Noah humiliated Gwynn with his words. She trembled all over. Obviously, he did it on purpose because he wanted to shame her. …Raising her head slightly, she sneered with her trembling lips. “That’s just a physical reaction. I would’ve reached climax even if it was another man sleeping with me. Do you really think I came because I liked it?”“So you're denying it?” Nibbling on her fair ear, he murmured as if they were lovers. At the next moment, he pinned her down on the wooden table. Staring right into her eyes, he raised his hand and disabled the security camera. Then, he proceeded to fondle her supple breasts with his hands. He had slept with so many women. He knew what made them tick. Not even the purest nun could withstand his hands. They would moan with pleasure and embarrassment, unless they were turned off by sex.Her hair band slipped off, allowing her long black hair to fall gently on the crude wooden table. It looked as graceful and lavish as silk. Beads of swea
Noah was lost in a trance. His eyes were actually starting to lose focus. The next thing he knew, tears started to fall.He wasn’t sure if he was regretting his actions. In fact, he didn’t know if he was capable of feeling regret anymore. All he knew was that his life would be meaningless if Gwynn wasn’t a part of it. He used to revel in his revenge, but there was nothing left but pain now. An hour later, he went back to the hospital. The white gauze on his chest was now bloodied. The doctor was redressing his wounds when Kim came in with Holly. The baby girl was wailing because of the strange, unfamiliar environment. Trying to soothe her, Kim said, “It seems like she’s having trouble adapting to Gerlandia! Perhaps we could send her back to Zutriystein. Gladys has been doing a wonderful job with her. She’s the one who raised her to be healthy and made sure she was well-fed. “Take a look at Holly now. She's only been here for less than a week and she’s already lost a lot of w
“I used to have confidence that you’ll bring me nothing but happiness. There was a time when my only wish was for us to spend our whole lives, grow old, and die together. “However, those pipe dreams were just a cruel joke in the light of the cruel reality you put me through. That's not all. What’s worse is that I also didn’t have the strength to push reality back.“You commanded vast power and influence. Also, you’re way stronger than I am. It was made painfully clear to me.“I am nothing before you. “That’s why I hurt myself. It was my last resort. You might deem it too heavy a price to pay and rethink your actions if I’m lucky. If the opposite proves to be true, then I could’ve died for nothing. “I’m aware of all of this, but what choice do I have? It doesn’t matter if I’m dead or alive. I’ve long lost the last shred of my dignity. I have had no control over my own life from the day I met you. I can never make any calls or run away from you.”…She paused briefly before she
Gwynn squirmed as if her life depended on it. She stared at him in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that he would do something this crazy.Resting his lean fingers on her supple lips, he toyed with her body slowly, rousing her lust little by little, until she lost her cool completely and there was nothing but carnal desires left in her mind. He stared at her fair, perky skin.He was obviously aroused, but his voice was as cold as ice. “Let’s make a baby, Gwynn! I’ll get you out of prison as soon as you’re pregnant. Do you love Holly that much? Well, guess what? We’ll make a baby girl of our own. “That way, you will no longer obsess over her. Meanwhile, I’ll give her away to a loving family and give her loads of money.”She continued to squirm with every ounce of strength she had. She fell apart and screamed. Then, she wailed, “You’re out of your mind, Noah!”She was wrong. He wasn’t insane. He was just being his usual ruthless self. It didn’t matter how much she struggled,
The pregnancy test fell on top of the deep-colored bed sheet. Gwynn froze for a long time. Dressed sharply, Noah leaned on the headboard, smoking. His black eyes were fixed on her as he said, “Do you need a hand? I can help you do it.”She took a deep breath in response. She knew better than anyone just how ruthless he was. Instead of fighting him, she took it to the restroom and did what was necessary. She had given birth to Lorian. So, she knew how to do it correctly. About a couple of minutes later, a couple of red lines showed up on the pregnancy test, which she laid down on the sink. She was pregnant!Although she was prepared for this moment, it didn’t stop her from being dazed by the revelation. She hated Noah to the core, but she was pregnant with his baby yet again. How was she supposed to live with this?The door swung open. The moment he stepped into the restroom, it seemed as if he filled the entire space because of how tall and burly he was. It was hard fo
After a brief moment, Noah gripped her hand and held it gently. “I bought an apartment here! We’ll be staying in Gerlandia until the baby’s born. Then, we’ll take a flight back to Zutriystein. If you’d prefer to live in a villa, I’ll ask Kim to search for some options, but it will take a while.”It was clear as day. Noah was staying back in Gerlandia because of Gianna. Gwynn was very curious. Just what did he do to Gianna for him to owe her this much? For crying out loud, he was tolerating someone who almost killed his son. Her fingers curled at the thought. An hour later, the black limousine pulled over in front of an apartment. He got out of the car first. Then, he helped her get out of it like a gentleman. However, Gwynn wasn’t interested in his seemingly thoughtful gesture. She said dryly, “This doesn't make up for it.”He felt somewhat discouraged. Be that as it may, he wanted to make her happy. So, he didn’t say anything about it. They took the elevator to the third f
Noah didn’t answer her call. Hanging up on it, he rolled over and lay down before he said casually, “That’s Kim! She’s getting more and more ignorant. She knew that you’d just come back from the prison.”Gwynn thought to herself how women turned into skillful detectives when their husbands became compulsive liars about the affairs they were having.With that said, she didn’t expose him. Instead, she said softly, “You should go. You can’t just put work aside!”What she said gave him an out. On top of that, he probably cared about Gianna very much because the warm and loving moment they were just sharing a second ago vanished into thin air immediately. He was probably feeling guilty too. Coughing lightly, he said, “I’m going to make a phone call in the study.”She smiled faintly in response.Just as he left, she rose and straightened up herself. Then, she opened the door and walked into the living room. The servant was feeding Holly formula. That was when Gwynn recognized th
Gwynn stopped him. Putting the baby back in her arms, she shook the milk bottle gently and soothed Holly. She said to Noah, “Holly’s not a house cat, how can you pick her up like this?!”He didn’t really care about it. He was about to retort when she raised her eyes and gave him a sidelong glance. He looked at her underneath the ceiling light. She wore nothing but a silk sleeping gown. Naturally, that was a seductive sight. Moreover, she was pregnant. That meant her breasts were more ample than usual. Then, he decided he’d say nothing. Brushing his hands against the baby girl’s cheeks, he said uneasily, “To be honest, she looks adorable now that I’ve spent some time with her! It’s just annoying when she cries.”She didn’t bother to respond to him. If it was any other lady, he would’ve given up on winning her heart. However, Gwynn giving him the cold shoulder made him fall for her even harder. He would give her anything just to see her flash a smile at him. With a baby in
In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d
That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.
On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile
Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe
In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z
Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they
Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be
Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
