That night, Anna did not go to Xander's room.He waited for her for over an hour after taking a shower, but she did not show up.Finally, he could not wait anymore. He went up to Anna's room and knocked on the door. "Anna? Anna!"No sound came from inside Anna's bedroom. He did not call her anymore for fear of attracting Wesley and the servants' attention. Instead, he turned the door handle and went in. Once inside, he saw Anna was already fast asleep on the bed."Wake up, Anna!"Xander turned on the bedside lamp and lifted her blanket unhappily.Anna woke up in fright, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the man beside the bed. It took her a moment to realize that she was not dreaming."Xander, what are you doing here?" she asked sleepily."Didn't I ask you to come to my room?""Huh?"Suppressing his anger, Xander leaned down and put both of his arms on Anna's bed. "You dare to defy my order?""No…""Then why didn't you come?""I… I…"That was as much as Anna could get out.
Anna would be painfully disappointed if she came with the hope of their relationship getting better after having sex. The whole process hurt so badly that she almost fainted.'Is it because I had the surgery?' she wondered.She vaguely remembered it did not hurt so badly when she did it the first time with the mysterious man in the hotel.After he finished, Xander sat up, and his eyes deepened when he saw the bright red blood stains on the sheets."Is this your first time?" he asked.Anna did not answer him. She remained curled up in pain on the bed. It hurt so much that she could not even turn over.After finishing his glass of red wine, Xander laid on top of her and entered her without giving her any time to ease herself into it.She started sobbing quietly with the blanket covering her face.Annoyed to see her acting like that, Xander turned around and went to the bathroom to clean himself up first.When he came out of the shower, Anna was still in the same position, crying
Nancy was about to get out of the car to return Ain's phone, but she hesitated. The more she thought about it, the weirder she found the whole thing.'Judging from the clothes and hairstyle I was wearing, these photos were taken very recently. So could it be that Ain has been secretly following me? Why would she do that?' thought Nancy as she walked into the hospital.Suddenly, she changed her mind when she got to Ain's ward. She wanted to discuss it with Yaacob first before giving her back her phone.However, just as Nancy was about to leave, she noticed a crack in the door and some kind of muffled sound coming from inside the ward.Out of curiosity, Nancy leaned in and, through the cracks, saw something that shocked her! Her eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. She saw Wilfred was on top of Ain. Even though Nancy had Wilfred arrested, he was able to get out on bail due to his status.'Didn't Ain say she was being bothered by Wilfr
In the end, Yaacob chose to side with Nancy."I also think it would be better to find out."Ain's eyes widened slightly, and she looked hurt.She typed something on her phone and showed it to Yaacob.[Yaacob, I don't want to do the test. You know a lot of bad things have happened to me, and the test would just bring up those memories. I want to forget them. Please don't do this to me.]Ain finally understood that he was Nancy's husband, so he would believe her unconditionally. A self-deprecating yet desperate smile appeared on her lips when her eyes fell on Nancy.Nancy met her eyes and finally felt a hint of hostility emanating from them. Ain had been pretending to be the 'tortured victim' and 'nice girl' ever since she reunited with Yaacob. However, Nancy had never let down her guard against her from the beginning until then.Yaacob, the gentleman, had never said anything bad about his ex-girlfriend. Even so, Nancy could tell Ain was a scheming, manipulative woman by the littl
Nancy walked out of the hospital with Yaacob chasing after her."Nancy!" he called out behind her. She heard it, but she did not look back or stop.Yaacob had no choice but to speed up and scoop her up into his arms."Ah!" Nancy was startled, but then she glared at Yaacob angrily.Yaacob looked back at her very tenderly. "You must be tired. So just rest and I'll carry you home."At that moment, Nancy felt like she was stabbed in the heart by a flaming arrow, making her feel warm but also a little sad.Nancy's voice softened as her frustration gradually disappeared. "Yaacob…""Now, now. Be a good girl and rest your head. We'll talk about this when you wake up."Yaacob's voice was soothing. Nancy actually fell asleep on his chest, combined with the rocking motion of his strong arms.When she woke up, she was already back at the Getsons' mansion. She opened her eyes and felt her head was not as fuzzy as before. She looked at the time and saw that it was exactly twelve o'clock mid
"I've met Ain before, but at that time I didn't know she was your husband's ex-girlfriend," answered Lola.Nancy could not think of a time when Lola and Ain would cross paths."Where did you two meet?" she asked."I can't tell you that for the time being." Lola was very cautious and knew how to use the information she had at her disposal to get what she wanted. "How about this? You only need to tell me Mr. Smith's address, and I'll tell you a secret that'll solve all your problems. It's a win-win solution.""It does sound like a win-win solution," said Nancy with a nod.Lola immediately looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to reveal Randall's address.However, Nancy suddenly said, "But I still don't want to tell you.""Why not? It's just an address. It's not like you'll be doing something criminal. Plus, it's not like you're close to his wife. So are you really going to give up the chance to protect your own relationship for someone you're not even close to?""No, it's ju
Yaacob sat down on the edge of the bed and tried to reason with Nancy, "Nancy, didn't I tell you to stay out of this? Why didn't you discuss with me first about going to the hospital for the interview?""You didn't discuss with me before you went to the hospital to rescue Ain from the reporters either? My professor played that video clip in our class! My husband was in the hospital protecting his ex-girlfriend, who had recently been rumored to be with him. Do you know what others thought of me at that moment?""I admit it's my fault for not thinking it through."After that, the two of them fell silent.Nancy and Yaacob rarely had such quiet moments together because they could not keep their hands to themselves. Even if Yaacob were busy with work, they would still have some fun, so it was quite rare for there to be such serious tension in the room.Nancy suddenly panicked when she realized that Yaacob had nothing to say to her. Before Yaacob could turn around and leave, she grabbed
A gust of wind kicked up, causing Nancy to shiver and goosebumps to appear all over her body.'Just what is he trying to pull? Why is he flirting with me? Ugh. It makes me sick,' thought Nancy.She was about to return to her room to prove she and Yaacob were just fine, but Julian stopped her before she could even stand up."I heard that you used to be a woman who would do anything for love, Nancy. So what happened to you?" asked Julian."What do you mean what happened to me?" asked Nancy angrily."You've become a coward!"Nancy was speechless."Weren't you the type who would fight anyone who wrongs you? At least that's what you did to me, isn't it?"Even though Nancy and Julian did not get along, she had to admit that his words made her feel a little better.Having been caught off guard by Ain several times before, Nancy found herself all over the place. However, when she really gave it some thought, Ain was just a one-trick pony who only knew how to play the victim card.In
