It was eight at night when Noah returned to the hotel. It was pitch black in the suite and Gwynn was sitting by the window. The neon lights in the city cast a vivid glow on her cheeks, adding a layer of isolation to her otherwise exquisite cheeks.“Why didn’t you turn on the lights?” He flipped the switch and lights came on in the suite. Then, he noticed a glint in the corner of her eyes. She had probably been crying earlier. He stared at her for a brief moment before walking over to the couch and sitting down. Taking off his overcoat, he asked leisurely, “Are you still mad over what happened yesterday? Did you have dinner yet?” “Yeah,” she responded briefly. Truth be told, he didn’t quite believe her. However, his episode with Sariyah added another layer of resentment between them. So, he wasn’t exactly as patient and loving with her as he was before.So be it! She wasn’t a fool! She would eat something when she was hungry!Noah had buried himself in work for the whole da
At the next moment, Noah mercilessly thrust into the deepest part of her.Gwynn’s eyes widened in dismay.Her fair, delicate palms lay flat against the cold glass as she took in the sight of the numerous neon lights in the city. The view was nothing short of beautiful. On the contrary, she was as mortified as she could be. He continued to slam his manhood into her from behind, humiliating her callously.Was this the Noah she knew? Was this really the man she used to love? Back when they had just met each other, he didn't even dare to touch her fingers. Now, however, he was pinning her against the hotel window, showcasing her fair, naked body for the world to see, as if she was some common whore!“Noah…“No… Stop…”Then, she coughed. Streaks of blood smudged the transparent glass. She kept calling out to him. That was the only way she could prevent herself from passing out when he thrust violently into her, subjecting her to excruciating pain. However, she wasn’t really calli
Noah was brutal with her earlier. Their bodily fluids were everywhere on the couch and the carpet. There was even a smudge of blood on the huge window, but he didn’t notice it. All he cared about earlier was satisfying his twisted desires. He didn’t care about the fact that she was literally dying!He didn’t return to the hotel that night. Gwynn curled up on the cold bed, watching the moonlight out the window. She was counting down her life to the day she would die. Now that she had chosen to spend the twilight of her life with Noah, she just might die sooner rather than later. Perhaps it’d only take her six months to die. In fact, it was more likely that she only had three months before she left this world for good. Then, her mind traveled to her son, Lorian…That was right. She had to think about her baby boy, too!Once she went back to Brookesville, she’d have to buy baby clothes for her baby boy. Actually, she’d have to buy clothes for him all the way up to when he becam
Painkillers!That was right. She had to get painkillers!…It was the middle of the night and it was cold out on the streets in Silvercrest. Gwynn wore a coat, but she was still shivering from the biting chill. She knew she felt that way because of her condition. She wasn’t this susceptible to cold before. There were all sorts of pharmacies in the city. She entered one that was open for twenty-four hours. The pharmacy was brightly lit and she walked in and asked for some painkillers with the store assistant. She spoke in the Silvercrestian accent, not even lifting her head. “I can’t sell you any medicine unless you have the prescription from the doctor!”At the next moment, she took out a wad of cash and smacked them on the counter. There was twenty thousand dollars in there. The store assistant was stunned. She checked left and right before she picked up the stack of notes and put them into a currency detector. A whirring sound could be heard as the device verified the aut
He gripped her arm so hard that he hurt her. Gwynn watched as the female celebrity left. After a brief moment, she said softly, “I’m not mad! After all, I don’t have the right to be mad, do I?”That irritated Noah a little. At that moment, a blast of wind rushed at them, making her cough involuntarily. He noticed that she hadn’t dressed nearly enough to beat back the cold. Frowning, he said, “What you are doing out here all alone at this time of night?”Sweeping his eyes across the street, he asked, “Are you here to buy some medicine?”Her heart skipped a beat. She was worried that he might’ve checked her pouch, so she responded vaguely, “Yeah! I’m having my period and it’s hurting a little.”It looked like Noah bought her story. Then, he asked her to get in the car. Flat out of options, she did as he told. It was warm in there, but the odor of the female celebrity’s perfume lingered in the car. It made her feel nauseous, but she did her best to bear with it. She didn’t w
Frowning, Noah wrapped up his phone conversation and hung up. There was some leftover packaging on the bar counter. Picking them up, he read the name on it and recognized that these medicines were prescribed from the hospital. Raising his eyes, he looked at Gwynn and asked, “How did you get your hands on this? Also, you’ve never had any menstrual cramps in the past. Why is it so serious this time?”Her heart was pounding. Gulping, she said gently, “They wouldn’t give me the prescription at first. I had to slip the old lady two hundred dollars to get it!” She paused for a while and added, “I have no idea. The cramps just came this time.”Fiddling with the pills absentmindedly, he grumbled, “This pill isn’t good for your stomach. Don’t take too much of them!”Now that she had finally tricked him, she felt a weight being lifted from her shoulder. …The next day, they took a flight back to Brookesville.It was noon when the black limousine pulled into the luxurious villa. Glad
Gwynn told Gladys that she and Noah were married again. This particular news struck the old servant like a ferocious thunderclap, shocking her to the core. It took her a long time to process what she had just heard. Then, she came back to her senses and said, “You’re not thinking straight, Ms. Gwynn! It’s fine for you to live in the same place with him. After all, you’re free to leave this hellhole as soon as he has grown tired of you.“Now, however, there’s a marriage legally binding you to him. How are you supposed to leave now?”Gladys was really heartbroken to hear this news. She even wiped her tears. Smiling bitterly, Gwynn responded, “I’m glad you also think marrying him is the same as jumping back into a hellhole. Tell me, Gladys. If what both of us think is true, then why are there still so many ladies trying to get into his pants?”The old servant responded quickly, “That’s because they don’t love him at all. They’re only after his wealth or his body! It’s different f
Previously, neither of them could chat with each other freely because they were in a prison’s visiting room. It was something they came to regret. However, no one could interrupt them from reuniting with each other now.They had always relied on each other ever since they were young. Burying her face on his chest, she said with a sob, “Why have you never told me, Liam? You should let me know about everything!”If only he had told her, maybe he wouldn’t be living in regret now. After all, he loved Zoe so much! She knew her brother was feeling nothing but sorrow now. Revenge might’ve tasted sweet at first, but it was nothing compared to living out the rest of his life alone!She couldn’t care less about the family feud. In fact, she didn’t care how her father died. He wasn’t exactly a good man, to begin with. All she cared about was that Liam was happy. She wanted her brother to stay with her forever and ever.She wanted to cry her heart out while he held her…Liam brushed
