The marriage between Zoey Jenner and Laurence Scott initially started as only a transaction. However, she has always had feelings for him, and the show isn’t as make-believe as it seems. Her husband, on the other hand, has never once considered her feelings or felt anything for her in returned. For her, he holds not a bit of love. Zoey’s long-held crush for Laurence dies on the day he made her have a surgery in the hospital. She abandons her pride and begs her husband to show mercy to their child. Yet, Laurence only calmly says, “Don’t be naive.”Many years later, Zoey returns to Northwell. He pins her down in a dark corner and says huskily, “Zoey, don’t go.”

Zoey had no idea either. Anne continued, “It wouldn’t be easy being the president’s wife. Imagine having to deal with so many other women throwing themselves at your man.”Zoey agreed with that. It was certainly annoying being Laurence’s wife. Zoey and Laurence had been married for more than half a year.Their story was a classic: they had sex and had the misfortune of getting caught by Laurence’s mother. At the time, she had come out of Laurence’s bedroom wearing his shirt, and his mother thought that she was his girlfriend. Laurence’s mother had been worried about her son’s marriage, so she invited Zoey to have dinner with his family.At the same time, Laurence had had enough of his mother’s constant urging for him to get married and the endless blind dates she had set up for him. So he proposed a business marriage between them. She needed the money, and he needed the marriage.So they got married.Laurence would pay her a sum of money as compensation and also pay for her mother’s

His voice was impassive as well. “Don’t worry, we’ll never have a child.”Zoey nodded and answered softly, “I understand.”She did understand. To Laurence, everything was negotiable except a relationship. In high school, Laurence had been the most popular kid, whereas she had been invisible. She was like an extra in a movie, just watching from the sidelines as the main character got together with the love of his life. She couldn’t remember how long she had been in love with Laurence. When Laurence suggested that they get married, she thought that she was dreaming.Throughout high school, she had only spoken three words to him: “Hi, I’m Zoey.”Laurence didn’t even remember that they were classmates in high school. He didn’t know that she had once been so nervous about introducing herself to him back then. Zoey sat on the bed in the dark.She caressed her stomach. It was hard to imagine a child in there, much less her and Laurence’s child. But she couldn’t be sure yet. Pregnancy tests w

Zoey’s expression soured. “I’ll go when I have time.”The assistant laughed awkwardly. “It’s tomorrow. Don’t forget to go.”Zoey’s breathing was heavy. “Okay.” She hadn’t expected Laurence to be so quick. “I’ll be on time.”The office was filled with the smell of coffee. Zoey was nauseous all afternoon. She only felt slightly better after opening the window for some fresh air. Before the day ended, she went to the bathroom to vomit again. She hadn’t expected her morning sickness to be so serious.Just after she cleaned herself up, her phone rang. Zoey answered the call.Laurence’s voice sounded cold through the phone. “Where are you?”“Bathroom,” Zoey replied.“I’m waiting for you in the car park. We’re going home for dinner tonight.”“Yes, Mr. Scott.”Thankfully, they rarely went back to have dinner with the Scott family. Laurence’s mother was hoping for a grandchild. In the car, Zoey felt nervous sitting next to Laurence. He had a strong aura that often made people nervous.He looked

Zoey’s hand was shaking uncontrollably. Her tears fell onto the paper and smudged the ink. She lifted her hand and wiped away her tears. Lips pressed tightly together, she tore up the note and threw it into the trash can. Zoey knew Laurence well. She knew he didn’t like to be disobeyed.Anyone who crossed him would see retribution tenfold. Zoey picked up the check, gripping it so hard that it crumpled in her hand. When she finally calmed down, she shoved it into her bag. She had no reason to refuse this. She needed the money more than anyone else did.Zoey went downstairs and ate her breakfast. Right on time, Matthew, Laurence’s assistant, called her to remind her about the checkup at the hospital. Zoey hung up the phone and took a taxi to the hospital. At the hospital, she paid someone to do the checkup in her place.Once the woman she hired came up, she took a taxi to another hospital and did a check. It would take a few days for them to generate a report, but the doctor told her tha

