painting hung on the wall. Then, she yanked at it with an uncharacteristic strength and pulled it off the wall. It fell squarely on Noah’s forehead at a frightening speed. He stopped what he was doing as crimson blood rolled down his cheeks, giving rise to a horrifying sight. She curled up and looked at him helplessly and fearfully. Her clothes were unkempt. Her jumper was lifted well below her hips, revealing her slender body. Her long pants were also pulled all the way down, hanging erotically by her ankles. Gladys heard the commotion and darted into the study. She let out a sharp cry when she saw the gory sight. “What on earth happened here?! What’s wrong with your forehead, Mr. Noah? Also, your clothes, Ms. Gwynn… Are you getting tortured or something?!”Noah regarded the old servant coldly. She should’ve been an actress. Gladys helped her mistress up and showered her with
Why would Noah have done that if he didn’t love Gwynn from the bottom of his heart?Gianna had made up her mind. She was going to destroy his love life. She was going to put him through hell way worse than the one she was in. She was going to be there to witness his downfall as he tried and failed to win the love of his life. …It was close to New Year at Zutriystein, their country of origin, now. There were a lot of wealthy Zutriysteinians residing in Nihonburg. A lot of them were playing fireworks now, blasting them in the air, filling the entire town with a cacophony of explosions. Be that as it may, Gwynn wouldn’t eat anything. It had been an entire day, but she didn’t put any food or water in her. She had been working on her painting obsessively the whole time, not even bothering with Lorian when he cried. The bedroom door was opened gently. Noah came in with a tray of food. Dressed in a white shirt and light grey pants, he looked absolutely stunning. His forehead had
Noah didn’t deny it. He enunciated each word when he spoke, “That’s right! It’s a threat.”He was waiting for her to make up her mind. Gwynn leaned back on the couch and looked at him in a daze. He had backed her up to a corner now. She used to be head over heels for him, too. Now, however, he had dropped all of his act and was threatening to push her over the edge. She was the one who gave birth to Lorian, but he was about to forbid her from seeing her son if she didn’t bow down to his wishes. How heartless!At that moment, she tasted bile in her throat. She was wrecked on the inside, but she continued to pit herself against him. She wasn’t sure where the surge of courage came from, but she had steeled herself to push back against his assault. “Fine, then! Starve me. For that matter, go ahead and starve Lorian. You’re just using me to take revenge against my brother, anyway. What’s more, the Worshem blood flowed in Lorian’s veins. “So, starve all of us to death if that’s w
It was the usual cigar brand that Noah had smoked. He acquired the relevant company last year and made some changes to their production. Now, they were no longer making cigars. He was staring off into space. Gladys was less than pleased at the sight. Carrying Lorian in her arms, she started telling him about Gwynn. “She hasn’t eaten or drank anything for two whole days now! If you’re going to be so heartless and let her starve to death, then you should take it up a notch and starve your son to death as well.“That’s the only way you’re going to wipe your slate clean and make way for the next mistress to come. No one will ever know you had a wife and a son. You’ll be free to hook in your next victim, be they Gianna or Brianna…”The old servant might’ve spoken harshly, but she was merely heartbroken on Gwynn and Lorian’s behalf. It was only natural that her mistress would get mad after she saw that cursed footage. What she didn’t count on was that her master would get into a piss
Night rolled on and darkness blanketed over the entire sky. Noah snorted. “Do you really think I love you, Gwynn?” Then, he leaned into her ear. His voice was tender, but there was a piercing coldness in his tone. “I just haven’t had enough of your body! Once we were divorced, I realized something. The most beautiful and sensual lady could’ve taken off her clothes right in front of me and it still couldn’t turn me on.“However, the thought of you crying, begging for mercy while you’re on the bed always gives me a rock-hard boner right away. I have to admit that I’m regretting it a little to have divorced you. Then, I was okay with it because being divorced doesn’t mean I can’t have you.“Perhaps we’ll have even wilder sex with the shackles of marriage off. It’s going to make it downright electrifying!” He made the whole thing sound more humiliating than necessary to hurt her. As expected, Gwynn couldn’t stand it. She wanted to shake off him off immediately. The next thing she kne
He had no pity for her. He was still as heartless as ever!How could she be so stupid? Why would she think he’d ever take pity on her? What gave her the idea that he’d take pity on her just because she starved herself to death? He wouldn’t set her free just because of that. She had truly overestimated herself, just as she overestimated his capacity for kindness.He was stripped of any humanity. In fact, he was a monster!Any signs of hope had escaped her eyes. She merely laid on the bed wordlessly. She wasn’t trying to starve herself now, but she didn’t have the appetite either. There was nothing but despair in her life. There was no hope for her now. Her eyes were filled with nothing but tears. She couldn’t see anything that resembled hope.Noah saw that she had woken up and wanted to talk to her. However, he steeled his heart against her as soon as he saw her tears.This wasn’t Dr. Davon’s first rodeo. He, too, was perfectly aware that Noah had a bad temper. He wouldn’t ha
Noah went back to the master bedroom. However, Gwynn still gave him the cold shoulder and was content to live in her own headspace. Perhaps things were nice and mellow in there. No one would make her do things against her will. Noah would never be able to force himself on her there. Her headspace was free of the cold, unfeeling needles of the IV drip as well as the luxurious yet suffocating cage she was currently trapped in.She had lived in this cage for two years now. She just couldn’t understand it. He had carried out his revenge by taking away her precious youth and the very idea of ‘love.’ What more did he want from her?Standing in front of the dresser, he put his phone on it and looked at her quietly. His tone was gentle when he said, “Let’s make a deal, Gwynn!”She was startled. He continued, “Come back to Brookesville with me! I’ll buy you a villa and you can go back to college if that’s what you want. Also, you can set up an upscale gallery. I won’t keep you trappe
The edges of the papers were so sharp that they cut into her tender skin and drew blood. However, Noah was unfazed by the sight. His lips curled up into a cruel smirk. “Go ahead and rip it up! It’s just a duplicate.”Gwynn’s eyes were red as she stared right into his.The fact was, her actions had gotten a load off his mind. They finally had a fallout. Now, none of them needed to keep up the act. He no longer had to play a loving husband and she could also quit acting like a submissive wife. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but at least it was honest. There wasn’t much room for love to bloom in their hearts anyway. After all, he was buried by the crushing hatred. How was it possible for him to love her?So, he stopped trying to negotiate with her. Instead, he went downstairs, looking as elegant as ever. Gladys was carrying Lorian and playing with him when she saw Noah coming down. She darted over and asked, “Is Ms. Gwynn going to eat something now?”Looking at her, he sai