Anne leaned close to Zoey’s ear and whispered, “I heard that Mr. Scott’s crush came back from abroad, but she’s sick.”Zoey was taken aback. She hadn’t heard anything about Sarah coming back. However, it was true that Sarah was sickly. Zoey did not like Sarah. She didn’t like Sarah’s mother either. The both of them had stayed in her mother’s house previously. It was Sarah’s mother who had caused Zoey’s mother to commit suicide. Death would’ve been an easy way out, but there were worse fates than death. Zoey had given it some thought before. If she had been cheated out of her entire life savings by the man she thought she loved and had to endure her husband’s mistress’ bullying in her own house, she would probably kill herself too.Therefore, she was cold when she answered, “I see.”That night, Zoey had to accompany Laurence to a charity banquet. In the car, she could tell that Laurence was in a bad mood. He was cold and distant. Zoey only remembered her condition when they were about

Chapter 7
Tristan did not get an answer after a long wait.“So do you mind?” he eventually asked. Laurence was expressionless.“Well, I don’t,” Laurence continued with a dry smile just as Tristan was about to express his excitement. “But you should ask her.”Tristan clicked his tongue.“I can’t tell if you care about her or not.”Miss Jenner was very pretty and elegant. She had a great figure. Anyone could see that she was hot. Unfortunately, Laurence was a cold and unfeeling man. Tristan had known Laurence for a long time and therefore knew him well enough. He had never seen Laurence being nice to any woman who wasn’t Sarah.Back then, Laurence was very nice to Sarah. He loved his first crush with everything he had. Laurence looked at him impassively and said, “Business is business. She wouldn’t mind.”Tristan was actually joking earlier, but he hadn’t expected Laurence to be so “generous.” Well, maybe it wasn’t that unexpected. Laurence had always been rational.Tristan couldn’t help but say

Chapter 8
Zoey paled. Laurence had never really cared about her. To him, she was just a vessel for his lust. At that moment, Laurence was cleaning her fingers that were stained with wine. He was quiet and focused on cleaning every finger. This was one of the rare times Laurence showed her some tenderness. She couldn’t help but fall for him a little more every time he showed it. All she wanted was the tiny bit of love that he would sometimes show her. She wasn’t greedy for money, but she hungered for love.Suddenly, the memories of a summer long gone returned. It was the last class they had before the summer. The weather had been perfect. When she passed by his classroom, the sun was shining on his face. The boy she loved was using a ribbon to tie one of his hands to Sarah’s while she was sleeping.Laurence had propped his head up on one hand and watched her lovingly as she slept. When the rest of their classmates began to get rowdy, he signaled for them to shut up so that they wouldn’t disturb

Chapter 9
Laurence told the driver to send her back home by herself. He didn’t stay for the night. Maybe he had been let down by her constant refusal of sex. After a quick shower, Zoey went downstairs and ate some cake. The overpowering sweetness of the confection barely registered on her tastebuds. Tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably.Her pregnancy had made her more emotional than usual. She didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing. Zoey wiped away her tears and sat in the living room for a moment, just staring blankly into the air. Once she settled her emotions, she went upstairs. She was very tired, but she couldn’t sleep.She took out her phone, tapped on the first contact on Whatsapp, and began typing hesitantly.“Laurence, I’m pregnant.”Her finger paused on the send button. Never mind, she decided at the last minute. What was the use of telling him? It wasn’t like he would do anything differently. Zoey decided to get an abortion that weekend.Having decided tha

Soon, Zoey returned to the office. As soon as she arrived, Anne ran over to her and grabbed her hand.“Miss Jenner!”Zoey pursed her lips.“What happened?”Anne looked upset.“Mr. Scott just fired us.”Zoey was flabbergasted.One of Laurence’s assistants, Sandra, continued, “Yvette Sullivan barged into the meeting room just now. It’s our fault for not stopping her, but…”This was a great job with generous benefits. None of them wanted to lose their jobs. In the following pause, Zoey remembered fleetingly a scene from the last banquet she had attended, where she had seen Yvette kissing Laurence. He had been wearing a suit with the collar of the shirt unbuttoned. While Yvette was kissing him, he just stood there and smiled.He didn’t push her away, but he also didn’t kiss her back. He just let her kiss him. It was true that many women would do anything to have him as their own.“Miss Jenner,” Anne begged, “can you please talk to Mr. Scott?”She looked so miserable that Zoey couldn’t bear
